Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 283 Palace Banquet - Mrs. Zheng

But for all women, especially women in the palace, caring about beauty has become a part of their life. Even if they are old and their husbands have passed away, they still care about their age and beauty. They usually say that they are old. No one would take it seriously, let alone a joke, especially a woman like the Queen Mother, who would not flatter her?Sometimes she calls herself old, but in fact she wants people to praise her young in a disguised form. No matter what the situation is, she can't be sincere. However, Ling Jingxuan, who is an old woman when she speaks, has a filial appearance, which makes people He couldn't fault it, at most he was vulgar and he couldn't speak. Who dared to say that his thoughtful behavior and straightforward way of speaking were wrong?

All the concubines and concubines were dumbfounded, and no one could understand whether he was really stupid or pretending to be a deliberate one. Call him really stupid, except for speaking bluntly and rudely, he has no demeanor at all. For his sake, if you want to say what he pretended, those movements and language are so proficient and natural, there is no affectation at all, who is not a genius here?They are still very confident in this vision, and when they think about his background as a farmer in the countryside, they are even more sure.

The empress dowager was furious immediately, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching. Looking at Ling Jingxuan who was standing in front of him with a concerned face, she wished she could reach out and push him down the steps. Damn bastard, it's fine to say that her wife is still Dare to disguise herself and curse her that she will become a blind old woman in the future, but in front of so many people, she can't do anything to him, otherwise, the virtuous reputation she has accumulated throughout her life may be ruined.

On the other side, Chu Yunhan looked at his nose, nose, and heart. He still had the cold and lonely look. However, only he knew that he was almost hurt from laughing. Jingxuan is worthy of being Jingxuan. The Queen Mother trembled with anger at the words, I am afraid it will be more interesting next time, right?

Princess Huajun, who was also standing next to the queen mother, looked at Ling Jingxuan for the first time. How could he not know the famous Princess Cheng?Not only outside, but there are also rumors about him in the county prince's mansion these days. It's hard for him to know. A little bit, where does he look like a countryman?

"Queen Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are the muscles at the corners of your mouth twitching non-stop? Is there some discomfort? I also have some medical skills, why don't you let me show you? Elderly people are most likely to suffer from brain congestion, extremities, etc. Stiffness or something, I think your symptoms are a bit like the initial symptoms of epilepsy."

As if he was afraid that she would not be angry enough, Ling Jingxuan leaned closer with concern, obviously he was so angry that he convulsed, but he made him say that he was epileptic, and the queen mother was out of breath, but He still looked filial, and he couldn't find any faults. It didn't make her angry, and it didn't matter if she didn't. After a long time, he pushed him away bluntly: "Aijia is fine, Princess Cheng, please go down, Aijia I've seen it clearly."

The smile was still the same, still graceful and noble, but almost every word she said was squeezed out between her teeth, which really made her angry and blamed him, Ling Jingxuan felt that it was enough, Clapping his hands, he turned around quickly, and returned to his seat with a calm gait. The atmosphere at the scene couldn't help but feel a little suffocated. The queen mother was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while. Others hated Ling Jingxuan with the queen mother, and some were curious about him Yes, most of them are contemptuous, but Ling Jingxuan doesn't care at all, he doesn't say anything when others don't talk, seeing that the tea and snacks on the table are not bad, he just ate it generously, and didn't forget to pull up the stand Ye Ruyun who was behind him ate together.

"Push!"

There was a sudden flutter from high above, and then, a pleasant voice like a silver bell sounded suddenly, ignoring everyone's surprise, Princess Huajun strode towards Ling Jingxuan, and stood in front of him loudly: "You are very much like my concubine's family. , Benfei likes you."

It's not big or small, everyone doesn't feel their foreheads hurting, and they wish someone would show up and take these two monsters away, lest they continue to cause harm to the world.

"Oh? Is that Princess Huajun? I heard that we are still neighbors. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. The princess of the county is welcome to come to the palace to play at any time. Our family has a few cute big babies, and the princess of the county should like it."

Zheng worried that he couldn't find a chance to make friends with him, Ling Jingxuan sent out an invitation decisively, Princess Huajun always wanted to come out as soon as she came out, seeing this, she even asked the eunuch to bring him a chair to sit next to him , pulled him and chirped: "Oh? Then this concubine has to go, what kind of treasure is it?"

Ordinary people, how can they still make friends with the Queen Mother when they know that they don't like it?Except for Princess Huajun who does her own way, there is probably no other one. You know, his move is undoubtedly to tell everyone present that he and Ling Jingxuan are standing together, let alone other people, even Chu Yunhan. He couldn't help being curious, of course, what he was curious about was not the attitude of Princess Huajun, but Ling Jingxuan, he is not a person who is easy to make friends with, especially Princess Huajun, who is the most likely to cause trouble, his intuition told him, respect Xuan is afraid that there is some purpose.

"It's nothing, just the pets of the two children, a few adult giant wolves and two cute pandas. The western land is barren, with a lot of grasslands, rich in wolves. Princess Huajun comes from the western land, so she will definitely like them."

He has studied the geography of this world a long time ago. The Qing Dynasty is somewhat similar to the coastal areas of the ancient Huaxia Kingdom. It is a country with rich real estate. However, there are still few beneficial resources developed so far, so the national power is not as good as that of the Eastern Kingdom. It is more like in the southeastern region with a warm climate, where agriculture and other industries are relatively mature. As for the Western Kingdom, that is, the Western Regions, compared with the northern nomads in the thousands of miles of grassland and desert, most of their land area is grassland, which is rich in many special The climate is relatively mild, and the people can be soldiers when they mount a horse, and they can be ordinary people when they dismount. In addition to farming and doing business, they are also natural hunters, because wolves often appear on the grasslands, and Westerners almost every day. They are all young experts in archery, and the wolf is their friend. The totem of Xiguo is a fierce wolf, so he thinks that Huajun Princess should like their wolf father and Dahei Xiaohei.

