The King's Concubine_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(78)

She had been here for a short time, but she could see some of the situation in the mansion. Not to mention the other servants in the mansion, the people around her were particularly short of breath because the King of Jin had not consummated his marriage with her.

She originally thought that Concubine Hu was monopolizing the favor of the prince, but this was not Concubine Hu at all. It was clearly a foxy woman who was using tricks. She was just instigating that day, and she never expected that her words would come true.

Concubine Xu had never been so angry. With her background, she couldn't say anything nice, but she was so angry that she smashed the rouge box.

On the other side of Lingboxuan, Concubine Liu was always arrogant. She was quite surprised to hear this, but she didn't say anything. She just snorted coldly and sent the servant who reported the news away. As for what she thought in her heart, it was unknown.

When Chenshi went to Siyi Courtyard to pay respects, all these women looked unhappy, and even two new concubines were foolishly instigating the Princess of Jin to punish the bed-climbing Su Nanny.

Would the Princess of Jin listen to them?

No way.

While the palace was discussing this matter, Chaohui Hall also made arrangements for Yao Niang at a very fast speed.

Fucheng's efficiency was amazing. He quickly selected a courtyard behind the east side of Chaohui Hall as the courtyard where Yao Niang would live in the future.

This courtyard was not on the central axis, but on the east road, but it was very close to Chaohui Hall, which was convenient for the Prince of Jin to go there in the future. It must be said that Fucheng was really thoughtful.

Not only that, the efficiency of the Internal Affairs Department was not bad. In just one morning, Rongxi Courtyard was properly arranged, and all the things and even the maids and servants were ready, just waiting for the master to move in.

Yao Niang was too embarrassed to see people. Seeing that there were few people outside at noon, she took Xiaobao and Yuchan Axia and quietly went to Rongxi Courtyard.

Rongxi Courtyard was spacious and magnificent, with five main rooms facing the front. There were side rooms and wing rooms on both sides, and front and back rooms with carved beams and painted rafters, magnificent and splendid.

The courtyard was large and lush, with exquisite rocks and famous flowers and plants, exuding fragrance and beauty. There were two pink apricots and a pomegranate tree with lush branches and leaves on the right side. There were stone tables and stone benches under the trees, which were a good place to cool off in summer.

Entering the main hall, the three main rooms were separated by a floor-to-ceiling canopy with a swastika pattern, and there was an antique shelf, on which various rare treasures were placed.

The east side room was next to the bedroom, with a Luohan bed under the window, covered with a brocade mattress and several satin-faced backrest cushions. On one side was a small yellow rosewood crabapple table with a gilded incense burner on it, a yellow rosewood cabinet next to the table, and two armchairs and a flower table on the other side.

The bedroom was very large, with a yellow rosewood bed with flowing clouds and lotus and carp carved in the middle, covered with a Ruyi pattern woven gold-embellished satin mattress, which looked soft and comfortable. There were also dressing tables, wooden hangers, and other items, as well as a yellow rosewood screen embroidered with four-season flowers, and behind it seemed to be a bathroom.

Yao Niang was welcomed to sit in the main hall, and then a line of more than ten maids came in from outside with their heads bowed and their hands folded, and knelt down together.

"This servant has met the Madam."

Yao Niang was startled. In her previous life, she was also a Madam, but she was arranged by the Princess of Jin.

She was called a Madam, but in fact she was just a concubine.

At that time, she was dependent on the princess, and because of her illegitimate birth, she felt guilty and short of breath. Although there were many maids and servants around her, she had never put on the airs of a master in front of the servants, so she had never been kneeled like this.

She wanted to stand up, but was gently pressed down by Yuchan from behind.

Yao Niang was not stupid. She understood Yuchan's meaning, so she sat upright on the chair, thinking about the princess's demeanor when facing the servants, and slowly said: "Everyone stand up."

It can be seen that Yao Niang was very embarrassed. Yuchan sighed in her heart and spoke for her: "Today is a great day for the madam, and there are rewards below. You go down first, and Hongchou and the others stay."

Then the line of maids withdrew, leaving only four maids in blue jackets.

These four maids were not old, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with fair little faces, standing upright, and you can tell at a glance that they are well-behaved.

"Madam, they are Hongchou, Hongyan, Hongdie, and Hongfei. From now on, the four of them will serve you."

Yao Niang nodded.

Yuchan said again: "As for the young master, do you think it's okay to arrange for him to live in the west wing? He will still be served by Axia, and there will be two maids and a wet nurse."

Yao Niang cared more about Xiaobao than herself. She asked about the specific situation and went to the west wing to take a look.

Seeing that the furnishings in the room were grand and luxurious, and every aspect was taken care of, she was relieved. After that, she asked everyone to leave and took a rest in the room with Xiaobao in her arms.

That said, how could he sleep.

Xiaobao lay on his mother's fragrant and soft new bed, looking at his mother with some heartache.

