At this moment, the concubines suddenly came to their senses from their stunned silence and hurriedly presented gifts to Mo Xuetong, each of them on guard!
Mo Xuetong was not polite and said with a slight smile: "I invite you all to come today just to meet you. Although I am young now, I am in charge of this backyard and cannot ignore your affairs. Although the prince has asked me to You are not allowed to come out of the courtyard behind Anju, but I thought it would be better to let them out. Although you are not the official concubines of the prince, in general, you can be regarded as the concubines of the mansion."
In one sentence, the status of those concubines was equated to that of ordinary maids, and many of them suddenly quit. Although most of them were not high-status, they were not just maids. Some of them were from official families. There was even a Qin Ji who came from a big family.
"Princess, my father and Mr. Mo used to be colleagues. It was only later that Mr. Mo prospered in officialdom and won the favor of the emperor, so he was promoted to the third rank. Now that I think about it, before I married the prince, I dated the princess's eldest sister. Yes, we can be considered good friends."
Yun Ji put a smile on her face. She took two steps forward and smiled at Mo Xuetong. She meant to slap Mo Xuetong. At the same time, she also told Mo Xuetong that her father used to be of the same rank as Mo Hua as a civil servant, and his position was also the same. Not bad, I have also dated the eldest daughter of the Mo family. She is a noble person in every aspect. The identity of the maid of the first wife really cannot fall on her. There must be a formal one. Only the title is appropriate.
"No, Miss Mo is still a very talented woman. She had a good relationship with me in the past. I wonder how Miss Mo is doing now. Is she marrying a better husband, but she has forgotten her past girlfriend? Sister." Another one came up to try to make friends, this was a pretty woman named Ming Ji, with a gentle and harmless smile on her face.
It seemed like it was really just a casual mention!
Mo Xuemin is just the eldest daughter of Mo Huawen. Although these concubines usually have contact with the outside world, they only talk about things that are closely related to them. How can they talk about these things? Moreover, these people can contact people outside. They were all doing it secretly and talking about serious business, so although Mo Xuemin's incident was a big deal, no one in the house knew about it.
Seeing that Mo Xuetong didn't speak for a while, she was still complacent, so she took out Mo Xuetong's sister and suppressed her to see if she had anything else to say.
When Mo Huawen came to Beijing, he brought Mo Xuemin and Mo Xueqiong with him. At that time, Aunt Fang was in charge of the back garden of Mo Mansion. She and Mo Xuemin were the ones who welcomed guests in Mo Mansion, so some of the family members of the government thought that Aunt Fang was... Mo Huawen's first wife, Mo Xuemin, is of course the well-deserved eldest daughter, and her status is naturally much more noble than that of Mo Xuetong, the second daughter.
What two idiots, Mo Yu pouted behind Mo Xuetong, the mockery in his eyes obvious!
It's so stupid to use Mo Xuemin to pressure the princess!
Mo Xuetong didn't seem to hear the meaning of Yun Ji and Ming Ji's words, and her smile became sweeter. She looked at them meaningfully, ignored them, and said to the other concubines: "Yesterday, the prince also said I was told to record you all in the book, and you will be considered as a formal member of our house. From now on, the monthly schedule will be the same as that of the maids who live in the same house, so that you will not be wronged by this one or that one."
This sounds like something that should be done to formally manage the backyard, but she kept talking about the maids, which made the concubines secretly hate each other. They thought that no matter what happened this time, the identity of the aunt would always be determined, but unexpectedly... It's all about the maids who live in the same house. How could those people do it
When Mo Xuetong finished speaking, the first person to attack was the timid Lian Ji,
She glanced at Mo Xuetong, looking a little nervous, and said timidly: "Princess, how can this happen? We can't even support ourselves with the monthly payment for the marriage, let alone the money to buy rouge. Gouache, new clothes, so that the prince will be happy to see them, princess, can’t you add some more monthly items?”
Lian Ji's words seemed to be about fighting for monthly status, but in fact, she was fighting for status.
Lian Ji had already made up her mind. Of course she couldn't win against Mo Xuetong directly, so she had to take a roundabout way. Although the maid who was the first wife was inconspicuous, she was actually the master's woman. If she was promoted higher, But she's just an aunt, she's officially a concubine. As long as she has a basic title, I don't believe she can't compete with a little girl who hasn't fully grown yet.
Mo Xuetong's watery eyes fell on Lian Ji and smiled slightly. It seemed that this person was difficult to deal with. Her words were extremely tactful, but her purpose was obvious. Those eyes looked delicate, but in fact they were not begging at all. , she seemed very smart to be able to take advantage of such an occasion to speak first, but it was a pity that she wanted to use so many people to push herself. She was in vain to be a villain today.
"Princess, the prince once told me that if I lack anything, I can just ask the housekeeper for it. Is it possible that the palace cannot afford to support us girls? What the princess did, it seems that the money in the palace has become so tight. Isn’t it now that we, the prince’s women, can’t even support us?”
Yun Ji was another type. She pointed directly at Mo Xuetong's nose. Not only did she show no respect at all, but she also spoke loudly in a loud voice.
"Princess, isn't this the truth?" Ming Ji immediately took up the conversation. She was also favored by Feng Juoran before, but just now she was ignored by Mo Xuetong. Seeing what Yun Ji said so directly, Mo Xuetong He was not angry, and immediately became rude, "When the prince was in charge, the prince in the backyard said that we could go and play with us. If we wanted to eat, play, or use whatever we wanted, it was not a matter of just one sentence. How could the princess Your Majesty just took over, and she forced us like this, does she really want to destroy us all?"
