Zheng Bao sent Jiang Xuening out, the expression on his face didn't fluctuate much, as if the discussion in the past two hours was not something earth-shattering and would make people lose their heads if revealed, he just stood by the door and said: "The marriage One day's guards are bound to be strict, and there is not much time left for the girl to act, that's all Zheng Bao can help, and the rest is for Miss Jiang to plan carefully."

Jiang Xuening stared at him blankly.

Her footsteps were not easy when she came, and her footsteps were even more heavy when she left. She opened her mouth several times, but said nothing.

Zheng Bao's peaceful and clear eyes seemed to see the guilt and uneasiness in her heart, and he smiled at her as if to comfort her, and said: "His Royal Highness is a good person, and I will repay you for my kindness. Let alone the plan of the second girl Jiang From the looks of it, even if the incident happens, it is probably just a crime of negligence, and since a decision has been made, please don't hesitate, girl."

In the previous life, Zheng Bao was saved by Shen Jie. After Shen Jie ascended the throne, he served Shen Jie all year round. He could be seen everywhere. It's just that this person is really inconspicuous, and Jiang Xuening usually doesn't pay much attention to him. It wasn't until Xie Wei and Yan Lin conspired against him that he drew his sword and died silently, that others knew that there was such a strong and **** man in the palace.

She was silent for a long time.

But what should I say about apologizing, the one who wants to "repay the favor" is myself, and I really have no qualifications or position. The only thing I can do is to bow before stepping down the steps, to this person who I didn't pay much attention to in my previous life.

Because of her secret plan, she went out by herself today, and walked slowly on the street when she returned.

The fireworks in the market are all in the ears.

Jiang Xuening, however, was in a trance, and went to find Zhou Yinzhi again when she was near the Liulichang. Zhou Yin had betrayed her in her previous life, so she didn't dare to believe it all, and she didn't tell her all about her plan, but only told him to do a few things, and only returned to Jiang's Mansion after hearing the other party's promise.

At this time, it was already sunset.

Linzi King Shen Jie's selection of concubine is just today, if it is similar to the previous life, the result should have come out by now. Without her messing up the situation, Jiang Xuehui also brought an embroidered handkerchief, so she should be happy in this life, right?

Sure enough, she lifted her foot to enter the door, and saw the maids were all laughing and talking.

When passing the hall, I also saw some rewards from the palace placed inside.

Jiang Xuening was thinking, her reputation was not very good in her last life, and the old hag in the palace strongly opposed it, but Shen Jie directly chose herself who was wearing a red **** flower embroidered handkerchief; Jiang Xuehui's reputation in this life was also burdened by herself, There might be some criticism and resistance from the palace, but Shen Jie chose Jiang Xuehui without any suspense.

It doesn't look obvious on the surface, but I feel nostalgic in my heart.

The yards of Meng Shi and Jiang Xuehui were both facing the east, guessing that they were happy, she didn't bother to look for their bad luck, she turned around under her feet, and was going to go back to her own yard from the Chaoshou verandah through the hanging flower gate to the west.

Unexpectedly, before they got there, there was a loud noise from the other end.

It sounded like Jiang Xuehui.

"Mother! Why is this necessary? Don't go!"

"Let go, don't stop me! It's a good marriage, and it's a sure thing. If it wasn't for her bad reputation to get in the way, how could she be cut off halfway? How old are you! You're about to leave the cabinet, She is still running around outside! The upbringing of inviting someone to teach her in the past has long been lost, and what kind of decent is it to spread it? I have to go and see when she will come back!"

"Mother-"

Meng's stomach was full of anger, her face was tense, and she walked in front quickly.

The maids didn't dare to stop her, but Jiang Xuehui couldn't.

Jiang Xuening faintly felt that this sign seemed to be coming towards him? There was only a pause in the footsteps, and when he turned his head to look, he had already met Meng Shi who had come out from the other side.

Meng Shi was usually a dignified noble lady, but at this moment her complexion was unsightly like never before, as soon as she saw her, she immediately yelled: "It's just in time to come back, don't stop for me!"

Jiang Xuening frowned, not understanding what was going on.

She glanced at Jiang Xuehui next to her, only to find that the other side was slightly pale, although her expression was calm, it was hard to hide the dimness in the corners of her eyes and brows, and she didn't look very happy.

Isn't the position of Princess Linzi stable?

What's not to like?

Jiang Xuening sneered inexplicably in her heart, and was very impatient with Mrs. Meng: "What's the matter, mother?"

"What is it, do you still not know what it is? My Jiang family and Sister Hui are almost reduced to the laughing stock of the whole capital!" Meng's heart was terribly disturbed, "If you hadn't ruined your family's reputation and messed around with people everywhere, where would these things happen?"

Only then did Jiang Xue hear the clue.

She raised her eyebrows, she was a bit surprised: "Could it be that the position of princess was not chosen?"

This time it was really beyond her expectation, and this surprise was not half fake.

But in Mengshi's eyes, it was very eye-catching.

How it sounds like a provocation, how it looks like a mockery!

