The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 169, Learning Now and Selling Now

Su Han bent her vermilion lips, and raised a very bright smile, a little shy, with firm eyes, "Mother, just rest assured, my daughter is not a good-natured girl, she has earned her reputation after being wronged."

Ling Shi nodded, "That's the reason. She is the second concubine. She thinks she can hide it from anyone with such a little thought, but everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart, and only that foolish bastard Xun Wang is willing to take her as a treasure. It's a pity Qi Yao."

Su Han suddenly felt sorry for Qi Yao, his biological father didn't like it, and his stepmother was clearly scheming. She had heard that the new emperor ascended the throne, and Qi Yao slaughtered all the families of Prince Xun's mansion overnight, leaving no one behind, which shows how much hatred he has in his heart.

You also have to pretend to be indifferent, indifferent, and unrestrained, but in fact Qi Yao is a very fragile and emotionally sensitive person.

Ling sneered, "You can just wait at ease, she will always be watching!"

Su Han didn't take this seriously either, and the next day news came from Prince Xun's residence that most of Princess Xun's illness had recovered.

Concubine Xun was ill for half a day, and the house was in chaos, and the stewards made mistakes one after another, and King Xun had one head and two big ones.

Concubine Mei took the opportunity to seize power, and King Xun happened to get rid of this burden. After waiting for many years, Concubine Mei could finally take the opportunity to manage Prince Xun's mansion.

As soon as the Concubine Mei was handed over, the Concubine Xun got the news and almost spit out a mouthful of blood. She really cared about the west and ignored the east, and always had to abandon one side.

"Princess, according to this old slave, first agree to the second son. Miss Su is still young, and she won't go through the door for a while. Besides, it's not a problem to procrastinate. After all, the imperial decree is there. A fact that cannot be changed.”

Nanny Fang analyzed the pros and cons, "If Concubine Mei takes over, it will be hard to get back the power."

Concubine Xun gritted her teeth, she was taken advantage of by that bitch Concubine Mei, Qi Yao must be forcing her on purpose.

Concubine Xun took a deep breath, a little unwilling. Once she let go, the dowry would be lost.

"Princess, let's start something. Even if Ms. Su enters the mansion in the future, you are the mother-in-law and she is the daughter-in-law. It's not because of what you say, and I can't escape your grasp. Taking the dowry is not moving from one house to another. , is still under the eyes of the princess, and Miss Su Su dare not move a single point."

Concubine Xun suddenly relaxed her eyebrows. The imperial decree had been issued, so she could only think that way, saying that she would not recover from illness was just a way to delay the attack.

"But the dowry is not complete at all, and a lot has been embezzled over the years. It is really difficult to get it together. In the future, Brother Xuan will be engaged and hired. If there is no decent one, wouldn't it be a joke?"

Concubine Xun felt a headache when she thought of this, "The two sisters are not too young, even if the two dowries come from the public, it is not enough to make up one of them. After all, they are girls from the palace, so they can't be too shabby. "

Concubine Xun was frowning, and her mouth was blistering in anxiety.

"Princess, this old slave has a plan." Mother Fang suddenly said, "It's better to replace part of the dowry with ordinary ones. After all, it's been more than ten years, and some things can't be stored at all, such as gauze and the like, which have long since broken No one can find a reason.”

Princess Xun hesitated, "This..."

It has to be said that this is an exciting method, the main thing is to muddle through, not only can you give out the dowry openly, but you can also get a good reputation.

Concubine Xun still had some concerns, and Nanny Fang persuaded, "Princess, it has been a long time, and the emperor can't explain it to me. I deliberately dragged the second son to make things difficult, didn't I mean to feel sorry for the emperor, and you have to take care of the third son. Just think about it, maybe the emperor will approve the prince's memorial as soon as he is happy."

Nanny Fang thought she was right. After all, the emperor loved Qi Yao very much, and at least Princess Xun shouldn't make things difficult for her and be harsh on Qi Yao.

Concubine Xun came back to her senses in deep thought. She had indeed overlooked this point. She was not seriously ill in the first place, so she became passive instead.

