The Empress Dowager Song sat at the top and glanced at Queen Zhao, "This is a family behind closed doors, and the Ai family will not beat around the bush. Now that the war has settled down, the prince's poisoning really scared the Ai family to death. Fortunately, Afterwards, nothing happened, the prince is not too young, it's time to start a family and start a business."
Empress Zhao had expected that Empress Dowager Song would mean this, so she listened quietly without saying a word.
"Chonghua is impatient, and was raised by the Ai family's eyes above the top. I am afraid that Yun Le will be wronged. The people she picks are not in line with her wishes, so she has been dragging her along."
Empress Dowager Song sighed for a long time. Seeing that the topic was about to be discussed, Empress Dowager Song changed the subject and glanced at Empress Zhao.
"The queen seems to have something on her mind today. Could there be some guests waiting?"
Empress Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "The queen mother was joking, what is the concubine's mind, but recently I have been a little bit powerless, there are many things, and I haven't recovered from my fatigue for a while."
Empress Zhao didn't mention anything about Concubine Xiao, she changed the subject with a smile, but Empress Dowager Song smiled, "Queen, Ai's family brought Yun Le here for another purpose, Yun Le said that he accidentally bumped into her when entering the palace. Nanny Yu, and that girl..."
"Aunt, Yun Le was also in a hurry at the time, that's why he ran into Madam Yu, Yun Le knew he was wrong and wanted to apologize to that girl in person." Yun Le looked guilty.
These two people were really not tactful, seeing that Queen Zhao didn't respond, they simply called the name directly, making it inevitable for Queen Zhao to avoid it.
Empress Zhao frowned slightly, "You don't have to feel guilty, Yun Le, both of them are fine, and my aunt has asked a medical lady to treat her."
The Empress Dowager Song said, "Since Yun Le made a mistake, if you stop him, the child Yun Le will feel very sorry, let someone come out, Ai's family also wants to see, so that the queen will not be restless and listen absent-mindedly. Let's talk, and we can focus on nothing else until the matter is resolved."
Empress Zhao bit her lips tightly when she saw that this matter was being said, she was really displeased, but she had no choice but to ask someone to invite Concubine Xiao.
"Going to see the Queen Mother?" Concubine Xiao frowned, didn't she mean to see the Queen, why did another Queen Mother appear
The maid looked puzzled, Xiao Concubine glanced at the sky, and asked, "Where are your highness the crown prince?"
"Your Highness left the city early this morning, and will be able to return at night."
Although the little palace lady didn't understand how Concubine Xiao asked about Song Zhan, she still answered as she said.
Xiao Yu frowned even more when she heard that, she gritted her teeth, "Let's go!"
She didn't offend anyone, so no one should embarrass her, Xiao Yan couldn't help thinking.
When Xiao Concubine stepped into the hall with one foot, everyone in the room was stunned. That stunning face was really rare. At about fourteen or fifteen years old, there was a sense of nobility engraved between her brows, which was really unbearable. Take a second look.
Queen Zhao couldn't help being surprised that it was such a good color.
Princess Yunle was also stunned. In the past, she was very confident in her appearance, but now when she met Xiao Concubine, she was a bit inferior, and surprise flashed in her eyes for an instant.
"Which girl are you, why have I never seen you before?"
Yun Yin stood up directly and walked to Xiao Concubine's side, his eyes were so eager to stick to Xiao Concubine's body that they glowed green.
Xiao Yu felt a little disgusted with Yun Yin's naked eyes, and took a few steps back to distance herself.
The Empress Dowager Song glanced at Empress Zhao meaningfully, "I heard that the empress is busy choosing concubines for the prince Zhang Luo recently, and I don't know which family this is, but she is so beautiful."
Empress Zhao was at a loss for words for a while, before she said, "My mother misunderstood, this girl is not the concubine chosen by my concubine for Zhan'er, my concubine just has nothing to do, so I just called her into the palace for a chat."
The Empress Dowager Song didn't believe it at all, such a woman with outstanding temperament and stunning appearance, why chat for no reason
Unexpectedly, Yunyin jumped up immediately, "Since my aunt didn't prepare it for the crown prince's cousin, grandma, why not give it to Yunyin, Yunyin likes this girl."
Empress Zhao's expression sank when she heard the words, while Empress Dowager Song smiled, "It's rare that you can still think that way. Your mother sent you two siblings back to Shengjing to let the Ai family solve lifelong affairs."
