Chapter 103: The Concubine Chooses the Concubine
Looking at the beautiful women around me who were dressed up, I probably knew the purpose of Concubine Xiao this time.
"Chu'er~ Come and sit on the side of the mother's side." The imperial concubine waved and looked at Wei Hechu with a smile.
Wei He Chu has seen all kinds of faces. Whenever he smiles like this, he is nothing more than asking for something or trying to pay attention to himself. The most important thing is that this matter must be approved by Wei He Chu.
Well, Wei Hechu also laughed and bent down to sit down. She just took a look at it patiently to see what the old woman wanted to make this time.
As soon as he was about to sit down, Wei Ling'er pushed herself aside, and said to Concubine Xiao with a smile and grotesque look, "Ling'er finally sat with the Empress. This time Ling'er will sit next to the Empress!"
Wei Hechu only felt that the imperial concubine's face was stiff, but Concubine Xiao was also a kind of person who had seen strong winds and waves. How could he think that Wei Ling'er's "cute" behavior touched his heart, so he had to smile with Ling'er and act smoothly.
"Princess Decheng is willing to sit next to me, which is my honor." He turned his head to look at the group of ladies beside him, and his eyes subconsciously moved to one of them, "You sit too."
"Chu'er, these are the families who have made contributions to the emperor in recent years. Zhang Yuanxiang, the eldest daughter of Grand Tutor Zhang, Guo Yang, the eldest daughter of the Inner Minister, and Wang Ruru, the daughter of the Wang family. Today, the mother asked them to come to the palace to have some tea with the palace."
This is the usual way of Zhaofei. I found a suitable time to invite a few noble ladies to come to the palace to have some tea. In name, I came to accompany the imperial concubine, but in fact it was a disguised drama about Zhaofei. Ling'er remembers that even Wei Yu Ranwei's wife came here like this.
Wei Ling'er saw that Wang Ruru was the most low-key among the three. The Wang family is a merchant. Has he made contributions in recent years?
"Empress, why is this Wang family here?"
Concubine Xiao’s face was normal, and she smiled calmly and replied decently, “This girl looks good when she smiles and has a pair of skillful hands who can draw. I like this little girl very much and sent someone to call her today.”
Concubine Xiao seemed to like this Wang family girl very much. Wei Linger lowered her head and sipped her tea and then reached out to grab a grape. She thought that Concubine Xiao valued her second brother's future so much that she would not really let her second brother marry such a Wang family girl. The final result would definitely be to choose one from the two powerful girls' homes. Alas, Wang Ruru is destined to become cannon fodder.
Wei Ling'er has always been like this, and she will gloat if she doesn't care about her.
He glanced at his second brother Wei Hechu next to him. He was sitting upright on the seat, drinking a sip of water from time to time like Wei Ling'er, and then listening to what Concubine Xiao said with an expression. Looking at his second brother, could he not know that this was a Hongmen banquet?
Wei Ling'er's head was swept by, and her second brother was stunned. This guy wouldn't be at this time.
While Concubine Xiao was having fun talking with the girls, she leaned over to Wei Hechu's ear, covered her mouth and shouted softly.
"Second brother...Second brother..." While speaking, he kept touching Wei Hechu's arm with his elbows.
Wei Hechu replied with a questioning expression, and at this moment, Wei Ling'er felt that her second brother's IQ had collapsed.
"Chu'er, what are you talking about with Princess Decheng?"
Wei Ling'er shuddered and turned around, lowered her head as if she had done something bad. She could only hear a low male voice coming from behind her ears.
"The child was discussing Miss Wang's family with the princess just now, and that Miss Wang's family is deeply in love with the people."
"Do you like Wang Ruru?" Xiao turned his head and asked Wei Hechu gracefully about his opinion. Only Wei Hechu saw Concubine Xiao's fierce face.
Wei Ling'er was also puzzled. If Wei Hechu had not had such good patience on weekdays, he would have been so troubled by the imperial concubine.
Why do you still say that he likes Wang Ruru today? Isn’t this asking for trouble?
"That's right." Looking at the embarrassing face of the imperial concubine, Wei Hechu smiled calmly, "I like Wang Ruru."
"Mother, the child has military affairs to deal with, so leave first."
After saying that, Wei Hechu turned around and was about to leave. He had just taken a few steps and turned around, "I remember that the princess seemed to have something to deal with. Don't the princess leave?"
Wei Ling'er sat down at the low place, and the second brother of his follower looked at He Chu in his voice. He stood there like a tall giant.
He looked at himself with a cold and serious look, and stood in front of him at a high risk.
"Yes, yes, I have something to deal with, I will leave first..." I followed Wei Hechu and left quickly.
How could Concubine Xiao not understand their thoughts?
Since my son looked down on those noble girls, he had to let him go.
He stood up slowly, "Let's get here today" turned around and ordered the little eunuch behind him, "Get the carriage and send the girls out."
Everyone lowered their eyes and bent their knees slightly, and said in unison, "Little woman sending her off to the Queen~"
Concubine Xiao walked a few steps and turned around. She glanced at Wang Ruru and sighed softly, "Wang Ruru, in the future, you can stay in Luan Chao to serve Your Highness day and night."
Wang Ruru "…..."
It was only a temporary solution to let Wang Ruru move into the Luan Dynasty. Concubine Xiao knew that Wei Hechu was violent and that if he fought with Wei Hechu head-on, both sides would be hurt, so Concubine Xiao would always respect Wei Hechu's decision.
She would do this, and it would not hinder his future ascend to the throne. Concubine Xiao secretly made up her mind in the cold palace to change her destiny. She spent most of her life trying hard to cultivate Wei Hechu, but in the end it was absolutely impossible to lose one of her gains. She could not let all the effort she had spent before was wasted.
Wei Ling'er followed Wei Hechu and walked straight into Luan Chao. She couldn't think of what her second brother would do, so she sat on Wei Hechu's bed and became a princess.
"Second brother, why did you send Wang Ruru to Luan Chao with your own hands? Don't you know Concubine Xiao's intention?"
The man who made His Highness angry was picking up a bamboo slip piled up on the table and ordered Muping to "go to make tea"
"I don't want to drink tea." Wei Ling'er frowned and looked at Wei Hechu, and acted coquettishly, "Second brother, why don't you understand..."
Wei Hechu said as she spoke, and smiled at Wei Ling'er, "I know you don't like drinking tea, so I only asked Moupingyu to make a cup."
"...Second brother, you are not stupid because the war is approaching, right..."
"Hmph, why don't I understand the Concubine's thoughts? She may be worried that I will die on the battlefield and want to leave a child." Wei Hechu walked to the bed with the bamboo slips, "Otherwise, how can she protect her future life."
"Look at why my second brother chose that Wang Ruru?" Wei Ling'er asked with her head tilted.
