810, shame
Zheng Wanli held a banquet to gain a foothold in Beijing and consolidate her identity, but things went against her wishes. Not only did she not let her identity as a concubine be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but she lost all her face, especially with Xu Ting's fuel, she lost even more thoroughly.
At the instigation of Xu Ting and Xu Yan, King Qing slapped Zheng Wanli and then shook his hand into the palace. Before entering the palace, he did not forget to order someone to send Li Fu back to the Li family with tears in his eyes. Li Fu walked by the person behind his back and showed a secret smile. It was really a wish that she could approach King Qing without doing anything.
Zheng Wanli, amid the ridiculed eyes of Xu Ting and Xu Yan, had already whispered by the onlookers, forced her face to be ashamed to the purple-red color, and sent all the guests back one by one, then she took off her disguise and showed anger. The maid carefully brewed hot tea, but was inevitably vented. The hot tea was poured down by the head of the bag, and the maid's face turned red, but she did not dare to scream, gritted her teeth and endured the pain.
Xu Shu returned to Zheng's family and talked to Mrs. Zheng Si about the farce that happened in Prince Qing's mansion today, and emphasized that Prince Qing threatened to depose Zheng Wanli, the concubine and had already entered the palace to file a lawsuit!
Mrs. Zheng Si sighed, "It's true, it's really not at all calm! Fortunately, it's not aimed at you!" But she was not interested in Zheng Wanli's intention to be deposed by King Qing, but she had a lot of feelings about Li Fu. "We met Miss Li in the Li family at the time, but she felt that she was too smart at that time. Now it seems that she is not just too smart!"
"So smart, when I entered Prince Qing's Mansion, I looked up and saw Concubine Zheng. There was such a thing as before... Haha..." Xu Shu smiled a little comfortable, "That's really exciting!"
Mrs. Zheng Si smiled knowingly and suddenly said, "Let's go to the old lady now. You will tell the old lady what happened in the Qing Palace today. Today, you went to the Qing Palace. Concubine Zheng lost such a big face again. Carefully, someone pushed you out to bear the old lady's anger!"
Xu Shu suddenly thought of a candidate, nodded, and didn't bother to change her clothes. She went to the room with Mrs. Zheng Si. Sure enough, someone took the lead in the old lady's place.
"Sister-in-law is rushing to pay tribute to the old lady as soon as she comes back!" Xu Shu said to Grandma Zheng with a smile.
Cai's face looked a little embarrassed, ignored Xu Shu's smile, and nodded to Mrs. Zheng Si, "Aunt Four!"
"Why are you here?" The old lady glanced at her and wrinkled slightly when she glanced over Xu Shu.
"Just just now, Xiaojiu told me that something happened in Prince Qing's Mansion today. I think my mother should listen to it too!"
The old lady's eyes flashed, "Oh? What happened? The eldest young lady was talking about this just now!"
"It turns out that the eldest young lady came here for this, so I'm doing this too much!" Mrs. Zheng Si smiled, "Since that's the case, let's listen to the eldest young lady, Xiaojiu and I will listen to it!"
Under the earnest gaze of Mrs. Zheng Si, Cai could only grit her teeth and tell what happened in Prince Qing's Mansion in its original state, and did not dare to add fuel to the fire at all.
When the old lady heard King Qing threatening to depose Zheng Wanli, she was so shocked that she immediately stood up, "Hurry up, I'm going to enter the palace!"
"Old lady, it's already so late..." Mrs. Zheng Si advised tactfully, the implication was that it was no longer the time to enter the palace.
The old lady couldn't care so much, "Didn't you hear the eldest young lady just say? King Qing has already entered the palace to complain. The Empress Dowager and the Deng family have always been incompatible with our family. If you have such an opportunity, why don't you hurry up and put down the blame and make the Deng family a laughing stock? How can I sit back and see what happened!"
The old lady insisted on her own, "Come on, change my clothes!" After that, the old lady didn't care about Mrs. Zheng Si and Grandma Zheng, and went back to the inner room. It was obvious that she was panicked by this matter.
Cai quickly stood up, his eyes flashed, and he didn't dare to look directly at Mrs. Zheng Si and Xu Shu, "Auntie Fourth, Sister Ninth, then... Then I... I'll go back first!"
Mrs. Zheng Si nodded with a smile, "Grandma Big Brother walks slowly!"
Cai immediately left in a hurry, which was a kind of embarrassment after being seen through.
"Let's go too!" Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head, "It's been a lot of trouble again!"
"It's okay, it's just a farce anyway! King Qing was still in the confinement period, so I'm afraid he couldn't even enter the palace gate!"
Regardless of King Qing or the Empress Dowager, Zheng Wanli was personally given to King Qing by the emperor. It was not that King Qing would depose him if he wanted to. King Qing could only complain to the Empress Dowager. When he arrived at the emperor, Zheng Wanli would only be unscathed, and at most he would give Li Fu a title to calm the dissatisfaction of the Empress Dowager.
"So at this time, we should use static to control our movements!" Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head and disagreed with the old lady's actions. When she heard Xu Shu talk about King Qing's deposed Zheng Wanli, she didn't care at all, because Mrs. Zheng Si also knew that Zheng Wanli would just be embarrassed and would not suffer any other losses.
"The Queen will be responsible, don't worry, Mother!"
"Yeah!" Mrs. Zheng Si nodded, "I discussed with your father today and decided to decide the marriage between your sixth brother and your cousin. Your father will go to the Qian family to propose marriage in a few days!"
"That's great!" As a result, the Qian sisters were going home to get married. No matter what Miss Qian Si had, she would not have the chance to reveal it.
"I just wanted to say something to the old lady, but I just don't care about it when I see that the old lady is like this, so that's all! Let me tell the old lady when the matter is settled!" Anyway, the old lady would not interfere too much in the matter of the fourth room. If Master Zheng Si goes to talk, the old lady would not mind that they will kill first and then report.
"Mother..." Xu Shu suddenly pulled Mrs. Zheng Si's sleeve, stopped and raised her chin to the side, "That seems to be the fifth sister-in-law..."
Mrs. Zheng Si looked up and saw Grandma Zheng Wu standing against the pillar under a thick shade of trees. Grandma Zheng Wu was alone, with no maid beside her. And although Grandma Zheng Wu turned her back to Xu Shu and Mrs. Zheng Si, she could still tell from the swaying of her shoulders that she was crying.
"Shh!" Mrs. Zheng Si booed, "Let's take a detour and stop arguing at her. Since she doesn't bring a maid, she runs to such a remote place alone and she is sad and crying. She just doesn't want others to know about it. If we pass by, it will only make her feel even more embarrassed!"
"Yeah!" Xu Shu nodded, "Is it because of what happened in Prince Qing's Mansion today that she was scolded by her third aunt?"
