Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 144

The two concubines, Fang Li and Fang Yi, are as grateful to the Wang family as their own daughter-in-law. Their aunts are not very favored in the Yongning Hou Mansion, and they even have children as maidservants. This kind of maid gave birth to a son, don't give birth to study and practice martial arts, the aunt's relentless suppression is afraid that the concubine will take away the limelight from his own son.

Therefore, the two bastards are usually close to the Wang family. Although they are not close enough, there is nothing they can do about it. After all, they have no blood relationship with the Wang family, and they have to avoid suspicion for a lot of time.

The five sons of the Yongning Hou Mansion are now full of people in the capital who don't give a thumbs up when they mention it!Although some mistresses disapproved of Wang's actions, thinking that she was setting up enemies for her son.But no matter how disapproving they were, they had to admire Wang's mind, because even their husband and mother-in-law praised Mrs. Yongning Hou very much. Do they dare to say that Wang's doing is not good?

Shuning bid farewell to the queen, and returned to Changning Palace in a soft sedan chair. Nanny Liu brought Mei Chun and Mei Xia had already prepared hot water.After washing off the dust all over her body, Shuning sat in the main hall and accepted the worship of everyone in Changning Palace.

"It's great that the empress is back, the servant has missed the empress recently."

Mei Xia served Shu Ning a bowl of rock sugar pear syrup, it's already September, so it's time to protect the master's throat.This is how they took care of their master in the Marquis of Yongning in previous years. Every season, they would prepare some soup and water for the master that was good for her body.

"I miss you too, Madam Liu, for your hard work these past two months, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver."

Shu Ning looked at the serious Nanny Liu, Chang Ning Palace was well taken care of by her, and Shu Ning was not a stingy person, so she directly rewarded her with 100 taels of silver.

"Slave servant thank you, master and empress."

Nanny Liu accepted the reward with a smile in her eyes. Don't look at her as the nanny in charge of Changning Palace, 100 taels of silver is also her monthly salary for several months.These nuns will also leave the palace when they get old, so in addition to serving their master well during their lives in the palace, they also work hard to save money, so that they will not run out of money when they return home when they are old.

Of course, if the master is willing to support them until they are old, they can also stay with the master and serve them until they can no longer move. At that time, the master will find another quiet place for them to spend their last years.This is much better than going back to their hometown, so many nuns are especially envious of those who are valued by their masters to stay with them.

But Nanny Liu and Nanny Bai are really working hard in this direction, trying to win the old master to reward them with a favor, so that they don't have to go back to their hometown to find another life.

"That's what it should be. Others are also rewarded. Five taels of silver per person, and 20 taels for Mei Chun and Mei Xia."

Shuning finished rewarding those who stayed behind, and those she took away also rewarded.Bai Momo rewarded 50 taels, each of Mei Qiu, Mei Dong and Hou Lin received 20 taels, and everyone else received [-] taels each.

Xie En's voice sounded in the main hall. After dealing with these matters, Shuning went back to the inner hall to rest.

There are no other low-ranking concubines in her Changning Palace, and the entire palace respects her alone. There are not many things to deal with, and it is much easier to deal with.Nanny Liu only needs to tell her what happened in the palace in the past two months after she has rested.

"The second princess is sick?"

Shu Ning leaned on the couch, and was a little surprised when she heard Madam Liu's words.

"I remember that the second princess was raised in front of concubine Xuan, right? After Concubine Xuan was demoted this time, the emperor didn't let her raise the second princess anymore, and let the second princess return to her mother, Qin Shunyi."

"Yes, ma'am. It stands to reason that Shunyi of the fifth rank is not qualified to raise the emperor's heir, but with the emperor's special decree, Qin Shunyi happily took back the second princess. It's just that the second princess was raised by the empress concubine Xuan. After all, she is not a biological mother, so it is inevitable that she will be neglected, the second princess is much weaker than the eldest princess, and she fell ill when she returned to Qin Shunyi's side, and she still hasn't recovered yet."

When Madam Liu talked about the second princess, she couldn't help but sigh for her. In this palace, only those concubines who are sure that they will not give birth to an emperor's heir will treat the children they adopt with care, like the concubine Xuan. Good for the second princess.Usually Qin Shunyi took the greetings to the queen mother and queen, and she didn't care much about the life and death of the second princess at all.

Qin Shunyi was born as a maid in the palace back then, and by chance she was favored by the emperor and gave birth to the second princess. Afterwards, she was never summoned. It took her qualifications to get to Shunyi's current position, and she couldn't even raise the second princess.

Fortunately, concubine Xuan didn't care about the second princess and didn't stop Qin Shunyi from taking care of her, which made the life of the second princess much easier in the palace.After all, with her own mother watching, Qin Shunyi gave the second princess all the things she was reluctant to use, just to make her feel better.I am also glad that Concubine Xuan's conscience has not been completely destroyed. Although Concubine Xuan's share of the second princess is in the hands of Concubine Xuan, she is not greedy. Compared with Concubine Xian who directly takes the share of the eldest prince and uses it for herself, Concubine Xuan is like this. It's already pretty good.
