The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(117)

Hui Niang couldn't continue, looked at Yao Cheng, and turned to go inside.

Li wanted to chase after her and scold her, but was suddenly pulled from behind.

"Mom, that's enough! If you make trouble again, I will send you to your cousin's aunt in the countryside!"

Li was frightened by her son's angry expression, like a chicken with its neck strangled, and she was silent immediately.

When she was young, she was not a good person, and was often threatened by her man. Unexpectedly, when she was old, her son would also threaten her like this.

Li felt that the sky had fallen, and she wanted to sit on the ground and howl, but when she looked down, she saw that this ground was not the bluestone ground of her home, which was bright enough to reflect people's shadows.

She realized that this was the palace, looked up at the maid standing by the side pretending to be a statue, and went back to her room angrily.

After Hui Niang left, Yao Niang sat there, not knowing what she was thinking.

Someone walked in and came to her, and she realized it.

"Your Highness." There were only her and him in the room, and Yao Niang was inexplicably nervous.

The King of Jin sat down on the kang, "Have you told your sister about the matter?"

Yao Niang nodded.

Seeing her lowered her head, the King of Jin had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.

"Let her stay in the mansion for a few more days. I see that you are lonely every day, so let her accompany you more."

The King of Jin never said such words before. Yao Niang raised her head in surprise, and saw that his face was a little tight, then she understood what he meant.

Then she was a little embarrassed, lowered her head and nodded.

"Well, then you rest." The King of Jin stood up.

Yao Niang nodded again.

Seeing that she didn't keep him, the King of Jin had to leave.

There were snowflakes outside again, but Rongxiyuan was heated by the floor heating, warm as spring.

The two sisters sat on the big kang, with a yellow rosewood kang table in the middle, on which were needlework baskets, scraps of cloth, teacups and fruit plates.

Yao Niang was holding a piece of cut cloth in her hand, making clothes for the baby in her belly. This kind of small inner clothes is easy to make, and she can make several sets a day. However, Yuchan and others always watched her and didn't let her use the needle and thread too much. She played with it in her hands and made one every day.

"She has been served by a little maid and eaten delicacies these days, so nothing happened. Besides, your brother-in-law will watch her if something happens, so don't worry." Hui Niang said, holding a small dress in her hand.

"That's good. There are also princesses and concubines in this mansion. I'm afraid she will make something indecent and make people laugh."

Hui Niang came to talk to her sister every day these days, so she naturally knew that Prince Jin also lived in Rongxiyuan. But she didn't see him all the time. Yao Niang said that Prince Jin was lying in bed to recuperate.

"You are just ignoring him like this. Sister has told you before that it's enough." Hui Niang glanced at her sister.

Yao Niang stopped what she was doing and hesitated, "I didn't leave him alone, I just didn't know what to say to him. Besides, he was clearly wrong in this matter, so why should I go to him to make peace?"

"Anyway, I'll tell you, just know what's going on."

Hui Niang wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a commotion in the yard, and it seemed to be Li's voice.

Hui Niang immediately threw down her needlework and got off the kang. Yao Niang also wanted to get off the kang, but Hongdie hurriedly put on her shoes and helped her out.

When Yao Niang went out, she saw Li's nose was not a nose and her face was not a face. She was talking to Hui Niang, and Hui Niang seemed a little angry. When Li saw her, her eyes lit up and she rushed over, shouting 'Su Yao Niang, you came at the right time', and Hui Niang couldn't hold her back.

Before she got to the front, someone shouted: "Bold, presumptuous!"

The person who spoke was a young eunuch named Xiao Zhuozi.

The eunuch's voice was shrill to begin with, especially this kind of high pitch, which was so sharp that it could pierce the eardrum, and immediately scared Li to stop.

"Just say it, you can handle the consequences of offending the lady!"

"I, I, I won't tell you!" Li's face turned purple, and she glared at Yao Niang fiercely, "Su Yao Niang, tell me, where is my sister Yan? You lied to Su Hui Niang that you didn't see my sister Yan, why did the maid in your house say that my sister Yan came, but was harmed by you!"

Yao Niang's heart skipped a beat, and just as she was about to say something, a voice came from behind: "Who told you that your daughter came?"

It was the King of Jin.

The King of Jin had long hair tied behind his head, and he was wearing a black fox fur coat with a lapel. The fluffy fur collar exuded a cold light, which made him look like a jade, but his face was cold, and a fierce momentum rushed towards him.

When the King of Jin came out, people knelt in the yard immediately.

Only Yao Niang was left, and Li and Hui Niang were still standing. Hui Niang bent her knees and was considering whether to kneel, but was stopped by Fucheng.

"Mrs. Yao, there is no need to kneel. After all, she is a relative."

This sentence has a lot of meaning. It stands to reason that a sister of a concubine is not worthy of being called a relative by a dignified prince, but Fucheng said so.

