Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh conspiracy
After chatting with Xu Xi for a few words, Chen Danxia and Xu Qi came to the main topic, "I didn't think about letting you enter the Prince's Mansion, but now the imperial edict has been issued, so it is imperative for you to enter the Prince's Mansion."
"San Sister-in-law, you don't think there is no big difference between entering the Prince's Mansion and marrying other people." Xu Xu said calmly.
How could there be no difference between wives and concubines? But Xu Xu's status has been determined. Even if Gao Ju ascended the throne and became emperor in the future, Xu Xu was named a concubine, or even an imperial concubine, as long as the queen is still there, she is a concubine, and she will always be under another woman, and behave in a low position. But Chen Danxia couldn't say this, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Has the sixth sister seen Prince Yan in the palace?"
"I have seen it and talked to you." Xu Xu replied honestly.
"What kind of person do you think Prince Yan is?" Chen Danxia asked.
Xu Xu looked up at Chen Danxia and said seriously: "Mr. Yan is a person with great ambitions, but not a good man; Third Sister-in-law, I have never forgotten what you said to me. Women should love themselves and not live to death for a man. If he remains unhappy, I will not abandon him. If he is unwilling, I will give up. Third Sister-in-law, don't worry about me. I can go with the flow and live a good life everywhere."
After hearing this, Chen Danxia didn't know whether to be happy or worried. After a long time of silence, he said, "When you enter the Prince's Mansion, you will inevitably have conflicts with other women who serve the Prince. But you have to remember that you can make small fuss with them and be jealous, but you must not hurt the Prince's descendants."
"San Sister-in-law, I won't do such cruel things. Children are innocent." Xu Xu smiled.
"Also, when you enter the Prince's Mansion, you must remember your identity and not seek things that do not belong to you. Whether you like the Prince or not, you must treat him with your heart. Maybe say this, so that he will think that you love him wholeheartedly." Chen Danxia said solemnly.
Xu Xu pursed his lower lips and said, "San Sister-in-law, I understand. I will treat the prince well."
"For other women of the prince, you must not have the idea of being close to him. Don't provoke her to the concubine, and don't be afraid of her. Just treat her with a normal heart. Don't stroll in front of her if you have nothing to do, don't provoke her, and never be charmed by favor." Chen Danxia continued.
Xu Xu nodded and nodded lightly.
"You must be careful of others, especially after having children." Chen Danxia said last.
"San Sister-in-law, the Prince's Mansion is not a tiger's den. Don't worry so much about me. Third Sister-in-law, I will do my duty." Xu Xu threw into Chen Danxia's arms with tears in his eyes, "San Sister-in-law, thank you." Only those who are sincerely good for themselves will say these heart-to-heart words.
Chen Danxia gently stroked her back and said, "Life well, you must live well."
"I can do it, my third sister-in-law, I will live a good life." Xu Xu choked and said.
Chen Danxia chatted with her for a while before leaving. Back at Lingxiyuan, Fuqin reported: "Grandma, Gangjubaozhai sent four more manuscripts of Zhang's family."
"I found four more books." Chen Danxia was no longer so concerned about the matter of solving the Twenty-Eight Constellations after giving birth to a child. He did not rush to read the book, but went to the east wing to read his son.
The two brothers were still young and could not turn over. They could only face the sky, kicking their legs, and babbling in their mouths, not knowing what they were saying. Chen Danxia sat down beside the couch, picked up the rattle, and shaking to attract the attention of the two little guys, "Pangpang, Zhuangzhuang, my dear, what are you talking about, and tell me."
When the two brothers saw their mother, they spoke happier. Zhuangzhuang was dancing and saliva flowed. Chen Danxia took a veil to help him wipe his saliva, "Why are we Zhuangzhuang so happy? Did you think of something beautiful?"
After teasing the two children for a while, he coaxed them to sleep, and ordered the maid to watch it well. Chen Danxia went to the west, and there were four manuscripts on the kang table. Chen Danxia sat down on the kang, and picked up one to read it casually. It said, "Those who are the best can make villains not be too strict, nor too lenient. If they are small mistakes, those who can be lenient will be forgiven; those who are not lenient will be punished and disciplined at that time, and they will not hold grudges. If they do not punish them at the moment and are often trampled on by trivial matters, the villains will be afraid and useless. This is also what people want, please remember them carefully!"
The whole book is full of such philosophical sentences. Chen Danxia puts it aside and picks up the second book, which says, "The human being becomes a demon, also known as a human being; the human being is a human being transformed into a wolf; the eight fates are a divination that predicts state affairs..." This book records all the things that are about gods and ghosts.
"Grandma, it's time to have lunch." Shiqin came in and said.
"Send it in." Chen Danxia put down the book and ate his hands.
