Is the prince jealous today?

"What wronged you?" Liu Yi was puzzled.

"You are a male concubine and need to live in another courtyard, but you still have to walk around with the family members in the backyard after marriage." Xiaosi said tactfully.

backyard?Isn't that where the female relatives live?Qi Jian didn't take a wife or take concubines, so where did the female relatives come from?

After much deliberation, the only possibility left is that the golden house cangjiao, Liu Yi's eyes widened in an instant: "Could it be?"

Xiaosi nodded tragically: "Exactly."

Is it really a golden house?Hiding and not being able to see people?Most likely it was because of Najiao's background, once discovered, it would be a big trouble.

Liu Yi was speechless for a while: "How dare he?"

Although the relationship between Princess Qi and the eldest son is not good, but after all it is the birth mother, and it is justifiable for the mother-in-law to ask the new daughter-in-law to pay her respects. Xiao Si muttered in a low voice, "I still dare."

Is it true love?Liu Yi's complexion was not very good, she frowned and grabbed the hangover tea and downed it in one gulp: "Which family is it from?"

This way of asking is a little strange. Could it be that the concubine has forgotten what the concubine's surname is?Xiaosi reminded in a low voice: "Jiang's family."

Jiang family?Liu Yi frowned and thought for a moment, always feeling that something was wrong: "The empress's family?"

Xiaos nodded.

Since it is the empress's own family, there shouldn't be any problems with her background. Why do you want to hide her beauty in a golden house?Forget it, don't care about his situation, let's go and see.

Liu Yi put down the teacup and grabbed a robe casually: "Let's go, I want to meet her."

"You, don't you want to change your clothes?" Xiao Si looked at Liu Yi's bright red auspicious clothes, a little dumbfounded.

A woman wearing auspicious clothes to meet her nominal husband seems to be suspected of being provocative?But yesterday he was in a hurry, and he didn't have a change of clothes around him, Liu Yi thought about it: "How about this, help me find Qi Jian's outer robe."

"This..." Xiaosi was even more dumbfounded.

"What is this, go quickly. It's okay to borrow some clothes from him?" Liu Yi said, "I can't even borrow a piece of clothes under the name of a concubine?"

Xiaosi quickly shook his head, not to mention clothes, you are the one who wants to be a son, so that's fine.

However, is it really okay to wear the prince's clothes to meet the mother-in-law?Xiaosi wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he swallowed back the words.

Satisfied, Liu Yi put on Qi Jian's clothes and looked at the bronze mirror: "This guy's clothes are still so delicate, but this color, I remember, he likes white."

"After the son's 15th birthday, he never wore white again." Xiaosi looked at the sky and urged, "Concubine Shizi, you'd better go there quickly, it's getting late."

It wasn't until she followed Xiaosi through the back garden that Liu Yi realized something was wrong.It stands to reason that the people who live in this location are all women who are in charge of the family. It is impossible for Qi Jian to be in charge of the entire Qi mansion, right?

"Are you here?" Someone from afar greeted him, greeted Xiao Si coldly, and looked Liu Yi up and down.

This is Mawei?Looking at this person's age, Liu Yi felt more and more that she seemed to have misunderstood.

After the man looked at him, he sneered and said, "Scholars are really noble, they don't even know how to greet you, but my mother-in-law wants to see someone, so she has to take the initiative to invite her."

"Mother Li, don't you invite the imperial concubine to go in?" Xiaosi stood up and stood between the two of them.

Only then did Li Ma back away a little, and led the two of them to the outside: "Shizi Concubine is waiting here, I will go in and ask Madam to come out."

The madam she mentioned should refer to Princess Qi, Liu Yi suddenly remembered that Qi Jian had said back then that he had a bad relationship with his mother, and at home he only called her Mrs. Jiang.

Speaking of which, the name of this place is quite magical.If a man only has a regular wife and does not marry a side wife, then this lady can be named as her husband. For example, his own mother is called Mrs. Liu.

