    After the two concubines led so many juniors to bow to Duan Wang, they sat down one after another.

    Duan Wang looked around, although there was still one person missing, but it was okay, so he said, "Since everyone is here, let's serve tea first."

    "My lord, the prince is still missing." One of the side concubines, who was wearing Qiuxiang's robe, hurriedly reminded Duan Wangdao.

    This time, without any introduction, Qin Di knew that this old woman with a kind-hearted face must be Concubine Feng, the mother of the prince.

    Of course, King Duan knew that there was still a lack of a prince, but he felt that there was no need for so many people to wait for a prince.

    He was about to say something when a teenage girl in Feiyi said happily, "Big brother is back!"

    Outside the hall, a tall figure wearing a lake-blue brocade robe strode towards this side.

    The man was in his thirties, handsome, tall and straight, and he was four or five similar to King Duan. He was Gu Chenzhi, the son of King Duan.

    Gu Chenyi entered the hall, first bowed to King Duan, then bowed his hands to the crowd, and apologized with a smile: "I'm late."

    "Third brother, I'm sorry."

    Gu Zezhi smiled lightly, "The prince is more polite."

    No one was surprised by Gu Zezhi's indifferent attitude. After all, because of Gu Chenzhi's matter, the princess and Duan Wangyi were completely cut off. The discord between the two brothers was on the bright side.

    Qin Di looked at Gu Chenzhi curiously.

    In the novel, Gu Chenzhi didn't even have a chance to appear in front of him. The first time he was mentioned, it means that he was robbed and killed on the way to Beijing and his head was beheaded by Gu Zezhi.

    After that, when describing Gu Zezhi's cold-blooded ruthlessness, he would occasionally mention two things about him killing his father, mother, and brother.

    Gu Chenzhi noticed Qin Di's scrutinizing eyes, and nodded slightly at her, looking at her eldest brother's father-like demeanor.

    His face was slightly pale, with a faint hint of morbidity and fatigue. When he sat down, he clenched his fists and coughed slightly, as if he had contracted the cold.

    However, Qin Di knew that most of Gu Chenzhi's discomfort had nothing to do with contracting the cold, but because of Jiuhexiang.

    Qin Di retracted his gaze, with a low brow pleasing to the eye, he quickly pulled Gu Zezhi's hand under the cover of his sleeve, and scratched lightly in his palm, meaning, brilliant!

    This is called repaying the person's body with the way of the person!

    Originally, if they didn't find out, the mother, Mrs. Xiao, would gradually become weak because of Jiuhexiang, and others would only think that she was frail and sickly, but now it's okay, all the retribution will be on Gu Chenzhi herself.

    Now that everyone has really arrived, Concubine Feng said with a smile: "My lord, it's time to start."

    At her suggestion, two maids hurriedly placed the two futons in front of Duan Wang.

    Gu Zezhi and Qin Di walked side by side to the futon, knelt down and kowtowed to Duan Wang, at the same time, Du Ruo picked up the tea cup from the tray and brought it over.

    Qin Di took the tea, raised the tea cup with both hands, and said respectfully, "Please drink tea."

    Duan Wang took the tea from his daughter-in-law, took a sip, put the tea cup aside, said ok with a smile, and motioned for the steward to give Qin Di a red seal.

    Qin Di took Feng Hong with both hands, felt the thick inside of the red, guessed it was a silver note, so he smiled happily and thanked Duan Wang.

    After offering tea to Duan Wang, it was the turn of Duan Wang's two concubines.

    Although the side concubine is not as good as the princess, the side concubine of the imperial family is different from the ordinary concubines. She has a destiny, and her name is also written in the jade. It is reasonable to say that she is Gu Zezhi's concubine, and she is also worthy of Qin Ji's cup. Wife tea.

    Concubine Feng stroked her sleeves gracefully, leaning forward slightly, waiting for Qin Di to come over to kowtow and offer tea, however, Gu Zezhi led Qin Di directly past the two concubines without even introducing a word.

