Steward Mu also seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he changed the sentence and said, "Otherwise, the father-in-law will hand over the imperial decree to me, and I will present it to the prince when he wakes up."
Isn't this the same as taking the imperial decree back!
Anyway, the result is that none of the masters of the Ninth Prince's Mansion recognized the imperial decree, so how could he reply.
On this day, the Ninth Prince's Mansion was very peaceful, oh no, it should be said to be quite quiet.
The imperial decree was announced in public, and everyone in the Ninth Prince's Mansion knew about it.
The palace is going to have a new mistress.
It is said that she is Xu Lingyue, the childhood sweetheart of Nine Princes Mansion, the granddaughter of Elder Xu Ge, the former number one beauty in the imperial city, and the eldest concubine of Prince Rui's Mansion.
For a moment, their love and hatred spread throughout the palace like a drama, and spread outward.
I don't know if it's true or not, but in short, it lingered between the lips and teeth of all the dignitaries and nobles in the imperial city.
At this moment, Miss Xiao Liu really went to sleep as she said.
Chu Yun stood by Xiao Xin's bed, turning his head to look at the woman from time to time, with a look of hatred on his face.
Lu Hui walked in quietly and asked her to rest. Chu Yun glared at her angrily, "Your master has been demoted to a side concubine, but she can still sleep."
Lu Hui shook her head lightly, and said, "The princess doesn't care about these things."
"Hmph!" Chu Yun snorted coldly, looked at Xiao Xin, but thought farther than them.
In the future, when that annoying woman enters the palace, what will Xiao Xin do? Can she stay
And this stupid woman, who has no insight at all, and trusts others so easily, really pissed her off.
When Xiao Ting woke up, Xiao Xin just woke up too.
Everyone in Lanyue Courtyard is very happy.
"Little boy, can you wake up, have you slept enough?"
Xiao Ting just drank saliva and rinsed her mouth, when she saw Xiao Xin stretching her arms, she hurried over to help him up.
Xiao Xin was still in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a bunch of people standing in front of him.
"elder sister… "
"Hey, you're so cute, but fortunately you're not stupid."
The people of Lanyue Court were busy celebrating, but they didn't know what kind of disturbance was caused by the outside world.
First of all, the emperor rushed to Ci'an Palace, and the empress happened to be there too, and the emperor went up to greet her, but the emperor ignored her with a livid face.
"Empress, why didn't you send someone to inform me about giving Xiaojiu a marriage?"
The empress dowager's face turned ugly in an instant, and she said, "What? Now that things are going on, you still can't let go of that woman Xiao Lingyue?"
The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, "Mother, what did you say? My son heard that Xiao Jiu fell into a coma again and sent the imperial doctor there. Why do you marry him at this time?"
"Furthermore, Miss Xiao Liu didn't do anything out of the ordinary. There should be a reason for her downgrading."
"Reason?" The Empress Dowager sneered, and threw the teacup in the water onto the table heavily, causing the golden steps on her head to tremble a couple of times, "I see that you have lost your old love for that woman, even with her niece, don't you?"
"When will I need a reason to give you a marriage? Besides, Miss Xiao Liu is not worthy of the Ninth Prince, and she is disrespectful to her husband, and her words are so vulgar. She can't be the mistress of a house. Why should I choose another wife for him?" The empress dowager stood up angrily, shook her sleeves, and stared at the emperor.
"What did I do wrong, and you are called the king of this country, so I blame this palace?"
"I don't dare." The emperor was also angry, he clearly felt that Xiao Jiu was unusual for the sixth girl of the Xiao family, and was planning to find a chance to think about it.
Unexpectedly, the empress dowager would suddenly make such an order at this time.
The most important thing is that the object of her marriage is actually the new widowed concubine of Prince Rui's residence, and she is also the woman that Xiao Jiu missed back then.
This series of coincidences had to make him think about what the Empress Dowager was going to do.
Is it just because of sympathy for that woman
No, there is no sympathy in the harem, otherwise...
"Or does the emperor think that there is something wrong with this matter?"
The empress dowager's tough posture made it impossible for the emperor to find any flaws.
The chief eunuch outside sent word that Prince Rui had entered the palace.
The emperor just drove away, and the empress dowager turned the teacup when she saw him leaving, her eyes flickering, she suddenly reached out and brushed the teacup to the ground, there was a sound of collision, the teacup broke into several petals, and everyone knelt on the ground in fright, a little inexplicably.
"Obviously it's my favorite thing, why does it look so obtrusive now?"
The empress dowager whispered, and after she finished speaking, she turned and entered the inner hall.
The queen also got up to leave, with unclear meaning in her eyes.
In the imperial study room, the emperor's expression had returned to calm. Looking at Prince Rui's half-life hair, he frowned slightly, "Do you know about Princess Rui's matter?"
Besides Prince Rui, Yuchi Xinhan was also there, but he stood on the other side and didn't say anything.
Prince Rui nodded, and said with a bit of grief: "The son of the minister is not blessed, and now he passed away early, but Ling Yue must not be delayed any longer."
"You all know about this matter, so you just keep it from me."
