The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(42)
Yao Niang was dreaming when she heard the sound.
She dreamed that a year later, the King of Jin really let her go home and rewarded her with a large sum of silver. She took the silver home and met her sister, brother-in-law, and Xiaobao.
Xiaobao could already walk and call her mother. Yao Niang was very happy and smiled with curved eyes.
Just then someone knocked on the gate of the courtyard. She answered and went to open the door, but saw the King of Jin standing outside the courtyard, holding a little boy who looked very similar to him.
The boy was obviously older than Xiaobao and called her mother. She was shocked and said that she was not his mother, and she gave birth to Xiaobao. The little boy sat on the ground and cried. The King of Jin's face was as black as ink, saying that she had no conscience and actually abandoned them and ran away.
Yao Niang felt very wronged. She was still wondering if this was a trick played by the King of Jin. At this moment, she heard a knock on the door...
Yao Niang woke up from her sleep and broke out in a cold sweat. She was still a little dazed. She looked out the window and saw that it was bright outside.
She didn't care about being dazed anymore and hurried to open the door.
Axia was standing outside the door.
"Mrs. Su, I saw you didn't get up, so I came to call you."
Yao Niang asked hurriedly: "What time is it?"
Axia was stunned and smiled: "It's not time for you to go to work yet. I just saw that you didn't go to breakfast, so I came to call you."
Yao Niang immediately let out a sigh of relief: "I slept late last night and forgot the time."
Axia looked at her: "No wonder, I saw your eyes were red. By the way, what's wrong with your mouth?"
Yao Niang subconsciously touched her lips, and the touch was obviously different from usual, and there was a slight sting. She smiled to cover up and said, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it. It might be a mosquito bite. It hurts a little." As she said that, she rubbed her lips, "I won't tell you anymore. I have to pack up quickly, otherwise I'll be late for work later."
Axia nodded: "Okay, I'll bring you breakfast." Then, she didn't give Yao Niang a chance to refuse, and she ran away.
Yao Niang laughed and shook her head, and went back to the house.
She went to the mirror. The woman in the mirror had a lazy look on her face. At first glance, it was not obvious, but if you looked closely, you could see the chūn color in the corners of her eyes. The eye circles were slightly red, and the lips were swollen, making her look more and more delicate and voluptuous, wishing someone could bite her.
Yao Niang rubbed her face and went behind the screen.
Because the weather was hot and it was inconvenient to use water at night, Yao Niang liked to put two wooden barrels in the room. One wooden barrel with a lid was filled with water, and the other was filled with sewage, which was changed every day. Yao Niang opened the wooden barrel, and there was still half a bucket of water left in it, so she scooped it into the basin with a ladle to wash.
Fortunately, there was water in the room, otherwise Yao Niang would not know what to do in the past two nights. She couldn't go to the room to fetch water in the middle of the night to wash, which would make her very uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Yao Niang thought of what she found last night, and her face flushed. She could feel how hot her face was when she touched it.
After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Yao Niang went to the dressing table to comb her hair. She held her thick black hair in her hands and coiled it, and finally tied it into a bun on the back of her head and fixed it with a wooden hairpin. She originally wanted to do bangs, but thought it was too troublesome. At that time, she didn't want to attract attention. Now that everything that should have happened has happened, it seems that there is nothing to hide.
Yao Niang had just combed her hair when A Xia came in with a tray.
Breakfast was simple, white rice porridge and mushroom and vegetable buns, as well as a plate of pickles and stir-fried vegetables.
Yao Niang thanked A Xia.
Axia looked at her in surprise: "Mrs. Su, didn't you realize you're so pretty?"
Yao Niang touched her face subconsciously and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Really? How come I didn't realize it?"
Axia nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I think you shouldn't do that bangs in the future, it really makes you look not so good." It's even a little ugly, which Axia was embarrassed to say.
"So it's like this, I didn't pay attention, I won't do it in the future."
After that, Axia said a few more words to her before leaving.
Yao Niang came to the table to eat breakfast.
She ate very quickly because she didn't have much time, and she was also very hungry, so she finished eating in a few bites. She cleaned up the table, sent the dishes to the small kitchen, and then went to the small building.
She was still a little late when she arrived, but no one said anything. Yao Niang has always been diligent. Everyone has seen it these days, and naturally they won't have any opinions about her because she is occasionally late.
Nanny Qian and Nanny Wang left soon, leaving Yaoniang and Yuyan and Yucui. During this time, Yuyan went out for something, so she and Yucui were the only ones left.
At this time, Luyao came in and said, "General Manager Fu is here."
As she spoke, Fucheng came in. He came to visit the little princess on behalf of Prince Jin.
Yucui didn't think much about it, because the prince hadn't come for a few days, and only Yaoniang was worried, afraid that Fucheng would say something. After all, she also heard the noise outside the day before yesterday, and knew that Fucheng had been waiting outside when Prince Jin came that day. So she was particularly guilty when facing Fucheng.
Who knew that Fucheng really came to see the little princess this time, and asked about how much the little princess ate and how well she slept, so Yaoniang was relieved.
