The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks [Complete] (18)

Yao Niang's whole body was soaked with sweat.

Aunt Mu looked at her lowered eyebrows and glanced at the sweat-moistened area on her chest. She signaled Yucui to take the little princess over and said, "You go back and clean up first. We'll do it tonight." Stay and serve the little princess."

Yao Niang was stunned. Was she allowed to serve the little princess?

At the same time, she also noticed Grandma Mu's eyes, lowered her eyes and immediately blushed.

She was wearing an azure-colored summer shirt today. Clothes made of this kind of fabric would look a little see-through if they were not stained with water.

The thin material is eroded by sweat and sticks to the skin. Because of the dark color, the color underneath becomes more conspicuous. The delicate bright red, underneath is the towering white...

Yao Niang thought of the way King Jin looked at her just now, and couldn't help but wonder if he had also seen this scene. Her face suddenly burned with embarrassment.

She remembered what King Jin said in her previous life when she was in bed, saying that she was a little temptress who always liked to seduce him.

That was the most embarrassing thing he had ever said to her.

It was only that one time, but it was still fresh in her memory.

Would he think that he was being indiscreet and let him see her like this? Would he think that he was trying to seduce him? Without any time to think about it, Yao Niang nodded hurriedly twice, without even daring to raise her head, she covered her chest and ran away.

Aunt Mu's eyes were originally dark, but when she saw this, she shook her head with a smile. She felt that she had been in the palace for a long time, and everyone seemed to have ulterior motives.

According to current observations, this nanny Su does not seem to be a scheming person.

But when she thought of Princess Jin, Nanny Mu was no longer sure about this idea. But to her, as long as she could give birth to a Jin prince heir, it didn't matter whether she was scheming or not.

Concubine De died early, so the King of Jin was looked down upon by Grandma Mu. In her opinion, she never pays attention to the process, only the results. This was also the reason why Aunt Mu was willing to give Concubine Hu some good looks, but on the contrary, Princess Jin did not like her.

It doesn't matter if a woman who can't raise children is a princess. In the hearts of old people like Grandma Mu, it is deeply ingrained that heirs are the most important.

Yao Niang walked quickly towards her house and stopped in front of the door.

Cuizhu stood in front of the door of her room. Apparently she heard the movement just now and knew that King Jin was coming.

Under the dim light, Cuizhu bit her lower lip, looking at Yao Niang with jealousy and envy in her eyes, with a hint of complexity.

"I really underestimated you." The voice came out of his throat, which was so dry.

Yao Niang looked at her, pretending to be puzzled: "Cui Zhu, what did you say?" But she smiled bitterly in her heart. If she had known that King Jin would be returning tonight, she would never have chosen to show up today.

Cuizhu's eyes turned to her, snorted disdainfully, turned around and entered the house, slamming the door.

The movement was so big that it felt like the door frame was about to fall off.

In the darkness, Yao Niang stood outside for a while before pushing the door open and entering the house.

She planned to bring back some hot water, but before she could go, a rough woman came over carrying two buckets of hot water. She wanted to take it, but the other party didn't let her go. He poured the water into the tub for her with a smile, and said that there was not enough.

In fact, people are so realistic. You don't need to do anything. As long as the superiors show a little bit of disdain for you, it is enough for the subordinates to change their attitudes.

What it was to Princess Jin and Yao Niang in her previous life, it is to Aunt Mu in this life.

The little princess is still a dumb baby, and Aunt Mu is the weather vane in this small courtyard. As soon as King Jin left, everyone knew that Nurse Su had made a meritorious service in front of His Highness, and Aunt Mu allowed her to serve the little princess personally.

Is there any need to say what the meaning behind this is?

Invisibly, everyone is actually weighing it.

Aunt Mu is too old to be the nanny of the young princess. There is no doubt that the future nanny of the young princess will be chosen from these nannies. Nanny Wang and Nanny Qian seemed to be on a united front, but in fact they were competing with each other. Yao Niang and Cuizhu were not included in the calculation. Now Yaoniang unexpectedly stands out and has made such a great contribution. As long as she can really cure the little princess's night crying syndrome, everyone in the little courtyard will support her.

With all this, you still worry about not having a place beside the little princess?

In the bathtub, Yaoniang soaked herself in the hot water and let her thoughts empty.

She seemed to be thinking a lot, but in fact she was thinking nothing.

The panic, uneasiness, restlessness, embarrassment, and anxiety have long since faded away, leaving only melancholy.

She didn't know what she was feeling melancholy about.

She thought of Concubine Hu who was chasing King Jin, and she suddenly immersed herself in hot water.

Chapter 15

Prince Jin's sudden return made the entire Jin Prince's Mansion move in the night.

While the lights in Liuchūn Pavilion were brightly lit, the lights in Siyi Courtyard, Qixia Pavilion, and Tingxue Residence were also lit one after another. It was not until King Jin returned to Chaohui Hall that the entire backyard fell silent again.

In the Liu Chun Pavilion, Concubine Hu angrily pulled out the Bu Yao on her head and slapped it on the ground. She originally wanted to keep King Jin in Liuchūn Pavilion, but King Jin ignored her and left.

