Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 466: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 22

After the old lady sent away the eunuch who announced the decree, everyone's eyes turned to Cui Xiaoxiao. This person with the lowest presence in the mansion became the focus of the entire mansion today.

Cui Xiaoxiao followed everyone back to the old lady's courtyard. After the old lady sat down, she started to attack! "Xiaoxiao girl, what happened to you during the selection? Didn't I tell you not to stand out? Did you do something? Otherwise, why would the Tenth Prince pay attention to you and choose you as his concubine?"

"Grandmother, look at what you said! My granddaughter has never left the palace and has done nothing! If my behavior is not up to standard or I have done something unnecessary, why would His Majesty grant me to the Tenth Prince as a concubine?

As for why the Tenth Prince fell in love with me, I don't know. Isn't this what the emperor wants? How can I guess the emperor's intention?

I guess His Majesty and the Tenth Prince are also attracted by their granddaughter's honesty! Why, grandma, do you think the Tenth Prince is not good? Or are you not satisfied with His Majesty's marriage? Or do you think your granddaughter is wronged for being a concubine? "Cui Xiaoxiao asked the old lady with a wronged look on her face.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I say that the Tenth Prince is not good? How could I say that I am not satisfied with the marriage granted by the Emperor? Are you trying to kill my mansion by saying this? You are not even satisfied with the concubine, are you dreaming of going to heaven?" The old lady said loudly in shock and anger!

"Grandma, why do you ask your granddaughter that?" Cui Xiaoxiao asked timidly but bravely!

What could the old lady say? Could she say that her father had already decided her future and was ready to give her to the fifth prince as a concubine? Could he ask her to refuse to be the tenth prince's concubine and become the fifth prince's concubine? Even a fool could tell which one was better, a concubine or a concubine?

If that really happened, not only would others think they were crazy, but the emperor would not let the Marquis' Mansion see tomorrow's sunrise, and even the Tenth Prince would destroy them!

The old lady was a bit troubled. Her son's official business trip had something to do with the Fifth Prince. They had received benefits, but the person who had been chosen to be the Fifth Prince was given to someone else. Would the Fifth Prince still believe that his son would support him?

Would he think that his son is looking for more, is greedy and insatiable?

The emperor's decree granting the marriage put the Marquis's family in a difficult position.

If they had known that His Majesty would marry the concubine to the prince, they would not have chosen sides so early! The son is also responsible for this matter. Knowing that Cui Xiaoxiao was going to participate in the selection, he should have guessed that His Majesty would grant the marriage! If they had waited until after the selection to choose sides, they would not be in the dilemma now!

The old lady's headache grew the more she thought about it. She now disliked Cui Xiaoxiao as well. It would have been better if she could have been eliminated in the primary election. However, it was too late to say anything now.

"Forget it, since the emperor has already issued an edict to grant the marriage, the matter is settled. You should go back and prepare for the wedding!" Speaking of preparing for the wedding, the old lady's head hurt even more. The prince's concubines have weddings, betrothal gifts, and dowries. With the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion, where can they find dowries?

But she has a father and a mother, so it is not her turn as a grandmother to worry about her.

Cui Xiaoxiao didn't care about the Marquis's complicated thoughts. She took the imperial edict back to her own courtyard, opened it and examined it over and over again. This was a genuine antique. It should be worth a lot of money in modern times, right?

But then she got discouraged again, because there was no such dynasty in history books! She might as well stock up on high-end antiques, jewelry, fabrics... Really!

"Congratulations, Miss. Congratulations, Miss. on finding a good marriage!" Xiang Qin was very happy as she looked at the young lady looking at the imperial edict!

When she saw her former master in the young lady's room that night, she guessed that something was wrong. Unexpectedly, it came true. The two masters became a family, and no one in the entire marquis's mansion was happier than her!

"Well, let's celebrate together!" Cui Xiaoxiao took out dozens of taels of silver, asked her to prepare some delicious food to celebrate, and also asked her to reward several people in her yard with three months' salary!

Except Cui Xiaoxiao, no one else in the Marquis' Mansion slept well that night.

Cui Ningning was jealous and resentful because, just because of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, a man who was inferior to her in every way could get a good marriage, while she could only marry a rough and uncouth man who knew nothing about martial arts.

Being the prince's concubine granted marriage by His Majesty, what a great honor!

Why should she, a merchant and the daughter of a widowed mother, be given the right? Thinking that even if she got married, she would have to greet Cui Xiaoxiao when she saw her, Cui Ningning became more and more angry, but she was powerless to change anything, and finally cried all night.

