In a few more days.
Even though Nanyuan was looking forward to it every night, Ji Yang still slept in Wangfei's courtyard every day, and didn't sleep in the study room, and came back many nights.
Ling Yu is also used to waiting for him.
"Miss, you and the prince..." Madam Xu endured for two days, but still couldn't help asking, with a worried expression on her face, "I heard from Dongxiang and Xia He that they didn't call for water at night. This... this old slave didn't talk to you last time." explain… "
"Nurse!" Ling Yu blushed suddenly, and hastily interrupted the other party, "It's nothing, the prince and I have nothing."
Now it was Madam Xu's turn to be stunned, "You and the prince have been sleeping together for a few days, and nothing happened?"
Even though she lived such an old age, she never encountered such a thing, so she hurriedly called Dongxiang Xiahe who had been watching the night for the past two days, and asked her carefully.
Both of them shook their heads, "Go back to Nanny, there is no movement in the house, and I have never heard any unusual voice from Miss."
Although they vaguely guessed, the two of them were younger than Ling Yu, and they knew very little about many things, and they were ignorant, so they would answer what Mammy Xu asked.
"Nurse." Ling Yu had no choice but to stop her. Before she got married, the nanny in the palace specially came to talk to her about some things. Of course she understood, but it didn't mean she wasn't shy.
If it is said that Ji Yang and Ji Yang have slept peacefully under the quilt these few days, would anyone believe it
If I have to say something, it is that Ji Yang is a bit dishonest when she sleeps at night, she seems to like hugging people, and she gets hugged when she wakes up these few days.
This person's self-esteem is still very strong, she can't show dislike, let alone dislike, and she has to pretend to be very natural.
The first time is raw and the second time is familiar, just hug it.
If she didn't fall asleep and was hugged that night, she would not change her expression and find a comfortable position in his arms, and then wake up until dawn, and wake up the next day to help him wash and change his clothes.
Nanny Xu also continued to talk, but instead drove all the maids out, quickly walked over to close the door, and walked to Ling Yu's side, with a serious face, "Miss, is the prince normal?"
Ling Yu knew what she was asking, and lowered her head, feeling even more shy.
How do people answer this
"There are no concubines in the mansion, and the two singers have never spent the night with the prince, let alone the maids. Now the prince and the young lady have lived together for several days, and nothing happened." Madam Xu had to think about it.
Hearing what she said, Ling Yu also knew the seriousness of the matter, so her expression changed, and she couldn't speak, "I... I don't know, my lord, I didn't show anything else."
Thinking of Ji Yang's lack of interest, her expression became more complicated.
When Xu Momo saw it, she knew something about it, and her body felt weak, "Miss..."
If such a thing happened to the prince, the royal family would definitely cover it up. At that time, Ling Yu would be the one who would be criticized. If the concubine would not be able to give birth, in order to maintain their dignity, they might be allowed to have other people's children in order to preserve their reputation.
Being told by Madam Xu, Ling Yu had to think about it, it was completely different from what Madam Xu said, and Ji Yang didn't show any interest in that aspect either.
"This matter is only my mother's guess, and it must not be spread indiscriminately. The prince has been helping the emperor to review the memorials and manage the government these days, so naturally he has no other energy." Ling Yu calmed down and spoke slightly.
After Madam Xu went out, she sat on the table alone, staring at Yi Chu, in a daze for a long time.
Ji Yang...
She thought that two years ago, he was seriously injured and stabbed twice in the stomach, would it have any effect
Moreover, if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have been stabbed again. Thinking of this, Ling Yu felt very guilty, her thoughts were disturbed, she stood up and walked out.
"Dongxiang!"
"Miss." The maid put down the broom and hurried over.
"Take out the bird's nest that the prince brought last time, and send it to the kitchen." Ling Yu ordered, and then said, "Has the prince returned?"
"Miss Hui, the prince and Ji Chun have just returned from the palace and are going to the study." Dong Xiang replied.
"Well, follow me to the kitchen." Ling Yu nodded and walked to the right.
After a stick of incense.
Ling Yu walked in front, Xia He and Dong Xiang walked behind, carrying bird's nest and a few plates of pastries, they walked towards the study.
"Miss, I heard from Ji Chun that although my lord doesn't like sweets very much, he has a special liking for rose glutinous rice cakes. He will definitely like them when I send them over." Xia He said with a smile.
