Xiao Ting stood up suddenly when she heard the words, "No way!"
Concubine Xiao Gui was indeed a different person from before, but she didn't think about it.
"Why not, Wangfei, think about it, what kind of life the noble concubine lived before, and what kind of life is it now, she will stay in the cold palace for the rest of her life, how could she endure such a life when she is so noble?" The more Hong Shao thought about it, the more she felt that she was right, and she spoke with extra confidence.
"Then what should I do, Auntie is really saying goodbye to me, it's not my illusion."
Xiao Ting also echoed Hong Shao's words.
The green grass next to me brought refreshments, and seeing the master and servant, their minds were racing, and they almost flew into the sky, so they interrupted quickly: "Princess, Hong Shao is talking nonsense without knowing the depth, why do you follow suit?"
Before Xiao Ting said anything, Hong Shao stood up unconvinced and said, "How am I talking nonsense?"
"You, don't read more scriptures in the future." After scolding the red spoon, Lu Hua looked at Xiao Ting, poured new tea for her, and then said: "I feel that the imperial concubine really likes the life she has now."
"How is it possible?" Hong Shao retorted.
Lu Hua glared at her, "Shut up, you'll change everything if you explain anything."
Knowing that Red Spoon is not as intelligent as Green Weed, he is a little discouraged and doesn't speak anymore.
Then Lu Hui looked at Xiao Ting, and said: "Don't tell me, she is in a peaceful state of mind now, and her mood is embroidering, so it can be seen that she is doing well. Besides, the emperor did not prohibit anyone from visiting Yaochi Palace, which means that he has no more love for the imperial concubine. If you make wild guesses like this, it will lead to bad things."
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded for a moment, thinking about it, she seemed to be the same, and then revived with full blood, jumped up, and said, "Oh, you are really amazing, you really have enough brains, and Hong Shao is just a little fool, still misleading my concubine here."
After Xiao Ting finished speaking, she sat back down and began to drink tea quietly.
Hong Shao pouted, and muttered softly, "This servant is an idiot, but Wangfei, you just thought the same as this servant!"
Xiao Ting pretended not to hear it, and talked about other things, "By the way, we need to bring money when we go out in the future. My concubine owes someone a meal, so I want to invite you back."
Xiao Ting was thinking about the meal she owed Xie Jingtian, and immediately told Hong Shao that if she had no money, she would lose face if someone asked her to eat next time.
"Princess, don't worry, when did my maidservant go out with you without money?" Hong Shao immediately expressed his opinion, and muttered in a low voice: "But you always sneak away without your maidservant, what's the use of your maidservant bringing silver?"
Xiao Ting hummed, and was about to change the subject again.
Lu Hua was very good at observing words and expressions, so she asked, "What happened to the princess?"
When this matter was mentioned, Xiao Ting became angry, and threw the teacup heavily on the table, the tea splashed out, and said, "It's all about the annoying Ninth Prince, my concubine wanted to treat someone to dinner today, but I didn't bring any money and asked him for it, but he actually told my concubine that he didn't bring any money either."
"You say it's irritating or not. There's no big man who doesn't bring money when he goes out. I think he doesn't want to spend money for my concubine. He has no conscience. I am so kind to him at a loss."
Xiao Ting scolded for a while, and the two servant girls looked at each other, a little puzzled, how could her princess say this suddenly, so she learned what happened from Xiao Ting's mouth.
Lu Hua asked cautiously, "Princess, don't you know that the prince doesn't need to bring money when he goes out?"
Xiao Ting was stunned for a moment, what does this mean
"He doesn't bring any money, so why don't we go to eat Bawang's meal?" Xiao Ting's eyes widened.
"How is it possible? Wangfei, as a prince, she is walking outside, but someone else came to the palace to settle the bill."
After a while, Xiao Ting straightened out the cause and effect.
Damn it, does this mean that this is also an era of brushing your face
How is it so advanced
"So the prince doesn't bring money when he goes out, because he doesn't need to pay in cash."
The two maids nodded in unison.
Xiao Ting's eyes widened in an instant, and it took her a while to find her voice, "Does this concubine have this kind of treatment?"
She suddenly thought that as the Ninth Princess, she should also have this benefit.
The two servant girls nodded in unison, and you only realized now that being the Ninth Princess is not just about eating and drinking.
"Oh, Hong Shao, you have collected my concubine's money, and we will spend the money from the Ninth Prince's Mansion in the future." Xiao Ting happily ordered, and she only found out about such a good thing now.
"yes."
The little girl happily agreed, since they entered the Ninth Prince's Mansion, although the princess's clothing was paid by the Ninth Prince's Mansion, the rest of the money was paid by herself, the little girl has always been reluctant, and felt that the Ninth Prince's Mansion was ashamed of their master.
Seeing that Hong Shao was taken to the ditch again by her princess, Lu Huo didn't bother to remind the master and servant.
In her heart at the moment, she had the same question as Steward Mu.
Does the prince care about money
What the prince cares about is the princess, can you invite other men to dinner
But looking at the happy appearance of her princess, she felt that it was better to forget it, even if she said it, it was useless.
