"Grandmother, why don't you ask Cai Ju to come over and find out, she is the maid next to Xiao Jiu, and she knows best about the fact that there is a foreigner in Xiao Jiu's room." Xiao Ying said eagerly.
Mrs. Xiao didn't believe Xiao Ying's nonsense, she framed Concubine Xiao endlessly, and winked at Nanny Ruan.
"Miss Ying, please." Ruan Nanny couldn't get used to seeing Xiao Ying slander Xiao Concubine like that just now, and she didn't take a good look at Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying's face turned red, and she watched Mrs. Xiao take Concubine Xiao away. Mrs. Xiao didn't pay attention to what she said, it's really unreasonable!
Mrs. Xiao did not turn her head, and comforted Concubine Xiao softly.
Concubine Xiao shook her head, "Grandmother, Xiao Jiu is fine. You can prove Xiao Jiu's innocence, Xiao Jiu has a clear conscience, and Xiao Jiu can manage her own yard well."
Mrs. Xiao almost turned into a puddle of water when she heard the words, "Good boy, the one raised by this aunt can't get on the stage, and the good girl was taught badly. One or two have the same virtues. Fortunately, grandma still has Xiaojiu. , Grandmother naturally believes in you."
Mrs. Xiao didn't even ask about picking chrysanthemums. It's time for Concubine Xiao to handle it by herself, and she can't just protect her. Sooner or later, Concubine Xiao will have to deal with these matters alone.
A few years ago, the reason why Mrs. Xiao helped Fan Shi to be her main wife was also because when she was a child, Xiao Concubine often had nightmares and cried violently. It was Fan who stayed by Xiao Concubine's side all the time, and made Xiao Concubine unable to leave. fan.
Concubine Xiao was bewitched by Fan, and in front of Mrs. Xiao and the Prime Minister, she acted that she couldn't do without Fan. Later, for the sake of Concubine Xiao's future status, it spread that she would not be raised by a concubine.
So the old lady straightened Fan's family, and they lived in peace for so many years, until the incident between Xiao Ruo and the third prince happened.
Only then did Mrs. Xiao see the true face of the Fan family. The two daughters of the Fan family were even more ambitious and deep in their hearts, and they repeatedly framed Xiao Concubine.
As for Fan's biological mother, she was naturally partial to her own daughter, so much so that she forgot how she was helped by the concubine in the first place.
Just as he was talking, this Fan family came.
"Mother, it's my concubine's poor education. The two children were confused and provoked for a while, so Xiao Jiu was wronged. Xiao Jiu, mother will kowtow to you and admit your mistake. Please forgive your eldest sister and fifth sister."
After speaking, Fan knelt down, crying with snot and tears.
Concubine Xiao raised her red lips, "Mother? I'm a concubine and you're just a concubine, how dare you call me a concubine's mother?"
Fan was taken aback, "Xiao Jiu?"
"The third imperial concubine and Ms. Ying dare to do it or not? If I knew this before, why did I do it in the first place? The two girls are worthy of crawling out of Aunt Fan's belly. The deep relationship between mother and daughter is touching."
Concubine Xiao looked at Fan sarcastically, "If it were another scene today, what would Aunt Fan do?"
Aunt Fan choked, she was aware of what Xiao Ying called Xiao Ruo, and she even helped her out.
"Xiao Jiu, anyway, I have raised you for a few years. Have you forgotten everything in the past? If you make a mistake today, I will definitely intercede for you. I treat you and my two sisters the same. Never had selfishness."
Fan wiped her tears and cried sadly and helplessly, "You sisters are at odds, I feel more uncomfortable than anyone else, what kind of evil-hearted servant is trying to provoke our relationship!"
Concubine Xiao smiled angrily, "Xiao Ruo was forced to conceive the third prince's child without shame? Xiao Ying went to find Xiao Ruo today. Her father once said that Xiao Ruo was not allowed to step into the prime minister's house, but she went all the way unimpeded. How can this be explained, Aunt Fan, if you want to hear all the past, I can tell you one by one!"
Aunt Fan froze for a moment, took a deep breath and tried not to care about Xiao Jiu's aunt and contemptuous eyes, "Xiao Jiu, this is really wronged."
"Bring today's gatekeeper!" Mrs. Xiao also remembered this, and said coldly.
Fan's eyelids twitched, unexpectedly, Xiao Concubine caught on to this mistake and would not let it go.
"Your fifth elder sister is the concubine of the third prince after all, how can a prime minister stop her?" Fan insisted.
