Chapter 219: A serious master, a prick in the heart
Du Yufang said dissatisfiedly: "I am the concubine of the palace, how can I salute an ordinary official lady."
Tao Wanyin was about to say What? Ji Qingwu patted her hand gently.
She also didn’t like the rule of having to salute at every turn, so she didn’t take it to heart.
"Miss Ji, please sit down quickly."
The little eunuch sent by King Yong to guide her also followed her through the door.
"I will go and ask someone to serve you tea."
Du Yufang saw Chang Lu, the eunuch beside the prince, following behind Ji Qingwu, with a flattering look of nodding and bending.
She knocked on the small coffee table beside her with her hand and said: "Eunuch Chang, I have been sitting here for so long without water, and now my throat hurts. Make me a pot of rose tea first. "
After Ji Qingwu sat down on the lower right side of Tao Wanyin, he raised his eyes and looked at Du Yufang opposite. There were two maids holding fans standing beside her.
But there was no one waiting in the princess's main room.
After she enters the door, the little eunuch will be responsible for making tea.
Ji Qingwu suddenly had a clear understanding of what it meant to spoil a concubine and destroy her wife.
Tao Wanyin's face was calm, as if she had become accustomed to it.
The young eunuch Chang Lu said: "Concubine, the rose tea you drink is only available in your house. Even if I want to make tea for you, I must have this material."
Du Yufang didn't really want to drink tea, but just couldn't stand being ignored.
She said proudly: "What Eunuch Chang said is true. This tea was specially brought back by the prince from Yao'an, and I am the only one who has it in the house."
It didn't take long before the tea was ready. When we came up, the quiet fragrance of tea overflowed.
Chang Lu was waiting on the side, and Ji Qingwu said: "Don't bother me, father-in-law, I'll leave as soon as I can."
The little eunuch said: "The prince has an order for the servant to accompany you. "Miss Wu"
In the past few days, Chang Lu had been dealing with Ji Qingwu a lot. Chang Lu also knew how capable the fifth lady of the Ji family was, and King Yong was in awe of her.
Even if the prince doesn't ask, he doesn't dare not do his best.
Du Yufang's nose smelled the familiar aroma of tea, and she asked in surprise: "What you gave her to drink was Longjing Cuiyang?"
She stood up and held her waist forward. After walking a few steps, he glanced at the green tea soup in the white porcelain cup on Ji Qingwu's table.
"This is indeed the kind of tea that the prince likes to drink the most. You can only get a few taels of tea every year by pinching the tip."
As if she had caught Chang Lu's hand, she said: "Okay, Eunuch Chang, you stole the prince's cherished tea and gave it to her to drink without informing the prince. What are your thoughts?"
Suddenly being labeled as a thief, Chang Lu hurriedly explained: "The concubine has wronged the slave. It was the prince who ordered the slave to take it."
Ji Qingwu suddenly waved his hand and called the young eunuch over, whispering a few words.
Tao Wanyin frowned and said, "Concubine Du, it's just a pot of tea, why do you care so much about it."
Chang Lu quietly withdrew.
Du Yufang glanced sideways at Ji Qingwu and said, "Sister said this is just a pot of tea. My sister thinks it's not that simple. According to my sister, there will be a new person in the palace. Miss Ji has such a big battle when she first comes to the palace. It’s to show off to the princess.”
The words became more and more outrageous, Tao Wanyin’s voice was filled with anger.
"Concubine Du, you must be careful what you say."
In the palace, it was common for Du Yufang to contradict the princess, and she never took Tao Wanyin's anger into account.
Now that the Tao family has collapsed, she is not afraid of this empty shell that doesn't even have a backer.
Du Yufang asked innocently: "Is it the rule of the princess's place not to let people talk if they are ignored?"
Ji Qingwu held the tea cup and shook it gently with his jade-colored fingers.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the tea leaves that had spread out during brewing, and spoke in a soft voice. "It's my fault for being short-sighted. It turns out that the way of hospitality in Prince Yong's Mansion is like this. Even when you drink tea, you have to be criticized by others."
Du Yufang saw that she was getting an advantage and drank. She wanted to choke when she was served tea that she had never drunk before and said that the palace did not treat guests well.
Ji Qingwu brought the tea close to the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
“This tea smells ordinary, much worse than the imperial tea, so it’s okay if you don’t drink it.”
She frowned slightly: “Drink it, it will be bad luck.”
As she spoke, she raised her wrist, and all the tea splashed on Du Yufang's feet, and a lot of it even splashed on her embroidered shoes.
Du Yufang did not expect that she would dare to throw tea at her. This pair of embroidered shoes was specially made by the embroiderer.
The maid next to her hurriedly knelt down and wiped the brocade on her shoes, but she kicked her away.
Du Yufang narrowed her eyes and said, "Is this how girls from the Ji family learn to behave? When they come as guests, they throw tea at the host's house."
Ji Qingwu held the hand under his wrist with one hand. With turquoise gauze sleeves, the other hand gently placed the tea cup back on the table.
Looking up at Du Yufang, he said: "The concubine may have objections to the rules of the princess' place, and then she may be dissatisfied with the rules of the Ji family. It's really..."
"How is it really?" ”
Ji Qingwu's eyes were curved and he said: "Have you ever thought about it, Concubine, that the Queen Mother is a daughter of the Ji family, and the wife of the crown prince of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion is also from the Ji family. What Concubine said just now, I will have to face her face to face when I enter the palace tomorrow. The Queen Mother should learn a lesson and ask her elders to comment on where our Ji family's rules are lacking."
Du Yufang touched her bulging belly and said, "You don't have to scare me. The Queen Mother and I are one family. The eldest son of the palace, Yunxuan, and the child in my belly belong to the prince and the queen mother." Blood relatives. "
Having an heir by her side is her greatest confidence in the palace.
A side concubine dared to claim that she and the Queen Mother were a family. Ji Qingwu could imagine how this side concubine usually dominated Princess Yong.
She said slowly and calmly: "The concubine keeps talking about the rules, but she doesn't understand the rules the most. The concubine said that to put it nicely, she can call you empress, but to say it doesn't sound good, it is no different from a concubine. A slave with some status and status.”
Ji Qingwu's eyes were clear and his voice was gentle and authentic: "The concubine teased me for being a new comer and not understanding the rules. That's all."
That's all.
The words about slaves just now made Du Yufang so angry that her fingertips painted with water-red kodan were trembling.
Everyone in Prince Yong's palace was extremely respectful to her. Du Yufang's life was more comfortable than that of the princess, and she was flattered wherever she went.
She, the concubine, is like the mistress of the palace. The new concubine respects her more than the princess.
The only dissatisfaction is that she is a side concubine, the concubine of King Yong, and can never accompany him to palace banquets.
This was the first time in all these years that someone was poking at her heart.
The maid next to her was whispering to Du Yufang not to be angry. She had just calmed down a little when she heard a soft female voice again.
Ji Qingwu said sadly: "But the concubine should never bully me, Sister Tao, who has a kind heart and easy-going personality."
"Sister Tao is the Yongwang Concubine, and she is the Yongwang Palace. A serious master, she is the most respected and you are the most humble.”
Ji Qingwu softly called Sister Tao several times, making Tao Wanyin feel dizzy.
"Sister Tao, do you think so?"
Tao Wanyin nodded as she touched Ji Qingwu's clear eyes.
"Exactly."
Her back couldn't help but sit up straighter, feeling that she had to shoulder the responsibility of being a sister.
Tao Wanyin's voice was cold.
Ji Qingwu: Sister Tao~~