"A child's pet??"

But to his surprise, the smile on Princess Huajun's face collapsed in an instant, as if she didn't hear what he said later, she was only entangled in the word "children", thinking about what Zeng Shaoqing once said, King Huajun His eldest son contracted a strange disease two years ago, and his skin was like willow bark. Ling Jingxuan's eyes flickered, and Ning Sheng wanted to tell him that he might be able to cure the child, but the Queen Mother's voice suddenly rang out.

"Princess Cheng, the Ai family heard that you emptied the palace as soon as you came, is there such a thing?"

Annoying old hag!A look of displeasure flashed quickly in the narrow and charming Danfeng eyes, Ling Jingxuan patted the back of Princess Huajun's hand to show comfort, raised his head and said with a smile: "Yes, Queen Mother, isn't it because our prince is not in Beijing all year round? You are welcome to treat yourself as the master, and even the concubine and the children are ignored, so the concubine naturally cannot tolerate them."

"Princess Cheng's words are a little bit of a cover-up for a crime, right? It's possible for one or two people to jump, how could it be possible that the whole backyard jumped together?"

It was not the queen mother who spoke, but an old woman sitting under the eldest princess. Seeing that she was wearing a first-grade official uniform, and she was old enough to wear heavy makeup like an old monster, Ling Jingxuan blinked her eyes and pretended to be puzzled. Said: "Dare to ask who this is?"

The old lady's face darkened in an instant, and she tightened her hand holding the leading cane, before she said bluntly after a while: "My husband is Duke Wen!"

In other words, she is the queen mother's natal family?No wonder she has such an arrogant attitude and dares to question him in front of his face.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Zheng. My concubine disagrees with what Mrs. Zheng said. You are not from my Prince Cheng's mansion. How could you know about my Prince Cheng's mansion? Or is it that Mrs. Zheng sent spies to sneak into Cheng?" Prince's Mansion?"

At the end, Dan Feng narrowed her eyes dangerously, Mrs. Zheng was taken aback, and then said angrily: "Princess, don't want to frame her indiscriminately, how could I do such a thing?"

Even if there was, she wouldn't dare to admit it in front of so many people. This kind of thing was tacitly understood by everyone, but this Princess Cheng was a different kind of thing. She always said these things outright. It made them a bit at a loss as masters of back-door fighting, and the previous methods just couldn't be used for some reason.

"Where did the old lady come from? Call yourself me in front of the emperor's aunt, really think that you have privileges when you are old?"

"The old woman dare not!"

Before Ling Jingxuan could get mad, Princess Huajun made a fuss first, who in the whole capital didn't know his notoriety?Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but her face darkened, she shook her head again and again, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help laughing secretly, is it really the wicked who need to be tortured by the wicked?These old ladies who think so highly of themselves are like grandchildren in front of the domineering and noble Princess Huajun. It's really ridiculous.

"Xiao Hua's daughter-in-law, don't be angry. After all, Mrs. Zheng is the younger brother and sister of the Queen Mother and her elders. She can also be regarded as the elder of my concubine. It's okay to call myself me."

The words Xiaohua's daughter-in-law sounded unpleasant, and it was even more vulgar to those present who claimed to be noble, but Princess Huajun burst into a smile in an instant. He has worked hard for so many years and constantly wronged himself. Is it to become Yan Xiaohua's good wife?So far, he prefers this unpretentious, fast-talking Aunt Nine Emperors.

Obviously he didn't expect that he would actually speak for him. Although it is unavoidable that one mouthful of an old man makes people feel a little uncomfortable, but there is no doubt that he is interceding for her. Mrs. Zheng opened her mouth slightly with a complex expression, but the next Seconds later, Ling Jingxuan's voice came back to mind, "However, the old lady does not treat herself as an outsider, and puts on airs of her elders in front of this concubine. This concubine doesn't care, but it is better for Mrs. Zheng not to intervene in the internal affairs of the palace, to put it bluntly. , That's my concubine's family affairs, whether it's right or wrong, it's up to this concubine, the mistress of the house, to rule. It's not up to outsiders to make irresponsible remarks. Hugh don’t even understand the reason why other people’s tiles are covered with frost? Does Mrs. Zheng dare to say that there is no right and wrong in your Zheng family’s backyard? If this concubine interferes with the affairs of your Zheng’s backyard without authorization, how do you feel?”

As he got to the end, Ling Jingxuan's tone became stricter. His sharp gaze not only focused on Mrs. Zheng, but also pointedly swept over all the people present. Normally, he had no objection to what they said behind his back, and his mouth grew on them. It is also impossible for him to sew them up one by one, but if they dare to point fingers in front of him, don't blame him for being rude, let alone her, even the queen mother can't intervene in the affairs of the palace.

Haven't you stepped in yet?

Mrs. Zheng couldn't say what she said, but she couldn't refute it. The beauties he sent to various families a few days ago had already made their backyards run wild. That's why she interrupted rashly. With Prince Sheng and the death of Zhu Yushi, their men dare not ask His Majesty to make decisions. Seeing him so stupid today, they thought they had a chance. Didn't they expect it? ?

Is he really stupid or fake stupid?

This is the common doubt in the hearts of all the people present. They ask themselves that they are also old foxes. They must have eyes for seeing people, but for some reason, they just can’t see through this Princess Sheng. question.
