The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

It was late at night and Xia Pinxiang had already gone to bed, but when Mo Yuyang's men came to find her, she could only suppress her anger and get up to go to Prince Yuan's Mansion.

When they arrived at Prince Yuan's Mansion, Mo Yuyang instructed someone to take Xia Pinxiang directly to the study.

Fortunately, Mo Yuyang had finished his rage. When Xia Pinxiang came in, she only saw Mo Yuyang's cold face: "Your servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Yuan."

Mo Yuyang didn't want to say anything more, he just raised his hand casually and asked, "Did you see Prince Luo with your own eyes that day in the general's mansion?"

Xia Pinxiang didn't know what Mo Yuyang meant by asking this, so she nodded obediently.

"It seems to be true." Mo Yuyang muttered to himself.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong?" Xia Pinxiang heard Mo Yuyang's muttering, but she didn't understand what Mo Yuyang meant.

"The Japanese king had clearly found out that Mo Yuchen had left the capital, so why did he save Xia Yanxiang on that street? Is it really a coincidence?" Mo Yuyang's words were no longer full of doubt, but a little excited. "What do you think, is it a coincidence?"

Xia Pinxiang looked at Mo Fuyang's smiling face, and had some vague guesses in her mind. She smiled at Mo Fuyang.

"By the way, didn't Mrs. Tu say anything about the Third Miss?" Mo Yuyang had tried to test the Right Prime Minister's attitude several times in the court. It was completely beyond his expectation that the Right Prime Minister seemed to know nothing. However, the matter was widely spread, and the Right Prime Minister's attitude was very intriguing.

Xia Pinxiang also found it strange. Even though she was furious after being humiliated by Xia Yanxiang, she later calmed down. However, Tu never said anything. Even Xia Liu had secretly asked Xia Yanxiang several times, but Tu never responded.

"The strange thing is that Tu didn't ask anything. Even my father secretly asked Xia Yanxiang."

This is very strange.

Tu didn't say anything, and the Right Prime Minister didn't react either. General Pu Wei was a little angry in the court, but even if the Right Prime Minister could hold it back, how could Tu, as a mother, not react at all?

"Could it be that Mrs. Tu knew something?" Mo Yuyang suspected that after Xia Pinxiang returned to the Shangshu Mansion, Mrs. Tu had discovered something.

Xia Pinxiang felt a little guilty, and didn't dare to say that she was sent back by Xia Zhibai's men: "I don't know, it should be fine, right?"

Mo Yuyang stared straight at Xia Pinxiang's expression, as if he had seen something, but the next moment, Mo Yuyang said, "Nothing. Even if Tu knew something, they can't do anything to me."

"Yes."

day.

Although Xia Pinxiang married Mo Fuyang as a concubine, Xia Liu's official position was already the first rank after all. Moreover, there were the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion. It was not too unworthy for Xia Pinxiang to marry Mo Fuyang as a concubine. The Mansion of the Minister of Rites was already a place where big trees attracted wind, so Xia Pinxiang's wedding certainly could not be held as a concubine's.

Yang Jin was just a concubine. Although Xia Liu indulged her a lot on weekdays, this matter was no longer something Yang Jin could take over, so Yang Jin could only send people to inquire about Qinyuan's progress many times.

And Xia Yanxiang has now obtained Xia Liu's permission to participate in the affairs of the mansion, which makes Yang Jin even more vigilant.

"How is it?" Yang Jin was very uneasy and sent people to inquire many times.

"Don't worry, Auntie! The Second Miss's marriage is going smoothly. These days, Madam is counting the Second Miss's dowry. She said that the dowry list will be sent to you and the Second Miss for review in about one or two days."

Although there was nothing wrong with Tu's approach, and it could even be said that it gave Xia Pinxiang enough respect, Yang Jin still doubted Tu's intentions.

