Lady Changning

Chapter 111
"Changning is not as beautiful as Shang Niangniang, not to mention, it is a great honor to be married to the prince this time, how can he serve the emperor? Niangniang and the emperor are a match made in heaven."

Xi Changning's flattery is very obvious, even Xi Hanxue frowned, thinking that this is not like Xi Changning's style, but it seems to be very useful to Concubine Zhao, at this moment, she really thinks that Xi Changning is just a 15-year-old girl How can it be as terrifying as the queen mother said, isn't it still necessary to fear her favor and flatter?
"Where is it? The emperor just loves me more."

Concubine Zhao's eyes had smile lines, she didn't know if she really thought Xi Changning's words were correct or just pretending?It was difficult for Xi Changning to tell the truth from the fake for a while, mainly because he had no contact with Concubine Zhao Gui.

"My lady, don't blame Chang Ning for being bold. Is this Concubine Hui similar to Chang Ning? The emperor once said so."

At this point, Xi Changning took a painful look at the prince, and he actually pinched her under the table. Obviously, such a taboo as Concubine Hui cannot be said.But Xi Changning has already asked, so he must find a way to clarify this matter.

Zhao Guifei also twitched the corners of her eyes because of this sentence, and put on a smile all over her face at random.

"Where does it look like? It doesn't look like it at all."

Even if it's similar, she wouldn't say it, that bitch Gu Hongyi rarely sees a beauty, and now she says that she seems to say that she can't compare with Xi Changning, Xi Changning has nothing to do with it other than being young and beautiful.

"Then how did Concubine Hui die?"

All of a sudden the dinner table fell silent because of this sentence, the most obvious one was Concubine Zhao, her chopsticks fell to the ground, followed by the prince whose hand was still beside Xi Changning's leg, trying to stop Xi Changning from asking any further questions. But Xi Changning still asked, so his hand paused in mid-air for a while.

It seems that Zhao Guifei really knows something, but how should she speak?

"It turns out that the imperial concubine doesn't know? That's fine, I'm just curious."

Xi Changning was afraid that the atmosphere would turn bad because of this sentence, so he immediately changed the subject with his innocent eyes wide open, and everyone gave a sigh of relief.But Xi Changning was still thinking about how to get Concubine Zhao to say something. The future will be long, so it's not too deliberate now.

"Changning, you should change your temper." The prince said dotingly, turning the conversation around.

"The prince really loves Changning." Concubine Zhao glanced at Xi Hanxue as if she hadn't seen it when she said this.

Look, I really don't know why the Queen Mother likes Xi Hanxue, is it just a face?It turned out that Xi Changning had seized the opportunity, and was actually not as good as his sister.

Xi Hanxue naturally knew the meaning of Concubine Zhao Gui's eyes, but now that Concubine Zhao Gui is underestimating the enemy, when Concubine Zhao suffers herself, she will know why she is holding back?Even the Empress Dowager was deceived by Xi Changning's innocent face at the beginning, and said once, I really don't know how dare Concubine Zhao forget the Empress Dowager's words and underestimate the enemy like this.

"Changning is interesting and naturally doted on, but Hanxue is also virtuous."

As he said that, the prince picked up a chopstick dish for Xi Hanxue.

Xi Hanxue was overwhelmed by flattery, originally thought that the crown prince was all about Xi Changning, and it would take a while to get the king's heart.Unexpectedly, the prince still has her in his heart. He must be confused by her beauty. After all, a hero is sad for a beauty. How can there be a man who does not love a beauty?But she must not be overly happy and obvious, otherwise her plan will be ruined.

"Hanxue thanked the prince." Every word she said was carefully thought out, just because she was afraid that Xi Changning would catch something.

Concubine Zhao was puzzled, but the upright prince was newly married, so it was meaningless to say something.It would be best for Xi Hanxue to be favored, so that the Zhao family will be a first-class dignitary no matter now or in the future.

As for Xi Changning, although there is some discrepancy with what the queen mother said, she is not stupid. She has been in the palace for so long, what hasn't she seen?If those words and actions just now were fake, then Xi Changning was too thoughtful, and it would be a disaster to keep such a person by his side.

East Palace · Side Hall
Xi Hanxue was still thinking about how the prince treated her well during the day, so she was naturally happy as a woman.When she came back, she specially asked the maid to dress herself up again, and cleaned the bedroom again.She felt that the prince would definitely come to her place to spend the night.

But after waiting for a long time, the prince did not come, and the people who sent out also said that the prince was not there with Xi Changning. Where did the prince go?
"Your Majesty, the crown prince has returned to the East Palace." Yue Lan, who had been inquiring about the news, said back.

Xi Hanxue immediately got up and straightened the skirt on her body, and asked Mei Lan again, and she was sure that she was the most beautiful before she was relieved.