The cakes on the plate are fragrant and rose-shaped, and a layer of ground peanuts mixed with powdered sugar is carefully sprinkled on top, which will make them more articulate and fragrant.
"Miss did it herself." Dongxiang also laughed.
"You two, are you really the same age? Even I dare to make fun of you now?" Ling Yu pretended to be serious, stopped and turned to look at the two of them.
This is when she regained her courage to deliver food to Ji Yang. The last time she sent it there to ease the relationship, she was thrown out by someone, and she was still a bit shadowed.
"I don't dare." Xia He was a little more courageous, and said "Don't dare" on his mouth, before the end sound disappeared, he laughed again, causing Dong Xiang to laugh too, "The prince will definitely eat up his face."
Ever since the prince even slept in Ling Yu's place, they felt the most changes. The maids in the courtyard did not dare to gossip, and no one dared to chew their tongues anymore.
These maidservants from the Prime Minister's Mansion have a bit of authority in their speech, unlike before, they still have to be ridiculed in a strange way, and they feel that Ling Yu will be a concubine sooner or later.
"Okay." Ling Yu felt that their words were getting more and more outrageous, so she quickly stopped them.
"Miss, are you shy?" Xia He looked at her, "Miss, your face is blushing."
The two of them have served her since they were young, and grew up with her. They are different from ordinary maids. They would make some small jokes when no one was around, and then laughed after they finished talking.
Ling Yu turned around and continued to walk along the cobblestone path, slightly raising her voice, "Follow me quickly, the pastry will be cold and won't taste good, I can't spare you!"
"Yes, the servant knows."
The two still smiled, looked at each other and laughed twice.
The young lady of their family has a good temper, so she won't punish them.
Not far ahead.
"Who is laughing wantonly in front? The maids in the mansion have no rules." Du Jiaoer was holding a round fan, and was fanning it again and again, twisting her small waist that was tightly grasped and walking forward.
Her dress has always been flamboyant, today she is wearing a long light purple dress with long skirts floating around, her figure is uneven, with four or five hairpins on her head, and a crystal necklace around her neck, which looks luxurious and high-profile.
With this look, I can't wait to wear all my jewelry on my body.
"That's right." The servant girl who was following her pursed her lips and agreed.
"Go and have a look." Du Jiaoer continued to shake her fan, raised her feet and walked forward.
Turning a corner, she collided with the three people in front of her and walked towards her, unable to hide. Du Jiaoer still curled her lips, admiring the scenery of the mansion.
When she met the person in front of her, she only felt that her status was not low at first. When her eyes fell on Ling Yu, she kept looking at him, and she didn't react.
"Bold! You don't kneel down when you see the concubine!" Xia He scolded.
When Du Jiaoer heard this, her expression changed suddenly, and the maid beside her also pulled her, and the two hurriedly knelt down, "Join the princess."
Although Ling Yu is not favored, she is still a princess, she is not even considered a concubine now.
"Who are you?" Looking at her face, Ling Yu already had an answer in her heart, "Raise your head."
Du Jiaoer slowly raised her head and met Ling Yu.
In the past, she only heard that the princess was beautiful from other people's mouths, but now she saw it with her own eyes, she was indeed beautiful and elegant. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was still amazed when she saw the other party for the first time.
Ling Yu dressed in a low-key dress, wearing a light smoky green long dress, simple and elegant, with high black hair, a pearl hairpin inserted, and a few strands of hair hanging down.
She has curved willow eyebrows, a high nose bridge, impeccable facial features and a beautiful outline, her skin is creamy, white with pink in it, and there seems to be a gentle smile on her mouth all the time, dignified and generous.
It gives the impression that a lady from a famous family is gentle and kind.
"Sister Du Jiaoer."
"Bold, what are you? You are just a concubine, and you dare to call the concubine a sister." Xia He saw that she was the singer brought back by Ji Yang, and she dared to be so arrogant, and her words became severe.
"Forgive me, my concubine. The servants and concubines just came to the palace. They don't know the rules of the palace. They also call the other sisters in the palace that way. I think it's more intimate." Du Jiaoer lowered her head. .
"you!"
"Xia He." Ling Yu scolded lightly, and cast her a slight look in his eyes, "Get up."
