Xiao Concubine enjoyed all the way and arrived in Kyoto safely without suffering any crime.
"Okay, you can go back on your own for the rest of the way, I still have important things to deal with."
Zhao Zun gently pinched Xiao Concubine's cheek, and after spending eight or nine days together, he became more and more reluctant to let Xiao Concubine leave his eyes.
Concubine Xiao nodded, "Let's go."
Seeing her heartless appearance, Zhao Zun shook his head and left.
As soon as Concubine Xiao entered the mansion, she went to look for Mrs. Xiao, but before she got close, a long sigh floated into her ears.
"Why!"
"Grandmother!" Concubine Xiao trotted into the house, Mrs. Xiao was stunned when she saw Concubine Xiao, and then said pleasantly, "Xiao Jiu is back!"
Concubine Xiao walked over and hugged Mrs. Xiao's arm tightly, "Grandmother, Xiao Jiu misses you."
Mrs. Xiao ruthlessly rebuked the right minister in her heart, she hugged Xiao concubine and called her sweetheart.
The two hugged each other and cried, and the right minister at the door just stepped in with one foot, and seeing the unnatural appearance of the two of them, he was about to turn around and leave.
"Stop!" Mrs. Xiao glared angrily.
Prime Minister on the right smiled, "Mother."
"Father." Xiao Yu obediently called her father.
"good."
Concubine Xiao hurriedly took out the presents, which filled the table, and one of the boxes was given to her by Yao Banxian before she left.
"Grandmother, this is the tonic of Yaobanxian Tiao, which is specially designed to cure grandma's nightmares every night."
Madam Xiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, she had been tormented by this nightmare for several years, no matter how many pharmacies she took, it would be of no avail, if it could be cured, it would be considered a pain for the old lady.
However, it was Xiao Concubine who warmed the old lady's heart the most. When she was away from home, she could still think about herself all the time, so it didn't hurt in vain.
"Father, this is plum blossom wine for you and the top-quality Dahongpao produced in the villa. I picked them myself."
Xiao Concubine's face was neither red nor her heart was beating, she did pick a few tea leaves, almost tore off the tea tree branch, Shen Yi and Shen Feng helped to get it together.
Prime Minister on the right nodded, with a look of relief, "Xiao Jiu is a big girl now."
Concubine Xiao squinted her right eye for no reason, "Xiao Jiu has only been away for more than three months, how did she grow up?"
The right side smiled and said nothing.
At this time Ruan Nanny came in, Xiao Concubine rummaged through a box and handed it to Ruan Nanny, "This is also an ointment prescribed by Yao Banxian. You can soak your feet when your legs are cold, and it will be fine after a while."
Ruan Nanny was flattered, "Miss Jiu?"
"Just put it away, it's not in vain for you to favor Xiao Jiu." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.
"Hey." Nurse Ruan took it, her eyes flushed, she had served Mrs. Xiao for forty years, she was like a sister, and she also watched Concubine Xiao grow up little by little, needless to say her feelings.
Nanny Ruan really didn't want to disturb the atmosphere, so it took her a long time to bite the bullet and say, "Madam, the young lady is outside the door."
After the words fell, the old lady's face became heavy and she snorted heavily, her good mood was gone.
Concubine Xiao didn't understand, so Nanny Ruan whispered something in Concubine Xiao's ear, and Concubine Xiao's eyes widened.
Xiao Ying climbed onto the eldest prince's bed
"Let her in." Mrs. Xiao's face was solemn.
After a while, Xiao Ying walked in, and after three months of not seeing Xiao Ying, she became more and more radiant, her eyes were red as if she was about to cry, and her white plain dress became more and more soft and pitiful.
Xiao Ying looked up and saw Xiao Concubine slightly stunned, "Xiao Jiu?"
"Elder Sister." Concubine Xiao called out in a low voice, standing behind Mrs. Xiao without saying a word, as if she had nothing to do with herself.
Madam Xiao squinted at Xiao Ying, "Have you figured it out?"
Xiao Ying quickly came back to her senses, bit her lip and plopped on the ground, "Grandmother, my granddaughter has lost her virginity to the eldest prince, and there is a lot of trouble, there is no other way but to marry the eldest prince, granddaughter..."
Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, "Marry? The Xiao family doesn't have that kind of luck yet. The family has two concubines!"
Xiao Ying raised her eyes in an instant and cried, "Grandmother!"
The Right Prime Minister made it clear that he didn't want to get involved with the Eldest Prince's faction, and the two sisters, Xiao Ying, followed suit one by one.
"Your aunt can't even teach a daughter well. When it comes to He Zhijia, I trust her so much and leave the family affairs to her."
