Chapter 260 Use

When the Empress Dowager was feeling, she didn't remember at all, or she never cared about it. There was another girl in Prince Yong's mansion, Qi Yuexin, who was about to be 16 years old, but had not yet decided on a marriage.

At this time, Qi Yuexin was acting coquettish to Concubine Zhao. Half a month ago, she and her widowed cousin Xiao Zhao went to Famen Temple to burn incense. They met Ruan Wenxin, the second-tier candidate in the new academic examination this year. Ruan Wenxin was suave and gentle, and was "stunning" to Qi Yuexin.

Later, Qi Yuexin and Ruan Wenxin met with the help of Xiao Zhao. Qi Yuexin was deeply moved by Ruan Wenxin. Ruan Wenxin was very talented. He missed the membership and the top scorer because he suffered a cold the day before the exam.

Ruan Wenxin said to Qi Yuexin with red eyes that he didn't feel any regret for losing the top scorer, but the biggest regret in his life was that he could not get along with Qi Yuexin.

Because Nguyen Wenxin already has a wife and a three-year-old daughter. Nguyen Wenxin's wife Zheng is the daughter of his teacher. After his teacher passed away, Zheng left him alone and relied on Nguyen Wenxin. He said that he would be a teacher for life and be a father, and Nguyen Wenxin had the responsibility to take care of her for her father.

Seeing that Zheng was indeed lonely and helpless, Ruan Wenxin reluctantly married Zheng to repay his teacher.

Unexpectedly, although Zheng came from a scholarly family, he was vulgar and was obsessed with money every day. According to fellow villagers, he was still unfaithful and was flirting with a man from his neighbor.

A while ago, Zheng wrote to Beijing to find him with his daughter, which made him very painful. He wanted to divorce his wife, but he couldn't bear it. After all, Zheng was the only blood left by his teacher, and they had a daughter.

Furthermore, he is now the second place in high school and has entered the Hanlin Academy. He has a bright future. If he divorces his wife now, he will definitely be scolded as Chen Shimei.

Qi Yuexin sympathized with Ruan Wenxin, and was also moved by his erudition and valuation, especially the admiration and pampering in Ruan Wenxin's eyes when he looked at her made her unable to extricate herself.

Qi Yuexin is also a girl with a high vision. Those aristocratic playboys cannot catch her eyes. Ruan Wenxin is talented. She is also from a poor family, but her future is limitless. Who doesn’t know that as a son today, her imperial uncle attaches importance to talents from the imperial examination? Xia Shujie, the top scholar in the last class of civil and military, was also from a poor family at first.

However, how could her grand eldest lady from Prince Yong’s mansion be a concubine? Even a fair wife is not allowed.

My cousin Xiao Zhao gave her an idea. If she could ask the Empress Dowager to give her a marriage, it would be legitimate to demote Zheng as a concubine. Isn’t it okay to put it in the backyard to take care of Ruan Wenxin’s daughter? Just take it as raising an extra nanny, showing Qi Yuexin’s generosity, which also fulfilled Ruan Wenxin’s reputation and did not affect his glorious future.

Concubine Zhao could not resist Qi Yuexin's plea and asked Ruan Wenxin to go to the palace for guidance on Qi Haoxiang's studies. Seeing that Ruan Wenxin was really talented and beautiful, with extraordinary temperament and sweet mouth. She was much better than the young masters of the families she was watching. Concubine Zhao was more careful and asked someone to inquire about it. He heard that Ruan Wenxin's performance in the Hanlin Academy was also the best. In addition, his wife Zheng was indeed the daughter of his teacher, and he was indeed married in the year when his teacher passed away.

Concubine Zhao calculated that Qi Yuexin is now really a big deal. She is sixteen years old in the blink of an eye, and she is almost shameless to go out to see someone if she doesn't want to marry her.

Ruan Wenxin can be considered a good candidate. He is relying on Qi Yuexin to move upwards, so he won’t hold Qi Yuexin in his hands in the future? Concubine Zhao is naturally more sophisticated than Qi Yuexin and can see farther and be able to ask the Queen Mother to give her marriage. Ruan Wenxin can not only demote his wife to a concubine with confidence. This huge face will definitely be of great help to his future future. The grandson-in-law who gave her marriage personally will always give her some face, right?

The problem is that the mother and son cannot get into the empress dowager's eyes at all, and they can't even see the empress dowager, so where can they ask for marriage?

In the past, if Qi Yuexin and his brother wanted to meet the queen mother, they had to follow Qi Haoning. However, now Qi Haoning has long been alienated from them and is no longer the foolish boy who used to regard them as close relatives.

"Mom, do you think of a solution? Mom is the smartest. Xin'er really doesn't like those fools and crooked people, and they are all illegitimate." Qi Yuexin took Concubine Zhao's hand and acted coquettish.

A maid next to her lowered her head and curled her lips secretly. The eldest lady seemed to have forgotten that she was also a concubine. Concubine Zhao was just a temporary housekeeper. Once the prince married the prince's concubine, Concubine Zhao could only obediently hand over the housekeeper's authority.

Concubine Zhao and his son were always domineering in the mansion, as if this could undermine their "side room" and "popularity" status. However, they did not know that the servants who were timid and respectful in front of them were sneering behind their backs.

Since Qi Haoning got away from them, the servants in the mansion have become indifferent to their awe of them. Most of them are just superficial skills. How many of them are loyal to them? After all, the concubine is not a serious mistress, but just a concubine with higher status. Besides, who doesn’t know that the Empress Dowager doesn’t like them? If people at present don’t even have this little bit of vision, they won’t know how they die.

