When Xiao Concubine returned to Tianzihao's room, Qing Le was already half awake, just in time to be urged by someone from the palace, and after a face-to-face meeting with Xiao Concubine, she went back to the palace.
"Miss, this servant is so dizzy." Although Hong Xiu drank the tea, her little face was flushed and she walked a little wobbly.
"This drinking capacity is not good, go back and practice hard."
Xiao Concubine supported Hongxiu all the way, but she scolded someone half to death in her heart, got into the carriage out of breath, and was so tired that she didn't want to move.
"Let's go back."
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped, Xiao Concubine poured several bowls of hangover tea for Hong Xiu, and Hong Xiu finally regained consciousness.
After getting off the carriage and entering the mansion, there are many Yingying and Yanyan in the yard.
"Ah, isn't this Xiaojiu? Grandma grounded you, why do you still..."
It was Xiao Zhi who was speaking, covering his mouth to gloat, he hesitated to speak half of what he said, and looked at Xiao Concubine from time to time.
The girls in the yard looked at each other, looked at Concubine Xiao, and discussed something in private.
Concubine Xiao was annoyed, but she forgot about this incident, and squinted at Xiao Zhi, "Aren't you also grounded?"
Xiao Zhi's face froze slightly, instead of being annoyed, he smiled, "Today the third prince is betrothed, and he brought a whole hundred dowry gifts, which filled the entire courtyard, which shows that the third prince is sincere to the fifth sister. So many girls are welcome Tianzhuang, my father allowed me to come out for a day, hey, I can’t have someone to entertain me.”
Xiao Zhi deliberately used words to anger Xiao Concubine, but she didn't believe it, whether Xiao Concubine would be angry or not, after waiting for her for a day, it can be regarded as waiting.
Concubine Xiao raised her eyebrows, "I can't help it, who said that the fifth sister is a descendant, and the third sister should not be jealous, this is a matter for the big house, can I, a girl, intervene?"
Concubine Xiao's indifferent words made Xiao Zhi's complexion change, he clenched his veil tightly angrily, wishing he could step forward and slit Xiao Concubine's mouth, and actually dared to laugh at himself as a concubine.
Sure enough, the girl who was still a bit warm at first took a step back indiscriminately, and stood with a concubine, didn't she clearly lower her status
Xiao Zhi was angry and annoyed, "You!"
Concubine Xiao didn't put Xiao Zhi down at all, she rolled her eyes at Xiao Zhi, "What do you do for Fifth Sister to come to Xiangfu, grandmother said, Fifth Sister can't go back to Xiangfu before she gets married, she is next door, you are wrong out of place."
Concubine Xiao didn't have the time to deal with these people, she didn't have a good thing, and she was dressed in a beautiful way, so the purpose of coming to the prime minister's mansion was self-evident.
Today, the third prince is presenting the betrothal gift, followed by Su Fei, and these people have never been seen before.
As if thinking of something, the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth curled up in mockery, and then strode back.
Xiao Zhi blushed, and stopped Xiao Concubine with a look of hating iron but not steel.
"Although you don't respect me as an elder sister, I can't argue with you. I smell like alcohol all over my body. The third prince and the fifth younger sister are in love with each other. Why should you..."
Xiao Zhi didn't believe that Concubine Xiao didn't blow up her hair, she just watched her fiancé being snatched away, and came back after getting drunk.
What do you think in the eyes of others, frivolous and not self-respecting!
Concubine Xiao frowned, "Look at you! I just went to the newly opened Lanjiuxiang and ate a bit of drunk shrimp, and it's worth making a fuss about. When did the third sister follow the example of those gossiping women who speak without restraint and have a good reputation as bad guys? "
"you!"
Xiao Zhi's face turned pale for a while, she had never felt that Xiao Concubine was so eloquent.
Concubine Xiao raised her foot and was about to leave. Before leaving, she looked back at Xiao Zhi, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, my reputation is not good. If you don't mind, just give it a try!"
There was a bit of provocation and contempt in Xiao Yu's tone, especially the coldness in her eyes burst out, which was shocking to see.
Xiao Zhi was slightly stunned, and could only watch Xiao Concubine leave with her maid, stomping her feet angrily.
