Zhixia and Ruixue were almost asleep after waiting, and finally heard the sound of the door being pushed open. The two maids were both refreshed, and they rushed over with a smile, and said in unison:
"Miss, the bathing water is ready..."
"Miss, it's getting late, it's time to go back to Hefengyuan..."
Ye Qingning ordered lightly: "Ten sisters will stay here tonight and will not go back to Hefeng Courtyard. Zhixia, send a maid to Hefeng Courtyard to tell them to rest and not wait."
Zhixia and Ruixue were both stunned. Especially Zhixia, she couldn't believe her ears and couldn't help asking a stupid question: "Miss, what did you say?"
Miss Ye Qingning lost her temper again and glared at Zhixia impatiently: "Didn't I make it clear enough?"
Zhixia didn't dare to talk too much, so she quickly went to make arrangements.
After taking a bath, Ye Qinglan put on the snow-white middle coat that Ye Qingning specially ordered to send. I don't know what kind of material it was made of. It was thin and soft, and it was extremely comfortable to wear.
Ye Qingning also wore the same style of white tunic. She sat in front of the dressing mirror and let the maid wring her hair. A stick of sandalwood was lit in the room, and the faint fragrance soon spread in the room.
Ye Qinglan was actually very tired, but seeing Ye Qingning's attitude of planning to talk by candlelight at night, she had no choice but to cheer up and accompany her.
The life of a girl who has not left the palace is actually very boring and monotonous. She stays in the mansion every day and is always exposed to the same few people. Her daily pastime is reading, writing, playing the piano, painting, embroidering, etc., which is hard to get out of a year.
After a few visits to the house and a marriage arrangement, the chances of going out became even less.
After you get married, you can't even think about being free. You have to serve your parents-in-law and husband, manage the maids, wives, and servants, take care of a lot of trivial matters, have children, and deal with a lot of concubines...
Thinking of this, Ye Qingning let out a long sigh.
Ye Qinglan smiled and joked: "What's going on? Are you in a hurry to get married?"
Ye Qingning rolled her eyes at her: "Stop making fun of me, I don't want to get married! Just look at my sister-in-law and you will know that being a daughter-in-law is different from a young lady who has not left the court. She is obviously very miserable in her heart, but she still has to force a smile and pretend to be nonchalant.
Although I am not very close to her, every time I see her look like that, I feel bad."
Mentioning Cui Wan, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but asked with concern: "How is the new Aunt Cui?"
Ye Qingning shrugged casually: "She seems quite peaceful. Apart from greeting my mother every day, I basically stay in Qinfang Garden." As Cui Jing's concubine, she is not qualified to go to Changhe Hall every day to greet her.
Madam Jiang, please greet me.
"In your opinion, does my cousin like this new Aunt Cui?"
Ye Qingning hesitated for a moment before responding: "I can't say for sure. Anyway, the eldest brother has been staying in her house these days." Na Cuijing came over to pass on the family, and it was reasonable for Ye Yuanwei to get closer to her.
.However, I don’t think he was particularly nice to her.
In addition to Cui Jing, there are more opportunities for the two maids who are in the same room to attend the bed. Cui Wan, the first wife, quietly stepped aside. Although there were maids who were in the same room in the past, they all had to drink Bizi Soup. Occasionally, they had to drink Bizi Soup.
Just stay with her for a night or two and just tolerate it. But now, Cui Jing is a concubine sent by Cui Mansion, and her status is naturally different from that of the maidservant.
When Ye Qinglan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh. No wonder there was always a trace of loneliness and loneliness in Cui Wan's eyes. Which woman is willing to watch her husband sleep next to another woman every day?
Speaking of Cui Wan, the two of them sighed for a moment and lost interest in talking.
"It's night, go to sleep!" Ye Qingning said dullly.
Ye Qinglan responded. It had been a tiring day. Although she was full of worries, she quickly fell asleep.
Ye Qingning had never slept in the same bed with a girl of the same age. She thought she would be tossing and turning, but she never expected that she would sleep soundly and soundly that night.
The next morning, the sun was warm, illuminating the room.
Ye Qingning opened his eyes lazily. When he saw the sweet and pretty face sleeping so close to him, he was startled at first. Then he remembered that she took the initiative to invite Ye Qinglan to sleep in her room last night.
This kind of company feels pretty good! Ye Qingning thought quietly, the corners of her lips raised slightly. At this moment, Ye Qinglan also opened her sleepy eyes, rubbed her eyes childishly, and yawned again.
I am used to seeing Ye Qinglan's calm, controlled and gentle demeanor on weekdays. It is really interesting to see such a childish and cute side.
Ye Qingning had a rare desire to be narrow-minded, and stretched out his hand to pinch Ye Qinglan's cheek: "You are finally awake. You slept like a little pig."
Ye Qinglan blinked her big eyes, completely awake, and responded with a smile: "I was tired all day yesterday, and I didn't go to bed until midnight at night. It's strange that I'm not sleepy."
The beautiful and peaceful morning started with talking and laughing.
