After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain
Chapter 62: The Palace [2]
Of course Xiao Chengji was not injured. If he could fall off the horse, all these years of riding the horse would have been in vain. From now on, he would let the horse ride him.
However, the horse's leg was indeed broken when it fell on the ice. Someone must have tampered with it, and the secret guards have been asked to investigate.
It's the same whether you check or not. He has encountered countless such "unexpected events" since he was a child, and he can't even remember how many there are.
He sent a message to Yan Yu and wanted to see if Yan Yu would come.
There have been a lot of affairs going on in the palace in the capital recently. Under normal circumstances, she would definitely not come. After all, she is not a doctor, and she would not be able to do anything even if she came. With Yan Yu's brain, she would definitely be able to think of it.
If she came - Xiao Chengji felt that this was unlikely.
In the evening, Xiao Chengji was dragged by his brothers to celebrate with Lao Jiu. It was hard to tell what they were thinking in their hearts, but on the surface they had to maintain the atmosphere of good brothers, especially under the emperor's nose, they had to pretend to be real brothers even if they had to.
Xiao Chengji was not very happy, and he especially disliked the fifth and seventh brothers.
The Sixth Prince Xiao Jingshuo and Xiao Chengji were closer. This time when Xiao Chengji made a mistake while riding his horse, Xiao Jingshuo couldn't help but tease him: "Third brother, I heard that you fell off the horse and almost broke your leg."
Xiao Chengji was absent-minded when drinking and didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
Huo Ha next to him laughed and said, "With the skills of our prince, how could such a thing happen?"
Xiao Jingshuo smiled and lowered his voice to Xiao Chengji's ear: "I heard that Fifth Brother brought his concubine with him when he came to the palace this time."
Xiao Chengji didn't care about what was happening in Xiao Jiashan's room at all, and asked casually, "What concubine?"
Xiao Jingshuo said: "It's the girl from the Wei family who almost married you as your principal wife!"
Xiao Chengji's face darkened.
Wei Ruxuan did come with Xiao Jiashan. She was really worried that if she didn't come along, some palace maid would come up and seduce Xiao Jiashan and take him away.
During this period, Xiao Jiashan really doted on her. Perhaps to make up for her, he sent all kinds of good things to her room in various ways.
The Zheng family is rich enough to rival a country. Xiao Jiashan has such close ties with the Zheng family that it is easy for him to get some good things. Sometimes, Xiao Jiashan can get tributes that the emperor has not yet enjoyed through the Zheng family.
Wei Ruxuan looked at herself in the mirror every day and felt sorry for herself. She wore a golden hairpin with crabapple inlay and kingfisher feathers on her hair, gold earrings inlaid with eastern pearls on her ears, pearl, jade and tourmaline bracelets on her hands, and a floor-length dress with round flowers woven with peacock feathers. Even the concubines above the rank of imperial concubine in the palace could not match her in such luxurious clothes.
But what's the point of being so beautiful? Besides Xiao Jiashan and the maid, how many others can see it?
Wei Ruxuan gritted her teeth, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt.
When she entered the palace and had to meet people, in order to cater to Empress Zheng's preferences, she had to dress like a woman who had been widowed for ten years. She was not allowed to wear any flowers or powder.
What's the point of living if you have love but can't show it to everyone?
The so-called "walking at night in gorgeous clothes" is probably what she is like, right?
Wei Ruxuan used a little force in her hand and broke a golden hairpin: "Where is the Fifth Master now?"
The maidservant in front of her said quickly, "Tonight is Jiu Ye's fifteenth birthday. Because it is an integer, several princes are drinking at Jiu Ye's place."
Wei Ruxuan rolled her eyes: "Who's here?"
"Our Fifth Master, Third Master, Sixth Master, Seventh Master, Ninth Master, and several young princes and heirs from the royal family."
Wei Ruxuan adjusted the hairpin in her hair in front of the mirror and said, "Our Fifth Master is born to the Empress, unlike those illegitimate children. What if someone gets him drunk and hurts his body? I have to go and take a look."
The maid said nothing, nor did she dare to say anything.
Because in the palace, basically no one dared to talk about the legitimate and illegitimate sons of these princes, and there were two emperors in the Wei Dynasty who were not born of legitimate sons.
In addition, after the death of Prince Qin's biological mother, Concubine Bo, the emperor immediately posthumously conferred the title of Empress Xiaohui on Concubine Bo. If we really talk about these, Prince Qin's title is well-deserved.
So over time, even the empress dowager stopped mentioning this in front of the emperor.
But this Concubine Wei was unhappy every other day, and when she was unhappy she would prick their mouths and hands with a hairpin, and the maids did not dare to remind her of this.
Wei Ruxuan tidied her appearance, asked about the palace where the Ninth Prince lived, and went there immediately.
At this time, several princes were drinking happily. There were also dancers and musicians in the banquet. The emperor came once and then left.
Xiao Chengji thought it was not very interesting. He was about to get up and go back when a door opened silently. No one noticed that a eunuch came in.
The eunuch ran to Huoha's ear and whispered a few words. Huoha's face changed slightly, and he hurried to Xiao Chengji: "Your Highness, our princess has come to the palace and is now in your residence."
Xiao Chengji almost choked on a glass of wine.
The Sixth Prince Xiao Jingshuo smiled: "Third brother, what's wrong with you? Is the Third Sister-in-law here?"
Xiao Chengji said coldly: "It's okay."
A door opened again, and this time everyone looked over there.
Xiao Jiashan was chatting and laughing with the seventh prince Xiao Qiru. When they heard the noise, they looked over.
Xiao Jingshuo had never met Wei Ruxuan before, but after so many years in the palace, he could tell the other person's identity by the clothes, jewelry and occasion.
First of all, the other party cannot be the emperor’s concubine, the emperor’s concubine would not appear here.
It was impossible that she was the wife of any minister. In their eyes, only ministers who were well-known could bring their wives to the palace, and the wives of these ministers were basically their first wives, who must be at least 40 years old and above.
In addition, this dress is not something that can be worn by women other than the royal family.
Concubines are not allowed to wear dresses adorned with oriental pearls and gold woven cloth, so they must be the principal wife of one of the princes or young masters present here.
There's just one thing that's not so good - isn't it rude for a woman to barge in so casually when a group of men are drinking together?
Many people speculated, and Xiao Jingshuo was also stunned. He muttered casually: "Is this our third sister-in-law? Oh, our third sister-in-law is dressed so grandly, and the jewelry on her head must weigh at least three pounds."
The Prince of Qin has the highest status among those present. If the Princess of Qin appeared like this, it would be difficult for others to say anything.
Xiao Chengji also thought that it was Yan Yu who came, but when he looked up, it was not her at all. Then he thought that such a lazy girl would not come here in person to ask him to go back.
Xiao Jiashan's face turned blue and then red. He didn't know what to say for a long time. He watched Wei Ruxuan walk around a few dancers and come up to him.
Seeing that his face looked strange, Xiao Qirui quickly stepped aside to make room for the two men.
Xiao Jiashan held back his anger and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Wei Ruxuan didn't expect that they would invite a group of coquettish bitches to dance after drinking. She glanced at the dancer next to her and said, "Of course I came to see you. I was afraid you were drunk."