"Xiao Ruo, who is just a princess and concubine, dares to trespass on the mansion of a first-rank official, is she worthy? When the eldest prince arrives, he has to notify her. What is Xiao Ruo?"
Xiao Concubine simply tore her face apart, saving herself the trouble of going around the corner!
Fan's face froze, she couldn't figure out why Xiao Concubine changed her appearance in a short period of time, and went against their mother and daughter everywhere.
The last time when Xiao Concubine was away at the Leisure Villa, Fan's eyes were fixed on Linglong Pavilion, the slaves and servants up and down, Fan's analysis was thorough, and someone must have instigated something in front of Xiao Concubine.
Only Caiju vomited that there was a man in Concubine Xiao's room who often came, and Fan thought everything through, and originally planned to save this trick for future use.
Unexpectedly, the matter of Xiao Ying and the eldest prince was made public, so Fan had no choice but to find ways to get Xiao Concubine into the water together. With Xiao Concubine here, the old lady and the Prime Minister would have scruples and would not severely punish Xiao Ying.
Surprisingly, Concubine Xiao was still perfect, and the old lady was furious and wanted to remove Xiao Ruo and Xiaoying's surname, Fan's panicked.
"Xiao Jiu, the matter of your fifth sister is that she offended you because of her ignorance. Your father has already severely punished her. Now that your fifth sister has been pointed out everywhere, she already knows that she is wrong. Now that the matter has come to an end, you are an adult and don't remember the villain's mistakes." , forgive her."
Concubine Xiao raised her lips and sneered, "I'm not that magnanimous. Xiao Ruo robbed me of my marriage and made me lose face, and Xiao Ying ruined my reputation. Aunt Fan kept saying that she treated me like her own daughter. Instead of blaming them, she begged for my forgiveness. You're taking yourself too seriously!"
"When Xiao Ruo got married, I already gave you a chance." Mrs. Xiao said leisurely, her tone was calm, but there was a coldness in her eyes. If you do it, you should think about the consequences in the future, Fan, don't you forget why you supported a concubine of yours to sit in the majestic position of the wife of the Right Prime Minister?"
Fan's back felt a chill, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and he was shocked, "Old... old madam?"
Mrs. Xiao looked solemn, "As for you, your poor upbringing has damaged the reputation of the Prime Minister's House. I thought that you have been in charge of the Prime Minister's Household affairs for so many years. You have worked hard without merit. I have forgiven you once before. I didn't expect that you still don't know how to repent! "
Fan had a bad premonition, and kowtowed to Madam Xiao to beg for mercy, "Old Madam, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."
"It's late!" Mrs. Xiao suddenly slapped the table, "The three of you, mother and daughter, repeatedly challenged the Prime Minister's bottom line, and forgot your duty!"
Soon the butler brought all the gatekeepers, and a dozen people stood in a row.
Mrs. Xiao said coldly, "Whoever allowed you to put the third concubine into the mansion, if one person tells a lie, the whole family will sell it!"
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, their eyes showed fear, and they involuntarily glanced at Fan, and Fan's eyelids twitched.
"The old lady asked a question, don't hurry up!" The housekeeper sternly said.
Fan's heart was in his throat, and he clenched his fists tightly, trying not to look at the guards.
"Old lady, Nanny Shen committed suicide by jumping into a well!"
Suddenly a young servant ran in, holding a letter in his hand, "I found this by the well."
Mrs. Xiao squinted at the butler, and the butler took the letter. The general content was that Nanny Shen shouldered the responsibility alone. , Putting the third concubine into the mansion privately has nothing to do with the Fan family.
The servant girl next to the third concubine is Shen Momo's daughter.
Looking at it is a good excuse for a perfect fit!
Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Old Madam, Madam Shen has always treated Sister Ruo as if she was her own, so she got offended because she was confused for a moment."
As soon as Nanny Shen died, Mrs. Fan directly shifted the responsibility to Nanny Shen. Even if the old lady wanted to punish her, she would not punish her heavily.
"Going back to the old lady, Shen Momo took the token of the lady and let the third concubine enter the mansion. She said that the old lady was seriously ill and wanted to see her granddaughter. The servant deserves to die."
More than a dozen people plopped on their knees and directly confessed to Nanny Shen.
Mrs. Xiao said with a cold face, "Today's guards will all be punished with fifty boards, so as to make an example to others!"
More than a dozen guards knelt down and begged for mercy, their faces ashen ashes, Fan's face turned pale, and he looked at Mrs. Xiao beggingly, she had a hunch that she shouldn't have come here at all today!
