Chapter 2429 Waste Princess 17
When people came, Ziling asked questions on his behalf: "Report yourself."
The old slave replied tremblingly: "The old slave's name is Xia Zhi, and everyone calls the old slave Xia Pozi. The old slave misunderstood and begged the Queen Mother for mercy. Since then, everyone has laughed at the old slave for being blind and called the old slave blind woman. Son. Please have mercy on the Queen Mother and Princess..." He kowtowed while begging for mercy.
Common people are just like slaves. They can't recognize a basket of characters without reading a book. If you don't think of the nicknames of cats and dogs, the best way to name them is to use the solar terms in the weekly calendar.
"Stop kowtowing, otherwise your forehead will be broken again." This kowtowing was like picking out garlic, and each one was so heavy that Xining couldn't stand it.
"Mo'er, are you sure you want this?" The Queen Mother couldn't stand it. It seemed unreasonable for such a lowly slave to be a personal mother who couldn't pay her dues. The previous wet nurse was at least a commoner who sold herself as a slave, and this one with the branding on her body was born to be a slave.
"She is a rough lady, as long as she is loyal." Anyway, she is loyal to you, the Queen Mother. If she is next to my sister, she will feel at ease: "Be trustworthy in your employment, Mrs. Xia, what other family members do you have?"
Mrs. Xia was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a hint of hope: "The old slave once had a daughter. When the old slave was bought, she was only ten years old. She should be thirty years old now."
"Go and check it out. If you find it, the whole family will buy it." The Queen Mother gave an order, and Mrs. Xia kowtowed in gratitude to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother, who felt that she had the power of life and death, was in a good mood, and with a bit of pride, she asked Mrs. Xia to follow the Fourteenth Princess from now on.
Mrs. Xia quickly agreed, and then followed the Queen Mother's maid to the courtyard where the Fourteenth Princess lived, and went to work first.
Then the Queen Mother went for a walk in the garden, and Xining accompanied her.
As he walked, he followed Ziling to please her.
"Your Majesty, there are so many flowers blooming today and they are so beautiful."
"That's because they know that grandma cares about her slaves, so they all rush to express their gratitude." This sentence made the Queen Mother burst into laughter.
"It seems to be true." Ziling admired the 14th Princess for her ability to speak and how she found ways to make the Queen Mother feel comfortable every day.
Walking to the pond: "Grandma, the lotus leaves are growing really well. My granddaughter will make lotus leaf chicken for you tomorrow morning."
"Oh, you think of ways to cook delicious food like this every day, and the Ai family has gained weight." The queen mother said, her mouth watering, the food made by her granddaughter is indeed delicious.
"That's called being rich. Of all the ladies and beauties in the palace, there is no one who is not round and round. Grandma can eat it, but at worst, Mo'er will cook lotus leaf tea for her to get rid of her tiredness."
By the way, lotus leaves are cooling and laxative, so you can eat more lotus leaf chicken. The Queen Mother smiled and nodded. In fact, she was already old. If she wanted to be slim, that would only be achieved by a dancing and charming girl. She, the Queen Mother, wanted to be rich.
Suddenly, a woman pulled out a half-grown child and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother.
"Who is it?!" Ziling immediately spread her arms to block the Queen Mother and the Fourteenth Princess, looking at the visitor warily.
"Your Majesty Handong comes to see the Queen Mother. An'er has been thinking about you, so I brought An'er here to visit the Queen Mother. If there is any rudeness, please forgive me." When you hear the name and the position, you will know that your status is not high, and you are not a member of the palace. It was Concubine Teng's maid and slave who was lucky enough to give birth to a child, so she got the title.
Han Dong pulled his son: "An, kowtow to grandma quickly. Hurry up."
Ziling put down her arms, stood behind the Queen Mother, and said softly: "This is the Eighth Young Master An, whom the Queen Mother met at the family banquet before."
Xi Ning really admired this kind of personal palace lady with her extraordinary memory. Even if my memory is not that good, I will make up for it afterwards so that I can remember everyone clearly. The Queen Mother brought Ziling with her, just like a flowing system.
Think about the system you carry with you...forget it, forget it. "Oh, he's the one who loves meat." The Queen Mother remembered it and waved her hand: "Come here and show Ai Jia."
Now there is a fourteenth princess, but she is a girl after all, and sooner or later she will marry far away. Even if she holds a high position and has countless properties, having one more grandchild around her will give her an extra layer of protection. When the new king takes the throne in the future, if she is treated harshly, someone must be willing to stand up for her, inform her, and spread the word about the harsh treatment.
Gongzi An's mother was of low status and would definitely not be able to succeed to the throne. At that time, she did not show any bad intentions at the family dinner, but she was just a young man who lacked food and clothing.
"An'er, go quickly, go quickly! Haven't you been talking about wanting to see the Queen Mother?" Han Dong quickly pushed his son towards the Queen Mother, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Come, come, grandma, take a good look." As soon as the Queen Mother took Young Master An's hand, she frowned: "So, time has passed, why are you still so thin? You ate a lot that day, could it be that you have worms in your stomach? ”
Speaking of this, Gongzi An's stomach began to growl.
Gongzi An swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "Grandma, I'm not hungry."
Speaking of wealth, the ladies and beauties in each palace are all round and round. Look at the thinness of the Eighth Prince, and even the thinness of the imperial daughter Handong, whose cheeks are a little sunken, which is like a slap in the face of the King of Liang.
"Let's go with grandma to eat delicious food." The queen mother took Mr. An's hand and turned around to go back.
Mr. An refused to leave and turned to look: "Mother."
"Go, go." Han Dong knelt there, waving his hands anxiously, why didn't this child understand? Leave her alone and follow him quickly. As long as you hug the Queen Mother's thigh like the fourteenth princess, you will have a good life in the future.
"Then let's come together." The queen mother was a little unhappy, but it was more considerate without her mother, otherwise, no matter what, there would still be a mother in front of her.
Ziling winked at the maid next to her. The maid walked over and stood next to her with her nose pointed upward. She said in a long voice: "Follow me yet."
"Yes!" Han Dong stood up and followed the maid carefully. From time to time, he looked up at the Queen Mother and his son standing in front.
This is the palace. If you don't have power, even if you give birth to a prince, you are not as good as a second-class palace person next to a powerful person.
When they arrived at the Queen Mother's chamber, Mr. An sat opposite the Queen Mother, while Xining followed Ziling obediently and sat behind the Queen Mother. Handong sat at the table arranged next.
The Queen Mother ordered people to bring food, and there were leftovers from the morning in the kitchen. Corn porridge, boiled vegetables, and white-cut meat were put on the table.
Handong ate slowly and carefully, while Mr. An used both hands to grasp the meat.
"Ouch~" The Queen Mother pretended to frown: "You don't even need chopsticks. A young master, so ignorant of etiquette, how did you teach me as a mother?"
Han Dong was so frightened that he immediately put down his chopsticks, turned around and fell to the ground: "It's my fault. I didn't teach you well. Please punish me, Queen Mother!"
It's her fault that she didn't teach her well. Please teach her more, Queen Mother. After punishing her, she left her son behind. There was porridge and meat here, and the fourteenth princess was getting better and better visibly.
"Punishment is the Queen's business. As an old woman, I can't let my daughter-in-law take charge of the concubines in the backyard." What the Queen Mother was thinking about was whether to give this grandson a chance. After all, his biological mother was still alive. Staying means that her biological mother and aunt have not taken good care of her. Even if she and the queen don't want to see each other, it is not the time to tear her face apart.
Decided to ignore this nosy matter: "Go back after eating."
