Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 23

Qi Tianxiang frowned slightly, and Qi Tianjiao, who was already dissatisfied, glared at Tianxiang even more angrily.Sure enough, Qi Tianqing kept her secrets hidden, and once she said something, Qi Tianjiao's hatred for Tianxiang became even worse.

No wonder Zhuo's health was not very good, but he was still favored by Qi Zhongqing for so many years.Sure enough, Zhuo's mother and daughter are very rich in the city, look at such a light sentence, openly praising Tianxiang, but secretly arousing jealousy and resentment in the hearts of the younger sisters.

Emperor Xiande showed admiration and was very satisfied with Qi Tianxiang.This little girl is so smart, she is a candidate for imperial concubine.At that time, no matter which of his sons is a good housekeeper, with her own wisdom and the inheritance of her ancestors, it must be the emperor's help!It's just that being a princess is somewhat lacking, but being a side concubine is more than enough.

All the concubines saw Emperor Xiande's admiration for Tianxiang, and began to care about it.

"Your Majesty, my concubine sees that Miss Qi is not only talented and beautiful, but also neither arrogant nor impatient. She has the calmness and demeanor of her grandfather back then. She is really Zhuge among women!" Concubine Ru couldn't help sighing softly.In fact, the concubine Ru was originally pure-hearted and ascetic, she lived in the most secluded place in the palace, and she wore a plain gauze dress, but she was more pure and noble than the white lotus.

When Emperor Xiande heard Rufei's words, he immediately let go of Luo Zhaoyi's arms, looked into Rufei's eyes and said softly, "Zhuang'er's words are reasonable, the granddaughter of the old Duke Qi is indeed very intelligent. It's a pity that she is only a daughter, if she is a man, she will definitely make great achievements for me in the future!"

Tianxiang disdains it from the bottom of her heart, the old emperor obviously prefers the concubine Ru who is pure-hearted and ascetic.It was so hard for Concubine Ru to say a word, Emperor Xiande must follow her meaning, and correspondingly exaggerated her evaluation of Tianxiang.

Tianxiang was depressed at the bottom of her heart, and at the same time worried that she would not be favored by the prince.After all, she has experienced betrayal in her previous life, and in this life she just wants to find a simple person, a couple for the rest of her life.She is not so magnanimous, she personally takes concubines for her husband, and even pretends to be virtuous with a smile on her face.

As soon as Concubine Ru said what she said, the other concubines didn't pay attention to Qi Tianxiang, but instead realized the crisis.Logically speaking, Concubine Ru has been living in seclusion for a long time, and she finally got to see Shengyan, so she naturally tried her best to attract Emperor Xiande's attention.But Rufei not only didn't do that, but just a few casual words of praise, which still made Emperor Xiande favor him even more.

This shows that Emperor Xiande is different from Concubine Ru!Immediately, Concubine Ru became the one the concubines were most jealous of, even more so than Luo Zhaoyi.Concubine Ru didn't take it seriously, she only had Princess Xuanran, and even King Xuan only adopted other concubines.Moreover, she entered the palace earlier, and she did not win over her natal family's power and court ministers, so she was not afraid of anything.

"Your Majesty, do you think this talent will continue to be displayed?" Luo Zhaoyi has always been used to being bold and lively.

Emperor Xiande looked at it for so long, and there were only a few that caught his attention. In addition, he was indeed a little tired, so he waved his hand and said, "It's getting late today, so let's call it a day. I'm tired too, so we all retreat Let’s go! I’ll continue watching when I have a chance in the future.”

As soon as this remark came out, the young lady who hadn't had her turn to go on stage immediately felt unwilling and showed dissatisfaction on her face.

When Qi Tianxiang and his party returned to Qi Guogong's mansion, it was already late, and all the lanterns were lit from the outside of the mansion to the mansion.The maids and mothers in each courtyard are quietly waiting for their masters to return home.

"Hey, the carriage in the mansion, look, the ladies are back!" A servant girl saw the carriage from a distance, and immediately shouted excitedly.

The surrounding maids and mothers immediately surrounded and found their respective young ladies.

Nanny Gui went up to meet her and asked, "Miss, how are you doing on the way?"

"En." Qi Tianxiang responded lightly, but did not answer.

