Wen Xiaotu was not arranged in Tuxiang Pavilion, mainly because Tuxiang Pavilion was too small and had not been lived in for many years. In contrast, Danruo Garden was spacious and elegant. It is said that this place was used to entertain close relatives and distinguished guests.
Every decoration in the courtyard was exquisite. Mrs. Xu personally brought four maids and four mothers-in-law that night.
Seeing Mrs. Xu again, Wen Xiaotu found that her eyes were a little red, and couldn't help but ask: "Your eyes..." Have you cried?
Mrs. Xu smiled quickly and said: "The wind and sand have confused my eyes, so it doesn't matter."
There was no wind at all today... but it was not easy to break. He quickly took the initiative to make a cup of tea for Mrs. Xu and said, "Please take a sip of tea to moisten your throat."
Mrs. Xu took the tea. She looked at Twelve Niang's clear eyes and couldn't help but think of her Tu Tu... She counted her nose and her eyes became moist again, "When the Xian Sheng Queen entered the palace, it was also
About the same age as you."
Wen Xiaotu was stunned. It turned out that he was sad for Wen Rutu's death...
At this moment, Wen Xiaotu really didn't know how to comfort Mrs. Xu - she couldn't reveal her identity, right? To put it bluntly, the importance of Mrs. Xu in her mind was not that of porridge and rice.
A heavyweight.
Besides, the thing of resurrecting a dead body would be too scary for an old feudal man.
What's more, she is not Wen Rutu.
Mrs. Xu quickly wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "As I get older, I always like to talk about things that are not true."
Mrs. Xu quickly changed the subject: "By the way, the emperor has told you how to arrange it for you?"
Wen Xiaotu said obediently: "The emperor said that he would ask the Duke's Mansion to accept me as his successor."
Mrs. Xu nodded: "Yes, my father-in-law and I will arrange your adoption as soon as possible, but what about after the adoption? Has the emperor told you how to arrange your next step?"
Wen Xiaotu understood. Mrs. Xu wanted to ask her what position the emperor planned to give her.
Wen Xiaotu really didn't ask the emperor about this.
She shook her head: "The emperor never said anything, and I never asked."
Anyway, you won't treat her badly, right? In her previous life, she was already a noble concubine, and she was granted the title of queen after her death.
Of course, Wen Xiaotu didn't dare to expect to be the queen directly. The position of queen was no small matter, but she was still the fourth concubine after all, right?
The emperor arranged for her to join the Duke's palace, also with the intention of promoting her background, so he would not wrong her in terms of position.
Thinking of this, Wen Xiaotu felt relieved, "It's just...father, will he agree?" - Wen Li is a master who sells his daughters for glory. As long as his daughter has some use value, Wen Li will
Will not let go easily.
When mentioning Uncle Yan En, a look of disgust flashed across Mrs. Xu's eyes. She hid her lips and said, "Don't worry, I will discuss it with him personally."
Wen Qi always valued blood ties, but Wen Xiaotu was a little worried - but then he thought about it, this matter was the emperor's order, which meant that the emperor was in charge, so there should be no problem.
What's more, in terms of appearance, she is not as good as Wen Ruzhu, and in terms of background and talent, she is not as good as Wen Ruyu. In Wen Li's eyes, her value is not great.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask the emperor who was behind Fang Wanyi’s command!
Alas, forget it, there will be plenty of time in the future.
Have a good night's sleep.
When she woke up the next day, several quiet and smart girls helped her change clothes and wash up. Only then did Wen Xiaotu remember the little girl Si'er whom he had forgotten, "Where is my personal maid?"
"Girl, please have breakfast first. I will call Si'er right now," said Liuzhi, the eldest girl of Dan Ruoyuan.
Danruo is another name for pomegranate, and the girl that Mrs. Xu arranged to serve is either a pomegranate branch, a pomegranate flower, a pomegranate fruit, or a pomegranate fire, which is quite suitable for the occasion.
The Wen family is different from the past after all. Even the breakfast is many times richer than before. Naturally, it is still inferior to that in the palace. But compared with the previous days in Yanen's Mansion, it is already heaven and earth.
Just after breakfast, Liuzhi made her face turn pale, and the trembling Si'er walked in. As soon as Si'er saw his girl, he cried "Wow" on the spot, "Girl, just be okay.
!This slave is so scared to death!"
Wen Xiaotu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Didn't I tell you, that's the eunuch in the palace."
Si'er sobbed: "But, but... the father-in-law in the palace is really scary!"
"Okay, okay!" Wen Xiaotu quickly comforted her and handed her a plate of untouched steamed dumplings, "You're hungry, let's eat something first to satisfy your hunger."
For the little girl Si'er, a plate of delicious steamed dumplings is a top-notch delicacy. With delicious food, Si'er didn't cry and said quickly: "Thank you, girl." Then she took it to the corridor to enjoy it.
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but laugh, and asked Liuzhi to bring her a cup of sweet soup and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. These four gluttons, if someone hadn't been watching, would have licked the dishes clean.
"The food in the Duke's Mansion is really delicious." Si'er licked the corners of his mouth, still looking like he wasn't full.
Wen Xiaotu didn't dare to feed her any more, lest she burst her belly.
In the past, as the personal maid of a little concubine in Yan En's Mansion, she could not eat anything decent, and she often even didn't have enough to eat.
But if I follow her in the future, I won't have to go hungry or be bullied.
The girl Liuhua walked in quickly: "Girl, Madam is here to visit you."
Wen Xiaotu was startled, and quickly stood up to greet her. She blessed Mrs. Xu, "I should have gone to greet you..."
Mrs. Xu smiled and helped her up, "You sprained your foot, it's important to take good care of it."
Of course Wen Xiaotu knew that she had "sprained her ankle" and was left by the Duke's wife to recuperate.
Mrs. Xu added: "The emperor secretly sent many things. The servants in the palace must not neglect them, so I hurriedly brought them over."
While talking, Mrs. Xu hurriedly called for the servants to come in.
Good guy, there are four or five nuns, six or seven eunuchs, and a dozen palace maids, all of whom have their arms filled with messy things, including silk and satin jewelry, the four treasures of the study, and pastries from the inner court—that’s all, but why are there still gilded items?
Gold and copper basins, glass mirrors, Western pendulum clocks - and a huge dressing table!
The corners of Wen Xiaotu's mouth twitched. She was in the Duke's Mansion. Was she in need of food or a washbasin?!
It’s like moving house!
The leader was still an acquaintance of hers, Xiao Yinzi, the former leading eunuch of Changyi Palace - Liang Wankuan's apprentice. There were also old people among the maids in the palace, including Qiu Sang, who had taught her in the past, and others who had served her.
The palace ladies Tongxia and Xiaolu.
"The emperor's reward is too generous." Wen Xiaotu had to say to Xiao Yinzi, "I would also like to ask my father-in-law to convey my gratitude to the emperor for me when he gets back."
Xiao Yinzi bowed and said: "The emperor has spoken, and the slaves will stay in the palace to serve you, my wife."
Wen Xiaotu:...will you all stay?
Mrs. Xu on the side was already shocked, "Are these... all of them left to serve the Twelve Mothers?"
Xiao Yinzi smiled and said: "That's natural."
Mrs. Xu felt uneasy for a moment. Did the emperor like Twelve Niangs too much, or... he couldn't trust the government?
