Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 63
The West Courtyard of the Shao Family was full of disturbances, but the Prince Qing Mansion showed a strange tranquility after the storm.

Shao Tongyun died as soon as she died, a concubine, or a concubine who fell out of favor and waited to die, who would stand up for her?Xianhui's side was strictly on guard, and no one else could catch anything, so the rumors gradually faded away.

Princess Xiaohe and Lu Jian lived in the Yunwei Courtyard, and their days were peaceful.

The concubine of Dajun was slapped by her husband, so she couldn't make trouble, and she still presided over Zhongwei every day.It's just that she was more careful in front of her husband, and her gaze became more gloomy when she saw Xianhui, but she didn't dare to commit crimes against the wind.As for the others, who would look for death and not choose a good day, just to catch bad luck?So it's all quiet.

Xianhui nestled in the house every day doing needlework, and never went out except to greet her mother-in-law.

Only occasionally, she couldn't help but feel a little unreal, is Shao Tongyun really dead?That younger sister who had feuded with him for two lifetimes, really disappeared like this?I hope so.

Gao Chen said that she was dealt with before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was solved in such a strange way.

A quiet day passed.

That afternoon, Nanny Li came in beamingly and replied, "Princess of the four counties, good news!" The Weiyu people laughed first, "The second son of King Yan, who is also the first son of the current Princess Yan, was the most popular adoptive prince in the past. Yes, the emperor has just appointed Liaozhou Inspector, and let him take office immediately."

Governor of Liaozhou?Xian Hui was startled for a moment, then became happy.

Originally, the royal family members were only princes, county kings, generals of the Fuguo, etc. How could there be any civil servants?And it was also sealed to the remote Liaozhou, obviously exiled by the emperor.

From this point of view, Gao Chen's strategy has worked.

He used the assassination to attack King Yan's faction, which made the emperor taboo, and decreed to exile the second son of King Yan, which caused great losses to the enemy and was even suspected by the emperor!Not only that, since King Yan's second son was wronged by his elder brother, Princess Yan and her two remaining sons will definitely retaliate against Prince Yan's son.

King Yan's faction is fighting among themselves, and King Qing's faction can naturally reap the benefits of the fisherman.

When I went to pay my respects to Princess Qing the next day, I purposely stayed there, made an excuse and said with a smile: "I finished the clothes I made for my mother. You can try it later, it's bigger or smaller, so I can go back and change it. "When there was no one else, I told my mother-in-law the good news in time.

The news from Empress Wu was faster than what was released outside.

Princess Qing was naturally very happy.

In recent years, the voice of the adoptive crown prince has been very high.

King Yan's second son, and his own fourth son are the most favored. After all, the eldest son is a bit mediocre, and the third son is a concubine, so the fourth son has become the target of others!I heard that the fourth child was assassinated by bandits in Changping, but he was fine, otherwise he would be such a capable son, who would he desperately seek?

So he nodded again and again, "That's great, Your Majesty is wise."

Gao Chen, King Qing, and King Dajun all concealed things from the concubine, and did not say anything about their injuries.

Xian Hui had been told before, so naturally she wouldn't be so stupid as to intentionally worry her mother-in-law, she just said in a positive way, "In my opinion, everything has been properly arranged by the king of the four counties, we just have to wait for his good news."

The good news didn't take long, about ten days later, Gao Chen found it.

I heard that it was very miserable. Not to mention the injuries all over the body when I fell off the cliff, I even broke my leg.Fortunately, a kind villager took him in, otherwise he would not have survived.It's all right now, the man has been found, the battle in Fujian is raging fiercely, Gao Chen was able to calm down the scene just now, leading the three armies and vowing to kill the bandits!

Xianhui learned all these outside news from Nanny Li, which was convenient.

I sighed slightly in my heart, I didn't have any contact with Gao Chen in my previous life, I only heard that he won several battles, but I didn't know that there were so many conspiracies and troubles mixed in.King Yan, the sons of King Yan, and the crown prince, this is like a bigger net, covering the sky and covering the earth, and every movement is bloody.

But the present day is very peaceful.

