Chapter 254 Mud Legs
Chapter 254 Mud Legs
However, as the New Year is approaching, many concubines whose families are in the capital can send invitations to invite their families to the palace to sit and reminisce about the past.
When Xu arrived in the imperial city, the first thing she did was to go to Shuyuexuan to see Qin Huaijin, but she didn't dare to sit there for long. After a while, she pulled Qin Huaijin to Zhaoyang Palace.
When Qin Huaijin met her biological mother, she became the same person she was at home, pouting and unwilling to go with her to see Qin Liuse.
Xu looked disgusted at her immaturity, "Jin Jie'er, how old are you? You're not young anymore. The girl in the south is pregnant and can be a mother. Why are you still so angry?"
The reason why Mrs. Xu was dissatisfied with her daughter was that from the outside, Qin Huaijin and Qin Liuse were both her daughters. Now that Qin Liuse had a higher position, she should go to see her first.
But she just favored Qin Huaijin, her biological son, and was not familiar with Qin Liuse at all. However, after coming to Beijing that year, she spent more than a month with Qin Liuse in the mansion, and she really had no feelings for him.
I came here first because I was afraid that my beloved would be angry.
"If you come for a while, you can still use the excuse that you are the elder sister and our family follows the rules of seniority to get away with it. But if you stay any longer, it will be impolite."
Xu said, "If you don't go, I will go by myself."
Qin Huaijin was reluctant, but still followed Xu obediently to Zhaoyang Palace.
When she arrived at the Zhaoyang Palace, she naturally had to call Qin Liuse, the "daughter" whom she did not recognize, "Zhaoyi", as if they were really a mother and daughter with deep feelings for each other.
Qin Liuse naturally followed her to finish the drama, thinking about the expressions of Xu and Qin Huaijin towards her when she first entered the Qin Mansion.
Now, because she is favored, he is so reluctant, but he still has to smile at her and wag his tail like a pug.
Qin Liuse originally felt a little bored during her pregnancy and thought she would be annoyed to see Xu, but unexpectedly, she felt in a very good mood after seeing her.
When meeting her, Qin Liuse was not in a hurry to bring up the topic. She was still lazy. Anyway, she was not embarrassed. She should think about Xu.
Indeed, they didn't know each other at first, and Xu didn't like her as a foreigner. She didn't plan to get to know her better. She thought that she was sent to the palace to serve the late emperor who was half buried, and she would have to guard the imperial tomb in a few years.
Who knew that she first went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and then thought that she had followed the wrong hill and there was no way to save her. Fortunately, she did not send her own daughter there.
Who knew that she was so lucky, after two twists and turns, she actually met a true dragon emperor and became the new emperor.
Because of this, Xu was actually a little arrogant in her heart, thinking that if it weren't for their Qin family, if she hadn't been given the opportunity, Qin Liuse wouldn't even have the chance to meet Emperor Yongjia.
With such a twisted and tangled mind, Xu's attitude towards Qin Liuse can only be described as twisted.
Since they had nothing to say for a while, they found something to talk about and talked about all the gossips that had been going on in the aristocratic circles of the capital city in recent days.
With the gossip, Qin Liuse temporarily put aside his dissatisfaction with her.
I asked, "How come it spread so quickly?"
Xu smiled and said, "The circle in the capital is not that big. There is no good person in the Prince's Mansion. Prince Chu is a drunkard and a whore, and the Princess is not an easy person to deal with. She first lent money at high interest and also likes to gamble. If the couple gambles together, they will lose all their wealth."
So when those people went to collect debts, beating drums and gongs, didn't the news spread everywhere?
"The young master of the Zhang family is a promising man, and Zhuang has good vision, but she is a little overbearing. She knows that her marriage was robbed, but she still doesn't behave herself. What's the point of having a few concubines in this young master's room?"
Mrs. Xu shook her head. After all, Zhuang Yan was her cousin's daughter. "Sister Yan has been spoiled by her family and is used to being lawless. If she didn't care about her reputation so much and told everyone that Mr. Zhang would not take a concubine, would she not dare to go out these days?"
It's the end of the year and Zhuang Yan likes to move around in the Beijing circle, but because of this change, she refuses to go anywhere.
As for the second son of Duke Dingguo, before Xu sent Qin Huaijin into the palace, she also thought about arranging a marriage for her daughter with his family.
The Dingguo family is prominent, and the second son is capable of his own achievements and shouldering the family's responsibilities. Xu had discussed with Qin Boyuan at the beginning that if Qin Huaijin could be born a few years earlier, it would be very nice to marry him to such a family.
"If he was kept outside, no one would know about it. But Master Yan didn't come home for a few days, and Shi thought that the couple had a quarrel, so she sent someone to follow him. But when they found out, they inevitably had a big quarrel, and the gossipy servants in the mansion spread the news."
Xu's lips were as thin as Qin Huaijin's, so she talked non-stop.
Now that Qin Liuse is favored, she is nominally their daughter, and Xu is also doing things according to Qin Boyuan's wishes, saying that she wants to win her over so that things will be easier in the future, so she talks so much and knows everything."
Qin Huaijin was familiar with these women, and couldn't help but speak for them, "Sister Shi has already given Yan Erlang two concubines, why is Yan Erlang still cheating outside?"
"It's inevitable for a man not to cheat. Yan Erlang is such a promising man, so what if there's one more? What's the difference between two and three? At least he can stay as the main wife."
Xu was an experienced person and had heard a lot. "Sister Shi was also wrong in this matter. How could she dismiss the servants who had served the master for many years as soon as she entered the house? When Yan's second son came back from the northwest, he didn't recognize anyone in the courtyard. Didn't he plant a rift in his heart?"
Xu was obviously still evaluating Yan Shouyu with the same eyes as when she chose her son-in-law. "Yan's second son is quite nice. He has been married for so many years and has been in the northwest frequently. He doesn't even have a girl to serve him. It's not easy for a grown man to have no caring person to serve him."
"Those two concubines were brought up by your sister Shi when she was pregnant. Even your grandfather couldn't do this."
It is not uncommon to say that this is the first time that Qin Liuse resonates with Xu. You know, when the Ninth Prince was in the northwest during those years, he brought Xin with him and kept many concubines in his house.
However, Xu was also puzzled. "I don't know what happened this time. I don't know if there is any rift between him and Shi that no one else knows about. He actually fell in love with a farm girl."
Qin Huaijin said sourly, "What else can I do? She must be a foxy girl. General Yan doesn't mind that she comes from a poor family and smells like dirt."
Xu smiled after hearing this, "I guess your sister Shi would also like to know about this."
