This night, Xiangye was not idle, he chose a concubine in the house as Ouyang Tong's adoptive mother. "Do you know why I chose you to be Hitomi's adoptive mother?" Xiangye looked at the concubine in front of him and said coldly. "I don't know about the concubine." The concubine replied respectfully. "There are many concubines in the house, but you are the most secure." Xiangye looked at the concubine in front of him meaningfully. "Although your father is not a high-ranking official, he has been conscientious and conscientious in the DPRK for so many years." Xiangye took a sip of tea and said seriously. "Thank you for the compliment." The concubine still replied respectfully. "If you become Tong'er's adoptive mother, I will ask the emperor to make you my wife." Xiangye said bluntly. The concubine hurriedly knelt down and said a little anxiously: "The concubine was born in a small family, and it is difficult to bear such a heavy responsibility. Xiangye helped up the concubine: "You don't have to worry, listen to me." ”

"Yes." The concubine stood respectfully in front of Xiang Ye, waiting for Xiang Ye's words. "Hitomi has passed away." Xiangye said with a little sadness. The concubine was a little surprised, and frowned slightly: "Then who is in the young lady's room at this time?" Xiangye glanced at the concubine: "That's the child I picked up from outside, used to replace Hitomi." The concubine nodded: "The daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion has a bright future, this is the blessing of that child." Xiangye shook his head: "Whether you are blessed or not, it depends on the child's own future creation." The concubine nodded respectfully: "What Xiangye said is true." "I just don't know which way Xiangye is going to let that child go?" The concubine asked in a low voice. Xiangye looked at the concubine in front of him and admired it a little: "Why aren't you surprised by this?" ”

The concubine saluted and whispered: "Xiangye has already found a concubine, and he has said many things, he must already know everything about the concubine, why should I pretend to be crazy and stupid and waste time." Xiangye smiled slightly: "With your intelligence, you can help me achieve great things in the future." The concubine saluted: "Thank you for the compliment." "That kid is born with a beautiful appearance, I want you to cultivate it carefully, and be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Xiangye took care of the concubine carefully. "Yes." The concubine nodded. "It's best, so that she can be famous before she leaves the cabinet, and I want the world to know that the daughter of my grandfather's mansion is all over the country." Xiangye looked at the concubine and said seriously. The concubine nodded: "The concubine understands." "The covenant of today is fulfilled, and you and I will be one flesh from now on." Xiangye took the concubine's hand and said meaningfully. The concubine smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, Xiangye." ”

Within three days, the holy decree arrived at the Xiangye's mansion, and the concubine Zhang became the new mistress of the Xiangye's mansion. "Congratulations, Mrs. Hexi." Everyone came to thank Zhang, and Zhang returned the salute one by one. After everyone dispersed, Zhang sat on a chair and drank tea, and then sighed. "Madam, now that you are the eldest in this Prime Minister's Mansion, why do you still sigh?" Zhang's henchman Xuan'er asked. Zhang smiled: "I'm the biggest?" In this prime minister's house, Xiangye is the largest. Xuan'er nodded: "It's Xuan'er who said the wrong thing." Zhang shook his head: "It's okay. Xuan'er saw that Zhang's was still sullen, and asked curiously, "I don't know what Madame is worried about." "Xuan'er, why do you say that Xiangye wants to ask me to be the wife of Xiangfu?" Zhang looked at the osmanthus tree outside the door and asked lightly.

