"If you have anything to do, just say it." Mrs. Sun was always very kind and kind in front of the prince.
Shen Qiuyu looked over with a smile.
The prince didn't think it was a big deal, so he smiled casually and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. My cousin just gave me a maid, and I'll take it back to the house when I leave later."
Before Mrs. Sun could react, she smiled without thinking: "She's just a maid. Why do you need to talk to me about such a trivial matter..." At this point, she suddenly felt something was wrong: "That maid What’s it called?”
Shen Qiuyu seemed to have thought of something, her face changed slightly, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
Unfortunately, this premonition came true! The prince responded in an understatement: "That maid's name is Haitang."
Shen Qiuyu's smile froze.
Mrs. Sun was also shocked, and glanced at Shen Qiuyu subconsciously before saying: "The other maids are just fine, but this Haitang was specially chosen by me to be the wife of Xinian. You... "
The prince smiled nonchalantly and said, "My cousin has just married his beloved wife. It's a time when we are inseparable and we can't see other women. Grandma, don't worry about it." After a pause, he added: " This Haitang looks a bit similar to Yu'er. If he really stays with his cousin, I'm afraid some unsavory rumors will spread if someone sees him. It will inevitably hurt the relationship between me and him. It's better for me to accept her as my concubine, then there will be no problem."
After all, the prince still cares about the relationship between Shen Qiuyu and Gu Xinian. If Gu Xinian really takes in a maid who looks like Shen Qiuyu, he will definitely be very uncomfortable. Rather than that, It's better to enjoy this wonderful blessing by yourself and solve Gu Xinian's urgent need, which is killing two birds with one stone.
Hearing what the prince said, Mrs. Sun was speechless. She could only force a smile and said, "What you said makes sense. It was my lack of consideration before that I didn't think of this. In this case, Just take Haitang back to the Prince's Mansion. Take care of her more in the future, which can be regarded as a blessing she has gained in this life."
The prince perked up and nodded with a smile.
Shen Qiuyu's breath was stuck in her throat. She couldn't go up or down, not to mention how suffocated she was. Her hands were clenched into fists in her sleeves, and her long nails pinched her palms with pain...
What a Gu Xinian! This move was so cruel and vicious!
She secretly selected such a maid, trained her for a long time in private, and secretly hooked up with Sun. She sent Begonia here just to make things difficult for Ye Qinglan. In order to appreciate Ye Qinglan's ugly face, she spent a lot of time today. After much effort, she persuaded the prince to take her to Dingguo's palace. She never expected that she would be defeated by an entire army!
The prince saw that her expression was not very good, and he was slightly unhappy: "Yu'er, don't you mind if I bring a maid back to the house!" In the past few years, the beauties sent to the prince's house in various ways were secretly and openly used. How many? Shen Qiuyu has always been very generous and has never shown a sour or jealous face. Today she just asked for a maid. What is her reaction?
Could it be that she hoped that Gu Xinian would have such a maid who looked exactly like her?
When he thought about this, the prince's mood was not very good.
Shen Qiuyu knows better than anyone what kind of person the prince is. As soon as he heard these words, he knew that he was over-pretentious again. He quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "His Highness said this, you really wronged me. I was thinking just now , which courtyard should we arrange for this Haitang girl to live in?"
Judging from the prince's expression, he was obviously quite satisfied with this answer.
At this time, Haitang already knew the fate of being given away, and was a little reluctant at first. When she heard that the other party was actually a dignified prince, her reluctance suddenly turned into a surprise. Compared with being Gu Xinian's The concubines of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are certainly even better. If they can win the favor of the Crown Prince, once the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, he might have a chance to be made a concubine or something...
The more Haitang thought about it, the happier she became, and she happily packed her luggage. Ye Qinglan personally led Haitang to Shunyi Hall, and said to Shen Qiuyu with a smile: "Concubine Shen, I will leave Haitang to you."
The moment their eyes met, Shen Qiuyu clearly felt the ridicule and sarcasm in Ye Qinglan's eyes, and the smile froze at the corners of her lips.
Obviously, Ye Qinglan already knew the true origin of Haitang. By deliberately saying this now, he was deliberately trying to spite her.
Begonia on the side looked at Shen Qiuyu blankly, with a lot of exclamation marks in her heart! She also vaguely knew that she looked like the same person, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she realized how amazing the similarity was. However, The elegant and beautiful woman in front of me has excellent temperament, but she is far behind.
However, she is not bad. At least, she is much younger than her! Haitang encouraged herself secretly in her heart. Since His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to accept her, he must also like her. As long as she serves His Highness the Crown Prince well, she will be prosperous and wealthy. Life is absolutely indispensable.
Haitang, immersed in joy, obediently followed the prince and his entourage back to the house.