At this moment, his dissatisfaction with King Jin reached its peak. In order to force his mother to have no way out and explode this matter, he actually used this method. Although Xiaobao didn't know the specific inside story, he knew by guessing that he didn't believe that his father didn't do anything to block his father in his mother's bed, just like Concubine Hu.

He stretched out his little hand and patted Yao Niang's legs twice. His original intention was to comfort her, but Yao Niang misunderstood that her son was unhappy because she ignored him.

"Xiaobao, be good and go to sleep. When you wake up, mother will play with you again." As she said that, she lay down beside Xiaobao, held her son in her arms, and patted his back again and again.

Xiaobao just lay there obediently. Compared with before, he can now accept Yao Niang's intimate behavior very well.

Mother's body smells good, her hands are soft, and Xiaobao is drowsy.

At this moment, he heard Yao Niang suddenly say: "No matter what, I will definitely not die in this life. He is a domineering character and cannot tolerate disobedience from others, so I just follow him. How can he protect us?" The two of you are doing well..."

Xiaobao was excited, and his drowsiness suddenly disappeared, but Yao Niang didn't move anymore, and she looked like she was asleep.

small theater:

King Jin: I’ve been mentally disturbed recently, and I’m also very desperate (?ó﹏ò?)

Anyone who expects the nanny and Prince Jin to get into trouble and get angry will probably be disappointed.

In fact, Yao Niang still has her own cleverness. At least she knows how to recognize interests, knows how to keep herself humble, and knows how to protect herself and her son within the scope of her control...

Chapter 63

Xiaobao wanted to sit up, but he was afraid of waking up Yao Niang.

Lying on his side, he looked at his mother's face seriously, thinking about it in his mind.

In the previous life, my father acted arbitrarily and violently, and was addicted to the Taoist method of immortality. Everyone said that his father was crazy and was seeking immortality. Only Xiaobao knew that although monks and Taoists were rampant in the palace and his father repeatedly built temples and Taoist temples in the palace, in fact, he was not seeking immortality because his father did not seek immortality at all. The monks were not allowed to refine the elixir that could lead to immortality after taking it.

They were doing very secretive things, they seemed to be praying for blessings, and they seemed to be setting up some kind of formation.

Xiaobao always thought that his father had listened to the slanderous words of the Imperial Master Hanchuanzi and was trying to change his destiny for him. For this reason, he made many suggestions, but his father ignored him.

Until now, Xiaobao suddenly no longer thinks so. Maybe what his father did is not without effect.

Otherwise, why would he and her mother have to live again?

Xiaobao turned over on the bed and rolled away.

What on earth has his mother been through, and why did she say such a thing? Is this why she would rather be a wet nurse than be a concubine for her father?

So what crisis will they face? Are they the women in the backyard, or the political enemies of my father? Or...

No one could tell Xiaobao that it was the first time since he returned from his new job that he felt so powerless.

I can't talk, I can't walk, I can't do anything.

The large kitchen is located in the northwest of the back house, and there are many people standing in the open space in front of the door.

In the middle of the crowd, two bloated women were being beaten on the torture bench by several eunuchs.

This Prince Jin's Mansion is different from other places. There are not only ordinary servants, but also eunuchs and maids that Prince Jin brought to the fiefdom from the capital. These people are marked as "from the palace" and are particularly different from others. No one would dare to mess with them when walking in the palace.

However, there are not many people, and most of them are eunuchs.

The servants of the palace have formed the understanding that whenever these eunuchs and grandfathers go out, they are doing things for His Highness. These rootless eunuch slaves are all ruthless, so ruthless that it makes people tremble in cold war. Anyone who offends them will be hanged to death.

But today there is no one to provoke them, but these evil stars have come on their own.

Many people don't know the origin of the incident. They only know that there are two garrulous women in the big kitchen talking about what happened last night.

People are always keen on such taboo topics related to the privacy of men and women, not only in the city and countryside, but also in the royal palace. The little girls just listened with blushing faces. These women who have raised children have no taboos when talking about it.

He said it with a nose and an eye, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. During the period, the language was so vulgar that I will not describe it one by one here.

Some just listened with their ears pricked up, while others couldn't help but move closer. More and more people gathered together, and at this moment, this group of eunuchs, who were as fierce as tigers, suddenly arrived, and without saying a word, they pinned several women to the ground who were frothing at the mouth.

And the first people to be killed to scare the monkeys were these two women who committed suicide themselves.

"You are so courageous, talking about the master in private! You probably don't want to live anymore. Do you think grandpa can't hear you if you hide your talk in nooks and crannies? Hey! I don't want you to know that grandpa has a smooth ear. In this mansion If you want to know, there is nothing you don’t know.”

Xiao Shunzi put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and said in a deliberately long voice: "Beat, beat me hard, and throw it out of the house after you beat it. Our family wants to know what happened to each house in Jinzhou. Knowing that these unscrupulous slaves were thrown out from Prince Jin's palace, no one would dare to take them in."
