The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

"Ah?" Situ Meng was taken aback when he heard that, then looked at the Empress Dowager, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, the current draft can still bring maids into the palace together? Is this a new rule added this year? In the future Are they all implemented according to this new standard?"

Unexpectedly, no matter whether it is the empress dowager or the lady of the Jing'an mansion, after hearing Situ Meng's question, they were all taken aback, and then their faces became a little ugly.

Although the Empress Dowager tried her best to avoid this question, she looked at Situ Meng who was full of curiosity, and thought that this matter must be unstoppable, so she explained with a gloomy face:

"No! The rules of the draft are the same as before! Moreover, the Ai family has issued a decree that any show girls are not allowed to go to the Chuxiu Palace before the palace selection, and all concubines are also forbidden to summon or go to the Chuxiu Palace to contact these showgirls in advance! "

"Then this?" Situ Meng's eyes turned to Rong Jing, and the meaning of the question was very clear.

"Rong Jing is not the show girl who participated in this election!" The empress dowager finally said it out, but her tone was not so good, and there was a bit of anger in her voice, and said:

"The emperor's decree was too hasty this time, and he didn't discuss it with the Ai family in advance! The draft is a major move related to the foundation of a country, how can it be so hasty!

Moreover, since only daughters of marquises and third-rank officials are eligible to participate, then they should not let go of the king with a different surname. Why can the daughters and granddaughters of the Wang family with a different surname be able to participate!This is simply breaking the rules of the draft! "

Speaking of the excitement, the empress dowager immediately jumped up and said angrily: "Although Rong Jing's biological mother is just a maid, she has been adopted by Mrs. Jing'an since she was born. Chess, calligraphy and painting are female celebrities, housekeepers, etc., and even have a good hand at cooking!

The Duke of Jing’an’s mansion has long ago carefully cultivated her as a young lady from the heirloom, but because of such a rule, such a good girl like her has been kept out of the draft. , Little girls who lack education, are all arrogant and domineering, I don't know what it means, why are they eligible to participate? "

The empress dowager became more and more angry as she talked, and she looked at Situ Meng with burning eyes and said: "Xiao Shiwu, you have done a good job in Jiangnan for more than a year. Whether you are the emperor or the emperor, you are all praised! Both inside and outside the court Your evaluation is also very high, but because of this, their little screwdrivers are all eyeing you as a sweet pastry. They are all the stuff, and they want to marry into your house!

Now that the story has come to this point, the empress mother will no longer go around in circles. This Rong Jing was selected by the empress mother for you, and she is the most suitable candidate to become the concubine of the loyal prince!

In terms of family affairs, your uncle Jing'an is a first-class Duke, and he can give you a lot of help in the court. In terms of ability, Rong Jing is the wife of Jing'an who has devoted fifteen years of hard work and meticulous care. The master mistress who has been trained will definitely help you keep everything in the inner courtyard of the palace in order! "

"Hehe..." Situ Meng smiled, and didn't answer at all, but asked instead:

"I'm afraid the empress dowager has forgotten it? I'm not single, I already have a marriage contract! A few years ago, the emperor had already ordered marriage! My concubine is the granddaughter of Marquis Tai'an and the daughter of Marquis Lin." , Lin Ruhai's biological sister, the only young lady of the Lin family!"

"Hmph!" The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, her brows stood on end, and she scolded angrily, "Don't mention that Miss Lin family to me! It turned out that the Ai family reluctantly agreed because he saved your life!

Because she lost her father and mother when she was young, in order to make up for the five non-marriage claims, Aijia gave her the most powerful Bamboo Nanny around her, and let Bamboo Nanny teach her how to be a qualified mistress , be your good wife!But what about her, what has she done all these years?

Nanny Bazhu was still in the Lin Mansion, but she ran to live in another courtyard in the suburbs, and she didn't know what she was doing all day long!He only goes back to the mansion for a few days every month without talking about it, and even dismisses the important things taught by Madam Zhu, and even ignores all of Madam Zhu's earnest teachings!

Before, it was only because she wanted to follow her elder brother to the south to become an official, but she encouraged you to go to the emperor to mess around. Your emperor's brother loved you too much, so she gave you the title of imperial envoy. In fact, she did not acquiesce You go south with her!

Not to mention, look at this year, how many times have you encountered danger!Do you think that if you don't write to Aijia, Aijia won't know about it?How cunning and rampant those private salt dealers are, you dare to rush up and wipe them out with so few guards!Thank goodness, you are finally uninjured and came back safe and sound!

Do you dare to say that the girl surnamed Lin instigated all of these?She picks you up to fight those private salt dealers, punish those magistrates, and it's not all because of his brother's inspection of the salt censor!you you!I was completely obsessed by that vixen ghost!

All these things she has done are just using your identity to make profits for his Lin family!I think what those people said before is not wrong. She is a lone star of the gods, and she has already suppressed her father and mother, and even her brother and sister-in-law have been suppressed by her and have never had children?

She has only been separated from her brother and sister-in-law for a year, and Master Lin is happy with her daughter. Although she is not a son, she is still better than the emptiness under her knees! "

The more the empress dowager talked, the more she felt that this was the case. Before, she only wanted to make her niece a side concubine, but as she talked, she felt more and more that Lin Tian was really not good enough for her. My son will only bring danger and disaster to Situ Meng.

