Chapter 33: Serving one wife together?
Qin Zhilan sat aside and did not speak from the beginning to the end, but looked at Shen Ning quietly.
Because Shen Ning and her eldest brother have always been engaged, Qin Zhilan was familiar with Shen Ning and even close to her.
After all, compared to the imperial uncle's palace, it is hard to say who is more prominent or wealthy.
One is a serious relative of the royal family, the Queen Mother's natal family, and the other has power gained through military exploits.
However, the younger generation in the Duke's palace is not very promising. In the future, they may not even be able to control the military power and cannot help the emperor. As a result, the Queen Mother has no choice but to let her eldest brother marry the eldest princess of Pingyao.
The eldest brother has a deep love for Shen Ning. He originally thought that marrying Princess Pingyao would not affect Shen Ning from becoming his. After all, it is difficult for a woman to lose her innocence in this world. Besides being a concubine, what other way out is there?
Sharing the same husband with the eldest princess is a bit aggrieved at the moment, but as long as the emperor successfully takes charge, the Qin family will naturally be unparalleled. In the future, who has a higher status and who has a lower status, isn't it her eldest brother who has the final say?
Unexpectedly, Shen Ning was so stubborn and ruthless that she even broke her eldest brother's hand. I didn't expect that she would agree to marry the regent.
Qin Zhilan took a deep breath and wanted to know what Shen Ning was thinking.
Her eldest brother is the nephew of the Queen Mother and the cousin of the Emperor. When the Emperor comes to power, it would be better for her to be a concubine than to be killed along with the Regent, right?
Sure enough, I have short-sighted eyes and only see this little power in front of me...
"Sister." Shen Yan pursed her lips weakly and opened her mouth to act as a peacemaker, "Princess Jiahe just said it casually and did not intend to frame up. Besides, why should a little quarrel between women alarm the regent? The regent has many things to do and is busy with government affairs. Sister You should be more sensible. Even if you can't help the regent, at least don't hold him back. "
When Princess Jiahe heard this, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes: "We are both the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, why is there such a big gap?"
"If Princess Jiahe is willing to apologize to Yan Zheng, I will not invite the regent." Shen Ning's tone was indifferent and she regarded Shen Yan's words as fart. "Otherwise, if it involves falsely accusing a court official, I still have to invite the regent."
"Let this princess apologize to her?" Princess Jiahe was furious, "Shen Ning, you are so whimsical!"
Shen Ning said coldly: "Shi Qin, go and invite the regent."
"yes."
Shi Qin raised her hand and swept away the maids in front of her, throwing them all to the ground with three strokes, and then walked quickly to the front yard.
"Stop!" Princess Jiahe's face changed, and she shouted hoarsely to stop her, "I apologize! Can't I apologize?"
Shi Qin stopped and turned to look at Shen Ning.
Shen Ning said nothing, but looked at Princess Jiahe calmly.
Princess Jiahe was so angry that she was livid. She wished she could cut Shen Ning into eight pieces, divide her body into five pieces, and execute her Ling Chi!
However, facing her cold and pitiful eyes, Princess Jiahe shuddered violently, turned to look at Yan Zheng, and said in a cold tone: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be sarcastic about your garden, let alone be rude. I want to block and frame Prime Minister Zuo’s character, but I hope you’ll have a lot of excuses, so don’t bother with me.”
Jiahe finished speaking in a cold voice and looked at Shen Ning bitterly, "Is this okay?"
Shen Ning said: "Shi Qin, come back."
Shi Qin turned around and walked back, but Princess Jiahe couldn't stay any longer. With full of hatred for Shen Ning, she walked away surrounded by the maids.
As soon as she left, Princess Jiayu naturally refused to stay and snorted coldly: "We shouldn't come today."
After leaving these words, she quickly left.
The atmosphere in the flower hall was slightly stagnant, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Shen Ning turned her eyes slightly and glanced at Shen Yan opposite her casually: "Aren't you going to go with them?"
Shen Yan bit her lip: "What did the eldest sister say? I came here at Miss Yan's invitation. What does it have to do with the two princesses?"
Because of the abdominal pain and slapping, she suffered a lot at the hands of Shen Ning. He already hated her deeply, but he was also afraid of her current identity.
Even though he wanted to plot against her all the time in his heart, he never dared to break up with her.
Otherwise, you will be the one who suffers.
I thought that Princess Jiahe was easy to take advantage of, and when she was angry, she would definitely ask the maids to teach Shen Ning a lesson, but she didn't expect them to be so useless.
She is really unworthy of being called a royal princess, she is cowardly, incompetent and disgraceful.
"I thought you became Princess Jiahe's slave at some point, but I didn't expect it to be the case." Shen Ning's voice was cold, "But looking at your tone and expression when you spoke just now, you looked very much like a cowardly slave in the palace. "
Shen Yan's face stiffened, and then her eyes turned red: "Sister, we are sisters, do you have to humiliate me like this?"
"I don't dare to be sisters." Shen Ning lowered her head and took a sip of tea, "If you don't know, you thought you and I had a grudge against each other."
Shen Yan bit her lip and did not dare to speak anymore, for fear that Shen Ning would really reveal her plan to snatch the regent.
"The princess and Miss Shen are biological sisters. There is no need to be so mean when you talk, right?" Gu Yanran couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but feel sorry for Shen Yan, "The second girl is your sister. She broke the bones and connected the tendons. You You can't think that you are superior to others just because you are the regent princess. You don't even want family ties anymore. In this life-"
"Gu Yanran, do you really want to get married?" Shen Ning narrowed her eyes, her eyes as cold as frost, "Would you like me to recommend some young men from aristocratic families to the Regent?"
Gu Yanran's face turned pale and she stopped talking instantly.
Yan Zheng looked at Shen Ning with envy. It was hard to believe that she could defeat these ill-intentioned people by herself.
As expected of the regent.
Although she used methods such as complaints and threats, it worked, didn't it?
"Princess." Yan Zheng raised his glass shyly, "I would like to offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."
Shen Ning picked up the tea cup and took a dignified sip.
With Gu Yanran and Shen Yan present, they were a little wary of chatting. Yan Zheng secretly made a note in his mind that he would definitely not invite Shen Yan and Gu Yanran again next time he held a flower appreciation party.
Although one of them is the sister of the princess and the other is the cousin of the regent, they both seem to be full of hostility towards the princess. On the surface, they speak softly and softly, but in fact, they have no good intentions at all.
A wonderful flower viewing party was ruined by them.
"Sure enough, power makes people emboldened." Qin Zhilan smiled slightly, "Originally, I was worried that the Qin family's behavior of breaking off the engagement would make Sister Ning heartbroken. I didn't expect that Sister Ning would be a blessing in disguise and marry the powerful regent. I really feel for Ning. My sister is happy."
"Heartbroken?" Shen Ning said indifferently, "Does Qin Yan's book match?"
Qin Zhilan hesitated for a moment, then smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't bring up the things that made Sister Ning unhappy again."
"The Qin family chose to break off the engagement because I encountered a bandit. It's not your fault. You don't have to feel sorry." Shen Ning smiled faintly, "I just heard that the eldest princess of Pingyao asked the Qin brothers to share a wife. This matter It’s quite interesting.”
As soon as these words came out, Yan Zheng's eyes widened: "Two men... serve the same wife together?"
