Mu Huagui

Chapter 176 Night Watch
Wanxi went down with her thoughts on her mind. When she went to the princess's place yesterday, she seemed to have mentioned herself and Zhusheng.She didn't know what she said, and she didn't know what the concubine Shi Zi planned for her.

Hongmei, who was walking towards her, moved her mouth when she saw her, and finally said, "Yingxia has been a little angry recently, don't be as knowledgeable as her."

Thinking that she would care about such a small matter with her, Wanxi shook her head, "What happened yesterday was just a misunderstanding, and I won't blame her."

"Hmph, I'm just a second-class maid, not to mention I can't afford to provoke a first-class maid, I can't afford to offend future aunts and grandmas even more. I just look down on certain people, and I just say what I want to do, but I have to bend the corner to make people Go beg her. Even the concubine has moved out, I'm afraid she's going to fly to a high branch soon. Of course, she won't be 'concerned' with us 'servants'." Yingxia stood in the yard, facing Wanxi He rolled his eyes and said.

She is devoted to Zhusheng, but Zhusheng has always liked Wanqian, as long as the two are in love with each other.However, Wanqian has always admired the son of the world and refused to accept the sound of bamboo, which made Yingxia feel angry.Isn't she just a slut who just wants to get into bed, why should Zhu Sheng feel so sad.

Wanqian stood on the spot blankly, she was really afraid of something, so Mama Zhang still begged the princess.No wonder the Concubine Shizi stood in the snow waiting for the Master Shizi yesterday. It turned out that it was because of herself...

Licorice was on duty last night and was still asleep in the morning. When she heard voices outside, she asked the little girl to ask Wanxi to come and sit down.

Seeing Licorice sitting up from the bed, Wanqian forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you. Go to sleep a little longer. Shi Zifei has laid down and said she wants to sleep for a while. She didn't wake up so early."

"Yeah, I spent half the night yesterday. I guess the lady won't be able to get up in the morning. Fortunately, the princess loves the lady so much that she didn't ask her to pay her respects every day. Otherwise, the weather would be really unbearable."

"The concubine always loves the concubine, and she loves brother Shun even more." Wanqian couldn't figure out what she meant, so she just followed her mouth and said something that didn't hurt.

"Well, actually, the princess loves Wujiwu, and the one who loves him the most is the elder son. As long as the elder son likes it, she will like it. If someone dares to displease the elder son, the princess will probably dislike him immediately. Sister Wanxi ,dont you agree."

"Yes." Wanqian's face was pale, and she completely understood what she meant.The concubine would intercede for her, just to sell Zhang's mother and save the face of the concubine Shizi.

If he offends the Shizi, he will be really unhappy, and I am afraid that the princess will not give it to anyone.Whether Shi Ziye is happy or not depends on whether Shi Zifei is happy or not.

"I didn't mean that." Wanxi shrank her hands and feet, as if she had suddenly fallen from a high-ranking first-class maid to the point where everyone shouted and beat her in one day.

"Sister Wanxi, with your great contribution, you can live a relaxed and comfortable life in this life. A servant also has a way of living. At least he has served his master well, and he can still have a chance to take a look outside. You can support your children by yourself. Just go out and know that you are the concubine's servant girl, so no one will look down on you."

Licorice put on her clothes, got out of bed, held Wanqian's hand, pulled her to sit down and continued, "Why do you need to be stuck in a small yard? It's just waiting for a lifetime, and you may never be able to wait. Even if When you wait until you give birth to a child, you have to call someone else's mother. You really think that you can live on in such a life. Look at Aunt Tang, Aunt Zeng and Aunt Lin. They had a few years of glory. You Woolen cloth……"

Based on the long-term affection of the eldest son for the imperial concubine and her status as the eldest son, she may not even have a good time in the past few years.Even if she can wait until the time when Shizi Concubine is old and beautiful, but at that time, she will only be even more unbearable.

Wanqian's eyes were dull, and she seemed to be wandering away. Licorice took the hand stove and stuffed it into her hand, "Sister, sit here, I'm full of sleep, I can help you."

Licorice helped the concubine get up, Chen Jiao'er said casually, "I remember you were on duty last night."

"Miss has a good memory. It's because the servant girl couldn't sleep, so she took over Wanqian's class. I want to be with you more, so I can save more private money."

"You, saving so much private money, I think you are saving for a dowry." Chen Jiao'er glanced at the bronze mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

"Miss..." Licorice trailed off slightly, sounding like a spoiled child.

"If you don't tell me, I'll ask you too. You turned eighteen last year, and Mama Su asked you a few times, but she didn't say anything. Is there anyone who suits you? You are my big maid, so I can't be wronged." .There is no one you like in this house, and you have to find someone who satisfies you to marry if you go outside."

"Miss, I, I'm afraid I won't be good enough for her." Licorice blushed a little shyly.

Chen Jiao'er thought for a while and said, "It's Lei Huyuan."

"You can't hide anything from Miss." Licorice wasn't surprised that Shi Zifei knew about it.

There should not be too many people in the mansion trying their best to curry favor with the previous concubine, and someone would inquire about everything and go to the concubine to ask for credit.She often goes to deliver some food to Lei Shanhu, and occasionally helps him tidy up the house.Although I came to visit at the order of Shi Zifei, but in the eyes of those who came here, it is naturally clear.

