Reborn to be a Stepmother

Chapter 101: If you want to scold, just scold

Views:

Xiao Ting was flattered, this was the first time the Ninth Prince held her hand!

Bah, bah, bah, Xiao Ting, you idiot, what are you thinking

Put your own status so low, you deserve it all the time.

If you think about it this way, we are the most advanced human beings in civilized society, how can these stupid human beings deserve to be compared with her.

Thinking in this way, she naturally followed the Ninth Prince and sat down.

As for the others, they were even more surprised. Including the Empress Dowager, others didn't know about the Ninth Prince, but she knew it very well. Except for that woman, the Ninth Prince had never been so close to others before. It seems that this Xiao Ting should not be underestimated.

But the Empress Dowager didn't say anything in front of the Ninth Prince. After dinner, a group of three came to the main hall. Xiao Ting followed the Ninth Prince and stood behind him without sitting down.

The low-browed and pleasant appearance made the Empress Dowager sneer, when did this girl become so cute, hmph, it seems that Ah Li talked about her.

"Empress Dowager, I heard that you summoned Xiao Ting yesterday. She was not in the palace at the time. I was afraid I might miss your business, so I brought her here to plead guilty."

The Ninth Prince spoke first, but he explained what happened clearly, saying that Xiao Ting didn't escape on purpose, but couldn't come because of something, and today she came here to plead guilty.

Leaving aside whether the empress dowager believes it or not, the rightful lord Xiao Ting standing behind him doesn't believe it either. When did she say that she would come to plead guilty, she was obviously threatened by this man.

OK

She is so pitiful!

I have read a lot of novels in the past, such as time travel and rebirth. Although it has gone through hardships, my life is also full of ups and downs, which is particularly exciting.

But either she possesses unique skills, dominates the world, plays with the emperor and nobles in the applause, or ranks among the nine kings, is the mother of the country, or laughs proudly with the peerless beautiful man.

But what about her? Just after coming back to life, she was thrown to fill the house by an imperial decree, and there is also a short-lived husband who will die at any time.

With great effort, she managed to save him and become a healthy person, but here comes the problem, this man will not repay his kindness.

It turned out to be a heartless one, hey, why is her life so hard.

Just when Xiao Ting felt sorry for herself, the Empress Dowager spoke up.

"I have already heard that your concubine has been kidnapped. What's going on?"

The Ninth Prince's eyes flickered slightly, he didn't look back at Xiao Ting, and replied directly, "No matter, let the empress dowager bother, she just ran out for fun and lost her way."

"Hehe..." The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, obviously she didn't believe this explanation, but she didn't mean to ask the bottom line. After all, it was the Ninth Prince who lived with Xiao Ting, and they didn't care what she was trying to do, let alone this is not the time to talk about these things.

"Since that's the case, then you have to take good care of your princess. Now that you're not alone, how can you just run around?"

Xiao Ting stepped forward to thank En with a very winking look and said: "Thank you Empress Dowager for your guidance, Xiao Ting has made a note of it."

After finishing speaking, he retreated behind the Ninth Prince, with an incomparably well-behaved posture.

The Empress Dowager was quite satisfied, but today the Ninth Prince came together, it was the same as Xiao Ting came alone yesterday, so she spoke directly.

"Where did you get the map you sent to the emperor in Yaochi Palace yesterday?"

She believed the Queen's words, and asked Xiao Ting.

Xiao Ting was slightly taken aback, a little dumbfounded, this is already the fourth person who asked her such a question, why bother with this question? Isn't it the most important thing to get something

She expressed that she could not understand the thoughts of these humans.

Before Xiao Ting could speak, the Ninth Prince answered for her.

"Empress Dowager, I have already explained this matter to my brother."

The implication is that this is not something that a woman like you should ask about.

It has nothing to do with Xiao Ting, the emperor already knows, and there is no need for others to know.

Since the Ninth Prince had already said that, the Empress Dowager naturally couldn't go any further, so she chatted with him and let them go.

The Ninth Prince did not leave the palace directly, but asked Xiao Ting to wait on the side path, while he went to the imperial study to find the emperor.

At this moment, the emperor had just come down from the morning court, and he received all the officials in the imperial study, and when he saw the Ninth Prince coming in, he immediately asked everyone to leave.

The Ninth Prince did not pretend, and said directly: "You should know when the Empress Dowager called Xiao Ting into the palace yesterday, right?"

"I have heard that your little concubine has been taken away by someone. She is fine now." As soon as the Ninth Prince entered the palace, the guards came to report, so the emperor knew that the Ninth Prince would come to look for him, so he asked the ministers to disperse first.

"My brother's concubine, my brother will worry about it, but the emperor needs to pay more attention to the meaning of the queen mother. She accidentally inquired about some news today, is it for herself or for others?"

The emperor also put away his joking smile, thought for a moment, and asked, "The queen mother really asks you this?"

