No matter how complicated the Xie family's mood was, they still had to pinch their noses and help Zhong Lan.
Of course, after Zhong Lan happily accepted the imperial edict, Xie Yunzi still talked with Zhong Lan privately and took the opportunity to win over Zhong Lan.
"I like your temperament very much during our time together. If you marry Xuan'er, you will be very compatible with him. It's a pity that you and Xuan'er still lack a little bit of fate."
"In my heart, I still regard you as my niece-in-law. I only recognize you as one."
Listening to the sincere words of this concubine, Zhong Lan deliberately opened her eyes wide, revealing a charming and wet look like a deer, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." A hint of disdain emerged in Xie Yunzi's heart. Zhong Lan is really not easy to trick. Just like what her father said, this kind of simple woman who has never seen the market, as long as she takes love as her
If you go to jail, you can make them wholeheartedly help them.
Zhong Lan showed a charming and shy smile, "Then I can take him back to the Xi tribe."
"I can raise him and plant a bamboo forest for him."
Xie Yunzi's full words were blocked back, and her body became stiff, "No need. Xuan'er's parents and elders are all in Xinzhou. He is a filial person. His parents are here and he does not travel far away."
Zhong Lan said: "It doesn't matter. His parents are my parents, and I can raise him together. I will be the leader of the clan in the future and can afford to raise him."
Xie Yunzi didn't expect that Zhong Lan would be so thick-skinned and even try to covet her nephew.
She seemed to have remembered something and said: "By the way, do you have that secret color porcelain at home? It is said to be very beautiful porcelain!"
"Can you give me a few? My father always wanted to buy secret-color porcelain before he was alive, but no one would sell such precious porcelain to us at that time."
Most of the secret-color porcelain that Xie Yunzi brought to the palace has been harvested by Zhu Yaer. The remaining ones are all her favorites. She is reluctant to take them out and use them. She only tastes them occasionally. Let her give them to her.
Zhong Lan, this is undoubtedly cutting into her heart.
She forced a smile and said, "The secret-colored porcelain in my hand was either given away or accidentally broken. I am in the palace, and it is not easy to send news home."
Zhong Lan looked regretful, "Well, I thought the Xie family didn't lack anything."
Xie Yunzi had a subtle feeling of being ridiculed, but looking at Zhong Lan's innocent appearance, she probably thought too much.
She really doesn't like this so-called outspoken girl.
Xie Yunzi soon wanted to go back on the grounds of headache. Zhong Lan was very concerned, "Empress Hui, you don't seem to be in good health and you often have headaches. Is it because the imperial doctors in this palace are not good at medicine? I have medicine here to treat headaches and brain fever.
You take some back."
Xie Yunzi's face changed greatly. She had heard that the Xi people like to use voodoo insects as medicine. Their medicine even contains insect feces.
Just imagining it made her hair stand on end, let alone the entrance.
Xie Yunzi didn't care about her appearance and left in a hurry, her back looking like she was running away.
Zhong Lan still had a sweet and charming smile on her face.
Speaking of which, she can successfully serve as the clan leader this time, thanks to the help of the Xie family. She will send more medicine to the Xie family when the time comes. I hope they need to take medicine every day.
…
Since Zhong Lan was elected as the clan leader, she no longer lives in the side hall of Changqiu Palace, but instead lives with the eldest princess.
In order to keep a low profile, Su Yueling did not go into the palace to chat with her, so as not to irritate some people's nerves.
However, Wu Shu who was beside her went into the palace to help the eldest princess comb her hair into a bun, and stayed in the palace for a while to personally teach the maids around the eldest princess some makeup and buns.
Everyone only thought that Wu Shu was brought by Su Yueling to honor the eldest princess, and they did not know that Wu Shu had a private relationship with Zhong Landuo.
Zhong Hongmeng and other elders reacted greatly to the fact that Zhong Lan was elected as the clan leader.
Over the years, the Xi tribe has had no patriarch, and there is no one above them, so the power of the patriarch is controlled by the elders. Zhong Hongmeng originally thought that with the help of the Xie family, the position of patriarch would be a natural one, but he never expected that he would be given the title of patriarch by Zhong Lan.
He grabbed it and was so angry that he almost passed away. What made him particularly confused was that he and the Xie family had always cooperated well, so why did the Xie family abandon him and choose Zhong Lan?
He wanted to come to complain to him, but he couldn't even get through the front door of Xie's house.
Previously, he had some value, so he could naturally become a guest of the Xie family. Now that he has lost his value, he is abandoned like a piece of shit.
He couldn't see the Xie family, he couldn't see Zhong Lan, and he couldn't find Zhong Zi. Zhong Hongmeng gritted his teeth and went to the other elders, intending to persuade everyone to work together to isolate Zhong Lan. He said earnestly: "We can't just sit back and wait for death. It's difficult.
Are you really going to have to submit to the control of a little girl who doesn’t know anything?"
Zhong Ao said: "I don't accept it, but this is the emperor's decree. Do you want to resist it?"
If Zhong Hongmeng had the courage, he would not go to them and encourage them to come forward.
Another elder said: "I heard that Zhong Lan is very fond of the Queen Mother. If she becomes the clan leader, it will also be good for our Xi clan. I have already received the news. We don't need to buy salt at high prices in the future."
He took a sip of tea and looked satisfied.
Zhong Hongmeng's eyes fell on the cup in his hand and said, "Where did you buy this cup?"
Elder Zhong Gouheng held a glass cup in his hand. This cup was different from any other glass cup he had ever seen. It had irregular lines on it, like layers of ice, giving it an indescribable cold beauty.
Zhong Gouheng showed a somewhat proud expression, "I didn't buy this cup, it was a gift from the clan leader. I have a complete set over there. Only nobles and nobles can buy such cups."
Zhong Ao said: "The set I received is different from yours. It has a gradient color. When you pour wine into it, don't mention how beautiful it looks."
These elders exchanged the gifts they received, looking quite satisfied. After they arrived in the capital, the Xie family's words were nice, but they only gave them silks, satins and jewelry. Nothing could compare to such a gift.
A complete set of glassware. Especially when I heard that even the rich and powerful in the capital had to queue up to buy this kind of glassware. They felt like they were becoming masters.
Zhong Hongmeng was shocked, "Why do you all have them?"
Then he looked lost and asked, "Am I the only one who doesn't?"
After all, he was still Zhong Lan's biological uncle, but Zhong Lan didn't even leave any money for him.
Zhong Gouheng stood up and patted his shoulder, "I think it's good for the saint to be the leader of the clan. As an uncle, you think about bullying the juniors all day long."
"Yes, if you were the clan leader, would you be able to do this?"
Everyone exchanged words with each other, and then agreed to go to the most famous restaurant in the capital for dinner together.
Zhong Hongmeng looked at their harmonious appearance and realized later that he seemed to be isolated?
