The book continued, Ximen Xiaoman watched the unruly Leng Rujin walk away, the figure had already disappeared in the bustling crowd when she slowly withdrew her gaze, she was the first time to have face-to-face contact with Rujin, she had only heard of it, knowing that she was a non-inferior character, but also because of her infatuation with Ximen Yonghao in Xiao Man's opinion, this is a dead-eyed person, Xiao Man has fantasized about her appearance many times, but now I see it more rebellious than he imagined. Heart, you are just a mountain village girl, what pride can you speak of? But what Rujin showed in front of her was a look of arrogance, her kind of arrogance flowed out of her bones, standing in front of her, she was a dignified lady of the General's Mansion who was ashamed of it, I really didn't expect a mountain village girl to have such an aura, Xiao Man couldn't help but think of the princess when she saw Rujin, in her opinion, if she was just a show girl from a poor family, what qualifications did she have to take over her aunt's position as the mistress of the palace, An Wanruo's innate nobility and innocence and arrogance in his bones still completely conquered the blessed king who had sworn that he only loved Xuanxuan in this life and this life, and let him be the late Xuanxuan is mountain alliance Although it is here, it is difficult to trust the brocade book. Leng Rujin and Wanruo are almost similar to arrogance although they are both from a poor family, but now they are just arrogant, and all of them are not only high and cold, but also have unparalleled talents in the world and luxury that is not commensurate with her background.

Ximen Xiaoman stood in the alley and was stunned for a long time, then came back to his senses, walked out of the alley with the maid Xiaolan, and continued to shuttle casually in the lively street market.

After noon, Xiao Man returned to Ximen's house, all the way she was thinking about whether her brother should go to meet Leng Rujin, and then thought about it and arrived home, Xiao Man just stepped into the threshold of the General's Mansion, and the housekeeper greeted her, "My eldest lady, you are back, the concubine Niangniang has arrived, and she is in the main hall, you go over to see the ceremony." The housekeeper saw that Xiao Man came back, so he complained a little.

"Concubine Niangniang." After hearing this, Ximen Xiaoman was stunned, and there was a noble concubine in their family, that is, the aunt Ximen Ruoying, but as early as more than a year ago, because of the big trouble in the court and the palace, the emperor was deposed as Zhaoyi, but why did he throw out a noble concubine Niangniang today, could it be that the aunt was re-promoted? The housekeeper saw that Ximen Xiaoman was stunned, and saw through her thoughts at a glance, so he hurriedly explained with a smile; "Because the queen mother is sick and can't lead the harem, and there is no suitable person to manage the harem in this harem, so the long live lord issued an order yesterday to let our noble concubine come out to temporarily replace the queen mother to lead the harem."

Ximen Xiaoman only understood when he heard this, "I see, then I will change my clothes and go to see the concubine immediately." Xiao Man took the maid towards the back house with a happy face, and it didn't take much effort for Xiao Man to change his number into a formal suit and then took the maid to the front hall.

At this time, Mrs. Ximen was chatting with the concubine Ximen Ruoying, who had just resumed her original position, in the main hall, and Ximen Yonghao and Chen Yingying were accompanying each other. How could this Simon Ruoying be remembered by the emperor again? It turned out that the emperor abolished the position of Ximen Ruoying's concubine was purely helpless, at that time, Ximen Ruoying made a big fuss in the court and the palace, and the king of Fu was pressing, the emperor knew that Ximen Ruoying's style was inappropriate, and if he did not deal with it, it would cause public anger, so he had to demote Ximen Ruoying from the concubine to Zhaoyi, and moved out of Fengyi Palace. Coincidentally, this time Empress Xiao was ill and could not handle the internal affairs of the harem, so the emperor seized this opportunity and ordered the promotion of Ximen Ruoying as a concubine, moving from the original Lower West Hall to Jingyang Palace, temporarily replacing the queen to lead the harem. Although Ximen Ruoying is not favored by the emperor, if she is still a dignified concubine, it will definitely be a tiger for the Ximen family, and now that Empress Xiao is sick, Ruoying really has real power in the harem, then their Ximen family can have the right to internal affairs in the real sense.

"Xiao Man, see the concubine Niangniang." Ximen Xiaoman slowly came to Ximen Ruoying, and bowed down.

Concubine Ximen pulled her niece up with a smile on her face, "Xiao Man doesn't need so many courtesies for his own family." ”

Ximen Xiaoman sat down next to Yonghao and Yingying, she subconsciously looked at her aunt Ximen Ruoying who was sitting on the top and hung her head, although she was over thirty, she was still radiant, and she was graceful and luxurious with a jeweled spirit, although she was not favored, but she still had the domineering spirit of the heroine. Since Ximen Ruoying was deposed as Zhaoyi, she has not returned to Ximen's house, she is proud by nature, think about the original she was a concubine out of the Ximen family, who would have thought that she would fall from a concubine to Zhaoyi, this concubine is the highest in the hierarchy of the harem concubines under the queen, the harem is divided into four ladies outside the queen, nine concubines, and these four ladies are concubines, concubines, concubines, virtuous concubines, and nine concubines, they are concubines, Zhaoyi, nobles, epilogue, graceful, Zhaorong, Yunyi, Yunhua talents. This Ximen Ruoying suddenly fell from the concubine of the first of the four ladies to Zhaoyi, who was among the nine concubines, and she had no face to see her family, so it was usually the people of the Ximen family who entered the palace to see her, but she never returned to the Ximen family, and she regained the throne of the imperial concubine by herself, and this time she also grasped the real power of the harem, so she wanted to go back to her mother's house in a beautiful way.