"Mother..." Empress Zhao became anxious, while Empress Dowager Song quickly retorted, "The empress just said clearly in front of everyone that this girl is not reserved for the prince, the empress must have forgotten it!"
"Yeah, aunt, is it possible that you also look down on Yun Yin?" Yun Yin had never seen such a beautiful woman, so he immediately recognized Xiao Concubine. Compared with the women he favored in the past, Xiao Concubine was definitely a stunner in the world.
Xiao Concubine kept silent all the time, with her head half down, she was thinking about something, and she was not in a hurry, instead she thought to herself that it was not only Dong Ming who was not clear-headed, but also Xiyue.
Relying on his own identity, he can point fingers at will. The master in front of him is exactly the same as the son of Prince Chen.
Empress Zhao also couldn't explain clearly, her face flushed, "Mother, don't worry if Yunyin is still young, besides, this girl is already engaged, how can you force it, Yunyin is the son of the eldest son, with a noble status, we Shengjing City There are quite a few famous ladies here, and when my aunt finds time, she will personally choose a satisfactory one for you."
"No, no, Yun Yin just likes this girl!"
Yun Yin insisted on wanting Concubine Xiao, and directly skipped Empress Zhao to see Empress Dowager Song, "Grandma, Yun Yin really likes this girl, so grandma will give her to Yun Yin."
The Empress Dowager Song glanced at Empress Zhao, and seeing Empress Zhao repeatedly obstructing her, she felt that there was something tricky about it.
"Yunyin, don't mess around! Didn't my aunt just say that this girl is already engaged, why is it embarrassing for you, a noble son, to be so irrational!"
At this moment, Princess Yunle put on the profile of the eldest sister, and taught Yun Yin with a calm face, but Yun Yin was not afraid of Princess Yunle at all, and instead begged the Queen Mother Song, with a grievance on his face.
Empress Dowager Song glanced at Yun Le, "It's rare to see Yun Yin like it, why do you stop him, Yun Yin has suffered a lot since childhood, why don't you, a sister, help him?"
Yun Le sighed helplessly, moved her lips, and finally swallowed it back, and smiled apologetically at Xiao Concubine.
Empress Dowager Song glanced at Concubine Xiao, "What's your name?"
Concubine Xiao raised her eyes, "Concubine Xiao."
"The Xiao family?" The Empress Dowager Song was thinking about the Xiao family, and Yun Yin clapped her hands, "Isn't it the Xiao family from the fifth-rank magistrate, and there was an earl who inherited it before, but now it's hard to get mixed up with the fifth-rank gone."
Even though he came from a humble background, Yun Yin didn't care, who told Xiao Concubine to be good-looking.
With such a reminder, the Empress Dowager Song also remembered, "It turns out that she is the daughter of the Xiao family, no wonder she is so beautiful. The Ai family remembered that the Xiao family sent a daughter to the palace before. Although Xiao Guiren looks good, that's all. It's over."
Compared with Xiao Guiren's vulgar body, Xiao Concubine is more than a hundred times stronger. Just standing there, it gives people the feeling of being a lady, and the aura around her is like a prostitute cultivated by a century-old family.
It's a pity for such an identity.
Princess Yunle's shoulders relaxed when she heard this, and she quietly leaned aside and drank tea, without the nervousness just now.
The Empress Dowager Song sighed again and again, "It's not easy for the Xiao family to raise such a watery and transparent daughter. It's rare to give birth to such a happy daughter. If the queen doesn't like it, the Ai family thinks it's a bit of a match."
Just now, she had misjudged her, and thought she was a noble girl, a daughter of a fifth-rank magistrate, who was really not well-known in the circle of Shengjing.
And Yunyin is the son of the eldest princess, no matter what, he should marry a lady from a well-matched family. As for Concubine Xiao, she is only suitable for taking concubines.
"Grandmother, I want her to be the imperial concubine!" Yun Yin liked her more and more, disregarding her status at all, and asked Xiao Concubine to be the imperial concubine by name.
"Nonsense!" The Empress Dowager Song immediately reprimanded Yun Yin, "How can the position of concubine be granted casually? According to Miss Xiao's status, a side concubine is not considered an insult."