    Both Concubine Feng and Concubine Jiang's faces sank, their smiles could not be maintained, and even a few young masters and girls frowned slightly.

    The lively atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

    The maid who handed tea beside Gu Zezhi and his wife was a little terrified, but only Du Ruo was not surprised.

    Gu Zezhi led Qin Di to Gu Chenzhi and introduced, "Xiao Di, this is the prince."

    Naturally, there is no need to kowtow to Gu Chenzhi. Qin Di is only blessed, and calls out, "I have seen the prince."

    She also learned from Gu Zezhi not to call her big brother, but called him the prince. She took the tea from Du Ruo and handed the tea cup to Gu Chenzhi with both hands.

    Gu Chenzhi frowned slightly, and instead of taking the tea, he picked up another tea cup at hand, making it clear that he would not give Qin Ji any face.

    Seeing this, Concubine Feng felt much more comfortable, knowing that her son was venting her anger.

    Concubine Feng hooked her lips with a smile that was not a smile. She also knew that Qin Di was following Gu Zezhi's instructions, and the husband and wife followed suit, but who asked her to marry Gu Zezhi! The daughter-in-law of the Duan Wangfu is not so easy to be. In the capital, Qin Di has the support of the queen, but this is Xijiang!

    Gu Zezhi's lips still had a smile on his face, and he looked at Gu Chenzhi lightly, his eyes seemed to say that you only have so much ability.

    Gu Chenzhi just watched him so quietly, he felt a burning heart, and his throat was itchy again.

    "Cough cough..." He coughed slightly again.

    Qin Di directly handed the tea back to Du Ruo, and said with a smile: "It seems that the prince is not thirsty. The prince and concubine sing along, and if you think about it, you won't be thirsty anymore, then I will be disrespectful."

    Gu Chenzhi's eyes turned cold in an instant, and his face was ashen.

    The smile on the corner of Feng Side Concubine's mouth disappeared again, her face became extremely ugly, and she tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

    Others looked at this scene with different expressions, especially Concubine Jiang Fang, who calmly gave her children a wink, telling them to take it easy and watch the good show first.

    Although Gu Chenzhi was displeased, he didn't say anything. He was a man, and it was not appropriate for him to quarrel with Qin Di, his sister-in-law.

    Concubine Shizi and his husband and wife had been with him for many years, so she understood her husband's intentions, and deliberately put the tea cup in her hand on the small table next to her.

    She pulled out a sneer and asked Qin Di angrily, "Third sister-in-law, are you dissatisfied with the prince?"

    Sparks blazed in the air.

    An invisible gunpowder wafted out between the two of them.

    Duan Wang frowned slightly when he saw this scene.

    Out of the corner of Concubine Jiang's eyes, she glanced at Duan Wang, picked up the tea cup, and looked out of the way, sighing in her heart.

    She felt that there would be this situation because the princess couldn't think of it, and even at her age, she had to make trouble with the prince.

    The princess is the royal family of the prince, and if the prince will inherit the title in the future, you must be respectful to the prince, otherwise, an unfilial hat will be enough to overwhelm the prince.

    Like today, if the princess was here, she would be the mistress of the palace, and the princess would be a fart in front of the princess and wouldn't dare to let it go. How dare Gu Zezhi and his wife lose the face of Concubine Feng and say aggressively. Say this! As long as the princess said a word, she could punish the prince and concubine to kneel in the ancestral hall.

    As for the rest of the audience, they hooked their lips irrespective of themselves, waiting to see how Qin Di would respond. Anyway, no matter who they help, they can't get anything good.

    For a while, the main hall was quiet, and the maids and ladies serving next to them were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe.

    Facing the sharp eyes of Concubine Shizi, Qin Di still smiled lightly, nodding calmly in response: "I'm dissatisfied."

    The three words made the tea in Jiang Fangfei's mouth almost spit out, with a subtle expression. This Qin Di really dares to say anything, does he have the self-consciousness of a new daughter-in-law!

