After eating, there is nothing to do.
The two came to Dongci room together again. King Jin went to take a bath and changed his clothes, and then came out and half leaned on the Arhat bed to read a book. Feeling cramped, Yaoniang went to find a half-made dress for Xiaobao and sewed it in her hand.
The lighting is soft, and the silence is very quiet. From time to time, the sound of King Jin turning the pages of the book can be heard.
King Jin half-raised his eyelids and looked at her sitting under the lamp, earnestly and meticulously. What the women do to pass the time in their spare time is a blank for King Jin. Inexplicably, he thought it was good for her, if only the clothes in his hand were not from that peddler's bastard.
He cleared his throat: "What are you sewing?"
Yaoniang didn't expect him to ask such a question, and subconsciously replied: "I'm making clothes for Xiaobao." She seemed to know that he didn't want to see Xiaobao, and when it came to the end, her voice was a little soft.
The King of Jin was displeased at first, but when he saw her drooping brows and eyes, he almost blurted out the words in his throat, and changed the saying: "The concubine should put the husband first, and you give the king Make two bodies..." After a pause, "Do it for that brat."
Hearing King Jin describe Xiaobao as a brat, Yaoniang was a little reluctant, "He is not called a brat, but a famous one is called Xiaobao."
The king of Jin snorted, intending that the adults would ignore the faults of the villains. He is a majestic king, and he has no measure to deal with a little brat. Couldn't help but turn his eyes around Yaoniang's belly, and then turned back to her face: "Let's rest."
Yaoniang hurriedly put away the needle and thread in her hand and stood up.
After standing up, I realized that my movements were too hasty, as if I wished him to rest. Sure enough, when she raised her eyes, she saw that the corners of his mouth were hooked up. Yaoniang wanted to explain, but now she didn't bother to explain. If she misunderstood, she misunderstood.
And this night is destined to be very long.
When he woke up the next day, it was already bright outside, and King Jin was no longer there.
He vaguely remembered that when he got up before, he seemed to wake up too, but fell asleep again for some reason. Yaoniang felt a little uncomfortable and asked Yuchan to prepare water for her to take a bath.
She is still a little unfamiliar with Hongsi and the others, and she is not used to having them serve such intimate matters. In fact, she had already been served by someone last night, and it was the time when she was most embarrassed, but at that time her mind was not clear, so she pretended nothing happened.
In fact, to put it bluntly, he was still ashamed last night.
Afterwards, she came out and asked Hongsi to dress and make up. Seeing that they seemed to be fine, Yaoniang was relieved.
Asked what time it is, Hongdie replied that the hour of Chen has just arrived.
Yaoniang couldn't help being a little dazed, the rules in the mansion, Jin Wang's concubines have to go to Siyi Courtyard to pay their respects to the concubine at every hour of the day.
Does she want to go
It stands to reason that she has become King Jin's concubine, and she should go to pay her respects to the princess on the day after her great joy, and listen to her advice.
But it's not impossible not to go, she has many excuses to use, for example, she hasn't settled down yet, for example, she was too tired to serve King Jin last night. The princess is a decent character, it is impossible to reprimand her for this matter.
But Yaoniang knows that this day will always come, she can't avoid it all the time, and King Jin can protect her for a while, but can't protect her for a lifetime.
"Clean up and go to Siyi Courtyard."
It seemed that she didn't expect her to say that, and the girls were a little surprised.
Hongsi probably also knows what's going on between this and how difficult it is for Yaoniang to make such a decision, so she couldn't help but say: "Actually, madam doesn't have to go today, it's not impossible to go later a few days later."
Yaoniang could also see that the girl had good intentions, and was about to say something when Yuchan said: "This time, madam should go, sooner rather than later."
Yaoniang nodded and asked a few maids to help her dress up.
During this period, Yuchan said to her: "Madam, don't be afraid that someone will say bad things." She said what happened in the mansion yesterday.
After listening to it, Yaoniang felt mixed feelings, she was still the king of Jin and would not care about such things. After all, he has always felt domineering to himself, never caring what she thinks, never expecting...
But then she didn't think so anymore, maybe he was just doing it for himself, after all, it's not a good thing for a dignified prince to sneak into someone's bed and be caught in bed.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yaoniang had no time to think about it, so she hurriedly led people to Siyi Courtyard.
