Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 193
Zhao Xiwei returned to his yard.

Jinxiu and all the maids knelt in the courtyard to welcome her.

Zhao Xi slightly raised his head and looked around the small courtyard. He had only been away for two days, but he suddenly felt that the place had become a little strange.

In the past two days, many accidents happened, all the servants looked gloomy, and even Yin Bao, who talked the most, became much quieter.

Zhao Xiwei also felt very tired. Mother Liu thoughtfully made a bowl of brown sugar water, and she just took a few sips.

When Jinxiu saw her, she suggested: "Miss, I just got a piece of fabric from the storeroom today, it is light and breathable, and the servant girl thought it would be perfect for the window screen of the study, and now I have burned warm silver frost charcoal, you Do you want to sit down?"

When the young lady is preoccupied, she will read a book for a while, and after an hour passes, she will feel refreshed again.

Zhao Xiwei thought about it, and felt that this proposal was very good, so he got up and went to the study.

She has been by her mother's side since she was a child, and has had enough of the hardships of life, but her mother has not forgotten her education.

Literacy has never been lost.

And because she is not bound by a wealthy family, her reading is not limited to female students and female rings, but more for her own hobbies.

From landscape travel notes to regional and national annals, read what you like.

Zhao Xiwei was sitting under the window reading a book, while Jinxiu and the others took the embroidery frame and quietly embroidered by the side.

In such a quiet and quiet atmosphere, Zhao Xiwei's troubled heart gradually calmed down.

Soldiers come to block water and earth to cover, no matter how difficult the life is, there will always be a day when the clouds will break through the sky.

After reading only a few pages of the book, a little girl raised the curtain with her head poking around.

Jin Xiu hurriedly scolded in a low voice: "Miss is reading a book!"

The little girl shrank her head timidly: "This servant is here to deliver a message."

Yin Bao waved his hand angrily: "Go, go, and then sneakily tie you up and throw you to the woodshed!"

The little girl's face turned pale, and she spoke with a crying tone: "Sister, spare me, the little one doesn't dare."

Zhao Xiwei put down the book after listening, and said with a smile: "She is young, don't scare her."

Then he casually grabbed a handful of candied fruit from the fruit basket on the table: "Here, if you have anything to say, speak slowly."

The little girl took the candied fruit, showed a sweet smile, and reported [-]: "His Royal Highness sent a servant to send a message that he has gone back."

Zhao Xi was taken aback for a moment, and went back so soon?
What did he talk to his father about?
How is the talk?
She looked at the little girl suspiciously.

Jinxiu and the others put down their needlework and waited curiously for the next chapter.

The little girl recalled the scene of meeting the prince in the corridor, she didn't dare to look up at that time, she only caught a glimpse of his clothes out of the corner of her eye, and she already felt very stressed.

Now I am a little nervous to pass the word: "When your highness came out of the main room, the servant girl was going to deliver soup and medicine to the master, so your highness asked the servant girl to tell the young lady that he will arrange everything and let the young lady wait in the palace. news."

"Have everything organized"

"Waiting for news from the palace"

This nonsensical sentence made the eyes of the maids widen.

Zhao Xiwei was also a little stunned, and after he figured it out, his face suddenly turned red.

On the second day, Zhao Xiwei got up early, and the imperial edict came from the palace.

The one who delivered the decree was a servant in red clothes, about 50 or [-] years old, with kind eyes, and when he saw Zhao Xiwei, he smiled very kindly: "You are a blessed one, and this servant congratulates you."

Everyone in the Zhao residence fell to their knees in a clamor.

The imperial decree is short and clear, just two or three sentences.

Zhao Xiwei hurriedly thanked him personally.

As expected of the emperor's side, the servant was very winking, and introduced himself considerately: "The maid's surname is Cao Mingde, and she has served His Majesty since she was a child. You can call me Xiao Cao."

Zhao Xiwei naturally didn't dare to call him Xiao Cao, so he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Hello, Eunuch Cao."

"Miss Zhao, this is the order that the crown prince personally asked His Majesty, and His Majesty agreed without saying a word. No, he also asked the servants to come over and pass on the message, and don't scare the girl's house. Oh, it really is like a gold and jade." people."

Only then did Xu Yunjiao recover from the shock.

It turned out that the prince personally sent this girl back yesterday, and he had already planned it!

Zhao Chengyu was locked up in the firewood room all night, and his arrogance completely subsided. Hearing Eunuch Cao's words now, the little hope left in his heart turned into despair.

What else can she do?
There is no other choice but to allow Zhao Xi to pinch the circle slightly and rub it flat.

Fear, jealousy, pain, and other emotions enveloped her deeply.

Relatively speaking, Zhao Chengyan was much calmer.

She was smarter than Zhao Chengyu, and realized early on that she was no match for Zhao Xiwei.

Since you can't compare, you can't compete, why bother to make yourself suffer?
Besides, thinking about it again, a rising tide lifts all boats, and Zhao Xiwei has become a concubine of the crown prince. How could her marriage as a concubine be so bad?

Mrs. Zhao's body is only a little better, and now she is supported by two women, and finally there is a trace of joy on her face.

The Zhao family was in dire straits, and now that sister Wei has entered the East Palace, the whole family has a little more to rely on.

This girl is really the lucky star of the Zhao family!
The more the old lady thought about it, most of the suffocation in her heart dissipated immediately, and she looked at Zhao Xiwei with eager eyes.

Hey, it's just a pity that she is a concubine. If I knew it, I would have recognized it under Xu Yunjiao's name.

Xu Yunjiao, Xu Yunjiao, you know how to be sour and jealous all day long, let's see, you don't have such a blessing!
Only the third lady was really thinking about Zhao Xiwei. She looked at Zhao Xiwei with joy and worry.

The good news is that this child no longer has to suffer so much injustice in the Zhao residence.

The worry is, in a place like the Eastern Palace, can she go smoothly at such a young age?

Zhao Xiwei suddenly became the focus of everyone.

There was flattery, envy, and joy. Those who had been against her, at this moment, all consciously hid their unwillingness in their hearts.

Facing these gazes, Zhao Xiwei was in a complicated mood.

No wonder men all want to pursue fame and wealth, because the vanity of power is so charming.

It was just overnight, it was just an imperial decree to bestow marriage, and those eyes that secretly hated her were all wiped out.

After sending off Eunuch Cao, the old lady took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to the ancestral hall with wet eyes.

She personally lit three sticks of incense, and bowed deeply to her ancestors.

Zhao Xiwei also kowtowed three times respectfully.

Inside, there is her mother's tablet.

Her eyes lightly fell on the three characters of Shen's Yuqing, and her mother's dying confession suddenly sounded in her heart.

"Wei'er, you must live well and live happily."

For this sentence, she came to Zhao Mansion and Chang'an.

She kowtowed again, silently called mother in her heart, and solemnly made a promise.

"Mom, I will definitely live well."
