After seeing off Qiao, Xie rucao just came back to the house, but she had too many things in her heart. She tossed and turned many times, but she didn't fall asleep until the middle of the month.

When the sky turned white, she just held the jade hairpin that Xiao Junxi sent her, and slowly fell asleep.

However, in two days, rumors have been heard all over the capital. That day, many ministers were present in the imperial study. When they got home, they might have let out their words, and then they passed through the lady to the servants. Moreover, the news of the teahouse and restaurant is always the most well-informed. After such propaganda, Xie ruchuo's proposal to the emperor for marriage spread all over the capital.

When Xie rucao knew the news outside, even the whole Xie house had spread.

This day, Xie ruzhuo was teaching Xie Huailin to practice calligraphy, and she came in with an angry face.

Xie rucao's head didn't lift and asked with a smile, "who's provoking you again? Your face is black."

Smell speech, shallow Bi Dun when curled a lip, indignant way, "young lady, you don't know, this mansion servant everywhere says those disorderly, say of ugliness!"

"Oh? What did they say? "

Seeing that Xie rucao was still careless, light blue felt more aggrieved for her, "what else can I say? He said that you were beyond your ability and shameless, so you ran to the emperor and asked him to marry you to the third prince; He also said that you pasted the third prince with the credit of your family, and the third prince was forced to accept it; Oh, in a word, how ugly it is! I'm so angry

Listen to light green finish saying, Xie Ru Zhuo just said with a smile, "the mouth is long on others, we also can't stop is not."

But what really made her care was, "did someone say that I relied on the credit of my family? Oh, it's interesting to say that. I don't know who deliberately discredited the Xie family. "

If the front or slander her reputation, then the back of this is to give Xie family a big hat! She doesn't mind her reputation being destroyed, but she can't allow others to slander the Xie family!

See Xie Ru Zhuo's face sink down, shallow Bi also silence a way, "young lady, you don't like this, strange frighten a person."

Xie rucao sneered and said, "what are you afraid of? It's not you who should be afraid. But I guess who wants to slander our family. " In the imperial study that day, although there were no Shen family members, there were Zhang family members. This matter probably has something to do with the Zhang family.

Just at this time, suddenly hear outside the door Jiang Zhu hurried in, a happy face way, "Miss, the Imperial Palace Book seal will come down, the Chamberlain is waiting in the main hall now."

Xie rucao was so busy that he put down his writing brush and straightened the lapels of himself and Xie Huailin. The sister and brother walked towards the main hall.

Xie Shengli had already arrived. He was talking to the inner Chamberlain when he heard the inner Chamberlain say, "Your Majesty is very concerned about you. Today, he came out and asked the old slave to take a good care of you for him."

Hearing the speech, Xie Shengli immediately said with a smile, "thank you, my father-in-law. I'll go into the palace in a few days to greet the emperor."

Just then, seeing that Xie ruzhuo and others had arrived, the inner Chamberlain just stood up and slowly opened the imperial edict in his hand, saying, "the Xie family listen to the edict."

When Xie Shengli led his family to kneel down, he heard the shrill voice of the Chamberlain saying, "in honor of heaven, the emperor said: Xie's family is decorated with nobility, Xie's family is like a chisel, and he is honored as the third prince and concubine. Qin Tianjian and Huang Daoji were married in the future. Thank you very much

Although Xie rucao asked for the will in person that day, it was only written by Emperor Jing who made her feel at ease, without a jade seal. Today is the real imperial edict.

Xie Shengli said, "long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

The eunuch was so busy that he handed the imperial edict to him. He helped Xie Shengli up and said with a flattering smile, "congratulations to Xie Lao, congratulations to the third prince and concubine."

Xie ruzhuo gives a light gift to thank you. Standing aside, he only looks gentle. Xie Shengli said a few more words to the supervisor, and then he saw that the supervisor arched his hand and said, "I'm going to go to another house to make a declaration. Thank you, I'll talk to you another day."

When Xie Shengli answered, he heard Xie rucao ask, "I don't know who my father-in-law is going to?"

The inner Chamberlain didn't hide it either, and said with a scornful smile, "who else can have a family? Naturally, it's the Shen family. The emperor wants to give justice to the banquet on New Year's Eve. Today, I will marry you, and I will confer a title on Miss Shen. "

Xie Ru Zhuo micro one considers, ask a way, "can also be true imperial concubine?"

The inner Chamberlain's smile was still on his face, but he didn't respect him so much. "This imperial concubine can only afford it like Miss Xie. Shen family, Chi. "

Hear here, Xie Ru Zhuo then understood, this purpose definitely is a side imperial concubine.

After waiting for the eunuch to leave, Ji said with a kind smile, "zhuo'er, although the emperor's edict has been issued, you have to abide by your duty before you get married with the third prince. Do you understand?"

Xie ruzhuo asked Shi Yili and said, "zhuo'er understands."

As soon as her voice fell, she heard Xie Rulan humming and said, "if it's really unfair, some people have gone to the emperor's side to make trouble, and you still spoil her! Grandma, you are too cruel

Since Lu left, Xie Rulan felt more and more unable to eat at home. Liu's mind has always been bad, the new upper Liuyun is not a good one, called Xie Rulan more and more difficult. Now see Xie rucao so, is also seducing people, but the other party can be like a fish in water, he can only be punished by training, even more make her heart imbalance!

