I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law

During the Dragon Boat Festival, calamus was all over the street, and door gods and colorful symbols were posted everywhere.

Mu Mingtang was dressed in the mansion, and after breakfast, he went out leisurely when the sun had risen to mid-air.

Although Jinming Lake is open to the public these days, Huxin Island is still a restricted area. After Mu Mingtang’s frame arrived at Jinmingchi, there was another special passage for them to pass, so there was no need to go to the front and crowd with the people. There are crowds of people on the festival street, but all this has nothing to do with them.

After the royal palace carriage came to the lake, the guards showed the royal palace badge to the imperial guards, and the imperial guards in charge of guards waved to the back to signal to let them go.

The people who were stopped on the other side saw it from a distance, and they all talked: "Which family is this? Just now, the wife of the Hou Mansion got off the car and walked. Which family is she from, so she doesn't even need to get off the car? "

The class of princes is too far away for the citizens, and they are rarely seen as officials, let alone the existence of princes and generals who only live in legends. The emperor opened the Forbidden Garden on Dragon Boat Festival this year. This is a rare occasion for the people to see the real upper-class figures in Tokyo. Everyone is enthusiastic. Every time a carriage passes, it will be discussed for a long time.

In fact, none of them have come into contact with these golden princes, and everything they say is just hearsay plus their own imagination, but this is the case, they can't stop the enthusiasm of the people.

A well-informed and keen gossip guy stretched his neck and looked at it, and said loudly, "Don't you need to get out of the car, otherwise, who do you think it was just past?"

As soon as he said this, the eyes of many people around were attracted: "Who is it?"

"That's the car of Prince An's mansion! How can Prince An's mansion be the same as the ordinary prince's mansion?"

In fact, for ordinary people, Gongfu Houfu is the same place as Tiangong. However, the lack of access does not prevent them from taking advantage of this to boast. Someone was curious and asked the person who had just spoken: "Whether the An Wang Mansion you were talking about was the Wang Mansion the other day?"

"Yes, it is him." The man was proud of seeing everyone around him looking at him, and he showed off more and more, "Our house is in Shenli Lane, not far from Zhuque Street. People came out to buy seasonal vegetables. The signs on those people were exactly the same as those on the carriage just now."

Everyone was amazed, it turned out to be the Ancestral House. No one knows the name of Prince An’s mansion today, and the Begonia on Suzaku Street is still open.

"It turned out to be the female family member of Prince An's mansion. No wonder you don't need to get off the bus. Although the daughters of the princes and wives in front are expensive, how can they be compared with Princess An."

"The carriage just now is high-minded, surrounded by maidservants. Could it be Princess Ann's carriage?"

This sentence caused quite a stir among the crowd. Everyone scrambled their necks and looked around, hoping to see some clues from the end of the water. It's a pity that except for the crowded heads and the shining sunlight, nothing can be seen.

At this moment, Mu Mingtang got out of the car with the support of the maid. As soon as she stood firm, the **** greeted her from the Shuixin Temple, and said hello: "The slave greets King An, and Princess An. The two masters are years of age, and the five poisons are not invaded. go."

Mu Mingtang said with great effort, and walked inside with the eunuch. She and Xie Xuanchen were going on different occasions. Xie Xuanchen took her to the door and watched her enter the door with his own eyes before turning to the place where the men met.

There are differences between men and women, and the emperor, Baiguan and Bei Rong envoys held a banquet in another place.

The Water Heart Hall is built in the center of Jinming Pool, three stories high, with pavilions, terraces and pavilions connected by a corridor, which is very magnificent. The dragon boat bidding has not yet begun, and the female family members are scattered around the pavilion, or sitting in front of the wind to enjoy the scenery, or sitting and talking, all are very relaxed. As Mu Mingtang walked along, people who saw her stood up to say hello.

As Mu Mingtang does not need to respond one by one, she smiled and nodded, and she was already extremely easygoing. Mu Mingtang walked all the way to the third floor. Sure enough, in the top compartment with the best viewing angle, the Queen Mother and the others were resting inside.

Now that the dragon boat hasn't started, the queen and the queen mother can never wait outside, there must be a special lounge. Favorable and close female relatives brought the junior to show their faces in front of the ladies, and they were already incredibly decent. The queen and the others were listening to the jokes of the officials’ wives when they suddenly heard the maid outside telling them: "Princess An is here."

