Chapter 354: Chapter 354, miss the second one

Madam Hong and Madam Wu Anhou looked at each other and felt that ye suxin’s words made sense.

Madam Hong ordered a servant to fetch the portrait and looked at the Yun character at the bottom.

Madam Wu Anhou picked up the portrait and said, “I’ve seen Xie Yun’s post before. This Yun character is Xie Yun’s handwriting. As long as we compare it with family head Xie’s handwriting, we’ll know.”

Madam Hong recalled that there was a letter from family head Xie in Hong Yang’s study room. She brought over the letter from family head Xie. Although there was no Yun character in it, there was a warm character in it. This warm character was exactly the same as the Yun character.

At this moment, an oral order from the palace came from outside, inviting Madam Hong and the other first-grade imperial ladies to attend the mid-autumn Palace banquet.

Madam Hong asked curiously, “Didn’t his majesty already forbid the empress from managing the six palaces? Why is there a mid-autumn Palace banquet now?”

The marquis’wife said, “Perhaps it’s because the rumors are spreading outside. Moreover, the Qiao family is now the dominant family. His Majesty must at least give the Qiao family and the little crown prince some face.

When the time comes for the mid-autumn Palace banquet, we’ll see how his majesty and the Empress Look. We’ll know.”

Ye Su said excitedly, “If the mid-autumn Day reveals that the Empress is having an affair with Xie Yun, I think his majesty will directly depose the Empress!”

The Marquis’wife silently wondered if she had decided on her daughter’s marriage too early. Her daughter was also the eldest daughter of the Marquis’family, so she should have been born higher than Hong Qifeng.

If Hong Qifeng could become a concubine in the palace, why couldn’t her daughter?

..

After Qiao Ruoyi was able to go out, she returned to the yamen of the Ministry of Appointments. There was a lot of sarcasm behind her back, but Qiao Ruoyi pretended not to hear it.

After leaving the yamen, before she could walk to the front of the carriage, she smelled a faint fragrance of orchid grass.

Qiao Ruoyi looked over. It was Xie Yun’s maid, Lan Xin, who brought a basin of iron bone element. Iron bone element was the most precious breed of Jianlan, especially the orchid fragrance.

Lan Xin said to Qiao ruoyi, “Fifth miss, this is the Jianlan that master ordered to send you. There are still a lot of orchids in the orchid garden. Master also ordered someone to move a stalk of black orchid from Jiangnan. When it blooms in a few days, he will send it to you.”

Qiao ruoyi said, “You don’t have to send these things over anymore. Even if you do, I won’t take them.”

Lan Xin said, “Just take them. If you don’t take them, master will blame me.”

Qiao ruoyi said coldly, “Go back and tell your master that if he feels guilty, there’s no need to make up for it. I know clearly in my heart that he was also schemed by others.

“The child belongs to the Qiao family. The child belongs to the Qiao family in the future. There’s no need to make up for my guilt. I don’t need it either. Orchids grow in the forest, “If we insist on keeping it in the courtyard, it will only destroy the orchids.”

Lan Xin held a pot of orchids and watched Qiao Ruoyi leave. She turned around and returned to the Xie Residence, relaying Qiao Ruoyi’s words to Xie Yun.

Xie Yun said to Lan Xin, “Then you don’t have to go to her anymore in the future.”

Lan Xin carried the orchids and caressed their leaves. “Master, let me say something. Miss Ruoyi is quite good. Since she is pregnant, why are you not willing to marry her?

Miss Ruoyi’s literary talent and family background are enough to match you. You have already missed the empress. Do you want to miss the second one?”

“Lan Xin, you talk too much.”

Lan Xin said, “You clearly liked the empress in the past, but you despised her as a mere merchant’s daughter. How much did you drink on the night of her wedding? You could have told her not to get married.

“If you were willing to marry her, the two elders of the Qiao family would not have let you marry. Even if there were still people from the second branch eyeing you like a tiger, could you really not have protected the empress at that time?

