Chapter 218: The sour and astringent can only be swallowed in the stomach
"Father......" Xiao Yuanhuai really can't help this old naughty father, he didn't listen to anything, so he was directly approved, but he wanted to stop it, it was too late, and he couldn't sweep his father's face.
Xue Qiuci got up, thanked the old prince first, and then: "Taoman, come here, kowtow to the prince, husband and wife." ”
Xiao Yuanhuai was a little embarrassed, Qin Xuezhen and Su Qingnian were nervous, Xue Qiuci was going to give the maid to the master as a concubine?
Only the old prince was happy: "This is, to ask for a favor for your maid and let your lord accept the house?" ”
"Old prince, when I was at the border, my husband worked hard in the military camp all day long, and the concubine alone couldn't serve my husband considerately, so Tao Man was already a person of my husband, but he didn't have a clear master mother, and he didn't dare to mess with the rules at will."
Qin Xuezhen had a decent smile on her face, but in her heart, she couldn't tell what it tasted like, the sour and astringent ones were all swallowed in her stomach.
Su Nianqing was even worse, she couldn't even hold back her smile, although she knew that this was all right, but she still couldn't convince herself that she couldn't care.
She has admired Xiao Yuanhuai since she was a child, and with her status in her mother's family, marrying Xiao Yuanhuai as a wife is also qualified.
It's just that the identity of the eldest princess of the neighboring country is naturally more noble than her, and she can't snatch the position of the main wife.
Originally, she could also have other options and marry into a dignitary's family as a wife, but she couldn't let go of Xiao Yuanhuai, so she retreated to the second best thing and made a side room.
She thought that she could keep her original intention and live a small life with her beloved, but the reality was not as simple as she imagined, it was already hard enough to be a side room, not to mention that Xiao Yuanhuai rarely went home a few times a year.
Fortunately, Qin Xuezhen is not a picky housewife, her life is not too sad, but her daughter Xiao Yajing, even if the family is a little lower, it doesn't matter, she must be a wife.
Xiao Yuanhuai's heart is not as happy as when ordinary men take concubines, and even, there is a little bit of guilt, for Xue Zhen and Nianqing.
The old prince was very happy: "Since they are all Yuanhuai's people, let's be an aunt!" ”
Tao Man hurriedly kowtowed to the old prince to thank him, and then kowtowed to Qin Xuezhen to call him the main mother, and bowed to Su Nianqing and Xue Qiuci.
Several people took a piece of jewelry from their heads or bodies to her, which can be regarded as recognizing her as the master's concubine.
The old prince still felt that it was not enough: "Yuan Huai has been thinking about the border all these years, and he has no intention of taking concubines, so far there are only four of you sisters, Aunt Xue has taken care of Yuan Huai, so let's be the side lady." ”
The father-in-law spoke, and even if Qin Xuezhen and Su Nianqing were unwilling, they couldn't refute: "Yes, everything is arranged by my father." ”
After another round of stumbling and worshipping, Xiao Yuanhuai asked: "Father's 60th birthday tomorrow, do you want to send someone to invite your mother back." ”
Speaking of his wife, the smile on Xiao Changde's face faded, and he hesitated for a long time, but still said: "Lonely Zhao'an is a long way away, tomorrow, it's too late, forget it." ”
"Yuan Huai will leave tonight, if my mother is willing, I will definitely be able to return home before noon tomorrow."
Xue Qiuci and Tao Man's hearts were raised, tonight, according to the rules, the master will rest in their room, right?
Similarly, Xiao Changde also thought of this: "Let Yi'er run." ”
Xiao Junyi, who had been silent, got up: "Yes, my grandson has already eaten, so I will leave to pick up my grandmother." ”
