One two zero marriage after (four)

  "Miss, you... what did you say? Want to sleep? But..." Qing Xiang looked at Jiu Jie in surprise, who was leaning on the chair with a listless expression.

  "What's wrong, won't work?" Jiujie furrowed her brow.

  She felt a strong desire to stretch her body and lie down after sleeping in the carriage, as she was experiencing severe back pain.

  "How can it not be okay?" Cuijiao glanced at Jiuniang and immediately said, "Today, the young lady has been recognizing relatives and entering the palace, she must be exhausted, so naturally she should rest for a while."

  The green apricot was dumbfounded, staring at one pair of big eyes looking at this and that, with a face full of bitter puzzlement.

  "What are you worried about, those women in the backyard? Don't worry, to be honest, they're not slaves either. In this house, only one person is the master..." She looked at her like that, and Cuijiao couldn't help but shake her head and say.

  "Cui Qiao, go help me make the bed!" But before Cui Qiao could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Jiu Jie'er, who was yawning and waving her hand.

  Although this clever and resourceful girl did grasp the spirit, these words still sound somewhat unpleasant to the ears of a modern person with an equal and broad-minded consciousness.

  Cui Qiao went in response to the voice.

  Jiuer changed her expression from being dispirited earlier and became spirited, smiling as she beckoned to Qing An with a wave of her hand.

  Qing Xiang glanced at her and then walked over.

  "Green apricot, do you understand? Maybe I really saw them lightly and easily, but it didn't turn out well." Only then did Jiu pull her away.

  Qing Xing was taken aback.

  "This is not the Wen family, and I am no longer that little girl... Uh, of course, it's not like I became arrogant and domineering overnight just because I married into the royal family. It's just that my status requires me to stand firm in this palace, you can't just be humble and obedient to get by, do you understand, Qing Xiang?"

  Upon hearing her words, Qing An was stunned again, then nodded vigorously.

  "Qing Xiang, after all these years, I'd rather say we're sisters than master and servant. Can't it always be like this?" Jiujie'er said softly after a moment of silence.

  Her words made Qing An pause again, looking at her, and after meeting her clear and sincere eyes, she first reddened her eyes, then nodded vigorously again.

  Looking at her, Jiu Si Er smiled.

  She couldn't help but notice that this delicate and meticulous little girl had been visibly disheartened since Cui Cui came to serve her in her room.

  Cui Qiao is not the green bamboo of those years, but she can fight back and slap her face, because Cui Qiao represents the third madam, so the little girl can only accumulate it inside.

  And Cui Qiao's actions are even more agile and elegant than Qing Ci, it can be said that she has completely replaced her, how could this little girl not feel resentful.

  It's obvious that it's obvious, but in these few days, as the protagonist of this grand wedding - she was busy and didn't have the mood to explain to her.

  Now is also a good opportunity, so I naturally want to communicate with her properly.

  "Don't worry, miss! I'll study hard with Cuiqiao sister!" At this time, the maid, who was immediately filled with confidence due to her encouragement, firmly promised her.

  She smiled again and patted her hand, "Alright, help me in!"

  "Hmm!" Qing Xing helped her up, and then the two of them walked together into the inner room.

  The western sun shines on the vermilion pillars of the fourth room in the west wing of Weiyuan Wangfu, reflecting dazzling light, which is breathtakingly beautiful.

  However, the women sitting inside at this moment had no appreciation in their minds, and their urgent gaze fell fixedly on the door curtain of the western room, as if they wanted to burn a hole through it.

  "Ladies, please be patient for a moment, the young lady is getting up and will come out soon." Meanwhile, Cuijiao came over to bow to everyone.

  Everyone's face naturally didn't look good upon hearing this.

  They had been waiting since morning, but said they would meet in the afternoon. In the afternoon, they came early to wait again, but by now it was almost dusk and still no one had come out.

  The shelf is really big, is it intentional?

  Cui Qiao naturally took their displeasure to heart, but didn't leave the gathering, instead smiling and pouring tea for everyone, chatting with them.

  Everyone dares to be angry but not dare to speak out, so they can only continue waiting in a bad mood.

  It wasn't until two more cups of tea had been consumed that the door curtain was lifted and Qingtiao supported Jiusi'er, who was wearing a large red jacket with yellow embroidered hibiscus flowers, as she came out.

  Seeing everyone, Jiu Jie immediately showed a face full of apology and said, "Sorry, everyone. I originally wanted to take a nap, but didn't expect to oversleep."

  Everyone was dissatisfied, but they didn't dare say much. Plus, Jiu's sincere apologetic expression made them reluctantly get up and say: "Nothing."

