Early the next morning, Concubine Xiao was sitting in the room eating breakfast, just as she put down her chopsticks, Hongxiu whispered, "Miss, the emperor granted the eldest prince a marriage."
Concubine Xiao was surprised, "Why did you get married suddenly, which girl is it?"
"It's Miss Zhao, the eldest daughter of Jing Zhaoyin, who just issued an imperial decree early this morning, and it was requested by the First Prince himself."
Jing Zhaoyin's eldest daughter is Zhao Chanling!
Concubine Xiao frowned upon hearing this. In her previous life, Zhao Chanling married a son of a scholarly family, not considered a rich man. Concubine Xiao only knew that Zhao Chanling married in a hurry, and gave birth to a child within ten months, claiming that she was born two months prematurely.
Concubine Xiao guessed that Zhao Chanling was pregnant before she got married, and it was very recently. Concubine Xiao and Zhao Chanling were not familiar, but she was somewhat familiar with Zhao Xianer.
The eldest concubine of the previous life was the niece of Concubine Shu's natal family, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, Lin Xu.
In this life, she has become Zhao Chanling, Xiao Concubine really can't figure out what the eldest prince is thinking.
"Xiao Jiu!" A familiar voice interrupted Xiao Concubine's thoughts, and Xiao Concubine knew who it was without looking.
"Prepare a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Qingle waved his hand, "No need, I used breakfast too much, Xiaojiu, big cousin is finally getting married, it scared me to death."
Concubine Xiao propped her chin, with a puzzled look on her face.
Qingle said slowly, "I didn't know who said it at the beginning, but my eldest cousin wanted to marry me as his concubine... Bah, no one is allowed to mention it, anyway, it's just you and me."
Whenever Qing Le thought of the gloomy eyes of the Eldest Prince, she trembled. She was naturally afraid of him, and stayed at home for several months. Only this morning did she heave a sigh of relief.
Concubine Xiao chuckled, "I'm afraid the eldest prince has ambitions. I really don't understand why everyone is sharpening their heads and wanting to enter the eldest prince's mansion. What's so good about it? There are many wives and concubines, and there are many rules."
Qingle nodded, "No, just one concubine Shu is enough to cause headaches. Who can bear the concubine Shu's temper? These days, the Concubine Ruo has been ruled by the concubine Shu all day long. Just fell ill, poor girl Zhao."
Concubine Xiao nodded in agreement. Concubine Shu has to be unforgiving, bitter and mean. She often does one thing to the face and the other to the other, which makes you suffer. You have to be grateful for the thank you. You can’t say no, otherwise it is unfilial!
When she was the third concubine in the previous life, Concubine Xiao was called by Concubine Shu to the Yuhe Palace every day to set up rules. Given Xiao Ruo's opportunity, Ren Xiaoruo took root in the Third Prince's Mansion.
Back then, I was the one who helped the third prince, but I was stupid and afraid of Concubine Shu, so I didn't publicize it.
So Xiao Ruo took the credit for Concubine Xiao and went to Concubine Shu to ask for credit and receive the reward, which made Concubine Shu hate Xiao Concubine more and more, and even loved Xiao Ruo as her own daughter.
It's ridiculous, now that she is gone, Concubine Shu can't wait to strangle Xiao Ruo to death, she blindly wants her daughter-in-law to bring great benefits to her son, acting like it should,
Concubine Xiao shrugged, she didn't want to have any entanglement with them in her life.
"Xiao Jiu, let's go see the future eldest princess too?" Qing Le couldn't help being curious.
Concubine Xiao had this intention, "But I didn't post the post, so I'm afraid it would be bad to go hastily."
Qingle smiled, "What's the matter, I am familiar with Miss Zhao Er, just let the maid go in and let me know."
Concubine Xiao nodded when she heard the words, so she tidied up and went out with Qingle.
Before leaving, a young servant stopped Concubine Xiao, not waiting for the young servant to speak.
Concubine Xiao glanced at Hongxiu, "Go and hand over the house rules on the table to him."
"Yes, servants come as soon as they go."
Hearing that the boy didn't stop him, Qing Le joked, "It's really ignorant, and I was punished again, haha."
