Jiang Yunxiu was thrown into the firewood room. She sat there blankly, looking at the firewood on the ground in a trance. Just now, Lin Ting'an's slap had destroyed all her hopes and fantasies. She felt that she might never become the young lady of the Anping Marquis's mansion.
My face hurts, but compared to the despair and pain in my heart, it seems nothing.
She sat leaning against the pillar of the house, her eyes dull.
"Miss Yunxiu, Miss Yunxiu, are you there?" At this time, a middle-aged female voice asked in a low voice outside.
Jiang Yunxiu didn't react at first, but suddenly, she raised her head and listened carefully.
"Miss Yunxiu, this is Madam Xia, are you there?" the voice outside said again.
Aunt Xia, Jiang Yunxiu remembered something, and her eyes brightened again. She came to the door and said, "I'm here."
Lin Ting'an didn't say how to deal with Jiang Yunxiu, so Lin Qing locked Jiang Yunxiu in the woodshed and only locked it.
Nanny Xia gently pushed the door, opened it a little, and looked inside, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see a thing.
At this time, Jiang Yunxiu had already arrived at the door of the woodshed. With the help of the moonlight outside, she could see the situation outside clearly.
Nanny Xia bent over and carefully pressed herself against the door, looking as if she was afraid of being discovered.
"Madam Xia." Jiang Yunxiu said anxiously, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Nanny Xia took out something from her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Yunxiu, "Miss Yunxiu, this white porcelain box contains medicine to reduce swelling, and that oil paper package contains two cakes. You can fill your stomach with these for now."
Then, she took out a box and handed it to Jiang Yunxiu, saying solemnly, "This is the Moonlight Pearl that the prince gave you. Miss Yunxiu, you see, the prince is sincere to you and has never forgotten you.
I still say that, if you figure it out, tell the prince anytime and he will carry you into the palace immediately."
Perhaps what you can't get is the best. After being sent away by Lin Ting'an with two maids, King Huainan has been thinking about Jiang Yunxiu. Later, Jiang Yunxiu and Lin Ting'an came to Beijing, and King Huainan met Jiang Yunxiu twice, and he became more and more itchy.
But he asked Lin Ting'an for the person, but Lin Ting'an refused to give in.
So he bribed Nanny Xia and asked her to give Jiang Yunxiu a gold hairpin or bracelet from time to time, hoping that Jiang Yunxiu would go to the palace. By then, once she was there, the matter would be a fait accompli, and Lin Tingan would have to release her even if he didn't want to.
This greatly satisfied Jiang Yunxiu's vanity, but the King of Huainan was really too old, and she liked Lin Ting'an, so she had not agreed. However, she did not completely give up the King of Huainan's thoughts, but just dragged it out.
This happened tonight, and King Huainan felt that the opportunity had come, so he took out a moonlight pearl from the warehouse and gave it to Jiang Yunxiu.
Jiang Yunxiu opened the box and saw a pearl as big as a plum inside, sparkling with charming luster in the moonlight.
"Oh, Miss Yunxiu, quickly close the box. It will be terrible if someone finds it." Nanny Xia said anxiously from outside.
Jiang Yunxiu quickly closed the box, but the light from the pearl just now shone into her heart.
"Miss Yunxiu, this pearl is nothing. As long as you enter the Huainan Palace, you will have all kinds of good things. You also know that the prince has no children. If you get a son after entering the palace, then you will have the final say in the palace, right
Even if you want to be a princess in the future..."
Nanny Xia chuckled twice and continued, "The prince is a little old, but he knows how to care for others! Young Master Lin is handsome and suave, but what future does it have to follow him
He will marry a wife in the future, maybe he will marry the Tenth Princess. The Tenth Princess is of noble status, if she can tolerate others, it's fine, but if not, Miss Yunxiu, you are so beautiful, think about it yourself, will the Tenth Princess allow you to stay with the eldest son
It’s different with the prince.
As for women, marrying a man means having clothes to wear and food to eat. Eating is the most important thing. As for men, it’s all the same after turning off the lights.
You have to plan well for yourself. If you can really give birth to a son for the prince after entering the Huainan Palace, you will have a lifetime of wealth and glory.
Maybe Master Lin will even bow to you when he sees you in the future! " Nanny Xia was really good at talking. According to her, it seemed that as long as Jiang Yunxiu entered the Huainan Palace, she would be able to give birth to a son and become a princess.
Jiang Yunxiu was very skeptical of the latter. The King of Huainan was already so old, could he still have a son
But it is undeniable that she was moved. The lifelong wealth and honor, and Nanny Xia's words, "Maybe Master Lin will bow to you when he sees you in the future!" really touched her.
She clenched the box containing the pearls in her hands and made her final struggle.
Nanny Xia saw that there was a way, and continued, "Miss Yunxiu, you must make a decision early. There are so many people waiting to enter the palace but can't get in. What if someone else gets there first and gives birth to the little prince..."
"Madam Xia." Jiang Yunxiu interrupted her.
"Um?"
Jiang Yunxiu paused and gritted her teeth, "If I agree to enter the palace, what will my status be?" She didn't want to be a maid anymore.
This meant that she agreed. Nanny Xia said happily, "The prince said that you will be a noble concubine when you enter the house. If you can give birth to the little prince, you will be promoted to concubine immediately.