After more than a month, we finally got the good news from Fujian!Gao Chen was on behalf of the imperial court to suppress the fujian rogue bandits. It was not a bad battle. As long as the generals in Fujian were controlled and the situation stabilized, it didn't take long to conquer them. Naturally, the imperial court won a complete victory.

When this news reached Prince Qing's Mansion, all the previous haze was immediately swept away, and the entire Palace was filled with joy.

Princess Qing ordered to decorate the mansion well, hang red silk on the trees, replace the window screens and door curtains with new ones, and prepare a three-day banquet to welcome the triumphant return of the youngest son.After everyone invited Ann that day, they left Xianhui alone, found some fresh materials for her, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and make some new clothes and dress up."

Looking at the little daughter-in-law, the standard beauty has an oval face, long eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, smooth and delicate skin like jade, she is definitely a beauty embryo.The youngest son is just at the age of youth and impulsiveness. Looking at such a little wife, he should like it.

Next to her, Nanny Zhou was introducing with a smile, "This is soft smoke, this is the gauze after the rain, and this is the fine brocade of clouds and geese that was rewarded from the south..." It's like countless treasures, flattering the princess without a trace, " The concubines of the four counties, these are the favorites of the concubines when they were young, and they have been kept for so many years, and they are all rewarded to you."

Xianhui was a little surprised, why did her mother-in-law suddenly think of rewarding herself with materials alone?But since I got the reward, of course I have to be more pleasing, and I smiled and acted like a baby, "I can't help it, who will make my mother feel sorry for me."

Princess Qing was very happy when she heard that, and said with a smile: "Your mouth is so sweet, you can't complain." That's right, the youngest daughter-in-law is still a sweet girl, soft-spoken and coquettish, how can the youngest son not be tempted?Could it be that he didn't get the hang of it?
Xianhui laughed for a while, took the material, thanked him and went back.

Concubine Qing and Nanny Zhou were speaking frankly, and were a little worried, "Fourth brother and Xianhui, why haven't they consummated their marriage yet?" She didn't know about the injury of the youngest son, "I just said, I should arrange a call for fourth son earlier. Fang girl, some experience is good."

Nanny Zhou picked up the sweet one and said, "It's the first time for the young couple to explore, so maybe the relationship is even better."

"Then how long will it take to find out?" Princess Qing was a little anxious, "You said, could it be that the fourth brother couldn't let go of his hands and feet, so he delayed it? Oh, if he doesn't know how to do that kind of thing, he would be ashamed. "

"My concubine and concubine." It actually amused Nanny Zhou, and said with a smile: "How can anyone be so stupid that they can't learn this kind of thing? Like those small families, they don't have a housemate, so it's the same Have children?" Because she has served for many years, relying on the deep affection, she even made a joke, "The princess is in a hurry to hug her grandson, and she is confused."

Princess Qing thought for a while, then smiled and said: "That's right, I was confused." She also thought it was funny, "I think before I became a princess, no matter my parents, brother-in-law, or relatives, it was the first time for a couple. ah."

Nanny Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, just wait a while, and the princess will have her eldest grandson in her arms."

Princess Qing loves to hear this, even though she has two grandsons now, one born to her aunt and the other born to her concubine's daughter-in-law, how could it be better than the eldest grandson of a direct relative?As for the eldest daughter-in-law, it seems that she can't give birth, and her character is not good. Looking at her now makes her feel upset, so she is waiting for Xianhui to have a happy event.

In the Canglan Hall, Xianhui still doesn't know her mother-in-law's ardent hope.

But I still told Yuzi seriously, "Choose a few good embroiderers in the mansion, let them cut clothes, and pay the wages from me alone." Although I can do needlework, I can't drive out several sets at once. That would be exhausting.I can't live up to my mother-in-law's kindness, "Remember to tell them to be careful and do it well."

"Hey." Yuzi agreed, and led two maids to take the material away.

The next day, Xianhui went to pay her respects and was left behind by her mother-in-law.

Princess Qing flipped through a few big packing boxes and came out, glittering with pearls, and said generously: "You pick, take and wear whatever you like, these colors are too bright, I have put them away for almost ten years."

Jewelry is no more expensive than materials.

Xian Hui didn't want it, but she was worried about spoiling her mother-in-law's face, so she only picked out an agate bead flower, and said with a smile, "This is not bad, I just want someone to hit one."