Aunt Zhuang was also sad that her daughter's marriage was not as good as Cui Xiaoxiao's. She was even more sad that all her savings over the years were lost, and she couldn't even subsidize her daughter privately.

Not to mention the old lady, who was so troubled by all those worries that she hardly slept a wink the whole night!

The Marquis's wife also did not sleep well. She did not expect that the merchant's daughter, someone she had never taken seriously, could have such a good marriage!

She thought of her own daughter, and wondered who her daughter would marry in the future. If her daughter married someone worse than the merchant's daughter, she would probably be so angry that she would die!

But she also knew in her heart that if the Marquis's Mansion did not make any achievements to change the current situation, then her daughter would definitely not become the prince's principal wife, and her daughter would always be suppressed by the daughter of a merchant.

Just think about it, she is the daughter of a prime minister, and became the emperor's second wife after becoming his favorite. The original wife above her is a merchant woman, and her daughter will be suppressed by the descendants of merchant women in the future. It makes her angry just thinking about it!

She was a stepmother and had to arrange the marriage of her stepdaughter. And the things in the mansion were lost! She might need her dowry to make up for it. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She regretted it now. If she had known this would happen, she should have destroyed Cui Xiaoxiao instead of turning a blind eye! Whether she was killed, disabled, or disfigured, it would be better than what was happening now.

When Cui Xiaoxiao got up the next morning and went to pay her respects, everyone she saw had panda eyes. She raised her eyebrows. It was really unexpected yet expected.

Yesterday, the imperial edict for the prince's principal wife and the wife of the powerful and wealthy was delivered. Many powerful and wealthy people sent people to inquire about who will be the prince's principal wife in the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties and ten years.

Everything else is fine, but the imperial edict issued yesterday by the Tenth Prince's concubine was particularly eye-catching among these concubines and wives.

How could the concubine issue an imperial edict yesterday? Who is this Le'an Marquis's daughter? Why is she so strange? I have never seen her before? It seems that I haven't seen her during the entire talent show?

Why did she get the status of a prince's concubine without doing anything? And she was the tenth prince with the best appearance and the highest status besides the legitimate son! !

What about their jumping around during the selection period, giving gifts, buying clothes, giving money, and using connections? Especially the several powerful and noble ladies who had been coveted by the Tenth Prince for a long time, their eyes were red with tears!

Why could an unknown person easily obtain the status that they had been longing for and trying every possible means to obtain?

The emperor's decree left the ministers who had already taken their positions somewhat confused. What was going on with the tenth prince? It didn't seem like he was being suppressed!

The Fifth Prince also learned the news. The person he despised the most and who didn't even want to be his concubine became the concubine of his biggest rival? Thinking of the situation in Le'an Marquis' Mansion, he should be happy.

But he just couldn't be happy, he always felt like something was wrong!

Then he thought again, the one who said such a bad thing about Le'an Marquis' Mansion was his tenth brother! Isn't it said that there are no capable people in the Marquis' Mansion, and once you get attached, you can't get rid of them? Then what's the matter with his concubine? It was issued at the same time as the imperial edict for the main wife!

My tenth brother hasn't done anything to anger my father recently, and my father doesn't seem to be suppressing my tenth brother! And what's strange is that no matter whether it's Concubine Zhao or my tenth brother, they all have no objection to being given such a powerless concubine, and they all accept it with pleasure.

If you say that my tenth brother is a beauty, then isn't the daughter of the Le'an Marquis's mansion also as beautiful as a fairy? Many of those concubines are prettier than her. Could it be that the Le'an Marquis's mansion has some unknown and extraordinary qualities?

The Tenth Brother he knew would never do anything without a purpose. There must be something he didn't know!

Especially when he got the news from the spies in the palace, he wondered why the emperor issued the imperial decree to appoint a concubine today. It was Concubine Zhao's idea, and she was the one who asked for it.

There was always something strange going on here, and there must be a conspiracy. But he couldn't figure out what was wrong no matter how hard he tried. He was scratching his head, but the feeling of not being able to scratch the itch made him a little crazy.

He always felt that he had fallen into the trap again!

Even the news that he would soon have a high-ranking concubine did not make him happy!

Cui Xiaoxiao sent Xiang Qin out to inquire about the news, at least to let her know who the prince's wives are!

The old lady and the marquis' wife also heard the news, and they finally realized belatedly that this selection was mainly for the prince, not to enrich the emperor's harem!

