The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(25)

At first, Yao Niang didn't understand why Cui Zhu was so proud, but then she understood. Maybe everyone's pursuit is different. She saw a kind of sweetness in Cui Zhu's smile.

She thought, the princess must have said something to Cui Zhu.

The development of the matter is completely different from the previous life, and Yao Niang finally doesn't have to worry about repeating the same mistakes. But all this did not let her relax her vigilance, but made her more cautious. Of course, this is a later story.

In Siyi Courtyard, after Cui Zhu was taken away, Mother Zhou said to Princess Jin: "My queen, Cui Zhu is now regarded as a thorn in the eyes of Liuchun Pavilion. If she is put there again, I'm afraid it won't have any effect."

Princess Jin, who was sitting on the imperial concubine couch, was reading a book with her head down. After hearing this, she looked up at Mother Zhou and said, "Nurse, I didn't expect her to have any effect."

"Then..."

Mother Zhou quickly understood that Princess Jin was just making things difficult for Concubine Hu.

But if Cuizhu is damaged, the momentum of Liuchun Pavilion will not be suppressed, which means that the chess game they have arranged for a long time has been ruined.

"Did you forget that there is another one?" Princess Jin smiled.

Under the sunlight, her face was a little more rosy, but she still had a kind of morbid beauty. Although she was weak, there was a wise light between her eyebrows that could not be ignored.

Princess Jin was worthy of being born in the Xuguo Mansion. Her mind and means were first-class, but she was implicated by this body. Whenever thinking of all this, Mother Zhou couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you talking about the wet nurse surnamed Su?" Mother Zhou hesitated.

Princess Jin nodded: "Didn't the nurse find that this girl is very smart? She hid herself by taking advantage of Cuizhu's jumping around, and quickly established a foothold beside the little princess. She is much smarter than Cuizhu. I underestimated her before."

"But I don't think she wants to climb up the ladder. I heard that this nurse surnamed Su is very low-key on weekdays. She never steps out of the small courtyard. She rarely goes out in the courtyard. She is either in the room or serving the little princess."

"Have you forgotten your highness? Your highness often visits the little princess."

Mother Zhou was still a little stunned, but Princess Jin said again: "Which woman doesn't like a man like your highness?" As she said that, she lowered her eyebrows and smiled, giving people an illusion of peerless elegance.

But it is not the case. The King of Jin has a dragon and phoenix figure, jade and gold, and a dignified appearance. He was born noble and is a natural prince. When he was in Beijing, countless noble ladies competed for him, but Princess Jin won the first place.

But——

Actually, Mother Zhou has always wanted to ask something but dared not ask: Princess, do you like His Highness?

If you like her, why don't you take the initiative to get close to His Highness? If you don't like her, why bother to fight with Concubine Hu.

But Mother Zhou didn't dare to say it. She remembered a time before Princess Jin got married, when the Princess almost died.

It was Princess Jin who committed suicide.

Mother Zhou always thought that Princess Jin didn't want to marry the King of Jin, maybe because she had a lover, but as Princess Jin's wet nurse, she knew that when her own Princess was still in the boudoir, she never looked at any man differently.

This doubt has been buried in Mother Zhou's heart for more than ten years, and may be buried for a lifetime.

In the Liuchun Pavilion, Concubine Hu looked at Cuizhu walking around in front of her with a gloomy face.

In fact, Cuizhu's attitude is very humble, but in Concubine Hu's eyes, she can see the complacency and sinister intentions hidden under that humble face.

Concubine Hu even saw a face through her, that was the face of the Princess of Jin.

A cold and pale face, with eyebrows always filled with indifference, but containing the greatest malice. She could even see the Princess of Jin smiling at her, a smile full of contempt and sarcasm.

No matter how favored you are, you are still at the mercy of this concubine. Your so-called favor is fake, fake... Without His Highness, you are nothing...

Concubine Hu couldn't help but shudder, and her anxiety became even worse.

She couldn't go on like this!

Concubine Hu suddenly stood up.

"My Queen!"

Taohong called out anxiously, looking at her in surprise. It was obvious that her action was too sudden, causing Taohong to misunderstand something.

Concubine Hu looked at Taohong with even more anger. Is she such an irrational person?

But she didn't explain anything, but took a deep breath and said, "I'll go see the little princess."

Taohong breathed a sigh of relief.

Now Liuchun Pavilion can't stand anything anymore.

In the east room, Mammy Mu sat on the rosewood inlaid with jade landscape and Luohan couch, and Concubine Hu sat opposite her.

Yuyan brought two cups of tea and placed them on the small table, but Concubine Hu just pretended to pick them up and didn't drink them. It can be seen that Concubine Hu didn't sleep well these days, and there were some dark circles under her beautiful phoenix eyes.

