Lady Changning

Chapter 149 The sought-after Helian Bao (1)

As the day when Xi Lin and Princess Jing got married was getting closer and closer, Xi Lin felt more and more difficult in his heart. In the end, he couldn't bear the suffering in his heart and found Xi Jian.

As a father, this matter should tell him that he can marry Princess Jing but he must also take Nahe Lianbao as his concubine.

Xi Jian originally thought that taking a concubine could be done slowly, but when he heard that the concubine was actually He Lianbao, he felt very unhappy. He Lianbao was from Xi Changning.

If Nahe Lianbao is a concubine, it is equivalent to putting an eyeliner by his side, and Xi Changning will still observe their every move.

I am ashamed to say that, as Xi Changning's father, in the end he is the one who is afraid of him.So Xi Jian was extremely unwilling and refused to say anything.

Xi Lin, who didn't hold his breath for a while, would not marry Princess Jing even if he said anything, even if he disobeyed the imperial decree.

Because Xi Lin's words angered not only Xi Jian, but also the Queen Mother.The queen mother likes the obedient and obedient Princess Jing in her heart, and she thinks that the Xi family took advantage of it, and now she has to negotiate terms.

This place is thinking of marrying a concubine before entering the house, and it's Xi Changning's maid who she doesn't like. How can a maid be compared to a dignified princess.

Xi Lin's stubborn temper also came up. The queen mother arranged for Xi Lin to meet Princess Jing several times, but Xi Lin wasted it.

Xi Lin couldn't escape the pain of flesh and blood, and his family law took care of him.

The Queen Mother naturally focused on He Lianbao, she would never wrong the people around her, and Princess Jing was also a descendant of the Zhao family, how could a maid declare her troops to seize the master.

Princess Jing is not good at these intrigues, so she, the Queen Mother, will take the lead.Anyway, now that the prince is dead, Xi Changning is just an empty shell of the princess, even the queen is too busy protecting her grandson to take care of her.

The queen mother came to Xi Jian to discuss, and the two had reached an agreement on this aspect, saying that He Lianbao should not be allowed to appear beside Xi Lin.

He Lianbao didn't even know why she became so popular, that large group of people came to arrest her.Counting back and forth, there are more than a dozen people.

"Elder-in-law, how can I, Bao'er, be able to do this?"

"You girl, the master has let your temper go for a long time, it's really unruly."

That father-in-law obviously didn't like He Lianbao's fearless appearance. The reason why the queen mother asked him to bring so many people was to give Xi Changning a bad impression.

Who knew that even a court lady is not afraid, is it like this after following Xi Changning for a long time?
"Bao'er, my father-in-law also made such a trip, please come in first."

When Xi Changning heard movement outside, she didn't even lift the curtain, mainly because it was too cold, and her best plan was to stay by the brazier for a day.

He Lianbao lifted the curtain and made a gesture of invitation. There was no fear of the sudden change in his eyes, let alone Xi Changning who was downplaying the matter in the room, which made the father-in-law feel a little uneasy.

The father-in-law glanced at the people behind him and signaled them to wait for him outside, then pulled up his robe and entered the house. Although the house was much warmer than the outside, seeing Xi Changning's face made him feel cold in his heart.

"The servant greets the crown princess and empress."

"My father-in-law is really giving me face, I thought you all died as I was."

Xi Changning's words were straightforward, in order to let the Queen Mother feel that she was not easy to bully.

When the father-in-law heard this, he immediately knelt down, bowed his head, and did not dare to speak nonsense.Although the crown prince is dead, and now the palace has been fighting for the position of crown prince for a long time, Xi Changning's status does not seem to have been shaken, and he is still the crown princess.No one knows what she will be in the future.

"How dare a slave, the empress is the master, we dare not offend you by saying anything? It's just that the slave also obeys orders and has no choice but to do so."

In the end, the father-in-law had to move the empress dowager out. After all, he was following orders and there was no need to offend the master.

"I don't know what the empress dowager wants the father-in-law to do?"

The father-in-law looked up at He Lianbao, but He Lianbao stared back abruptly.

"The Queen Mother just wants to have a few words with Miss Bao'er."

Say a few words?Is it too subtle to say this? The Queen Mother obviously came here to give Helian Bao rules because Xi Lin wanted to take Helian Bao as his concubine.

If Xi Changning used to be not afraid, but now she has too many connections with Hu Cheng, and according to Xi Lin, the queen mother and Xi Jian have both investigated her and Hu Cheng, if He Lianbao is taken away by the queen mother, no one will Not sure what to expect.

And the queen mother is cruel, she can't let He Lianbao just follow the queen mother's people.

"Bao'er is a member of my palace. If the Queen Mother is looking for Bao'er, I should naturally accompany her."

The father-in-law heard Xi Changning's reluctance, she seemed unwilling to let Xi Changning go with them, even if he wanted to take He Lianbao, Xi Changning would go with them.Doesn't this embarrass him?
"Princess Concubine, don't make things difficult for the slaves. The Queen Mother has sent so many people, so naturally she must take Miss Bao'er away."