The two were still thinking about the meaning of the Empress Dowager in the Imperial Study Room, while Xiao Ting was standing bored on the path, letting the palace people come and go watch, she felt like a monkey, very boring, so she pulled a court lady and asked, where is Yaochi Palace

I don't know if she is very lucky or is blessed by the gods. Not only has this court lady never seen her, she also doesn't know what happened in Yaochi Palace, and actually led her there.

After Xiao Ting motioned for her to leave, she pushed open the gate of Yaochi Palace and walked in. All she saw along the way was depression, and she didn't meet a single waiter.

It wasn't until entering the main hall that he saw the maid of honor who usually followed Concubine Xiao.

"Ninth Princess, why are you here?"

The maid was very surprised, at this time Yaochi Palace was already a forbidden palace, although the emperor was not allowed to have the foot of the empress, but the empress did not take a step, now no one dares to come in, let alone someone from the Xiao family who is suspected.

Xiao Ting didn't think so much, and said casually: "Naturally, I came here. Could it be possible to fly here? By the way, where will my aunt take me to see her?"

The palace maid wanted to say something more, she finally shook her head and sighed, and led Xiao Ting all the way to the inner hall.

Goodbye Concubine Xiao Gui, Xiao Ting almost didn't recognize her. At this moment, this plain-clothed woman with glossy black hair loosened and tied with only a hairband was actually the once magnificent Concubine Xiao Gui who had been favored by the harem for decades.

"Auntie?" Xiao Ting called out with some uncertainty, for fear that she might have misidentified the person.

Concubine Xiao Gui was sitting in front of the window at the moment, holding the embroidery in her hand, when she heard the voice, she looked up and saw her, she nodded and said, "You are here, sit down."

That breezy appearance, that plain and clear voice are completely different from the incomparably charming and noble appearance in the past.

If she is not really sure that this is her aunt, and she is sure that this place is in Yaochi Palace, Xiao Ting will not dare to recognize her when she meets outside.

Xiao Ting sat down on the soft couch opposite her according to her words, watching Concubine Xiao Gui threading needles there, she felt extremely comfortable.

"Auntie, what are you embroidering?" Xiao Ting moved her buttocks and leaned forward, and stretched out her head to look over.

Concubine Xiao looked at her with a smile in her eyes, and said, "Ting'er come and have a look, can you recognize what it is?"

Xiao Ting looked at it for a long time, and only saw that it was two birds that were about to spread their wings to fly, but she turned upside down and didn't see what it was, so she retracted her neck and sat back.

"Bird." So she answered honestly, making all the maids beside her laugh.

"Why did you enter the palace today? Did the lord bring you here?" Concubine Xiao Gui didn't bother about this matter, and she didn't preach, Xiao Ting felt more and more that she seemed to be a different person.

Some are worrying.

Xiao Ting nodded honestly, "That's right, Ting'er would not dare to enter this palace by herself. I used to have my aunt protecting me, but now this place is like a monster with a big mouth, ready to tear me apart at any time."

"You girl, you are not allowed to talk nonsense, but you have done a good job in one thing. In the future, if you are not accompanied by the prince, you will not enter the palace."

Xiao Ting immediately said: "Then what if Ting'er misses her aunt?"

"Miss me? Don't you know what this place is? This is a cold palace, not everyone can come in."

Concubine Xiao chopped the needle on her bun, like a real peasant woman, very skillful, she continued: "Besides, what else is there to think about, aunt is still young, there will always be a day when we will meet again in the future."

"Now you just want to follow the Ninth Prince, take good care of those two children, and raise them up, you know?"

Although Xiao Ting didn't understand why her aunt cared so much about Chu Yun and Xiao Xin, she still nodded obediently, "Ting'er knows."

The aunt and nephew hadn't spoken a few words before the maid outside came in and told that the Ninth Prince was here, but she didn't come in and was waiting for the Ninth Concubine outside Yaochi Palace.

Xiao Ting didn't want to leave, and wanted to stay here with her aunt for a while longer, but Concubine Xiao directly spoke, telling her to leave quickly, and don't go into the cold palace again if it's okay, it's not good for her.

Xiao Ting knew that her aunt was protecting her, but she also knew that what her aunt said was not sincere. There must be something in her heart, but she didn't want to say it.

With Xiao Ting's small head, she couldn't figure it out, so she was very worried.

As soon as Xiao Ting came out of the Yaochi Palace, she saw the Ninth Prince standing tall, standing among the clear water and red flowers, facing the morning glow. The sun hit him, as if he had been coated with a layer of golden light, which was extraordinarily eye-catching.

She had to sigh that some people are born to attract everyone's attention, such as the Ninth Prince at this moment.

Ninth Prince's title of Immortal is not false. At this moment, he is just standing there quietly, and there is a special temperament all over his body, which makes people feel ashamed.

This is the first time Xiao Ting has this feeling, this feeling that he is high above and she is as low as dust!

It was a feeling that would make people look up to them.

The Ninth Prince felt movement behind him, so he turned around and looked at Xiao Ting.

Xiao Ting thought that he would scold her, or say a few words about her, after all, even her aunt told her not to come again in this Yaochi Palace, but she ran in without hesitation.

"You can scold me if you want to, my concubine will accept it."
