The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(19)

Taking a step back, the little princess is probably not doing this for a day or two. Why can't she try other methods?

Yao Niang also said what she wanted to say. Compared to the aggrieved nurse Qian, it was obvious that Yao Niang's gentle attitude was more appreciated by Mother Mu. However, this does not allow Grandma Mu to erase the hard work of Qian and Nanny Qian. After all, preconceptions cannot be avoided no matter what.

"Just do what Nanny Su said and give it a try. It won't hurt anything if you try. Your Highness and I both respect the love you and Nanny Wang have for the little princess, and we won't let your hard work go in vain. Let's do this, You and Nanny Wang have been working hard recently. You can't sleep at night and you have to keep watch during the day. You can go back and have a good rest tonight and come back to work tomorrow."

After Mother Mu comforted her, she asked Yu Cui to send Nurse Qian away who was still aggrieved. She glanced at Yao Niang, and Yao Niang understood what she meant even if she didn't speak.

Yao Niang nodded, reached into the car and untied the swaddling clothes from the little princess.

She moved very gently. After untying the swaddling clothes, she gently massaged the little princess's hands and feet. Maybe she was gentle, or maybe she really didn't like the swaddling, but the little princess didn't wake up, but moved a few times before falling into a deep sleep. This time she slept soundly, and she never made the sound of uneasy sleep like before.

The little princess was also tired. After all, for a little baby, crying is extremely energy-consuming.

Seeing this, Grandma Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to sit on the chair next to her.

She was getting older and her nerves had been tense, but now she could finally take a breath. She sat there with her eyes half closed. The room was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. Yao Niang glanced at her quietly and said nothing. Instead, she sat down on the footrest and looked at the little princess in the car quietly. Yu Cui went to make a cup of tea for Nanny Mu. She picked it up and took a few sips and put it down. She was about to stand up and say something when Yu Yan walked in from outside the door and whispered a few words in her ear.

Mother Mu glanced at Yucui and left with Yuyan.

There were only two people left in the room, Yaoniang and Yucui.

Yucui whispered: "Today I will keep vigil with Nurse Su. You can go to bed first. If the little princess wakes up and is hungry, I will call you later."

She pointed to the imperial concubine's couch under the guide window. There was a set of bedding placed on the couch, which had obviously been prepared in advance. There is a bed in the room, but this bed is not for servants to sleep on.

Yao Niang said: "Miss Yucui has worked hard during the day. It's better for you to sleep first. I'm not sleepy."

Seeing Yu Cui not moving, she smiled softly: "Since I came here, I have been eating and not doing anything every day, and I always feel very uneasy. Now that I have finally come in handy, it is time to do my part. . And look at my wet hair. I haven’t slept yet. Besides, I don’t know if the little princess will wake up in the middle of the night. It’s better for Miss Yucui to rest first.”

Yucui didn't say anything else. She spread the bedding and lay down on it.

Not to mention, she was really tired these days.

The waning moon is like a hook, and the night rain is misty.

Under the night, Prince Jin's Mansion is like a sleeping divine beast, quiet but full of majesty.

The rules of Prince Jin's Mansion are very strict. After the lamp is turned on, if nothing happens, no one is allowed to wander around the Mansion.

Chaohui Hall is located at the central axis of the Jin Palace, meaning "right and middle". Using it as a boundary, the entire Jin Palace was divided into two. In front is the front yard of the palace, which is divided into three roads: middle, east and west. The middle road is where the king of Jin handles the government affairs of the fief and where he welcomes guests and banquets. The east and west roads are respectively where the palace's retainers, staff, generals, guards, as well as the chief historian, carriage and horse department, affairs department, etc. are located.

Chaohui Hall just connects the front yard and the back house, and is where the King of Jin lived.

Although it is said to be a hall, it actually occupies a very large area. Different from the beautiful and elegant style of the palace's back house, this place has a grand and royal style. It is heavily guarded, with one post every five steps and one sentry every ten steps. There are royal guards patrolling day and night.

When Grandma Mu and her group arrived, there were already people waiting outside the door to greet them.

She entered through the side door and walked all the way to the back sleeping area. When she reached the door, several eunuchs came to meet her and helped her go inside.

When King Jin returned to Chaohui Hall, he took a bath first and now he just came out of the bath room.

He only wore a black robe and walked out barefoot. There was a deep purple soft blanket spread on the bright gold brick floor. King Jin's clothes were half open, revealing his smooth and strong chest. His long hair, like ink, was spread wetly over his shoulders and chest, dripping down. Drops of water.

The rich black contrasts with the dazzling white, which makes King Jin's skin look like the finest mutton-fat white jade, without losing the sense of elegance that a man should have. People cannot ignore the huge power contained in that strong texture.

When he came to the imperial concubine's bed and sat down casually, a little eunuch came up and knelt at his feet to wipe his feet.