Mrs. Xiao glanced at Fan Shi, "Nurse Shen is your servant, not to mention whether you ordered her to steal your token and wantonly spread rumors. You have an inescapable responsibility!"
"Old madam, I didn't know that Nanny Shen would do this, I'm guilty, please forgive me..." Fan's heart beat, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Mrs. Xiao took a few steps slowly, the anger radiating from her body was frightening.
"In addition, there is no wife in this mansion, only Aunt Fan who prayed for the prime minister's mansion and went to practice in Nantai Mountain!"
"Old madam!" Fan kept shaking her head, "Old madam is wrong, I am willing to pray for the prime minister's mansion, isn't there a small Buddhist hall in the backyard of the prime minister's mansion, I am willing to eat fast and chant Buddha to make amends, please old lady show mercy."
Fan really panicked this time, her heartbeat accelerated and fluctuated, and she held on to the old lady's skirt tightly, regretting endlessly.
"If the concubine is sent out of the mansion at this time, it is inevitable that the world will say that the Xiangfu is ungrateful and impersonal, and it will be detrimental to Xiaojiu in the future. Madam, think twice!"
Mrs. Xiao squinted at the butler, who immediately took the guard away, leaving only Mrs. Xiao's confidants.
Mrs. Xiao lowered her head and looked at Fan's coldly, "Put away all your little tricks. Since ancient times, there have been countless aunts, concubines and aunts who have died of illness. Who cares about the life and death of an aunt?"
Fan Shi was shocked, and the murderous intent in Mrs. Xiao's eyes frightened Fan Shi let go and fell to the ground.
If Fan insists on staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there will only be one death in the end!
The Prime Minister's Mansion will never tolerate a person who repeatedly puts the Prime Minister's Mansion into dangerous situations. Keeping Fan's life alive is already the greatest limit of Mrs. Xiao.
"Pack up your things and leave now!"
Mrs. Xiao glanced at Ruan Nanny, who nodded knowingly.
Fan's face was pale and was supported by the maid to stand up. After being the wife of the Xiangfu for so many years, who would not be polite and flattering to see her
The two daughters are the best in Kyoto, talented and beautiful, gentle and charming, and everyone praises them. I don't know when everything has changed.
Fan looked dazedly at the demure and elegant Xiao Concubine, who had a dusty temperament, and Xiao Concubine suddenly raised her eyes, the cunning, intelligence and slight mockery in her eyes were not concealed!
Fan was startled for a while, and even had the intuition of falling into a trap after being calculated, everything was under Xiao Yu's control.
No, it's impossible, Xiao Concubine is just a child, and she has grown up under her nose for so many years, it is absolutely impossible for her to have such abilities.
But that pair of penetrating and cold eyes looked at him like a wild wolf, mixed with hatred and bloodthirsty ruthlessness, Fan backed away a few steps in shock.
Looking at it again, Xiao Yu has returned to her usual peaceful appearance, as if the scene just now was an illusion.
Fan Shi rubbed her eyes, she could never be wrong! She underestimated Concubine Xiao!
Fan Shi was taken away by the servant girl, Fan Shi clenched her fists and held back, sooner or later she will definitely come back!
Seeing Fan's unwillingness, Xiao Concubine curled up a light arc at the corner of her mouth, did she take the bait
Old Mrs. Xiao was indeed very angry. Concubine Xiao tried her best to make Mrs. Xiao happy. It was not worthwhile to ruin her body for unworthy popularity.
Mrs. Xiao patted the back of Concubine Xiao's hand, and said with a bit of distress, "My good boy, let your father decide this matter for you later, go out and rest first."
Xiao Concubine was indeed extremely tired, her bones seemed to be falling apart, she simply said a few words and left.
"Old lady, according to this old slave, Miss Nine is a lucky one," Ruan Nanny said.
Mrs. Xiao smiled and said nothing, but there was a sense of relief in her eyes, which turned into disgust, "Go to Nantai Mountain to say hello, Fan's name is not allowed to do evil in the name of the prime minister."
"yes!"
Concubine Xiao in Linglong Pavilion lay directly on the soft couch, Hongxiu and Caiju came over, rubbing shoulders and feet one by one, Concubine Xiao smacked her lips comfortably and satiated.
Hongxiu handed over a plate of fresh fruit, Xiao Concubine reached out and poked a small piece of fresh fruit with a silver skewer and handed it to her mouth, biting lightly, a burst of sweet and sour juice flowed out of her mouth, Xiao Concubine ate five or six in a row Still don't stop.
