The maid at the door interrupted Qin'er. Qin'er wanted to mention Hua'er to Princess Ning. Hua'er's recent behavior was really strange. She was holding a doll in the back garden in the middle of the night and seemed to be cursing something. The pillow
Another spell written in blood was placed underneath.
It's a pity that I finally had the opportunity to talk to the princess about this matter, but I was interrupted by the arrival of the madam. Originally, when the madam was around, she would definitely pay more attention to the matter of painting, because the madam didn't like to curse these things.
It was a crooked way. But the lady didn’t believe her at all, so mentioning it at this time would be detrimental to her. So, she listened to the princess’s words and hid aside. She waited for the lady to enter the house before leaving the yard.
"Mother concubine." Princess Ning greeted with a smile.
"Why are you so happy today?" the lady said.
"I just went to visit my grandmother and talked to her for a while, so I was in a good mood. Concubine, let's go into the house and talk." Princess Ning said.
"Where have Qin'er and Hua'er gone? Why are they not with you?" the lady asked.
After the lady sat down, Hua'er and Qin'er disappeared, and then she asked Princess Ning about their whereabouts.
The last time Princess Ning took Qin'er to see her mother-in-law, although the mother-in-law didn't say anything, she could tell that the mother-in-law was still dissatisfied with Qin'er. She originally asked Qin'er to hide behind her, as long as she was not too conspicuous.
, the mother-in-law wouldn’t care. Then she thought, wouldn’t it be better to let Qin’er go to the small kitchen, where the mother-in-law can’t see her.
However, I didn't expect that the mother-in-law would ask about their whereabouts as soon as they entered the door.
"Concubine, Qin'er is brewing medicine in the small kitchen, while Hua'er went to make tea and will be back soon," Princess Ning explained.
"It seems that I still need to keep taking the medicine, my complexion has really improved a lot," the wife said.
"Thanks to Hua'er taking medicine for me again, I didn't expect that I would get better so quickly." Princess Ning said.
"Girl Hua'er is really very attentive. With Hua'er by your side, mother-in-law will feel relieved," the lady said.
Princess Ning smiled and said: "I know even if my mother doesn't tell me, I am planning to Hua'er last time. Hua'er has indeed done a good job during this period. Not only does she have to take care of Qin'er, but she also has to serve me."
"My concubine came here just to remind you, don't be nice to Qin'er alone. After all, Hua'er has been following you since early in the morning. I see that Hua'er is very attentive to you, so there is no need for Qin'er to be any worse. Even you
I think Qin'er is better, but my mother-in-law still thinks that Hua'er is more attentive to taking care of you than Qin'er." Madam murmured.
"Of course I know what my concubine means, and I will keep a bowl of water straight. But, Ning'er mentioned the matter of eldest brother to you last time. Didn't you tell eldest brother?" Princess Ning asked.
"I told you that your eldest brother's marriage is not up to me. As a little girl, you'd better not get involved in this matter. It's better to study painting in the mansion." Madam said.
"Mother, I know that your eldest brother's marriage is not your fault. It's just a concubine, and you don't want your eldest brother to marry a wife." Princess Ning said coquettishly.
"You should not get involved in the matter of your eldest brother taking concubines," the lady said.
"Concubine, I know you don't like Qin'er, but it is Qin'er's wish that she can serve her elder brother. If her wish is fulfilled, Qin'er will definitely be more loyal." Princess Ning said.
"If you insist on sending the girl next to you to your elder brother's yard, I'm pretty good at painting." The lady said.
Just as they were talking about this, Hua'er walked in with tea. Hua'er didn't hear what the mother and daughter were saying, but when she saw the lady looking at her, she felt a little at a loss.
"Madam, please have tea." Hua'er said.
"Look, Hua'er has pretty features, and I think she's much better than Qin'er." The lady said with a smile.
"Mother concubine, Ning'er can't help you, but don't even think about Hua'er." Princess Ning said.
After Hua'er put down her tea, she retreated out of the door. The lady continued: "My concubine really thinks Hua'er is good, and it's not right to be generous or decent. I just told you not to be partial, why can't I promise Hua'er to your eldest brother?"
?" said the lady.
"If Hua'er and Qin'er are sent to eldest brother's yard, there will be no one in my yard." Princess Ning said.
"Isn't it enough that the concubine has promised to keep Qin'er by your side? Since you like Qin'er to serve you, the concubine will not object. In this case, it would be better to send Hua'er to your eldest brother's yard."
the lady said.
"Why is the mother-in-law so partial?" Princess Ning asked.
"Why is the mother-in-law partial?" the lady asked.
"Ning'er planned to let Qin'er serve eldest brother, but you objected and refused to agree. But after mentioning Hua'er, you were wholeheartedly willing. I know that my mother-in-law doesn't like Qin'er, but Qin'er only listened to my orders.
It will be like this." Princess Ning said.
"Silly girl, I am your concubine, how can I be partial to Hua'er? I said this for Qin'er's sake. You know your elder brother's temper, and Qin'er cannot satisfy your elder brother at all.
Only a girl like Hua'er who doesn't fight or snatch will be pitied by your elder brother," the lady said.
"But..." Princess Ning did not say anything.
Princess Ning has already promised Qin'er privately. If she tells Qin'er that her mother-in-law intends to send Hua'er to her eldest brother's yard, Qin'er will definitely be very sad.