"Your Majesty looks beautiful in everything she wears? She can't even compare to the flowers outside." Mei Lan was the best at talking, and compliments like this came at her fingertips.

"It's you who can talk. If the prince stays overnight, you will be indispensable." Xi Hanxue was naturally happy to hear other people's praise, and she felt that the prince would come back, and her face flushed.

Xi Hanxue walked to the entrance of the hall with her skirt in her hand, wishing she could stand on her tiptoes to see where the prince had gone.Thinking that girls should be more reserved, she straightened her bun and dress and stood aside gently.

But a basin of cold water extinguished all her thoughts.

"Your Majesty, the prince...the prince has gone to the concubine's place." Yue Lan said in a very low voice.

Is it because I dare not pour cold water on Xi Hanxue when she is so interested, but it is the truth.

"What did you say?"

Impossible, how could someone like Xi Changning attract the prince?Last night, because she was the concubine and broke the rules, she endured the indifference of being alone in the new house.But why now?The prince is obviously interested in her, why did he go to Xi Changning's room?The prince must have changed his mind because Xi Changning must have used some means.

"Go and show me why the prince is going to Xi Changning's place."

Yue Lan was afraid that Xi Hanxue would blame her, so she nodded her head several times, yes, yes.Mei Lan secretly sighed in her heart, fearing that their lives would not be easy today.

The prince naturally chose Xi Changning and ignored Xi Hanxue. It wasn't that he didn't know how to balance, but just thinking about living with a poisonous snake made him feel uncomfortable.What's more, he is still thinking about Ziyu, but only Xi Changning knows about it.

The crown prince saw Xi Changning sitting at the table eating, and there was a set of tableware on the opposite side. Obviously she knew that he would come to her to spend the night, and Xi Changning couldn't hide anything.

"What are you eating?" The prince sat down and took the chopsticks.

"It's just home-cooked food, but it's not as rich as my sister prepared for the prince."

After returning from Concubine Zhao, Xi Hanxue began to prepare to welcome the prince, but she just wanted to make Xi Hanxue's hopes come to naught, watching her rot in this palace, to see if she still thinks this place is so magnificent?Let her keep her proud beauty alone and grow old in this cage that she personally built for her.

cruel?No, compared to the pain of taking her husband and killing her son in her previous life, how could it be cruel to let her be so comfortable?All this is just the beginning, what Xi Hanxue wants, as long as she is with Xi Changning, she can't get anything.

"You know this, it seems that my life will be difficult in the future." The prince smiled cynically, really heartless.

"I want to live a good life and go to the side hall." There are good wine and food, and there are beauties to accompany.

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll really think you're jealous."

The prince didn't care about Xi Changning's words and he was still very happy, because he knew that Xi Changning didn't have any love for him at all, so he couldn't even talk about jealousy, but being able to tease her also made him feel refreshed.

After the meal, the prince dismissed everyone, Xi Changning did not stop, because she knew that the prince must have something to say to her, and it must have a great relationship with Ziyu.

"Changning, I don't want to talk too much. But can you tell me where Ziyu is now?"

"Have a cup of tea."

This night is still very long, so you can speak slowly.

"Prince, I'll tell you the truth. I won't tell you now. It's not because I want to threaten you. Besides, you are always calm and easy to act impulsively on Ziyu. Tell you that there will be no good results."

Exposing Ziyu early will cause problems. Now the palace Xi Changning has not figured it out. Ziyu's identity is so embarrassing. Tell the prince that the prince will be eager to find Ziyu. I don't know if the prince is in danger, Ziyu will also be in danger .

The answer the prince got was not much different from what he thought, so he stopped asking.Anyway, now he understands that Xi Changning will not harm Ziyu.

"Changning has one more thing I must say to you. Why did you favor Concubine Zhao in front of Concubine Zhao?"

This is a taboo, people have been dead for so long, and it is of little use to mention it again.

"Then can you tell me how Concubine Hui died?"

"I do not know."

The answer is so straightforward, and you still say you don’t know?Do you really think her Xi Changning is stupid?

"Why are you holding on to Concubine Hui? Because of Zi Mian?" This is what the Crown Prince wanted to ask. That day Xi Changning was injured and Zi Mian took care of him. Only they know what happened between them. up.

Xi Changning's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the splashed tea scalded her fingers, and her fingers connected to her heart, which is why her heart hurts so much.

"Chang Ning, I don't want to hurt you. You are already husband and wife, so you and Zi Mian had better not have any contact."

This palace owes too much to Huangfu Zimian, he can come and go freely in the palace, because the emperor feels that he owes him too much.

"How could I have any contact with him?"

Now that it is a foregone conclusion and there is no turning back, what else can be said?
"Then you must not mention Concubine Hui in the palace from now on." The prince instructed.

But he was still uneasy, Xi Changning would never give up until he figured things out.I'd better watch her more in the future, so that nothing happens.