The voice in the room couldn't help but stop. The queen's face still had a cordial and generous expression of the mother of the country, but the smile in her eyes dissipated like a low tide: "It turns out that Princess An is here, and the queen mother is just talking about it. Wouldn't you please?"

The palace lady promised, and after a while, a silver-purple figure entered through the curtain.

The breathing of the concubines, maids and maids all over the house paused as she entered the door.

Mu Mingtang is wearing a white upper undershirt with a purple dress around his waist. I don't know what material this skirt is made of. The skirt is gradually enlarged, and there is a faint gleam of silver light. When I walk around, it looks like the moon splashes against the Milky Way, and the stars flicker.

Mu Mingtang wore a large-sleeved shirt with the same color on the outside, which was slightly lighter than the skirt. Her hair is properly twirled, and there are not many accessories. The most eye-catching thing is a crystal-encrusted gemstone, which is inserted diagonally between the temples of the clouds, with a few fine purple crystals underneath, which is light in the ear. Shaking lightly.

When Mu Mingtang stood quietly in front of the crowd, it was as if the Milky Way in the sky was pouring down on her, cutting the galaxy into clothes, embellished with the sun and the moon, gentle and shining.

All the pampered imperial concubines and official wives are all sore, what kind of fabric is this, why haven't they seen it?

Originally today, every lady and young lady went out after being well-dressed, no matter what they said, no one wanted to show off on such a big occasion. Before Mu Mingtang came in, they kept comparing secretly. The imperial concubine was satisfied that she was charming and charming, the queen was satisfied that she was noble and graceful, and the ladies who came to please Ann were also satisfied that they were beautiful and charming today, and would not steal the limelight from all the ladies. , And let people shine.

But when Mu Mingtang walked in, all the women's good moods collapsed. Not to mention, just the fabric on Mu Mingtang's skirt, they can guarantee that they have never seen it on the market.

The atmosphere was sluggish for a while, and finally the queen could afford to put it down, and smiled: "Princess An is really beautiful today. My palace originally thought that I had been accustomed to seeing beauties in the harem these years, but I did not expect to see Princess An today. , I know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. I am not willing to blink when I see it, let alone Wang An."

The queen gave her hatred as soon as she opened her mouth. Mu Mingtang ignored the queen’s stubble, only smiled and said, “I don’t dare to be a queen. The empress is the real beauty of the country, and I’m just a firefly. No matter how the fire is, how can it be compared to the empress?"

"If you are the Radiance of Firefly, I am afraid there will be no beauty in the world." The queen smiled and said, "You are not welcome, Princess An, sit down."

After Mu Mingtang came in, everyone except the Queen Mother stood up. Now the queen spoke, the wife who was sitting in the first seat quickly backed away and smiled at Mu Mingtang: "Please, Princess An."

Mu Mingtang was also not welcome, and generously took the first place. After she sat down, the others moved one place back, and everyone sat down again.

It turned out that standing is enough to attract attention. After sitting down this time, Mu Mingtang's long skirts are stacked on the floor, and the fine crystal light in the skirt folds spread out like flowing water, more like a milky way. The ladies on both sides, including the queen mother above, couldn't help but look at her.

A lady couldn't help asking: "Princess An, your skirt is strange. I don't know what fabric it is made of. Why have I never seen it before?"

Hearing his wife's question, Mu Mingtang glanced down at the long skirt on his lap, as if he didn't expect why they would ask like that. Despite the accident, Mu Mingtang did his best to solve the puzzle: "I don't know the name of the fabric, I haven't thought about it. Some time ago, the people at Silk Village said that they found many golden spiders in the countryside, and the silk spit out was tough and shiny. , Xing permits to weave cloth. It’s a pity that the golden spiders are all wild, and the silk is very limited. I let them mix the silk with the silk and try to weave a piece, but the effect is not expected to be good, but then mixed with gold and silver threads. , Made a skirt."

Everyone was speechless when they heard it, it was actually spider silk? Wild spiders are not like silkworms. How much silk can they spit out, and they cannot be farmed, so they can only be picked in the wild. Gold and silver threads are probably cheap in front of this kind of spider silk.

They didn't even dare to think of a skirt of such a cost.