But she knew that the concubine did not really intend to send Hua'er there, but just wanted to let Qin'er know that no matter who was arranged to serve the prince, it would not be Qin'er's turn.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Concubine Yun has already sent a message to Concubine Yun. When we get a reply, Concubine Yun will take you into the palace," the lady said.
"Enter the palace? Are you going to see Concubine Yun again?" Princess Ning asked.
"Ning'er has really changed. When she knew she could enter the palace, she was so happy that she couldn't close her eyes all night long. Today, she looks like she doesn't like entering the palace." Madam asked.
"No, how could it be?" Princess Ning said.
In fact, Madam was right, Princess Ning just didn’t want to enter the palace. She shuddered when she thought of Concubine Yun Gui handing herself over to Aunt Qin. She must have suffered so much in the palace because of Concubine Yun Gui’s instruction.
.Otherwise, even if Nanny Qin had the courage, she would not dare to whip herself.
Concubine Yun turned her resentment towards her mother-in-law onto her. She suffered a lot in the palace because her wounds healed too quickly. Even if she told her family, no one would believe her.
"I have heard about Ning'er's last visit to the palace. The mother-in-law thinks that it is Ning'er's fault," the lady said.
"Obviously it was she who specifically confessed. Ning'er was so unjustly accused, why is it all my fault?" Princess Ning said unconvinced.
"Because when you first entered the palace, you made Concubine Yun unhappy. I heard that you beat a palace maid. Did His Highness Prince Rui know about this?" Madam asked.
"Yes." Princess Ning lowered her head and said.
"You hurt the maid next to Concubine Yun, and even ran to the gate of Jingyang Palace without permission. His Majesty was there at the time. How could Concubine Yun spare you?" Madam said.
"Isn't it because of the personal grudge between my aunt and my mother-in-law that my aunt took revenge on me?" Princess Ning said.
"If Ning'er thinks so, then the mother-in-law has nothing to say," the lady said.
"Concubine, why are you bringing me into the palace in a few days?" Princess Ning said.
"Don't forget that your marriage requires Concubine Yun to take action," the lady said.
"Concubine, do you really trust your aunt?" Princess Ning said.
Princess Ning did not trust Concubine Yun, especially when her mother-in-law was not in the capital. She did not dare to leave her marriage to Concubine Yun. It would be better to leave it to her grandmother. At least her grandmother would not let herself do it for the sake of Prince Cheng's Palace.
If you marry poorly, you will suffer.
"Do you believe my mother-in-law?" the lady asked.
"Of course Ning'er trusts her, but she doesn't understand why she trusts her so much now when she clearly hates her aunt." Princess Ning asked in confusion.
Of course Madam would not tell the secret to Princess Ning. She just smiled at her and said, "As long as Ning'er trusts Concubine Mother, you may know about it in the future."
Although Princess Ning was full of doubts about her mother's words, she still didn't understand why she trusted her aunt so much. She remembered that Concubine Yun was not favored at all. Although she gave birth to a prince, His Majesty's attitude towards her was
But she is still lukewarm. But I don't know what happened. After His Highness Pluto came back, His Majesty's attitude towards his aunt was completely different.
"What is Ning'er thinking about, making her lose her mind?" the lady asked.
"Ning'er just wanted to know what clothes to wear when she goes to the palace with her mother. You may not know that the last time she went to the palace, my grandmother made two new sets of clothes for Ning'er," Princess Ning said.
"Concubine, I asked the people at the clothing shop to make two pairs of clothes for you. They already knew your size and didn't tell you," the lady said with a smile.
"Thank you, Concubine Mother. Concubine Mother is the best to Ning'er." Princess Ning said with a smile.
It took about a quarter of an hour for Madam to leave Princess Ning's yard. Because she had already left, Qin'er also returned to the yard.
Seeing that Princess Ning seemed to have something on her mind, she asked, "Princess, has Madam given you trouble again?"
"Concubine Mother said she would go to the palace in two days to pay her respects to Concubine Yun." Princess Ning said.
"It turns out that it's because of the matter of entering the palace. What is the princess worried about? The last time the princess prepared a gift for Concubine Yun Gui, it can be said that she put a lot of thought into it. Besides, it was my wife who brought you into the palace, so the princess has nothing to worry about.
"Qin'er said.
"My mother-in-law wants to entrust my marriage to Yun Guifei, can I not worry? I have never experienced this before, so I have nothing to worry about. But since I entered the palace last time, I have learned that the relationship between my aunt and my mother-in-law is really real.
It’s hard to describe in words.” Princess Ning said.
"Princess, since Madam is sure that Concubine Yun will not take the opportunity to plot against you, you should also believe in Madam. Madam loves the Princess the most, and she will not allow anyone to hurt you," Qin'er said.
"I know my mother-in-law loves me, I just don't believe my aunt," Princess Ning said.
"Princess, the food is ready." Hua'er said.
"I don't want to eat it, so don't serve it." Princess Ning said.
"Then what can we do? You can only take medicine after eating, otherwise it will hurt your stomach." Hua'er said.
"Yes, Princess, you might as well eat less." Qin'er echoed from the side.
"Okay, I'll eat less." Princess Ning said.
"Princess, Madam will not let you be wronged. Even if she has a goal, she will not blindly grant you a marriage. Before granting a marriage, Madam will definitely investigate whether it is suitable. If it is not suitable, how could she agree to the marriage?
?" Qin'er persuaded.
"What you said makes sense. My mother-in-law loves me so much, so she will never let me be wronged." Princess Ning said.
