The Red Mansion En Xiaohou

Chapter 81 The illegitimate daughter of Duke Qi (please subscribe!)

Jia Shan and Shen Conglin in the room looked at each other.

Shen Conglin became flustered. Could it be that the princess had heard everything Jia Shan said just now?

This is how to do.

A sneer flashed in Jia Shan's eyes.

"Uncle, why don't you open the door quickly and invite Her Royal Highness in?"

Shen Conglin walked to the door like a zombie and opened it.

"Junior Sister Hengyang!"

"Brother!"

The two greeted each other, and Shen Conglin awkwardly invited Princess Hengyang in.

After Princess Hengyang was completely seated, Shen Conglin saluted Princess Hengyang solemnly.

"The student offended the princess, please forgive me."

"Senior brother, what are you talking about? Where did you offend me?"

Princess Hengyang pretended not to understand and helped Shen Conglin, and surprise flashed in Shen Conglin's eyes.

"The princess was outside and didn't hear what Cong Lin said?"

Princess Hengyang smiled lightly at Shen Conglin.

"I just came here, can you hear something? Did senior brother say something bad to me?"

Shen Conglin glanced sideways at Jia Shan, who was snickering.

This princess is also a wonderful person. She obviously heard everything, but she still pretended.

But think about it, Princess Hengyang is the daughter of the emperor, how can she take the initiative to say that she likes someone.

Princess Hengyang's eyes followed Shen Conglin and landed on Jia Shan.

Feeling the gazes of the two people, Jia Shan stopped smiling.

"Jia Shan, I would like to ask you, what did your uncle tell you about me?"

Jia Shan glanced at Shen Conglin, stood up and saluted the princess.

"I didn't say anything. I just praised the princess for her beauty."

"real?!"

The princess looked at Jashan with a chuckle.

With a thought in her mind, Jia Shan glanced at Shen Conglin again. Shen Conglin panicked instantly and tried his best to hint to Jia Shan not to talk nonsense.

Jashan's eyes rolled.

"Really, my uncle followed suit and praised the princess as the most beautiful woman in the world."

Princess Hengyang smiled even more beautifully, and confusion flashed in the eyes of the palace maid following her.

The princess obviously heard everything outside the door, so why did she still believe what this little thief said.

Jia Shan grabbed the maid next to the princess.

The palace maid was shocked and subconsciously wanted to push Jia Shan to the ground.

Princess Hengyang glanced over and the palace maid became quiet.

Jia Shan pulled the palace maid and raised her deliberately torn sleeves.

"Your Highness, can you ask this sister to help me sew the sleeve that I accidentally tore."

Princess Hengyang nodded.

"Princess!"

The little maid was reluctant, Princess Hengyang's scolding sounded, and the little maid had to follow Jia Shan out.

When they got outside, Jia Shan let go of the palace maid's sleeve.

The palace maid looked at Jia Shan as if she saw something disgusting, and Jia Shan rolled her eyes silently in her heart.

Why are you pretending to be noble? If it weren't for his uncle, he wouldn't hesitate to do it.

Jia Shan left the palace maid in the cold to find Zhengbi.

At this time, Zhengbi was boiling hot water to pluck chicken feathers.

"Fourth Master, why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?"

"You can come if you want, but don't let the messy kitchen hurt you."

Jashan kicked the firewood beside her feet and sat in a clean place.

Zhengbi looked at Jia Shan doubtfully.

This little fourth master, who was cheerful just now, is suddenly unhappy now.

Until Zhengbi saw the palace maid standing outside, Zhengbi understood instantly.

"That girl has a bad temper. Fourth Master, please don't be the same as that girl."

Jashan raised her head depressedly.

"How do you know I was angry at that girl?"

Zhengbi smiled innocently at Jia Shan and kept moving his hands.

"Because I was also made angry by that girl."

"Oh?"

Jia Shan looked at Zhengbi in shock, seeing how capable the palace maid was.

"How did she mess with you?"

"I didn't provoke much. I just came here to find faults. I disliked this and that. They said that the tea was not brewed well and it was not worthy of the princess. She asked me to brew it again. The princess didn't even dislike it. Why do you think she asked a palace maid to do that? high!"

He opened the chicken's neck quickly and bright red blood flowed out of the chicken's neck.

"That's all?"

Jia Shan frowned and looked at Zhengbi. Zhengbi didn't seem like someone who would get angry over such a trivial matter.

Zhengbi raised his head and glanced at Jia Shan.

"more than!"

"What else could she say about you?"

"She also said that I didn't cook well and was feeding the pigs."

Zhengbi felt aggrieved.

Jia Shan had eaten the food cooked by Zheng Bi. It was not as exquisite as the chefs from wealthy families, but it still had a different flavor.

This palace maid is really too much. This is not a royal palace. It is good to have such treatment. She still dislikes this and that. I don't think the princess would dislike her. There is nothing to dislike about her.