"Thank you sister." Du Jiaoer stood up quickly, looked at the food in the hands of the two maids, and said with a smile, "Sister, are you going to deliver food to the prince?"
To be honest, she didn't have much fear of Ling Yu.
Ji Yang dotes on her the most, and even makes her a side concubine, why is he afraid of an unfavorable princess? The other party still doesn't dare to do anything to her now. Thinking about it this way, combined with what she heard in the mansion these days, she became more daring.
Ling Yu ignored her and walked forward.
"Sister, my sister is also going to look for the lord, so why not go with my sister?" Du Jiaoer asked in words, but in fact she had already followed, beside Ling Yu.
Recently, she was also looking for Ji Yang, but his itinerary was uncertain, so it was difficult to meet him by chance. Moreover, since he came back from the palace that day, he had rested in the other's courtyard for several days, but he didn't consummate the house. I'm afraid he was dealing with the Queen Mother.
Ling Yu didn't answer her, but Du Jiaoer didn't stop her mouth. She looked at the pastry, turned her eyes in another direction, and said with a smile, "What did my sister cook today? My lord likes white fungus porridge the most. There is viscous mung bean soup, as for supplements, my sister knows some, and I can share it with my sister.”
As she was talking, Ling Yu turned into the path, and Xia He and Dong Xiang followed her directly, completely blocking Du Jiaoer's way, and she was forced to follow behind.
But she was not annoyed, instead, the corner of her mouth revealed a hint of complacency. Is Ling Yu ignoring her
He didn't dare to punish her or do anything to her.
She followed behind, all the way to Xiyuan's study.
The guards saluted Ling Yu first, and when Xia He stepped forward, they stretched out their hands to stop her, and she said, "The princess wants to bring in some food for the prince, please let me know."
"Princess forgive me, the lord has ordered that no one should disturb you." The guard replied.
Hearing this, Ling Yu frowned slightly.
"Just let me know, the princess is not someone else, what if the lord agrees?" Xia He caught a glimpse of Du Jiaoer watching the play, and felt a little unwilling.
She couldn't believe it!
Du Jiao Er evoked a contemptuous smile.
Let her speak.
The last time the prince threw out all the pastries that Ling Yu sent, and even said that he would give them to the dogs, telling her to go away quickly, did they forget about this
Isn't one embarrassing enough
In the past two days, some people in the mansion have said that the princess is going to be favored again, and in her opinion, she will never be able to be favored again.
"You can't report to a lowly position." The guard refused again, without any wavering, "Anyone is not allowed, this is the rule set by the prince."
Ling Yu didn't know if it was a rule, but at this time her disappointment was real. She had been here before and sent snacks to ease the relationship, but she was rejected in the end. Only later did she know that it was aimed at her.
She thought their relationship had eased a bit, but it seemed that she was overthinking again.
The humiliating scene reappeared in his mind again, and his hurtful words came over and over again.
"you… "
"Xia He." Ling Yu interrupted her, took a deep breath, and looked at the guards, "When the prince finishes his work, please let me know that my concubine will come back later."
She also wanted to get along more because of guilt, so why should she seek humiliation if the other party is like this
"Humble post obeys orders."
Ling Yu turned and left.
"Miss." Xia He still wanted to fight, so she ran over to persuade her, but they were blocked by Du Jiaoer. She looked at Ling Yu with a smile on her face, "Sister, since you want to go back, why don't you let me go?" Give the pastry to my younger sister, and my younger sister will wait for the prince to finish his work here, and then I will send it to the prince. Don't worry, my sister will never take the credit from my sister, and I will tell the prince that the pastry was sent by my sister."
How to say it is her business.
Ling Yu squinted at her, and frowned a little more. Xia He was impatient, and scolded directly, "Why?"
"My younger sister is just helping my elder sister to share her worries. She has absolutely no other intentions. She just wants to serve the lord well." Du Jiaoer said that she was neither humble nor overbearing, and she even gave the maid next to her a wink.
"Two sisters, give them to me." The maid beside Du Jiaoer stepped up and served them without saying a word.
Dong Xiang and Xia He were not easy to provoke either, so they fought directly.
You come and go, that girl must get it again, with a strong hand, with a "bang", the ceramic pot fell to the ground and made a loud noise.
"Princess forgive me."
"Princess forgive me."
