In the evening, Mingxiu and Zhen Miniang got up hand in hand, and when they were about to go home, the lady who had proposed to send their daughter earlier followed closely behind.

Maybe I want to see the excitement, so there are a lot of people who follow in the open and in the dark.

Even Princess Cheng followed.

"The Regent Mansion and the Chengwang Mansion are all the way, my brother and sister don't bother me, right?"

What else can this Mingxiu say?

She could only smirk: "The imperial sister-in-law said that she was joking." ”

A group of female dependents went to the gate of the palace, and Xie Zhan was already waiting at this time.

Because there are many of them along the way, they naturally attract a lot of eyes.

In addition to the Ministry of Rites, the officials who came to watch the ceremony today will also participate in tomorrow's post-closure ceremony.

Seeing a large group of people around Mingxiu, Xie Zhan was startled and hurriedly stepped forward, "When did the princess's popularity become so good?" ”

On weekdays, Mingxiu doesn't say that her popularity is not good, but she doesn't like to be false and wronged with those women, so except for Zhen Miniang, Mingxiu rarely intersects with others.

He said this more with a sense of ridicule.

Mingxiu chuckled, with a faint threat in her eyes, "It's not me who is popular, it's the prince, look, do you like this girl?" ”

Leaving only Xie Zhan with a little light, she personally brought the girl to Xie Zhan.

"Miss Cui." Xie Zhan frowned slightly, although he didn't know why, it was certain that Mingxiu was angry.

In his heart, Mingxiu will not be wrong, and the wrong one must be someone else.

He has some impressions of this Cui family girl, she has always been a girl who has been following Zhen Miniang and is very intimidating, how can she have the courage to provoke Mingxiu now?

Xie Zhan's heart turned around and turned thousands of times, and others didn't understand, but they saw him looking at the little girl of the Cui family fixedly, and the ladies all showed ambiguous smiles, and their eyes looked at Mingxiu with some schadenfreude.

Miss Cui herself thinks the same way.

She bowed her head shyly, "Lord Wang." "The eyes are full of admiration.

In their opinion, if this girl enters the door, she will definitely be favored, and she was promised the position of side concubine by Mingxiu herself, if she has a child, Mingxiu's position as the princess will be in jeopardy.

Miss Cui herself thinks the same way.

Under the eyes of everyone, Mingxiu was not half moved, seeing that Xie Zhan just looked at her and didn't speak, Mingxiu turned her head and looked at Miss Cui and her mother, "It's not too early, it's time to go back and rest." ”

"That's what the princess said." Mrs. Cui had a smile on her face, and hurriedly left with her daughter who still wanted to say a few more words to the prince.

If you want to speak, how can you say that you can't enter the palace in the future?

Today, they want to send their daughters to the palace in public, which already makes people feel that they are not reserved, and their reputation cannot be worse.

Whether it is a wife or a concubine, it can be respected, the most important thing is love, reputation, and then the mother's family.

Miss Cui has already accounted for one of the three.

With Lan Shuang's support, Mingxiu got into the carriage and didn't look at Xie Zhan until he returned to the palace.

Mingxiu, like those ladies, thought that Xie Zhan had agreed to let Miss Cui enter the door, and her face was as if she had been slapped in the face.

She's not a masochist, and she doesn't have to make sense to get up after being hit on the left side of her face and on the right cheek.

But Xie Zhan was at a loss the whole time, and he didn't know what was going on, but he noticed that Mingxiu and the women just now looked at him strangely, and felt that something was wrong and wanted to go back to the house and ask again.

Before he could enter the main courtyard, the door of the main courtyard was slammed shut in front of him, and no one paid attention to the knock on the door.

The housekeeper was following Xie Zhan and wanted to enter the door to reply to Mingxiu, but he was also locked out of the door.

"Lord Wang, ...... you are"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mingxiu was angry, but Xie Zhan was still at a loss, and the housekeeper couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Being treated like this in front of his subordinates, Xie Zhan's face was a little unbearable, and he touched his nose, "Women's homes are always weird." ”

With a soft snort, he turned his face away and went straight to the study.

If you want to speak, let's wait for Mingxiu to calm down.

"Princess." Lan Shuang's eyes were full of worry when she looked at her master, Xie Zhan's attitude was indeed angry, but she was more afraid of Mingxiu's bad body.

"Why didn't you ask the prince? What if the prince didn't mean to accept the Cui girl? Bai Lu was a little incomprehensible, she felt that Xie Zhan and Mingxiu's attitudes were weird, but this didn't mean that Xie Zhan was relieved.

If he didn't mean it, Mingxiu would be wrong, but what if he didn't mean it?

"Egrets! You don't have to say a word. ”

Lan Shuang frowned, she was in the same mind as Mingxiu.

Xie Zhan's attitude has clearly expressed his acceptance, and he has to ask again, isn't this pouring salt on Mingxiu's wounds?

The last fig leaf, let's save some face for Mingxiu.

Egret was a little aggrieved, usually she would have argued with Lan Shuang, but now Mingxiu is obviously in a bad mood, and she doesn't dare to touch her head, so she can only bow her head aggrieved and stop talking.

At night without Xie Zhan's presence, there was the warmth of a fireplace, and Mingxiu also felt very cold.

The most important thing is the chill.

The body and mind are very tired, and sleepiness comes one after another, but it is not to be sleepless all night.

Before dawn the next morning, Mingxiu began to call the housekeeper to open the treasury for gifts.

I couldn't say a word to Mingxiu all night, and after knowing this, Xie Zhan didn't even care about his clothes and came straight to Mingxiu.

"Is this a congratulatory gift to the emperor?"

The courtyard is full of rare antiques, all of which have been treasured by the palace for many years, and some things are hidden at the bottom of the treasury, and he himself has forgotten them.

Mingxiu glanced at him, "Didn't the congratulatory gift to the emperor be sent out earlier?" ”

How could she be in such a hurry to prepare a wedding gift for the emperor?

"And what are you doing here?" Xie Zhan was puzzled, in addition to the emperor, inside and outside the government and the opposition, in the desert city, who else could bear such a generous gift from the Regent's Palace?

Mingxiu turned his head to the housekeeper and said, "You are an old man, I can rest assured that the dowry of the concubine will be handed over to you." ”

It can be regarded as a side answer to Xie Zhan's question.

"Wait, what side concubine?"

Xie Zhan suddenly felt that something was wrong when he heard this, stepped forward and grabbed Mingxiu's wrist, frowned and asked.

There are only two people in the capital, he and King Cheng, who can have a side concubine, and Mingxiu is naturally impossible to do it for King Cheng, so he can only marry a side concubine.

He hasn't even figured out Mingxiu alone now, is he still a concubine?

I don't want to live.

"Yesterday, Mrs. Cui said that she wanted to send her little daughter to you, didn't you agree?" Mingxiu sat upright, she was already dressed properly at this time, and she could leave to watch the ceremony as long as she finished the affairs of the palace.

She looked at Xie Zhan and said word by word: "Before you agree, I have already put down my words, but as soon as you agree, I will welcome her into the door as a side concubine." ”