Fucheng represents the King of Jin, so this is naturally what the King of Jin meant.

The people around Yao Niang and the people in Chaohui Hall understand what is going on, but others don't. The fact that the King of Jin moved to Rongxiyuan to live these days is already jaw-dropping, but this master is willing, and no one can say anything. They just think that the King of Jin favors Madam Su, who is now in a different status and is pregnant.

But when this sentence is said today, it has a somewhat unusual meaning.

This obviously regarded Madam Su as equal to the princess, and all the relatives of Madam Su became relatives of His Highness.

No matter what the people below thought, the cold eyes of King Jin were still on Li.

Where had Li seen such a terrible person? To her, the county magistrate of Linyun County was the most important person in her eyes. And the first time she met King Jin, he took the initiative to visit her. He didn't look unusual, just that he was a little more handsome and had more people under him.

Even if he was a bigger person than the county magistrate, he wouldn't do anything to her anyway, because she was the mother-in-law of Su Yaoniang's sister. But Li didn't think about it at all. She despised Yaoniang on the one hand, and relied on her power on the other. What kind of behavior is this?

Li didn't have time to think about these things at the moment. She was just afraid. But this kind of person also has his own little wisdom. She sat on the ground without looking at King Jin, and only shouted to Yao Niang: "Su Yao Niang, give me back Yan Jie'er. You raised a wild one..."

The voice stopped abruptly, but Li Shi suddenly fainted.

King Jin frowned, "Send her back and find out who is gossiping in front of her. Since you can't control your tongue, you don't need her anymore."

A group of people came up immediately and carried Li Shi away.

Hui Niang looked at her sister worriedly. After all, Li Shi was her mother-in-law, and she couldn't ignore it, so she hurriedly followed.

Yao Niang was absent-minded and stood there without moving. King Jin led her into the house.

Fucheng and several maids went down, and Yao Niang looked at King Jin with some annoyance: "It's all your fault!"

At this time, King Jin was no longer as cold as before, and the sharp edges on his face softened. He pulled Yao Niang into his arms: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault."

I will double compensate you in the future.

Chapter 94

The commotion in Rongxi Courtyard was so big that it naturally spread throughout the mansion.

In Siyi Courtyard, Princess Jin heard the news and said with a smile: "Someone is going to be unlucky again. Why don't they remember it!"

There is indeed someone who doesn't remember it, but it's not Concubine Xu or Concubine Liu, but a little concubine who was rewarded with the two last time.

Prince Jin ordered people to investigate, and it took almost no effort to find this person.

The key is that this person is also stupid, and he doesn't hide his jealousy at all. He said that Yao Niang is now pregnant, and she still occupies Prince Jin, eats meat herself, and doesn't even give soup to others.

No one has seen this concubine since then, and no one knows where she has been taken.

And Li's situation is not good either. She was frightened by the means of Prince Jin.

The maid who accidentally let the cat out of the bag in front of her had her tongue pulled out in front of her. Li was so scared that she wet her pants on the spot, and she had a high fever at night and couldn't get up from bed.

After lying in a coma for a few days, she finally woke up and wanted to go home.

Li was very ill these days, and Hui Niang had been watching her. Finally, she found time to see Yao Niang.

Looking at her sister, Yao Niang felt a little embarrassed. Hui Niang sat down opposite her: "Tell me, what happened."

Then Yao Niang told her about Yan Jie'er bringing a man to slander her. Hui Niang was very angry and started to scold her directly. As for Yan Jie'er's fate, there is no need to ask. From the means of King Jin, it can be seen that this person is not a good person, and it is expected that her fate will not be good.

Hui Niang did not talk about this matter again, but patted Yao Niang's hand: "Since he still knows how to protect you, sister is relieved. Your brother-in-law and I plan to leave tomorrow."

Yao Niang was a little anxious, "Why are you leaving so quickly!"

"We have lived in the palace for a long time, and your brother-in-law's work in the yamen cannot be delayed. Besides, I don't know when she will recover from her illness, and she can take good care of herself at home." This she is naturally referring to Li.

Seeing Hui Niang's insistence, Yao Niang said, "Then sister, I won't keep you?"

"No, when I'm free, I'll bring Hong Ge'er and Ming Ge'er to see you."

"Then you must remember to come, Xiaobao likes Hong Ge'er and Ming Ge'er very much."

At this time, Xiaobao, who was given a random name by his mother, was very depressed.

Ming Ge'er was in his naughty period, running around the room, and Chun'er was tired of following him. She was worried that he would fall, and she was afraid that he would knock over things. Hong Ge'er was about the same age as Xiaobao, but he was lazy. Xiaobao had already gone down and asked someone to help him walk around for a few laps. He didn't envy him at all, and sat on the couch as still as a mountain.
