She didn't know if Hua Xi Wan was paranoid or if it was because she had filmed all kinds of melodramatic dramas in her previous life, but she inexplicably thought of the gaze the Qilong Emperor had given her, Prince Consort Xu, and the Crown Princess when he had passed by her, Prince Consort Xu, and the Crown Princess when they had entered the palace. At the time, she had felt that the gaze had been very strange. Thinking back now, she felt that the gaze seemed to have other meanings.
Once she thought of this, Hua Xi Wan was almost shocked by her own thoughts. She took a few deep breaths and forced this unreliable thought out of her mind. Because this thought was too shocking, Hua Xi Wan felt that she had a heavy taste.
In the palace, after the Empress finished listening to Zhao Dong's report, a strange expression came onto her face. After dismissing the servants around her, she lowered her voice and asked, "Has the grand doctor made a diagnosis?"
"Niangniang, the child in the Crown Princess' belly is more than two months old," Zhao Dong quickly glanced at the Empress and then quickly lowered his head, "The Emperor values the Crown Prince's child very much, so he has already sent the palace's mama and female officials who are very experienced in pregnancy care. He has even sent two grand doctors to the Crown Prince's fu."
The Empress' expression was uncertain. In these days, because the Crown Prince had been in prison, she had been thinking about the Crown Prince all day. She was so thin that she almost lost her shape. Her cheekbones propped up a thin layer of skin. She looked much older and gave people a sharp and cold feeling, "It is rare for the Emperor to worry about such things."
Zhao Dong's heart jumped. He felt that the Empress' words weren't right, but he didn't dare to think more. He said with a smile, "It can be seen that the Emperor values you and the Crown Prince. Otherwise, he wouldn't spend so much effort on the Little Highness." Speaking of this, a hint of anger appeared on his face, "But I hadn't thought that Zhang Hou of the Dali Monastery would be so inconsiderate and cause His Highness to stay in the Heavenly Prison for a while."
The Empress' expression was dazed as though she hadn't heard Zhao Dong's words. A beat later, she said weakly, "Has the matter of the two geisha been taken care of?"
"Niangniang, the matter has been pushed to the Zhou Fu. No one will suspect His Highness," Zhao Dong's face had a smile, but the smile was slightly strange, "It's a pity that Prince Sheng's fu was not involved."
"You can't be so easily," the Empress snorted, "This time, pushing the matter onto the Zhou Family is the Zhou Family is just the result of him and us coming to a compromise. He knows that if this matter dragged on, even if it ''s't's's't' ''s, it would't of the Emperor's Family. was the result of him and of us's's''s. Him ''s,'t t' '… … …......
The Empress rubbed her forehead with some impatience. Every time she calculated a step, there would always be an accident. These years, things had not gone well. She guessed that Yan Boyi must've had something to do with it, so she wanted to kill Yan Boyi as soon as possible.
Zhao Dong didn't dare to speak more. He hadn't done his job well this time and had already displeased the Empress. If he said something wrong, it was hard to guarantee that the Empress wouldn't take the opportunity to lash out at him. Recently, the Empress had been in a bad mood. Who knew how many people in the hougong had suffered? He didn't want to suffer for nothing.
"All right, you can leave," The Empress paused for a few breaths after saying this. Then she sighed and said, "Have the servants be careful of the child in the Crown Princess's belly. Nothing must happen to the child."
Even if she knew that the truth behind some matters was disgusting and unpleasant, she could turn a blind eye to it for her son and her future glory.
Dazhao, this world, was fated to be in the hands of her son. No one could take it away from him.
After Zhao Dong walked out of the main hall, he saw a little taijian hurriedly walk over. Then he whispered into his ear, "The Emperor just sent another group of guards to the Crown Prince's fu."
The Emperor had sent so many people. The Crown Prince's fu was really going to become an impenetrable fortress. Even flies and mosquitoes couldn't get in.
He sighed. There was nothing to be done. Who told the Emperor and the Crown Prince to have such difficulty in producing children? If the Crown Prince had a child, his position would be more stable than in the past. Even if the old officials were dissatisfied with the Crown Prince, but for the sake of the Imperial Grandson, these old officials wouldn't casually support other members of the Imperial House.