The father-in-law was in a dilemma and could only take advantage of the large number of people. The queen mother also thought about this, Xi Changning would not let him take away Helianbao so easily in defense of Helianbao.

"Bao'er, see off the guests."

Xi Changning was not afraid of the Queen Mother's power, she played with the hand warmer in her hand and asked He Lianbao to see off the guests.The father-in-law kept kneeling on the ground and did not get up, his eyeballs rolled slyly, seeing that Xi Changning was about to chase someone away, but he didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, do you want the Empress Dowager to go there in person? At that time, I don't know if I can treat Miss Bao'er so courteously."

"Elder-in-law, do you really think I was scared by this palace? Or are you underestimating this palace too much. Think about it carefully, why did the queen mother let you bring so many people here? Is this palace really easy to bully?"

Isn't the queen mother asking him to bring so many people to use force?Now that she told her the truth, he didn't dare to force Bao'er too openly.

"Father-in-law, Bao'er is not afraid to remind you, some things are not yet a foregone conclusion, go back and persuade your master, don't do everything."

He Lianbao went up to the father-in-law's side, squatted down and said a word to the father-in-law.

Xi Changning intends to help the third prince, and the queen mother also helps the third prince, but the third prince is not stupid, even if he thinks that Xi Changning is unreliable, then he will never think that the queen mother is a reliable person.

"The servant interrupted, and the servant will definitely convey it truthfully."

The father-in-law is also a sensible person, saying that it is obvious that He Lianbao cannot move, and she is protected by Xi Changning. As for who is behind Xi Changning, it is complicated.

"Then go slowly, father-in-law."

The father-in-law sent by the Empress Dowager almost left the East Palace, and Xi Changning stood up on the back, forgetting to put on his cloak, and dragged He Lianbao to run.

Xi Changning is in a mess now, apparently the reason for this situation is that Xi Lin did not hold his breath, the always prudent Xi Lin was so impulsive for He Lianbao, the traditional indoctrination of abandoning children's personal relationships for honor and disgrace seems to be of no use at all.

She also doesn't know what will happen to Xi Lin and He Lianbao now, and what's even more worrying is that she may not even be able to keep He Lianbao.

Xi Jian teamed up with the queen mother. The queen can't let go of Xi Changning because of the matter of Concubine Hui and the prince. As for Concubine Hui, her heart is even more difficult to guess.After all the calculations, since she wanted to gamble, she might as well bet a little bigger.

"Changning, where are you taking me?"

He Lianbao was dragged to run by Xi Changning. He had never seen such a flustered Xi Changning.

"Save your life."

He Lianbao never thought that Xi Changning would bring her to the Palace of the Three Princes.

Palace of the Three Princes
At this time, the third prince happened to be away, and by such a coincidence, he met his enemy, Xi Lingyan.It was really embarrassing for these two people to meet face to face.

"It's you?"

Xi Lingyan was holding the child in her hands, and when she saw Xi Changning, she felt that there must be something wrong. Now that the third prince's plan is going smoothly, nothing can happen at this time.

She handed the child to the maids beside her, and found a reason for them all to go down, and faced Xi Changning alone.

"Is the third prince here?"

As expected, Xi Lingyan was very vigilant because of Xi Changning's sudden appearance. Xi Changning laughed in his heart, why didn't he realize that the second sister was more thoughtful than the elder sister Xi Hanxue before, no wonder the queen mother uses her so much now, and even let her husband sit on the crown prince.

"No."

What Xi Lingyan is most afraid of is that Xi Changning will find the third prince, because she knows the third prince's feelings for Xi Changning in her heart.

"Then I'll just sit and wait."

She holds Helian Bao's life in her hands now, if the queen mother knows that she is obstructing her in every possible way, she will definitely come to arrest Helianbao herself, and then even the title of princess will not be useful, because the current Xi Changning is a few catties and a few taels The mother couldn't understand it any more.

Originally wanted to rely on Xi Lin to get out of trouble, but Xi Lin actually put her and He Lianbao in a desperate situation. Now Xi Lin must be imprisoned by Xi Jian.

Xi Lingyan was very curious about why Xi Changning was looking for the third prince. Judging by her expression, it seemed very important.Now her status is still under Xi Changning, so she won't say anything that offends her, so she sits beside her and waits with her, and observes why Xi Changning is looking for the third prince.

I don't know who started it, but it talked about the third aunt and fifth aunt in Xiang's mansion. During that time, they supported each other against the eldest lady, but now they are on different positions.

"Changning, did you ever hate me?"

Xi Lingyan's heart softened, and she asked this question unconsciously.

Xi Changning gave her a strange look, and didn't answer, saying that it was a lie that she didn't hate, but she was responsible for all this.If it wasn't for Xi Lingyan's begging and begging for a moment of soft-heartedness, I wouldn't have had an enemy to fight against.On the other hand, there was a sense of fate and helplessness, because she couldn't shut Xi Lingyan's heart for the third prince.

"You don't have to talk to me, I have something to discuss with the third prince."

In Xi Changning's words, it's not difficult to hear the disgust towards Xi Lingyan. This kind of disgust even broke her own calmness. She said it so straightforwardly and clearly, even she herself felt it.
