Wang Manjing's mouth revealed a playful smile, "Fourth Miss's words are quite interesting."
How could a girl not get married? She was afraid that Lin Shu was just talking about the situation.
Lin Shu truly thought that in her heart, it was good to have a good man, but it was hard to fathom a person's heart. This kind of thing is hard to guarantee, "I didn't joke with Lateral Consort Wang, after we get married, I can't just let my temper take over.
"Taking care of the mother-in-law, serving the husband, raising the children, and dealing with the concubine and the concubine are all good things, but who can guarantee that their husband will never change his mind? If one day the husband's heart, this day will be even more difficult to bear... Is it really better to endure like this than to never marry again? "
Saying that, she followed with a smile, "I know what I said sounded somewhat strange to Lateral Consort Wang, but it was from the heart."
Having lived two lives, she had already seen through many things. Whatever reputation it was, it was all fake. The most important thing was to live safely and safely.
Wang Manjing looked at her, "If I remember correctly, Fourth Miss schemed for the sake of the at that time. If you were to never marry, what about the Fifth Madam? Will I be as open-minded as you? "
It's been a few years, but this is the first time Wang Manjing has mentioned it. "People have a lot of things they want in their lives, some want money, some want power, but which girl doesn't have a crush on spring? "I'm a couple in this life. Although I'm a few years older than the fourth lady, I've still come from the fourth miss' age …
She had her own plans, but everyone had their own weaknesses. As long as she could grasp their weaknesses, everything would be much easier.
Lin Shu pretended to drink her tea and did not reply.
In the conspiracy with Wang Manjing, she was the only one who suffered, she knew that she couldn't scheme against him.
Wang Manjing understood what was going on and also took a sip of tea from her tea before saying softly: "If you don't want to speak the truth, Fourth Miss's lyrics are bad and beautiful, then I will not beat around the bush with you. I have never placed Third Princess in my eyes, those kind of people who are born with cold and short-sighted are not even worth being afraid of, I am only worried about Zhang Yuanqing."
She felt that it was a little unreal. She was sent to the palace at the age of five, and had to crawl around in the palace for more than ten years before she was finally able to come to Empress Dowager Wang's side to serve. Even if she was valued highly by the Empress Dowager Wang later on, she was still a servant after all.
And today, she had already succeeded in more than half of the process, "Zhang Yuanqing is Elder Zhang's only granddaughter, so she has been highly regarded by the Elder Zhang since she was young. The Elder Zhang has always been praised by the Emperor as a loyal subject, not to mention that Zhang Yuanqing was raised by the Grandma Zhangda with utmost care. How could I, a mere palace maid serving by the empress dowager's side, contend against her? When she was painting with Third Prince's poem, I'm afraid that I wouldn't even be able to cut in on their conversation. "
"But I always have a personality that won't admit defeat, I've already climbed step by step to this position. I can't lose, I can't lose …" My status is low, even if I were to be stepped on by Zhang Yuanqing once, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to rise again in my life. "
Although Empress Dowager Wang ignored all the political affairs, she was still in the imperial harem, but he was very concerned about all of these things. She knew that as long as Elder Zhang was in the imperial court, Zhang Yuanqing would not lose his favor.
"What does Lateral Consort Wang mean?" Lin Shu pretended to be confused.
"Talking to an intelligent person like the Fourth Miss is already a pleasure for you. Whatever I say, the Fourth Miss will understand." Wang Manjing was a straightforward person, she only gave her gentleness and caution to someone high up in the sky. A mere Lin Shu was not worth her attention, "I want Fourth Miss to help me get rid of Zhang Yuanqing."
"According to what I know, Fourth Miss and Zhang Yuanqing have been friends since childhood, and can be considered as a friend of a handkerchief. He has some understanding about Zhang Yuanqing, and this time Zhang Yuanqing even invited you to join Third Prince's Mansion, so he probably views you with some importance … But whether it's sincere or just faking it, this Fourth Miss is clearer than anyone else. "
She had seen everything clearly!
Lin Shu was not surprised at all, after four to five years, Wang Manjing's schemes and schemes had far surpassed what they had been, "Thank you, Lateral Consort Wang, for your love, I'm afraid I can't help you anymore. Just as you have said, when I brought my mother to the manor, not only did Zhang Yuanqing send a letter, he didn't even send a verbal message, you wanted to rope me in to deal with Zhang Yuanqing, do you think that it would work?"
Saying this, she smiled, "Even if it works, it doesn't, I will not agree to this matter. I am just an ordinary woman, and have already offended some influential people, it is already a great fortune to be able to keep my life. I just want to live in peace."
If anything really happened when she was fighting with Third Prince's Mansion, she would be the first one to die.
