Chapter 270: Xie Ao

Facing Xie Ao, Yun Fenghuang was not so patient.

Although this is also a biological niece, the Xie family has always distinguished the nieces of the nieces, and Yun Fenghuang herself is the daughter of the nieces of the nieces, so she does not value the nieces of the nieces as much as the nieces of the nieces, let alone she has more nieces.

The reason why Xie Ao was able to be selected was purely because she was born by a concubine Ji, and she knew how to look at her face since she was a child, so she was able to hold back her temper at a young age, coaxing and holding Zhaoqing everywhere. Naturally, there is no need to pamper her, lest the child become too big-hearted to be respectful and flattering to Zhao Qing, causing Zhao Qing to come to her to complain.

Seeing that Xie Ao finished the salute and ordered the seat, he asked straight to the point: "Why doesn't Zhaoqing like Zhizhi? In front of my palace that day, Zhaoqing was not satisfied with Zhizhi?"

"My niece doesn't know much about going back to my aunt." Xie Ao said cautiously, "Zhizhi just came here, and I don't know my niece very well..."

Seeing Yun Fenghuang frowning, he became flustered, and hurriedly changed his words, "My niece has some guesses, but I just don't know if it's right."

"Just say what you want." Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "I will tell whether it is right or not."

Xie Ao said in a low voice: "It seems that Zhizhi said something bad about Sister Changsheng, and His Highness is not happy."

Yun Fenghuang was skeptical, and said: "Zhizhi is the daughter of the Wei family, how can she be so blind?" She could understand Wei Zhizhi's desire to seize this opportunity, after all, although the Wei family's lintel is much higher than the Xie family's, they are as close as Xie's family. The family has a common problem, that is, the population is thriving.

For such a large family, a thriving population is a good thing.

But for individuals, there are too many people, even if they are direct descendants, it is not so rare.

The children in front of the eldest son, the eldest daughter, etc., can still enjoy a little bit of glory, and the youngest children can also have extra love and affection from their elders, but a large number of children in the middle are often inevitably neglected.

Wei Zhizhi, the first daughter of the Wei family, is such an example. There are several brothers and sisters above, and younger brothers and sisters below. There is no problem with rich clothes and food, but they are not the ones her parents particularly favor. She is slack when it comes to her future.

This time was also lucky, I rushed Ouyang's family to break up with the imperial concubine, Ouyang Changsheng went home to complain of illness, and the imperial concubine hurriedly chose a girl from the Wei family. She was quite lively and sensible, Concubine De thought she was pretty good after careful selection, so she was chosen.

For Wei Zhizhi, this is of course a rare opportunity to stand out from her peers.

So it is not difficult to understand that this girl is hostile to Ouyang Changsheng. The problem is that she just came here and said bad things about Ouyang Changsheng... Isn't this number too low?

Xie Ao whispered: "Maybe... um... Maybe she didn't know that the peonies were planted by Sister Changsheng."

Yun Fenghuang took a deep look at her: "You tell me from the beginning!"

"..." Xie Ao bit his lip, and quickly looked up at her, seeing his aunt's expression was indifferent, staring at him sharply, there was no room for change in her eyes, she lowered her eyes, "Yes. Yesterday, Zhi Zhi was taken by the palace people to familiarize himself with His Highness's residence, saw a clump of peonies, felt that the peonies were not very good, so he said something that he didn't like about it, and His Highness heard it... and His Highness was very upset."

Yun Fenghuang asked patiently, "What did you say that you don't like?"

"...Zhizhi said that Peony looks rich, but it's really tacky."

"that's all?"

"that's all."

Seeing Xie Ao's nod affirmatively, Yun Fenghuang squinted her eyes and looked at her for a moment, seeing that although the niece was worried, she didn't have much guilt, she was just nervous, after thinking about it, she suddenly asked: "Zhizhi just said yesterday. Peony, nothing else? Why?"