Jiang Xuening's gaze shifted from her to Jiang Xuehui's body. She felt that this incident was a bit unbelievable. Firstly, it was because Shen Jie chose her regardless of what other people said in her previous life. Second, when she came back, she clearly saw that there was a palace in the hall. Something rewarded for a happy event.

If he hadn't been chosen, where would he have given this?

Could it be...

A possibility popped up in her mind, but it was absurd. She shook her head and muttered, "That's really weird."

Meng Shi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

When she came out of Jiang Xuehui's courtyard, there were many maids and women following her, but on the way, she saw Jiang Xuening coming back from outside at this time, how many ladies in the capital are like her?

He was messing with Yan Lin earlier, and now he's messing with Xiao Dingfei again!

The entire Jiang family's inner house will be humiliated by her!

Meng's face was covered with frost, and he said coldly: "In the past, you were misled by people with ulterior motives, but you can always find someone to protect you, even the master can't cure you, so you have nothing to say. However, His Royal Highness Prince Linzi’s choice of concubine is a matter of lifelong importance for your sister, but you have been dragged down by your reputation and missed the position of main concubine for no reason. Your birthday is not the age where you can mess around outside, if you don't restrain and discipline you, you don't know what bigger disasters will happen in the future!"

Jiang Xuening was stunned for a moment: Is she really a side concubine?

She looked at Jiang Xuehui.

What Jiang Xuehui recalled was the embarrassment she faced at the time of choosing a concubine. Wen Zhaoyi spoke for her, Xiao Shu's words with guns and sticks, and other people's implied sarcastic eyes still made her feel a little rare embarrassment.

Mrs. Meng waved her hands and called the two women with big arms and round waists, and said: "Then please bring the second girl back to me. From today onwards, I will be confined to the mansion and copy "Nvjie" for me a hundred and eighty times! If I don't With her permission, no one is allowed to let her go out!"

The women got orders and immediately walked towards Jiang Xuening.

After all, Mrs. Meng is the mistress, although they also know that Jiang Xuening is not a good mistress, but this time she is a drag on the eldest girl's selection of Linzi Princess, even if the master comes, I'm afraid she won't give her a good face , so he gritted his teeth and was ruthless, and decided to strike hard when Jiang Xuening showed any signs of resistance.

The development of the matter was not in Jiang Xuening's expectation at all. Jiang Xuehui was not selected by Shen Jie as the main concubine. She was surprised at first, and then naturally gave birth to a bit of funny gloating.

Who made her not very used to Jiang Xuehui?

It's really weird.

In this life, she didn't get in the way, so it can be seen that these two people may not have a serious relationship.

It's just that Mrs. Meng blamed this on her, which made her feel a little disgusted from the bottom of her heart. Seeing the two women pushing towards her, her heart suddenly became angry, and she frowned and picked up a wooden stick next to the flower stand Then he waved and hit it!

There is a ruthless heart in my heart, so I will naturally be merciless in my strikes.

The wooden stick hit the head and body, and it hurt so badly, the two women couldn't even touch Jiang Xuening, they were beaten up and screamed.

Meng knew that Jiang Xuening was stubborn and rebellious, but she didn't expect that she not only dared to resist but also dared to fight. She almost fainted with anger, and scolded: "Rebellion, rebellion! It's really going to be rebellion!"

There was a lot of movement on the veranda.

Jiang Boyou came back from the yamen, and led Xie Wei to go to his own study. When he came over and saw Jiang Xuening beating the servant with a stick, he frowned immediately, and shouted: "What are you doing?! Put it down quickly!"

With a sound of "touch", Jiang Xuening hit the woman on the left with another wooden stick on the back, causing her to lie down on the ground in pain, looked back, threw the stick to the ground, and clapped her hands.

Meng Shi was trembling with anger, pointed at her and said: "Master, look at her, she looks lawless now, it seems that she can't control it!"

Jiang Boyou sighed inwardly, and only asked, "What's going on?"

Jiang Xuening stood where she was, with a sneer on her lips, and did not reply.

Xie Wei stood beside Jiang Boyou, and also stopped.

Because he came out of the cabinet directly, he was wearing a black cross-collared deep shirt, which covered the lower neck in layers, exposing the protruding Adam's apple. The outer official robe has faded, but it is rare that he did not wear an ordinary Taoist robe, but put on a dark blue crane cloak embroidered with silver cloud and thunder patterns.

The body is like a sword on the top of a mountain, and the eyes are like two handfuls of snow at the bottom of a cliff.

Compared with the Taoist robes of the hermit masters in the past, although today's is also super dusty like the breeze and the moon, it is a bit more noble and noble.

He seems to be an outsider, but in fact he knows the situation inside Jiang's mansion and Jiang Xuening's usual style. His eyes fell on Jiang Xuening, and then he swayed around Meng Shi, Jiang Xuehui and the wooden stick on the ground, and the smile on his lips faded a little.

Mrs. Meng said: "She always goes out to mess around, and my concubine intends to discipline her, but she is used to being rampant. If she refuses to accept it at all, she will pick up a stick and beat and scold the servants! If things go on like this, my Jiang family's family style still doesn't call her Destroy cleanly!"