This is not the main concubine. The side concubines who went to the royal family for dinner also said that they were useless. Mo Yu and others behind Mo Xuetong twitched when they heard this, secretly thinking that these concubines are not economical lamps after all. , one after another, they secretly bullied the princess in their words. They were all mean and harsh, and their words were even more aggressive. If it were another princess, they would have been frightened today.
It's a pity that they met their own princess today, so they were destined to not get any benefits.
Hearing Ming Ji say this, Lian Ji became sad. Her tears fell down one by one as if they were free of money. She wiped away her tears and said weakly: "Princess, what all the sisters said is true. Princess It's normal for me to want to save some money when I first take charge of the backyard. However, I have been in poor health. If the prince hadn't taken great care of me and allowed me to use ginseng and other precious medicinal materials, I might not have been able to see the princess. … These are all things that cost too much money. If the princess, the princess really wants to set a monthly schedule for the marriage, concubine, concubine… "
She couldn't stop talking, covered her sleeves and cried in pain.
That meant that if Mo Xuetong gave her a monthly plan for a roommate, she would have no money for medical treatment and would be dead.
Mo Lan stood behind Mo Xuetong and couldn't help but frown, secretly thinking that these concubines are too ambitious and are deliberately trying to stir up trouble. If they fall short of the princess today, they can bargain for anything in the future. And if someone cries, makes trouble, and hangs herself again, the princess will not be able to do anything she wants.

Mo Xuetong picked up the teacup with celadon flowers, used the lid to froth a little, as if she didn't hear what the concubines said, she took a sip slowly, then put down the teacup, and waited for them to finish talking, the hall room She became strangely quiet, then curved her lips and smiled softly, looking at the concubines: "What if I must do this? Do you still want to resist?"
These words are a bit harsh, and she still directly uses her power to suppress others. In a word, she is Princess Xuan, and she wants to do this. What's wrong
The concubines who spoke loudest just now had their faces turned blue and white for a while. They looked at Mo Xuetong in astonishment. They didn't understand why it was so hard to say now that they looked easy to talk just now. Could it be that this person is still a powerful person, but It doesn't look like him at all, that elegant and beautiful little face looks more like a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks and food from the world. How can I understand the rules and regulations behind this.
Mo Xuetong said again: "Although I am still young, I still know the rules of the palace. Those rouge bracelets and the like are all distributed according to grade. You don't need to spend money at all. The clothes in the palace are all in various seasons." I know how to do it, and I will not treat you badly when I am in charge of this backyard. As for these five taels of silver a month, why is it not enough?"
Prince Xuan's house paid five taels of silver to the maid in the same house, which was already considered too much, and some other aunts only paid this price.
After saying this, Yun Ji and the others turned pale and were somewhat speechless.
"As for Lianji, don't worry too much. I have already consulted the doctor. It's just that my foundation is not good enough. If you pay more attention, you don't need too much decoction. This is not beautiful. It is a poisonous medicine. Even if you are not sick, eating will make you sick, so Lian Ji would be better off drinking less."
Lian Ji's body was actually fine. She was just trying to win favor by deliberately displaying a sickly attitude. She didn't just want to impress Feng Jue. Now that Mo Xuetong had exposed her, how could she dare to do more? No matter what, he just coughed with all his heart and pretended to be sick wholeheartedly, showing that he really couldn't do it.
They glanced secretly at a person in the corner, hinting that that person could come out. If he didn't come out, they wouldn't be able to stop him.
"The princess's eldest sister is a person who understands etiquette, is gentle and kind, and treats people sincerely. She is also a famous talented woman in the capital, and can be regarded as a very prestigious young lady. How come the princess is completely different from Miss Mo and treats us so harshly? , Thinking of me as the legitimate daughter of the noble Lord Marquis, is it possible that she is not even a concubine?" A cold snort came from the corner.
A woman walked out from behind the concubines. This woman was as elegant as jade, with a graceful look on her beautiful face. It was obvious at first glance that she was of extraordinary origin. It turned out that this was the Qin Concubine that Feng Juoran was fooling around at that time and brought in from outside the house. , Mo Xuetong instantly understood her identity.
Speaking of this, Qin Ji is really the daughter of Marquis Wanping. She is a step ahead of Mo Xuetong in terms of status and status. She comes from a Yungui family and is exceptionally noble. I heard that this Qin Ji is not only taller but also very noble. She was beautiful, and had good literary talent. She was also a close friend of the fifth princess at that time, so she was a proud girl.
It was this proud girl who deliberately ridiculed Feng Jueran when Feng Juoran attended the banquet for the first time. The young and energetic Feng Jueran was so angry that he threw this proud girl to her as a prank. After entering the river, he waited until she was frightened half to death, then reached out and pulled her to the shore. I wonder if it was because she had been soaked in the water for a long time, but the coat was torn off like this.
There were more than one people who saw it at that time. After Emperor Zongwen scolded Feng Jueran, he asked Marquis Wanping to send Qin Ji in a small sedan chair to Feng Jueran's Prince Xuan Mansion. At that time, Concubine Ji in the manor They are all nameless, and they only say that they will not mention concubines until they have a wife. (To be continued)
