The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(211)

Chapter 161

The Xiao family came in a hurry and didn't even bother with breakfast, so they simply asked the girl to put breakfast on the table and the whole family sat around and had a meal.

After eating, I went to see Brother Yan and Zhuzhu before they dispersed.

Second Master Xiao and Second Mistress walked to their residence together. Second Mistress Sun looked at her husband hesitantly.

Without her opening her mouth, Mr. Xiao knew what she wanted to say. He glanced at her with a pair of tiger eyes: "Let me say hello to you in advance. I am a girl named Rou'er. When she is wronged, it is me who is wronged. You usually You are petty and like to argue with your sister-in-law. That is a matter between you and your sister-in-law. My eldest brother and I know it well and it will not hurt the feelings between brothers. Now that Rou'er has returned to her parents' home, she is a foreigner in name. No one in the family treats her like a foreigner. If you use your method to deal with her and say something unpleasant in front of her, don't blame me for being disrespectful. "

These words made the second grandma look embarrassed and said very unhappily: "What do you think of me? You and your eldest brother are usually busy outside, and my eldest sister-in-law and I have nothing to do, and our teeth and tongues are fighting. You See how often I quarreled with my sister-in-law. Rou'er is your sister, so she is naturally my sister, so I will definitely treat her well."

"That's for the best."

In fact, Mr. Xiao knew that the reason his sister-in-law and his wife couldn't quarrel was because each other's men were in charge. Just as the second grandma said, when teeth and tongues are fighting, women are very small-minded. They stay under the same roof all day long, and it is inevitable to touch your nose and my eyes.

The old couple of the Xiao family also know it in their hearts, but they don't know it. Uncle Xiao and Erye Xiao both value the relationship between brothers, and the small conflicts in the woman's family cannot affect the relationship between the two.

"You just like to slander me." Second Grandma felt aggrieved.

Although Mr. Xiao is a rough man, he understands how husband and wife get along. He has watched many love scenes between parents since he was a child, so he naturally understands the truth.

He is the only one in the Xiao family who does not look like the Xiao family, but follows his grandfather and is also Mrs. Xiao's biological father. He has a rugged appearance, is tall, and has a resolute appearance. He looks like a tough guy at first glance. But the second grandma is petite, exquisite and pretty.

Second Master Xiao stretched out his strong arm, put his arm around Second Grandma's shoulders, and hugged her over: "You know the situation of our family well. My father is strict with himself, upright and honest. Although my mother has a large dowry, but that It's my mother's body, she gave it to us, and we don't care about it. Our family only has so much inheritance from our ancestors. Even if we separate in the future, most of it will belong to the eldest brother. But don't worry, the man has his ambitions in all directions. , You should make great achievements and be given the title of wife and son, and I will never let you endure hardship."

Men are so worried about each other, how can the Second Mistress still care about her own pettiness, especially if she doesn’t love the manliness of the Second Master? She immediately leaned on the Second Master Xiao’s chest and said: "Brother Kun, no matter how ignorant I am, You won’t be ignorant here. Don’t worry, I will treat my sister well.”

"Just be good."

The same topic was repeated between Uncle Xiao and Grandma.

However, compared to Mr. Xiao's rough words and deeds, Mr. Xiao is obviously a reserved person.

He did not point out the matter directly, but gave detailed instructions to Liu Qixuan's girl and woman's arrangements, including everything from food and clothing to accommodation.

As soon as she heard such words, the grandmother naturally swallowed the words in her throat.

In fact, she didn't dislike her sister-in-law living at home, but her identity was different after all. Her uncle was a prince and a prince, so she reconciled with the prince. This had never happened since the founding of the Qian Dynasty.

Especially when you have two children, how can you reconcile?

But everyone from her parents-in-law to her husband's brother-in-law gave full support, so naturally she didn't dare to say any more. I originally planned to make a plan with my siblings and persuade my sister-in-law, but who knew that if the second grandma didn't pick up the fight, it would naturally not go forward. Of course this is a story for later.

On the third day after Princess Qing returned to her parents' home, Prince Qing came.

I didn't ask anyone to arrange the carriage, I came alone on horseback.

The news was not sent to Liu Qixuan, but to the first and second bedrooms first. Mr. Xiao, always a man of action, immediately blocked Prince Qing in the concierge and beat him severely.

"Regardless of the fact that you are a prince, I will beat you up if I want!" Seeing that the second master came up and beat everyone, even the uncle, the two boys in the porter were scared and ran away. Mr. Xiao waved his fist again and then cursed bitterly.

Prince Qing didn't fight back, he was a bit miserable, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

After being beaten, he asked his second uncle: "Second brother, please let me see Jirou."

