During this year's palace excerpt, Emperor Chunqing left several beauties herself, and Empress Xie also selected two beauties for the third prince, King Xuan, who was remembered in her name, to show her maternal care for King Xuan.

Xiangyun is one of these two beauties.

She had never seen King Xuan before, and she didn't know what King Xuan looked like.

Last year, Miss Xu's father, Shangshu Xu, finally remembered that he had a daughter in his hometown Xuzhou Prefecture, and sent someone to take her back to the capital. The person who picked her up was Madam Jing, the confidant of Madam Lu, who was Madam Jing who brought her to the nunnery. Madam Jing learned about the method of testing her from the owner of the nunnery and stabbed her all the way. Fortunately, Xiangyun did not answer a single word wrong.

Xiangyun dared not answer wrong.

If she was wrong, she might be given an excuse by Madam Jing to continue to send her to the nunnery, or she would directly take her life. No Xiangyun could bear these two consequences. Even if she was alive, she still had hope to escape from the cage that the master and servant of the Lu family had covered her. If she died, she would suffer all the sins of the previous few years.

Without the answer, Xiangyun also wanted to "thank" to the nunnery for the training method. Even though she remembered who she was and remembered that she had an older brother named Zhao Yanping, answering those questions correctly had become her instinct. Whether it was Madam Jing or Lu who came to slap her in person, Xiangyun answered them smoothly.

In this way, Lu felt relieved and threatened her, allowing her to move into the Xu Mansion as Xu Wanyi, a eldest girl from the Xu family.

The maids around her are all Lu's confidants, who are responsible for supervising her every move.

In order to satisfy Lu, if Lu is satisfied, she will not punish her for no reason. Xiangyun lives like a piece of wood. Xu Shangshu and the young girls of the Xu family talk to her first, and she will answer whatever she asks, otherwise she will not say a word. Even if she returns to her room, Xiangyun will not ask about anything with the two maids around her, and she will never try to win over these two people.

After a long time, Xu Shangshu forgot about her unpopular eldest daughter. The second girl who almost drowned when her sister-in-law fell into the water and drowned, was reluctant to find trouble for a piece of wood.

Xiangyun was actually very satisfied with this kind of life. When she was in a nunnery, the lord slaughtered her at least three times a day. If she was in a bad mood, she would come a few more times. After entering Beijing, because she was obedient enough, Lu only asked Madam Jing to interrogate her once a day, and she would not have to be slaughtered when she answered her fluently.

The palace is about to have a talent show, and the second girl of the Xu family is not among the candidates at a young age. Lu didn't want her to enter the palace, but she was afraid that she would do something too obvious and would not do anything. She only told her that if the fake Xu family's legitimate daughter was exposed, she would be the first to lose her head, and even the eighth generation of her ancestors could be dug out and punished with her.

Xiangyun didn't want to die, and she didn't want her brother to die by her. When she was a show girl, she continued to be like a wood, but for some reason, she actually caught the Queen's eyes.

The Lu family did not expect this result, but the order was given, and the Lu family could not change anything. While continuing to threaten Xiangyun to conceal his identity and not cause trouble for the Xu family, she unwillingly prepared a dowry for her. Although she entered the Xuan Palace as a concubine, she was also the daughter of the Shangshu. She was considered a noble concubine. The dowry was shabby and the Xu family was lost.

It rained the day when Xiangyun entered the palace.

The auspicious day has been decided long ago and cannot be changed because of a rain. When Xiangyun was wearing a coral-red wedding dress and getting on the sedan chair, she heard someone say it was unlucky.

It seems unlucky to rain on a good day.

Xiangyun's heart was also deep. She was afraid that King Xuan would see that she was a fake official daughter, afraid that King Xuan would punish her crime of deceiving the king, and afraid that King Xuan would not kill her enough, so she also wanted to find out her brother Zhao Yanping, who had long forgotten her appearance.

Lu bought two maids again and went with her dowry. The two maids' contracts for selling their bodies were in the hands of Lu and would continue to be loyal to Lu. However, they only understood Lu's dislike of her as Xu Xian's dislike of the original daughter. They knew nothing about the Xu family's old affairs and would not reveal their feelings. As long as Xiangyun kept the secret himself, she could do so.

