The Favored Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(79)

The sound of the board clattered, the people being beaten cried loudly, and the old women waiting to be beaten were scared to death.

If it was just a beating, it would be fine, but it seems that they want to drive them out of the palace.

They have been working in the palace for many years. They are old. If they are really driven out, no one will dare to use them. It will be a dead end. No, it is worse than a dead end. If they die, they will die in a moment. But being driven out means being displaced and having a miserable old age.

Not to mention that they don’t know if they can survive this beating!

They all knelt down and begged for mercy, but Xiao Shunzi, don’t look at his tender face, but he is cruel. Let you hit your head and bleed, his eyebrows and face will not even move.

The onlookers were all terrified. Naturally, they were not afraid of Xiao Shunzi, but Fu Zongguan behind Xiao Shunzi, and the King of Jin behind Fu Zongguan.

The King of Jin never cared about the affairs of the harem, and had never started such a big fight. What was unexpected was that the first time he started a fight, he was serious!

At the same time, similar scenes were also being played out in other places.

These servants who talked nonsense were inevitably curious, but there were also those who were instructed to stir up trouble. But who knows? Looking at the movement in Chaohui Hall, it seems that no matter what you want to do, they are going to crush you to death.

When the news reached Siyi Courtyard, the princess was stunned for a moment and smiled: "I was planning to sort out the downstairs. Now that Your Highness has taken action, it saves me trouble."

Mother Zhou thought differently from her. She felt that the princess must be uncomfortable. His Highness didn't go into the quilts of so many legitimate wives and concubines, but went to the quilt of a wet nurse, or the wet nurse next to the little princess.

He went in, and was caught in the act, and he didn't let anyone say anything! Seeing how distressed His Highness was for that little demon, Mother Zhou couldn't bear to see it. Looking at this movement, it seems that everyone in the mansion is going to shut up. Whoever dares to say something will be ready to face the thunderous wrath of His Highness.

The key is what should the princess, the wife of His Highness, think? Men should not interfere in the affairs of the harem, especially for a lowly wet nurse. This is not only training, but also a slap in the face.

Slap the face of Princess Jin!

Mother Zhou was particularly indignant, and immediately hated Yao Niang in her heart, thinking that choosing her to enter the mansion was a wrong move.

She naturally did not forget to remind Princess Jin, but Princess Jin smiled and said nothing.

Compared with Siyiyuan, the reactions of Liuchun Hall and several other places were much more intense, either sneering or resentful and angry, so I won’t describe them one by one.

For a time, the whole palace was in a panic, and all this was for a wet nurse.

I’m afraid that if you tell it out, no one will believe it.

But Yao Niang didn’t know about this at the moment. She had slept for an afternoon and just woke up.

After Yao Niang woke up, she found that her son was missing. Yu Chan came in and told her that Xiao Bao was taken to the yard to play.

Yu Chan helped Yao Niang dress.

Yao Niang was still not used to doing it herself. Yu Chan said, "Madam, you should get used to this. Let the servants do what they should do. It's not just a question of whether you can do it, but you have to let them know that you are the master."

Yao Niang knew that Yu Chan was teaching her. In fact, it's not that she didn't understand, but in her previous life, the servants around her were all given by the princess. She was not upright, felt guilty and short of breath, and always dared not to order them. And Die Er was used to being lazy, so she did many things by herself if she could.

Maybe, she should change her attitude.

Yao Niang stretched out her arms and let Yu Chan help her change her clothes, and then went to the dressing table to put on her makeup. Yu Chan was not good at this, so she called Hong Chou in.

Hong Chou was a maid with a round face and almond eyes, with fair skin and skillful hands. First, she combed Yao Niang's long hair with a comb, and asked her what hairstyle she wanted. Yao Niang said that any hairstyle was fine, so she quickly combed Yao Niang's hair into a bun, and fixed it with a hairpin made of red gold filigree and red ruby ​​butterfly flowers.

The hairpin was taken out by Yu Chan from the jewelry box. This jewelry box seemed to be sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Yao Niang had never opened it, so she naturally didn't know what was inside, but she didn't recognize other hairpins, but she recognized this hairpin.

In her previous life, the King of Jin also rewarded her with such a hairpin, and she was wearing this hairpin when she died.

All along, Yao Niang didn't want to recall how she died in her previous life, and she never dared to think deeply. She pretended that she was the only one who died in her previous life, and her sister and Xiaobao were still fine. Xiaobao might have a hard life because of the loss of his mother, but he must be fine.

But when she saw this hairpin, Yao Niang could no longer deceive herself.

If she was not mistaken, she died of poisoning in her previous life. Before she died, the only thing she had eaten was the dish given by the princess.

Not only had she eaten that dish, her sister had also eaten it, and she had fed Xiaobao milk after eating it...

