Fair Lady

When the Empress Dowager was feeling emotional, she didn't remember at all, or in other words, she never cared about it at all. In Prince Yong's residence, there was another girl named Qi Yuexin who was half a year old and about to turn 16, but hadn't made a marriage decision yet.

At this time, Qi Yuexin was acting like a baby to Concubine Zhao.Half a month ago, she went to Famen Temple to offer incense with her widowed cousin, Miss Zhao, and ran into Ruan Wenxin, the second place in this year's civil examination.Ruan Wenxin is suave and gentle, and Qi Yuexin is "astonishing as a heavenly man".

Later, Qi Yuexin and Ruan Wenxin met again with the help of Mrs. Zhao.Qi Yuexin was deeply moved by Ruan Wenxin. Ruan Wenxin was very talented, and because of the cold the day before the exam, he missed the membership and champion.

Ruan Wenxin said to Qi Yuexin with red eyes that he didn't feel much regret losing the champion, but not being able to marry Qi Yuexin was the biggest regret in his life.

Because Ruan Wenxin has a wife and a three-year-old daughter.Ruan Wenxin's wife, Zheng Shi, is the daughter of his teacher. When his teacher died of illness, Zheng was left alone, and Ruan Wenxin depended on Ruan Wenxin, saying that she was a teacher for one day and a father for life, and Ruan Wenxin had the responsibility to take care of her for her father.

Seeing that Mrs. Zheng was really lonely and helpless, Ruan Wenxin reluctantly married Mrs. Zheng in order to repay her teacher.

Unexpectedly, although Mrs. Zheng was born in a scholarly family, she was extremely vulgar, and she was obsessed with money every day. According to the fellow villagers, she did not obey women's morals and flirted with a man next door.

A while ago, Mrs. Zheng wrote to say that she would bring her daughter to Beijing to look for him, which made him very painful.He wanted to divorce his wife very much, but he couldn't bear it. After all, Mrs. Zheng was the only bone and blood left by his teacher, and they also had a daughter.

Furthermore.He is now the second place in high school and has entered the Hanlin Academy. He has a bright future in the future. If he divorces his wife now, he will definitely be called Chen Shimei.

Qi Yuexin sympathized with Ruan Wenxin very much, and was moved by his erudition and empathy, especially when Ruan Wenxin looked at her, the admiration and pampering in his eyes made her unable to extricate herself.

Qi Yuexin is also a girl with high vision, those idiots from aristocratic families can't catch her eyes, Ruan Wenxin is talented.It doesn't matter if they are tall, although they come from a poor family, their future is limitless. Who doesn't know that today's emperor and her emperor's uncle value talents from imperial examinations?Xia Shujie, the last civil and military double champion, also came from a poor family at first.

However, how could she be a concubine for the majestic eldest lady of Prince Yong's mansion?Even a flat wife is not allowed.

Cousin Xiao Zhao gave her an idea.If you can ask the Empress Dowager to give you a marriage, then it will be justifiable to demote the Zheng family as a concubine.Wouldn't it be enough to take care of Ruan Wenxin's daughter in the backyard in the future?It's just raising one more nanny, and it also shows Qi Yuexin's generosity, and also fulfills Ruan Wenxin's reputation, without affecting his brilliant future.

Concubine Zhao couldn't resist Qi Yuexin's entreaties, so she used the name of teaching Qi Haoxiang's studies.Ruan Wenxin was invited to the palace once.Seeing that Ruan Wenxin really has both talent and appearance, extraordinary bearing, and a sweet mouth.Much better than the young masters who are watching now.Concubine Zhao kept an eye out, and asked someone to inquire about it. I heard that Ruan Wenxin's performance in the Imperial Academy was also top-notch. Also, his wife, Zheng Shi, was indeed his teacher's daughter, and it was indeed when his teacher passed away. In that year, the hot filial piety got married.

Concubine Zhao made some calculations, and now Qi Yuexin really belongs to the category of being too high or too low.She will be 16 years old in a blink of an eye, and if she doesn't make a marriage, she, a mother, will almost have no face to go out to meet people.

Ruan Wenxin can be considered a good candidate.Going up by relying on Qi Yuexin again, why don't you hold Qi Yuexin in your hands in the future?Zhao side concubine is naturally more experienced than Qi Yuexin, and she can see farther than Qi Yuexin. She can ask the queen mother to marry her. Ruan Wenxin can not only demote his wife into a concubine with confidence, but this kind of great face will definitely help him in his future. The queen mother The grandson-in-law who personally bestowed the marriage, people always want to show some face, don't they?

The problem is, the three of them, mother and son, can't get into the eyes of the Queen Mother at all, and they can't even see the Queen Mother, so where can they go to propose marriage?

In the past, Qi Yuexin and her brother had to follow Qi Haoning if they wanted to see the Queen Mother.However, the current Qi Haoning has long been alienated from them, and is no longer the idiot boy who regarded them as his closest relatives.

"Mother, think of a way, mother is the smartest, Xin'er really doesn't like those idiots, and they are all born of concubine." Qi Yuexin took Concubine Zhao's hand and acted like a spoiled child.

A maid next to her lowered her head and curled her lips secretly. The eldest lady seemed to have forgotten that she was also a concubine, and Concubine Zhao was just a temporary housekeeper.

Concubine Zhao's mother and son have always been domineering and domineering in the mansion, as if this can dilute their status as "concubine" and "concubine".But they didn't know that a group of servants who were submissive and respectful in front of them scoffed at them behind their backs.