Seeing this, Hong Xiu hurriedly took the plate away, "Miss, although the fruit is hard to find this season, don't be greedy and eat too much, it should be cold."
Concubine Xiao stared eagerly at the fruit that had been taken away, and glared at the red sleeve tenderly, "Knowing that I love to eat, but you just washed a plate and came to greedy me, I think you did it on purpose!"
Hongxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Anyway, Miss shouldn't eat it."
Caiju burst out laughing, "Miss, the red sleeves are also for your own good, and you should have a stomachache tonight."
Concubine Xiao put her hands on her hips, "Okay, you two girls are getting more and more courageous, and dared to bully me together."
Caiju shook her head again and again, "The servants dare not."
Hong Xiu was not afraid, and while Miss Xiao was not paying attention, she quickly stood far away and said with a smile.
"Miss is the most generous, she will not easily punish people, she is the best master I have ever seen
Concubine Xiao let go, and continued to lie on the couch, her red lips curled up slightly, "You have a sweet mouth, and for the sake of the great achievements you two have made, I reward you with this plate of fruit."
Hongxiu and Caiju looked at each other and smiled, "Thank you, miss."
Since Caiju came to Linglong Pavilion, the smiles on her face have increased more and more. She is the best at observing, and accidentally found a little girl in Linglong Pavilion, Cui Er, who was sneaky and a little guilty, so she was a little careful.
Sure enough, as she expected, Cui'er had a close relationship with Nanny Shen, so she told Concubine Xiao about it.
It happened that Zhao Zun was also there that day. After Zhao Zun left, Xiao Concubine's eyes rolled, Zhengchou couldn't get Xiao Ying out of the Xiangfu, lest the world think that Xiao Ying had something to do with the Xiangfu, and Xiao Ying called the Xiangfu. The reputation of the government will do something.
So Concubine Xiao severely punished Caiju, Caiju cried and complained in private that she was bumped into by Tweety, and the two became acquainted with each other after a while.
Nanny Shen observed for a while and then told Fan that Concubine Xiao didn't intend to pierce it today, but it just happened to happen, and it was considered consummated for Concubine Xiao.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zun actually placed someone beside Xiao Ruo, saving her a humiliation, Xiao Concubine smiled, and made a great contribution to Zhao Zun in her heart!
Pulling out the mother and daughter three at once, Xiao Concubine felt very happy in her heart.
"Let Qingyang come in!" Miss Xiao said to Hongxiu, remembering the business.
Seeing Concubine Xiao's serious face, Hong Xiu immediately nodded and ran to Qing Yang.
"Miss." Qing Yang clasped her hands, she has a beautiful face, and there is a heroic aura between her brows, which makes people feel at ease.
"You don't have to wait by my side during this time, pack up and go to Nantai Mountain, watch Fan, pay close attention to the people who come into contact with her, and write back to me immediately if there is any change."
Concubine Xiao said slowly, she was still a little worried about Fan's.
"Yes!" Qing Yang turned and left after saying that.
Standing on the side, Hongxiu couldn't help but smile crookedly with her small mouth, and Miss Xiao couldn't help asking, "What good thing is this?"
Hongxiu covered her mouth and chuckled," just now I heard the little girl say that when Miss Ying was packing up, she wanted to take away all the clothes and jewelry, but she was stopped by the nanny, she could only take the clothes, and the rest of the jewelry could not be taken with her. The angry girl Ying smashed several pieces of porcelain in the house, and the mother was so angry that she took two maids and kicked girl Ying out."
Caiju also smiled, "Miss Ying is arrogant. She used to be the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion and was sought after by others, but now she is not even a concubine. How can she bear being kicked out of the house?"
Hong Xiu curled her lips, "It's Miss Ying who was uneasy and kind, and made things difficult for Miss. Today, she asked for all of this, so who can blame her?"
"That's true. If Miss Ying had chosen a wealthy family to marry early, with the support of the Prime Minister's family, and she didn't want to be rich, at least she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life."
Cai Ju didn't sympathize with Xiao Ying, but felt sorry. Compared with other concubine daughters, Xiao Ying's end was considered generous.
Xiao Yu half-closed her eyes, rested one hand on her neck, and murmured, "If she was half as content as the two of you, she wouldn't be where she is today. No wonder others."
"Miss said yes." Hongxiu grinned and agreed, seeing Xiao Concubine squinting her eyes and breathing evenly, immediately relaxed her movements, carefully covered Xiao Concubine with a thin fur, and quietly retreated with Caiju.
