Chapter 148 Guar Jia Wen Yuan (15)
Chapter 148 Guar Jia Wen Yuan (15)
Of course Chouju was happy to have a son, but looking at the wives of all the princes, even the father of the eldest wife, who had been reduced to a blank slate by Kangxi, was a highly respected person before. Although the father of the fifth brother's wife was only a minor official, his family name, Tara, was a prominent one.
The brothers' wives all came from famous families, so Chouju naturally didn't want to be inferior to others in this respect.
As for Yixiu, she was not only a concubine, but also had only one concubine, Concubine De, to support the family. Concubine De was his biological mother, and the Ulanara family was originally his maternal family. If Yixiu really became his principal wife, it would not help his future at all.
Chou Ju, who was determined to make progress, would not do such an unprofitable deal. He felt that letting Yi Xiu become a concubine was already taking care of his in-laws and giving face to Concubine De.
Yixiu had no idea that Chouju wanted to marry a noble lady as his wife, because Chouju continued to flatter her, saying that her family was low and she was a concubine, so it would be difficult to make her his wife. Now their eldest prince was too young, so they wanted to wait until he grew up, otherwise it would seem that he was too eager. The emperor did not like his son to be trapped by women.
Yixiu, who is obsessed with love, actually believed Chouju's nonsense.
It was not until the appearance of her elder sister Rouze that Yixiu's dream of becoming the principal wife was shattered.
That's right, Rouze appeared again. Yixiu gave birth to Chouju's eldest son, which was a good thing after all. As a member of the mother's family, Rouze had to appear at the third birthday ceremony and the first birthday banquet of Chouju's eldest prince, right?
Rouze is indeed a beauty. Even Wen Yuan, who is self-conscious about her own beauty, can't help but sigh when she sees her.
That's right, Wen Yuan also came to attend Honghui's first birthday party. She had seen the scenery in the palace for several lifetimes, and Yuqing Palace was really pitifully small, so Wen Yuan wanted to run outside as soon as she found a chance.
Yinzhen, who has gradually turned from an ugly orange to a fat orange, is still the prince's closest brother, so Wen Yuan begged the prince to take her out to relieve his boredom. Isn't this just a live version of the famous scene?
Wen Yuan guessed that Pangju might not have seen Rouze at the last baptism ceremony, and today was the first time he saw her, so the famous scene of falling in love at first sight was only happening now.
Beile Zhen has now been promoted to Prince of Yong, and the Crown Prince and his wife have personally attended Honghui's first birthday party. Seeing that Prince of Yong has a bright future, naturally there are many people who want to curry favor with Pangju.
With such a large gathering of guests and the joyous occasion of the birth of a new baby, it was rare that even Prince Yinzhen of Zhi did not cause any trouble, but Fat Ju himself caused a big one.
He probably drank too much, and when he came back to change his clothes, he happened to meet Rouze, who, although she couldn't attract butterflies, was still able to dance so beautifully that she looked like a fairy concubine.
As for Rouze, she didn't know what she was thinking. On her sister's happy day, she didn't talk much with the princess and other women in her husband's family, nor did she take care of her sister. Instead, she ran to the junction of the study and the inner house to dance.
At that time, Yizheng was holding Honghui to show off to her sisters-in-law. Of course, she had not yet become a legitimate wife. Those who could attend this birthday banquet were either the main wife like the Crown Princess, or the most favored concubines in the princes' houses, such as Liu Jia from the fifth prince's house and Nara from the seventh prince's house.
The first wives saw that this was another slutty bitch who gave birth to a concubine's son before the first wife entered the house, and it was impossible for them to empathize with her joy. They would only bring up the future fourth wife, thinking that they were in the same boat, both of them had to become mothers before entering the house.
Well, every time this happens, the first wife's sense of superiority is reflected. Even if Wen Yuan is the Crown Princess, so what? In this respect, she is superior to her. Although Yinzhen is anxious to have a son, he still cares about his dignity, unlike the Crown Prince...
What about the concubines who came with the main wives? They didn't really care about Yixiu's boasting. Isn't it just a son? Who among them who can be taken out for social events hasn't given birth to a son or a daughter? Is there any need to be so boastful?
This is the path that I have walked before. If you can be like the concubine of Master Wu, even if the legitimate wife comes into the family, you can still make your master ignore her and only dote on her. This is the role model for them, the concubines!
But Yixiu obviously couldn't do that. Not only that, on the proudest day of her life, she had just finished showing off with Honghui in front of a group of female relatives, and then she saw her husband and her eldest sister flirting with each other in public...
Yixiu's skill of concealment was not yet perfect. Wen Yuan could clearly see that her whole face was turning red and blue. If Jianqiu had not been smart enough to hold Honghui in her arms in time, Wen Yuan felt that it was very likely that Yixiu would accidentally drop her son in her current state.
Yixiu is so miserable...
This is probably the unanimous voice of all the female members.
Seeing Yixiu was stunned and didn't know how to react, Wen Yuan, as the person with the highest status present, naturally had to stand up and speak.
She coughed heavily on purpose, and then spoke: "Fourth brother, today is Honghui's first birthday party, there are so many guests in the front hall waiting for you to entertain, why are you hiding here and being lazy?"
Fat Ju seemed to have just come back to his senses as if awakened from a dream. When he saw Wen Yuan and the women behind her, he knew that he could not stay for long, so he apologized to Wen Yuan and went back to the front hall.
Fat Orange can walk, but Rouze, whose face is flushed, cannot.
Wen Yuan had wisely found an excuse to leave with the others. Now the only people left in the inner room were Yi Xiu, who was shivering with anger, and Rou Ze, who was avoiding glances and feeling extremely guilty.
Wen Yuan now has enough points for her to buy real-time surveillance to watch the fight between Yixiu and her sister, but she doesn't have time to watch the fun.
Because in the past few years, except for the eldest brother, the relationship between the younger brothers and the prince is quite good. Seeing that the prince has a legitimate son, his current position can be said to be as stable as a rock, so those who are discerning will naturally come over to chat with Wen Yuan.
So, Wen Yuan really has no time to watch the surveillance now.
But she didn't regret it, because there was still a follow-up to this matter.
The 37th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign was a year of great selection, and Emperor Kangxi had originally planned to take advantage of this selection to marry a legitimate wife to his fourth son. But now this son has gone crazy, saying that he doesn't want anyone else, but only his eldest sister-in-law, Ulanara Rouze, who is already engaged.
Kangxi disagreed at first. Although the Manchus were a little unrefined, it was not uncommon for them to marry widows or aunts and nieces at the same time. Even Kangxi himself had sisters in his harem.
But let’s not talk about the fact that he has already married Yixiu, and marrying Rouze will not help his career at all, and Rouze is already engaged!
Isn't this a case of the king seizing his minister's wife? How would it look like if this got out?
Kangxi was determined not to agree at first. But most parents cannot persuade their children. Pangju was determined to marry Rouze as his legal wife, and he knelt outside the Qianqing Palace for a day and a night.
Seeing that he was determined to be crazy about love once, Kangxi had no choice but to agree to his wish.