"Well, go and invite the prince to come. Let me think about the dowry." Concubine Xun is a very cautious person. Once exposed, her impression in King Xun's heart will plummet. She must plan well. .

After a while, King Xun came, and Princess Xun supported her sick body, looking at King Xun palely and weakly.

"My lord, this concubine has been thinking about it for a long time. The emperor's imperial decree has been issued. We can't neglect it. Tomorrow, my concubine plans to go to Su's mansion to propose marriage."

Concubine Xun covered her lips and coughed while speaking, "It's all my fault that my body is useless, but fortunately, the imperial doctor said that it will be fine after a few days of rest, please trouble my sister Concubine Mei to take care of this concubine for a few days."

King Xun was greatly moved when he heard this, "You are weak, so don't worry about it for a while, let's talk about it after a few days when you feel better."

Concubine Xun shook her head, "My lord, no, this child Yao'er already liked Miss Su very much, so she finally asked for an imperial edict.
The concubine also wants to let him get married as soon as possible, settle down, make a difference as soon as possible, and live up to the emperor's expectations of him. "

Concubine Xun's words were all about Qi Yao's considerations, her mind was spinning quickly, and she said tentatively, "I think that when the emperor calms down, the second son's position as the eldest son will be re-canonized, which is also good for our Xun Wangfu. of."

King Xun directly denied it, "This Nizi has absolutely no chance. You don't have to speak well for him. The king has already handed in the memorial. Xuan'er is more than a hundred times stronger than him in every way. In the hands, sooner or later it will lose everything, it is not as good as Xuan'er."

Concubine Xun was overjoyed, but she didn't show the slightest bit on her face, she looked helpless and wanted to persuade, King Xun waved her hand, "You don't need to persuade anymore, I don't care what outsiders say, I don't care about talents and virtues, what about Xuan'er Can't compare to him? This matter is settled like this, the princess can take care of her body with peace of mind, and the matter of the appointment will be discussed after the princess is well."

King Xun left without saying a word, Princess Xun curled her lips, showing a knowing smile.

"The old slave congratulates Princess Xun, and finally what she wanted has come true." Nanny Fang was also happy for Princess Xun, and Qi Xuan was also considered to be brought up by her, with deep feelings. Only when Princess Xun is well can she be well.

The Su Mansion was quiet for a few days, and when Third Master Su returned to the mansion, his expression was a bit unsightly.

"Those rumors outside are too disgusting. It's really unreasonable. My Su Zhiqing's daughter is good-looking, and her family background is well-cultivated. Why should she be in Xunwangfu?"

Third Master Su was furious. When he went to the government office early in the morning, his ears were full of talk about his daughter. Prince Xun's residence refused to propose marriage for so long. He thought it was Miss Su's hidden illness, and talked about everything.

Ling Shi smiled and said, "What's the use of being angry? Just wait, there should be news in these two days."

How could Third Master Su not be angry? His daughter, whom he has spoiled since childhood, has always been a treasure in his hands. When has he ever received such foul language?

Ling was planning in her heart, and had been enduring it all the time. How could she not know what Princess Xun was up to, and she would not look in the mirror to see how heavy she was.　
Su Han's birth gave her a lot of attention, but she was just a step-concubine, so he dared to make decisions in front of her, and he was beyond his control.

Su Han's mood was not affected at all.

After all, it's not the original match, and Su Han doesn't expect Princess Xun to like him, but she feels more and more distressed about Qi Yao, who has spent so many years in a cold home.

three days later

Yiren hurried in, "Madam, Madam, Princess Xun is here."

Ling raised her eyebrows, and after waiting so much, she finally waited for the person to come.

Concubine Xun came over with a pale and sick body, covering her lips and coughing from time to time, as if she would die in a second, when Ling came out, her eyebrows frowned.

There is no festive atmosphere here, it's almost like a funeral, it's really unpleasant, when Ling's temper came up, she retracted her stepping foot, turned around and went back.

"Go and tell Concubine Xun, just say that I didn't close the window last night, and I got a cold, so it's not suitable to see guests."

Ling sneered, she wanted to let Concubine Xun feel anxious and inexplicable.

Yiren nodded, "Yes."

Concubine Xun waited for a long time with the matchmaker, and she drank three cups of tea, but no one came.

