Mistress

Chapter 67

Li Xiangrui left with his family and lived in a yard arranged by Xu Cheng for the Li family.

Li Yan handed the two girls to Nanny Cui, and asked Nanny Cui to teach them some rules of being slaves instead of concubines.

The day after tomorrow is Xu Cheng's enthronement day, and the things in the mansion have been moved to the palace one after another, and some small officials and servants have also gone in, and everyone is very busy.

Aunt Song and Aunt Ji were waiting for Li Yan to say when they would be able to live in the palace.Aunt Song's biological mother also came, Xu Cheng promised Aunt Song.

As for the princes and princes of the previous dynasty, Xu Cheng didn't kill any of them, they were all imprisoned, and they all lived with their wives and children.If it turns out that they don't want to live a peaceful life with their wives and children within the high walls, and only want to get back to Ye, then it's not too late to kill them.

The Song family was outdated, without prestige and influence, so they were exiled.

These few days Xu Cheng had too many things to arrange, so he seldom met Li Yan. This evening, he came over to have dinner and try on the dragon robe by the way.

Perhaps Xu Cheng was born with the appearance of the Son of Heaven. After wearing the dragon robe, the dragon's majesty could not be concealed, and Li Yan couldn't help but take a few steps back with the aura of royal dignity.

The so-called Longyan should not look directly at, Li Yan stood aside with downcast eyes.

Seeing Li Yan's appearance, Xu Cheng let out a very light smile, thinking to himself, you are obviously very courageous, so you are not afraid of him wearing a dragon robe.He opened his arms, and Li Yan came over and took them off for him.

Nanny Cui and Qing'er didn't think these details were important, but the two new girls were amazed. Isn't it what servants should do to undress the emperor? How come the future queen will do it? I can't help but feel that Li Yan is too disregarding her noble status.In their eyes, Li Yan is superior, her hands can be used to hit people, but they are definitely not used to serve people.

After changing his clothes, Xu Cheng waved his servants back and sat down facing Li Yan, "Ma'am, your phoenix robe is already ready, why don't you see me and try it?"

Li Yan deliberately smiled and asked: "You didn't say you would make me the empress, how dare I try?"

Xu Cheng squinted at her, "It's tailor-made for you, if you don't choose who you want, why are you pretending to me?"

"That's pretty much the same, what I want is your words." Li Yan pursed her lips and smiled, thinking about something else in her heart, she said bluntly, "We are going to move into the palace tomorrow, but Aunt Ji and Song Auntie, you haven't arranged yet?"

The corner of Xu Cheng's mouth raised, "Didn't it be agreed a long time ago that Aunt Ji sent out the mansion, and Aunt Song will follow us to the palace. After ascending the throne, everything has been arranged properly. My respect to Aunt Song, Chi'er, Jiao There will be other arrangements later."

Li Yan was secretly surprised when she heard this, did she have other arrangements for Aunt Song, mother and son?It probably means to let them out of the palace.

Li Yan felt that she should be happy, but she felt that it was not real enough. Xu Cheng really only wanted her alone?
Xu Cheng also knew that Li Yan must be happy to hear this, but she is a jealous person.He stood up, "Ma'am, rest early, tomorrow I will be tired due to many things, I will go to meet Aunt Ji for a while, and let her prepare to leave the house."

Li Yan smiled and nodded.

When Xu Cheng came to Qiushui Pavilion, Aunt Ji was incoherent with excitement. She thought Xu Cheng was asking her to go into the palace with her. "Master, no, Your Majesty, I'm looking forward to you so much that my heart is going to break, I thought..."

Xu Cheng raised his hand to signal her to stop, he didn't want to hear this.

He glanced at the maids in the room, saw Qi'er, and said, "Qi'er, take Xue'er and Zi'er back to Madam's place and help pack things. There are few people in her room, so I'm afraid it will be the next day." too busy."

"Yes." Qi'er went out happily, she was already tired of staying here.

Xu Cheng looked at Qiao'er again, "Go and pack Ji Yanqiu's things, and your own."

Qiao'er said happily: "The maidservant has already tidied up yesterday."

Aunt Ji also had a happy face, but she didn't quite understand why Xu Cheng suddenly called her by her name.

Xu Cheng looked at Aunt Ji in bewilderment, feeling that she was getting more and more stupid, how could she get into the palace after doing such a thing by herself?

He looked at Aunt Ji silently with a cold face.Aunt Ji gradually felt that something was wrong, and suddenly knelt down, "Master... Your Majesty, did this concubine do something wrong? Even if I did something wrong, my wife has punished me. I have suffered the crime for more than two months. Is the emperor still not relieved?"

But Xu Cheng said: "I don't need to relieve my anger. I am not angry in the first place. The reason why I restrained your feet is because I am afraid that you will report to the outside world. When you first entered the mansion, you were still very docile and obedient. He was ordered by Ye Zheng, but I can see that at that time you didn't want to do things for him, you wanted to serve me wholeheartedly, but later... slowly changed, since your original intention has changed, you should have known what you would be end."

Aunt Ji was terrified, and walked up to Xu Cheng on her knees, looking at him from a very close distance, "I have never changed my mind, but the emperor..."

"Call me master, I will not ascend the throne until the day after tomorrow." Xu Cheng reminded.

Aunt Ji paused for a moment, then continued: "It's just that the master has always been indifferent to the concubine. He often only sees the master once or twice a month. Even if we meet, the master has never said a few words to the concubine. Heartwarming words. Since the master knew that the concubine did not want to do things for Ye Zheng, but only wanted to serve the master wholeheartedly, why did the master treat the concubine like that? Although the concubine has done many wrong things in the past few years, there is no time I don't want to be able to serve by Master's side at any moment, but Master, you won't let me."

