Xiao Ting, who works in the harem, doesn't understand, but she also watched a lot of dramas in her previous life, how can she not understand these royal secret histories.
The Xiao family had no background, so the emperor was willing to pamper Concubine Xiao, and even the empress gave her some face.
This is the favor given to her by the emperor, so Xiao Guoshu's idleness may be very good in the eyes of the emperor.
But now, as everyone knows, the third prince's Wentao and Wulu are highly valued by the emperor. Now, the crown prince has not been decided, and no one knows who will get it.
Right now, if the Xiao family insists on taking sides with the third prince, it will have other meanings.
The most important point, Xiao Ting did not say why Concubine Xiao Gui was favored and crowned in the harem, but she has no heirs so far.
Is it her own reason or the queen's intention
Or is it the order of the emperor
"You just talk nonsense here if you know anything." Seeing that everyone was silent, Xiao Ya said such a sentence without thinking.
This time, the old lady raised her head and glared at her, and she shrank behind her back, not daring to speak again.
Concubine Xiao Gui got up, glanced at Xiao Ting approvingly, then sighed, and said: "Flowers don't have a hundred days of redness, and people don't have a good life. This harem needs more honor and favor. The situation is changing, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment?"
"Forget it, mother, you all go back, let Ting'er stay with me for a while."
Concubine Xiao Gui rubbed the center of her brows, and the maid next to her immediately stepped forward, helping her to walk gracefully towards the apse.
The old lady took the lead, and everyone got up to salute, and then they left.
Before leaving, the girls all looked at Xiao Ting with envy and jealousy, while the old lady had a complicated expression.
Xiao Ting accepted their looks one by one, and returned a few arrogant looks.
Walking into Concubine Xiao's apse, Xiao Ting was amazed by the magnificence and nobility exuded from the magnificence. For a person like her who has never seen the world, it is unimaginable that this member of the royal family is so extravagant.
The floor inside the sleeping hall is paved with white jade, I don't know what kind of jade it is, but when you step on it, you feel warm and comfortable.
The pillar supporting the sky is a polished and extremely smooth stone pillar, engraved with the pattern of wings and wings, which is lifelike.
The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are arranged in four directions, and there is a stage, which is really unreasonable.
No, she must remodel her kennel when she goes back.
Xiao Ting circled around and praised a few words, making Concubine Xiao cover her mouth and chuckle.
"Aunt Guifei, you let Tinger stay, but let Tinger tell you fun things outside the palace?"
The imperial concubine waved her hand to make the maids retreat, and then beckoned to Xiao Ting for her to go over.
"You, you are all married now, and you only know how to play." Concubine Xiao nodded her forehead and laughed dumbfoundedly.
Xiao Ting sat down on the low stool in front of the soft couch, then leaned against the imperial concubine's legs, looked up at her, and said with curled lips.
"Isn't that why my aunt wants me to get married? Ting'er didn't want to get married in the first place, so it would be nice to be alone."
Xiao Ting spoke to the imperial concubine in the tone of the original owner, although she was happy in her heart, she showed an innocent expression on her face.
"Don't talk nonsense. Although the Ninth Prince is not a good match, he is more than enough for you."
Xiao Ting curled her lips, obviously in everyone's mind, her marriage to the Ninth Prince was regarded as a high ranking.
But so is the fact.
"Yes, yes, what my aunt said is correct."
Seeing Xiao Ting's indifferent appearance, Concubine Xiao Gui asked.
"How are you getting along with the Ninth Prince?"
"It's good!" Xiao Ting waved her hands indifferently, her face was full of joy.
Seeing this, Concubine Xiao Gui opened her mouth, but said nothing.
She already knew that Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince did not share the same room.
She wondered if she should mention her, but seeing the contented smile on her niece's face, Concubine Xiao felt, that's all, she is still young, let's talk about it in two years.
Also drop by to see if the Ninth Prince's body is as unbearable as in the legend, if he is still like this two years later, then she will figure out a way.
Seeing that Concubine Xiao Gui hesitated to speak, she seemed to have something to say to him, Xiao Ting thought about it.
"Auntie Concubine, Ting'er wants to ask you a question?"
"Ask!" Concubine Xiao Gui felt particularly good every time she saw her blinking her eyes in such a weird way.
Xiao Ting organized her words in her mind, but she still couldn't think of words for a while, and finally she could only ask like a fool: "Why didn't my aunt give Ting'er a cousin?"
Hearing this, Concubine Xiao Gui's face suddenly sank, then she seemed to think of something, her face became a little hideous, and then she slowly calmed down again.
There was mist in the phoenix eyes.
"Auntie, did Ting'er say something wrong?" Xiao Ting asked cautiously.
Concubine Xiao at this moment is no longer the woman who dotes on the harem, she is soft and noble.
She sighed, and in those unusually charming eyes was a deep sadness that couldn't be resolved.
"God destined, aunt is destined to have no children!"
So tangled, sad, painful, strong, hateful, loving, all emotions change in an instant.
In the end, Xiao Ting could only say this.
She didn't understand, "Ting'er doesn't understand what you mean? Can you talk to Ting'er?"
Xiao Ting could see that Concubine Xiao really cared about her.
So she wanted to know more about the imperial concubine.
