After the Yuan Festival, the rewards in the palace will come down. The queen has some gifts to the concubines and wives of various families. Ji Man also received a lot last year, but this year, for some reason, only two Xue Wenyin letters came down.
"Is the empress struggling?" Dim Wick muttered as he put away the rewards: "Last year, there were at least four strings of coral beads, eight east beads, and two gold bracelets. Why is it like this this year?"
Ji Man rested his chin and thought for a long time, and only came to one conclusion: "The gift is also based on the worth."
If it weren't for the fact that Marquis Mo Yu was in a three-year mourning period, there would have been a lot of people who would have filled the marquis' mansion. There is only one Nie Qingyun in the Nie family who is supporting her now, and several uncles have been involved in corruption cases one by one. She, Mrs. Moyuhou, who has no children, is a thorn in the eyes of many people.
Dim Wick sighed: "The status of one's mother's family determines one's status in one's husband's family, but the servant girl sees the fish master as clearly as the master, and wants to climb up every day. I have been pestering Lord Hou for two days, yesterday He also dragged Master Hou away from Master Yun."
Nie Chenyu only dared to bully someone with no background like Liu Hanyun. Ji Man sighed: "Gaiming gave her a piece of advice, and told her to calm down. If she dared to jump like this without a support behind her, there might be a gun Let’s hit the first bird.”
Dim Wick nodded, and as soon as he closed the cabinet, he saw the spring breeze from Xia's yard rushing over: "Madam, madam, hurry up and save Master Xia!"
With a thump in his heart, Ji Man stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chunfeng's eyes were red: "Master Yun came to Cailian Pavilion for no reason, saying that it was my master who harmed Young Master Xi. God is sorry, my master hasn't even gone out recently."
After hearing this, Deng Xin knew that there was no An Sheng, and had already gone to fetch Ji Man's cloak. Spring is chilly, but still a little cold.
"What's wrong with Xi'er?" Ji Man put on his cloak and asked as he walked.
"Master Xi is said to have been fed a bit of mush by the nanny. My master took it from the kitchen. My master was going to wean Master Hao Hao to eat, but the maid in Linghan Court took it wrong." Chunfeng said aggrievedly: " They took the wrong things themselves and blamed my master, how can there be such a saying."
Ji Man raised his eyebrows and quickened his pace towards Cailian Pavilion.
Xi'er was crying, and the doctor was checking her food. Xia Shi was a little helpless and stood on the side hugging her. Liu Hanyun stared at her with cold eyes.
"Madam is here."
The maid opened the curtain, and Ji Man went in, took off her cloak and looked at the people in the room.
"Ma'am." Liu Hanyun withdrew his eyes and came over to salute. Xia Shi still stood aggrieved, took a good look at Ji Man and said, "Madam is here."
"Yeah." Ji Man walked over to look at Xi'er, the doctor finished checking the bowl on the side, cupped his hands and said, "Master Xi had eczema at the very beginning and couldn't eat fish and shrimp. There are shrimps in this bowl, so Master Xi It's going to be red and swollen."
There were many red bumps on the poor little face, Ji Man pursed her lips, looked at Liu Hanyun and said, "Why did I take the wrong bowl? I remember that Xi'er is not yet weaned."
"I don't know about myself." Liu Hanyun bit her lips and said, "It's because the nanny didn't like it, so she ate it by mistake."
Whose four or five-month-old baby can crawl to eat things by mistake? Ji Man frowned: "If the nanny can't take care of her well, then change her."
"Mrs. Mingjian." Xi'er's nanny stood up and said with some trembling: "I didn't do it on purpose. I brought something from the kitchen today to eat for myself, but Master Xi'er's little hand straightened my claws. I think I might be able to do it earlier." Weaned, so I fed some, how could I know that there is something in this bowl that the young master can't eat."
"So, how can you blame Xia Shi?" Ji Man glanced at Xia Shi.
"Who knows." Xia said with a flat mouth: "If you bring a child and say it was me who killed it, I don't even have time to take care of it. How can I have time to hurt anyone? The child is so innocent. That food is delicious, so I can't help it." Let the kitchen do it."
Liu Hanyun stared at Xia Shi: "The nanny told me that it was Mu Yu who took the initiative to give the food to the nanny, didn't she cook it well? What does it mean to give it to my nanny?"
Mu Yu paused, then knelt in front of Ji Man and said, "This servant is kind-hearted for a while. Seeing Master Xi'er's nanny came to look for food, thinking that it would not be easy for her to take care of the young master. There is nothing else in the kitchen, so this servant will let her go first." After eating mush, the servant girl plans to make it again."
Liu Hanyun sneered twice, stretched out his arms to hug Xi'er and said: "You are always right, it's always because of the son, Mrs. Hou will favor you, I have nothing to say."
"Han Yun." Ji Man pulled her: "Don't get excited."
"Xi'er has become like this, how can I not be excited?" Liu Hanyun's eyes were a little red, stomping his feet and said: "This is not a good thing, madam, you have to be careful!"
Xia Shi retorted unconvinced: "You sound like a simple person, which lamp in this yard saves fuel?"
"You..." Liu Hanyun gritted his teeth.
Mo Yuhou stepped into the room, and frowned when he saw the tense posture: "What's wrong?"