Ye Qingning was used to having breakfast with Mrs. Zheng, so she took Ye Qinglan to Luomeiyuan with her after she had packed up. As expected, Mrs. Zheng had already prepared it, and the dinner table was filled with all kinds of pasta and exquisite side dishes. Most of them were served by Ye Qingning
Love food.
"Sister Lan, I don't know what you like to eat, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some as usual." Mrs. Zheng smiled politely.
Ye Qinglan was naturally sensible and responded with a smile: "Auntie, you don't have to be polite. I'm not picky about food. I like to eat all these." Whether you are picky about food or not depends on whether you have the conditions. If someone pampers her like this, she might be better than
Ye Qingning is also picky about food.
Coincidentally, right after breakfast, Cui Wan and Ye Yuanwei arrived. Also with them was my new aunt Cui Jing.
Ye Qinglan's eyes naturally fell on Cui Jing.
The day after Cui Jing came over, she went to Dingguo Palace. Today was the second meeting between the two.
Cui Jing looked much calmer and calmer than when she first entered the door. She smiled and nodded to Ye Qinglan. But she didn't say much. She stood silently behind Cui Wan without breaking the rules at all. Even if she used more words
Looking at it with a critical eye, I can't find any shortcomings.
No matter what, Cui Jing is much stronger than Jiang Ying in every aspect.
Ye Yuanwei paid greetings to Mrs. Zheng and went to the Yamen to run errands. Ye Chengren also left, leaving a bunch of female relatives in the house.
Mrs. Zheng looked at Cui Jing and asked implicitly: "Aunt Cui, it's been more than a month since you came here. Is the monthly letter still on time this month?" Asking about the monthly letter is actually asking if she is pregnant.
If Cui Jing was pregnant as soon as she entered the house, she would be truly happy when she entered the house.
Cui Jing's face turned slightly red and she responded in a low voice: "Yue Xin is indeed a few days late. However, it has happened before. I am not sure..."
Cui Wan smiled. From the day Cui Jing came through the door, she had been mentally prepared to wait for this day to come. But she really didn't expect that this day would come so quickly and suddenly.
She felt sad, a little relieved, and more, but confused. All the feelings were mixed together, blending into a complicated and difficult to hide feeling. She didn't even know what to say, and her mind went blank.
Ye Qinglan was also quite surprised, and she and Ye Qingning looked at each other in confusion. This good news came so quickly! I really don’t know whether to praise Ye Yuanwei for his diligence in “sowing seeds” or to lament Cui Jing’s good luck.
Mrs. Zheng asked casually and didn't have high hopes. She never expected that what she got was good news, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? This is really great." As he said this, he said with annoyance.
He glanced at Cui Wan and said, "Why didn't you tell me such good news in advance?"
Cui Wan explained helplessly: "I just found out."
"Madam, please don't blame the young mistress." Cui Jing blushed and spoke for Cui Wan: "I wasn't sure whether I was pregnant, so I didn't tell the young mistress. I was afraid that both the madam and the young mistress would be happy in vain!
"
Mrs. Zheng was in a good mood, so she didn't care about these things: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Take care of yourself first, and in a few days, just ask a doctor to come over and diagnose your pulse." After that, he ordered Cui Wan again.
: "Ms. Cui, you have to take good care of her these days. Don't let Yuan Wei stay in her house. Just let Chuntao and Cai Lu take care of his daily life."
Cui Wan responded respectfully.
Ye Qinglan watched from the side and felt really aggrieved for Cui Wan. She only had to take care of her husband's daughter. Her husband's wife was pregnant and she had to take care of her as well. By the way, she arranged for other women to serve her husband on the mat.
What kind of life is this?
Of course, this trace of dissatisfaction and sympathy can only be suppressed in the bottom of my heart, but it cannot be revealed at this time.
Mrs. Zheng comforted Cui Jing kindly again, and then asked Cui Jing to go back and rest. Then she said to Cui Wan: "Ms. Cui, if she is really pregnant, it will be a good thing for you. As long as Yuan Wei has
After giving birth to an heir, you are the legitimate mother. You just need to be your young mistress in peace, and no one can take your place away."
Regardless of how sincere Zheng's words were, they were considered to appease Cui Wan.
Cui Wan responded with a smile: "My mother-in-law doesn't need to say this, my daughter-in-law also knows it in her heart. Please rest assured, mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law will take good care of her. There will never be any mistakes."
Mrs. Zheng smiled calmly and said, "You always do things properly, so I can rest assured."
There are so many dirty tricks for women in the back house that it is not difficult to get rid of an unformed fetus. Although Cui Wan is usually quiet and gentle, she is not the kind of cruel woman. But there is no guarantee that she will not have any thoughts due to jealousy.
Come on. What she just said was both comfort, reminder and warning.
Cui Wan was also smart. He quickly understood what she meant and immediately made her promise. This attitude finally satisfied her.
Cui Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the satisfaction in Zheng's eyes.
Such news naturally spreads very quickly. In less than a day, the news that Aunt Cui may be pregnant spread throughout Changyuan Bo's house. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation.
