Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 213 Doomed to be rough
Inside the study.

After reading the letter from the princess, Pei Yao's face became gloomy.

Raising his eyes to glance at Yan Li who was delivering the letter, he said in a lukewarm voice.

"The princess sent you here, but do you have other orders?"

"Returning to Your Highness, Madam said that this incident was all caused by Mr. Xu's Suxian Wang family. The girl from the Xu family is not bad in nature, but she was deceived by others, and she really has a sincere heart for His Highness. Although Mr. Xu is confused about family affairs, the Xu family is noble. After he was transferred back to the capital, he also held important positions."

Speaking of this, Yan Li paused, looked at Pei Yao's expression from the corner of his eye, and then continued.

"The empress knows that His Highness must be angry in his heart. The empress said that His Highness accepted Miss Xu into the palace, just as a way to support more idlers. The Xu family will definitely help His Highness as much as the Lu family in the future. As for the Wang family who provokes troubles and has an impure mind, the empress said, she will handle it well."

After listening to Yan Li's words, Pei Yao closed his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he threw the letter in his hand on the table.

"Go back and tell the Crown Princess that after Mrs. Xu enters the East Palace, she will only be given the rank of Shu, and will never be promoted."

"Yes."

Yan Li knelt down and kowtowed, then hurriedly backed out.

He could tell that Pei Yao was unhappy.

When he went out, Hong Zheng stood at the door, and when he saw him coming out, he asked the little maid behind him to hand over the tea he had prepared earlier.

Yan Li took it, raised his head and drank it, then raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Brother, what do you think they are making a fuss about? This palace is so good, if you sharpen your head, you will drill into it?"

"Okay, I know it's not a good job for you today, go back and report to your mother."

Hong Zheng patted him on the shoulder, and said with a half smile.

Yan Li cupped his hands at him and left quickly.

He hurried back, and had to do another thing for the princess.

Xu Xin'er's stepmother, Mrs. Wang, couldn't stay.

Speaking of which, this woman has become what she is now, and she is also a poor person.

She was originally the favored daughter-in-law of a small family, and she could have married a well-matched person, but the Xu family's mistress died, and she was looking for a replacement, but she found her.

Originally, the Wang family was unwilling, but his parents felt that the Xu family was a noble family, and Xu De also had a reputation for being upright, and had a very good relationship with the late wife. If the first wife hadn't passed away and wanted to remarry, they would not marry the Wang family. This is a great thing for the Wang family.

So Wang's parents persuaded her to marry her.

After the wedding, Wang discovered that the husband was indeed kind, but he was always polite and alienated to her, and always missed his dead wife.

Even though Mrs. Wang gave Xu De another pair of children, Xu De still liked Xu Xin'er more.

As time went by, Wang's psychology became unbalanced, and she distortedly hated both Xu De and Xu Xin'er, father and daughter.

So she spoiled Xu Xin'er's temperament, and pretended to be gentle and virtuous in front of Xu De to win trust.

This time, the Wang family set up a trap to ruin Xu Xiner's life, also called Xu Xiner, an idiot, so that Xu De could offend the Lu family and the prince, and the officialdom would not go well from then on.

If he hadn't lost his mind and went crazy, who would dare to care about his own life and make others feel uncomfortable, and this time even the crown prince Pei Yao was involved in the plot.

It can only be said that Wang has hated it for many years, and the hatred has been distorted, and he has already ignored it.

Before the concubine handed over the letter, the princess had already thoroughly investigated the matter. As long as Pei Yao's side nodded, Wang's side would be done.

But no matter what, with Wang's calculation, Xu Xiner's life is destined to be rough.

Speaking of which, she still managed to ruin Xu Xiner's life.

Of course, this is an outside story, so I won’t mention it much.

At that time in Zhuangzi, Pei Yao was also very irritable.

After Yan Li left, he got up and went to Fang Yun's yard.

When he came, Fang Yun was trimming a pot of green plants under the porch.

