With a sad look on her face, Shi Fuyin helped Mrs. Shi, who had cold hands and feet, to come out of Shoukang Palace, followed by Mrs. Dingguo and Xiahou Huanyan, who had complicated expressions.
Especially Mrs. Ding Guogong, she saw just now that An Guogong rushed into the hall in a hurry. The first thing he looked at was not the Empress Dowager, but Shi Fuyin!
This discovery made her angry and panicked.
What does this mean?
It shows that Duke An Guo has already been interested in Shi Fuyin!
Mrs. Dingguo Gong looked at Shi Fuyin who was walking in front, her expression was not very good.
Fortunately, she liked this girl quite a lot before. Although she grew up in the border area, she still knew the rules and she was willing to let her daughter get closer to her.
I thought she was a self-respecting girl, but I never thought that she had secretly been attracted to Duke An.
It’s true that you know people and faces but don’t know their hearts!
Mrs. Dingguo noticed that her daughter kept looking at Shi Fuyin, feeling a little angry and annoyed, so she pinched Xiahou Huanyan's arm hard.
This silly girl will soon become the laughingstock of the entire capital, yet she is so heartless.
"You are not allowed to have any contact with Shi Fuyin in the future!"
Although Xiahou Huanyan was in a bad mood at the moment, she did not blame Shi Fuyin: "Mother, don't blame Fuyin. Everything is the will of the Empress Dowager. Fuyin is very good at risking her life to refuse her marriage.
That’s it.”
Mrs. Dingguo glanced sideways at Xiahou Huanyan: "Is it because of you that she refused to marry? She doesn't want to be a concubine!"
Originally, a concubine is not worth paying too much attention to. After all, a prince has three wives and four concubines.
For the head wife, the concubine is nothing more than a place for the men to relieve their boredom and amuse themselves. If she becomes unhappy, she can either fight or sell her.
But if this concubine wins the man's favor, that's another matter.
If An Guogong had long been in love with Shi Fuyin, her family's life would not be easy even if Huanyan was his wife.
Previously, she and even the entire Duke Dingguo were very happy about marrying An Guogong. After all, An Guogong's appearance and character were one of a kind.
But now, she was really panicked when she encountered such a bad thing.
Xiahou Huanyan looked at Shi Fuyin in front of him: "Fuyin is already excellent. She can definitely marry into a good family and become a wife. Of course she doesn't want to be a concubine!"
Seeing that her daughter was still talking to Shi Funin, Mrs. Dingguo was really going to vomit to death: "How did I give birth to such a fool like you?!"
"You treat others so sincerely, but what about her?"
"You and An Guogong have just settled the matter, and this noble concubine comes to trouble you. It embarrasses you so much, and she doesn't come to apologize to you."
Xiahou Huanyan stopped talking.
In front, Shi Fuyin, as a martial arts practitioner, had stronger ears than ordinary people. She heard the conversation between Mrs. Dingguo and Xiahou Huanyan.
She had no reaction to this.
In her opinion, the apology that Mr. Dingguo said was completely nonsense.
Did she feel sorry for Xiahou Huanyan?
No!
The Empress Dowager pointed out that it was not her intention to accuse An Guogong, how could she be wrong?!
Mrs. Shi looked at the silent Shi Fuyin, thinking about the Empress Dowager's undisguised dissatisfaction just now, and her heart sank.
I hope Duke An Guo can appease the Empress Dowager!
Otherwise, once word spreads about Sister Yin's confrontation with the Empress Dowager, Sister Yin and other girls in the Shi family will no longer be able to marry into a good family.
On the way back to the Royal Garden, the four of them said nothing.
In Shoukang Palace, Xiao Ziqing looked at the Empress Dowager helplessly: "Auntie, I know you love me, but haven't I already promised you that I am willing to marry Xiahou Huanyan? Why did you call Miss Shi San here?
Are you in Shoukang Palace?"
The Empress Dowager glanced at Xiao Ziqing: "Didn't you say you like that girl?"
Xiao Ziqing had a wry smile on his face. When he told the Empress Dowager that he had a crush on her, he hoped that the Empress Dowager would be able to arrange a marriage between him and Shi Fuyin.
