So he was not in a hurry, and sat quietly on the side, carefully savoring the tea in his hand. Time passed bit by bit, and Shangguan Yi's tea was also finished.
At this time, it was Consort Dingdong who couldn't sit still. She looked at Shangguan Yi, who was beside her, and asked, "What should we do now? Do you have a good idea?"
Shangguan Yi slowly put down the teacup in her hand and looked at the princess who was anxiously staring at her. She told her plan that she had been preparing for a long time, and said with a smile,
"Isn't that simple? As long as you give her a show of strength and let her know your power, won't she listen to you in the future? If you tell her to go east, she won't dare go west. "
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Shangguan Yi's method was very good. It was impossible to stop Li Xuan from marrying this woman, but it wasn't impossible to teach her a lesson and make her behave herself.
Shangguan Yi saw that she had also achieved her goal, so she chatted with Crown Princess Ding for a while about new matters in the capital. After a short conversation with Princess Dingguang for a while, she didn't stay any longer and left.
After Shangguan Yi had left, Princess Ding immediately dressed up and headed for Song Xiangsi's residence. When Song Xiangsi heard that Princess Ding had come, he immediately went out to welcome her.
Princess Ding followed Song Xiangsi to the living room and sat down. Song Xiangsi suffered from dysentery and had her servants prepare tea for her to drink.
Seeing how respectful Song Xiangsi was of her, Crown Princess Ding Yi was very happy in her heart. However, it was imperative for her to show Song Xiangsi some respect.
She took a sip of tea and said in a serious tone:
"I've heard that you often appear in public? Do you know how much gossip this will bring to Li Xuan? In the future, when you marry into the prince's mansion, don't go; instead, learn the rules of the mansion. "
When Song Xiangsi heard this, he understood that the purpose of making this decision was to intimidate her. He stood up, looked at her, smiled, and said:
"Esteemed wangfei, if I didn't do business, I wouldn't be able to support myself and my younger brothers and sisters, so …"
Song Xiangsi did not finish. She knew that the Crown Princess understood what he meant, so she stood to the side and waited quietly for the Crown Princess to make up her mind.
When Princess Dingdong heard this, she became extremely angry. She put down the tea in her hand and stared fixedly at Song Xiangsi. Song Xiangsi, on the other hand, also lifted his head to look back at her.
She didn't know what kind of bewitching medicine her son was being drugged with, nor did she know whether he would marry her or not. Now, even the Royal Family had sent a letter for her to get on the jade plate.
"When you marry into the imperial family, what need do you have for all this? You will only make outsiders laugh at the King's Manor!"
Princess Dingyang slammed her hand on the table, causing the table to shake as tea spilled from the cup. Song Xiangsi knew that he had angered Princess Dingfei, but he could not change his current thoughts.
Song Xiangsi looked at the infuriated Dingwangfei and made up her mind. She told Dingwangfei in a serious tone:
"This business is not useless. If there is no business going around selling goods, even if you are from a royal family, it would be hard for you to buy what you want even if you have money. If not, you would be inferior to others."
Princess Dingguang lowered her head to ponder over the question Song Xiangsi had just mentioned, but she did not agree. After all, the old saying went: 'Money makes the wind blow', was there anything that money could not buy? He didn't take it to heart.
Seeing that Princess Hua-Yang still didn't understand, Song Xiangsi continued:
"For example, if you want something in a neighboring country, you can buy it with money. However, this is much more expensive than buying it from a merchant, so the status of a merchant is not lower than that of other positions."
Princess Ding looked at Song Xiangsi, but was influenced since she was young by the thoughts of the workers and farmers. Business was the lowest position, and Song Xiangsi's words were hard for her to accept, but she seemed unable to refute them.
"Yo, so the Crown Princess and Big Sister are also here."
Song Xiangsi did not need to turn his head to know who the eerie voice belonged to.
Golden side of the consort as leisurely stroll, ornamental garden posture into the courtyard of Song Xiangsi.
Song Xiangsi turned around slightly and greeted her politely, "Golden-sided Consort!"
Song Xiangsi appeared to be well-mannered, but his words were not inconsistent. According to seniority, although Song Xiangsi did not have to kowtow nine times before he saw the golden-side consort, he did not manage to do the most basic of bows. His words did not seem to have anything wrong with the surroundings, but it sounded like it was accentuating the golden-side consort.
There was no place where she didn't make it clear that the status of an imperial concubine was inferior to that of a imperial concubine, much less a wangfei.
How could she not know that Song Xiangsi was purposely talking about her? However, she did not seem surprised, nor did she smile as she said, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so humble. Please get up, don't hurt the peace between our families." He then stood up and pulled on Song Xiangsi's hand, indicating that she should get up quickly.
When the princess entered the courtyard, her expression changed. She didn't seem to be getting better at all. Instead, she looked even deeper than before. Finally, she spoke.
"What brings you here, sister?" He didn't even want to maintain the most basic etiquette on the surface.
Song Xiangsi knew what was going on and smiled.
"Actually, it's nothing. The golden jade hairpin that the prince gifted me two days ago has disappeared, so I wanted to look for the crown prince's consort. I searched for other places, but I didn't find her, leaving only my sister here."
The golden-side consort had always been a pampered and prideful person. Her words simply meant that the prince had pampered her and granted her rights. Her rights weren't any less than the imperial concubine's when it came to food and clothing. The side consort was only a title, so she didn't care.
Her actions were undoubtedly slapping Princess Hua-Yang's face.
"You came looking for a broken hairpin to find me and the Crown Princess here? Look, what else do you have to throw away? If you look again at our place, you might not find it."
It was obvious that she had been waiting for these words to come out from her mouth.
"Elder sister, don't be angry. Actually, I don't want to doubt it either. But the prince said that this hairpin was sent by an outsider." "This is the only one in the world, and he insisted on begging me for it. Losing this would be a huge crime."
"I'm not afraid that you'll love me, sister." Each of the words of the princess consort was full of thorns, not a single one of them was not showing off.
Before they could even react, she said, "Someone, go and search for him. If you can't find him, then that's fine. But if you can, then let the prince handle him."
