Chapter 66
Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

An Xue walked into the Nuan Pavilion, bowed and said: "Miss, the second lady has come to Jinxiu Pavilion."

Xiao Jinxi, who was reading a book with her head down, raised her head in surprise: "Zhao Zhishan?"

An Xue replied: "Yes, Miss. The Second Madam said she wanted to tell you something, and said that you would be interested."

"Oh!" Xiao Jinxi smiled slightly, and said one by one: "Second lady, please."

"Yes, Miss." Hearing this, An Xue bowed and retreated.

After a while, I saw the second wife, Zhao Zhishan, slowly walk into the warm pavilion, bowed and said: "Miss."

Xiao Jinxi smiled slightly: "Second Madam, please sit down."

"Miss Xie." Zhao Zhishan bowed again and saluted, then walked to the side seat and sat down.

"Second Madam, you have never been to my Jinxiu Pavilion, so I don't know what's going on today?" Xiao Jinxi said with a slight smile.

"When I came to Jinxiu Pavilion today, I did two things." Zhao Zhishan said slowly.

Xiao Jinxi looked at Zhao Zhishan and listened quietly.

I only heard Zhao Zhishan continue to say: "The first thing, I am here to solemnly thank the young lady for helping Xuan'er that day." Zhao Zhishan bowed again to perform the ceremony.

"Second Madam, you're being polite. Xuan'er is my younger sister, and I should protect her." Xiao Jinxi said softly.

Zhao Zhishan smiled lightly when she heard the words: "Yes, Xuan'er is always the big sister, and the big sister calls. In her heart, the big sister is more important than my mother."

"Miss, do you know when this started?" Zhao Zhishan asked suddenly.

For a moment, Xiao Jinxi looked at Zhao Zhishan suspiciously. In her memory, Xuan'er always called her big sister, but she didn't know when she started to value her: "Jinxi is stupid, so please ask the second lady for advice."

"Miss, you are welcome." At this moment, Zhao Zhishan's memory returned to a long time ago... "It was when Xuan'er was five years old, and on her birthday that year, her mother gave Xuan'er a baby horse as a birthday present. But Xuan'er was very happy, and after a while, Xuan'er also learned to ride a horse, and she would go to the school grounds to ride that horse every day."

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi seems to have remembered something. That year, Xuan'er fell off the horse...

Only Zhao Zhishan said slowly: "That day, I accompanied Xuan'er to the school field to ride a horse. But something happened to the horse that day, and it took Xuan'er to run wildly. At that time, I was terrified. The guards chased the horse together, seeing that Xuan'er was about to be thrown off the horse, at this time, the eldest lady appeared, caught up with the horse, and caught Xuan'er the moment Xuan'er was thrown off the horse. "

"At that time, the eldest lady held Xuan'er on the sandy ground for a long distance before stopping. When we caught up, we saw that the eldest lady was tightly protecting Xuan'er in her arms."

"The eldest lady's face was covered with scratches, and there were even big scratches on her arm and left leg. Your dress was stained with blood. But when I checked Xuan'er, I found that Xuan'er was intact. There is no injury, the blood on the clothes belongs to the eldest lady."

"That day, Xuan'er was so scared that she cried so much when she saw so much blood. After the injury that day, the eldest lady was recuperating in Fu'an Hall. It took half a month to recover, and Xuan'er also went to Fu'an Hall every day. Run. In those days when the eldest lady was injured, Xuan'er cried every night in her dreams: Big sister, young lady is bleeding, is the eldest sister still in pain..., sometimes even woke up crying. Wait until the eldest lady is on her body After her injury gradually recovered, Xuan'er gradually stopped having nightmares."

"Since that year, the eldest sister has been different in Xuan'er's heart. She is more important than father, mother, grandmother, and elder brother."

Zhao Zhishan stood up and bowed again to perform the ceremony: "My concubine once again thanked Miss for saving Xuan'er's life back then."

Xiao Jinxi smiled slightly, and said: "Second Madam, there is no need to be polite. It has been a long time ago, so there is no need to worry about it." In fact, at that time, I also liked riding horses, wielding knives and guns, and I was often injured. The injury was a bit serious, but I didn't particularly care about it.

I saw Zhao Zhishan sat down, and continued: "I came here today, the second thing is to tell the young miss the truth that I have always wanted to know."

Xiao Jinxi smiled slightly and asked, "Second Madam, what do you mean?"

Zhao Zhishan looked at Xiao Jinxi, and said calmly: "That's right, I am my father's eyeliner in the Hou's mansion for the emperor."

Xiao Jinxi's eyes narrowed: "Second Madam is honest."

I only heard Zhao Zhishan continue to say: "Because only in this way can I marry the man I'm thinking of."

At this moment, Zhao Zhishan turned her head to look out the window, as if she was looking at herself back then: "I was only 19 years old that year, and I followed my mother back to my hometown to visit relatives. Because I left late, I wanted to go home before closing the city gate, so I I took a short cut, but unexpectedly encountered gangsters, but fortunately, at a critical moment, I met Hou Ye who was returning to Beijing to report on his duties, and Fang was rescued by Hou Ye."

"I also know that this person is Marquis Wu'an of the two founding princes' mansions. From that day on, at the age of 19, I have been thinking about this person."

"Perhaps it was God's favor. Not long after returning to the imperial capital, I was granted a marriage by the first emperor. But soon there was news that Lord Hou refused to marry me. At that time, I was terribly afraid that I would not be able to marry him in the end. But that day, I was Outside the study, I heard my father talking to my elder brother that the late emperor was afraid of Marquis Wu'an, and that the marriage was intended to arrange an eyeliner in Marquis Wu'an's mansion. If Marquis Wu'an resolutely refuses the marriage, the late emperor would be furious and wonder what would happen!"

"At that moment, I was secretly happy! So I went into the study, and I told my father that the late Emperor was suspicious and self-willed. If this matter does not come true, it will definitely affect my father's career. Stopping at the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, you may even be implicated and demoted. My father was already moved by what I said, so I proposed that I volunteer to be a concubine, and let my father find a way to facilitate this matter."

"Later, the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion finally compromised and agreed to let me enter the mansion as a concubine. When I heard the news, I was so happy that I could finally marry the man I was thinking of. At that time, I didn't care about being just a concubine at all."

"And during the time when I was preparing for marriage, I gradually learned that there is a deep love between the Lord and his wife, and the two hearts are in harmony. And I also feel that maybe I will not be able to marry after entering the Hou's mansion." I am loved by Lord Hou. But even so, in my heart, I still don't want to give up."

"So, I went to the doctor, gave him a lot of silver, asked him to prescribe medicine for my pulse diagnosis, and asked him to recuperate my body. I told him that I needed to conceive on that day, and I also asked the doctor for aphrodisiacs. "

"I heard it today, isn't it incredible that a girl in a boudoir can arrange all this before getting married?"

"Because I'm afraid in my heart, I'm afraid I'll miss this night, maybe in the future, I'll never have a child of Master Hou..."
