"Why did you ask to see this palace?" The queen said slowly with a pinch of breath.

"This, courtier, courtier, courtier, is here for the marriage between Xian'er and His Royal Highness the Prince, Xian'er is seventeen this year, and she is not young, Niangniang, look at this...... The general now has no military power, he is idle at home, and the general's mansion is cold, if there is no happy event to support, the general's mansion will decline. The courtiers were anxious, so they entered the palace to see the mother. ”

Huo Qingqing wiped his tears with a handkerchief as he spoke, and did not mention that the prince wanted to marry Jiang Duyan and enter the mansion as a side concubine.

"Niangniang, the general fights at the border all the year round, and the children are all pulled by the courtiers, it has been too difficult these years."

As she spoke, she burst into tears, as if she had really poked at the sad place. Her strategy is to sell miserably to the end, so that the queen can't say anything about getting out of the marriage.

In the past, she and the queen were also people who could talk to each other, and when the queen saw her crying hard, she immediately touched her own sadness, and it was easy for her in this harem?

Before entering the palace, the mother and daughter discussed it, seeing that Huo Qingqing was crying a lot, Su Yuxian's tears also came as soon as she said it, knelt down to Huo Qingqing's side, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Mother, don't be too sad, so as not to hurt your body, it's all your daughter's bad and you have to worry about it, my daughter has done a lot of ridiculous things, but my daughter also had a hard time at that time." The daughter just wanted to, just wanted to hold the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Huo Qingqing wiped Su Yuxian's face with a handkerchief, and sniffed herself, "Okay, let's not be so rude in the main hall, wipe your tears, your mother and relatives know it, your heart for the prince can be seen from the sun and the moon, and you love your mother as much as your own mother." It's a pity, it's a pity, people with a heart are easy to be let down. ”

"Okay, okay, don't cry miserably there, it's easy for anyone in this world, even the emperor gets up early all day and is greedy all day long, and he is doing his best for the country and the people. This palace knows what you mean, and I believe that the eldest girl is devoted to the prince. ”

It can only be said that Su Yuxian's mother and daughter's acting skills are too exquisite, and they have been trained in the house for a long time, and the queen of her face can't help but hold the handkerchief and wipe the corners of her eyes.

The marriage contract between the prince and the general's mansion is often used as a good story among the people, and it is not easy to explain if the contract is broken like this, she thought about it and said: "However, in view of the bad reputation of your eldest girl, she is also spoiled by you and a little unreasonable, it is really difficult to hold the position of the main concubine. ”

As soon as she heard that it was just the position of the side concubine, Su Yuxian cried again, Huo Qingqing was also very unwilling, she had always been the crown prince and concubine, how could she suddenly become a side concubine, how could they accept it.

Huo Qingqing anxiously wanted to justify: "But the marriage contract ......"

The queen interrupted her with a wave of her hand. "The emperor knows that the eldest girl has a bad reputation, and the queen mother has also said a lot of whispers about the eldest girl in front of the palace, and the palace will go to the two of them, if they don't like it, the palace will have to say some good things and make some guarantees. If the palace directly approves the position of concubine, I am afraid that it will be difficult to face the emperor and the queen mother at that time. ”

The queen is also a master, in order to block Huo Qingqing's mouth, she directly moved out of the emperor and the queen mother, and she naturally couldn't agree to what they both disagreed with, otherwise she would have begged the emperor and the queen mother if she had the ability.

"This ......" Huo Qingqing had nothing to say, looking at Su Yuxian, who was crying and was about to faint, helpless.

"Okay, the eldest girl doesn't have the ability to be a concubine, as long as she keeps her duty, revolves around the prince, and thinks about the prince in everything, the prince will definitely love the eldest girl. Do you think that the position of the queen in this palace is easy to do, without power in your hands, it will be easier to be a favorite concubine. ”

The queen said this from the bottom of her heart, and she was also warning Su Yuxian that whether she could listen to it or not was her own creation.