Such a turmoil happened yesterday, when they came to Siyi Courtyard to pay their respects, most of the people headed by side concubine Hu looked very unhappy.
The concubine usually arrives late, and she will come out only when everyone has arrived.
In the words of Concubine Hu, this is putting on airs of her princess, maybe she got up early, sitting inside and watching the jokes of outsiders. But even if this is the case, others can't say anything, you come to pay your respects, and the princess sees you, that's for your dignity. The princess didn't see you, she left you alone, and couldn't say anything else.
Who told someone to be a big wife and a regular wife, she deserved to be superior.
Concubine Hu sits on the first chair on the left, Concubine Xu sits below her, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tao sit on the bottom, and Concubine Liu sits there alone.
Ever since this side concubine Liu entered the Jin Palace, she seemed a bit out of place. Concubine Hu is in favor, Concubine Xu is close to her, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tao don't want to offend Concubine Hu, so naturally she is still sitting where she was before, which makes her appear to be very isolated.
But this person used to be a noble person, even if other people talked to her, she would be indifferent to answer. The number of times is too many, and others are not willing to talk to her.
As for the other concubines who were new to the door, because they were humble and not as old as Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tao, they were standing beside the King of Jin, and Zhang Dunzi didn't even have a seat.
"The princess is here."
There was only a sound of bead curtains colliding, and Princess Jin came out from the inner room. Still always graceful and luxurious, with extraordinary manners. Concubine Jin is used to being pure and quiet, but at times like this, she usually shows off her majesty as a concubine.
As soon as Princess Jin sat down on the first seat, someone came to report: "Princess, Mrs. Su is here."
This name sounds a little strange at first, and many people can't understand it. It wasn't until Princess Jin called to come in, and the man slowly walked in from the door, that everyone was surprised that Mrs. Su was actually Nanny Su.
I saw her wearing a light water red narrow-sleeved double-breasted jacket, matched with a green lotus-colored twelve-panel skirt, her waist was pinched extremely narrow, making her waist appear more and more slender. Because of her slender waist, her figure looks like a gourd, her chest is bulging, her buttocks are upturned and round.
She combed an exquisite upside-down butterfly bun. At the end of the bun, a red gold exquisite tendril hairpin was inserted obliquely, and next to her, she picked a Bu Yao of red gold silk inlaid with red treasure butterfly love flowers.
One step at a time and three shakes, the whole body is full of romantic charm, obviously looking low-browed and pleasing to the eye, but no matter what, people can't get hooked on the low-key and restrained.
I just feel—what a pampering concubine!
Those who have never met Yaoniang are amazed by her peerless elegance, but those who have seen her in person are amazed. He Ze used to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, so he was not as honest as he was... All these were like slaps one after another, slapping Concubine Hu's face hard, slapping her by surprise.
Even that side concubine Xu seemed to be facing an enemy, staring at the woman with half-drawn brows but who gave off an infinite sense of threat.
On the contrary, Jin Wangfei, who was in the first place, looked at the faces of the people below, but a smile flashed in her eyes, and the smile became bigger and bigger, and she even had the urge to laugh out loud.
"Come on, take a seat."
No one would ignore the smile in Princess Jin's voice. At first, she was a little surprised, but then she thought that this girl was stuffed by the other side to the little Princess, and suddenly realized that Princess Jin is the biggest winner in this game of chess
Yao Niang was not spoiled, she went to salute Princess Jin respectfully, and then saluted the three side concubines, and then sat down next to side concubine Xu under the guidance of the girl.
The atmosphere in the arena was a little weird, and no one made a sound for a while.
It was Concubine Hu who couldn't hold back and raised her head: "Nurse Su is so handsome, I never thought that you and I would become sisters."
That is to point out the title of Mrs. Su, which obviously means to humiliate. Everyone is waiting for this impatient Mrs. Su to jump out and tear up with Concubine Hu.
Unexpectedly, Yaoniang was sitting there, as if she didn't hear it.
"Could it be that Nanny Su actually disdains to talk to me as an older sister?"
Only then did Yaoniang raise her head, timidly and hesitantly said: "Concubine, I don't know what to say."
This is the truth, how can she accept such words? So she might as well say nothing.
At this time, Princess Jin spoke up.