In the dream, the corners of Xiao Concubine's mouth slightly raised, no matter how much it cost, she must protect the Xiangfu!
Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Ying clenched her fists tightly and trembled with anger. Except for a few pieces of clothes in a package, there was nothing left.
"Miss, where are we going now?" Lvzhi looked at Xiao Ying somewhat at a loss.
Xiao Ying stood on the street for a long time, and after a while, many people pointed at her, she blushed, "Go to the First Prince's Mansion!"
Now that Fan's family can't protect herself, Prime Minister Right has a cold-blooded temperament, and the choice that Prime Minister Right gave her last time, Xiao Ying has already violated Prime Minister Right's bottom line, so Prime Minister Right cannot help Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying was stopped by the guards before she got close to the First Prince's Mansion, "Miss Xiao, His Highness went to Suizhou without the mansion, it will take some time for Xiao Ying to tighten her handkerchief and bite her lip, "
What a coincidence, I was still in Kyoto this morning. "
The guard glanced at Xiao Ying contemptuously, how can a girl be sent to her door for nothing, she is not even as good as a prostitute, she has no shame!
"Your Highness just received the order two hours ago, and now he has left the capital." The guard firmly stopped Xiao Ying, not giving an inch.
Xiao Ying, who was looking at her, was aggrieved and angry for a while, she almost couldn't hold back her curse, she turned her back and left, not daring to look at the guard's contemptuous eyes.
Suizhou is not far from the capital, only a two-day journey on horseback, she does not have money on her body, in case something goes wrong along the way, it is not worth it, it is better to wait for the eldest prince to return in the capital.
"It's really a dog's eyes that look down on people!" Luzhi cursed a few words in a low voice.
Xiao Ying smiled bitterly, "Hu Luo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, this sentence is absolutely true, but it doesn't matter, just wait for His Highness to come back."
Xiao Ying kept comforting herself.
"Third Concubine, Miss Xiao is asking to see you outside the door."
Xiao Ruo raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "She still has the face to come, see you!"
Xiao Ruo is a vengeful person. When she got married, Xiao Ying taunted her and didn't show her face. Now that she is down and out, she only looks for her, and she was implicated by Xiao Ying and completely offended the Right Prime Minister's House. Xiao Ying hated her before it was too late, so how could she take her in!
Xiao Ying stood at the door and talked all the good things to the maid, in order not to be judged, Xiao Ruo let people in.
"Eldest sister, you also know that now that His Highness is not in the mansion, I must be cautious in everything I do, and now my father must have annoyed me, and it's all thanks to you!"
Xiao Ruo's tone was not kind, and she looked down on this arrogant sister from the bottom of her heart. She wanted to be brave without any means, which made herself ashamed.
Xiao Ying clenched her fists tightly, she had to bow her head under the eaves, forced a smile on her face, "I was also misled, and I hurt my fifth sister. I am here to apologize to my fifth sister."
Xiao Ruo squinted at Xiao Ying, with a sarcasm on her face, and asked pretending not to know, "Why did you come to see me?"
"Fifth sister, for the sake of sisters for many years, can you let me stay at the house for a few days?"
Xiao Ying's expression was a bit displeased and she tried her best to hold back. Seeing that Xiao Ruo was about to refuse, Xiao Ying said again, "I will leave immediately when His Highness comes back. His Highness and His Highness have a good relationship, maybe it will be useful in the future." When looking at each other, not to mention that we can't rely on the Xiangfu now, you and I are sisters, and we grew up together no more than others, and we should support each other."
Xiao Ruo swallowed the words that came to his mouth, took a sip of the tea with his hand in his hand, his eyes rolled, and he didn't speak.
Xiao Ying was a little uncertain, she really had no idea, and Xiao Ruo was the last straw for her.
Fortunately, Xiao Ruo pursed her lips, "You're right. After all, it's the sisters who broke the bones and the tendons. Besides, we still have a common enemy that hasn't been resolved. We really shouldn't fight among ourselves. It's just a joke!"
Xiao Ying heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.
Xiao Ruo squinted her eyes and said again, "However, this mansion has been a little busy recently, and I really can't open the courtyard. I have a separate courtyard in my hand. Eldest sister, why don't you go there to recuperate."
Xiao Ying's small face was slightly stiff, but she quickly endured it, "Success!"
Xiao Ruo didn't want to see Xiao Ying's face every day. Even if Xiao Ying entered the eldest prince's mansion, she was only a concubine, and getting involved with her would only make him lose his worth.