Although King Jin has a cold and hard temperament, he would rarely be so disrespectful to Concubine Hu.

No need to guess, King Jin must be angry.

Taohong walked over, picked up the hairpin, and came to Concubine Hu to persuade her: "Empress, Your Highness has just come back from outside. He is so tired and tired, so he definitely needs some rest."

Concubine Hu gritted her teeth and said: "What does this concierge do for food? His Highness didn't even know to report a message when he returned home, which made me rush over in a hurry. Your Highness values ​​the little princess and must have thought that I have not fulfilled her duties as a mother." responsibility."

In fact, Concubine Hu also felt that she was wronged. Who wouldn't want to keep the child she gave birth to? But the princess's bitch had a vicious mind, and she actually made things difficult for His Highness to misunderstand her, so she allowed the little princess to live alone in the courtyard.

It seems that the little princess is still staying in the chūn pavilion, but in fact everyone inside knows what is going on. Concubine Hu's so-called unrivaled favor was immediately discounted. Everyone knows that your highness is still wise and powerful, and he is not stunned by women. Headed.

Concubine Hu was so angry that she wished she could eat Princess Jin alive, but she could not relieve the anger in her heart.

"It's not just once or twice that the little princess has been up late at night. It's not like the good doctor from the good doctor's office has never come to see her. Everyone in the mansion knows about it. How could His Highness take his anger out on the concubine?" Taohong advised.

"But don't forget, that bitch is the best at stirring up trouble and stabbing me in the back. She was the one who stuffed the nanny in. I don't know how she would show off her skills in front of His Highness and try to trip me up along the way. The concubine also wants to bring the little princess back..."

"No, no!" Concubine Hu took a few steps back and forth and made up her mind: "What was the name of the nanny just now? I want to reward her, and I want to reward her heavily. In addition, let people keep an eye on the one named Cuizhu. Find an opportunity to drive her out. Now that His Highness is back, don't wait any longer to avoid causing trouble."

"yes."

Yao Niang took a hurried bath and then went to the small building with wet hair.

The wind stopped, but it started to rain again. The rain wasn't heavy, it was pouring down, and the weather was finally not so muggy.

Yao Niang followed the corridor and entered the small building. The little princess had already gone to bed, while Nurse Qian, Aunt Mu and others were still standing by.

A chariot carved from red sandalwood with blessings and longevity figures was placed in front of the bed, with a soft smoke curtain hung above it. The entire bedroom is still in the style of a royal palace, luxurious yet low-key nobility.

The little princess didn't seem to have slept soundly. After Yao Niang saluted Nanny Mu, she heard her moving in the car. It's the kind of sound that is made through the nasal cavity, a chirping sound. The sound is very small, but the person is not awake.

Yao Niang knew that this was a sign of not sleeping deeply, and she was probably still feeling uncomfortable somewhere.

She walked over and took a look and saw that the little princess in the car was wrapped in a layer of swaddling clothes. She couldn't help but sigh and lowered her voice and said: "The little princess will definitely be uncomfortable when she sleeps wrapped up like this."

The swaddling clothes were wrapped by Nanny Qian. All the babies in the whole Daqian Dynasty were brought here this way. They were wrapped in candle bundles when they were young. The children raised in this way had straight arms and legs. Why did the nanny here like to pick three babies? Pick four.

Not only did Nanny Qian feel that Yao Niang was being picky, but she also felt that she was targeting herself. She had not forgotten how she and Nanny Wang had tried to squeeze each other out before.

But this is an unsolvable knot. There is only one little princess, but there are four wet nurses beside her. As the little princess grows up, there will be fewer and fewer nannies around her, and eventually only one person will be left as the nanny. Therefore, instead of allowing the opponent to gain a firm foothold and then deal with it, it is better to strike early and squeeze the opponent out of position.

"Which family's milk baby didn't grow up like this? How come it seems to us to be deliberately harsh on the little princess?" Nanny Qian truthfully said what she was thinking. She felt aggrieved and looked at Nanny Mu. : "Mommy, this is not the first day that the slave has served the little princess. The little princess used to be very good. Even the princess and the concubine praised the slave and sister Wang for making the little princess fat and strong. Night. Almost every baby has crying syndrome for a while. Nurse Su is indeed very capable, and she has just alleviated the crying of the little princess. But no one can explain this kind of thing, and Sister Wang and I cannot be ruled out from this point. All the hard work.”

These words seem to say a lot, but in fact they only have two meanings. First, I want to say that Yao Niang was a blind cat who caught a dead mouse, so she hit the wrong mouse by mistake. In addition, he also complained about his grievances to Aunt Mu, and by the way achieved the idea of ​​using retreat as an advance to lead Yao Niang's army.

If it were Yao Niang from her previous life, she would probably be so panicked now that she didn't know what to do and just wanted to explain that she didn't have such thoughts. But she has lived a lifetime longer than other people, and other Yao Niangs can't, so they are still somewhat calm.

The most important thing is that Yaoniang believes that Aunt Mu will make her own judgment.
