Chapter 229: Persecution

This was Xie Zhan's happiest day in many years, and even when he was sure that Mingxiu had the same thoughts as him, Xie Zhan was not so happy.

But his excitement did not last long, and it was only early in the morning that the housekeeper of the house came with the news that Concubine Zhen wanted to see him.

How much Xie Zhan could guess why Concubine Zhen wanted to see him at this time.

In the final analysis, it was Shu Wenqi's marriage.

I don't know why Concubine Zhen insists so much, and she wants Shu Wenqi to marry him in life or death.

Clearly...... The two didn't have much intersection before, and Shu Wenqi and Concubine Zhen had only met a few times.

The apple muscles that had been laughing all night relaxed, Xie Zhan touched Mingxiu's hair, "Soon the dowry will be delivered to the house." ”

Shu Wenqi ......

Mingxiu shouldn't be left to solve it.

This matter was directed at him, even though everyone said that the affairs of the back house should be handed over to the woman to take care of, but Xie Zhan felt that if he really threw this matter to Mingxiu, it was impossible to say that the relationship that had just eased would become stiff again.

But not two hours after he left, someone in the palace came to summon Mingxiu.

It's Concubine Jane......

Don't care if Mingxiu wants to see her or not, after all, Concubine Zhen is Xie Zhan's mother and Mingxiu's future mother-in-law, and it is impossible for Mingxiu not to give her face.

But she didn't know what Concubine Zhen was doing when she asked her to go, so she could only say goodbye to her parents with a worried heart, and followed the little eunuch who passed the word.

Ming's mother was very happy to learn that Concubine Zhen wanted to see her, but Mingxiu's face was not good, and all she had left was to worry.

Speaking of which, the two parties who are about to become in-laws have not met yet.

Thinking of this, Ming's mother quickly turned around and went back to discuss with her husband whether she wanted to meet with Concubine Zhen before the marriage of the two juniors.

In the palace.

Seeing Mingxiu's unexpected welcome, Concubine Zhen beckoned to her, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but the county lord is more beautiful again." ”

The last time we met, I was still tense, but now that I suddenly became kind, Mingxiu was a little uncomfortable.

When she came, she was ready to be ridiculed by Concubine Zhen's cold words, but the contrast between reality and imagination is a bit big.

Mingxiu is not a masochist, so she has to have a cold face for Concubine Zhen.

She was smiling, and Mingxiu didn't have a sincere and frightened face, so she stepped forward with a smile, "Niangniang praised, you are a real beauty, in front of you, I can only be ashamed of myself." ”

Yu Guang glanced at Xie Zhan, trying to see something on his face.

His face was a little unsightly, and when he saw Mingxiu looking at it, he shook his head imperceptibly.

was laughed complimentarily by Mingxiu's words, and Concubine Zhen looked at her with disgust, "You little mouth, you are really flattering, you will become relatives in the future, you have to be kind to others." ”

The latter words were naturally said to Xie Zhan.

"My son obeyed." Xie Zhan's head is that if Concubine Zhen doesn't say it, he won't treat Mingxiu badly.

It's just this time......

He glanced at Mingxiu worriedly, worried in his heart, thinking about how he could temporarily appease people if Mingxiu got angry for a while.

After a few more greetings with Mingxiu, Concubine Zhen said with concern: "Good boy, I know that you are not familiar with the affairs of the palace, and you may not be able to be thoughtful for a while, so the concubine made a special trip to pick a good helper for you." ”

Blinking blankly, Mingxiu couldn't figure out what Concubine Zhen meant, so she could only smile a little awkwardly.

"yes, thank you so much, mother."

"I know that you are a virtuous person, and when Wen Qi enters the door in the future, you will definitely be able to get along well."

Concubine Zhen was happy with Mingxiu's acquaintance, and she also liked this low-born daughter-in-law.

Of course, the so-called liking is more satisfied with her sensibility.

Mingxiu was slightly stunned, and looked at Concubine Zhen for some reason, "Wen Qi in Niangniang's mouth is ......"

Don't be the one she remembers.

Wrong......

Xie Zhan wants to take a concubine!

Suddenly, Mingxiu's murderous eyes fell on Xie Zhan.

I know that I can't give him a good face, otherwise the moth will come soon!

Seeing Mingxiu's appearance, Xie Zhan knew that she had misunderstood, smiled silently, signaled her to be calm, and explained to her later.

"Which Wen Qi is there in the capital? Naturally, it is Miss Shu. As if she remembered something, Concubine Zhen looked at Xie Zhan, "The mourning family remembers, Wen Qi's father is working under you, right?" ”

As if the matter had been decided, Mingxiu clenched his fists.

Where did Xie Zhan dare to be negligent? hurriedly stated his position, and said with a righteous face: "The mother concubine misunderstood, how could the sons and daughters do the thing of forming gangs?" ”

I don't know, but he's a man with many duties.

