Lady Changning

Chapter 92 Concubine Selection Ceremony (2)

"I don't know how the empress dowager decides? Besides, the eldest sister is also a concubine."

Xi Hanxue was suffocating. Although she was adopted by the eldest lady, she was indeed a concubine, but she had always been self-proclaimed, and with the support of the eldest lady, she felt that her status as a concubine was no longer that important.

The queen mother glanced at the emperor and turned her face away. She is no longer willing to care about this matter. Everyone has wounds. There are so many scars in the queen mother's heart. what happened.

"Then choose according to the crown prince and the third prince. As for Xi Hanxue and Jiang Miaoer, they are also good girls with many talents. It is their blessing to be able to promise the prince and the third prince, so I will be concubine."

As soon as the emperor's words came out, all the ministers knelt down to pay homage, and Xi Hanxue knelt unwillingly among the show girls. They were all concubines, but the main concubine and side concubine were quite different.At least in terms of identity, it is visible.

Since Xi Changning is still a few months away from reaching Ji, she can only make an engagement with the crown prince first, and then get married as soon as she reaches Ji, and the concubine has not entered the door, so of course the side concubine can only wait.As for the third prince, since Du Xi Lingyan and Jiang Miaoer are both old enough, the date of the wedding was also set by Qin Tianjian. It was exactly one month later that Xi Lingyan entered the hall of the third prince through the main entrance, while the side concubine Jiang Miaoer could only enter through the side entrance. Enter.

Tayue Pavilion

The third aunt carried the youngest young master of the Xi mansion, Xi Qiong, and Xi Lingyan quickly entered.

"Changning, San Yiniang really thank you." San Yiniang was very excited.

If Xi Changning hadn't asked the crown prince to add Xi Lingyan to the roster of beautiful girls, Xi Lingyan would really have to be arranged by Xi Jian to marry someone else to fill in the house. How could she become the third prince's concubine now? This is unexpected.

"Changning, Second Sister thanked you too." Xi Lingyan had tears in his eyes.

"Second sister, the imperial palace is dangerous. If you can sit on the imperial concubine, someone will try to snatch it. Don't blame Changning for disappointment. Jiang Miaoer has always been arrogant and unreasonable. My sister can only rely on this if she wants to restrain her." Xi Changning Pointing to the head.

Xi Lingyan was cowardly and incompetent in the past, and later she was favored by the third aunt. Xi Changning can see her change, and she also has a clever and cruel side in her heart.

"Second Sister Changning naturally understands."

Just after getting married that day, Jiang Miao'er pulled her aside and babbled outrageously.Look at her low-minded look, if Xi Lingyan hadn't held back, most people would have gone up to tear their faces.

The third aunt and Xi Lingyan thanked each other and chatted for a few words before leaving. The main reason was that everyone was a little caught off guard by Xi Lingyan's marriage. They really didn't expect that the second lady, who had always been quiet, would fall in love with the third prince.

"Mingyu, Bao'er, prepare for me to enter the palace."

Xi Changning spoke in a hurry, even He Lianbao and Mingyu were shocked by her abnormality.The reason why Xi Changning did this was because the crown prince sent someone to deliver a letter a little while ago, and if he wanted to see her, the one who should come would still come.

Palace of the Three Princes
As if awakened from a dream, the third prince was sitting on the soft seat, the folding fan in his hand had already been torn apart and lying on the ground.Yan Xiufeng stayed quietly beside the third prince and didn't dare to say a word.

I don’t know if the Three Emperors were acting out of anger. It was not complicated to choose Jiang Miao’er according to the original plan, but the Third Prince chose Xi Lingyan, the second lady of the Xi Mansion who is close to Xi Changning. What can the lady do?
"Third Prince, how should I explain today's matter to Jiang Shangshu?"

"Confess? Explain why he agreed to the queen mother to place his daughter by my side?" The frosty voice revealed murderous intent.

Negotiating conditions with Jiang Shangshu was just a tactic to delay the attack. He had long thought that Jiang Shangshu would not only please the queen mother but also not offend him. After all, the possibility of his daughter and the queen mother's confidant Xi Hanxue running for the crown prince was too small.

"Since that's the case, why choose that useless second lady of the Xi Mansion."

How can it be useless?Xi Lingyan and Xi Changning are good friends, and even Xi Lingyan's candidacy was the result of Xi Changning's pleading with the prince.In addition, when Xi Lingyan was choosing his concubine, he actually held his handkerchief, so it didn't mean that he was interested in him.If he really wants to be an enemy of the crown prince in the future, Xi Changning will have some scruples with Xi Lingyan in his hand.

"This second lady is very useful, and Jiang Miaoer is arrogant and unreasonable. I think it will be very exciting in the future."

The third prince suddenly laughed out loud as he spoke, that kind of murderous laughter seemed to shake the entire hall down.Yan Xiufeng understands that the third prince treats Xi Changning differently, but Xi Changning is against the prince, and with the third prince's arrogance, all of this is intolerable and even unacceptable.

Xi Changning, you are really good.In the end, you still chose the prince, and you can even say that you tried your best, and even the emperor's schemes were dismantled one by one.The third prince clenched his fists, and for a moment he even wanted to pull Xi Changning in front of him and ask clearly, what is Xi Changning thinking?Why must the prince?

"Go! Invite Xi Changning here! If you don't want to come, tie me up!"

"Third Prince, Xi Changning has a special status now, how can this be?" Yan Xiufeng was in a dilemma.

"It doesn't matter what method you use, I want to see her!"