Aunt Ji burst into tears, and her voice was full of emotion, which was enough to make one's heart soften.

These are enough to deal with ordinary men, but they can't shake Xu Cheng's firm heart.He has never been indecisive in doing things, and since he said he wanted her to leave the house, he would never change it. "

He stood up and said, "Boss Lin will send you and Qiaoer out of the mansion later. The world is so big that no one will stop you wherever you want to go. You can't spend all that Ye Zheng gave you in your lifetime. Why do you have to follow me, you... just do it yourself."

Xu Cheng lifted his legs and left. Aunt Ji was impatient and grabbed Xu Cheng's ankle. Now she was crying so hard that her heart was broken, "Master...Master..., can you forgive this concubine once, please, Ji family I must have fled long ago, I can’t find my natal family, and I’m alone with no relatives, even if I have money that I can’t spend in my life, it’s lonely without someone to accompany me.”

Xu Cheng turned around and said, "Isn't there Qiaoer accompanying you?"

"She...?" Aunt Ji couldn't tell. What she wanted was a man, not a girl.

Xu Cheng seemed to understand what she meant, "You can remarry, you can have a husband, and you will have children in the future. You won't be alone for the rest of your life. Just...you have to remember, keep your eyes open, and don't be bullied by men. tricked."

Xu Cheng pulled out his foot and left.

Aunt Ji let her tears flow, she wanted to say that Xu Cheng was the only one she really loved in her heart, and other men could not comfort her.

But what's the use of saying it, Xu Cheng pretended he didn't hear it, anyway, he was going to be emperor, and there were so many beauties in the world, she couldn't be considered the most beautiful in the world.Xu Cheng left, Aunt Ji was crying and trembling, but Qiaoer was crying there.

Just now when Xu Cheng was here, Qiao'er didn't dare to cry, but now she is crying with her voice open, she doesn't want to go outside with Ji Yanqiu, she also wants to go into the palace to have a look.

The master and the servant cried for a whole hour, Aunt Ji was really tired from crying, and Qiaoer was still crying more and more miserablely.

"Stop howling!" Aunt Ji yelled at her, "I know you all have no conscience, Ying'er has benefited so much from me, once you leave this Qiushui Pavilion, you won't see her anymore, and you too, follow me Is it going to make you suffer? If I sell anything, it will be enough for you to live for the rest of your life. If you don’t want to serve me, get out now!”

Qiaoer stopped abruptly, not daring to cry any more, at least she could at least dress well and eat well with Aunt Ji, and live alone with nothing, that would be extremely miserable.

Steward Lin came over and helped to load Aunt Ji's boxes of things into the carriage.

Steward Lin also said: "The master said that the carriage and the coachman will follow you. He is worried that you and Qiao'er will be robbed of money and sex when you are out. The master also ordered that although the Ji family has all run away, the yard is still there. Now, if you don't want to go far away, you can live in your own mother's house."

Aunt Ji smiled wryly, after all Xu Cheng still had such a pitiful affection for her, at least he didn't kick her out of the house and let her be taken away by jackals, should she still thank him?

After hearing this, Qiaoer finally showed a little smile. Although Aunt Ji's father is a servant, he is still an official, and the house is not too bad. Although it is not as good as the palace, at least there is a place to stay, not to mention that Aunt Ji is worth 10,000+ taels Things, these days can not suffer.In addition, outside is more free than in the imperial palace, maybe she can get married early, and maybe Aunt Ji can give her a lot of dowry.

Aunt Ji was hesitating whether to go back to Ji's house or not. The neighbors all knew that she was Xu Cheng's concubine. Now that Xu Cheng became the emperor, he kicked her out. With her status, which man would dare to marry her?

She looked at her Qiushui Pavilion reluctantly, and refused to get into the carriage at all, and was finally pulled up by Steward Lin and the coachman.It's getting dark, if you don't leave, when will you wait?

Aunt Song saw a carriage passing by her yard, and heard Aunt Ji and Qiaoer crying in the carriage, she felt nervous for fear that Xu Cheng would also drive her out of the house.

Bi'er was overjoyed when she saw her beside her, "Auntie, the master kicked out Aunt Ji, so there will be one less person to compete for favor in the future. Such a great beauty is not wanted by the master, she must have done something shameless."

Aunt Song was full of worry, "The Song family did something like that, will the master treat me too..."

"Where is Auntie going? You are a man with children. The two young masters will be princes in the future. They are better than that delicate young master Xiao. The master will definitely value you more and more. The master also sent the old lady to you Isn't this the best proof?"

Aunt Song smiled sweetly when she heard this, as if she was already imagining how Xu Cheng would treat her better and better in the future.To be the heir that the emperor attaches great importance to, she relies on her two healthy and lively sons.

Xu Cheng returned to Zhihui Hall, immersed himself in reading the current situation in many newspapers from various places, then took a sip of the tea on the table, and saw Su Bai standing by his side, and his expression was much warmer than before, no longer bitter. With Qiu Shen's appearance, it seems that he is in a good mood.

"Su Bo, have you taken revenge for killing your father?"

Su Bai nodded, "Thank you, master, for giving me this opportunity, so that I can kill my enemy with my own hands."

Xu Cheng had already guessed who Su Bai's father-killing enemy was, but he didn't know the details, "Then can you tell me?"
