Emperor Jing thought for a moment and said with a smile, "You should discuss the matter with the wise concubine about Prince Qi. As for the third child, the daughter of the Xie family was also a kind and righteous woman, and she risked her life to change it." Ask the third child what he wants about his life. If he doesn't want to take a concubine, then let him go."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Ye was overjoyed and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
When she said this, why didn't Emperor Jing understand that he was being plotted? Immediately, he glared at Concubine Ye angrily and funny, and said, "You are really cautious. If you don't want to take a concubine for the third child, just say so, and you want to set a trap to make me say this for you. Really! "
Concubine Ye was very happy after receiving this decree. With a rare hint of flattery, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty is famous, I can't hide anything from you."
In fact, Concubine Ye also knew in her heart that with Emperor Jing's behavior, Xiao Junxi's throne was probably certain. Throughout the ages, no emperor has favored only one person, so Xiao Junxi will definitely have a harem of three thousand concubines.
But Xie Ruzhuo was so kind to him, and Concubine Ye was unwilling to wrong her. So if you can buy some more time for the young couple now, let's give them more freedom.
At least they are still in love now.
Seeing her like this, Emperor Jing was embarrassed to care about it, and just smiled and sighed, "That's all, I wanted to come to your place to relax for a while, but I didn't expect that I accidentally fell into your trap again. Xiaolinzi, get up and take control. Study room."
Concubine Ye knew that Emperor Jing was not really angry with her, but just had business to attend to, so she immediately bowed and said, "I send you off to the Emperor respectfully."
After seeing Emperor Jing off, Concubine Ye had just returned to the inner palace when she saw Xiao Xunning walking in from outside the palace and said with a smile, "Greetings to my mother, concubine."
Seeing Xiao Xinning come in, Concubine Ye was so busy that she waved her over and touched her hand. When she saw that it was really cold, she immediately said angrily, "Why is it so cold? Did you sneak away to the Royal Garden again?"
Hearing this, Xiao Xinning stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said with a smile, "I was discovered by my concubine." After saying that, she changed the subject and asked, "When I came in, I saw my concubine with a smile on her face, but when I met What's the matter?"
Concubine Ye knew that she changed the subject because she was afraid of scolding her, but this matter really required Xiao Xinning to report the matter, so Concubine Ye did not hide it and immediately talked about the draft.
When he learned that Emperor Jing actually allowed Xiao Junxi not to take concubines, Xiao Xinning's face instantly lit up with a smile and she said, "This is really good news. I'm going to talk to the emperor's wife."
Concubine Ye nodded her forehead and said with a smile, "How can you be so flustered? Even if you want to say it, you have to wait until tomorrow. You are like a skinny monkey all the time. It is rare for your mother to come to the concubine." Here, are you in such a hurry to leave?"
After hearing this, Xiao Xinning was so busy that she coaxed Concubine Ye with a smile and said, "My daughter is planning to go tomorrow. I like my mother and concubine's place the most. How can I be willing to leave."
Seeing her like this, Concubine Ye glared at her angrily and said, "You are so eloquent."
As he said that, he laughed first.
Some are happy and some are sad.
After Xiao Junhan left, Shen Jingci went to take a bath, put on some particularly attractive clothes, and waited in the room for Xiao Junhan to come.
Based on past situations, Shen Jingci expected that Xiao Junhan would turn around within a matter of seconds of burning a stick of incense.
However, Shen Jingci did not expect that Xiao Junhan did not go back as he said. It was not until noon that news came from the main courtyard, but it brought something that made Shen Jingci Qingtian Thunderbolt news.
Qin Wanyi is pregnant.
After hearing the news, Shen Jingci immediately sat up from the soft couch and gritted her teeth and said, "Say it again!"
Shi Mo lowered his head and said cautiously, "Back to the concubine, the princess is pregnant. It's been more than a month now!"
These words made Shen Jingci's face darken even more. She didn't speak for a long time, and the room was filled with low pressure.
After a long while, Shen Jingci waved her hand and said, "You go down first."
Shi Mo didn't dare to delay any longer, so he bowed and said, "My slave, please leave."
Before going out, Shi Mo was particularly careful to close her door and cut off the air-conditioning outside.
On the second day, Xiao Xinning couldn't wait to go to Prince Jing's Mansion and shared the good news he learned yesterday with Xie Ruzhuo.
However, she did not see the expected ecstasy. Seeing the calm look on Xie Ruzhuo's face, Xiao Xinning said with some confusion, "Hey, Sister-in-law, aren't you happy?"
After hearing this news, shouldn't the emperor's wife jump up with joy
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo laughed out loud and said with a smile, "Happy, of course I am happy." How could she not be happy to receive Emperor Jing's words? After all, this comes from the approval of the elders.
But it's good to be happy. After Xiao Junxi told her what happened in the court yesterday, Xie Ruzhuo knew that Emperor Jing was probably planning to make Xiao Junxi the crown prince. Therefore, this situation can only be maintained for a short period of time.
After Xiao Junxi takes over the East Palace, she cannot be the only mistress of the East Palace.
So Concubine Ye was giving her a reassurance, giving her temporary peace of mind.
