Chapter 56 The Princess’ Troubles

During this period, Pei Minqiu was mixed with joy and sorrow. It was her son Yang Ning who came back from Ping'an in the South and became more diligent in studying. It seemed that she had grown up a lot all of a sudden and understood more truths, which made her feel very relieved.

But another incident that happened at the same time made Pei Minqiu very upset. She had just heard that Yang Yuanqing agreed to Xiao Xian's surrender and agreed to marry Xiao Xian's daughter's concubine. The news came from the court, and she became the last one to know.

This made Pei Minqiu unhappy for several days. She was not a jealous woman. She knew that her husband had few children and her family was weak. She needed to try her best to have more children to be conducive to the stability of the family and the long-term stability of the newly established dynasty. So she accepted one woman after another into the mansion with tolerance.

But Pei Minqiu also has her own principle, that is, she must respect her. Any woman who enters the mansion must first seek her opinions. This is also the right to be a wife. Only when she nodded and accepted the bride's tea, the marriage will be considered as the landlord. Otherwise, she has the full power to drive the bride out of the mansion.

In fact, this is not the first time. A Lian was pregnant before entering the Yang Mansion. For the sake of her pregnancy, Pei Minqiu finally accepted that she was her husband's concubine, but this time it was different. This time it was the legitimate daughter of Xiao, Xiao Xian's daughter, and was once named Princess Baoyue of the Western Liang Dynasty.

To a certain extent, Pei Min felt a threat. The empress of the late emperor Yang Guang was also the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. The Xiao family has a great influence in the aristocrats so far, especially in the south. Xiao family has a greater influence. Will her husband be able to stabilize the south...

Although Pei Minqiu felt that the possibility was not great, what if? She knew that her husband was no longer the former Daye town, and no longer the former Fengzhou general manager...

But the person who is about to rule the world, his thinking about problems is more complicated and realistic. He no longer only considers his family and his children's love as before.

Pei Minqiu was worried and couldn't help but arrive at the yard that afternoon.

Under a lush pear tree in the yard, Chuchen was sitting next to her daughter, watching her embroidery with concentration. Not far from the mother and daughter, her son Yang Zhi, who was over two years old, drank and tapped a small tree with a wooden stick.

Yang Zhi looked very much like his father Yang Yuanqing. He was less than three years old. He was as tall and strong as a five-year-old child. He also liked to learn martial arts. When he grabbed Zhou, he grabbed a small wooden sword. Yang Yuanqing often hugged him and said, "When he grew up, he opened up territory for his father."

The little guy turned his head and saw Pei Minqiu entering the yard, he shouted loudly, "Mom, aunt is here."

Chuchen stood up with a smile and asked, "Why are you free to come here?"

Pei Minqiu touched Yang Zhi's round little head and forced a smile, "I'm here to talk to you!"

"Yeah!" Chuchen agreed and told the wet nurse to take care of her son, so she took Pei Minqiu into the house.

The two sat down on the couch. At this time, Yang Bing came in with two cups of tea, "Auntie tastes the tea I fried." She pinched her fingers and looked at Pei Minqiu with anticipation.

"It's very good! He can even sauté tea."

Pei Minqiu savored it carefully, nodded and smiled, "The taste is very good, and you will be responsible for the tea for your father in the future, and you can replace me."

Yang Bing felt a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid my father is not used to the tea I cook."

Pei Minqiu waved his hand and smiled, "As long as it is the tea you fried, even if your father is not used to it at the beginning, he will change it. You are his treasure."

Yang Bing suddenly became happy, "Then I will practice more. When my father comes back, I will let him taste it."

Chuchen knew that Pei Minqiu had something to look for him, so he smiled and said to his daughter: "You go first!"

Yang Bing was extremely smart. He turned around and went out after bowing. Only Chuchen and Minqiu were left in the room. Chuchen knew that she was in a bad mood these days, so he smiled and asked, "Are you still worried about that?"

Pei Minqiu sighed, "This matter really annoyed me. I don't accept it. Everyone in the world knows this matter, but if I accept it, I can't swallow this. Yuan Qing didn't even say it to me in advance. He would be too disrespectful to me."

"Didn't you receive his letter the day before yesterday?"

"Hey! So what if I received the letter? The rice has been cooked and it is known to everyone in the court, but I am the last one to know it. The letter said that she will be named Shufei in the future. Do you think he should tell me first?"

Pei Minqiu could no longer hide his anger, "Does he still think I am a princess?"

Chuchen sighed, "Actually, you blamed Yuan Qing for your mistake, and he only found out afterwards."

Pei Minqiu was stunned and his anger disappeared, "How do you say this?"

"I only knew yesterday that my aunt came to visit me yesterday? She told me that Xie Sili agreed to Xiao Xian's marriage first when he was on the mission to the Western Liang Dynasty. Yuan Qing didn't know about this at that time. He didn't want to tell you that I'd better tell you that seeing that you were so angry with Yuan Qing!"

Pei Minqiu was stunned. This was the case. She knew that her aunt was Shen Jundao's wife. Shen Jundao was the Minister of Rites. The news must be true. Anger suddenly ignited from Pei Minqiu's heart. She clenched her silver teeth and said with hatred: "What a Xie Sili, very... very good!"