Zhengbi, who was bleeding the chicken, became angrier as he thought about it.

This person is really too much, how could you bully him like this?

Thinking of this, Zhengbi looked at Jia Shan again.

"Fourth Master, do you know that the surname of the Duke of our household in Kyoto is Chen? She seems to be a daughter of a Duke of some kind."

Jia Shan twitched her lips. There was only one Duke named Chen in Kyoto. How could it be such a coincidence?

That girl actually belongs to the Duke of Qi's family. Has any girl from the Duke of Qi's family entered the palace?

It seems he hasn’t heard of this!

Just as Jia Shan was thinking about it, the palace maid broke in.

"You damn boy, how dare you talk about me behind my back."

Zhengbi was frightened and hid behind Jia Shan, who frowned and looked at the palace maid in front of him.

"Come out for me."

"You won't go out. Who do you think you are? You are just a maid in the palace. Why should I listen to you?"

Zhengbi hid behind Jia Shan and yelled at the palace maid.

I don't know which part of her body was stimulated by the writing, but the palace maid actually squatted on the ground and cried loudly.

Jia Shan stared at the palace maid in front of her silently.

There is nothing to cry about, Zhengbi is right.

A palace maid is just a maid in the palace. She bullied others and did not allow others to tell her.

Jia Shan didn't want to ask for trouble by talking to this maid, so she sat where she was sitting and watched the real thing being done.

After a while, a chicken was cooked.

Jashan began to salivate in her mouth.

"Do you still remember the fried chicken I taught you?"

"Remember!"

Zhengbi looked at Jia Shan with a smile.

"Fourth Master wants to eat it."

Jason nodded.

"I really want to take a bite of this."

Seeing Jia Shan's longing look and remembering Jia Shan's harsh treatment before, Zhengbi kept moving his hands and his face became serious.

"Fourth Master wants to take a bite of this every time he comes, but the Rongguo Mansion treats you harshly again."

In such a large Rongguo Mansion, one eggplant needs to be served with more than a dozen chickens. Why does the Fourth Master want to eat this fried chicken every time he comes here?

Jia Shan shook her head in confusion. "With my uncle here, how could the family treat me harshly? It's just that there are rules in this family that don't allow a kid as big as me to eat too many fried foods."

"You also know my taste, I prefer this one."

Zhengbi nodded.

"That's why I worry too much."

The palace maid who was squatting on the ground paused when she heard the name of Rongguo Mansion. She didn't know what she was thinking.

Then he stood up from the ground and walked straight towards Jia Shan.

Jia Shan looked warily at the little palace maid who looked down on her before.

I don't know where the palace maid made the mistake to suddenly salute Jia Shan.

Jashan quickly ducked away.

Youdao doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything, but this palace maid doesn't seem like a good person.

There must be something for him to suddenly become so respectful.

Looking at Jia Shan's appearance, the palace maid gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with tears again.

Jia Shan and Zheng Bi looked at each other, wondering what they were going to do.

They are not the cause of the crying, don't end up relying on them.

Just as Jia Shan and Zhengbi were thinking about it, the little palace maid suddenly knelt down to Jia Shan.

Zhengbi quickly protected Jia Shan.

"What are you trying to do? My fourth master didn't recruit you. Don't play a trick to harm my fourth master."

The little palace maid glanced at Zhengbi and pushed Zhengbi away.

"Before, my little girl had blind eyes and could not see Taishan. Please help me send a letter to my family."

Jia Shan frowned and asked him to send a message?
"Which family are you from?"

"From the Duke of Qi's mansion."

The little palace maid lowered her head with some guilt.

"Are you sure? I haven't heard that there is a girl from Duke Qi's family in the palace. Besides, you are asking me for the wrong thing. I don't want to deal with your young master Chen Siqi."

"I am not from the Duke of Qi's family, but you are willing to give it to me."

The little palace maid spoke again, which made Jia Shan doubt the identity of the palace maid.

Jia Shan squinted her eyes and began to look up and down the little palace maid's body.

"You said you were from the Duke of Qi's family, and now you changed your story and said you were not from the Duke of Qi's family. Who are you?"

The little palace maid bit her lips tightly.

Jia Shan's eyes darkened, and she stepped forward and grabbed the little palace maid's wrist.

"The official tied up this palace maid, I suspect that she did it carefully!"

"I'm not, I'm not, Master!"

The little palace maid shook her head desperately.

"You're not, then who are you?"

"If you don't say anything, I will send you to Fengqiwei. There will be many ways to make you open your mouth."

The little palace maid shed tears and kowtowed to Jia Shan.

"Young Master may promise not to tell anyone if he finds out."

The little palace maid looked straight at Jia Shan, and Jia Shan frowned.