  Since everyone has expressed their understanding, Jiu Jie naturally didn't dwell on it anymore. She smiled and said thank you for your understanding, then sat down to receive the gift.

  The first to offer tea was Wang Yan Niang, who knelt on the soft cushion in front of Jiu Si Er. She still had that smiling face from earlier, "Princess Wang, please have some tea!"

  Jiujie smiled and took over the tea from her hand, lightly sipped a mouthful, then rewarded her with a biyu golden hairpin.

  After receiving the gift, Wang's wife stood aside, and then the woman in pink with low eyebrows and a humble expression came forward, intending to kneel.

  The ninth sister naturally hurried to stop her.

  "Qiao Yu has seen...seen the princess!" But she still insisted on kneeling, and finally managed to kneel down with difficulty. Then she took over a small tea from a little maid's hand and respectfully presented it.

  "Alright, get up quickly and be careful!"

  The ninth sister quickly drank her tea and immediately ordered Cui Qiao and Qing Xing on either side to help her up, only then did she hand over a pair of crimson gold earrings.

  Qiao Yu immediately thanked him repeatedly after receiving the gift.

  Seeing her being so respectful and obedient, Jiu's face naturally showed a satisfied expression, smiling warmly as she instructed, "Yu Niang's body is heavy, be careful with everything."

  "Thank you... Princess!" Chao Yu's face turned slightly red, and she thanked Jiu again before retreating to the side in an orderly manner.

  She glanced at her again, and a faint smile flashed quickly across Jiu's eyes.

  Qiao Huan has seen the princess!

  Then it was the turn of the woman in silver and white, with a small chrysanthemum pattern on her high-collared jacket, who knelt down to Jiuniang, kowtowed, and offered tea, still with that icy and noble demeanor.

  On the contrary, Jiu's smile became more gentle and soft, which attracted everyone's attention. However, soon they found that they had underestimated the young girl in front of them.

  "After a day of running around, I'm really thirsty now." After taking a sip of the tea handed over by Qiao Huan, Jiu Jie's face showed an expression of savoring the flavor, and she actually started drinking the tea.

  She moved neither too quickly nor too slowly, her movements elegant, but the expression on her oval face gradually changed.

  If this continues, she really won't just kneel for a few moments.

  That small blue-and-white porcelain teacup was indeed not large, but the problem was that Ninth Sister intentionally delayed, and drinking a cup of tea could take two quarters of an hour.

  Fortunately, Jiu quickly finished the tea and put the teacup back on the saucer.

  Nuo Chou Huan couldn't help but let out a subtle sigh, her face also instantly paled, and she could no longer maintain the initial noble and icy demeanor.

  The ninth sister smiled lightly and handed over the gift she had brought for their meeting.

  When Chou Huan's gaze fell on the same pair of crimson gold earrings in her hand, her face couldn't help but show a slight joy, and she slightly turned her head to look at Nuo Yu standing beside her.

  Niao Yu naturally also saw the earrings in her hand, and her face couldn't help but quickly change color. She raised her head to look at Jiu Si'er who was sitting at the top.

  When her gaze fell on Jiu's still smiling face, her shoulders couldn't help but slump slightly, and the subtle pride and ease in her beautiful eyes also disappeared, replaced by caution and anxiety.

  Who would have thought that this young queen would be so extraordinary, her cunning ways perhaps having been seen through long ago...

  Indeed—

  Having lived for two lifetimes and having trained in the deep mansion of the Wen family, how could he possibly not see through Cui Yu's schemes?

  Yuanyuan Wangfei Xia Shi: unable to bear children, of low birth, weak in character, and also not good at managing affairs.

  Such a daughter-in-law could not enter the eyes of Meng Tai Fei, who was born in a high-ranking family and was clever and efficient. So Meng Tai Fei sent over two beautiful maidservants from her side under the name of childbearing.

  These two maidservants were Ch'iu-yü and Ch'iu-huan.

  Although both have stunning looks, Zhaoyu and Zhaohuan are absolutely not on the same level.

  Qiao Yu is not only clever and quick-witted, but also most importantly, she has a strong sense of propriety and etiquette, and is able to win people over wherever she goes. Meng Taifei, Xia Shi, Wei Yuan Wang Yang Guofeng.

  This is also the reason why she can be pregnant with six babies.

  She must be Yang Guofeng's most favored one!

  But in that deep mansion gate, seeing all kinds of faces and means, how could Jiu sister believe that Qiao Yu was really such a person?

  It can only be said that it is deeply hidden and has a heavy heart.

  Today, this clever jade's behavior made her clearly realize this point ——

  She was dragged down to her knees, and the courtesy couldn't be more thorough.