"Yes, Xian'er remembered." Su Yuxian cried and kowtowed, but how could the unwillingness in her heart easily dissipate.

The mother and daughter left the palace, got into the carriage without saying a word, and returned to the palace in despair.

Su Yuxian made a big fuss again, but the matter was already decided, and it was useless for her to cry again, so she had to prepare the dowry carefully.

The prince learned that Su Yuxian's mother and daughter entered the palace and acted in front of the queen, which was equivalent to forcing the queen to agree to the marriage, and he was even more disgusted with Su Yuxian, he didn't want to pay attention to this marriage contract at all, anyway, Su Sui has no power now, and if he regrets the marriage, it will be ruined, and he doesn't dare to do anything.

The queen persuaded him again and asked him not to lose the hearts of the people, so he reluctantly reluctantly gave up. The queen went to tell the emperor and the queen mother about it the next day, the emperor didn't care, anyway, Su Sui didn't have any power now, and he wasn't afraid of Weng son-in-law uniting, the queen mother and the queen had the same meaning, if it wasn't for the fact that the world would laugh at her, she didn't want to get married at all, so she hastily set the time on the eighth day of the next month, and entered the door with the Jiang girl.

Su Yuxian cried and made a fuss again when she heard the news, the time was pressing, and she couldn't care about being sad, so she hurried to sort out the dowry that Huo Qingqing had prepared for her for many years.

Xiaocui told Su Wanyan everything, Su Wanyan was as she wished, and her mood was more comfortable, and she asked the little maid to go out of the mansion and bring some medicine to Jiang Duyan, so that she could use it to deal with Su Yuxian after entering the prince's mansion.

Soon it was the eighth day of the fourth month, my sister got married, Su Wanyan naturally wanted to help, but she was not needed at all, and the mother and daughter ignored her, she just watched from the sidelines, eager to make herself invisible, so as not to block the way of others and make people suspicious.

Su Yuxian got up before dawn to dress up, her wedding dress Huo Qingqing had also been prepared a long time ago, but it was red, and now Su Yuxian fell from the main concubine to the position of the side concubine, so she could only wear a pink wedding dress, Huo Qingqing had to help her prepare again, because the time was tight, and there were many unsatisfactory places.

Su Yuxian didn't know how many times she cried during the whole process, and she touched up her makeup many times, Huo Qingqing couldn't help but cry, and she wanted to comfort Su Yuxian.

When the time came to go out and say goodbye to his parents in the hall, Huo Qingqing was about to faint from crying, and Su Sui also shed a few tears, saying a lot of words telling Su Yuxian to abide by her duties and not to mess around.

Although the marriage was not so wishful, it was also ten miles of red makeup, beating gongs and drums all the way, and arrived at the prince's mansion neatly according to the side concubine's guard of honor, and carried the sedan chair into it from the side door, and directly into the cave room.

The prince's mansion was just dressed up a little, and in the middle of the afternoon, the prince came back and went directly into the backyard, and the bride stood at the gate of the courtyard to greet him and say some auspicious words.

The prince listened impatiently, so he directly asked Xi Niang Jiang Fang Concubine which courtyard she was in, Xi Niang had a rumor, and knew that the prince was more fond of Jiang Duyan, and his face did not change, and he directly brought people to Jiang Duyan's courtyard.

Jiang Duyan heard the maid say that the prince was coming, and she was both nervous and happy. The prince came in and took off the hijab, and the two of them got up in the cave in the daytime.

And Su Yuxian didn't have any news here, she sat on the edge of the bed until it was dark and didn't see the prince enter the door, she hadn't eaten for a day, and she was so hungry that she couldn't do it, so she asked the maid Xiaocui who came over to go out to investigate.

The first time Xiaocui was in the prince's mansion, she made some money, and when she learned that the prince had already returned to the mansion and entered Concubine Jiang's courtyard, she immediately came back to report, and she had to be careful when she spoke, for fear of provoking Su Yuxian to get angry.