Wang Manjing said smilingly: "If I used the matter of the Eighth Prince's marriage to make a deal with you?"
The Eighth Prince's marriage?
Lin Shu felt that Wang Manjing was really daring, what kind of status did the Eighth Prince have? He was the lifeblood of the Empress Zhang, even the Empress Dowager Wang did not dare guarantee that they would be able to arrange a marriage for him, how could Wang Manjing dare to say such words?
Lin Shu smiled but did not speak.
Wang Manjing seemed to have seen through her thoughts, "Fourth Miss probably thinks that I'm daydreaming? But since I dare to say it, I can definitely do it. If Fourth Miss really helped me, I cannot guarantee a position of Chief Consort. I can also guarantee a position of Lateral Consort … "
"I think you've found the wrong person." Lin Shu knew some methods, if she really wanted to marry the Eighth Prince to be the Lateral Consort, it wasn't like she couldn't do anything, it was just that the method was too dirty, "If you don't have anything to say, then I'll be leaving first."
Wang Manjing did not keep her here, this kind of thing only required one strike, if this matter could not tempt Lin Shu, then she would just have to find another way.
By the time Lin Shu left the Hanging Flower Gate, Lin Hui was already kicked on a stone beside the road out of boredom. The moment she saw her, she hurriedly asked: "Sister Shu, are you alright?"
Lin Shu shook her head, "It's nothing."
Lin Hui pulled her arm and waited until they were in the carriage before speaking softly: "... This Lateral Consort Wang definitely doesn't have any good intentions. Just now, I heard from Zhang Yuanqing that she was supposed to say that the empress dowager saw that the Third Prince's health wasn't very well and that his grandmother was worried about him and sent him to take care of him. But who knows how the relationship between the Third Prince and the Lateral Consort Wang had improved, and how many times the Third Princess had gotten angry over this?
Saying that, her voice dropped even further. "But guess what? The Third Princess really had no other choice but to enter the palace and find the empress. The empress had never been on good terms with the empress dowager, so she didn't like her very much, and had even specially made a trip to the Third Prince's Mansion to say that the third prince couldn't tolerate such a person by his side and wanted to personally send her to the Tzu Ning Palace. But at that time, the third prince had stepped in to stop her, saying that he had already taken her in … At that time, Third Princess was so angry that his face turned white, tsk tsk, this Lateral Consort Wang really has a trick up his sleeve. "
He had been married to the Third Princess for many years, and only had one or two concubines by his side that he didn't have any status with. In all these years, who knew how many people had sent women to his doorstep, but the third prince had passed them all to the Third Princess without even looking at them.
Because of this matter, Third Princess had always been very proud in front of her sister-in-law and sister-in-law.
Lin Shu shook her head, "Forget about Third Princess, even Zhang Yuanqing is not her opponent, so Zhang Yuanqing won against Grandfather. If he did not have that identity, then it would be much easier for Wang Manjing to take care of her than for Third Princess. Third Big Sister, this Third Prince's Mansion is not a good place, it's best if we don't go there from now on. "
She was afraid that Zhang Yuanqing would even start to use her.
Lin Hui, however, could not figure out the connection, "What does it have to do with us that the two of them are not fighting … Forget it, it's your birthday today. Let's not talk about these things. "
As she spoke, she continued in a sneaky tone, "I already told the carriage driver just now, why don't we go back first? We can eat at the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion first, and then after we finish eating, we can go back to the Liucheng Garden to listen to the show. They said that with Yuan Xiaoyi here today, Yuan Xiaoyi has become even more popular these few years, and that a few months ago, there was a wealthy merchant from Northern Shaanxi who wanted to help her redeem her body, and marry her as her principal wife.
She was the same as Lin Shu, she didn't really like listening to jokes. Lin Shu only felt that the crew was noisy, too noisy, but she felt that it was too boring. It was only because of this that she became more curious about Yuan Xiaoyi.
"Let's go to Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, don't go to Liucheng Garden, although Grandmother has suffered a stroke, it is not good for her to scold you, but First Aunt has always been in a bad mood. First Aunt has always doted on you, and now that you are engaged to him, even if you do commit a mistake, First Aunt will not scold you, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the ones who will suffer will be Xiangzi or the others." Lin Shu knew her personality, and said somewhat helplessly: "Moreover, there is usually a banquet, so most people are invited here by Liucheng Garden. I'm afraid that you just want to go to the Liucheng Garden to watch the show, and tell me, this Liucheng Garden is still better off not going, it's a mess, if something really happens, what can you do? "
However, Lin Hui blinked her eyes, "Why don't we stop going to the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion and go straight to there? Usually, the Middle Palace would also call for people from Celestial Fragrance Pavilion to come in, and after eating for a while, there would only be a few dishes! " In the end, she still wanted to join in on the fun.
