"I came here to deliver something to Sister Jiahe on the orders of the Queen Mother. Didn't I send someone to pass it on?"
Concubine De didn't seem to take Princess Jiahe's anger to heart, and still had a smile on her face: "Sister Jiahe, come and have a look. These are the clothes and fruits that have just been sent as tribute from the south. They are all excellent things. I specially brought them to you." I picked out what my sister likes and brought it to me.”
As soon as Concubine De finished speaking, the maids and eunuchs filed in, all holding things in their hands.
"Zhilan, send someone to deliver the things to the warehouse." Princess Jiahe didn't want to talk to Concubine De, so she turned her head and took Meng Shu's hand: "Sister Meng, let's continue practicing the whipping technique."
Meng Shu had just greeted Concubine De. At that time, Concubine De was paying attention to Princess Jiahe. Now she looked at Meng Shu, and she was slightly startled.
This young lady from the Meng family is indeed as beautiful as the rumors outside.
She has a beautiful oval face, snow-like skin, big and bright eyes, the ends of her eyes are slightly upturned, extremely bright, her nose is high, her lips are as red as cherry blossoms... She is a first-class beauty.
Today, Meng Shu is wearing a royal blue outfit, her hair is combed high and fixed with a hair crown.
Women in the Zhou Dynasty mostly wore such attire when they went out to ride horses or practice archery. It couldn't be simpler.
But when worn on Meng Shu, it made her even more graceful and graceful, with her shoulders as if they were cut and her waist as plain as before. The neck is extended to show off the neck, and the beauty is revealed.
Concubine De felt that a graceful beauty like herself was the real beauty.
As the saying goes, it is good to have poetry and calligraphy in your belly.
She has loved reading since she was a child. She is beautiful and has a natural temperament. Among the concubines in the palace, no one can compare with her.
Her aunt was also such a beauty, so most of the people selected for the harem draft were delicate women.
Princess Jiahe is bright and generous, and likes to dance with the whip. She is not very formal all day long, which is an exception in the harem.
But she was the emperor's sister, so she lived as freely as she could, and no one dared to say anything.
As for this Meng Shu?
Concubine De frowned slightly.
She originally thought that a bright-looking woman, although beautiful at first glance, would not bear to be looked at. As time went by, she would become a bit tacky. Only a soft and beautiful woman like her could be truly stunning.
But this Meng Shu is so beautiful but not tacky. The more she looks at her, the more people can't help but want to take a second look at her.
This kind of woman who is as bright as stars is really incompatible with their Zhou imperial palace.
Fortunately, Meng Shu was invited by Princess Jiahe. He will not enter the palace again in three months and will not have any interaction with her.
Even if he doesn't like her, she is still the daughter of an important minister and should not be treated harshly.
"It is very common for a man to have three wives and concubines. The girl named Liang Shuang'er is also Wei Qingyun's cousin. Miss Meng really shouldn't have made this matter so big and even canceled the engagement. If you can be generous, Some, let Liang Shuang'er enter the house and become the aunt in the house. Not only will she be at your mercy, but people outside will exaggerate your magnanimity, but you are a girl with a strong temper and cannot tolerate a grain of sand in your eyes. It's such a pity to abandon it!" Concubine De looked at Meng Shu with disapproval in her words.
King Wei told the Queen Mother about this matter when he came to the palace yesterday afternoon to pay his respects.
Concubine De was also present.
Knowing that Wei Qingyun was being plotted against and was deeply in love with Meng Shu, but Meng Shu insisted on breaking off the engagement, De Fei felt that Meng Shu was a little ignorant.
When I meet someone today, I naturally want to say a few words.
She was a dignified empress, in charge of the harem, and Meng Shu was just the daughter of a minister. Concubine De didn't think there was anything wrong with her mentioning a few words about Meng Shu.
Meng Shu certainly disagreed with Concubine De's words.
It's just that this is a palace, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
She can't cause trouble for her family.
If anyone else dared to say that, Meng Shu would definitely reply: "It's a pity, then get married!"
After hearing Concubine De's words, Princess Jiahe said angrily: "Wei Qingyun promised before that he would never take a concubine in his life and that he would be with Sister Meng for the rest of his life, but in the end he did such a disgusting thing. , According to this princess, it would be an advantage for him to break off the engagement, so how can Concubine De speak for a scumbag? "
Concubine De's face turned red when she heard this: "Sister Jiahe is a noble woman with a noble status. With the Queen Mother and the Emperor making decisions for her, men in the world naturally don't dare to bully her, but other women are different. The reputation of my daughter's family is most important. , Since ancient times, how many women who have withdrawn from marriage have a good ending? Miss Meng is protected by her family, so she is not affected too much. If it were any other lady, she would have become a sister-in-law. "
Princess Jiahe was about to say something when she heard this, but Meng Shu held her hand.
Concubine De ran rampant in the harem and was protected by the Queen Mother. Meng Shu did not want Princess Jiahe to quarrel with her because of her.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. I will bear it in mind. Thank you very much for your teaching." Meng Shu said calmly.
When Concubine De heard what Meng Shu said, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
The King of Wei told her yesterday that this girl, Meng Shu, grew up in the border area and did not understand the rules of the capital. She was a strong-willed person who insisted on having her own way.
From her point of view, this girl's temperament is still quite soft, and she is not as oily and salty as they say.
Doesn't Wei Qingyun want to reunite with Meng Shu? Maybe he can help.
When the time comes, if the credit goes to King Wei, Wei Qingyun will definitely be completely devoted to King Wei.
The perverted King of Wei sent a message to her specifically, asking her to make peace with him.
People said that as long as he could facilitate this matter, he would go to the Queen Mother and make her the queen.
She has always dreamed of becoming a queen.
Even if the emperor is in poor health and will die soon, she still wants to sit in the back seat and honor the world as her mother.
"I see that Miss Meng also regrets it a little. Then Wei Qingyun also wants to get back together again. Why don't you... I be a matchmaker for you?"
As soon as Concubine De finished her words, Meng Shu's voice came to her ears: "Marriage is a major matter, and parents' orders to find a matchmaker are not child's play. The marriage between my daughter and Wei Qingyun has been decided by her parents. Naturally, there will be no reunion. That’s right, thank you so much for thinking about me, I can only live up to your love!”
Concubine De wanted to say something when she heard this, but Princess Jiahe was the first to say: "Even the queen mother and the emperor's brother felt that this matter was the fault of the Wei family. The emperor's brother even issued an order to punish Wei Qingyun. Concubine De's wife, this is Do you want to go beyond the mother and the emperor and grant them marriage? "
Concubine De's expression changed.
"Oops!" Princess Jiahe said with a look of regret: "It's a pity that the empress is not a queen, so she is not qualified to grant marriages to others."
After hearing her words, Concubine De's hands shook with anger, but she still had a smile on her face: "I just feel that Miss Meng and Mr. Wei Qingyun are talented, good-looking, and well-matched, and it is a pity to miss them like this, so I said more. A few words, but I don’t mean to mess with the relationship. The things have been delivered, so I will go back first. "
