The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(27)

She will always stay with Xiaobao and raise him to adulthood. Maybe she can open a small grocery store. The income from the store should be enough for her to support the livelihood of mother and son... She will send Xiaobao to school. As long as the child can study, she will continue to support him. Maybe one day she can also be granted an imperial decree and enjoy the blessing of a son and a daughter-in-law...

Thinking of this, Yao Niang's heart suddenly calmed down, and the previous beautiful things were like a small stone dropped into the lake, which only caused a ripple and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yao Niang felt her chest was wet, but she had no clothes to change. She couldn't help but regret that she should have brought a set of clothes when she came here before. It was also because she was too confused that she forgot to take a handkerchief to cushion when she was feeding the little princess just now.

She found a handkerchief and wiped it on her chest, but it didn't work at all. In addition, the room was a little stuffy, so Yao Niang simply came to the lattice window and opened the window sash.

The night was charming, but there was no wind.

The lights in the courtyard were still bright, but it was quiet and silent. There was no servant, but there seemed to be many guards standing in the courtyard.

Yao Niang was not unfamiliar with the attire of these people. They were the personal guards around the King of Jin.

She just looked at them a few times and then stopped looking.

She thought that this night would probably be very long.

The East Side Room was already set up at night.

There was a table of delicacies, but only two people sat at the table.

Concubine Hu did not ask anyone to serve the meal, but served the King of Jin herself.

Seeing that the King of Jin looked cold, he did not refuse to serve him the meal. Concubine Hu was delighted and became more attentive. She picked up the dishes and poured the wine, and was very busy.

The King of Jin drank two glasses of wine. Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Concubine Hu finally plucked up the courage and said with some grievance and coquettishness: "Your Highness, please don't blame me. I was confused that day..."

It must be said that Concubine Hu is very good at pleasing people.

Especially to please a man.

Maybe it was because of her talent or because she had been trained, she knew very well what kind of attitude a woman should put on to win the favor and love of a man.

She planned it well and did it well. From bringing the little princess back to her dress and manners, everything was carefully arranged, but it was a pity that she misjudged the character of the King of Jin.

It was precisely because the King of Jin had seen so much of this that he understood how deliberate these actions of Concubine Hu were, and what kind of purpose this deliberateness carried.

In fact, the King of Jin did not care about this purpose, but it was obvious that the incident that day had left a deep impression on him. God knows that the reason why he could sit here was more of a kind of self-restraint that was almost like self-destruction.

This kind of restraint has been with the King of Jin since he was a child. He did not have the blessing of his mother's family, and he grew up in a palace where people eat each other. Although he is a prince, he is not qualified to be willful. In order to stand out from the princes and to create more opportunities for himself, he must suppress his nature. After a long time of restraint, this restraint has almost become his innate instinct.

The King of Jin did not speak, holding the wine cup in his hand, but did not touch the wine in the cup.

Concubine Hu bit her lower lip, sobbed and begged: "If you don't look at it again, look at our daughter, the little princess is so cute..."

Yes, the little princess.

This is why the King of Jin came tonight.

Everything the King of Jin did was not because of the woman in front of him, but because of the little princess, his only blood.

So he could give Concubine Hu the position of a concubine, pamper her, and give her everything that could compete with the Princess of Jin, but unfortunately she disappointed him more and more, maybe he never had hope for her.

The King of Jin looked at Concubine Hu.

The woman in front of him, who was dressed in plain clothes and without makeup, was completely different from the previous Concubine Hu. The King of Jin was a man with a good memory. How beautiful, refined, quiet and gentle Concubine Hu was now, how deep was the King of Jin's memory of her arrogance, stupidity and ignorance.

Seriously speaking, it was extremely rare for the King of Jin to endure for more than a year. He was not a person who would waste his energy for those who were not related to him.

"Since you understand all this, you should be content." King of Jin said in a cold voice.

Concubine Hu's face suddenly turned pale. Be content? What is content?

King of Jin threw down the wine cup and stood up, "Be a good concubine, do what you should do and what you shouldn't do, I won't say it again."

After that, King of Jin left. Concubine Hu wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Fucheng from the side.

"My Lady Concubine, please stay."

Concubine Hu bit her lower lip tightly, glared at Fucheng first, and then looked at the disappearing back of King of Jin with waves in her eyes.

Fucheng ignored her glare, and when he saw that she gave up the idea of ​​chasing him, he went to the west corner. Not long after, Yao Niang came out with the little princess in her arms behind him.

Concubine Hu's face turned even paler, but thinking about what Prince Jin had just said, she didn't do anything unreasonable.

It doesn't matter, as long as His Highness is willing to forgive her, she will always find a chance.

The night breeze was gentle, with a refreshing coolness.

