Sheng Hong categorically said that he would never accept a palace concubine.

Concubine Mei's attitude is also resolute, either Xie Mingxi is pregnant and gives birth, or she has to accept the palace concubine into the palace. The position of the prince must not be left behind.

The mother and son, who have a good relationship, have to argue every day because of this matter. It often ends with Concubine Mei's crying. After Sheng Hong returned to the Jiaofang Palace, he had to comfort his wife and daughter distressedly. Especially the vigorous Arlo.

After half a month, Sheng Hong was so grinding that he had a headache and lost a lot of weight.

The feud between Concubine Mei and Empress Xie spread all over the palace and beyond, and everyone knew about it.

Yin Xiaoxiao and Zhao Changqing both have sons, so it is inconvenient to open their mouths to comfort Xie Mingxi at this time. Xiao Yuhan often came to the Jiaofang Hall to sit for a while, and accompanied Xie Mingxi to gossip and relieve his boredom.

However, Xie Mingxi is really good at hiding his true emotions, and he talks and laughs as well as ever. Xiao Yuhan wanted to be comforted, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Xie Mingxi knew Xiao Yuhan's intentions, and laughed in a low voice: "I understand the meaning of the imperial sister-in-law's concern." I can handle the little things. The imperial sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about me. ”

Even the shrewd, deep and ruthless Empress Dowager Yu was defeated in the hands of Xie Mingxi, and a mere Concubine Mei is nothing.

After speaking, Xiao Yuhan no longer concealed it: "I know your ability." It's just that Concubine Mei is the emperor's biological mother in the end, and you can't deal with the concubine like you did with Empress Dowager Yu back then. ”

Therefore, as a mother-in-law, you have the confidence and qualifications to act willfully!

Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "I know how to measure. ”

If you can't use intrigue and trickery, then slowly consume it to see who has more patience.

Xiao Yuhan's gaze fell on Xie Mingxi's calm face, and he hesitated for a while before he said softly: "You and the emperor have a deep relationship with each other, and the emperor is unwilling to accept the palace concubine, and he is wholeheartedly devoted to you." It's just that you have to think it through. In the future, there will always be a day when the reserve will be established. When the time comes, what should you do? ”

Are you really willing to pick a nephew to follow?

Although the concubine is not as good as the concubine, but on the premise of not having a son, the concubine is better than the nephew!

Xie Mingxi was noncommittal, and smiled casually: "Later, I'll talk about it later." ”

The matter involves the establishment of the reserve, and it is taboo to say too much. Xiao Yuhan stopped at the point and said no more. quickly opened the topic and gossiped with Xie Mingxi.

Xiang Hui came in with a smile and reported: "Queen Qiyu, Mrs. Xu entered the palace to ask for peace, and waited in the side hall!" ”

Xiao Yuhan got up and retired with interest.

Xie Mingxi sent Xiao Yuhan out, and then summoned the Xu family to meet him.

……

The Xu family enters the palace on weekdays, mostly with the Sun family, or with Xie Zijin. Today, I unexpectedly took Miss Xie Si Xie Rouxi into the palace.

Xie Rouxi is sixteen years old this year, which is the age of flowers and delicate. Willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, gentle and beautiful. Wearing a goose-yellow Luo skirt, standing there pretty, very pleasing to the eye.

Together with Xie Yunxi, who has been dead for many years, Xie Jun has three daughters and two sons. Regardless of whether they are smart or not, their children are all good-looking. Of course, Xie Rouxi is not as beautiful as Xie Mingxi when she was young, and she is also a rare beauty.

"Rou Xi has seen the queen mother." Xie Rouxi's voice was delicate and pleasant.

Xie Mingxi liked this docile and obedient sister quite a bit, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, sit down and talk." ”

Xie Rouxi thanked for her grace and sat down beside Xu.

Xie Rouxi hung her head, unable to see the expression on her face.

Xu lived for a long time, and he had the demeanor of being more and more energetic, more and more energetic, and he first greeted Xie Mingxi with a smile: "I haven't been in the palace for a while." I always think about the queen in my heart. When I saw it today, the queen's demeanor was still the same, as in the past, and I felt comforted. ”

There was something in Xu's words, Xie Mingxi heard it clearly, and smiled slightly: "Grandmother Lao is worried." ”

Can you not be worried?

The queen of the middle palace and the concubine Niangniang quarreled and quarreled, and they were rejected by the concubine Niangniang for half a month. Who doesn't know about this?

As a daughter-in-law, competing with her mother-in-law is naturally at a disadvantage. No matter how shrewd Xie Mingxi is, he can't do anything against his mother-in-law, he can only suffer a loss.

The Xie family was in a hurry.

Xu coughed and glanced left and right.

Xie Mingxi's eyes swept away, and Xiang Hui and the others retreated. Without the palace maid by his side, it is much more convenient to speak casually.

Xu still lowered his voice: "I heard that the queen mother and the concubine mother had a dispute over the matter of the palace concubine, and they have not reconciled yet." Ah Jun was also very anxious, and specially asked me to enter the palace to ask Niangniang what her plan was. ”

Xie Mingxi didn't answer and asked: "What does my father think I have planned?" ”

Xu: "......"

Xu subconsciously glanced at Xie Rouxi beside him.

Xie Jun's plan is obvious.

Xie Mingxi has no children, and sooner or later he will have to choose a palace concubine for the Son of Heaven. There is such a thing on the left and right, instead of cheapening outsiders, it is better to cheapen your own sister......

Xie Rouxi didn't look up, her body trembled slightly.

Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed with ridicule and mockery, and suddenly said, "Fourth sister, I have something to say to my grandmother, you stand aside for the time being." ”

Xie Rouxi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, responded in a low voice, and withdrew.

Xu's heartbeat skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a not-so-wonderful premonition.

……

Sure enough, as soon as Xie Rouxi left, Xie Mingxi's face turned cold, and his words were as sharp as arrows: "Father has been delaying the marriage of the fourth sister, just for this day?" ”

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to give birth to a prince, and I'm afraid that my position in the middle palace will be unstable, so I want my own sister to enter the palace as a palace concubine and give birth to an heir for my husband? Do you want me to learn from the Empress Dowager Yu back then? ”

Rao is Xu's face is thick enough, and his face is also hot because of this ridicule.

The Xie family has a queen, Xie Jun has become a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the Xie family is now an upstart in the capital, and it is not difficult to choose a good family affair for Xie Rouxi.

Since Xie Rouxi and Lu, there have been many official media who have come to the door to propose relatives. Empress Xie only has such a sister, married Xie Rouxi, and became a brother-in-law with the emperor. There are really many people who are tempted by such good things.

However, Xie Jun never responded, and it was quite a meaning to leave Xie Rouxi in the boudoir for two more years.

It was only today that Xie Jun's true intentions were revealed.

Xie Mingxi's sneer sounded: "The Xie family has a queen, it's not enough. This is to want to have another palace concubine, it is best to give birth to an heir when you enter the palace, and be established as a prince in the future. The Xie family has become the prince's foreign family, and it will be more prominent. At that time, it was only natural that my father, who was the grandfather of the prince, was made a prince. Father's calculation can be described as well-intentioned! ”

Xu Shi was full of cold sweat when he heard this, where could he still sit still, and immediately got up and confessed: "The queen mother is angry, and the Xie family has no such intention." Please let the queen be angry. ”