Therefore, the most important matter now was for the Crown Princess to safely give birth to the Imperial Grandson.
"All right, zajia knows."
Zhao Dong turned back to look at the doors of the main hall. The black doors were like the gaping mouth of a monster, and strangely made him afraid. "The Empress is not in a good mood. Be quiet when you go in to report, and don't disturb Niangniang."
The little taijian hadn't thought that he would be able to show his face in front of the Empress. He went in with joy on his face, and didn't remember that the Empress was not in a good mood.
Zhao Dong had been able to serve the Empress for so many years because, other than being loyal and skilled with his mouth, his intuition was especially sensitive. So even though he didn't know the reason, he felt that the Empress would not be happy after hearing this news. So he didn't want to touch this bad luck.
Time flowed like water. Without realizing it, a month had passed. The case of Lin Ping Junma's assassination still hadn't been solved. Even the people of Jing gradually forgot about this unlucky junma. They joyfully welcomed the first snow in Jing, and talked about the Imperial Grandson that had not yet been born, and the muddleheadedness of the Crown Prince, or where Xian Wang and Xian Wang Fei had appeared, or how the handsome man and the beautiful woman were.
The people of the world would always forget. They were always willing to pay attention to the present. The past, the unrelated people who had passed away, in their eyes, were just something to talk about. When the topic became dull and uninteresting, no one was willing to mention it.
"Ah, it's snowing." A young servant girl in Xian Wang Fu woke up in the morning. She pushed open the wooden window and saw the snowflakes floating outside. She said happily to the people in the room, "It seems that there will be a good harvest next year."
"You, don't care about the major matters of the world. Go help in the kitchen. I heard that Wang Fei is returning to the marquis fu today, so breakfast needs to be prepared early." Her companion nimbly tidied up her clothes. "Be careful that Aunt Wang will punish you if you are late."
Hearing this, the young servant girl didn't dare to slack off. She hurriedly tidied up and ran to the kitchen. Before she entered the door, she heard an arrogant voice saying something. She twisted her mouth in disdain. Wasn't Liu Xiao San just a distant relative of the gatekeeper in the inner compound? It wasn't like he had entered the inner compound to serve. He was so arrogant.
Even though she thought this inside, she didn't dare to show too much emotion on her face. A young servant girl like her didn't dare to offend the people of the inner compound. After greeting the other people in the kitchen, she started to work.
More than an hour later, a servant girl wearing a green satin dress walked in. Her face was full of smiles and she looked very amiable. But no one in the kitchen dared to slack off. Even Liu Xiao San was nodding and bowing. He kept saying, "Orange Autumn Jiejie."
Orange Autumn had originally been sent to serve in the main compound of the wang fu. She was a person that everyone had to respect. A few days ago, Wang Fei had promoted her to a first-rank servant girl. This was a great honor. In the entire wang fu, everyone was courteous when they saw her. Supposedly, even the Wood-main Pipe was very polite in front of Wang Fei's four servant girls.
The young servant girl had just come to the kitchen and it was the first time she saw Orange Autumn. Seeing everyone in the room surround Orange Autumn, she looked with envy at the blue dress that Orange Autumn was wearing. She had heard that the servants of Wang Fei were all dressed like fairies. Seeing her today, it was true.
Originally, when the neighbors heard that she worked in the wang fu, they had to be respectful to her parents. Now that she saw Orange Autumn, she felt that her status was just to fool the people outside.
"Did I disturb your work?" Because Orange Autumn had a smile as she spoke, a dimple appeared on her cheek. "I happened to have nothing to do so I came to the kitchen to take a look. At the same time, I will help Wang Fei bring the food she wants to use."
Everyone naturally agreed. They deftly packed the things that Wang Fei wanted to use. They didn't dare to let Orange Autumn carry the food boxes. They chose a few pretty servant girls to carry the food boxes and followed Orange Autumn out of the kitchen.
"This little girl looks very fortunate." Orange Autumn suddenly pointed at the young servant girl in the corner and said, "I don't see her. Is she new?"