Master Shu was already working for Xie Zhan when he was the first emperor.

It is impossible for Concubine Zhen not to know, but at this time, Xie Zhan's words are not easy for her to refute.

This is in the palace after all.

Even if she wants to match Xie Zhan and Shu Wenqi, it is difficult for Concubine Zhen to put her son on the target.

But the elves who have been in the palace for many years are not in vain.

Glaring at Xie Zhan with disgust, Concubine Zhen said with a little amusement: "It's an in-law soon, and it's nothing to get closer, let alone form a gang!" ”

Xu is Xie Zhan's previous attitude was too resolute, and Concubine Zhen was afraid that he would say something to refuse, so she looked at Mingxiu again, "Good boy, the mother concubine knows that you are a virtuous person, you have never systematically learned how to manage the palace, and it is good to have someone by your side to help, isn't it?" ”

Okay, it's almost a straightforward explanation that the show has no knowledge, and it can't manage the palace well.

As soon as she entered the door, she was going to send Shu Wenqi to fight with her?

Mingxiu narrowed her eyes slightly, and her heart began to feel uncomfortable, knowing that it would not be good for Concubine Zhen to ask her to enter the palace for nothing.

This is to force Mingxiu to accept Shu Wenqi first.

If Xie Zhan wasn't there, Concubine Zhen spoke again, and Mingxiu really couldn't refuse.

Otherwise, a big hat of jealousy will be buttoned down.

Before getting married, he was jealous, and he didn't know how ugly it was when he spread it outside.

Even if it doesn't spread outside, there are such rumors circulating in the palace, and Xie Zhan can't get over it.

Mingxiu's face turned a little cold, and her eyes began to turn cold when she looked at Xie Zhan, but she made a shy appearance.

Looking at Concubine Zhen in embarrassment, she said, "This kind of thing, how can the courtiers be in charge?" ”

Obviously, he has begun to get rusty, and he has lost the closeness he had when he met.

Concubine Zhen didn't mind Mingxiu's attitude, "You agreed, what else is Zhan'er unhappy about?" ”

In her opinion, all men in the world are the same, there is a woman who is sent to the door, or a beauty with a background, but because of her face, it is not easy to respond directly, but if her wife agrees, will the man still refuse?

What's more, Xie Zhan seems to care about Mingxiu so much, and her words are naturally not easy to be rejected.

The corners of Xie Zhan's lips pulled up a sneer, and before Mingxiu spoke, Xie Zhan said lightly: "Miss Shu and I are really blind as concubines, just right, the emperor has reached the age of the draft, if the mother concubine has a heart, let Miss Shu enter the palace, and she will always talk to the mother concubine in the future." ”

"How can this be!"

Concubine Zhen subconsciously retorted, her face full of resistance.

Seeing Mingxiu and Xie Zhan looking at her together, their faces couldn't help but be a little strange, "After all, Miss Shu is a few years older than Shengshang, so it's not appropriate to do this." ”

That's pretty reliable.

But this is not the case in Concubine Zhen's heart.

Taichang Siqing is such a key position, how can it be pushed to the emperor's side?

In Concubine Zhen's opinion, Xie Zhan's situation at this time was very dangerous.

Only when the power in his hands is more controlled, the emperor does not dare to touch him.

Once Xie Zhan fell off the horse, there were so many people who gnawed him to the dregs.

Concubine Zhen has such a son in her life, if something happens to Xie Zhan, then she will have nothing to rely on for the rest of her life.

If Xie Zhan was willing, she would definitely send all the powerful and favored ladies in the capital to him.

It's just that Concubine Zhen herself knows that this is not appropriate.

Even if the emperor didn't suspect Xie Zhan now, someone should start to suspect her if she did this.

The corners of Xie Zhan's lips curled, "What's the matter?" The son heard that the imperial concubine of the former emperor was also a few years older than the former emperor, didn't it have no effect? ”

After all, he was young and didn't know the secret, but Concubine Zhen's face turned green when she heard him mention the imperial concubine.

To say that the imperial concubine is also a character, when the emperor was only a prince, she was the maid arranged by the Holy Ancestor for the emperor, and the emperor was named a concubine in one fell swoop after ascending the throne, and was promoted to a concubine only five years later, and was awarded the imperial concubine when she was dying.

If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have a son, there might not be Concubine Zhen and Xie Zhan at this time.

The imperial concubine of the first emperor is a thorn in the heart of Concubine Zhen, and she can't be mentioned easily.

Even her son.

“…… So how can it be general? When the imperial concubine entered the palace, the emperor was still the prince. ”

"The prince only needs a maidservant to have a room, but the person in front of the saint is different."

Even if it's just an ordinary concubine, you have to have some background.

Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be no scum left in this cannibalistic palace.

Xie Zhan is quite suitable to look at Shu Wenqi.