For the benefit of her natal Jing'an government, and Situ Meng's future considerations, the Empress Dowager felt that the imperial decree between Situ Meng and Lin Tian should also be eliminated in a way.

Just when the empress dowager became more and more excited, as if all this had been carried out according to her idea, she didn't realize that not only the eyes of Situ Meng looking at her became colder and colder, without the slightest warmth, even the heart in her heart Rong Jing, who was the most suitable candidate for Princess Situ Meng, had the corners of her mouth drooping slightly, and at the same time lowered her head, hiding her disdainful expression.

"Xiao Shiwu, don't worry, the Ai family will help you to make it clear to the Supreme Emperor! The girl from the Lin family must never be your concubine! If you still miss the life-saving grace of the year, then leave her a The side concubine's position is as high as the sky!"

The empress dowager said Lin Tian, ​​with an angry expression on her face, and said: "What did she do when she was in Yangzhou mansion before! Don't think that you are helping her to cover up, the Ai family will not know! As a lady of everyone, a little The son is gentle and virtuous, not to mention, and every now and then he instructs the girl to throw people out, or directly whips people!

Or whip a court official!If you hadn't been there to deal with her aftermath, I'm afraid she would have been sent to prison by now!With such a temperament, how can you help you handle the relationship with other ministers and nobles of the family!

If you really marry her as the princess, I'm afraid you, Prince Zhongshun, will stop dealing with everyone inside and outside the court in the future!Because everyone was offended by her to death!

What's more, she doesn't have the power to tolerate people at all. Aijia heard that the woman she threw out was because she had some relationship with you.It's not over yet, it's already so arrogant, if you marry side concubine and concubine concubine in the future, she will turn upside down and the house will be restless!

Little fifteen, son!Listen to Ai's family's persuasion, that girl from the Lin family is really not suitable to be your concubine!Aijia told you that these are all for your own good!The royal family absolutely cannot tolerate the seeds of infatuation!Three wives and four concubines, it's justified to do more for the royal family! "

"Empress Dowager, have you finished?" Situ Meng looked at the Empress Dowager who had been chattering for a long time, and finally interjected when she paused for a while.

"Son, the Ai family has told you so much, didn't you listen to a single word!" The Empress Dowager looked at the expressionless Situ Meng, and knew that what she said just now had been ignored by him, so He could only shake his head helplessly, and continued:

"Forget it, the Ai family won't force you, so how about it! The Lin family girl will still be your main concubine, but you want to marry Rong Jing as the side concubine. From now on, all the affairs in the palace will be handed over to Rong Jing! Then the Lin family girl Don't you like to wield knives and guns? Just let her do what she likes! She is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the palace!"

"Hehe..." Situ Meng sneered, and asked back: "Empress Dowager, are you trying to take over my concubine, completely control my palace, and treat me like a puppet in your hands?"

"What do you call that! The Ai family did this for your own good!" The Empress Dowager pointed at Situ Meng with trembling fingers, and angrily said:

"You really can't help your mother! You have become like this before this daughter-in-law! If I knew this, I wouldn't have agreed with the emperor to ask you to learn kung fu with her! How did you learn this kung fu?" The Ai family doesn't know, but this filial piety has been completely forgotten by you, what a misfortune of the family! Misfortune of the family! Woooooooooo..."

When the Empress Dowager said this, she actually took out her handkerchief and began to cry in a low voice. For a moment, everyone in the hall looked at Situ Meng with condemning eyes.

However, Situ Meng didn't show any emotion at all, and the expression on his face didn't change at all, but his lips curled up slightly in a small arc, as if he was watching a play from outside.

This kind of reaction was really beyond the Queen Mother's expectations. After crying for a while, she found that no one answered the conversation at all, so she stopped slowly, using those red and swollen eyes, with a bit of a smile on her face. He looked at Situ Meng condemningly, and said angrily: "Situ Meng! Are you really going to disobey the Ai family! Even a side concubine refuses to listen to the arrangement of the Ai family!"

"Hehe..." Situ Meng chuckled, and said, "The empress dowager! I've seen this kind of drama since I was a child! Why do you let me review it again! Those concubines of the Supreme Emperor are more dedicated than you At least, they can cry whenever they want, and they don't need the handkerchief touched with ginger juice to help!

If the so-called filial piety you said means that your son should listen to you in everything, as long as you don't listen, it is unfilial!Well, I don’t know if Brother Huang goes to court every day to deal with major national affairs, does he have to report everything to you and get your nod before he can carry it out?Otherwise it is also unfilial! "

Situ Meng saw the empress dowager's stiff expression, and continued with a bit of sarcasm:

"I will explain my affairs to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, so I won't bother the Empress Dowager! Anyway, you have never cared about me since I was a child, and it was the emperor who dragged me up with shit and piss! Besides, the Empress Dowager is a role model for women all over the world! Do you remember these three obediences and four virtues? Obey the father at home, obey the husband when married, and obey the son when the husband dies!"

After finishing speaking, Situ Meng walked straight away.