Yan Xiufeng walked out of the Palace of the Three Princes helplessly, but came back not long after.

"I just went to the palace gate and saw Mr. Ji going to pick up Xi Changning. He must have gone to the East Palace."

The third prince sneered twice.

"The prince is happy, we should also go to congratulate."

The reason seems far-fetched, but it doesn't matter anymore.

Imperial Palace · East Palace
As soon as Xi Changning stepped into the East Palace, he was strangled by the crown prince before he could say a word. He didn't look like the golden boy and jade girl mentioned by others in the hall.

"Tell me! Did you kill Liuli?"

The strength in the prince's hands was increasing, and he could almost hear the sound of joints tightening, completely ignoring Xi Changning's flushed face.

"I wouldn't say it even if I was strangled to death, let alone you were the one who killed Liuli. Coward!"

Xi Changning said almost one word at a time, and after the last two words, she already felt that all the strength in her body was being drained by the prince.But also because of the last word, the prince let go of his hand.

Xi Changning panted heavily and coughed continuously, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

"His Royal Highness, you really forget things. You are the prince's future master of the world. What can you want? But you just let your beloved woman live in the fence, and you don't even dare to come forward."

It is easy for the prince to save Liuli, but it is even more difficult to face the future.Luckily, Liuli is a sensible woman and has never demanded anything from him, otherwise the position of the crown prince can really be so secure?

"So what do you say now, everyone is dead."

The prince stepped back decadently, sat on the steps, and inserted his fingers into his hair.

"It's just a rumor in the market."

Hearing this, the prince strode forward and grabbed Xi Changning's shoulder.

"She's still alive, isn't she?"

Liuli's current state is really inappropriate to meet the prince, not to mention that the rumors outside have not stopped, and they can only meet when everything is settled.

"Prince, the day you and I get married is the time when you see each other again."

"Changning, you are getting more and more cunning." As long as Liuli is not dead, it will be fine.

"Changning is very cunning with the prince, it's just for self-protection."

The prince laughed and relaxed his grip on her.Xi Changning doesn't like him, but he doesn't hate him either. It's just that this relationship has nothing to do with the relationship between a man and a woman. Instead, it's now a little more about involuntary sympathy.

"Prince, the third prince is here." Eunuch Ji's intrusion interrupted their conversation.

Xi Changning and the prince looked at each other with doubts in their hearts.The third prince doesn't seem like someone who would congratulate everywhere, what's the matter here?
"Third brother, what wind brought you here?"

"I just heard that the newly promoted concubine is also in the womb, so I came over to have a look. Now she is a big celebrity." The third prince looked at Xi Changning meaningfully, and there was some irony in his words.

"The prince and the third prince have something to discuss in detail, so Chang Ning will not bother."

Xi Changning had no intention of facing the third prince, because he was also a person who disturbed people's hearts.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? We'll be a family in the future, what else can't you listen to?" Xi Changning still had his usual style of avoiding him when he saw him, avoiding him if he could.The more he thought about it, the more angry the Third Prince was.

Of course Xi Changning knew that the third prince was deliberately trying to embarrass her, but she looked at the prince calmly, hoping that the prince could do something.

The prince stepped forward helplessly, and hugged Xi Changning, pretending to be intimate.

"Third brother, don't make things difficult for Changning."

The prince could tell at a glance that the third younger brother who was wearing a mask seemed to be unable to keep his face in front of Xi Changning.

Xi Changning was relieved to leave the East Palace, but on the way out of the East Palace, there were always two pairs of eyes staring at him, one was the third prince, and the other was the somewhat resentful Yan Xiufeng.

It's normal for Yan Xiufeng to resent her. Back then, he was tricked by Xi Changning to have a tryst with Xi Hanxue, and he was told countless times after tea and dinner.The relationship between the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion also plummeted.As for the third prince, it was somewhat because of Yan Xiufeng's relationship. If the third prince hadn't asked Yan Xiufeng to marry her, maybe her fate would not have been so miserable.

Xi Changning just walked out of the East Palace, but met Huangfu Zimian and Xuan Jing who came here. These two people said that they have a great relationship with the palace, but they can't be counted in the palace.

An awkward atmosphere circulated among the three of them. It was said that there were three of them, but in fact there were two of them.Xi Changning looked at Huangfu Zimian very calmly, but he never opened his eyes to look at her, that kind of modest and courteous look was full of alienation, and there was peace in his calm eyes.

"The crown prince and the third prince are inside. Changning will leave first."

Others say that Xi Changning is a person who can't see through, so why not Huangfu Zimian? Xi Changning, who always thinks he can see through everything, can never see through what Huangfu Zimian is thinking.

After Xi Changning walked away, Xuan Jing pushed Huangfu Zimian.

"What is it for again this time?" Every time he and Huangfu Zimian were in the palace, they would always do something sneaky.

Just now, Huangfu Zimian and Huangfu were about to leave the palace, but they saw the third prince hurriedly walking towards the East Palace, so they asked the people in the third prince's hall, saying that they were going to congratulate the prince, and it seemed that Xi Changning was also there.No, another prince rushed to the East Palace in a hurry.When I saw someone, I still looked like that dead.

"I'm looking for the prince."

Who believes.

"Xuan Jing, if I want to say that I am going to leave the palace and return to Hengshan, what do you think?" Huangfu Zimian asked after a little thought.

"When are you going to escape to?"

Can this also be seen?Huangfu Zimian couldn't help touching his face, did he engrave words on his face?
