Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 47
Nanny Han looked slightly embarrassed, "The prince is wise, slaves..."

"That's all." The old lady shook her head and interrupted her, "I understand what you mean, it's just..."

"What are your scruples, Majesty?"

The old lady lay down again, half-closed her eyes.

"Mingyue is intelligent and demure, she is prepared for the rainy day, and she has an exquisite mind. Mingzhu is introverted and steady, knows how to conceal her sharpness, and makes the most of the situation. Both of them have their own advantages. If they work together, it will be..." The old lady paused here.

Nanny Han couldn't help but said, "Taijun is concerned about the eldest lady and the second lady?"

The old lady smiled wryly, "I took refuge in Yangzhou back then, if sister Shen hadn't rescued me..."

Nanny Han called out in a low voice, "Taijun."

The old matriarch sighed again, "Although the marriage between Rou'er and Qing'er was ruined because of the old ancestor's meddling, no matter what, I will break my promise in the end. Benefactor."

Nanny Han hurriedly said: "The old matriarch is blessed and healthy, and will live a long life. Why do you say these unlucky words?"

The old lady shook her head, "You were always by my side back then. That girl Rou'er was respectful, virtuous, courteous and filial. If she could be Qing'er's wife, these things wouldn't happen."

Nanny Han murmured, "Taijun...does he want to mention Aunt Shen as his equal wife?"

The old lady squinted her eyes, and a sharp look flashed in her eyes.Nanny Han immediately lowered her head, "Your servant has usurped you, please forgive me, Majesty."

The old matriarch closed her eyes again, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Han Nanny, how do you explain Yue compared to Mingxia?"

Nanny Han was startled, and said after deliberation: "Each has its own merits."

"Really?" The old matriarch smiled incomprehensibly, and Mingxia had a stable temperament, but after all, she was not as quick-witted as Mingyue and plotted schemes.Such a talent, as a concubine, is a pity...

"Okay, you don't have to wait here, go down."

Nanny Han bowed her knees and retreated, "Yes."

The old lady was lying on the soft couch, muttering to herself.

"Mingyue, Mingxia, Mingzhu..."

After Qiu Mingyue returned to Xueyue Pavilion, she lined up a few servant girls in a line, and glanced over their faces.

"Xueqiao, Yarui, Miwen, Lenan, Nanhai, Bingyangguxue, Zuiwen." The corners of her mouth curled slightly, "Are you voluntarily coming to my Xueyue Pavilion?" Holding the teacup, fiddled with the tea leaves with the tea lid in his right hand, asking casually.

Several people bowed their heads together, "Yes."

"Okay." With a release of his fingers, the lid of the cup landed on the mouth of the cup with a clang.She raised her eyes, her eyes were clear and majestic.

"There are only two things to do here. First, talk less and do more. Second, be absolutely sincere. You——" She turned her eyes lightly, and her voice was calm.

"Can it be done?" She picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, her eyes were silent.

The eight servant girls raised their heads and saw the young girl sitting lazily, with picturesque eyes, and she could see the majesty and majesty with every gesture.The phoenix eyes are raised slightly, the soft light is obviously smiling, but it can make people feel cold.Several people trembled in unison, and said in unison: "Yes."

"Very good." Qiu Mingyue put down her teacup, stood up, and looked at them with her hands behind her back.

"Xueqiao, Zuiwen, you two will serve outside. Miwen, Yarui, and Lingyu, the three of you are in charge of cleaning. Le Nan, Gu Xue, and Nanhai, the three of you will be arranged by Dong Xue and Madam Sun respectively. Miscellaneous items." She turned slightly and raised her eyebrows.

"Do you have any objections?"

Several servant girls bowed their heads, "I would like to follow Miss's orders."

Qiu Mingyue waved her hand, "Xia Tong, go and arrange a place for them to live."

"Yes." Xia Tong retreated with a few people.

Hong E came over, "Miss, do you want to test them?"

Qiu Mingyue leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, flipping through a book casually.

"Let Dongxue pay more attention when you have time. I don't want to be on guard against the eldest lady all day long, and at the same time worry about the thief in my heart."

"Your servant understands." Hong E replied.

"That's right." Qiu Mingyue seemed to think of something suddenly, put down the book, and said, "Let Xun Han and Xun Yun pay more attention to the maidservants around Auntie, and don't allow anyone to take advantage of them. And Mingrui, too. Be careful, once you find that there is something strange about those people, just find an excuse to make a big fuss, so as not to cause more trouble in the future."

Hong E smiled puzzled and said: "Miss tried her best to get Uncle Xiang to arrange for Xun Han Xun Yun and Bai Feng Bai Mei to enter the Qiu Mansion, why didn't you stay by her side?"

Qiu Mingyue rested her chin on one hand, her eyes wandering on the pages of the book.

"My aunt is too kind and weak. Xia Ye is sincere and commendable, but she is a bit reckless after all. Chunhong and Yuan's mother are calm, but after all, they don't have three heads and six arms. How can I rest assured? Although Mingrui is smart, but he is still young, so it is inevitable that he is innocent. Too much. I don’t have any good people around me, and I feel uneasy. This time, the time is in a hurry, and it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the eldest lady, so only four people are arranged. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely take all those crooked melons and cracked dates. Clean it up. Only when they are safe, can I deal with Da Furen in peace."

Hong E said with emotion: "Miss is painstaking, my aunt and the fifth young master will definitely be relieved." She thought for a while, then smiled: "But the young lady is so smart, she will not let my aunt and young master be wronged."

Qiu Mingyue's eyes were a little confused, "I'm already 13 years old, and I'm going to get married sooner or later. I can't protect them forever. What I can do now is to ensure that they are safe for life within these two years." Whether she wants to or not , The feudal ethics of this world are like this.Women usually start discussing marriage at the age of eleven or twelve, and can marry at the age of fourteen, five, or even 13.She knew that she couldn't escape that fate, so no matter how clever she was, she couldn't change this established fate.get married?With her current status as a concubine, even if she is favored by the Eldest Master and the Old Matriarch, she will not be able to marry a good family.Forget it, she is only 13 years old now, two years is enough to change many things.What the future holds is in their own hands.

After lunch, she went to Qiu Mingrui's courtyard Zhimingyuan.Zhimingyuan is not big, but it is also not small. There are side rooms, front halls and inner halls inside and outside the main bedroom.There is also a small study room, and a row of servants' living rooms in the back.On the side and rear is an open space, planted with pines and cypresses, let's call it a small garden.The weather in spring is pleasant, and it is very pleasant to set up wicker chairs for reading in the afternoon.

Usually, when Qiu Mingyue came to visit Qiu Mingrui, he was here most of the time to study seriously.Today, Qiu Mingrui was nowhere to be seen, only a bright young man standing in front of the pines and cypresses, leaning slightly and drawing with a brush.The plain robe is like snow, the eyebrows are handsome and elegant, and the eyes are dark and clear.As he leaned over slightly, a tuft of ink hair poured down on the paper, his side lines were soft and resolute, and his expression was serious and focused.She didn't even seem to notice when she walked in.