Compared with Concubine Hu's hesitation, Mammy Mu drank tea calmly, and didn't seem to care about what Concubine Hu was doing.

In the end, Concubine Hu couldn't hold back her temper. She hesitated for a while and said her purpose: "Mammy, I miss the little princess a little. Can you take the little princess to the Spring Palace to spend the night?"

Unlike the flamboyance when facing the Princess of Jin, she was even humble when facing Mammy Mu.

Concubine Hu was not stupid. She knew who Nanny Mu represented, and she also knew Nanny Mu's identity - the head nanny of Concubine De. After Concubine De died, she served beside Prince Jin. Prince Jin respected her very much and treated her as an elder.

These alone were enough for Concubine Hu to be respectful to Nanny Mu.

Unlike the Princess of Jin, Mu Ma is the person of the Prince of Jin.

Chapter 21

Mother Mu looked at Concubine Hu with a look of knowing everything.

Probably because she was born in the palace, this kind of knowledge was hidden under the skin, and people could not even detect it, and they would only feel that it was unfathomable.

Concubine Hu had this feeling, and therefore she was particularly uncomfortable.

"Did His Highness agree?"

This made Concubine Hu feel a little embarrassed, but she also knew in her heart that she had to convince Mu Ma to achieve her goal.

She had been to Chaohui Hall twice before, but she didn't even go in. All this made her panic, and she even wondered if the Princess of Jin knew something, otherwise why would she stuff Cuizhu back so openly.

She couldn't fall out of favor, absolutely not.

Once she fell out of favor, it would be enough for the Princess and Concubine Feng to tear her apart alive.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hu clenched her hands under her sleeves and cried. She cried so hard that she didn't even care about her appearance, with a sense of panic and anxiety.

She didn't choose to cover up for the sake of face, but picked and chose some things, saying that she accidentally angered the King of Jin that night, but didn't say the specific details.

This matter was not a secret to Nanny Mu. Although she was not in the small building at the time, she soon found out.

Sometimes even Nanny Mu couldn't understand what the King of Jin was thinking, but whether she understood it or not didn't hinder her from planning what to do. Even if this concubine Hu was a little stupid and often angered His Highness, since His Highness was willing to go and took the trouble to do so much for her, Nanny Mu should support her from behind.

Her eyes barely detectably swept over Concubine Hu's belly, and she said slowly, "Since you want to, take her to stay for one night. I'll ask Yuyan to help clean up, and I'll take Nanny Su with me."

Concubine Hu immediately burst into laughter: "Thank you, Nanny."

In the east room, Yao Niang was massaging the little princess, and naturally heard the noise outside.

This was the first time she heard Concubine Hu crying, and to be honest, Yao Niang was very surprised. This kind of surprise was no less than seeing a monster, because Concubine Hu was always arrogant in her impression, even if she had been given most of the favor in her previous life, she had never shown weakness.

Yuyan walked in from outside and whispered to Yao Niang that they were going to the Spring House tonight.

As a nanny, Yao Niang could only listen to what she said.

It was said that there was something to clean up, but in fact there was nothing to clean up. After giving birth to the little princess, Concubine Hu deliberately cleaned up the western room of the Liuchun Pavilion, set up a room for the little princess, and prepared everything that should be prepared, just to keep her daughter by her side.

After that, the little princess moved to the small cross courtyard, and a new set of things were prepared, but the things over there were not moved, so this time she only needed to carry the little princess over.

However, Yuyan still helped Yao Niang to pack some diapers for the little princess, and the little toys she usually played with. After packing, Yao Niang carried the little princess and followed Concubine Hu to the Liuchun Pavilion.

The western room was very clean and spotless, and the little princess's things were neatly arranged. The rosewood cabinet facing the corner was filled with various small toys for the little princess. What was available on the market was available here, and what was not available on the market was also available here.

There are things prepared by Concubine Hu herself, things sent by the princess, and of course things collected from all over by the order of the King of Jin.

Seriously speaking, the King of Jin loves this daughter very much.

The maids and servants in the Liuchun Pavilion are also very attentive to Yao Niang, calling her Nanny Su all the time, with smiles all over their faces. In her previous life in the Liuchun Pavilion, Yao Niang had always been treated with cold eyes and ridicule, and she had never seen them like this, so she was naturally surprised.

But she was not surprised, after all, this life was too different from the previous life.

Yao Niang did not see Cuizhu, but she knew why Cuizhu did not appear. Cuizhu was punished to stand in the sun for more than an hour before, and she had heatstroke and could not get out of bed until now.

Everyone in the small courtyard knew about this matter and had discussed it, so Yao Niang naturally knew it too.

The little princess has passed the hundredth day, and the bones of the baby in this month are slowly hardening, and she is beginning to be unwilling to be lonely. When adults hold her in their arms, she always looks around. She also knows how to appreciate things given to her. She can stare at a drum for a long time.
