Back in the courtyard, it was still the same mahjong room. After letting the servants prepare fruits, melon seeds and tea, the four of them each took a seat and sat down comfortably.
Watching inside is too boring, gossip is the best way to pass the time.
Princess Binghua and Qi Bao'er each took up the left and right sides of Ruandao. Princess Binghua sat cross-legged, ate a pastry and drank a glass of wine, and then asked Prince Li:
"Brother, do you remember that Xiao Xianqiao, the second daughter of the eldest son of the Xiao family, married the second son of Yi'an Bo?"
Prince Li didn't know who Xiao Xianqiao was. There were differences between men and women. It could be said that he didn't know the maiden names of almost all the women in the capital.
But when it comes to Mrs. Zhao Er Shao, Prince Li really remembers her.
It's not because he is so shameless about his wife, but because Yi'an Bo Mansion has a special status in Qilin Kingdom and has a close relationship with the royal family, so he can't help but pay more attention to it.
Except for Prince Min, the other members of the Xiao family were not very happy with their marriages. Only Mrs. Zhao, the Second Young Master, was considered a low-ranking concubine in a noble family in the middle of the capital. She was the daughter of a concubine.
The one she married was the second son of Yi'an Bo.
Not only that, people didn’t just lick their faces and get married, but Yi’an Bo’s house hired a matchmaker to get married, and Mrs. Zhao Ershao had nothing to do after four years of marriage. Zhao Dexuan, Yi’an Bo’s legitimate second son, had never received another marriage partner.
He took a concubine.
etc··
"I heard that the second young lady of Yi'an House is pregnant, could it be...??"
This, this is too...
Princess Binghua pursed her lips and nodded, feeling heavy in her heart and feeling sick.
I drank two cups of tea to suppress the nausea.
"Brother, you may not know that Sister Xianqiao was not raised in the capital. Mrs. Xiao is not a tolerant person. Sister Xianqiao's aunt passed away early. Sister Xianqiao was raised under Mrs. Xiao's name.
Because Sister Xianqiao was prettier than Miss Xiao, Mr. Xiao praised her a few more times, and Mrs. Xiao sent Sister Xianqiao to the Xiao family's hometown.
The person that Second Young Master Zhao was supposed to be engaged to at the beginning was supposed to be Miss Xiao. I should remember that Second Young Master Zhao was going to the border, and the Zhao family hurriedly arranged to marry Second Young Master Zhao in order to give him a wife.
"
Prince Li nodded solemnly. One general's success can lead to thousands of bones being withered. This kind of thing with the Second Young Master Zhao is not uncommon in the capital. People who have received the task of guarding the gates will get married as quickly as possible for them at home, just for the sake of maybe
Lucky to be able to stay behind.
"Miss Xiao didn't want to marry Mr. Zhao, probably because she was afraid that Mr. Zhao would never come back after he left, so they took Sister Xianqiao back to the capital. The civet cat exchanged for the prince on the wedding night.
Miss Xiao was replaced by Miss Xiaoqiao.
I don’t know what happened after that. Sister Xianqiao didn’t say much. I only know that the Yi’an Palace went to the Xiao family to change the marriage certificate. They only admitted that the person their family married was Sister Xianqiao. As for Miss Xiao, it seemed that she was
The two families have agreed to pretend that Uncle Yi'an's Mansion has not proposed marriage to Miss Xiao."
King Li Qun: It turns out that this is the truth that the second son of the dignified uncle married a concubine of the Xiao family.
"Second Master Zhao went to the border not long after he got married, and stayed at the border for three years. He returned to Beijing the year before last because of an injury to his leg...Second Master Zhao spent the last year recuperating from his injury, brother, you and me
I don’t know much about the Zhao family, but Mr. Zhao was seriously injured and was bedridden for half a year. Even now, his leg is still limping. It is said that a bone is missing inside and he will never recover in this life.
.
At the beginning of this year, Sister Xianqiao was found to be pregnant. Both Mr. Zhao and Sister Xianqiao were happy, and so were the others in Yi'an House.
I have seen it with my own eyes. Once we made an appointment to go shopping together, Mrs. Yi'anbo personally walked Sister Xianqiao to the door without worry. If I hadn't been there at that time, Mrs. Yi'anbo wouldn't have let Sister Xianqiao look at that attitude.
Go out."
Having said this, Princess Binghua pinched a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth in a unhappy mood, chewing it hard, as if she was venting some anger.
No one disturbed her among the other three people. They drank tea and ate melon seeds.
It's not that they have no empathy,,,well, it's just that they have no empathy.
No matter how cheerful Prince Li is, his identity is there, and what he sees and knows is beyond the reach of ordinary people. How can he be able to sympathize with others if he wants to?
Even the softest heart has been slowly hardened.
Qi Bao'er, this girl is a hard-hearted guy.
As for Daliang, he also heard too many misfortunes during one of his Miaopiao or Dupiao events, and was unknowingly taught by his sister.
Unlike Princess Binghua, who is overprotected, she is the truly soft-hearted one among the four people present. And listening to her words, you can tell that she has a good relationship with Xiao Xianqiao, so she will naturally be hurt by her.
.
Princess Binghua calmed down after eating several pieces of cakes, and continued: "Sister Xianqiao's accident occurred three months ago, during the birthday party of Concubine Xian in the palace. The emperor's grandfather has always disliked extravagance, so Xian
The concubine did not hold a grand celebration banquet, but only invited the wives of various prefectures to enter the palace to celebrate.
Sister Xianqiao was injured when her horse was frightened on the road that day when she left the palace."
There are many officials and military generals of third rank and above in the capital. If you ladies bring the young ladies with you, the number of people will be doubled or even several times longer, and the number of carriages will naturally increase accordingly.
Therefore, the streets in the inner city were extremely crowded that day.
Princess Binghua didn't know if Prince Yi'an had any suspicion about a sudden carriage startling a horse. Anyway, she had no suspicion at all. Not only she, but also her little sisters talked about it later.
They all just lamented that Mrs. Zhao Er was so unlucky.
With a long sigh, Princess Binghua lay on the table with her chin propped up with an annoyed look on her face.
"I should have suspected it earlier. How could it be such a coincidence? No one's carriage was in trouble, but the pregnant lady's horse was frightened.
When I went to see Sister Xianqiao, I tried to persuade her to be more open-minded. Now that I think about it, Sister Xianqiao had a strange look on her face at that time..."
Princess Binghua seemed to have thought of something. She still supported her chin and turned her head to look at her brother: "Brother, do you think Sister Xianxiao and the others are already suspicious?"
Prince Li put down his tea cup and said, "It is inevitable to have suspicions. According to what you said, anyone who is not too stupid will definitely suspect that there is something wrong with the incident of frightening the horse."
As for whether he has already suspected the Lord of Jing'an County, Prince Li thinks it is unlikely. He may suspect Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao.
After all, there is no grudge between the Lord of Jing'an County and Yi'an Bo Mansion and Mrs. Zhao herself.
This is what Princess Binghua is puzzled about. "I don't quite understand. Sister Xianqiao has been raised in the countryside since she was a child. She was not brought back to Beijing until one month before her wedding. Mr. Xiao's family does not live in the Prince's Mansion either."
Here, Sister Xianqiao probably had never met the Lord of Jing'an County before she got married. Normally, Sister Xianqiao and the Lord of Jing'an County would not have anything to do with each other.
What kind of hatred or grudge do you do such a bad thing?"
Mentioning the Lord of Jing'an County, Prince Li's face immediately turned cold, "It is better for them to decide this matter after informing them."
But no matter what, their eldest princess's mansion will be implicated to some extent this time.
