Hearing this, Wang shook his head and said:

"The ones you went to school in the mountains are of little use to the women! You don't know, the side concubine given to the prince by the emperor was originally the prince's cousin, she was the niece of the prince's late mother, Concubine Rou Guifei, and she was different from ordinary concubines, even if the emperor saw her, he would favor her a little! Originally, everyone thought that she would become the prince's main family, but they didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly give marriage, that is, in her opinion, it was you who robbed the position that originally belonged to her, how could she not hold a grudge against you? How could he be willing to be a side concubine? ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, he understood that the reason why Hua Tianruo suddenly came to demonstrate for himself that day.

On the other side, Wang paused and continued:

"Back then...... When Concubine Rou was still alive, the most favored person in the palace, except for the queen, was Concubine Rou. Concubine Rou is also the only person in the harem who can be equal to the queen, the queen's jealousy is extremely strong, the person she hates the most is Concubine Rou, she tortured Concubine Rou in the harem, fortunately there is the Hua clan to protect her, otherwise, Concubine Rou is afraid that she will not survive the birth of the fifth prince! Later, Concubine Rou went, and the Hua clan declined. ”

Yun Xiao listened quietly, always feeling that he was about to experience these things.

She said: "Back then, did Concubine Rou and the queen fight fiercely in the harem? ”

"If it's not tragic, how can the queen not let go of these things after so many years of Concubine Rou's visit?! The decline of the Hua clan is the result of the queen's instruction of her brother, that is, Prime Minister Gao, to suppress in the previous dynasty. ”

Wang sighed,

"The queen used to hate Concubine Rou, and now she hates the two sons born to Concubine Rou, especially the new prince, the son born to him is gone, but the son born to the person he hates the most is going to marry a wife, who is it, I feel uncomfortable, not to mention, our Yun family has also rejected his son's proposal to marry, no matter whether the new prince defends you or not, the queen will not like you, your situation in the harem is really worrying, you must think clearly about your future path!"

Yun Xiao felt that her mother's analysis was very correct, there was an indescribable beauty in her slightly flowing eyes, and her calmness made this beauty even more elegant, she said:

"Mother, you are right, the queen's side, I really need to be more careful, however, there is still the emperor above the queen, as far as I know, the emperor is a bright monarch, and he has always been very fair, even if the queen is hostile to me, no matter how powerful the Gao family is, they can't cross the imperial power, we still have a way to go."

"If only you had your own plans!"

When Wang heard this, he relaxed slightly, but in a blink of an eye, he became serious again.

"But...... Yun Xiao, you must remember what your mother said to you next, walking in the palace in the future, if you encounter any difficulties, and you can't contact our Yun family for a while, you can go to the emperor's side of the chief attendant Liu An to help, Liu An is an old man in the palace, once served as a duty by the side of the late Queen Mother, and I have some friendship with me, with the relationship of the Queen Mother, he will take care of you! ”

At this moment, she took out a piece of jade pendant that she had kept close to her, put it in Yun Xiao's hand, and said to her,

"Yun Xiao, this jade pendant I am giving you now was given to me by the first queen herself, you must take it carefully, if necessary, you can take it out and let some people do things for you. The people in the palace are all powerful, you must not show the mountains and not show water, in order to make your road more stable! If you let others see through you at a glance, then, if others want to pinch you, it is as simple as pinching an ant to death, in short, you must be cautious and not careless at any time! ”

Hearing this, Yun Xiao nodded cautiously.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely protect my ...... in the palace"

Yun Xiao accompanied the Wang family for a while before stopping.

--------------------

On July 20, the twenty-sixth year of Tianlong, the new prince Xia Rui got married, and married the crown princess Yun Jia's daughter, Yun Xiao, and the side concubine Hua Tingruo.

Since Prince Min's new funeral has only been more than three months ago, the new prince's marriage was not grand.

Yun Xiao got up at dawn to make up, and under the guidance of the aunt sent by the palace, after kneeling down to bid farewell to his parents, he boarded the royal car specially built for the wedding in the palace at the designated auspicious time and went to the palace.

Xia Rui greeted Yun Xiao at the Taihe Gate of the main gate of the palace, and then, according to the court etiquette system of the Xia Kingdom, he first went to the Taimiao Temple with Yun Xiao to worship the ancestors, and then went to the Taiji Palace, and bowed three kneels and nine bows to the emperor and queen, and listened to the master of ceremonies of the Ministry of Rites reciting the holy decree.

In contrast, Hua Tianruo's side concubine canonization ceremony is much simpler, she only needs to enter the palace from the side door next to the Taihe Gate according to the specified hour, and then wait in the side hall of the Taiji Palace.

