Xiao Wu was completely stunned, stomped her face in embarrassment and left, looking grim.
Concubine Xiao said, "Hey, how come Master Zhao doesn't know how to be sympathetic to women, such a beautiful beauty who takes the initiative to go to her, and she always excuses you regardless of previous suspicions, are you really not interested?"
Xiao Yu looked at Zhao Zun seriously, and grinned, feeling a lot happier all of a sudden.
Zhao Zun glanced at someone who was proud of himself, clamped Xiao Yu's chin with one hand, squinted his eyes and approached Xiao Yu, "What I said just now is heartfelt, and there is no false intention, don't you believe it?"
Concubine Xiao was ashamed, in front of so many people in public, Zhao Zun actually kissed her like this, Concubine Xiao blushed and struggled.
"Let go of me quickly, many people are watching." Xiao Concubine said straight away that she would be ashamed to see anyone in the future, and pinched Zhao Zun's waist fiercely, and heard someone gasp in satisfaction.
"Hiss! Be cruel." Seeing that she was about to get annoyed, Zhao Zun let go of her hand, and joked, "Didn't you just say that you don't care about your reputation? Isn't it as you wish?"
Concubine Xiao's face softened a little, and she glared at Zhao Zun Jiaochen, this guy must have deliberately pissed her off, he's being good-looking when he gets the cheap!
"Nonsense, who said that I don't care about my reputation anymore, I don't want to be stabbed in the back, I am the dignified daughter of the Xiao family, in broad daylight, the world is bright, how can you do such a thing."
Concubine Xiao's voice became softer the further she went, "Isn't this a disgrace to the Xiao family, it made people despise the daughters of the Xiao family."
Zhao Zun raised his eyebrows, faintly feeling that something was wrong, looked at Miss Xiao's sly eyes, and reprimanded angrily, "You mean, after you marry me and become Mrs. Zhao, you can be fearless?"
Concubine Xiao shrugged her shoulders, she was a little guilty and dared not look into Zhao Zun's eyes, but said, "I didn't say that, you thought it yourself, anyway, you have already promised me, I will write it down, gentleman If you keep your word, you can't let it go."
Xiao Concubine looked at Zhao Zun with a grin, and stuck out her tongue mischievously. Zhao Zun was angry and helpless, and grabbed Xiao Concubine's wrist, "Xiao Jiu, if you want to be fearless, you have to hurry up and marry me. It wouldn't be so easy otherwise."
Concubine Xiao curled her lips in disapproval, lowered her head and murmured, "You're talking about this again, what's the rush, don't you all have to enter the mansion sooner or later."
"Xiao Jiu, let's take today as an example. If your father-in-law knows a hundred family rules, it will be a must. If you marry into the Zhao family, it will be different. I will definitely not punish you for copying the house rules."
Zhao Zun coaxed him patiently, talking about what was going on, as if he was treating Concubine Xiao like a child.
Concubine Xiao's eyes lit up, and Zhao Zun said again, "Look, you live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you can't go out if you don't have anyone in the mansion. It's different if you marry into the Zhao family. I can take you out at night to enjoy Visit the lake to watch the lantern festival on a moon tour.”
"Okay, stop talking!" Xiao Concubine hurriedly stopped Zhao Zun, and the more she spoke, the more her heart became more and more excited. It was like pinching Xiao Concubine's weakness, and she wished she could marry Zhao Zun immediately.
"But father doesn't let go, it's useless for me to agree alone." Xiao Yan looked at Zhao Zun with bright eyes, obviously very moved.
The corners of Zhao Zun's mouth curled up, and he whispered a few words into Xiao Concubine's ear. Xiao Concubine looked at Zhao Zun suspiciously and hesitated, "Is this really the case?"
"If your father-in-law punishes you for copying the house rules, I will still be there."
Having said that, Xiao Concubine no longer feared, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Sure, that's it, if father loses his temper, it's up to you!"
Zhao Zun nodded, "Success!"
After a while, a little maid came to call Xiao Concubine, and before leaving, Xiao Concubine grabbed Zhao Zun and told her, "You have to be careful, Prince An is going to Beijing in three days, you have to hold on, Don’t be taken advantage of by others.”
Zhao Zun smiled, "Understood, go, don't keep grandma waiting."
The proficiency and naturalness of this grandmother's cry made Xiao Concubine's ears turn red. For some reason, after staying with Zhao Zun for a long time, her skin became thicker.
