A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Song Wanwan was very satisfied with Tinghe's reaction. This is how those snobs in the palace should be treated.

After serving a noble for a long time, I actually regarded myself as the noble.

Ting He respectfully led the two of them to the side hall of Zhaohua Palace. When they entered, Concubine Xian was already sitting in the main seat.

The two of them paid their respects to Concubine Xian. Su Zhilan was more polite in her performance, but Song Wanwan was more perfunctory.

"Give Princess Anping and Miss Song a seat." Concubine Xian said gently.

Su Zhilan glanced around, but didn't see the young lady from the Leng family. Didn't she say she was coming to see her aunt when she was at the palace gate?

After hearing the virtuous concubine invite them to sit down, Su Zhilan and Song Wanwan thanked her together.

After sitting down, Su Zhilan looked up at Concubine Xian. The woman was in her thirties, but her skin was still fair and there were no wrinkles around her eyes. Compared to the young concubines in the palace, she was not as gorgeous, but she had a different kind of charm.

Concubine Xian then ordered Ting He: "Serve tea to the two young ladies, and bring two bowls of the freshly made rose cheese this morning."

After giving the order, he smiled and explained to Song Wanwan and Su Zhilan, "The rose cheese in my palace can nourish your skin. You can have a bowl of it. If you think it's good, I'll have someone write down the recipe and you can ask the people below to make it when you go back."

Song Wanwan and Su Zhilan didn't say much, just thanked politely.

Su Zhilan wondered in her heart, why did the virtuous concubine summon her?

Song Wanwan was extremely alert and didn't dare to be distracted at all. It seemed that protecting Su Zhilan was her responsibility today.

Soon, the palace servants served tea and brought in rose cheese. But Su Zhilan and Song Wanwan did not touch anything. They did not dare to eat the food in the palace of Concubine Xian.

The virtuous concubine did not persuade him much, but just said casually: "Today, I invite Princess Anping to come here. There is nothing else to do, just to talk about personal matters."

"This palace and the late queen are like sisters. I look at Prince Gong and you as if you were my own children."

Anyone who believes such polite words in the palace is a fool.

Su Zhilan bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam."

Another quarter of an hour passed, and when Concubine Xian had finished her polite words, she ordered someone to bring over the brocade box beside her, then she stood up and walked over to the two of them.

Seeing this, Song Wanwan and Su Zhilan stood up without knowing why.

The virtuous concubine smiled gently and appropriately, and looked at the two of them as if they were her own juniors.

Afterwards, Concubine Xian took out an exquisite bracelet and put it on Song Wanwan's hand.

"Today is the first day of the new year. This is my New Year gift to you."

Song Wanwan did not refuse and bowed to thank the virtuous concubine for the reward.

When she got close to Su Zhilan, Concubine Xian took out a gilded emerald-emerald phoenix-head hairpin.

"The year I entered the palace, the former queen was still the princess consort. This was the reward she gave me when I served her tea and changed my name."

Su Zhilan quickly stepped back and said, "My Lady, this is too expensive."

The virtuous concubine did not allow her to refuse and helped her put it on her head.

"This hairpin is just right for you."

After the New Year gifts were delivered, Concubine Xian said, "I will not keep you any longer. The banquet is about to begin and I have to change my clothes."

Su Zhilan and Song Wanwan left Zhaohua Palace full of doubts.

Outside Zhaohua Palace, Su Zhilan asked in confusion, "Sister Wanwan, what do you think the Concubine Xian is going to do? She's not going to put drugs in the jewelry that was given to her as a reward, is she?"

Song Wanwan looked at the bracelet on her hand, then carefully looked at the phoenix-head hairpin on Su Zhilan's head, and even smelled it, but did not find anything unusual.

After putting the hairpin on Su Zhilan again, Song Wanwan said, "You can just wear it to get by in the palace today. When you go back, just throw it into your dressing box."

If they don't wear the things that the Empress Xianfei has just given them, they are afraid that the Empress Xianfei will ask about it at the banquet.

Inside Zhaohua Palace, Song Wanwan and Su Zhilan left the yard, and Leng Zichan also came out from behind.

"Aunt, you are too kind. In my opinion, we should teach them a lesson and teach the Song and Su families a lesson."

Leng Zichan spoke in a coquettish tone, stood behind Concubine Xian and began to massage her shoulders.

