Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 409: Making the Decision (Part )
Concubine Ru felt upset when she heard this name.

Her scarlet lips pulled out a hint of sneer, and her originally beautiful eyebrows and eyes showed a bit of coldness and sharpness because of the mockery.

"How can I be compared with you, just an orphan girl?"

Concubine Ru really looked down on Ye Chutang.

Normally, when there were outsiders around, she would pretend, but now that there was no one else here, she was too lazy to pretend.

Xiao Lanxi seemed stunned.

"But... isn't it said that Miss Ye Er is a skilled doctor and has a thriving business? Although my daughter has not been back in Beijing for long, I always hear people mention her. They all praise and admire Miss Ye Er. Even if you look at the entire capital, there are probably not many women who can be compared with her."

"She has some skills, but so what?"

Like the lazy look of the imperial concubine,
"Both her father and brother are dead, and she still has several younger brothers and sisters to take care of. She is really a burden. Only the eldest princess gave her face, so she can have a place in the capital."

Everyone knows that the eldest princess values ​​and likes Ye Chutang very much. With such a backer, who wouldn't give Ye Chutang some face?
But what you think in your heart is another matter.

"She has no roots or support, she is just a floating duckweed. Which noble family would be willing to marry such a woman?"

Xiao Lanxi paused and lowered her voice slightly: "...Come to think of it, her two younger brothers seem to be extraordinary as well?"

Like the imperial concubine sneered.

"They are just two young boys. What can they do?"

Even if they can make a name for themselves through studying in the future, it is unknown when that will happen. By then, can Ye Chutang afford to delay?

Besides, being good at studying does not necessarily mean that you will be successful.

Their father was born in the imperial examination system and had a smooth journey, but didn't he end up dying in vain? For example, the imperial concubine was born into a noble family with a deep family background, so she naturally would not take these lowly people seriously.

When Xiao Lanxi heard this, she lowered her eyes slightly, as if in deep thought.

Concubine Ru looked at her exquisite nail polish that she had just dyed not long ago, and a hint of mocking smile appeared on her red lips.

"She is indeed famous in the capital. Now, wherever she goes, with the Princess's Mansion behind her, she can be treated with some courtesy. But do you think there is any family willing to come and propose marriage?"

Xiao Lanxi silently tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

What the imperial concubine said is not without reason.

Who in the entire capital has not heard of Ye Chutang's name? Who doesn't know that she has been in constant turmoil and trouble since she returned to Beijing?
Even those who had originally thought about it are probably now wavering and hesitant.

——Beauty is beautiful, but you have to have the blessing to enjoy it!
I guess most people would choose to stay away from it.

Can……

A cold face flashed through Xiao Lanxi's mind.

What is he thinking?

Imperial Concubine Ru did not notice her emotion at this moment. She thought about the time she tested His Majesty in the hunting ground before, and thought about it carefully for a while before saying:
"Forget about the Xie family, they are not a good match. There are many good men in the capital. If your father loves you more, he will definitely find you a good marriage."

If it were in the past, Concubine Ru would not have said this, but after a few years of separation, Xiao Lanxi has grown into a graceful and elegant young lady, well-behaved and sensible, and His Majesty obviously likes her more than before.

If this continues, it would be best to choose someone who can help Cheng Xuan.

Xiao Lanxi's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded slightly and smiled obediently:
"It's up to mother to decide."