    The princess didn't expect Qin Di to admit it so calmly, her face sank again, and she said to herself: It seems that the rumor is true, Gu Zezhi's daughter-in-law really grew up in the countryside, with no rules, no manners, no Teach the ring!

    Gu Chenzhi was about to say it was presumptuous, but after all, he still remembered that Duan Wang was still here, his right hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist.

    Qin Di didn't care what they thought at all, raised her chin coquettishly, and said in a plausible manner: "I am the princess of the dignified county, and I am not much different from the prince in terms of grade, but because of family etiquette, the prince has grown a little longer. Years old, I politely offered tea to the prince."

    "It's a courtesy!"

    Qin Di stared straight at Concubine Shizi with clear eyes, but the words in his mouth were addressed to Gu Chenzhi next to her.

    "The prince gave me no face, why should I be shy?"

    "I'm just dissatisfied, what can I do?"

    Duan Wang's brows furrowed even tighter, his face sinking like water.

    Before he could speak, Qin Di took the lead and said: "I also know that the prince is dissatisfied with my failure to offer tea to the concubine side..."

    Saying that, she blinked aggrievedly, took out a handkerchief to cover her eyes, and cried when she cried, "Hey, Concubine Side is Concubine Side, not Concubine Zheng."

    Hearing these words in Concubine Feng's ears, they satirized her and put on the spectrum of Concubine Feng!

    Qin Di continued to wipe away tears, "Hey, my mother-in-law is in the capital."

    Listening to Concubine Feng's ears, she was mocking her. She is not Gu Zezhi's biological mother, so what kind of mother-in-law is she there!

    In this scene, Jiang Fangfei and the others were about to be amazed. Gu Zezhi's new daughter-in-law is amazing!

    Concubine Feng's face was blue, white, purple, and black. The colors changed wonderfully, and she was angry and hated.

    Originally, the princess and the prince were absolutely righteous, and Duan Wang's position in the family was in vain. She gave birth to a son and should be able to be straightened, but the prince didn't mention it at all.

    So, she asked the prince to euphemistically mention it to the prince several times. However, the prince didn't seem to understand, and it was the princess who was talking all day long, saying that the princess was just angry, and after calming down for a year and a half, she would understand.

    Concubine Feng Fei felt that it was Duan Wang who couldn't understand. It's been a year, if the Xiao family will turn back, this time they will go back to the Western Border with Gu Zezhi, which shows that the Xiao family is determined.

    Concubine Feng Fei wanted to give Qin Di a slap in the face, but she didn't expect Qin Di to be so fierce that she dared to confront the elders of her husband's family when she recognized her relatives. This, this... how can a new daughter-in-law be so fierce!

    The more concubine Feng thought about it, the more frustrated she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Qin Di didn't know how to praise her.

    Although she was a side concubine, she was also ordered by the imperial court, and she was the real mother of the prince.

    What if Qin Di is the princess of the county? !

    Their Duan Wang Mansion is the Prince's Mansion, and they are also superior to the King of the County. In the future, they will be the rightful concubine of Duan Wang!

    Qin Di blinked at Gu Zezhi quietly, as if showing off, is she great?

    Before she entered the palace, she told Gu Zezhi that if someone was in trouble, let her handle it herself, and let them know that she was not easy to bully.

    Anyway, no matter what happens, he will give her the queen. She is not worried.

    Gu Zezhi looked at her with a smile, took out a frosty white handkerchief, and wiped the unwarranted tears from the corners of her eyes, looking very considerate.

    Even if he didn't say a word, this faction had silently sworn his attitude that they were one husband and wife.

    Looking at the sweet and greasy appearance of the newlyweds, many people in the hall felt a sour taste, especially a few daughters-in-law, who were either envious or jealous, sighing that Qin Di was really good. Good luck!

    Anyway, she and Gu Zezhi won't stay in the western border, no matter what Feng Fangfei and the prince think, they will return to the capital in a few days and leave.

    In the future, no matter how long the prince is, he will not be able to control the capital.