You only looked down on her birth from the bottom of your heart, but she is now the empress. It is useless no matter how much you regret it. If you regret it once, do you still want to regret it a second time?

The emperor and the Empress have been married for seven years. Even the little crown prince, Lu Xi, will be six years old in a few days. As for you, you are still alone..

Now that you finally have a child, you still refuse to acknowledge it. Do you really want to see Miss Ruoyi marry someone else with your child? Do you want to acknowledge someone else as your father?”

“Lanxin, you talk too much!”Xie Yun rebuked. “Put down the orchid and go down!”

Lanxin pouted and reluctantly retreated.

..

The day before the mid-autumn Festival, Qiao Jinniang gave Little Lu Xi a pony as a birthday present. When Qiao Jinniang went to the North Mountain Racecourse on her birthday, she did not bring Lu Xi and Ang ‘er with her.

At that time, Qiao Jinniang had said that she would give him a pony.

There were few masters in the palace now, so the place was also spacious. Qiao Jinniang followed Little Lu Xi to train the horse in the palace.

Bao and Yun, who were playing with Little Lu Xi, also wanted to play with the pony when they saw it.

Qiao Jinniang saw that the three children took turns playing with the horse, so she was not worried that they would fall. The little boy did not need to be carefully raised. It was good to fall more often.

Although Consort Qi and Consort Chu were worried, the empress wasn’t worried that the little crown prince would fall, so they couldn’t be too precious.

While the three of them were playing.

Consort Chu sipped on her osmanthus tea and said, “The rumors outside the palace are getting more and more ridiculous. People are saying that the emperor and empress aren’t on good terms, and there are even rumors that Hong Qifeng is about to enter the harem as a consort.”

Lady Qiao said in surprise, “The rumors are still spreading outside the palace? I thought the rumors had stopped spreading after a few days of the longevity banquet.”

She had not left the palace for a long time. The last time she left the palace, she had only gone to the Qiao family before returning to the palace. She did not know about the rumors among the people.

Rumors were not allowed to spread in the palace. Therefore, Lady Qiao really did not know that the outside world was still speculating about the discord between her and Lu Chen because of the matter at the longevity banquet.

Consort Qi said, “The main point is not the rumors outside. The main point is Hong Qifeng. That Marquis Wu an’s family has been very rampant recently. The daughter of the Hong family might not even be able to enter the palace as a consort. It’s as if the Marquis Wu An’s manor is going to produce a consort.

“Even if Hong Qifeng enters the harem as a consort, she’s only the niece of the Marquis Wu an’s wife!”

Qiao Jinniang frowned. “Hong Qifeng enters the palace? What a joke.”

“It’s not a joke.”The Qi king said to Qiao Jinniang in a low voice, “You really have to pay attention to it. I heard that His Majesty praises her every now and then and even allows her to freely enter the harem.”

Qiao jinniang said, “Freely entering and leaving the harem is because his majesty is working in my palace. Hong Yang had something to do and couldn’t come here, so he asked Hong Qifeng to come to my palace to spread the word. His Majesty praises her because she is capable and does things well. How can it be that he wants her to enter the palace as a concubine?”

Consort Qi said, “Men are all the same. His Majesty and King Qi are brothers. which man doesn’t cheat? You should be more careful.”

Consort Chu fiercely stepped on Consort Qi, consort Qi hugged her feet and said, “Why are you stepping on me? I’m not wrong. Men are greedy cats. If they aren’t honest, they will cheat. Moreover, Hong Qifeng is at the age of marriageable, and her looks are really good!”

Three black lines appeared on Consort Chu’s forehead. She used her eyes to signal consort Qi to stop talking. Her words were even more ridiculous.

“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I’m not a cat, and I don’t know how to have an affair.”Lu Chen came from behind and walked to consort Qiao’s side, “On the other hand, sister-in-law, you’re still a member of the royal family. It’s too beneath your dignity to speculate about me. I’ll punish you to copy the ceremony three times.”

Consort Qi agreed repeatedly. She even wanted to die.
