The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(9)
This woman is also a human being, so naturally she heard that Liu's mother was scolding her, and she immediately became angry and cursed: "You are so proud, but you probably don't know that your Hu Lai has gone to Jude Village again!"
After leaving the words, the woman retracted her head into the door.
Mother Liu's face was ugly, and she cursed countless heads off in her heart, but when she thought that she was about to be appreciated by the princess, the haze in her heart suddenly disappeared.
She entered the palace through the back door and walked along the path through the back garden to Siyi Courtyard.
When we arrived at Siyi Courtyard, we crossed the screen wall and faced the main room with seven bays and seven bays. There are ear rooms and side rooms on both sides, with front and rear covered rooms and buildings, carved beams and painted pillars, which are magnificent and very grand.
There were several girls in green armor standing on the corridor of the main room. She walked towards the wall and said with a stern look on her face: "Miss Hong'er, I want to see Mother Li for something. I wonder if she is here?"
The girl named Hong'er looked at her for a while and then recognized her as Mrs. Liu, who was in charge of flowers in the mansion. Knowing that she and Li's mother knew each other and had helped the princess run errands, he said: "Wait a minute, I'll go in and help you pass the message."
Mother Liu put on a smile, nodded repeatedly, went to the base of the wall and stood with her hands drawn back.
Chapter 7
After almost a quarter of an hour, Li's mother walked out and led her into a side room next to her.
This wing room has a stove, tables and chairs, and is a tea room.
"What? Are you looking for something from me?"
Mother Liu smiled extremely flatteringly and said: "No, I have paid attention to the matter you mentioned to me last time. No, Qian'er went back to her natal family and found a wonderful person in my natal sister's place. Son."
Mother Li is busy with many things, so she forgot to mention anything to Mother Liu.
It wasn't until she saw Mother Liu's meaningful smile that she remembered that a while ago, she and several women in the house were sitting together for a drink. By the end of the meal, all the women were drunk, and only she and Mother Liu were left. Two people. She drank too much and couldn't help chatting with the other party about her troubles. She even forgot about it. She never expected that Mrs. Liu would take it to heart.
Mother Li raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly, feeling impatient to be coveted, and her tone became colder: "What kind of wonderful person makes you, Mother Liu, feel like you have found such a treasure?"
Mother Liu was just immersed in her joy and didn't even notice Mother Li's cold attitude, "What a wonderful person, I guarantee it with my own life. To be bold, I have never seen anyone better than this person in this huge palace." A better man."
Mother Li originally wanted to dismiss it casually, but when Mother Liu said this, she became curious.
"Looks very juicy?"
Mother Liu smiled ambiguously: "It's not just that."
"That's compared to staying at the chūn pavilion——"
"No worse than her!" Mother Liu patted her chest and said, "Anyway, sister, if you believe me, just meet her. If you don't like her, I won't show up in front of you next time."
Although Mother Liu has some minor problems like this, she is generally not a person who likes to pee. Who could make her make such a gesture? Is this such a remarkable person?
Mother Li thought about it for a while and said: "Okay, since you said so, I'm gone too. I just picked out some nipples for the little princess. You can mix them in tomorrow and bring them to the house. come and see."
Mother Liu happily clapped her hands and said, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter. I didn't even get the person back. I was afraid that someone would catch my hands and feet, so I deliberately settled outside."
After hearing this, Mother Li somewhat appreciated Mother Liu's caution, and after telling her a few words, she left.
Mother Liu happily left Siyi Courtyard and left the palace through the back door.
Early in the morning, just after dawn, Liu's mother came to the inn to pick up Yaoniang.
He took her to have a good meal first, and before leaving, he explained the matters and rules that should be paid attention to after entering the mansion, and then led Yao Niang to Prince Jin's Mansion.
The Jin Palace is still as majestic and majestic as Yaoniang remembered.
The two entered the house from the west side door and passed through many courtyards along the way. Yao Niang didn't look sideways, and Liu's mother liked her even more when she saw her. She felt that this little woman was really obedient.
People at the top like people at the bottom to be obedient and obedient. Such people are easy to manipulate.
When we arrived at a flower hall, there were already five or six young women waiting inside. All of them have fair skin and plump bodies, and they look like they have just given birth.
Yao Niang had just given birth, but she was not as round as these little women. She was a little fatter than before, but she was just right. She was fat where she should be, and thin where she should be. She looked even more slim and graceful, like a plump gourd.
As soon as Yao Niangfang walked in, she attracted everyone's attention, because of her outstanding appearance, and also because she really didn't look like a nanny, but more like...
They probably knew that there were strict rules in this palace, so these little ladies only looked up for a few times, then lowered their heads again. Mother Liu winked at Yao Niang, and Yao Niang went to stand between them.