Xie Ao opened his mouth and was about to speak when the noble concubine slapped the table abruptly and shouted sharply: "Tell the truth!!!"

"...Because...because my niece made a joke with her, saying that His Highness doesn't seem to like the peonies very much." Xie Ao shrank back in fright, his eye circles turned red quickly, and confessed, "Niece really It's a joke!"

Yun Fenghuang looked at her coldly: "Lie!"

Xie Ao finally cried out, knees softened and knelt down on the ground, choked up and said, "Auntie, forgive me! It's my niece... My niece doesn't like Zhizhi, so... I deliberately misled her!"

"Why?" Yun Fenghuang looked at her with a sullen face, "Zhizhi is not a self-willed person even though her family background is not low. Could it be that she offended you when she came here?"

This is unlikely, even if Wei Zhizhi doesn't think highly of Xie Ao's background, but before coming here, it is impossible for Concubine De not to explain to her.

If it lasts forever, the little girl's family can't afford it.

How could it be possible to be exposed so quickly?

"...Because when Sister Changsheng was around, His Highness liked her more than his niece." Xie Ao bit his lip and confessed with tears, "It's not easy for Sister Changsheng to leave, and this Zhizhi is just like Sister Changsheng who will make His Highness happy, niece ...My niece is afraid that His Highness will still like her more than my niece!"

Yun Fenghuang's face was ashen, but his heart felt weak for a while, no one of these one or two can rest assured! ! !

"You and Ouyang Changsheng were selected as accompanying readers, and you are my own niece! Zhao Qing likes Changsheng more than you, what is the reason why you don't look for your own problems?!" She hated iron and steel Scolding Xie Ao, "You know when you see the sky that you are targeting others. Don't forget that the emperor's heir has two companions to read the quota. You tricked Wei Zhizhi this time. What about next time? What about the next time? If you don't live up to your expectations, you will know how to fight in the nest. I don't know how to improve!"

Xie Ao burst into tears with aggrievedness, and said while crying: "Before coming, my family told my niece not to make His Highness angry! So my niece is holding His Highness everywhere, but... But after a long time, my niece is like the one in front of His Highness. Like the head of the court lady, Sister Changsheng and Zhizhi can talk to His Highness affectionately...My niece wants to know as much as them, but my niece just doesn't know...I can't learn well...Auntie, my niece is really very good. I put my heart into it, but nothing compares to Sister Changsheng and Zhizhi, niece... niece..."

She was sobbing and unable to speak.

Yun Fenghuang glanced at the side, Chen Jing twitched her lips, walked forward, and whispered in her ear: "Your Majesty, the young lady of the Ouyang family and the Wei family have a long history of family education, so although they lag behind His Highness in the school, after all The gap is limited, so His Highness is usually very willing to discuss homework with them. As for Miss Ao... Miss Ao may have misunderstood what the elders of the Xie family told her, to some extent...well, her mind is on how to please His Highness It's up, the course work is naturally lacking. The people around your highness who took the exam several times abruptly, Miss Ouyang's family can answer fluently, but Miss Ao is ignorant."

"..." Yun Fenghuang sighed, she knew that Chen Jing was saying this to save Xie Ao's face, but in fact, Xie Ao probably couldn't keep up with Zhaoqing's progress.

This is not surprising, after all, Xie Ao was selected based on the standard of being able to get along with Zhaoqing, not on the basis of being able to compete with the emperor's eldest daughter in terms of intelligence... and Xie's love for his children If there is no accident, the most important ones in cultivation are of course the eldest sons and grandsons of all parties; the second is the eldest son, and the third is the bastard.

After that, it will be the turn of the daughters-in-law.

As for the girls born out of concubines, it really only depends on the magnanimity of the aunts.

If you are lucky, if you are tolerant of your aunt, you may be able to enter the women's school with the aunts... But for the women's school, teaching the virtuous and virtuous women of every family is the key point, and the epic books are second .

