In front of everyone, being held by him, Xu Wan was really a little shy. Nodding slightly, he said, "Hard-working husband welcomes guests." ”

Seeing that she was shy, Wu Zhengxiang opened his hand lightly and whispered in her ear: "For the sake of the lady, for the husband I don't feel hard." ”

Xu Wenmin, who was on the side, saw the interaction between the two of them in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel relieved. The first time he saw Wu Zhengxiang in Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs, he thought this person was good.

As it turned out, he was not wrong.

The people have arrived, led by Xu Changzong, and the descendants of the Xu family saluted Mrs. Xu on her birthday.

"Son/daughter-in-law/granddaughter/grandson-in-law/grandson/granddaughter-in-law congratulate mother/grandmother, as blessed as the East China Sea and Shoubi Nanshan!"

Now, the Xu family reunion and heirs are extended, and they gather together to pay homage to Mrs. Xu's birthday, which makes her heart bloom.

Let everyone get up, Mrs. Xu picked up the wine glass, said a toast, and the birthday banquet officially began. The guests raised their glasses one after another to congratulate Mrs. Xu on her birthday.

The gongs and drums on the stage started again, and this time the story of "Five Women's Birthday" was also well-known to the people, and the atmosphere suddenly reached a climax.

Xu Wanzhen sat down with Wu Zhengxiang, looking at such a lively and festive celebration, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Who would have expected that the Xu family, who sold all their family property to Beijing back then, would have such a grand occasion?

Wu Zhengxiang said in a low voice: "Wanzhen, don't worry, when you are old, there will be so many children and grandchildren to congratulate you on your birthday." ”

Xu Wanzhen glanced at him, and the style of his eyes was very hot.

……

This side is festive and lively, but in the prince's mansion, Concubine Yao has fallen into a two-year decision.

Because of Mrs. Yao's request, she retreated, but heard such an astonishing remark. She was so surprised that her gorgeous face was a little deformed.

"Mother, you're driving me to death."

She has always respected this mother-in-law. Without Mrs. Yao, there would be no Concubine Yao today. Mrs. Yao had never asked her for anything, but this first request filled her eyes with tears.

"Sixth sister is confused, are you also confused?" She looked at Mrs. Yao with a sincere expression and said, "Mother, why don't you persuade her." ”

Mrs. Yao looked depressed, how could she say the reason behind this?

Could it be that she wants to say that Yao Zhiyue knew that she killed Aunt Jiang, the biological mother of Concubine Yao, in order to persecute her?

Sighing, Mrs. Yao said, "She said that if she had to marry Quan Shilang, she would rather die." You say, I finally raised such a daughter, do I have to watch her die? ”

Mrs. Yao only has one biological daughter, Yao Zhiyue, and Concubine Yao also knows that her mother-in-law dotes on her. However, is it necessary to sacrifice another person's life for the sake of Yao Zhiyue's life?

"Mother," Concubine Yao tried her best to persuade her, "even if I promise you, this thing can't be done." ”

"She is a dignified second young lady, and I am just a side concubine in the prince's mansion. With such a huge disparity in status, how do you ask me to start? Once the incident happens, where can my daughter's life be saved. ”

But Mrs. Yao came here with all the considerations, how could she be easily convinced.

She was extremely cold about Yao Zhiyue's coercion, but after thinking about it, there was only one way to go. In order to keep her powerful position in Shangshu Mansion and Yao Zhiyue's wishes, she had to be ruthless again.

"The crown prince is about to triumph. At that time, there will be a big celebration in the palace. In order to win people's hearts, the prince will definitely hold a banquet in the mansion and feast the heroes. The daughter of the martial family will definitely arrive. ”

Xungui and Wenchen have never intersected, even if Mrs. Yao wants to attack Xu Wanzhen, she doesn't have this opportunity. It's not that she hasn't thought about buying murder, but she may be able to deal with others, but she has no chance at all for Xu Wanzhen, who is closely guarded by her side.

At the beginning, Wen Mulan came to pass the word on the order of Wu Zhengxiang, but she inquired about her identity afterwards and learned that it was the female guard next to Xu Wanzhen.

Mrs. Yao has some selfish means in the back house, but it is almost impossible to get out of the back house to deal with Xu Wanzhen. Moreover, it is easy to leak the news of buying a murderer, and she can't find such a skilled person.

And the celebration banquet held in the Prince's Mansion was her only chance.

When Mrs. Yao figured this out, she decisively came to see Concubine Yao.

"When the time comes, just give her a little chronic poison in the tea. She returned to the Zhongguo Mansion before she died, and she didn't know it, who knew who did it? ”

Mrs. Yao is sure, but this matter cannot be done without the cooperation of Concubine Yao. There will inevitably be many guests at the celebration banquet, and it is not easy to make that cup of tea only be drunk by Xu Wanzhen.

"Even if he Wu Zhengxiang wants to investigate, can he find out the prince's mansion?"

Mrs. Yao talked eloquently, and Concubine Yao looked stunned. It was only at this point that she was finally sure that her grandmother was not joking. She was serious about murdering Xu Wanzhen's life.

"Mother," Concubine Yao heard her tone be astringent, and she tried her last effort to say, "Even if she dies, will the sixth sister be able to get her wish fulfilled?" I've seen him and he's not that easy to fool around. ”

Some time ago, it was still the palace of the king of Qi at that time.

Princess Qi set up a banquet to invite the Wu family to visit, and she saw with her own eyes that Wu Zhengxiang was really doting on Xu Wan and disdainful of Yao Zhiyue. thought that Yao Zhiyue would stop after this blow and accept her fate to marry, but she didn't expect her to become even more serious.

Mrs. Yao didn't answer, and the tone changed, and she said, "Brother Chong'er is five years old now, right?" ”

Concubine Yao didn't understand what she meant, and nodded.

"The crown prince is about to triumph, and his position will be as stable as Mount Tai when he comes back this time." As the wife of the secretary of the military department, Mrs. Yao also knows a thing or two about the court.

She lowered her voice, "The Holy Lord is getting old, and when the crown prince ascends the throne, you will be one of the four concubines." ”

In the prince's mansion, there are not many wives and concubines. There are only two children, the crown princess and Concubine Yao, and the others are not to worry.

Regarding what Mrs. Yao said, since King Qi was made the crown prince, Concubine Yao has thought about it countless times in her heart. With her birth and cultivation skills and the status of her mother's family, the crown prince canonized the harem after ascending the throne, and she must be the fourth concubine.

Every time she thought of this, she felt her heart pound and pop. When she carefully learned the rules and curried favor with Mrs. Yao, she never thought that one day she would become the fourth concubine in the palace.

But this dream, she only dared to think about it in her heart, and never dared to declare it.

Hearing Mrs. Yao say this, she hurriedly looked around vigilantly, but she didn't hear any movement, and then she said softly, "Mother, are you crazy?" Is this kind of thing okay to say casually?! ”

This kind of thought is tantamount to looking forward to the early return of the Holy One to the West. It's a great sin to think about it, let alone say it. If she is heard by the princess's people, how should she live in the palace?