    Thinking about it, Concubine Jiang's heart became complicated again, and there was a kind of sigh that the same people had different fates.

    The young couple exchanged glances sweetly, when Qin Di turned his head to Duan Wang, his face was aggrieved again, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if tears were about to fall in the next moment, " Father, do you think your daughter-in-law is wrong?

    Duan Wang has always been dignified and said nothing in the palace. In the past, when the Xiao family was there, he managed the palace properly. Duan Wang rarely faced his daughter-in-law and daughters. Those are just greetings.

    At this moment, looking at Qin Di's soft, weak, and pitiful appearance, Duan Wang felt that his scalp was numb, and he just wanted to hurry up and coax her to stop crying.

    Duan Wang said stiffly: "It's the prince who is too rash."

    Everyone around was stunned.

    Duan Wang has always been quite prestige in the palace. In the past, only the princess, the prince and Gu Zezhi could talk to him in front of him. Others, including the second master, the grandson, etc., were inevitably angry with the upper Duan Wang.

    How could Qin Di coax Duan Wang with just a few words and understatement? Are they all daydreaming?

    Concubine Feng almost pinched her thigh to see if she was dreaming.

    The next moment, she saw Duan Wang's sharp eyes shot at her.

    "Feng Shi, you are an elder, and you must be broad-minded!" Duan Wang scolded coldly, feeling that Concubine Feng didn't understand the rules too much.

    Qin Di is the princess of the county appointed by the emperor, and she is also a daughter-in-law, not a concubine's daughter-in-law.

    When Qin Di returned to Beijing and told the princess about this, the princess was afraid that he would think that he was biased again, and she would help Concubine Feng and the prince.

    Concubine Feng: "..."

    Duan Wang glanced at Gu Chenyi with a bit of dissatisfaction, and thought to himself: The son is also, the elder brother is like a father.

    After all, he valued Gu Chenzhi, so although he felt that there was something wrong with him, he still did not reprimand him in person, which gave him a bit of face.

    On the other hand, Concubine Feng did not have the good luck of Gu Chenzhi.

    Duan Wang said in a deep voice, "Speaking of which, Mrs Feng, you are a concubine, and you should bow to Zezhi's daughter-in-law."

    "..."

    The rest of the people around were silent, feeling that the world was simply fantastic.

    Concubine Feng was so angry that she forced herself down, and her eyes turned red.

    Although she is in her early fifties, she has been pampered and maintained properly over the years. She looks like a person in her forties, and her charm is still there.

    Qin Di's reaction was faster than hers, and he said with a flat mouth in grievance: "Father, the daughter-in-law dare not. The side concubine has always given birth to the prince..."

    She is young and good-looking, and she pretends to be a white lotus, which is three points more than Concubine Feng, and looks purer and innocent than the white lotus in the pond.

    Concubine Feng: "!!"

    Duan Wang looked at Concubine Feng again, his voice was slightly heavy, and he shouted in warning: "Feng Shi." He motioned her to salute Qin Di.

    Concubine Feng glanced at Gu Chenzhi and expected Gu Chenzhi to speak to her. However, Gu Chenzhi was bowing his head and coughing slightly. Concubine Shizi caressed his back nervously. tea.

    Concubine Feng could only stand up aggrieved and procrastinated, and bowed her knees and bowed to Qin Di.

    Qin Di refused to let it go, and received a full courtesy from Concubine Feng.

    When the other party finished the ceremony, Qin Di said symbolically: "The side concubine is exempted from the ceremony."

    She smiled and met Concubine Feng's gloomy eyes.

    Duan Wang said lightly: "Since the prince doesn't drink tea, that's fine."

    Gu Chenzhi's face froze, and Concubine Shizi showed anger, but she still didn't dare to say anything.

    Duan Wang consciously acted impartially and made a turmoil invisible. He thought: Zezhi's daughter-in-law and the princess are getting along well. After returning to Beijing, the princess will definitely ask her what happened in the palace, and she will know that he is directly related.

