When she entered the room, Song Ruoxi saw Zhou Siyi sitting upright in the front seat, wearing a rose-red palace outfit, a phoenix crown on her head, and a dignified and solemn expression. Beside her, there was also a woman in a 27 or 28-year-old in a female uniform. The woman had a smile on her face, but there was no fluctuation in her eyes, which showed that she was a powerful figure.

Zhou Siyi stood up and saluted, "Wanrong has met Sister Yuxian."

Song Ruoxi returned the greeting gracefully, "Sister Wanrong is polite."

"Sister Yuxian, please sit down." Zhou Siyi said politely.

Song Ruoxi sat down on the embroidery pier, waited for the maid to serve tea, took a sip, and asked with a smile: "How have you been doing in the past few days?"

"I worry my sister, I can eat and sleep, and I live a good life." Zhou Siyi smiled.

When someone was staring at him, Song Ruoxi had something to say. After talking about the hot weather, why it was not raining, he said directly: "This county mainly talks to Princess Wanrong alone, you all retreat."

I guess she didn't expect Song Ruoxi to make this request without hesitation. The two nannies looked at her in surprise, and then thought that there must be something extraordinary if she could come out of the surveillance of Madam Qiu, and it would be better not to answer, so as not to lose her old face for decades.

The scrutiny light flashed in the female official's eyes and she said lightly: "Please, please, two princes."

After everyone left, Zhou Siyi let out a sigh of relief and asked curiously: "Sister, why are the two nannies around you willing to let you out?"

Song Ruoxi smiled and told her the whole story in a low voice.

Zhou Siyi held the round fan, covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Sister, you are so awesome! Since the imperial edict was issued, the emperor sent someone over, and I was restrained by them and could not go anywhere."

When Song Ruoxi saw that Zhou Siyi was in a good mood and her tone was relaxed, she was not going to die because of the marriage. When she came, she thought about how to comfort her. The situation was different now. She didn't know what to say, so she lowered her eyes and stared at the teacup in her hand and thought about the words.

"Sister, thank you for coming to see me." Zhou Siyi said.

Song Ruoxi looked up at her and smiled and said, "No need to thank you between you and me."

"Sister, don't worry about me, I won't do stupid things." Zhou Siyi sighed quietly, "Since I am enjoying the glory brought by my family, when I should give and sacrifice, I should give and sacrifice. I can't complain. What's more, what I have done over the past few months has shamed the family. As a woman of the Zhou family, I cannot and will no longer be willful."

Song Ruoxi looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can you let him go?"

Zhou Siyi's eyes showed a complicated look, closed her eyes, opened it for a long time, and said calmly: "If you have feelings, I will stay with you, if you don't care, I will give up. Sister, you are right, I will live my own life in the future. He was just a moment of confusion when I was young."

The worry in Song Ruoxi's eyes was not reduced at all. She also hoped that Zhou Siyi could live a good life, but Chen Mo couldn't guess what he would do with Zhou Siyi. "He Guo is a foreign country, that Dongbi Hou..."

"Sister, women always want to get married. I have lost my reputation in Beijing. It is a good thing to marry far from me." Zhou Siyi interrupted Song Ruoxi with a calm expression, "And this is also powerful for my family. Why not do the best of both worlds?"

Song Ruoxi was stunned, so she didn't know what to say.

At this time, the female official walked in, blessed her body, and said, "The two princesses have been saying this for a long time, it's time to rest for a while."

When Song Ruoxi entered the house, he found that the situation here was different from hers, so naturally it would not be difficult for Zhou Siyi to do it. He stood up and said, "Sister Wanrong, I will come to see you again another day."

"Sister Yuxian walked slowly." Zhou Siyi stood up and saw him off.

Song Ruoxi's master and servant came out of Zhou Siyi's yard and was still sent back to the hall by the palace maid who had led the way. When Ji Yun saw her back, she said goodbye to Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou was in a bad spirit and stayed for a while and sent them out.

In the carriage, Ji Yun asked about Zhou Siyi's situation.

Song Ruoxi said Zhou Siyi.

Ji Yun was silent for a moment and said, "She can figure this out, and her life will not be too sad in the future."

Song Ruoxi snuggled in Ji Yun's arms and sighed softly.

Ji Yun patted her on the back, "You have to think about everything before you can live your life."

Ji Yun said that everything was going to be done, but someone immediately found something to make her unable to think about it.

At the third hour of You, Song Sui entered the main courtyard, sat down in the room, took a few sips of tea, and said, "My father came to me just now and wanted to pick two concubines for Xi'er and marry them together."

Mothering is an ancient marriage system. Only princesses and princesses are qualified to marry. Women who do not have a title can only be called "union". Mothering is not implemented very much in this dynasty, with only three cases, two princesses and one princess.

Song Ruoxi is Princess Yuxian, the emperor's gift. She can choose a concubine, but Ji Yun has never considered this issue, and she does not intend to help Song Ruoxi to choose any concubine. Although Ji Yun did not stop Song Sui from taking concubines, she never took the initiative to help Song Sui take concubines. She was released to be a wife of the family who served her. She could not do such virtuous and generous things, and she didn't want her daughter to do it.

