The Jiang Clan seemed to have a great understanding of the Xu Clan's character. Hearing this, their faces only turned slightly cold, before they smiled and turned their heads to talk to Qi Qi Seven, asking them about the details of the matter. However, in the end, it was just about whether they slept well, ate well, and had children.
Qi Qi Qi pursed her lips into a smile and answered one by one. There was no change in her expression, but she kept paying attention to the expression on the other side of Consort Xu's face.
Although she did not say anything, the subtle expressions on her face indicated time and again that she was gradually becoming impatient. Her pursed lips, her slightly lowered eyes, the slight wrinkles on her brow, and the constantly twisting handkerchief in her hand.
The original owner's environment, if one must describe it in terms of a certain type of drama, would be a house play. Moreover, it would be a house play where no one would have a good ending, and the Xu family was a pet concubine who was favored by tens of thousands in the early stages of a house fight, but ended up in a miserable state in the end. Compared to a small cannon fodder like Huang Qiqi, she was just a slightly bigger cannon fodder.
Thinking up to here, Qi Qi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She had a premonition that she might not need to find another way out of the mansion.
The Jiang Clan seemed to be very unaccustomed to the Xu Clan's transformation. While they were chatting with Qi Qi Qi Hua, they had been constantly sizing up the Xu Clan from the corner of their eyes. The unusual atmosphere in the hall today also caused the other concubines to not dare to say anything.
"Little sister Xu, today is a rare occasion. You've sat with me for so long, and in the past, little sister would leave without waiting for big sister to say a word. With Prince's punishment, little sister's temper seems to have improved a lot!"
The Jiang Clan smiled and said these words to the Xu Clan. After they finished, they did not say anything else and waited for the Xu clan to answer.
She raised her head and glanced at the Jiang Clan, and then as if nothing had happened, she lowered her head to play with the incense ball hanging by her waist.
"What is it? Elder sister doesn't welcome me to stay? "
This merciless retort instantly caused the Jiang Clan's smile to freeze.
"How could that be!?" However, I have neglected my little sister today, so don't take offense to it. After all, Seventh Brother is pregnant, and this is the first child of the Prince. I, your big sister, will always take care of it. " "Seventh Madame, come here, you haven't formally met Imperial Consort Xu, right? At that time, you almost became pregnant, and this is all because of little sister Xu's unintentional act. Now that the Prince has already punished you, you can't take it to heart."
Qi Qi Qi cursed silently in her heart. What a vicious Jiang Clan. With just that one sentence, they wanted her to start another conflict with the Xu Clan. Since it was her wish today, there would always be a chance to make up for it in the future.
Thus, a layer of mist slowly seeped into Qi Qi Qi's eyes as she bowed towards the Xu family, "Qi Qi Yi greets Big Sister Xu. If you've offended you in any way, please be magnanimous, Big Sister Xu."
For a moment, she only felt a surge of anger at her chest, unable to let it go. Just as she was about to say something, Mrs Chen, who had been standing behind her all this time, reached out her hand and tugged at her sleeve. Mrs Xu turned her head, only to see Mrs Chen faintly shaking her head, her eyes full of worry.
Mrs Xu gripped the handkerchief in her hands tightly, took a deep breath, and threw a sentence at Qi Qi Qi, "Don't call me sister so intimately. Don't judge your status. What qualifications do you have to call me sister?"
Hearing the Xu family's words, Qi Qi Qi had a better impression of the Xu family. She felt that this person was straight tempered and didn't have much of a heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be pitiful. She turned around and slightly raised her head to look at the Jiang family, then shifted her gaze to her mother, who was standing next to the Jiang family, looking like she was looking for help.
"Sister Xu, you're wrong. We are all wives of the prince, no matter how different our background was in the past, now we sisters all wholeheartedly serve the prince for his sake. In terms of status, we should all be treated as the same, and if there's a difference, it's only serving the prince for a short period of time.
When the Xu heard this, they just coldly looked at the Jiang Clan. They stood up and slightly bent over the Jiang Clan, and before they could shout, they straightened up: "I hope that elder sister is as you said, all the concubines in the house are like sisters. That way, I won't disturb all of you to talk about sisterhood."
The Jiang Clan was about to say something, but the Xu had already turned and left the hall, leaving her no room to speak.
Clenching her teeth, she revealed a stiff smile as she faced the concubines sitting in the kitchen and said, "You have all come for a short time, and should be tired as well. Go back and rest, seventy percent, you have to compensate me for my meal. This morning, the prince specifically ordered the kitchen to prepare a date paste cake for you to eat."
She pursed her lips, and didn't even raise her head. She only seemed to respectfully agree, but in her heart, she muttered. This Jiang clan really wouldn't let go of any chance to make enemies for her.
After everyone had left, the Jiang Clan brought Qi Seventh along to the restaurant.