    Thinking about it, Duan Wang's mood became a lot more relaxed, his spirits brightened, and his eyes looking at Qin Di became more loving.

    Gu Zezhi continued to lead Qin Di to recognize her relatives, and took her to a twenty-seven- or eight-year-old man in blue clothes, and introduced with a smile, "Xiao Di, this is the second brother."

    Qin Di offered tea to the other party.

    On the first day of Qin Di's arrival, Concubine Feng, Shizi and Concubine Shizi were slapped in the face, and the other concubines and concubines did not dare to pose any more, and the later recognition of the relatives went smoothly.

    Qin Di knew that he was of high rank, so he specially brought a lot of greetings to the younger brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces under Gu Zezhi.

    Except for the few children of Shizi who were a little cold, everyone else obediently called out to the third aunt, third aunt, third aunt, and so on.

    On the one hand, Qin Di felt that he was being called old again, on the other hand, he sighed that he was really good.

    It seems that Duan Wang is a man who eats soft and not hard. As long as he is accurate, he is very coaxing.

    Although his golden thighs are bad at all, he definitely can't learn to pretend to be a white lotus by himself. Don't blame him.

    Thinking about it, Qin Di laughed silently again, probably only Gu Zezhi could see from the subtle changes in her eyes that she was secretly happy again in her heart.

    Gu Zezhi calmly took her hand and directed her to the next person.

    The people in this room had known each other for almost an hour. Qin Di had a gentle and gentle look, as if he just pretended to be tough.

    Concubine Shizi was so angry that she didn't drink Qin Di's tea in the end.

    If it was someone else, she would still be able to sneer that the new daughter-in-law had not served tea when she got married, which means that there are still people in the husband's family who do not approve of this marriage, but the marriage between Qin Di and Gu Zezhi was given by the emperor. She is the princess of the county conferred by the imperial decree. Even if she said this, she would not be able to get anything cheap.

    The father's fate is bigger than the emperor's fate. As long as the emperor recognizes Qin Di as Gu Zezhi's princess, even King Duan can't deny it.

    not to mention……

    Concubine Shizi looked at Duan Wang with complicated eyes.

    Duan Wang seemed to have his eyes blurred, as if he was very satisfied with Qin Di. Obviously, the last time the prince also said that Duan Wang felt that the daughter-in-law here was a bit strong...

    After recognizing the kiss, everyone moved to the side hall for dinner. There were many people today, and there were three tables full of seats. There was no shortage of delicious food from mountains and seas, chicken, duck, and fish.

    However, Concubine Shizi didn't have any appetite at all, so she didn't eat a few mouthfuls. She glanced back and forth between Duan Wang and Qin Di from time to time. Seeing that Duan Wang always looked kind to Qin Di, she felt even more aggrieved. .

    Obviously, these daughters-in-law have always been with the princess for a long time, and they have to please the princess in everything. King Duan always acts like a father-in-law, and rarely talks to them on his own initiative. ! !

    "Xiao Di," Duan Wang called Qin Di's name very affectionately, thinking that the princess was not there, Qin Di was not familiar with the place in Xijiang, so he said a few more words to her, "The weather in Xijiang is drier than that in Beijing. , you just came, be careful not to get acclimatized."

    "Thank you for your concern, my daughter-in-law is fine." Qin Di said with a smile.

    Although her current body was somewhat malnourished before, it was probably because she had been raised as a weed since she was a child, and she was very adaptable. She moved to another place in the past two years without any discomfort.

    Duan Wang: "It's rare for you to come here. Let Zezhi lead you around tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The folk customs in Western Xinjiang are very different from those in the capital."

    Duan Wang followed by talking about the folk customs and scenic spots in the western Xinjiang, and Qin Di responded with a few words such as "really?"

    While talking, Duan Wang was observing Qin Di, and he was quite satisfied with her eloquent and eloquent answers.

    When they were in the capital, Duan Wang didn't have much contact with Qin Di, and they only knew that he had a strong temperament. Now it seems that it is not bad.

    Also, the daughter-in-law that the princess is optimistic about is not far behind.