After lunch, Chen Danxia continued to look through Zhang's manuscript. This third manuscript gave her unexpected surprise. The records of the twenty-eight constellations, Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, Ji, and the vernal equinox are in the eastern sky, which is the seven constellations of the eastern green dragon. Dou, Niu, Fe, Wei, Shi, Bi, and the vernal equinox are in the northern sky, which is the seven constellations of Xuanwu in the northern sky. Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao, Bi, Vi, Shen, and the vernal equinox are in the western sky, which is the seven constellations of the western white tiger in the western sky. Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, Zhen, and the vernal equinox are in the southern sky, which is the seven constellations of the southern Zhuque in the southern sky.
The twelve zodiacs are combined with the twelve branches, and there are three birds, so there are thirty six birds. Therefore, there are three branches, divided into three hours, one day and day, and the evening is at dusk. If you seek it with your intention, the twelve zodiacs are in the day position, and it should not be at dusk or dusk. Now, according to the method of wiping the meridians, it should be taken with qi. If you are in the evening, it should be at dusk, and the middle is at dusk, and the middle is at dusk, and the mid is at dusk, and the mid is at dusk, which is at dusk, and the twelve zodiacs are at dusk.
Chen Danxia finished reading what was written above, but it was not very useful, and she became even more confused. How to solve this mystery? She scratched her head in distress.
In the evening, Xu Lang came back and didn't see Chen Danxia in the room. He asked, "Where have grandma been?"
The maid pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Grandma is going to take a shower."
"Why are you taking a bath at this time?" Xu Lang asked in surprise.
"Just just now, the eldest young master calmed down his stinky smell on his grandma." The maid smiled.
Xu Lang was stunned and shaved his fat nose, "Little guy, why are you naughty today?"
Pangpang cried twice, as if answering his father's question, but Xu Lang couldn't understand; Zhuangzhuang saw that Xu Lang only picked up Pangpang but didn't hug him, and shouted anxiously. Xu Lang smiled and stretched out his fingers to pierce Zhuang's soft little teapot.
Zhuangzhuang waved his little hand and kicked his calf, like a little turtle that was turned over. Bad dad! Zhuangzhuang's little teapot immediately stood up, and Xu Lang hugged Pangpang back, avoiding Zhuangzhuang's urine.
"Bad boy, your father, I will not be plotted against you again." Xu Lang's face was covered with Zhuang Zhuang's urine because he didn't know for the first time.
Zhuangzhuang giggled, and Pangpang turned his head and lay on Xu Lang's shoulder, gnawing on his clothes.
"You're back." Chen Danxia walked in, "Hey, why is there a pool of water on the ground?"
"It's not water, it's your son's urine." Xu Lang pointed to the brawny teapot and said.
Chen Danxia leaned over and saw that the brawny teapot was indeed wet, and laughed and scolded, "Bad boy, I want to water your father with urine again."
Zhuangzhuang had a cracked mouth and smiled without teeth. Chen Danxia saw his cute appearance, his heart was as soft as water, and he curled his lips. He touched the blanket under the little guy, but it was not wet. He picked up Zhuangzhuang and kissed his white and tender little face.
Xu Lang put Pangpang back on the couch and took the towel, "Jiu'er, your head is still wet, I'll wipe it for you."
Chen Danxia said "um" and asked the wet nurse to take her two children to the back garden to see the flowers. She sat on the couch and asked Xu Lang to wipe her head.
On August 26, Prince Gao Ju of Yan invited relatives, nobles and civil and military officials at the Prince's Mansion. Because he had not married yet, he was both male guests and female guests. On the first day of September, the Imperial Heaven Supervision used the birth dates of Gao Ju and Yang Lingzhi. After seven days of calculation, it calculated the auspicious day of marriage, the sixth day of the 12th month.
According to the rules, after the official concubine enters the door, the official concubine will decide the order and day of the two concubines entering the door. This is her right as the legitimate wife.
"On the sixth day of the twelfth month, the evil son is about to marry. What are you doing? Do you want me to watch the evil son take the throne like this?" Empress Zhao said with a deep look to a middle-aged woman in the palace dress standing in front of her. Empress Zhao disagreed with the emperor's choice of Duke Pei's daughter as the main concubine for Gao Ju. He tried his best to dissuade him before he issued an order, but the emperor insisted on doing so and asked her, what was wrong with Duke Pei's mansion? Why did she disagree? She was suffering and had to watch the emperor's order to marry.
"Empress, please rest assured. There are still three months left, which is enough for the subordinates to operate." The woman in the palace dress said.
"This time you can only succeed, not fail again." Zhao Hou said with a fierce look on his eyes.
"Last time, it was because his subordinates underestimated the enemy too much, and the eldest prince was protected by Xu Lang and others, which allowed him to escape the disaster." The woman in the palace dress said.
"I will find a way to transfer the masters around him." Zhao Hou said in a deep voice.
The master and servant discussed the details again, and the woman in the palace dress flew out of the window and disappeared into the darkness.
