Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 195: Women's Dispute

Relatives of the concubine?

Daiyu was stunned.

So the ones arguing with me are the women from Concubine Hui or Concubine Li's family?

Does this mean that he doesn't know who I am, or even if he knows, he still wants to give me, a concubine, a warning?

Daiyu's heart was slightly moved, but she still didn't want to get involved in the fight between these inner palace women, so she lowered her voice and said:

"Where do you work for? Why do you have to be my boss? Tomorrow I will ask Supervisor Tao who is in charge of the rules for the eunuchs in the palace."

The eunuch finally softened, muttered twice to himself, and led the horse to the side, letting the carriage go first.

Who knew that the carriage had passed by, and suddenly a middle-aged woman in the carriage asked loudly: "Who is in this carriage? Thank you very much!"

It sounds polite, but it is actually rampant.

Lin Daiyu frowned and was about to tell the eunuch to ignore them and leave immediately. Unexpectedly, the eunuch, who was eager to cause chaos in the world, answered: "This is Princess Zhaoqing's special carriage."

"Huh?!" A little girl seemed surprised, and then there was a commotion with a footstool falling to the ground, the little girl getting off the car, and the middle-aged woman trying to stop it but failing.

Daiyu was extremely annoyed and had just frowned when the curtain of the carriage was suddenly and rudely opened.

A pretty young face with rouge and powder suddenly appeared in front of her. It stared fiercely at Daiyu with its round eyes for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and shouted:

"Mother, she doesn't look good at all! She looks like a sickly girl!"

A beautiful middle-aged woman got off the car, walked over quickly and elegantly, pulled the little girl over, complained in a low voice, and knelt down to Daiyu in the car with a smile on her face:

"I'm sorry for offending the princess, please don't blame me!"

"No problem." Daiyu nodded and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, the woman smiled and introduced herself: "My surname is Zhang. I am the wife of Zhou, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, and the mother of Concubine Hui. This is my daughter Zhou Sui."

Daiyu was impatient, and her expression showed it a little: "Mrs. Zhou, how are you? I have something else to do, so I have to leave first."

Unexpectedly, the little girl Zhou Sui didn't care what she said at all. She took a step forward, her face full of jealousy: "Why did you become a princess?"

"My father served his country loyally," Lin Daiyu smiled, finally not wanting to tolerate it any longer, and said with a smile, "So the Supreme Lord has bestowed grace on me. If you are angry about this, you should go home and beg your father for mercy."

Asking father?

Zhou Sui was stunned: "Why should I ask my father for help? If I ask him, can I be made a princess?"

Daiyu smiled and said nothing, but looked at Zhang coldly.

This stupid daughter didn't understand, but Zhang did. Daiyu was saying: I was given the title of Princess because my father died. If you also want to be a Princess, please ask your father to die too!

Zhang's heart immediately trembled, and she forced a smile, dragging her daughter back to her car, apologizing, "My daughter is ignorant, please forgive me, princess! Thank you for giving way, we will leave now."

He said goodbye without any courtesy and tried to push Zhou Sui into the car!

At this moment, Daiyu's carriage came towards her, and another carriage came.

The eunuch's eyes lit up and he laughed. He whispered to Daiyu at the window of the carriage, "It's the people from Concubine Li's family who are here."

So they didn't enter the palace early in the morning, but delayed for an hour and a half? Could it be that they wanted to stay for lunch in the palace?

Daiyu pondered in her heart, but said, "Let's go."

Before he finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage from Concubine Li's parents' home was lifted, and another middle-aged woman came down with another little girl.

Daiyu let out a long sigh.

So annoying.

"Your humble servant Han, the wife of the Junior Minister of the Imperial Household, pays respects to Princess Zhaoqing. May the Princess live long and well."

"Your humble servant Yang Qiong, the niece of the Junior Minister of the Imperial Household, pays respects to Princess Zhaoqing. May the Princess live long and healthy."

The two men knelt politely, their movements as standard as if they were measured with a ruler.

Daiyu could only bow slightly and extend her hand: "Mrs. Han and Miss Yang, please don't be polite."

It seems I have to say hello to these two.

Lin Daiyu had just pulled herself together when she saw Han shaking the crown on her head and said to Zhang: "Madam Zhang, your manners are really too rude, aren't they?

"I know your mother's family is a family of farmers, but after being raised in wealth for several generations, you must know the hierarchy between the ruler and his subjects, right?

"Princess Zhaoqing was conferred the title by the Emperor himself, and even Princess Yimin, who was filial to the Empress Dowager, was shorter than her.

"What? Madam Zhang not only snatched Princess Zhaoqing's way, but she also said goodbye and walked away with her head held high?!

"And your daughter. What's wrong? Who gave her a certain rank? A common girl can't even show respect to a princess of the first rank. She stared at her and shouted at the top of her voice, 'Do you think this is a market in your village?!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how dare you enter the palace with such disrespectful behavior? It is said that Concubine Hui is straightforward. I think the word 'straightforward' probably means that she has no idea about rules and manners, right?"

Daiyu couldn't bear to listen any longer and frowned, "I have to go see the Queen Mother and I'm really in a hurry. I'll listen to Madam Han's etiquette lesson next time when I have time!"

He lowered the curtains and ordered the eunuch, "If you don't leave now, are you waiting to receive your reward?"

The eunuch shuddered at the cold voice and dared not talk back anymore. He quickly agreed, pulled the reins of the cart and walked forward.

As the two carriages passed each other, Daiyu clearly heard Han Shi couldn't help but sarcastically say, "No matter how unpopular my daughter is, she still has a real prince. She's not like those other powerful people who can only have a fake son!"

She was mocking Yuanchun in front of him. If he didn't accept it, today's so-called "entering the palace to express gratitude" would not look good.

Daiyu thought for a moment, lifted the curtain of the car window, and waved to the little girl Zhou Sui who was standing in the back with a melancholy look on her face.

Zhou Sui was stunned.

Zhang hurriedly pushed her away.

Zhou Sui had no choice but to run over holding up her skirt.

Daiyu smiled, beckoned her to come closer, said something softly, and nodded slightly: "See you again if we are destined to."

The window curtains were lowered, and the carriage slowly turned a corner, exited the side door of the Daming Palace, entered the side door of the Taiji Palace, and headed straight for the Yanjia Hall.

Zhou Sui walked back with her hands behind her back, smiling. When she passed by Han, she said with a smile:

“It is true now. But it cannot be guaranteed to be true forever.

"Generally speaking, it depends on how the child's mother does things. It also depends on how the child's mother's mother does things!"

In other words, who knows how long Concubine Li can live? If she is implicated by her family's arrogant and disrespectful behavior, who knows whose fake son the Sixth Prince will be in the future? !

Han turned these words around in her mind for a while before she realized what Lin Daiyu had said to Zhou Sui. She immediately felt embarrassed and, blushing, she quickly pulled her niece into the car and drove away in a hurry.

Zhou Sui looked at the Yang family's car from behind, clapping her hands and laughing.

But her mother, Zhang, looked back in the direction where Lin Daiyu's carriage disappeared, and murmured, "Otherwise, how could she be named a princess? She really knows how to talk!"
