The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 396 Concubine (2)
Fortunately, what Zhao Jing said was immediate, but... the most embarrassing thing at this time is the newcomer who just passed the door.

"Although the lord loves Mrs. Hou's righteous sister, don't make the newcomer cold!" Gong said with an embarrassed smile.Zhao Jing just lowered her head, not looking at Zhou Yi's expression, and gently wiped the tea stains on her body with a handkerchief expressionlessly.

Only then did Zhou Yi come to his senses, straightened up, turned around and said to everyone, "This king has always loved Mrs. Marquis Wu'an as his own sister, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted her as a righteous sister."

If it was said that everyone sympathized with the newcomer Chunxiu just now, after the regent's words, everyone's eyes coincidently turned to Eldest Princess Xiaoyi.

She is the only one in this world who can be counted as the regent's younger sister, but the relationship between her and the regent is far inferior to that Mrs. Wu'anhou.

Princess Xiaoyi obviously sensed everyone's gaze, but she picked up the teacup unhurriedly, took a sip, and said calmly: "I also love this girl, Mrs. Hou, let alone the prince. "

After Chunxiu offered tea to the princess tablet, she was sent to the yard where her aunt lived.The banquet arranged outside also started, and Zhao Jing, under the persuasion of Aunt Zhu, forgot what happened just now.

But after all, many female relatives came to such an occasion, if this matter gets out, it will be unpleasant after all.

"My lord was too blatant just now. You are now the Marquis of Wu'an. He has no problem recognizing you as his righteous sister, and this..." It would be a bit offensive to describe Zhou Yi with these four words. Aunt Zhu then Suppressing the quarrel, she asked Zhao Jing again: "What were you thinking just now, why did you look restless?"

Zhao Jing, on the other hand, was hard to say. Although she had confessed to Aunt Zhu that she was not Zhao Yong's biological sister, she hadn't told Aunt Zhu the truth about her life experience. Some words were hard to say.

"I just suddenly remembered that when the princess was about to leave, I had also visited her, and I felt a little emotional when I thought about it." Zhao Jing sighed, and finally lowered her head. Now that all the dust has settled, she married herself , Wei Mingzhen also returned to the uncle's mansion, and Mrs. Zhulei was able to spend her days in Jingci Temple.Although things in the world are difficult to have both, it is a good result to be able to do so.

After lunch, the guests all got up and said goodbye.Zhao Jing and Aunt Zhu bid farewell to Mrs. Gong and went home too.

Mrs. Gong is a smart person, just from the way Zhou Yi looked at Zhao Jing, she knew Zhou Yi's thoughts on her.But no matter how thoughtful she is, Zhao Jing is already the Marquis of Wu'an, and the emperor personally bestowed the marriage on her, so she won't have anything to do with Zhou Yi anymore.

"The reception is not good today, so I will invite Mrs. Hou to come over to talk about it another day." Gong Shi smiled and sent them out. This room was about to go outside the Chuihua Gate, but heard a little maid come in and say: "Return to the side concubine. , our aunt wants Mrs. Xu to sit in Liuhuayuan."

The Liuhuayuan is the courtyard that Gong arranged for Chunxiu, and Zhao Jing has also heard about it, although it seems a little inappropriate for the couple to think about meeting guests on the first day, but it is not yet time for the bridal chamber, she wants to see Zhao Jing, so she asks It's all for her to see, the two of them are sisters in the palace, so it's common sense that they have something to say.

Mrs. Gong nodded her head in agreement, and raised her head to look at Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing didn't want to go, but when she remembered what the concubine said when she was about to leave, she always thought of a way to tell the regent.According to the concubine, those people must have come for Zhou Yi. First, when Xu Si'an went to Jiangnan, Zhao Jing couldn't let go, but later came back safe and sound.Although it can be explained by Xu Si'an being brave and good at fighting, it might not be because those people didn't come after him, so they didn't leave the net to him?
The more Zhao Jing thought about it, the more frightened she became. This time, those remnants kidnapped the people of a city just to force Zhou Yi to go to the south of the Yangtze River. There must be something tricky about it!

"In that case, then I'll come whenever I go. Sister Zhu doesn't have to wait for me to go with me." Zhao Jing said goodbye to Aunt Zhu, greeted Mrs. Gong, and followed the little maid to Chunxiu's Durian Garden.

The durian flowers all over the courtyard had already withered, leaving only the lush branches and leaves, the little maid led Zhao Jing in, and saw that Chunxiu had changed out of her wedding clothes, wearing casual light-colored trousers, sitting sideways under the bed. in the armchair.When she saw Zhao Jing coming in, she only had a cold smile on her face, she was completely different from the warmth she had when she met her in the palace.

Zhao Jing slightly felt a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Today is your big day, why did you take off your wedding clothes, and you have to perform a bridal ceremony at night!"

Chunxiu sneered, and said lightly: "It's just a concubine, and I don't care about etiquette. I can't compare you to Mrs. Hou, who is married by a bright matchmaker."

Zhao Jing's heart turned cold, after all, she felt a little strange, and recalled the scene in the hall just now, presumably Chunxiu saw it, and somewhat misunderstood the relationship between her and Zhou Yi.

"You are the concubine of the Prince Regent. How many people in the capital want to enter this gate but cannot, so why do you say that?"