They were annoyed and helpless. This was the sadness of having no one in the court and the Marquis not being able to guess the emperor's intentions. He would be a step behind in everything and missed many opportunities! But the Marquis couldn't let go of his face and was unwilling to get close to the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Yue Family. Otherwise, why would it be like this?

Cui Xiaoxiao heard the familiar knocking on the window again that night! She knew it must be the Tenth Prince without using her mental power! As soon as she opened the window, she saw the smiling Tenth Prince.

But this time he didn't jump in, but stood outside the window and asked her directly: "How was your dinner today? Can you still eat more? I know there is a restaurant with very good food, do you want to go there to eat together?"

Cui Xiaoxiao thought about it and decided that it didn't matter whether she ate or not. The main thing was that she had never been out at night! She didn't know what the night in the ancient capital was like.

"Uh? Through the main door?"

"No, the wall of the mansion is not high. I'll take you to climb it!"

Uh… why is it climbing the wall again? Cui Xiaoxiao was speechless. She really wasn't suitable for the ancient times. It was fine to have an affair before, but now with a legitimate partner, why is it like having an affair? It always involves climbing the wall?

And it would be fine if he climbed the wall by himself, but he had to take her with him!!!

But she was still thinking, but her body was honest. By the time she realized what was happening, she had already jumped out of the window. Cui Xiaoxiao was still mumbling to herself, "I'm not a proper lady. What kind of lady would do such a thing as following a man around in the middle of the night?"

The Tenth Prince, who had very good hearing, couldn't help but laugh, but when he saw Cui Xiaoxiao looking at him, he quickly covered his lips with his fist and coughed twice to cover it up, and then returned to his serious look!

"Don't worry, no one will see it!" He would not let his concubine's reputation be damaged.

"I... I'm not greedy, I just want to go out and have a look. I rarely have the opportunity to go out. Especially at night...!" She really thought so.

But, weren’t there curfews at night in ancient times?

"Yeah, I know." Although there was no smile on his face, the smile in his eyes could not be hidden!

"Don't you have to go back to the palace at night? The Marquis' Mansion doesn't seem to be close to the Imperial Palace!" The palace should be locked at night!

"It's okay. If I can't go back, I can rest in the yard outside the palace!" If they go back at night, they can make up any excuse and the guards at the palace gate will not stop them!

Cui Xiaoxiao nodded to show that she understood, and after a few words, the two of them were in the corner.

The tenth prince extended his hand to her. Cui Xiaoxiao glanced at him. Huh? Want to hold her hand? Is this the purpose of this guy's visit tonight? I didn't expect that this serious guy has so many tricks!

Haha, little guy, sister understands!

Cui Xiaoxiao was not stingy either. She put her fair and tender little hand directly in his palm. Unexpectedly, the Tenth Prince took her hand with one hand and held her slender waist with the other hand. He kicked the wall hard and made the whole place spin. Then he took her and flipped over the wall!

Qing... Qinggong? Is this the legendary Qinggong?

Cui Xiaoxiao was excited and no longer cared about trivial things like holding hands and hugging waists. She now had something more important to care about.

"Your Highness, was that Qinggong just now? Can you fly around on the roof in the air? Do you have internal strength?" This is more important to her than eating or going out to play.

"Internal force? Qinggong? Xiaoxiao, why don't you read less picture books!" What is this girl thinking? When he was a child, he also hoped to have these skills, but when he grew up, he woke up from the dream and no longer had any fantasies!

"What about just now...!" Cui Xiaoxiao asked with some unwillingness to give up!

"It's a somersault using the force of the opponent. Anyone who practices martial arts can do it. It's not the flying skill you mentioned, and it doesn't require internal strength. Look, he can do one more somersault in the air!" The Tenth Prince pointed at his guards!

Then he gave Cui Xiaoxiao a popular science of kung fu. Cui Xiaoxiao's heart finally died after hearing this. There really is no Qinggong and internal force in this world! They have been practicing martial arts since they were young, but they can only jump a little higher than ordinary people.

However, there are indeed sets of kung fu and boxing, archery and spear techniques, but they are all things that modern martial artists can do, they just focus more.

Cui Xiaoxiao has given up!

She followed the Tenth Prince into a carriage that looked ordinary and low-key on the outside but was very luxurious on the inside. The carriage took her to the entrance of an alley, and she found a very quiet and clean restaurant as if she was familiar with the place!

The restaurant owner probably recognized who they were and took them directly to a quiet private room.

Because it was evening, the two did not order many dishes. There were only three signature dishes and two servings of fresh meat porridge, but the taste was really good. Although it was not as good as the imperial meal, it was also different.
