The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(120)
Hearing that the princess was coming, Yao Niang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly got off the kang.
Before she could be welcomed out, Princess Jin came in.
Princess Jin had a smile on her face and helped Yao Niang up, who was about to salute: "You are inconvenient, so you don't need to salute."
inconvenient?
Yao Niang looked at her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and silently accepted this inconvenience.
"I should have come to see you a long time ago, but you also know that I tend to feel restless when the weather gets cold. After wasting these days, I just happened to stop by to see you, and also to see Xiaobao."
When talking about Xiaobao, Princess Jin was a little hesitant. She didn't know what Xiaobao's name was. Then I thought that such a small baby probably didn't have a big name.
"Thank you, Princess."
The two of them came to the Kang together. Princess Jin sat down first. Yao Niang was standing, but she also pulled her to sit down opposite.
Princess Jin then turned her attention to Xiaobao and said with a smile: "I didn't expect such a small baby to be able to walk."
Yaoniang lowered her head and said, "He is making trouble and wants to leave, so just let him take a few steps without incident."
Princess Jin nodded, her eyes falling on Yao Niang, "You have done a great job, I have to thank you on behalf of Your Highness."
"You should never say that, my queen."
"You deserve this, but I didn't expect that you would give His Highness such a big son, and His Highness and I only knew about it."
Yao Niang lowered her face and looked shy.
Afterwards, Princess Jin spoke some words to Yao Niang, left a few boxes of ginseng, bird's nest, polygonum multiflorum and other good health-replenishing things, and then left with the others. Yao Niang wanted to send her off, but she held her down, saying that she was inconvenient, so Yao Niang could only sit there.
After Princess Jin left, the room was silent.
"This princess..." Hong Fei said quickly. What he wanted to say was stopped by Hong Silk's wink.
Yao Niang suddenly came to her senses and said with a smile: "Why are you still standing there? Why doesn't Xiaobao leave?"
Hearing this, Xiaobao took two hurried steps.
Several girls gathered around and had fun again, and the atmosphere became better.
Chapter 96
Hong Fei went to help Xiaobao, but he pushed him away.
But when he was allowed to walk on his own, it was crooked and he couldn't support him within two steps. Hong Fei hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
He is still too young and will have to wait!
Xiaobao thought so in his heart, with a frustrated look on his face. This little gesture made everyone laugh, and Yao Niang also laughed along with her.
It's just that inadvertently, his face will occasionally become startled.
His mother is not happy.
Xiaobao glanced at Yao Niang quietly and thought to himself.
Did Princess Jin do something wrong?
In fact, logically speaking, no.
As the mistress of Prince Jin's Mansion, she is considerate of everything she says and does. She was indeed King Jin's head wife, and those words really left people with nothing to complain about. But as a person who listens to these words, it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable.
Xiaobao knew this clearly in his heart, but he still felt a sense of disgust towards Princess Jin.
Xinuan Pavilion was busy, and King Jin walked in from outside.
The girls who were laughing and joking quickly stopped their voices and bent their knees to salute. Yao Niang called your Highness, but she didn't get off the kang, she was a little lazy.
"What's wrong?"
Under Fucheng's service, the King of Jin took off his fox fur cloak and took off his black fox fur hat inlaid with tourmaline. Hongdie and Hongsi brought hot water and handkerchiefs, and served King Jin, cleansing his face and wiping his hands. King Jin sat down on the kang and asked people to take off their leather boots and put on a pair of thick-soled cloth shoes.
"Nothing, just watching Xiaobao walk."
King Jin was noncommittal.
It was almost noon. After asking, Fucheng ordered the meal to be served.
After finishing the meal and sitting for a while, Yao Niang took Xiao Bao to take a nap, while King Jin called Yu Chan.
Yu Chan told the story of the future, and King Jin sneered.
Fucheng stood beside him with a complicated look on his face.
Princess Jin didn't change her fault. Although she did everything well, she always made such a mistake.
It can't be said that she did anything wrong. As the mistress of Prince Jin's Mansion, it is normal for her to show off her status. But the problem is to win people's hearts without bias. If people's hearts are biased, they will naturally find her words harsh.
King Jin didn't say anything and went to the bedroom in the east corner.
On the couch, mother and son were already asleep. Yao Niang was outside, and Xiao Bao was inside. They were sleeping soundly, and their faces were all pink.
King Jin looked at it for a while and then lay down on the outside.
Widow Feng has aged much since the incident with Feng Heizi.
But since he can kill a man and also raise a son, it means he is not a weak-minded person. Widow Feng was depressed for a few days, but she cheered up again. Apart from going out to work every day to earn money to support herself, her favorite thing to do was to sit in the house and listen to what was going on outside. Maybe one day her son would open the door. Came in.
