Chapter 171
A few days later, Mu Yun went to attend a banquet. The beautiful Princess Zhao, who was once so beautiful, brought several concubines of King Zhao, and they all became much more low-key.
King Zhao is dead. Although the emperor did not openly ask for guilt, the power of the King Zhao's mansion is no longer as powerful as before.
Now they met Mu Yun, who had been greeted by the second-rank imperial edict, and in the past they had just been polite, but the last woman walked with them stopped and looked at Mu Yun with a smile and asked, "Is this the wife of Lord Wen, the leader of the famous Imperial Guard? Mrs. Wen is such a blessing~"
Mu Yun looked at the other person with a familiar look, but for a while, she really couldn't remember where she had seen him. However, she looked at the other person as if she was targeting her. Mu Yun thought for a moment and thought about the other person's identity.
If you want to say that among the concubines of the princes of each family, there is only one person who has something to do with him. What's wrong? If you don't plan to become your husband, you will still have to cause trouble for yourself? But why did she get along with the concubines of the Prince Zhao's mansion?
Although he thought so, Mu Yun responded indifferently: "Mrs. Mei has been too rewarded. My wife cannot bear it, and I can't stand you so much praise!" Mu Yun looked sincerely grateful, and seemed to not notice the mockery in Mei's tone.
Concubine Mei didn't expect that the other party was so thick-skinned, and thought that Wen Tingzhou rejected his charming sister for the sake of the person in front of him, and even mocked the family tradition of his parents. He sneered in anger and said, "Hmph, Mrs. Wen is indeed a clever man. No wonder she can climb from a little maid to a second-rank imperial decree! Mrs. Wen not only has a straightforward mouth, but her face is also really good."
After hearing this, Mu Yun replied without showing any weakness: "Compared with Concubine Mei's popularity in the Ming Prince's Mansion, you are simply not good at comparing your Taoist skills with Concubine Mei!"
Mu Yun's words directly ignited Concubine Mei's anger, and she said angrily: "Hmph~ I am the daughter-in-law of the Tian family after all, how can you, the wife of a minister, arrange it at will?"
Before he finished speaking, a cold voice came from behind the crowd: "Daughter-in-law of the Tian family? Why don't this princess remember that there is a character like you in the royal concubine?"
While talking, a middle-aged noble lady wearing eight-tailed silver phoenix hairpin had already come over. The person who came was Princess Ke, the mother of Yuan Chuzhi. Originally, she didn't have to come here according to Princess Ke's seniority, but she was a good friend to Princess Yingyang who held the banquet, so she came to take a look. Unexpectedly, just as she got out of the sedan chair, she saw a charming and charming woman making things difficult for her daughter's friend. Princess Ke, the child, was considered a big one, so she couldn't help but speak.
She walked to Concubine Mei and stood still, sneering, "You are just a concubine, or you are promoted from the concubine, and you dare to claim to be the wife of the Tian family? Who gave you such a big face? In your Ming Palace, the prince is a good-spirited person, and the princess is a good-natured person, so you are allowed to be in the Ming Palace. But now you open your eyes and look at it. This is the Princess Yingyang Mansion, how can you be so arrogant and unrestrained?"
Concubine Mei has always been used to being rampant in the Ming Palace. Today, she finally came to such an occasion where she showed up in public, but she had been tidying up at home for a long time before going out. Unexpectedly, she was ridiculed by Princess Ke. When did she suffer such grievances since she entered the Ming Palace? She was a little embarrassed at the moment, but she could not have a conflict with Princess Ke, so she suppressed her anger and entered Princess Yingyang's mansion with a smile.
But before she could walk a few steps, she saw Liuli, the maid next to Princess Yingyang, coming. Liuli saluted to everyone present, and turned to Concubine Mei and said, "Concubine Mei, please stay. Our princess said that the princess's mansion is different from the Ming Prince's Mansion. Our princess's mansion is not a side room where we are wild. The princess is afraid that Concubine Mei will be so arrogant that she will ruin the ladies in our mansion, so she did not invite Concubine Mei to the backyard. I am really sorry, Concubine Mei, please return." After saying that, she made a gesture of inviting her.
This was really a great humiliation for Concubine Mei. She seemed to feel that the concubines around her were laughing at her. She turned around and walked out, not even sitting in the sedan chair in the princess's mansion. The maids and mothers who followed her hurriedly followed her.
After she left, Mu Yun tidied up his clothes and bowed to Princess Ke and thanked him: "Thank you, Princess Ke for your help."
Princess Ke helped her up and said to the people present: "Okay, it's just a little storm. Everyone doesn't have to take it seriously. Please come from the princesses and ladies."
Everyone then entered the backyard of the princess's mansion. No matter what they were looking at Mu Yungao, they looked at Mu Yungao in their hearts. Especially those who were successful, shocked by the other party's faint words confirmed the reputation of King Ming's favored concubines and killed his wife. What? No? Humph, Mrs. Wen said that the other party was in the palace and the princess Mei did not deny it, and even threatened that she was the "daughter-in-law of the Tian family". It was so stupid that it was hopeless! The King Ming's ability to pamper such a person shows that his own qualities don't need to be said too much.
Let’s talk about Concubine Mei’s house, and naturally she would cry to King Ming. She thought that King Ming would definitely help her make decisions to get some face for her, but she didn’t expect that King Ming was furious: “How did I tell you? You’re just a little bit more arrogant in the mansion, but outsiders can’t see it. As long as the princess doesn’t say it, the people outside will be half-believing and half-doubted, who can do anything to you. But when you go outside, you have to pretend to be more decent. Now, you, a princess, ran to the first-rate princess and the princess to act arrogantly, and were driven out by the princess, and you still make decisions for you? This is now a laughing stock in the capital!”
