Difficult to be a Concubine

He pointed to the silent Yang Zixuan and said: "Furthermore, Zi Xuan is younger than him by two years, he is now a supervisor now, and waiting for the Autumn Palace to nominate for the Golden Ranking Examination, take a look at Zi Zhi, if it wasn't for him being the direct disciple, he would be dead."

Yang Zixuan was really lying down as he was hit by the gun. The pair of foxeye smiled like crescent moons as he quickly advised: "Father, Mother, don't be angry. Big brother originally doesn't need to compete with the average person for benefits anymore. He only needs father to play on the stage in the future and will inherit the position.

As for whether it was true or not, only he himself knew.

When Marquis of Loyalty heard this, he was very satisfied, and could not help but want to praise him a few more times. In the past two years, the Marquis had become even more satisfied with Yang Zixuan.

Madam Hou's expression changed slightly. How could a son of the Marquis' Mansion need a little concubine to be taken care of? She rolled her eyes and secretly pinched Huang Lian who was sitting beside her.

Huang Lian turned to look at her blankly. "Aunt?"

Seeing Madam Hou giving her a meaningful glance, she immediately grabbed a lion's head and placed it into the Madam Hou's bowl.

He smiled and said, "Aunty, the lion head is very delicious today. You should hurry up and have a taste."

"My Lian is the most obedient, Juan Er!" she called to her daughter.

Yang Juan Er was about to eat, but when he heard his own mother call out, he turned to look at her: "Mother! "What is it?"

Juan Er, if you are on good terms with your Big Sister Lian, then you should learn from her to be well-behaved in the future. If you have half a sense of understanding from her, then I will be at ease, and do not know what kind of good family Lian'er will make in the future. I only wish that you were always in front of me, so that I could take care of you.

Although Madam Hou's words did not seem to be on purpose, he was actually reminding Marquis of Loyalty that there was still another girl in his family who was undecided about the marriage.

Yang Zixuan sat at the side, not even lifting his eyes up, and laughed: "Mother, no wonder people outside call you 'Virtuous', so it turns out Mother had already planned to leave this to Big Brother."

He then turned to Yang Zizhi and said: "Brother is here to congratulate big brother. Coincidentally, last time I heard from a servant that big brother had fallen for a purple diamond that was shipped from overseas, little brother went to find it to give big brother a gift.

Yang Zizhi had originally thought that Huang Lian's temper was not hot enough, but seeing that her face had turned pale white like a pear blossom in the rain, he had a strange feeling. He immediately laughed and said: "You're welcome, I was just worrying about this matter!"

Seeing the two of them being so courteous, Marquis of Loyalty was comforted in his heart.

He did not take over the position of Madam Hou, but instead thought that Huang Lian was just a distant relative with a poor family background, a girl with no foundation or value at all. All his sons had to marry a girl of both character and character, Fang Xing.

Seeing that Yang Zixuan had no intention to say it like that, the Marquis of Loyalty knew that Yang Zizhi had already agreed to it, thus, he could only accept it: "Even so, after you marry your wife, go and set up a few tables for us to take care of, in the end, we watched Lian'er grow up, and when you said that you could not leave her often, I thought that staying with Zi Zhi would also help you."

He felt that it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, as long as they did not pull New daughter-in-law's face.

Then he continued, "Juan Er is going to date in another two years, it's time to change to another upbringing aunt to properly teach him."

This was because he was dissatisfied with Yang Mo's etiquette. He didn't know that after staying in the capital for two years, he had met some of his friends and daughters who wanted to cut their gowns. He felt that his daughter's etiquette was lacking.

The Madam Hou also felt that Yang Juan Er was getting on in years and should be inviting a proper upbringing aunt to come back and teach him a lesson. He quickly agreed to this matter and only said that he would go and invite her when he had the chance.

When the Marquis of Loyalty saw his own wife following him around, his heart calmed down a lot. He then asked: "Did you get an invitation from the Crown Prince's wife for the Spring Festival?" He did not want to get entangled with Huang Lian, so he asked her about another matter.

The Madam Hou did not know what he was thinking, so he said: "The Crown Princess has already sent out word, saying that she will only wait for the spring flowers, and she will send out a post. Furthermore, I heard that this time in the capital, as long as there is anyone with fame, they will not stop at home, as long as there are married women, they will all receive this invitation."

The more she thought about it, the happier she became. This way, she would definitely be able to arrange a good marriage for Yang Zizhi.

Marquis of Loyalty glanced at her, then said indifferently: "Counting the age, it's time to add people into the group again."

This was a warning to her to hurry up and take action as soon as she saw the situation, so as to prevent others from snatching it away.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was used to picking girls, and for a period of three years, it would be a small election. They wouldn't force their daughter to participate, and once every five years, it would be a general election. In other words, the fifth year after the small election, the various provinces would send many beauties to the palace for selection.

After Yang Zixuan heard the news, his eyebrows twitched and he immediately asked: "Father, are women going to be chosen from the palace this year?"

"Yes, I heard that the Grand Preceptor took advantage of the fact that His Majesty is about to seal his brush to perform before the end of the year. He said that most of the palace maids are too old and need an election."