Xiao Yu glared at Qingle, "You don't understand, I am willing this time."
Qingle pursed her lips, and the two of them chatted and laughed all the way to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion. Qingle handed over the post, and a servant girl came out to greet her after a while.
Jing Zhaoyin's mansion is indeed majestic, and this is the first time for Xiao Concubine to come. The mansion is very lively, and many ministers from the court and China came to congratulate.
Concubine Xiao and Qing Le were ushered into Zhao Xian'er's house all the way, an exquisite and graceful small courtyard. Zhao Xian'er was the step-daughter, not as noble as Zhao Chanling's original wife.
And Mrs. Zhao is a straightforward and heroic person. It is not difficult to see Mrs. Zhao's straightforward temperament from Zhao Xian'er.
"Little sister Jiu, Qingle." Zhao Xian'er came up to meet them, holding the two of them with both hands, "You guys are here. I'm so bored to be alone, I miss you so much after seeing each other for a few days."
Zhao Xian'er's tone was lively, her eyes were squinted into a crescent shape, showing unabashed intimacy.
Concubine Xiao smiled, and Qingle said directly, "She was detained in the house and copied the house rules. I was ill for a few days and had no free time. Now I come here whenever I have free time."
Concubine Xiao was not annoyed, she glared at Qingle Jiaochen, "You're ruining my reputation again!"
Qingle curled her lips, "I'm not wrong."
Zhao Xian'er covered her mouth and laughed lightly, and the three of them quickly chatted together, laughing and laughing from time to time.
Concubine Xiao suddenly asked, "Sister Zhao, why did the eldest prince suddenly beg the emperor for Miss Zhao?"
Zhao Xian'er mentioned Zhao Chanling's lack of interest, and a look of helplessness flashed across her eyes, "My mother once arranged for the eldest sister to arrange a marriage, but the eldest sister was not satisfied with everything, and she was always picky about her mother's abuse of her. A few days ago, the eldest sister went out to offer incense. After saving Princess Zhaoyang’s daughter Princess Zhaohe, the emperor will reward Eldest Sister after hearing the news, but I’m not too sure about giving her a marriage.”
Concubine Xiao understood, no wonder the First Prince was so concerned.
Princess Zhaoyang is the direct sister of Emperor Dongming. She saved Emperor Dongming by putting herself in danger. After giving birth to Princess Zhaohe, she collapsed and died. The little princess gave orders.
If the little princess is kept in the palace, she will die young and should be sent to a temple, where she will burn incense and worship Buddha every day before she can leave until she is sixteen years old. Emperor Dongming had no choice but to agree.
Emperor Dongming loved the little princess Zhaohe very much, and felt guilty for the eldest princess Zhaoyang. He would visit every year. The little princess Zhaohe should be fifteen years old this year, and there is still the last year.
It was Zhao Chanling's good luck, to save the little Princess Zhaohe, Emperor Dongming would definitely look at Zhao Chanling with admiration, but the eldest prince would definitely pick her.
"It's a pity that I pitied her before, she is such a person, and it's not humiliating to be paired with her big cousin." Qingle curled her lips.
Concubine Xiao suddenly said, "It's too hasty for the eldest prince to do this rashly. I don't know what Miss Zhao means?"
"It's so interesting, I must be very happy." Qing Le said, she has seen a lot of people who are single-minded and want to climb high.
No matter how bad the eldest prince is, he is a prince with a dignified appearance, and there are a few women who are not tempted.
Zhao Xianer frowned, "Elder Sister doesn't seem to be willing."
Qingle was surprised, she pursed her lips and didn't ask the question to the end, since it shouldn't be asked when it comes to personal matters.
The three chatted for a while, and a woman came in, "Second cousin, why is second cousin hiding in the house and not going out when it's so lively up front?"
The woman is petite and exquisite, with big watery eyes, she looks gentle and harmless, but there is a hint of gloating in her eyes.
"Second cousin has guests here, Yan'er is taking the liberty."
He Yan is the daughter of the former Mrs. Zhao's younger sister. She lived in the Zhao Mansion since she was a child, and accompanied Zhao Chanling to relieve boredom.
Zhao Xian'er looked indifferent, "Why is my cousin here?"
