My concubine is so good at curling

Chapter 192

Jiang Xian seldom asks him, so Xie Che wants to arrange a better position for Jiang Yi.

"The emperor loves you so much, but he is a concubine. My cousin has not yet reached the crown, but he is only a child. It's just that the Jiang family has no connections in Beijing, so we can only ask the emperor for help. Don't praise him too much. Let him be a soldier from the beginning. Start running errands. If you can't stand the hardship, go home early and do other jobs, so as not to miss important military affairs."

Seeing that she was sensible, Xie Che felt sorry for her: "The Jiang family is withered, you should be more considerate, I will arrange for you, and I will not let the talent be buried. Well, didn't I say that when there are no outsiders, you don't have to call yourself Is it a concubine? I usually talk about you and I with enthusiasm, but this time I talk about it respectfully."

After finishing speaking, Xie Che asked with a tentative smile: "Xian'er and the imperial concubine are on good terms, and Ni's father also visited Rong's mansion after he came to Beijing. If he just wants to enter the barracks, he can just tell General Rong that it will be easy for him to stay close and seek far away." I’m afraid I’ll delay the child by writing a letter to ask to come to the palace.”

"What the emperor said is wrong. For my father and me, the emperor is the one who is closest."

Jiang Xian leaned on him with a smile.

Being complacent is a natural weakness of human nature, especially for people close to us. The so-called arrogance is nothing but forgetting that the other party is not only the person next to you, but also the king who holds the power of the world.

But for Jiang Xian, there was obviously no such trouble.

Because her father in the previous life gave her and her mother instructions: "I will give you food and clothes, you have to remember who to listen to!" This is Jiang Xian's cognition of intimacy, and she will not just because of happiness and love. Lost the sense of security.

"If I can't do it for you, no one else can do it either."

Xie Che hugged her shoulders and gave her a solemn promise, which was regarded as his approval of her words.

Time flies like a white horse, and another three springs and autumns have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Ma Ronghua gave birth to a healthy third prince named Xie Qi.During the period when she was diagnosed with Ximai, Zhaoyang Palace directly refused to allow her to enter the house. After giving birth, Ma Ronghua visited the house as soon as she was confinement, and she gave Concubine Rong a lot of smiles in fear before she was forgiven.

When she was pregnant with the third prince, Ma Ronghua said to Jiang Xian: "The imperial concubine lost her temper with me, but I was actually relieved."

Jiang Xian nodded: "The imperial concubine has such a temperament."

If Concubine Rong didn't say a word, there might be a real breakup.

This is also Concubine Rong's personality defect. In this harem, there are mostly two types of high-ranking concubines. One is like Concubine Zhang Xian, who is virtuous and virtuous. Doubt her, the other is strong and vicious, anyone who provokes her will have a layer of skin gouged out, Concubine Rong is the leader of the latter.

It's just that she didn't want to harm Ma Ronghua's fetus, but she publicly showed her dislike for pregnant women.In case something goes wrong with Ma Ronghua's pregnancy, it would be fine if someone really killed her, and the real culprit is to be found out. If she lost it carelessly in a daze, suspicious eyes would focus on Concubine Rong.

What is this picture?

Jiang Xian also knew what she was trying to do, so she just wanted to have fun.

If you compare Gongdou's life to a novel, she is "Jiang Promises to Get Promoted", Chen Guiren is "The Years of Lying and Winning with Legs in the Harem", and Concubine Rong is "The Harem of Desires and Enmity".

"Based on my understanding of the noble concubine, I'm just not allowed to go to Zhaoyang Palace. In fact, I'm almost acting like a spoiled child."

Ma Ronghua gently stroked his swollen belly.

Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, even when she talked about Concubine Rong Gui, there was an aura of maternal love shining.If Concubine Rong knew that she was talking about herself in such a doting tone, she would kick her if she couldn't bear it.

The third prince, Xie Qi, hadn't even grown his teeth yet, so he became the little follower of the two elder brothers, but because he couldn't speak easily, he often called his "brother" a "grasshopper".Once he ran to hug the emperor's thigh, crying and said: "My big grasshopper was eaten by chickens!"

Xie Zhao's eyebrows twitched as he listened.

The emperor picked him up and said, "Did you run to the dining room to play?"

The palace is not a vegetable market, so the possibility of letting live chickens run around is unlikely, so he thought his son was greedy, so he went to the dining room to ask for pastries.Xie Qi shook his head, tears filled his big eyes: "It's the chicken raised by the imperial concubine."

How could Concubine Rong's Zhaoyang Palace feed chickens?
Even if there were live chickens, they were still in the chicken coop in the small kitchen. A delicate person like her would probably not be able to smell the smell of chickens.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm going to kill that chicken right now, stew the chicken soup for Qi'er, and give you the big chicken legs too."

The emperor summoned Liang Yuyin and asked him to find some good grasshoppers for the third prince.