--------------------

The tedious wedding ceremony lasts until sunset.

Yun Xiao was supported by the bride, entered the dormitory of the crown princess of the East Palace and waited, busy all day, Yun Xiao did not enter the water and rice, he was tired and hungry at the moment, and it was the middle of summer, although there were ice cubes in the dormitory, but Yun Xiao was wearing a heavy bridal dress, and he still felt very stuffy.

Despite this, Yun Xiao still didn't dare to be disdainful of the etiquette that should be there, and sat upright on the wedding bed all the time.

Actually, Yun Xiao felt that Xia Rui might not come to her tonight, since Hua Tianruo and Xia Rui were cousins, and Hua Tianruo swore so much that day, then, Yun Xiao could go to bed as long as she waited for the lights to go out in the side concubine hall.

It's not that Yun Xiao is indifferent by nature, but she knows that her marriage is just a political transaction, so why bother to barely fall in love in a political transaction?!

Oh, people who are too persistent and greedy always live extremely hard, and that is not the life that Yun Xiao pursues.

Time passed little by little, and the night sank little by little.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, followed by the congratulatory voice of Xi Niang: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose......"

Yun Xiao was a little surprised in his heart, he actually ...... Didn't go to Hua Tingruo there!

Suddenly, Xia Rui took the happy stalk, picked off Yun Xiao's big red hijab, and according to the rules, after drinking the wine, he dismissed the bride and the maid, and only he and Yun Xiao were left in the dormitory.

Xia Rui stood on the side of the bed, looking at Yun Xiao who was sitting upright, his eyes were full of luster because of the wine, he bent his lips slightly, and said:

"Miss Yun, we met again, now, Gu should call you the crown princess, didn't you think of it...... Will Lone come to you tonight? ”

Yun Xiao saw that his careful thinking was seen through, so he raised his eyes to look at him: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to like to guess girls' minds so much!" ”

"Hahahahaha......ha ”

Only then did Yun Xiao understand: "His Royal Highness the Prince's eyesight is really better than others, it seems that ...... You're not drunk! ”

"Of course you can't get drunk, otherwise, if you neglect the crown princess, won't the Yun family be unhappy?"

When he said this, it didn't seem like he was hiding a grudge, Yun Xiao looked at him carefully, and there was no trace of displeasure on his face.

So...... He was testing himself again.

This repeated temptation, although Yun Xiao felt a little unhappy, but since he now put the Yun family on the bright side, then Yun Xiao said directly:

"Please forgive His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for being presumptuous, in fact, the concubine has a question, and I wanted to ask His Highness that day, but now, I really don't vomit or be unhappy, that is, ...... Since His Royal Highness has a childhood sweetheart cousin by his side, why would he agree to marry our Yun family? ”

"You have a lot of courage, much like your father!"

Xia Rui looked at Yun Xiao with a pleasant face, he was not angry, on the contrary, he admired Yun Xiao's courage, he said,

"Concubine Hua is indeed Lone's cousin, but it is not Lone who went to ask her father to make her a side concubine, so please don't get me wrong, Lone didn't mean to make you ugly, or...... Make your Yun family ugly. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly let out a long sigh,

"When Lone's mother was still alive, she loved this cousin very much, and when she died, she told Lone that she must take good care of this cousin, and her father probably made her a side concubine because of this reason! Today is the day of your and my wedding, and my cousin should have welcomed him into the East Palace tomorrow or later, but ...... Prince Min's new funeral has been less than half a year, and it is not good to do too many happy events in the palace, so everything is simple, this matter is indeed wronged by you......"

Yun Xiao was very surprised after listening to this long speech, but his face was still as calm as water.

Actually, Yun Xiao didn't think about asking Xia Rui to explain that Hua Tianruo was named a side concubine, however, what he said in such detail now was because he was worried about the Yun family, or did he have another purpose?

At this moment, Yun Xiao heard Xia Rui say again:

"As for ...... You ask Gu, why do you want to marry your Yun family, Gu thinks, this is the same as why you agree to marry Gu, the answer is the same, right?! ”

Yun Xiao was stunned when she heard this, and in the next second, she raised her head suddenly, but she happened to meet Xia Rui's sweeping gaze.

She was shocked and ashamed.

He was like he had everything in the palm of his hand.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao hurriedly suppressed the thoughts floating in his heart, and said calmly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really extremely confident in himself, this kind of bearing is not something ordinary people can have!" ”

Xia Rui raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Could it be that Lone guessed wrong?!" The Yun family married you to Lone, wasn't it because they had other things to ask for Lone?! ”
