Chapter 8 The Concubine Room
Inn.

Xie Ning and Xu Yinghuai traveled all day and barely found a place to stay.

Xie Ning did a simple cleaning.

Looking at the simple house, I still feel a little disgusted.

The inns here are simply not as luxurious and comfortable as those in Shengjing City.

They traveled secretly and could not stay at the official inn.

"Brother Huai, what did the letter say?"

Xie Ning looked at Xu Yinghuai, who had been frowning since he received the letter, and asked.

Xu Yinghuai said in a deep voice: "We have to return to Shengjing."

Xie Ning was a little happy.

"Is it possible that there are some new assignments in the court?"

Although they will not really go to the frontier, but to the south of the Yangtze River where it is warm and comfortable all year round, and they will not suffer, they are far away from Shengjing after all. What if the saint cannot remember them and cannot return to Shengjing for decades?
She went to Jiangnan, but Xie Lingyu enjoyed happiness in Shengjing.

Xie Ning went crazy with jealousy.

And her children are both in Shengjing!

Brother Qi is only three or four years old. What if she is really seduced by Xie Lingyu and takes her as her mother? What will she do in the future?
Xie Ning raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yinghuai.

She knew that the pair of children were her capital to gain a foothold in the Xuanwu Hou Mansion, and the prince's love was nothing more than embellishment.

Xu Yinghuai slammed the letter onto the table and made a sound.

"Damn it, Xie Lingyu, don't you even think about adopting an adopted child?"

"How about that?!"

Xie Ning screamed and stood up suddenly.

Seeing Xu Yinghuai looking up at her, Xie Ning quickly calmed her expression, walked over tenderly, and pressed Xu Yinghuai's shoulders.

"Is it possible that Xie Lingyu knows Brother Qi's identity?"

"impossible!"

Xu Yinghuai categorically rejected it.

The identity he created for the child was so realistic that even if Xie Lingyu went to check it, he couldn't find any flaws.

According to what was said in the letter, it was probably because the mother was too impatient and made Xie Lingyu irritable, so she appointed a child who served tea and water as his legitimate son.

How could a mere tea and water server deserve to be his legitimate son?

Xu Yinghuai was a little angry.

Even my mother can mess up such a trivial matter. No wonder my father preferred concubines when he was here and didn't like my mother at all.

And that Xie Lingyu is really troubled.

"I can't rush back to Beijing. After all, others think I am heading to the border. Just stay here and wait for me to take care of things before returning to Beijing."

Xie Ning moved his hand and touched Xu Yinghuai's chest.

"Brother Huai, Brother Qi is our eldest son, but he cannot become a bastard. That will be an obstacle to his future career. Even if Brother Qi cannot call me mother upright, I feel aggrieved. As long as he is good, I can bear it. ."

There was a smile on Xu Yinghuai's delicate face, and she held Xie Ning's hand tenderly, with affection in her eyes.

"Ning'er knows the general picture."

"I know that concubines are not allowed in your family. When the Hou Mansion gets through the difficulties, I will divorce Xie Lingyu and marry you. But now I still have to wrong you."

Xie Ning leaned forward and leaned into Xu Yinghuai's arms.

When she heard his words, she had joy in her eyes and still spoke softly.

"As long as I can be with Brother Huai, Ning'er doesn't care about his status."

With the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms, Xu Yinghuai would naturally not be restrained.

Not long after, the two of them fell on the bed.

Xie Ning felt proud as she looked at the man sweating on her body.

Xie Lingyu, so what if you have a distinguished status?Aren’t you unable to keep men?
……

Just returned to Xuanwuhou Mansion.

After traveling for days, everyone returned to their own courtyard to bathe and rest.

Xu Jiaxu and Xu Jiaqi both temporarily lived in the front yard. Xu Muhuan felt more sorry for her because of what happened in the morning. There happened to be an empty room next to Xu Zhizhi's house, so Xu Muhuan was allowed to live in it. "Madam, Madam Hou sent a few maids over, saying that they used to serve the prince, and asked you to choose a few who are close to you and serve them in the courtyard."