Xie Qi is not greedy for chicken legs. Aunt Mu, who is next to Concubine Shumu of Bihua Palace, can cook anything delicious, far better than the cook in the dining room, but he can kill the chicken to avenge his beloved grasshopper, and he suddenly feels Feeling better, he responded aggrievedly: "Thank you, Father."

"Xie Zhao, do you want to go back to Bihua Palace or Zhaoyang Palace?" the emperor asked.

"The son also wants to eat chicken legs, but the concubine is still waiting for the son."

"It's not easy? I will call your mother and concubine, and we will have a meal together."
-
When Jiang Xian arrived at Zhaoyang Palace in a chariot, she heard the emperor asking Concubine Rong: "It's so good, how did you raise chickens in your palace? You used to not even look at cats and dogs."

"The concubine saw that the third prince had a lot of fun raising insects, so she wanted to raise a chicken to accompany his grasshopper."

Concubine Rong said expressionlessly.

The emperor asked: "Concubine, did you do it on purpose or by accident?"

Concubine Rong pursed her lips, turned her face away: "It was intentional and careless."

Everyone understood, it was the imperial concubine throwing a temper tantrum and bullying the children.

The emperor was angry and funny, and he also took pity on the rumors and rumors she had received all these years - he did not have many children, but the two concubines who had sons were regarded as Concubine Rong in the eyes of outsiders, and she had no children under her knees. She met the third prince It's understandable to feel uncomfortable, and the emperor didn't want to punish her for it.

Fortunately, Concubine Rong's emotional intelligence was not lost, she had already prepared a big gift package that no boy could refuse, and gave it to the third prince as an apology.Xie Qi's eyes lit up when he saw the insects, he couldn't put it down, he forgot the big grasshopper who died tragically under the beak of the chicken, and thanked Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong is the best.

Then, Concubine Rong deliberately said: "The first prince and the second prince are about to go to the study, ready to learn, the third prince is only obsessed with playing grasshoppers? Ma Ronghua can't slack off, and prepare some homework for the third prince."

As soon as Xie Qi heard this, the originally raised smile faded back.

On the contrary, Ma Ronghua cast a very grateful look at the imperial concubine—the imperial concubine is really hard-spoken and soft-hearted. While bullying the child and crying, she still remembers the child's homework. The imperial concubine still has their mother and child in her heart.

"Speaking of the companions of the two princes, have you decided?"

Concubine Rong asked.

In fact, logically, the emperor should have drawn up the list and then selected it for the empress, but she asked so casually, guessing that the emperor had other arrangements.

"The list has been drawn up, and I still have to choose carefully, but one of Xie Zhao's companions is Concubine Shu's younger brother, that has already been decided."

The accompanying book selects the best from the children of the clan ministers, and it is understandable for Concubine Shu to recommend her own brothers.

In this regard, Guo Xiaoyi's treatment is completely different.

Because of Guo Xiaoyi's bad deeds, the emperor suspected that the Guo family was not strict in raising children and had a bad family style, so she said that she wanted to recommend her relatives to be the second prince's companion, but the emperor rejected them all.For this, Guo Xiaoyi couldn't help feeling resentful towards the emperor, thinking that the emperor favored concubine Shu and the eldest prince.

It was night, before going to bed, Jiang Xian asked the second prince about who would be his companion.

"Xie Sheng is deeply influenced by his mother and concubine. Although he has improved after getting in touch with Zhao'er more, I am still worried that Guo Xiaoyi will lead his temperament to the wrong side, so I will be more careful in choosing his companions."

Contrary to what Guo Xiaoyi thought, the emperor left all the companions who he thought were particularly good in moral character to the thin and introverted second prince, hoping to subtly improve it.Xie Che could have arranged it without saying a word, Jiang Xian didn't know those clan children at all, and he couldn't compare them, but he just wanted to tell her that he was afraid that she would mind, and he was full of guilt towards her.

Jiang Xian, who was in his arms, smiled: "The emperor's move coincides with me. The two princes are in such a good relationship now, if the second prince is affected by Guo Xiaoyi and changes his temperament, Zhao'er will also be sad."

Anyway, those who can be the prince's companions are all first-class outstanding children.

Jiang Xian didn't care about the gap in accompanying reading at all.

You princes, after all, you have to fight for your mother.

"The emperor treats me with sincerity, and I'm too happy to be happy. Besides, it's Zhao'er's fortune to let my father worry less about him. Just one thing, the emperor can't be indifferent to Zhao'er just because he is ignorant."

"I won't," he suppressed the smile on his face, held her face in his hands, and looked at her seriously: "I know that you have paid a lot for my children, and now the three princes have a harmonious relationship, and you are also very kind to Taihua." There are so many tricks, all thanks to Zhaoer who you taught. In my heart, you and Zhaoer are the most valued by me."

The eldest prince's final accompanying list was drawn up by the two of them.

