Mo Xuetong's heart stirred, her watery eyes blinked, she thought for a moment, looked a little uncertain, and said hesitantly: "I heard that the most favored empress in the palace is not Concubine Jade, but Concubine Zhao of Mingyue Palace. I heard that she has been favored for many years, and even the queen can't do anything to her."
"Concubine Xian, Concubine Zhao?" He Yuxiu's face couldn't help but be filled with joy, but she reacted quickly, murmured a few words to herself, immediately suppressed the ecstasy in her eyes, and pretended to be envious: "That Concubine Zhao How favored the empress must be, but the empress does not dare to block her, I don’t know what kind of fairy-like person she is."
He Yuxiu felt that everything was covered up just right, but she didn't expect that Mo Xuetong kept staring at her reaction, and the instant expression on her face was naturally noticed. Is the Concubine Zhao in the palace related to the He family
Just now, He Yuxiu unconsciously pronounced the names of Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhao together, which in itself represented a profound meaning.
"I heard that Concubine Zhao has been living in the Mingyue Palace. The emperor did not want to pay greetings to Concubine Zhao, but he was afraid that someone would harm the concubine. Even the entrance of the palace was guarded by guards sent by the emperor, and the protection was very thorough."
Such a great favor, if not for the fact that Concubine Zhao came from a small family and did not serve in the capital. In addition, although Emperor Zongwen was very strict, he did not live in Mingyue Palace against the rules. I usually only go there once or twice a month, so I can't stir up too much trouble in the hearts of the beauties in the harem, so I've been living in peace for so many years.
Although she had a reputation as a favorite, she was not favored, nor did she benefit the family, nor did she have any heirs. Therefore, neither the former court nor the harem dealt with her harshly. Some concubines even thought that there was such a person. She is not a bad person, at least if she is favored, she will not be so conspicuous. Therefore, the concubine Zhao can be said to be invisible in the palace, but she is a figure that everyone knows.

Since the He family has hooked up with Yu Mingyong, Mo Xuetong doesn't believe that the He family doesn't know about it!
"Empress Zhao is so favored." A hint of deep excitement flashed through He Yuxiu's eyes, which immediately turned into an innocent smile. She pulled Mo Xuetong's sleeve and said affectionately: "Cousin, if I can meet this empress , I would be willing to die after seeing her fairy-like appearance.”
"Second cousin, you want to meet Concubine Zhao?" Mo Xuetong asked with a smile.
"Cousin, is that okay?" He Yuxiu asked pitifully, with a look of longing on her face. Although she was slightly concealing it, no one could see the expectation in her eyes!
Looking at such a pair of longing eyes, especially these eyes that make people feel innocent, it is really hard to refuse!
What makes people feel incongruous is that the woman opposite her looks more innocent and childish than her.
"If my second cousin really wants to see Concubine Zhao, there will be a feast in the palace in a few days. How about she come with me to the palace? I heard that Concubine Zhao will also show up on that day." Mo Xuetong seemed to not care about the invitation. He said, a smile on his lips that was extremely pure, a slight smile that was extremely bright.
This is the most popular news in the past few days. It is that the imperial concubine Zhao who has been locked in the palace for more than ten years will attend the banquet together. It is also a highlight of the Spring Breeze Banquet.
Three days later is the Spring Breeze Banquet. There is a feast in the palace, and the harem has set up other events. I heard that the concubines in each palace have already been gearing up, just waiting for that day to be beautifully presented in front of the emperor. Once they are favored, From now on, the old person has a new look! Although there were many women in Emperor Zongwen's harem, there were no special favors. Everyone felt that their appearance was stunning, and they should be able to lure the superior monarch to worship under his pomegranate skirt.
There is one day every spring, when the flowers are in full bloom. It is indeed a grand event in the world to see beauties scattered like clouds. On this day, it can be regarded as an open festival among the people. Men and women can travel together. It is nothing. Just in the palace. There will be a banquet, and some ladies and ladies of high rank will be invited to the palace together.
Hearing what Mo Xuetong said, He Yuxiu hid the lust in her eyes, only showed an innocent smile, and nodded happily: "Thank you, cousin, thank you, cousin, I know that cousin loves me the most."
This kind of expression is the most endearing on the face of a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old girl, but the person she is facing is a girl who is purer than she looks, so it seems a bit weird. Mo Lan lowered his head calmly. , suppressing the ridicule in her eyes, this cousin really thought that she was the princess's cousin, and she was really embarrassed to act coquettishly.
The two chatted for a few more words, then Mo Xuetong took Mo Lan and others to leave, got on the carriage and returned to his house.
After seeing Mo Xuetong's carriage disappear, He Yuxiu stopped the smile on her face, turned around and entered the door with the maid beside her. The door was locked behind her, and she led the people to turn right from the path. Go over there.
There was a small study there, and someone had been waiting at the door. They were two servants brought by the He family. When they saw He Yuxiu coming, they took two steps back, gave up their position, and said respectfully: "Second Miss! You two. The master is waiting for you!"
He Yuxiu nodded and left the maid outside the door. Come in!
Sitting in the middle of the room were the eldest and second masters of the He family. Sitting on the right was actually the eldest lady of the He family, He Yufen, who was said to be hiding in shame while embroidering her dowry!
"How's it going?" Seeing He Yuxiu, the uncle of the He family who was sitting in the middle raised his eyes and asked.
