I avoided the area where the maidservants were active and crept up to the roof. Prince Yue's words were very scary, but I carefully looked around for a long time and didn't see any bodyguards.
/p
I guessed that the prince had been on a campaign for a long time, so it was inevitable that he would be paranoid. He even thought that there was something in the roof beam. Thinking like this, my courage grew. In the middle of the day, I dared to lie on the roof beam and lift a tile to see what was going on inside.
/p
In front of other people, eldest taitai really had the bearing of an official wife. She pulled Xian ce Fei's hand and carefully instructed her on the matters of a woman's bedroom. I listened carefully and heard something about some Spring (Harmony) Palace (Harmony) Album (Harmony) and some treasures at the bottom of the chest. Originally, it was something between a man and a woman, but as she spoke, the mood changed and it was related to me.
/p
"How is your second jiejie's health?"
/p
Xian ce fei was unconvinced. I guessed that she had served many times in front of da taitai at home. She had always been a high-ranking person in her Qing Yan fu. So now that there was no one around, she impolitely said: "Right now, jiejie is wang ye's favorite. With a cough, there will be a pile of yahuan and yahuan serving her. Wang ye dotes on her so much, how can it be my turn to care?"
/p
The eldest madam smiled with a benevolent appearance, but the words she said were not so polite, "Which memorial tablet do you belong to? What right do you have to say the word 'concern'? I only asked you to watch Princess Consort Yue. If there is any wind or grass, come back to the fu to report. "
/p
Consort Xian was greatly shocked. Her voice trembled as she replied, "Mother, you are asking me to be a spy. Mother, I am already a person of the Province Yue. If the prince finds out about this …"
/p
The eldest madam bluntly interrupted, "If you lose your chastity, you will become someone's person. Right now, you are holed up in your remote little courtyard. Other than the maidservants, who can look at you? You should think about it carefully in your heart. How many days has it been since you married into the prince's fu? Can you get the prince to enter your courtyard? "
/p
Consort Xian bit her lip. Although she was angry, she didn't dare to speak.
/p
"It is difficult to be a woman. If you marry into the imperial family and become someone else's daughter-in-law, if you want to live happily, there are only two ways. One is to be favored by the prince, and the heavens take pity on you to give birth to a son. With a son by your side, there is hope in the future.. But if you don't have the feelings of the prince, and accumulation, even burning incense incense sticks of the first incense..........
/p
In the end, Consort Xian was an inexperienced person. When she heard these words, her mind trembled. She covered her heart and shouted, "No!"
/p
The eldest madam felt that her words were too harsh. At this moment, she softened her tone and said, "I usually don't like to go out, but I have heard a few words about the outside world. That Prince Yue is young and his face is damaged, but he is a capable person who fought on the battlefield. This kind of man is not fickle in love. Unless it is fate like Princess Consort Yue, if you want to obtain his love, it is extremely difficult."
/p
Consort Xian estimated that her future days would be filled with bitter wind and rain. She could only kneel and kowtow to the eldest madam. She sobbed, "Mother, please show me the way. Yunxian is willing to wait for you day and night."
/p
The eldest madam signaled the head maidservant Shuang Yan to pull Consort Xian up. She personally picked up an old carved mahogany chair and helped her sit down. She said earnestly, "You are the girl I raised. Compared to Princess Consort Yue, you and I are more than a hundred times closer. Since we can't count on Prince Yue's favor, you still have your maiden family! Using your maiden family's background to gain a foothold in the prince's household is also a feasible method. "
/p
But first, your maiden family is willing to stand up for you in the prince's household.
/p
Consort Xian was still worried, "Although my maiden family is good, if I have to rely on my maiden family for everything, what will happen to the prince …" p
/p
The eldest madam patted Tang Yunxian's small hand. She lowered her head and sighed a few times before saying, "Silly girl, how can these two paths be parallel? If the prince dotes on you, then why do you need your maiden family to stand up for you? Since the prince doesn't dote on you, why do you care about the prince's attitude? "
/p
The eldest madam's words were really brainwashing. Consort Xian didn't have anything to say. She just kept crying and sobbing, "Daughter doesn't have the ability to win the prince's heart. I also lost face for mother."
/p
"We are a family, don't say such things."
/p
Consort Xian cried and showed her loyalty, "Daughter will follow mother's decision."
/p
"This is mother's good daughter."
/p
I carefully listened to the intimate words of the mother and daughter. I heard the eldest madam say, "Moreover, the prince has caused trouble this time. Do you know about the Sun family's lawsuit?"
/p
This sentence shocked me, and I remembered the scene of the courtyard full of skeletons baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
/p
However, I did tell Consort Xian about the Sun family's lawsuit. The purpose was to see if she knew about this scheme. Now, it seemed that Consort Xian didn't know anything. But the eldest madam in the inner court of the Prime Minister's Office probably already knew about this matter.
/p
Consort Xian's eyes reddened. She was the one who arranged the marriage. Although they weren't fated to be husband and wife, she still had some regrets. Now that the Sun family had met with a disaster, she had become a concubine in the prince's residence. The difference was like a natural chasm, and it hit her weak and soft little heart. "Daughter once heard Princess Consort Yue talk about it. Her home was destroyed by bandits, and she died. Daughter was grateful, so I set up a small hall in the courtyard. Every day, I pray to Buddha, so that they can ascend to paradise early. "
/p
She was smart. When the eldest madam appeared to others, she always had a good temperament (harmony, actually I don't understand why this need to be harmonious). Now that she also set up a Buddha hall, it was just to cater to her taste.