Empress Zhao's face was even more embarrassed when she heard that, she glanced at Xiao Concubine from the corner of her eye, and saw that her expression remained calm, as if the person they were talking about was not her.
This kind of demeanor made Empress Zhao look at her with admiration, and her son's vision was indeed correct.
"Empress, Miss Xiao already has a marriage contract. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for us to discuss it like this. Besides, this is all our wishful thinking, and others may not agree with it."
Queen Zhao cleared her throat and couldn't help reminding her again.
"The engagement is not a marriage anymore, just quit it. Auntie, Yun Yin really likes it very much. Yun Yin personally came to Xiao's house to discuss whether it can be agreed."
Speaking of which, Yunyin glanced at Concubine Xiao, and said softly, "Miss Xiao, which family did you get engaged to, and the position of a prince's side concubine didn't let you be wronged, and then we will discuss and cancel the marriage..."
Xiao Concubine really couldn't listen anymore, the cold voice interrupted Yun Yin's words, "My father has already arranged a marriage for Xiao Concubine, Xiao Concubine thank you for your son's kindness, this friendship is forgivable for Xiao Concubine, I am afraid of retiring the engagement rashly. The son's reputation is not good."
Empress Dowager Song sneered, "I'm afraid there are some people who are big-hearted and look down on the position of this side concubine. They are all thinking about the position of the first concubine. They just saw that she is a good one. I didn't expect that she is a girl with a higher heart than the sky. She doesn't know how to praise her." !"
"Empress, Miss Xiao doesn't mean that. The marriage that Miss Xiao has arranged since she was a child is a childhood sweetheart. Why should we force others to make things difficult for us?"
Empress Zhao also explained, the more she felt the more she looked down on Yunyin.
"Could it be that the position of the son and concubine has wronged you? Which family did you marry?"
The Empress Dowager Song was slightly angry, but her eyes were filled with admiration. Few people could face danger without fear and take it calmly when they saw her.
Concubine Xiao hooked her lips, "The Zhao family."
The Empress Dowager Song glanced at Empress Zhao with a sneer, "So it's the Zhao family, no wonder they can't look down on the position of side concubine so confidently, the Ai family is wondering, how can the empress summon a low-level official from the fifth rank?" My daughter came here to chat, she really hid it deep enough."
"My mother misunderstood, this Zhao family is not the concubine's mother's family..."
"Empress Dowager, Mrs. Xiao is here." The little maid stood at the door and said.
Empress Zhao's complexion changed slightly, she already regretted announcing Xiao Concubine to enter the palace, the reason why she endured it was because she didn't want to add trouble to Xiao Concubine, thinking that it would be over after a few words, but she didn't expect that Queen Mother Song would be serious, and it would be impossible to hold Xiao Concubine tightly. Let go, the empress dowager Song's aggressive and unwillingness to give up really made empress Zhao anxious.
Empress Dowager Song glanced at Queen Zhao, raised her chin, "Let her in!"
After a while, nobleman Xiao was dressed gorgeously, with a delicate face and quite a bit of beauty. Since entering the palace, he has been favored no more than one hand in total, but his temperament is sour and mean, which is hard to be liked.
"The concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager, and pays her respects to the Empress Dowager."
As soon as Xiao Guiren entered the door, he kowtowed to the two of them with a big gift. He was overjoyed to be summoned suddenly.
"Xiao Guiren, according to Yiai's family, you are the most sensible in the entire Xiao family. Your younger sister has been trained more and more ignorant."
Empress Dowager Song pointed at Concubine Xiao, but she didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Xiao, she was swaying in front of her eyes like a butterfly, too ostentatious.
Xiao Guiren was stunned, followed his gaze, and said in a daze, "Back to the Queen Mother, the younger sister of the concubine's family is only six years old this year. This girl is not the concubine's younger sister. Is it a mistake? The concubine's family There are no girls of this age in the branches, they are still too young."
The Empress Dowager Song raised her eyebrows, seeing that Mrs. Xiao did not seem to be telling lies, she cast a gloomy look at Xiao Concubine, "Presumptuous! How dare you deceive Ai's family, this is a death penalty, Empress, such a girl dares to recruit Gong, what exactly do you want?"
"Mother, you have misunderstood. This girl's surname is indeed Xiao, but she does not come from the same family as the nobleman Xiao. Miss Xiao's family is not in Shengjing, it's a little far away..."