"I don't dare." Prince Rui roughly explained what happened, it was very simple, he was also a victim in this incident, his son passed away suddenly, and he died so tragically, he was besieged to death by a pack of wolves, it was very pitiful.
Not long after, he was seriously injured and died. After the empress dowager came forward, he asked Xu Ge to draw and discuss Xu Lingyue's future.
Finally, after obtaining Xu Lingyue's intention, he reluctantly agreed to the matter.
It's just that the three years of keeping filial piety was rejected by the empress dowager.
"Old Xu Ge really loves his granddaughter." The emperor said this without joy or sorrow, and no one could see his thoughts clearly.
"Speaking of what happened back then, it was your Prince Rui's residence that was ashamed first, and now you are willing to let Xu Lingyue return, but you want to make some compensation to the Ninth Prince?"
Prince Rui was embarrassed, but didn't dare to answer.
"Brother Huang, the ninth brother is not a narrow-minded person. I hope you won't make a mistake in his preferences." The emperor said with a serious heart, and waved his hand to signal him to back down.
Prince Rui has always been very humble, this is also the emperor's right to allow him to return to the capital occasionally, but other vassal kings do not have this honor.
At this moment, Yuchi came out in a cold heart, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want your subordinates to thoroughly investigate this matter?"
"No need, you, just can't learn Xiao Jiu's composure." The emperor shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking, but changed the subject, and said, "Ninth Princess knows about this, what do you think? The Ninth Prince's Mansion should be turned upside down, right?"
Speaking of this, Yuchi replied with a slightly weird expression, "It's far from the emperor's guess. When I came down, I heard her say that I want to go back to sleep."
"Ah? The position of the concubine is no longer guaranteed, and she is going to sleep, haha, it really is different..."
A new scene is also unfolding in the Xu Mansion.
Xu Lingyue has returned to Beijing since the death of Prince Rui, and has been living in the Xu Mansion, which also shows her determination not to have anything to do with Prince Rui's Mansion.
Surprisingly, Xu Ge, who has always valued reputation, agreed.
At this moment, in the back house, there were voices of debate.
"It's been a few years, are you sure if the Ninth Prince still likes you?" The man's cold voice came, with some doubts, but more concern.
Xu Lingyue was combing her hair in front of the mirror, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, brother, Ah Li's feelings for me will never change, as he once said."
"You were still young at that time, not to mention he married another woman, why are you still obsessed with it?"
"Stubborn?" Xu Lingyue turned her head slowly, revealing a beautiful and suffocating face.
Her skin was as white as snow, and a pair of spiritual eyes revealed all kinds of amorous feelings in the blink of an eye. It was no longer the shyness of that Xiaojiabiyu, but with a domineering arrogance, and this kind of arrogance would not be hated by others, as if she was born to be superior.
Atmospheric and elegant, like a fairy walking on the clouds.
It was very different from what I saw in the past, although I could still tell that this face was Xu Lingyue.
"I'm obsessed with my obsession, otherwise I wouldn't hide my appearance, and just smile for him." Her expression was blurred for a moment.
"That's enough, no one cares about how you make a fool of yourself, but don't involve your grandfather, he is getting older, and he cares more about the younger generation, so don't make things difficult for him."
"Brother, I found that you have changed." Xu Lingyue stood up calmly, and the moon-white dress behind her trailed the floor, and the layers of skirts made her feel like she was walking among the clouds.
There was a chuckle in her soft voice, which made people feel very comfortable.
Soft and strong, different from the delicate and pitiful one in the past.
"In the past, you were most protective of your sister, but now you seem to have someone else in your heart."
The number one beauty in the imperial city a few years ago was naturally more than just beautiful.
"What my sister said is the truth."
After Xu Lingyue took off the disguise, she seemed to have become another person, soft but holy, walked around Xu Wei, and said with a coquettish smile, "I heard that my brother and Miss Xiao Liu have jointly investigated the case."
"Don't listen to hearsay, in short, the Ninth Prince's thoughts are probably not on you now, so you can do it yourself!"
Xu Wei didn't say much, then turned and left.
Xu Lingyue tilted her head, watching him go away, looking back, she happened to meet the bronze mirror, looking at the beauty in the mirror, she smiled and said: "Back then I could make him not marry me, but tonight I can make him divorce my wife for me."
In the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Xiao Ting asked Steward Mu to find the imperial physician to see Xiao Xin's body.
After the diagnosis, Xiao Xin was fine, so Xiao Ting was relieved.
After all, she knew nothing about medicine.
"By the way, what is the difference between the main concubine and the side concubine?"
Only then did Xiao Ting remember the marriage bestowed by the Empress Dowager earlier, and felt that she should know a thing or two.
Hong Shao and Lv Huo answered by the side, but they only talked about the different positions, the share of food and clothing, and that the main concubine is a wife and the side concubine is a concubine.
It's almost the same as what Xiao Ting knows.
She thought, if this is the case, then it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
After all, saluting doesn't exist in her eyes, if that woman dares to ask her to salute, she will beat her teeth all over the place.
But Chu Yun next to him sneered, and said, "You all come from rich families anyway, how can you have such shallow knowledge?"
"In the big family nearby, maybe the main room and the concubine's room are different in this way, but in the royal family, the difference of one word is a world of difference."