"Qinshu, send the eldest lady to the south courtyard, and send two clever little maids to wait on her."
Xiao Ruo raised her eyebrows and squinted at Qinshu, Qinshu nodded, "Yes!"
The location of the other courtyard in the south is good, it was the dowry bought by the Fan family for Xiao Ruo back then, but no one lived there all the year round, so the inside was very empty.
Xiao Ying took a deep breath, "Let's stay here first."
Xiao Ruoqiong only gave some food and scraps of money. Including Lu Zhi, there were three maids in total, and the maids did everything they needed.
This Xiao Ying had a place to stay, Xiao Ruo curled her lips, not taking Xiao Ying seriously.
next day
Qin Shu hurried over with an anxious expression on his face, "It's not good, the princess, the concubine Shu sent someone over."
Xiao Ruo heard that the chopsticks fell on the table with a shake. Ever since the third prince left Beijing, Concubine Shu has only summoned her once. How could she send someone here after so many days
Xiao Ruo settled down, "Please come in."
A nanny in a brown coat came in with a serious face.
Xiao Ruo frowned, and quickly stood up to meet her, "Nurse Yun, what instructions does the concubine mother have?"
Momo Yun said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please ask the concubine to come into the palace immediately."
Xiao Ruo smiled sheepishly, "My concubine is so anxious, but what's the matter?"
Nanny Yun shook her head, but did not reveal a word, Xiao Ruo probably guessed it, maybe it was because of what happened yesterday!
Xiao Ruo bit her lip, Prime Minister Right, as a father, was really eccentric, and he put concubine Xiao first in everything, and brought this matter to the palace, Xiao Ruo was very annoyed and angry.
Hastily changed clothes, and quickly followed Nanny Yun into the palace.
Outside Yuhe Palace, Xiao Ruo knelt on the ground with numbness between her legs, her forehead was covered with a dense layer of delicate sweat, her inner garment was soaked and clinging to her body, she knelt up straight and did not dare to move.
Concubine Shu angrily smashed all the furnishings in the room, crackling, no one dared to step forward to persuade her, her chest heaved up and down in anger.
"Bitch!" Concubine Shu's eyes turned red, "Bring me in!"
"yes."
After a while, the court lady brought Xiao Ruo in, the ground was full of mess, Xiao Ruo's heart skipped a beat, "See mother concubine."
Concubine Shu was sitting on the couch, her icy face was distorted by anger, and the majesty accumulated over the years was fully displayed.
"Kneel down!"
Xiao Ruo gritted her teeth, not daring to move her footsteps, bent her body and knelt down on the debris, and suddenly let out a muffled groan, her little face turning pale.
Seeing this, Concubine Shu's face softened a little, and she said sharply, "Didn't I tell you last time that the third son left the capital, you just need to stay in the mansion in peace, and ignore what I said. no!"
Xiao Ruo shook her head again and again, "Concubine mother, daughter-in-law dare not..."
Concubine Shu was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger, she looked at Xiao Ruo with sharp eyes, "I see you are very courageous, bitch, because you have been deprived of the right to co-govern the Six Palaces and were reprimanded by the emperor. The third child is blind, and he will fall in love with you, an idiot!"
Yesterday, in the name of the right prime minister who hadn’t drafted in the harem for many years, the emperor wanted to choose concubines to fill the harem and reproduce for the royal family. Naturally, no one dared to refute the right prime minister, especially the selection of concubines was not harmful to them. The girl is sent to the palace to fight for her favor.
The Right Prime Minister proposed that all the officials agree, and even the emperor did not refuse, and directly handed over the matter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for arrangement.
Concubine Shu was naturally out of breath, and met a newcomer Chang Zai in the garden, that Chang Zai was delicate and charming, and the emperor was very fond of him.
Concubine Shu was full of anger and had nowhere to vent her anger. She said a few words to that Chang Zai who made things difficult. Who would have thought that Chang would jump into the river afterwards and commit suicide. Although she was rescued later, Concubine Shu was also impeached. In a fit of anger, the emperor dismissed Concubine Shu's power to co-govern the six palaces, and severely scolded her.
Concubine Shu's teeth were itchy with anger, but there was nowhere to refute. The one who impeached Concubine Shu was the man under the right minister, and the right minister made it clear that he wanted to vent his anger on Concubine Xiao's behalf!
If the palace gate hadn't been locked last night, Concubine Shu would have summoned Xiao Ruo into the palace right away, holding her breath all night, and seeing Xiao Ruo tearing her alive now would make her feel heartbroken.
