Chapter 1881: Chapter 1883: The Noble Princess Concubine’s Decree
The words of First Madam Luo conveyed a lot of information, making people feel uncomfortable; but she was right about one thing, Yang Chuxia rarely socialized with the noblewomen of the Capital City.
On normal days, she either went to the Mu Residence or Prince Zhuang’s Mansion, both of which were not places just anyone could visit.
As for Prince An’s Mansion, it had a special status, and in addition, since Ye Zi’an had been dismissed from his position before, after arriving in the Capital City, even though Lele was a prince, other families rarely invited Yang Chuxia to their events, and Yang Chuxia herself wasn’t willing to go either.
If she didn’t go, then Yang Xiayun and Luo Linyu, the two young girls, couldn’t go either.
Therefore, she was not very familiar with those noblewomen of the Capital City, but even if she wasn’t familiar with them, did it give others the right to gossip?
Moreover, what did she say? That this Li Susu is also going to marry Linhao? And received the Noble Princess Consort’s decree?
Damn, this Noble Princess Consort is too idle, isn’t she?
"Advice is one thing, but!" Yang Chuxia thought for a moment before saying, "After Yunyun marries Linhao, the families they associate with will be those like the Prince’s Mansion or the Mu Residence, so ordinary officials’ daughters probably won’t understand the rules of a prince’s or noble family."
Li Susu’s father was also a vice minister like Ye Zi’an, but one was from the Ministry of Rites and the other from the Ministry of War.
Although both were vice ministers, Ye Zi’an had a lot more advantages, he was young, favored by the Emperor, and had a prince in the family, so naturally, they couldn’t be compared.
"Moreover, until the wedding day comes, it’s uncertain whether she will be married alongside her or on her own!"
"What does Madam Ye mean by this?" First Madam Luo thought to herself that the Noble Princess Consort had already decreed it, could it be that Yang Chuxia still intended to cause trouble?
"Just what it means literally!" Yang Chuxia snorted coldly, "Luo Linhao wanting to enjoy the blessing of having two wives is impossible. A girl from the Yang Family will not share a husband with another, nor will she become a concubine. As for those shameless ones who insist on interfering, we won’t be afraid of them."
With these words, she glanced at Li Susu, sneering at how such a fine girl chose to snatch men, utterly reckless!
"Hehe, Madam Ye, as women, it’s better not to be too jealous, especially men from noble families like ours, who doesn’t have a few concubines? Besides, this is Her Highness Noble Princess Consort’s decree. Also, my niece is not becoming a concubine, after all, she is a legitimate daughter, how can she condescend to the status of a concubine?"
"Is that so?" Yang Chuxia snorted coldly.
"Of course!" First Madam Luo said softly again, "The noble princess said, my niece should be the principal wife, but your sister is ultimately from a small family, how can she take the position of the principal wife in a noble family? However, since she has an engagement with Linhao, she will be made a Madam Ping, to not let down your sister."
Madam Ping? It sounds nice to be called a proper wife, but in seriousness, it doesn’t carry the legitimate status like a principal wife, and in front of the principal wife, she would inevitably be one notch lower.
These two wretches, they subtly put her sister one notch below?
"Aunt..." Li Susu tugged at First Madam Luo. She secretly blamed her, how could her aunt be so impatient to spill everything?
All had been agreed with the Noble Princess Consort, not to speak of who is greater or lesser for now; wait till after the ceremony, when the decree from the Noble Princess Consort is issued, that would then decide who holds a higher position, by then the situation would be set, and no matter how much Prince An’s Mansion disagreed, it couldn’t change this fact.
As long as that person is positioned lower than her, she believed that with her skills, she would quickly render the other unable to stand firm in the mansion, so what if they got along well, so what if they were childhood sweethearts, just a country bumpkin.