At dusk, the sedan chair entered through the side door of Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

After the sedan chair landed, Xiangyun wore a veil and was helped by the little maid into her yard, went into the inner room and sat down, waiting for King Xuan to come.

Just take a concubine, and today I held a small banquet for the Prince Xuan’s mansion. Because it rained, the banquet dispersed very quickly and King Xuan came quickly.

Listening to the sound of footsteps gradually approaching, Xiangyun nervously grabbed the hem of her skirt.

Last night, Lu asked Madam Jing to give her a booklet. Xiangyun read it and knew what was going to happen next, so she became even more nervous.

She is afraid of needles.

Although Xiangyun knew that the man in the booklet did that kind of thing, she felt that the drawing was like that, and she was afraid.

King Xuan came to the newcomer.

He married the princess at the age of fifteen. Before the marriage, Empress Xie arranged for him to serve the palace maid. Shortly after the marriage, the princess became pregnant, and the princess gave him two maids. After the prince was born, Empress Xie gave him a concubine Zhang and rewarded him. King Xuan was favored one by one, and King Xuan was also familiar with the tension and anxiety of the woman on the wedding night.

But he is the prince, and he doesn't have to pity anyone.

Everyone has their own fate. Before they can't be unscrupulous, they can only accept their fate.

He lifted Xu's veil with an expressionless face.

The veil fell down, revealing a face with light makeup, its eyes as peach blossoms as dew, and its color is as beautiful as peony in the rain, which is beautiful and lovely.

King Xuan looked at her a few more times.

He had already asked someone to check the situation of Xu. The wooden beauty of Xu Shangshu's family was not favored by her father and stepmother since she was a child. She was only taken back to the capital last year. She was very beautiful, but she was dull and unpleasant. This was probably the reason why Queen Xie was able to like her. It not only demonstrated her mother's care for the prince, but also did not let Xu's fox fascinate the master and threaten the princess' status.

Wood beauty.

King Xuan's eyes fell on her nervous and trembling hands. It was so wood, how could he be so scared?

"Have you used it?"

King Xuan sat down beside the bed and asked.

Xiangyun never dared to look at him and nodded stiffly.

King Xuan nodded and called out: "Come here to make a come and give me a robe."

No matter how afraid Xiangyun was, she did not dare to disobey the orders of the prince and her husband. She stood up first and then came to the prince who was two steps away. He was so tall that he was not much shorter than her when he sat. She quickly glanced at his face, Xiangyun lowered her eyelashes, bent over, and clumsyly unbuttoned his collar.

The little girl's breathing was faintly fragrant. When she served him tremblingly, King Xuan looked at the beauty in front of her casually. The golden strides between her black hair swayed back and forth with the movements. Her long eyelashes were hanging densely. She was too nervous, and thin beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, and her red lips were unconsciously pursed.

The wine and sex were intoxicating. King Xuan suddenly became interested and hugged her waist and walked towards the bed.

Xiangyun screamed and fell on the brocade quilt. Her hair was shaking, and her cloud bun was loose, making it even more beautiful.

King Xuan was in high spirits tonight, and he didn't understand why he was flirted with such a legendary wooden beauty. But she was really good enough. At first, she wanted to push him, but when he looked at him, she stopped moving. King Xuan was satisfied with her obedience, but King Xuan soon discovered that if she didn't cooperate, he couldn't accomplish anything.

King Xuan had never encountered any situation.

He looked up and saw that the beauty had her eyes closed tightly, her face as white as paper, and her hands were holding the quilt beside her, trembling.

What about having fun in bed?

King Xuan was disappointed in an instant, but he suddenly realized that she had no biological mother. The wife of Shangshu raised her into a wooden beauty, which shows that she was not a good stepmother, and probably wouldn't tell her anything to her and tell her the wonderful things about this.

No matter how good the stepmothers do their face work, they are not kissing them. They will not care about what their children really need.

King Xuan never pity any woman, but tonight I want to give the wooden beauty of the Xu family a little pity.

He lay down beside her, pulled up the quilt, and hugged the shaking beauty in his arms.

Xiangyun is still shaking.