Yao Niang closed her eyes and reached out to touch the hairpin. There was a red gem inlaid on the butterfly mouth. Although it was not big, the color was extremely gorgeous, which made people tremble.

Seeing that Yao Niang looked a little strange, Hongchou asked nervously: "Madam, is it not combed well?"

Yao Niang looked at herself in the mirror, touched the red gem again, stretched out her slender fingers to touch it, and then smiled and said: "Very good, very beautiful."

Hongchou was relieved and praised: "Madam is born well."

Yes, she was born well, and everyone praised her like this since she was a child.

Now she only has one thing left, that is, she was born well.

Hongdie hurried in and reported: "Madam, the prince is here."

Yao Niang did not delay and went out to greet him with the maids.

The people in Rongxi Courtyard seemed very happy, and several maids were also smiling, as if the arrival of Prince Jin was something worth celebrating.

Yao Niang stood by the door and looked forward.

It was dusk, and the sky was full of red clouds, making everything in sight shrouded in a crimson color.

He was tall and majestic, walking towards here with dragon-like steps.

This was the first time in Yao Niang's life that she came to greet Prince Jin in this capacity, dignified and aboveboard, she was a little uncomfortable and a little dazed.

While she was thinking about it, he had already come close, and a shadow enveloped her.

Prince Jin saw a person standing in front of the main room from a distance, wearing a bright red peony-shaped jacket with twelve pieces of Xiangfei-colored silk skirt, with a graceful figure and a graceful and elegant appearance.

When he got closer, he saw her snow-white skin, black hair, watery eyes and red lips, with watery tenderness and charm, and a kind of weak and timid state. The King of Jin suddenly felt that his restless heart was finally calmed down, and he planned to go back and reward the steward of the Internal Affairs Department.

She knows how to choose and knows what is suitable for her.

A little nurse should be like this, wearing gorgeous clothes and finely crafted, instead of wearing clothes that even country women don't wear all day, doing those vulgar jobs, hiding all the beauty.

This is how the woman of the King of Jin should be!

The King of Jin walked up and grabbed her hand, leading her inside: "What are you thinking about?"

Yao Niang was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and said: "Nothing."

The King of Jin obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't expose her. The two entered the east room and sat on the Luohan bed, and a maid came up to serve tea.

The King of Jin drank half a cup of tea, put down the teacup, and asked Fucheng to serve the meal.

This meal was naturally not from the big kitchen, but from the Chaohui Hall.

After Fucheng went out to give the order, a young eunuch half lifted up the hem of his robe and ran quickly to Chaohui Hall. It was probably prepared in advance on the stove. Soon, a group of young eunuchs carrying red lacquer and gold-painted crabapple food boxes ran to Rongxi Courtyard at a fast pace, attracting the attention of the servants in the mansion.

There are also particularities in running. This is the first skill that the eunuchs walking in the palace have to learn. It seems that their legs are running fast like the wind, but their shoulders and hands are not shaking. This skill is practiced to the deepest level. You can hold a porcelain plate filled with water on your head and run back and forth between several palaces. You have to maintain speed and prevent the water from spilling.

So when the meal was served, not even a little soup was spilled, and it was still steaming, as if it had just come out of the pot.

With maids serving the meal, the two sat next to each other, which was another unprecedented scene.

Seriously speaking, Yao Niang had never been with King Jin like this before. In the previous life, the King of Jin came to her just to do that thing, and occasionally he would stay with her for a meal, but he ate while she stood. But now the two of them can eat at the same table.

Yao Niang couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and at the same time, she felt more confident about what she was going to do next.

Since he liked her, she tried to make him like her more, and keep liking her. Until one day he didn't like her anymore, by then Xiaobao might have grown up.

Small theater:

King of Jin: Little nurse, this fish pond will be contracted to you.

Little nurse: [pointing at each other] I am very terrified, I, I don't know how to raise fish...

King of Jin: If you don't know how to raise fish, you can raise shrimp... In short, as my woman, Zhao Ritian, you must contract this fish pond of mine...

Chapter 64

After the meal, there was nothing to do.

The two of them came to the east room together again. King of Jin took a bath and changed his clothes, and then came out and half leaned on the Luohan bed to read a book. Yao Niang felt uneasy, so she went to find a half-made dress for Xiao Bao and fetched it in her hands.

The light was soft and quiet, and from time to time, the sound of King Jin turning pages could be heard.

King Jin half-lifted his eyelids and looked at her sitting under the lamp, serious and meticulous. What women do to pass the time in their spare time is a blank for King Jin. Inexplicably, he thought it was not bad for her to do so, if only the dress in her hand was not that of the peddler.

He cleared his throat: "What are you fetching?"

Yao Niang did not expect him to ask this, and subconsciously answered: "I am making clothes for Xiao Bao." She seemed to know that he did not like Xiao Bao, and her voice was a little low at the end.