She was a little displeased and said: "Concubine Hu, you are an older sister, so you should be tolerant. Concubine Su is new here and has just served by His Highness's side. There is nothing wrong with us. Those of us who are a little older than her A lot of pointers are enough, there is really no need to be so aggressive."
After speaking, she paused, looked around the crowd and said: "Harmony should be the first priority in the back house, and everything should be done to serve Your Highness with all your heart, for the purpose of His Highness and the continuous succession of Zhao's royal family. Don't be jealous. , causing chaos for no reason, can you understand?"
"I would like to follow the teachings of the princess." Almost in unison, they all bowed their heads whether they wanted to or not.
The concubine of Jin is the official wife of the king of Jin, so she has the responsibility of being in charge of the female family members in the inner house. On the whole, Princess Jin has been doing very well, making it almost impossible to make a mistake.
"This is the only time for Concubine Hu, and this is not an example. You are the biological mother of the little princess, and you should set an example. Concubine Su—" Princess Jin's eyes moved to Yaoniang, and her tone was obviously softer: "You are the one that His Highness likes." , serve His Highness with all your heart and soul, and give His Highness a young son as soon as possible, and at that time, this concubine will personally present to the imperial court and invite you to be named a side concubine."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes could not help but focus on Yaoniang.
The side concubine is different from the concubine in that it is the concubine's room of the Shang Yujian, not only has a rank, but also has a salary issued by the imperial court every year. According to regulations, a prince can only have four side concubines at most, and now three of them have been occupied. If the remaining position is really for Yaoniang, even if King Jin has any concubines that he loves in the future, there will be no more. Can advance.
And Jin Wangfei said so, it is obvious that she values Yaoniang, maybe she does not need to give birth to a young son, maybe in time, the position of this side concubine will be in her pocket.
Although the concubine didn't say it explicitly, she had the same meaning in her words. All of a sudden, other people had mixed feelings in their hearts. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tao, who had not been favored for many years, were so jealous that their eyes were red. The princess valued it.
As for Concubine Hu, she was still scolding her with her front feet, but she treated Su Yaoniang kindly with her back feet. It seemed to save face for her, but he took out the little princess to speak out, which was obviously humiliating her for being disrespectful as a mother.
But she still had to endure it, otherwise, if she complied with the concubine's words, Concubine Hu's face looked as if she had opened a dyeing workshop, and the colors were so wonderful.
And Concubine Xu is too aware of her good sister's behavior, and through this Su Yaoniang, she not only shows her status, but also warns the people below not to offend recklessly, and at the same time sets up Su Yaoniang as a target.
If this Su Yaoniang is stupid, maybe how to be grateful to her.
It's not just killing three birds with one stone, but everyone present was played by her in applause.
"Okay, let's go."
Following these words, all the people stood up and saluted again. After watching Princess Jin enter the inner room, they retreated from the hall.
Yaoniang walked out with Yuchan, ignoring the eyes of many contents beside her.
"Respectfully send off Madam." It can be seen that since the princess showed a different view of Yaoniang, the maids of Siyi Courtyard treated her much more pleasantly. When sending off others respectfully, it is the standard tone and expression, but when sending her off, the expression and tone reveal a kind of intimacy.
Yao Niang nodded with a smile on her face, and was about to step out of the courtyard when she suddenly heard a scream.
She turned her head, and saw Concubine Hu with a ferocious face, her slender hands raised high, but her wrist was held by Yu Chan. But Concubine Hu was angry in her heart, and she planned to do something to Yaoniang like that rough woman in the market.
"Let go, you lowly maid." Concubine Hu said in pain.
Yuchan remained expressionless, as if she didn't hear anything.
Those who hadn't left all stared sideways at Concubine Hu. Most of the concubines of King Jin were not from low-born families, and they had never seen such vulgar behavior before. Although he didn't say anything, in fact, his contempt for Hu Fangfei was added in his heart.
Such a person can be favored by His Royal Highness Prince Jin and give birth to a little princess, really...
Sensing all kinds of strange gazes beside her, Concubine Hu was so angry and impatient, she couldn't help but began to speak indiscriminately. First scold Yuchan, and then Yuchan scolds Yaoniang after scolding.
Cursing and cursing, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and when she looked up, she saw King Jin standing not far away with a cold face, followed by Fu Cheng.
Suddenly, the sound stopped abruptly like a chicken being strangled.
