Xu Zijiao, King Yu has some impression of her, the mother concubine said this, naturally there is a reason for the mother concubine, Queen Yu took two steps back, respectfully hugged her fists and said: "Yes, the son must remember, please rest assured." ”

"Good, good, good." Concubine Yang De had a smile in her eyes, Concubine Wu Xian wanted to win over the Chengguo Mansion, and she must also be thinking about Xu Zijiao, and they had to strike first. and Concubine Yang Defei reminded King Yu to pay more attention to the crown princess, the recent behavior of the crown princess is showing the world that she is protecting the prince, she is not the straw bag in everyone's mouth.

The reason why the crown princess Han was able to marry the crown prince and become the crown princess was not because her father, King Zhenbei, was deeply respected by His Majesty and stationed in the north, it was precisely because of her incompetence that many people tried their best to promote this marriage. The crown prince and the crown princess were married in April, and the husband and wife were not harmonious, which caused the courtiers to secretly ridicule them, and the prince was weak since he was a child, His Majesty was indifferent to him, but he was quite fond of King Yu and King Lu.

The crown princess Han's father, King Zhenbei, was stationed in the north, grew up in the boudoir, and was only raised by her mother Concubine Jiang, but her mother Concubine Jiang left the capital from King Zhenbei more than ten years ago, and she was devoted to Buddhism, and neglected to discipline the princess Han, so that the eldest daughter of King Zhenbei became famous and was a straw bag in the eyes of the world.

King Yu was stunned, he frowned and said, "Mother, I'm afraid this matter is related to the prince, could it be that the prince is doing something behind his back?" "His crown prince's brother, although he is not favored by his father, is also the crown prince of the Great Zhou.

Concubine Yang Defei shook her head: "It's not clear for the time being, you just have a plan in your heart, go back and rest early." ”

King Yu retreated, and Concubine Yang Defei was still pondering with her eyes down, and it took a long time to come back to her senses and find that it was dark.

Ah Jiu didn't wait for Ah Yan to speak, so he hurriedly told the prince what the two things the princess told him to do. The first thing is to ask Ah Jiu to send people to pay more attention to Concubine Xi Niangniang and pay close attention to the people who have dealings with her. The second thing is for him to use his connections to find the middle-aged man in a portrait given to him by the crown princess. As soon as the words fell, Ah Jiu handed the portrait in his sleeve to the prince: "Your Highness, please take a look." He didn't dare to hide it from the prince, and after thinking about it, the princess was not confused, how could he hide it from the prince if he knew?

The crown prince took the portrait, squinted at it, and only after a while handed the portrait to Ah Jiu, and said expressionlessly: "Since the crown princess ordered you, then you will obey the order." ”

Obeying the order, Ah Jiu bowed down and took the portrait on the bookcase.

At this time, Ah Yan was dissatisfied: "Your Highness, how can this be? ”

The prince looked over lightly and said, "This is the East Palace." Chi Guoguo reminded Ah Yan to pay attention to proportions when speaking, he is the master of the East Palace, and he is in charge of everything.

Ah Yan: "......" He is also for the good of His Royal Highness the Prince, who knows what medicine the princess bought in the gourd. "Your Highness, the slave knows his mistake." Ah Yan reluctantly bowed to the prince.

Ah Jiu held back the smile in his heart, and couldn't help shaking his shoulders, it was rare to see Ah Yan deflated, not to mention how happy he was. In his opinion, the crown princess has been quite concerned about the prince recently, Ah Yan does not need to be so vigilant, they have followed the prince for many years, know the prince's temper, and have their own opinions, they only need to obey orders.

"Go down and get ten sticks, Ah Jiu overseer, don't do it again next time!" The prince's cold words came into Ah Yan's ears, and Ah Yan saw that the prince's face sank slightly, and a wave of anger rushed to his face, and he responded respectfully in an instant.

After he left, Ah Jiu couldn't help grinning with his teeth, and was looked at lightly by the prince, he quickly retracted the smile on his face, and took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, the slave will go to supervise, this will go, and the slave will retire." "He didn't want to stay, so he went first.

