MTL - Unforgettable Emperor’s Favor-Chapter 115 Concubine
Yu Qingjia slowly twirled her finger on the tea lid, and it was obviously Yu Qingya who had revealed it in private that Mrs. Li could say such a thing. What's more, Yu Qingya made a promise to Mrs. Li that King Guangping would surely ascend to that position in the future.
Otherwise, Mrs. Li, a wife in a deep-rooted house with deep-rooted prejudice against concubines, would not be so happy to prepare for the marriage. Then this is intriguing. Yu Qingya originally wanted to marry King Yingchuan with all her heart. In order to avoid the marriage bestowed by King Yingchuan, Yu Qingya even did not hesitate to poison Laojun Yu. Why did Yu Qingya change her mind now?
Yu Qingjia didn't show it at all, but she had turned around several times in her heart. She kept her composure and continued to use Li's cliché: "It turns out that the empress sent her father-in-law over to see the fourth sister. The fourth sister was lukewarm about this matter. I thought that the fourth sister was unwilling to marry into the emperor's family. But looking at it now Come on, it's not that Fourth Sister doesn't like Zhumen, so it's strange, why didn't the good-looking Princess Yingchuan become the side concubine of King Guangping instead?"
Mrs. Li dismissed it, and said: "How can it be the same. King Yingchuan is not the eldest son, and his biological mother is just a low-class maidservant, but King Guangping is the empress's own son, His Majesty's eldest son. If it weren't for Guang King Ping has no heirs yet, and he has long been established as the crown prince by the emperor. Ten concubines with no future are no match for one prince's favorite concubine. How can Princess Yingchuan compare with the women of King Guangping."
Yu Qingjia raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, Li Shi's logic is really perfect and self-contained, presumably, that's what Yu Qingya told her. Yu Qingjia was unhurried, and said leisurely: "I don't quite understand what my aunt said. You said that King Guangping is the eldest son, but it's a pity that he didn't have a son so he was not made the prince by the sage. According to what my aunt said, King Guangping needs It's the same eldest son, so what's the matter with the concubine?"
The relationship between Liu Liusu and Yu Qingjia can't be said to be good, but now hearing these words, Liu Liusu is really indescribably relieved. It's ridiculous that Li Shi looks down on the maids and concubines around her, but at the same time she is proud of her daughter being a concubine for the prince.
Li Shi was poked in the sore spot, and shouted: "How can this be the same?"
"Why is it different? Auntie is the main wife, and Princess Guangping is also the main wife. The same wife, is it different for the son-in-law's family?"
Li's lungs hurt from being poked by Yu Qingjia, and she said angrily: "You are presumptuous, you are not only disrespectful to the elders, but also disrespectful to the royal family."
"My niece doesn't understand, so I'm asking my aunt for advice." Yu Qingjia looked at Li Shi with a smile and said, "My aunt keeps saying it's different, but I still don't understand. What's the difference?"
Mrs. Li was really **** off by Yu Qingjia, and no matter what the occasion was and how many outsiders were present, she poured out what Yu Qingya had said: "Princess Guangping is notoriously weak, even on New Year's Eve The New Year's banquet can't even last, and when she has a baby, it won't have to wait until the year of the monkey. The empress has been dissatisfied with her for a long time. After the fourth mother is married, as long as she can give birth to a son, her status will be different. At that time, the mother is more expensive than the son. The main concubine is weak, and Si Niang is a side concubine in name, but she is not the same as the main concubine in the mansion."
Yu Qingjia originally wanted to anger Li Shi, but she was still disgusted when she heard these words. She and Concubine Guangping have never lived together, and they have no relationship with each other, but Yu Qingjia feels cold for Concubine Guangping, look, Princess Guangping is not dead yet, someone is watching her position.
Yu Qingjia really couldn't hear it. Although she smiled, her eyes revealed a burst of coldness: "I really opened my eyes today. My aunt admires women's virtues and has always regarded herself as the eldest wife. I thought that my aunt would at least Consistent, if you want to look down on concubines, you will always look down on concubines. I never thought that my aunt would look down on concubines all her life, but when she was replaced by her own daughter, her attitude would completely change."