"Xiaoman, where have you been?" Mrs. Simon saw that her daughter was late, so she complained.

Ximen Xiaoman blinked, and said calmly; "I've wandered around the street a few times, and if I had known that the concubine would have returned, I wouldn't have gone out."

Ximen Ruoying kept staring at the peach-faced, energetic girl sitting opposite her, and couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, "Xiaoman, you are everyone's best girl, and you will enter the palace as a princess in the future, don't always show up, this will not have a good impact." Concubine Ximen taught her niece a serious lesson.

Simon Xiaoman nodded, extremely reluctantly; "The lesson of the concubine is that I will not run around outside in the future, and I will definitely strive to become a fair lady like my sister-in-law as soon as possible."

Chen Yingying saw that Xiao Man had pulled the words to herself, her face was slightly red, and she slowly lowered her head. "You have to study hard with Yingying, although I didn't get along with Yingying much, but when she followed Yonghao into the palace for the first time, I decided at a glance that this is definitely a gentle and virtuous, well-informed and reasonable girl, also from the family of military generals, Xiaoman, you and Yingying are still very different, learn more from Yingying in the future." Ximen Ruoying lowered her eyes from her niece to her niece Chen Yingying, who was silent and blushing, her face couldn't hide her satisfaction with Yingying, she felt that Yonghao needed such a virtuous and virtuous woman to accompany her, she also knew that the prince of the East Palace was weak and lacked the domineering spirit of the emperor, he definitely didn't like a woman with a personality like Xiaoman, just like the current emperor didn't like himself, Ximen Ruoying saw the shadow of his youth from Xiaoman's body, too domineering and willful, lacking a little bit of tenderness, She hopes that her niece can be favored when she goes to the prince's side, instead of having an empty position like herself, and no favor, a woman who marries into the emperor's family, if she has no favor and no children, she is doomed to a lifetime of sorrow. Ximen Ruoying understands her sorrow, the reason why she can still be remembered by the emperor is because of the huge Ximen family behind her, and now the emperor and King Fu are separated, fighting openly and secretly, and King Fu has brought the Xiao family over, so the emperor naturally wants to win over their Ximen family, which is well known to Concubine Ximen.

……

Ximen Guifei stayed at Ximen's house for a while before driving back to the palace, and after seeing off the concubine's Luan, the people of Ximen's family returned to the mansion and went back, while Ximen Xiaoman pulled her brother Yonghao to her own room.

After coming to the room, Xiao Man hurriedly closed the door, and asked the maid Xiaolan to guard outside, telling no one to come close for half a step.

Ximen Yonghao saw that his sister looked mysterious, so he was very suspicious, "Xiaoman, what are you doing?" Could it be that there is something particularly secret to sue me? Yonghao looked at his sister with a warm smile on his face, and his eyes were full of pity that he couldn't hide.

Ximen Xiaoman nodded and whispered to Yonghao; "Brother, I met Leng Rujin on the street, she has something important to tell you, I didn't want to be with you, I didn't want you to have too much entanglement with that woman, but you once treated me She is your inner response to stay with the Leng family sisters, your Leng family should have something to do with the palace, and the palace also caught a person named Sha Boliu who traveled thousands of miles from Loulan in the Western Regions to the Central Plains to find a woman named Ning Yulian who looks similar to the princess, you are especially useful for us to move to King Fu, I think since that's the case, then tell you about it, I know that the woman is just entangled with you in this way, but now I can't manage so much for our Ximen family, and now my aunt's family has regained the throne of the concubine, and has mastered the real power of the harem, which is very beneficial to our Ximen family, I hope that this queen mother will have the best life, then maybe the aunt will be able to become the mistress of Zhaoyang Palace, then the crown prince will not become her adopted son, anyway, the current queen is not the crown prince's qinniang. At the end of the day, Ximen Xiaoman's pink fist was clenched tightly, with a trace of cold light in his eyes, and a touch of ferocity and cruelty that did not match her identity revealed between her eyebrows.

After listening to his sister's words for a long time, Ximen Yonghao didn't speak, he hid back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, "I'll go to see Rujin at night, I think she must have something new to tell me, I have placed in the fire dragon stack and the palace of envy has reported that I have a beautifully dressed woman entered the palace yesterday, but soon came out, they followed all the way to see the woman into the fire dragon stack, and never came out again, I think the woman must be as cold as a fairy, and she actually entered and exited the palace in a grand manner, It can be seen that her relationship with the royal palace is average. I have lived in the General's Mansion for a long time now, and I don't know much about the things on the rivers and lakes, but I am not, so I am very carefree outside, Xiaoman, you can rest assured that I will be measured