In the main room of Siyi Courtyard, Princess Jin had just gotten up.
A row of several girls wearing blue armour, holding copper basins, kettles, face towels, tea cups and other items, stood outside the window with yellow rosewood and carved ganoderma lucidum and the moonlight door.
Princess Jin suffers from dizziness and has to sit for a long time before getting up every day. She is accustomed to being well-behaved, and the maids and women in Siyiyuan are very well-behaved. They can stand holding such heavy things without trembling in their arms, legs, or feet.
Zi Yan helped her up, put a soft pillow behind her and let her sit, then brought her a bowl of ginseng tea. After drinking some ginseng tea with red dates, Princess Jin finally felt much better, and her almost transparent face had a little color.
"Why do I always feel that the prescription prescribed by Doctor Liu Liang doesn't seem to have any effect." Mother Zhou said on the side.
Mother Zhou looked to be in her fifties, with a round face and fair skin. She wore an indigo jacket and a blue-gray horse-faced skirt, and her black hair was tied into a bun behind her head, fixed with a simple golden hairpin, which was very neat and dignified.
She was the wet nurse of Princess Jin, and had been serving Princess Jin since she was a child. When Princess Jin got married, she came with the dowry, so she was uniquely decent in front of Princess Jin.
Princess Jin frowned, her face full of fatigue, "Liu Liang's medicine is still useful, but my body is not good, and this dizziness can never be cured."
"The princess had been much better before, and in my opinion, it was because of the delay in staying in the chunguan. The prince is also the same, he actually brought back such a vixen..."
Princess Jin put the teacup in her hand on the tray in the hands of the maid next to her, and spit out the tea in her mouth into the spittoon held by another maid. Zi Yan picked up a white handkerchief to help her wipe the corners of her mouth, and then she said: "Okay, nurse, don't say anything."
Her tone was flat, and there was no intention of condemnation, but Mother Zhou immediately fell silent.
The maids came up to help Princess Jin rinse her mouth and clean her face, and then applied moisturizing facial cream, and then left one by one.
Zi Yan helped Princess Jin up from the bed.
Princess Jin came to sit in front of the dressing table, and Zi Yan picked up a rhinoceros horn comb to comb her hair. Combing it again and again, it would take a hundred times to count.
Now only the confidants of Princess Jin are left in this room, so they can say something.
Princess Jin then said, "Nurse, you should control your mouth in the future. You can't criticize the master. You are my nurse, I am fine, but don't forget who the real master of this house is."
It is the King of Jin.
It is not allowed to allow a servant to criticize, even if this person is the princess's nursemaid.
Mother Zhou said embarrassedly, "I know. But I am angry for you. What's so good about Liuchun Pavilion? A woman who came from the red-light district dares to deliberately go against you..."
When this matter was mentioned, Mother Zhou was a little indignant again.
Mother Zhou is good in everything, but she is too talkative. In fact, she is not like this to others. It is because Princess Jin was raised by her nurse, and she almost treats Princess Jin as her own daughter, so she is particularly angry for her.
Princess Jin was born of noble birth. Her aunt was a noble concubine. She was also the legitimate daughter of Duke Xu's mansion. She grew up in a blessed place. She had a good appearance and was known as a talented woman since she was young. It was reasonable to say that she was born with such talent and was a daughter of heaven.
Unfortunately, the moon waxes and wanes, and the water overflows. Princess Jin was good in every way, but she had a weak body since she was a child.
However, with such a birth, she could invite any kind of imperial physician and find any kind of rare medicinal materials. She was raised to adulthood until she married the King of Jin and became the Princess.
Although Jinzhou was a frontier place, the King of Jin was a prince. Jinzhou was the fief of the King of Jin. All the good things in the fief were first kept in the mansion. Duke Xu's mansion in the capital would send things from time to time, not to mention the rewards from the palace. Therefore, the life of Princess Jin was never discounted, and it was even better than when she was in the mansion.
But despite such careful care, the health of the Princess of Jin has not improved. She has been married to the Prince of Jin for seven years, and there has been no good news.
In the past, it could be attributed to the fact that the Prince of Jin spent little time in the mansion. He was in the border town for most of the year. After returning to the mansion, he was very busy and rarely stayed in the backyard. But when the spring festival started last year, the Prince of Jin brought a woman back from outside.
This woman is Concubine Hu.
Concubine Hu has been favored since she entered the mansion. The usually dull Prince of Jin actually stayed in the spring house like a demon. Concubine Hu was also very happy. Not long after entering the mansion, she gave birth to the first child of the Prince of Jin, the little princess.
Concubine Hu was also named a concubine because of her daughter's status.