The leisurely days always passed quickly, and it was three months in a flash.
Xiao Ting returned to the good life of the past, doing nothing, eating and lazy all day, lying on the soft couch.
The beautiful name is: rest and recuperate.
The Ninth Prince didn't care about her, as if they still didn't interfere with each other as they had just met, which made everyone in the Ninth Prince's Mansion apart from the two parties concerned.
Even the two little ones felt that something was wrong, because of no other help, Xiao Ting hadn't stepped out of the Lanyue Courtyard for three months, let alone seeing the Ninth Prince.
And the Ninth Prince also seems to be very busy, leaving early and returning late all day long, often not seeing anyone.
Steward Mu added a few more silver hairs to his head, and a wrinkle on his forehead. The smile on his face remained the same, but every time he looked in the direction of Lanyue Courtyard, he felt a little worried.
The dark guard who was following him said that his small notebook had been useless for a long time, and he was not used to it when it should be comfortable.
Soon the empress dowager's birthday was ushered in, and the whole world celebrated together. The emperor issued a decree to amnesty the world and do it for the empress dowager.
This year's palace has always been uneasy, even the emperor's birthday, the disappearance and assassination of Concubine Xiao, the treasure map was lost and recovered, all these things added together, the whole palace is full of hazy atmosphere.
After more than three months, the Empress Dowager finally ushered in peace and tranquility during her entire life.
The palace had been preparing for this banquet a month in advance, and it was not only the empress dowager's birthday. This time, the empress dowager issued an order that all unmarried women of the right age should prepare carefully.
The person elected this time is the concubine of the third prince.
At the same time, the Empress Dowager made a special order that all members of the royal family who are suitable for marriage can choose the one they want in this general election.
The last time the third prince secretly chose the concubine was spoiled by Xiao Ting. Many people hated it. Finally, this time the empress dowager issued an order, and the girls all geared up for the exam, which was more intense than the men's exam.
Many dignitaries and dignitaries have prepared gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and good etiquette for their daughters very early. These things need to be prepared.
As a result, jewelry stores and clothing stores in the entire imperial capital were already overcrowded.
There are also teaching mothers and teachers, who are simply noon cakes.
The girls from the Xiao family are no exception, but unfortunately they can't compete with others.
Because they are now just civilians.
Not even qualified for the first test.
From the day the Xiao family knew the news, it was gloomy. Xiao Zhan recently left home openly and lived in the other garden he set up for his concubine, not daring to go home.
I was afraid that the old lady and the eldest lady would make trouble for him, but who would have thought that the old lady would come to the door today.
The old lady found Bieyuan and pulled Xiao Zhan out of Wenrouxiang, her face was livid, she beat and scolded Xiao Zhan all the way to the gate of Nine Princes' Mansion with her crutches.
"Mother, mother, stop quickly." Xiao Ting begged for mercy all the way, but the old lady didn't listen to him at all, knowing that her son was rough and fleshy, so he couldn't hurt him at all.
"Don't call me mother. If you don't ask her, don't recognize me as a mother in the future." The old lady took out her trump card.
"Aren't we living a good life now? Why do we have to let a few girls get involved with the royal family? Don't you think that since my sister's accident, our family has no qualifications?" Xiao Zhan felt extremely headache, why can't he live in peace and life
Women, all have long hair but short knowledge, and dare not smoke their farts, otherwise they will be moths.
The old lady was out of breath and said: "Our Xiao family is in decline now, and indeed we don't have the qualifications, but if there is, do we still need to ask her?"
"But Ting'er's current status is not embarrassing. Although she is the Ninth Princess, the Empress Dowager doesn't like her at all. What can she say?"
Xiao Zhan is outside the situation and sees many things thoroughly, so he can live in the present, but the old lady can't do it.
"How did you become a father? You see the Xiao family declining day by day, don't you want to be the head of the family?"
"No wonder the eldest daughter-in-law always said that you don't want to make progress. Now that you lose your official position, you start to enjoy the benefits. You don't even think about it. There is a big family in the house who wants you to support. With your current virtue, what do you use to support it?"
The old lady slashed and beat her, and she said whatever was unpleasant.
Xiao Zhan was really speechless, why did he talk about his good girl and the other girls, but why did it fall on him? Quickly yelled to stop, "Stop, mother, my son knows his mistake."
He couldn't say anything serious to his mother, so he could only smile, "Can I go? Mother, you go back first, I will tell you when I have news."
But the old lady didn't believe him at all, she stared at him, and said: "I'm waiting for you here, you go in quickly, if Liu Yatou doesn't agree to this matter, you come out and call on Lao Shen, even if you give up this old face, I want to find a way out for the descendants of the Xiao family today."
Xiao Zhan had no choice but to bite the bullet and step into the Ninth Prince's Mansion again. Fortunately, the guards of the Ninth Prince's Mansion were always respectful to him and invited him in.
At this moment, Xiao Ting is in the school field behind, because the two little ones are practicing the so-called martial arts.
