The day of the concubine-taking ceremony came.Song Yixiao freshened herself up and went out of the door in the early morning. On the way to Princess Changxing’s mansion, she was still afraid that she might be embarrassed for arriving too early. However, when she got there, she found that quite a few women were chatting merrily in the living room for guests.Commandery Princess Qingjiang was also sitting there. Upon seeing Song Yixiao enter the living room, she hastened to wave her over, asking in a low voice, “What’s happening?”“I don’t know!” Song Yixiao glanced around and found that everybody was staring at her curiously. Then she asked with the corner of her mouth twitched, “You didn’t ask Changxing about it?”Commandery Princess Qingjiang, rolling the jade bracelet on her wrist, replied with a frown, “Do you see her here?”“I’ve just asked about her. The servant said that she was busy preparing for the feast now

Gu Shao smiled and said, “Good girl, by ‘being swayed by emotions’, I didn’t mean the blood relation between you and your father! Do you think that it is blood relations that bothers your father?”“As a senior and the backbone of the country, how can you be such a gossipmonger?” Song Yixiao thought about it and then took a tumble. What bothered Song Yuan was the love between husband and wife. It turned out that Gu Shao was reminding Song Yixiao implicitly not to follow the example of Song Yuan and get indulged in the love of Jian Xubai!Song Yixiao only felt that Gu Shao had intervened too much before but now she was really angry. As a result, she couldn’t be bothered to show respect for him. In full fury, she asked, “What has my husband done when he received you with the Commandery Prince that offends you? If so, please forgive him leniently. I will tell him when I go back home and he will come and apologize to you by himself!”Did he really t

After all, Song Yixiao grew up and lived within the boudoir in this life or her last life, who lacked experience and knowledge in the court games. Therefore, she didn’t notice her husband’s concealment.When she learnt that Gu Shao only wanted to make a retreat instead of allying himself with her, she felt relieved. As to whether she would be implicated by the Crown Princess and her son for Cui Jianlian’s matter, she worried about it for a while and still put it aside. It was right to take precautions but wasn’t it bad to live in a state of excessive worry?It was the third lunar month now. Last Shangsi Festival, out of the need of selecting wives for the clansmen and childes, Commandery Princess Qingjiang held a feast in Zhanchun Venue. This Shangsi Festival, a similar dating feast was held too but this time, the hostess was not Commandery Princess Qingjiang but Daiguo Grand Princess.“It must be for the marriage of Cousin Mingfei and Cousin Z

Song Yixiao still couldn’t think it through after pondering for a while. Eventually, she had to consult her husband, “Even if my father and grandmother have no sense of propriety, Lord Gu is in the Song Family’s mansion. How can he not give them a reminder?”“How can taking a concubine run counter to the Crown Prince?” Unexpectedly, Jian Xubai said in surprise, “She is a toy only. Since she can be bought, she can be sold tomorrow. The Crown Prince has so many things to worry about. How can he have time to interfere with your father’s harem?”He added, “In the old days, among the daughters of the sinful officials, sent into the imperial palace as servants some of them were still selected as the imperial concubines and gave birth to imperial children. Lady Nuan in the palace is more or less of this type. And Madam Liu is a concubine of an official only.”Song Yixiao flushed with shame, “I stay in the backyard for long so I’m kind of narrow-minded

Two days later, the news that Gu Shao would return to Chunnong Venue was confirmed. Song Yixiao prepared a huge housewarming gift with doubt and let her husband offer congratulations to Gu Shao with it.Jian Xubai spent almost one day in Chunnong Venue. Having returned to Duke of Yan’s mansion, he became even more confused, “Today Lord Gu is in a good mood.”“Does he think of any way to deal with Prince of Wei and Prince of Zhao?” Song Yixiao smelt alcohol on him, slightly frowned and urged him to drink the soup for the hangover, “Otherwise, as he looked so happy just after he moved out of the Song Family’s mansion, those unknowing people may think that the Song Family have mistreated him! Isn’t it discourteous?”Unexpectedly, after taking a sip of the hangover soup, Jian Xubai slightly shook his head, “I asked the others at the feast and learnt that Lord Gu hadn’t given any advice to the Crown Prince recently.”“Is it because my f
