The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(13)

The green bamboo is also too eye-catching. Yang Liu's slender waist looks plump and bulging, and the sweat towel around her waist wants to be tied tightly, for fear that it won't show off her figure. The other one's clothes were old and loose, and he couldn't see clearly.

It was just a meeting, and Concubine Hu had a rough impression of these two people. She already knew who should pay attention to them and who should deal with them first.

In particular, Cuizhu's appearance tends to be gorgeous and charming, and Concubine Hu also has a charming appearance.

Seeing that Concubine Hu's eyes were wandering back and forth on Cuizhu, but only glanced at her briefly, Yao Niang's high-spirited heart finally calmed down a little.

It took a long time to talk about all this, but in fact it only took a few breaths. Soon Concubine Hu withdrew her eyes and said calmly: "Take them to the small courtyard."

"yes."

Until the two turned around and left, Yao Niang could still feel Concubine Hu's gaze lingering on their backs.

She was glad that she made the right decision.

Over at Siyi Courtyard, Hong'er showed Yao Niang's clothes to Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother frowned and said, "I'm just wondering why this little woman is wearing new clothes instead of old ones. Clothes means the clothes are torn."

Princess Jin was also there, looking up.

Seeing this, Zhou's mother hurriedly explained what happened.

"The one named Cuizhu belongs to Mrs. Cao's family?"

Zhou's mother nodded: "I, the wife of Cuizhu, are all princesses who marry Zhuangzi and do errands. This woman also had a bad fate. She died just after she became pregnant with a man. No, if she loses her livelihood, she wants to find a job in the government. Old I thought she was a high-spirited person, and her color was first-rate, so I chose her. Who would have thought that she would have such a restless temperament."

She frowned slightly, obviously disgusted with what Cuizhu did.

Because in the eyes of people like them, Cuizhu is a stupid person. Only a stupid person would do such a thankless thing to disgust people.

But on the contrary, Princess Jin didn't take it seriously. She was meant to cause trouble for others, and as long as it caused trouble for others, that would be fine. As for whether she can continue to cause trouble, it depends on the other party's luck. If she does well, she won't mind letting the other party become Feng's second concubine.

From Princess Jin's perspective, it was someone like Cuizhu who was easier to control, stupid and out-of-the-box enough to cause trouble.

On the other hand, Princess Jin was a little disappointed...

But she didn't take it to heart. She was just a servant, which was not very important to Princess Jin's status. Don't look at the fact that Yaoniang satisfied Princess Jin yesterday, but this satisfaction is like seeing a unique hairpin or a cute kitten or puppy, it's just a toy.

Just try to get a smile. If you don't like it, just throw it away, because there will always be countless such people swarming around.

"Okay, wet nurse, it's just a show, don't be too cautious."

"That's right." Zhou's mother nodded, smiling, "There is no need for us to be so cautious about things at Liu Chun Hall."

This is of course ironic. Honorable people are all about face. Could it be that Siyiyuan cares about Liuchūn Hall, so it makes Jizzi disgusting at every turn? It doesn't mean that I am too small-minded.

Every time there was trouble in the Liu Chun Hall, it was always when the atmosphere in Siyi Courtyard was at its best, and everyone was smiling, as if they had witnessed some farce. Princess Jin also smiled, but she smiled and casually glanced out the window, her eyebrows frowning slightly.

She was suddenly tired of being like this. She seemed to be living just to fight with those women?

The little princess lives in a small courtyard in the Liuchūn Pavilion.

It is said to be a small cross-yard, but in fact it does not live up to its name.

It is a courtyard adjacent to the Ryuchūn Pavilion. A corner door is opened from the side to lead to the Ryuchūn Pavilion. There is also a main entrance for free entry and exit.

Although the yard is not big, it looks extremely exquisite. There are three two-story small buildings with pink walls and black tiles, and the windows and doors are all vermilion. There are two large tanks in the courtyard. There are lotus leaves floating in the large tanks, but they are filled with lotus flowers, which have not yet reached their full bloom season. In addition, two pink apricot trees were planted in the open space in front of the verandah, making the whole scene surprisingly soft.

In addition to the small building, there is also an inverted back room and a back room, as well as left and right wing rooms, which can be considered extremely spacious.

Nowadays, in addition to the little princess living in the courtyard, there is a stewardess, two eldest maids, four second-class maids, a rough maid, Ruogān, and two wet nurses, a total of more than ten people serving the little princess. Now two more people, Yaoniang and Cuizhu, have been added.

This is just to serve a little baby. When the little princess gets older, there will only be more people to serve.

Because she also has a child of the same size, Yao Niang sighed and couldn't help but feel the comparison. They were both baby babies, but she owed Xiaobao a lot.

Thinking of this, his mood inevitably darkened.

When Yaoniang and Cuizhu arrived at the small courtyard, they were led to Mother Mu first.

This Grandma Mu is the steward of the small courtyard.

