In recent days, Miao Manman had heard that Ming's mother planned to give Ye Ziming a concubine, but she didn't take it to heart.

She knew the style of the Ming family and would not take concubines easily.

What's more, Ming's father doesn't even have concubines, and Ye Ziming is a junior, so how can he overstep his bounds?

With such thoughts in mind, Miao Manman could not stand still. Even though Ming's mother had already spread the word, she only thought it was a threat to herself.

Of course, her attitude towards Ye Ziming is still a bit better.

After calming down, Miao Manman also knew that the fuss in front of Xie Zhan was indeed her fault. Even if she was dissatisfied, she would not do it in front of the guests.

Although Miao Manman doesn't have much knowledge, she still understands the basic right and wrong.

Although Ming's mother took the matter of choosing an official slave as a concubine for Ye Ziming seriously, she still felt that it was somewhat inappropriate.

In Ming's mother's mind, even if she is a concubine, she should find a girl from a good family who is pure and innocent. Although the official slave cannot be said to be clean, she is not a girl from a good family after all.

It felt a little aggrieved to Ye Ziming.

Even though he said it didn't matter, Ming's mother still felt a little uncomfortable.

Without further persuading Ming's mother, Xie Zhan's family sent someone to invite Mingxiu to come over.

The new butler is a middle-aged man. Although he is much younger than the previous one, he is also calm and should be said to be much quieter.

He politely invited Mingxiu in as if he were serving a serious master, and at the same time he did not forget to explain the reason for inviting her.

"Master Zhao came to apologize in person. Your Majesty wants to see what you mean."

Mingxiu was stunned and looked at the housekeeper in confusion, "Is it Zhao Xiyuan's father?"

She really didn't know much about the Zhao family. The only people she knew were Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Xiyuan.

She didn't have much affection for the Zhao family, so naturally she didn't want to get to know them.

The butler nodded, "Yes."

Vaguely, Mingxiu seemed to realize that the housekeeper looked down upon Mr. Zhao in his mouth.

She didn't know why, but when she arrived at the main hall, she didn't give Mingxiu more time to ask. The housekeeper went straight to inform Mingxiu that she had arrived, and then invited her in.

Upon entering the room, the first thing Mingxiu noticed was Mr. Zhao standing in the main hall.

He is wearing an indigo silk-wrapped gown. Although it is simple, the faint light floating between his movements shows that it is valuable. He has a short beard and stands upright, giving him the feeling of a celebrity.

Mingxiu's first impression of him was pretty good.

Seeing her coming, Xie Zhan waved, "Sit down."

Soon a girl brought tea.

Xie Zhan tilted his head and spoke in a gentle and thoughtful tone, "Your mother said that you have been having trouble sleeping recently, so she won't serve you any tea. This is the newly imported milk. Make it into milk tea according to your method. See if it suits your taste."

Although Mr. Zhao did not speak, he could see Xie Zhan's attitude towards Mingxiu and his eyes flashed continuously.

It seems that the regent's attitude towards the Princess Showa is indeed not simple.

Maybe... there's a little bit of joy in it.

Mr. Zhao has been a master of Qingtian for half his life and has met countless people. Naturally, he can distinguish what is politeness to the savior and what is the joy between children.

Under such circumstances, if Zhao Xiyuan can get Mingxiu's favor, Xie Zhan might take some care of the Zhao family for her sake.

Although this is very risky, the rewards are also great.

But now, the Zhao family has offended Mingxiu and even vaguely humiliated her. The resentment in Mingxiu's heart, as long as she complains to Xie Zhan, the Zhao family will definitely not be able to get rid of it!

This time, his wife really did something wrong.

You shouldn't just listen to the wind and rain. After hearing that Mingxiu had done something in the palace, you immediately thought that she was useless. That's all. Why did you send someone to your door to humiliate her?

Mr. Zhao also heard a little bit about what Diao Nu said when he came to the door.

I heard that Princess Showa is extremely proud. Can she tolerate this?

If Mingxiu had been dealt with at that time, it would be easy to say that there would not be much trouble in the future. Even if they wanted to come and take her as a concubine, no one would dare to say anything.

But she is still doing well!

Not only that, but he and Xie Zhan also share the same friendship through thick and thin.

How can such a person be easily offended?

The last time Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Xiyuan came to apologize, they were blocked and came back. They were still angry.

But Mr. Zhao only felt fear and fear in his heart.

