Chapter 540: care about
Zheng Anya was born to be driven crazy by Concubine Zheng Rong. I heard that nowadays, she sings operas at home every day with her sleeves swinging. Listening to the double song on the moon pillow. Listening to the counting and worrying, I am afraid that the fourth watch will be too early. The fourth watch is not enough, and the night is like a shuttle. Oh my god! What's wrong with the first watch..."
Fan listened, and there was no one who did not shed tears. In the capital, more and more people scolded Concubine Zheng Rong. In addition, His Royal Highness the Third Prince also lost her good reputation.
Concubine Zheng Rong thought, the Xie family did not stand idly by on the matter of her mother and child, and contributed a lot to it. They had already hated Xie Zhiwei as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. However, compared to some people, someone who has lived in the palace for so many years, she rank is much higher.
Ignoring this section, Concubine Zheng Rong asked with a smile, "The day before yesterday, Concubine Xiang came to the palace to pay her respects to the empress, and happened to meet me. I asked about the good days of the princess and Prince Chen. He also said that there is no shadow."
Whether there is a shadow or not, this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and there is no escape!
Concubine Zheng Rong said this, but she was mocking Xie Zhiwei. She hasn't been married yet, so she won't be liked by her mother-in-law.
Xie Zhi smiled slightly, "Duan Xian would like to thank Concubine Rong for her concern. It is still early for Duan Xian to leave Jiji. The county prince is also working hard in Western Xinjiang. The elders have to worry about marriage. It is really not Duan Xian's turn to ask."
This is the demeanor of the sons and daughters of the aristocratic family. Don't be in a hurry, don't be impatient, don't ask, don't hear inappropriate.
It seems that Concubine Zheng Rong doesn't know how to be polite, and she really shouldn't discuss marriage in front of a boudoir daughter.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's start!" The queen spoke, Zheng Rongfei and Xie Zhiwei naturally stopped mentioning it, and the atmosphere became harmonious again in an instant.
The second prince and Mrs. Cui are okay, both of them are well prepared, especially Mrs. Cui. Before Xie Zhiwei entered the palace today, he asked someone to tell Mrs. Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Cui prepared an extra gift, when it was Xie Zhiwei's turn , Cui gave gifts to Yuan Jia, Ling Hua and other princesses, and also gave a copy to Xie Zhiwei.
It was only Haishi's turn, and Xie Zhiwei suddenly appeared. She was unprepared for a moment, and in a hurry, pulled out a hairpin from her head and gave it to Xie Zhiwei. Xie Zhiwei didn't want it, "Fourth prince concubine, this is not good Well, you are a newlywed, even though you only wear this outfit today, it is still a thought to keep it in the future, I am rude, it is not the fourth prince's concubine's fault."
Only in this way, it seems that the high and low are obvious. Although Xie Zhiwei said that he didn't blame Hai Shi, why did Cui Shi prepare an extra gift? This is Cui's thoughtfulness.
Xiao Changxuan was very upset immediately. He glared at Haishi, then said to the queen with a smile, "Mother, my son brought Xue Shi here today, she is the cousin of Princess Duanxian!"
"Oh!" The queen smiled, and gave Xue Wanqing a meaningful look, "I heard about it, but I don't know that you are still Wei Yatou's cousin. Since you have entered the royal family, you must abide by the royal family's rules from now on." In terms of etiquette, there is no need to say who you belonged to, after all, you are not a concubine, do you understand this truth?"
Xue Wanqing did not expect that the queen would be so fussy, she took a deep breath, decided that the hero would not suffer the immediate loss, knelt down, and said respectfully, "Yes, Wanqing obeys the queen's order!"
At this moment, she felt deeply that there was a natural barrier between wives and concubines, even if Xiao Changxuan used his body as a bridge, it could not be crossed.
And if she wants to rise to the top, the only way is for Xiao Changxuan to sit on the position of the Ninth Five Lord, otherwise, it will never be possible.
Doting on concubines and destroying wives will only make Xiao Changxuan die faster. From now on, she is afraid that she will have to work hard to let the emperor see Xiao Changxuan's ability as soon as possible, so that he can be named the prince in the future.
Before that, she had to draw an ally.
Xue Wanqing couldn't help raising her eyes to look at Xie Zhiwei, and had to say that the Xie family can play a pivotal role in establishing a reserve.
Firstly, the Xie family has always been neutral, and if he can speak for any prince, the emperor has to take it seriously; secondly, the Xie family now has Xiao Xun on the outside and Lu Yan on the inside, based on the relationship between Xie Zhiwei and these two people, as long as Xie Zhiwei was willing to stand by Xiao Changxuan's side, it was a breeze for Xiao Changxuan to be crowned prince.
After recognizing her relatives, Xie Zhiwei came out of the palace, and Nanny Xi personally escorted her to the gate of Donghua Gate. Seeing Xie Zhiwei's carriage parked there in good order, Nanny Xi's eyes twitched. Only Princess Duanxian is left.
In this palace, inside and out, it is said that the emperor is in charge of the court and the queen is in charge of the harem. In fact, the real person in power is Mr. Lu.
"Princess, be careful on the road, the maidservant will go back to order." Mammy Xi couldn't help but become more respectful to Xie Zhiwei.
"Mommy, please go slowly!"
Xie Zhiwei got into the carriage, and within a short distance, the carriage was stopped, and Xue Wanqing's face appeared in the opposite carriage, she smiled and said, "Big cousin, in front of you is Qingle Teahouse, the tea in it The snacks and snacks are very good, I wonder if I can invite my cousin to have a cup of tea?"
Qingle Tea House is owned by Xie Zhiwei, and she hasn't been there for a long time. Seeing Xue Wanqing's sudden change, she really wanted to know what kind of medicine Xue Wanqing was selling in her gourd, so she ordered Uncle Zhu to drive over there.
The shopkeeper saw Xie Zhiwei coming, and he was so attentive that Xie Zhiwei could step on his back, "It happens that there is an elegant seat upstairs, and the young one will take the girl up."
Xue Wanqing still didn't understand why, and said in her heart that her eldest cousin really likes to pretend to be cool as always, and she would also pretend to be aggressive in front of the owner of a small tea shop, for fear that others would not know her noble status.
The private room is decorated very elegantly and noblely, with mahogany furniture of the same color, and a pot of pruned red plums facing the window, in the posture of a crane welcoming guests. The blossoming red plums are bright and fragrant, and the fragrance of the flowers is compelling under the steaming heat. .
The two sat down at the table, and Xie Zhiwei didn't ask anyone in the shop to wait on him. Xuantao made a small red clay stove, put out the tea set, and just ordered the new tea from the shop, and made a pot of Biluochun with the snow water he brought.
"Please!" After Xuan Tao divided the tea, Xie Zhiwei picked up the teacup, said, and took a sip by himself.
Mei Sheng is called Xiangxuehai every time, and Chajian is called Biluochun.
The fragrance is strong and full of sweetness after drinking. Xie Zhiwei sighed in his heart about the good tea, and then heard Xue Wanqing laughing, "The eldest cousin is still the same as before, and she pays attention to everything. Is this the only way to make the eldest cousin look noble?"
The second update!