No matter how nice Li Shi said before, it was an indisputable fact that Yu Qingya was a concubine. The louder she yelled, the more guilty she actually was. Now being exposed mercilessly by Yu Qingjia, Mrs. Li became furious with embarrassment, her face flushed, and she said sharply: "You are pointing out Jiangshan now, and you are happy to say it, but when Siniang becomes prominent in the future, you may not even have the qualifications to kneel and look at her." No. When the time comes, don't regret what you said today."
Yu Qingjia laughed, she put down the teacup, and saluted Mrs. Li solemnly: "Don't worry, my concubine's relatives are not serious relatives. I don't want to go to Guangping Palace to visit Fourth Sister in the future. Auntie and Fourth Sister Sister must make me regret it."
"You..." Li's teeth were itching with anger. When Old Master Yu was still there, she often pointed fingers at Yu Qingjia because of his favoritism. Unexpectedly, now that Laojun is gone, Li Shi, a fox, has no "tiger" to take advantage of, and he is so stunned that he can't answer. Li was so angry that she didn't choose what to say, and blurted out: "Sure enough, you are raised by a young woman, but you can't get on the stage, you can only show off your tongue. Smart words, persuasive, you don't look like a girl from a family like you."
Previously, no matter what Yu Qingjia said, she could smile back, but when Yu Shi was mentioned, her expression immediately turned cold. Yu Qingjia completely stopped laughing, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, which was almost as sharp as real: "What qualifications do you have to mention my mother? I have always tolerated you because you are an elder, but the elders are not benevolent, how can the younger generation be filial? You have been slandering my mother as a concubine, and I refuted it many times, but you pretended not to hear it. Now, while everyone is here, I will make it clear to you for the last time. In terms of friendship, my mother and father have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. In terms of time, my grandmother made a marriage contract with my parents when I was ten years old. In terms of status, my aunt is the second wife, my husband is Yu Wenjun, the fourth son of the Yu family, and my aunt married Yu Wenzhi, the eldest son of the Yu family. What is the relationship with the second room? Why should I slander my mother as a concubine?"
Yu Qingjia stood up, her long skirt with wide sleeves, layers of skirts piled up on the ground, charming and floating. There was no smile on Yu Qingjia's face, her appearance was cold, and she said: "This is the last time I say this. If the aunt still can't remember it and says it wrong next time, then no matter who is there or how many maids there are, I will It is necessary to invite grandma to come forward and let grandma teach aunt well. Oh, yes, I almost forgot to remind aunt that you have looked down on concubines for half your life and secretly run on me as a concubine and my aunt as a concubine, but now, your daughter is really a concubine. She has become an out-and-out concubine. In the future, even if the fourth sister gets a man in one fell swoop, and the mother is more expensive than the son, she will still be the son of the Guangping Princess, not the grandson of the eldest aunt."
Li Shi blushed with anger at first, then turned blue, and finally became lifeless white. She stood up and wanted to refute, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Yu Qingjia walking past her as if nothing was happening, and saluted behind her: "Father."
The last trace of blood on Li's face was completely exhausted, Yu Wenjun didn't know when he came out, and he didn't know how much he had heard just now. Li shivered and turned around, muttering: "Da Lang, that's not what I meant..."
Yu Wenjun's face was so dark that it was frightening. He looked at Li Shi, and said word by word: "A concubine? Ah Yu has suffered so much because of you, and you actually use the concubine to humiliate her? How dare you humiliate her in front of Jiajia? That being said, did you also tell Ah Yu back then?"
"I didn't, Dalang, listen to my explanation..."
Mrs. Li chased after her in a panic, trying to grab Yu Wenjun's sleeve and speak. Yu Wenjun had been annoyed by Yu Qingya in the room before, but now that she suddenly heard Mrs. Li say such words, she became so anxious that she almost stood still. Waddled. He flicked his sleeve angrily, and threw Li Shi to the ground: "Get lost."