But after all, it was a person who had been in love for many years. Seeing the look of the pear blossom crying with rain, the Ming King still couldn't bear to punish him, but just said angrily: "Oh, I'd let the princess go if I had known it, forgot, I'll go and talk to her." After that, he was about to go out.
Concubine Mei suddenly grabbed the sleeve of King Ming: "Why do you have to tell the princess about this?" She subconsciously didn't want Princess Ming to see her jokes.
The Ming King said angrily: "If I don't say such a big thing, the princess won't know. Besides, if you do this in Princess Yingyang's mansion, you must not let the princess confess and apologize, right? Really, why are you becoming more and more ignorant! You stay in the mansion these days first, and you are not allowed to go out to cause trouble!" After saying that, he left. This time he left resolutely, leaving Concubine Mei to stay where she was and couldn't help crying.
Not to mention how the Ming King begged Princess Ming to go to Princess Yingyang to plead with her, she only said that Mu Yun stayed in Princess Yingyang's mansion until dark and the banquet ended. She brought the compensation given by Princess Yingyang to a good mood.
When she got home, Wen Tingzhou was already at home and was playing with the little monkey. When she saw her coming back, she put the little pumpkin in her arms back into the cradle, stood up and smiled, "It's considered back. I asked the kitchen to make your favorite braised sea bass and fish ball soup. You can eat some."
Mu Yun smiled and said, "It's already this time, can the princess and lady ignore us for dinner? Did you eat it?"
Wen Tingzhou nodded: "I've eaten it all. The princess's mansion holds a banquet today. Although the food cooked in such a banquet is exquisite, it is all the food that is not good. You must not be full, so eat some more." As he said that, he asked the maid to go to the kitchen to pass on the meal.
When Mu Yun changed his clothes and the food was ready, Mu Yun sat at the table with a smile and said, "I didn't feel hungry at first, but I suddenly felt a little hungry when I smelled the fragrance."
However, it is not advisable to eat too much at night. Mu Yun only drank a bowl of soup and ate a few bites of fish, and then gave the remaining vegetables to the maids.
Seeing that she had finished eating, Wen Tingzhou asked with a smile: "Is it delicious?"
Mu Yun nodded: "It's delicious. The sea bass is more tender than before, and the fish is tighter, so it doesn't look like it's from our farm."
Wen Tingzhou replied, "You are also tricky. This is taken from the sea. It tastes better than the one raised in our farm. Some of them have given me some. It's better to keep them for you for two months."
Mu Yun is now used to such a "corrupt" life, so she doesn't think anything strange. However, at this time, Wen Tingzhou usually handles some of the things he brought back in the study, and usually doesn't sit here all the time. Therefore, she couldn't help but ask: "Why are you so leisurely today? All official duties have been handled?"
Wen Tingzhou pulled her hand and kneaded it twice: "What's wrong, are you going to drive me away?"
Mu Yun smiled and hugged her hand: "You are talking nonsense, you know I don't mean that."
Wen Tingzhou teased her with a smile: "What does that lady mean, huh?" Mu Yun turned around and glared at him in annoyance.
Suddenly, the words Wen Tingzhou said almost shocked everyone's chins in the room. Even Mu Yun thought she had heard it wrong, so she couldn't help but ask again: "Mr., what did you say just now?"
Wen Tingzhou looked into her eyes and said, "I said, I have already released the body contract of Sister Guan Jing's family and let them go out of the house?"
Mu Yun was shocked. Although she wanted to make some trouble for Manager Li, she never thought of driving them out of the family. Guan Jing's brother-in-law's husband's family surname was Li, so everyone called her Miss Li.
Mu Yun said immediately: "Although Manager Li is not doing things well recently, he is an old man in our family after all, and he is also concerned about his face. As I said, I just need to punish him. Why did he get out like this? The family has been in our family for many years, and they have worked hard without any credit. How can the family work after leaving the house like this?"
Wen Tingzhou touched her head: "You are just too soft-hearted. Since you have seen what he is wrong, why don't you tell me? Do you think I can't give you a servant the face? If you think about him like this, others won't be grateful for your affection."
Wen Tingzhou thought of the beauty and beauty that Hongxiu dressed up several times appeared in front of him. Wen Tingzhou didn't believe that her father, as the family's manager, didn't know about this. He was afraid that he not only knew about it but also helped fuel the fire. Also, when he met Mei Yueyue, who leaked his itinerary?
I didn't know if I didn't check it. After checking, I found out that the manager of Li Da was no longer the loyal and conscientious old Li. If it weren't for the sake of the custody, he wouldn't want them to live a good life!
Wen Tingzhou sighed and said to Mu Yun, "I have finished the family matter, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. In the future, whether the servants in the family are old or new, as long as they dare to disrespect you, you just need to deal with it. As a servant, no matter how much affection he has, you should not think about fooling his master. If he makes his master unhappy because of his own selfish desires, there is no relationship." Then he paused and said, "You are my wife. No matter when, I will not suspect or deny you for a servant or an outsider, do you know? So, you don't have to deal with a servant in the future so carefully."
Mu Yun was moved and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Then aren't you afraid that I will do anything that is unfavorable to you?"
Wen Tingzhou looked into her eyes: "Do you do?"