Fucheng asked Yucui to pour him a cup of tea. After Yucui went out, he looked at Yaoniang with a smile and said, "Nanny Su, the prince asked me to give you something."
As he said that, he took out a small porcelain jar from his sleeve.
"This medicine is great for treating external injuries. It can be applied to the mouth and swallowed."
Yao Niang's face was red and she was too embarrassed to even raise her head. She took it and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fu."
Fucheng looked at her, the more he looked at her, the more he liked her, and he said with a smile: "If you don't thank me, then we will leave."
Fucheng went outside and happened to meet Yucui coming with tea.
"Mr. Fu, your tea."
"No more drinking, we have things to do at home."
Yu Cui came in with tea and said to Yao Niang: "This is the same with Mr. Fu. Why did he leave without even drinking a cup of tea?"
Yao Niang's eyes flickered, she touched the small porcelain jar in her sleeve uncomfortably, and said nothing.
In the meantime, Yao Niang found time to go back to her room and took out the small porcelain jar from her sleeve.
The small porcelain jar is pink-white in color, and the glaze on the jar has very fine slits. The texture is like jade, very delicate. After opening it, there was a green and translucent paste inside. Yao Niang dipped some of it with her fingers and rubbed it on the back of her hand. It was moist, cool and very comfortable.
She unbuttoned her clothes, bit her lower lip, and then endured her shyness and applied some on two points. Suddenly, the burning and tingling sensation disappeared. Yesterday he was so greedy that he was sucked to death.
After rubbing some on several places on her body, Yao Niang went to untie her skirt again. Looking at the red marks on both sides, she blushed and applied medicine on them. After applying it, he hurriedly put on his clothes and finally wiped some on his lips.
I hope he doesn't come again tonight, otherwise she won't be able to bear it anymore.
The Yao family located in Huaishu Hutong, Linyun County, is filled with sorrow at this time.
In the west wing, Li's scolding could be heard from time to time.
Because Mrs. Li suppressed her voice, it sounded a little unclear from the outside, but Hui Niang knew what her mother-in-law was scolding without having to listen.
The unmarried Sister Yan was secretly pregnant with a baby girl. Whenever she thought of this, Hui Niang felt an inexplicable joy.
It's not that she takes pleasure in others' misfortune, but that whenever she thinks of her sister who went to Jincheng, she can't help but hate her. She hated Mrs. Li and Sister Yan, especially after Yao Niang left. Sister Yan encouraged Mr. Li to ask Yao Cheng to propose marriage to Chen An's family. Hui Niang finally understood why her mother-in-law had been trying to drive her sister away a while ago.
So you should suffer the consequences.
The Chen An family did not agree to the marriage, and Sister Yan was ruined by a black boy. The Feng family also came to propose marriage, but the Li family did not agree, because they thought the Feng family was poor, and they thought the Feng family had a widow. Anyway, they just disliked her in various ways. Sister Yan also doesn't want to get married. Mother and daughter are in control of each other.
Huiniang usually looks on with cold eyes, but she can't help but complain in her heart. You can despise it, but the key is that your daughter can despise it? If you can, dominate Sister Yan and let her live at home and never get married.
Thinking of this, Huiniang stood up and went out to the west wing.
As soon as Huiniang arrived, Mrs. Li stopped scolding her. In fact, she was not ignorant of ugliness. She always acted like a mother-in-law in front of her daughter-in-law, so how could Hui Niang look down on her?
Hui Niang looked at Sister Yan who was sitting on a chair with a smile in her eyes, unable to lift her head after being scolded by Mrs. Li.
"Sister Yan, don't tell me what your sister-in-law said about you. You are not in a stubborn situation now. You are already having someone else's child. Are you planning to marry into the Chen family?" The key is that people want you. Huiniang didn't say this. In fact, from the bottom of her heart, she felt that Chen An was quite suitable for her sister, but it was a pity that she was ruined by this vicious girl.
Huiniang's words undoubtedly stabbed Sister Yan's heart with a knife, and she immediately covered her face and started crying.
Mrs. Li has always taken care of her shortcomings, so how could she endure Hui Niang trying to squeeze her daughter? She jumped three feet high: "Su Huiniang, I'm telling you, don't try to squeeze Sister Yan..."
Hui Niang interrupted her: "Mom, you are really overthinking it. Why am I squeezing her, and no one gives me any money?"
This remark that no one gave her money was something Li always kept on her lips. When Madam Hui said it at this time, it seemed like she was ridiculing her.
But before Mrs. Li could scold her, Hui Niang said again: "Mother, you always say that Yao Niang has no shame, has a secret knot in her pearls, and got a wild kid from nowhere, ruining the family tradition of the Yao family. Don't say goodbye. He said that it would not be nice to have a baby before marriage, so don’t insist on not marrying Sister Yan to the Feng family. Don’t forget that although Brother Cheng is a small class leader, he is still in our county. She is quite respectable. Brother Ming is not young anymore. He will go to a private school in two years. Your two eldest grandsons are the pillars of our old Yao family. If people know that there is such an aunt..."
