The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(81)
Concubine Hu, who was scolding her, treated Su Yao Niang kindly. It seemed that she had given her face, but she brought up the little princess to talk about it, which was obviously to shame her for not respecting her as a mother.
But she had to endure it, otherwise she would have responded to the princess's words. Concubine Hu's face was like a dyeing workshop, colorful and wonderful.
Concubine Xu knew her good sister's behavior too well. Through Su Yao Niang, she not only demonstrated her status, but also warned the people below not to offend rashly, and at the same time set up Su Yao Niang as a target.
If Su Yao Niang was stupid, who knows how to be grateful to her.
It was not just one stone and three birds, but everyone present was played by her.
"Okay, let's all go."
With these words, everyone stood up and saluted again, watching Princess Jin enter the inner room, and then retreated from the hall.
Yao Niang walked out with Yu Chan, ignoring the eyes around her that had many meanings.
"Farewell, Madam." It was obvious that since the princess showed a different view of Yao Niang, the maids in Siyi Courtyard treated her more kindly. When seeing others off, they used a standard tone and expression, but when seeing her off, their faces and tone revealed a sense of closeness.
Yao Niang nodded with a faint smile, and was about to step out of the courtyard when she suddenly heard a scream.
She turned her head and saw Concubine Hu with a ferocious face, her slender hand raised high, but her wrist was held in Yu Chan's hand. It was Concubine Hu who was angry in her heart and was going to learn from the rough woman in the market to attack Yao Niang.
"Let go, you slut." Concubine Hu said in pain.
Yu Chan had no expression on her face, as if she didn't hear it at all.
Those who hadn't left yet all looked at Concubine Hu sideways. Most of the concubines of King Jin were of high birth, and they had never seen such vulgar behavior. Although she didn't say anything, she actually had more contempt for Concubine Hu.
Such a person could be favored by His Royal Highness Prince Jin and give birth to a little princess. It was really...
Feeling all kinds of strange looks from the side, Concubine Hu was angry and anxious, and couldn't help but start to speak without thinking. First she scolded Yuchan, and then she scolded Yao Niang.
As she was scolding, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked up and saw Prince Jin standing not far away with a cold face, followed by Fucheng.
Suddenly, the sound was like a chicken being strangled, and it stopped abruptly.
Chapter 65
Yuchan took back her hand and stepped aside.
Concubine Hu couldn't recover for a long time: "Your Highness, Concubine, Concubine..."
Prince Jin snorted coldly, looked away: "Follow." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Yao Niang hadn't reacted yet. It wasn't until Yuchan pushed her that she realized that the words were spoken to her, and she hurriedly followed.
Behind her, Concubine Hu cried and shouted, but it soon disappeared. It was Concubine Jin who knew what happened outside and ordered people to bring Concubine Hu in to avoid losing face.
It can be predicted that Concubine Hu will probably be in trouble this time. Concubine Jin will not miss such a good opportunity to punish her.
However, Yao Niang has no time to care about this for the time being. She is worried about how to catch up with the King of Jin.
The King of Jin is tall, with long legs and big steps, and she is wearing such a long skirt and taking small steps to chase him, how can she catch up.
After following for a while, she saw that the tall and slender figure in front of her was getting farther and farther away, so she simply didn't want to follow, and stopped in frustration to take a breath. She found that Yuchan didn't catch up, and turned back to look on the road. Suddenly, the light in front of her was covered by a shadow. She turned her head and saw him standing in front of her, frowning slightly, as if he was very dissatisfied with her.
"Can't you even walk properly?"
Yao Niang was angry, but she didn't dare to lose her temper, and whispered: "Your Highness walks so fast, I can't keep up."
Prince Jin snorted coldly, turned around and walked away again, but this time his steps were much smaller.
Yao Niang didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly followed him, one body position behind him.
"Why is Your Highness here?"
"Your Highness, you're taking the wrong road. This is the road to Rongxiyuan." Why would Prince Jin go to Rongxiyuan in the early morning? So Yao Niang subconsciously thought that Prince Jin was so angry with Concubine Hu that he even took the wrong road.
Prince Jin stopped, and Yao Niang couldn't help but bump into him.
It was also a coincidence that she bumped into her nose. When such a fragile thing as the nose bumped into such a copper wall, Yao Niang's nose felt sour and astringent, and tears couldn't help flowing down.
It was really stupid!
He actually made this trip for such a stupid person, but she was not grateful to him, but stupidly asked him what he was doing and whether he had taken the wrong road. In the past, King Jin just thought that the little nurse was not thoughtful, but this was the first time that he sincerely thought she was stupid.
But she was so stupid, and she looked so pitiful. King Jin raised his chin modestly and glanced at her who was covering her nose and tears were streaming down her face.
It's right! You walk without looking at the road!
Thinking so in his heart, his hand was trying to pull her hand covering her face to see if her nose was broken. If it was really broken, he didn't want to face an ugly freak with a broken nose all day long, even if this ugly freak had a good body that he liked very much.
