Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly and she asked calmly: "You are fine, why are you sick?"
This Xiuyun was the palace maid beside Queen Yu. She was rewarded to the Seventh Prince's Mansion one month before Sheng Hong and her wedding, and she became a trouble-making palace maid.
It's a pity that Sheng Hong didn't even meet Xiuyun once. This charming girl Xiuyun was placed in the most secluded courtyard of the inner house. She had no status and was not close to Sheng Hong. As time went by, she couldn't hold back.
Is Qu sick?
Xianghui was quite smart and obedient, and did not speak directly. She only said: "I don't know what I am doing."
"After all, Miss Xiuyun comes from the Jiaofang Palace. If the illness comes out, it will not be heard well. It will damage the reputation of the seventh prince and concubine. This slave has the courage to report it."
It's okay to leave Xiuyun alone. If Xiuyun died of illness in the inner chamber of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Xie Mingxi, the Seventh Prince's concubine who had just entered the house, would not be able to clear her mouth even if she had a long mouth.
Xie Mingxi said casually: "Find a doctor to diagnose and prescribe her."
Xiang Hui hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Actually, there is an imperial doctor in the mansion..."
Xie Mingxi glanced at Xianghui with a half-smile, and said calmly: "A palace maid is sick. It is kind to hire a doctor for her. It would be too flattering to ask an imperial doctor to treat her. I'm afraid she will suffer."
I can’t live with this blessing.”
The two imperial doctors came here specifically to take care of Sheng Hong. If Xie Mingxi was unwell, it would be okay to ask an imperial doctor to see her. It would be a joke for a mere Xiuyun to ask an imperial doctor to see her.
Xianghui responded with a slightly sarcastic expression.
"Xianghui,"
Xie Mingxi slowed down her voice: "I know that you are loyal to His Highness and do everything for His Majesty's sake. Xiuyun is a person close to the Queen Mother and should not be neglected. You made such a suggestion because you are worried that Xiuyun is seriously ill and will damage my reputation and the Queen Mother's reputation as well.
Not happy."
"It's just that His Highness has already stated his position in the Jiaofang Palace and will not touch Xiuyun. Sooner or later, I will send this troublesome palace maid out. There is no use in making any gestures now."
"Your Highness treats me wholeheartedly and does not want to mess with other women. How can I not accept this affection? Even if I get a reputation of being jealous, I don't care."
"What I just said was not directed at you. However, since you know my thoughts, you will know how to deal with this kind of thing in the future."
Xie Mingxi rarely explained to others so patiently.
Xianghui is the most respected and capable person around Sheng Hong, loyal and reliable. Xie Mingxi therefore gave Xianghui a little more dignity.
The sarcastic look on Xianghui's face disappeared, and she responded gratefully: "Thank you to the seventh prince, I know what to do."
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly.
…
On the same day, Xianghui sent for a doctor to examine Xiuyun and prescribe a prescription.
After taking the medicine for five days, Xiuyun's symptoms improved greatly.
Xiuyun expressed her gratitude to Xianghui, then took off the gold bracelet from her wrist and forced it into Xianghui's hand. Her slightly thin face was still bright and beautiful, even with a hint of flattery:
"Sister Xianghui, I'm new here and I'm not very familiar with the rules in the house. Please give me some advice, please."
Any advice?
How to give guidance?
Xianghui was so smart and transparent. She immediately chuckled and stuffed the bracelet back into Xiuyun's hand: "I have already reported your illness to the Seventh Princess. If the Seventh Princess had not spoken, I would not have dared to go to the doctor privately. You
My body has not recovered yet, so I just need to rest and recover. I absolutely cannot ask for this bracelet, so please put it away quickly."
Xiuyun wanted to stuff it back again: "I want to kowtow to the Seventh Prince's concubine to thank her, and I would like to ask Sister Xianghui to help me pass the message."
You are kowtowing to express gratitude, maybe you want to take the opportunity to show your face in front of Xie Mingxi!
In the past, Xianghui might have hesitated a moment or two. At this time, he responded without thinking: "The Seventh Prince and Concubine has already spoken, asking you to rest and recuperate, and there is no need to kowtow to express gratitude."
Xiuyun wanted to say something more, but Xianghui glanced at her pointedly: "It's better to be more peaceful in life, so that you can live a long and safe life. Sister Xiuyun, do you think so or not?"
Xiuyun: "..."
Xiuyun smiled somewhat reluctantly: "Sister Xianghui's words are reasonable. I will listen to her in everything."
…
Even Xianghui could see Xiuyun's little thoughts very clearly, let alone Xie Mingxi?
After Xie Mingxi heard about this from Xianghui, she didn't comment and smiled.
People who are not worth mentioning should be ignored.
Xie Mingxi did not ask, and Xianghui said no more, instead reporting: "There is one more thing that I want to report to the seventh prince's concubine. Ranmo is not young anymore, and has reached the age of marriage."
"Yesterday, Ran Mo came to me in private to beg me. He wanted to ask the seventh prince's concubine to arrange a marriage for her."
It has not been more than a month since Xie Mingxi married into the Seventh Prince's Mansion, and all the ladies in charge of the mansion have met one by one. Ran Mo, who is in charge of the warehouse, is naturally among them.
Ranmo originally belonged to the Sixth Princess, and then served the Seventh Prince for several years, with both merit and hard work.
Ran Mo was sent away from Sheng Hong early, what was the reason?
Sheng Hong never mentioned it, Xianghui avoided talking about it, and Xie Mingxi had already guessed it.
Now, Ran Mo has taken the initiative to propose marriage, and he has obviously already figured it out.
Throw away the extravagant hopes that you shouldn't have, get married and have children as soon as possible, and work as a steward in the seventh prince's palace in the future. You will have a place based on your past achievements.
Xie Mingxi nodded slightly: "Go and ask Ran Mo to come over."
Xianghui and Ranmo have known each other for many years and have always had a certain friendship. Seeing Xie Mingxi's relaxed expression, she felt happy in her heart and hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, I'll go right now."
After a while, Ran Mo, a pretty girl in green palace clothes, walked in.
"My slave dyed ink has met the seventh prince's concubine."
Ranmo knelt down and saluted respectfully.
Xie Mingxi glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Without courtesy, get up and talk."
Ranmo thanked him and stood up.
Yanmo was already in her twenties, with a slim figure. She was dressed in a green palace dress, which made her fair skin and appearance extraordinarily pretty. At this time, her pretty face looked respectful.
Xie Mingxi has been in charge of palace affairs for many years and is well versed in showing kindness to her subordinates. Now that Ran Mo has fully recognized his identity and is no longer wishful thinking about things he shouldn't think about, she is not stingy about giving Ran Mo some sweet treats.
"Ran Mo," Xie Mingxi said with a light smile on her face and a rather gentle voice: "Since you want to ask for a marriage, you might as well tell me what kind of husband you want to marry?"
Sheng Hong has a thousand bodyguards under his command. These princely bodyguards are all clean-blooded and have outstanding skills. Half of them are not yet married. Even the commander-in-chief of Zhou is not yet married.
Ranmo took the initiative to propose marriage, thinking that he already had someone he fell in love with.
Sure enough, when Xie Mingxi asked, Ran Mo suddenly became shy: "The Seventh Prince and Concubine have the final say."
Xie Mingxi smiled and said, "In that case, how about I betroth you to Eunuch Wei?"