"Mother Concubine, my daughter-in-law knows my mistake, Mother Concubine must not get angry." Xiao Ruo couldn't refute a word, and she knew what happened yesterday, and she couldn't hide it from Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu glanced at Xiao Ruo, "If the Right Prime Minister's Mansion abandons you, what use will I have for you? It is a waste to occupy the position of Concubine for nothing, and it will not help the third child at all."
Xiao Ruo was startled, "Mother Concubine?"
"As expected of being a compatriot of the same mother, with the virtue of being a younger sister, an older sister has no sense of shame, and even wants to enter the eldest prince's mansion to harm the emperor's son, what a dream!"
Concubine Shu squinted at Nanny Yun, "Give me a slap!"
When Nanny Yun stepped forward, Xiao Ruo was subdued by the servant girl before she could struggle, and looked at Nanny Yun in horror.
"Papa!" Yun Momo bowed left and right, Xiao Ruo's fair face was already swollen, Xiao Ruo only felt a buzzing in her head, dizziness, numbness in her cheeks and severe pain.
About twenty times, Concubine Shu gave her a look, and Nanny Yun stopped.
Concubine Shu stood up and glanced at Xiao Ruo condescendingly, "I don't care what you do, if the Prime Minister insists on making things difficult for me, I will never let you off!"
Concubine Shu snorted coldly, turned and left, but Xiao Ruo felt a tingling pain between her legs when she moved her body, and the red blood was soaked on the dress, like a blooming flower, enchanting and dazzling.
Xiao Ruo gasped in pain, and clenched her fists angrily.
Qin Shu helped Xiao Ruo limping away from Yuhe Palace, "Prince Concubine, what should I do now, Xiangye is putting pressure on Concubine Shu, and Empress is going to trouble the Prince and Concubine, Xiangye is too unkind some."
Xiao Ruo sullenly said, "Go to Xiangfu!"
Prime Minister
Madam Xiao looked at the fresh melon and fruit snacks on the table, her smile deepened.
"It's really not easy to eat lychees in this season."
With a pair of slender white and tender fingers, Xiao Yu gently peeled away the pulp and put it on a silver plate, "Yes, lychees are the most difficult to preserve. I know that grandma loves them, so I specially brought them here to share with grandma."
After peeling off about six or seven, the maid wiped Xiao Concubine's palms, and Xiao Concubine approached with the plate smiling.
"Grandma, try it?"
Mrs. Xiao picked up a silver stick and poked one into her mouth. It was sweet and delicious, plump and juicy, "Not bad."
Concubine Xiao felt warm in her heart. Last night Mrs. Xiao talked with Prime Minister You for more than an hour. Concubine Shu is being punished today. Concubine Xiao understands the reason.
After punishing Concubine Shu, it's no wonder that Xiao Ruo and Xiao Ying have good fruit to eat!
Mrs. Xiao ate three in a row, then put down the silver stick, "The lychee is certainly good, but the person who gave the fruit has a heart."
Concubine Xiao blushed, "Grandmother, this was sent by Marquis Zhao, just to please grandma."
Mrs. Xiao is not as rigorous as the outside world, and Mrs. Xiao is turning a blind eye to the proper contact. Mrs. Xiao is aware of Master Zhao's intentions.
Delivering food to Concubine Xiao twice in three days, not only that, but Mrs. Xiao also has a share. The food is not about the high or low, but a heart.
Even the Prime Minister on the right, although he didn't have a good face towards Lord Zhao, the admiration in his eyes couldn't fool Mrs. Xiao.
If she can protect Concubine Xiao wholeheartedly, Mrs. Xiao will be content.
The two were talking happily, and the servant girl stepped forward, "Old lady, the third concubine is kneeling in front of the Prime Minister's residence, begging to see her."
Mrs. Xiao smiled, "Let her go, the Prime Minister has nothing to do with her."
The reason why Xiao Ruo came was that the old lady was like a bright mirror, she didn't want to see Xiao Ruo at all.
"Yes!" The servant girl quickly left to report.
After a while, Grandma Yun from Yuhe Palace begged to see her, with a large number of gifts behind her, saying that it was to shock Concubine Xiao.
"Miss Jiu was wronged. It was because the concubine was ignorant and impulsive. The empress specially asked the old slave to come and see Miss Jiu. This old slave will apologize for the third concubine," Yun said.
Madam Xiao waved her hands at Concubine Xiao, "Let's go back first, and come to grandma's for dinner in the evening."
