Chapter 38: Watching the Play (Part 2)
The illegitimate girl was the thing that the girl in red was most reluctant to be mentioned. Her resentful eyes stared at the girl in blue who was stepping on her pain, and said sternly: "Rao Minghui..."
"We are the legitimate daughters with noble status, and we do not have the same knowledge as the concubine, so as not to reduce our identity..." Rao Minghui, without waiting for the girl in red to speak out, raised her head proudly and led the people who came with her back along the same path.
"This illegitimate child is a illegitimate child, and it cannot be on the surface." Another sarcastic sentence, which once again hurt the nerves of the girl in red.
"Rao Minghui, wait, I won't let you have a good life." The girl in red stamped her feet and shouted in anger.
"Sister Mengdie, don't be angry." A girl in a pink and blue dress stepped forward and persuaded.
"I can't be angry with her, Rao Minghui just had a mad dog, and he would bite whoever he saw." Another girl stepped forward and persuaded.
Several girls persuaded each other in a verbal manner, and Li Mengdie stopped angry and said, "I will make them lose face at the peach blossom banquet later."
"The piano played by Sister Mengdie is very nice. At that time, we will have the honor to see the style again."
"The piano music played by Sister Mengdie is surrounding the beam for three days."
The others followed and said compliments, which made Li Mengdie's face improve, and said proudly: "Let's go to Wanqingyuan."
Li Mengdie and his group left the path on the right, but two girls did not follow him, as if they were intentionally falling behind. When Li Mengdie walked away, one of them spat at Qing and said contemptuously: "It's just a lowly concubine born by Ge Girl. What's so great about it? You dare to show off."
Another snorted coldly: "She offended the two princesses and would not have a good ending. We should stay away from her and watch the show aside."
The two of them said as they led their maid to the middle path.
Everyone left, and the surroundings were silent. Song Ruoxi walked out from behind the barrier. She felt a lot when watching this scene. The peach blossom banquet was probably not good for a while. There would be a big show, and her eyes were circulating, "Xiangxiu, let's go to Wanqingyuan."
The two of them did not enter through the main courtyard gate of Wanqing Courtyard, but turned around and entered through the side gate of the first entrance and second entrance courtyard. Song Ruoxi found a corner that was not noticed and stood there. Princess Sheng Yu had not arrived yet, and the ladies who had arrived early were drinking tea and chatting in the main hall of the first entrance courtyard.
Princess Sheng Yu, who was waiting in the temple to come to incense, had not yet come. In addition to the dozen nuns in Taohua Temple, there were dozens of palace maids from Qibao Palace.
Although Song Ruoxi changed into a light green new dress, wearing a small double-snail bun, and wearing a round bead hairpin, compared to those ladies and girls who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had pearls and jade heads, this outfit and appearance were too ordinary, and he stood in the corner, which did not attract the attention of others at all.
"When it comes to embroidery, I remembered something." A noble lady turned her head and smiled at the lady wearing a navy blue dress on her right. "Madam Yin, your slut was not made for my girl a few days ago. It was exquisite and beautiful. Our second child didn't know it was made by her. She thought it was made by her sister, so she almost snatched it. Later, she found out that it was embroidered by her, so she felt embarrassed. My slut often praised her in front of me. Now she doesn't need to coax her, so she embroidered her handkerchief and said she wanted to give her a gift. She followed her slut and learned her lesson."
The lady in a hidden blue dress is Jian'er's legitimate mother, Mrs. Chengjinhou, Mrs. Tuo Yin, her daughter, is about to go to the front door in March this year. When she was looking at each other and talking about kissing, her eyes flashed and said, "Madam is laughing. How can the children do the work of playing with children? How can I get the praise of the second son? The Qi family has three heroes, and the second son is handsome and has a tiger son. The wife really has raised two good sons, which really makes me envious."
"Oh, they are all good kids, they are all good kids." Mrs. Qi smiled and praised her son. She didn't get bored when she heard the car. "Since I met Wuer, I have treated her as a daughter, and I wish she was our daughter."
"It is a blessing for my girl to be loved by her wife. We mothers just hope that the child can find a good family and live a good life smoothly." Tuo Yin understood that the other party was intending to kiss her, and said as he followed the words.
"Children are the mother's flesh. As long as they are well, we will feel at ease." Knowing that Tuo Yin agreed, Mrs. Qi smiled with satisfaction.
The lady next to her also heard what they said and laughed, "Two good things are good, and good things are good."
Song Ruoxi didn't understand it very well. According to the words, it can be understood that the two of them were polite and praised each other's children. After thinking about it for a while, they realized it.
"Mrs. Yin is the best at teaching her daughter. Even the concubine who had no biological mother raised in the temple is like a legitimate daughter. She is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female red needles." A lady said sarcastically.
Song Ruoxi felt a stern heart. He already knew who Mrs. Yin was. Seeing that the corners of her eyebrows and mouth were shrewd, I wonder if that silly girl Jian'er was at a disadvantage? Due to the strict orders of his master, it was difficult to inquire. I hope everything was well.
"Being a legitimate mother treats a concubine's daughter well, this is a kind person. Mrs. Rao is not generous, so she helped her concubine choose a good wife." The wife, who is a good friend of Tuo Yin, went back sarcastically.
Mrs. Rao snorted coldly, turned her face away, and talked to the people next to her.
The wives and daughters of officials above the third rank and above were invited at the Flower Festival. These wives usually talk about the backyard, and they are all about the affairs of the backyard, and do not involve political affairs in the court. They are no more experienced than those girls. They are skilled in the world and are smart. Even if there is a discord in private, they will not bring them out on the surface. They are polite and polite, and the compliments are just right, and the ridicule is still obscure.
While speaking, two more wives came in. Some picked up teacups, lowered their eyelids, sat in the seat without moving, pretending not to know that someone had come in, including Tuo Yin and Mrs. Qi; some stood up and saluted, and heard their name to her was: "Madam Ji, Mrs. Ji Er."
Song Ruoxi guessed that there were two sisters-in-laws, but he didn't know that these two were her aunts. The palace maids asked the two Mrs. Ji to sit down and bring tea. Mrs. Ji talked to his good wife, but ignored Tuo Yin and others.
After chatting for a while, Princess Lu, Princess Qi appeared with Huang Wen and An Ning, and greeted him again. Then Princess Tang and Princess Su came together. Mrs. Changping Hou, Princess Xiang County, Princess Fu County, Princess Shunshu, Princess Rongshu and others came in. The girls who were playing in the garden also came and stood beside their mothers.
Song Ruoxi saw a girl who looked like Jian'er standing beside Tuo Yin. If it weren't for the difference in age, she almost admitted her mistake. She stood sore and saw the ladies saying those scenes again. She was bored to hear that she pulled the sleeves of the incense and took her out of the small door, and went along the chasing porch to the second yard. As soon as she came out, Jingyu came in with Princess Sheng Yu in front.
