Chapter 4
A hundred black-armored guards came up the official road, all of them were strong and sturdy, and guarded in the center was a green-covered and pearl-tasseled eight-treasure chariot, which was very powerful when seen from a distance.

"It's from Prince Ji's Mansion." Pedestrians, seeing the big congratulatory words on the flag, stepped aside in awe.

"I don't know which noble person from the palace is traveling?" A curious little girl looked at the carriage inlaid with gold and treasures with a look of envy.

"My God, look at the emblems on the left arms of these guards. They are the iron armored guards of the prince!" The three guards of Jizhou, iron armor, silver armor, and gold armor, are the personal guards of Prince Ji's son.It is said that the soldiers among them are all elites selected from among the elites, and they have the ability to fight against a hundred. However, these three guards are not easily dispatched, and only pierce the enemy's confidantes like a sharp knife on the battlefield.

But now the hundred armored guards only guarded one carriage.

Who is the person in this car?
Just at this time, a gust of cool wind blew, and a corner of the blue gauze curtain was blown up, revealing the graceful figure inside, before everyone looked closely, the curtain closed again.

However, with just a glimpse, one can already see the stunning beauty of the beauties inside.

"Girl, maidservant, madam!" The servant girl hurriedly changed her words, with a panicked expression on her face, for fear of being punished.

"Don't do it again next time, forget it this time."

This carriage is very spacious, and a partition in the middle divides the space into two parts, the front and the back. There is a small table with futon hidden pillows in the front, where you can drink tea and chat, and a bed in the back for resting.

After four or five days of walking from Zhuangzili, Hui County, Yao Tong was a little tired, leaning on the soft pillow and closing his eyes to rest, "What's the matter?"

"The guards have sent news that we will be able to arrive at the Daming Mansion tonight, but it's getting late, Madam will rest in the other courtyard first before going to the Wang Mansion."

Yao Tong opened his eyes, but his expression didn't change because of her words, "Okay, go down and pass on my words, you've worked hard for us these few days, and when you get to the other courtyard, let everyone have a good rest."

"Yes, the servant girl will leave."

She replayed He Zhenghan's words and deeds that day over and over again. His posture was flirtatious and frivolous, but he didn't make any further movements.She had lived for 24 years in the previous life. Although she had no actual experience, she knew everything she should know, and even though he touched her body all over, she was still calm, without even any desire.

But he had someone change his name from an ambiguous and humble girl to Mrs.

The newly picked maid thought she was attractive and seduced him.

But she knew that this man had no affection for her in his eyes or heart.

She couldn't figure out his purpose for doing this, so she could only remind herself from time to time and be vigilant secretly.

He stayed on Zhuangzi for seven or eight days, and he didn't leave until her wound was fine.

Before leaving, he ordered someone to send her to Daming Mansion, which is the seat of Jizhou, and the Prince Ji's Mansion is also there.

Yao Tong didn't know his whereabouts, and he didn't dare to ask.

But he was apprehensive about going to Prince Ji's Mansion.

With King Zheng's behavior and her status, Prince Ji's Mansion might not welcome her.

Thinking of that high nanny who kept saying that the concubine gave her death, maybe it was not just that she was not welcome.
While thinking wildly, time passed quickly, and when it was getting dark, I arrived at the other courtyard.

Yao Tong waited anxiously in the other courtyard for several days, and finally got the news.

"The concubine's body is not very comfortable. The doctors all said that they should not see strangers, so as not to collide again. The prince and the son are filial. These days, even the adults in the front yard seldom come, and the backyard is even worse. Lock the door and close the house, and no one else is allowed to enter." The nanny who came to the Prince Ji's mansion had a smile on her face, and after finishing the message, she gave a blessing, "If you are impolite, please take care of this nobleman. The old servant is leaving. .”

After listening to her words, the maids looked depressed, but Yao Tong was very happy.

In her opinion, Prince Ji's Mansion is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and she can't wait to go there now.

As for the neglect of the elders who the servant girls were worried about, she didn't care at all if they didn't recognize her as a wife.

She just wants to save her life and live well.

She wished to stay as far away as possible from those so-called fights for favor.

The person who sent away the man who came to Prince Ji's Mansion confirmed that he would stay in another dean, Yao Tong started to rectify, and the place where he lived must be more comfortable.

First, according to the roster, they met the people in the other courtyard, and then set a few rules, with the matter of Zhuangzi in Hui County first, and He Zhenghan's bloody methods made people tremble.The servants in this other courtyard, no matter what they think in their hearts, they are all well-behaved and extremely obedient.

Then according to the performance of these days, some adjustments were made to the servant girl who served close to her.Those who talk less and obediently will be promoted to a higher class, and the monthly payment will be doubled.

After some actions, everyone knew that this embarrassing lady was not a dough person to be kneaded by others, so they couldn't help being afraid.

No one dared not treat her as a master anymore.

I don't want to, Yao Tong's happy days have not passed a few days, and a flying horse sent a letter.

A letter written by He Zhenghan.

"Sure enough."

After reading the letter, Yao Tong lay on his back on the bed, staring at the gauze curtain absently, his mind was in a mess for a while, and he was choking with breath for a while. Things were as she expected, but she didn't have any joy in guessing.

Silently counting the animals embroidered on the verdant green double-embroidered grass and insect gauze tent, the little grasshopper, little grasshopper, little butterfly, and little dragonfly are all cute and weak things.

