That night, Wei Changying ordered his servants to pack his things and prepare to move to the rear army as instructed by his husband.
The next day, Shen Zangfeng had official business to attend to, and Wei Changying continued to urge his servants to prepare their luggage. In the meantime, Shen Shuxie knew that he would be leaving Prince Ding's Mansion in the near future. He was having so much fun in the Prince's Mansion and had not yet had time to familiarize himself with all the corners. He felt very disappointed.
But now Wei Changying has no patience to coax him and leaves him to Shen Shuyan to suppress.
But after sending her son away, not long after, Lianju came in again and reported: "Several aunts in the Sixth Master's backyard would like to pay their respects to you, Queen!"
After Wei Changying heard this, he frowned and said: "Sixth brother and sister have not come here, and these people have not served her tea. The word 'aunt' is still not worthy of her. Our family is no better than those small families." , everything must be done according to the rules: even if a concubine enters the house temporarily without the permission of the mistress, you should remember that these people should not be in a hurry to call her 'aunt'!"
Lianju and others heard that she didn't want to see these people, so they all responded and reported again: "Several ladies in the Sixth Master's backyard want to see the queen!"
"Let them come in." Wei Changying said.
Before she came to the imperial capital, she had vaguely heard that Shen Lianshi and Shen Liankun had hired several people to serve as pillow mats in the past two years, and she made up her mind to help her sister-in-law.
Unfortunately, I've only been here for a few days, and I haven't seen all my relatives and friends, so I don't care about it for the time being.
This was the first time I saw the people in Shen Liankun's backyard, but I saw that they were all wearing red and green, and each had their own unique looks. Huo Qingling is considered a beauty, but there are a few among them who are more beautiful than Huo Qingling, and they look charming and seductive.
However, although they are all masters who have the word "concubine" written on their faces, they are very eye-catching.
When he saw Wei Changying, he didn't dare to take a closer look, so he quickly kowtowed and said hello in a sweet voice. Wei Changying called out lightly and asked them what happened.
Everyone thought they had discussed it outside, so they pushed the most beautiful woman to come out and answer the question.
This woman was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was as gorgeous as a dew-covered rose flower. When she opened her mouth, her voice was like flying pearls from a silver basin, sweet, crisp and refreshing.
She also spoke nicely and complimented the Chief of Guards Ying very thoroughly. It was not until she saw that Chief of Guards Ying was getting a little impatient that she did not dare to continue the flattery and said cautiously: "I heard that the queen plans to bring all the gentlemen and ladies with her. The maids also want to move outside the city... and serve the queen."
Wei Changying thought to himself that these people were quick to see opportunities.
Originally, Shen Zangfeng and her had both left, so the palace certainly couldn't just ignore it and had to leave someone to guard it.
However, a palace with a master and a palace without a master are certainly not the same thing. These concubines have not been recognized by the mistress, so they cannot be considered official concubines. They are just serving Shen Liankun on the mat.
In short, their status is a little lower than that of the ambassadors in serious terms. They are not people who serve Shen Zangfeng, the current head of the Shen family. Who has the patience to care about their safety
If they stay in this palace, although they will no longer have the control of Wei Changying, no one will care about their lives... Shen Lunkun has several beauties to serve, but Shen Zangfeng will not care about them. But if he dares to anger the guards who are loyal to the Shen family because of a few beauties, Shen Zangfeng and Shen Lianshi will not let him go... Shen Liankun is very afraid of these two brothers.
So if these people want to be safe, they must follow Wei Zhang Ying.
But... these are just their thoughts.
Considering that many of these people were sent by other families, it was impossible for Guard Chief Ying not to doubt whether they had other purposes in asking them to follow his group to avoid the area where the rear army was stationed.
So he said lightly: "I have no shortage of people to serve me here."
The woman's face turned pale, and just as she was about to continue begging, Wei Changying said again: "I will ask your husband about your matters later."
She doesn't have a good impression of these people, but it's enough to say she hates them. Think about it, most of these people have no choice but to do it. If they were born into a wealthy family, like Shen Shuyan, a lady from a wealthy family, at the age of the woman who came out to answer this question, who would not be surrounded by pearls and emeralds, and the whole family would regard them as jewels
Therefore, when Wei Changying said this, he was not being perfunctory, but he wanted to go back and ask his husband if there was nothing wrong with these people and they could be taken to the rear army, then he could take them there. Although they are not required to serve, it is impossible for them to have more food there.
Unexpectedly, these people have never seen her before, but they have vaguely heard of her reputation - when various families gave away beautiful girls before, among the Shen brothers, Shen Zangfeng, the leader of the clan, was the most stuffed, but Shen Zangfeng was sitting there If the pregnancy is not chaotic, no matter how beautiful the woman is, he will reject them all. On the contrary, Shen Lianshi and Shen Liankun successively recruited many people to serve them.
Because Shen Zangfeng refused to add more people, the guard chief Ying was extremely fierce. Even though Shen Zangfeng was the leader of the Shen clan, had the title of Prince Ding, and commanded a large army... he was still afraid of his wife, and did not dare to even have her thousands of miles away. If you add a pillow person to serve you, it is equivalent to being confirmed.
