Chapter 466 Candidates

Concubine Liu did not expect Prince Zhao's mansion to move so quickly, but within a few days, Concubine Zhao brought Xu Yin to the door again.

She hid the surprise in her heart, and said with a smile: "I don't think there is anything wrong these days? Everyone is a busy person, and they all ran to me."

"Who told you that Taiyuan Palace is more fragrant than other places?" Princess Zhao laughed.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat down, and Concubine Liu asked casually: "In the past, A Cheng's wife followed you, why did you change to A Ling's wife today?"

Concubine Zhao took the tea served by the palace servants, and said, "A Yin is actually looking for you today, and I'm here to join in the fun."

Concubine Liu was startled.

Xu Yin raised his head and smiled, and said, "Madam, I have a good thing, and you will be happy if you keep it."

Concubine Liu pretended to be very interested: "What's the matter?"

"I have a man here. He used to be the guard of Yongcheng. He made great achievements with me in the conquest of Chu last year. He was appointed Uncle Yiyong after the rebellion. Now he is the commander of the eleven guards of the imperial army. Didn't your mother say that he would give it to Miss Liu? Look at the marriage, when I go back and mention it, someone will think of him."

The Eleven Guards of the Forbidden Army is currently one of the guards in Gyeonggi.The commander of the Eleven Guards is the real general who holds the military power, not to mention that the opponent has a title.

With such an identity, even when the Liu family was still there, Liu Xi'er might not be able to climb it.

As soon as these words were said, Concubine Liu and Liu Xi'er were taken aback.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Xu Yin asked.

Concubine Liu came back to her senses, and smiled: "Since the Princess has been chosen, it's a good thing. However, this general holds an important position and is an earl. I'm afraid Xi'er won't be able to climb up. You also know that the Liu family is now No, our aunt and nephew can only depend on each other, and Xi'er can't be considered top-notch, I'm afraid Qi Dafei is not even me!"

"Toffee don't have to worry," Xu Yin had already prepared. "This general married a wife in his early years, but later in an accident, his family was killed by an adulterer, and he was the only one left. He is the second wife." , not demanding much about his wife's family background. I've asked, and he doesn't mind."

"This..." Concubine Liu hesitated.

Seeing this, Princess Zhao reproached and said, "You child, you can't speak clearly. Why did you marry a wife in the early years? So the concubine thinks she is an old man!"

After finishing speaking, she turned back and explained: "Ma'am, don't get me wrong. I have met this General Du. He looks handsome and handsome, and he is a real talent. He has studied, and he is only 26 this year. He has a good temperament and restrained personality, not that kind of rude warrior. Jing There are countless people who like him among the old and new families, if you don’t want to see him, you will be snatched away by others.”

Having said that, it is impossible for Concubine Liu to refuse.

She had no choice but to smile: "Since that's the case, why don't you just look at each other?" As she spoke, she complained half-truthfully, "I wanted to take a look at it for a year, but unexpectedly you came here so soon, think about it." It's a shame."

"What's the matter?" Princess Zhao didn't take it seriously, "The marriage can be settled first, and we can get married later. The battle is busy right now, and General Du won't mind."

So the two parties agreed that they would go to Daguangming Temple to watch the dragon boats on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and they happened to meet each other.

After Princess Zhao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left, the hall became quiet.

Concubine Liu bowed her head and said nothing, and Liu Xi'er went to clean up the tea table.

Just as the stove was turned off, a teacup flew over and fell hard at her feet.

Liu Xi'er was taken aback, and looked at Concubine Liu in shock, "Auntie..."

"Are you happy?" Concubine Liu looked at her coldly, "Is your heart moved? After marrying, you will be Mrs. Uncle, and you don't have to stay with me, an old woman, as a widow in a cold palace."

"Auntie!" Her expression was so frightening that Liu Xi'er couldn't help but kneel down.But at her feet was the broken teacup just now, and the sharp broken porcelain immediately pierced her knee.

Liu Xi'er let out a pain, and looked up to see Concubine Liu's gloomy, dripping face, but she didn't dare to stand up, so she could only endure it forcefully, watching the blood seep out of her dress.

"Aunt, I, I don't mean that."

"I can see if you mean that." Concubine Liu said coldly, "Tell me, did you make an appointment with Xu San? You went to Da Guangming Temple earlier to beg her, right?"

"No!" Liu Xi'er cried and shook her head, not daring to move because of the pain, "Auntie, trust me, this is the first time I've heard of such a person."

"If you hadn't begged her, would she have chosen such a good person for you? You have had a grudge before."

Liu Xi'er burst into tears, she didn't know whether it was from pain or fear: "I really don't know, I just obeyed my aunt and hugged her everywhere."

She suddenly thought of the reason, and hurriedly said: "Perhaps Xu San just thinks that I am obedient? That person is her subordinate, and he started his career entirely by her. If he married a noble girl, he might have other ideas."

This reason is tenable. Seeing her pitiful appearance, Grand Concubine Liu believed her for the most part. When she saw her blood-oozing skirt, her tone softened: "Get up."

"Thank you, aunt."

Liu Xi'er stood up cautiously, gasping for breath in pain.

Concubine Liu frowned when she saw this: "You hurt yourself, what will you do on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival? If I want to excuse myself, won't it make them suspicious?"

Liu Xi'er squeezed out a smile: "Don't worry, aunt, I'm not seriously injured, and I will definitely not let others see it."

Concubine Liu was satisfied with this, and asked someone to bandage her up.

After the wound was healed, she waved back the palace servants and said softly, "Xi'er, don't think that your aunt is hindering your future. That person sounds good, but isn't he Xu San's subordinate after all? Marry him, even if You have become Mrs. Uncle, but in front of Xu San, you are just a servant. Do you want to bow her head forever? Just like the daughter-in-law in her yard, maybe your child will have to be her child's companion read."

Liu Xi'er lowered her head and said softly, "Auntie, of course I don't want to."

"That's it." Concubine Liu smiled, "Marrying your cousin will be different. Although you are a concubine now, you will be the master in the future. When Xu San sees you, he must be respectful. There is no movement, maybe Yan's eldest son will come out of your stomach. At that time, let alone being a companion, the life and death of her whole family will be in your child's hands."

Liu Xi'er seemed to be moved by her, showing a yearning expression.

Concubine Liu stroked the top of her head with a smile, as if comforting a pet cat: "Don't worry, give aunt a little more time, your cousin will agree."

"Yes." Liu Xi'er said obediently, "I always listen to my aunt."

Concubine Liu nodded in satisfaction: "Go and rest, take good care of your wounds, and don't move for a few days."

"My niece is leaving."

Liu Xi'er took one step at a time, and finally returned to her room.

While entering the room, tears fell.
