Chapter 148 Greater interests
After sending the queen away, Concubine Min finally sat down with Princess Kang. A maid came up carefully and whispered a few words in Princess Kang's ear. Princess Kang frowned and waved her hand to signal the maid to go down.
"Mother's wife... After leaving Shanyang Palace, Master Ning'an turned around and went to the East Palace." Princess Kang seemed to be angry. Xu Jinyan was really ungrateful. The mother personally invited her to Shanyang Palace and gave her enough face. What else did she want? Could it be that she still looked down on King Kang?
Concubine Min was not angry on her face, and she smiled and said, "Once in Shanyang Palace and once in the East Palace, she can be a human being and will not offend both sides."
"Mother, are we so shameless? If we really marry her, we might be in a mess in the future."
Concubine Min looked at Princess Kang with a little laugh and said, "It's not that good. She is a smart person. If she really gets married, she will definitely not step on your head."
Princess Kang was stunned. After thinking about the power of the General's Mansion, she endured it and said hesitantly: "Mother, the queen really wants to compete with us. So what side would Xu Jinyan choose?"
"The princess already has it. The prince can only give her the concubine, and naturally we only give her the concubine's position. In this regard, we and the queen can give Xu Jinyan. But the difference is that Yu'er is a young talent, while the prince is just a bag of wine. If the queen hadn't been holding on for the past few years, how could she still sit in her current position with the prince's pustules?"
Concubine Min paused and said, "But Xu Jinyan is very smart. She is watching now, so she not only came to Shanyang Palace today, but also did not refuse the invitation from the Crown Princess's East Palace. Neither side refused, that is, neither side agreed."
Princess Kang was shocked and said in an instant: "She looks like she is waiting for a price. Let's see who can give better conditions on both sides of us, but she is already a concubine. What else do she want?"
Concubine Min chuckled and said, "Don't worry, no one can replace your status as a concubine. Xu Jinyan's mind is enough. She would never dare to think of the position of a concubine. She just delayed the time now. After all, she agreed too early. For the other side that she did not agree, her face was too ugly. This is exactly what she is smart. I guess she already has an idea now, but she just dragged it and said nothing."
Princess Kang thought for a while and said, "Then do you think she would agree to that side?"
Concubine Min smiled and showed her determined gaze and said, "Of course it's our side."
—
"Of course, no one agreed."
Xu Jinyan sat in the carriage back home and ate a melon seed and answered Banxia's question about "whether side the prince and King Kang agreed to?"
Banxia was a little surprised. Although her mind was not as good as the lady's, she could also see the meaning of Concubine Min and Empress Zheng to her lady when they entered the palace.
The prince and King Kang were two people who could not even ask for anything. Now these two people were placed in front of the lady and let the lady choose. Banxia thought that no matter what, the lady would choose one, but she did not expect that the lady would refuse all without thinking.
Banxia was a little surprised. Just as she was about to say a few words, she suddenly remembered someone in her mind. In an instant, a mysterious smile appeared on Banxia's face.
Xu Jinyan saw Banxia's strange smile and was a little confused, so he asked strangely: "Why are you laughing at?"
"Miss... are you thinking about Lord Zhang, the Minister of Dali Temple?" Banxia smiled very maliciously.
Xu Jinyan was originally eating melon seeds with a free expression, but when he heard Banxia's words, his face immediately changed. Banxia saw his lady's face and smiled secretly, which made her hit it.
Xu Jinyan refused to admit it and said, "What does this have to do with him? It's just that the prince and King Kang are not reliable, so they can't choose either one. It has nothing to do with him, no!"
Banxia narrowed her eyes and said, "If there is no, there is no, why are you blushing?"
"Where am I blushing? I'm hot! The carriage in this palace is so thick that it's not breathable at all!" Xu Jinyan pretended to be very hot, and even used his hand as a fan and quickly fanned the air.
Banxia snorted coldly and said, "Miss, I will remind you that it is winter now, and New Year's Eve is about to be around the corner. It is the coldest time of the year. Do you think it's hot now? That's not convincing at all! Anyway, Lord Zhang is not here, so you blush if you blush, I won't tell Lord Zhang."
Not that next time, when she meets Lord Zhang, the first thing she said was to talk about today.
Xu Jinyan glared at Banxia and said, "You are the only one who has a mouth! I will only take honeysuckle when I go out in the future, and I will never take you again!"
When Banxia heard this, she said something bad, and immediately surrendered and begged for mercy to Xu Jinyan. Now it was Xu Jinyan's turn to snort coldly. She rushed her face to the window of the carriage, leaving Banxia soft words without saying anything, as if she ignored Banxia's attitude again.
But how could the unhidden smile be hidden deep in those glass-like eyes?
When the carriage was about to reach the gate of Xu Mansion, Banxia suddenly laughed "hey", as if she had thought of something very funny.
Xu Jinyan had made up his mind to ignore Banxia before returning home, but when she saw Banxia's appearance, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you excited about?"
Banxia smiled again and said, "Miss, guess what expression would your wife, second lady and master know that you have been stamped for Ning'an Master?"
Xu Jinyan laughed, it turned out to be for this matter...
What other expressions can you have?
Of course, it was extremely displeased. In the eyes of the Xu family, how could a person like her get such a gift?
It would be strange if Li Zhishu knew that she had been named the Lord of the House, and he would jump up in anger.
Banxia rubbed her palms and said, "Miss, the Queen Mother really likes you. Even Princess Duanyun, the Queen Mother always looked at the lady tightly, and spoke in front of the emperor for the lady, giving the lady the title of "Master of the Master."
Xu Jinyan curled his lips and lowered his voice, "Do you really think the Queen Mother likes me?"
Banxia was stunned and showed some confusion.