"Uncle, don't worry. The princess has promised to bring me in for the palace banquet in three days." He Yuxiu smiled and saluted the two people among them, and was placed on the left side. There was strangely no one else in the room, only a few heads of the household. , the rest of the people stayed outside the door.
"If you really agree, as long as you go to the palace to see the empress, you can say something, and our family will finally be able to make a difference." The second master of the He family did not expect it to go so smoothly, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Father, why do we have to see the empress? The empress has no heirs. Could it be that she is more powerful than my cousin?" He Yufen asked in confusion. The family went to the capital after all the hardships just to see the lady. It really doesn't make sense that Concubine Zhao is the empress instead of Prince Xuan's cousin.
No matter how strong Concubine Zhao is, she is just a woman. How much future can a favored woman have if she has no heirs
Looking at her father and uncle with happy faces, she felt that they really didn't understand.
"What do children know!" The eldest master of the He family glanced at each other, and both saw the excitement in the other's eyes. After waiting for so many years, the He family was finally getting ahead, so why not cheer them up.
"Father, what about the Yu family's marriage..." He Yufen hesitated for a moment, then asked the question, looking at her father expectantly.
Everyone in the capital doesn't know what Yu Mingyong's reputation is. Now that his father's goal has been achieved, can he regret this marriage? Thinking of seeing Yu Mingyong's appearance, he just felt like he had swallowed a fly. It was generally uncomfortable. When he saw a beautiful woman, his eyes seemed to glow, staring at himself and his second sister. His eyes were sticky, giving a feeling of naked prying eyes.
Which woman would really marry such a person!
"Concubine Zhao is favored, and Concubine Jade is not bad either. What's more, Concubine Jade has a prince in her belly. If the two empresses can cooperate, from now on..." The second master of the He family was in a happy mood, and laughed and said what was in his heart. After I said it, I saw the stunned eyes of my daughter and niece, and immediately woke up, suppressed my smile, coughed twice and became serious.
"We can't rely on this marriage. The Jade Concubine is being favored. She has only one younger brother in her natal family. From now on, she will definitely rely on her own brother. If Fen'er marries into the Yu family, she will be the sister-in-law of the Jade Concubine's natal family. From now on, the favor will be There must be a lot of favors. Once the Jade Concubine gives birth to an heir, her status will be even higher. Fen'er will be waiting to enjoy the blessings!" Uncle He family said with a smile.
There was another sentence he didn't say. Concubine Zhao rarely showed up. If He Yufen had the opportunity to enter the palace from time to time, he would naturally be able to meet this mysterious concubine Zhao. If he knew that she was from the He family, he would like to see concubine Zhao. She will definitely be willing to help the He family more. Concubine Zhao is not that foreigner. She must be thinking about the He family wholeheartedly.
It’s just around the corner for the He family to become a big family!
"Father..." He Yufen didn't think that far. As long as she thought of Yu Mingyong's charming look, she couldn't stand it anymore. She boldly held the handkerchief and said anxiously: "Didn't Father say that as long as he can see Concubine Zhao?" Your Majesty, aren’t you sure about this?”
"Okay, for a girl's family, what do you want to do? This marriage is the most suitable." When the uncle of the He family saw the look of his eldest daughter, his face darkened, and a coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly.
After saying this, He Yufen's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she was so aggrieved that she couldn't even speak.
It was obvious that the agreement was only temporary, so why did he really let himself marry that libertine and talk about what kind of blessings he would enjoy? Whether he could live or not was still a question. He Yufen had already made it clear to others that the man was a gangster who not only robbed Men dominate women. When they see something good, whether it is a big girl or a young wife, they all drag it home. They don’t care what other people are like. How can you be happy when you marry such a person
No, she doesn't want it! She would never marry that kind of person!
But she didn't dare to go against Uncle He's family.
"Sister, did that woman just come to the yard to inquire about us?" He Yuxiu saw that she looked wrong and asked with a smile, changing the subject.
"I was inquiring. I asked other people to call her away. The other people couldn't talk to us and couldn't come to us at ordinary times. I asked her to ask a few questions. I was too tight-knit for fear that they would get angry. Question." He Yufen raised a smile and said.
"Sister, you don't have to be so careful. Our little cousin-in-law has never been a shrewd person. I heard that she was a loser when she was in Mo Mansion. Otherwise, how could a dignified legitimate daughter be bullied like this? Not only was he left in Yuncheng for many years, but he was also crushed to death by a concubine." He Yuxiu sneered disdainfully.
She really didn't like Mo Xuetong. If it weren't for his decent face, she wouldn't have settled for a good marriage like her cousin. She thought that her cousin was as handsome as a god, so why did she marry such a person? A woman who is not favored cannot help her cousin at all. If she can win his favor, she will definitely help her wholeheartedly!
"Okay, everyone, please pay attention. Although Princess Xuan is young, she cannot be spied on. Xiu'er, you must also be careful, don't let her take advantage of the loopholes and discover our intentions." The second master of the He family glared at Mo, clearly looking down on Mo. He Yuxiu, with snow eyes, said that Princess Xuan looked innocent, pure, and without any city government. She almost responded to what they said!
The result of the inquiry was that she was suppressed by her concubine and was thrown into Yuncheng. It seemed that all the words came out with only one meaning. This Princess Xuan was useless, but was that really the case? It is her concubine sister and aunt who are now in ruins, and even her only concubine brother has no good reputation!
Is such a woman really so innocent and cute that she is mentally retarded
the answer is negative!
The two men of the He family never dared to underestimate Princess Xuan. (To be continued)
