blind concubine

Chapter 6

"Yes, ma'am" the woman next to the third lady responded cleverly.

Picking up the teacup again, she took a sip of the hot tea, but she didn't expect Zhang Qingqing to be so reckless towards her worthless daughter!It's also... the flesh and blood in my body, no matter how unbelievable they are, they will try their best to pave the way for her, why isn't she?

Royal Palace
Chong Wei's buildings show the royal nobility and magnificence everywhere. In the imperial concubine's palace, Huang Yingqiu is well-maintained and looks only about forty, with golden hairpins and various gorgeous headgears inserted into her towering hair temples, and her fair skin looks still. It was flexible, but the fine lines at the corners of her eyes still showed her age. At this moment, there was a trace of guilt in the shock on her face, and she waved her hands complicatedly to signal the waiting ladies and eunuchs to back down.

Huang Yingqiu sat on the soft chair, dazed... Qingqing was expressing her dissatisfaction and resentment to her!

Supporting his head with one hand, he closed his eyes slowly, and said silently in his heart: Qingqing, I am the one who is sorry for you!From now on, I will do my best to help your daughter Shui Bingxuan who you regard as your heart and soul find a good home...

"See the Sixth Prince" came the voice of the palace maid and eunuch.

Ning Tianqi walked in with his hands behind his back, saw the concubine mother who was sitting on the soft chair with her eyes closed, lowered her eyes, and eased her steps slightly.

"Emperor" Huang Yingqiu opened her eyes and looked at her outstanding son. The emperor has many heirs, eight of whom are princes alone, and Tianqi is ranked sixth. Of course, she also hopes that Tianqi can ascend to a high position, so she deliberately wants to marry Qingqing. After all, although the Shui family is the last in the fifth family, behind Zhang Qingqing there is a prime minister who cannot be underestimated.I didn't expect... I didn't expect that the Water Mansion didn't have much effect on Shui Bingxuan, and the Prime Minister's attitude towards Shui Bingxuan didn't show much enthusiasm.Coupled with Shui Bingxuan's temperament... the most important thing is Huang'er's firm opposition, she just turned a blind eye and closed one eye!did not expect……

"Mother Concubine is worried about Mrs. Shui?" Ning Tianqi sat on the chair, looked at Huang Yingqiu and asked.

Huang Yingqiu sighed slightly: "Will the emperor change his mind?"

"Of course not," Ning Tianqi said decisively.Although not all women have only one purpose, but the position of his concubine is at least a woman he is willing to marry, not Shui Bingxuan.

She just knew it!Huang Yingqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "How does the Xiangfu think about this?" What she fears most now is that the Xiangfu will come forward and ask the emperor's son to marry Shui Bingxuan.

Ning Tianqi frowned when he heard this, and he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to express his apology for this, but the old Cheng Xiang didn't come out to see him...

"What day does the Water Mansion arrange for the mourning?" Huang Yingqiu suddenly asked.

"tomorrow"

tomorrow?In such a hurry?Huang Yingqiu thought for a moment, "Emperor, tomorrow you will go to the Water Mansion with your mother and concubine, and I will personally offer incense sticks to her."

"Mother concubine?" Ning Tianqi also turned his head and thought for a moment.Tomorrow, not only the other four great families, but also officials of all sizes in the capital should send people to the Water Mansion. If he and his concubine appear in the Water Mansion, then they can take this opportunity to silence other people's mouths.

"Okay" After all, she is Guan Rui's aunt, so he took it as giving Guan Rui face.

In the elegant room
"The Sixth Prince is going to the Shui Mansion in person tomorrow?" Yun Zaiyuan looked at Ning Tianqi with raised eyebrows.

"Of course he has to go there in person, otherwise it's hard to explain to Guan Rui." Jiang Yibo said lightly.

"I didn't know Mrs. Shui would do such a thing." Ning Tianqi also said calmly.

"Guan Rui declined today's invitation again?" Ning Ci only noticed that Guan Rui did not come today.Since the incident in the Water Mansion, Guan Rui has not appeared in the past few days.

Jiang Yibo casually glanced at Ning Tianqi: "Sixth Prince, if the Prime Minister asks the Sixth Prince to marry Miss Shui, what should the Sixth Prince do?"

Because of Jiang Yibo's words, there were different reactions in the wing room.

Yun Zaiyuan was the first to speak out: "Of course it won't work. Although the sixth prince hasn't officially gone to the Yun family to propose marriage, everyone in the capital knows about it. Guan Rui also knows it well. How could he be so unkind?"

Jiang Yibo didn't look at Yun Zaiyuan, but just looked at Ning Tianqi lazily. This matter just depends on the attitude of the Xiangfu. If the Xiangfu doesn't pursue the death of the eldest lady, then Ning Tianqi can sit back and relax. If the Prime Minister really comes forward to ask the royal family to give an explanation, there will only be two results. One is that Ning Tianqi marries Shui Bingxuan, but he must abandon the Yun family, or offend the Yun family.Another thing is that Ning Tianqi still wants to divorce, so the one who will offend is the Xiangfu, and the power of the Xiangfu in the court cannot be underestimated.

"Yibo thinks that the Prime Minister will definitely intervene in this matter?" Ning Tianqi looked at Jiang Yibo solemnly from the side. Jiang Yibo was undoubtedly a calm person, and he analyzed the situation in front of him.It's just... Will the Xiangfu really come forward this time?
There was a slight smile on the corner of Jiang Yibo's mouth: "I heard that the old prime minister is very sad about the death of the eldest lady." The pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man, even the respected Mr. Zhang couldn't laugh it off.What's more, this is also related to the face of the Xiangfu.