Liu Xiao San glanced at the young maidservant. "Cheng Qiu jiejie really has sharp eyes. Her roommate, Shuang Lu, went to the greenhouse to serve, so she took the spot." Not willing to let the young maidservant show her face, he didn't even tell Cheng Qiu her name.
"En, I see that she looks cheerful." Orange Autumn nodded. "Let her come and deliver the food. “
The young servant girl was overjoyed. She took the food boxes that the kitchen steward handed over and followed behind this Orange Autumn Jiejie with the other servant girls.
When they passed through a beautiful drooping flower door, she knew that this was the inner compound.
Behind the drooping flower door, a servant girl fawningly opened an oil paper umbrella to shield Orange Autumn Jiejie from the falling snowflakes. The young servant girl looked around and felt that it wasn't cold at all.
The scenery in the inner compound was very beautiful. Even though it should be the season when the leaves turned yellow and the branches withered, the inner compound was still a patch of green. There were some beautiful flowers blooming among the green bushes. Paired with the light snow, it was exceptionally beautiful.
The scenery was beautiful but the young servant girl didn't dare to look. When she walked to the moon door, she heard the sound of heavenly laughter coming from inside. Walking in to take a look, she saw several servant girls in luxurious clothing picking flowers from the bushes. She couldn't help but look at their white and beautiful hands.
Seeing them come in, the servant girls in luxurious clothing chatted for a while but they stopped what they were doing. They washed their hands in the copper basin that the young servant girl behind them brought over and led them into the main room.
Once they entered the door, the young servant girl felt that the room was warm. The heat made her feel dizzy. She dazedly walked into the inner room and didn't even see what the room was like. But even if her mind was clear, she didn't dare to look.
"It's such a cold day, why did you come here? Take it to warm your hands."
Such a beautiful voice, the young servant girl thought dazedly. She had never heard such a beautiful voice in her life.
"Thanks to Wang Fei for the reward." When she heard Orange Autumn Jiejie's smiling voice, she suddenly realized. No wonder the voice was so beautiful, it was Wang Fei. She sneaked a peek at the top and only saw a skirt embroidered with silver patterns. But just the skirt made her feel that it was incomparably luxurious.
Listening to the orders of the people around her, the little servant girl carefully arranged the food in the box in her hands. Just as she was about to leave, she was caught by a hand. This hand was beautiful and white. The moment it was caught, she felt as if her hand was wrapped in the world's best silk.
"Such a cute little servant girl. She looks to be twelve or thirteen years old?" Hua Xi Wan saw that this young servant girl had a round face and large eyes. She was very cute and said, "Zi Shan, look. Doesn't she look like your distant relative?"
Zi Shan smiled as she helped Hua Xi Wan wash her hands: "Wang Fei has good eyes. Nubi also feels she looks like her."
Everyone laughed at her. Hua Xi Wan wiped her hands and said: "If that's the case, then leave your distant relative in the inner compound to serve. It can be considered taking care of your relative."
Zi Shan smiled and bowed, saying: "Thank you so much, Wang Fei. Meimei, quickly thank Wang Fei for her grace."
Everyone laughed again and Hua Xi Wan ate half a bowl of purple rice porridge. As to the young servant girl, she really did stay in the inner compound to serve. Because of her delightful face, Wang Fei gave her the name of "Qiao Xi." She attracted the envy of the servants in the outer compound.
After the irrelevant people in the room left, Zi Shan helped Hua Xi Wan do her hair. Then she asked in confusion: "Wang Fei, why did you leave this little servant girl?"
Picking out a ruby and gold buyao for Zi Shan, Hua Xi Wan said: "The person in the same room with her has some problems. In the next few days, Mutong will probably tie that person up and interrogate her. She is only twelve or thirteen years old and has nothing to do with this matter. Why should she lose her life because of her roommate?"
Zi Shan heard this and understood: "Mistress is benevolent. This little servant girl is very lucky."
Hua Xi Wan did not speak. Bai Xia, who was arranging the jewelry on the side, said: "No wonder Mistress specially had Orange Autumn come today. It was for this little servant girl."