/p
But ….. stupidity was true stupidity.
/p
As expected, the eldest madam slapped the table and angrily said, "Foolish, you are a concubine married to a prince. What status do you have to burn incense and pray to Buddha for another family's man? This is the same as an unmarried young lady meeting a poor scholar in the courtyard at night. If this gets out, it is a great crime of not following the virtues of a woman! You are so stupid, if you say it, it is like putting a knife to your neck. This is a stupid method of seeking your own death. How can your family help you? "
/p
Consort Xian had just sat down when she stood up again in a panic. She lamented, "Daughter is stupid."
/p
The eldest madam lost her patience from her crying. She waved her hand and said, "Look at you. You used to be a clever girl, how did you become like this ….. Let me ask you, do you have any servants by your side?"
/p
"There are two maidservants from the manor that came with me. I'm not familiar with them, so I kept them by my side. The prince said that I didn't have enough people by my side to serve me, so he had the nanny bring in a group of maidservants. Daughter picked two clever ones to be placed in the room as second class maidservants. The rest are placed in the courtyard. "
/p
The First Madam's face fell again. "There are other people in the house, and you dare to set up a temple to offer sacrifices to other people … Quickly remove your ancestral temple. If it reaches the Prince's ears, I'm afraid he will blame you again."
/p
"Yes."
/p
"Also, the room must be filled with your own people. Since the two maidservants were sent by the prince, giving them a second class title can be considered giving them a proper status. You must not let them be close to you."
/p
Consort Xian said, "Princess Consort Yue said today that she would send my personal maidservants over. These maidservants were brought out by daughter from the manor. Daughter knows them well since Xiao Yi. In the future, daughter will only put them in the room."
/p
The eldest madam's words were powerful and resonant, "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that someone will betray me. Princess Consort Yue is now married. I don't know when, but her brain has opened up. The words you secretly said to the matriarch in the courtyard today, you can't find any fault with your sharp tongue. Anyone who heard it would have to stand on her side ….."
/p
When I heard this, I couldn't help but curl my lips. She said it as if my silver tongue had twisted the truth. In the end, wasn't I in the right? The Prime Minister's Office was being unreasonable. This kind of trick actually involved the Consort Xian. It was clear that her brain wasn't very bright.
/p
I heard the eldest madam continue, "They were able to walk out of Princess Consort Yue's room unscathed. Presumably, they were treated well by them. It was useless to abandon them, so they were sent back to your place. Do you still dare to believe in the loyalty of a good general who defected to the enemy? You'd better grow some brains. "
/p
At this moment, the Consort Xian didn't dare to say anything. She could only shrink back and pretend to be a quail.
/p
"The Sun family isn't a blessed family. Your father often told me that the Sun family's eldest son had an extraordinary aura and was someone who could be trusted. Coupled with his outstanding ability, if he had the support of the family in the future, he would have been a powerful official. It's a pity that he offended the royal family and suffered such a calamity ….."
/p
I was stunned. The Consort Xian was also stunned. She bit her lips and asked in a voice as soft as a mosquito's, "This ….. could it be ….."
/p
The Eldest Madam nodded her head solemnly. She played with two pearls on her fingers and sighed deeply. "Prince Yue always suspected that our family changed his Wangfei, so he forcefully married you. Later, he was so angry at the Sun family that he couldn't bear to see the wedding, so …"
/p
This pause was cleverly used, perhaps similar to the storytellers in the restaurants outside, doing their best to whet the appetite of the listener. Unfortunately, this young lady had never heard of storytelling before, so she could not solve the torment of not knowing what to say next. She could only follow his wishes and hastily asked, "Didn't they say that the mountain bandits were washing the door? How did they offend Prince Yue?"
/p
"If it wasn't for the help of a noble person, how could those mountain bandits who hid in the mountains and didn't dare to show their faces dare to attack the family at the foot of the imperial city?"
/p
The Consort Xian said, "Mother, you can't say these things even at home. If someone pointed out a mistake in slander, the whole family wouldn't have the face to go out."
/p
The eldest madam sneered, "Then you just wait and see."
/p
The mother and daughter finally finished their private conversation. I finally understood where the Consort Xian's ability to slander others came from. It was impossible not to learn how to exaggerate with words.
/p
Before leaving, the Consort Xian took a few steps, but couldn't help but turn back. She hesitantly asked, "Mother, is it true that the bride was switched?"
/p
I guessed that this young lady already had an idea. She just wanted to hear it from her own mouth.
/p
The eldest madam didn't answer directly. Instead, she asked, "Do you trust the prince, or do you trust your family?"
/p
With the previous conversation, the eldest madam had already cut off the way for her to trust the prince. Now, this wasn't a question of the truth. The truth had already been covered by the Emperor's imperial edict. Whoever talked about it would be slapping the Emperor's face. This question was a question of which side to choose. After this, how could Consort Xian dare to ask again?
