Chapter 496 The damage of contrast

When Mrs. Zhen saw this, he looked at Mrs. Xie and joked with a smile: "What I admire most about my sister-in-law is that after being married for so many years, she can still control her eldest brother so well."

Mrs. Zhou echoed: "That's right. Now that my sister-in-law has five children, she still gives her concubines a shelter. My eldest brother really dotes on you. If you were the third son of our family, huh! You would have fallen out with me long ago.

"

After hearing what her two sisters-in-law said, Ms. Xie sighed slightly, stroking her belly and replied: "Let's see, after giving birth to this baby, I will stop using the two honest soups to avoid the baby."

Mrs. Zhou chewed the melon seeds carefully and sighed: "It's true that we have different fates. My sister-in-law has been married for so many years. Except for her own children, there is not a single concubine in the yard. Take a look at my house.

Haha, those maidens are really more fertile than rabbits, one after another, I, my aunt, can hardly tell them apart."

Mrs. Zhen also echoed: "Isn't that right? My sister-in-law is still good at chauffeuring her husband."

Mrs. Xie smiled faintly when she heard this, then looked at her two sisters-in-law and said, "If the charioteer is said to be wise, it must be our family in Pingyang."

Saying that, Ms. Xie looked at Pingyang and asked: "I heard from my mother-in-law that there is not even a concubine in my uncle's room now. Tsk tsk, it is really rare for my uncle to be like this in a high-ranking family like the Duke's Mansion."

When Mrs. Zhen heard this, she said curiously: "Pingyang, what my sister-in-law said is true. Doesn't it mean that my uncle doesn't want to accept the beauty? Is it because you are so careful that he doesn't dare to do it?"

"What are you talking about, second sister-in-law? Our Pingyang is not that kind of person." Mrs. Zhou said angrily.

Pingyang took a sip of tea and replied cheerfully: "It's not what you said. He also had a concubine in the early years, but later the concubine died of illness and she still left a daughter."

"Oh my, that's rare enough. Our uncle is the son of the eldest princess Fu Xi. It's really rare to be so clean and self-possessed."

"Isn't that right? Our uncle is indeed the person that our grandmother and mother-in-law like. He is really someone who can be entrusted to us."

"Haha, our family is lucky enough to have such a good husband."

The three sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law gathered around Pingyang and talked to each other, praising her for marrying a good husband.

Pingyang looked at his sisters-in-law and just smiled bitterly.

This may be due to different family environments. In the eyes of this group of women whose husbands all have concubines, a man like Li Xiang is an extremely rare husband.

She was used to her father and brothers having many concubines, so when Li Xiang told her about Jiao Xing before their marriage, Ping Yang thought it was just a trivial and innocuous matter.

However, when she later married into the palace and saw that the men in the palace, such as Li Ling and even Li Xian, were only devoted to their wives, Pingyang's mentality gradually changed.

Until Pingyang knew that Li Xiang actually loved Jiao Xing so deeply. In order to protect Jiao Xing, he did not hesitate to hide it from her. Even when she and Jiao Xing fell into the water at the same time and were dying, Li Xiang was able to abandon her.

It was only when she, the real wife, sacrificed her life to save Jiao Xing that Ping Yang completely gave up her heart.

In Prince Yong's Mansion, not to mention the other children, even the three direct brothers in Pingyang, none of them only favored his wife as much as the man in the Prince's Mansion.

Pingyang's eldest brother is already the best to his wife among the three brothers, but everyone in the palace knows that the crown prince's favorite person is his concubine Meng, who is the niece of one of Prince Yong's concubines.

She often lives in the house with her aunt, so she has a childhood sweetheart relationship with His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. However, the Meng family's identity is not as good as that of the Xie family, so she has to be a concubine.

Over the years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been very fond of Meng, but even though she knew that her husband had a crush on her, apart from not allowing her to have children, Xie was still able to live happily.

The Zhen family and the Zhou family also had countless concubines in their courtyards, and they were equally able to live as they were.

Pingyang looked at her sisters-in-law who were still able to talk and laugh happily when talking about the concubines. For a moment, she really wanted to ask them for advice.

How on earth can one cultivate to such a state that he doesn't even care when he looks at his husband being in love with the woman next to him.

The moon is above the willow branches, and the Milky Way is brilliant.

After reviewing the day's memorials, Li Ling left the Qinzheng Hall and was escorted by the chamberlain back towards the Jiaofang Hall.

Li Ling just stepped into the main hall and saw that his wife was not in the hall. He asked, "Where is the queen?"

Xiaohong, the palace servant who had worked hard to transfer to Jiaofang Palace, immediately stepped forward slowly and said with a pinched voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have gone to the side hall to play with Your Highness."

Li Ling entered the inner hall and was about to untie his dragon robe. Xiao Hong stepped forward diligently and said, "Your Majesty, let the maid serve you to change your clothes."

When Li Ling heard this, he subconsciously turned his head, glanced at the young palace attendant standing beside him, and replied calmly: "No need, I can just do it myself, you can go out."

Ziyun, Danzhu, Bilu and others were all away. Xiaohong finally had a chance to get close to the emperor, but Li Ling showed no mercy. Xiaohong whispered "yes" and then slowly bowed and left.

.

As soon as she exited the inner hall, she bumped into Ziyun returning.

Ziyun glanced towards the inner hall and asked: "Your Majesty is back?"

Xiao Hong quickly replied, "Yes."

Ziyun glanced at her and ordered: "Your Majesty never likes maids to serve in close proximity. From now on, when Your Majesty returns and enters the inner hall, there is no need to follow him."

Xiaohong raised her eyes and looked at Ziyun, pretending to be ignorant and said: "I don't know the rules. I just saw that my sisters are not here. I'm afraid there is no one to serve in the inner hall, so I am stepping in."

Ziyun nodded slightly and replied: "You are new here. It is understandable that you occasionally break the rules, but I want to tell you that except for the empress, His Majesty never allows any woman to serve closely. This is

, you must remember it firmly."

Xiao Hong nodded hurriedly and said: "Thank you sister for the tip, I will remember it."

Ziyun waved his hand and said: "Just remember it. It has nothing to do with you here. Just go down and rest."

Xiaohong bowed slightly towards Ziyun, turned around and left the Jiaofang Hall, heading towards her residence.

Xiaohong walked halfway and happened to meet Xiaoxiazi. Seeing her sad face, Xiaoxiazi stepped forward and asked, "Sister has gone to Jiaofang Palace as she wished. Did you do your job well?"

Xiaohong rolled her eyes at Xiaoxiazi and replied: "Do you still think that I really went there just to do hard work?"

Xiao Xiazi glanced at Xiao Hong's annoyed look and said with a smile: "How is it? I'm right, right? Even if you go to Jiaofang Palace and have the opportunity to get close to His Majesty, His Majesty will not care about you."

Xiaohong was feeling sullen because of the indifference the emperor had given her just now. When she heard this, she angrily said, "I've only been there for a few days, and if you curse me like this, the days ahead will be long. Just watch it."