Concubine Zhao was also stabbed by her daughter's words "It's all illegitimate". A hint of bitterness flashed through her heart. She didn't want illegitimate, but Qi Yuexin was originally a illegitimate daughter.

Originally, because she was in charge and Qi Haoning was close to them, and with the first-class status of Prince Yong's mansion, Qi Yuexin had no problem marrying a legitimate son of a noble family, or even the eldest son of a legitimate son, but now...

That day, one of hers was away from Beijing for many years and followed her husband to work in another place and handed her handkerchief to the royal palace to see her. She realized that there was a legend outside that the empress dowager did not trust her, so she left Princess Yue to raise her in Cining Palace. Now, even Prince Ning's yard does not allow her mother and son to enter and exit.

Although these are facts, she was still so angry that she vomited blood. With these rumors, even those concubines could not accept Qi Yuexin.

Qi Yuexin was not too stupid. She soon discovered that her mother's expression had changed and said coquettishly: "Mom, I am not interested in those dandy sons. She is only good at spending money and has no other skills. Mom, Mr. Ruan is a talented man. He will definitely be able to make great achievements and help Xiang'er in the future, right? Mom. Think of a way and let the second brother ask the emperor and grandmother to give us a marriage."

The mother and daughter were talking, and Zhao's mother, the dowry mother of Concubine Zhao, hurried in: "Master, the Empress Dowager Shunzi, who is beside the Empress Dowager, has come to pass on the imperial edict, and is to give marriage to the prince and the girl from the Yongping Marquis' Mansion. The prince is receiving the imperial edict in the front yard."

With a "bang", the teacup on Concubine Zhao's hand fell to the ground. The empress dowager was so quick. She had been setting up here for several months, but Qi Haoning had not even entered the game, so the empress dowager gave her a marriage. It was still difficult to deal with.

When the three brothers and sisters of the Yongping Marquis' Mansion were still helpless orphans, they could get rid of their clan and ruin their reputation by scheming their uncles, uncles, and even Murong Mansion. How could it be simple?

At that time, Xia Ruoxue, the second wife of Duke Anguo Mansion, was so glorious and versatile. As a result, because of plotting against the three brothers and sisters, they ended up being reunited and even were driven out of the clan by the Xia family. It is said that Xia Shuyao is still a famous person with deep blessings...

Now, the Yongping Marquis Mansion is even more powerful. Xia Shuyao came into the door and became the prince's concubine, who is the serious mistress of the royal palace. Where can she have a concubine?

Concubine Zhao decided that the Empress Dowager gave Xia Shuyao to Qi Haoning, which was just to suppress her.

Qi Yuexin felt that her mother was too terrible. What kind of ability could she have? She was just better off and had a great elder brother. But no matter how powerful her elder brother and adoptive father were, she could still interfere in the housework of Prince Yong’s mansion? As long as she was delicious and she would be able to provide food and drink for her, wouldn’t she treat her badly?

Concubine Zhao smiled bitterly. If she was Prince Yong now, everything would be easy to say. Whether it was her second wife or her concubine, she would be Qi Haoning's legitimate mother, and she would also be able to speak. She could also make a fuss about her new wife with justification.

But now she is just a concubine's mother, and she is still a concubine's mother who is not favored by the prince and is suppressed by the empress dowager.

If Qi Haoning had helped her before, maybe she could have some tricks of disagreement. Now Qi Haoning would only let Xia Shuyao be careful, right?

Moreover, there is a smart Xia Shuyao, and Qi Haoning is even more difficult to plot against.

Qi Yuexin was still disdainful: "How can she, a city girl, know so much? Then you will just take it. Give her a warning first, and she won't dare to say anything."

Concubine Zhao sighed: "What do you know? The raising mother next to Xia Shuyao is the raising mother from Kunning Palace. She was raised by the raising mother at the age of six. She doesn't know what you know? Even if she doesn't know, is the raising mother in the palace that looks good?"

Qi Yuexin then turned red and shut up. What about Xia Shuyao, who is really a good life, is Gong Yang Madam? She doesn't have the eldest daughter of Prince Yong.

Zhao's mother comforted, "Don't panic, my master, Miss Xia from the Yongping Marquis' Mansion is only 13 years old, so it takes two years to get married. Two years later, isn't the prince really close to women? The cousins ​​still have a great chance."

Concubine Zhao's eyes lit up. Yes, she is too pessimistic. A lot of things can happen in two years. Maybe she will get a concubine out first. Xia Shuyao was suppressed before entering the door. See what momentum there is?

"Let's go and congratulate you brother." Concubine Zhao stood up. Now Qi Yuexin's marriage is asking for Qi Haoning, and she has to please her first.

Mother Zhao hurriedly stopped him: "Master, you...you have forgotten that the rules set by the prince are not set by you. There is no special reason. In the side room of the prince's mansion, the concubine's children cannot go to the front yard to participate in receiving the imperial edict, and the imperial edict is the imperial edict."

The special reason is that the imperial edict passed down is to a certain side room, a concubine's child, or to be related to each master in the royal palace.

Concubine Zhao was dizzy and shook her body. After so many years of taking charge of the gift, she was used to treating herself as the mistress of the royal palace. Moreover, the royal palace has not received the order for many years, and it is also the empress dowager's oral order. It is either to sell the body contract or set various rules for Zhiyuanyuan, which are used to restrain and suppress her. (To be continued.