Three years ago? It was the Grand Preceptor's personal performance again! This was a delicate matter, so he asked, "Then did the emperor agree?" Yang Zixuan was secretly anxious.

Seeing him like that, Madam Hou felt a bit of unhappiness in his heart, and immediately asked: "Xuan'er? Why do you ask? "

Even though the Marquis had said that he would give Huang Lian'er to Yang Zizhi, she hoped dearly that Yang Zixuan would marry Huang Lian. At that time, she would have a way to hold Huang Lian down, and that would be equivalent to holding onto Yang Zixuan.

In the past, he had always said he wanted to study at Shangguan. Most of the time, he wasn't at home, and only at the end of the year or during the holidays were there a few days.

Firstly, Yang Zixuan lived in the front courtyard, and secondly, the other party had truly been on unusually tight guard. Besides Xiao Tong, who was accompanying his, no one else was able to get close to his.

He continued, "Don't worry. Mother will help you inquire about your marriage."

How could Yang Zixuan not know that she was planning all this? He laughed and said: I am asking for my brother, Mother, I am afraid you have to hurry, if the Emperor really wants to pick my daughter, I am afraid that this time, brother will be able to pick a good one.

Every time a girl was chosen, the people would always match up with her. Only, they wished that they could see their own daughter from time to time instead of having their flesh and blood separated after entering the palace.

"Is that true? And what age is it? " She still asked Marquis of Loyalty somewhat disbelievingly.

"Hurry up and settle the engagement for Zi Zhi and Juan Er. I heard that this time, the Grand Preceptor has a report that it's a peaceful day in the Great Zhou, and he should open the gates of the palace wide for women to enter the imperial harem. "In addition, you should also worry more about Zi Xuan's marriage. If you look at a few families, you can find a fortunate lady to marry into them."

What did it mean to be blessed, to have both father and mother, both siblings, this was being fortunate, these were the words he had said to sever Huang Lian's desire to become Yang Zixuan's official wife.

She was already seventeen, so when she heard this news, her heart was immediately thrown into disorder. None of the two elders that were just sitting there stood up for her, and she also thought about how her parents could drag this marriage to this day.

The Marquis of Loyalty had always respected the Madam Hou as a guest, and with the addition of the new tender words of explanation from the palace, his thoughts were already on the new aunt, and he was unwilling to speak any further with the Madam Hou.

On the table, only Yang Zizhi, who was in his twenties, ate happily. Even Yang Juan Er knew to hide his actions.

The atmosphere in the hall was depressing. No one was in the mood to appreciate delicious food, so they quickly finished their meal and dispersed.

After a few more days, Master Hou called Yang Zixuan over to the study room.

"Father!"

"Come in!" He sent another servant out.

Looking at Yang Zixuan who looked exactly the same as his late aunt, he pointed to the chair with a sigh and said: "Don't worry.

"Father, why have you entered the palace today?" Yang Zixuan went straight to the point.

Marquis of Loyalty laughed bitterly, he had hoped that his own son would work hard and not raise a trash that only liked to be smeared with fat and powdered, but luckily he had Yang Zixuan, this bastard son, to comfort him.

"Sigh, if your elder brother had half of your intelligence, your father would be at ease."

The two of them were both his sons, and were originally fond of his legitimate son, but he did not expect the bastard son to be like him with such an outstanding status. He did not want to raise his status, so the two of them were unwilling to do so.

He pondered for a moment and said: "That day when we were eating in the hall, I saw that your mother wanted to give you her niece. Are you willing?" Although Zi Zhi wants to take her in, but this matter is not settled yet. "

He was not willing, but he still had to ask for Yang Zixuan's consent on the surface.

Without waiting for Yang Zixuan's response, he continued, "Back then, when your aunt was on the verge of death, father had promised her that he would listen to you regarding your marriage."

Hearing this, Yang Zixuan's nose turned sour. He was young and fashionable, but he could still vaguely remember his mother.

Every time he recalled that his own mother had been killed by someone, he would wish to eat that person's flesh and eat that person's bones. He hated that person to the point where he couldn't easily touch her.

"Xuan'er?"

Marquis of Loyalty was becoming more and more satisfied with Yang Zixuan's capabilities. In the past, he had ignored because of his death, and later, Yang Zixuan relied on his own hard work to re-appear in his eyes.

"Father, forgive this child but I cannot obey. To my son, the Huang Ju is just a distant relative who lives here, and not a proper relative of our Yang family. She should pay attention to men and women, but because she is my mother's niece, my son does not dare to tarnish the reputation of the house. So in these years, my son has always …"

Thus, the almighty Marquis of Loyalty started to brainstorm. It was because of a girl with another surname like Huang Lian, who actually made her son unable to return home!

Thinking about it this way, she thought back to the Madam Hou, thinking that she did not like the Yang family anymore, and only wished that her parents were a good family member, so she blocked her own flesh and blood outside the door for a distant relative.

"Humph!" "You are a descendant of our The House of the Marquis of Loyalty and are in the family tree. How can you allow an outsider to squeeze out? Good child, for the sake of our house's reputation, you've suffered so much for all these years. Your father has never known about this matter and only thought that you liked to play outside."
