What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 232
Hong Feng was well-behaved, hurriedly saluted and said congratulations to the master.

Meng Yuxi glanced at her, patted her on the shoulder and said she was satisfied.

When Meng Yuxi went back, he glanced at Jiaofang Palace again.

"It turns out that there is such a person in the world, let alone I envy her."

When she returned to her residence, she burst into tears, and Nanny Hong spent more than half an hour persuading her to stop.

"My father taught me since I was a child that the marriage of my daughter's family is for the benefit of her mother's family, and it is to repay the parents for their upbringing."

"That's what I've been doing for years"

"My father let me enter the palace, so I entered the palace at a young age. My father said that the family needs glory, so I worked hard to win favor"

If you don't look good, think of other ways.

A dignified lady, she has used all kinds of dirty tricks to compete for favor.

Therefore, he was able to survive in the harem of the first emperor, climb to a high position like Concubine Meng, and gain a firm foothold in the harem without children or daughters.

Of course, after the death of the first emperor, there is no need to enter the nunnery with the green lamp ancient Buddha.

All of this stems from the unspeakable bad moves she made when she was young.

Even now, the first emperor's concubines looked at her with contempt.

"I never cared about those things, as long as my father can continue to rise in the household department, as long as the Meng family is prosperous, I am willing to do anything"

"I thought women all over the world were like this, but I didn't realize until I saw the queen, so it's not like that."

Nanny Hong obviously knew what she meant.

"My lord Wang is in custody. Not only does the empress not beg for mercy, but she also praises the emperor's righteousness for killing relatives, and she is also interested in talking about love with the emperor. This is the first time I have seen such a heartless person, this old servant."

Meng Yuxi looked at the old nanny brought from Meng's house beside her, and thought that she had been by her side all these years to remind her, and that she had brought those methods that she was ashamed to mention from the wishful workshop outside the palace.

I don't feel a little ironic.

"right"

"Then Mammy thinks that as a woman, it is better to live like the empress, or is it happier that I have been contributing to the family like this?"

Of course the empress is alive and well.

At least she never had to consider other people's interests, and she liked marrying the emperor from the bottom of her heart, and her family never asked her to seek any benefits.

Nanny Hong was speechless, and Meng Yuxi laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

"Look at Lin Ximeng's clothes, indigo blue, embroidered with golden sunshine and silver cloud patterns, the color is so bright, it makes my eyes dizzy"

"Look at what I'm wearing again? No 40-year-old woman outside the palace would dress like this."

"What did I get in exchange for marrying a man... who is old enough to be my father? In exchange for my father's meritorious service in the household department?"

When it came to taking meritorious service to account for crimes, Nanny Hong's expression turned extremely ugly, so she opened her mouth anyway.

"There is something that the servants only inquired about."

"Since June, the emperor said that several new officials will come to the Ministry of Households to take office, and let the master wait for the order at home."

It means that there is no chance to make a mistake.

Meng Yuxi couldn't even smile wryly, and sat slumped on the ground with a numb expression.

"What the hell am I planning for in my life?"

"It's also entering the palace. At least Lin Ximeng has a young husband, a favorite of the emperor, and will have children in the future. She also has a younger brother who is highly appreciated by the emperor. I heard that she was promoted to a higher level recently, and the emperor rewarded her with money."

"What am I drawing?"

Nanny Hong buried her head again without saying a word.

Meng Yuxi gave her a straight look, with endless despair in her eyes.

"Forget it, you go down"

"Hey", Nanny Hong turned around and was about to leave.

Meng Yuxi suddenly stopped her and asked her how old she is this year, how long has she been in Meng's house, and how many years has she been serving in the palace?
Nanny Hong answered one by one, saying that this year is 46, and she has been in the Meng family for 20 years, and has been in the palace with you for about ten years.

Meng Yuxi seemed very satisfied, and let her go down with a smile.

"Tomorrow, take 20 taels of silver and go to the dining room to make a good table. Things are not going well recently, so I will go to the bad luck."

Nanny Hong left happily.

Hong Feng waited for her master to fall asleep without mentioning it.

The next day, Nanny Hong got up early to take meals.

In the morning, there are soft, glutinous and golden millet porridge, boiled eggs, stewed milk and bird's nest, and a row of more than 30 kinds of steamed dumplings, noodle cakes, and dim sum.

Toffee's meals are not bad.

It was rare for Meng Yuxi to taste everything, chewing slowly.

The dishes at noon are even better. The 20 taels of silver in the dining room are not for nothing. Several dishes on this table are prepared according to the standard of imperial cuisine.

Especially the Dongpo meat with bright red oil, the delicious and soft braised lamb's feet, the roast chicken full of oil, and the small desserts are sour plum soup and dried apricots, which are sweet and sour.

"Mother Hong, let's eat together"

Meng Yuxi warmly invited.

Grandma Hong's eyes were already bright, but the dignity of master and servant made her still dare not agree.

It was Meng Yuxi who said that she was an old nanny for many years and wanted to thank her for her care for so many years, so Nanny Hong pretended to thank her and sat down.

She has never seen anything good in such a long life, and it was the first time she ate such tasty and soft meat, and she was in a daze.

"Is this...the legendary Dongpo meat?"

"Is it delicious? If you like it, eat more." Meng Yuxi picked up another chopstick for her.

Sister Hong gulped it down, saying that the taste of the master is really good, it is soft and tasty, fragrant and glutinous.

Every time she was full and had sour plum soup as an appetizer, she wanted to continue eating.

She added three full bowls of rice for this meal, and each bowl was full of sharpness.

She could hardly walk when she went out.

Until the evening, my stomach was still full, and I even felt worse.

In the middle of the night, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and began to experience severe pain in her abdomen. She rolled several times in a row but did not get better, so she began to call for help.

It's a pity that Hongfeng is on duty and is not in the servant's room.

The concubine advocates simplicity, and there are not many servants, and they all live in the servants' room of the Longevity Palace, so her cries cannot be heard.

Such delays, torments, screams and roars, Mammy Hong's whole voice went straight to the hall through the air.

"Master, save me!"

"Help, God, who can help me"

Meng Yuxi put the pillow on her head happily, and ordered Hongfeng to close the doors and windows, along with a word of advice.

"Without my order, everyone will be deaf tonight"

The calls stopped in the middle of the night.

Meng Yuxi slept better, and even felt that the heat and mosquitoes in summer nights were more tolerable than before, and even the sound of frogs in the pond behind the house became clearer.

When she woke up again, she really heard the news.

"Grandma Hong is gone"

"what?"

She exaggeratedly squeezed out a few tears, and took a few steps back, as if she couldn't believe it.

Only she knows this is what she wants.

Nanny Hong, the woman who had been persuading her 360 to [-] days a day, saying that she would repay the kindness of the Meng family's parents, finally passed away.

No one kept nagging in her ears about what happened to her father, what happened to the Meng family, and what she should do as the daughter of the Meng family.

"From now on, no one will teach me to be a man, I am free"
