The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 172 Marrying the Princess

Villa, Zizhuxuan.

The leaves of the bamboo forest in the yard glowed with purple light under the faint warm sunlight.

After the hunting party ended, Concubine Huang immediately returned to the villa where she lived.

She had no interest in this kind of gathering, and if there hadn't been someone there, she might not have come.

Now that Nanxiang was not going, it would be boring for her to stay, so she went back as soon as the event was over.

But she was not so obedient and had already asked Luqi to go and inquire about Nanxiang's current situation.

Not long after, Luqi returned to the villa, exhausted.

As soon as he entered the palace, he was met with the sharp, scrutinizing gaze of Concubine Xian.

"Why did you take so long? It's already so difficult for me to ask you to do something now, isn't it? Don't forget that your brother only has two years to live, and now I am the only one who can save him."

Concubine Xian said in a proud tone.

Luqi tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with a look of half desire and half pleading.

"I know I was wrong! It's just that there are so many courtyards, and I got lost the first time I came here."

"There is no more chance."

"Would you like to tell me about the Concubine's condition today?"

"Your Majesty! Today, Wangpin went to the Imperial Concubine to ask for a birthday gift for Princess Yong'an, saying that Princess Xuan'er had stolen it. But in the end, she found the birthday jade pendant on Wangpin's maid. Unexpectedly, the Emperor saw this and was immediately furious, so he ordered Wangpin to be sent back to the palace."

At this time, Luqi's hair was a little messy. She walked through several courtyards and bumped into many people. She avoided them one by one, so she came back slowly.

"This Wang is still so stupid! It's better to send her back. She will feel more at ease now."

The virtuous concubine snorted coldly, her tone full of contempt.

"continue!"

Then she glanced at Luqi again.

"After that, I never heard what the imperial concubine did. She has been staying in the other courtyard and has never left. I heard from the eunuchs around the emperor that the poison has not yet been cleared."

Luqi lowered her head, with some panic in her eyes. If Concubine Xian saw her, she would definitely question her.

She didn't dare to look up, nor did she want to look up.

She also saw Lord Li on the road, and heard vaguely the news that Lord Li was meeting with the imperial concubine.

However, not many people knew this news, and she did not want Concubine Xian to know, so she concealed everything about Lord Li.

She has been with her brother for many years, so how could she not know who is good to her brother?

Lord Li and the Imperial Concubine must have something important to discuss.

Wen Yue Xuan, inner hall.

After Nanxiang and the two children finished their meal, they waited in the hall for news from Kikuhei.

She deliberately leaked the news of her meeting with Lord Li today to Luqi.

She wanted to see Luqi's reaction.

I hope it will have a good result.

After a while, Kikuhei came back and told Nanxiang the news that Luqi knew.

"How did Luqi react?"

Nanxiang picked up the teacup on the tea table, took a sip, and smiled.

"She was a little surprised! There was a touch of emotion in her eyes. She must be touched. She must know Lord Li."

Kikuhei recalled Luqi's reaction when she learned the news and told the truth.

"It's good to know. At least you're not stupid. You don't even know the one who wanted to save your brother."

"Send someone to continue observing Luqi's reaction."

……

It rains a lot in spring, with continuous rain. The weather, which was originally going to warm up, gradually cooled down again.

Two days later, when we returned to the palace after the hunting party, the ground was full of potholes, but the rain was not heavy.

Even so, when they returned to the palace, the soldiers and the general who led the way were all soaked.

The outer fabrics of more than ten carriages were soaked. Nanxiang felt a little cold along the way, and saw the prepared blankets covering the two little ones.

The fun of the past two days has finally dampened the enthusiasm of the two.

Last night things started to get a lot quieter.

If he really had enough fun, he would stop playing.

The news that Wang had slandered the imperial concubine and was caught in the act in the past two days had spread almost everywhere in the vicinity. Even Nan Xiang had heard about it, which showed that the influence of those female relatives was no less than that of the aunties at the village entrance.

That night, when Gu Junshen came to find Nan Xiang, he brought a piece of news, saying that the princess of the Northern Territory Anguo would enter the palace on the 26th, and asked Nan Xiang to make some preparations for the reception so as not to let the Northern Dynasty be accused of poor reception.

Nan Xiang agreed immediately after hearing this. If the princess entered the harem, she would be in charge of her, and she would naturally be the one to prepare for her reception.

She didn't have many complaints, but Gu Junshen looked reluctant, as if the princess's marriage was going to cost him his life, and he wanted Nanxiang to comfort him.

Nanxiang wanted to kick him immediately, thinking he was taking advantage of the situation.

……

Time passed in continuous rainy days, and soon it was April 26th.

The weather was just beginning to clear up, and the warm sun was casting its rays, bringing a warm breeze to the north.

Nanxiang had already made preparations for receiving the princess.

Of course, there is also the princess and Gu Junshen’s upcoming marriage.

At this time, Nanxiang was standing on one side in front of the palace, working with many concubines in the harem and ministers in the court to welcome the arrival of the princess.

There were special musicians playing music on both sides of the road from the palace gate to the front of the hall to welcome the guests.

Of course, the princess herself had to walk from the palace gate to the front of the palace, led by a special etiquette lady.

Behind the princess were several rows of dowry.

"Princess Xuan'an is here to see you!"

Liu Sheng shouted loudly towards the front, and the eunuchs passed the words on one after another.

After a while, extremely festive music was heard in front of the hall, and at the same time, a woman in crimson clothes slowly walked towards the hall, with light steps, graceful and dignified posture, and perfect manners.

Nanxiang caught a glimpse of the figure from afar and thought she was pretty good, a rare beauty. Her fair skin shone with a faint white glow under the sunlight, like a freshly peeled egg. She had a pair of big eyes that blinked as if they could speak.

Nanxiang also learned some information about this princess in advance. The princess's name was Chu Xingyao, the third princess of Anguo. She was eighteen years old, which was a good age for marriage.

If Anguo had not been defeated this time, the princess would have gotten married, and now she is qualified to be a princess married to a foreign country.

The next procedure was to meet the Emperor and then pay a visit to the Queen. However, the Queen had retired to another courtyard, so Nanxiang took over the task.

Looking at the fair-skinned and beautiful Princess Chu Xingyao in front of her at this moment, Nan Xiang had no other emotions. She just regarded her as a woman who was about to become Gu Junshen's concubine.

Nanxiang just asked a few casual questions about the situation on the road and his views on the Northern Dynasty Palace.

As Princess Anguo spoke, Nanxiang was surprised, because she spoke just like the people of the Northern Dynasty, without any accent, and even looked no different from the people of the Northern Dynasty.

Nanxiang couldn't help but think that perhaps many years ago, Anguo might have been one with the Northern Dynasty, but unfortunately it later split due to political reasons.

"Is the journey safe, Princess?"

"Thank you for your concern, Imperial Concubine! Xingyao is doing well."

Chu Xingyao bowed slightly and said softly.

"It's good to be safe! Now that you have come to the Northern Dynasty, just treat it as your own home."