With Nanny Yun present, Concubine Xiao nodded with a melancholy and sad face, "Yes."
When Grandma Yun saw this, she sighed silently in her eyes and heart. Mrs. Xiao really loved Nine Girls, and she also blamed Xiao Ruo for not knowing what to do to provoke Xiao Concubine, causing Xiao Concubine to suffer such a great grievance.
After dismissing Concubine Xiao, Mrs. Xiao raised her eyelids slightly, "Your Majesty's kindness is appreciated by the Xiangfu. Although she is married to her husband, the third concubine was raised by the Xiangfu anyway. I trouble you to go back and tell the empress. This matter is over. What will happen to the third concubine and Miss Ying in the future has nothing to do with the Xiangfu."
Momo Yun's face froze, "Old madam..."
Mrs. Xiao picked up the teacup and gently swiped the tea leaves. Mammy Yun swallowed the words stuck in her throat. It's not like she doesn't understand the principle of serving tea to see off guests.
"Now that I have seen Nine Girls, Niangniang is still in the palace waiting for the old slave to reply, so I will take my leave first."
Madam Xiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Nanny Ruan, "Send off to Nanny Yun."
Ruan Momo walked up to Momo Yun, "Nurse Yun please."
After going out of the gate, Nanny Yun squinted at Xiao Ruo who was on the verge of falling, "The third concubine should go back, don't be ashamed."
After finishing speaking, Nanny Yun turned around and left.
Xiao Ruo clenched her fists tightly, with an aggrieved expression on her face, she clenched her teeth and stood up, with a monstrous hatred in her eyes.
"Go home!"
Xiao Ruo got some splinters on his knee, and after gritting his teeth to let the maid clean it up, Xiao Ruo was already sweating from the pain.
"Prince and concubine, bear with me." Qin Shu carefully bandaged Xiao Ruo, Xiao Ruo felt sullen, "Eliminate Xiao Ying, and don't live in another courtyard. This bitch has caused me this far!"
With Concubine Shu's attitude, Xiao Ying's wish to enter the First Prince's Mansion is just a daydream!
"Yes, servant girl will do it now." Qin Shu responded and stepped back.
In the palace, Nanny Yun said what Mrs. Xiao meant, and Concubine Shu was so angry that her brain ached.
"Go and move Xiao Ruo out of the imperial concubine's room and make the room empty. This bitch can't occupy the position for nothing. It's worthless, and it will only drag down the third child!"
Concubine Shu made the worst plan, abolished Xiao Ruo, and re-established the third concubine!
Xiao Ruo was woken up in his sleep, and he frowned displeasedly, "Qin Shu, what's going on?"
"It's Concubine Shu who sent someone to move for us to make room for the main courtyard."
Xiao Ruo's heart sank, she pursed her lips tightly, moving out of the main courtyard meant that she asked to go down, and she was no longer a regular wife.
How can Xiao Ruo be reconciled, this is her yard, she is being married into the mansion by a Ming media, no one can drive her away, Xiao Ruo yelled, "Don't move!"
The palace people paused, and Yun Yun said with a cold face, "Keep moving!"
Xiao Ruo looked at Nanny Yun coldly, "This concubine was carried into the mansion in eight palanquins by His Royal Highness, how can I go to other places as the main wife!"
Nanny Yun slowly approached Xiao Ruo's side, and said indifferently, "Although the main wife enters the door, Dongming's law stipulates that breaking the seven rules is enough to give up!"
Xiao Ruo bit her lips tightly and remained silent.
Nanny Yun leaned forward and said in a low voice, "If Auntie has a miscarriage last time, it is no longer possible to carry on the family line for His Highness the Third Highness, and she can't give birth to a legitimate son, wouldn't it mean that the Third Highness will fall into injustice and hide it for three times after the divorce? Facts of disobedience to elders, no matter which one, is enough to abandon Aunt Ruo!"
Xiao Ruo's eyes widened in disbelief, how could Nanny Yun know about this, Xiao Ruo was shocked, "You are talking nonsense!"
Mother Yun smiled deeply, "Are you talking nonsense? Aunt Ruo knows best in her heart. If she hadn't been thinking of the Third Highness, and based on what Aunt Ruo did, she would have sent Aunt Ruo to accompany Aunt Ruo's biological mother Fan. Until today, Aunt Ruo has to take care of herself, don't make embarrassment difficult, and delay the future of His Highness, empress will not be merciful!"
Xiao Ruo was so angry that she couldn't say a word, she was blocked tightly, and stared at Nanny Yun with her red eyes.
