The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 395 Concubine (1)
In the night, the wind was quiet, and the green water on the lotus pond was wrinkled. A few palace lanterns hung under the eaves of the corridor in the distance, reflecting a piece of moonlight, and the water was sparkling.

Zhao Jing stopped in her tracks, stretched out her hand to straighten Xu Si'an's collar that was blown by the wind, and said lightly: "Master Hou, the eldest girl is now fifteen, and it's only been around for a year or so. Speaking of which, she is after all The granddaughter of the old Marquis..."

It was because of this that Xu Si'an kept her in the Marquis of Wu'an, but since she had already stayed, she couldn't really just ignore her like this.If she really had some intention of reforming her past, the Hou Mansion would not treat her badly, and this should be considered a filial piety from Xu Si'an.

"Since you say that, then send a few more servant girls to watch her, prevent her from having any contact with the Sun family, and let her still respect the old lady." Xu Si'an frowned slightly, lowering her eyebrows slightly. When she looked down, she saw the moonlight shining on the side of Zhao Jing's face, her drooping eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly about to fly.He stretched out his hand to caress Zhao Jing's cheek, and when the words came to his lips, he finally swallowed them down.

Xu Si'an had already asked the court to fight Jiangnan, but this time he was also invited to fight with Pingxi Marquis Shi Hongfeng. Although it was still unknown who the court would send over, no matter what, he finally made a choice.If the imperial court allows him to go to war, he will leave his newly married wife and unborn child and rush to the front line.

The second day was the regent Zhou Yi's concubine joy. As Chunxiu's friend outside the palace, Zhao Jing must have been invited to the banquet.Concubine Gong was in charge of the banquet. When Zhao Jing passed by, she saw that Mrs. Gong was busy arranging guests.

Although Zhou Yi has a high status and authority, he is relatively low-key in the capital, and the Dayong royal family is not very prosperous, so the guests who came here are only the eldest princess Xiaoyi, Zhao Jing and Chunxiu, apart from the family members of the side concubines. Aunt Zhu from Xingyue Tower.

Although Zhou Yi took a concubine, Gong was in a good mood, Chunxiu was nothing more than a court lady, and now she was able to enter the Prince Regent's Palace as a concubine because of the Empress Dowager's face.Although the position of princess is vacant, it will not fall to her after all.

The thing that worries Gong the most is that Zhou Yi can give birth to a man and a half woman as soon as possible, but it is a pity that no one in the Prince Regent's House is pregnant no matter whether the princess is alive or after her death.Fortunately, Mrs. Gong was not pregnant, nor was anyone else, so there was less threat.

There is no such thing as welcoming a concubine. The female relatives take their seats in the main hall, only waiting for the new couple's sedan chair to arrive, and then they are assisted by the bride's wife to come in through the side door. There is no such thing as worshiping heaven and earth, only offering tea to the main room. It's just that the princess has passed away now, so it was changed to offer tea to the tablet of the princess.

Zhao Jing and Aunt Zhu hadn't seen each other for some time, and they chatted in private for two days. When they raised their heads, they saw Chunxiu in a pink wedding dress, supported by Xi Niang, slowly walking down the steps. When he came up, he didn't even have a red hijab.

Aunt Zhu leaned into Zhao Jing's ear and whispered, "So what if you marry the Prince Regent, after all, you're just a concubine."

Zhao Jing sighed a little, and saw Zhou Yi also coming in from the door. He was wearing a four-clawed golden dragon python robe, and he didn't even change into a wedding dress.And a trace of sweat overflowed from his forehead, as if he had just come back from outside.

Mrs. Gong hurriedly went up to meet him, but she didn't dare to reach out to wipe the sweat off Zhou Yi's forehead. She just smiled and said, "Look at our lord, we are so busy every day, we don't forget to go to court on such a good day, but we almost The auspicious time has been delayed, but luckily the newcomer has just entered the door."

Zhou Yi kept silent with a cold face, Gong only asked the servant girl to hand over a handkerchief, and he took it from the plate, wiped it briefly, and sat on the first seat in the hall.On the side is the tablet of the princess.

Zhao Jing raised her head, looked at the gold-plated words written on the black lacquer tablet, and vaguely remembered what the princess looked like before she passed away.She hated Zhou Yi so much, yet couldn't let him go.

Zhao Jing was in a daze when she suddenly remembered that day the princess held her hand and said: "Don't... don't let him go to the south, there is a net of heaven and earth..." Zhao Jing broke out in a cold sweat suddenly, the teacup in her hand fell slightly, A piece of her dress was wet.

This considerable movement obviously alarmed everyone sitting, Zhou Yi raised his head, and saw Zhao Jing dripping a few drops of tea with her fingertips holding the teacup.The tea has been brewing for a long time, and it is not considered hot, but Zhou Yi still stood up, strode to Zhao Jing, took the teacup and put it aside, holding her cup. The wrist said: "How is it, is it hot?"

Zhao Jing froze for a moment, looked at Zhou Yi's hawk-like eyes, quickly retracted her hands, wiped her fingers with a handkerchief, shook her head and said, "No...not burnt, thank you, my lord, for caring about my sister... ..."

This sudden scene made the atmosphere in the whole hall a bit weird, and even Mrs. Gong, who has always been good at dancing, was a little confused for a while.Even if Zhou Yi likes Zhao Jing, she is now Mrs. Wu'anhou after all.