As long as you successfully give birth to the prince's child, the prince won't treat you unfairly. I will also get what you deserve in front of the prince, believe me, as long as I'm here, no one will be able to take what belongs to you, right? "
"Something that belongs to me?" Qi Qi Qi looked puzzledly at the Jiang Clan with a bowl of Swallow's Nest porridge in her hand, and a pure and innocent expression on her face.
When the Jiang Clan heard this, they did not say much, and only looked at the 70-70 yuan's flat stomach.
Qi Qi followed the Jiang Clan's gaze and moved back and forth between his stomach and the Jiang Clan's face. After a while, he acted like he just came to a sudden realization. Immediately after, his face revealed a terrified expression, as if he was about to cry.
"Royal Consort … "Princess, are you saying that someone is trying to steal my child?"
"It's not someone. It's someone." Sun Yiyi's mother reached out to grab the small porcelain bowl in Qi Qi's hand, as if she was afraid she would hurt herself by smashing the bowl.
After seeing Qi Qi Qi's gaze fall on her, Sun Yiyi's mother turned to the west and pouted.
In her panic, Qi Qi hurriedly stood up and even bumped into the corner of the table, but she didn't care about this little bit of pain. Instead, she pretended to kneel down and earnestly begged, "Princess, please help me, I don't need anything, but I can't give up on this child. For the sake of this child, I'm willing to do anything."
When the Jiang family heard what she wanted to hear, the corner of her mouth twitched in satisfaction. It wasn't until she almost kneeled down that she signaled her mother to help her up.
"What are you doing?" Did I say I wouldn't help you? What are you so anxious for? Yet you still ignore your own body and make such a dangerous move. Say, if the child in your stomach gets hurt, how will you face the Duke and I's painstaking efforts? "
Sorry, it's too late. There are still two new chapters today.
Qi Qi stood up with the support of her mother and used a handkerchief to cover her eyes. She looked like she was wiping her tears, but in reality, she was trying to cover up the smile that appeared in the corner of her eyes.
"Princess, then what should I do?"
Jiang Shi stretched out her hand to pick up a piece of jujube cake from the plate in front of her and gently placed it into the bowl.
"If you want to avoid this situation, the only way is to make this person with ill intentions lose the ability to fight you!"
"Have you lost the ability to fight me? However … But I don't want to fight... I just want to be with the kids... "
"You don't want to fight, but you want to be with your child. Do you think that's possible?" The Jiang Clan calmly took another piece of jujube cake and bit into it. They slowly tasted the sour taste. Although their mouths were sore, their hearts were at ease.
"That's right, Seventh Madame. Although the wangfei can take care of you in the backyard, there will always be times when the wangfei can't. If you don't learn how to protect yourself, the chances of an accident happening are still very high, and didn't you say before that you were willing to do anything for the sake of your child?" "Why are you so afraid now?" Sun Yiyi's mother opened her mouth to persuade her, but in her heart, she wasn't optimistic about this timid Seventh Madame. If it wasn't for the fact that the prince had taken a fancy to this girl and that she was so fond of her son, she would never have entered the eyes of the wangfei.
Qi Qi lowered her head, and stretched out her hand to lightly stroke her stomach that she hadn't revealed yet, then solemnly nodded her head as if she had made up her mind. She then raised her head and looked at the Jiang family and Sun Yiyi's mother. "Qi Qi will follow wangfei's arrangements."
"Mm ~ ~ Then that's good. After eating breakfast, go sit at Xu Sanguan's place. We're both princes' women, you should get along well. You're not familiar with Xu Sanguan's place, I'll have Sun's mother accompany you."
After saying this, Lady Jiang gently threw the half-eaten date mud cake on her plate and took the wet handkerchief from a young maid. She wiped her hands, which had been painted bright red, and gave a look to her mother.
Sun Yiyi's mother nodded in understanding.
Qi Qi Qi saw everything with his own eyes, but his heart was full of caution. It seemed like there would be a good show playing out at Consort Xu's place soon. He was afraid that they would make a move on him to embarrass Consort Xu.
Wasn't her greatest use right now the child in her womb?
She wasn't afraid that they would let this child die. After all, the Jiang Clan was still hoping for her to successfully give birth to a son so that they could remember her name and add chips for her! However, it was inevitable that she would suffer a little for an insignificant matriarch like him.
It just so happened that she had to find an opportunity to get close to the Xu family and find a way to work together. Now, she could use the Jiang family's arrangements to openly go to the west yard.
"I'm afraid that Consort Xu does not wish to see me …" Since the show had already begun, it was time to end it all. Thus, Qi Qi Qi raised her head and carefully looked at the Jiang Clan's expression, and softly voiced her worries.
Sister Xu is a straightforward person who isn't good at socialising, so she definitely won't be happy. But since you're a guest, she can't just kick you out, and oh, what if something happens to you in her yard, like a little injury or something, how can she explain it to the prince? Maybe the prince is so angry that he locked her up, and she just got out of his confinement, so she won't make things difficult for you.
Qi Qi lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand back and forth. She had an uneasy look, but she repeatedly cursed the Jiang Clan's shamelessness in her heart.
