Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 433: It's hot to the touch

Views:

Because Xie Lan and others were sent out of the palace, Wei Hengyan came over with a big belly to visit Yue Xiaozhu.

Then there were hints in and out of words that she had a brother who was a concubine in her family. He was fourteen years old and unmarried. Although he was a concubine, his biological mother was very popular with her father, and his treatment was no worse than that of a legitimate son.

The key is that this younger brother is very smart and sensible. He is the kind of person who has a talent for reading and is willing to work hard.

He also has a very good character and respects his parents, biological mother, and legitimate brothers and sisters... In a word: Sister Xianfei, you will definitely not lose money by marrying a sister to him!

"Your Wei family is a high-ranking sect that is on par with the Luo family and the Ouyang family. These children are concubines, but they are direct descendants. How can you look up to those sisters of this palace?" After hearing this, Yun Fenghuang said amusedly, " You must know that the person Luo promised to marry my sister was just a concubine from the sidelines. It was better to exchange for Liang."

Wei Hengyan said sternly: "Luo Hanyi is short-sighted. Although my younger sister is not as smart as my elder sister, she thinks she has a far-sighted vision than Luo Hanyi. Although Xie's background is not rich, but with her sister here, sooner or later she will soar to the sky and become a high-ranking person!" Furthermore, although my sister has never met the ladies of the Xie family, from my perspective, they must be both talented and beautiful, and have beautiful hearts."

"How can such women be so disrespectful to each other because of their birth status?"

"Therefore, I ask my sister not to think that my younger brother is just a concubine... In fact, my sister has no intention of looking down on Xie's daughter. It's just that among the brothers from the same father, this is the only concubine who has not yet been married."

"And since my sister is so outstanding, I guess the sisters in the family are also very smart."

"My sister really doesn't want to take advantage of others, so she boldly recommends me."

Zhao Rong spoke so nicely. Even though he knew that she might not necessarily think so in her heart, Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but smile and frown: "You have good intentions, but what do your little brother and your elders think?"

Wei Hengyan hurriedly said: "If I hadn't asked them, my sister wouldn't dare to talk about this matter. My younger brother has always observed etiquette and paid attention to the words of his parents and his matchmaker. Furthermore, he once said that a wife's first priority is her character and intelligence. As for the Family background, on the other hand, is secondary; as for the elders in the family, don’t hide it from my sister... My father and younger brother also have the same view."

"As for the stepmother, she may object to this because she wants to suppress her younger brother intentionally or unintentionally. But not to mention that my father loves my younger brother and will not let her do whatever she wants. My sister will not sit back and watch her stepmother be unkind."

"As for my little brother's biological mother, she always listens to my father and little brother."

"My sister sent someone to test her tone before, but she was very much in favor of Xie's daughter being like this."

Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, maybe the Wei family was optimistic about him and wanted to bet on a bastard. Anyway, he was just a bastard. He was loved and smart. After all, his biological mother was from a humble background. He couldn't compare with his legitimate son who had the support of his maternal family. The situation was wrong. , can be discarded at any time.

And since he is a smart concubine, if he were to marry a wife from a truly wealthy family, it would probably threaten his legitimate son and cause a feud between the brothers.

It would be better to choose someone like the Xie family, whose family status is much worse than that of the Wei family. After entering the house, she can't compete with the sisters-in-law who married from the same family. She won't be too domineering in front of her husband's biological mother - especially the biological mother. She is just a concubine, no matter how favored she is, she is still small. If she is the legitimate daughter of a family like the Luo family and the Ouyang family, her mother-in-law must treat her well. The biological mother of a concubine who is not a serious mother-in-law will have even less status.

Then, having backers like a virtuous concubine and a prospective husband-in-law can also be of great help to the husband.

Really good value for money.

Yun Fenghuang was well aware of Wei's plan, but... Xie really needed such an in-law now.

She only thought about it for a moment before deciding to agree to the marriage, and then said with a smile: "When you say this, I am a little bit at a loss. After all, these sisters of this palace came all the way to meet Luo Luo. My marriage is, secondly, for my twenty-first brother Shangzhu."

"On the day when the family is thinking about the Master, the elders must be very busy."

"I'm afraid that Her Majesty the Princess will be bored in the room alone, so I specially arranged for a few girls of the same age to come with her, so that she can keep her company when the time comes."

"But I have no intention of letting them marry in the Imperial Capital."

"After all, the parents of several of them didn't come this time. Even though I am a virtuous concubine, I can't help but make such a big decision for them."

When Wei Hengyan heard this, he was a little disappointed at first, but then he thought, if Concubine Xian really refused to get married, why did he need to ask his family for their opinions just now

Most likely I want to take advantage of it.

Then he admitted to Meng Lang, and said that his family was very sincere in asking to marry the Xie daughter... So Yun Fenghuang nodded reluctantly: "Well, then I will send someone to the north to ask about their parents. stop."

"Sister, thank you, sister!" Wei Hengyan said hurriedly, "When we return to the palace for the banquet, my father will bring his younger brother with him and come to greet you then."

By the way, let Yun Fenghuang pass it by - if you dare to say this, at least Wei Hengyan, the younger brother, is still passable on the scene.

Otherwise, given Concubine Xian's temper, even if the Wei family has a high family background, she will definitely fall out in a minute if she does something really unsightly.

The smile on Yun Fenghuang's face became a little more sincere, and he said: "This matter is not urgent, your little brother is only fourteen... As for you, how have you been these past two days? Is the imperial doctor's Ping'an pulse checked every day? ?Isn't Po Wen ready?"

