Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

After dinner, Xiao Beichen put down his teacup and wanted to take Yuntang back to Qingfeng Palace. He didn't want to stay here anymore.

The four concubines all came up to him to talk, and their words all showed that they wanted to invite him to their palaces. The queen also had an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

So annoying!

There was also a group of younger ones who blamed him for only being able to talk about Taoism and practice, and they all held on to the junior master and refused to let him go.

The scene was a bit chaotic for a while, and even Yuntang, who was used to big scenes, couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand.

"We'll have lunch at Fatty's place tomorrow at noon, and at your place at night, Fei. If you want to go, we can go together tomorrow."

Yun Tang thought about it and looked at Xiao Ye again, reminding him: "Call your friends, and my brothers and sisters."

"My four sisters are pretty good-natured. They don't attend many banquets on weekdays and haven't seen any big occasions. I will take them out for more walks in the future."

The implication is that in the past, with Princess Kangning and Jiang Yingxue suppressing them, the second and third branches had been overshadowed and were ignored among the aristocratic families in the capital.

But when she returned to Beijing, she would naturally support the second and third wives and suppress the glory that the loving mother and daughter were so proud of.

"Okay, I'll send them an invitation when I get back, and send it to the Marquis' Mansion early tomorrow morning." Xiao Ye nodded quickly upon hearing this.

He had run his own mansion for some time and often entertained his friends, as well as their brothers or other young masters, in his mansion.

However, he had never invited a woman to his house as a guest. The reason was that although he was young, he still had to avoid suspicion, otherwise his father would be unhappy.

Of course, this rule does not apply to his maternal grandfather, Duke Yue’s family. His grandmother, aunt, and cousins ​​can come to his house directly without a post.

This is the advantage of setting up a mansion outside the palace. Having your own mansion means you have your own symbol and territory, making it easier for relatives to visit each other.

Unlike his mother, Consort Zhang, who could only see her maternal family members once a month in her own palace.

Here, Xiao Ye was happily thinking about tomorrow's arrangements.

After receiving a positive response from his junior master's uncle yesterday, he returned home in the afternoon and arranged for people to prepare for tomorrow's banquet.

So it’s not too hasty.

Over there, Xiao Fei had secured the opportunity to invite Junior Master Uncle to dinner, and he was very happy. He was thinking about how to organize the dinner so that he wouldn't lose to the advantage of the lunch party hosted by the third brother.

But no one asked Junior Master Uncle why he didn't go to Xiao Ye tomorrow and then go to Xiao Fei the day after tomorrow, so that there would be no rush.

Concubine Liu Shufei wanted to secure a luncheon for her son the day after tomorrow, so that it would be less rushed and more grand.

But she was one of the four concubines in the harem, and her son was made king at an early age, but she knew in her heart that in front of the emperor's fellow apprentices, she was still just the emperor's concubine.

A senior brother’s concubine couldn’t even get the title of senior brother’s sister-in-law in front of Yuntang, so how could she dare to ask for it rashly?

Don’t be like the Queen who just tried to gain benefits for the Prince but ended up getting humiliated. She is not that stupid!

Anyway, her Prince Qi benefited the most from tonight's family dinner, so she was already satisfied and would not create any more trouble.

Finally, Concubine Liu was the first to bow to the Emperor and Empress and leave.

The other three were Concubine Zhang, Concubine Yang, and Concubine Zhou. Seeing this, they had no choice but to take their leave.

Looking at this situation, it is obvious that it is impossible for the emperor to visit their palace.

In fact, in the past ten years, the emperor had visited the harem less than once a month to see them.

Moreover, the news they had heard privately confirmed that the emperor had not been interested in women for the past ten years and had not stayed in any of their palaces.

The same is true for the Queen.

This discovery also made them less eager to compete for favor, and they simply lived their lives with their children.

As they left, Princess Mingyue also left after saying that she wanted to visit her second and third brothers' houses tomorrow.

Even Princess Mingyue was going, so the three little ones naturally wouldn't miss it. They even clamored to go out of the palace with their junior master-master.

After getting Yuntang's consent, they skipped back to their own palace.

The palaces of the four princesses are all close to each other, making it convenient for them to get along with each other.

The palaces of the four concubines were later readjusted to avoid being too far or too remote, and to make it convenient for them to visit on weekdays.

Therefore, it is not difficult to find out whether the emperor has entered the harem or whose palace he has visited, and there is no need to place spies.

After they all left, the emperor looked at Xiao Jian and Xiao Hong, who were holding onto their junior master's hands and refused to let go, and Xiao Ye, who was busy trying to pry their hands apart.

"Forget it, since you still want to play with Junior Master, then go to Qingfeng Hall."

"It's been a while since I asked you about your studies. Let's see if you have made any progress in these days!"

Xiao Jian...

Xiao Hong...

Xiao Ye, who had just pried the two little brats' hands apart, glared at them with a look of frustration.

It’s all because of these two guys who had to compete for favor. Now they’re being targeted by the emperor. Are you satisfied?

Seeing the three of them glaring at each other and none of them willing to admit their own problems, Xiao Fei glanced at his eldest brother standing next to him, with a playful smile in his eyes.

Today, after attending court, my elder brother returned to the imperial study and complained to him about the cunning of the court officials. He has been reviewing memorials for almost two years, so naturally he felt the same way.

The two brothers prepared a table of wine and food in the warm room next to the imperial study, and while eating they cursed the boring power struggles among the court officials.

As princes, they don't fight or quarrel, so why do these court officials fight? It's just boring.

But in the end, they sighed for their own hard work and envied the three younger ones who could enjoy a carefree and leisurely life.

Now, seeing the three little ones being monitored by their father about their homework, he felt a lot more relieved.

Just as everyone was about to leave, the queen hurried forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Xiao Beichen looked at her calmly: "What's the matter?"

"I wanted to say it just now, but then I thought it wasn't appropriate to say it then, so now..."

As the Queen spoke, she glanced at Xiao Che who was talking to his brothers not far away and started discussing in a low voice.

"I learned at noon that Che'er was arranged by the Emperor to attend court." She did not dare to directly mention the matter of the Crown Prince being regent, and her wording was much more tactful and cautious.

"I know this is the path Che'er wants to take, so I dare not make any rash comments. However, as a mother, I should help him find a Crown Princess."

"Today the snow fell heavily all day and stopped only in the evening. The plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are perfect for viewing these two days."

"I would like to hold a winter banquet and invite some noble ladies from aristocratic families to the palace to enjoy the flowers. Your Majesty, do you think the timing is right?"

"There is also a candidate..."

The queen paused here and was about to say that there were two girls of marriageable age in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, her elder brother's youngest daughter and her younger brother's eldest daughter.

If the Crown Princess came from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it would also be a good story.

That year, the emperor returned to Beijing and was named the crown prince.

The Crown Princess was none other than the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's family. Two years later, when the Emperor ascended the throne, she became the Empress.

Now it was her eldest son's turn to marry the Crown Princess, and she wanted to strengthen the relationship.