Yu Wenjun swayed, and the maids shouted "Master Lang" in panic. Yu Qingjia was also startled, and quickly called "Father", reaching out to help him. Yu Wenjun stroked his forehead and waved his hand to signal everyone not to come over. After he could barely see, Yu Wenjun walked out quickly without looking.
Yu Qingjia glanced coldly at Li Shi who was lying on the ground, and left without saying a word, leading the maid. After Yu Wenjun and Yu Qingjia left, the maids of the big room dared to swarm up and help Mrs. Li up. Liu Liusu stood at the outermost edge. She first glanced at Yu Wenjun's leaving back, then lowered her head, slowly pondering what Li Shi had just revealed, thoughtfully.
Yu Wenjun was stimulated one after another in the ancestral house. After returning home, he couldn't hold on anymore and fell ill.
Yu Wenjun's illness lingered for a whole winter, and he didn't get better until the twelfth lunar month. The second wife Yu also moved from her ancestral house to a courtyard in the suburbs. Because of her son's adoption, she turned against her mother-in-law, and even had a relationship with her son. Seeing Yu Wenjun's illness, she wanted to say something several times, but in the end she only sighed deeply.
Yu Wenjun obviously had a heart attack this time. Old Master Yu died of illness, Yu Qingya was obsessed with obsession, coupled with Li's humiliation and Yu's insult, repeated blows overlapped, Yu Wenjun's long-logged pressure broke out completely, and he couldn't afford to get sick.
Erlao Yu stood outside Yu Wenjun's room, holding a Buddhist bead in her hand, and looked inside for a long time, but finally she didn't go in, and left as quietly as when she came. As soon as she walked out of the corridor, there was a light running sound behind her, and a clear female voice chased after her: "Grandma, stay a while."
Although Ermao Yu didn't turn around, she didn't continue to walk forward anyway. Yu Qingjia caught up and asked, "Grandma, since you're here, why don't you go in and have a look?"
Ermao Yu shook her head: "He has you to take care of him, so there is nothing to worry about in terms of basic necessities of life. If I go in, I can only cause trouble. Why bother. As long as I know that he is recuperating well, it doesn't matter if I go in or not."
"How can this be the same." Yu Qingjia persuaded, "Although my father doesn't say anything, he is actually thinking about grandma in his heart."
Ermao Yu smiled wryly and shook her head: "He hasn't seen me for almost ten years. Even if he misses me, where can he miss me? We are mother and son in name, but the actual relationship may not be as good as that between him and Old Master Yu. Forget it, it's all about Chen. About old age, if you don’t talk about old things with a little girl like you, young people shouldn’t listen to these lifeless words. His only caring person left early, and there is no one else around these years, so it will be hard for you in the future.”
Emotional matters are like people drinking water. As a junior, Yu Qingjia really can't give advice on how to get along with her grandmother and father, so she can only smile and comfort Yu Ermao and say: "I know, I will take good care of my father, so don't worry, grandma."
Ermao Yu smiled very faintly, put the beads on her wrist on Yu Qingjia's hands, and said, "You are a good boy. I, a grandmother who neglected my duty, have never been with you since I was a child. This string of beads accompanied me In the past ten years, I have soaked up a lot of incense in front of the Buddha beads, so I will leave it for you to protect yourself."
Yu Qingjia was taken aback when she heard that, how dare she accept such a valuable thing, Yu Qingjia quickly took off the Buddhist beads from her wrist, but was held down by Yu Ermao. Yu Eryu said: "This is my grandmother's wish. I have worshiped the Buddha for many years, and I have nothing to give you. Only this string of beads is the most important thing around me. You can accept it at ease. I have served in front of the Buddha for many years, and my eyes are not good enough. You will misunderstand the person. You are a good girl, and you will have many blessings to enjoy in the future. You just need to live at home with peace of mind, and don’t worry about those ghosts and snakes. The big house’s seal is bright but has no success. Even if you are proud for a while, you don’t have to Compete with her more."