It's a pity that the Shi family failed to catch the eye of the Empress Dowager.
Now he is the only one left in Duke Anguo's mansion, and he needs a family that can help him.
Obviously, Dingguo Gong's Mansion is much better than Wuchang Bo's Mansion.
"If I had to wrong someone else's girl to be my concubine because of Ziqing's liking, and ruin someone else's life, then Ziqing would be guilty of a serious crime."
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager immediately darkened her face: "What nonsense are you talking about? It was Fuyin's blessing to be your concubine at that time, and you are a first-class Duke."
"Although Wuchang is an earl, the title is about to come to an end. As soon as old uncle Shi leaves, Fuyin will be the daughter of a seventh-grade deputy commander of the Army and Horses Division. The Ai family will not dislike her for humiliating you.
This is already an extra favor.”
Xiao Ziqing knelt on the ground with a pop: "Auntie, please look at Miss Shi San for saving Zi Qing's life. Don't embarrass her. Let her find someone to marry, and be harmonious and beautiful.
Live your life as your husband and your son."
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly: "If the Aijia hadn't thought that she had saved you, and that girl dared to contradict the Aijia, the Aijia would have punished her for the crime of disrespect."
"snort!"
"You are very generous. If that girl marries someone else, would you be willing to do it?"
She raised this child Ziqing, and he knew best what kind of temper he had. He seemed to be easy to get along with and easy to talk to, but in fact, it was difficult for outsiders to get into his heart.
Now that he finally has a girl he likes, of course she has to help him.
Xiao Ziqing clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "As long as Miss Shi San lives well, Ziqing is willing to give up."
The Empress Dowager looked at him: "When people meet the girl they love, they always try their best to get it. You stupid kid, why do you push it out?"
Xiao Ziqing lowered his eyes: "Because Ziqing knows that if Jin takes the third girl from Shi as his concubine, she will be unhappy for the rest of her life. Ziqing doesn't want to see her unhappy."
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager stopped talking. After a while, she said, "Let the Ai family think about it again."
Xiao Ziqing kowtowed again: "I must grant my request to my great-aunt. Ziqing will live a good life with Miss Xiahou, and will definitely protect the Anguo Duke's mansion."
There was water mist gushing out of his eyes. Xiao Ziqing blinked hard and forced the water mist back.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and asked Xiao Ziqing to retreat.
As soon as he left, the Empress Dowager sighed: "The Ai family is doing good for him, but he doesn't appreciate it!"
Eunuch Xia thought for a moment and said, "Gong An Guo is too kind-hearted."
The Empress Dowager did not agree: "That child has real feelings for the third girl of the Shi family. Otherwise, why would he not be willing to bear the injustice of this girl?"
"But he doesn't want to think about it. If the girl of the Shi family is not wronged, he will have to be wronged!"
The Empress Dowager sighed again, as long as there was someone in Anguo's palace who could help Zi Qing, there was no need for her to be this evil person.
At this time, a palace maid came in and said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager and Princess Yong'an went to the Buddhist hall and were kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, saying that they wanted to apologize."
The Queen Mother didn't have any reaction after hearing this, she just said a faint 'hmm'.
If Ziqing came to Shoukang Palace so quickly today, that girl must have tipped him off!
Princess Yong'an knelt in the Buddhist hall all night. At dawn the next day, Eunuch Xia let her go back to her room to rest.
"Princess!"
The palace maid Qiaoer carefully rolled up Princess Yongan's trouser legs, revealing two bruised knees.
Princess Yongan looked at it, her expression unmoved.
"Princess, this ointment was just given by Eunuch Xia."
Qiaoer carefully applied the ointment to Princess Yongan's knees.
Princess Yong'an glanced at the ointment and then looked away indifferently.
Qiaoer secretly looked at her princess' expression, her eyes full of pity.
The princess is so pitiful. Whenever An Guogong has trouble, the Empress Dowager will punish the princess.
A few years ago, she was poisoned by An Guogong, and her health was broken. She suffered from serious and minor illnesses, and she was unable to conceive for the rest of her life. In such a situation, what will her princess do in the future?
