The remaining Consort Chu does not need to offer a cup of tea.
Just a simple introduction.
The process of offering tea has now come to an end.
Afterward, they dined together at breakfast.
Normally, they dined separately in their respectivecourtyards, but since the Consort Chu was newly admitted, they had a meal together today.
The early breakfast was very rich, and the whole family sat around an eight-spider table, just looking at the picture was warm and comfortable.
The Consort Chu, however, seemed redundant no matter how one looked at her.
The Marquis of Jin smiled and pulled Yun Yaoyao's hand, "You just got married, you need some time to adapt. After your three-day return ceremony, my mother will host a flower arranging banquet and invite some noblewomen from the capital to be guests. At that time, I will introduce you to everyone and you can also make friends with some."
If this daughter-in-law is not up to par, she would definitely not have done it. She wouldn't want to lose face and be embarrassed.
On the contrary, this daughter-in-law is dignified and generous, speaks politely to others, and her every gesture exudes the elegance of a noblewoman.
She wants to show the whole city that even if the bride-to-be made a mistake, her son's new wife is also quite capable.
Or even better.
"All right, everything is according to Mother's arrangement."
Yun Yaoyao raised her corner of her mouth, the flower arranging banquet is just a group of elegant women gathering to chat and drink tea together.
She doesn't care about such scenes and can handle them smoothly.
South Palace Yan thought that she was a concubine's daughter and had not been taken out much by the Lady of Yongling Marquis before, fearing she might be shy on such an occasion.
Thinking about this, he said to the Marquis of Jin: "Mother, Yun Yaoyao has not experienced such scenes before and may not know some things. Please be more helpful when guiding her."
The sudden close and intimate address made Yun Yaoyao's face slightly red.
Although the male leads in the previous two dimensions also addressed her in this way, and she had grown accustomed to it, Nan Gongyang was the first to do so.
"Hehe, you're already concerned about your wife. It's good, it's good."
The Marquis of Jin smiled and praised his son.
Yun Yaoyao and Nan Gongyang both blushed deeply.
"Learn from me, Your Majesty is also very good at taking care of his wife!"
Jin Wang leaned towards the Marquis of Jin, happily chuckled and said.
"Go away, you!"
The Marquis of Jin's wife pouted and glared at Jin Wang.
Then she looked at her son, "Okay, Mother knows it."
As she watched the whole family chatting and laughing, feeling like an outsider, Consort Chu's hands, hanging loosely at her sides, grew increasingly clenched.
She dared not confront the Marquis of Jin, nor did she dare to confront Nan Gongyang, and Jin Wang would definitely not dare.
So she turned the fire on Yun Yaoyao, "I heard that the concubine's daughter originally became a side wife, so she must not have often participated in such occasions. It would be better if she didn't disgrace the crown prince's house."
Yun Yaoyao looked at Consort Chu and raised an eyebrow.
This woman seems to think of herself as a soft tomato, thinking she can bully others at will.
"It's the concubine's daughter's business whether she will lose face or not, and it's better than some who are not even qualified to attend!"
This statement explicitly indicates that Consort Chu is a concubine.
A concubine has no qualifications to attend such a banquet, otherwise where would the Marquis of Jin's wife's face be put?
Jin Wang would not allow it either.
"You..."
Consort Chu angrily stared at Yun Yaoyao, her face was very ugly.
Yun Yaoyao didn't even look at Consort Chu.
She's foolish and has no self-awareness, and she likes to cause trouble everywhere. If it were her, she would have crushed such a person long ago. Why keep her around to bother others?
It's really unclear what the Marquis of Jin's wife is thinking.
Such a happy family, yet there's a piece of poop spoiling the broth.
The Marquis of Jin's wife looked at Consort Chu with a displeased expression, and a strong sense of disgust flashed in her eyes. "Even if the concubine's daughter has something she doesn't understand, I will guide her, and there's no need for the side concubine to worry!"
Consort Chu twisted the handkerchief in her hand and replied, "Yes!"
She then hung her head in silence.
The Marquis of Jin's wife coldly hiccuped and then summoned everyone to have breakfast.
After breakfast, Nan Gongyang took Yun Yaoyao back to the crown prince's mansion.
"You can go back too!"
The Marquis of Jin's wife looked at Consort Chu, who was sitting motionless, and a strong sense of disgust flashed in her eyes. No matter how she looked at it, she was just plain annoying.
Consort Chu didn't want to leave, as it was a rare opportunity for her to spend time with the prince.
However, the prince paid no attention to her throughout, not even glancing in her direction. She was once again deeply heartbroken.
"Yes!"
Consort Chu finally left reluctantly and tearfully.
