Chapter 75 Prince Gong's Mansion

Chapter 75 Prince Gong's Mansion
After dinner here, the old lady took a closer look at the girls' attire, and found that they were all very decent. The fifth girl was scolded once, and she was acting like a human being with her tail between her legs, and the two nuns from the palace put in a lot of effort. How dare you touch the eyebrows of the old lady, this one is also dressed up brightly.

The rest of the girls are also wearing the big clothes they made this winter when they go out. The girls have their own temperament at this stop, and they are "beauties flying down from the moon palace"!In addition to the stunningly beautiful Susu, it's no wonder that the eldest young lady said she was dazzled!

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, and saw Su Sulian's blue squirrel cloak in the blink of an eye, and said to Mrs. Shizi: "The day she came home, the cloaks I made this winter were either lotus green or bamboo green, and now they are big It’s a girl, it’s better to wear something brighter. Turn around and ask the sewing room to make her a gorilla felt from my order, and save it for the New Year!”

The eldest young lady smiled and said: "Why don't you use the grandmother's example, you can also ask your granddaughter-in-law to sell Susu, and later Susu will design a set of eye-catching jewelry for me, and I will show off when I go back to my mother's house during the New Year. Grandma knows that Susu products must be high-quality goods!"

In fact, how can Susu lack a cloak, Susu has acquired a lot of high-quality leather and leather in the past few years, but now that the old lady and the young lady are making faces for her, she is naturally grateful for Dade's thanks!
The two cousin girls who were not very familiar with Susu once again saw how much their grandmother valued and defended Susu, and they had a high opinion of Susu again in their hearts!

And Miss Wu's hands shrunk into her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, she was so anxious!However, the Buddhist scriptures these days were not read for nothing, and she soon came to her senses, thinking of the letter from her aunt, she knew that if she wanted to be sent back to Yangzhou now, if she wanted a good marriage, she could only play it safe and fight desperately grandmother.

As for Susu, no matter how good she looks, she is just a maid, and she is still a maid who doesn't know if she can give birth to a child, and she will have her own time to watch the fun in the future!
After dinner, the girls went back to their houses, redressed and touched up their makeup.

Taking advantage of this time, Susu also went back to the room for dinner, and packed out a small bundle, and handed it to Ming Yu. Inside was a set of spare clothes and a dressing box. After packing, Susu went to the main room, followed After listening to the old lady and Mrs. Shizi's instructions, all the girls got into the soft sedan chair and left the mansion.

There are carriages waiting outside the mansion, the first two are the eight-treasure chariots with green cover and pearl tassels, one for the three sisters of the Song family, and one for the two cousin girls and Susu.

A few black-painted carriages followed behind, for the women and maids who followed.

After the master and his servants sat down, the coachman raised his whip, and with a crisp sound, he set off.

Prince Gong's Mansion is on the second ring road of the capital, only a 10-minute drive from the imperial palace.It takes about half an hour from Shun'anbo Mansion to Prince Gong's Mansion.

In the car, Miss Zhao Biao chirped like a little sparrow.For a while, I want to pick up the curtain to see the outside, for a while, I guess how Prince Gong's mansion is, and for a while, I talk about the prosperity of the capital.

Calling the capital, the little girl has not been out of the house yet, and because of her young age, Susu and Sun Fangqing are not willing to restrain her, they all listen to her with smiles, and reply a few words from time to time, let that small mouth say something I'm even happier.

Cousin Sun said with some helplessness: "I really should let you and my sixth cousin ride in the same car, so that you two can finish what you want to say, and you should be quieter when you arrive at the palace."

Miss Zhao Biao giggled, "Good sister, don't worry, I won't disgrace my grandmother."

Prince Xian Gong was the same mother and younger brother of the late Emperor, and because he was ten years younger, he was treated like a half son.During the late Emperor's reign, the battle for the throne was fierce. Except for this one brother from the same mother, there were not many brothers and sisters left.

