Chapter 315: Fooling Around With Me?
As soon as the Queen Mother's order went down, it spread among the crowd at once.
Although this is just a trivial matter in the back house, because it involves the struggle between the seventh prince and the fourth prince, it is also a little shocking in the previous dynasty.
Everyone's eyes were looking at Mrs. Xu, ready to see how he chose.
No matter what choice he made between the Seventh Prince and the Fourth Prince, his position as the Taifu would not be so secure.
In the backyard, the turmoil is even more pronounced.
In the Four Princes' Mansion, I just learned the news, and the teacup in the hands of the Four Princesses was thrown to the ground.
"What! How could the imperial grandmother give the young lady of the Xu family a marriage to the fourth prince? Her delicate face was a little distorted.
She was born with the delicate appearance of a small jasper, and it is true that she is not from a big family. Although the power in the family is not small, it is not as good as Xu Yingying, the daughter of the Taifu.
If such a woman is allowed to become the side concubine of the fourth prince, her status is undoubtedly strange.
In addition, Xu Yingying was originally arrogant and domineering, and she would not necessarily restrain herself when she came to the mansion of the fourth prince. It's strange that she will listen to Concubine Zheng's words.
After thinking of this, she said hatefully to the maid beside her: "Why did the imperial grandmother agree to Xu Yingying's request? ”
The fourth princess was originally a pure person, and the maid rarely saw her like this, so she couldn't help but say with some fear:
The young lady of the Xu family told the Queen Mother that she would not marry the fourth prince, because the fourth prince saved her life on the street. Then, the Queen Mother didn't plan to agree, but after listening to a few unintentional words from the princess and the princess, she agreed. ”
The fourth princess suddenly frowned and said, "What did the princess say?" ”
"She didn't say anything, she just said that the queen mother was looking for a side concubine for the fourth prince." The maid looked at the face of the fourth princess and said cautiously.
The fourth princess originally thought it was nothing, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood what Sheng Zi'an meant.
"The queen mother must not have such a plan, all this is a good thing that the princess did!" The fourth princess gritted her teeth and said.
The maid looked at the four princesses with a hideous look, and she was really frightened, so she stood aside and didn't dare to say a word.
The handkerchief in the hands of the fourth princess was tightly held by her, and the shallot-like fingers were already white.
"Sheng Zi'an, right? If you are a rich and noble princess, I will not have time to pay attention to you. If you have to get into trouble with me, then I'll have to let you know that I'm not that easy to deal with. ”
She gritted her teeth and muttered.
Because Xu Yingying was very anxious, the wedding was held ten days later.
Even though Xu Yingying is the daughter of a Taifu, she is going to be a side concubine after all. Therefore, when she got married, there was not much etiquette, and all the ceremonies were simple.
At the wedding, Sheng Zi'an didn't go because she was sick, and since what she had to do had been done, she didn't bother to join in the fun.
It's just that ten days after Xu Yingying got married, an invitation was sent to the prince's mansion. The content in the invitation is probably that Sheng Zi'an missed Xu Yingying's wedding, and this time she must go to this banquet in the Four Princes' Mansion.
Xiao Jue looked at the invitation and said casually, "Are you going?" If you don't want to go, I'll just go and talk to the four princes. ”
Sheng Zi'an shook his head and said, "Of course I'm going to go to such an interesting thing." This is a Hongmen banquet specially prepared for me, if I don't go, won't it be a waste? ”
Looking at Sheng Zi'an's confident smile, Xiao Jue's face gradually had a gentle smile.
"Since the lady wants to go, then the husband won't say much. The husband is still waiting for the wife to give the husband an unexpected surprise. Xiao Jue said, adding some fine sparrow tongue tea to Sheng Zi'an's cup.
In the fog for a while, Sheng Zi'an's eyebrows and eyes became even more refined, and Xiao Jue's heart rippled slightly.
"What are you staring at me for?" Being stared at like this, Sheng Zi'an's face turned red.
Xiao Jue laughed and said, "Madame is so good-looking, of course I want to see more for my husband." ”
As he spoke, the jade-white finger crossed the tip of Sheng Zi'an's nose.
At this time, a voice came from the door: "His Royal Highness, Concubine Niangniang, Doctor Yang has come to diagnose the pulse." ”
When Xiao Jue heard this, he said casually: "Okay, let him in." The movements in his hands were not perfunctory at all, and he picked up a strand of Sheng Zi'an's hair and began to play with it.
Yang Xiuting looked at the appearance of the two people, and a familiar uncomfortable feeling once again surged in his heart.
