Chapter 403 Concubine

Xie Zhiwei naturally knew Princess Xiang, but she didn't expect to meet her in the queen's palace today. She stepped forward to salute Princess Xiang graciously. Princess Xiang took off a white jade inlaid gold bracelet from her wrist and put it on Xie Zhiwei's wrist , and said to the queen, "As soon as I heard that it was this child, I was overjoyed. It can be seen that marriage in this world is all about fate. It is all thanks to the emperor and the queen, who have discerning eyes and pearls, and gave it to Ah Xun." Picking such a good wife."

The queen was also overjoyed, "How can I say this? It's not that the whole family doesn't come into the house. Ah Xun is likable, and Wei girl is also a good and sensible child. This marriage is perfect."

Linghua and Yuan Jia were joking aside, and quietly said to Xie Zhiwei, "Sister Wei, should we call you fifth sister-in-law instead?"

Xie Zhiwei blushed with embarrassment, but did not dare to relax at all. She always felt that it was not that simple for Princess Xiang to enter the palace today.

Sure enough, after saying a few words on the scene, Princess Xiang said, "I just came from the Qingshou Palace, and I was going to ask my mother to show me, but my mother said that it was at a critical moment in my practice, so I didn't see anyone Please show me what is the matter, the empress."

When the empress heard this, she knew that the empress dowager didn't want to see her, so she sent people here, brought tea, took a sip, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"That's right!" Concubine Xiang glanced at Xie Zhiwei provocatively, "Ah Xun's position as the concubine is determined, but the princess is too young, and it will take three or four years before Jiji, at that time Ah Xun How old I am, I can't wait like this all the time, there is always someone waiting in his room, so I thought, by the way, I also decided on the candidates for the two side concubines for Ah Xun. Anyway, there are still people taking care of things.”

The queen thought about this, and it was not unreasonable. Xie Zhiwei was indeed too young, and Xiao Xun was fourteen years old. At this age, who doesn't have one or two roommates in the house of the rich and powerful in Beijing?

However, she couldn't help worrying, she glanced at Xie Zhiwei, and seeing Xie Zhiwei as motionless as a mountain, she couldn't help sighing that she was younger than her Yuan Jia, but she was able to take on things.

The queen asked, "Wei girl, what do you think?"

Xie Zhiwei stood up and bowed to the queen, "Empress, I don't know who this side concubine will be, who is appointed by Prince Xiang's Mansion?"

After all, the person who will call Sister Xie Zhiwei in the future, it is reasonable for Xie Zhiwei to intervene, so the queen asked Princess Xiang, "Who are the candidates for this side concubine?"

Princess Xiang put half of her heart in her stomach, moved her buttocks forward, and hurriedly said, "They are all people who know the basics, and now I have a niece from my natal family, who is one year older than Ah Xun. When you get older, it will not be so difficult to have an heir, after all, it is too young, even if you have a child, it will be difficult to sit still."

The queen knew it in her mind, but Xiao Xun was not her son anyway. Although the candidate for the side concubine came from a merchant, it had nothing to do with her, so she looked at Xie Zhiwei.

Xie Zhiwei pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to Princess Xiang, "Princess, if I remember correctly, the dealer is from an imperial merchant?"

Zhuang's face turned livid, she didn't expect Xie Zhiwei to be so straightforward, so she asked coldly, "What does the Princess want to say?"

"Although the side concubine is also a concubine, but the side concubine is going to be on the imperial jade certificate. Even if the Prince Xiang's mansion wants to give a concubine to the county prince, according to the rules of the emperor Taizu, he must choose the daughter of an official of the fifth rank or above. It's a little too low."

"You!" Zhuang's chest heaved with anger, "Are you accusing me?"

Xie Zhiwei shook his head very sincerely and said, "Duan Xian dare not, Duan Xian is just telling the truth, besides, Emperor Taizu did have such rules. As for why Prince Xiang insisted on marrying the concubine back then, that is an old story. Besides, the juniors dare not comment on the matters of the elders, but if Duan Xian and a merchant's daughter are called sisters, Duan Xian will be hard to obey!"

After she finished speaking, she stood up and bowed to the queen, "I also ask the empress to be the master!"

The queen pondered for a moment, and said to Princess Xiang, "Sister and sister, why don't you go back and discuss this matter with the prince first? Turning around, I will also go to ask the queen mother for instructions. You also know that what happened to Ah Xun is extraordinary. Moreover, Emperor Taizu did have this will."

Princess Xiang couldn't understand the Queen's protection of Xie Zhiwei. She was very angry, but she didn't dare to make a mistake in Fengzhi Palace. She only gave Xie Zhiwei a hard look, and then got up to leave.

When Princess Xiang left, the queen took Xie Zhiwei's hand and patted it lightly, "You are a smart child, and I don't worry about you, but if there is anything, you must tell me, and I can do it for you." You call the shots, and they will still call the shots for you.”

"Thank you, empress!" Xie Zhiwei thanked her.

It was getting late, Xie Zhiwei bid farewell to the queen, took the kite, and was accompanied by Madam Xi and walked out. In the alley next to the Palace of Imperial Instruments, she was stopped by Concubine Wan, "Princess, I have something to say to you." Say it!" As she spoke, she glanced at Nanny Xi.

Xie Zhiwei glanced at Concubine Wan and smiled, "No matter what you ask of me, I can't help you. If you want to say something, you can say it now. If you feel it is inconvenient to say it, then don't say it."

"I am Miss Xue's cousin. Xue's family and Xie's family are relatives with broken bones and tendons. Today I saw Mr. Lu and the princess... Princess Duanxian, please give me the side medicine, If I can take good care of my body, I can give birth to a dragon son for the emperor in the future, and he will continue to have an heir."

Nanny Xi pursed her lips and turned her face away. Those who came out of the yard were indeed shameless.

Xie Zhiwei looked at Concubine Wan, a little strange, "Concubine Wan can say what she wants to say, and besides, there are so many imperial physicians in the imperial hospital, Madam Wan's health is not in serious condition, if it is to take care of her body, they can all prescribe medicine , Why should Empress Wan concubine look far away?"

After finishing speaking, she walked away, not wanting to have more involvement with Concubine Wan, and she was not at all afraid of what Concubine Wan would say.

Concubine Wan wanted to block Xie Zhiwei's way, but was pushed away by Nanny Xi, she stumbled back two steps, leaning against the palace wall, her heart ashamed.

Could it be that she really has no hope?

She finally delivered the letter out of the palace and asked Xue Wanqing to help her again. Xue Wanqing only told her that the only person who could help her now was Lu Yan, and Princess Duanxian once saved Lu Yan's life. If Lu Yan knew Duan Xian If the princess is on good terms with her, he will definitely take good care of her.

In the palace, as long as Lu Yan is willing to take care of her, she will not worry about not having the opportunity to serve the emperor.

But Princess Duanxian dared not help her! Li Wanfen was so angry that she clenched her fists. Don't they, these high-ranking noble daughters, just look down on her origin?

Although Princess Duanxian got a good marriage, who knows if she will be able to gain a foothold in Prince Xiang's Mansion after getting married in the future.

Xue Wanqing also said that after marrying into her husband's family, how many princesses can't stand upright, are despised by her husband's family, and are not favored by her husband, let alone a mere princess.

Besides, isn't Xie Zhiwei afraid that he might hold her back? She believed that Xie Zhiwei understood what she said, but remained indifferent.
