Xu heard about it at dinner yesterday. At that time, he was so anxious that he couldn't eat, so he threw the bowl and went to the splendid room.

After Qin Jinxiu found out, he was so shocked that he was like five thunderbolts, and he just sat there in a daze for a while.

The queen's desire to choose a concubine for the crown prince was first mentioned at the palace banquet at the beginning of the year.

At the palace banquet, the princes of the court and the female relatives of the clan relatives were there. When the emperor was talking to Qin Zhili, the marquis of Qingrong, the empress on the side asked with a smile: "How old is the daughter of the marquis of Qingrong?" ”

Qin Zhili no longer remembered Qin Jinyi, who was thousands of miles away, and only replied respectfully to the queen's mother according to her splendid age: "The little girl is fourteen years old this year. ”

After hearing this, the queen thought for a moment, and said to the emperor with a smile: "Wei'er is sixteen, and it is time to choose a concubine for him." ”

A month later, it was reported in the palace that the prince was about to choose a concubine, and he was selected among the school-age nobles in the family of the nobles, and in the list of primary selections, Qin Jinxiu, the daughter of the Marquis of Qingrong, was listed first.

When Xu Shi learned the news, the whole person who was surprised was stupid. I don't know how my daughter won the favor of the queen, thinking that my daughter will have a day in the world of motherhood, I am so happy that I can't sleep for a few days.

Qin Jinxiu has been a little arrogant since she was a child, and when she learned the news, she was calmer than her mother. I only feel that I have this nobility in my life, so I don't live up to my flower and moon appearance and my dignified and polite heart since childhood.

Although there are many people on the list of concubines for the first time, there are very few whose family backgrounds are comparable to Qin Jinxiu. After all, the crown prince is still young, the emperor is in the middle of his life, and he is in good health, and if he says something taboo in private, if he wants the prince to ascend the throne, I am afraid it will be at least ten years later. Therefore, the powerful ministers of the DPRK and China are still secretly watching and do not send the name of their daughter to the selection.

It is precisely because of this that the Xu mother and daughter have a heart to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and after thinking about it, they begged Qingrong Hou to bring back Jinyi, who was far away in Shangxiutang, and serve his daughter in the future.

Qin Zhili didn't have much idea about Jinyi, but it was dispensable. Therefore, after listening to Xu's request, he didn't think much about it, so he agreed.

Xu and Qin Jinxiu woke up when they heard that Huan Yanyan was also going to participate in the selection of concubines, and they woke up when they dreamed of being the queen for almost a year. Zhenguo Gong is now deeply respected by the emperor in the court, and his power is unmatched for a while, and he is faintly a position above 10,000 people under one person.

How could Qin Jinxiu be able to defeat Huan Yanyan?

Xu thought for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said to his daughter: "It's the side concubine, it's also good!" ”

Qin Jinxiu's eyes widened when she heard this, she almost couldn't believe her ears, she couldn't help but rush out of her mouth, "You used to be a concubine, is it possible that your daughter only has the life of being a concubine?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu's face was like ashes, and he only looked at his daughter blankly. After a while, tears flowed from his eyes, "You...... Do you dislike me? ”

Jinxiu was speechless for a while, unable to speak, but in her heart she was reluctant in every way. She still remembers that when she was a child, her mother was just a concubine, and she wanted to call the woman from the Western Regions her mother, but she could only call her biological mother "Aunt Xu". Qin Jinyi, who had a pair of pale purple eyes, was the darling in the eyes of everyone in the mansion. And she is just a dispensable concubine.

She was unwilling, and secretly swore an oath at a young age - "never be a concubine with anyone".

Later, her mother was straightened, and she also became Miss Yan. In the past nine years, she has not been glad for a day, glad that the woman from the Western Regions is dead, otherwise she will never be able to be the concubine of the Marquis of Qingrong, she will not be taken seriously, and she can't even be ranked in the genealogy, she can only be called Qin Xiu.

Xu Shi wiped away the tears on his face, his feelings gradually calmed down, and a cold smile faintly wiped on his lips, "Whether you can be the main room depends on your own means, not resigned to fate......"

Seeing the doubts on her daughter's face, she said again: "Huan Yanyan is only twelve years old this year, even if she is the main concubine, what if you are the side concubine?" As long as your heart is ruthless enough......"

Xu Shi stared at his daughter tightly, and word by word quietly oozed from her thin red lips: "The concubine is gone, you are the concubine......"

Qin Jinxiu was stunned, she looked at her mother without blinking.

Slowly, his face showed a sudden expression.

She lowered her eyes quietly, throwing away the last trace of unwillingness in her heart.

When Xu saw Jinyi's means of healing the old lady, hope rose in his heart. If there is such a person who understands medicine and medicine by Jinxiu's side, it is really like divine help.

But what does it take to keep her in control?

Xu's heart turned around, but there was nothing he could do for a while. But now I can only try to be good friends with her first, but fortunately, the texture of the clothes that day made Guilan bear the guilt. I can't say it now, so I'd better win her over first.

Thinking about it, he quietly stepped forward with a smile on his face, took Jinyi's hand with a smile, and praised vigorously, "Sister Yi is really Lan Xinhui, wonderful hands and benevolent heart, I didn't expect that our family actually had a miracle doctor, look at how mysterious this ear acupuncture is, just like this, you can cure the disease." ”

He leaned over to the old lady's couch and asked Hou softly, "Old ancestor, will this be much better?" Our sister is really filial and capable. ”

Jin Yi listened to her flattery a little too much, and she inevitably disdained it in her heart, but she didn't say anything, just smiled politely.

The old lady is clear in her heart, and she also knows that most of the children born to the original lady have a grudge in their hearts. I also know that Xu's family wants Jinyi to help Jinxiu, although she is a little helpless, but seeing that she is affectionate to Jinyi, after all, it is also a good thing, and he smiled in response to her words, "Yes, Sister Yi is filial and gentle." ”

Jin Yi chuckled, didn't answer, and only said to Old Madam Qin: "Ancestor, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look and make you some medicinal food." If you eat well, your granddaughter will be eating all the food these days. ”

Saying that, without waiting for Old Madam Qin to object, she walked out with Qiao Wei and Cai Jing.

Seeing that she couldn't stop her, Old Madam Qin liked her more and more, and sighed to Xu, "Second daughter-in-law, Sister Yi is really a poor child, I really can't bear to let her enter the palace as an official." You can discuss this matter with the second child and see if there is any other way. Or let's go outside and find another capable and shrewd one, and follow the splendid in the future. ”

Xu secretly gritted his teeth and was ruthless, Qin Jinyi is now coaxing the old lady's heart to be hot, and the old lady is supporting her, how can she be willing to do things for Xiu'er with her heart.

If there is no old lady to interfere, she can only obey her own arrangements in everything at home, so that it is possible to do her best.

Xu suppressed the thoughts in his heart, but said crisply, "What the ancestor said is that I am also reluctant to enter the palace according to my sister, and I will persuade her father in this matter." ”

When Old Madam Qin heard this, she knew that she was just coping with it, so she had to sigh secretly, and her face was not revealed.