Princess Qing was dissatisfied, "Choose more, at least ten."

ah?Is there a task for this matter?Xian Hui didn't understand what happened to her mother-in-law?Are you overjoyed to learn that your baby son is coming back?He waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile: "How can I take away all the good things from my mother? When the four county kings come back, they will definitely say that I am too greedy."

"I gave it to him, but he didn't dare to say it." Princess Qing wanted to dress up her little daughter-in-law beautifully, and she did it herself. She picked out all kinds of gold hairpins and jade hairpins, and she picked a dozen of them, "...is it enough?"

Xian Hui hurriedly said: "Enough, enough."

I dare not refuse again, lest my mother-in-law give me all the jewelry boxes.

If the other sisters-in-law knew that the mother-in-law was eccentric and had given herself so many jewelry in private, wouldn't she be so jealous?So I quickly thanked and thanked, and left early.

I made a plan in my heart, and I was going to give my mother-in-law a valuable ornament when I turned back, as a return gift.

She went back to the house, and murmured to Nanny Li wonderingly: "My mother has been so generous recently, she gave me a lot of things, good materials, and good jewelry. I'm a little afraid that she will leave me alone to talk."

Nanny Li is an elderly person who has been here, and with a thought, she guessed Princess Qing's intentions.

——This is in a hurry to consummate the marriage between the youngest son and the youngest daughter-in-law.

Nanny Li didn't tell the truth, so that Xianhui wouldn't be ashamed, instead she quietly asked people to prepare fragrant soup for bathing and maintenance.In addition to the outer packaging of Princess Qing, it is planned to nourish her on the inside, making sure that the princesses of the four counties are beautiful, delicate and tender, so that the kings of the four counties will not be able to let go of them when they come back.

Keeping in the dark, Xian Hui devoted herself to making purses and clothes for Gao Chen.

The sunshine in early autumn is bright and clear, with a touch of golden color, covering the furnishings in the house with a layer of golden light, making people feel confused.She put away the last injection, rubbed her sore neck, and compared her purse to the sun, feeling quite proud, "This is the most beautiful purse I have ever made."

"Is this the best-looking one? I don't think so." Someone joked behind him.

Xianhui was originally sitting facing the window, and she was not very honest. She sat cross-legged on the beauty couch, and suddenly heard a voice from behind, it was a man!Immediately, I twisted in fright, pressed the air with one hand, "Ah!", and then was supported by a pair of steady and strong hands.

"Can't you be more mature?" Gao Chen scolded.

Xianhui pouted, "It was you who scared me." Then she got down on the bed, and couldn't help but look at him carefully with joy.

Probably just came back from the outside, full of travel and dust.

He wore a royal blue brocade robe with dark patterns, a jade belt in the middle, white silk trousers underneath, and small black-soled court boots.Especially when he reprimanded himself with a cold face, his eyes were clear and sharp, like a sharp sword with a frosty edge.

She used to be afraid of his cold edge, but now that she is his wife, this edge will only protect herself.

——I'm not afraid.

"Are you still laughing?" Gao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said amusedly, "I've never seen a girl with a thicker skin than you."

Xian Hui caught his tongue, "What's thicker? How many girls have you met besides me? What kind of girls are they? The ring is fat, the swallows are thin, the pink and the willow are green? Huh, I want to tell my mother that you bully me .”

Just waiting for him to say to himself, "Nonsense."

"Princess of the Four Counties." Yuzi called out from outside, a little nervous, "There is Miss Lin, come here to greet you."

Xian Hui felt a "thump" in her heart.

What Miss Lin?Could it be the woman Gao Chen brought back from Fujian?Looking at Gao Chen in a panic, he looked at himself with a calm expression and said nothing, and couldn't help but panic even more.

She asked timidly, "You...brought it back from Fujian?"

Gao Chen looked at her and nodded slightly.

Xian Hui's originally happy face suddenly changed.

Gao Chen looked at her with a pair of rippling bright eyes, which were originally full of sparks of laughter, but now seemed to be covered with dark clouds, leaving only a piece of darkness.For some reason, she thought of teasing her, who made her talk nonsense just now, and said lightly: "Go and see, don't make people wait for a long time."

others?The sourness in Xian Hui's heart could make a pot of vinegar.