"Oh! Mother, even if Tu dislikes us, if this marriage is not done well, it will be Tu's face that will be lost. Then she won't be able to keep up her hypocritical face." Xia Pinxiang didn't care. "What's more, this marriage is granted by the emperor. If Tu dares to do anything, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the emperor?"

"That being said," Yang Jin was still worried, "Xia Yanxiang has suddenly changed a lot. Isn't mother worried that she is jealous of you marrying Prince Yuan and is trying to tamper with your marriage?"

When Xia Yanxiang was mentioned, Xia Pinxiang's momentum weakened. She was so scared by Xia Yanxiang's appearance last time that she drank two bowls of ginger soup when she returned home before she came to her senses.

"No, no way?" Xia Pinxiang said with a lack of confidence, "This is an appointed marriage. If Xia Yanxiang dares to make a move, isn't she afraid of the emperor's blame?"

"It's better to be careful. But I'm sure Xia Yanxiang won't dare to interfere in your marriage. After all, she is not only an unmarried girl, but also your sister. If she dares to interfere in her sister's marriage, she might not want to live in the future." Yang Jin thought about it and felt relieved.

That's right, Xia Yanxiang really can't interfere in Xia Pinxiang's marriage, but Xia Yanxiang had no intention of doing anything about Xia Pinxiang's marriage. Instead, she wanted to do her best to make Xia Pinxiang's marriage go smoothly.

Therefore, Xia Yanxiang asked to help Tu manage the affairs of the mansion in order to reduce Tu's burden, so that Tu could devote herself to arranging Xia Pinxiang's wedding.

"Mother, how is my second sister's marriage going?" Xia Yanxiang asked casually while having dinner in Qin Garden after she had dealt with other matters.

"Her dowry is almost ready. Second Aunt has also come to ask about it several times. It will probably be ready in a day or two." Tu was a little disdainful of Yang Jin's behavior, but due to her good upbringing, she didn't care too much. She just looked down on it a little.

After hearing this, Xia Yanxiang was also somewhat disdainful: "It is normal for the Second Aunt to be concerned about the Second Sister's marriage. Has the Second Aunt prepared a dowry for the Second Sister?"

"After all, she is my own daughter, so Second Aunt must have prepared something." Tu took the tea handed over by He Luo, blew on it gently, and then said, "But your father's meaning is quite ridiculous."

Xia Liu is usually a bit shameless, but he always pretends to be so in front of women like Tu because he is afraid of losing face.

Xia Yanxiang vaguely guessed it, but she was still curious and asked, "What did father say?"

"It's not stated explicitly," Tu took a sip of tea and said slowly, "but the meaning is that since Pinxiang is the daughter of the Xia family, she can also be considered the niece of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. Can your uncle also provide a dowry? In this way, Pingxiang will not have a hard time marrying into the Yuan Palace."

"Second sister is the concubine of Prince Yuan, who was personally married by the emperor. Who can be disrespectful to second sister?" Xia Yanxiang once again witnessed Xia Liu's shamelessness. "Besides, adding this dowry is not a big deal. Father wants uncle to add it. I'm afraid he doesn't mean to support second sister, but to bring glory to her, right?"

"My second sister is just a concubine's daughter. I, the legitimate daughter, am the niece of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, right? If my uncle adds a dowry to my second sister, wouldn't that be a slap in my face?" Xia Yanxiang really thought that Xia Liu was daydreaming. Their Tu family was not a family that Xia Liu could manipulate as he pleased.

"But I have already discussed this matter with your uncle. Your uncle has his own plans, so you don't have to worry about it. Even in this Xia Mansion, no matter how much your father favors his concubine and neglects his wife, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion will ultimately stand on the side of us mother and daughter." Tu was afraid that Xia Yanxiang would be hurt by Xia Liu's partiality, so she made clear her and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion's position.

Xia Yanxiang knew that Tu was sensitive, and was also worried that she would hurt herself because of being too sensitive: "Don't worry, mother, just let father do what he wants. Don't we know our uncle's character well?"

After hearing what Xia Yanxiang said, Tu was relieved.
