Pick all the cold branches

He suddenly knew who the second person His Highness wanted him to meet was.

"Your Highness... the golden face of the princess, why are the foreign ministers so casual... I, anyway, I'll go first—" He panicked, even he didn't know why, he stood up and wanted to leave but couldn't see the direction at all Almost tripping over himself.

"Where do you want to go, 'Princess' and 'Foreign Minister'? Don't go." Seeing this, Jia Fei immediately put down his son, grabbed him back and pressed him firmly into the chair.

Zhen Xian was almost terrified, but seeing Jia Fei's frown, he was even more speechless.What's more, the injury on his body is still not healed, even if he is healed, his strength is not enough to defeat His Highness Prince Jing.

The wet nurse just picked up Xiao Shizi, and the person who told Zhen Xian to escape had already arrived at the door.

It was a young woman with very dignified eyebrows and eyes, which could even be called "luxury", and she was only in her early twenties, especially the eyes under the curved eyebrows, which were radiant and bright, with a touch of rouge Red lips, really looks like a peony.Holding a round fan in her hand, half covering her face, she silently saluted Jiafei in front of the door.After Jiafei nodded to signal her to come in, he stepped forward, saluted and greeted softly: "The prince is back."

That voice is really like a new warbler.

As soon as he heard this voice, Zhen Xian was terrified, instinctively pulled himself up, lowered his head and put his hands together to salute the woman, and said in his mouth: "Zhen Xian pays homage to the princess."

Unexpectedly, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then she covered her face and smiled.

"My lord Zhen, please stop making fun of me. I have been accepted by the lord as his concubine, but I dare not covet the position of the lord concubine. My lord is the lord's vassal and the pillar of the country. It's up to Mrs. Cui to salute to my lord." .”

In turn, she bowed respectfully and specially to Zhen Xian.

Zhen Xian stared at her blankly, but gradually understood in her heart.

Although this woman is the mother of Prince Jing's son, she is not Princess Jing, but the concubine of His Highness Prince Jing.

But Jing Wang Jiafei has no real wife so far, and this Mrs. Cui has already given birth to a son for Wang Jia, so it stands to reason that she should be given the title to match the birth mother of the son.

Zhen Xian couldn't help but look at Mrs. Cui one more time.Now that I looked closely again, I realized that her dress was so simple that it was in contrast to her noble face: there was only a piece of gold hairpin inlaid with silk and beads on the black cloud bun, and she was wearing a light yellow jacket and a green pleated skirt. There are not many complicated embroidery patterns on the top, but only some flower patterns on the piping.Although the pearls on the golden hairpin were indeed the best pearls, and the fabric used to weave the dress was also the finest silk and satin, but as the concubine Ji of the prince, her attire was still extremely low-key.Judging by her speech and behavior, she is also very decent and harmonious, obviously she is a very transparent woman who knows the general principles of etiquette.

The Holy Dynasty didn't care about their births when they selected concubines for the emperor and princes, so there was nothing wrong with such a woman even if she was registered as Concubine Jing.What's more, with Mrs. Cui's bearing, she must not be a vulgar woman from a small family.His Highness treated her like this, it was too merciless.

A burst of indescribable complex emotions suddenly flashed through my heart, as if I was stabbed by something sharp, and I was so depressed that I almost bleed.

He was at a loss as to what he was thinking about.Do you think His Highness is too cruel to Mrs. Cui, or are you simply jealous that such a woman can justly stay by His Highness's side and bear children for His Highness, even if she is only a concubine...

Fortunately, he was still unbearably troubled just now and wanted His Royal Highness to stop fussing with him.It turned out that he was not much better than the Fourth Highness.

Zhen Xian bit his lip involuntarily.

Jia Fei talked with Mrs. Cui, talking about things when he was not in the palace, Zhen Xian was like a light on his back, and couldn't listen to a word at all.

He didn't even know when Mrs. Cui and Xiao Shizi left.

When he came back to his senses, there was only one person left in the room, Prince Jing, looking at him helplessly.

"What expression do you have? You were the one who told me about 'you must marry a wife and have children' and 'continue the bloodline of the Tian family'. Now that I have done it, I want you to know, why do you have such a face? What on earth do you have?" What do you want from me?" His Highness frowned, his face full of confusion.

Zhen Xian stared at him for a long time, but was speechless and could only remain silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Jiafei added an explanation: "Ah Cui doesn't care. She lives well every day. No one treats her badly."

This statement made Zhen Xian's heart ache, and he couldn't help saying: "But she is the mother of the son after all."

"So what?" Jia Fei slightly raised his eyebrows.

That look like he couldn't understand what the hell he was saying.

"Your Highness, you..." Zhen Xian was at a loss for words.

Even the heart is blocked.

He thought for a while, but he really didn't know what to say to His Highness Prince Jing, what else to say, how to say it, so he simply stood up and walked out sullenly.

"Xiaoxian! Xiaoxian, listen to me—" Jia Fei strode forward and grabbed him.

"Don't say it. Your Highness, don't say it." He desperately pushed Jia Fei's hand away, and rushed out the door, but was stunned.

He didn't know where else he could go right now.

He had sworn that he would never leave His Highness so easily again.

In the blink of an eye, he just stayed in Prince Jing's mansion for half a month.

Jiafei arranged for him very well, every day the imperial doctor came to diagnose and treat his injuries, and someone took care of his daily necessities so meticulously that he was almost ashamed.He also didn't have to face to face with His Highness the Fourth Highness who couldn't help but utter a few harsh words whenever he saw him. Apart from lying down and recuperating every day, he just sat and read a book.

The days suddenly became so leisurely, as if there was nothing to worry about, which even made him feel terribly empty.

The only embarrassing thing was that he suddenly didn't know how to speak to His Highness, or even what expression to use.

Jia Fei would visit him every day and say some meaningless gossip, and he would respond politely, as if a wall had suddenly been added between the two of them, alienated like strangers.

He didn't really want to.

His Highness asked him that day, "What do you want from me?" was like a thorn in the bottom of my heart.

Your Highness said nothing wrong.

Thinking that His Highness, as a prince, may become the emperor in the future, it is absolutely impossible not to appoint a virtuous daughter as a concubine to give birth to an emperor's heir. It is indeed himself who used this as an excuse to push His Highness away again and again.

So His Highness really accepted Mrs. Cui and Xiao Shizi, but he suddenly became awkward again, unable to accept it in every possible way.It's ridiculous.

What right does he have for not accepting it?

On the contrary, if His Highness has wronged Mrs. Cui, it is all his fault.It was his existence, words and deeds that brought Mrs. Cui into such a situation.What position does he have to blame and preach His Highness?No wonder Captain Tong was also angrily when he saw him.He is truly guilty.

Zhen Xian sat on the stone bench in the garden depressed.The page in front of me has been read for a long time and I have not been able to turn the page.

He lay down on the table depressed and sighed.

Suddenly, there were footsteps in my ears.

Zhen Xian looked up subconsciously, and saw Mrs. Cui leading Xiao Shizi, a wet nurse and two maidservants coming from a distance.