Concubine Xun didn't show much on her face, but she was already annoyed in her heart. She was a dignified princess but wanted to wait here for her third-rank wife. Concubine Xun's anger gradually rose.

Originally, Concubine Xun intended to beat up the Ling family, so as to prevent Su Han from entering the mansion in the future, with an arrogant attitude and a full posture.

"Where's your wife? Why is it still not in the future? Is there something stuck?"

Princess Xun added four cups of tea to the table, and finally couldn't help asking.

The little maid shook her head, just at that moment Yiren walked in.

"Returning to Princess Xun, my wife caught a cold last night and really couldn't get up. Knowing that Princess Xun is coming, I specially sent a servant to warn me." The pleasant voice was soft, but it changed when she heard Princess Xun. She didn't believe that there would be such a thing. coincidence.

Concubine Xun stood up and said worriedly, "Is it serious or not? Quickly lead the way, my concubine will go and have a look."

Yiren stopped Princess Xun at once, "Princess Xun, please forgive me. My wife just finished drinking the medicine and fell asleep. My wife didn't know that the princess was coming today, but she was not feeling well and couldn't greet her. I'm afraid the princess doesn't know. My wife is an old problem." , fell asleep and was awakened by someone, easy to palpitation."

Concubine Xun's face froze, and soon turned red, and Yiren stepped aside.If Concubine Xun insisted on going to see it, if Ling's heart palpitations, she would definitely blame Concubine Xun.

Concubine Xun guessed with her toes and knew what Ling's meaning was, so she learned what she was doing and retaliated against her.

Concubine Xun suppressed her anger and forcefully forced a smile, "It's just a coincidence that my concubine is here. I must say hello to my wife in advance when I come in two days. These two children are really troubled."

The last sentence was almost said through gritted teeth, Yiren pretended not to understand, and lowered her head blankly.

Princess Xun took a deep breath, "Let's go!"

In the room, Ling took a sip of tea and curled his lips.

Concubine Xun returned to King Xun's mansion in a fit of anger, pointing and pointing along the way, and carrying all the betrothal gifts back.

"I'm really mad at this concubine, what kind of a thing is she, she dares to show off in front of this concubine, it's really unreasonable!"

What Princess Xun couldn't imagine was that a single Ling family would be difficult enough, and if Su Han entered the mansion in the future, wouldn't he make a mess?My brain hurts just thinking about it.

"Princess, it's really a coincidence that it's Mrs. Ling San. The old slave heard that Mrs. Ling San suffered from dystocia when she gave birth, and she suffered from physical problems. We didn't even say hello when we came to the door. Mrs. Ling San didn't expect it. Besides, Ling San There is no need for madam to offend the concubine for anger, but Miss Su will make a living under your hands in the future, and it is too late for Mrs. Ling San to curry favor with you."

Nanny Fang thought it was a coincidence, Mrs. Ling San would not be so stupid, Princess Xun gradually calmed down, and looked at Nanny Fang suspiciously.

"Well, maybe we are too impatient, hmph, she doesn't dare to let her go."

Princess Xun snorted. With this explanation, she felt much better.

three days later

Princess Xun came to the door again, Yiren looked helpless.

"Returning to Princess Xun, my wife took the young lady to offer incense yesterday afternoon, and I won't be back until this afternoon."

Now, Concubine Xun's face was so dark that it was uglier than the bottom of the pot. She really wanted to throw up her sleeves and leave. The first time was unintentional, and the second time was an accident?
Concubine Xun didn't believe it, the Ling family clearly did it on purpose!
Nanny Fang was also stunned, since she posted a post yesterday, Mrs. Ling San didn't take Princess Xun seriously at all.

"Didn't you hand in the post yesterday?" Mother Fang couldn't help being puzzled.

"It's really a coincidence that yesterday I hosted a teacher's lecture, and our wife often went to listen to it. I originally planned to come back early this morning, but who knew that the carriage broke down halfway and delayed it. No, that's why I asked someone to send a letter."

Yiren took out a letter from his arms and said it with an innocent face.

Concubine Xun can confirm these things, Mrs. Ling San did it on purpose!
