Chapter One Hundred
The Queen Mother had no intention of saying anything more, saying that she was tired and needed to rest.
The family of four, as if they had been granted amnesty, quickly resigned.
After leaving the Muxian Palace, Hua Hou held back his laughter all the way, and didn't laugh out loud until he arrived at Concubine Hua's residence.
Mrs. Hua was still holding her breath and pinched his arm hard.
Her difficult mother-in-law and two disgusting cousins-in-law, these three women brought her countless troubles.
If this man hadn't been so good, she would have regretted it for the rest of her life.
"Madam, madam..." Hua Hou smiled and begged for mercy.
Her parents, who were nearly fifty years old, were still as loving as when they were young. Concubine Hua felt indescribable envy in her heart, and tears gradually filled her eyes.
Let's grow old together together.
It's a pity that she has no chance of such happiness in this life.
She pulled Hua Xiaohan to sit next to her and said softly: "Little sister, you really scared the eldest sister just now. Fortunately, my aunt didn't really punish you."
Hua Xiaohan said disapprovingly: "She can punish her if she wants. Anyway, her methods are nothing more than those, either punishing her by copying books or punishing her by being a prostitute.
On weekdays, I am at home alone. In addition to practicing calligraphy, I also do embroidery and needlework. It doesn’t matter whether I am punished or not.”
"You little girl!" Concubine Hua pinched her cheek: "Everyone thought you were timid and weak, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful. My aunt was shocked just now."
"As the saying goes, the bold will be starved to death and the timid will be starved to death. If I were still as weak as before, would I still be bullied to death?"
Concubine Hua's hand paused slightly.
The little sister grew up under her nose. When did her way of speaking change?
Could it be that he was influenced by Mr. Huan San?
If this is true, it means that the younger sister did not choose to marry Mr. Huan San because of her reputation as a good friend, but she really wanted to marry him.
The father cooperated and acted out a play in front of his aunt.
As for the mother...
Besides acting, was she also involved by her father and Xiaohan?
"Little sister." She pulled Hua Xiaohan closer: "Eldest sister will not interfere in your marriage, but you must tell me, do you really like Mr. Huan San?"
Hua Xiaohan glanced at her mother and whispered: "Yes, but eldest sister..."
She put her mouth to Concubine Hua's ear: "Father finally coaxed mother into agreeing to this marriage, please don't betray me..."
Concubine Hua couldn't help laughing.
He is still a child after all.
The reason why her mother did not agree with her marrying into the Huan family was because she was worried that she would marry too far away and not marry well?
Now that the deal is over, the mother will only do her best to make her little sister live a good life. How can she become as angry as her aunt?
She asked again: "Then does he like you too?"
Hua Xiaohan's face turned slightly red: "He is a stupid person, and sometimes what he says can make people mad to death, but..."
Concubine Hua sighed softly. There are some things that don't need to be stated explicitly. Expressions are often more convincing than words.
She took Hua Xiaohan into her arms, and her thoughts went back to many years ago uncontrollably.
Her girlhood was undoubtedly a happy one.
Although both her father and mother are very busy, and my grandmother does things from time to time, her life is far calmer than that of other girls in noble mansions.
Girls in their cardamom years may not understand the relationship between men and women, but they are full of infinite longing.
She longs to meet a young man who is as talented, responsible, gentle, considerate and well-groomed as her father.
But before she could wait for that person to appear, the imperial edict that decided her fate arrived first.
She is about to become the concubine of the prince's cousin, and will share the same husband with her best friend.
His father had no concubines, and even though his mother failed to give birth to a brother for many years, he never thought of finding another woman.
Grandma made trouble for this reason countless times, but she never achieved her goal.
Growing up in such a family environment, Concubine Hua naturally longed for a marriage like her parents.
She never even thought about having a concubine in her life.
However, this imperial edict turned her into someone else's sidekick and turned her into a complete joke.
It is true that the status of the crown prince's concubine is equally noble, and no one dares to really treat her as a concubine, but she still cannot accept such a fate.
But what if you don’t accept it?
There is only one result of the struggle, and that is the complete collapse of Wenyuan Hou Mansion, and her death.
So she could only follow her aunt's wishes and became the concubine of the prince's cousin and the temporary mistress of the East Palace.
Concubine Hua Guifei and the prince's cousin had known each other since childhood, but they didn't have much contact with each other. Her impression of him was limited to his handsome face and good handwriting.
It wasn't until the two of them lived together that she got to know him better.
She was too naive at that time, and the prince, who had a gentle temper and good conversation, was soon regarded by her as the young man she had once admired.
However, the reality almost killed her...
"What are you two sisters whispering about?" Mrs. Hua sat next to them and asked curiously.
The two sisters woke up at the same time.
Hua Xiaohan rolled into her arms: "Mom, how can you whisper to others!"
Mrs. Hua patted her little butt: "Is this someone else?"
Concubine Hua said: "Mom, my little sister's marriage was arranged in a hurry, and it didn't look like it.
What are your plans with your father, and when will the elders of the Huan family come to Beijing to officially propose marriage?"
Seeing that her expression was as usual, Mrs. Hua did not doubt that he was there. She patted her little daughter and said, "Second Master Huan has already written a letter back to Tianshui County. It is estimated that the elders of the Huan family will come to Beijing after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
If two young masters get married together, the splendor will definitely be great."
Concubine Hua chuckled and said, "Mom never cared about these things, but now everything has changed for your baby."
Mrs. Hua glared at her: "Mom, you have worked hard for half your life, and it's not all for you three!
Xiaojiu is the princess, and His Majesty dotes on her so much, so the ostentation must not be too small.
Although we don’t dare to compete with her, we can’t be too shabby and make your sister suffer.”
Concubine Hua said helplessly: "Okay, everything is up to mother. I have also saved a lot of good things over the years. I will make a list when I return to Beijing. You can see which ones are suitable and add makeup to Xiaohan.
"
Mrs. Hua couldn't bear to brush her mind off and nodded in agreement.
Concubine Hua said again: "Mother, I heard that the two young masters of the Huan family are very outstanding. It's a pity that due to my status, I have never been able to meet them.
Now that my younger sister's marriage has been decided, I would like to find an opportunity to meet my brother-in-law."
"This..." Mrs. Hua was a little embarrassed.
The eldest daughter is not the master of the harem and must be extra cautious about many things.
"Mr. Huan San is a foreigner after all. It might not be convenient to bring him to your place."
