C126 Seeing the Princess's Wives come to visit (Next)

Mu Rong couldn't help but say, "I didn't know that Wei'er could be so capable at home. It can be seen that this girl's family is similar to a man's family. Only when she's married will she grow up."

When she said this, even Lady Ji could tell that it was not normal. Lady Helan said that her daughter was spoiled at home, and couldn't do anything good, and this humility could only be said by her mother. If others said it, it would mean that Xu Mingwei was really unkind at home, and had ruined her reputation.

Lady Helan frowned, but before she could say anything, fourth wife fanned herself and laughed, "Third sister in law is obviously only a saint book, you don't need to hear anything from outside. The Winter Solstice and the New Year before Viv left, which of them hadn't done it together? Didn't you praise Mei and Wei'er for choosing such a good utensil and placing it in a white jade bowl?

Lady Liang's words not only made everything round towards Xu Mingwei, but also praised him without leaving a trace. Not only did it bring him the benefits of the Prince Consort, it also brought him favor from the Lady Helan.

Née Wang was laughing inwardly. The four daughter-in-law in the house, two of them together, was a big show. Now that they had gathered together, it was quite lively! The Xu family's three rooms s had long heard that she was a scoundrel, and now that they had met, it turned out that the fourth wife s only knew that she was born into a family, and weren't too proud of it. At least on the surface, she was still willing to protect the reputation of his family.

Xu Mingwei watched the experts of Lady Helan fight to her heart's content. She probably agreed with the phrase "fighting with others". There were three or five hidden talents in the conversation, so they couldn't help but laugh at him. However, no one disliked the tiredness of this roundabout way of speaking. If you retort me, I will return a smile. However, for those who are high and mighty, they will secretly grit their teeth in hatred. If she learned from the straightforward manner in which that shrew scolded people, it would be called losing her position in the inner chamber, which was so vulgar that it would make people look down on him.

The Mu Rong was choked up by the Lady Liang. She had originally used the phrase "all you care about is the Holy Book, don't listen to other people's business." to say that the students were focused on studying, but when it came to herself who couldn't be tested, it was clearly meant to ridicule her for not being able to understand the affairs of the concubines. Just as they were about to argue their way back, a voice came out from the palace, saying that from time to time, Prince Consort would come and ask everyone to fix their clothes.

There was a small commotion in the parlour, and the maidservants hurriedly went up to check on the lords' clothing, even pinching the hem of their skirts. Lady Ji couldn't help but think that these wives didn't think much of her in the past, but now they had to be respectful to her daughter.

Everyone quickly stood up, bowed their heads, and greeted him. Not long after, they heard the clear sound of the Celestial Jade Annulus colliding with each other and smelt the fragrance of fresh wood and pear. As the silk spun around, a familiar gentle voice could be heard, "We are all family, so there is no need to be so courteous. Ladies, please get up."

Only then did Xu Mingwei follow the crowd and stood up, raising her eyes slightly to look at the person in his seat. They just saw that Xu Mingmei was wearing a treasure red muslin dress that covered her shoulders and waist. Although it was layered, it did not look bloated, it was extremely good as it covered her stomach. If she hadn't known beforehand that she was already three months pregnant, Xu Mingwei would have thought that she had only gotten slightly fatter.

It was not only Xu Mingwei, but the others were also secretly sizing up Xu Mingmei. Only Lady Ji was looking straight at her. The female official who was standing beside Xu Mingmei frowned, but she knew who was standing below, so she did not make a sound. In her heart, she thought, this was indeed a family that was born into a merchant, who did not know the rules, and acted in such a frivolous manner.

Xu Mingmei was not like the ignorant girl from before. Seeing the Lady Ji looking at her without knowing how to avoid her, she knew that it was impossible for the truth to come out, so she smiled at the crowd and said with a slightly flushed face, "Ladies and gentlemen, please bear in mind that I have to visit your house personally. I am grateful for your kindness in my heart."

Naturally, no one dared to accept her bow. Turning their bodies, they half bowed, and only Lady Ji stood up and took it. This made the female official at the side frown.

The Lady Helan was the closest to her, so she reminded her about it. But the latter pretended not to see it, and continued to do as she was told. Lady Wang turned her face to look at Lady Jiao, who was also looking at her. The two exchanged a sarcastic smile. Xu Mingwei stood beside the two of them and felt embarrassed for Lady Ji.

