Qingyue sent the letter to Yu Xijiao. Yu Xijiao reached out and took it, opened it and read it.
The letter contained a few simple greetings, and then said that he had something to do and could not come to Beijing right away. There was nothing else, and then there was a signature.
It seems so simple, and they didn't even mention the injury in the letter. The relationship between the brother and sister can be seen to be extremely cold, and it's just a matter of face.
That's right, even if they are biological brothers and sisters who have grown up together, how can they be intimate with each other? They are just familiar strangers.
When the letter was opened, it was clear that the person who wrote the letter did not care whether the letter was seen by others, and it also showed that he read it casually.
The etiquette is simple and the letter is casual, which means that the etiquette is acceptable.
For my sister, I only gave two pieces of ordinary material. Although it was different from the material in the capital, it was only slightly different in pattern and color. The material felt ordinary and I didn't even give it a decent Taoist ornament.
But Yu Xijiao smiled, the corners of her lips curled up into a smile, she inserted the letter into the envelope and looked at the medicinal materials again.
After Yu Xijiao came to Beijing, she was not acclimatized at all, and she has always been good. The so-called acclimatization was just an excuse made by the Crown Prince Xuanping. He randomly found some medicinal materials and did not know whether they had any effect, but
At least it's not too bad to eat, so sending some here is a way to fulfill the brother-sister bond.
In the eyes of others, Yu Xianyi really didn't care about his biological sister.
Taking the medicine, Yu Xijiao smelled it and nodded. The taste was very pure and it was indeed what she needed. When she was in the south of the Yangtze River, it was available at Aunt Min's place. Some of the medicinal materials in the Southern Tang Dynasty were different from those in the capital. Aunt Min
Chu taught some medical skills that were different from those in the Central Plains, so he was well prepared.
After reading the medicinal materials, Yu Xijiao sat at the table again, picked up the opened letter, and read each word. After finishing reading, a trace of tranquility slipped through her eyes...
"I've seen my mother!" Yu Yuxi led several people into Qian's inner room.
In the room, Ms. Qian sat up excitedly and said in a trembling voice: "Xier! Are you...is your father going to let me out?"
"Mother, I'm afraid my father doesn't want to let you go." Yu Yuxi stood up straight and slowly walked to a chair aside to sit down. She took a handkerchief and pressed it on her nose. "Mother, even if my father doesn't come, you won't clean up here. You can do it yourself."
Don’t you want to clean it up too?”
Qian's life was not good during this period. She had aged as much as ten years, her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale and thin. It was hard to believe that a few months ago, Mrs. Xuanpinghou was still a beautiful woman.
"I...I was thinking about your father not coming, thinking about you not coming, and I was crying all day long, so I couldn't even think about dressing up." Qian's eyes turned red, "I'll dress up later, and I'll be with you later.
Let’s go see your father together, don’t worry, I’ll dress up the same as before.”
Qian said as she stood up and went to the dressing table, asking the maid next to her to wash herself up.
"Mother, didn't I just tell you that father didn't let you out?" Yu Yuxi said mockingly, looking at her mother's behavior with anger in her eyes.
Qian was stunned and sat down helplessly: "Your father doesn't want to let me go yet?"
"Mom, father doesn't mean that. If you want father to take the initiative to let you go, I'm afraid it won't work, unless..." Yu Yuxi looked at Qian and sneered.
"Unless what?" Qian asked eagerly.
"Unless something happens to Aunt Zhou, mother, Aunt Zhou is now a wife, and father will soon organize a banquet for her to tell the world and clear her name." Yu Yuxi raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were filled with ice, "Mother, you are so stupid
With Mrs. Hou in charge, it will be the same as without Mrs. Hou from now on. Many people in the mansion now only know Mrs. Zhou and don’t know you, Mrs. Hou."
"How dare she be a bitch!" Mrs. Qian was furious, with fierce jealousy on her face, "This bitch couldn't give birth to an heir, why should she be called an equal wife? She is just a mean concubine. Something will happen to her. She
Something is going to happen soon."
Qian only regretted that he had been gentler at that time and only allowed this bitch to have an abortion, but did not take her life. Otherwise, what happened now would not have happened.
It took so long to send that letter, but there was no reply. Could it be that there was something wrong on the way?
Back when this bitch took over the power in the backyard, she sent the letter to Grandma Xi. Could it be that something went wrong?
Qian became panicked.
"It's not that important to have an heir or not. Didn't the mother give birth to an heir? The most important thing is the father's wishes!" Yu Yuxi curled her lips, her smile not reaching her eyes, "Grandma means it, mother, you'd better be able to
Get out of here."
"Your father won't let me go..." Qian said eagerly, "What else did your grandmother say?"
"Grandma also said that if you can't walk out from here, it won't matter whether you are Mrs.
, I also ask my mother to secure her position as Mrs. Xuanpinghou, the best one is the one and only one."
"The matter between you and Prince Duan is over?" Qian was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed and looked at Yu Yuxi anxiously.
"Yes, it's done, but she's just a concubine." The corners of Yu Yuxi's eyes twitched fiercely, and she felt resentful when she mentioned this.
"What's going on?" Qian asked anxiously.
Yu Yuxi did not hide anything and told what happened one by one. When she finished speaking, Qian was furious and slammed the table hard: "This matter was obviously caused by this bitch. Your father is really confused. No wonder
When others talk about your father, they blame him for being out of tune."