Concubine Xiao followed her maid to find Mrs. Xiao. Before the banquet started, many people had already arrived in the Imperial Garden. It can be seen that even the Empress Dowager spent a lot of thought on organizing the birthday banquet for King Chen today.
Concubine Xiao looked around, and sat obediently beside Mrs. Xiao. Mrs. Xiao asked a few questions about the matter just now. Concubine Xiao bowed her head and said everything, even Zhao Zun's words were told exactly. Madam Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, "You really said that?"
"Yeah, Xiao Jiu still thinks that Marquis Zhao doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade. Now that Marquis Zhao is getting promoted, there will naturally be more people who are concerned about it. I heard that the queen mother and the emperor intend to block people for Marquis Zhao. Once or twice, after a long time, I'm not sure if my heart will soften."
Concubine Xiao curled her lips, "Grandmother, Fifth Sister is also a prostitute after all, she doesn't care about her status at all, she would rather be a concubine than marry Lord Zhao, hmph, but Lord Zhao has a peachy face, it's too eyesore Already!"
Mrs. Xiao patted the back of Xiao Concubine's hand when she heard the words, "Don't worry about what other people think, Lord Zhao Hou is a good person, I believe grandma's vision is not bad, besides, grandma's Xiao Jiusheng has such a beautiful face, looking at the whole capital city, who would Can he beat Xiao Jiu again?"
Concubine Xiao blushed when she was praised, and took Mrs. Xiao's arm, "In the eyes of grandma, Xiao Jiu is the best in the world."
Mrs. Xiao nodded her head as it should, "It's natural, it's not that grandma is partial, Xiao Jiu is the best."
"Grandmother, Xiaojiu heard that the late emperor once took in a nobleman who was stunningly beautiful. At first, the late emperor treated her very well. He even insisted on promoting this person as the fourth concubine regardless of everyone's objections. However, this nobleman is cold-tempered and unkind. talkative,
Wearing down the late emperor's patience little by little, he was finally abandoned by the late emperor to die alone in the cold palace. "
"Sister Wu said that Xiaojiu is still young, so Master Zhao may not be able to wait for Xiaojiu for two years, Xiaojiu doesn't believe this, if one day Master Zhao despises Xiaojiu, at worst Xiaojiu packs his luggage and returns to the Prime Minister's residence , never going back."
After the words fell, Mrs. Xiao's face sank, "Did Xiao Wu say it all?"
Concubine Xiao nodded, and Mrs. Xiao snorted twice when she saw this, "Sure enough, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Princess Chaoren is a muddleheaded person. Her life has been so smooth that she has no thoughts to teach Xiao Wu. Her mother has learned a lot, and she only has her own selfish desires in her eyes, and nothing has ruined the Xiao family's reputation!"
Mrs. Xiao sighed, but she listened to what she said, and took Concubine Xiao's hand, "Xiao Jiu, you are the noble daughter of the Prime Minister's family, you must be proud and not be trampled on easily. Grandma believes that Zhao Lord Hou and the first emperor are not the same kind of people."
After finishing the words, Mrs. Xiao thought for a while and added, "However, there must be a limit to this arrogance. Don't learn from that nobleman. You will let down the good intentions of the late Emperor in vain."
"Yes, Xiao Jiu understands." Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes and smiled.
On the other side, Rong Yue suddenly said, "Mother, the courtyard next door is very well repaired. I heard that there are two hot springs where herbs are soaked every day. I must have put a lot of thought into Lord Zhao Hou. The two families are so close to each other. , You don’t have to go through the gate, just dig out a small gate from the yard, and it’s only a stick of incense every time you come and go, Master Zhao really has a heart.”
Mrs. Xiao was taken aback when she heard the words, "The yard next door belongs to Lord Zhao?"
"Yeah, I heard from my husband that I spent a lot of money to buy it, and then repaired it all. I hired craftsmen to plant a large garden and carefully cultivated a lot of peonies. I even gave my husband two pots of Wei Zi a few days ago. It's really beautiful."
Rong Yue spared no effort to praise Zhao Houye, she put her little hand on her abdomen, she didn't believe that she couldn't conceive, and she didn't know what the right minister thought, how many times she persuaded them, she was not in a hurry to get them married, Rong Yue was beside her I looked anxious.
Mrs. Xiao just remembered, "No wonder, I have four more pots of Clivia and four more pots of peonies in my house. It is really not easy to grow these two flowers at this time."
