Chapter 1554: Tiger Girl 38
Seeing the third young lady leaning on the heated kang, Grandma Li made a slight blessing: "Say hello to the young lady."
"Mother Li, please take a seat." After Xining said that, Qiuye quickly brought a stool covered with embroidered cushions.
Nanny Li thanked her and sat down. She made her plans and set the date three days later, on the seventh day of the first lunar month. He also gave a special reminder: "Entering the palace is a big deal. Madam said that on that day, she asked the old slave to come over to help. Make sure the lady looks fresh and bright."
Apparently he was afraid that his daughter, who was accustomed to being overindulged, would dress inappropriately. Xining responded: "I know, then I'll bother you."
Aunt Li brought the words to her, stood up, saluted, and left.
In the previous plot, at this time, the body owner was already engaged, so naturally he was ready to get married, so he didn't go. This time, I want to see how lively the palace is for the position of the third prince's main concubine.
After Grandma Li left, Dongmei asked the other four maids to quickly look through the cabinets and boxes to look at sets of clothes and jewelry.
Then I heard Qiuye say: "Just prepare three or five sets for Grandma Li to look at. It's not a problem to browse randomly."
Dongmei refused: "This time I'm going to the palace, and I can't say anything lower than other palaces. If you feel tired, just take a rest and leave me alone."
Qiuye became angry immediately: "When did I say I was tired..."
"What are you doing?" Xining interrupted Qiuye.
"I'm helping the young lady get ready to enter the palace. Some people are tired." Dongmei complained first and rolled her eyes at Qiuye.
Qiuye was so angry that he wanted to argue, but after looking at the lady, his lips moved and he didn't say anything.
Having Qiu Ye by her side these days often makes Dongmei feel a sense of crisis. How could she not know all these things, so she said: "Don't dress so fancy when you enter the palace. Just prepare the clothes you went to attend the Red Plum Poetry Party last time. Go and do what you should be busy with, Dongmei and Qiu." Leaves stay.”
The other three maids looked at each other, Chunyu gave a signal with her eyes, and all three of them walked out.
Xining took a deep breath, as if sighing slightly, and said leisurely: "I'm not in good health, so I can't make any noise. Have you been comfortable for too long, thinking that everything is calm in this house? If the fence is not strong, there is an opportunity. Fortunately, There are no outsiders in the house.”
Dongmei and Qiuye both lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. There is nowhere to be quiet in this deep house and high gate. Even if it is a still water, there is hidden turmoil inside.
The young lady was familiar with her methods. She saw that there was something wrong with Poria cocos and was dismissed in the blink of an eye.
"You have been by my side since childhood, and I have trusted you. You both know your strengths and weaknesses, and you are not partial to one over the other. Qiuye is more familiar with the ways of the world, and Dongmei, you are very thoughtful in your service. In such a short period of time, you can support me. I obviously care about the position. When you have the strength, think more about how to tighten the fence and protect the yard, otherwise I won’t be able to keep you.”
Dongmei and Qiuye immediately knelt down. Before they could defend themselves, Xining said, "Don't kneel down either. Think carefully about what I said. I'm also tired and want to eat some rice tonight."
Dongmei and Qiuye stood up and helped her tuck the quilt silently. Qiuye retreated, leaving Dongmei guarding.
After Qiuye left, Xining said sincerely: "Dongmei, everything is limited. You don't know as much as Qiuye. This is true. You are not like her. My mother and I are both in Beijing, so you have to be with Qiuye." If you are angry, you can listen to her opinions in the future and have someone take care of you if you have any problems.”
In the future, both Qiuye and Dongmei will find a family to marry. The difference between Dongmei and Dongmei is that she has no family and no one to redeem her. When they get married in the future, there will be some family matters that cannot be discussed with the master. The master is a brainless person, and Qiuye is the one who comes up with the ideas.
He didn't say this out loud just now. He only said yes in front of Qiuye, obviously to give her face. Dongmei stopped the sewing in her hand, lowered her head, her face flushed with shame, and her voice was softer than a mosquito's cry: "Miss is really a slave, and I know it."
Now that I know, I won’t say much. Just as he was dazed, Zhao Yingyue ran over.
Qiuye was heard shouting outside: "The third young master is here!" Zhao Yingyue's voice came from the outer room: "Are your ladies awake?"
Xining opened her eyes and signaled to Dongmei: "Go and invite her."
Dongmei put down the needlework in her hand, stood up and walked to the outer room: "The third young master always comes at a good time, the young lady has just woken up."
Only then did Zhao Yingyue walk into the back room. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "Why are you still lying down? If the ladies from other mansions knew that they were going to the palace, they wouldn't have quickly asked someone to get in the car and go out to choose clothes and jewelry. .”
"Third brother, sit down." Xining leaned up, and a Kang table was brought up and placed in the middle.
Zhao Yingyue sat down on the other side of the kang table: "Now that you're awake, get up and I'll take you to the street to buy some."
"The clothes in this cabinet are enough to last for several years, and the shop is not overcrowded now. Last time, the head of Jiashun County bought a cabinet of gilt silver bracelets. Then for a piece of jewelry, If a piece of fabric breaks out again, my reputation is completely over." Xining said with a smile.
Zhao Yingyue was overjoyed: "It has spread outside. You are really powerful. You have made the head of Jiashun County suffer such a big loss, but she is not lovable in the first place."
There is no airtight wall in the world. Even if the people in Huajun Prince's Mansion and Jubao Pavilion didn't say anything, there were still two or three people at the scene at that time, and there should also be people upstairs, so it would inevitably spread.
If you don't like it, you just hate it. How many people outside will find out how to laugh at it.
Zhao Yingyue lowered her voice slightly: "This time, the empress has invited the female relatives from the capital, and the official family also invited officials as usual, but this time they also invited the legitimate sons of various families. After all, many royal relatives and nobles are here. Marriage age. It’s a rare occasion. Do you really plan not to buy it? ”
If these three princes are not successful, if Zhao Chengzong is not successful, there are many other noble princes, just to see if there is any match for them.
"The third brother is just the right age." Xining lightly covered his mouth with his fingers: "Is it the third brother who wants to go to the streets to make trouble?"
Zhao Yingyue was amused. This little girl spoke too directly. She didn't look like a girl who had not yet left the court. However, this is not too much between siblings.
Sure enough, in the past two days, all the good goods in the shops outside have been sold out. From time to time, it was heard that the young ladies from this house and that house were in conflict over the same thing, and they were quarreling fiercely.
Xi Jing listened quietly. Since these words could reach her ears, they could also reach the palace. The competition for marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man actually started before he even entered the palace.
The day before entering the palace, Grandma Li came over. When I saw the clothes and jewelry prepared, I thought about it and asked, "Is this the same outfit as when I attended the Red Plum Poetry Festival last time?"
Dongmei responded: "Exactly."
Grandma Li frowned: "They are wearing the same outfit..."
Xining said calmly: "This time I went just to have fun with the officials and the people. Wearing the same outfit makes it more casual, and it also shows that we attach equal importance to the poetry meeting."
Hearing this, Grandma Li's brows relaxed, she thought for a while and then nodded: "That's fine, I'll go back and resume my life right now."
Xining asked Dongmei to deliver it. After a long time, Grandma Li did not come back, which proved that this outfit was approved.
