To Ning Jiao's surprise, the next day, King Duan actually sent someone to discuss the matter of the side concubine.

A day ago, he was still the fourth prince, and after one night, he became a prince.

Aunt Zhou was overjoyed and held Ning Jiao's hand and said, "Great, my Jiao'er will be the princess in the future!" ”

This joy came too quickly, even if Ning Jiao had fantasized about it before, but when it really came to the eyes, there was still an unrealistic illusion.

"Auntie, I heard you right, right?"

"No, it's His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness - His Royal Highness Duanwang sent someone to come, and he will take you to the palace on the fifth day of the first lunar month next month."

Aunt Zhou's eyes were moist, and she was busy clasping her hands together and bowing to the east, "Thank you God for blessing, God opened her eyes, my Jiao'er finally came out!" ”

Ning Jiao thought that she would be happy to get the news, but she found that at this moment, in addition to being a little shocked, she also had a faint sense of loss.

Why are you lost?

She's obviously about to become a noble princess—

Even if it's a side concubine!

"Auntie, will Ning Shu see me and salute at that time?"

She asked in a daze, this should be the only thing to be happy about, right?

Aunt Zhou glanced at her with hatred of iron and steel, "What is a Ning Shu, all the courtiers and wives will salute when they see you!" ”

Ning Jiao smiled bitterly in her heart.

Really? She is just a side concubine, will she have a chance to be taken to a crowded occasion by King Duan?

Some people rejoice and some people worry.

Ning Jiao's aunt has already begun to prepare, and in Lian Fuzhong, in an elegant courtyard, Lian Yuyao has broken no less than four sets of tea sets in just half a day.

"Why? Why did the side concubine enter the door? ”

Mrs. Lian held her breath in her heart, but now that Lian Shangshu has not yet gone to court, she doesn't know the specific situation, so she can only patiently dissuade her:

"Don't be angry first, she's just a side concubine, can she still get past you? You haven't seen your cousin for a long time, have you forgotten the calm and leisurely set you learned from your cousin? ”

"But she is in the palace before me!" Even Yu Yao was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly, and she wanted to find a place to vent, but she found that the room was in a mess, and there was nothing left for her to beat.

Mrs. Lian's eyes sank, "The side concubine will not hold a big banquet when she enters the door, and she will not even leave the main gate." Besides, didn't Miao Jiang's people already do something to her? ”

"But I just can't swallow that!" Lian Yuyao's eyes burned with anger, and he breathed heavily, barely calming himself.

"But the mother is right, even if she enters the palace first, she will not conceive a child!"

Lian Shangshu introduced the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang to Lian Yuyao on the eve of the chrysanthemum feast, in order to let them wait for the opportunity to do tricks on Ning Jiao's body, and be prepared for the unprepared, so as to prevent Ning Jiao from becoming pregnant with Duanwang's child before Lian Yuyao entered.

Seeing that she had finally stabilized a little, Mrs. Lian sighed, "Yes, and your father will not sit idly by." ”

"What stood by?" Lian Shangshu's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and Lian Yuyao's eyes were hot, and he cried to greet him.

"Daddy!"

Lian Yuyao's tears were like beads with broken threads, and the big ones slipped down.

She cried aggrievedly: "Daddy, I heard that the little slut of the Ning family is going to enter the palace, is this true?" ”

Lian Shangshu smiled disdainfully, glanced at the broken porcelain pieces all over the room, and said indifferently: "What else should it be, such a trivial matter makes you angry like this?" ”

"Daddy!" Lian Yuyao stomped his feet and cried even more fiercely, "Didn't Daddy say that the position of the Fourth Highness's concubine belongs to me?" Now that His Royal Highness has been crowned king, and an unknown little concubine has advanced the palace than me, Daddy, don't you love Yuyao anymore? How can you still laugh? ”

Lian Shangshu stepped over the mess of the house, came to Mrs. Lian and sat down, and Mrs. Lian said urgently: "Master, it is always impossible for the side concubine to enter the door first, right?" ”

"Not bad." Lian Shangshu waved his hand, calm as before, "Don't worry, you two don't worry, I have already asked King Duan about this matter, just a side concubine, don't we care too much about her?" ”

"What did the king say?" Of course, even Madame doesn't want to care too much about Ning Jiao, but this little concubine will be compared with her baby daughter in the future!

Lian Shangshu glanced at Lian Yuyao, who was still sobbing, "Three days later, the king will personally come to the palace to propose marriage, and on the fifth day of the next month, you and the side concubine will enter the palace together!" ”

"Huh?!" Even Yuyao was stunned, and Mrs. Lian was even more dumbfounded.

"That's not quite right, is it?"

"Suitable!" Even Yu Yao suddenly became interested, and her tears stopped in an instant, although there were still a few small teardrops on her cheeks, her expression had been renewed.

"I'll go in with her! It's so suitable! ”

There is a difference between the concubine and the concubine, the concubine and the concubine enter the door at the same time, and the concubine is destined to be left out in the cold.

When I thought that I couldn't even wear a red wedding dress on the wedding night, I couldn't even see my husband, and I had to listen to the blessings of the wedding in the front yard, and then I stayed alone in the empty room-

Lian Yuyao became more and more excited, "Father, that's it, right?" ”

Mrs. Lian seemed to see through Lian Yuyao's careful thoughts, and responded with a smile: "Master, just that day." ”

"Okay."

As soon as the marriage between Yuyao and Duanwang came out, Ning Jiao was miserable.

Let's just say that the red makeup that is ten miles long is beyond her reach.

Twisting the half-embroidered red wedding dress in her hand, she suddenly began to think about whether Ning Shu was sincere or had ulterior motives for helping her enter the palace as soon as possible.

And Ning Shu was carefully studying the flowers in the room, and couldn't help but smile when she heard the news.

It seems that Lian Shangshu was really confused by Ning Jiao's matter.

So, let's wait for Ning Jiao's good news-

Outside the door, Long Shan came to report that the carriage was ready, and Ning Shu walked out of the Guogong Mansion with a cloak.

The day has come to meet Mrs. Qi, and I hope that the person who poisoned can be found today.

As soon as he stepped into Mrs. Qi's door, a strong smell of medicine came to his face.

Ning Shu frowned and walked in, asking as she went, "Sister Zhu, this is not the medicine I prescribed, right?" ”

Mrs. Qi was staring at the medicine bowl in front of her to prepare mentally, and as soon as Ning Shu came, she gave her a justifiable reason not to drink the medicine, and said with a smile: "You came just in time, let's see what kind of medicine you prescribed to me?" How is it more bitter than all the pills I've drunk before combined? ”

Ning Shu took the medicine bowl with a solemn face and put it under the tip of her nose and smelled it, of course she remembered the prescription she prescribed, and it would not be this taste when it came out, and her heart tightened at the moment, "This is not the prescription I gave you, who is boiling medicine for you in your house?" ”

Mrs. Qi was stunned, "What? You mean the medicine was changed? ”