This Princess Qi can only be called Mrs. Jiang, not Mrs. Qi. Does this mean that King Qi still has a side wife?

Liu Yi tried hard to think for a long time, but he didn't think of Qi Jian mentioning that King Qi had a side wife.While he was thinking about it, Madam Li helped Mrs. Jiang out slowly.

The visitor was not kind, at least it was Qi Jian's own mother, Liu Yigui gave the gift in a proper manner, but after the ceremony was over, Mrs. Jiang didn't have the slightest intention to let him get up.

Is this taking advantage of the fact that the prince is not in the house, to deliberately make things difficult for the concubine?Xiaosi knelt behind Liu Yi, sweating coldly.

"Mama Li, what time is it?" Mrs. Jiang didn't seem to see the two people kneeling on the ground at all. She grabbed Mama Li's hand and sat on the main seat.

"It's time to go back to Madam." Li Ma replied, but her eyes were fixed on Liu Yi.

"So it's already this hour?" Mrs. Jiang nodded, picked up the teacup beside her hand, and slowly sipped her tea.

Liu Yi looked at her quietly, although this Mrs. Jiang was not young, she was really well maintained, and her gestures were very elegant.And the more he looked closely, the more he felt that the corners of Mrs. Jiang's eyebrows and eyes were indeed somewhat similar to Qi Jian, and it seemed that she was undoubtedly her own mother.

After finishing her tea, Madam Jiang paused for a while, then continued: "I don't have much appetite today, tell the kitchen, lunch will be waived for the whole house."

It's fine to kneel, and you won't even be given food?Could it be that the Qi family's house fighting method is to see who is hungry?Liu Yi shook her head helplessly, secretly counting the time.

Kneeling for another 5 minutes, he thought he had given Qi Jian's mother face, so he said, "I'm afraid it's not good to let everyone go hungry together?"

"You don't have the right to speak." Mrs. Jiang didn't speak, but Li Ma frowned.

Liu Yi was not polite to her at all, and brushed off the non-existent ashes on the clothes beside her: "I'm also the concubine after all, how dare I ask you which onion?"

"You..." Madam Li wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Jiang stopped her with her eyes.

"People who have studied in Taixue in the past are really different." Mrs. Jiang said slowly.

Liu Yi nodded: "It's easy to talk about, not only have you read books, but you have also been on the battlefield."

Mrs. Jiang paused for a while, and sneered after a while: "What? Are you reminding me that you have a noble status?"

"Not honorable, not honorable." Liu Yi waved his hands, his face full of sincerity: "I am the eldest son of the general, I have just made military exploits, and I happen to have studied with the prince's relatives."

He paused, and put on a sad expression: "As the saying goes, it's hard for a bride, it's true."

Mama Li had never seen someone who dared to talk back to Mrs. Jiang like this. She was about to get angry when Mrs. Jiang shook her head slightly, and the scene suddenly quieted down.

They didn't move, and Liu Yi couldn't speak. They just stared at each other. After a while, Liu Yi sighed helplessly: "Is there anything else? I'll go back first?"

Why is this situation different from what I imagined?Mrs. Jiang frowned, looked at Liu Yi again, her eyes finally fell on his robe, and smiled slowly: "Jian'er said that marrying you back is just a stopgap measure, and after a while, he will find a way to reconcile. "

How could the prince say this?Xiao Si changed his face, wanted to speak up but dared not speak up, so he could only secretly pull Liu Yi's clothes.

Liu Yi looked down at the hem of his clothes, and said innocently, "Is that why you called me here today?"

"Of course not." Mrs. Jiang looked at Li Ma and continued, "You are not really married, I think you won't mind if I choose a few concubines for my son."

Li Ma got the instructions and took a big box from the bookshelf.

Pick a concubine?Liu Yi watched Li Ma take out a pile of scrolls from the box, and also laughed: "Why, do you want me to be his staff?"

"You are classmates from the past, and you have been friends since you were young. If you think about it, you will know that Jian'er likes it." Mrs. Jiang's eyes were fixed on Liu Yi, for fear of missing the slightest trace of his expression.

