The concubine is amazing: the sturdy little princess

Chapter 44
The living room of Zuo Xiangfu was full of guests, the men were sitting in the outer room, and the women were sitting in the inner room.

The bustling voices outside could be heard from time to time into the inner room.

The current head of Zuo Xiangfu is Gao Mingqi's wife Shen Lin.Shen Lin sat with Zhu Yuqing, the wife of the Right Prime Minister, and several other high-ranking and powerful wives in the court.

Next to them, Gao Wanwan, as the married eldest lady of the Zuoxiang Mansion, was sitting with several other noble ladies.There are not many female relatives today.There are four tables.

"Big sister, you haven't been back since you got married, Ling'er misses you so much" Beside Gao Wanwan, the second young master of Zuo Xiangfu, Gao Lingling, daughter of her uncle's family, pouted and complained.

Gao Lingling is the daughter of Gao Wanwan's uncle Gao Minglan's concubine.Mrs. Gao Minglan passed away shortly after giving birth to her young master Gao Shuren.Gao Minglan never remarried, only a few concubines around her, and Gao Lingling was born of the most favored concubine Liu.Zuo Xiang's birthday, the concubine's status is low, can't get on the stage, only set up a few tables in the backyard, and add some extra dishes.

There are not many heirs in the Xiangfu, and it is precisely because of this that Gao Lingling, who is a concubine, is fortunate to be loved by the Xiangye.

"Elder sister can't get away either." Gao Wanwan smiled and patted Gao Lingling's hand, looking at Sun Aiyuan beside her from the corner of her eyes, jealousy and envy flashed in her eyes.She married into the Dongwang Mansion for three years and did not conceive a child.She, Sun Aiyuan, was lucky enough to conceive a child just after having sex with Dong Wang, which made her jealous and envious.

I heard that recently, the prince of her family always forgets to run around the Marquis's mansion. Every time she hears it, she hates it to death.She has not yet entered the mansion, and she is so favored. If she enters the mansion, will women like them still have a place to live?

"My lord has always wanted a child, but my stomach didn't live up to it. It was Miss Sun's stomach that won't let me down. I got pregnant in one go. I'm really envious." Gao Wanwan's envious eyes rested on Sun Aiyuan's belly that had already begun to show.

Sun Aiyuan smiled, gently stroking her abdomen with her right hand, her expression was gentle and maternal, "Bei Yu visits him every day, he is so young, Bei Yu likes him so much, until he is born, I don't know How can I pamper him?"

Gao Wanwan was jealous in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just said casually, "I don't know when my lord is going to welcome you into the mansion? The two sisters in the Hou's mansion work together, and it's a good story if it gets out."

Sun Aiyuan's face froze, and she lowered her eyes slightly, Gao Wanwan clearly did it on purpose.If she likes Dong Wang and has a relationship with Dong Wang in private, and if the pregnancy is spread by someone with a heart, her reputation will be ruined.

"It turns out that Miss Sun is pregnant with the child of Dongwang, who is my brother-in-law." Liu Manrou, the daughter of the right minister at the same table, said in surprise. Looking at Sun Aiyuan.Liu Manrou's voice was not loud, but the women in the room all had sharp ears, and each of them showed their original expressions when they heard the words.

Sun Aiyuan was so angry that she was going to die, but she had to put on a gentle expression on her face, "Bei Yu and I knew each other before the emperor gave us the marriage." The meaning behind the words was that it was Sun Xiaohu who robbed her sister. man.

"Second Miss Sun is really lucky," Gao Lingling said sadly.She likes Nan Wang Zhan Bei Qing.But the Prime Minister's Mansion and Nanwang's Mansion are in the same situation, Grandpa and the others will never let her marry Nanwang.Two years ago, my brother took her to a tea house to drink tea. It happened that King Nan was returning triumphantly from the border with an army of [-]. She still remembers him holding the long sword and pointing at the sky, his domineering words still echo in her mind.Just at one glance, she fell in love with him.

He married several wives, all of them died, and people said that he killed his wife, but she didn't think so, such a heroic man, how can ordinary women match him, it's better to die.

Outside the "Master Xiang", the left prime minister in his sixties, with the support of his second son Gao Minglan, slowly approached. He was dressed in crimson, with a smile on his wrinkled face.

Seeing him coming in, everyone stood up and bowed. A sense of pride arose in his heart. His identity and status were envied by others.

"Everyone, please sit down. It's my birthday today. You come to join me. I'm both ashamed and gratified. What I'm ashamed of is that I did what I should do for the country of Wu, for the emperor, and for the people. But I have to come here I feel ashamed, old man." Gao Mingsheng bowed his hands, his eyes were moist, and his voice came slowly.

The right minister, Liu Feifan, cursed secretly in his heart, the old fox knows how to play tricks.Who would dare not come for your birthday?In this court, people with higher official positions than you, except the emperor, are the four princes, even the Eastern King and the Southern King have come to celebrate your birthday, those with lower official positions, who dare not come, if they don’t come, they will wait in the future , you put on shoes for him.

Among the guests present, only Zhan Beiqing and Zhan Beiyu did not stand up, because they were distinguished and had higher positions than the left minister.

"Second brother, long time no see." Zhan Beiyu looked at Zhan Beiqing while holding the tea.Seeing that Zhan Beiqing's expression was not good, he already had some guesses in his heart.

"I met you in court yesterday." Zhan Beiqing didn't give him any face.When the first emperor was gone, the two just didn't like each other, not to mention, the death of Zhan Beiqing's mother and concubine was still somewhat related to Zhan Beiyu's mother.

Zhan Beiyu's face froze, the haze flashed past, and for a moment, Zhan Beiyu smiled, "Ever since the second brother came back from the battlefield, you and I have never had a drink together. Day, you and I, brothers, why don't you just drink to your heart's content"

"Okay." Zhan Beiqing glanced at Zhan Beiyu, and immediately agreed.Zhan Beiyu's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, doubts welling up in his heart, isn't it what he guessed?

"Master, you haven't completely recovered from the wind and cold, so you should avoid this wine." Yun San stood behind Zhan Beiqing, anxious in his heart, and had to remind him in a low voice.

"It's okay, I'm glad to meet big brother." Zhan Beiqing waved his hand, interrupting Yun San's words.Yun San had no choice but to stand there and worry.What if, what if the poison occurs again?
Yun San secretly scolded Zhan Beiyu in his heart, and then thought that the reason why his master came today was entirely because of the emperor's oral order.I scolded the emperor again and again in my heart.

Over there, Prime Minister Zuo had finished speaking, and brought his two sons to toast table by table.The servants also brought exquisite food to the table.All of a sudden, there was a lot of toasting, everyone was smiling and speaking hypocritical words.

"It's a pity, I only saw two princes today." Liu Manrou said regretfully, looking at the exquisite dish Yao, but lost her appetite.She was concerned about King Xi's battle with Bei Lei, thinking about Prime Minister Zuo's birthday, King Xi would come to celebrate, and after a lot of hard work, her father agreed to bring her here.She came happily, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see, and she was extremely disappointed.
