Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 263 Back to Mother's Home

The flowers are like brocade, and the wine is fragrant.

Zhao Xiwei sat at the banquet, his eyes fell on the outside of the court without hesitation, and he was in a trance for a moment.

It was snowing outside.

The maidservants stood on the porch, some with bamboo poles in their hands, carefully cleaning off the ice edges on the eaves, and some with brooms, buried in the snow on the stone steps.

As if sensing Zhao Xiwei's gaze, the servants suddenly raised their heads, and looked away from a distance through the bright window.

The corners of Zhao Xiwei's mouth twitched.

The status of the princess is really easy to use, and the Zhao family looked at her with a lot of awe...

The strangest thing is that Xu Yunjiao was included among these people——

The old lady laughed and said, "It's rare for Miss Wei to go back to the house to reunite with everyone. Everyone is eating and drinking, so don't hold yourself back."

"Yes, yes, try this fish." The second wife, Yuan Shi, picked up a chopstick dish and put it in Zhao Xiwei's bowl, then turned her head and smiled, "Third sister-in-law, I heard about it early in the morning , the kitchen has prepared venison today."

The third wife, Mrs. Sun, pursed her lips and smiled: "I heard that the Crown Princess is coming, so I specially ordered Mrs. Jiang to prepare it."

"Princess, listen!" Yuan Shi smiled at Zhao Xi, "This venison is really a good thing, we can't eat a bite all year round, and I don't know how many times I worshiped in front of the Bodhisattva in my previous life. Such a good fortune.”

Sun said with a joke: "Then the second sister-in-law made a mistake, the Bodhisattva won't let her get dirty!"

"She's the only one who is naughty!" The old lady smiled and touched Yuan's forehead, "Miss Wei is now the princess of the Eastern Palace. She has never eaten delicacies from mountains and seas. What kind of good is this venison!"

Zhao Xi smiled and said: "Grandma, you are wrong, I really haven't eaten it!"

The old lady laughed heartily, and patted Zhao Xiwei's head affectionately: "My sister Wei has not changed at all, she is still so good at making grandma happy."

Xu Yunjiao personally took Zhao Xiwei's hand: "Come on, Sister Wei, sit beside me."

Zhao Xi smiled, and sat down generously on her left.

She is really curious...

For a person like Yuan Shi who is long-sleeved, good at dancing, and exquisite in all aspects, it's fine to be courteous to her in every possible way.

What made someone as arrogant as Xu Yunjiao willing to put down his face and greet her with a smile?

Zhao Chengyan, Zhao Chengyu, Zhao Chengya, Zhao Chengmiao, the four sisters sat next to the third wife in turn.

Except for Zhao Chengyu who only ate with a calm face, Zhao Chengyan's performance can also be regarded as respectful.

Zhao Chengya stared innocently at Zhao Xi with round eyes.

Sun hurriedly pulled her daughter over: "Sister Ya, you can't stare at Sister Wei like this, it's impolite!"

She had been to the East Palace, and had seen the crown prince's protection of Zhao Xiwei, but she was a little uncomfortable, even a little nervous.

"I think Sister Wei is beautiful!" Zhao Chengya broke away from her mother's arms with a smile, and came to Zhao Xiwei again: "Sister Wei, they all say that you are a princess now, what is a princess? Is it even more powerful?"

"Sister Ya—" Mrs. Sun hurriedly held her back again, "You can't say such nonsense, if His Royal Highness finds out, you will be punished!"

Zhao Chengyan's hands shaking the dishes, one of the chopsticks fell to the bottom of the table with a clatter.

At the same time, Zhao Chengyu suddenly choked and coughed again and again.

"what happened?"

Xu Yunjiao and Yuan asked quickly.

"No, nothing, nothing." Zhao Chengyan and Zhao Chengyu looked at each other and denied it repeatedly.

Zhao Xiwei saw it in his eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After being frightened by Li Xuanye, the two sisters did not dare to be monsters anymore.

The old lady raised her glass with a smile: "Come on, let's take a sip with the princess."

Jin Xiu who was standing behind her smiled and said: "Unfortunately, the Crown Princess is recuperating and cannot drink alcohol, old madam, the servant girl will accompany you for a drink."

The old lady frowned: "What's wrong with Miss Wei? Are you sick?"

Zhao Xiwei said: "It's nothing, it's just that the illness has flared up in the past two days, and it's already much better."

"Is it really all right?" The old lady's face became a little nervous: "His Royal Highness didn't say anything?"

"I said it!" Zhao Xi nodded with a smile, "Your Highness is very angry when he knows that I was kicked!"

"This..." The old lady choked.

Xu Yunjiao put down the wine glass in her hand, her eyes burning with anger.

Zhao Xi glanced at Xu Yunjiao with a smile, and said unhurriedly: "Jinxiu, I don't remember exactly what His Highness the Crown Prince said that day, tell the old lady."

"Yes." Jinxiu is smart, and she learned a lot of rules in the Eastern Palace, and her ability to observe words and expressions has improved to a higher level, and she can understand Zhao Xiwei's intentions with just one look.

Immediately took a step forward, and reported solemnly: "The old lady didn't know something. His Highness the Crown Prince was very angry at that time. Not only did he say that he would summon the Prime Minister to ask him personally, but he also said..."

"What else?" The old lady's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked.

Jinxiu smiled lightly, and quickly made up a set of arguments in her mind: "The crown prince also said that the crown princess is his woman, and hurting the crown princess is equal to hurting the crown prince, and hurting the crown prince is equal to hurting your majesty. If the crown prince's illness is cured It's all right, if something really happened, he would definitely not be able to spare the Zhao family."

She articulated clearly and had a solemn posture. After saying these words, the old lady's face turned pale.

Xu Yunjiao was stunned for a moment.

No one in the Zhao family knew that she kicked Zhao Xiwei.

Now that the old matter is brought up again, isn't it just to make her look bad!
After reacting, a flash of shame and anger flashed across his face, and he stood up suddenly: "Old lady!"

Zhao Xi blinked slightly, and said with a grin: "Grandmother, the eldest lady seems to be very dissatisfied with what His Royal Highness said."

The old lady immediately gave Xu Yunjiao a hard look: "Sit down!"

You were the one who kicked and hurt people, and you were the one who didn't apologize. Now you dare to stand up, because you think the house is not chaotic enough! ?

Xu Yunjiao was furious, and was about to argue——

Suddenly, he remembered what Zhao Ziyi said to himself yesterday.

The night before yesterday, Zhao Ziyi suddenly entered the palace, and when he came back, he seemed to be a different person.

He held her hand, and the familiar indifference and alienation on the face that made her nostalgic was completely gone.

"Yunjiao, I know you can't accept Miss Wei, and I don't ask you to treat her as your own. But she is the Crown Princess now, and the Zhao family is the Crown Princess's mother's house. You are her mother in name, everyone No one can leave anyone. From today, I will move back from the study, and I will treat you wholeheartedly in the future, so don't worry about those old things anymore, okay?"

She snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "You are really a good father, you really endured the humiliation for that girl!"

Unexpectedly, he did not look at each other indifferently as usual, but showed a trace of sadness: "Xu Yunjiao, do you really want to compete with me for the rest of your life?"
