"I have seen the princess..."

The wives onlookers immediately went forward to salute.

Concubine Jiangxia has always been low-key, and she didn't see many guests for more than half a year after returning to Beijing, but her status is truly noble-her father-in-law, Old Jiangxia King, is the emperor's uncle of the present emperor, and also the important minister of the late emperor. Ascending to the throne, every move is under the guidance of the emperor's uncle.

How powerful is old Jiangxia King?
It can be said that if the old Jiangxia King hadn't chosen to fade out of the court, the Queen Mother and her followers would have no chance of rising at all.

Her husband, King Jiang Xia, is the emperor's only clan brother. Perhaps in order to make up for the sacrifices made by the emperor's uncle, the emperor is very generous to this cousin, giving him as much gold, silver, jewels, splendor and wealth as he wants.

In addition, the prestige of the old King Jiangxia has never diminished. Even if King Jiangxia is not in Beijing, he can still affect many things in the court, even some military affairs. His attitude is very important.

For example, when the prince sent troops to Xiliang this time, it was because of the support of King Jiangxia that the queen mother could only choose to let it go.

In short, among all the princes and ministers, those who are richer than him are not as powerful as him, those who are more powerful are not as powerful as him, and those who are richer, more powerful and powerful than him are not as safe as him.

And the one who is safer than him can only be a waste who only knows how to eat, drink and play.

The most terrible thing is that such a prince loves the concubine very much, and the concubine has the final say on all major and minor matters in the mansion.

Concubine Jiang Xia had never given birth back then, and sought medical treatment everywhere but to no avail. The queen mother was so anxious that she came forward to persuade the prince to take a concubine: Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about the old prince. Can he have no successor?
But the prince replied with a smile: The old prince is dedicated to the country and has nothing else to ask for.As long as the world is peaceful and there are no descendants, what is it?

The emperor laughed loudly after hearing this, and repeatedly praised King Jiangxia as a "model of a pure minister".

All the ministers also admired him deeply.

How else can I escape from the peak of power?
A prince who doesn't even care about whether he has descendants, how much greed can he have!
It is said that husbands are honorable and wives are noble, and the prestige of the prince is so high, so as the only woman by his side, Princess Jiangxia's status cannot be lowered.

Even Xu Yunjiao, who thinks highly of herself, still needs to say hello in a polite manner: ""The princess likes her, that's because she is lucky. "

"Madam's words are wrong."

The concubine walked up to Zhao Xiwei, and smiled amiably: "I have a destiny with this child. The first time I saw her, I thought she was very good. Although there are golden flowers in your mansion, I just want to love her—" —”

She took the initiative to shake Zhao Xiwei's hand: "You child, you don't go to the palace to walk around, thanks to the fact that I specially prepared a meeting ceremony for you!"

She didn't mention the meeting ceremony, Zhao Xiwei almost forgot about it.

As soon as she mentioned it, Zhao Xiwei remembered what happened when he just entered Beijing——

It is said that the emperor had intentionally pointed her to the eldest son of the Jiangxia palace, that is, Li Fengyi.

It is said that it was Prince Li Xuanye who made this suggestion at the time.

Later, for some reason, this matter ended without a problem, but she was forced by the situation to marry into the East Palace by mistake.

It's just that fate tricked people, and after going round and round, everything seemed to return to the original point...

Zhao Xiwei had mixed feelings in his heart, let the concubine touch his hand, not knowing what to say.

The princess smiled slightly, and patted the back of her hand lightly, with a loving face on her face: "Come on, my good boy, I have something to give you."

Before Zhao Xiwei could react, the princess had turned over her palm, and then, as if by magic, she put a heavy object in her hand.

Red and warm, dazzling.

It's a bunch of pomegranate bracelets!
This thing is too familiar!

Zhao Xiwei's heart trembled, and he subconsciously withdrew his hand: "Princess, you..."

"Hey, this is not a good thing, it's just for good luck! Take it!"

The princess couldn't help but put the bracelet on Zhao Xiwei's wrist.

"Princess?" Zhao Xiwei was completely dumbfounded.

Where did this come from?
Before he could speak, his body was pulled by the princess.

Everyone around was shocked, and the servants were all silent.

Princess Jiangxia pulled Zhao Xiwei to stand beside her, as if she wanted to support her, and said something that shocked the entire imperial city——

"This kid is great and our whole family loves it."

Our whole family loves it... our whole family, loves it! ?

Even Zhao Ziyi, who had seen the big scene, was stunned. He raised the curtain of the car with a look of disbelief.

Princess Jiangxia gave Zhao Ziyi a slight nod, then looked at Xu Yunjiao, and said with a smile: "Your family is lucky to have such a child, don't you think?"

"Wangfei... Wangfei is right." Xu Yunjiao's vigor was immediately wiped out.

The concubine didn't finish this, she took Zhao Xiwei's hand again, and said affectionately: "Girl Wei, it's my birthday on the [-]th of this month, I have prepared a few cups of rough tea for you, I wonder if you are free?"

"..."

Zhao Xiwei was completely dazed by her.

Princess Jiangxia's words and deeds are still as slick as ever - neither will let you see through her intentions, nor let you guess her plans.

What does it mean to suddenly give her an old pomegranate bracelet in public?
What's the point of inviting her to his birthday party?
"Princess, I—" She opened her mouth, but before she could say a word, the palace door suddenly opened wide with a "squeak".

"Da da da", the guards with silver armor and long spears kept a neat formation and trotted out from inside.

"Click!" The spear hit the ground, and the footsteps stopped.

In the quiet air current, a carriage drove out smoothly, and the tasseled jade on the body swayed gently, making delicate and clear sounds, jingling, showing the extraordinary identity of the owner.

"I have seen His Royal Highness—"

The officials reacted and bowed their hands immediately.

No one in the car responded.

But the courtiers did not expect any response from him. After all, the prince has never been a gentle and kind master, and now it is an informal occasion, even if they ignore them, it is normal.

Amidst the silence of the sparrows, only the wheels rolled by, rolling on the bluestone floor tiles, swaying leisurely.

When passing in front of Zhao Xiwei, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Zhao Xiwei's heart also tightened, and he was suddenly a little annoyed.

I just said harsh words to him, but I didn't expect to meet him again on the long street so soon.

I knew she should have gotten in the car earlier, and it's too late to avoid it now... How about she hide in the crowd now?
Just as he was hesitating, the person in the car had already lifted the curtain and looked at her indifferently.

"Hiss—" there was a gasp.

Zhao Ziyi lost her composure, and suddenly called out: "His Royal Highness!"

But Li Xuanye turned a deaf ear to it, and the horses and chariots did not move, they just stopped in front of Zhao Xiwei, as if he made it clear that he wanted to make trouble with her.