Qi Tianbi had a naive face, excitedly describing how dazzling and bright the Tianxiang Palace banquet was, and turned back Qi Tian, ​​who had already gone away, in a daze, and said disdainfully: "What's there to show off? You're just walking shit Luck, do you need to make it known to everyone?"

When Qi Tianxiang was too lazy to talk to this stupid girl and wanted to leave, Qi Tianbi was so excited that she didn't seem to notice Qi Tianjiao's displeasure.He even took Qi Tianjiao's hand, pouted and complained dissatisfiedly: "Second sister, how can you be so ungrateful? Tonight, it's the eldest sister who will save you from the siege. You can't slander the eldest sister like this if you don't thank her!"

"Did I ask her for help at the time? She was the one who was shameless and wanted to show off. After being praised by others, she didn't know the essence. She really thought that she was going to fly on a branch and become a phoenix!" Qi Tianjiao hated the hall with all her heart. The humiliation in the world, and Qi Tianxiang became even more eye-catching after the siege, and she forgot her identity as a concubine for a while.

Qi Tianxiang wanted to reprimand her, but there was an angry voice from behind: "Presumptuous! Tianjiao, why did you talk to the elder sister? Is this the attitude you should have towards the first sister?"

Qi Tianjiao was startled, but immediately resorted to her usual coquettish means, threw herself into Qi Zhongqing's arms and cried and complained: "Wuuuu, Daddy, I'm so sad, they ganged up to bully me! Uuuuu... Daddy, you have to do it for me Make the decision!"

Qi Tianxiang was even more furious in her heart, this day Tianjiao was really shameless, with so many servants watching, she dared to turn the truth upside down, the villain would sue first!
Qi Tianbi frowned upon hearing this, and said dissatisfiedly: "Father, you just take care of the second sister, but you don't praise the eldest sister! You must know that at the palace banquet tonight, the eldest sister was praised by the emperor and rewarded a lot of things!" It seems Because Qi Tianjiao complained first and was upset, Qi Tianbi defended Tianxiang.

"Really?" Qi Zhongqing heard that the prostitute was rewarded by the Holy Majesty, and she immediately expressed joy: "Xiang'er, is what Tianbi said true? Did you really get the Holy Majesty's praise tonight?"

In the bottom of his heart, Qi Zhongqing calculated that if Xiang'er was really up to date, maybe Duke Qi's mansion would soon have good luck, and he would definitely have smooth official luck at that time!
Qi Tianxiang nodded slightly and said: "Returning to Dad, Tianxiang just got lucky today, just like what the second sister said."

Qi Zhongqing felt even more joyful when she heard the words. After all, she is a concubine daughter, she has a way to advance and retreat, and has a sense of proportion. Tianjiao, a concubine daughter, is indeed far behind.Thinking of this, Qi Zhongqing immediately said kindly: "As expected, she is the daughter of Duke Qi's mansion, she must be exhausted tonight, come here, help the eldest lady back to rest!"

Qi Tianjiao saw that she usually shed two tears, and that acting like a baby was useless, she immediately said anxiously: "Father, why are you so biased? Tonight, in front of so many princes and ladies in the capital, my eldest sister stole my limelight and let me Dilemma, you say my daughter, how can I have the face to go out in the future!"

Qi Tianxiang was furious, she didn't intend to argue with Qi Tianjiao, but she bullied others too much.When you can't bear it, you don't have to bear it anymore!
But just as Tianxiang opened his mouth, Qi Tianqing suddenly said unfairly: "Father, the second sister is too much! At the palace banquet tonight, the second sister uttered nonsense, let Prime Minister Wei seize the opportunity to humiliate, and hurt the face of Qi Guogong's family. The eldest sister is smart, and she went on stage to save her face." Not only did Second Sister not appreciate her face, but she also avenged her kindness by slandering Eldest Sister, which really makes people sad!"

Qi Zhongqing's expression darkened when she heard the words, and she immediately scolded loudly: "Tianjiao, is it really as Tianqing said? You are really too coquettish and irritable! Now, father, apologize to your sister-in-law immediately!"

"I don't..." Qi Tian was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath, his eyes darkened, and he fainted immediately.

Aunt Lian and Aunt Ji had already heard the maid's report, and now they rushed over one after another.When Aunt Lian saw Qi Tianjiao fainted on the ground, she immediately rushed over to help her, and cried, "My lord, you usually love Tianjiao the most, what mistake did she make now that made you repeat it so much?"