It is not that the husbands and wives who are here can not get the money, but it is too much to use it on a skirt. The gate of Gonghou's mansion was already not low, and the other ladies heard it was made of spider silk mixed with silk, but they immediately dismissed their thoughts and didn't even think about it.

Those who can afford it, such as queens and concubines, are scrupulous about their names; those that are not stared at by the supervisor can't stand it. That is, Mu Mingtang can afford to wear such sky-high prices.

Many people present went from hope to disappointment, knowing that they couldn't follow the example, so they could only watch Mu Mingtang's Xinghe skirt with eye addiction. A newly promoted concubine, mixed with jealousy, said sourly: "Wang Princess An is really extravagant. This is the first time I have seen such a dress."

In private, many people have said that Prince An's Mansion is extravagant, but it is different from behind the scenes and putting it on the table. After the concubine's words were finished, the atmosphere in the room was quiet. The queen mother who hadn't spoken since just now didn't rush, and suddenly said: "King An was a big-handed man before, and now there is no elders in charge. But the purpose of marrying a wife is to manage the family business, to support the husband and the children. The Erlang family does not know that the money is difficult, so Princess Ann will not persuade him?"

After the queen mother finished speaking, everyone in the room was quiet. They also don’t know why the queen dowager suddenly attacked Princess An, but these two are the queen dowagers at the top of the palace, and the other is the prosperous Princess An. Everyone dare not offend them, and they are all chilling at the moment. It was accidentally involved in the dispute between the Queen Mother and Princess An.

In particular, the queen mother was the outer room where the first emperor Xie Yi later helped the body, and Mu Mingtang was the wife of Xie Yi's only son Xie Xuanchen.

In a sense, Queen Mother Lu can also be regarded as Mu Mingtang's mother-in-law.

Naturally, this mother-in-law Xie Xuanchen didn't recognize it anyway. Not only did Xie Xuanchen deny it, but even the Queen Mother Lu dared not put her mother's score in front of Xie Xuanchen.

When Xie Yi and Guo Ronggang had an objection, they stayed in Yecheng, wondering whether they should return to Beijing. Emperor Gong of the later Jin Dynasty realized that it was wrong and angrily killed all the family members of Guo Xie's family. Guo Rong and Xie Yi were out on the expedition, so naturally it was impossible to move the house together. Their wives, family and children stayed in the capital. When the two of them later showed disapproval, the family members who stayed in the capital suffered.

Of the hundreds of people in the two provinces, none of them survived. Xie Xuanchen was only fifteen years old at the time. Xie Yi and Guo Rong didn't want to take him on the expedition, so he secretly followed the army. After the Beijing Incident, Xie Xuanchen just escaped.

But Xie Xuanchen's mother, Xie Yizheng's wife, Mrs. Yin, died in that accident.

Both Xie Xuanchen and Xie Yi were greatly stimulated by the death of Mrs. Yin. Later, Xie Yi had no intention of marrying again after returning to Beijing. After persuasion by others, there was always a housekeeper, Zhang Luo, who had family affairs in the house.

Lu Shi was the outer room set up by Xie Yi when he was stationing troops abroad. After Xie Yi withdrew his troops, Lu Shi got a fortune and was left there. He did not follow him back to Beijing and did not enter Xie's house at all. Although it was not stated clearly at the time, according to the default secular rules, Lu's concubine was considered free.

Who knows that after the Beijing Incident, the decent heroine of the Xie Mansion died unexpectedly, but Lu's staying in the field, no one knew about it, but survived. After this time, Xie Yi remembered that there was Lu's person, who also came to run from this time, and was taken to Beijing to take charge of internal affairs.

Later, Xie Yi ascended the throne and named Mrs. Yin as queen. At the beginning, Lu was only given the title of a concubine. Immediately after Xie Yi also died, Lu was not recognized during Xie Yi's death, but Xie Yi enjoyed great honor after his death, and Xie Ruizun was the only empress dowager.

Even though the Empress Dowager Lu was originally from an indecent background, she has now changed her appearance and became the supreme woman of the Ye Dynasty, the first emperor and empress, Wei is really a model of counterattack. No one dared not give face to the queen mother, only Xie Xuanchen was disgusted and not light, and never gave the passing queen a face.