"This is the Princess, no wonder she is so good-looking. Yan'er once met the Princess from afar, but she didn't dare to go up to say hello. I am the cousin of the mansion."
He Yan wrapped her arms around Qing's arm, smiled softly and harmlessly, and said to Concubine Xiao, "This is the ninth girl of the Xiangfu, right? You all came to look for the second cousin, and the second cousin actually knows two of you." Sister, can Yan'er have the honor to talk with the two sisters?"
Zhao Xianer frowned, "Cousin, don't be rude!"
Zhao Xian'er was displeased with He Yan's familiarity.
He Yan pretended not to understand, "The two elder sisters are not stingy people, and the second cousin should not be stingy either. Yan'er just treats the two elder sisters well and will not compete with the second cousin."
He Yan looked innocent, blinking her eyes, ignorant and ignorant, as if Zhao Xianer was arrogant and unreasonable.
Qingle withdrew her arm, and said calmly, "Cousin He, I don't need you to serve here. Since you are a guest of the Zhao Mansion, how can you entertain guests? If word spreads, we should be laughed at and bullied an ignorant child."
There was a slight smile in Xiao Concubine's eyes, Qingle's small mouth had always been formidable, and He Yan couldn't even pretend to be stupid with a few words.
Being called a slave by Qingle, He Yan blushed and muttered something.
"Isn't the princess princess looking down on our Zhao family?"
Qingle raised her eyebrows, her ability to tell tales is not small.
Zhao Xian'er couldn't stand it, and was always speechless towards this cousin, "Go back first, Liu Zhu, and send Cousin back."
"Second Cousin." He Yan lowered her head and squeezed the veil tightly, "Does Second Cousin also mind that Eldest Cousin has become the eldest concubine, so she has a bad temper? Eldest Cousin has a big heart, I will explain it later for Second Cousin With a few words, the past grievances and grievances will be written off, okay?"
Zhao Xianer frowned, "It's her good fortune for the elder sister to marry the eldest prince, why am I not happy, since you are staying in Zhao's residence, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, don't be a gossip and gossip! "
He Yan reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, her voice choked up slightly, "Second cousin, don't be angry, it's not that the eldest cousin is dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her aunt, and she won't embarrass her aunt just because she became a princess, we are all a family people."
Zhao Xian'er frowned, not surprised by He Yan's hypocrisy, but in front of Qing Le and Xiao Concubine, Zhao Xian'er was full of anger and her face sank.
Concubine Xiao stretched out her hand to hold Zhao Xian'er, "Cousin He's so strange, she came here to cry and cry on the day of great joy, she is not afraid of meeting the fate of the future princess. I heard that Mrs. Zhao is a strict man of rules. With prestige, if Mrs. Zhao knows about it..."
Concubine Xiao hesitated to speak, crying like this, as if she had been wronged so much, Concubine Xiao felt upset just watching it.
He Yan immediately stopped crying when she heard the words, raised her eyes and quickly squinted at Xiao Concubine, her eyes were red with grievance, "Sister Xiao misunderstood, I... I'm fine, there's sand in my eyes, it's okay."
Zhao Xian'er has been worrying a lot recently, so she echoed, "I'm used to crying and crying to annoy my grandmother, but the eldest sister will marry the eldest prince soon, and the time spent with the eldest sister by the cousin is almost the same. Later, I will mention it to my grandmother. It has delayed my cousin's upbringing, it is time to find a nun to teach my cousin to learn some rules."
He Yan suddenly raised her eyes to look at Zhao Xian'er, with anger bursting out from the depths of her eyes, she would definitely be abused for leaving Zhao's house and returning to He's house.
In He Yan's eyes, Zhao Xian'er's admonishing tone fell into the eyes of He Yan, a bit mocking and unconvinced, "Yan'er wholeheartedly hopes that the first cousin and second cousin can reconcile as before, and it's fine if the second cousin doesn't appreciate it. If you don't like Yan'er Er, it’s all right, why bother to run on Yan’er?”
Zhao Xian'er sneered, "Who told you that there was a conflict between me and Eldest Sister? You not only slandered my reputation but also dared to slander Eldest Sister and the Zhao family's reputation. What is your intention?"
