Xu Yi looked at Ah Si, "It's baffling. Why are you so shameless after seeing it?"
"It's obvious that I said I've seen someone who has grown up well. I've seen many prodigals like you." Ah Si turned around and walked away.
Xu Yiyi was startled. He grabbed Ah Si and pushed her against the wall. He placed one hand on the wall and caged Ah Si under his powerful shadow. His big face approached and said seriously: "Tell me clearly, who is the disciple?"
son?"
Ah Si was startled and hurriedly pushed his palms to his face, "What do you want to do?"
With a push of her hand, her fingers touched Xu Yi's eyes. Xu Yi quickly reached out and slapped her, and Ah Si also reached out and slapped her. The two of them started fighting each other like this.
Xu Yi was furious, "You are really unreasonable. Don't think I'm afraid of you people with the surname Yuan. You always say I'm stupid, but I don't care about you. Now you're plucking my eyes out when you say I'm a slut."
Ah Si said angrily: "I'm just joking with you, don't you think you know this?"
"You don't have a pig brain."
"If you're not a pig-brained person, who is?" Ah Si stepped forward and said angrily.
Seeing that she was about to take action again, Xu stretched out his hand and pushed her away, "Get away..."
There was a bang in Ah Si's head. Looking at the position where his hand was touching, his face suddenly turned red and he roared in shock, "Xu Yi, you deadbeat, how dare you look down on me?"
She jumped up and slapped Xu Yi on the face.
Xu Yi covered his face with one hand, and slowly took back the other hand. He looked at his palm in surprise, then looked at her chest, his face became very frightened, "Oh my god, you are actually a woman."
"Don't you fucking know I'm a woman?" Ah Si roared.
Xu Yi shrank his neck, a little aggrieved, "You are always making noises, who would have thought that you are a woman?"
"You are looking for death!" Ah Si raised his fist and rushed over. Seeing that the momentum was not right, Xu Yi ran away with his tail between his legs.
In such a fuss, Xu Yi actually forgot about that familiar figure from behind.
Grandma Xi and Ah Si went out to recruit people the next day. Just as Grandma Xi said, they were looking for a woman who knew boxing and kicking skills and could withstand several moves under Ah Si's hands, but they couldn't find them.
If you are looking for other maids to serve, there is no need to look outside. It would be better for Grandma Xi to go into the palace and explain it to the Queen Mother and select a few people who know the rules.
Therefore, Aunt Xi focused on training Man'er so that she could serve the princess at an early date.
Aunt Xi said: "Although you have spent some time in the Chu Mansion, the Chu Mansion has the rules of the Chu Mansion, and the Chu Prince's Mansion has the rules of the Chu Prince's Mansion. This is not..."
Man'er suddenly interrupted Grandma Xi's words, so shocked that her eyes almost fell out, "What did you say? This is Prince Chu's Mansion?"
Aunt Xi looked at her strangely, "Don't you know? It's written on the deed."
"I..." Man'er's face turned pale, "I can't read."
Aunt Xi looked at her, "Is there any problem? What happened to Prince Chu's Mansion?"
Man'er remembered that she had finally been taken in by someone, but she didn't expect that she had entered the Chu Prince's Mansion in a daze. Hey, if she had known it was the Chu Prince's Mansion, she would not have come. She had fought with the Chu King before, and the Chu King recognized her.
The King of Chu will definitely not let her go.
"Man'er, is there a problem?" Aunt Xi looked at her suspiciously.
Man'er shook his head, "No, no, I'm just afraid that the palace has strict rules and I might make a mistake."
"That's why I will teach you the rules, just remember them." Aunt Xi said.
Man'er let out a frustrated sound.
Princess Ji came here once a day, dragging her heavy body with illness. Yuan Qingling treated her first and then went to Prince Huai's Mansion.
After a few days, there was no need to go to Prince Huai's Mansion, so he could just focus on treating Princess Ji.
On Yu Wenhao's side, the case has been settled. Tingjiang Mansion has dealt with a large number of officials and beheaded three people, including Princess Ji's cousin Mo Wen.
Therefore, when Princess Tianji came over this day, her whole body was trembling.
After several days of treatment, Princess Ji didn't say much, except to ask about her condition.
And Yuan Qingling didn't say unnecessary words. She usually went back to rest after the injection was done, and then came out after the treatment was completed. The conversation between the two was almost zero except for consultation.
However, when she got the needle that day, Princess Ji actually looked at Yuan Qing and said, "Can I say a few words to you?"
Yuan Qingling sat down on a chair far away from her, "Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No!" Princess Ji was wearing a double mask, so her voice was a bit muffled when she spoke, "The condition is progressing very well, much better than before."
"Then what do you want to say?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Princess Ji raised her head and looked at Ah Si and Nanny Xi, "Can they go out?"
"Princess Ji, please tell me if you have anything to say." Aunt Xi said.
Princess Ji smiled bitterly, "Are you afraid that I will harm her? I am really not qualified now. My life is in her hands. You all can go. I just want to find someone to say a few words."
Yuan Qing Ling nodded to Grandma Xi and Ah Si and motioned for them to go out.
If you have nothing to do today, just chat with her.
After Grandma Xi and Ah Si went out, Princess Ji took a deep breath and looked at her, "That day you said there was something wrong with my medicine. I went back and checked, and it was indeed the folk prescription I used and the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor.
The medicine conflicted, so my condition made no progress but got worse."
"Well, just find out." Yuan Qing Ling said.
"Do you know who found that folk remedy for me?" Princess Ji asked.
"Prince Ji?" Yuan Qingling raised her eyes.
Princess Ji smiled bitterly, "You didn't even have to think about it? You knew it was him immediately."
Yuan Qing was speechless. There was no need to think about it. A folk remedy that could be accepted by such a thoughtful person as Princess Ji would not be handed over by a random person.
Princess Ji's eyes were suddenly filled with resentment, "I married him when I was sixteen years old. Since I entered the palace, my heart and eyes have been full of him. I know his ambitions, plan for him, know his preferences, and work for him, no matter what.
He has never been stingy with his thoughts and money. Over the past ten years, my family has spent more than one million taels of money on him, which gave him the power and connections he has today."
"He has ambitions, don't you? Rather than fulfilling him, you might as well say that you are investing?" Yuan Qingling said calmly.
"Ambition? Investment?" Princess Ji laughed. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes made her look like a woman in her forties, but she was less than thirty.
"A sixteen-year-old newlywed is full of anxiety and joy. Looking at her husband-in-law, she dreams of beautiful days, serving him daily, giving birth to children for him, and growing old together with him. This is what I first
Ambition. But my efforts gradually stopped seeing rewards. He was used to my efforts, used to eating my flesh and blood, used to me working hard for him, and I didn’t see the slightest bit of it in his eyes.
I am grateful and contented, but I don’t see a trace of tenderness and sweetness. All I see is calculation, measurement, indifference, and the hypocrisy that I work hard to create. Can I still be pure like this? I have to be convinced.
For myself, I also have to be ambitious, I also have to pursue, and I also have to be ruthless to be worthy of the years I have spent."