However, there is only one Xie Xuanchen in the world. What Xie Xuanchen can do, others cannot. In particular, Mu Mingtang is a daughter-in-law, and he is very embarrassed to stand in the outer room where his father's father is righting, and his husband's daughter.

Jiang Mingwei had been sitting beside the queen, hearing the words of the queen mother to Mu Mingtang, she unexpectedly gave birth to a kind of late pleasure.

She said, everyone is a daughter-in-law for others, so why can Mu Mingtang live so smoothly while she is struggling? Jiang Mingwei has already been stuffed by the queen, but Mu Mingtang doesn't even have to wake up early to greet her in-laws.

Jiang Mingwei also knew that the queen was critical of her because she was the queen's decent daughter-in-law, and Mu Mingtang was just the nephew of the next room. The room is like a mountain, so the queen can just kill and never teach.

Understand and understand, but every day watching such a person living next door compares herself with herself, Jiang Mingwei is also bad enough. Today can be counted, Jiang Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief, and a distorted sense of pleasure surged in her heart.

The queen doesn't care about Mu Mingtang, but the queen mother can. The words of the Queen Mother just now are no longer light, almost clearly reprimanding Mu Mingtang for extravagance and profligacy. Being said by the stepmother in front of so many people is a permanent laughing stock for any woman.

Jiang Mingwei looked at Mu Mingtang expectantly, planning to appreciate Mu Mingtang's embarrassment.

Everyone was silent, but many people's eyes fell on Mu Mingtang, with a subtle sense of watching the show. Mu Mingtang felt it, calmed down, and said, "The empress dowager has misunderstood. Our palace is not a big deal, but a way of making money. Although Wang's residence is expensive, the daily income is also large. Since the wealth has been increasing, why should I be wronged? Do you forcibly live a life of poverty? What's more, the prince has been used to spending money like this since he was a child. If I change rashly, I am afraid that the prince will be wronged."

Mu Mingtang's intention was to explain, but after speaking, other people's expressions became more ugly. They originally thought that An Wang and his wife had a wealthy family and splurge at will. As a result, Mu Mingtang said that in fact, their daily income was greater. Don't look at Mu Mingtang and his wife spending more money, in fact they earn more?

Sure enough, it was even more uncomfortable. Why should I tell them these things? It is better not to explain. Everyone had a shocked expression, and even the queen's face changed slightly.

The queen immediately remembered that some time ago, they had given Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang a lot of rewards to build fame. Basically, it was how much Mu Mingtang spent, and they filled in as much money as they needed. The emperor had a private bank. Fortunately, the queen and the queen mother really gave a lot of blood. Rao is the queen, and even thinking about it afterwards still feels distressed.

When Mu Mingtang said this, the Queen realized that, yes, what a skirt is, compared with the bottomless hole she rewarded Mu Mingtang, the cost of this skirt is nothing. If someone in Wangan's Mansion is good at business and puts the money back into the market to let the money go, the profit that can be obtained is indeed very considerable.

The queen knew that Xie Xuanchen was not a manager, but I heard that Mu Mingtang had a good investment outlook.

After all, Mu Mingtang grew up in a merchant, and his ancestors have been in business for several generations. Before the accident in Xiangyang, their family's antiques business had already opened up throughout the city of Xiangyang. The most important thing for an antique maker is to be bold and careful, to have a poisonous vision, and to make decisions quickly.

Mu Mingtang grew up in this environment when he was young. Compared with the official lady who sings the wind and sings the moon and despises the yellow and white things, his business ability is undoubtedly a class. And Xie Xuanchen had enough principal and sufficient deterrence to let her try and make mistakes.

The queen was a little bit convinced that the two couples looked like a prodigal, but the daily income was much greater than the cost.

The queen seemed to know her. Now that Mu Mingtang speaks more and more the true story of Xie Xuanchen, although everyone was so lavish and extravagant, they all carried a subtle sense of superiority in their hearts. Sitting and eating in the sky, Tianda's family business can't stand the constant defeat. Mu Mingtang spends money uncontrollably like this, there are always times when she can't cry.

But Mu Mingtang explained to everyone very seriously that although she spends more, she can earn more. The assets of King An’s Mansion have been increasing, and Mu Mingtang spent only the extra part of the gain.

It was just toothache, but now everyone feels despair.

Murder and condemnation, these two people really deserve to be married.