"Bah, I'm not your second uncle. Have you forgotten how you promised me in the first place? Before you and Rou'er got married, my eldest brother and I came to tell you specifically that if you can't be sincere If you sincerely treat her well, don’t marry a girl from my Xiao family, what’s your answer?”

He said that he would definitely be good to Jirou, hold her as his treasure, and only be good to her for the rest of his life.

But he didn't do it!

Why didn't it happen? Prince Qing is still in a daze.

It is inevitable for a prince to have women around him, even after his wedding, his father rewarded him with a few. But he has never touched any of them. In his heart, he only cares about Jirou, and he can't look at others.

He only has Jirou in his heart now, but why did he run away and why did he have to make peace with him?

Prince Qing has been thinking about this issue for the past two days. He couldn't figure it out, so he came to Xiao's house in a daze.

He only had one thought, which was to ask Jirou to forgive him.

"Second brother, it doesn't matter if you scold me or hit me. All I ask is that you let me see Jirou."

Mr. Xiao sneered: "Let you see her, and let you continue to hurt her? You can just carry your Korean cousin there. My Xiao family can still support a few people."

After saying that, Mr. Xiao pushed him out of the concierge and slammed the door hard.

Prince Qing looked at the closed door in front of him and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He didn't dare to stay longer, knowing in his heart that his status was unusual and he might attract attention. If the matter were brought to the attention of his father and caused trouble to the Xiao family, he would never be able to save Jirou.

When King Qing returned to his mansion, he locked himself in the study.

He came here in the study these two days and saw no one, including Concubine Han.

Concubine Han came twice but was blocked from the study. Today she heard that Prince Qing had returned with an injury on his face, so she came to the study again.

King Qing was so drunk that wine jars were scattered everywhere on the ground. If the servants came in to clean up, they would be scolded and sent away by him. These wine jars were saved in the past few days, which is enough to show how much wine King Qing drank.

Concubine Han walked in. The room was dimly lit, and she almost tripped over the wine jar on the floor. After finally regaining his balance, he saw a person falling at the corner of the table.

It is King Qing.

Prince Qing looked miserable, with a bruised nose and swollen face. He lay drunk on the ground, his whole body filled with the smell of alcohol.

Concubine Han came closer and was about to help him, but she didn't know that Prince Qing was still conscious and stretched out his hand to push her away.

Prince Qing opened his drunken eyes and looked at her: "What are you doing here? Get out!"

"Cousin, you can't do this, you'll hurt your body. I'll help you up, but don't lie on the ground."

"Go, get away, get out!"

"Cousin..." Concubine Han cried, feeling very pitiful: "Even if you hate me and don't want to see me anymore, don't play with your own body. How can you bear lying on the ground in such a cold day?" Come on. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you. In fact, I didn't mean to, but you kept ignoring me. I was afraid that you would forget me and dislike me, so I lied to you... …

"I have no relatives or friends in Daqian, and I don't even have anyone to talk to... Every time I enter the palace, I don't dare to speak, for fear of arousing disgust. When I go to various houses, the princesses and their wives They all seemed to be smiling at me, but in fact they didn’t see me at all... I know why, because I am from Korea, not from Dagan...

"They are both concubines. Look at Concubine Su. She is proud of herself in front of His Majesty and the Queen. The princess is also on good terms with her. When others mention her, they are envious. When they mention me... no, no one mentions me. Something they don’t even want to mention..."

Prince Qing listened in a daze. It was different from the past. Every time he heard these words before, he always felt touched, but now he felt disgusted.

Very disgusted.

I didn’t want to hear it, I wanted to cover my ears.

"Stop talking and get out!"

"cousin……"

"It's all you. If it weren't for you, Jirou wouldn't have left!" Prince Qing suddenly became emotionally excited and shouted randomly, "I shouldn't have been soft-hearted to you, I should have sent you away long ago. Jirou is right, I am a coward, I am a coward, I am always trapped in the past and cannot get out, I should send you away..."

Concubine Han felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She never expected that King Qing would have such thoughts. She was filled with aggrievedness, grief and anger, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

However, she still stepped forward to help King Qing, hoping to get his forgiveness. While the two were tugging, something fell from King Qing's arms. Her eyes flashed, and she reached out and put the thing into her sleeves without warning.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, but it was Fuxi, the manager.

As soon as he saw Concubine Han, he shouted, "Concubine Concubine, why are you here? You see that His Highness has been feeling uneasy these past two days. Alas, please don't cause any trouble."

Concubine Han wanted to say something, but Fuxi gave her a look, and she immediately stopped talking.

When I walked outside, I heard Prince Qing saying to Fuxi: "Don't let her in again, I don't want to see her..."

Fuxi said: "Xiao Tianzi went to the court room. It was an old slave who was not favored by others. This kind of thing will definitely not happen in the future..."
