Xiao Ruo was so moved that she knelt all afternoon, her legs were numb, and she had to be supported every step she took.
Lian Jiye felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him. He was disappointed with the emperor and concubine Shu. One day he would prove himself.
The two are like abandoned people, clinging to each other and comforting each other.
Concubine Shu couldn't get angry when she heard the words, "I'm so pissed off, I don't know what ecstasy soup the little slut poured on the third child, the third child is so fascinated that I don't even pay attention to it." .”
Concubine Shu was trembling with anger, looked at Lian Jiming, and said with relief, "Ming'er, it's lucky that I still have you in this palace."
"Third brother is confused for a while, mother and concubine don't get angry, after the third brother suffers outside, he will naturally understand the painstaking efforts of mother and concubine."
Lian Jiming persuaded.
"Hey, if your third brother is half as sensible as you, that's fine."
Concubine Shu was very disappointed with Lian Jiye, and Lian Jiming's expression flickered slightly.
"Mother and concubine, my son heard that Prince Chen's son should come back in a few days. The queen mother intends to marry the prince's wife. The last time Xiao Concubine and Princess Jinshu met, the princess was punished. The queen mother didn't care about it, I'm afraid It is intentional to connect the prince and the right minister."
Concubine Shu frowned, feeling angry towards Lian Jiye again.
"Hey, the third brother just missed out on such a great opportunity. It would be fine if Xiao Ruo was favored, but it's not as good as Concubine Xiao. It's really useless!"
Prime Minister Right doesn't care about Xiao Ruo, it's useless to marry, Prime Minister Right loves Concubine Xiao like a baby, just a baby, even Ji Ye doesn't open his eyes.
Lian Jiming pursed his lips, "Concubine Mother, my son is not young anymore, and my third younger brother is already married, if the queen mother points out an unsatisfactory marriage to my son..."
Lian Jiming hesitated to speak, and glanced at Concubine Shu, the meaning was self-evident.
"you mean?"
"My son wants to marry Xiao Concubine as the eldest concubine, and Xu Yizheng is the concubine. Before the son returns, we should settle down as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. If there is no support from the right side, I'm afraid troubles will arise."
Lian Jiming said deeply.
Concubine Shu originally disagreed, and Xiao Concubine's reputation has been ruined and she is not worthy of making Xiao Concubine the main concubine.
"Mother and concubine, only by marrying Concubine Xiao can we repair our relationship with the right minister. A right minister is enough to confront the queen mother. If there is no right minister, we will be in a dangerous situation. The father is restrained everywhere, and he is powerless to fight."
Even Ji Ming's words quickly moved Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu nodded, and Concubine Shu also figured it out, everything is meaningless if she doesn't get the throne.
"Mother and concubine know about this matter, and I will mention it to your father when I turn back. When you gain power in the future, you can marry again."
Lian Jiming smiled, "Thank you, Concubine Mu, for making it happen."
Concubine Shu sighed helplessly.
Peony Garden
Xiao Concubine was angry and impatient, most of the peonies in the yard were damaged and gradually withered, and she cursed Lian Jiye to death in her heart.
"Miss, just now the Lord Xiang sent a message that His Royal Highness Thirteenth will get married at the beginning of next month, and then he will go to Cangzhou." Hongxiu said.
The originally gloomy face immediately cleared up, "It's great, I've finally been punished, and it's best not to come back for the rest of my life."
Xiao Yu finally got a little balance, and her mood improved a lot.
"Miss, the princess is here."
After the words fell, Princess Qingle rushed over in a hurry, before her feet touched the ground, she directly grabbed Xiao Concubine's arm and walked in.
"Go, go, I have something urgent to tell you."
Seeing her serious face, Xiao Concubine didn't ask any more questions, waved her hand to screen the servant girl away, closed the door, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qingle.
Qingle took a big gulp before he was relieved, "Xiao Jiu, you have been missed. I went to pay my respects to my uncle just now, and Concubine Shu happened to be there."
"What does it have to do with Concubine Shu looking for the emperor?"
"She is begging you to be the eldest concubine for my eldest cousin!"
After Qingle finished speaking, Xiao Mi's expression changed immediately, and she bit her lip tightly.
"It's unreasonable! What should it be, the bargaining chip is not worth it, huh!"
Xiao Concubine was anxious, "I'd rather marry a chicken and a dog than him, Lian Jiming, I'm sorry! I don't care about any prince or concubine!"
"Then what should we do now? I sneaked out, and I was worried about sending a letter. I have to go back later."
Qingle was in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to change her clothes.
Miss Xiao suddenly remembered what Zhao Zun said that day, she seemed to have made up her mind, and gritted her teeth to fight it out.
"It's not the eldest prince, but also the son of the prince of the Chen Dynasty. Maybe I want to be a concubine, hmph! Don't worry, I have my own sense of propriety. If I don't nod, no one can do anything to me."
Xiao Yu forced herself to calm down, and said to Qing Le, "You go back first, so as not to be found out and punished."
Qingle nodded, "Well, then I'll go first, you should talk to Prime Minister Right and find a solution."
Aunt Xiao hummed.
Qing Le Tathagata left in a hurry when she came, and Miss Xiao didn't delay, changed her clothes, and went out with red sleeves.
"Miss, where are we going?"
Xiao Concubine pursed her lips tightly, without making a sound, raised the curtain and looked outside.
"Okay, let's stop."
Xiao Concubine got out of the carriage, her brows could be knotted, so she didn't want to be tricked, why should she sacrifice herself to make others happy
Hongxiu looked up, and the two big characters of Zhao Mansion came into view.
"Miss, have we come to the wrong place?"
Xiao Concubine walked all the way, as if entering a land of no one, no one stopped her.
"Master, Miss Xiao is here." Zhao Qidao couldn't help giving Zhao Zun a thumbs up in his heart, and sure enough, within three days, Concubine Xiao came to the door automatically.
"Well, take her around." The corners of Zhao Zun's mouth curled up, and the gentle smile in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
"Yes." The corner of Zhao Qi's mouth twitched, because she wanted Xiao Yu to verify the results before confirming her decision.
Xiao Concubine was guided all the way like this, and almost visited the entire Zhao Mansion.
"Hey, why didn't I see a single woman. I heard that Boss Zhao gave all the Yingying and Yanyan in a yard to the ministers of the court and the central government or their colleagues. It is true."
Hongxiu looked around curiously, Zhao's mansion was really exquisite and luxurious, every detail was exquisite, compared to Youxiang's mansion, it was even worse.
When Miss Xiao heard this, she frowned, "Really? When did it happen, why don't I know?"
"Just a few days ago."
Xiao Concubine seemed to think of something again, Zhao Zun was incompetent, and couldn't afford those beauties who were thin, so he just looked at them and couldn't eat them, so no wonder he sent them away.
Xiao Concubine walked more and more slowly, she seemed to gain confidence in her heart, and she didn't want to be as anxious as before, and became calmer instead.
"Forget it, since we're not here, let's go back first."
Xiao Concubine was also impulsive, if she was rejected, it would be embarrassing, she should find out first, she must have been confused by anger, thinking about it, Xiao Concubine turned around and was about to leave.
