"What, what, why are you asking so many questions. You suddenly disappeared and reappeared suddenly. I haven't asked you what. Where have you been these past few years? How did you come to Beijing to find me?"

Shen Qingmo ignored her question, just stared at Xiao Xueqiong and looked again and again, frowning and asked Li Yuerong: "Is it the emperor's intention to accept a concubine, or Zhao Xu's intention?"

"All of them." Li Yuerong didn't really want to mention this matter, concubines and concubines, this word made her involuntarily think about Xiao Xueqiong's appearance when she really married a woman one day, and always felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"Are you and Zhao Xu..." Shen Qingmo asked tentatively.

"No, it's very good, you are a girl, why do you ask so many questions. Why don't you tell me quickly, where are you from, and why are you here?" Li Yuerong replied firmly.

"What is there to say? I fell in love with a man. I stayed with him for two years. I fell in love with him for a long time and parted ways. I heard that my senior sister got lucky and became a princess, so I came here. Senior sister won't despise me, right?"

Xiao Xueqiong was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped, this woman is really... bold.

Li Yuerong wanted to slap herself, but she knew that Shen Qingmo couldn't say anything good, so she quickly said to Xiao Xueqiong: "A good boy must not learn from her!" Seeing Xiao Xueqiong nodding her head like a pest, she felt relieved.

The corners of Shen Qingmo's lips curled up, a little contemptuous.

"The son-in-law's mansion is also spacious, so it's no problem if you want to live, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. It's just that today is different, so please don't cause trouble for me." Li Yuerong felt that it is better to clarify some things first.

"It's natural. Not only will I not cause trouble, but I can also share the worries of my senior sister."

"That's not necessary, let's be at ease, and don't wade into the muddy water."

Shen Qingmo smiled, noncommittal.

The carriage stopped in front of a big house. The door of this house opened directly from the wall of the square. The gate was built in a spacious manner, with a row of guards holding halberds standing on both sides.

Shen Qingmo jumped out of the car first, followed by Li Yuerong. Naturally, she didn't forget to help the "delicate" Xiao Xueqiong after getting off.

"This will be your home from now on." Seeing Xiao Xueqiong hesitated, Li Yuerong took her hand and walked inside while talking.

An unfamiliar mansion, an unfamiliar face, because of Li Yuerong's words, Xiao Xueqiong felt inexplicably at ease.

"Ma'am, you are finally back." The three of them met Xiaodie who hurried over in the corridor. Xiaodie was obviously a little surprised when she saw Shen Qingmo walking in front. Xiao Xueqiong, who was behind Li Yuerong, saluted respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Li Yuerong asked.

"Miss Xu's family has been waiting for you for a long time, and now I have to leave."

"Sister Ci Bing? Why is she here?" Li Yuerong quickened her pace.

Xiao Xueqiong was powerless when she heard the words: Sister Xueqiong, Sister Qingmo, and Lu Weishuang who didn't know if it was a sister or a younger sister, now there is another sister Cibing, sister Yuerong, how many younger sisters do you have?

"The servant girl asked tentatively, but Miss Xu only said that she must see you in person. If she can't see you today, she will come back another day."

"I see, this is my junior sister, you take her to the guest room to fix it."

"Yes."

Walking to the end of the veranda, Xiaodie led Shen Qingmo to another direction.

"Then what about me?" Xiao Xueqiong asked in a low voice, following behind Li Yuerong.

"You? Come with me to meet our future sister-in-law." Li Yuerong shook the hands they held tightly in a good mood.

Us? Sister-in-law? Xiao Xueqiong feels that she seems to be in a better mood.

"Sister Cibing." Li Yuerong walked into the hall, just as Xu Cibing was about to stand up and say goodbye.

"Sister, you're back, I've been waiting for a long time." Xu Cibing and Li Yuerong were congenial, but after seeing each other a few times, they were as affectionate as playmates, and they didn't behave like a king or minister, so Li Yuerong naturally didn't care.

"Why did you come here suddenly, and you didn't make any advance notice? Fortunately, today was a good time, or didn't you miss out?"