    Moreover, Ze Yi was in the capital alone and held a high position. If his daughter-in-law was too soft, he might not be able to manage the inner house.

    This inner house is not only about the internal affairs, but also involves someone who wants to take care of the relationship and get rid of the favor. It must be a mistress who has a heart. Otherwise, Zezhi will have to worry about the inner house when he is outside, which is too hard.

    Furthermore, this daughter-in-law is not so bad-tempered, she always respects the princess and Zezhi in her words and actions, she is well-behaved, and respectful to herself, as a daughter-in-law should do.

    After drinking half a cup of tea, Duan Wang got up and only called the brothers Gu Chenzhi and Gu Zezhi to his study.

    At the end, Duan Wang also instructed Concubine Shizi by the way: "Concubine Shizi, Zezhi's daughter-in-law has just come, you take her to stroll around the palace."

    King Duan ordered, and Concubine Shizi naturally obeyed.

    Duan Wang took Gu Zezhi and Gu Chenzhi away, and Concubine Feng and Concubine Jiang also left with excuses for lack. As for the other men, they all resigned, leaving only those female relatives in the hall.

    Concubine Shi Zi smiled at her, dignified and virtuous, and said, "Third brother and sister, I just finished eating, drink some tea to digest and digest, and I'll take you around the house in a while."

    She made a gesture, and immediately a maid served a cup of flower tea.

    The second and fourth ladies next to them all had subtle expressions, and there was a hint of embarrassment in their eyes.

    Concubine Shizi looks kind and generous, and is always respectful in front of Wang Ye and Wang Fei, but she is actually very small-minded.

    In the past, it was the same when they married into the palace.

    Concubine Shi insisted on pulling them to talk, asking people to serve them tea, and pouring them cup after cup of tea. They were not careful at first. they go.

    If they don't ask for mercy, they will be ugly. If they are really ugly, even if they are embarrassed in the palace, they can only be soft.

    From the beginning to the end, Concubine Shizi was kind to them on the face, making them suffer and have nowhere to complain.

    To put it bluntly, Concubine Shi's tricks are not very clever, that is, because she is Concubine Shizi and the future Princess Duan, so they can't completely turn against her, so they can only bite their teeth and swallow them.

    To put it bluntly, Concubine Shi was just demonstrating against them, to let them know their duty and not to have unreasonable thoughts.

    As for Concubine Shisun, as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't resist her mother-in-law, she could only endure and endure it, just as her mother's family persuaded her, a daughter-in-law for many years had become a mother-in-law, but Concubine Shizi did not endure the princess.

    And this time, Concubine Shizi was obviously targeting Qin Di again.

    The second lady and the fourth lady exchanged glances, and they couldn't tell what they were expecting.

    Concubine Shizi looked at Qin Di fixedly, smiling amiably, and the bottom of her eyes showed the inevitable coldness.

    She just wanted to convince Qin Di and let her know who was respected and who was inferior in this Duan Wangfu.

    Qin Di stood up with a smile and looked at Concubine Shizi with a look of "Are you stupid?"

    The fake smile on Concubine Shizi's face was so obvious, and she didn't know what to feel at ease. Why did she spend time socializing?

    Qin Di said simply: "Concubine Shi doesn't like me, and I don't like you either, so don't drink tea together to avoid nausea."

    After she finished speaking, she followed Gu Zezhi's example and casually brushed her sleeves, admitting that she had learned 90% of his essence from this movement, and then left without even looking at Concubine Shi.

    The second lady, the fourth lady, the granddaughter and the other girls in the palace were all stunned.Can it be like this?!

    Concubine Shizi was even more shocked by Qin Di's unreasonable play.She has never seen such an arrogant person!

    In Xijiang, she was the imperial concubine. Even when the Xiao family was still a princess, she was kind and gentle, and seldom said a harsh word.She has been married for 20 years, and the whole palace is respectful and courteous to her!

    And now, she was slapped like this by a wild girl who grew up in the countryside!
