The flickering candles made it difficult for Madam Zhuo to see Princess Han's expression. She still replied respectfully, "I don't know how Madam Six and Princess Xin'an hit it off right away, so I was unable to help."
"Well, I understand. Changsun has come in. She is a smart child. You can give her some advice if you have time." Princess Han rubbed her eyebrows, as if she was not the one who sent Madam Zhuo to the Yang family.
Madam Zhuo said hurriedly, "Yes, I know. When Concubine Changsun came into the palace, she looked ordinary, but she was actually a smart person. Although she was not as favored as Miss Yuwei, King Jiangxia saw that she was sensible, so she was not bad."
"Well, he still knows the limits. Changsun's family is the emperor's mother's family, and they are also a noble family with generations of honor. He will not be blinded by lust." Princess Han said lightly.
The arrival of the Changsun Consort made Yu Wei's position delicate. Although she was often favored, she was not pregnant at all. Now there was another Changsun Consort. The Consort was good-looking and had a good temper, which made her feel embarrassed. But the Changsun Consort was not a bad person. The charm she was playing with was given by her.
It is a very delicate white jade rabbit, which always feels soft and fragrant in your hands.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Yu Wei lowered her eyes and said, "Get ready to wash up."
"Aren't you going to wait for King Jiangxia? I heard that he returned from the palace today." The maid felt sorry for Yuwei. This girl Yuwei had a simple heart. She never argued with others and was kind to the servants. Following such a master, they lived a very comfortable life as maids.
But in the future, King Jiangxia will have more and more women, and as their looks fade, their love for women will fade. The maid is very worried about Yuwei.
If you don't seize King Jiangxia while you are still young, what will happen in the future?
Yu Wei said silently: "No need, let's rest first, the prince will not come today." Even though he didn't like Yu Rong, who was so beautiful, he chose someone like her. She couldn't ruin her good fortune. The concubine Changsun was of noble birth, treated people well, and could help King Jiangxia more than her in terms of family background. What was there for her to fight for?
"You..." The maids were secretly worried, but they had no right to go out and inquire without the master's order. Besides, Princess Han was very strict with her subordinates, and she would lock up everywhere at night and would not let the servants go out at all.
Li Xun did come to Changsun's place. Changsun was reading a book. She was a talented woman who had been reading since she was young. She was also very bookish. Everyone who interacted with her felt very comfortable.
Zhenzhen'er's temperament is as beautiful as orchid.
Seeing Li Xun coming over, Changsun smiled and said, "Master, are you hungry? I made some snacks today, why not give them to you to try."
Li Xun was unwilling to reject her kindness. Besides, he was still interested in Changsun, so he smiled and said, "Okay, you can sit down and have dinner with me today. I am tired after riding and shooting all day."
Concubine Changsun hurried to prepare, and soon some exquisite snacks were served, accompanied by hot almond cheese. Li Xun tasted a little and asked her what she was busy with during the day.
"This is mung bean cake, with some osmanthus extract on top, but it's not too sweet."
"Well, I do like this osmanthus dew, but my mother doesn't like it." Li Xun reminded her.
The eldest grandson's concubine said in a low voice, "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have made a big mistake."
At this time of year, osmanthus flowers are everywhere, especially osmanthus dew, which she makes the most. Fortunately, she hasn't given it to Princess Han, otherwise it would be bad if she unconsciously disgusted people.
Li Xun said with satisfaction: "Forget it, you will know these rules in the future."

On this day, the weather was clear and crisp in autumn. Yurong was too lazy to embroider anymore, so she stroked the strings of her zither and played "Spring River Moon Night". She was skillful and artistic, and she was so devoted to the music that she was intoxicated.
When Zhu saw Wei Xuanning stop, she was surprised and said, "Xuanning, come in."
"No, it would be bad if we disturb her." Wei Xuanning said lightly, is Yang Yurong really just a little girl? A song of Spring River Moonlight Night actually talks about it so murderously, and then there is Princess Xin'an...
Zhu thought Wei Xuanning was impressed by her daughter's talent, so she couldn't help but praise her. "Our Yurong has loved playing the zither and composing poems since she was little. Especially in her zither skills, few people can match her. Sometimes she can even write poems while playing. Although she is not well-known, she is indeed a very smart child."
Wei Xuanning smiled and echoed a few times.
The sound of the zither stopped abruptly, but the lingering music did not stop. Zhu smiled and said outside, "Yurong, look who's here?"
Yurong saw that the person who walked in was Wei Xuanning. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't Master Wei the Shao Yin in Taiyuan Prefecture? Why did he come back at this time?"
It's only been a short time since he returned.
Zhu scolded her daughter, "Xuan Ning came to see you with good intentions, and you still ask these questions. I'll ask them to serve tea." After saying that, she gave a look to the maid in the room. She hoped that her daughter and future son-in-law could have more contact to promote the success of the marriage.
After all, this has become a worry for her. As the saying goes, three times the limit, nothing happens. The marriage with the Zhang family failed, and the marriage with King Jiangxia also fell through. If the marriage with the Wei family fails again, what will happen to her daughter in the future? Will she really marry into a poor family? How can those people guarantee her daughter's appearance?
Wei's is still the best.
He has the highest family status and Wei Xuanning is also truly outstanding.
After the servants left, Wei Xuanning bowed hurriedly. He was the son of an aristocratic family, and being polite was almost ingrained in his bones.
Yurong also returned the greeting, but this time she was not coquettish. Instead, she looked at him leisurely, "What brings you here?"
At the end of the year when they were getting married, an official appointed by the imperial court suddenly came to his house. There must be something going on.
Sure enough, Wei Xuanning asked, "What did you give Princess Xin'an?"
He had not expected that Yang Yurong was actually the prince's spy. If he had not been cautious and placed someone next to Princess Xin'an, he would not have known this news. He was actually planning to work as a spy in Prince Han's palace.
I thought she was just an ordinary girl, but it turns out she has connections with so many people.
Hearing this, Yurong sat down leisurely, looking at Wei Xuanning with a teasing look, "I really didn't expect that I thought I was very thoughtful, but I never thought that Prince Consort Wei would know about it so quickly. It shows that you really put in a lot of effort..."
Wei Xuanning said coldly: "You——"
"Don't worry, I'm not a spy, nor am I a big shot. I just want to help Princess Xin'an because she doesn't like the banquet. If I don't use some tricks, I'm afraid there will be more such difficulties in the future. Why, do you want to get the Heshi Bi for your cousin?" Yurong looked at him with a smile.
When negotiating with others, you must always show some sincerity.
However, she didn't expect Wei Xuanning to be afraid of her as she imagined. Instead, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've cleaned up the mess for you. Everyone who knows that you deceived Princess Xin'an has been silenced."
Now it was Yurong's turn to be stunned. Why are you different from ordinary people?