Why she was called Mammy instead of Mother, Yao Niang didn't understand at first. She only learned later in her previous life that only those who came out of the palace could be called Mammy. And this Aunt Mu came from the palace and was the person placed by King Jin next to the little princess.

Yaoniang didn't know about this at first. As soon as she entered the palace, she was picked on by Cuizhu and Liuchūn. She had too much time to take care of herself, so she had no time to pay attention to such things. It was only after I stayed in the palace for a long time that I realized that the plain-looking Aunt Mu had such an extraordinary identity.

It was precisely because of the existence of Mu Ma that no matter how fiercely the princess and Hu Concubine fought, it never affected the little princess. It was not until then that Yao Niang realized the true meaning of this, or the real intention of the King of Jin.

Because of this cognition, Yao Niang was a little nervous when she saw Mu Ma.

However, Mu Ma did not say anything to them. She just glanced at them and asked them to take them down to settle down.

Now there is only one master in the small courtyard, who is still a baby, and there are not many servants, so the house is extremely spacious.

The little princess lives in the small building, and Mu Ma and Yucui Yuyan live in the east wing. The wet nurses are in the west wing, and the others are in the back house and the back room.

Yao Niang and Cuizhu were arranged in the west wing, one room each, no different from the previous life.

The room is very large, at least not small for Yao Niang's background. The whole room was divided into two by a black lacquer screen embroidered with four seasons flowers. In front was the hall, with a black lacquer carved eight-immortal table and stools of the same color and pattern. Next to the window was a Luohan bed, with two armchairs, a flower table, and a long table.

Beyond the screen was the bedroom, with a lacquer Ruyi cloud pattern frame bed next to the corner, a gauze curtain hanging on the bed, and a wardrobe, a basket, and a washbasin rack. Under the lattice window was a black lacquer carved dressing table, and against the innermost corner was a screen, behind which were toilets and bathtubs.

If such a bedroom was outside, it would also be lived in by rich ladies, but here it was for a servant to live in. The wealth of the palace was indeed jaw-dropping.

However, Yao Niang had seen a lot of wealth in the palace in her previous life, so she didn't feel anything strange.

Yao Niang had just put down her small bag when Lu'e knocked on the door and walked in.

Lu'e was a second-class maid in the small courtyard.

Besides her, the second-class maids include Luchou, Luyao, and Luluo. Above the four greens are Yucui and Yuyan. These two maids with the word "Yu" at the beginning are the big maids around the little princess. Their status is higher than the other two wet nurses. Except for Mu Mama, they are the ones in this small courtyard.

The reason why the wet nurse is rarely lower in status than the maids is that the little princess is still young now. The wet nurse has no other role except feeding, let alone education.

Lu'e was holding a tray with several clothes on it.

Yao Niang hurried forward and Lu'e said, "I am here to send clothes to Su Nanny on the orders of Sister Yuyan. It just happened to be the season change, and there are four sets in total."

"Thank you Miss Lu'e." Yao Niang said.

Lu'e nodded, put down her things, and left.

Chapter 11

Yao Niang looked at the clothes on the table, her eyes full of joy.

She was just worried about having no clothes to wear.

In fact, she brought a few sets of clothes with her when she left home, but she used to like some pink and delicate colors. Now she wanted to avoid attracting attention, so she wanted to wear dark colors, and the four sets of clothes sent were all dark colors.

One was stone blue, one was green, and the other two were autumn fragrance and sandalwood. From the color point of view, it may not be suitable for her age, but it is very suitable for her status. The nurse is here to nurse the child, so there is no need to wear too fancy.

In the previous life, when Yao Niang just arrived at the small courtyard, she was also given these clothes, but she disliked the colors were too ugly, so she picked up her own clothes. It is obviously the same thing, but because of the different moods, the mentality is naturally different, which makes people sigh that things are impermanent.

Yao Niang took the clothes to the screen for an interview. Because they were not tailor-made, they were a little big, but what she wanted now was loose clothes.

Yao Niang simply put on the new clothes and went out.

First, she asked a little girl where she could wash clothes. When she learned that the well in front of the back house could be used, she went back to her room and took the clothes to the back to wash.

Going out of the corner door next to the small building, there is a yard about the same size as the front courtyard. In front is a row of back houses, and on both sides there are utility rooms, kitchens, and some houses for people to live.

There are wooden basins, buckets, and soap nuts for washing clothes in the utility room. These are what Lu Yao told Yao Niang. In fact, Yao Niang knew all these, but she was a little abrupt when she did it without asking.

After getting the things she needed, Yao Niang went to the well, threw the bucket into the well, and drew water from it. She was not strong, so she could only draw half a bucket.

With this half bucket of water, she soaked the clothes she had changed into the wooden basin.

Lu Yao had been watching her silently from the side. Seeing that she really put on the posture of washing clothes, she left without saying a word.