Liu Hanyun hugged Xi'er and didn't speak, but Xia Shi embraced Xi'er and greeted her, and said with a playful smile: "Master Yun can't get along with me, saying that I caused her Xi'er to eat the wrong food, Marquis, you come to judge, you are the son of the prince." Well, what did I do to her child?"
Ning Yuxuan listened to what had happened, frowned at Liu Hanyun and said, "Yun'er, go back to Linghan Courtyard."
Liu Hanyun's eyes turned red: "Master Hou really doesn't need to find out the truth of the matter, so he wants to be so partial?"
"We're all in the same family, so there's nothing to investigate." Ning Yuxuan came over, gently embraced Liu Hanyun's shoulder, and glanced at Ji Man by the way: "Let's go back first and get medicine for Xi'er."
Ji Man also nodded: "All nurses should be more careful, if such a mess happens again, it won't be as easy as today."
Both nurses nodded.
Ning Yuxuan led Liu Hanyun out, and Ji Man followed behind and left Cailian Pavilion.
"Why are you making trouble with the Xia family?" Mo Yuhou walked ahead, holding Liu Hanyun's waist and said, "When Xi'er grows up, I will also arrange a future for him."
"Master Hou, this concubine did not want to embarrass her." Liu Hanyun smiled wryly, "I will not fight for something that is not Xi'er's. It's just that the Xia family's background is unknown, not to mention rude, but also ambitious." It's quite big. If you indulge again and again because of your son, she will only make more progress."
As Ji Man listened, he couldn't help but feel that Liu Hanyun was biting on it. Apart from speaking more directly, Xia didn't do anything superfluous. Being stupid is easy to be framed. That's why she and Mo Yuhou will always protect her.
Ning Yuxuan obviously had the same idea with her, so he didn't say much, but sent her back to Linghan Courtyard, and asked the maid nanny to cook the medicine.
"Mingjie will be back soon."
On the way back to Feiwan Pavilion, Ning Yuxuan turned his head and said this to Ji Man.
The war of several months was not long, but the number of casualties was unknown. However, judging from the battle report, Ning Mingjie has made a lot of contributions, temporarily acting as the marshal, and marching troops into the formation has convinced all the veterans. It is said that the army has surrendered.
General Shen Bozhong is the uncle of the eldest concubine Shen Youqing, and he contributed a lot this time. The emperor also praised the eldest concubine for this, and even allowed Zhao Zhe to participate in some military affairs.
In short, after the Nie family buried Ordnance, the battle suddenly went smoothly and triumphed all the way.
Ji Man listened, nodded and asked, "Recently, Hou Ye wants to protect Nie's family, isn't there a lot of pressure?"
The Nie family has been in trouble, and Mo Yuhou, as the son-in-law of the Nie family, naturally wants to contribute to it. It's just that there are too many Nie family members, and they can only protect some, but not all. Because of the matter of the Nie family, the emperor also had some opinions on Mo Yuhou. The eldest prince's intention was to let Mo Yuhou distance himself from Nie Sangyu and Nie Chenyu.
However, he was estranged from Nie Sangyu, but it was rumored that Nie Chenyu was quite charming, which made Mo Yuhou feel very favored at this pass, and he did his best to help keep Nie's family safe.
The imperial concubine was so relieved, Yuan Jie also specially rewarded Nie Chenyu with something, but Ji Man faintly felt that Ning Yuxuan's behavior was more like taking Nie Chenyu as a leader.
"It's nothing." Glancing at her, Mo Yuhou said, "General Nie was also kind to Yuxuan in the early years, but I was far away in Foshan at that time, and I didn't have time to intercede for him. Now I can only try my best to keep your Nie family members."
Ji Man nodded, Nie Chenyu should be so happy to hear this, Mo Yuhou loves her so much, and wants to keep the Nie family because of her.
But with Mo Yuhou's supernatural powers who knew everything, Ji Man didn't believe that he would not hear anything about such a sudden incident. They took the family to Foshan together, but she was the only one left to deal with it. How dare you pretend to be innocent now
hehe.
"Your brother seems to be working very hard recently." Ning Yuxuan stretched out his hand and held Ji Man's hand: "Why don't you invite him to the mansion tomorrow, there are also vacancies in the court recently, I will plan for him, and let others Elders, take it easy."
"Thank you, Lord Hou." Ji Man nodded and saluted.
Although it was a good thing, for some reason, she always felt a little uneasy. The competition between the eldest prince and the third prince is becoming increasingly fierce. If Nie Qingyun is the top one at this time, is it possible that if he succeeds, he will be under one man, and if he loses, there will be no bones left
A gust of wind blew, and she shivered. Ning Yuxuan hugged her gently, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, I can't let you go now."
thank you. Ji Man rolled his eyes, and stretched out his arms to hug him back: "Sang Yu believes in Lord Hou."
After going back and having a good sleep, Ji Man thinks that something big will happen after Ning Mingjie comes back, right? She should take a good rest recently to recharge her batteries.
In the end, she was wrong, Liu Hanyun and Xia Shi might have been destined to be at odds, and the fight was endless.
"Ma'am, Master Yun fell into the water!"
Ji Man felt a headache.