Hearing the movement, Fang Yun turned his head and seeing that it was Pei Yao coming, he handed the scissors in his hand to Yan Wei, took the handkerchief from Qing Rong, wiped his hands, and then went up to salute.

"Your Highness."

"Ah."

Pei Yao nodded and helped her up.

"what to do?"

"I have nothing to do, I'm just playing with a few pots of flowers and plants. My concubine's skills are not good, and the pruning is really ugly."

Fang Yun smiled slightly, and pointed to several potted plants placed under the corridor.

"You've never done this before, it's normal to be unfamiliar, let's go, make a cup of tea for Gu."

Pei Yao's tone was slightly low, and Fang Yun soon noticed that he was in a bad mood, so he winked at the two girls behind him.

The two of them knew each other, and after entering the house and getting the things they needed, they left silently.

There were only Pei Yao and Fang Yun left in the room. Now Fang Yun rolled up his sleeves and started making tea, so he asked softly.

"His Royal Highness seems to be in a bad mood, but is there anything bothering you at court?"

"It's not the court, it's the lonely back house."

Pei Yao's eyes showed a bit of irritability.

Although living in Zhuangzi these days, the news is slow, but Fang Yun still knows about the outside world.

So at this moment, he said, "Your Highness is for Miss Xu's business?"

"Anyone else but her." Pei Yao's tone was a little cold, obviously displeased.

Immediately afterwards, he told Fang Yun about all the things in today's letter from the princess.

After listening, Fang Yun also frowned.

"When the concubine met Mrs. Xu in the palace, she felt that this person had a deep thought. I didn't expect to arrange such a thing."

Xu Xiner's life was ruined.

Fang Yun didn't say the last half of the sentence.

After all, Xu Xin'er was going to be Pei Yao's concubine. It didn't sound good, it seemed like it was such a miserable thing to be a prince's concubine.

And Pei Yao lowered his eyes, and said indifferently, "Giving her the position of a gentleman is for the sake of the Crown Princess and Xu's family. Apart from that, there will be nothing else."

Even if Xu Xiner was instigated by others, Pei Yao would inevitably hate her for doing these things.

After Fang Yun heard this, he stopped talking about Xu Xin'er.

He said softly, "This is the end of the matter, Your Highness should not worry about it anymore. If it hurts your body and mind, it is not good. Your Highness drinks the tea made by my concubine, and I will go out with my highness later to relax my mind. Your highness once said that there is a mountain spring on this mountain, and a gazebo was built beside the spring, but I have not been able to visit it yet."

The soft voice of a woman can always soothe the irritability in people's hearts.

Taking the teacup handed by Fang Yun, Pei Yao took a sip and nodded in response.

At that time in the Xu family, Xu Xin'er was smiling happily after receiving Yan Li's reply, knowing that she was going to be the prince's lady.

"Congratulations girl, your wish has come true." The servant girl Kidou leaned forward and said.

She was the round-faced maid who really cared about Xu Xiner's injury that day.

Xu Xiner stroked her temples happily.

"Although my status is a bit low, I'm just a gentleman, but in the future I will be favored by His Highness. Naturally, when I get promoted, my cousin and aunt will still love me. Mother's plan really worked. I will have a baby in the future, and naturally I will not forget my cousin."

In Xu Xin'er's heart, the princess was injured and could no longer give birth.

Kidney Dou smiled, and echoed with an unnatural expression.

But at this time Xu Xiner didn't care about these details, she just asked, "Where is Qiao Cui, why don't you see her?"

"Oh, Ma'am, Ma'am is ill. Qiao Cui went to take care of her, which also represents your filial piety." Kidou replied.

She actually knew what was going on with Mrs. Wang, but she didn't tell Xu Xiner that this was an order from her superiors.

When Xu Xiner heard this, she just nodded her head and didn't ask any more questions. She continued to imagine her beautiful life in the East Palace in the future.

Looking at this appearance, Kidou sighed inwardly.

But there is no way, everyone has his own life.
