Prepare a banquet for Concubine Zheng?
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing asked Bai Shao to bring in the invitation.
Since there is a show to watch, she will go and see the fun!
After lunch, Si Jinxing took Luzhu to a garden full of plum trees and brought back a bunch of branches full of red plum blossoms.
She trimmed and filled a large vase with flowers.
Luzhu stepped forward, placed the vase on the table under the windowsill, and said:
"Think about last winter, we were freezing in the West Suburbs Villa.
Now, she has her own house. Our young lady has finally made it."
Zi Su was standing by, flipping through the account book and said:
"Not only did the young lady survive, but we are also enjoying a great life by her side!"
Yan Fei, who was teaching Zhao Dani calligraphy, echoed:
"Zi Su is right. Even for a little girl like Dani, meeting our young lady can be considered a life-changer!"
Zhao Dani raised her pen, smiled at Yan Fei, and said:
"Sister Fairy knows magic, so naturally anyone who gets close to her will enjoy happiness!"
Zhao Dani had been following Song Xiner and Gu Keying before. Because of the Chinese New Year, the two of them took a few days off and returned to Xuzhou Prefecture.
This big girl followed a few older maids and came to Si Jinxing's room to play every day.
The child was in the growth stage. After only two months with Si Jinxing, he had grown a lot taller and had some fatter face.
Lu Zhu picked up a piece of cake and put it into Zhao Dani's mouth. She pinched her chubby little face and said with a smile:
"You're the only one who talks sweetly!"
Just then, Qingchan came in and said:
"Princess, Madam Chan is here."
When Si Jinxing heard the name for the first time, she didn't react for a moment.
Still, Lu Zhu snorted coldly and said sarcastically:
"She is the one who truly insulted Sister Qingchan's name, the word 'cicada'."
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing remembered that Madam Chan was referring to her aunt's daughter, He Youchan.
When He Youchan and her daughter came to her yard, they threatened that Qingchan, a servant girl, was not worthy of being called "Chan".
He forced her to change Qingchan's name.
Unexpectedly, today, He Youchan came so quickly!
Si Jinxing nodded, and Qingchan turned around and said, "Bai Shao, let her in."
The door curtain was lifted, and a woman in a pink cloak came into the room.
Si Jinxing was still a little surprised when she saw the person coming!
I saw that He Youchan was now thin and haggard, and there was no trace of his former spirit.
Even the skin on her face became loose and not as smooth and tender as before.
It's only been a month since He Youchan entered Prince Jing's Mansion, and she's already like this?
He Youchan saw Si Jinxing looking her up and down, and a little resistance rose in her heart, and she said:
"You called me here just to see me having fun?"
After she said this, her eyes showed some resentment, and she continued:
"Yes, I am not doing well now!
But, isn't it all because of your big brother Si Jinhao that I'm having a hard time?!
And my second uncle!
He has made great military achievements and was personally appointed as a marquis by the emperor. Even the princes have to show him respect!
If he is willing to support me, who would dare to underestimate me?
How could my days in the palace be so sad?
And you, Si Jinxing, don’t think I don’t know!
Why has Ye Wan'er been making things difficult for me at home?
Isn't it because you stole the Prince Mo Ying, whom she loved so much?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing extended his hand and asked He Youchan to sit down, then said:
“I can’t control and shouldn’t interfere with the affairs of Si Jinhao and Si Junshan.
You should also know that I am me and they are them, so you don't need to mention them to me.
Regarding Ye Wan'er, I don't deny that when she targeted you, she might have some hatred towards me.
But Qi Moli never belonged to her, so how could I have stolen him from her?
But no matter what, she is targeting you, and there must be some reason for that.
So, I'm inviting you to come and talk to me?"
He Youchan was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help asking:
“Talk?
You're willing to help me? What's your plan?
How can you be so kind? "
She stared at Si Jinxing very cautiously, afraid of missing the calculation that flashed in her eyes.
Not to mention that she became someone else's concubine before her elder brother Si Jinxing's body was cold.
She only said that she and her mother had wanted to persuade Si Jinxing to marry her into Prince Mo Ying's palace, and even wanted to replace him.
How could Si Jinxing forgive her?
He Youchan just couldn't believe that Si Jinxing could be so kind!
Si Jinxing felt amused when she saw his defensive look.
In the eyes of others, am I as terrible as a flood or a beast?
She pursed her lips and smiled, saying:
"Don't be afraid, I'm not just helping you, I'm doing this for myself.
You may also know how Ye Wan'er got the position of Princess Jing.
But she told others that I was the one who plotted to murder her, and those people scolded me without any reason.
How could I bear it?"
He Youchan became interested when he heard this.
She leaned forward and asked:
"I only heard people in the palace occasionally mention it, but I don't know the specific situation.
Sister Xing, can you tell me in detail?"
Lu Zhu interrupted at the right time and said, "Cousin, you don't know.
The Empress Dowager personally ordered that this matter should not be spread outside.
My cousin, please don't ask for the details. Just know that what happened to Princess Jing was shameful.
All the mistresses and daughters of the noble families in Jianzhou City know her little things!"
When He Youchan heard this, she understood. Everyone else knew it, so it didn't matter if she was the only one to know it.
If you can't find out here, ask someone else.
Si Jinxing glanced at her and said, "So, are you willing to join forces with me?"
He Youchan thought for a moment and then said:
"As long as you are sincere and want to work with me to deal with Ye Wan'er, I am naturally willing.
You don’t know what kind of life I’m living now!”
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said:
“There are so many concubines in Prince Jing’s mansion, but Madam, she only appointed me to serve her in her room every day.
Rubbing shoulders, pinching legs, emptying the chamber pot... She is even worse than the maid in her room!
If I accidentally made her uncomfortable while serving her, she would make me kneel in the yard.
If the prince looks at me for even a second, she will beat and scold me.
Not to mention...if the prince came to spend the night in my room, she would humiliate and scold me even more severely.
She even called me, in front of all the servants in the mansion, a lowly slut who would bring down her husband...”
She paused, wiped the tears from her face, and continued:
"Yes, I was wrong about this. I shouldn't have walked away on the second day after our wedding.
But Si Jinhao’s death has nothing to do with me!
How did I end up with the reputation of being unlucky in marriage? I feel so wronged! "
