The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 20
"Just arrived." Chu Xunyang said, "Father was urgently summoned to the palace by the emperor's grandfather. I was afraid that the side concubine would miss it, so I came here to talk to you."

As for Chu Yi'an's entry into the palace, if he really wanted to say hello, he could just point out a servant to come over.

This girl was obviously just a temporary excuse.

But in this East Palace, the prince is the biggest. Since Chu Xunyang moved him out as a shield, Concubine Lei did not dare to refute.

"Just now I was thinking about sending someone to look ahead, but I was delayed after talking to Yao'er and the others." Concubine Lei's expression froze, then she laughed.

Chu Xunyang hooked the corners of his lips, did not answer her words, casually looked around at the furnishings in the room, and suddenly changed the subject, "Just now I heard the excitement in the side concubine's room in the yard, like How do you look happy?"

"I'm talking about your second sister's marriage." Sooner or later, the matter will be shaken up, and Concubine Lei didn't hide it, and said bluntly, "His Royal Highness has always been busy with work, and he didn't care about the backyard. Xin'er died two months ago." Now that it's time to get married, it's time to finalize the marriage."

"Oh? Really? But I don't know which one you're talking about?" Chu Xunyang said.

She herself hadn't even left the court, and Concubine Lei didn't expect her to ask deeply, but she didn't take it seriously, saying: "Xin'er has a soft temper, and I was afraid that she would be angry if I went to another house. After thinking about it, I still feel that marrying her into It’s better in Pingguo’s mansion, and with your elder sister taking care of it, it won’t be a disadvantage.”

Chu Xunyang's face remained unchanged, and he said casually: "I remember that the Duke of Pingguo seems to have only the eldest son and the first son. Is it possible that the second sister will marry a concubine?"

Concubine Lei's concentration is good, but Chu Yueyao couldn't stand her endless inquiries, so she raised her chin proudly and said, "You don't have to guess, it's because I can't stand Second Sister's temperament. The other family has been run over, and they want to take her into the husband's concubine."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Xunyang's face turned cold instantly.

Her gaze swept across the faces of the crowd, with an unbearably sharp edge, and finally fixed on Concubine Lei's face and said: "Is this the meaning of Concubine Concubine?"

"I was talking about it just now. You know Xin'er's temperament, but I wanted to agree." Concubine Lei said with a smile, but she was sloppy.

The second wife was completely won over by Concubine Lei's promise of the position of equal wife, fearing that Chu Xunyang would disturb the situation, she hurriedly said: "Just now the princess mentioned it, and I also think it is good, so I agreed."

Chu Xunyang was noncommittal, and looked at the timid Chu Yuexin again, and said in a light and coercive tone: "Second sister also agreed?"

"I—" Chu Yuexin's eyes were anxious, she opened her mouth to refute, but was restrained by the sharp eyes of the second lady.

Chu Yueyao has been tricky and domineering since she was a child. She was unwilling to be a concubine in the Pingguo Mansion. In fact, it was not just because of Chu Yueyao's relationship. Although Chu Yuexin was soft-tempered, she also had her own pride. Although she was a concubine, she was also Chu Yi'an's. For a dignified daughter of the princess, even if she is married to a slightly inferior family, why would she want to be a concubine?

Chu Yuexin felt wronged, but she didn't dare to say a word with Concubine Lei and others in attendance.

"This child is thin-skinned." The second lady smoothed things over with a smile, pulled Chu Yuexin down, and said in a low voice, "Didn't we just agree?"

Chu Yuexin's tears swirled in her eyes, and finally she uttered a word in a weak voice: "Yes!"

"The side concubine manages the back house properly, and you all agreed? Is this considered as a united heart?" The side concubine Lei was originally worried about bad things, but Chu Xunyang suddenly laughed teasingly.

Everyone was baffled, and then suddenly found that her eyes were extremely cold at that moment, and said every word, "But--I, I don't agree!"

The word "I" was deliberately bitten, and the hearts of the second lady and the others trembled when they heard it.

"Princess!" The second lady became anxious, and took a step forward holding the veil, "Marriage is always the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. The side concubine and the princess are flattering, this is—"

"Who is the father? Who is the mother?" Before she finished speaking, Chu Xunyang had already planned in a cold voice, "Even if there is no real princess in the backyard, the father is the head of the family in the East Palace. Is there a father nodding? Besides father, who dares to claim to be the father and mother of the second sister in this East Palace? If there is one, please stand up, I have never seen such a person before!"

Even if Concubine Lei is in charge of Zhongshui, she is only a concubine in terms of status.

It wasn't until now that everyone realized that Chu Xunyang had always called Concubine Lei the "Concubine Side", not "Concubine Lei" or "Concubine Side".

Chu Xunyang's words were sharp and powerful.

The second lady was sweating profusely on her back, stirring the handkerchief in her hand in panic.

But Chu Xunyang didn't intend to let her go, he stared at her sharply, and said aggressively, "Lian Shi, who gave you the courage to go directly past your father, so hastily settled on the second sister?" marriage?"

The second lady was shocked by her momentum, and she knelt down as soon as her legs softened.

The second lady was stopped by Chu Xunyang, she turned her head to look at Concubine Lei in cold sweat, and asked for help, "Sister—"

Concubine Lei's face was also obviously a little ugly, but she didn't show it on her face, she just drank tea with her drooping eyes, and said, "Yuexin herself agreed—"

"Second sister agreed by herself? Is the side concubine not afraid of being laughed at by others when she says this?" Chu Xunyang said, his eyes rolled, with a gleam of brilliance, he was nothing like what a cardamom girl should have, but what he said But the sentence is sharp, without leaving half a leeway, "Father handed over the backyard to the side concubine to take care of you, not just to control the money and manage the general affairs, the etiquette and rules of our children are the most important thing Did Second Sister herself agree? As the Second Madam said just now, is it up to Second Sister to agree to the important matter of marriage?"

Knocking down such a big hat means that Concubine Lei deliberately played bad things and refused to teach the daughter of a concubine in the mansion well.

Concubine Lei's face turned cold, and she suddenly realized that Chu Xunyang led her to dig a hole for herself carelessly, and even if she wanted to jump out, she couldn't find a ladder.

Chu Yueyao relied on her status as the great princess, and had always been defiant. Seeing that Chu Xunyang was openly confronting Concubine Lei and making her mother and concubine feel embarrassed, she refused to give up.

She suddenly jumped up, pointed at Chu Xunyang and reprimanded: "You are presumptuous, mother and concubine is an elder, even if there is something inappropriate, it is not your turn to criticize. Chu Xunyang, don't fight!" If your father spoils you, you don't care about priorities, and if you disrespect my mother and concubine, don't blame me for being rude to you."