The prince squinted slightly, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, kneaded his swollen eyebrows with his left hand, and rested his right hand on the chair handle, keeping an eye on Concubine Xi, he knew this matter in his heart. As for the middle-aged man in the painting, he seems to be very familiar, where have you ever seen him? Han Jinxiu, what is her intention? Invite Ah Jiu over and tell him to do things, how can you hide it from him? Or Han Jinxiu just wants him to know, what is the inside story of this?

Anxin looked at Han Jinxiu cautiously, and quickly handed her the tea cup in his hand.

Taking the tea cup handed by Anxin, Han Jinxiu smiled slightly: "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask!" Then he pursed his lips and drank two or three sips of tea to moisten his throat.

After Han Jinxiu put the tea cup on the table, he pinched the silk handkerchief in his hand with peace of mind, and said lightly: "Actually, it's nothing, the slave is just curious, why are you looking for Ah Jiu?" ”

Han Jinxiu didn't directly answer Anxin's words, but glanced at An Mei: "Why do you think?" Throw the topic to her.

Stunned for a moment, An Mei obviously didn't expect Han Jinxiu to ask herself, then took a deep breath and replied: "The slave maid is foolish, the slave maid thinks that Niangniang has just entered the palace for more than four months, and there is no one to trust in the palace, so it is better to hand over such an important matter to Ah Jiu than we should find a way, he is the person next to His Royal Highness, and he is very reliable." Secondly, even if His Highness knew, he might not be able to stop Ah Jiu. ”

This may be the reason why she kept An Mei by her side in her previous life, she is a transparent girl. Of course, peace of mind is not bad, Han Jinxiu bowed his head: "Well, what An Mei said is right, this matter is just for His Highness to know." "This is to remind the prince to keep an eye on Concubine Xi, she is very suspicious.

The matter of Empress Chen's birthday banquet came to an end temporarily due to His Majesty's order, but Han Jinxiu knew that this matter was not simple, and Huixin was just a substitute for the dead ghost. His Majesty is unwilling to continue to pursue it, it will involve the second prince Yu Wang, in case it is really as Huixin said, it will affect the reputation of the royal family, and Concubine Xi has been demoted to Concubine Xi, who makes her stomach fight, there is a talisman, in a short period of time, Concubine Xi will not be able to move.

March 20 arrived, and the Chengguo Mansion began to gather before dawn, ready to welcome today's distinguished guests. Chengguo Duchess Yao had already instructed people what they should do, and now she is telling her pair of children in the house, the sixteen-year-old Xu Zifeng, the eldest son of the Chengguo Mansion, and the fifteen-year-old Xu Zijiao, the eldest daughter of the Chengguo Mansion, "Today, many guests are coming, the male guests here will be assisted by Feng'er to assist their father Zhang Luo, and the female guests will be assisted by Jiao'er to assist me, you must remember that there must be no mistakes." ”

"Yes, mother, son (daughter) wrote it down." Xu Zifeng and Xu Zijiao responded in unison.

Duchess Chengguo Yao bowed: "Just write it down, when you two meet, you will go to the second gate to pick up guests, several princes and princesses in the palace must be careful to serve, pay attention to the number of etiquette, don't be careless, especially the second princess." "Specially explained to the second princess, there is also a reason, the second princess Zhou Yuandie's biological mother Xu Huifei is from the Chengguo Mansion, Concubine Xu Hui has always had a close relationship with the Chengguo Mansion, because she has no prince under her knees, His Majesty is more and more important to the Chengguo Mansion.

Xu Zijiao smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, we have written it down, and we will not let my mother down." Stretched out his hand and affectionately held the Duchess of Chengguo, Yao, who got up.

Yao patted the back of Xu Zijiao's hand affectionately: "Well, then you guys go quickly, don't let the guests wait for you." ”

The brother and sister arrived at the second gate one after the other to greet today's guests, and the children of the families of officials above the fourth rank in the DPRK were invited, and it seems that the Chengguo Mansion is very lively today.

The Chengguo Mansion is full of people, and in the end, Shanshan naturally arrived several princes and princesses in the palace, and the Chengguo Mansion was able to invite them, not only because the Chengguo Mansion was deeply valued by His Majesty, but also because the Chengguo Mansion produced a Concubine Xu Hui.
