CHAPTER XLIII

The news that Lin Jiao brought back three Teng concubines from Yikun Palace instantly spread throughout the entire palace, and several brothers who were familiar with him sent congratulatory gifts one after another to celebrate Lin Jiao's official adulthood.

He wanted to write a letter and send it to Xin Yi, but before he could put pen to paper, he crumpled the paper and threw it away.

Now, it's not the time! Xin Yi naturally didn't know the inside story, and when she first heard the news, she was stunned for a moment, and then left it behind, because ...... Concubine Ming finally agreed to let her recruit a son-in-law.

Not only that, Concubine Ming even took out a thick list of sons-in-law, with a detailed record of the candidates, and the service was considerate and thoughtful.

So much so that Xin Yi was a little overwhelmed when he took the list,

"Mother? This ......" Concubine Ming held a graceful posture and pointed to the list with a smile,

"Bengong has thought about it recently, your father is kind to Bengong, since he has a dream for you, he must be unwilling, Bengong can't let him live in peace underneath." She pointed to the five imperial concubines sitting on the other side,

"This palace asked the Gorou family to record all the suitable children in Kyoto on this list, the candidates are reliable, you can choose them well."

"That's it...... Because of recruiting a son-in-law, people with better conditions will not agree, so ......" Xin Yi shook her head again and again, she is self-aware, an orphan daughter of a five-grade petty official wants to recruit a son-in-law, even if there is a royal family behind her, there will be no too good candidate to agree.

Even if there really is...... I'm afraid it also has ulterior motives. Therefore, she planned to find an honest commoner from the beginning.

"Niangniang, Xin Yi is self-aware, and he doesn't dare to climb the power."

"What are you talking about, Fifth Lady!" The Fifth Imperial Concubine, who had always been cold to Xin Yi, also smiled today, and she laughed and teased: "Even if you don't mention your thirty percent silver in Huanrong Pavilion, the mother concubine will give you a rich dowry." Concubine Ming also echoed: "Yes, you can be regarded as growing up in the palace, although you and I do not have the reality of mother and daughter, but in the name of mother and daughter, it is also appropriate to give you a dowry." Concubine Liu of the Five Princes' Mansion also hugged the eldest grandson, sat under the five imperial concubines, and echoed with a smile: "Yes, this list was compiled by my sister herself, and everyone in it was carefully selected by her." Concubine Ming glanced at it, and sat opposite the two wives and concubines who were not in harmony, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

Today, Concubine Liu suddenly wanted to save the emperor's grandson with Xin Yi, and she had to thank her in person in the name of following the Wulang family into the palace to ask for peace, she thought it was a good thing, but now it seems that there is something inside.

Also, if you want to thank you personally, thank you a long time ago, and you can wait for more than half a month before you bring it up?

She turned her gaze back to the list and interrupted with a smile: "Xin Yi, this palace suddenly remembered that this list should not be comprehensive, and when the palace is finished supplementing, I will let you choose." Xu has never experienced this kind of struggle between wives and concubines, Xin Yi's mentality is still at the stage of office sisters, she does not notice anything unusual in the slightest, and she is very interested in this list now.

"It's okay, mother, I'll take a look first, if there is a suitable one, you don't have to bother to continue looking." The five imperial concubines smiled and motioned to Xin Yi to open the list, only to see that the first page was written by Zhu Yao, the nephew of Tang Baonei, a member of the fifth grade, who was seventeen years old, with a pure temperament and excellent demeanor...... In a few strokes, the life of this man named Zhu Yao was introduced, but Xin Yi looked at it and felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Is the fifth rank member Wailang Tang Baonei's nephew?" She muttered and repeated, the name seemed a little familiar.

"Ah, isn't that your father's name, sister? Nephew, isn't that your cousin? Concubine Liu seemed to have just heard Xin Yi's muttering, and she was surprised to popularize the man's identity.

When Concubine Ming heard this, her face instantly darkened. Xin Yi also suddenly came to his senses. The mother of the five imperial concubines is surnamed Zhu, and this Zhu Yao is the cousin of the five imperial concubines!

But what made Concubine Ming's face black and Xin Yi suddenly realized was not Zhu Yao's identity, but the rumors carried by this identity.

Just ten days ago, this vermilion sickle because of shopping

"Changchun Courtyard" and another man to compete for the small man, relying on the five big and three thick, the man broke the man's legs, but what he didn't expect was that the man turned out to be a favored concubine of a certain national government.

This matter, if it weren't for the fact that the fifth prince personally pressed Zhu Yao to apologize to the Guogong Mansion later, if it weren't for the fact that the grandfather of the country felt that the reputation of fighting for the little man was not good, it would definitely not be so easy to solve.

Thinking of this Zhu Yao's reputation, Xin Yi couldn't help but darken his face. The fifth imperial concubine didn't have the slightest sensitivity to see people's faces, she was still there and talked: "Wu Niang, don't look at my cousin's reputation is not very good, but his character is really nothing to say, he is especially good at flattering people and will come to trouble." ”

"You see, even if you recruit a son-in-law, you will definitely not be able to recruit any good people, my cousin and I are the closest, with our relationship, he will definitely not bully you, their Zhu family has my cousin inheritance, and they will not cut off the incense, what a good thing."