The third young lady of the Leng family is the legitimate daughter of the eldest branch of the Leng family. Her father, Leng Shuo, is a second-rank Left Censor-in-Chief. In recent years, he has temporarily stayed away from the power center of the capital because of mourning.

A few months ago, after the Leng family's mourning period ended, Leng Shuo returned to the Censorate. But it would take time for him to take full control of the government.

Leng Zichan also delayed her marriage because of mourning. Later, Concubine Xian arranged a marriage with the Rong family, but she didn't expect that Song Hongshen would also mess up the marriage.

Of course, Leng Zichan hoped that this marriage would be over, because the person she loved was the Crown Prince.

The virtuous concubine did not pay attention to Leng Zichan's words, but squinted her eyes and thought about the banquet for a while.

A few years ago, the Emperor received a military report from Fujian, saying that the construction of the warship was going smoothly and that it was about to be tested.

King Xuanwu Zhang Pan also wrote a letter to praise Su Zhilan, saying that the combination of weapons and warships designed by Su Zhilan greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the southeastern navy.

At that time, the emperor told her that Song Hongshen's marriage was a good one. Such a virtuous wife was also a blessing for the royal family.

So she specially rewarded Su Zhilan today, also for the emperor to see.

The emperor's heart is now filled with Song Hongshen, and he doesn't care as much about them as before. She doesn't ask to win the emperor's heart, but only asks that the emperor not find fault with her.

In response to Leng Zichan's words, Concubine Xian just perfunctorily said, "You have to find the right opportunity to teach someone a lesson."

Ting He, the senior maidservant beside Concubine Xian, also echoed, "Your Majesty is of such high status that she would not embarrass a junior. If the news of this matter spreads to Qianyang Palace today, His Majesty will also praise Your Majesty for her gentleness and virtue."

Listen to the words, Leng Zichan's heart moved when she heard it. What does her aunt mean by this?

Was it because it was not the right time to teach someone a lesson? Or was it because it was not appropriate for an aunt of her status to argue with two little girls?

Is this for her to hear?

Her mind raced, and she gradually came up with an idea.

"Why haven't I seen my cousin the Crown Prince? Chan'er hasn't seen her for a long time." Leng Zichan said again.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian casually said, "Your cousin has been in a state of anxiety these days, so don't bother him."

Then he whispered, "It's time to decide on the Crown Princess."

The latter sentence was entirely spoken by the virtuous concubine to herself, but to Leng Zichan, it sounded like a hint from her aunt.

"The palace banquet is almost here, Chan Erxian please leave." Leng Zichan said respectfully.

Concubine Xian nodded and signaled Tinghe to send her out.

When they were leaving, Leng Zichan asked Tinghe quietly, "Aunt doesn't want to see the princess of Prince Gong at the palace banquet, right?"

Ting He didn't think much about it and nodded, "That's right, but the queen can't do anything about it."

Leng Zichan seemed to understand what was going on, and walked out of Zhaohua Palace and towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony, looking around as she walked.

He didn't see Song Wanwan and Su Zhilan, whom he wanted to see, but when he was almost reaching the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he met Rong Jin, the sixth lady of the Rong family.

Before Leng Zichan went into mourning, the two were close friends. Although the marriage between the two families did not take place, it did not affect their relationship.

After they met and exchanged a few private words, Rong Jin asked, "Are you from the palace of the Concubine Xian? Among all the young ladies of the Leng family, you are the most favored by the Concubine Xian."

This is not flattery. Among the young ladies of the Leng family, Concubine Xian is indeed the best to Leng Zichan.

Rong Jin said jokingly, "I think it would be better if you just married the Crown Prince. Wouldn't it be better if they were closer relatives?"

Leng Zichan smiled shyly, and when she looked up, she suddenly saw Su Zhilan not far away.

At this time, Su Zhilan was standing with her back to the two of them, with a little maid beside her.

Leng Zichan saw that Song Wanwan was not there, and she had the idea of ​​teaching Su Zhilan a lesson. At least she had to suffer a little and not be able to attend the palace banquet.

When Rong Jin saw her looking at Su Zhilan, he said unhappily, "The fifth young lady of the Su family is now very successful in the capital. She is the same as Song Wanwan, both are seductive women."