"Finally, there is a refreshing one. Since you are in love with each other, why don't you deserve it? Besides, you are the person next to me, even if you are a seventh-rank county magistrate, you are worthy, let alone a guard. "Chen Jiao'er is not talking nonsense, the maid beside her has been missed by many people.

"But..." Licorice's face darkened. Although Guard Lei worked for the palace, he was a commoner. Would he be willing to marry a slave?You know, the children born to slaves are also lowly.

"Don't worry about it, I will marry you off in a good way." Chen Jiao'er knew her concerns, and she also found it funny. The people around her, from left to right, seemed to surround her.In fact, many good people have been set free by her, and they are not slaves at all.

Licorice boldly spoke out what was in her heart, and let go of a worry.Regardless of success or failure, she feels that she has no regrets.

Zhou Mingtang was very annoyed when he heard Master Su's feedback that the Zhen Guo Gongfu had rejected his marriage proposal.On the other hand, ever since Sir Su went to Zhen Guogong's mansion, the prince and concubine seemed to ignore him suddenly, never mentioned his marriage again, and didn't seem to have seen other girls.

He thought about it, and felt that he had done it so flawlessly that no one should be able to detect it.The only possibility is that the Duke of Zhenguo communicated with the prince, but, thinking about it, it seems impossible.

Duke Zhen rejected him, why would he deliberately tell the prince about this, wouldn't it be a shame.Presumably the prince should not know about it.

The remaining candidate is naturally the Seventh Miss of the Ning Family, the daughter of the brother-in-law's brother-in-law. I heard that she is both talented and beautiful. Compared with the talentless concubine, such a woman is obviously more able to add points to herself.Thinking of marrying into the mansion, Hongxiu Tianxiang collaborated on a poem or painting from time to time, wouldn't it make the eldest brother and the others jealous.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mingtang, who was rejected by Duke Zhen, became happy again.Anyway, I never thought that I could really marry the queen's own sister, so the Ning family is also a good choice.As for the concubine, he would not consider it. For the sake of the next generation's lineage, he must marry a concubine and go home.

"Why is Auntie so happy today?" Zhou Mingtang rarely sees Auntie smiling like this. In her impression, the most thing Auntie does is to sigh, and then she will say anything, let him study hard To please the prince.

"Hehe, she also has this day. The eldest son of our palace is going to take a concubine." After hearing the news, Aunt Zeng was worried that no one would share it with her. When she saw her son coming, she hurriedly pulled him and said.

"Whose family's young lady?" Zhou Mingtang frowned. The eldest son's concubine can be big or small, and he will inherit the title of prince in the future.Even if they wanted to marry Duke Zhen's grandson as a side concubine, the Wei family would probably be willing.

"Bah, who's the young lady? It's the big maid in front of her, Wanqian. Hehehe, I said, guarding against coming and going, but not guarding the people around me. This time it's her savior, I It depends on how she pushes. If she pushes, the concubine will not give up this time." Aunt Zeng laughed proudly with her hips akimbo.

"What's the matter with the princess?"

"It is said that Zhang's mother backed her up, and even talked about moving the princess. Tell me, she can still screw the princess."

No wonder the mansion didn't make any noise about his affairs. It turned out that he was taking a concubine for his eldest brother, and it was more important for him to take a maid than marrying a regular wife.The more Zhou Mingtang thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, his face began to turn blue.

Seeing this, Aunt Zeng panicked, and was about to call the doctor, but Zhou Mingtang grabbed her, "It's nothing, I just thought of something."

The affairs of the Ning family can't be delayed, they must be carried out immediately, and while they are paying attention to the elder brother and not looking at themselves, they will make a marriage arrangement.At that time, the prince will not be able to come forward to deny it, or he can only admit it by pinching his nose.

Zhou Mingtang exhaled a puff of air from his nostrils, and hurriedly went to discuss with Mr. Su.If you don't bother the second master, let's find him for a trip.Besides, it was different this time, the Ning family had intended it, and it wasn't just a matter of course.

Chen Jiao'er saw that the snow outside was getting bigger and bigger, so she called the steward over, took a pair of deerskin boots, a new cloak and outer clothes, and asked him to send them to the yamen for the eldest son.

As soon as the steward left, Wanqian walked in and tentatively asked, "It's snowing too much today, do you want to send a pair of boots and clothes to Shizi?"

Licorice couldn't help but sigh, it seems that no matter how careful a slave is, it's not as good as pretending to be a careful person in his heart.Chen Jiao'er looked at her, and said softly, "I've already dispatched the manager, so it's hard for you to be thoughtful."

Wanxi lowered her head, ever since she knew that the princess had mentioned her matter to the princess, she was a little afraid to talk to the princess, she was worried just now, so she had the courage to come in.After finishing speaking, he was a little hesitant, not knowing how to continue.

"Brother Shun has been a little noisy these days. I'll be with Brother Shun at night, so let Wanqian be on duty today." Chen Jiao'er suddenly understood, if Zhou Mingyuan only had her in his heart, then what would be scary about her.

It's cruel to accept a famous aunt who stays alone in her empty boudoir every day, but since it's what she wants, then let her do what she wants.