Yao Niang insisted on covering her face so that he wouldn't see it, but unfortunately she was not as strong as others, and was forced to pull her nose and forehead, revealing a red nose.
King Jin looked at her and found that she was really ugly like this, but luckily her nose was not flat. Seeing her crying like this, King Jin couldn't bear to sit with her under the sun, so he picked her up and strode forward.
Fucheng, who had just disappeared, appeared like a ghost, followed by two young eunuchs. The three of them had legs like hot wheels, running as fast as flying. If you meet people along the road, you can drive them away. If you can't drive them away, they all stand facing inward and bowing their heads.
But isn’t this deceiving others?
Soon, the news spread throughout the palace that Mrs. Su was beaten by Concubine Hu in Siyi Courtyard and asked His Highness to carry her back to Rongxi Courtyard.
However, Concubine Hu didn't gain anything. It was obvious that Mrs. Su was His Highness's heart and soul now. His Highness was looking at her indifferently. She was clearly looking for trouble. He was severely reprimanded by the princess and even banned. It is said that the princess sent someone a thick stack of Buddha scriptures and said that he would not be released until he copied them all in one day.
Concubine Hu was in great disgrace this time.
Yao Niang was held in King Jin's arms, and she was completely stunned.
After swaggering through the city and arriving at Rongyiyuan, King Jin directly placed her on the Luohan bed and ordered Hongsi to get a basin of cold water to give her a cold compress.
Only then did Yao Niang realize what she was doing. She rolled out of the Arhat bed, covered her face and went inside with the red silk.
After cleaning up, when I came out again, I felt much better, but my nose and eye circles were still a little red, and I looked pitiful.
Prince Jin glanced at her unfavorably, said nothing, and just drank his tea with his eyes lowered.
This time it was Yao Niang's turn to come to his side. In fact, at this moment, Yao Niang also understood the reason why King Jin suddenly appeared. It was probably because someone reported to him that she had gone to Siyi Courtyard. He was afraid that she wouldn't be able to cope with it, so he went out of his way to support her?
For some reason, she suddenly felt sweet in her heart, thinking that he might like her.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
King Jin snorted.
In fact, if it is said to be a hum, it doesn't sound like it. It is more like a reply, but the tone is stronger than the reply. This is because I am still angry.
"You're not stupid yet, you know what you should do and what you shouldn't do."
When Leng Buding heard this, Yao Niang couldn't react, but she soon understood what King Jin meant, which was referring to her behavior of going to Siyi Courtyard just now to pay respects.
"She is a person who has a sense of dignity and propriety. She will not make things difficult for you if you abide by your duties and do not overstep your bounds. Today, the king is here. Those who should understand will naturally understand the meaning, and those who should not understand will not be able to come to you. Come."
This is the first time that King Jin has spoken to Yao Niang in such an instructive tone. What he means is nothing more than, I remember my previous promise, so you have nothing to be afraid of. Look, the king has solved all your worries.
Yao Niang was not used to King Jin like this, so she glanced at him quietly. But she didn't expect that he was looking at her, and their eyes met. Yao Niang rubbed her sleeves uncomfortably: "Anyway, thank you, Your Highness."
King Jin looked at her, "Is this how you thank me?"
Yao Niang blushed immediately and wanted to pretend to be dead. King Jin's eyes were glaring.
She glanced secretly to the side and found that at some point Hong Si and the others had all retreated. Then she leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek like a dragonfly. Just as she was about to pull back, he grabbed her tightly and deepened the kiss.
King Jin seemed to be in a state of excitement all the time, and he obviously wanted more thanks than Yao Niang expected.
It's early autumn and the sun is shining brightly outside. The two of them were sitting on the Arhat couch in the East Room. Through the clear tiles on the window, they could faintly see the flowers and trees outside.
In the courtyard, Hongdie was instructing the little girl to do her work. Although she had lowered her voice, it was still so clear to the ears of those who deliberately listened. There was still a girl standing on the porch outside the door, and Yao Niang knew it even if she didn't go out.
There are no doors between the east room and the main room, only a floor-to-ceiling cover separates them. It feels like someone will lift the bead curtain and come in at any time, adding a sense of taboo excitement.
King Jin went to pull Yao Niang's clothes, but Yao Niang insisted on holding his hand and not letting her go. His expression was too familiar to her, and she couldn't tell that he was not thinking of anything good.
It would be unjust if King Jin knew this. He was just thinking of something good.
Yao Niang was extremely flustered. She wanted to reject him but was afraid that he would be angry, but this was too challenging for her nerves. Obviously Prince Jin was much more decisive than her. He wouldn't let her pull at the top, so he pulled off the bottom. When Yao Niang reacted, she somehow managed to get in.
From the outside, the two behaved normally, and their clothes were neatly dressed. They were just sitting on each other's lap, which seemed to be intimate, but there was nothing wrong with it. Little did he know that the place under her skirt was already turned upside down, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't express it.