"I told my family that I made an appointment with my little sister to see calligraphy and painting, so I came here secretly. How can I make an appointment in advance?" Xu Cibing pouted, and her fleshy, pink and tender face was even more round and bright, However, when Xiao Xueqiong saw her for the first time, she felt that this young lady was really cute and amiable.

"Huh? Who is this little sister? Wait, don't tell me, let me guess...it's Princess Linchuan from the previous dynasty, the one who is going to be your concubine now, right?"

"You are very well informed." Li Yuerong said while beckoning the two to sit down, and ordered the servants to serve tea.

"Spirituality is not considered, General Zhao enjoys the blessings of Qi people, and the dignitaries in Beijing don't know about it."

After Xu Cibing finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Xiao Xueqiong: "Little sister, although you are also a princess, you are from the previous court after all, so you don't count. Princess Zhaoyang has a kind heart, you have to be obedient and serve her carefully."

Seeing Xu Cibing tilting his head and teaching Xiao Xueqiong in a decent manner, Li Yuerong couldn't help laughing: "Xueqiong is the most sensible person in the world, you don't need to worry about these things, why don't you tell me why you came here today? Why are you still here?" Want to hide it from the family?"

"Well, it's like this... I heard that if a man and a woman have not met before they get married, the woman must make a token for the man by herself, so that the two will be in harmony after marriage, and after reincarnation , and meet each other again."

Li Yuerong stroked her temples: "Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it, Xueqiong, have you heard of it?"

"I heard from the nanny in the palace that there seems to be some." In fact, Xiao Xueqiong had never heard of it.

"Okay, do you want me to transfer things to Ake?" Li Yuerong asked Xu Cibing.

The other party smiled sweetly, and said a little shyly: "Well, I showed you a sachet, please pass it on to His Royal Highness King Qin."

"Aren't you not good at female celebrities?" Li Yuerong had just finished speaking when she saw Xu Cibing's little hands wrapped with many cloth belts, and there were mixed feelings at the moment.

"I learned it in a hurry, I hope His Highness won't dislike it." Xu Cibing took out a small brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Li Yuerong.

"How could it be? He must be too happy." Li Yuerong took it with both hands, but a small box made her feel heavy. Let the princes get married earlier, have your parents mentioned it to you?"

"Well, I said it before, that's why I'm locked up at home every day to prepare for marriage. I wish I could be proficient in housekeeping and accounting, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the past few months. I said I would come to play with you. I was scolded, saying that I don’t know how to avoid suspicion.”

"It's so annoying. I really want to get married tomorrow without listening to their nagging." Xu Cibing's face was full of depression.

Li Yuerong was amused by her childish words, and after chatting for a while, Xu Cibing left, and Li Yuerong and Xiao Xueqiong sent her to the sedan chair parked at the west side gate.

In order to let Xiao Xueqiong get acquainted with the Concubine's Mansion as soon as possible, Li Yuerong took her to take a long way back.

"My sister's house is big, but there are not many people." Xiao Xueqiong looked left and right, many rooms were locked, and there were few maids and servants.

"Yeah, these houses are empty. I used to live in such a big place with my son-in-law. Now that you are here, and Qingmo is added, it will be more lively. In a few days, the son-in-law's parents will also come from Pingzhou. Come here, another group of people will live in."

"The parents of the son-in-law?" Xiao Xueqiong's heart pounded. General Zhao's parents, wouldn't they be equivalent to his uncle?

"Yes, you don't need to worry. I let them live in Fuluyuan, which is far away from where we live. It's good for you to follow me occasionally to say hello."

Xiao Xueqiong felt relieved, and asked again: "Do I live in the same courtyard as my sister?"

"Yes, there is a small bed in the compartment of my room, you live there first, so I can rest assured."

Li Yuerong originally planned to let Xiao Xueqiong live alone in the east wing, but although Zhao Xu is reliable, he is a man after all, if he got drunk that day, who knows if he will be so stubborn and a tyrant will force his bow? Xiao Xueqiong's status as a concubine was determined by the imperial decree, so she will be really dumb and suffering, and it's hard to say if she suffers.What's more, Li Ke would come here every now and then, and mostly lived in the west wing. It would be bad if Xiao Xueqiong noticed something. After thinking about it, Li Yuerong felt that it was better to let Xiao Xueqiong stay under her nose to be at ease.
