Since returning from the border pass, Zhao Ruiyang has been resigned to what Xiao Yao does and connived in every way, but when he heard the spies say that Xiao Yao and Xiaocui went to Xiaoyangzhuang in disguise, he suddenly raised his vigilance.
He knows best what Xiao Yao is worried about, could it be that Xiao Yao is ready to leave?
He immediately went to the palace, and what he heard and saw was Xiao Yao, who was discouraged and knelt down to worship his master all day long.
His heart hurt as if he had been pulled by someone.
He didn't expect Xiao Yao to be so affectionate to Zhao Ruiyun, but it was just a three-month couple.
She didn't want to stay in this world anymore and was sad to leave.
No way!
He must stop her!
She belongs to him, and she can't leave before she is fully his!
He couldn't bear this kind of thing to happen, whether it was for his feelings or the dignity of the emperor, it couldn't happen.
However, he knew that for a woman like Xiao Yao, he must be cautious, and there must not be a trace of deviation and reluctance.
Otherwise, it will only backfire, and I don't have the slightest confidence in her now. can only follow her first, and tie her with affection and family affection.
So he went to the palace three times in a row, and each time he condescended to talk to Xiaocui alone.
He knew that Xiao Cui and even Qiu Yue, Qiu Ju and Xia He were more important than himself in Xiao Yao's heart.
He had to let them hold her.
At Xiaocui's place, he told her to send someone to stay with the princess every inch of her way, so as to prevent the princess from running away from home to become a nun without having a meeting.
Of course, Xiaocui would not be willing to become a monk, so she obeyed the emperor's words.
In the palace, he was unusual, taking turns to rest in Qiu Ju and Xia He's palace every night, and even the queen rarely went there, resulting in the appearance of favoring the two Zhaoyi, which made the other concubines in the palace jealous, and thought of how to stumble the two low-status Zhaoyi and rectify them.
And not only did he pretend not to know, but he also privately sent his henchmen and eunuchs to instigate those jealous and jealous mothers who felt that they were good-looking or had a family background to provoke Qiu Ju and Xia He.
The two women who had suffered so hard that they didn't dare to say it in front of him.
Because although he slept in the palace of the two, he did not do husband and wife affairs with them, let alone show his love for the two.
The jealous concubines and brothers in the court also removed Qiu Ju and Xia He's father and brother's sesame mung bean officials for some trivial things. made the mother's family frequently blame them, and they were helpless, so the two had to write to Xiao Yao to complain, begging her to support them and make the decision.
Xiao Yao's mind was all on her own affairs, and she had long forgotten that there were these two hard-working sisters.
When I received their letters, I felt guilty in my heart. decided to put down what he was doing and took Xiaocui to the palace to see Qiu Ju and Xia He.
When the two saw Xiao Yao, they couldn't help crying.
I knew that today, I would not choose to marry the emperor if I was killed.
The sparrow flying on the branch does not become a phoenix, but just serves as a foil and humiliates itself.
Look at Xiaocui and Qiuyue's current lives, not to mention wealth, the key is how free and happy they are!
Xiao Yao listened carefully to the crying of the two, and had a big question in her heart?
If it's not a favored concubine, shouldn't all palaces be afraid of it?
Aren't they afraid that the emperor will know about the crime against them?
After thinking about it, I'm afraid these two don't dare to tell the emperor, right?
That's it, let yourself be this wicked person, anyway, I'm not afraid of the emperor's bunch of jealous women, if they don't become officials and don't participate in politics, what can their fathers and brothers do to themselves?
Thinking about it, she carefully told the two of them, and then went to see the queen.
At noon that day, the emperor and the queen prepared a banquet in the palace to entertain Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao specially asked the queen to invite all the concubines who could be on the stage, especially the few concubines who were privately rectifying Qiu Ju and Xia He, none of them were allowed to come.
During the banquet, the emperor asked Xiao Yao and the queen to sit on his left and right seats, Xiao Yao did not shirk as before, sat down peacefully, and pointed to Qiu Ju on the side seat in front of everyone, Xia He said to the emperor: "These two Zhaoyi have just married their sisters, please let them sit next to their sisters, so that we can be closer to each other." ”