Su Yuxian was so angry that she couldn't make a fuss on the first day, wouldn't it make people really laugh to death, so she had to swallow her anger and let Xiaocui take some money and follow the maid of the prince's mansion to pass the meal, and Huo Qingqing prepared some silver for her in advance.

The meals on the first day were made according to the rules, and they were the same on both sides, but Jiang Duyan was also eating at this time, and the prince was there, so he added a few more dishes.

After eating, Su Yuxian saw that there was no hope, so she bathed and rested quickly.

After that, for seven or eight days, the prince rested in Jiang Duyan's room, and Jiang Duyan's reputation in the mansion increased without her doing anything.

Before she entered the mansion, Su Wanyan wrote a letter to her, telling her that if she wanted to gain a firm foothold in the mansion, she had to buy people's hearts, especially the people around the prince, and she should focus on cultivating people who were loyal to her, so that she could live a smooth life.

If you want to buy people, you have to make silver, she heard that Su Yuxian is called reluctant to get her subordinates, but she doesn't have any dowry, and most of them are given by the prince, so letting her take out the money is like cutting meat.

She wrote to Su Wanyan, and Su Wanyan borrowed her a sum of silver, and told her that it was good to buy people's hearts with money, but there were also ways to buy people's hearts without spending money, so she thought about it herself, fortunately, the prince favored her, and the people in the house generally gave her face.

When I saw Su Yuxian on weekdays, I was even more proud than at the spring banquet that day, and eight out of ten sentences were tingling. She just wants to make Su Yuxian have a hard time in the Prince's Mansion.

Didn't she Su Yuxian think very highly of herself, and felt that she was a noble lady and looked down on her as the daughter of a petty official, but when she entered this prince's mansion, this was her world, and she had to trample her under her feet.

Seeing that the prince had not come to her house, Su Yuxian was naturally in a hurry, in order to attract the prince's attention, she cooked by herself, made snacks and red bean glutinous rice porridge for the prince, and after dressing up, she secretly went to the prince's residence in the outer courtyard with a food box.

As soon as the prince returned home, he was indeed a little hungry, so he asked her to present the food, and when she saw that there was a play, she immediately smiled, took out the contents of the food box and respectfully brought it to the prince.

"Your Highness, please use it, this is all made by the concubine herself."

The prince tasted it, and felt that he could barely eat it, and it was rare that she made it with her own hands, so he ate half a bowl of porridge, took two pieces of dim sum and put it in his mouth, and then said, "Okay, you can go." ”

"But." Su Yuxian's tears came out, "Xian'er doesn't leave, why does His Highness favor the Jiang family and enter the Jiang family's room for several days, what is so good about her, Your Highness don't be flattered by her." Didn't Your Highness like Xian'er very much before? Why don't you ignore Xian'er now......"

As soon as she said it, she felt anger rise from her heart, and she couldn't suppress it, and the words she said didn't go through her brain.

The prince had seen her crying, and felt a little pity, but when he heard what she said, his disgust for her rose again, and he scolded her and told her to go out immediately, saying that he didn't want to pay attention to her.

Su Yuxian finally returned to her courtyard in despair, and the prince still ignored her after that.

Although she made a lot of money, she was arrogant, and after a long time, the people didn't like it in their hearts, but Jiang Duyan would be a man, in addition to being arrogant in front of Su Yuxian, she was very kind to the people, and it didn't take long for Su Yuxian's diet and clothing to be deducted and perfunctory, and the people were not so dedicated to her.

Xiaocui quarreled with the cook in the kitchen a few times, and she didn't get along with the stewards, and things got worse and worse, she remembered that Su Wanyan said that she was in trouble and asked her for help, but now that she is in the prince's mansion, where can she ask people.

Fortunately, she still had a little brain, so she told Su Yuxian that she should show weakness next time she faced Jiang Duyan, not hard-hitting, but to restrain her temper and let Jiang Duyan gain the upper hand, it was best to suffer something like this, so as to win everyone's sympathy.