Although he came to the capital, his official position had not yet been confirmed. At this time, he had a grudge with Xie Zhan. He didn't even need to target Xie Zhan. He only needed to show some displeasure towards him. Mr. Zhao couldn't even think about it in the capital.

Good luck!

The more thoroughly he thought about it, the more frightened Mr. Zhao became.

Seeing Mingxiu taking the tea, Mr. Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The women and children at home are ignorant and have offended the princess. I am here to apologize and ask the princess to forgive me."

He didn't just say it, he also presented a cloisonné enamel box with his hands.

Just looking at the box, you can tell that the items inside are valuable.

Mingxiu did have resentment towards the Zhao family in her heart, but she felt a little embarrassed that Mr. Zhao had lowered his attitude so low.

One look at her face, and Xie Zhan knew that she had become a woman again.

Even if Mingxiu is relieved of his anger, he is not so easy to dismiss.

There was only one servant in the house, Bailu, and the others were sent out by Xie Zhan. At this time, Xie Zhan glanced at Bailu and motioned for her to finish the brocade box.

Xie Zhan got it and gave it to Mingxiu without even looking at it.

Inside the brocade box is a set of ruby ​​nuggets, with 30,000 taels of silver notes underneath.

It's not like Mingxiu has never seen money before. When he saw such a large sum of money, he couldn't help but take a breath.

When Mr. Zhao saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart.

As expected, he came from a small household, and he couldn't walk when he saw some money.

This little money is just a drop in the bucket for the Zhao family.

Although the Zhao family is not as rich as those Haoying clans, Mr. Zhao has been an official for many years and has old friends all over the country. In addition, he has a daughter-in-law who knows how to manage the household. It is very easy for Mr. Zhao to spend this little money.

.

"Master Zhao is really sincere." Xie Zhan also saw the compensation he gave, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, looking as if he was very satisfied.

Mr. Zhao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "It is indeed my family's inappropriate behavior this time. I just hope that the princess will not blame me."

He was not stupid. Although he was looking for the door of the Prince Regent's Palace, he also knew that the real owner of this matter was Mingxiu, so the apology he spoke was naturally directed at Mingxiu.

But his eyes were still pointed directly at Xie Zhan.

If Mingxiu is no longer angry, Xie Zhan has no reason to embarrass him, right?

Mr. Zhao even thought that through this incident, Mingxiu would have a good impression of the Zhao family. In this way, he could say a few nice words in front of Xie Zhan, and would he worry about his future promotion?

The more I thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and Mr. Zhao's attitude became more sincere.

But Xie Zhan didn't appreciate it. He glanced at Mr. Zhao with an uncertain expression, "The princess who has been personally granted the title by the Holy Emperor has made great contributions to the desert. Your family makes her a concubine. It's not just a saying that women and children who are ignorant can be dismissed."

of."

His expression was dull, as if he didn't know what his words meant.

Unexpectedly, even after taking the money, Xie Zhan would be so rude to him. Mr. Zhao's expression changed.

"This is a humble wife who acted inappropriately. I have already severely punished her. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Princess."

"You are also an official, and you should know what impact this matter will have if it spreads."

Mr. Zhao will naturally not care about the impact it will have on Mingxiu, but what he has to avoid is that if this matter gets out, others will definitely say that the Zhao family is unruly.

I have only been a small official for a few years, but I don't know how high the sky is. I actually want my son to take the princess as my concubine. I really don't know what to say.

Although Mr. Zhao is considered a figure in office, in an area like the capital where nobles are everywhere, he can only be regarded as a handful.

This matter can be big or small, it all depends on how Xie Zhan plans to handle it.

Mr. Zhao was not ignorant of the importance. He knelt down to Xie Zhan without saying a word and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

At the same time, I also began to secretly blame my wife. Mingxiu was a peasant girl and became the princess at a young age without much external help. Why shouldn't she be able to see her capabilities?

How could such a person just want money and take advantage?

It's fine now. If you piss off Xie Zhan, what will happen to him?

Even if there were a hundred Mingxiu, none of them would be difficult to deal with Xie Zhan.

The woman in the family got into trouble, but Mr. Zhao was pretending to be a grandson like this, which made Mingxiu feel a little uncomfortable.

No matter what, Mr. Zhao is older than her father. Although he is kneeling to Xie Zhan, Mingxiu is also in the same direction.

She felt as if there were nails growing out of her chair, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

Seeing Mingxiu's disapproval, Xie Zhan didn't want to have a conflict with her in front of others. He didn't express any opinions on Mr. Zhao's low profile. He only said: "Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. If I have nothing to do with you, I will
