Quickly wear: The heroine of the sadistic novel cultivates the ruthless way!

Although Zhou Yaoyi was apparently deprived of his housekeeping rights and confined to his own yard, he actually lived a very leisurely life.

Moreover, although she was banned from entering and exiting the courtyard, Gongyi Shuo did not prohibit others from entering.

Zheng Mujin stayed in Zhou Yaoyi's yard every day these days, and learned a lot about this concubine from her.

"Hibiscus, in this back house, self-preservation is the most important thing for us, and any glory and status are secondary. As long as nothing big happens to the family, Prince Rui will not treat us badly. There is only one thing that you and I should be careful about. Remember. This concubine is not a simple person. Although her identity recorded in the records is just a woman donated by the people, I always feel that her identity is not that simple. The relationship between her and His Highness, It's much closer than what we see. If she asks you to do something in the future, as long as it doesn't harm you or me, just listen."

Zheng Mujin is also a smart person, so he naturally understood the hidden meaning of Zhou Yaoyi's words.

The future status of this concubine will definitely be more than just a concubine.

Therefore, on the day of the banquet at the Second Prince's Mansion, Zheng Mujin made a special trip to Shi Ran's courtyard before setting off.

"Concubine Shi, what are your plans for today's banquet?"

Zheng Mujin looked at Shi Ran very sincerely.

"If you have any plans, please tell me in advance. I will do my best to help you."

The meaning is obvious.

What are you going to do? Just talk to me and I'll cover it for you.

She didn't feel jealous at all about being a concubine, but instead took the initiative to relieve Shi Ran's worries.

Shi Ran smiled softly.

"Concubine Zheng only needs to help me hold down Concubine Xie from the Second Prince's Mansion. By the way, if I hear any noise, Concubine Concubine must hurry up and come to save me."

He was talking about saving, but Shi Ran's eyes were really relaxed.

Zheng Mujin understood instantly.

This is to allow yourself to bring everyone there.

"I understand, don't worry."

Of course Shi Ran was relieved.

The concubine Zheng in front of her, who looked elegant and weak, was actually a brave and resourceful woman.

In my memory, when Gong Yishuo failed to seize the legitimate son and the whole house was under house arrest, a blind servant got the hint from his superiors and tried to humiliate the master of the house, and finally bullied Zhou Yaoyi.

The concubine Zheng not only managed to capture the slave's identity, but also chopped off one of his hands with a knife in front of others, completely shocking the minds of others.

This is also the reason why Shi Ran wanted to cooperate with Zhou Yaoyi in the first place.

Because of Zheng Mujin, she kept it to use today.

Mrs. Xie is worthy of being a noble daughter of an aristocratic family. The banquet was held appropriately and elegantly, and all the female guests who came and went praised her.

Seeing Zheng Mujin coming in from the door in time, a gentle smile immediately appeared on Mr. Xie's face.

"Sister Zheng, sister Shi."

They were shouting, but they were very affectionate, and there was no hint that the husbands on both sides were fighting fiercely.

Xie's eyes still fell on Shi Ran's slightly bulging abdomen.

"Sister Shi is in great health now? But she still needs to take good care of her."

It was previously rumored that Shi Ran's pregnancy was unstable because of the quarrels between Prince Rui, Queen, concubines, and concubines. Now that Xie specifically mentioned it, it was obviously with some extraneous meaning.

It seems that this intimacy is only superficial, but actually everyone has their own thoughts.

"Of course it's great. His Majesty and the Queen have given you a lot of nourishing foods, so it's already great. Hey, why haven't you seen Concubine Rui in the palace?"

Shi Ran looked around for a few times, and finally said a little shyly, "Sister Xie Concubine, don't be surprised. As a concubine, I always feel ashamed when I am with all my sisters, so I thought I could have a few words with Sister Concubine Rui." talk."

Such an innocent and weak look.

Xie almost couldn't hold back her smile.

On the surface, she said that she was just a concubine with a low status, but in fact, she was secretly stabbing Zhou's miscarriage.

Who would have known that the Xie family was scolded by the second prince because of Concubine Rui's miscarriage, and she was completely humiliated as soon as she entered the palace.

When Shi Ran mentioned this matter now, he was not saving any face for Mr. Xie, and he was going straight to the sore spot.

After all, Xie was carefully trained by the Xie family. Her heart was filled with hatred, but she could still have a gentle smile on her face, as if she didn't hear the hidden meaning of Shi Ran's words at all.

"Sister Shi is worried too much. What you are carrying now is Prince Rui's first child, the Holy Emperor's first grandson. Who in this imperial capital dares to look down on you?"

After saying that, he took the initiative to hold Shi Ran's hand and walked towards the hall.

You know, although Xie is just a concubine, she and the second prince's biological mother are from the same clan.

This status in the prince's palace is naturally different.

Her current gesture of intimacy and intimacy was enough to make many people take a higher look at Shi Ran.

It's enough to make some people think about things.

For example, Zheng Mujin.

Xie had a meaningful smile on her face.

She didn't believe that this concubine Zheng could not mind at all.

With such a commoner's daughter weighing down on her, all the glory was taken up by her.

Then who is she?

Xie has good plans for everything, and for her age, her grasp of people's hearts is quite sophisticated.

The only thing I didn't expect was probably Zheng Mujin's current state of mind.

She didn't even think about fighting.

The banquet hosted by Xie today is called Yichun Banquet.

In addition to Shi Ran and Zheng Mujin, a dozen well-known senior officials or dukes, marquises and duchess in the imperial capital were also invited.

Although everyone was invited in the name of birthdays, Ms. Xie felt that it was high-profile, so she came up with the name Yichun Banquet.

Just in line with today's spring scenery, it is also considered elegant.

At the banquet, everyone was ordering wine, guessing riddles and writing poems. Xie walked around among them and entertained today's guests very well.

"Did you see it? After all, she is the daughter of the Xie family. She is a model cultivated by a wealthy family. Her skills and abilities are outstanding. I heard that a few generations back of the Xie family, they were only the head wives. It was Concubine Xie who set this example. , In the past few years, the Xie family has successively produced many concubines or wives."

Zheng Mujin covered his face with a fan and whispered to Shi Ran in a low voice.

Because Shi Ran was pregnant, she didn't touch any of the dishes at the banquet. She just sat there quietly and observed everything in front of her.

"The Xie family has been inherited for so many years, and there have been peaks and troughs. The previous Emperor You almost wiped out several major families at that time. Most of the male members of the Xie family were killed, and then the Xie family was forced to join His Majesty's service. They used one My daughter being a concubine has brought me the current benefits, but naturally I can’t go back to the past.”

Shi Ran actually didn't think there was anything wrong with Emperor You's attack on the aristocratic family.

But the method was too crude and direct, and the mess left to him by previous emperors was too big. Naturally, there was no way to recover from the devastated country.

But his starting point is right.

If the aristocratic family follows the rules and etiquette, that's naturally good.

But if you are so ambitious that you want to be the emperor's master, then there is no need to exist.

Zheng Mujin was about to speak when she saw that the maid serving the soup accidentally stepped on the corner of the table and clasped the soup on Shi Ran's clothes.

Zheng Mujin stood up suddenly.
