A Scumbag Father Doting on His Concubine

 Xie Yunshu signaled An Tong to hand over the key box.

Aunt Hongling hurriedly took it and showed it to Concubine Xiang.

Concubine Xiang didn't care too much about her daughter-in-law's filial piety. She glanced at it and then looked away, without much interest.

"This is not a big deal. The Crown Princess has just returned to Beijing after a long journey. Why don't you take a rest first? There is no need to rush to deliver it to me."

"How can I dare to delay? The third brother and sister have repeatedly warned me to deliver it to the empress as early as possible. The third brother and sister said that if they were not worried about His Highness, they would also come back. They cannot return to the capital early to fulfill their filial piety in front of the empress. , the third brother and sister are very sorry."

Concubine Xiang suddenly became a little unhappy, and her smile became more and more superficial, "My daughter-in-law is a filial daughter-in-law! It's hard for you to speak for her!"

 “You’re welcome, Madam, as you should.”

 “Haha, yes, you and your sisters-in-law have a good relationship, which is a good thing!”

"Yes, the third younger brother and sister are of noble birth and well-informed. They treat people well and manage the house very well. They are not afraid of the queen's jokes. I have learned a lot from the third younger brother and sister."

After hearing this, Concubine Xiang became a little unhappy again, and her expression became even calmer, "The Crown Princess is very humble. The Lu family is pretty good. There are many things she needs to learn from the Crown Princess."

"Really?" Xie Yunshu smiled happily: "This is because the empress thinks highly of me!"

Concubine Xiang smiled and said, "The Crown Princess is tired from traveling and traveling, and it's hard to make this trip. It's hard for me to stay here too long. The Crown Princess should go back quickly and have a good rest!"

Xie Yunshu originally thought that Concubine Xiang would ask about the affairs of the third prince and his wife in the south of the Yangtze River and about their southern tour, but unexpectedly she issued an eviction order.

Then I thought about it again. Concubine Xiang has such a proud temper. The Emperor of the Southern Patrol left her in the palace without letting her accompany him. She might still be angry and feel that she has lost face. How could she show her disapproval? If you are interested in the Southern Tour, will you take the initiative to ask?

 She will only show that "I am not rare, so this is nothing!"

 “The queen is considerate and I have taken my leave.”

 “Go.”

As soon as Xie Yunshu left, Concubine Xiang's face darkened, and her tense face instantly elongated.

Aunt Hongling smiled and joked: "The third prince is indeed very filial to the empress. It's rare that she still wants to fulfill her filial piety to the empress even from afar!"

"Ha!" Concubine Xiang sneered and said sarcastically: "Don't you know in your heart what her plans are? Why do you say such things in front of me? If she really is a filial person, she will not stay in Hangzhou! I Gong Guan, she simply has ulterior motives!"

Concubine Xiang became more and more angry as she spoke, with cold eyes: "Thankfully, she was born as a lady and grew up in Prince Hui's palace, but she doesn't have the dignity of a noble girl! This is different without the guidance of parents. I, I thought she was a good person. If I had known this, I would have refused this marriage when I tried so hard to make the emperor unhappy! If Huai'er gets her into trouble in the future, I will never spare her!"

Aunt Hongling didn’t dare to say anything.

Concubine Xiang knew very well, where did this daughter-in-law stay in Jiangnan to take care of her son? With so many servants, how could she be used to take care of them? She was just jealous for a little bit!

She must have been afraid that her son would take a concubine in Jiangnan, so she had to stay. Worried about being laughed at, he asked the princess to bring something back for him.

Don’t you know that this is obviously trying to cover up the obvious!

Could it be that this shows her filial piety? Who can't see her thoughts? The Crown Princess almost taunted and made fun of her in front of her without even saying it openly!

She only cared about her own jealousy, but she didn't think about it. Wouldn't it be better if she returned to Beijing now and took the opportunity to make more connections and socialize?

 This is what a true good wife should do! It's not the calculation of a small family who is so angry that he can't stand the table. Concubine Xiang couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Before her son's wedding, although there were no concubines in the house, there were actually two maids serving in the house. However, less than a month after Lu's arrival, he sent away the two maids.

She felt a little uncomfortable at that time, but after all, they were just two palace maids, so she couldn't embarrass her daughter-in-law because of this, so she didn't say it openly, but just kept her cold for a few days and asked her to reflect on herself.

Unexpectedly, she has become worse now.

 What great things can a prince and concubine who cannot tolerate others accomplish?

This time when she comes back, she must teach her a lesson.

"Hong Ling, please ask someone to inquire. Mrs. Lu is too tired. I think it's time to give Huai'er two more people to serve her. This will save her, the third princess, from having to use this as an excuse to keep an eye on her husband. Price drop.”

Aunt Hongling was taken aback and couldn't help but persuade her: "My Lady, should we wait a little longer before talking about this? After all, the third prince's wedding to our Highness has not been long."

 What’s more important is that the third prince’s concubine’s temperament is probably a bit iffy.

 “Your Majesty, after all, you look after Prince Hui!”

Concubine Xiang said coldly: "She is the granddaughter of Prince Lao Hui. How can she not allow her husband to have people around her to serve her? What kind of logic is this! My son wants to see how she looks on her face, will she be wronged like this?"

"But-"

 “Just do as I say!”

Concubine Xiang had a cold face and an aggressive tone, "I am not afraid that she will make trouble, but I am afraid that she will not make trouble!"

　　When she started to make trouble, I took the opportunity to give her a good discipline, so as not to get confused.

Hong Ling knew that her master had a stubborn temper that no one could dissuade. The more he tried to persuade her, the angrier she would get. She had to smile and say, "My queen, please calm down. The princess is young. This is normal. This means that she has His Highness in her heart." , which is also a good thing.”

Concubine Xiang nodded casually, wondering if she had lost some of her energy.

Xie Yunshu left Concubine Xiang's place, thought about it, and went to Qiufang Pavilion, the second princess's palace.

Meng Yuxiu entered the palace with the second princess yesterday and was also placed in Qiufang Pavilion.

　　It is reasonable and reasonable for Xie Yunshu to visit Yi Er.

She is used to being worshiped by others in the palace, and the second princess is not a favored one in the palace. I am afraid that no one will take her companion seriously. Xie Yunshu went to visit her, so as to impress those in the palace. It seems to be somewhat restrained in the eyes.

 Xie Yunshu really caught up.

 The Qiufang Pavilion where the second princess lives is close to the Imperial Garden. Today the second princess took Meng Yuxiu around to show her the way.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yuxiu's handkerchief fell off, so she turned around to look for it. Unfortunately, she accidentally bumped into Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li was the second-class **** in charge of Concubine Xiang in the Yonghe Palace. As the third prince gained power and Sun Guiren fell, Concubine Xiang became the concubine with the highest status and qualifications in the palace. Naturally, everyone around her also improved. , walking sideways this time.
