Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 217
The old lady pulled Meng Wan and talked a lot, Lin Lin sighed in her heart, no wonder everyone said it was a winter plum, it was really cold, but she looked cold, but her words were respectful, not arrogant, but nice get along.

Old Madam Meng has a serious temperament, and she thinks that Miss Meng followed her grandfather.

The old lady was extremely polite to Meng Wan, and intentionally asked the other girls in the house to make friends with Meng Wan, especially Chu Wan.

However, no matter how Chu Wan tried to flatter her, Meng Wan was still cold and didn't give her a single look.

On the contrary, Meng Wan said to Chu Zhao: "I heard from Zhi'er that the second young lady will leave the court soon. Wan'er here first congratulates the second young lady for their love and love. They will grow old together and be united forever."

Chu Zhao was a little surprised. She was originally arrogant. Although she was different from Meng Wan's coldness, she was also a person who did not take the initiative from others and never spoke up.

Now that Meng Wan took the initiative to speak, it was inevitable that she was a little surprised, but she didn't show anything on her face.

"Thank you, Ms. Meng. If you are free then, if you don't dislike the bad tea and wine in the house, you can come and have a seat. I welcome it very much."

Meng Wan nodded: "The second girl is self-effacing, your house is very good."

Knowing that she had few words, Chu Zhao stopped talking.

Unexpectedly, Meng Wan turned her head to Chu Xi again and asked, "Are you Miss Six?"

Chu Xi naturally recognized Meng Wan. The two had met at the palace banquet before, but they had never really known each other. Knowing that Meng Wan and Chu Zhi had a good relationship, Chu Xi smiled softly.

"The courtier has seen Miss Meng, and Miss Meng is well."

What she said was a bit nondescript. Although Master Meng's status is much higher than Chu Zhang's, he just returned to Beijing and was not an official in the court. He only relied on the prestige of the Meng family and the honor and favor of the family before. Meng Wan is extremely polite and courteous, but she doesn't treat her like a courteous woman as soon as she opens her mouth, regardless of her status.

Seeing Meng Wan looking at her with doubts on her face, Chu Xi still smiled and explained: "I just talked about the second sister's marriage, and the court lady heard that the imperial decree has been drawn up, and that sister Meng will become the princess soon, such a great thing , really gratifying."

Everyone understands what she said, even the old lady knows it well.

Otherwise, they would not have specially invited Meng Wan to sit in the Rongning Hall for a while, just to win over the relationship and ask Meng Wan to make friends with the Chu Mansion, so that they can lean on the big tree of Meng Wan to enjoy the shade in the future.

It's just that the crown prince disagrees, and the matter of the crown princess has not yet been settled, so some people are inevitably panicked.

But the Holy Majesty's will is firm, so this matter will be dragged on like this.

People in the capital had long believed that Meng Wan, the Crown Princess, might not be able to escape. Maybe, the Meng family would make a comeback and produce another queen.

However, everyone just said these words in private, but they didn't want Chu Xi to be so straightforward. The old lady was a little displeased.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Chu Xi say again: "I heard that after the Holy Majesty returned from the palace banquet last night, he and Eunuch Li drew up an imperial decree, even the jade seal was covered, and we are waiting for the auspicious day to promulgate the decree."

The old lady was even more anxious than Meng Wan, and as soon as she finished speaking, she asked, "Really?"

The rest of the sisters also looked at Chu Xi for clarification.

Chu Xi smiled and said, "Of course it's true."

"How did you know?" Chu Zhi wanted to pull Meng Wan, but it was too late, and only heard Meng Wan say, "You knew what happened last night this morning?"

What's more, it's still such a secret, I'm afraid it's just talking about it.

"The courtier's daughter naturally doesn't have the ability to reach the sky. It's just that the fourth prince sent a message in the morning, saying that the queen mother said it herself. I'm afraid it won't be the same, so I congratulated my sister in advance and got her wish."

She deliberately bit down on the last four words, and the rest of them were surprised and envious after hearing it, as if they had seen Meng Wan wearing a phoenix robe, ascending the throne of the princess, presiding over the East Palace, with infinite scenery and extreme honor.

Only Meng Wan's expression changed slightly.

Chu Zhi patted Meng Wan's hand, signaling her to be calm, and then said to Chu Xi, "Since that's the case, then I also want to congratulate Sixth Sister."

Chu Xi instinctively felt that what she said was wrong, but she stabbed Meng Wan just now, and she was happy in her heart, but she realized something was wrong, but she couldn't turn her head around, and subconsciously said, "What do you congratulate me for?"

"The Holy Majesty once said that the imperial decree for the crown princess and the fourth prince's side concubine will be issued on the same day. You are not joking, since the imperial edict for the crown prince and concubine has been drawn up, the imperial edict for the fourth prince's side concubine must be ready as well." I heard that the fourth prince wholeheartedly wanted to marry his younger sister as his side concubine, and now my younger sister is afraid that she will get what she wants, so why doesn’t my younger sister tell you about such a good thing, so that we can be happy together?” Chu Zhi said here, half jokingly "But look at my sister's face, I'm afraid she just wants to have fun by herself? Or..."

The position of side concubine is not hers at all, and Chu Xi doesn't know about it at all, so I don't mention it!

Chu Xi's face suddenly changed.

Regarding the matter of the fourth prince's side concubine, the fourth prince did not mention the slightest thing.

The fourth prince once told her personally that he would definitely ask for the position of side concubine for her. If it was impossible, he could only wrong her first and ask Zheng Yingying to enter the mansion, and then use this as an excuse to ask the queen to allow her to enter the fourth prince's mansion as a side concubine. , just later.

How can that work!Although they are both side concubines, she entered the mansion later than Zheng Yingying, so after all, she was a head lower than Zheng Yingying and called Zheng Yingying her sister.

How is she willing?
Seeing Chu Xi's life and death, the fourth prince felt sorry for the beauty, so he swore to heaven that he would let her enter the mansion with Zheng Yingying.

Seeing that his words were sincere and his loyalty could be learned from the sun and the moon, Chu Xi was relieved.

Now it seems that Chu Xi did not get the position of side concubine because the fourth prince might not have done well.

In the end, it was because she was too confident in the fourth prince, and Chu Xi was dissatisfied and resentful, so she asked people to spread the news that the fourth prince was going to marry her as a side concubine in advance.

There is a huge difference between a side concubine and a concubine. The former is the master and is going to be the royal jade butterfly. Although the latter is noble, to put it bluntly, he is also a slave, and he is not sold by the concubine wantonly.

They all say that Chu Xi is a good person, a good life, born noble, and the master of blessings.

As soon as this statement came out, Chu Xi's treatment in the mansion improved rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, Chu Zhi had heard about it, no more jealous than other sisters in the house, Chu Zhi just laughed it off and never took it to heart

Chu Zhi didn't care, but the others did.

Especially the old lady.

But before the old lady asked, Chu Wan lost her voice: "Really? You really became the fourth prince's side concubine?"

The tone is high, almost unsteady, and some broken voices.

The matter was so important, the old lady glanced at Chu Wan, not caring about her losing her composure, but just looked at Chu Xi.

Being watched by so many people, Chu Xi felt his mind was in a mess.

Previously, the fourth prince had personally promised that she and Zheng Yingying would enter the mansion together, but in the morning, the fourth prince only mentioned Meng Wan's being canonized as the crown princess, and said nothing more. Obviously, her wish came to nothing.