"No one has taught you how to serve the bed?" King Xuan gently stroked her shoulder and asked in a low voice.

Xiangyun didn't know if the booklet last night was considered to be Lu's teaching her, but the prince asked this, so she nodded, hoping that he would not punish her for what she had just learned.

"How old is this year?" King Xuan continued to ask, diverting her attention.

Xiangyun said: "It's fifteenth."

In fact, she is sixteen years old, but the eldest daughter of the Xu family is fifteen.

King Xuan remembered that he was only fifteen when he was married, and having sex with Princess Xie was a errand for both of them, and there was no fun.

King Xuan didn't want the ignorant little beauty in her arms to deal with him with that mood.

"Do you have any preferences when you are at home?"

A sentence or two could not make her forget his recklessness and roughness just now. Lu, King Xuan was very kind to induce him.

Xiangyun has no preferences, at least after becoming a big girl from the Xu family, she is not qualified to have any preferences.

"I like reading." That was the only way she could pass the time.

King Xuan asked her again what books she had read.

Xiangyun lived in a nunnery for a long time and read the most scriptures, and she could even memorize some scriptures.

However, when the prince asked, Xiangyun talked about the "Female Ring" and "Female Virtue" she read after coming to the capital. King Xuan was not interested in this and asked her how the female girl was. When Xiangyun heard this, she calmed down and shook her body again.

She doesn't know how to use a girl, and her whole body hurts when she sees the needle. Even Lu gave up letting her learn. She was afraid that her abnormality would attract attention, so she asked the bottom line.

Shaking her head, Xiangyun lied and said, "My female red girl is very bad."

King Xuan understood that the Lu family was really mean, and even the girl whom all the ladies could learn from did not teach her.

After some conversation, King Xuan had a very bad impression of the Lu family, and at the same time he also took his anger on the beauty's father, Shangshu Xu. If Shangshu Xu was strict enough in his family, how could Lu dare to treat the legitimate daughter who was left by his original wife so harshly?

Because of his sympathy for the beauty, King Xuan was not in a hurry to meet her tonight, patted her on the shoulder and whispered: "Go to sleep."

The fragrance clouds feel relieved.

There was a court meeting the next day, and King Xuan got up before dawn to court.

Xiangyun saw the prince away, but after returning to the room, she couldn't sleep anymore. She sat on the bed and recalled last night, and didn't know very well whether the prince was angry with her.

As soon as the sky was dawn in the morning, Xiangyun was going to pay her respects to the princess tea and greet her.

Xiangyun didn't even know the prince's past, nor did she know what Princess Xuan's background and temperament were. No one reminded her. When she arrived at the princess, she looked up and saw a woman sitting on the main seat who looked older than the prince's face. Xiangyun was shocked and was unprepared, and the surprise was written on her face.

The princess looked as usual. Concubine Zhang, who was sitting beside him, raised her veil, covered her lips and smiled. The other three concubines looked hard to tell.

Xiangyun was not well educated in the Xu family. She learned a lot of rules in one month after entering the palace to run for election. Realizing that she had made a mistake, Xiangyun recovered her respectful expression in time, knelt on the cushion, and paid tribute to Princess Xuan in a regular manner.

Princess Xuan had no King Xuan in her heart, and she was not interested in these women in the royal palace. Today, it was purely because of etiquette, and she would not have seen this new beauty, Xu.

After drinking Xiangyun's tea, Princess Xuan said lightly: "I feel uncomfortable and don't like to disturb you. From now on, you come to me to pay tribute. You usually stay in your own yards without any trouble. I am not in the spirit of taking care of you, but if someone breaks the rules, it will make the jealousy of the house. Once the evidence is conclusive, I and the prince will definitely forgive me."

In his faint words, there is the majesty of a dignified princess. Xiangyun trembled and kowtowed, swearing that he would abide by the rules.

"Well, I will serve the prince with all my heart."

"yes."

After the tea ceremony, Princess Xuan was about to go to rest and asked a few women to leave.

Xiangyun led his maid Zhishu to follow Concubine Zhang and the three concubines in front of him.

After leaving the princess' yard, Concubine Zhang looked back at Xiangyun for a moment, and chuckled: "The little face is so cute, but unfortunately it is a piece of wood."