She bit her lip bitterly, calmed down, and went out with a three-point guard and seven-point anger in her heart.

In the hall, stood a delicate and handsome girl in her sixteenth or seventeenth year.She has a melon-seeded face, slender eyebrows and fine eyes, wearing a soft and charming ponytail, and pinning a few silver jewelry and pearl flowers.Paired with a light green top and white spun gauze embroidered skirt, it is refreshing and generous, like a tender new willow on the banks of the March River.

She came up coquettishly, with a clear voice, "Greetings to the princesses of the four counties."

Xianhui felt that she couldn't raise her breath.

Seeing this, Nanny Li said lightly for her, "Please get up."

The delicate young girl kept looking at Xian Hui, turning her wonderful eyes slightly, as if she didn't dare to stand up casually.

Xian Hui was already sour in her heart, but when she saw her belittle Nanny Li, she became a little angry, and said in a calm voice, "Nurse Li speaks just like I speak, get up."

——It was exactly the tone of the mistress talking to the concubine.

"Yes." The girl stood up slowly.

"What's your name? How old are you? Who else is there in the family?" Xian Hui asked angrily.

"My surname is Lin, and my girlfriend's name is Xiuyan. Both of my parents are deceased, and I have no brothers or sisters." Speaking of this, Lin Xiuyan's eyes flashed a trace of tears, tears filled her eyes, and she looked a bit weak and overwhelmed.

Xianhui really didn't have experience in dealing with concubines, so she just felt troubled, wow, how pitiful, no wonder Gao Chen's heart softened, right?But he didn't know how to continue, so he could only force himself to be calm, "Okay, you go down first." Turning to look at Nanny Li, "Give her... a place to live."

Is this how the mistress arranges concubines?Ahhhh, I'm about to die of sourness.

A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Xiuyan's eyes.

Gao Chen came out suddenly, and said softly: "Miss Lin, you should go back to the second sister-in-law first."

"Yes." Lin Xiuyan quit. Outside the door, a girl led her down the steps and went away.

"What is she going to do with the second sister-in-law?" Xian Hui was at a loss and didn't understand.

"Come in." Gao Chen glanced at her.

Xian Hui quickly ran in, and said sourly: "Miss Lin, Miss Lin, you shouted very affectionately."

Gao Chen poured a cup of tea by himself, and drank it leisurely.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xianhui became more and more suspicious, and said anxiously: "Tell me, why did she go to the second sister-in-law's side? The second sister-in-law is a lay person, and she rarely comes out to meet people, and she loves quietness the most. You... You are a little star, and you still have to disturb the second sister-in-law."

Gao Chen couldn't bear it any longer, and smiled "chih", "When did I accept Xiaoxing?"

Xianhui saw that he was still playing tricks on her, and said bitterly: "Even if you don't have time on the way, can't you do it now? Don't think I don't know, what are your plans!"

"Oh?" Gao Chen asked with a smile: "Then tell me, what am I planning?"

"You want to wait for me to nod and give that Lin Xiuyan a title!" Xianhui was about to be furious, and knowing that it was common for rich families to take concubines, the mistress couldn't be jealous, so she swallowed her breath and turned her face away from him.

Gao Chen looked at her amusedly, um...it seems that she has grown a little taller, and she is not so thin anymore.

Although she looks petite, she is actually taller and slender than ordinary women, with a slim and exquisite figure, coupled with a head of black silk like ink satin, her hair is like clouds and her face is as white as jade.Now he is jealous and angry, his eyes are crackling and sparkling, his face is slightly flushed, and he is in an inexhaustible state of happiness and anger.

——It’s heart-pounding to watch.

He stepped forward and held her in his arms, and the jealous one struggled a few times.

Gao Chen touched her small face, feeling the inconceivable tenderness, and said slowly: "When Yu Shitong died in battle, a lieutenant surnamed Lin blocked an arrow for him. Although he couldn't save him, but that The deputy general also died in battle. Vice general Lin left behind a daughter, his wife died early, and neither family had any relatives to trust, so he brought them back."