Rong Yue echoed a few words, and Mrs. Xiao looked at Concubine Xiao meaningfully, faintly making up her mind.
At this time, Su'e came over and said to Mrs. Xiao, "Mrs. Xiao, the Queen Mother invites you to come over."
Mrs. Xiao seemed to have expected such a moment long ago, she stood up calmly, "Alright, I should pay the Queen Mother a visit when I come to the palace."
Concubine Xiao stood up and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Mrs. Xiao, and followed Su'e to the Empress Dowager's place alone.
After a while, another little maid came over, "Mrs. Xiao, Yugui Concubine, please go over to catch up on the old days."
Rong Yue raised her eyebrows, "Concubine Yugui?"
It took a while to calm down, Yu Guifei was the barbarian Princess Mingyu back then, because she was pregnant with the emperor's heir, she was made a noble concubine, and one day she would give birth to a prince, and it would be easy to become the fourth concubine, and her future was limitless.
It's just that Rong Yue doesn't know Princess Mingyu at all, so why talk about the past.
Concubine Xiao murmured a few words in Rong Yue's ear, and Rong Yue immediately understood that Concubine Yugui was here to find fault. Back then, Concubine Yugui wanted to marry Prime Minister Right, but was rejected by Prime Minister Right, so Just entered the harem.
That's all in the past, but now that Rong Yue took the initiative to deliver it to her door, how could Concubine Yugui miss this opportunity.
Rong Yue stood up slowly, took Qing Yang by her side, and followed the little maid.
"Immediately go and inform my father, hurry up and come back!" Xiao Mi's hands were sweating, she didn't expect to be divided into three groups to leave, and the visitors were definitely not good.
Before Qingyu had time to leave, a young maid came towards Concubine Xiao and said in a low voice, "Miss Nine, Lord Hou said that you don't need to panic, the emperor has already gone to the queen mother, the old lady will be fine, and you can wait There is no need to worry about Mrs. Xiao, Elder Xiao has already gone to Concubine Yugui."
Concubine Xiao glanced at the little maid, raised her brows slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, if you have nothing to do, you can go down first."
Concubine Xiao glanced at Qing Yu, Qing Yu nodded understandingly, Zhao Zun would not have known about this little maid's problem in such a short period of time, if she really knew, Zhao Zun would have mentioned it when the two met just now.
Besides, if it was really someone close to Zhao Zun, he would not have mentioned Mr. Xiao, he must be Mr. Xiang, so Mrs. Xiao concluded that there must be fraud in this.
Concubine Xiao didn't change her face, pretending to be relaxed, the little maid said again, "Master Hou said, the old lady and the wife are gone, and Mrs. Xiao is not around, so I really don't feel relieved to leave Miss Nine alone, so please Miss Nine Go to Lord Hou."
Concubine Xiao frowned, "What's this called? I'm a lady who hasn't left the cabinet yet, and I'm following a man in public. What does it look like!"
As he said that, Xiao Concubine glanced at the little palace maid with a slightly questioning gaze, stood up abruptly, and accidentally spilled the wine on the table on her clothes, and her face became even more annoyed.
"What's the matter with you, I think you probably did it on purpose!" Xiao Concubine's arrogant temper came up, and the little maid was also startled, "Ninth Miss, you are not... a slave."
Xiao Yu glared at the little maid, "It wasn't you, could it be that I poured the wine on myself!"
Xiao Concubine's voice was very loud, and soon attracted many people to watch, Qing Yu took the opportunity to get out of the sight of the little maid.
"Everyone, come over here to comment. A little palace lady who came out of nowhere insisted on taking me somewhere. I disagreed, so she spilled wine on me and forced me to leave here to change clothes. Too strange."
Although the Prime Minister on the right has lost his official position, his power is still there, so many people would not go against Concubine Xiao because of a little maid.
"I won't leave here if you don't make it clear. It's just inexplicable. Just tell me who sent you here!"
Concubine Xiao put her hands on her hips, "Grandmother was called away by the Queen Mother, and my mother was also called away by Concubine Yugui to reminisce about the old days. Who doesn't know if my mother and Concubine Yugui have anything to do with each other? There are so many wives present, but they only call me mother. Now it's my turn again, who sent you?"
The little palace maid was dumbfounded, she didn't expect Concubine Xiao to come out like this, she kept winking at Concubine Xiao, "Miss Nine... this slave is kind enough to remind you, this drink was not spilled by the slave, you accidentally touched it. "