Liu Yi didn't say yes or no, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she grabbed a scroll casually.

"What do you think of this woman?" Mrs. Jiang smiled half a smile.

Liu Yi pretended to touch his chin: "It's good, but it's a pity that I'm too thin. My mother said that it's hard to give birth to a small butt."

Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and handed him a scroll: "What about this one?"

"This one is easy to give birth to, but it's too big here." Liu Yi pointed to her chest.

Madam Jiang followed his movements and narrowed her eyes sharply.She never expected that Liu Yi was born in an imperial school, and Jiang Taifu's proud disciple, when talking about this kind of thing, he would not shy away from meat and vegetables.

Liu Yi blinked inscrutablely: "Qi Jian doesn't like this kind of stuff."

"What about this one?" Mrs. Jiang was a little messy, subconsciously picked up another scroll.

This time she was a beauty who was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. Liu Yi tilted her head to look at her, and nodded approvingly: "Not bad."

"Then this one." Mrs. Jiang handed the painting to Mama Li, "Go arrange it, and send it to Jian'er's room tonight. This is what Shi Zifei wants, and Jian'er will not refuse."

If he was really sent back with a concubine, wouldn't the prince die of anger?Xiaosi frowned, and was about to speak.

Who knows Liu Yi is faster than him, snatched the scroll and said with a smile: "I mean, I think it's good. Didn't Madam just talk about reconciling and leaving? I don't want your property when we reconcile. Give these girls to me." Just do it."

Mrs. Jiang: ...

"Why, your Qi family forced me to marry you, it doesn't count if you ruined my innocence, and you plan to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and you don't even want to pay the severance pay?" Liu Yi was still laughing.

I have seen those who help their husbands take concubines, and those who forbid their husbands to take concubines, but I have never seen anyone who robs their husbands of concubines.Xiaosi froze for a moment, lowered his head and held back a bitter smile.

Li's mother was dumbfounded: "You, didn't you say that the butt is small and it is not easy to give birth?"

"What's wrong with having a small butt?" Liu Yi squinted at her, "I just need to have a nice face."

"Well, how big is this place?" Mama Li was at a loss for words.

"That's because Qi Jian doesn't like it, what does it have to do with me?" Liu Yi shrugged.

Seeing that they didn't speak anymore, Liu Yi blinked: "Is there anything else? I'm going to go first, it's time for lunch."

As soon as Qi Jian returned to the mansion, she was told that the concubine Shi Zi and Xiao Si had gone to the wife's main courtyard together.He didn't even change his court clothes, he rushed to the main courtyard without touching his feet, and saw Liu Yi coming out holding a pile of scrolls.

"You?" Qi Jian looked at the scroll with a frown, and said to Liu Yi, "Wait here, I'll come out right away."

"Oh." Liu Yi answered absent-mindedly, and stood under the shade of the tree holding the scroll.

He drove all day yesterday, got a hangover all night, and just talked for a long time, and he started to feel sleepy. Now he is leaning against the tree, and his upper and lower eyelids are involuntarily glued together.

When Qi Jian came out, Liu Yi was leaning against the tree trunk and taking a nap.

He had already heard the ins and outs from Xiao Si, and thought that Liu Yi had rejected a concubine for him. Before he could raise his lips, he saw the portrait in Liu Yi's arms, and his face instantly darkened.

"I heard that you want to leave all the portraits?"

Liu Yi opened her eyes in a daze, and remembered the portrait in her arms: "Ah, yes, it's all here."

"About taking concubines..." Qi Jian frowned.

No matter how good a brother is, he can't care about his marriage, right?What's more, the two of them were still separated by those old things that were unclear.Liu Yi was dizzy and said: "I understand, I understand, they are all men. These portraits are all good, why not return them to you? Can you choose again?"

"You want me to take a concubine?" Qi Jian glared at Liu Yi fiercely.

Liu Yi blinked her eyes and suddenly woke up.

"You want me to take a concubine?" Qi Jian paused and asked again.