Qi Zhongqing's heart ached when he heard the words, he really loved Tianjiao all the time.It's just that when she thinks that Tianxiang has been praised by the Holy Spirit, Tianjiao is usually a little bit more delicate this day, but today she is so inconsiderate and heartless.Tianxiang is the first eldest sister, but she actually uttered wild words to insult Tianxiang in front of the whole family, how decent is it to spread it?
"How did you teach your daughter? You openly insulted my sister-in-law in front of the whole family! When she wakes up, ask her to copy the "Nv Jing" for me twenty times. If you don't repent, I will never let you down!" Qi Zhongqing For the sake of his own face and dignity, he endured the pain and punished him.

Aunt Lian felt a pain in her heart when she heard the words, and hated Qi Tianxiang even more.Just because Tianxiang was born by his first wife, the master must face her when encountering major disputes!When the wife was still alive, she made a mistake, and the master also favored the wife!Now that my wife has passed away for many years, the master is partial to his wife's daughter!Aunt Lian was jealous of the germination of the seed, and swore that she would make Qi Tianxiang die in the future!

Seeing Aunt Lian being reprimanded, Aunt Ji immediately felt happy in her heart.With a flash in her eyes, Aunt Ji coughed and said, "Master, these two girls insulted my sister-in-law, regardless of superiority or inferiority. As a aunt, the second aunt did not fulfill her duty of discipline. Do you think this should be punished together as a warning?" Xiaoyou?"

Qi Zhongqing immediately stared at Aunt Ji coldly: "You just like to add insult to injury, don't you?"

Aunt Ji immediately twitched her eyelids when she heard the words, unwilling to lower her eyes.

Qi Tianqing took a step forward and said: "Father, the Second Aunt has been in charge of the Zhongfu in the mansion for a long time. If you punish him unfairly, it will inevitably make the people in the house dissatisfied. In the future, the Second Aunt will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the servants!"

Qi Zhongqing was surprised when she heard the words, thinking in her heart, this girl Tianqing has always been quiet and aloof from the world.But today, in order to clarify justice for Tianxiang, he did not hesitate to offend Lianshi.It can be seen that this girl is a brave and righteous child.Thinking about it this way, Qi Zhongqing has even more love and pity for this daughter.

In fact, he knows the affairs of the mansion better than anyone else. In order to balance, he gave Lianshi the rights, but gave all the love to Zhuoshi.In this way, the power in the mansion will be balanced, and there will be no situation where one house dominates.It's just that he recently discovered that the original consciousness and the benevolent Lianshi are just appearances.

Even though Xiang'er didn't say anything, he sensed that this girl was having a bad time.Especially when Tianxiang was seriously ill last time, and with that dress, Qi Zhongqing felt that Aunt Lian was really confident.Coupled with the girl Tianqing's words, he felt that it was indeed necessary to punish Lian Shi.

"Aunt Lian didn't teach the second young lady well, so that she is delicate and obstinate, regardless of superiority or inferiority, and she will be fined for two or three months of monthly salary. This matter ends here, let's all go back and rest separately!"

Aunt Lian opened her mouth wide, with a look of disbelief, she watched Qi Zhongqing surrounded by the other three daughters and walked away.With a sway of her body, Aunt Lian herself fell to the ground.

When Qi Tianjiao woke up, it was already early the next morning.After putting on her clothes, Tianjiao ran to Zhaoyue Garden, intending to complain to Lianshi.Who knew that just stepped into the yard with one foot, and heard the sound of bumping and falling things inside, Qi Tianjiao looked puzzled, why is mother so angry?Could it be that she already knew about what happened last night?

"Mother..." Qi Tianjiao was still scared, and Lianshi was angry.After calling out in a low voice, Qi Tianjiao walked over with a little fear.

Sister Lan sighed and advised: "Madam, don't be angry, it's not worth it if you get angry!"

Aunt Lian didn't look dignified at this time, she was only wearing a middle coat, and cursed viciously: "That bitch of the Zhuo family! Don't worry about the little bitch you gave birth to! It's really a big dog, to let The master punishes me as the mistress of the house! That dead girl, little bitch, I want her life to be worse than death!"
