Chapter 114: Lady Pingguo's wishful thinking
Madam Pingguo...
Even if no one introduced her identity, wasn't she just wishing the old lady a happy birthday? And this girl was sitting right next to her, how could she not hear who she was?
The wife of Duke Pingguo frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
Xu Wan heard this not far away and hurried over, saying with a smile: "Tang'er just returned to the capital and doesn't know many people yet. This is the wife of Duke Ping."
Yun Tang then showed a look of realization and said, "So it's the wife of Duke Ping. I heard from my father that Duke Ping's mansion, your prince and Jiang Yingxue have been engaged since childhood, so the two families are in-laws."
"I am returning to the Marquis' Mansion to attend the family recognition banquet. Thank you for the gift from the Duke of Ping's Mansion." Yun Tang said politely again.
However, these words gave people a weird feeling, as if Yuntang was talking to the wife of Duke Pingguo as if they were peers.
When Lady Pingguo heard that Yuntang knew about the marriage between the two families, the smile on her face brightened a little.
But some things are hard to say here, so I said: "Our two families are old friends. I caught a cold during the family recognition banquet and couldn't leave the house, otherwise I would have come to see you a long time ago."
"Tang'er, now that you're back, you must come to our house more often. We are close friends, otherwise we will be far away."
"Madam Pingguo is joking." Yun Tang said in a calm voice.
"Oh, it's so strange to call you Madam, just call her aunt." Lady Pingguo saw that although Yuntang's attitude was cold, her temperament was noble and dignified. The more she looked at her, the more satisfied she was, and she smiled.
Princess Kangning said that her daughter had just returned from outside and had grown up in a Taoist temple. She did not follow any of the rules of a wealthy family. She had a rather wild personality and loved to run around in Taoist robes.
Although she was not wearing a Taoist robe, she was dressed as a teenager, which still could not conceal her bright and beautiful face. If she dressed up properly, she would be more beautiful than Jiang Yingxue.
People outside don’t know that Princess Corning’s two daughters are one her biological daughter and one adopted.
Princess Kangning told her the secret, saying that it was not good to hide such things from her, and let her decide for herself who to marry in the future.
She also said that her other daughter was also going to get married, and asked her not to tell the secret to anyone, as she loved both daughters.
She didn't get to see the real daughter at the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion that day, but unexpectedly she saw her at the Weiguo Duke's Mansion, so she couldn't help wanting to get close to her.
She is a real daughter and is favored by the emperor. Now it seems that she has a good relationship in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. At least she is loved by the old lady.
If this girl marries her Yu'er, it will be a great help to their Duke Ping's Mansion in the future.
Lady Pingguo was making her wishful thinking in her heart when she heard Yuntang say loudly:
"The wife of the Duke of Wei is my aunt, and the wife of the Duke of Wei's son is my sister-in-law. I wonder what the relationship between the wife of the Duke of Ping and the Duke of Wei's mansion is?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly fell silent. The wife of Duke Pingguo also changed her expression slightly. She stared at Yuntang in a daze and was speechless for a moment.
When noble families interact with each other, except for those who are already relatives, they usually address each other as Madam.
But who doesn't know that the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion has four generations living together, but it was only this year that the crown prince inherited the title. Has old man Lin, who has been the Duke for his entire life, finally stepped down?
The birthday lady sitting on the throne was the wife of Duke Weiguo before she stepped down this year. However, she has long been considered an old lady in the palace, and her great-grandson can even find a husband.
This lady, who just became the Duke's wife this year, also celebrated her 55th birthday.
She just took good care of herself and looked like she was less than fifty years old. Therefore, she and the forty-year-old Lady of Duke Ping looked like sisters.
But appearance is one thing and age is another.
Although Lady Pingguo of the Duke of Weiguo was on good terms with Lady Weiguo of the Duke of Pingguo, she did not dare to really call her "sister" because she was fifteen years older and a few months older than her.
If she asked Yuntang to call her aunt, wouldn't that mean she was trying to establish a sisterly relationship with the wife of Duke Weiguo?
The current Crown Prince's wife, Song Mingzhu, is in her early thirties and can call her "sister". However, she is the Crown Prince's wife and she would not rush to call her, a Duke's wife, sister.
This kind of friendship between non-boudoir sisters also tacitly abides by the rules of the aristocratic family and will not force such a relationship. However, they will often get together to talk about family matters on weekdays, and become very familiar with each other at the New Year banquets.
But all friendships would become embarrassing in the face of Yuntang's straightforward relationship ranking.
Xu Wan wanted to smooth things over but didn't know how to help. She felt embarrassed and even more confused.
Xu Wan is the wife of Yun Xuanyuan's younger brother Lin Huai. She comes from a noble family of Hanlin Academy and has never seen such an embarrassing scene.
It's not that she couldn't say something to resolve the situation, but the topic was started by the wife of Duke Ping, and Yuntang didn't give her any face, leaving her in an embarrassing position.
She and the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion would only help Yuntang and would not say that Yuntang was rude.
The atmosphere was tense for a while before Lady Pingguo recovered and said unhappily:
"You are the child of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. Your mother and I are like sisters. Is it unfair for you to be asked to call me aunt?"
"I am not wronged, but my fellow apprentices are wronged. You took advantage of me for nothing!"
Yuntang smiled slightly, his voice was light and calm, but the words he said were full of tension.
"Xiao Tang'er, who wants to take advantage of me?" Suddenly, a clear voice came from the door of the hall, asking with a smile.
Yun Tang looked up and saw his third, fifth, sixth and seventh senior brothers walking in, followed by four princesses.
Princess Mingyue never left the palace again.
The Crown Prince and the King of Qi were obviously not free, as they were handling state affairs in the imperial study.
Xiao Ye, Xiao Jian, and Xiao Hong should not have finished school yet.
Yuntang stood up and saluted to his fellow brothers, but did not speak immediately.
Xiao Beichen didn't keep dwelling on this issue.
Instead, he clasped his fists and bowed to the old lady who had just stood up from the seat at the top, and said with a smile, "Grandma Lin, we are here to celebrate your birthday!"
Ever since Xiao Beichen showed up, all the ladies sitting in the hall, no matter which family they were from, stood up, saluted somewhat stiffly, and then tactfully retreated out.
With so many people coming at once, the hall seems a bit crowded.
Although they had not yet finished watching the unpleasantness between the daughter of the Yong'an Marquis and the wife of the Duke of Ping, they could only withdraw first, or would rather go somewhere else for a walk, for fear of getting into trouble.
When Lady Pingguo of the Duke of Pingguo saw the emperor arriving, she naturally did not dare to act rashly. She bowed and left with the crowd.
The hall became spacious again.
The old lady signaled Xiao Beichen to stop being polite and stop bothering her, and then complained, "Look at you, you scared away all the excitement as soon as you came."
Xiao Beichen touched his face and said with a deliberately aggrieved expression:
"Am I that scary? Back then, Lao Wu and I were quite popular among the girls in Qingfeng Mountain."
Talking about the past, Yun Xuanyuan rolled his eyes at him unhappily, walked forward to help his grandmother sit back down.
Yun Xuanying and Yun Xuanyu also came forward to celebrate the birthday and presented birthday gifts.
Xiao Beichen also presented a gift as a junior, not as a reward from the emperor.
The four princesses also came forward to wish him a happy birthday, and then went to talk to the old lady.
Xiao Beichen looked at Yun Tang who was standing beside him: "Just now..."
