Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 74
"I don't dare, thank you, my lady!" Tianxiang still didn't dare to slack off, thanked her quickly, and stood up.Then, just like the last time he met Luo Zhaoyi, he prepared the gift he had carefully prepared.Then hearing Rufei's admiration, Tianxiang still had a face full of fear, lowering her eyes as if listening to the teaching with an open mind.

"Qi Xiao...uh, it's inevitable that this looks a little strange. If that's the case, can I call you Tianxiang?" Concubine Ru spoke slowly, with a gentle and benevolent smile on her face.In particular, she didn't call herself Bengong, but used the word "I" in a homely tone.And there is no flattery or calculation on the surface.

Tianxiang was shocked from the bottom of her heart, and more importantly, she had a good impression of this concubine Ru.Looking up, Tianxiang nodded and said: "Your Majesty, please do as you please, my servant thank you for your love!"

Concubine Ru saw that Tianxiang's behavior was neither humble nor overbearing, and it was not because her behavior was casual, but she was always respectful and polite, which was really a rare ladylike posture.Nodding secretly from the bottom of her heart, Rufei's smile became thicker and gentler immediately, and she ordered the maid beside her, "Hurry up and serve the snacks and tea!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The palace maid replied, and she backed away slowly.After a while, he and another court lady carried a tray, filled the table with all kinds of snacks, and poured out the tea.Concubine Ru waved her hand in satisfaction, and the palace lady left.Then he looked at Tianxiang with a homely expression on his face: "Tianxiang, can you tell me how you and our child Xuan'er met?"

Xuaner?Tian Xiang immediately realized, isn't she the Xuan Wang Xia Yixuan?Listening to Rufei's intimate call, it seems that although the mother and son have no real mother and child, they have the affection of a biological mother and child.The so-called kindness of nurturing is greater than the kindness of birth, so that's it.That's why Concubine Ru wants to announce herself into the palace, to meet the woman who has been rumored with her son, right?

"Returning to your mother, the minister only met His Royal Highness Xuan Wang twice before, so it was not an acquaintance. Then a few days ago, His Royal Highness Xuan suddenly came to the Duke's Mansion, and the minister just happened to have dinner with Daddy to discuss the affairs of the mansion. I had the honor to entertain His Highness with my father. During the dinner, His Highness curiously asked about the meal, and this is how I got acquainted with His Highness." Tian Xiang didn't hide anything, but just skipped some points.

These words can be said to be watertight, not only explaining that he and Xia Yixuan did not know each other before, but also expressing that because his father was present, he was lucky to entertain King Xuan with him, avoiding suspicion.But these words were enough to add another level to Rufei's appreciation for Tianxiang.

However, Concubine Ru still didn't want to end here, and continued to ask: "According to Tianxiang, you and Xuan'er are not familiar?"

Qi Tianxiang nodded immediately, and said respectfully: "Returning to the empress, counting the past few days, it is the first time that a subject has been so close to His Highness, and it is also the first time to speak, so how can I get familiar with it?"

"En!" Concubine Ru nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "Then, what does Tianxiang think of my Xuan'er? Oh, what I mean is, what does Tianxiang think of our Xuan'er?"

Tianxiang's heart fluctuated just now, this question, why does it feel like Concubine Ru really has a crush on her?Surprised, Tianxiang guessed with embarrassment, Rufei would not really plan to give herself to her son, would she?Oh my god, Tianxiang is not willing to marry that naughty dude who is doing nothing all day long!

After taking a few deep breaths, Tianxiang calmed down her excitement, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not making any false statements. Your Highness is not familiar with me, so I dare not speak for the prince. It's just that The courtier also heard that others praised the prince for being chic and suave, not sticking to trifles, and treating others with generosity. The courtier thinks that His Highness should be a gentle and generous man."

Concubine Rufei's eyes flashed, she could see it, Tianxiang kept avoiding this question.To be precise, he has always avoided talking about Xia Yixuan, so he naturally knows it in his heart.So he immediately avoided this question, and instead talked with Tianxiang about his experience in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the two really had a good chat after a while.

Tianxiang already has the reputation of the most talented woman in Kyoto, and she has read many orphan copies left by her mother, all of which are unpublished songs, poems and songs.Therefore, after some conversations, Concubine Ru loved and praised her even more.

Before she knew it, it was lunch time, and Rufei naturally held on to Tianxiang, wanting to keep her for dinner.Tianxiang felt a thud in her heart, and her heart was filled with lingering fear.It was really because of Luo Zhaoyi's meal stay that time, Tianxiang was afraid that there would be sequelae.Just when she was about to evade, Rufei's daughter, Princess Xuanran, came back from school and threw herself into Rufei's arms, acting like a spoiled child.

"Mother and concubine, I'm so hungry, you don't even wait for my meal!" Princess Xuanran was still young, she looked only ten years old.Today, Princess Xuanran passed on a bright red dress, which at first glance looks like a girl of heaven.But judging by the model, she is really similar to Rufei, but her temperament is much more lively, a little more playful and pleasant.

Tianxiang got up immediately, and blessed Princess Xuanran, saying: "Ms. Tianxiang, please see the princess for a thousand years! May the princess be a thousand years old!"

It was only then that Xuanran noticed that there was someone else in the room, and immediately straightened her body, coughed, and waved her hands in a dignified manner, "Let's get flat—"

"Ms. Xie Princess!" Tianxiang stood up, blessed her body again, and then stood aside without moving rashly.

"Okay, let's sit down and eat together, Tianxiang!" Concubine Ru suddenly let go of Princess Xuanran with a clever smile, and at the same time warmly greeted Tianxiang and said, "If you don't eat anymore, the dishes will be cold." Princess Xuanran picks up vegetables.