Even though he knew that this was an extravagant hope and committed a murder and became a deserter, it would have been impossible for Feng Heizi to come back without an amnesty. Widow Feng is now looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that something good will happen to the emperor's family and that the world will grant him amnesty, so that their mother and son can be reunited.
Nowadays, no one comes to the Feng family. In the past, Widow Feng was not easy to get along with, and there were not many people who joined the Feng family. After word spread about Feng Heizi's murder and robbery, no one came to her door, but today someone knocked on the door.
Widow Feng sat in the room, thinking she was hearing something. It wasn't until the knock on the door rang twice more that she stood up and opened the door.
There was a man standing outside the door, dressed in ordinary clothes, holding a package in his hand.
"Who are you?"
"Are you Auntie Feng? I'm Heizi's friend."
"Are you my son's friend? Have you seen my son..." After saying a few words, Widow Feng dared not say anything more and hurriedly pulled the man into the yard.
"Is my son okay now? Where is he now? But he has enough food and warm clothes..." After closing the door, Widow Feng asked many questions like a string of pearls.
The man looked a little embarrassed. After she finished speaking, he said, "Auntie, I don't know where Heizi is now, and I haven't seen him. I was just entrusted by someone to send something over." He seemed to know that he had spoken out of turn, and he hurriedly said, "It's not a thing, it's, it's..."
As he spoke, he lifted the blanket in his hand, revealing a chubby baby girl.
The baby girl was not big, probably about ten months old, and was sleeping soundly.
"This, this is?"
"This is an old lover of Heizi who asked me to send it. I won't tell you who it is. The baby is weaned, and the baby's mother can't raise the child because of some reasons, so she asked me to send it to you."
"Baby? Heizi's child?"
The man nodded.
Widow Feng was too surprised, "How is it possible? Heizi clearly..."
"Heizi also knew about the existence of this baby. He didn't plan to have her at the beginning, but the pregnancy was too late and he couldn't have an abortion. He originally planned to marry the girl from the Yao family and then bring the baby back, but you also know..."
Widow Feng nodded as she listened. So when Heizi got into trouble, this matter was put on hold until the child could no longer be raised and sent back. No wonder she said that her son was in a hurry at that time. When asked what he was doing, he said he was making money outside. It turned out that he not only wanted to marry Yao Yan'er back, but also had this baby.
Widow Feng didn't think about it, she knew that the mother of this baby must not be the daughter of a normal family, and it was probably another whore her son hooked up with in the building. Widow Feng never cared about Feng Heizi's affairs before. It was not that she didn't want to care, but that she couldn't. When something happened, she realized that her son had done so many things.
She looked at the baby girl twice, and the more she looked, the more she felt that she looked like her son, and a little like herself. Her son was not stupid, so it was impossible for him to recognize a bastard.
Widow Feng took the child over.
Yao Yan'er was a piece of shit, and she didn't even leave a seed for the old Feng family. Fortunately, there is now another girl. Although she is a girl, she always gives her a thought. Even if Heizi can't come back, she will slowly raise her up, and then recruit a son-in-law to come to the door, and she can also support the old Feng family.
For a while, Widow Feng's mind turned a lot, and when she looked up, she found that the man had left. There was a bundle on the ground next to her. She opened it and saw that it was all clothes for babies.
"This man is really, he ran away in a hurry. Is he afraid that I don't want this child?"
She held the child in one hand and picked up the bundle in the other hand and walked into the house.
After entering, he sat down and touched the little girl's face: "Your mother is a kind person, it's hard for her."
"Grandma will take care of you in the future, and we will wait for your father to come back together. I just don't know if grandma can live until then..."
From the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Jin Wang Mansion began to be busy.
Everyone was busy, and the Jin Wang was also very busy. It was not until the 30th of the lunar year that he stopped.
On the night of New Year's Eve, the Jin Wang held a banquet in the Chaohui Hall.
This was a family banquet, and everyone who could come was present, even those inconspicuous concubines could get a seat at the banquet.
The Jin Wang sat in the first seat, and the Jin Wangfei sat slightly lower to his side. Below the Jin Wangfei were Concubine Xu and Concubine Liu. Below the Jin Wang were Yao Niang and Madam Li and Madam Tao. As for the others, they were all accompanying at the end.
This position is a bit intriguing. Since ancient times, the left is honorable, but Xu and Liu, who are concubines, are on the right, while Yao Niang is a concubine, but she is on the left. Yao Niang sat with Xiaobao, opposite Xu and Liu.
Except for this, there is nothing unusual.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that there will be another concubine in the mansion. In the past, Concubine Hu gave birth to a princess and became a concubine. Now, Mrs. Su seems to have not been canonized yet, but just because she gave birth to the eldest son of the prince's mansion and is pregnant with another one, her future will not be small. I am afraid she will be the first person under the princess.
