"Thank you, my concubine, for me." Yu Xi said softly.
"Miss Yu, you are so polite. You and our concubine are biological sisters. My sisters say thank you or not. This time, Marquis Xuanping also wants to give our concubine a manor and shop. Although our concubine didn't ask for it, she still wanted to give it to her.
Thanks to all the masters of the Xuanpinghou Mansion, even if our empress enters Prince Duan's Mansion now, she will still be the daughter of the Yu family."
The mother-in-law smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes.
This was said very nicely, expressing Yu Ruiwen's great love for Yu Yuxi, and blocking those rumors outside that Yu Yuxi was not liked by his father.
Yu Xijiao smiled slightly: "What I said is that I have a lot of work to do."
The nun of Prince Duan's Mansion blinked her eyes, then blinked her eyes again, and found that Miss Yu San really didn't say anything about returning the gift, so she stopped waiting and left with a smile.
Aunt Xu sent the nanny outside the courtyard on behalf of Yu Xijiao.
"Mother Xu, I heard that the third girl in the house is at odds with our concubine?" After looking at no one around, the wife of Prince Duan asked the maids who had come to give gifts to stay outside the door, and she suddenly
Pulling Nanny Xu aside, she lowered her voice and asked.
"There is no such thing. The masters have a very good relationship." Naturally, Aunt Xu denied it.
"Really?" Auntie from Prince Duan's Mansion didn't believe it.
"Of course it's true. The girls in our house are all on good terms!" Aunt Xu insisted.
The nun in Prince Duan's Mansion looked at Aunt Xu suspiciously, then suddenly took out a purse from her arms and quietly stuffed it into Aunt Xu's hand.
"Mother Xu, I heard that the two girls in your family made a big fuss at Mrs. Hou's mourning hall that day. Isn't this true?"
Aunt Xu didn't take the purse and looked at the old woman in Prince Duan's Mansion suspiciously: "Aren't you from our second girl's side?"
"I..." The mother-in-law laughed dryly, "I am from Prince Duan's Mansion."
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang?" Nanny Xu asked sharply.
The mother-in-law hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Absolutely!"
"I don't believe it!" Aunt Xu pushed the purse back to the mother-in-law, "Who sent you here? Who asked you to inquire about the girl in our house?"
"I am really the mother-in-law of Prince Duan's Mansion. If it weren't for His Highness Prince Duan, would he be able to let me in?" The mother-in-law became anxious when she saw that Aunt Xu didn't believe it. She took Aunt Xu and walked a few more steps until she reached a tree.
Behind the tree, he came close to Nanny Xu's ear and lowered his voice and said, "I will follow Concubine Xu during this period."
So, he is Xu Anjiao’s person?
Aunt Xu said nothing but looked at the mother-in-law suspiciously.
"Really, Concubine Xu is just curious about the relationship in your family. She doesn't have any ill intentions. It may not be beneficial to you girls. They say... Concubine Yu and Miss Yu San have a bad relationship, and they also say that Concubine Yu and Marquis Xuanping are not on good terms.
The relationship with the government is also not good, but this time it doesn’t look like it..."
The mother-in-law's voice became lower and lower.
"The relationship between our masters is very good." Nanny Xu pushed her mother-in-law. As a loyal servant brought by Yu Xijiao from the south of the Yangtze River, of course she couldn't be bribed with just one pocket.
"I'm really... I'm just asking around. I don't want to do anything, and it won't be detrimental to Concubine Yu. I'm just a servant. Is it possible that I can do anything to Concubine Yu?" The old woman spread her hands and said anxiously.
, grabbed the lapel of Nanny Xu who was about to leave, "What happened at that time?"
"It's nothing, nothing at all!" Nanny Xu denied it, pushed the wife of the Prince's Palace hard, and said with a cold face, "Auntie, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first, you can do it yourself
."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The wife of Prince Duan's Mansion had no time to catch him this time, so she stamped her feet vigorously and helplessly waved away the maids who had come to give gifts.
When Aunt Xu saw the wife of Prince Duan leaving, she immediately went in to report.
After hearing what Nanny Xu said, Yu Xijiao suddenly smiled and said to herself: "Xu Anjiao's person!"
"Girl, this woman said she was from Concubine Xu, and I thought she might be from Concubine Yu. If she was from Concubine Yu, there would be no need for me to ask so clearly, and even ask such a topic." Aunt Xu
After thinking about it for a while, the woman looked very sneaky at that time, and her tone was full of inquiring information.
"Mother Xu, if someone from Concubine Xu comes to inquire about our house, what will happen if I find out?" Yu Xijiao leisurely wiped the hair from her temples and smiled.
"Of course I have to report it to the Marquis." Aunt Xu said.
"According to my father's temperament, he will not let me suffer this injustice. Now that Prince Duan is still with my eldest brother, my father will definitely ask Prince Duan about this matter in person." Yu Xijiao followed the trend.
Aunt Xu nodded, the Marquis was indeed so protective of his girl now.
"Prince Duan came to show his kindness today and gave so many gifts. Now that something has happened, it seems to be a minor incident. In fact, there is something about instigating the relationship between Concubine Yu and Marquis Xuanping. With Prince Duan being like this
What should we do if we value Concubine Yu?" Yu Xijiao continued to ask.
King Duan's behavior was also very strange. He actually valued Yu Yuxi to such an extent that he personally came to the door for Yu Yuxi. If this was rumored, Yu Yuxi would be extremely favored.
But if this is really the case, when Yu Yuxi was the concubine, she just shied away a few times on the surface. If she was really serious, even if she was as caring as she is now, she wouldn't be unable to fight for it.