Miss Yunxiu, this position is not low. You also know that with your status, it is impossible to become a concubine directly. "
"Your noble concubine." Jiang Yunxiu said, feeling a little disappointed. In Jiang Yunzhu's dream, she was the young lady of the marquis's mansion, so why could she only be a concubine now
But she also knew that Nanny Xia was right. With her status, it was impossible for her to become a concubine or a principal wife.
"I think you are blessed, young lady. After you enter the palace, you will definitely give birth to many children for the prince. Then..."
"Okay, I promise."
"Of course... Miss Yunxiu, do you agree?" Nanny Xia asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Jiang Yunxiu felt a little regretful, but quickly made up her mind.
"Okay, girl, you should use the medicine quickly to heal your face. I will report to the prince and he will bring you into the palace in the next two days." Nanny Xia said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yunxiu quickly took out the ointment and applied it on her face. Her only asset now was her young and beautiful body. Before she became pregnant with the King of Huainan's child, she could not lose the King's favor.
The ointment was a secret medicine from the palace. After she applied it, the burning feeling on her face was immediately replaced by a cool sensation.
The moon rabbit rose in the east, and the effect of the medicine on Jiang Yunzhu's body was finally relieved a lot. She felt sleepy and tired, and fell asleep directly.
After Shen Fengming found out, he carried her out of the bucket, called Sixteen, changed her into clean clothes, and put her in the bed.
That night, Shen Fengming did not leave and stayed by her bedside.
Jiang Yunzhu did not sleep well this time. She woke up at dawn. Her body was still a little hot, but it was bearable.
She saw Shen Fengming sitting beside the bed. He had his head down, as if he had fallen asleep, with a hint of fatigue between his brows.
There was another wound on his left neck. The blood there had already scabbed over, but the surrounding skin was red and even slightly swollen, which showed how hard Jiang Yunzhu had bitten her yesterday.
All the memories of yesterday came back to her. Jiang Yunzhu remembered how she had pestered Shen Fengming yesterday, begging him to help her. She also remembered how she had bitten his neck, and how he would rather soak in cold water with her than take the opportunity to flirt with her.
Jiang Yunzhu looked straight at Shen Fengming, carefully describing his appearance. He had a pair of long and straight eyebrows, thick eyelashes that were folded together like a small fan, a high nose bridge, and beautifully shaped lips. His face was well-defined and heroic.
Before, when she looked at him, she just thought he was good-looking, but now, she felt at ease.
At this time, Shen Fengming's eyelashes trembled slightly, he slowly opened his eyes and met Jiang Yunzhu's gaze.
That look was full of worry.
"Shen Fengming." Jiang Yunzhu said in a low voice.
"Yeah, I'm here."
Just with this sentence, Jiang Yunzhu's heart softened and warmed. She stretched out her arms, hooked them around Shen Fengming's neck, and kissed his lips hard.
Shen Fengming’s eyes gradually widened. He reached out to embrace Jiang Yunzhu, but hesitated again.
Jiang Yunzhu let go of his lips, blushing and saying, "The effect of the medicine has worn off. I know what I'm doing."
These words were like fireworks exploding in Shen Fengming's mind.
He put his arms around Jiang Yunzhu's waist and pressed his lips against hers.
After a while, Jiang Yunzhu was almost out of breath and reached out to push Shen Fengming away.
Shen Fengming let her go and looked at the beautiful person in front of him with eyes as clear as water.
It was still dark outside, and Jiang Yunzhu moved closer to the bed, motioning for him to come up and sleep for a while. After guarding her all night, he was also tired.
Shen Fengming was lying on the edge of the bed. He was tall and had long legs, so the bed, which was not small to begin with, immediately seemed a little narrow.
The two snuggled together, and Jiang Yunzhu couldn't resist the sleepiness and slowly fell asleep again.
Shen Fengming was not sleepy. He put his arms around her waist and just looked at her.
After a long time, he bent down and kissed her forehead lightly, then closed his eyes.
When the sky brightened, Jiang Yunzhu opened her eyes and felt much better.
As she moved, Shen Fengming also opened his eyes.
His hand was still on her waist, and the heat made Jiang Yunzhu's body hot.
"It's time to get up." Jiang Yunzhu stood up and moved back to avoid his hand.
Shen Fengming sat up and looked at her, a little unsure of what she was thinking.
It’s not his fault, because Jiang Yunzhu always had “amnesia” before.
Jiang Yunzhu blushed slightly, and leaned over to kiss him on the forehead to show her attitude.
That gentle kiss was as soft as a feather, but Shen Fengming suddenly felt infinite joy in his heart.
He had never experienced this feeling before, but Shen Fengming knew that he liked this feeling.
It wasn't until Jiang Yunzhu got out of bed that he came to his senses.
Jiang Yunzhu prepared to wash up.
After a while, Sixteen brought hot water. She didn't show any strange look at Shen Fengming who was also in Jiang Yunzhu's room, and helped Jiang Yunzhu comb her hair.
Her black hair flowed down and was quickly combed into a beautiful side bun.
Sixteen looked at Jiang Yunzhu and wanted to ask her what jewelry she was going to wear today.
At this time, Shen Fengming came over with a box in his hand. He opened it and inside was the white jade hairpin that he had carved before. "Let me help you put it on," he said to Jiang Yunzhu.