She exchanged greetings with him, and finally even sent Wei Hengyan back to his residence in person before returning to Jieyue Xiaozhu.

This courtesy made Wei Hengyan very happy, and he said to his confidants in private: "Sure enough, the marriage is more effective. Concubine Xian was kind to me before, but nothing like this. You can send a message to the family, so that my little brother can review his lessons well. Let someone cut him some more elegant robes, so as not to come back to Concubine Xian and disappoint Concubine Xian."

The confidant comforted him: "Our young master is well-born and diligent in his studies. How can the Concubine Xian look down on him?"

"It's okay if I only have one younger brother." Wei Hengyan sighed, "But now everyone can see the future of the Concubine Xian - whether she can continue to advance or stop now, she is a giant in the palace who cannot be underestimated. Let alone the big one. Help the prince and Princess Zhaoqing when they grow up! Whose family doesn’t have many dispensable people, do you think I am the only one who would take the initiative to propose a marriage with Mr. Xie?"

"Who knows if those people will introduce someone to compare with my younger brother?"

A confidant said: "There are quite a few young ladies from the Xie family coming back to the Imperial Capital this time. Even if someone is better than our young master, it is impossible to marry all the young ladies from the Xie family!"

"But people have close relationships, and the Xie family has prosperous heirs. I heard that Concubine Xian's ranking has reached seventeen when she was at home." Wei Hengyan said, "There are many sisters, do you think she can take care of each one? I am in such a hurry. I brought this up just to make a good impression on my younger brother so that I can teach Concubine Xian to marry the sister she values the most to him... What's the use of marrying a daughter of the Xie family that Concubine Xian doesn't care much about? "

"Then why don't you go earlier today?" A confidant thought about it and said, "Go earlier. The Xie family hasn't left yet, so we can observe who is most valued by the Concubine Xian, right?"

Wei Hengyan shook his head and said: "It's so easy for people to be reunited with each other. What's the point of us rushing over and disturbing her? It's not like you don't know Concubine Xian's temper. She is the only one who causes trouble for others. Who dares to make her unhappy? She There are many ways to retaliate! Today, Concubine Xuan sent someone over and said something, but what was the result? I heard that Concubine Xian specially asked someone to take her to the flower hall to meet her, but she did not let the palace people see the Xie family at all. The opportunity... Just watch, Concubine Xian will definitely make trouble for Concubine Xuan next."

"Anyway, I have been following Concubine Xian for the longest time, and I have always respected her."

"It's too early to mention this matter now. As long as I don't make her particularly disgusted, she should take extra care of me."

She mused, "I only ask my little brother to sharpen his gun before the battle just in case."

... Zhaorong's estimate was correct. The borrowing moon building was very lively in the next few days. In addition to Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui, almost all the concubines came to visit.

Mrs. Yaoning, Mrs. Manya, Yin Zhaoyi, Yuan Zhaoyuan, Lu Chongyi, Cui Chongrong... Except for Jia Pingye, who had already taken refuge with the queen and felt that it was unlikely to convince Yun Fenghuang, everyone was interested in marrying the Xie family.

Xie's daughter seemed to have suddenly become popular.

So much so that Chunjia heard the news, and came to Jieyue Xiaozhu that day to tease Yun Fenghuang: "I heard that the sisters of my beloved concubine are all shy, and they have virtuous temperaments, so all the concubines are so beautiful. Are you interested in seeking marriage for your brother, nephew?"

"Your Majesty said this, is it because I didn't keep my body for you?" Yun Fenghuang was not sure whether his words were meant to be offensive, so he raised his eyebrows and asked.

Chunjia suddenly became alert and scolded with a smile: "I just said it casually, but you are also jealous?"

Yun Fenghuang thought that he was just joking, so he said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty has never praised me for being so shameless, let alone saying that I have a virtuous temperament... Now that you suddenly say this, can I not think that you are the best?" Do you want your sisters to come into the palace to serve you?"

"My beloved concubine, do you still need me to praise you?" Chunjia has already summed up a set of experiences during these days of getting along with her, and now she said sternly, "My beloved concubine has always been a shy woman, and this is a definite fact. , no need to question! As for my beloved concubine’s temperament, isn’t it because I consider your beloved concubine a virtuous and virtuous concubine?”

Only then was Yun Fenghuang satisfied. He gave him a sweet smile and said, "Your Majesty will say such words to coax me. In fact, he may feel that all the other sisters are better than me."

Chunjia hugged her to his knees and kissed her, saying: "What I say to my beloved concubine is too unjust. Look at me as queen, have I ever given the title of fourth concubine to anyone else? Who do I like the most in my heart? But Isn’t it obvious at a glance?”

"This is because I am still young now. Who knows how many years will pass?" Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "In a few years, I will be old when new people come in. By then, your Majesty may not want to see you at all. What a face I have!"

"If my beloved concubine said this, do you think she dislikes me for being too old?" She was waiting for Chunjia to continue coaxing her. When Chunjia heard this, she pondered for a moment and said quietly, "After all, I am older than my beloved concubine." You've grown nearly ten years! What did my concubine say before? I'm almost ready to be your father, right?"

Yun Fenghuang: "..."

Is this script wrong

Shouldn't you continue to promise me that such a thing will never happen and that you will always like me the most? !

However, Chunjia did not follow what she thought and continued: "That's right, my concubine is only twenty-eight years old, but I am already twenty-four. It is reasonable for my concubine to have resentment in her heart and think that I am too old. matter… "

He sighed sadly, "I have really wronged my beloved concubine!"

Yun Fenghuang: "!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It's enough!

If you don't want to coax me, don't coax me. Why do you want me to coax you in turn? ? ? !
