Chapter 515 Sister-in-law, open the door, I am my brother 6
Standing at the door and listening to the laughter inside, Yin Zhen seemed calm but his hands were clenched tightly under his sleeves. Qingqing was the most suitable daughter-in-law in everyone's eyes and she was also beautiful. Even if Fourth Brother had a lover, he would still show some mercy to her, right?
Men are all about looks, aren't they? He pursed his lips, trying to get rid of the voice in his head, reminding himself again and again that he couldn't show it, otherwise it would kill two people, but he couldn't control his love for her because it would overflow from his eyes.
He left Zhuohua Palace with difficulty, feeling as if his heart was being fried in oil. When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, the servant Jin Yao came over and respectfully handed him the information he had found out.
"So that's how it is." Yin Zhen's eyes flushed red, and he became calmer. "Are there any of our people in Fourth Brother's house?"
Dancing in the Imperial Garden didn't seduce the emperor, but instead made Fourth Brother fall in love with him at first sight and ask for his hand in marriage? That's why the emperor chose Qingqing to be the Fourth Prince's Consort? The calculations behind the scenes are really enough!
You have to lose more than you gain, right? Not to mention the principal wife, you didn't even get a concubine! Yin Zhen had a sneer on his face, not like a teenager of seventeen or eighteen at all.
"My lord, there are a few of them everywhere, but they can't say much." Jin Yao lowered his head slightly, his mind full of crazy thoughts. Could it be that the master was thinking about that?
"That's enough," Yin Zhen's eyes flashed with a cold look, "Everyone lie dormant and wait for orders, but protect Qingqing well."
"Yes," Jin Yao lowered his head. He was committing a sin. Why did his master love beauty? Couldn't he have a little ambition?
"Put Shuying and Qingqian in there," Yin Zhen lowered his head, turning the ring on his left thumb with his right hand, his eyebrows and eyes sharp.
"Yes." Jin Yao straightened his expression. This was really a difficult situation.
Prince Jing and Jiuli left the palace and returned home at sunset with large rewards. They had a simple meal and then rested.
Afterwards, King Jing rested in the main courtyard for three days according to the rules.
"Anxiang," Jiuli raised her hand and glanced at the side when she stood up. The completely cold temperature silently indicated that King Jing should have left for court very early today.
"Your servant, I'm here." An Xiang Ying Xiu and the other person walked in side by side and hung up the moon-shadow gauze beside the bed with a golden hook.
"What time is it?" Jiuli narrowed his eyes, like a lazy little fox, and opened his hands to let Yingxiu help him put on his clothes.
"Three quarters past the hour of Mao," Anxiang and Yingxiu said in coordination.
"Is everyone here?" Jiuli sat in front of the dressing table, her eyes as calm as water, holding the indigo in her fingers as she put on makeup.
"Not everyone has arrived yet." Anxiang's eyes turned cold for a moment.
"Have you prepared the things?" Jiuli tilted her head and glanced at Anxiang.
"It's ready. Concubine Zhu has a complete set of gold-inlaid coral headpieces, Concubine Li has a pair of pink tourmaline hairpins, and Madam Qi, Madam Song, and Madam Miao have gold-inlaid agate bracelets."
"Each of the maids below shall have a ring of red gold and a pearl."
Yingxiu put on the red gold and red jade hairpin for Jiuli and looked at Jiuli in the mirror with satisfaction. Her master was so beautiful.
In Qiaoguang Garden, Concubine Zhu picked up two pieces of dessert and ate them. When she saw that it was almost time, she headed towards the main courtyard.
The people below were well-informed, but Concubine Li was the first to arrive at the main courtyard. She felt that her eyes were not enough to see the exhibits.
"Sister Li came early today." Concubine Zhu looked eager with her beautiful eyes and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"I greet Concubine Zhu," Concubine Li stood up. She was wearing a peach pink embroidered top and skirt with crabapple flowers, which made her look as charming as peach blossoms in March.
"Forget it," Concubine Zhu cursed inwardly.
"Sister Zhu looks really good in what she wears today." Concubine Li stood up and looked at Concubine Zhu, thinking to herself, is this a way to show off to the princess? They are all so flashy.
"You're not bad either," Concubine Zhu replied honestly.
"I don't know what our princess' temper is like. If you ask me, "Mrs. Qi said as she looked at Concubine Zhu.
"Madam Qi, it's better for me to come here if I'm worried about you." Concubine Zhu rolled her eyes. She is content now that she has a son.
Mrs. Miao on the side covered her belly with her hands, trying hard to reduce her presence, after all, this was her hope for the future.
Concubine Li's eyes rolled, as if she had thought of something, and she no longer participated in the open and secret fights between the two people. She only looked at the pink glazed incense burner on the Duobao Pavilion.
"The princess has arrived."
After hearing these three words, Concubine Zhu looked at her clothes, Concubine Li adjusted her hairpin, and the three ladies each tidied up their appearance, trying to make themselves more perfect.
As Jiuli sat down, all the female relatives who were qualified to pay their respects stood up one after another and bowed with the help of their maids.
"No need to be so polite." Jiuli sat in the first seat and raised her hand slightly.
"Thank you for your consideration, Princess."
They said this in unison and sat down.
Jiuli's eyes swept over the women. This King Jing was truly a blessed man. The women who were sitting down also looked at the princess at the seat above them without leaving any trace, and they felt an even greater sense of crisis in their hearts.
She is extremely beautiful with a fairy-like appearance and a good family background. Such a mistress is simply a nightmare for concubines. They are fighting for the same little bit of rain and dew. Isn't the princess the same?
Concubine Zhu is dignified and elegant, Concubine Li is charming and bright, Madam Qi is pure and graceful, Madam Song is a beautiful girl from a petite family, and Madam Miao is pitiful. They all have their own merits.
"Today is the first time you pay your respects. This princess doesn't like crowds. From now on, you can just pay your respects once on the first and fifteenth day of every month." Jiuli glanced at Anxiang, who retreated in response.
"Yes." Concubine Zhu lowered her eyebrows. It seemed that this princess was easy to talk to. "This is the account book that I was in charge of before. Please accept it." In this case, she had to show some sincerity.
Seeing that Jiuli did not refuse, Yingxiu stepped forward and took it.
"I won't say much more, just do your duty." Jiuli said as he looked at Mrs. Miao who was holding her stomach.
Mr. Miao was at a loss as to what to do, feeling uneasy and terrified.
"You don't have to come out now that you're pregnant. The weather in March is still a bit cold," Jiuli continued, signaling with her eyes, "This is the dowry that His Majesty gave me when I got married."
Behind Anxiang, a maid came out carrying a tray. Concubine Zhu was wearing a complete set of gold-inlaid coral headdress, Concubine Li was wearing a pair of pink tourmaline hairpins, and Madam Qi, Madam Song, and Madam Miao were wearing gold-inlaid agate bracelets.
Considering that Concubine Li and Madam Song had another daughter, she also added a box of pearls and two pure gold bracelets.
Concubine Li did not hide her love for it and couldn't let it go. If she hadn't been worried that it was not her own courtyard, she could have worn it directly on her head and looked at Jiuli with sparkling eyes.
"I like the pair of hairpins your princess wears very much. Can I come to bother your princess often in the future?" Concubine Li said innocently.
"Of course not." Jiuli glanced at him and retracted her gaze, "This princess has something else to do, you guys leave first."
Concubine Li's face visibly fell.
"I'll take my leave." Concubine Zhu withdrew with a few people.