If Prince Duan was so concerned at that time, he could even ask his grandmother for help. As long as her grandmother agrees and she comes forward, Yu Yuxi may not be unable to ascend to the position of concubine.
Thinking about it this way, I felt that there was something strange between Feng Lanxiu and Yu Yuxi...
Aunt Xu did not hesitate: "Of course I will go back to the palace to question this woman."
Yu Xijiao smiled softly, "Mom, please go down and help me send a return gift to Prince Duan. I'll give it to Yu Yuxi."
Yu Yuxi is much more scheming than Xu Anjiao. It makes no sense that Xu Anjiao's people can go into the Xuanping Hou Mansion to stir up trouble. Yu Yuxi knows nothing about it.
"Girl, do you want to return the gift?" Mingyue was surprised.
"Send it. Yu Yuxi has sent so many gifts. It would be rude if I didn't send them." Yu Xijiao said. In fact, she didn't intend to send them. The relationship between the two was already very tense, so why bother to act like one?
The look of deep sisterly love.
But now that Yu Yuxi has delivered it to her door, she accepts it...
Calculating the time, the palace would also send someone to inquire about what happened that day. Although she was able to leave the palace safely at that time, it did not mean that no one suspected her. After all, it was indeed a coincidence...
Aunt Xu sent the return gift to Yu Xianyi's yard.
I heard that it was Yu Xijiao's return gift, which was an unexpected surprise. Feng Lanxiu specially called Nanny Xu over and asked her a few words before letting her leave.
"After all, we are still sisters. Even if there were some misunderstandings before, they will always be over." Feng Lanxiu looked at the gift placed on the table. In fact, it was just a few pieces of brocade. It was really not as good as the one he sent, but at least the relationship was eased.
This is a sign that Feng Lanxiu is quite satisfied.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right." Yu Xianyi lowered his gaze and said.
He has been recovering from his injuries. He was seriously injured before, and his face is still pale. Although he can stand up, he is wearing a thick cloak, and he is supported by two servants when he walks. His physical condition is extremely bad.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. If you take good care of your health, you will be fine. After all, Your Majesty is still young and has practiced martial arts before." Feng Lanxiu comforted Yu Xianyi.
"Thank you very much, King Duan, for your kind words, but I'm afraid I won't be able to recover." Yu Xianyi said without energy, feeling as if his whole body was weak.
Feng Lanxiu suddenly felt that all the children of the Xuanping Hou Mansion seemed to be in poor health.
It seems that there is something wrong with the feng shui of Xuanpinghou Mansion.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be pessimistic. I have asked the imperial doctor before and said that it is only a matter of time before the Crown Prince's health is restored. Don't worry too much. If your Majesty needs any good medicinal materials, there are some in my palace. Your Majesty, just ask someone to come and get them.
"Feng Lanxiu said gently and authentically.
The good intentions are obvious.
I just talked to Yu Xianyi, and they all said nice things.
"Thank you, King Duan." Yu Xianyi sighed again.
"Although the prince's health is not in good condition, sometimes you can go out for a walk and relax. If your mood is better, your health will naturally be better." Feng Lanxiu invited, "The king will be getting married in a few days. Why don't you come over and take a look, the prince?"
, and take a breather by the way.”
"Thank you very much, Prince Duan, for your kindness, but...my body will not cause any trouble to His Highness, Prince Duan." Yu Xianyi politely declined.
"How can it cause trouble? If the prince is tired, he can go to Concubine Yu's place to rest. Ever since she married into Prince Duan's palace, Concubine Yu's health has been not good. Every time she thinks about her biological mother, she keeps crying and can't sleep well all night.
Before Concubine Yu got married, she had a good relationship with the Crown Prince's brother and sister. If the Crown Prince passes the palace, it happens that I can persuade Concubine Yu on my behalf."
Feng Lanxiu sincerely invites you again.
"This time, Marquis Xuanping wants to give the king the three villages and two shops left by Mrs. Hou. I asked Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu said that these were originally left by Mrs. Hou to you. She can't
Come on, although Mrs. Hou did not do well in some areas, she really has a loving motherly heart towards your brother and sister."
Feng Lanxiu sighed, quite sad.
Yu Xianyi lowered his head. When things happened repeatedly in the house before, he had not come back yet. So speaking of the previous disputes between the Yu sisters, it had no impact on him at all.
"Thank you, second sister, for your kindness, but I am like this now. I don't want anything or think about anything." Yu Xianyi smiled bitterly, "When I come back this time, everything seems to have changed, but I don't have the energy to ask more questions.
My second sister is in His Highness's house, if anything happens, please take care of Him."
Feng Lanxiu was quite satisfied with his attitude and reached out to pat Yu Xianyi on the shoulder: "There are many things in my daughter's family, so I don't need to worry about it. We men have always had to take care of this kind of inner court affairs, good or bad.
, we are all close relatives, even if there is a misunderstanding, just talk it over."
After saying that, he looked at the return gift on the table and said with a smile: "Look how good it is. The elder sister gives the gift and the younger sister returns the gift. If anything happens to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion in the future, if the brothers and sisters work together, what else can't be done?"
This is because the two sisters have broken the ice today, and they hinted to Yu Xianyi that they don't need to listen to Yu Xijiao. Even if they are biological sisters, this is just a backyard talk, and close relatives must be affectionate and affectionate.
"Your Highness is absolutely right." Yu Xianyi said weakly.
His attitude was not very affectionate, but he had been hit so hard, so it was normal to look like this.
Inside the house, Prince Duan and Yu Xianyi were talking, and outside the house, Aunt Xu and the wife of Prince Duan's Mansion got close to each other very naturally, and they said they were in love...