Although these people were not serving Shen Zangfeng, they still felt trembling in front of Queen Wei, who was rumored to be ruthless and could kill concubines more easily than chickens.
So when they heard Wei Commander Ying's lukewarm words about going to discuss it with Shen Zangfeng, everyone thought she had refused. Who didn't know that Shen Zangfeng was so afraid of her that he had led troops away for a year or two and didn't even dare to accept the news? She was being served by Leng Zhire's people, and she discussed it with Shen Zangfeng? It was enough for her to give Shen Zangfeng the order!
At this moment, these people's faces became very pale.
In this way, Wei Changying also noticed that they seemed to have misunderstood.
However, she relied on her status and felt that there was no need to explain to them, so she put down the tea bowl and signaled to see the guests off.
But this time it drove those people to a dead end -
The woman who was answering on behalf of everyone felt worried, suddenly knelt down again, and said sternly: "My maid has something that I want to report to you alone! I beg you to give me a chance!"
Wei Changying was a little surprised and said, "What is it?"
"My servant can only speak to you alone!" The woman lowered her head and did not dare to look at her, but said firmly.
Wei Changying laughed a little: "I'm very busy here." The implication is of course that he doesn't believe she has any big secrets that he deserves to listen to alone after clearing the place.
The woman gritted her teeth, but in a hurry, she kowtowed and said, "Then please allow me to write down three people for you to see!"
"...Write." Wei Changying stared at her for a moment and felt that she was not lying. He paused slightly and was about to ask someone to bring her a pen and ink. However, the woman turned to her companion and asked for one. Wearing eyebrows, he quickly wrote three words on the handkerchief in his hand. After folding it, he carefully handed it to Lianju.
Wei Changying asked the others to step back, and then asked Lianju to slowly open the handkerchief on the table next to her.
After taking a look, Wei Changying looked down in surprise: "It's interesting... you all get off!"
Lianju was a little worried: "Queen, this lady hasn't been searched yet..."
"It's okay." Wei Changying could tell at a glance that this woman had never practiced martial arts. Although she had been delayed in martial arts in the past few years because she was busy with family matters, she didn't think that such a woman could threaten him.
Seeing her insistence, the servants took the other Ji people and filed away.
At this time, Wei Changying pointed to the words "Mrs. Deng" scrawled on the handkerchief and asked, "Is the Mrs. Deng you are talking about Wanwan who went there not long ago?"
The woman said cautiously: "My servant is of low status and is not worthy of knowing Mrs. Deng's name. This Mrs. Deng is the wife of the Zhou family who passed away not long ago."
"Then what do you know about her?" Wei Changying asked.
"I met you once, my servant." The woman bit her lower lip and said.
Wei Changying frowned and said, "Have you ever met Wanwan? Why is this something that needs to be reported alone?"
"No." The woman hurriedly explained, "The time my servant met her, Mrs. Deng was meeting with someone who seemed to be a man."
"Huh?" Wei Changying's eyes suddenly froze, and his tone became solemn, "Speak carefully!"
"Yes!" The woman saw the change in her attitude and was secretly happy. She hurriedly elaborated, "This servant is originally from Jiangnan. She was bought into the Song family since she was a child... She is your grandfather's Jiangnan Song family. He was only sent to the Song family last year. I came to the Imperial Capital to serve the Sixth Master. When I first came, I often got sick because the palace was not fully built yet, so it was inconvenient for the doctor to visit me, so the Sixth Master once asked me to accompany my servant to the hospital for treatment. "The carriage that was transporting the maid collided with Madam Deng's carriage at the corner of the street. The drivers on both sides quarreled and told each other the identities of the people in the carriage. Only then did the maid know that it was Madam Deng."
Wei Changying frowned and asked, "Then you saw a certain man in the car?"
The woman said: "No, that time the maid just lifted the curtain and saw Mrs. Deng who also lifted the curtain to persuade the coachman to calm down. So when he saw Mrs. Deng for the second time, the maid wrote down the matter, otherwise My maid will not remember this either—that time my maid did not go to seek medical treatment, but... but... "
She blushed for a moment and then said softly, "Master Six's birthday was coming soon, and I wanted to do something nice. I didn't know what to buy, so I asked the coachman to walk around aimlessly. I didn't want to go to a secluded place. Then I saw the door of a small courtyard opened, and a man dressed as a man escorted Mrs. Deng out. The maid looked through a gap in the car curtain. Mrs. Deng didn't notice the maid, so she got into the car with worries... but she saw her off. The man was startled and immediately turned around and closed the door! The maid did not see the man clearly... "
Wei Changying heard the question: "You said... it seems to be a man, and you said it is a man wearing men's clothing?"
The woman understood what she meant and said affirmatively: "My servant feels that that man... looks very much like a woman pretending to be a woman!"
She was afraid that Wei Changying would not believe it, so she took the initiative to explain, "The servant girl was sold into the Song family when she was five years old. She studied singing and dancing in the Song family for ten years. During the training, she was very demanding on every move. Therefore, the subtle differences in the behavior of men and women... The servant girl herself It’s unmistakable—the man who sent Mrs. Deng off is 80% sure to be a woman in disguise!”
"Come here!" Wei Changying nodded and shouted suddenly, "Gather the men!" (To be continued)
