When Chao Jingyou came in tomorrow, Yun Fenghuang noticed her. He had lost a lot of weight.
Although the makeup is exquisite, it cannot hide the decline of her complexion.
Apparently he hasn't been having a good time lately.
That put Yun Fenghuang at ease, so he sent the others to stay alone with her and asked someone to brew a cup of red date tea to refresh her.
"Thank you, dearest lady." Chao Jingyou also thanked her obediently, "My little girl is still young, so it is inevitable that she will be a little noisy. She has been very annoyed in the past two months."
I sighed with emotion and said, "No, Concubine Xian, you have great blessings. Although the two children on your knees are not biological, can you save your worries?"
Her biological daughter, Coco, is in trouble!
Not only is it easy to cause trouble, but it makes people recognize each other.
Others don't ask for hugs, but my own mother has to hug her all the time... Madam, you said that a commoner woman is not a housewife after all. She has to deal with everything, and she has to take care of her husband who is still recovering from his injury. Where does that come from? Kung Fu is always with her, right? She is only so young, and she doesn’t understand when I try to reason with her. Anyway, if something doesn’t go well, she’ll cry or make trouble. Then she can’t bear to let it go, so she can grit her teeth and hold on.
If a sister of her own race came to say that, Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but echo a few words to comfort her, but what Chao Jingyou said, she smiled on her face, and automatically added in her heart: So, If the empress has a good life, she simply doesn’t have any biological flesh and blood.
Yun Fenghuang immediately wanted to throw the red date tea on her face.
After all, Chao Jingyou came to ask for help. Realizing that it was good, she finally stopped her daughter's complaints and talked about business... Of course, the purpose of her trip was to urge Qi Jiulu to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible, but Zhi Tong certainly didn't. It’s better to tell Concubine Xian directly. Otherwise, even if the wise concubine is not prepared, she will not be able to agree, and she may be forced to scold her and teach her a lesson.
She then said: "Your Majesty is the daughter of the fourth concubine, and she also raises the eldest prince and Princess Zhaoqing. The brothers are also the masters of the palace. The Xie family is not what it used to be. Originally, women of the common people should not be married anymore." Speaking. But the nephew of the common man was sincere and wanted to live and die because of this. He had no brothers and was the third generation of a single generation. The elders in the family couldn't bear it, so they asked the common woman to be brave enough to come and talk to the empress. Let’s talk about it…”
Yun Fenghuang said inexplicably: "Then what's going on?"
Then Chao Jingyou said, in fact, there is nothing new. Both the Xie family and the Chao family are wealthy families in the north. Because of Xie Fenghuan's matter, and Chao Jingyou married Qi Jiulu instead of Yun Fenghuang, of course the two families could not marry. . But for such a large and prosperous clan, it is inevitable that if there are too many people, there will be one person who they work closely with, a distant nephew of Chao Jingyou, and a clan sister of Tong Yun Fenghuang, so it is better to have a secret relationship.
Fortunately, it started last year. They were both very young, and when they were discussing marriage, they were always favored at home, and they never got anything they asked for.
Therefore, even if they know that their elders are not willing to marry the wrong person, they still beg to be together.
In fact, the Chao family made very few mistakes. Xie refused to nod when asked.
Is that certain? Not to mention the grievances between the two families, the Xie family has suffered a lot. How can I swallow that breath? Just as Chao Jingyou said, the Xie family is obviously not what it used to be. Because of Yun Feng Huang Because of Xie Wuzheng, they have begun to enter the temple's sight, and they are definitely not comparable to the small and wealthy families in the countryside before.
In addition, Yun Fenghuang and Xie Wuzheng both want to use their legitimate brothers, sisters and even nephews and nieces to marry into high-ranking families. Therefore, the outstanding children of the family, especially the legitimate daughters who can more easily enter high-ranking families, are waiting for a price. At that time, how could Keke be so cheap as he had a grudge against the Chao family of Yemen
But the Chao family's son was the sweetheart of the third generation, and he repeatedly came to Chao Jingyou and wanted to follow Yun Fenghuang, so he made an exception and allowed him to bring the beauty home.
To be honest, Yun Fenghuang was very moved by his indomitable spirit, so he was very happy to... refused: "My parents make the final decision on marriage matters. Since the mother-in-law of my clan girl has given the right words, there is no way I can do it." Let me rely on my status as a virtuous concubine to suppress their reasons for marrying their daughters."
"Why don't you think that your nephew is absent?" Chao Jing sighed, "It's rare for a commoner woman to be tempted by her nephew, and I'm afraid she won't be able to get over it in her lifetime."