Jiang Boyou was really disturbed.

No one wants outsiders to see bad things in their own family, but there are outsiders right now, and at a glance, they can see that the key lies in Jiang Xuening, and said: "These rumors are indeed spread everywhere in the capital, Ning girl, your mother's words Although it is a bit unreasonable to worry about, it is also reasonable. I am also preparing to talk about marriage at the age of double ten. It is for my own good, so I should restrain myself. Let’s not pursue it today, you go back first."

Jiang Boyou's words seemed to be referring to Jiang Xuening, but it really meant picking it up and putting it down lightly. The Meng family was full of resentment, but at this moment, she inevitably lost her sense of proportion, showing a bit of dissatisfaction: "But master, if she didn't ruin the family's reputation and drag you down Sister Hui, how can Sister Hui be ridiculed today, and only fall into the position of side concubine?!"

Jiang Boyou's expression changed instantly.

Jiang Xuehui also realized that Meng Shi's words were very inappropriate at this moment, and as soon as she pulled Meng Shi's sleeve, she wanted to persuade her to leave together.

Unexpectedly, Xie Wei, who had been standing beside him for a long time without speaking, suddenly laughed.

He had the face of a banished immortal, but he was really pretty when he smiled.

But Wen Wenran's voice came out, making people a little uneasy for no reason, and said to Meng Shi: "Does Madam still feel that the position of side concubine of His Royal Highness Linzi is not enough?"

Meng Shi was taken aback for a moment.

She had seen this Young Master Xie before, with a gentle posture, reminiscent of an ancient sage, and his speech made people feel like a spring breeze. But what she said at this moment made her feel inexplicably horrified.

I didn't know how to answer.

Xie Wei didn't even look at Jiang Boyou next to him, turned his eyes to look at Jiang Xuening, seeing her staring at him in a daze, as if he didn't expect him to speak, a layer of gloom suddenly spread in his heart.

But his face was still pale and pale, without revealing any clues.

He only waved to her and said, "Ning Er, come here."

Jiang Xuening didn't know why, but since the matter of Tongzhou was over, her relationship with this gentleman was considered harmonious, so she thought that the other party had something to do, so she walked towards him without thinking much.

In front of him, he was half a head shorter.

Xie Wei was already holding Fang Xuebai's brocade handkerchief in his hand, he sized her up and frowned slightly, then passed the brocade handkerchief to her, but continued without raising his head: "Dear Tongzhou incident It was also involuntarily involved in it, and Madam blamed a child who was in danger and almost died, which is really biased."

It was only then that Meng Shi realized that the words were addressed to herself, and she was bluntly saying that she was biased!

Her face turned blue and white.

Even though Xie Wei is the emperor's teacher and Jiang Boyou's long-lost friend, at this moment, he defended Jiang Xuening in his words, which made her feel a little dissatisfied. But the identity of the other party is really good, even Jiang Boyou would not dare to offend, he was quite careful, so he forced himself to smile, and said: "It's not because I am biased, the things in my Jiang's house are inhumane, Master Xie really has something to do. I don't know."

Jiang Xuening actually didn't care much about what happened behind her, but after receiving Xie Wei's brocade handkerchief, she felt a little puzzled.

Is there something on her face?

She picked it up and wiped it on her face, but the brocade handkerchief was clean without any stains.

Xie Wei lowered his eyes and reminded her plainly, "Wipe your hands."

Jiang Xuening looked down, only to realize that his hands were covered with plaster.

It should have been stained when he picked up a wooden stick and beat someone just now.

She said "oh", said "thank you, sir", and wiped her hands.

Xie Wei looked at her, but he didn't see the obvious joy or anger on her face. The sadness and ridicule that flashed when he threw down the stick just now seemed to have never existed, and even the person standing behind him seemed to be different. She is a close relative, so she remembered in her heart that when she sat in his carriage and read the letter from Jiang Boyou on the way back to Beijing that day, she seemed to have the same numb expression.

Sometimes the closer you are in the world, the more hurtful you are.

At this moment, he wanted to reach out and touch Jiang Xuening's head, telling her not to be sad, but he finally held back. Seeing that she had wiped the snow-white brocade handkerchief dirty, he smiled indifferently, and looked up at Meng Meng. Shi: "The house in your mansion is private, and outsiders really don't know about it. Although the old affairs of Concubine Jiang's life have passed away for a long time, she was raised under her wife's knees, and she should be reported as a heir. The royal family has not checked it. But if you are not satisfied, others will check it out. Find out, it's not good to put on a hat of deceiving the emperor. Although Ning Er is a stubborn student, he also has filial piety to his husband. The little girl is hot-tempered and difficult to tame. Xie has the courage to plead for her, and ask his wife to be lenient treat."

There was no sharp sound, but when it fell into people's ears, there was a splash of thunder!

Meng's heart was terrified.

He raised his head to meet Xie Wei, but it was a pair of gentle and quiet eyes with a smile like a spring mountain.