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Shen Qiuyu ordered someone to arrange a place for Haitang to live. That night, the Prince rested in Haitang's house.
There is no need to go into details about how angry and aggrieved Shen Qiuyu felt. Fortunately, for the sake of caution that day, she just secretly ordered the people around her to buy the two maids Begonia and Shaoyao and put them on the Zhuangzi, and they were not exposed from the beginning to the end. Therefore, Haitang, who was so surprised that she flew up the branch, had no idea that her real master was Shen Qiuyu.
Of course, such a thing cannot be hidden from Crown Princess Mo.
The next morning, when Haitang came to greet her, Mrs. Mo looked at her carefully and couldn't help but secretly marvel.
This Begonia is indeed very similar to Shen Qiuyu back then. Maybe her appearance and temperament are a bit different, but men are all greedy for fresh and young newcomers. Look, didn't the prince stay in her room last night? Look at this At least he will be favored for a while.
Madam Mo asked a few questions casually, and when she found out that Gu Xinian had gifted Haitang to the prince, she was surprised and amused. After Shen Qiuyu came, she deliberately smiled and said, "Your Highness is really lucky. .I went to Duke Dingguo’s Mansion and brought back such a beauty as beautiful as a flower. If I look closely, I see that she looks somewhat similar to Concubine Shen!”
Shen Qiuyu was so angry that she couldn't sleep well all night. Hearing these words that pierced her heart felt like needles pricking her heart. But a nonchalant smile appeared on her face: "Oh? I don't think she looks like me."
Mo's correction: "You are like you seven or eight years ago. You are now twenty-four years old, and you are very different from before. Looking at Haitang, it makes people feel very friendly, as if you had just entered It’s the same as when I was in the government.”
...just short of directly ridiculing her that she has lost her youthful beauty as she has grown old.
Shen Qiuyu was stabbed in a painful spot, and her blood surged. She had a rare disadvantage in terms of mouth and tongue.
But there is nothing wrong with what Mo said. Time is not forgiving, and no matter how beautiful your appearance is, it will gradually age one day. Although Shen Qiuyu confidently insists that she is still unparalleled in beauty, she also knows very well that she is indeed beautiful now. It cannot be compared with when I was fifteen or sixteen years old when my appearance was at its peak...
At this time, the prince happened to listen to Gu Xinian's words and brought back a beauty who looked like him but was much younger than him. What was even more annoying was that this beauty was still prepared to cause trouble for Ye Qinglan.
Is this considered stealing the chicken but losing the rice?
Seeing Shen Qiuyu's uncertain expression, Mrs. Mo felt very happy.
This is the second time for Haitang to see Shen Qiuyu. Instead of being shocked at the beginning, she feels more confident. His Highness the Crown Prince said last night that he likes her very much...
Haitang was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard the Crown Princess saying with a smile: "Haitang, since His Highness has brought you back to the palace, I can't let you live here without a name or status. When His Highness comes back in the evening, I will discuss it with him and give you a As a concubine, you must do your best to serve His Highness from now on. If you can conceive a son and a half daughters, it will be a great achievement."
Being a concubine? Are you still qualified to get pregnant and give birth to a child?
Haitang could hardly believe her ears, and she was so surprised that she knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
Shen Qiuyu watched helplessly as Mo used her gentle tactics to subdue Begonia, almost breaking a mouthful of silver teeth. She was actually better at this kind of method, but facing that face that looked like her own, Shen Qiuyu only felt that My diaphragm is so painful that I don’t want to take another look at it. What other tricks can I use!
...
The prince was indeed very interested in Haitang and stayed overnight in Haitang's house for several days. Suddenly, Haitang became a famous celebrity in the inner courtyard of the prince's residence.
What interests everyone the most is, of course, Haitang's appearance. She looks so similar to Concubine Shen, and is much younger than Concubine Shen. It's no wonder His Highness loves the newcomer. If this continues, His Highness may have a crush on Shen. The favor of the concubine will gradually fade away. Men are all greedy for novelty. With a young and beautiful newcomer, who is willing to take another look at the older one...
All kinds of rumors circulated endlessly in the Prince's Mansion, and some of them would always reach Shen Qiuyu's ears. Shen Qiuyu was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
It's a pity that rumors are something that can't be seen or touched. People just talk about it in private. No matter how powerful Shen Qiuyu is, he can't control what others say and what they think in their hearts! He has been so angry for several days that he eats it. I couldn't sleep well without getting up, and I lost weight all over.
Naturally, the movements in the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion could not be hidden from Gu Xinian.
After he received the news, he leisurely shared it with Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan also felt very relieved after hearing it: "Is Shen Qiuyu shooting himself in the foot?"
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, and a coldness flashed in his eyes: "This is just the beginning."