Ji's brow a wrinkly, way, "three wenches this is say of what words?"? Although she has asked for marriage, she has nothing to do with it. "

"Oh, isn't that right? In front of so many civil and military ministers, he forced the emperor to order a marriage. Aren't you ashamed, Xie rucao? Grandma, you tell me, how can it be regarded as Yueju! "

Xie Rulan is aggressive and looks at Xie ruzhuo's eyes, hoping to kill each other with his eyes.

Unfortunately, Xie ruzhuo didn't care. He just smiled and asked, "so what? Now I've been sealed as a concubine. What if you're not convinced?"

In a word, Xie Rulan is so angry that she jumps. Xie ruzhuo doesn't care about her any more. He just turns to support Qiao Shi and says, "grandma, I'll go back with you."

If Xie Rulan wanted to say anything else, he saw Xie Shengli's eyes swept over and said in a deep voice, "we are not allowed to discuss this matter in the future. Outsiders haven't said anything yet. Let our family get along with each other first. Isn't it a treacherous trick of others?"

Then he looked at the servants around him and said, "if you hear someone chewing their tongue behind your back in the future, you'll have to give them a match. Do you understand?"

Seeing all the servants around him kneel down in fear and say in unison, "the slaves understand."

Xie Rulan, even though unwilling, can only urn voice way, "understand."

The Chamberlain came to Xie's house quickly, but when he went to Shen's house, it was almost noon.

Hearing that the eunuch came, master Shen took the lead in kneeling in the yard, waiting for the announcement.

The warden looked at Shen Jingci, who stood out in the crowd. First, he praised her for her good color, then he sneered at her lack of reserve in his heart. After a long time, he coughed and said, "Shen's family has accepted the order."

"Fengtianyun, the emperor Zhao said: Shen Jingci, the daughter of the Shen family, is a well-known lady of the family. Now she is granted the title of the second imperial concubine and occupies a side position. In the future, qintianjian will get married. Thank you very much

When Shen Jingci first heard the sentence "for the prince and concubine", she was still very happy. But then she fell into the ice completely. On the side, she's just a concubine?!

Seeing that Shen Jingci didn't move, the inner Chamberlain was a little impatient and said with a smile, "Miss Shen, will you take the order?"

Or Mr. Shen's quick reaction, first took the will and said, "thank you, long live the emperor!"

Unwilling to stand up, Shen Jingci tightly clenched her hand hidden in her sleeve.

After Shen sent the supervisor away, he put away his smile and said, "ci'er, come with me."

Shen Jingci didn't dare to delay. When he went to the room with master Shen, he heard him ask, "didn't the second prince say that day that he would grant you the position of imperial concubine? How do you explain this today? "

Hearing the speech, Shen Jingci immediately covered her face with tears, knelt down and said, "grandfather, I'm not reconciled. This time I was designed!"

"Hum, don't you usually calculate the most? Now you can't fight others? It's just that you want to get married after all. Let your elder brother worry more about the family affairs in the future. "

Hearing this, Shen Jingci looked at him incredulously, and his voice became loud. "Grandfather, I've done so much for my family over the years."

Mr. Shen took a sip of tea, but his expression was heartless. "You're going to get married. Do you still expect to hold the power of the Shen family? The Shen family is not the dowry of your future husband's family! "

After hearing this, Shen Jingci felt cold to her heart. No matter how much she was unwilling, she did not dare to break out. She only kowtowed and said, "grandfather, I understand." Then she raised her eyes again and said, "but now the Shen family and the second prince have been tied together. They are both prosperous and they are both damaged. What if I married him today and became a side concubine? When he ascends the throne, I will be the only one who can be the queen. Grandfather, just watch! "

When she said this, Mr. Shen suddenly remembered that this little girl, who was only six years old, was so determined to say it to him.

Later, she showed her amazing talent and made the Shen family even better.

But can I still believe what she said today?

For a long time, master Shen just said, "don't worry, the Shen family is your mother's family after all. Grandfather is not a heartless person. If you can use the place of the Shen family, he won't stand by. "

Seeing that she only got this result after grinding for a long time, Shen Jingci hated that he was an old fox, but at the same time, she had nothing to do but kowtow and said, "thank you, grandfather. My granddaughter went back first."

When Shen Jingci returned to her room, the first thing she did was to sweep off a set of tea sets on the table and scream like crazy, "ah --"

Holding the piano, Shi Mo stood outside the door as if he had never heard of it, looked at each other, then lowered his head and began to do his own work.

After Shen Jingci finished venting, she sat on the ground slowly, her eyes shining coldly.

A carrier pigeon flew in. She reached for the pigeon and took out the note. After waiting to see the content above, he immediately widened his eyes and said in a hateful voice, "thank you so much!"

She had long suspected that the events at the Palace Banquet had something to do with Xie ruzhuo. Now it's not surprising! Her informant reported that only two people had entered the dressing hall that day. One was her and the other was Xie ruzhuo. And that Xie Ru Zhuo or go in before her, stay inside stealthily for a long time!