"Mother, now is not the time to talk about this. Yu Xijiao ruined my affairs, and I will not let it go. But the most important thing now is mother's affairs. Mother, you have to get out of here.
"Yu Yuxi pointed out that Qian's imprisonment would do her a lot of harm.
Not to mention that her reputation outside will be affected, she may not be able to stand upright in Prince Duan's Mansion in the future because of this matter. Another point is that if her dowry falls into the hands of Aunt Zhou, it will definitely be satisfactory and there cannot be too much.
For me, I must have a brother and a sister.
Thinking about it this way, it is inevitable for Qian to walk out from here.
"Mom, look what this is?" Yu Yuxi didn't want to go around any more corners with Qian, so she took something out of her arms and put it on the table.
"Jade Ruyi from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?" Following her words, Qian lowered his head subconsciously and asked in shock when he saw the thing in front of him.
The Ruyi jade of mutton-fat white jade carries many beautiful blessings, and the clear color of the jade is extraordinary at first sight.
"Yes, it is the famous Ruyi jade from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. It was the Ruyi jade left to my eldest brother by my grandfather." Yu Yuxi pointedly said.
"How did you get this piece of Ruyi Jade?" Qian anxiously held the Ruyi Jade in his hand and examined it carefully with trembling fingers.
"I borrowed it from my eldest brother in my mother's name," Yu Yuxi said.
"Okay, great. With this Ruyi piece of jade, it's done." Qian was shocked at first and then overjoyed. She held the Ruyi piece of jade and laughed, "Your grandfather's Ruyi piece of jade is not an ordinary one."
The toy was given by the late emperor, who gave it to your grandfather. Look, there are dragon patterns here."
Mrs. Qian pointed to a place and said that Yu Yuxi had seen it before. She snorted coldly and reminded Mrs. Qian: "Mother, you have to think clearly. Maybe this jade Ruyi is not as useful as you think. My daughter was
It was also a casual move, and I remembered that my mother had talked about the jade Ruyi in my elder brother's hand before."
"It's useful, how could it be useless? Not to mention your father, even the emperor..." Qian gritted her teeth proudly, paused here, and then changed the topic, "It's so easy for a bitch like Aunt Zhou to actually use it.
Such a good Yu Ruyi suppressed her affairs, this bitch will be looked down upon even if she is an aunt in the future."
"Mother, grandfather is no longer here, how can this thing still be of such great use?" Yu Yuxi said disapprovingly.
Qian clasped the Ruyi in her hand tightly: "How could it be useless? This thing is the most useful."
"Mom, don't come to me about this matter. I'm just a daughter. Even with the jade Ruyi, I can't explain my decision not to let my father make equal wives." Yu Yuxi reminded Qian, for fear that she would change her mind.
to yourself.
She always liked to hide behind others, and there was no way she could rush in front of others on her own initiative.
"If I don't look for you, I'll go by myself." Qian gritted his teeth.
"Mother, you can't get out." Yu Yuxi reminded her.
"How is it possible that I can't get out? If Aunt Zhou, a bitch, wants to become an equal wife, she has to offer me a cup of tea. How could your father not let me go out? Otherwise, her name as an equal wife is unfair." Mrs. Qian.
sneered.
Although the common wife is a wife, she is under the title of the head wife. Qian herself entered the Xuanping Hou Mansion as a common wife. The Marquis at that time was the Xie family, and the Qian family held the concubine ceremony to Xie family.
Although they are both wives, they are still in a hierarchy, and they have to serve themselves tea.
At this point, Qian was sure that Yu Ruiwen would invite her out, and then she could take out Yu Ruyi in front of everyone and prevent that bitch from becoming an equal wife.
Although the Marquis is as big as the sky to me, the emperor's order is even more difficult to disobey. With this jade Ruyi, it is not easy to capture Aunt Zhou.
"Mother, is this jade Ruyi so powerful?" Yu Yuxi was half-convinced. She borrowed the jade Ruyi this time because she didn't know its function accurately from what she heard before.
"It will definitely succeed. The jade Ruyi is the treasure inherited by Marquis Xuanping. Your grandmother passed over your father and gave it directly to your eldest brother. That means you don't believe your father. This jade Ruyi can also make your grandmother bow her head."
He clicked his tongue, his eyes becoming more intense and excited.
"Mom, this jade Ruyi belongs to the eldest brother. If the eldest brother knows, my mother will explain it." Yu Yuxi said calmly.
"I know that your eldest brother has always been filial. What do I mean? I just said that I asked him for it and he sent it here specially to prevent your father from marrying an equal wife again." Qian waved his hand disapprovingly and thought of it.
Let Aunt Zhou make a fool of herself at the banquet, and she will be in a good mood.
"Mother, maybe this jade is not as useful as you thought." Yu Yuxi couldn't see her self-righteous look, so she hit her specially.
"Will Prince Duan come?" Qian's face darkened and he asked.
"It will come." Yu Yuxi affirmed.
"That's good. As long as King Duan comes and the elders of the Yu clan are here, this jade Ruyi will be effective. Even if your father doesn't agree, you have to agree. The person who originally held the Jade Ruyi can propose a request to the royal family.
Request." Qian couldn't help but said with joy, the more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
Yu Yuxi's heart moved, and her eyes fell on Qian's body. Her eyes became hot: "Mother, can I let King Duan marry me as his royal concubine?"
"No!" Qian looked up at Yu Yuxi in shock and said flatly, holding Yu Ruyi tightly.