"You!" He Yan choked, Zhao Xian'er refused to budge, her aggressive words didn't mean to give in at all, just a few words gave He Yan a big hat.
"I didn't mean that, Second Cousin, don't slander me." After all, He Yan was young, and he was provoked by his few words.
Zhao Xian'er's face darkened, "Are you going to finish, if you feel wronged, just go to your father or grandmother to make decisions for you!"
Zhao Xian'er grabbed He Yan's arm, "I'll accompany you!"
He Yan was stunned for a moment, and was about to cry, Zhao Xian'er was so resolute and straight-forward, if he made her anxious, He Yan would not be able to stand it.
"Second cousin, uncle and aunt are all entertaining guests in front, so I'm afraid it's not good to interrupt rashly like this. Second cousin misunderstood, Yan'er really didn't mean that."
He Yan looked at Qingle and Xiao Concubine pitifully, "Sister princess, sister Xiao, help me."
Qingle pretended not to hear, and looked down at the patterns on the teacups on the table. Since He Yan walked in the door, her eyes rolled around, she didn't like it!
The crying appearance is very similar to Liu Qingwu, and Qingle doesn't like this kind of people the most.
Xiao Yu was even more ignorant, without raising her head, with a lazy expression.
He Yan was taken out by Zhao Xian'er, seeing that no one came to rescue her, she was anxious and annoyed, her body softened and she babbled and hummed.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The servant girl supported He Yan tightly, "Second Miss, please spare my Miss."
Seeing her trembling eyelashes, Zhao Xian'er snorted coldly, and let go of her hand, "Take her back, if it wasn't for me having guests to entertain her, she would be really cheap!"
"Thank you Second Miss."
He Yan closed her eyes tightly, but her fists were tightly clenched, and she was very annoyed.
Zhao Xian'er clapped her hands, and went back to the yard, "A jumping clown made the two of you laugh."
Concubine Xiao covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Sister Zhao doesn't need to see outsiders, every family has a difficult scripture to recite, and it's not Sister Zhao's fault."
Zhao Xian'er smiled, "It's true."
Before leaving, Concubine Xiao took Zhao Xian'er's arm, "Sister Zhao, don't let a few unimportant people affect our relationship."
The insignificant person naturally refers to Xiao Ying's entering the First Prince's Mansion as a concubine.
Zhao Xian'er understood, "It's only natural."
"There is one more thing. Sister Zhao must pay more attention to it these days. When she goes out, she will bring her maid with her. Forgive me for being redundant. The maid beside me once accidentally bumped into Miss Zhao and the eldest son of Li Yuan's family together."
Xiao Concubine thought about it and said the matter, just in case.
Zhao Xian'er's face darkened, and she held Xiao Concubine's hand tightly, "Thank you, sister Xiao, for reminding me, I will definitely mention this matter to my mother later."
Concubine Xiao finished her order, said a few words to Zhao Xian'er, and left Zhao's mansion.
Zhao Xian'er sent the two of them away to go directly to Mrs. Zhao, who is now more than three months pregnant and is recuperating.
Concubine Xiao and Qing Le came to the mansion temporarily, afraid of disturbing Mrs. Zhao, so they didn't go to visit, and came and left quietly.
Mrs. Zhao rubbed her stomach while frowning and sighing.
"Mother." Zhao Xian'er walked in holding her skirt.
"Xian'er?"
Zhao Xian'er waved her hand and turned away the maidservant. Seeing Zhao Xian'er's serious expression, Mrs. Zhao became curious.
"What happened?"
Zhao Xian'er said directly, "Is it because you have someone you like?"
Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment, "How do you know this?"
Zhao Xian'er looked at Mrs. Zhao in surprise, and Mrs. Zhao sighed, "I found out about this a few days ago. If there is no such thing as a marriage, it is not impossible for the two families to get married. Your eldest sister is now, and your mother will not listen to what you say. ,Why."
Mrs. Zhao is also helpless.
Zhao Xian'er raised her chest in anger, "It's fine if she's clean, otherwise, I, Zhao Xian'er, will be the first to exterminate relatives righteously, so she won't be able to harm our entire family!"