She was startled, turned over and sat up. In He Zhenghan's eyes, she was probably the same as these weak little things, except for his protection, she had no ability to survive.

No, she must make him feel useful.

After I figured it out, I felt that the sadness just now was unreasonable.

Yao Tong shook his head and smiled, and called someone in. She must do well what he explained for the first time.

The next day, Yao Tong got up early to freshen up, brushed her crescent eyebrows lightly, applied makeup lightly, and her lips were slightly tinged.Like clouds and black hair tied up into a shocking bun, a red jade peony hairpin is inserted obliquely between the buns, and a string of beads is wrapped around the forehead. Pink pearls of normal size are round and clear.

Wearing a long-sleeved gown, under the arse-colored long gown is a thin, soft and smooth off-white long skirt, which is densely embroidered with large peony flowers, and the petals tremble like they are about to drop dew when they move slightly.Under the skirt is a pair of soft-soled pearl embroidered shoes, with a tight waist and tight grip.

Such a luxurious attire further accentuated her glamorous appearance.

After dressing up, the doctor who came to check the pulse and all the maids took a breath together, their eyes were full of surprise.

Doctor Shi has good taste, so Yao Tong invited her to accompany her, and in a gorgeous red-wheeled canopy car, with many attendants, went all the way into West Street, the busiest and busiest place with the most shops in Daming Mansion.

The best silk shop, the best jewelry store. Don't choose the best, just choose the most expensive.

In just one morning, the money was spent like water.

With such a stunning appearance, such a flamboyant posture, and even a carriage with the emblem of Prince Ji's Mansion printed on it, Yao Tong quickly became a big celebrity.

"Ma'am, isn't this too ostentatious?"

Seeing that there were more and more people looking at her, especially the noble ladies in the Zhenbao Building, everyone looked sideways, their eyes were flying wildly, and the doctor Shi was worried.

"Not enough." Yao Tong smiled at her.

"Go to the best and most expensive restaurant and book the best box."

After Yao Tong finished speaking, Hou's guards immediately went to do it.

"Ma'am, this movement is too loud, if it reaches Prince Ji's mansion"

Yao Tong's heart warmed up, she knew that Doctor Shi really cared about her, "I know Auntie's worries, but I dare not not do my best to obey my master's orders."

"This is the meaning of the son of the world. Doesn't he know that this will make you a target of public criticism and bring you disaster." She suddenly understood, swallowed the words she hadn't spoken, and looked at Yao Tong with pity.

His eyes were sore, Yao Tong held her hand and smiled even brighter, with a nonchalant expression on his face, "It is said that Songhe Tower not only has chefs from the North, but also hired famous chefs from Jiangnan with a lot of money. Let's eat whatever my aunt wants to eat later."

She spoke playfully, but the nurse Shi knew that she was having fun while suffering, so she suppressed her sourness, nodded heavily, and changed the subject, as if they hadn't mentioned what happened just now.

Songhe Tower is located on the bank of Cuihu Lake. It is three stories high, with cornices and corners, and Zhulan painted buildings, which is very magnificent.

After getting off the car, Yao Tong looked up and admired for a moment.

While appreciating, a voice sounded, "Madam, everything has been arranged."

Yao Tong looked away, and walked in ostentatiously with a group of maidservants.

"Ma'am, please go upstairs."

There are only three wing rooms on the top floor of Songhe Tower, which are pine, bamboo and plum, corresponding to the three friends of Suihan. Because of the excellent view, overlooking the misty green lake, it has always been hard to find a room, and you have to book half a month in advance.

And this time, it is naturally the face of the eldest son He Zhenghan that he can get a wing room so quickly.

It also confirmed the rumor that this beauty is his favorite.

The steward of Songhe Tower, who was leading the way, pushed away the "Mei" branded wing room, and looked at the woman who looked like a fairy concubine in front of her without a trace.

"Ma'am, please wait."

The food was served quickly, with plates of delicacies with beautiful colors and aromas, steaming and fragrant.

"Auntie, I've been walking with me for a long time. You're exhausted. Sit down and eat."

Asking the nurse to sit down, Yao Tong didn't have much appetite, so he moved his chopsticks a little with her, and then asked the maid to withdraw, "You are also tired, sit down and eat slowly."

After the maids saluted, they began to eat on the small table behind the screen.

Doctor Shi opened the door to the south, and said with a smile, "Ma'am, the viewing platform over here can overlook the scenery of Green Lake, come and take a look."

Yao Tong walked to the viewing platform and looked around, there was a faint trace of green hills and a wave of clear water.It was the end of summer and early autumn, among the endless green lotus leaves, full lotus pods were crowded together, and occasionally white waterfowl swooped and dived into the water, picking up their spoils and returning triumphantly.

"The scenery is so refreshing."

Yao Tong leaned against the railing and smiled.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound on the door of the wing room.

"Ma'am, come and serve me some watermelon juice."

The maid opened the door.

"Dog slave, get out of here."

Accompanied by sharp cursing, the servant girl had already received a heavy slap on the face, and five finger marks instantly appeared on her fair skin.

There was also the sound of crackling porcelain smashing, and the folks of Songhe Tower squatted down with their heads in their hands. The porcelain cups containing watermelon juice on the tray were broken into pieces, and the bright red juice flowed all over the floor.

Amidst the chaos, a girl in red rushed in with a dozen women with big arms and round waists.

"What a shameless slut, bluffing and cheating in the name of Shizi's cousin, come here, give me a call!"