"I agree with Yibo's idea. The Xiangfu will definitely ask you to marry Shui Bingxuan tomorrow." Ning Chen also expressed his opinion.Whether the sixth prince can successfully withdraw the engagement depends only on tomorrow.

"The Sixth Prince needs to think about the countermeasures and...decisions in his heart." Yun Zaiyuan looked at Ning Tianqi and said, it seems that the mourning in Tomorrow Shui Mansion is dark and turbulent.

Jiang Yibo lowered his eyes slightly. In fact, the thing that caught his attention the most was not the Xiangfu. After all, whether to marry or not is only a matter of Ning Tianqi's choice.But Shui Bingxuan in this incident really aroused his curiosity.This Shui Bingxuan hadn't seen Ning Tianqi and Yun Luoyi come out of the Shui Mansion more than a month ago, and she hadn't seen her come out to make a fuss about such a big matter as the divorce. Even the death of the eldest lady, she can still stay in There is no movement in the water mansion... this... very strange!He would go to Shuifu tomorrow to see the excitement.

Water House Dongwan
"Miss" Ting Lan secretly looked at the young lady, since the wife passed away, the young lady seldom spoke, just sat silently.

Shui Bingxuan turned her head to look at Ting Lan, but didn't make a sound.

"Miss, Master Zhang is here to see Miss."

Master Zhang?Shui Bingxuan's cousin!He came... Shui Bingxuan thought for a while.

"Ask him to come in" She wanted to see what the Prime Minister's mansion meant by sending someone here now.

"Yes" Ting Lan looked at the young lady again, the young lady seemed to be a different person these days!Even when the eldest lady died, the young lady did not shed tears, as if... seemed to have become very calm.

A man came in, a man with a very good appearance, with a white robe, black hair tied with a white cloth, full forehead, thick black eyebrows, and a complicated and tall look in his eyes. Under the nose is a red and attractive mouth. This is a very handsome face. His facial features are delicate and masculine, and his slightly fair complexion makes him look like a scholar.In terms of appearance, she gave him a passing score of [-], and Shui Bingxuan nodded politely towards Zhang Guanrui who came in.

Zhang Guanrui looked at the person sitting on the chair in the room, squinted his eyes slightly, dressed in white onyx, no rouge on his face, and only plain white cloth on his black hair, such a quiet and simple Xuan'er is really Let him not get used to it!But... the pain of losing her mother must have made her mature a lot, right?
"Xuan'er..." I hope she can really grow up and mature in the future. Without the protection of her aunt, her life will definitely be different from the past.

"Please sit down." Shui Bingxuan didn't get up.

Zhang Guanrui sat opposite Shui Bingxuan, listening to Lan serve good tea.The atmosphere in the room is quiet.

Zhang Guanrui frowned, Xuan'er is so quiet now?
"Grandpa asked me to tell you that tomorrow the Zhang family will come forward to make the sixth prince abide by the marriage contract." The death of the aunt made the grandfather, who had always ignored the court affairs, heartbroken, and vowed to fulfill the last wish of the aunt.Although he doesn't think that Xuan'er will be happy if she marries Tianqi, but...if this is what she really wants, he won't stop it either.

Shui Bingxuan lowered her eyes and laughed ironically in her heart!What's the point of coming out now?Rather than saying that Zhang Qingqing's death shocked the Zhang family, it is better to say that Zhang Qingqing's death made the Zhang family unable to step down.After all, with the status of the Zhang family, the granddaughter was divorced by the royal family and the daughter committed suicide in protest!When this fact spread to the world, it was no less than a slap in the face of the Zhang family.So of course the Zhang family will rise up to argue with the royal family?It's ridiculous!She felt worthless for what Zhang Qingqing got in exchange for her death!
"No need." Now Shui Bingxuan doesn't need it anymore.

Zhang Guanrui looked at Shui Bingxuan, who was downcast, and was extremely shocked, "Xuan'er said no?" He also saw Xuan'er's attitude towards the sixth prince.Now Xuan'er actually said no need?This... Xuan'er was hit too hard?
"Yes, there's no need." Shui Bingxuan raised her head and looked directly at Zhang Guanrui, the coldness and sarcasm in her eyes also made the other party look into her eyes without any concealment.

Zhang Guanrui stared at the mockery in Shui Bingxuan's eyes for a moment, then took a deep look at Shui Bingxuan, the shock in his heart was known only to him.This is Xuan'er now?It seems that adversity makes people grow up, this is true!It's just...why did he feel a little guilty in the face of such insightful eyes?Guilty didn't come forward to help Xuan'er in the first place?
On the day when Mrs. Shuifu mourned for her, the entire resignation incident was full of ups and downs. The death of the eldest lady, the intervention of the Xiangfu, the resignation incident caused a sensation in the capital, and everyone knew about it... Shui Bingxuan also gained a little sympathy because of Zhang Qingqing's death. .

Everyone is guessing, what kind of decision will the royal family make on the grand lady's mourning day?Are you going to divorce?Or abide by the marriage contract?
Under the decoration of the white cloth, the gorgeous and exquisite water mansion has a sense of awe and indifference.

Shui Suolin and his three sons stood at the entrance of the hall to entertain the mourning guests...Because there were so many guests, the father and son were very busy, but their faces had to be dignified and sad. got them...