Hearing that the Song family father and son were making this idea, Ji Yun was so angry that her hands trembled. After enduring it, she barely suppressed the fire and asked with gritted teeth: "Which two did the old man choose to be a mother for the princess?"

Song Sui didn't hear Ji Yun's tone, nor did he notice that Ji Yun deliberately used the princess when he called Song Ruoxi, and said, "The sixth girl and eighth girl here, the fifth girl and the ninth girl from Anruitang, the third girl and the fourth girl from Anpingtang, and the second girl and the third girl from Anpintang, all have the right age and identity."

Those who marry are usually relatives of women from the house, and their identities are nobler than other concubines, second only to their mistresses, and above all the concubines. The eight of the Song Suibao are the daughters of each house, and their age is not much different from Song Ruoxi. The older ones are not as big as a few months, and the younger ones are not as small as a few years.

Ji Yun sneered: "Age is quite suitable, but since you choose to be a concubine, you have to choose a good person, a gentle personality, and a well-behaved and obedient person. None of these eight people can do it."

Song Sui glanced at Ji Yun and said, "This is choosing a concubine for Xi'er. You should ask her what she means."

"I am her mother. I said no, but I can't." Ji Yun was unwilling to use this matter to cause trouble for Song Ruoxi.

"I know you feel sorry for Xi'er, but don't be irritated. Dengyingcheng has a unique status. If the young city lord gets married, all countries will send concubines over, at least one person or several. How can you deal with Xi'er alone? Let's send two wise concubines over here, so we can help Xi'er manage other concubines." Song Sui looked like a tone of considering Song Ruoxi.

Ji Yun had to admit that Song Sui's words made some sense.

"Tell me about Xi'er tomorrow and decide the candidate earlier." Song Sui said.

Ji Yun lowered her head and said nothing, her eyes were filled with dimness and a deep sense of powerlessness. Ye Shuhua's status and status were too high, so she could not protect her daughter.

The next day, Ji Yun had a long time to go to see Song Ruoxi. After yesterday's incident, the palace maid did not dare to stop her. However, Ji Yun had something in her mind and did not notice it.

After leaving the people in the room, Ji Yun took Song Ruoxi's hand and asked, "Xi'er, do you know how to marry?"

Song Ruoxi nodded, "I know."

"Although this concubine is a noble concubine, she is controlled by the mistress and is affiliated with the mistress for the rest of her life. The mistress wants to beat her and chase her, and she follows the mistress's wishes. Her status is higher than that of other concubines, but in front of the mistress, she is not as good as a concubine. A man can protect the concubine, but cannot protect the concubine. A concubine can control other concubines and be evil for the mistress. The mistress has a reputation of virtuousness and will not be promoted as a jealous woman." Ji Yun beat around the bush, reducing the danger of the concubine and increasing the use, comforting Song Ruoxi, and comforting herself.

Song Ruoxi's eyes flashed, he looked at Ji Yun and asked, "Mom, do you want to prepare a concubine for me?"

"Dengying City has a unique status. If the young city lord marrys a wife, all countries will send concubines over. The old man and your father are afraid that you can't handle it alone, so they want you to choose two concubines and marry you to Dengying City with you to help you."

"Will countries send concubines to him?" Song Ruoxi asked in surprise.

Ji Yun nodded.

Song Ruoxi then realized that the problem was very serious. These concubines represented the forces of various countries. Even if Ye Shuhua didn't want it, his father would not agree. He would definitely force him to take everyone into the room. His heart was so depressed that she shouldn't have a concubine in this era. Perhaps in this era, she shouldn't expect men to have no concubines.

"Xi'er, some things cannot be avoided, so you can only face them." Ji Yun touched her face with distress, "There is no woman in the world who wants her husband to have three wives and four concubines, but this matter does not count. Not being jealous is one of the virtues of a woman! As a woman, she must be willing to be unwilling to be willing; if she does not accept her fate, she has to accept her fate!"

Song Ruoxi's eyes were dark, "Which two have they chosen?"

"I have chosen eight of them to choose from, including the sixth and eighth girls in the family, the fifth and ninth girls in Anruitang, the second and fifth girls in Anpingtang, and the third and fourth girls in Anpintang."

"Are they willing to be concubines?" Song Ruoxi asked.

"It's not their turn to do it or not."

Song Ruoxi smiled bitterly. She really asked a stupid question. Women in this era followed their fathers at home and married husbands. They had no autonomy at all. The family's decision was their decision.

"You know the character and temperament of the Liu Yatou and the Ba Yatou. You don't have much contact with the other ones. Do you want your mother to summon them into the mansion and show you?" Ji Yun asked.

Song Ruoxi shook her head. If Ye Shuhua couldn't avoid taking a concubine, she could only accept it. However, she had to choose this concubine by herself and took it to the mansion in person. She couldn't do it, "Mom, you're in charge of this matter, I don't want to care about it."
