Chapter 361: Afraid of Xi Que being wronged
Since he has become a monk, Miss Pei Si’s plan must have failed.
I wonder how Su Yushi would feel when he returns from Jiangnan and finds out that his son has been forced to become a monk by his wife, and that the girl from the Jiang family that he had finally arranged with great effort has also been offended by his wife?
Would he divorce her in anger?
Emperor Xuanwu knew what bad idea she was thinking of after taking one look at her, and tapped her forehead lightly: "Su Yushi went to Jiangnan this time with his most beloved concubine."
That is to say, when he returns, the concubine will also come back with him.
It is obvious that Mrs. Su is not an easy person to get along with. The concubine can win her favor under her hands and be taken to Jiangnan by Su Yushi. She must be very capable.
Madam Su messed up such a big thing. How can she have a good life when the concubine whispers in Su Yushi's ear?
Madam Su is unlucky, but Jiang Xinyue is quite happy to see it.
Outside the window, the snow is white. Under the opposite corridor, Xi Que is warming her hands with hot air: "Qingyu, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly. The queen is waiting for me to serve her!"
Qingyu wanted to stretch out his hands behind his back, but then retracted them. After hesitating for a long time, he handed over an oil paper package: "Didn't you say you like to eat a bite of crispy chestnut cake? I brought it to you on my way out of the palace on business."
Xi Que was greedy. It had been a long time since she had eaten a crispy snack. She quickly pinched a small piece and put it in her mouth.
Sweet, fragrant and soft taste, that's what it tastes like!
She narrowed her eyes, and it was obvious that she liked this gift more than the pearl hairpins that Qingyu gave her some time ago.
"It's still hot!"
Xi Que looked at the snowy day, then at Qingyu's obviously messy clothes on her chest, and her cheeks flushed.
Qingyu's eyes never left Xi Que's face, and when he saw her suddenly blush, he lowered his eyes embarrassedly, but his red ears betrayed his mood.
Xiao Xiangzi stood outside Jiang Xinyue's room, looking at the two innocent people with a smile on his face, as if he was an old father who was reluctant to marry his daughter off.
"This Qingyu..."
Emperor Xuanwu shook his head in amusement: "If you want to find a good family for Xi Que, Qingyu is a good candidate. His surname is Meng."
"The Meng family in the west of the capital?"
Emperor Xuanwu nodded: "That's right."
Isn't it just a good candidate?
The emperor was too conservative.
Meng Qingyu's grandfather was the deputy general of the cavalry general in the army. Later, he retired from the front line due to injury, but he was deeply trusted by the general, so he arranged a leisurely job of organizing documents for him in the barracks.
Although this is the case, all military affairs, big or small, must go through the hands of Meng Qingyu's grandfather. Everyone in the capital knows that the general's mansion, from the old lady to the young men and women, all take good care of the Meng family.
Meng Qingyu's parents died early, and he only has a grandmother who is over 70 years old at home. His grandfather follows the army and may not come home once a year.
Even Meng Qingyu's job as a front guard was arranged for him by the general's mansion.
Of course, he also has real skills, otherwise he would not have been able to fight his way out of so many front guards and get the opportunity to protect the emperor.
The front guard will only be his starting point, not his end.
After a few more years of experience, it is estimated that there will be another fierce general in the cavalry army.
But...
although after the Sixth Prince's full-year banquet, Xi Que will be the first-class maid beside the Empress, but a maid is ultimately a servant. The Meng family has a bright future. Will they accept Xi Que as Meng Qingyu's wife?
If she becomes a concubine, Jiang Xinyue is somewhat unwilling.
If she had a choice, she would have chosen a similar family and married them as a legal wife.
Xi Que is not good at scheming and acts straightforwardly. She has never deliberately tried to make Xi Que change anything. She thinks it's good for her to be herself.
She couldn't bear to let Xi Que suffer any grievances, what if the Meng family didn't accept her identity...
"What are you thinking about?"
The emperor turned her body over to face him: "Xique has her own blessings, you don't have to think too much, just take good care of our little princess and make her thin and fair. I will give her all the pearls, jades, jewels and jewelry in my private storehouse."
The emperor had taken care of the Sixth Prince when he was still in his mother's womb, and now he is even more at ease with the second child.
Jiang Xinyue was more comfortable with her pregnancy than with the first.
After all, the empress dowager was still there at that time, and the queen, Li Guifei, Defei and Liangfei were all eyeing her covetously.
Her heart has never really relaxed since she became pregnant with the Sixth Prince until she gave birth.
This time is different.
The harem was firmly in her hands, and she didn't have to be on guard against this or that. With Emperor Xuanwu "serving" on the side, Jiang Xinyue felt that if she was ten years older, wouldn't she be the empress dowager?
Life was too comfortable, causing Jiang Xinyue to forget about Princess Lihua of Goguryeo. It was not until March, when the palace was preparing for the triennial selection of beautiful women, that she heard the name of Jin Lihua again.
"The envoys of Goguryeo were going back to their country. Before leaving, they sent Princess Lihua to the palace, saying that they wanted to present the most beautiful pearl of Goguryeo to the emperor and let him accept it with pleasure!"
Now she has moved into the Yanqing Palace where Concubine De used to live, and has become the head of the palace, Concubine Ru.
When Jiang Xinyue, Yupin and Wenfei were playing mahjong, Yupin was so angry that she jumped up and down: "The emperor is quite generous to outsiders. He gave me the title of concubine as soon as I got the title. I have served him for many years and even gave birth to a princess. He demoted me from Liangfei to a concubine and didn't even mention the title of a concubine in the harem during the New Year. I was so happy in vain."
Wenfei silently took one of her cards: "You are so impatient. Doesn't your majesty have any plans in mind?"
Yupin pushed the card away: "No more playing, no more irritable people, there are still others! Your majesty, since the death of Defei, the second princess has been sticking to my Yu'er more and more. I see that she speaks more and more biasedly. I wonder if it is instigated by the people around her? If so, all the palace people serving her should be replaced."
In order to prevent the hatred from growing in the future.
Jiang Xinyue sneered, "She is no younger than the eldest princess by two years. The eldest princess was able to persuade you to turn over a new leaf, but she was instigated by the servants around her and harbored resentment towards me. It's nothing more than that she hates me in her heart."
She is not the Holy Mother. Concubine De plotted against her and wanted to kill her child, so why would she repay evil with kindness?
As long as the Second Princess did not do anything evil, she would not interfere. When she was old enough, she would let the Emperor marry her off.
If she was unwilling and wanted to avenge her mother, she would not show mercy.