In fact, she just talked about that matter casually and didn't really care about it.
Sighing at this moment is also a pretense, and it is done smoothly.
But when Yun Fenghuang heard this, his expression became meaningful, and he said softly: "How come you can't get through it? I think Qi Jiulu is very upset that he still married me and had a daughter with me?"
"..." Chao Jingyou didn't shut up.
It's not that there is nothing to say, but there is a gap in status between the two parties. There are some things that she can't say now.
Yun Fenghuang simply had no intention of continuing to humiliate her based on his status, and waved his leg to ask her to retreat: "There is no need to talk about that matter again. If anyone in my clan asks me for similar things in the future, I will just let it go myself. I thought there was something wrong with me coming to the palace, and it was just trivial things... I was really pitiful. I had already done things for Bidong, but I had to listen to my family's wishes and do this and that. I just said He seemed to feel sorry for my daughter, and I don’t know if the Chao family will ask me to use my daughter as a bargaining chip in the future, will I continue to listen?"
Seeing Chao Jingyou leaving in despair, she was frightened and asked, "What are the Chao family doing recently?"
Qingdu said awkwardly: "I have never heard anything about them. I will go back to investigate."
Yun Fenghuang nodded and said: "Cha Yidong, although Chao Jingyou is indeed very influenced by the Chao family, she is not stupid. She waited for such a long time before entering the palace to see me. Is it possible that it will happen? Is it something that is definitely not achievable?”
Of course that's not true. Chao Jingyou actually just wanted to enter the palace to meet the virtuous concubine.
After she returned, she went to look for Qi Jiulu. Seeing that the man ignored her as always, she pursed her lips, suppressed the sourness in her heart, and retreated to the east, saying slowly: "He just followed the Xie family into the palace. Here, I saw the Concubine Xian."
Qi Jiulu was indifferent, as if he hadn't heard the words at all.
It seemed like I heard it again but it didn't matter anymore.
Chao Jingyou was not disappointed, and said calmly: "Concubine Xian's complexion is much worse than before, probably because of the red crown of the crane. Tomorrow, the mother and daughter of the Xie family's fifth room will also enter the palace. The young lady of their fifth room will not agree. It was given to the imperial guard. I heard that Fu Bhidong was the matchmaker himself, but the fifth house was not very happy. After arriving at Xuanqing Palace, the fifth lady of the Xie family talked to Concubine Xian alone for a long time, and when she left, The eyes are all red."
"I care so much about Mr. Xie, why don't I ask him to give me a letter of release so that I can marry Mr. Xie's son?" Qi Jiulu finally raised his head and asked with a sneer, "What on earth do I want to say?"
"If Mr. Xie is willing to marry him, he doesn't want to." Chao Jingyou sneered and said, "It's better to be angry than to be ignored by me in the name of my wife... What does he want to say?" What he wanted to say was that Concubine Xianru Ming Yuezi was not as happy as the rumors outside said! I also know how much the Prince Regent dislikes her! In the previous court meeting, the prince who advocated forcing the virtuous concubine to death was among them! If I stay in Donglai then, I will hurt her even more! "
Seeing Qi Jiulu looking at her coldly, his eyes showing no trace of the ruthless protection and respect a wife should have, but full of mockery, she took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and said in a cold voice, "What? I thought he was being alarmist, bu Can you coax me to leave the imperial capital?! No, if he doesn't like me, then he can stay there as a good concubine, but I don't want to think about it. She is now a good concubine, deeply favored by the emperor, and has two sons and daughters. The first empress dowager and the two empress dowagers are very close to the Sixth Palace... I miss her again, do I think she misses me? When he went into the palace to pay her respects tomorrow, she saw that he was clearly dripping with tears. Stupid, obviously I have completely forgotten that I promised to summon him along with that trip!"
"She can't even remember him. How can she remember me?"
"I beg you, if you don't want to cause trouble for her, just leave early while no one notices what I'm doing to stay in the Imperial Capital!"
"I beg you, I really hope that she will think about me. When she misses me, she will concentrate on thinking about how to drive Luo Tieyi out of the Dingbei Army and make me more visible to Uncle Zhaowu!"
"Otherwise, what's the use of staying in the house all day? I can't see her anyway, and I don't dare to go out to inquire about her. She even wanders around. Not only do I not help, but she occasionally begs to be treated with me. Related troubles!”
Chao Jingyou shut up in one breath, didn't care about Qi Jiulu's expression, stood up and walked out.
She was afraid that if she walked a little too slowly, her tears would fall away, and that she would be exposed to humiliation and indifference in vain.
Do you regret it
Of course I regret it.