As soon as the first emperor came to the throne, he named his younger brother Prince Gong, and now he succeeds to the throne with the title of prince, hoping to double the salary of king and noble.Five years ago, Prince Gong passed away.The eldest son succeeds to the throne, who is now Prince Gong.

Now this Prince Gong is not very good because of his small body, he has never asked about government affairs, and only likes romantic and intoxicated beauties.Today, he takes good care of this cousin and allows him not to descend to the noble.

In addition to the main concubine, Prince Gong's mansion is full of four side concubines and eight concubines. There are also some concubines and concubines, but there are not many heirs.

After thirteen years of marriage, the only concubine under her knees is Princess Qingning, a prostitute.The princess has not been able to give birth to a son for many years, so naturally she cannot prevent others from having children.Therefore, there are two concubine sons and two concubine daughters in the palace.

In Prince Gong's mansion, due to the weak power of the princess, there was fierce internal fighting in the backyard. The princess also sat down three times before and after, but it was all because of the house fight in the backyard that she couldn't keep it.If it wasn't for Prince Gong and Princess Concubine, she wouldn't be confused and would support her daughter-in-law!The princess is afraid that even the bones and dregs are gone now.

"Princess Gong has been married for many years, and she has a child like Princess Qingning. She protects her like an eyeball. But I heard from Miss Six that the princess has a very generous temperament. I don't like those who are submissive and unconscionable. One. The granddaughter of Princess Changlong—Mr. Shen from Pingshunbo’s Mansion will also come. I heard that she has the most gentle temperament. Both of them are on good terms with Miss Zhao Jiu, the natal sister of our family’s wife, yes Miss Six also likes it very much. Miss Zhao Biao plays with Miss Six, so you don't have to worry so much."

Susu saw that Biao Sun was worried, so she told her the news about the fourth and sixth girls.

Only then did Sun Fangqing feel relieved, and pulled Su Su and said, "My dear sister, if there is anything we don't do well, please ask my sister to teach us. Previously at home, I only thought that Suyang and Yangzhou were the most prosperous places in the world. It was only after entering the capital that I realized that I was just a frog in a well! No wonder my mother repeatedly asked to follow my grandmother to open my eyes."

Although the grandson girl is about the same size as the fifth girl, she speaks and treats people better than the fifth girl.

Su Su said softly: "I dare not say the word 'teach', because the two girls think highly of Susu. The old lady loves the younger generation the most, and the girls just ask if there is anything."

While speaking, Prince Gong's Mansion is not far away.Several carriages were parked in front of the gate.

When the Song family got out of the carriage, they saw the girl from the Zhao family coming down from the carriage first.

Miss Zhao Jiu was looking around with a white fox fur muff wrapped around her. When she saw the Song family, she smiled and said, "I wondered if it was your house, but I came here!" The girl chattered non-stop.

The two hadn't seen each other for more than a month since they parted at Prince Ke's Mansion, so they had a lot to say!
Four girls came to the Zhao family today, Miss Zhao Liu was the oldest among them, she was about the same age as the fourth girl of the Song family.Glancing at the nanny in charge next to the concubine who was waiting next to her, and then at the very lively younger sister, she said helplessly: "If you have anything to say, we can wait until you enter the palace. It's not good to ask the princess to wait!"

Miss Zhao Jiu waved her hand, "Where is Qingning such a stingy person?" However, Miss Liu and Miss Zhao Biao got on the emerald green silk cart prepared by the palace.

The sixth girl Zhao smiled at the fourth girl, and also pulled the seventh and eighth sisters into another car.The fourth girl looked at the remaining two cars, and said: "I will go with the fifth sister, and my cousin Fangqing will go with Susu."

This is Susu's second visit to Prince Gong's mansion. Last time, Prince Gong's concubine sent a message to the old lady. Susu came with the old lady as a servant girl, and she also got a pair of jade bracelets from the princess. Then he rewarded a pair of gold hairpins.