Ever since Qi Haoning distanced himself from them, the servants in the mansion's awe of them has also faded, most of them are just playing tricks, how many of them are loyal to them with all their heart and soul?After all, the side concubine is not a serious headed mistress, but just an aunt with a higher status.Besides, who doesn't know that the Empress Dowager doesn't like them?If people today don't even have this kind of vision, they don't know how they died.

Concubine Zhao was also stabbed by her own daughter's sentence "They are all from concubines", and a bit of bitterness flashed in her heart, she didn't want to be born from concubines, but Qi Yuexin was originally a concubine.

Originally, because she was in charge of the family, and Qi Haoning was close to them, and because of her status as a high-powered person in Prince Yong's residence, Qi Yuexin would have no problem marrying the eldest son of a family, but now...

That day, a handkerchief of hers, which had been away from Beijing for many years and followed her husband to work in other places, was handed over to the palace to see her. Only then did she know that there were rumors that the Queen Mother did not trust her, so she left Princess Yue to be raised in the Palace of Compassion. Ning Shizi's yard did not allow the three of them, the mother and the child, to enter or leave.

Although these are all facts, she was still so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. With these rumors, even those bastards would find it difficult to accept Qi Yuexin.

Qi Yuexin is not too stupid, she soon noticed that her mother's complexion had changed, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I am not interested in even those dandies, they only know how to spend time and money, and have nothing else. Mother, Mr. Ruan is a great talent He will definitely be able to make great achievements and help Xiang'er in the future, won't he? Mom, think of a way and let the second brother ask the emperor's grandmother to give us a marriage."

The mother and daughter were talking when Zhao's concubine's dowry mother, Zhao's mother, rushed in: "Master, the Shunzi father-in-law next to the empress dowager has come to deliver the decree. It is a marriage gift for the son and the girl of the Yongping Houfu. The master He is receiving orders in the front yard."

With a "bang", the teacup in Concubine Zhao's hand fell to the ground.The Empress Dowager is really quick to act. She has arranged for several months, but Qi Haoning has not entered the game, so the Empress Dowager gave him the marriage.Still a tough one.

The three brothers and sisters in the Yongping Hou Mansion were able to get rid of their support when they were still helpless orphans and ruin their uncles, uncles, and even the Murong Mansion. How could it be simple?

Back then, Xia Ruoxue, the second wife of Duke Anguo's mansion, was so beautiful and exquisite, but because of plotting against the three brothers and sisters, she ended up being reconciled and even expelled from the Xia family.It is said that Xia Shuyao is still a well-known person with deep fortune...

now.The Marquis of Yongping gained power even more.Xia Shuyao entered the door and became the concubine of the world. She is a serious mistress of the palace. How can she be a side concubine?

Concubine Zhao decided that the Queen Mother gave Xia Shuyao a marriage to Qi Haoning, simply to suppress and deal with her.

Qi Yuexin felt that her mother was making too much of a fuss, a wild girl from the market.What can you do?It's just that life is better, and then there is a powerful big brother.But no matter how powerful her elder brother and adoptive father are.Can you still meddle in the housework of Prince Yong's Mansion?As long as you eat and drink for her, it's okay to treat her badly, isn't it?

Concubine Zhao smiled wryly, if she were Princess Yong now, she would be able to say anything.Whether it's the stepmother or the side concubine Fuzheng, they are all Qi Haoning's aunts, and they still have a place to speak.It can also justifiably make trouble for a new daughter-in-law.

But now... she's just... a concubine, and she's still not favored by the prince.The concubine who was suppressed by the queen mother.

If the previous Qi Haoning would still help her, maybe she could use some tricks or something, but the current Qi Haoning would only let Xia Shuyao be careful to guard against her, right?

Moreover, there is a shrewd Xia Shuyao, Qi Haoning is even more difficult to calculate.

Qi Yuexin was still disdainful: "How does she know so much as a market girl? At that time, mother, you can just carry it. Give her a blow first, and she won't dare to say anything."

Concubine Zhao sighed: "What do you know? The nurturing mother next to Xia Shuyao is a nunnery from Kunning Palace. She was raised by that nun since she was six years old. She doesn't know what you know? Even if she doesn't know, does that palace nurse look good there?"

Qi Yuexin blushed and shut up now, what Xia Shuyao is really not an ordinary good life, palace nurse?She, Prince Yong's eldest daughter, doesn't even have one.

Zhao's mother comforted: "Master, don't panic. Miss Xia in Yongping Hou's Mansion is only 13 years old. It takes two years to get married. In two years, is it true that the son of the world is not close to women? The cousins ​​are still Great chance."

Concubine Zhao's eyes lit up, yes, she was too pessimistic, many things could happen in two years, maybe a concubine would come out first, then Xia Shuyao would be crushed before entering the door, let's see what momentum she has?

"Go, go and congratulate your elder brother." Concubine Zhao stood up, now that Qi Yuexin's marriage still requires Qi Haoning, she has to please first.

Zhao's mother hurriedly stopped her: "Master, you...you forgot that there is no special reason for the rules set by the prince. The concubine and concubine's children in the palace cannot go to the front yard to participate in receiving the imperial edict and Yi's edict."

The special reason is that the imperial decree or Yi decree passed down is for a certain concubine or concubine's children, or it is related to every master in the palace.

Concubine Zhao was dizzy for a while, and her body swayed. She has been in charge of Zhongfu for so many years, and she has become accustomed to treating herself as the head of the palace.Moreover, the palace has not accepted the decree for many years, and there is also an oral order from the empress dowager, whether it is a contract of sale, or setting such and such rules for Zhiyuanyuan, all of which are used to restrain and suppress her.