The Marquis of Jin's wife looked at the man sitting next to her, feeling increasingly annoyed, and fiercely pinched him.
"It's all your fault for causing this mess!"
"Oh my, Rong'er, it hurts, it hurts..."
The Marquis of Jin groaned in pain, "That was years ago, and I was drunk at the time."
Why do you always hold onto it?
"Who knows if you were deliberately drunk?"
Consort Chu is like a thorn in the Marquis of Jin's wife's heart, causing constant discomfort every time she thinks about her.
The Marquis of Jin's wife became increasingly angry, and fiercely twisted his waist with both hands, "Sure enough, it must be you who secretly went to see her. Otherwise, why hasn't she given up after so many years?"
"Oh my, Rong'er, it's not true! I really haven't!"
The Marquis of Jin rubbed his waist and looked as if he wanted to cry.
The Marquis of Jin really hasn't sneaked to visit Consort Chu, and he always detours around the Shuxiang courtyard.
It's just that once he saw her standing alone at the door, looking dazedly in the direction of his courtyard.
He couldn't help but go over and say a few words, but then he left quickly.
Of course, the Marquis of Jin wouldn't dare to say that.
Otherwise, he would have to kneel on the clothesline for another two weeks and sleep in the study.
Of course, it's private. In public, the Marquis of Jin's wife still gives her husband face.
The Marquis of Jin's wife kept pinched him several times, and the anger in her heart was almost gone. She couldn't help but think about last night's events.
"Didn't you send the shadow guards to investigate last night? What is the truth of the matter?"
Last night, as soon as the Marquis of Jin noticed something was off with the bride, he sent the shadow guards to investigate, and they got the results in the morning.
The Marquis of Jin's wife knew this, but she hadn't had a chance to ask yet.
The Marquis of Jin was stunned for a moment before realizing what the Marquis of Jin's wife was asking.
Then, his eyebrows furrowed, and his expression was a mix of warmth and anger, "It's none other than Yu Wan, the one you originally picked. She must have found out about Yan'er's hidden illness and doesn't want to marry him. But she didn't dare to break off the marriage, so she drugged her younger half-sister, who was supposed to marry into the house of the new scholar-bachelor, and slipped her in instead. She herself took the sedan chair meant for the marriage into the scholar-bachelor's house."
When the Marquis of Jin's wife heard this, she immediately became angry. The previously charming and delicate face instantly turned dark.
"Slap!"
A teacup was slammed down on the ground, shattering into pieces immediately.
"What is Yu Wan? It's my fortune to be able to see her, and she dares to despise my son, she doesn't know how to appreciate it."
If the bride accidentally boarded the wrong sedan chair and made a mistake, she wouldn't be so angry. But
she was clearly upset that Yun Yaoyao ended up on the right one instead of her.
But Yun Yaoyao's actions were nothing short of slapping the Jin's house in the face, how could the Marquis of Jin's wife not be angry?
She wanted to send Grandmother Sun to speak to the Lord of Yongling about it, but she thought that if it got out, it would be embarrassing for the Jin's house.
It might be better to let the whole city believe that the bride made a mistake at her wedding.
But without treating that whore, the Marquis of Jin's wife couldn't swallow her pride.
Yu Wan wasn't willing to marry her son but would rather marry that newly minted scholar-bachelor, wasn't she?
Is it because she has seen the other person's promising future?
Hehe…I won't let you have your way.
What's the name of the newly minted scholar-bachelor? What position does he hold?
The Marquis of Jin's wife looked at the Marquis of Jin and suddenly asked.
The Marquis of Jin's wife had jumped the topic too quickly, and the Marquis of Jin was momentarily stunned.
Realizing this, he looked at the Marquis of Jin's wife and thought for a moment before answering, "His name is Li Luoshu. The Crown Prince just arranged him into the Hanlin Academy recently, and it seems that he is quite favored by the Crown Prince. His position is that of an editor in the Hanlin Academy, a sixth-rank official."
"Actually, he has been admitted to the Hanlin Academy? It seems that his future is limitless indeed!"
The Marquis of Jin's wife looked on in mockery. It's not that the sixth-rank official is small, but it is the Hanlin Academy.
Almost all grand officials over the third rank in the entire court come from the Hanlin Academy.
If one cannot even enter the Hanlin Academy, their official position in life will be like that.
Of course, it doesn't mean that once you enter the Hanlin Academy, you will definitely become a high-ranking official. One must have the ability to climb up the ranks.
"Figure out a way to keep Li Luoshu from advancing, and make sure he stays at this position for the rest of his life."
The Marquis of Jin's wife spoke with a thinly veiled anger on her face.
The Marquis of Jin smiled and agreed.