The crescent moon hung high in the night sky, with a faint silver glow.

The courtyard was very quiet, and several guards stood in the dark like statues, motionless.

Prince Jin was in front, Yao Niang was behind, and Fucheng followed beside her.

Yao Niang hugged the little princess tightly, looking at the back of the man not far in front of her. Prince Jin's shadow was stretched very long, even blocking the light in front of Yao Niang. She was confused and a little dark, and she stumbled.

Why did he come out? Was he planning to go to Xiaokuayuan? Why didn't he stay? Why did he appear in the small building when everyone outside said that the King of Jin stayed in Liuchun Pavilion?

Yao Niang had too many puzzles in her heart. She found that she didn't know the man in front of her. Even if they had shared the same bed in their previous life and had done the most intimate things, she didn't know the man in front of her.

Maybe she never knew.

Yao Niang just kept walking with her head down, but forgot to look at the road, and bumped into the King of Jin. Fortunately, the King of Jin reacted quickly and turned around to hold her, otherwise it would be unknown what would happen. Especially Yao Niang was still holding the little princess.

Yao Niang was completely confused. Fortunately, the little princess slept soundly, and with her arms protecting her, there was nothing wrong with her, and she was still sleeping very sweetly.

The eyes on the opposite side were as cold as ice. Yao Niang had never been seen like this by the King of Jin.

She had seen him most indifferent, and more often, she had no time to pay attention to what he looked like. After waking up, the room was quiet, except for the lingering scent of the incense he usually used.

The two of them had very little contact except for that thing.

"It's all my negligence..." Yao Niang said hesitantly.

The King of Jin looked down at her.

Her eyes were very dark, giving people a misty feeling, as if she would cry at any time. Her mouth was very red, trembling slightly, and she seemed very scared. The King of Jin's eyes slid down and naturally saw the wetness on Yao Niang's chest. Yao Niang's clothes were not hung out to dry, and they were still wet and stuck to her body. Under the moonlight, it was deep, but it was tightly attached to that place, making the tall roundness very obvious, and faintly revealing whiteness.

For some reason, the King of Jin suddenly remembered the little princess rubbing her face on her chest before, and at the same time, a smell like orchid, musk, and a faint milky smell floated into his nose. Suddenly, the familiar heat rose out of thin air.

The King of Jin could not help but frown and looked up at the sky.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the waning moon was hanging high in the sky. It was only the middle of the last half of April.

The King of Jin lowered his head again, and his restrained eyes swept across Yao Niang's face, turned his head and walked forward without saying anything.

Fucheng whispered to Yao Niang beside him: "Nanny Su, be careful of your feet."

Yao Niang nodded.

The three of them passed through an inconspicuous corner door to the small courtyard, which happened to lead to the side of the west wing.

The return of the three did not attract anyone's attention, and there was no light in the small building. Fucheng went to the west wing first to call for someone, and soon Yuyan and Yucui came out to greet them. Both of them had messy hair, and it was obvious that they had just gotten up from the bed.

They did not say anything, and took the lead in entering the small building and lit the candles.

The King of Jin went up to the second floor, and Fucheng followed him up.

Yao Niang suddenly couldn't see through the King of Jin.

Inexplicably, she suddenly had a realization that perhaps the so-called favor of Concubine Hu was fake, and it was all a false impression deliberately created by the King of Jin.

But why did the King of Jin do this?

No one could answer her.

The little princess has gained a lot of weight now, and she smiles more often, instead of being sickly and not lively at all like before.

Nanny Mu said that Yao Niang had made great contributions, and because of this, Yao Niang's status in the small courtyard has become higher and higher, and even Nanny Qian and Nanny Wang have to bow down to her.

But Yao Niang has always been gentle, and she can't do the bullying thing, and she didn't take the opportunity to squeeze the two nurses of the King of Qian. But there is nothing to say to them, and they get along indifferently.

After this incident, the two nurses of the King of Qian also knew that Yao Niang was a good person, unlike some people who were arrogant when they succeeded. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they treated Yao Niang with a lot of kindness on the surface.

Yao Niang's life in the small courtyard was getting smoother and smoother, but Cui Zhu had frequent accidents in the Liuchun Pavilion.

In fact, it was not a big deal, most of them were small things, but anything related to the master was not a small matter.

For example, when Cui Zhu was combing Concubine Hu's hair, she accidentally used too much force and hurt Concubine Hu. Concubine Hu would punish her, but she would not punish her severely. She would just let her stand outside.

This outside does not refer to the corridor or the cool place, but under the sun. You will not be asked to stand for more than one or two hours. But now it is early summer, although the weather is not too hot, the sun is also very poisonous. Standing for one or two hours is enough to make people dizzy and painful, but it will not hurt their lives.