On September 11, Xu Kui's fiftieth birthday, ten days ago, Sun Zhenniang ordered her servants to send invitations to the various palaces. On the day of the banquet, there were a lot of guests in the Xu palace. There were 100 tables in the lobby of the outer courtyard and 100 tables in the inner courtyard flower hall. There were stages in both places, and Qingjiao and Danjiao were singing festive plays.
Because it was his son's birthday, Mrs. Xu did not come forward, and Chen Meigu could no longer come out to entertain guests. The five grandmothers of the Xu family were greeting guests that day. Chen Danxia was talking to Huang and others when he saw Sun Zhenniang's close maid Lu'er hurriedly walked in from outside the flower hall with a panic expression on her face.
Chen Danxia's eyes flashed slightly, and Sun Zhenniang and Lu'er met. The master and servant walked to the door of the flower hall. Lu'er leaned into Sun Zhenniang's ear and said a few words, Sun Zhenniang walked with her.
Chen Danxia frowned slightly, nothing would happen, right?
On the other hand, Peng Xin, who had been paying attention to Sun Zhenniang, saw this, raised her lips and showed a smug smile.
After a while, Lu'er walked into the flower hall again, looked around and walked to Mobian, and whispered: "Sister Moshui, please help me find the third grandma and say I have something to do to tell my third grandma."
Mo Shi glanced at her and walked to Chen Danxia, "Grandma Third, Lu'er around Grandma Fourth has something to report to you."
Chen Danxia smiled at the guest and walked over, "What's the matter?"
Lu'er leaned into her ear and said, "Grandma Third, the ingredients in the kitchen are not bad, they are all broken. Grandma Fourth asked me to invite you over."
"How could this happen?" Chen Danxia took Mo Si and Mo Wang to hurried to the kitchen with Lu'er. Seeing that Chen Danxia was also called away, Peng Xin curled her lips. She didn't believe that Shen had the ability to solve the problem.
"Fourth brother and sister." Chen Danxia saw Sun Zhenniang standing at the kitchen door with a pale face.
"San Sister-in-law, I have let down my third sister-in-law's trust in me." Sun Zhenniang said.
"Don't talk about this for now, what's going on?"
"This morning, the chefs took out the vegetables I bought yesterday from the ice cellar. All the ice in the ice cellar melted, and the vegetables were all broken and they couldn't be used at all." Sun Zhenniang was so anxious that her hands were shaking.
Chen Danxia walked in with his foot. The sharp-eyed maid saw it and quickly bowed and said, "I have met the third grandma and the fourth grandma."
There were various ingredients on the long table in the middle of the kitchen. More than a dozen cooks stood aside at a loss. The manager who replaced Du Pozi's name was Lu. She looked at the table full of ingredients and said, "What should I do? The meal is about to start, but the ingredients are all broken. Oh, where can I get two hundred tables of ingredients? This is really a life-threatening one."
The weather in Jindu is not hot in September. Even if the ingredients are placed outside for a night, they may not be broken. What's more, they are placed in the ice cellar. Chen Danxia knew in his heart that someone must have tampered with it. He sneered and said, "Okay, good, fourth brother and sister, it seems that we are too kind-hearted, and we are bullying our master."
Sun Zhenniang was not a fool either. She wanted to get through the joints, stared at Lu Pozi and said, "Mom Lu, you are the manager of the kitchen. Now something is wrong, what do you have to say?"
"I know that I have made mistakes that I don't know, so I am willing to be punished." Mrs. Lu knelt down and said.
"Come here, take her down and lock her up, and wait until the evening before disposing of it." Chen Danxia waved.
Mrs. Lu did not beg for mercy and honestly followed the maid.
"San Sister-in-law, what should I do when I am here?" Sun Zhenniang asked.
Chen Danxia pondered for a moment and said, "Don't let me go to Baoxiang Tower and ask them to send them to the outer courtyard; don't forget, you go to Wanfu Villa and send one hundred tables to the inner courtyard." It was more than half an hour before noon, and it should be time.
Don’t lose and don’t forget to take the order and leave.
Sun Zhenniang patted her chest and said, "I was careless about this. Thank you, my third sister-in-law, for helping me relieve my troubles."
"Fourth brother and sister, if you are careful to examine Lu's mother tonight, you will definitely get something." Chen Danxia smiled faintly, "Okay, fourth brother and sister, let's go back to the flower hall."
When Peng Xin saw Chen Danxia and Sun Zhenniang walking back from outside the flower hall together, their faces were as deep as water, and their expressions were even more ugly than when they went out, she couldn't help but smile proudly again. The clever woman couldn't cook without rice. She looked at how they would prepare their faces today when the ingredients were all broken?
There was such a big mistake at the birthday party of father-in-law. What kind of face do they have to take charge of the Xu family’s gifts?