Tianxiang breathed a sigh of relief, since Princess Xuanran had dinner together, she can rest assured.After all, if this concubine had ulterior motives, she would not be cruel and foolish to date her only biological daughter.But at the same time, Tianxiang feels a little guilty. It seems that Rufei really has no bad intentions, but she treats the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"My daughter is terrified, thank you, ma'am!" Tian Xiang once again respectfully saluted her body, after all, it is not surprising that there are too many gifts.After finishing speaking, he waited for the two of them to sit down first, and then slowly sat down.

Just as the three of them picked up their chopsticks and were about to start their meal, there was a burst of male laughter outside the door.Tianxiang was taken aback for a moment, and saw Xuan Wang Xia Yixuan stepping into the threshold first, followed by several people.

"I wish my concubine mother well, my concubine is well!"

"Yifei pays respects to Concubine Rumu, everything is safe to Concubine Rumu!"

"Tianqi sees Empress Rufei, and wishes her all well!"

These three people have always been inseparable.However, these three people are indeed handsome young masters that are rare to see, because they appeared together, which immediately made Ganli Palace lively and noisy.The maids all blushed and secretly looked at the three of them.The atmosphere suddenly became hot, and Tianxiang herself felt a little unnatural.

The one who depressed Qi Tianxiang the most was that Luo Tianqi, who winked at her from the moment he entered the door.Especially as soon as Tianxiang saw him, she remembered that she made a fool of herself that day, and her teeth itch with hatred in her heart.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Qi? Why are you free today, come and sit idle in my concubine's palace?" Xia Yixuan invited An, as if he just saw Qi Tianxiang, immediately said with a naughty expression.

The concubine Ru concubine glared at Xia Yixuan angrily when she heard the words, and scolded softly: "Look at you child! This child Tianxiang was invited into the palace by the concubine mother. You can't wait to come here. Do you think that the concubine mother is going to harm Tianxiang? Alas, the son is really not as good as the mother!" Concubine Ru pretended to rub her eyes.

Xia Yixuan's face was ashamed, and he immediately jumped up as if he had stepped on an ant, and hurriedly argued: "Mother, concubine, why do you say that? My son naturally knows that you have always been the most kind, even a little ant I can't bear to step on it to death. How can I embarrass a little girl like Tianxiang? I came to greet you today because I miss you? Besides, I brought my third brother and Tianqi together..."

Speaking of the latter, Xia Yixuan actually acted like a child, pulling on Rufei's sleeve and acting coquettishly.It was also thanks to Concubine Ru being familiar with him that she was able to be so calm.The most important thing is that Rufei didn't intend to embarrass Tianxiang, and she wasn't annoyed by Xia Yixuan's coming, so she immediately pursed her lips and laughed.

"You naughty monkey, Concubine Sumu didn't know you could act like a baby!" Concubine Ru scolded with a smile.

Princess Xuanran had already stood up, and saluted King Xuan and King Yan respectfully: "Xuanran greets the two elder brothers! My brothers are blessed and safe!" After finishing speaking, she got up automatically.After seeing Luo Tianqi at a glance, he smiled even more happily: "Brother Tianqi, did you enter the palace to play with Xuanran?"

Concubine Ru laughed immediately when she heard the words: "You silly boy, Mr. Luo has to manage so many shops, how can you come to play around with you day and night? It's just you, a little rascal, who is obsessed with playing. Let's fall!" After speaking, Rufei seemed to be still feeling puzzled, and stretched out her hand to flick Xuanran's forehead.

Xuanran groaned, and immediately dodged away.At the same time, he flattened his mouth and said with a grievance on his face: "Mother, concubine, my son is too lonely! In this palace, there are only maids and eunuchs, not to mention they are usually busy with their own jobs, and no one comes to accompany me to do it." Playing. Only Brother Tianqi remembers to bring me fun things every time he enters the palace! He will also teach me all kinds of fun things, much better than those palace maids!"

Luo Tianqi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, the princess Xuanran who had feelings for her, compared him with those palace maids?But he wasn't angry at all, Princess Xuanran was a child after all. "His Royal Highness, the princess, is so flattered that the grass people are really flattered. The gadgets brought by the grass people are just folk gadgets. Because the princess has been in the deep palace, she has never gone out to see it, so she feels novelty for a while."

"Besides, the good things in the palace are precious and cherished. Any thing left in the folks will cause a sensation. The princess doesn't have to be so entangled. One day the princess can go out of the palace to play, and she will definitely not find it novel." What Luo Tianqi said was comprehensive, and everyone pursed their lips and smiled.

Xuanran shook her head when she heard this and said, "It doesn't matter, anyway, Xuanran loves the novelties brought by brother Tianqi. Brother Tianqi, did you bring anything interesting for Xuanran when you came today?" Xuanran tilted her head, Looking at Luo Tianqi expectantly.The joy in her eyes was not artificial at all, but she seemed to be playful and cute in an instant.

"Hehe, of course I won't forget to bring novelty items to Princess Xuanran." Luo Tianqi smiled thoughtfully, and took out an exquisite and small abacus made of pure gold from his bosom! "Here, princess, look, it's this thing. Now there is such a small thing in the capital, it can be said to be used for counting. I like it very much. If the princess doesn't dislike it, I will give it to you!"

"Hey, it looks quite strange!" When Xuanran saw the golden abacus, her brows and eyes were filled with joy.At the same time, he stretched out his hand and took the abacus over, lovingly holding it in his hand, and examined it carefully.

Concubine Ru shook her head helplessly, especially when she saw her daughter not letting go of the abacus, she seemed to really love her.He started to play with it freshly, and immediately smiled and said: "I really feel sorry for this palace, every time I have to make Mr. Luo spend money! Especially this thing made of pure gold, I think it must be more—"