"It makes no sense!"
The girls looked at each other in blank dismay. They were originally daughters of a small family. They were afraid of causing bad things. They originally wanted to climb high branches, but now that they think about it, it's still early to slip away.
One by one they made excuses and left, running faster than anyone else, Xiao Zhi managed to find these people, and seeing them leave, she was extremely annoyed.
Xiao Ruo begged her for this, and it gave her a lot of benefits. In the entire capital city, there are very few people who can come to add makeup to her, just for the sake of face!
Xiao Ruo went all out. I spent a lot of money to save face for myself.
"Miss Nine, Madam, please go over there."
At the end, Concubine Xiao was still intercepted by Nanny Ruan, and Concubine Xiao twitched her lips, so she obediently followed behind Nanny Ruan.
As soon as he entered the room, the smell of fish overflowed, surprisingly strong, and Xiao Yu sniffed.
"Miss, isn't this the fish we ate at the banquet?"
Hong Xiu gulped down her throat helplessly, Xiao Concubine immediately turned her head and glared at Hong Xiu, who shrank her neck and fell silent.
"Xiao Jiu, this tastes really good."
The old lady was rarely in the mood, drank a few mouthfuls of fish soup, it was extremely delicious.
Xiao Concubine looked at the steaming fish pot with some curiosity. It must have been cold along the way, which is good, as if it had just come out of the pot.
"Grandmother, it's Xiaojiu who is wrong today, she shouldn't have slipped out, please punish me, grandma."
Concubine Xiao lowered her head and quickly recognized her mistake.
The old lady put down her chopsticks, her heart ached, she held Xiao Concubine with one hand, and naturally smelled the faint aroma of wine, she shook her head helplessly.
"The third prince is hired today, and there is a lot of commotion. Grandma also knows that you feel uncomfortable. Hey, sister Ruo is too disappointing."
As the old madam spoke, she felt more and more distressed for Concubine Xiao, and the corners of Concubine Xiao's mouth twitched. She had no idea that she must have been misunderstood by the old madam for her appointment today in the silent night.
Concubine Xiao was about to open her mouth to explain, but she saw the old lady take out a land deed and house deed from her bosom.
"This is a house bought by your grandmother. The owner of the house loves peonies very much, and there is also a hot spring. He reluctantly gave up his love because he had to leave Beijing for important matters. Grandma knows that you like peonies, so this house is given to you. After a few days Let the servant girl tidy up and move in for two days, so as to save some noise in the prime minister's mansion, and move back after sister Ruo gets married."
Xiao Concubine's eyes lit up, and it was inconvenient to go in and out of the Prime Minister's mansion. If she had a house, she would have envied Qing Le, who could have a house of her own without any restrictions.
Now it's all right, Xiao Concubine swallowed her arguments, took over the house deed and land deed, smiling picturesquely.
"Thank you grandma for your love. Xiaojiu will definitely greet grandma every day. I heard that the owner of the house has a weird temper and loves peonies like a madman. There are all kinds of precious peonies planted in the yard. Others are turned away even to take a look. Turn around. Xiao Jiu brought some pots for grandma."
Concubine Xiao's affection was beyond words, and the old lady was happy to see it, so she beat the hammer and drum sparingly, which disturbed Concubine Xiao.
"Evil! People love flowers, so don't waste them. Take good care of them. If grandma wants to see them, just go. You have this kind of filial piety. Grandma knows in her heart that I will send a nanny to follow her later. You are not allowed to buy nanny, otherwise grandma won't let you go." polite."
The old lady said with a stern face, and Miss Xiao nodded immediately.
"yes!"
Concubine Xiao accompanied the old lady to eat some more food. The old lady had a good appetite and tasted a lot. She didn't leave until evening.
Prime Minister Right came back at night, and when he heard about this, his face twitched, "Where is Peony Garden? Let Xiao Jiu live alone?"
The old lady nodded, "Yeah, save her from making troubles in the house, out of sight and out of mind, I have already promised Xiaojiu, don't refute my face!"
The old lady did not forget to warn the right minister, the corner of the right minister's mouth twitched violently, seeing that the old lady was still kept in the dark, Xiao Concubine went out to live, didn't she send her to the wolf's den.