Chuchen was shocked, "Sister, you won't want to kill someone, are you?"

Pei Minqiu shook her head, "Where do you want to go?"

She gritted her teeth and said, "Although I can't kill anyone, Xie Sili is so bold and arbitrary. She promised Yuanqing's marriage without taking me seriously. One day, I will let him understand the consequences of offending me."

Chuchen thought for a while and explained: "Sister, I think he should be forced by the situation. He is Yuan Qing's confidant. He has been an official for many years and should not be so reckless. He may have no choice but to agree."

"snort!"

Pei Minqiu snorted heavily and said angrily: "It is because he has been an official for many years and should understand the rules that I am angry. Why didn't he come to explain to me afterwards and why didn't he apologize to me? Maybe he thought it would be enough to explain to Yuanqing, and there was no need to explain anything to me, a woman, to me, as a woman. He didn't take me, as the Princess Chu, seriously at all."

Chuchen felt a little regretful and shouldn't have told Minqiu about this. At this moment, a housekeeper ran into the yard and reported at the door: "Is the mistress in the house?"

"Aunt Qin, what's the matter?" Pei Minqiu asked in the inner room.

"Reported to the mistress, a carriage came from outside the mansion, and was guarded by the master's personal soldiers. In the carriage was a girl named Xiao. The soldiers said that it was ordered by the master, and this girl Xiao was the new wife."

"Ah!" Pei Minqiu stood up in shock, and it was coming so fast!

She was confused and didn't know what to do. Pei Minqiu sat down slowly again, frowned, and came to the side to persuade her, "No matter what, since the person is here, I will take her into the mansion first, and it was Yuan Qing's personal soldiers who came here, which means that Yuan Qing has agreed, sister, you have to give this face!"

Pei Minqiu certainly understood that she could not really turn this Miss Xiao out. She had to give her husband a face, but she really couldn't swallow this tone.

She pondered for a moment and said to Chuchen: "This is it! You welcome her into the mansion for me, so let her live in Furong Courtyard first. It happened that there was also cleaning up, food, accommodation, etc., so I'm sorry for you to arrange it for me."

"Hey! I have to come forward in the end. I'm most afraid of dealing with such troublesome things."

Chuchen smiled and stood up and walked out, walked to the door, turned around and asked jokingly, "Then why did I explain to her, saying that you are very annoyed and will not see her?"

Pei Minqiu thought about it and sighed, "Just say I'm sick these two days, and see her when I'm in a little better condition."

"Okay! I'll be this peacemaker."

Although Pei Minqiu was angry, she was the Princess of Chu after all and knew the importance of it. She knew that this was a political marriage. Even if Xiao Liang had surrendered now, if she did not admit it, it would seriously affect her husband's reputation.

She felt helpless. If she didn't admit this marriage, it would cause annoyance. Thinking of this, Pei Minqiu couldn't help but sigh softly.

.........

A dusty carriage had already crossed the Guardian River and stopped in front of the mansion. Xiao Yuexian and his maid walked up from the carriage and looked at the vast huge house. This was the legendary Chu Prince's Mansion. She was a little nervous. Will this be her new home in the future?

"Girl, the Chu Prince's Mansion is the same as we think!" the maid exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Yuexian nodded. She knew that she had to pass the princess's level, but she heard that the princess was kind and kind to others and would not make things difficult for her. Moreover, the King of Chu said she had told her in advance.

At this time, the housekeeper of the inner palace, Aunt Qin and Chuchen walked out together. Aunt Qin smiled and introduced: "Miss Xiao, this is the second wife, I'm here to lead you into the mansion."

Xiao Yuexian also heard that the Princess of Chu is Pei Ju's granddaughter, and the second wife's surname is Zhang, and her mother's family is Shen, Jiangnan. She grew up with the King of Chu's childhood sweetheart, and she is the ** in front of her.

Seeing her gentle smile, Xiao Yuexian felt a little calmer in her tension, and quickly stepped forward and gave a gift: "Yuexian, please see the concubine!"

Seeing that she was tall and slim, with a beautiful and dignified appearance, she couldn't help but secretly praised her, "What a great beauty, no wonder Yuan Qing agreed, that guy, hey!"

Chuchen hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said with a smile: "Yuan Qing has already written a letter, we are thinking about you! We came here without expectation. It's just a coincidence."

She explained to Xiao Yuexian again, "It was supposed to be the eldest sister who came to pick you up to the mansion. She happened to be sick in the past two days. The doctor told her not to see the wind, so she had to ask me to pick you up to the mansion. Please forgive me for any rudeness."

"Yuexian dares not!"

Chuchen walked towards the mansion with her arm. Aunt Qin and a few maids took their luggage for them. As she walked, Chuchen smiled and said, "The yard has been packed. You can live in peace first. I will arrange it for you. This will be your home in the future. I will get used to it slowly. There are some sisters. Let's meet again in the evening and the children. I believe everyone will definitely like you."

"Yuexian, thank you for your concern!"

Chuchen chuckled, "Don't be so polite, just call me second sister or Chuchen in the future."
