"Did you hear this clearly?" Huo Shuangshuang no longer looked at the housekeeper, but looked at Bitao and the other maids.【】
This simple sentence has a clear meaning.
Bitao and several maids lowered their heads and answered, "I heard you clearly."
"Very good. Remember your identities, abide by your duties, and do what you should do. Now that King Li is gone, we, the servants of King Li's Mansion, must not mess up our rules and let others make fun of us."
"Yes, that's what the princess taught you." A hint of sarcasm spread through Bi Tao's lowered eyes.
"Okay, all of you, please go down. I will wash up a little and then go to the mourning hall to keep vigil. Housekeeper, I have a favor to ask you."
Bitao and the other maids all left one after another.
The butler lowered his eyebrows and stood in front of Huo Shuangdian. "Princess, if you have anything to do, just ask. If you want to help, I won't accept it."
Huo Shuangshuang smiled and was very satisfied with the butler's attitude. "Butler, you need to be polite. You have devoted most of your life to Prince Li's Mansion and you deserve to be admired by everyone. If I fall short in the future, I hope the butler will do more for you."
remind."
The housekeeper was startled and said hurriedly: "I'm scared. I'm just doing my duty and don't dare to take credit. If the princess needs to go to my place in the future, just speak up."
"Housekeeper, I am the first concubine to be married to Princess Li, and I don't know much about the affairs in the palace. I would like to ask, apart from me, the principal concubine, are there any other concubines in Prince Li's palace?"
"Back to Princess, apart from you, Prince Li's palace does not have any concubines, but it does have three concubines."
At midnight, Huo Shuangshuang left the room and ran towards the mourning hall.
Along the way, she thought about the information she got from the housekeeper, and had a preliminary understanding of the three concubines. As long as they didn't mess with her, she didn't bother to pay attention to them, but if they did, these three people wanted to bully her.
, then she won’t be so easy to talk to.
As soon as Huo Shuangshuang stepped into the mourning hall, she heard bursts of miserable cries.
Looking up, he saw three beautifully dressed women kneeling in front of the tomb, one crying louder than the other, as if they couldn't express their sorrow for the death of King Li without crying more exaggeratedly.
Presumably, these three people are the three concubines the steward mentioned.
Huo Shuangshuang ignored them, chose a quiet corner, lightly lifted her skirt, and slowly knelt down.