The last time he helped Sheng Zi'an diagnose, he understood his feelings.
For this girl who has watched him grow up since he was a child, but his temperament has suddenly changed, his heart is no longer the simple maintenance of the past.
I don't know when, there was such a love between men and women in his heart.
Thinking of this, his face became bitter.
Now, the woman he loves has a happy marriage of her own, and a husband who loves her and has the ability to protect her.
Her own liking is worthless for her.
"Doctor Yang, but what's wrong with Madame's body?" While thinking about it, Yang Xiuting didn't notice that his expression was a little strange, and that he had been diagnosing his pulse for too long.
He hurriedly raised his head, put away the silk scarf, and said, "Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness, the princess and concubine's body is very stable now, and it depends on whether Doctor Bai can bring back the antidote from Xirong." ”
Xiao Jue bowed his head and said, "Has he talked to you about poison recently?" ”
Yang Xiuting thought for a while and said, "Doctor Bai once wrote to him that he had determined that this poison was indeed the poison of Xirong, and it was the poison of the Xirong royal family. People who are not members of the royal family must never know about it. Therefore, it is a little difficult for him to investigate. ”
Xiao Jue narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Okay, we can only wait for the good news from Baicheng now." ”
After finishing speaking, he asked Yang Xiuting to retreat.
Looking at Sheng Zi'an, who was lazy on the soft collapse, he pinched the tip of her nose and said, "It's better for you to have less contact with your cousin in the future, and after Bai Cheng comes back, let Bai Cheng help you diagnose your pulse." ”
Sheng Zi'an frowned and said, "Why?" ”
Xiao Jue's hand dishonestly grabbed Sheng Zi'an's waist, and a strange smile appeared on his face, and said, "I look at him, it's very unpleasant." ”
Sheng Zi'an was about to say something, but he felt that his mouth was blocked by something, and he couldn't speak.
The next morning, Sheng Zi'an deliberately didn't get up early, and when she woke up, it was already three poles in the morning.
After casually dressing up, she went to the mansion of the fourth prince.
As soon as she arrived at the house, she found that all the people who came this time were close friends of the four princesses, and they went out to Xu Yingying, the side concubine.
And the four princesses themselves are still grooming in the house.
When several noble ladies saw Sheng Zi'an coming, they saluted one after another, and then their eyes were set at the door of the fourth prince's house.
Obviously, these people have already colluded to make Sheng Zi'an ugly.
As if sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Xu Yingying pulled Sheng Zi'an over and said, "Concubine Niangniang, this Fourth Prince's Mansion, you are probably the first time to come, right?" Why don't we go shopping first? ”
Sheng Zi'an frowned, it seems that the fourth prince should be very fond of Xu Yingying these days, otherwise her temperament would not have been unrestrained at all.
A young lady on the side said meanly: "Concubine Xu, this is a guest of the Fourth Imperial Concubine, how can you be qualified to entertain a side concubine?" ”
Xu Yingying sneered and said, "This concubine is the daughter of the original Taifu, how can you small families blame her?" ”
Although the four princes don't like Xu Yingying much, for the sake of the power of Mrs. Xu behind her, the four princes favor Xu Yingying alone.
The woman didn't look scared at all, and said directly: "Concubine Xu, a married woman, mentions her maiden family at every turn, but it's a little inappropriate?" ”
Xu Yingying could stand such anger, and directly pointed to the woman's nose and said, "Which family are you from?" Who gave you the guts to mess around with me? ”
Seeing the tense and ridiculous atmosphere between the two, Sheng Zi'an hurriedly stretched out his hand, stopped Xu Yingying, and said, "Concubine Xu, I'm not bad at this time." You have just come to this Four Princes' Mansion, and you are a little unfamiliar with this. Why don't you wait for the fourth princess sister to come out, let's go shopping together? ”
Xu Yingying frowned, she was a little dissatisfied with letting go of the young lady like this, but when she saw that it was Sheng Zi'an who spoke, she still held back the anger in her heart and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at the young lady over there angrily before sitting down.
Not long after the two sat down, they saw the maid and the woman hugging her, and a young lady Shi Shiran walked over.
The woman was dressed up very exquisitely, from the makeup on her face to the clothes on her body, it showed a sense of luxury.
All the women bowed down and saluted the woman. Even Xu Yingying is blessed.
It seems that the person who came was the fourth princess.
"Everyone, I'm sorry that I got up too late today, and I made you wait for a long time."
Her gaze swept over everyone present, and finally fell on Sheng Zi'an.