It was a good thing that Xu Mingmei made everyone sit down, talking about her own personal matters, occasionally talking about her own situation, and not bothering to talk about it, she finally did not embarrass herself again.

After talking for three rounds, the female official reminded Xu Mingmei not to be greedy and be excited. Everyone here were smart, who didn't know that this was meant to send them off, they stood up and advised Xu Mingmei to rest for a bit. However, Lady Ji was not willing to disperse just like that. Her words actually meant that she wanted to stay and continue with some advice to Xu Mingmei.

In front of everyone, it was difficult for Xu Mingmei to hit back at her mother, she smiled and kept the guest, which made the female official even more dissatisfied with Lady Ji. Once she married into the imperial family, she would become the wife of the imperial family. Even if she was from the family of parents, there would always be guests. Xu Mingmei had only seen her family once today, and it was also because the Second Prince had forgiven her for getting married. It was also the first time she was pregnant with a child, so she specifically reported to the Inner Palace to get permission from Chen Xiang. It was not impossible for them to meet privately, but looking at the situation today, Lady Ji had gone overboard.

Xu Mingmei endured it in her heart, and let the maids escort the wives of the Xu and Fu Clans out. When the only people left in the room were her and Lady Ji, the first thing Lady Ji said was not to ask if she was doing well or how the Second Prince treated her, but rather to ask Xu Mingmei.

Xu Mingmei's cold face was full of disappointment. She should have thought of this long ago, right? She just couldn't learn to be a good boy, and even had such fantasies about the Lady Ji.

In the past when she was at home, her mother would always treat her as grass, never caring in the slightest. Now that she was married, her position was very high, and her mother finally looked at her directly. However, that posture … He simply thought of her as a tool that could make up for his past and enhance his own identity. For example, a hairpin that came from an ancient pavilion, or a string of East Pearls from the South Sea.

Xu Mingmei gently stroked her belly, and said indifferently, "The month is still young, how can you tell if it's a man or a woman? Besides, what's the difference between a man and a woman in a family like ours? It wasn't that he couldn't support her, but that her father still hoped for her to be his daughter. Let's just say that his father and I are still young. We still have a son, so there's no need to be anxious. "

The Lady Ji continued to talk about the benefits of having a son for half a day while holding Xu Mingmei's hand, about how there was hope for the future and about how he would be able to obtain the happiness of the Emperor, to the point where he even almost blurted out those outrageous words. Fortunately, Xu Mingmei had covered her mouth in time, and berated, "Mother, what nonsense are you spouting? If it wasn't for the fact that there's no one in the house right now, I would really think that you wanted to frame Ying Shao. "

Lady Ji was scolded by her, she was momentarily stunned, but she was not so confused that she could not understand what others were saying. She knew that she had said the wrong thing, but she was unwilling to give in due to her pride, and said stubbornly, "What are you afraid of, the entire Prince's Mansion is yours, what is there to be afraid of! Furthermore, I did not say all that to you just for your sake. "

Xu Mingmei didn't think before, but now that she looked at his own mother, she felt that she couldn't use her own hands anymore. Talking to her was boring and tiring, even the feelings of admiration she had for her had been completely dispersed. Even though she said that it was for her own good, she was actually doing it for that child in the family, wasn't she?! Xu Mingmei was dispirited, and lazily spoke with her. After saying that she was tired, she invited the female inner servant to send him off.

Wan Feng followed behind the servant that was sending off the guests. Seeing that, he did not even blink her eyes, and went back to report to Xu Mingmei with a plain face.

When Xu Mingwei heard it, she could only smile and agree with it a little. This time, she was not able to speak with Sixth Sister in private, and did not even speak with her mother. It was such a pity.

But what made her feel at ease was, Xu Mingmei's complexion seemed to be not bad. When a woman's life was good, her eyes and manner could tell others everything. It seemed that the Second Prince had treated her quite well. After all, he had chosen to enter the Prince Consort, so it was likely that he would be more satisfied than a bride who had been married into a blind marriage.

Xu Mingwei suddenly remembered that the Second Prince's age, seemed to be one or two years younger than her, a junior high school student! She was going to be a father. How could it be a word!