Xie Lingyu was taking off the hairpins on her head when Taoyue led a row of maids into the courtyard.

Knowing that no one outside could hear her, Taoyue was a little angry: "Isn't Mrs. Hou openly putting spies in your courtyard?"

Xie Lingyu changed out of her clothes and into simple clothes.

"You also know that she is obvious, so she can't be called an eyeliner."

"If it's not eyeliner, it could still be..."

Taoyue paused mid-sentence.

Xie Lingyu nodded, "She is asking me to choose a concubine for the prince!"

These people sent over by the Song family were all people who had served Xu Yinghuai in his yard since childhood. They were childhood sweethearts with Xu Yinghuai.

Several of them later became Xu Yinghuai's serious concubines and gave birth to children.

The rest have basically become common rooms.

"It's too much. How could Madam Hou do this! Madam, you have just married into the Hou Mansion, and she will be given away as a concubine. In two years, wouldn't it be..."

Taoyue looked angry.

She had just praised that all the maids in the Hou Mansion were good-looking.

Love is not here to be a serious maid.

He Yue helped Xie Lingyu change clothes, frowning and said, "Then if these people stay in the courtyard, there is no guarantee that they won't have other thoughts, which will be detrimental to Madam."

"So, you have to pick some smart ones."

Xie Lingyu dusted his sleeves and smiled lightly, "Let's go, follow me out for a look."

As soon as Nian Xia stepped into Zhilan Courtyard, her heart beat like a drum.

They all know that if they are chosen by the madam, they will become concubines when the prince comes back.

Although she has no feelings for the prince, if she can become a concubine, her child will no longer be a slave. If she studies hard in the future, if she gets a part-time official position, she may be able to go out and open a mansion by herself, and then take her out. Live, this is Nian Xia's only wish now.

She hasn't met Madam yet, but she heard that she is our legitimate daughter, so she should be tolerant.

She only wanted a stable life, and she never wanted to compete with her wife for favor.

Most of the other people around me think the same way, and of course there are also some who don't take it seriously and rely on their beauty.

Caixuan flicked her nails that were dyed with kodan, not caring.

Seeing those people around her looking forward to it, she was even more disdainful.

What is the use of longing to be chosen by the lady?It would be really good to be favored by the prince.

She is beautiful and has been serving the Crown Prince since she was a child. She has been close to the Crown Prince for a long time.

The prince promised her that when he returns to Beijing, he will take her as his concubine.

When the time comes, with her beauty, it will not be difficult to seduce the prince. If she can have more children, it will not be a bad idea to be promoted as an equal wife!

Caixuan's father was the housekeeper of Zhuangzi under the Marquis Mansion, and her mother was the former oiran of Xiuxiang Tower. She only married her father when she was old and lustful.

Caixuan was raised by her mother using the secret method in the flower house since she was a child. She has a beautiful appearance and enchanting figure. Although vulgar, she is very attractive.

Her father was also a clever man. When he saw that his daughter was growing well, he found a way to sneak her into the prince's yard.

Living up to the planning of several people, the prince's first love affair was with Caixuan.

Caixuan should have been taken as a concubine long ago, but because the prince was engaged to a girl from the Xie family, the Hou family had some scruples. In addition, the old lady was strict, so the prince and the Song family did not dare to mention it.

Because of this incident, Caixuan still felt a little resentful towards Xie Lingyu.

There was a sound of pushing the door open, and Xie Lingyu walked out of the room slowly.

Caixuan looked up.

"Crack-"

Kou Danhong's nails were torn off by Caixuan.

How can it be?

How could the lady be so graceful and graceful?
Isn't it a shameless woman who only knows how to manage the family, so that the prince can't bear it, and leaves the capital in a hurry just after getting married?