"That's naturally valuing Madame." Xuan'er thought for a moment and replied. "Valued?" Zhang asked rhetorically. "Naturally, yes." Xuan'er replied in the affirmative. "I'm just a pawn on Xiangye's chessboard." Zhang said with some sadness. Xuan'er looked outside the door and saw that there was no one around, so she hurriedly closed the door. "Madam, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, there are many people staring at Madame now." Xuan'er reminded Zhang in a whisper. "I was not born high, and my father was not in a high official position. The emperor has always been jealous of Xiangye, after the death of his wife, Xiangye has not remarried, and the emperor has asked Xiangye many times for this matter, for fear that Xiangye will marry a high-ranking official woman, and the power will be greater. Now Xiangye has brought me up as a wife, just to reassure the emperor and relax his vigilance against Xiangye. Zhang said lightly. Did you hear the decree just now? Two loves, two loves. Zhang muttered.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Xuan'er was a little puzzled. "Xiangye just wants to tell the emperor that now he only wants family harmony, and he is only obsessed with the love of his children, and he doesn't care about political affairs." Zhang explained. "The slave doesn't understand." Xuan'er shook her head. "Hey, that's it, since the matter has come, then I will be my wife of the Prime Minister's House." Zhang put away the sentimentality and replaced it with his usual smiling face. "Let's go, let's go see Miss." Zhang got up and took Xuan'er to Miss's room. "Ma'am." The guard at the gate of the young lady's courtyard saluted Zhang. "Can Miss be in there?" Zhang asked softly. "Yes, Miss's body has just improved a little and she is recuperating." The guard replied truthfully. "Can I go in and have a look?" Zhang asked in a low voice. "Yes, Xiangye has explained, except for Madame, no one else can approach Miss." The guard replied truthfully.

"Okay, then I'll go in and take a look at Miss alone." Zhang nodded, and then Xuan'er took out some broken silver from her sleeve and stuffed it to the guard. Zhang walked into Ouyang Tong's courtyard alone. "Ma'am." As soon as she entered the courtyard, the woman who had been taking care of Xiao Tong came out to salute Zhang. "Who are you?" Zhang's was a little strange, the old man didn't say that there were other people to take care of Miss. "The slave's surname is Tian, and she is the aunt assigned by the master to take care of the young lady." Aunt Tian introduced herself. "How's the young lady doing now?" Zhang asked as he walked inside. "It's already great." Aunt Tian replied respectfully. "Are you awake or asleep?" Zhang asked seriously. "I'm asleep." Aunt Tian replied.

Zhang cautiously walked to the side of the bed, and when he saw the little person lying on the bed, he couldn't help but take a few more looks: "This child, as Xiangye said, is extremely beautiful." Aunt Tian replied respectfully: "Madame is cautious, Miss is Ouyang Tong." Zhang came back to his senses and smiled: "It's me who lost my words." In the future, this will be my child, the only daughter of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Tong. Aunt Tian nodded: "Exactly, congratulations to Mrs. for having a noble daughter." Zhang looked at Aunt Tian carefully and asked patiently, "Is there anyone else in Aunt Tian's family?" Aunt Tian's expression paused, and then replied: "The slave family is alone, and they are not close. Zhang sighed slightly: "Hey, it's also a poor person, in the future, you will be fully responsible for Miss's life, and the rest of you can't approach it." ”

Aunt Tian saluted respectfully: "Yes, madam." Zhang got up, and when he walked to the door, he turned back and said, "In the future, I will come to accompany Miss every day, after all, I have been separated for too long, and I don't have a deep relationship with Miss." Aunt Tian nodded: "Madame, don't worry, Miss has a lot of trust in me, and I will do my best to persuade Miss." Zhang nodded, very satisfied: "That's very good." In fact, both the Zhang family and Aunt Tian understand in their hearts that this child's future path is only afraid that it will be miserable. And the two of them, one is because this child will not live on the streets, and the other is because this child has become the wife of Xiangfu, but they are all gathered for profit.

After that, Zhang would go to Ouyang Tong's yard every day to play with Ouyang Tong. Under the persuasion of Aunt Tian, three months later, Xiao Hitomi began to call Zhang's mother. Xiangye saw that Zhang's subdued the child so quickly, and he also admired Zhang's in his heart. "The child's appearance is too different from before, and it is not suitable to go out to meet people now." Zhang looked at Xiao Hitomi, who was having fun in the yard, and said to Aunt Tian with some concern. "Yes, the lord has sent many guards to guard here on the grounds that Miss's previous serious illness was artificial, and ordinary people can't come in, Miss is a woman after all, so naturally she shouldn't leave this courtyard." Aunt Tian comforted. Zhang sighed slightly: "I don't know, what will be the fate of this child in the future." Aunt Tian looked at Xiao Tong: "Let's look at her own creation." ”
