Chapter Ninety-Eight: Appreciation

The third princess didn't expect that her own unintentional move would make the Xiaolin family fall in love.

After she took Situ Jin away, she exchanged some experience with Situ Jiao.

The third princess also borrowed Situ Yang's horse and had a round of competition with Situ Jiao.

Although Situ Jiao's riding and archery skills are not exquisite, they are already superior to those delicate girls in the capital, and even higher than the third princess who is almost three years older than her.

It's just that Situ Jiao didn't completely show her own ability in the competition with the third princess, after all, she is only twelve years old now, and she is too bewitching, but not beautiful.

In this way, Situ Jiao's performance still won a lot of praise from the third princess.

"Thank you, cousin." Returning the reins to Situ Yang, the third princess thanked Situ Yang very politely and generously.

"The princess is gracious." Situ Yang's face was a little red, and while saying kind words to the third princess, he took the reins and handed them over to the chess player, with a gentle face and courtesy.

"Although my cousin's riding and archery is not exquisite, it is really not weak, and tomorrow's riding and archery event will definitely not be weak." The third princess made a pertinent evaluation of Situ Jiao's riding and shooting.

"To borrow the princess's auspicious words, Situ Jiao does not seek to be crowned by the crowd, but hopes not to pollute people's eyes." Situ Jiaoyan smiled.

Originally, Situ Jiao was going to invite the third princess to Meiyuan to dine with them, but the third princess politely declined, it was not easy for her to go out of the palace once, but now that the affairs of the Hou Mansion have been completed, she still has some personal matters to do.

"My aunt won't bother the palace today, please apologize to my aunt on behalf of my cousin, and when I am free in this palace, I will visit my aunt again." Han's body is not good, and the three princesses have not had many opportunities to come to the Hou Mansion in the past, and they have not met Han a few times, but the three princesses will naturally not be less polite, so they are polite again.

Seeing that the third princess really seemed to have something to do, Situ Jiao didn't want to stay long. The two made an appointment to meet again on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The third princess left the Hou Mansion without getting enough of it but did her own private affairs, and when she returned to the palace, she naturally had to report to her mother.

"Is that kid really as good as you say?" Concubine Hui listened to the details of what the third princess would see and hear in the Hou Mansion today, and asked with some disbelieving.

It's no wonder that Concubine Hui doesn't believe it. There are so many noble girls in Kyoto, and there are not many people who can be appreciated by the third princess, not to mention that Situ Jiao was still sent to another courtyard to be taken care of by a few maids at birth!

How good and outstanding she can be, she can be favored by the third princess with a very high vision.

"When did my daughter tell a lie. Jiaojiao's cousin really fits her daughter's eyes, and she is many times better than the arrogant and pampered Situ Jin! That kind of girl is really worthy of the identity of Miss Anning Hou's Mansion! As soon as the third princess's words came out, a trace of inexplicable sentimentality flashed on Concubine Hui's face, but she concealed it very well, and the third princess did not notice Concubine Hui's emotional changes.

It's no wonder that Concubine Hui will change her face, although she doesn't look down on Situ Jin, but who made Concubine Hui herself just a concubine of the Marquis of Anning's mansion!

The identity of the concubine is a hard wound and pain in Concubine Hui's heart that can never be erased, and it is also the reason why her position has been staying on the concubine position for more than ten years and cannot go up.

Even if the saint loves her again, he can't make an exception for her. Unless she can create another little prince for the Holy One.

At the thought of having another child, Concubine Hui's eyes were out of focus.

It stands to reason that her health is good, when she gave birth to the third princess, she neither had a difficult birth nor hurt her body, and she has been well maintained over the years, but since she gave birth to the third princess, she has not been able to conceive a child again in these years, and the harem has a little princess and a little prince born from time to time.

Concubine Hui didn't think so much about it before, there were more women who had no heirs in the palace, and there were still people who couldn't get the favor of the saint when they were old. White bears the identity of a harem beauty.

Speaking of which, since Concubine Hui entered the palace, she has been in constant favor, and she has a smart and well-behaved third princess by her side, and she is a little concubine of the Anning Hou Mansion. To have today's status is considered to be a complete merit in the eyes of others.

It's just that when she thinks of Chen Guifei, who is two years older than her and already has a son and a daughter, and now that there is a happy pulse, Concubine Hui's heart will swell with inexplicable irritability and congestion from time to time.

What's more, every time I see the concubine, I will always stab her with strange words. Let her have as many hearts as she wants.

Shouldn't she find a good hand in gynecology?

"Mother? Mother? The third princess's sudden call in a raised voice woke up Concubine Hui who was sinking into her imagination, and her blank gaze turned to the third princess, and the anxious and concerned look on the third princess's face finally made Concubine Hui's eyes focused.

"Mother, what is wrong with you?" The third princess asked with concern.

"The mother concubine is fine, but her head suddenly remembered something. The concubine is tired, you go back to your own palace. Concubine Hui stretched out her hand and rubbed her horns, and then gently touched the third princess's head, and her face showed a little tiredness.

"But the concubine Niangniang made a stumbling block for the mother concubine again?" The third princess understood two or three points in a blink of an eye.

"No, don't speculate. You only take care of yourself, and the mother concubine is really fine, but she is a little tired. Concubine Hui naturally didn't tell the third princess what she thought in her heart, but just urged the third princess to go back to her own palace.

"Mother, the daughter is not young anymore, she can share the worries and solve problems for the mother, the mother concubine only has one daughter, what is there that she can't tell her daughter?" The third princess is about to be killed, and she has seen a lot in the harem, where would she not know the battle between the women of the harem, naturally she is not so easy to fool, and she just won't let go of Concubine Hui's arm.

"Alas......" Concubine Hui sighed, just wordlessly stroking the third princess's hair.

"Mother, would it be good for you to give birth to a younger brother for your daughter?" The mother and daughter leaned on their heads quietly, and suddenly the words of the third princess startled Concubine Hui, and one was accidentally choked by her own saliva and coughed violently.

The third princess hurriedly calmed Concubine Hui's breath, and the grandmother who was waiting on the side also hurriedly poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Concubine Hui.

Before Concubine Hui's coughing subsided, a breathless voice came from outside: "What's wrong with Hui Niang?" ”

Concubine Hui's name is Situ Hui, and there is no second person who can call Concubine Hui like this except for Emperor Xuanyuan Sheng of Nanling.

With the sound of the curtain swaying, a thirty-six or seventeen-year-old middle-aged man came in, dignified, not angry and self-assured, although the figure is a little slightly fat, but it is quite right, the bright yellow palace robe is lined with people extremely spiritual, the person who came is the Nanling Emperor, the father of the third princess Xuanyuan Sheng.

"Nothing, nothing. His Majesty came, but no one reported it, and these palace people became more and more lazy. Concubine Hui glanced half-truthfully at the palace people outside.

"This is a grievance against the palace people, I didn't let them report it." Xuanyuan Sheng held Concubine Hui, who was about to give her a gift, and didn't let her bow down. (To be continued.) )