What is Ke Zhaoqing's current coursework?

That was the school led by Wei Changkong, a rare six-song poet.

Even if the emperor's heirs are still young and can't learn too profound, but this class can be taught by the crown prince, let alone compare with Xie's female school, it is the eldest son and grandson of Xie's dedication to cultivate It's also treated like never before... It's not surprising that Xie Ao can't keep up.

If she can keep up, Yun Fenghuang will be surprised at the talent of his niece.

The tragic thing is that Zhao Qing, who Xie Ao followed, is the most qualified among Chunjia's heirs who have studied so far.

Gongxiang was born to be favored, and she developed a domineering temperament. She herself did not allow any siblings to surpass her, nor did she allow her companions to lose face.

On this point, Ouyang Changsheng and Wei Zhizhi, who came from aristocratic families, can both do it.

But Xie Ao clearly held back.

Zhaoqing has never complained about Xie Ao, nor said to drive her away, it is because Xie Ao's flattering intentions are for his cousin's sake.

But it's just keeping Xie Ao, it's impossible to like to be close to him.

Yes, Princess Zhaoqing and Chunjia are indeed their biological father and daughter. In their eyes, only those who can keep up with their footsteps are qualified to be their own people. Those who can't keep up, even if they are polite, they don't feel that they have any relationship with themselves. It's a gang.

"They are all little ancestors!" Feeling tired, Yun Fenghuang scolded Xie Ao sternly, told her to go back and think about it, and then ordered the Qing people to explain to Zhaoqing euphemistically, and asked Zhaoqing to keep Wei Zhizhi but It’s not like the kind that angered Xie Ao after knowing the truth, and at the end, he sighed with Chi E and others, “What kind of crime did this palace do? Isn’t it enough for me to worry about the affairs of the front and rear palace? How big is it, it's crazy to find something for this palace! Wait a few years for them to grow up, is it possible that this palace will not be able to survive this day?"

Chi E comforted: "My servant feels that His Royal Highness and Miss Ao need to worry about you because of their young age. After two years, when they grow up, don't they want to be considerate of you instead?"

Yun Fenghuang doesn't believe this at all, she has small thoughts at such a young age, and when she grows up, she will only want more.

As for caring for her... Yun Fenghuang thinks about herself, has she ever cared for Jiang Shi?

Maybe not……

On the contrary, this mother-in-law was quite worried...

Isn't that what it is? She herself was not filial and considerate when she was a daughter. Does she have that fate to enjoy the filial and considerate of her daughters and nieces?

Yun Fenghuang felt that it was better not to have too much hope, lest he be disappointed when the time comes.

"Let someone keep an eye on it, it's fine if the child is confused for a while, after all, she is my niece. But if she refuses to change after repeated admonitions, I will find fault with her, I will not let her go!" Squeezed her forehead , Yun Fenghuang sighed and ordered, "There are too many nieces in the palace, so it's not because of her!"

She doesn't need to order this point, and the people below will pay attention to Xie Ao in the future.

So after agreeing at this moment, he comforted Yun Fenghuang: "In fact, Miss Ao is just a child's jealousy. Once the empress is angry, she will recruit?"

Yun Fenghuang thought, that's because you don't know what children can do with jealousy, I am someone who has experienced it, and I won't take it seriously just because my niece is still young!

After entering the palace, she was able to win many battles because she was jealous of Xie Fenghuan when she was a child and accumulated a wealth of fighting experience!

"Let's not talk about this matter for now." Yun Fenghuang was a little tired, "Counting the time, Brother Eighteen will soon marry Cui's daughter. Would Zhaoqing want to join in the fun?"

She has worked so hard to raise these two children for these years, and now she should get some benefits.

For example, by arranging King Qin and Zhao Qing to attend Xie Xiaoyu's wedding, to emphasize Xie's imperial favor, so that after Xie Xiaoyu becomes an official, there will be less hindrance.