There are a lot of scandals in the big family. This little palace maid could not have been born from an outside wife.

In my memory, the old Duke of Qi seems to be quite afraid of his wife, but being afraid of his wife does not mean that he has to keep his integrity.

In this age where men are superior to women, there are many ways to steal sex.

In addition, the old Duke of Qi is obviously not an honest person.

The little palace maid knelt in front of Jia Shan and handed a jade pendant to Jia Shan.

"My mother is the concubine of Duke Qi."

Jia Shan raised her eyebrows, and he really hit the mark. This girl really came from an outsider.

"I can't help you. I don't have a close relationship with your family."

Jia Shan refused the little palace maid without hesitation, and the little palace maid burst into tears again.

"Master, can't you help me?"

"Why do I have to help you when we are not related to each other? Why should I offend Mrs. Chen for your sake?"

Jashan got to the point.

There must be some reason why the little palace maid in front of her is not tolerated by Mrs. Chen. The reason why is to reveal a piece of the Chen family's past.

The little palace maid stood up from the ground in embarrassment and turned around, with a look of jealousy flashing in her eyes.

Zhengbi pulled Jashan worriedly.

"Fourth Master, have you seen the look in her eyes? Will she take revenge on you?"

Jia Shan glanced at the back of the little palace maid and shrugged helplessly.

"It's possible."

"It's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. That girl is really not an economical lamp. Fourth Master might as well help her with it, otherwise he will be afraid of her revenge later."

It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. This is what the author says.

But there is really no need for him to offend Mrs. Chen because of a concubine.

Although that girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she can still compare to Mrs. Chen, a thousand-year-old fox.

Wang Ziteng's wife is from the Chen family. What are her methods?
This girl's eyes are high but her skills are low, and coupled with her temper, she won't be able to achieve anything great.

In the study, Shen Conglin sat silently opposite Princess Hengyang.

Shen Conglin did not dare to look at Princess Hengyang, and Princess Hengyang focused her eyes directly on Shen Conglin.

The two of them just sat like this, the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Princess Hengyang took a sip of tea.

"Senior brother, I don't have anything to say."

Shen Conglin blushed and raised his head.

"What Shan'er said was a joke. The student never said that. Princess, don't take it seriously."

Princess Hengyang looked at Shen Conglin with a smile.

"I know that kid wasn't telling the truth because I heard it all."

Shen Conglin's face turned redder.

Princess Hengyang walked to the window, took out a flower from the vase by the window, and handed it to Shen Conglin.

Shen Conglin took it dully.

"I can take charge of my affairs. Senior brother, if you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible. Don't wait until the flowers wither. It will be too late."

If he didn't understand such a bold hint, he would be a fool.

Shen Conglin stood up from his chair excitedly and saluted Princess Hengyang.

"Junior sister, are you willing to wait for me?"

"What are you waiting for?"

Princess Hengyang looked at Shen Conglin calmly.

"Wait until I am the top pick in high school next year. I promise to give an explanation to my junior sister."

Princess Hengyang nodded and laughed.

After laughing, Princess Hengyang's expression became serious again.

"You are willing."

Shen Conglin nodded without thinking. If he didn't like her, he wouldn't have too much contact with the princess.

"Just be willing. Don't be like my fifth uncle who became reluctant again after marrying the princess."

The fifth uncle mentioned by Princess Hengyang is the consort of Princess Lanling, the daughter of the Supreme Emperor. This marriage between the two families is a matter of love between you and me.

She was reluctant at first, and the princess didn't have to marry him. In the end, she turned out to be a cousin from a poor family who had been engaged before, which was really chilling.

This incident caused quite a stir in Beijing at that time, and even now the storyteller still tells this story in teahouses.

Shen Conglin was lucky enough to have heard about it before. Knowing what the princess was talking about, he immediately took off his ancestral jade pendant and stuffed it into Princess Hengyang's hands.

Princess Hengyang looked at the jade pendant in her hand, and then at Shen Conglin.

Shen Conglin stammered.

"I know what the princess is going to say. This is a family heirloom in my family. Cong Lin can't guarantee it. The only thing I can be sure of is that I don't have any cousins. My only sister was a drunkard when she gave birth to my nephew. Died in childbirth.”

Shen Conglin's mood began to become depressed. Princess Hengyang had already sent people to inquire about the affairs of Shen Conglin's family.

As for Shen Conglin's sister, Jia Shan's biological mother, Princess Hengyang probably knows more than Shen Conglin knows.

Princess Hengyang comforted Shen Conglin softly.

In the kitchen, Zhengbi had already cooked the meal.

Jashan picked a random piece of fried chicken and ate it.

"How's it going, Fourth Master?"

Jia Shan gave Zhengbi a thumbs up.

"Your cooking is getting better and better. From now on, instead of working as a book boy for my uncle, come and work as a cook for me."