"Granddaughter understands." Yu Qingjia responded, and Ermao Yu explained a few more dietary taboos, and walked away alone on crutches. The maids on both sides tried to support Yu Ermao a few times, but she pushed them away indifferently.
Yu Qingjia looked at Erlao Yu's thin back, and sighed inwardly. After watching Ermao Yu go away, Yu Qingjia hugged her cloak and walked towards the corridor. Bai Rong followed Yu Qingjia and said in a low voice, "Lady, Bai Lu has sent word that Miss Fourth's wedding date is set, and it will be next spring. Bai Lu He also said that the Fourth Miss seems to have contacted King Guangping in private. She wanted to postpone the wedding, and at least get back the words of being filial to Old Master Yu, but King Guangping refused."
Yu Qingjia responded nonchalantly, and said: "She was crying and fussing before, and she had been acting for so long, and she refused to get married during Laojun's filial piety. People who didn't know thought she was filial. Now, even In less than half a year, she will marry another man. I don't know if Yu Qingya is ashamed or not."
Bai Rong didn't like to comment. After much deliberation, she still felt deeply worthless for her family: "My lady, the Fourth Miss poisoned Old Master Yu, so let's just let it go?"
With Yu Qingya becoming Murong Zhen's side concubine in a stroke of genius, Yu Wenjun's investigation could only be suspended. If you continue to investigate, it will be difficult to find anything. When Yu Wenjun and others secretly investigated earlier, Yu Qingjia was also guiding the situation along the way. If not, how could Yu Wenjun have such a coincidence that he happened to hear what the maid accused Yu Qingya of. This strategy could have solved Yu Qingya in one fell swoop, and it would not involve Yu Qingjia at all. It's a pity that it can only be shelved now.
Bai Rong was sorry, but Yu Qingjia herself was very calm. She said: "Do your best to obey the destiny, not to mention that this is an unexpected situation. Who would have guessed that Yu Qingya would become the concubine of King Guangping. Take death, let's just watch."
Bai Rong bowed her head in response, feeling ashamed in her heart. She is older than Yu Qingjia, but she is not as good as Yu Qingjia in the end. Yu Qingjia was right, Yu Qingya was already completely in their hands, there was no need to ruin long-term plans for short-term interests. Besides, from the son's point of view, since Yu Qingya became King Guangping's side concubine, Bai Lu could go in and out of the imperial palace and Prince Guangping's mansion, which was more beneficial to their plans. After Bai Rong figured it out, she no longer struggled, and it was right to let Yu Qingya live a few more days.
Bai Rong was still bothering Yu Qingya, but Yu Qingjia's mind had already been distracted by another matter.
Yu Qingya's foresight may not be obvious in daily life, but once it is applied to the military and political situation, it is actually quite deadly. Moreover, this is extremely detrimental to those who really rely on strength to fight. King Langya relied on surprise attacks to raise troops. If Yu Qingya revealed every move of King Langya to King Guangping, then King Guangping, who had mediocre military talent, could firmly restrain the real genius, and in return he would be promoted step by step. This is really unfair.
Yu Qingjia was absorbed in thinking, and suddenly smiled. She laughed to herself secretly, she was just an ordinary person, a small speck of dust in the torrent of history, how could she have the right to worry about the future overlord of the world? Since King Langya was able to unify the north and the south when he was less than twenty, he has his own merits, so what is she worrying about here?
Yu Qingjia took a deep breath, and the breath formed hoarfrost in the cold morning air. Yu Qingjia looked at the remaining snow outside the verandah, and suddenly thought, what was the vixen doing when it snowed the day before yesterday?
Once when Yu Qingjia saw snow, she would think of the wind, flowers, snow, moon, auspiciousness and prosperity, and her mother's plum cake, but now when she sees snow, the first thing she thinks is, what a vixen.
When I was young, I was sad when I saw Xue, but now I only miss Qing when I see Xue.