  And they directly called her Princess Wang, without calling her sister.

  Even if she was born as a servant girl, once she became pregnant, she was already considered to have formal status and various guarantees as a concubine. She should have had the right to call her sister, but she didn't, instead calling her Princess Wang.

  How square and honest, humble and respectful!

  But a normally proper and regular person like her would wear such a tight-fitting dress on her already heavily pregnant body.

  This is absolutely right and proper, and boasts what should be boasted about.

  It should be that while gaining her favor, she also hoped to intimidate her and make her cautious, this was a tactic she had used before.

  So she responded very well to her, equally thoughtful and cordial, but coincidentally gave her a gift of a pair of earrings that were identical to the clever ring.

  This is indirectly telling her to recognize herself and be a real person!

  As for this...

  Jiujie's gaze fell on Qiaohuan, who had retreated to one side, although she was the least favored of the three concubines who had served Yang Guofeng, but she was the granddaughter of Jin Mama, who had been the most favored by Old Lady Meng.

  It is said that this Jin mother also knows martial arts, and was a maid accompanying Madame Meng. Now, due to her poor health, she has returned home to rest, but occasionally returns to the mansion for a visit, and her relationship with Madame Meng remains as close as ever.

  So she used the method just now!

  I hope this slightly arrogant but indeed genuine girl can take care of herself!

  Finally, there were the two beauties Hong Chui and Lu Wei who had been bestowed upon him by the Emperor.

  Without Yang Guofeng by her side, the two beauties were very proper and respectfully bowed their heads to her, then accepted a pair of jade bangles from them.

  These two women didn't intend to give them any color, as it seemed unnecessary. Yang Guofeng had always kept the two slim and beautiful women idle, so there must be some plan. Why bother with more trouble?

  As for Wang Yan Niang——

  "Everyone has worked hard, this thing is produced in a small shop, it's not something rare or precious, just a small token of our intentions, please don't despise it!"

  When all the junior concubines were leaving, Ninth Sister again instructed Cuiqiao and Qingxing to bring out a few pieces of soap and candles to give to them.

  Everyone was delighted and took some, then thanked Jiu Jie.

  There was only one person who took it, but her face was a bit stiff, that is Wang's wife.

  It must be because of the business rivalry between the Jiang and Wang families!

  Although Wang's family business is still doing well, it can no longer be a competitor to the Jiang family. Now that she has become the rightful queen, shouldn't the Jiang family have completely won out?

  But merely striking back is still not enough——

  "I heard that Wang's wife's family is also in the candle-making business?"

  "Hmm, yes..." In response to Jiu's sudden question, Wang's wife was taken aback at first, then nodded slightly with sparkling eyes.

  Jiujie'er smiled again, "If the raw materials are handy another day, I'll make a few more bars of soap in this mansion for my sisters to use. At that time, I hope Aunt will lend a hand."

  A few words made Wang's beautiful eyes shine brightly, and she hastily said, "This... of course, being able to help Princess Wang is my honor!"

  The most talkative person is always right.

  The ninth sister couldn't help but laugh in her heart, and she must have had a mind to steal the art.

  Uh...

  It's a pity that this skill is not so easy to steal, it's too complicated, she should not be able to do it!

  But it's clear that Wang Yan Niang doesn't think so, her attitude towards Jiu Jie Er is obviously more sincere, after everyone left, she even made an excuse to sit for a long time, chatting with her about various trivial matters in the mansion.

  After seeing off Wang Yan Niang, the sky was no longer early, and Jiu Si Er again heard from Qing Tao and Cui Mei about the arrangement of her huge dowry. When she finally had time to relax, it was already lamp-lighting time, and the kitchen sent over dinner.

  Smelling the aroma of the dishes, Jiu Jie realized she was truly hungry, so she asked Qing Xiang to serve her rice and prepare for dinner. Just then, a maid came to report that Yang Guo Feng had returned.

  So early?

  Jiujie'er heard this and couldn't help but furrow her brow.

  After they returned, Yang Guofeng went to Meng Taifei's place and accompanied several guests who had not left with Yang Guoqing and Yang Guoshou.

  Those guests were all young, and it was said that they had to let the Yang brothers take them on a tour of the city, and also eat at all the restaurants in the city.

  She thought he should come back late, a group of people drinking wine, maybe it was already deep in the night, and when he came back she was already asleep...

  What's the use of being able to sleep? Didn't she also sleep last night?

  Thinking of this, Jiu's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

  Just then, Yang Guofeng had already entered the house...

  ……

  Digression

  Everyone, I'll modify that character list in a bit, those who think it's necessary can go take a look!
