"What happened?" Xie Ziyue frowned subconsciously.
"It's not Zuo Xiangfu yet!" Taoxiang stamped her feet. After repeating the news she just heard outside, she couldn't help complaining:
"What do you mean by sending a second lady here to pick up the queen properly?"
At this point, Tao Xiang couldn't help but roll her eyes when she remembered the version she just heard.
Sometimes I really don’t want to say it. The Zuo Xiang family is at least considered a wealthy family, even if it doesn’t mean that it has all the power in the government.
How could such a person do something so dishonorable? To collect the body of the legitimate daughter who was the empress during her lifetime, not even the main wife was sent, but a young lady who had not left the cabinet?
Don't be afraid of others laughing when you spread the word. It's not decent at all!
The key point is that the second young lady is not a good person. She is obviously more scheming than her sister. She actually asked her father to write a note and asked to meet Han Xianzong when she entered Guoan Temple.
I don’t know what was written in the fold, but Han Xianzong only asked Laifu to take the fold and go in, and didn’t say to let the second lady in.
The second young lady was not embarrassed even after being rejected. She knelt on the ground with a respectful attitude, neither humble nor arrogant.
Many concubines laughed in their hearts when they heard the news. When did the daughter of the dignified Prime Minister Zuo become so worried about getting married?
Han Xianzong's disgust for her biological sister was obvious to all, and he was not even willing to give her a decent look after her death.
Doesn't she think that she can get the emperor's mercy by kneeling here?
This idea is too naive.
Many concubines were waiting to see her joke. Who knew that after waiting for a while, Han Xianzong actually came out with the approved memorial and handed it to the second lady himself.
Although there were very few exchanges between the two, under such circumstances, it was really surprising.
No one dared to eavesdrop on what the two said while Han Xianzong was still there. They only knew that when the second lady left Guoan Temple, she still had a smile on her lips.
The news was only as explosive as the Queen's death.
So such breaking news seemed to have wings and spread to this yard in a short time.
Taoxiang just went out to bury a needle-pricked villain and listened, so she hurried in to report.
Hearing this, Gu Xuan felt a little ashamed.
The empress was such a pitiful person that she must be hateful. Not to mention that her bones were not yet cold, even her head had not yet arrived, and Zuo Xiangfu was still thinking about sending her sister in.
Sadly, even though her biological sister had just died, this second young lady had no concept of family affection. Compared to her sister's death, she was more moved by the status that was readily available to her.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have left Guoan Temple with a smile on my face.
But his father was not happy with Zuo Xiang's family, which could be seen from the fact that he didn't even want to see the second young lady before.
I don’t know what was written in the folding book, but my father changed his mind after reading it.
Xie Ziyue had obviously thought of this as well, and she said with deep meaning: "The problem is not with this second young lady. I'm afraid that envelope is the source of it."
Naturally, the people in the harem would not care about the information that the left prime minister gave to the emperor, but this second young lady is indeed not a good person.
Xie Ziyue frowned and thought for a while, then looked up and saw Taoxiang pouting with an unhappy face, and couldn't help but feel happy:
"Why are you looking so sad about this?"
"I just feel that if this second young lady enters the palace, she will be a big trouble!" Tao Xiang muttered.
"You can just say this here." Although Xie Ziyue agreed with Taoxiang's words, if these unreasonable remarks were heard by someone with a heart, the consequences would be disastrous:
"What happens to her in the future is up to His Majesty. As long as she is calm and smart, don't bring her here, and don't have any direct conflict with her."
It is better to do less than to do more. It would be fine if there were no children. Xie Ziyue was fighting for favors every day or two, and she was very good at understanding Han Xianzong's little thoughts.
After having a child, others always like to target her daughter.
Of course, if the second young lady had no eyes and insisted on pointing the finger at her, Xie Ziyue would not tolerate it.
"But..." Tao Xiang hesitated.
The first empress was named empress as soon as she entered the palace. She is also the legitimate daughter of the left prime minister. This second lady will not take over her sister's position as soon as she enters the palace, right?
Xie Ziyue understood Tao Xiang's meaning and smiled without saying a word.
After having learned enough from the first empress, Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty would not jump into the same pit twice.
The Prime Minister Zuo must have promised something in that envelope, but he also made a big setback.
It is true that the second lady of the prime minister's house can enter the palace, but she will definitely not be the queen.
There will not be two queens and one queen mother in Zuo Xiangfu.
Facts have proved that Xie Ziyue's guess was correct.
Not long after returning to the palace, Miss Zuo Xiang met the Holy Emperor by chance when she entered the palace to visit the Queen Mother. The two hit it off immediately, and the imperial edict came to Zuo Xiang's Mansion that night, conferring the title of Concubine on Second Miss Zuo, and choosing a day to enter the palace.
For other people, if their own daughter became a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, she would not know how happy she would be.
However, the expressions of everyone in Zuo Xiang's Mansion were heavy. They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
The leader, Mrs. Zuo Xiang, was even more surprised. She glanced at Zuo Xiang next to her several times, as if she was asking something.
Only Prime Minister Zuo looked at his nose and heart. After the father-in-law who read the imperial edict finished reading it, he took the lead in kneeling down to receive the edict.
The master knelt down to receive the order, and the others could only kneel down, no matter how reluctant they were.
It was just that the superficial etiquette was in place, but the father-in-law who read out the imperial edict did not receive any reward before leaving.
This matter should be noticed by the hostess of the house, not by the man's family. Mrs. Zuo Xiang was dissatisfied with her youngest daughter's position in the palace, and she was so confused that she didn't give her any silver reward.
This also caused the father-in-law to make a lot of comments about the left prime minister's family after returning to the palace... Of course, I won't mention it here for the time being.
But after the people in the palace left, the group returned to the room, and Mrs. Zuo Xiang grabbed his arm and wiped her tears:
"Master, our Ru'er has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she is also very smart. As soon as she entered the palace, she was made a concubine... Wen'er died in such a strange way..."
When Mrs. Zuo Xiang said the previous words, Prime Minister Zuo just listened, but when he heard the word 'wen'er', he felt as if he had been stepped on and immediately scolded:
"You're a woman! Stop talking nonsense!"
After all, Mrs. Zuo Xiang was a woman who believed in her husband as her heaven. Although she felt sad after hearing this, she still kept her mouth shut and just wiped her tears silently.
"What do you know?" Seeing this, Zuo Xiang softened his voice and said:
"Before, the empress did something so disrespectful to the family! Your Majesty is already disgusted with us. If Ru'er is not allowed to enter the palace soon, will there still be a place for my Xuan family in the harem in the future? Don't want a woman's heart! Everything is for The lintel of the family."
His face was sincere and no one could find anything wrong.