Mrs. Xiao was afraid for a while, Fan had hidden evil intentions, and she was always thinking of getting ahead, trying to play tricks in front of her.
Fortunately, I discovered it early, otherwise Xiao Concubine would have been taught astray.
"If my sister conceived before marriage, and you lost your innocence again, you still think that the Prime Minister's face has not been completely humiliated, don't you?"
The more Mrs. Xiao talked, the more angry she became. She wished she could beat Xiao Ying to death with a stick. I didn't know that she believed Xiao Ying's mother and daughter before, and thought Xiao Ying was a cute girl. She was mistaken!
"Auntie?" Xiao Ying was confused, her heart sank, she shook her head, "Grandmother, I am the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu, and my mother is the eldest wife of the Xiangfu, not my aunt."
If the Fan family became an aunt, then she would become a concubine, how could she be worthy of the position of the eldest concubine
"Mother?" Mrs. Xiao sneered, "Your mother was a concubine at first, and your mother is Minhe princess, but let a concubine take care of the house for a few days, and you really don't know who you are!"
As he said that, a figure rushed in, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mrs. Xiao, "Old lady, all my mistakes are my fault, but sister Ying is innocent. If my son loses her status as a concubine, how will she gain a foothold in the future, if sister Ying marries into the First Prince's Mansion, it will be beneficial to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future."
The person who rushed in was Fan Shi, who had been standing outside for a long time, and immediately panicked when he heard the word "auntie".
"Master, my concubine has been serving her with all her heart and soul for so many years. She has never dared to be negligent. There is hard work without credit. Sister Ying is only sixteen years old. I can't ruin my life because of my concubine."
Fan climbed under the right minister's knees, and kept talking to the right minister.
Xiao Ying bit her lip, "Father, my daughter is innocent."
Prime Minister Right lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then slowly said, "Now there are two ways, if you insist on marrying the First Prince, you can cut off contact with the Prime Minister's House, or you can continue to be your eldest daughter, and I will prepare for you in the future." The last dowry will find you a wealthy family."
Xiao Ying bit her lips tightly and looked at the right minister in disbelief.
"Father, why are you so unfeeling to me? I am also your daughter. If this matter were changed to Xiao Jiu, father would be so persistent?"
Prime Minister on the right frowned, a little displeased with Xiao Ying's questioning attitude, "Xiao Jiu doesn't need to rely on this method, you can do it yourself!"
Being stared at by Prime Minister Right's penetrating eyes, Xiao Ying suddenly fell silent, as if all these methods were seen by Prime Minister Right.
The Prime Minister on the right said it well, Concubine Xiao's status was enough for the Eldest Prince to ask for marriage, but Concubine Xiao refused because of her ignorance.
"Father, if the daughter becomes a concubine, won't she slap the eldest prince in the face, and the prime minister will offend the eldest prince."
Xiao Ying didn't believe it, Prime Minister Right was not afraid of offending the First Prince at all.
The right minister smiled coldly, "How did sister Ruo get married, have you forgotten?"
Xiao Ying's heart sank when she heard the words, and her little face turned pale. When Xiao Ruo married the third prince, the right minister was able to drive Xiao Ruo out of the house directly. The third prince is the eldest prince's younger brother.
If you are afraid of offending, why bother to drive Xiao Ruo away, and why send the third prince to Liangzhou to suffer and suffer, the third prince must hate the right minister to death in his heart.
And the eldest prince is not, but he will need the power of the right minister for a while, so he has to play tricks.
Once the eldest prince turns over one day, he will be the first to deal with the right minister.
Since they have already been offended to death, why should the Prime Minister find it boring to help the First Prince, not to mention that the Right Prime Minister and the First Prince had a bad quarrel a few days ago, and the Right Prime Minister was merciless at all.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ying's heart sank a little bit, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her.
Out of the corner of Xiao Ying's eyes, she saw Xiao Concubine who was opposite her. Why would she be suppressed by Xiao Concubine for the rest of her life? The eldest prince and the third prince are both the emperor's sons, if one day... .
Xiao Ying was silent for a while, and Fan's pleading was in her ears.
Xiao Ying stood up slowly.
"Sister Ying?" Fan was stunned.
"Since father can help Fifth Sister obtain the position of Third Prince's Concubine, why not help me too."
Xiao Ying took a deep breath, she would definitely help the First Prince to sit in that position, and sooner or later she would make the Prime Minister regret it.
It's better to take a gamble than to live aggrieved.
"The third prince asked the emperor to marry sister Ruo as his official wife. If the eldest prince is like the third prince, the truth will never stop him!"
The Prime Minister on the right was somewhat disappointed, and was not at all surprised by what happened today, as if he had already guessed that Xiao Ying would make such a choice.