The biological child knows in her heart that Xie Zhao is a child who is precocious and has strong self-control. Jiang Xian is not afraid that he will be influenced by his peers and become fun-loving. With her mother staring at him every day, he cannot change his temper.She whispered to the emperor: "If you choose a good character for the second prince, then I will be very smart. It doesn't matter if there are some shortcomings in character."

Children who dare to be sent to the palace will not have any major problems. The family has already screened them. The so-called character flaws are just too strong, too lively, or a little arrogant. There are a few Jiang Xians on the big list who want Yes, she learns faster than her peers: "It's good to give Zhao'er some competitive pressure.

"Aren't you afraid of hitting Zhao'er?"

"Stand up again if you are hit. If you get hit in the upper study room, I will help him up when you come back to Bihua Palace."

When the four companion candidates were finalized, Jiang Xian noticed that they were almost exactly the same as the ones she had selected at the beginning, except for one son from the collateral line of the Rong family who was picked out and did not stay with Zhao'er.

Concubine Rong's love and preferential treatment are still the same, but the Rong family may not be as trusted by the emperor as before.
-
On the first day when the two princes went to study in the upper study, Jiang Xian brought a box of snacks to visit, and even brought her younger brother Jiang Yanchuan along.

The younger brother, who was nearly [-] years apart in age, suppressed his excitement, kept the minimum etiquette, and ran up to her: "See Concubine Shu."

This is the elder sister that his parents told him every day!
In previous years at palace banquets, he could only see him from afar. He was a bit shy and did not dare to talk to his sister, but now it is easy to handle. He has become the companion of the prince's nephew, and there are many opportunities to see his sister.

Jiang Yanchuan was full of admiration for his sister because he heard his parents praise his sister since he was a child.

When he saw his sister dressed up at the palace banquet before, Jiang Yanchuan already felt that she was beautiful, so beautiful that she was not like a real person. He was very proud of having a fairy sister.But this time when they meet each other on a daily occasion, Jiang Xian only puts on a thin layer of makeup, which makes her look even more clear. When she sees her younger brother, she smiles softly, making Jiang Yanchuan, who is only six years old, a little heart pounding——

Damn, my sister is so beautiful.

He wanted to grow up to be a man who could protect his sister from wind and rain, just like Jiang Yi's elder brother.

"Thanks to my sister, everything is fine at home,"

Jiang Yanchuan's face was flushed with excitement. His appearance followed his father's. Jiang's father was also a fair and handsome literati when he was young. Jiang Xian looked down at him, as if seeing her own father looking at her with admiration... Don't Said, a little refreshed: "Ah, it should be called Concubine Shu, I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

According to Yan Chi's rules, the prince's companion does not have to call himself a slave like the eunuch.

Facing such a good boy, even Jiang Xian couldn't bear to criticize him harshly.

"You and I are brothers and sisters. What's wrong with calling me sister? I'll tell the emperor later that you are allowed to call me sister." She saw that Jiang Yanchuan had a special liking for the title of sister, so she let him call it that way. .

The other accompanying readers who also came from the official family saw this scene in their eyes, and immediately understood that Concubine Shu had a good relationship with the family. The rumors that she was treated harshly by her stepmother and did not like her half-brother were self-evident. break.

Xie Zhao on the side frowned when he heard the words.

Jiang Xian asked him what was wrong, and he said: "My son and Yan Chuan also hit it off very well, but if we call each other by relationship, wouldn't my son call him uncle?" oh!
"You call each other by your first name."

The imperial power is above everything else, even if the parents come, they have to kneel down and salute their daughters and grandchildren. In public, this bit of etiquette cannot be messed up.After being instructed by Jiang Xian, Xie Zhao suddenly realized, and his brows relaxed: "Yanchuan, let me tell you, the cooking skills of Aunt Mu in my palace are very good. You will know after tasting it. It is better than the dim sum in the dining room." Much smarter."

The pillow next to Jiang Xian handed over a box of fine food.

This food box was drawn by Jiang Xian and ordered to be custom-made by the people in the manufacturing office. There are heaven and earth inside.

After she handed over the food box to her son, she didn't stay long, and set aside time for him to get along with her companions - kissing with mother again, and having parents around would not help but feel constrained.

Sure enough, as soon as Concubine Shu left, the other three companions dared to surround her.

They really envied that Jiang Yanchuan had such a relationship, and even the concubine Shu specially prepared a snack for him, fearing that only the three of them would have endured the grievances and hardships of future generations of masters.

"Let me see what delicious food my concubine brought me..."

Xie Zhao opened the food box, which was divided into four layers.

There are two layers of fragrant snacks, and two layers of test papers drawn up by Jiang Xian, and the names of "Xie Zhao" and "Jiang Yanchuan" are written on them very thoughtfully.

Xie Zhao: "..."

Jiang Yanchuan: "..."

The other three accompanying readers suddenly became less envious of having a concubine.
