Linglong Court
With the memory of the two lifetimes, Concubine Xiao learned quickly, and the foster mother couldn't stop nodding in praise, and praised Concubine Xiao a lot in front of the old lady.
The corners of the old lady's mouth could not be closed, she pulled Concubine Xiao, "Xiao Jiu, Mammy doesn't praise easily, please thank Mammy soon."
"Thank you, ma'am." Miss Xiao smiled harmlessly.
Nanny waved her hands again and again, she liked Xiao Concubine from the bottom of her heart, this girl is young, her gestures are all noble, and she will be blessed and kind in the future.
After dismissing Mammy, the old lady had a slight smile on her face.
"Xiao Jiu, there is something grandma wants to discuss with you."
Concubine Xiao guessed something in her heart, probably because of Fan Shi and Xiao Ruo, she pretended not to understand, and nodded at the old lady.
The old lady was a little embarrassed to open her mouth. She always felt ashamed of Concubine Xiao, so she said bravely, "Xiao Jiu, to tell you the truth, the Third Highness has been in trouble for several days without eating or drinking. The concubine Shu feels sorry for her son. I went to ask the emperor..."
Concubine Xiao suddenly said, "The Third Highness has a deep love for the Fifth Sister, let's make it happen, don't embarrass the emperor, Xiao Jiu is fine, anyway, Xiao Jiu will never marry the Third Highness."
Concubine Xiao knew about Ji Ye's infatuation with Xiao Ruo all along, and Xiao Ruo must have taken the opportunity to tell it.
Lian Jiye thinks he is a machismo, on the one hand he is fighting against the right, and on the other hand he is doing it for his own face, Xiao Concubine pouted contemptuously.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Jiu?"
"Grandmother, there is a difference between a monarch and a minister. No matter how powerful my father is, he is still a minister. He must not surpass the monarch. The people have misunderstood his father for so many years. As a daughter, Xiao Jiu should also think about her father."
When Nanny Ruan heard this, her heart softened, not to mention the old lady, she put her arms around Concubine Xiao, screaming each and every one of her sweethearts, no wonder the old lady was partial, she was so obedient and sensible.
"Don't worry, even if they come back, grandma won't allow anyone to bully you."
As the old lady said this, she had already made up her mind that even if Fan came back, she would no longer be the mistress of the Xiangfu.
The old lady was already wary of Fan's family. Back then, she helped Fan's family to take care of Xiao Jiu. Once she got a high position, her mind changed.
In order to comfort Xiao Concubine, the old lady waved her hand and asked Zhenpinzhai to order three complete sets of jewelry for Xiao Concubine.
When the girls in the house heard this, their eyeballs turned red with anger.
There is a special teacher in the mansion, the weather was too cold a while ago, and the original master's family was in a hurry to leave, so he didn't find a suitable one, so he stopped.
No, another private school master, Master Shen, came two days ago.
The old lady ordered that the girls in the mansion take two hours a day to go to class, and at the end of the month, the old lady or the right minister will inspect.
Among them, Xiao Ying had the best grades, followed by the second girl, Xiao Shu, and Xiao Yu was the last one.
Xiao Concubine's homework is very poor, and in her previous life, a few sisters helped her get through. In private, Xiao Concubine often gave gifts, ranging from small jewelry to large celebrity copies.
People in the mansion have always known that Concubine Xiao is generous, so everyone tried their best, and the lion opened his mouth.
In her previous life, Concubine Xiao was ignorant of learning and skills, and was coaxed by several sisters. She didn't understand everything about poetry and poetry, and she was often despised after she got married.
"Eldest sister, I heard that the eldest aunt and the fifth younger sister are coming back, is it true?" Xiao Zhi looked at Xiao Concubine with a strange look, and said deliberately.
"Oh, the Third Highness is really affectionate. It must be the Fifth Sister. I have been begging the Emperor for so many days. Now it's all right. The Fifth Sister finally made it through."
"That's right, Eldest Sister, I heard that the Eldest Prince has come to the mansion frequently these days, and my younger sister looks at the Eldest Prince and at my elder sister in a different way."
The one who spoke was Xiao Qiang, the third concubine ranked sixth, who was thrown into the prime minister's mansion by the third house since he was a child.
Xiao Ying smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, straightened her waist, and angrily said to Xiao Qiang, "Don't talk nonsense! Your Highness is here to find my father, so don't ruin my reputation. I have nothing to do with the First Prince, so I can I was taken out by you!"
Xiao Qiang was not annoyed, and hurriedly admitted his mistake, "Big sister, it's my fault, maybe I misunderstood, but big sister is as beautiful as a flower, and she is the eldest daughter, with a noble status, even if it looks like it is not unusual."
Xiao Qiang's mouth was sweet, as if she had been smeared with honey, coaxing Xiao Ying to smile, and her flushed face swept away her previous unhappiness.
Concubine Xiao sat aside, holding a book in her hand, pretending not to hear.
Xiao Shu reminded in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
Xiao Yu nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you, Second Sister."
Xiao Shu smiled shyly when she heard the words, Xiao Concubine liked Xiao Shu more and more, she was gentle and ladylike, kind and innocent, she was the first girl in the mansion to have no distracting thoughts, and Xiao Concubine was also willing to make friends with Xiao Shu.
"Ninth Sister, why do you look unhappy? Grandmother gave you three sets of red gold jewelry to comfort you today. Don't be so stingy. They are all sisters. What's the big deal?"
Xiao Zhi is a vengeful person, remembering the last time she made a fool of herself, she intentionally provoked Xiao Concubine with words.
"Xiao Jiu, Fifth Sister will definitely apologize to you later, so please forgive her."
Xiao Ying blinked, pretending to be generous, "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
Xiao Ying's half-truth and half-fake threats.
Xiao Zhi sneered, even the sixth girl, Xiao Qiang, secretly covered her mouth and smiled, who didn't know that Xiao Concubine was a veritable idiot!
Concubine Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Sister, I'm hesitating. The fifth sister offended my grandmother and forbade her to marry from the prime minister's mansion. She bought the house next door. Do I want to go over and give a make-up gift? The guests at the banquet that day were so... Too much, it would be bad if everyone misunderstood."
Xiao Ying's complexion changed slightly, she really wanted to pry open what was in Xiao Concubine's mind, which pot was not opened and which pot to carry.
On the surface, the old lady agreed to Xiao Ruo's marriage, but she refused to marry from the Prime Minister's mansion, so she had to go from the next yard, which undoubtedly excluded Xiao Ruo.
The most unlucky one was Xiao Ying, her direct sister had a bad reputation, and even Xiao Ying was affected.
After Xiao Yu finished speaking, Xiao Qiang withdrew his arm without moving his expression, Xiao Zhi also took a step back, with an unnatural smile on his face.
Xiao Ying's chest rose and fell slightly, and she walked back to her seat angrily. Seeing Xiao Concubine make such a fool of herself later, she will be tough!