Xiao Xinning didn't know what she was thinking, so she curled her lips and said, "Hey, you said that, but I feel like you have something on your mind."
Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly. Jiang Zhu happened to bring the cakes and put them on the table. Xiao Xinning's attention immediately shifted to eating.
Seeing her as carefree as a child, Xie Ruzhuo felt a little envious. A girl born into the royal family could still be so innocent, which shows how much Emperor Jing loved this daughter.
After Xiao Xinning stayed at Xie Ruzhuo's place for a while, he hesitated and said he wanted to go out.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't react before, but when he saw her blushing face, he immediately understood. She said why is this girl so kind-hearted to come out and spread the news? She has her own Xiao Jiujiu.
However, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't stop him. He just smiled and said, "You can go, but there is one condition. The secret guards of Prince Jing's Mansion cannot follow you for more than two hours."
After Xiao Xinning got the permission, he didn't mind her conditions, so he happily agreed and went to Li's Mansion happily.
After Xiao Xinning left, Xie Ruzhuo went to the small kitchen to prepare some food for Xiao Junxi.
During these days, she had nothing to do at home, so she learned a few exquisite side dishes from the nuns in the kitchen, and they turned out pretty decent.
Xiao Junxi met him by chance and was very happy to eat. Seeing that he liked it, Xie Ruzhuo became more and more interested in doing it.
She worked in the dining room all afternoon, and when Xiao Xinning came back, it was already dusk.
Although it was a winter day, there was already a bit of sweat on the tip of her nose. Xie Ruzhuo saw this, took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and then asked with a smile, "Where have you been, and why are you still sweating?"
Xiao Xinning looked around and saw no one around, then whispered, "We are going to make ice lanterns. They are so colorful."
As soon as she said "we", Xie Ruzhuo smiled meaningfully at her and said, "It's true that women are not allowed to stay in college."
When Xiao Xinning saw her point out, he was not shy. He just smiled and said, "The emperor's sister-in-law must keep it a secret for me."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but sigh, "You sent a message, but you made me your accomplice."
As she said that, she smiled again in Xiao Xinning's nervous eyes and said, "That's all, it's not the first time. But you have to remember the rules and don't do anything that exceeds the rules. Otherwise, don't say it's me, it's just me." Your imperial brother can’t protect him either.”
Xie Ruzhuo said the next words solemnly, and Xiao Xinning also realized the seriousness of the matter. He immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sister-in-law, I have my own sense of discretion and will not do anything that disgrace the royal family."
After Xiao Xinning made her promise, she asked cautiously, "It's just the emperor's sister-in-law. I can't be so secretive all the time. What do you think we should do in the future?"
She looks like a young girl in love with her child. Xie Ruzhuo secretly sighed that this girl might have fallen into trouble, then he straightened his face and taught her, "Your woman, you shouldn't think about these things. If he is a real man, he will naturally do what is best for you. The choice comes. If he doesn’t do it, then you’ve misjudged him.”
Hearing this, Xiao Xinning's originally happy face fell down again, and she asked uneasily, "What should he do?"
Xie Ruzhuo nodded her forehead in a funny way and said, "This is nothing for you to worry about. Okay, it's getting late. Let's go back to the palace quickly, so as not to make my mother miss you again."
Xie Ruzhuo issued an eviction order, so naturally Xiao Xining couldn't stay any longer, so he had to go back to the palace in frustration.
In the blink of an eye, it was November 17th, and the next day was Jiang Qinglan’s wedding day. As her close friend, Xie Ruzhuo naturally had to go to add makeup.
But she was already a married woman, so she put on makeup during the day, spent the afternoon chatting with Jiang Qinglan, and returned to Prince Jing's Mansion at dusk.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got off the carriage, he heard the ladies guarding in front of Chuihua Gate reply, saying that Mrs. Xie San was here again.
The word "you" is enough to show that the women are not happy with Mr. Lu.
Xie Ruzhuo frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Did you tell me what she came to do?"
The old woman lowered her head and respectfully replied, "Mrs. Xie San said she missed you, and came to see you, Princess." But there was a certain amount of contempt in her lowered eyes. She had been looking at people all her life, what kind of The color of the goods can still be recognized at a glance.
That Mrs. Xie San seems to be powerful.
After hearing what the mother-in-law said, Xie Ruzhuo also frowned. Doesn't she believe that this Mr. Lu is really as grand as she said? I came to see her because I was afraid that there was something I had to do.
The last time Mr. Lu came here, he still begged for mercy on behalf of his third uncle and asked her to help. Why this time
Xie Ruzhuo soon had the answer.
As soon as you enter the house, you are surrounded by warm air.
Her house is always filled with the fragrance of lilies, which is very calming and reassuring. But today, there is a strong smell of rouge in this room, making people feel dizzy when they smell it.
Xie Ruzhuo's eyes became imperceptibly cold, and when he looked at Mr. Lu, who was still sitting on the chair and drinking her Taiping Monkey King as if it were plain water, he felt a little more displeased.
Hearing the footsteps, Ms. Lu quickly put down the tea cup in her hand and said with a flattering smile, "The princess is back, my aunt has been waiting for you for a long time."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo asked with a smile, "I wonder what the third aunt is here for?"