"Mommy, sit down." King Jin said.

As he spoke, a eunuch brought a chair over. Mother Mu did not refuse and sat down on it.

Fucheng brought a cotton handkerchief and went forward to wipe King Jin's hair. After wiping it twice, King Jin became annoyed and waved his hand to let him go away.

Aunt Mu looked at her little master. Although he had grown up, he still did not change his past behavior. When he was a child, Prince Jin also hated having his hair rubbed. He found it troublesome and didn't like people moving around on his head.

"It would be bad if you catch a cold." Aunt Mu said with a kind smile.

Although the Prince of Jin still had a cold face, it was obvious that his facial lines had softened a lot. "I'm sorry to trouble you, Madam."

This was a double meaning, which was to express his concern and to thank Madam Mu for supporting her old body and helping the Prince of Jin to look after the little princess.

Madam Mu was already quite old, more than sixty years old. When the Prince of Jin left the capital, he brought her out with him, intending to let her live out her days by his side. However, things did not go as planned. The Prince of Jin was too busy with the backyard affairs, so he could only invite Madam Mu out of the mountain again.

Madam Mu had been immersed in the palace for many years, but it was just a backyard of the prince's mansion. For her, the demons and monsters behind the scenes could not escape her eyes. The Prince of Jin did not need her to do anything, just to take care of the little princess. As for how others fought, it did not matter.

There were rumors outside that the Prince of Jin had committed too many sins of killing, which resulted in him being childless at the age of over twenty-six. There are also rumors that the King of Jin has problems with his sexual life, which is why he can't have a son.

Although the King of Jin doesn't care about it on the surface, he still cares a little. Killing is fine, he is a defensive fortress, so he should be loyal to his duties. But if there is a problem with his sexual life, there are probably few men who don't care about it.

Especially——

Madame Mu patted her legs and said with a smile: "Why worry? Although Madame is an old man, this old man can still be of some use."

"Is Madame's leg disease recurring? This time, I visited the fiefdom and found a country doctor who has a lot of experience in rheumatism. I brought him back this time and asked him to see Madame tomorrow."

Madame Mu said, "I'm sorry for your trouble," and paused before saying, "It doesn't matter whether Madame can cure this old man. Anyway, this disease has been going on for more than one or two years. But the issue of your son is the key. After all, having a little princess is not enough. Your Highness still lacks a little prince."

When this matter was mentioned, the face of Prince Jin stiffened almost unnoticeably.

If it were someone else, they would naturally not notice this clue, but for Madame Mu, who had raised Prince Jin since childhood, it would not be missed.

She obviously misunderstood, sighed, and said: "Since that person can still please your Highness, why should your Highness care whether she is good or not. Your Highness should also change this character. Women are just tools for you to reproduce offspring. It doesn't matter whether she is good or not, don't worry too much."

Chapter 16 (Catching Bugs)

Prince Jin did not speak.

Nanny Mu naturally would not continue to say more. After all, she was a slave. Although she could say a few more words based on her past feelings, saying too much would just waste her past feelings.

And she also knew in her heart that her young master was a person with a plan in his heart. If he didn't have a plan, he would not have lost the protection of his mother, and he would not have fought through the layers of the deep palace until he became a vassal king guarding a place.

After that, the two talked for a while, mostly talking about some things that happened in the backyard when Prince Jin was not in the mansion. The correct thing should be to talk about the little princess, Concubine Hu and even the princess. After all, the reason why the King of Jin separated the little princess from the Liuchun Pavilion was largely because Concubine Hu used her daughter as a raft, repeatedly using the little princess to seek favor from the King of Jin and fight with the princess of Siyi Courtyard.

Seeing that it was getting late, the King of Jin personally sent Mu Ma out. Taking advantage of the thick night, Mu Ma quietly returned to the small cross courtyard, as usual.

The King of Jin returned to the inner hall. He didn't like too many people around him, so Fucheng followed him in.

Fucheng looked to be in his thirties, with a white face and no beard, wearing a dark green round collar robe. He has served the King of Jin for many years and can be regarded as one of the King of Jin's top confidants. Because he grew up serving the King of Jin, he naturally had a different relationship with others, and therefore he was more daring to speak in front of the King of Jin.

It was obvious that Madam Mu's words had been taken to heart by His Highness. Fu Cheng hesitated and said, "Your Highness, I think what Madam said makes sense. It's time for this mansion to have a young master."

But that was all he said. Those who have served their masters for many years all understand that it is better to stop when it is enough, and too much is as bad as too little. After all, the master is the master, and the servant is the servant. Especially since this matter involves the taboo that King Jin cannot tolerate others touching, Fu Cheng spoke with extra caution.

King Jin did not speak, but the arc of his frown deepened.

He suddenly remembered the wet nurse just now, the whiteness and height that were faintly revealed under the wetness.
