Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2200

Jiang Mengnan was unhappy with her own life and didn't want to make others comfortable. "It's time for my sisters to get married. The third and fourth sisters are both pretty. Why don't we pick one to be the concubine of Master Huo? Then we can become in-laws."

Wang agreed to this proposal. She had long considered this idea and wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion.

She has several well-bred concubines, all of whom are good-looking. She can pick one to marry as a concubine first. After a while, as long as she can outlive the wife, it is not impossible that she can become the first wife in the future.

The reason Wang felt it was a sure thing was simple: the Crown Prince's wife had been married into the Huo family for five years without having any children. Since the Earl of Huaiyang only had one son, he must have been very anxious.

After the mother and daughter had a discussion, Wang brought several concubines to the Huaiyang Earl's Mansion under the pretext of appreciating flowers.

When Qiu Hongyan was listlessly preparing to go back to her room to rest, she heard the conversation between several concubines of the Jiang family.

"Hehe, Third Sister, with the look on your face, Master Huo must be completely captivated by you."

The girl called "Third Sister" smiled and said, "Fifth Sister, don't talk nonsense. Your fourth sister is more beautiful."

The "fourth sister" laughed again and said, "Keep your voices down. If this gets to the Crown Prince's wife and she gets on the alert, it could ruin everything and cause a lot of trouble."

The third sister said, "Well, fourth sister, you've thought it through very carefully. But let's make it clear that no matter who wins Master Huo's favor, the other sisters are not allowed to feel jealous. We must help each other in the future, okay?"

Several girls were admiring the flowers and saying "yes" at the same time, as if one of them would soon be taken into the Huaiyang Marquis's mansion.

Qiu Hongyan's personal maid Su Juan was very angry, "Master, these girls are so shameless, and they are girls from the Bo Mansion."

Qiu Hongyan was already in a bad mood. Hearing these words, she remembered that when she went to the main courtyard just now, she heard her mother-in-law say to the Linyang Marquis's wife, "The girls raised in your Marquis's house are naturally more beautiful than flowers. Just looking at them makes me feel good."

It turned out that she wanted to take a concubine for her husband.

When Huo Siwu returned home that night, the couple chatted for a while as usual.

Qiu Hongyan wanted to tell her mother-in-law several times that she might want to take a concubine for her husband, but when the words came to her lips, she felt sad and her nose was sore, and she couldn't say it in the end.

Huo Siwu didn't notice anything unusual about his wife, and fell asleep right after taking a bath. He hadn't slept well for five or six days, and he was so sleepy.

Qiu Hongyan lit a candle and stared at her husband sleeping for half the night.

Later, she couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep. When she woke up, Huo Siwu had gone to the Ministry of War.

He left and didn't return for three days.

Qiu Hongyan no longer sent soup to the Ministry of War.

She made "Cheese Flower" that day, which is a milk custard steamed with goat's milk and egg liquid, sprinkled with sugar osmanthus, and the fragrance is refreshing.

The milk skin is covered like snow, and the egg custard is like a golden core hidden at the bottom. It is served in a small white porcelain bowl. It is crystal clear and warm, and it makes people happy just by looking at it.

Mrs. Huo looked very happy and said, "Our little beauty is really skillful."

Qiu Hongyan smiled sweetly and said, "Grandma, please try it and see if it tastes good."

Madam Huo nodded repeatedly before she even started eating, "Delicious, delicious. Everything Xiao Hongyan makes tastes good."

Qiu Hongyan said coquettishly, "Grandma, you haven't eaten yet."

"Eat, eat, eat," Mrs. Huo smiled lovingly. "It smells delicious." She took a bite, savored it slowly, took another bite, and then took several bites in a row. "It's really delicious."

The old nanny beside her laughed and said, "The old lady has never liked desserts, but today she finished this bowl of yogurt."

It can be seen that he really likes to eat.

Qiu Hongyan explained, "Goat cheese soup nourishes the lungs and benefits the intestines, so it's good for Grandma. If you like it, I'll make it again tomorrow."

Mrs. Huo smiled happily and said, "I love it. I want to eat it again tomorrow."

"What's so delicious?" Mrs. Huo, Mrs. Ding, stepped into the room and saw Qiu Hongyan there. She also saw the empty white porcelain bowl on the table and asked with a smile, "Hongyan, is there any of this good stuff for me?"