I didn't see Princess Qingning at that time, but I heard that she had entered the palace.

Since ascending to the throne, Prince Gong's mansion can be said to be full of flowers and brocades, and the fire is cooking oil.Not only because the emperor and the current Prince Gong are cousins, but also because of the current queen mother.

Today's empress dowager is not Jinshang's biological mother. Jinshang's biological mother is just the daughter of an ordinary official family. She is not handsome, but her figure is plump and round. She was able to stay in the draft because the former emperor's heirs were not abundant at that time. , the first queen mother said that she was easy to give birth at first sight, so she was named the last talent, and the first queen mother gave her a title-Yi.

Sure enough, this talented man lived up to his reputation for being good at giving birth. He conceived after a night of sleeping, and even became a man in one fell swoop, giving birth to the second son of the late emperor.

But at that time, there was Queen Shude in the harem who was the mother of the world, the precious concubine who gave birth to the first prince, and the beautiful concubine Li who was pregnant with dragon descendants. However, being promoted to the second class of nobles, he has no right to raise the prince, so the second prince was raised by the concubine Shu at the time when he was born.Afterwards, this Yigui man had dystocia during childbirth two years later, and he died twice.

The second prince didn't have a deep impression of his biological mother, but Concubine Shu, who had no children, loved her very much.After the second prince Rongwang ascended the throne, he first made his adoptive mother Concubine Shu the Empress Dowager Shuren, and then made his biological mother the Empress Dowager Ciren.

Empress Dowager Shuren was born in Rongxianhou's Mansion, one of the six founding marquises, and now Rongxianhou is the empress dowager's own nephew.The Empress Dowager's older brother, Lord Hou, is still alive and has been conferred the title of Cheng En Gong by the emperor.The Rongxianhou's mansion, which was gradually declining, burst out with new vitality because of its accession to the throne and Concubine Shu's appointment as empress dowager.

Having said so much, I mainly want to say that Princess Gong came from Rongxianhou's Mansion and is the empress dowager's niece.The concubine's father, the queen mother, and Cheng Engong are direct brothers and sisters of the same mother. The queen mother loves the niece of the concubine and the grandniece of Princess Qingning very much.

Previously, as an unfavorable concubine, even if she was one of the four concubines, she couldn't give her niece much care, but being a queen mother is different.Prince Gong spent a lot more time resting in the concubine's courtyard, and the concubine's life was also much easier. The only regret was that he did not have a son.

The emerald green silk cart stopped at the second gate, and Tao Nai, the maid in charge of the princess, led a group of servants to welcome the girls.

Nanny Tao is the nurturing nun awarded to Princess Qingning by Concubine Shu as Empress Dowager. She was originally a female official of Shangyi Bureau, ranked fifth.

Although the Song family also invited the maids in the palace to teach the girls etiquette and rules, they are incomparable with Tao Nanny. Those who can be courteous female officials are in charge of the etiquette teaching of the entire harem. model.

Mother Tao was only about forty, she looked younger, and she was wearing a white jacket with a stand-up collar.The bottom is a light gray embroidered horse-face skirt, and the outer cover is a squirrel double-breasted squirrel skirt with a maroon inlaid collar and snow-green dark pattern silk.

A neat round bun was combed on the back of the head, a red gold cloud wish hairpin was inserted, and a long emerald drop bead hairpin was inserted.There is a pair of snow-green embroidered daisies on the forehead, and a pair of small gourd-shaped hollow gold pendants on the ingot-like ears, and a smile on the face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze at first sight, and they are fond of it.

All the girls dare not neglect this Nanny Tao. Although she is no longer a Shangyi female official, her rank is still there.After meeting the salutes one after another, Nanny Tao also returned the salutations one by one, raising her hands and feet, the beaded hairpin on her head remained motionless, and the emerald jade around her waist remained silent, making Susu, the person she met for the second time, still full of emotion, " How did you practice this?" What a god!