The three servant girls were all pale with fright, and even Du Jiaoer's face froze, she turned around and scolded her servant girl, "What are you doing? Slap your mouth!"
In front of the study door, she didn't dare to speak loudly, she was at fault for this matter, Ji Yang must never know about it.
"My servant is wrong, my servant deserves to die, my servant deserves to die..." The servant girl said very well, and began to slap herself.
"Sister, it's because my maid is ignorant. I am also responsible for this matter." Du Jiaoer looked at Ling Yu in a low voice, thinking that Ling Yu had no confidence and looked delicate. What about her.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yu suddenly said lightly, "In that case, you should slap yourself ten times."
Du Jiaoer suspected that she had heard wrong.
"What? Do you need someone else to help you?" Ling Yu looked at Xia He, "Then you go and help her."
"Your servant obeys." Xia He got up immediately, rolled up her sleeves, and gave a resounding slap when she shook her hand.
"Crack." A sound.
Very crisp, accompanied by Du Jiaoer's uncontrollable screams.
Xia He felt comfortable physically and mentally, and slapped her backhand again.
Five finger prints quickly appeared on Du Jiaoer's face, all hairpins fell to the ground, her hair was messed up, Xia He wanted to hit her, but she had already dodged, "Sister!"
"Continue!" Ling Yu's voice was stern, and she shot Du Jiaoer with knife-sharp eyes without mercy.
Panic appeared in Du Jiaoer's eyes, but the door of the study opened. Ji Yang's eyes were filled with anger, and his voice was sharp, "What are you doing? What is this place?"
Everyone stopped their movements, and the servant girls lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.
Du Jiaoer burst into tears at this time, the pear blossoms were raining, if it wasn't for the swollen face like a pig's head, she might look better, she stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, looked pitifully at Ji Yang, mourning, "My lord , it's all Jiao'er's fault, regardless of her sister's affairs, Jiao'er is willing to accept punishment."
"Who are you?" Ji Yang walked down and looked at her, "So ugly? The maid sent by the queen mother"
Following Du Jiaoer's petrification, the air froze for a moment, and the rest of them wanted to laugh.
Ling Yu was ready to be reprimanded by him, but she didn't know that he didn't respond to this sentence suddenly.
"I'm Jiaoer." Du Jiaoer couldn't accept it, and walked towards Ji Yang with her pig's head on her head, "My lord, have you forgotten what you said to me that night?"
He wants to make her a side concubine and let her give birth to the eldest son.
"Ugly girl, don't come here." Ji Yang pointed at her, and said with a sullen face, "Come closer, I will cut off your head!"
Du Jiaoer was so frightened that she stopped crying, she stood there and looked at him with tears in her eyes, crying uncontrollably, "My lord..."
"Princess." Ji Yang frowned, already very displeased, "You have to go far away when you teach the servant girl, I am reviewing the memorial, why are you still arguing here?"
"Is it a concubine or not, I have disturbed the prince." Ling Yu stooped and admitted her mistake directly.
"What's going on here?" Ji Yang looked at the bird's nest splashed all over the ground, his face was even more ugly.
"My lord has been busy with official duties recently, and I am worried about my health. The bird's nest I gave me that day was delicious, so I wanted to stew some for my lord, and I even made some snacks, but I was pushed down by this maid. It's a pity. Bird's nest." Ling Yu said slowly.
"What?" Ji Yang's expression changed suddenly.
"I know I was wrong, I deserve to die." The servant girl kowtowed all the time.
"Do you know that this is a tribute? How many lives do you have to pay?" Ji Yang's cold words escaped from between his lips and teeth.
Hearing this, the servant girl was so frightened that her hands and feet trembled, she knelt to pull Du Jiaoer, "Miss, save Xiaoya, you save Xiaoya, but Xiaoya listened to you..."
"It's better to be wrong than to be wrong? Do you think it's on me?" Du Jiaoer hastily interrupted her, and said loudly, "You actually dare to fight for the princess's bird's nest, do you know that this is a capital offense?"
After finishing speaking, he knelt down and looked at Ji Yang again, "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine's sister. Since it was the fault of Jiao'er's maidservant, Jiao'er will never cover it up, and Jiao'er also made a mistake. I will punish the prince." .”
"You're really ugly, it's affecting my mood too much, so let's go to the dungeon with her." Ji Yang gave an order without even thinking about it.
