Chapter 862 Aunt Yan

Aunt Yan is an old palace maid in her forties who is in charge of Yan Hao's pregnancy in the palace.When Zhao Mingyue got married, Empress Dowager Zheng sent her to serve Zhao Mingyue for a month. In order to show that she treated Du Jinning as her own, she also sent Aunt Yan over this time.

However, because Zhao Yu had a concubine who was recently pregnant, Empress Dowager Zheng also explained to Du Jinning that Aunt Yan could not stay in Du's house for too long, and she had to go back to the palace in ten days.

When Aunt Yan arrived, Du Jinning said to her, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for being considerate and sending you to me, Aunt Yan. I'm fine now, and the palace cannot do without you. If Auntie wants to go back, I will send you here right now." Someone take you back?"

Aunt Yan didn't answer right away, but instead asked: "Where are the other court ladies and eunuchs? Are they going back together too?" She obviously knew that Du Jinning didn't need their services.

Du Jinning smiled and said: "That's exactly what I want to tell my aunt. The servants in my mansion are all from wild backgrounds, so I really don't care much about the rules. Now this is the Princess Mansion, and the servants who don't have the rules are the royal ones." Face. So I want to keep girls Rongli and Peili to stay in the mansion for one more month, and teach me the rules of servants in the mansion. I will send them back to the palace after a month."

Rong Li and Pei Li are slightly older among the four court ladies, they act calmly, and naturally learn the rules better than the younger ones.Du Jinning's request is reasonable.

But Aunt Yan was silent, and after a while she said: "Actually, this trip out of the palace was not ordered by the Empress Dowager, but by the servants themselves."

Du Jinning looked at Aunt Yan in surprise: "What's the matter, Auntie?"

Aunt Yan nodded: "I'm getting old, and I want to go out of the palace to take care of myself. I also taught a few apprentices in the palace, and there are concubines in the palace who are pregnant and have children, so I don't need me anymore."

She looked at Du Jinning: "The princess' ambition is not in the back house, but in helping to revitalize the country. She is broad-minded and generous. The slaves are willing to serve the princess."

With that said, she knelt down and made a big salute.

"Get up." Du Jinning was not used to being bowed down like this, not to mention that Aunt Yan was about the same age as Chen.

When Aunt Yan got up, she said: "I don't like to play tricks on people, so I just ask if I have anything to say. I want to ask Aunt Yan, a person like you is willing to come to any royal family you want, right?" When Princess Lu got married, why didn’t you propose to serve Princess Lu? The Empress Dowager’s love for her daughter, as long as you ask, she has no reason not to agree.”

You must know that someone like Aunt Yan not only takes care of the bodies of both men and women, prepares a reasonable diet, but also always pays attention to whether the woman is pregnant; she will take good care of her living habits, diet, etc. during pregnancy; When the woman gives birth to a child, she is also a very good stable wife.There are even insights into baby care.

This kind of talent can only be cultivated in places where there are more women of this kind in the palace, there are more pregnant women and children, and they can often be taught by the imperial physician.With such a person by her side, a woman has considerable security from the time she conceives to the time she gives birth.This is very rare in ancient times when giving birth to a child was like passing through the gate of hell.

Maybe Aunt Yan was not the only one in the palace, but when Zhao Mingyue got married, Empress Dowager Zheng sent Aunt Yan to the Princess Mansion to stay for a month, which showed that Aunt Yan was the best among them.

Although Du Jinning is now named the eldest princess, the emperor and the queen mother seem to value her very much, but Du Jinning knows that she and Zhao Mingyue are completely different in Zhao He and Queen Mother Zheng's hearts.They named her the eldest princess, not because they have feelings for her, but because she can research high-yielding rice, which is beneficial to the whole country.

If Zhao Mingyue gave birth to a child and died, they would be overwhelmed with pain; if she, Du Jinning, gave birth to a child and died, they would just express their regret and let it go.

So she couldn't understand why Aunt Yan wanted to go out of the palace to take care of herself, why she didn't choose Zhao Mingyue, but her.

"My servant has been in the palace for a long time, and I am tired of competing with others all day." Aunt Yan sighed, "Princess Lu is a good master, but the eunuchs and maids around her are all from the palace. The Xiao family is also an aristocratic family, and the servants have many children, and the relationship is complicated. The servants don't want to grow old, but they have to walk on thin ice, guarding against others to harm themselves all day long."

Du Jinning looked at her for a while, then nodded: "I understand. But Aunt Yan is an old man in the palace, so she can see clearly what my status is in front of the empress dowager and the emperor. It's not me who can deal with you. The final decision depends on what the Empress Dowager wants. I will ask the Empress Dowager when I enter the palace in the future. You will temporarily live in the mansion for a few days."

Aunt Yan let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you, princess."

Watching Aunt Yan leave, Du Jinning called Rong Li and Pei Li in, asked them what they meant, and asked them to stay.

Du Jinning asked Yao Shuqi to seal a few thick red envelopes, called the other people over, gave them the red envelopes himself, said a word of thanks, and asked Yao Shuqi to arrange a carriage to take them back to the palace.

After such a toss, it was time for dinner.

Du Jinning asked Rong Li and Pei Li to follow, and they went to Qi Mansion together.

Qi Muyuan was surprised, got into the carriage and asked Du Jinning, "Why did you ask them to follow?"

Du Jinning is cautious, and unless she has other plans, she will not let anyone who is not her confidant follow her; when no one is available, she would rather act alone.

"I was just going to tell you." Du Jinning glanced at him with a smile, "Mother is the wife of an aristocratic family. She is different from what we think. She has always paid attention to rules when getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It's just that I have a lot to do in the future, and I really don't have time and energy to serve my mother, so some special means may be used in the past few days to make her no longer demand me with rules. Do you have any opinions on this matter?"

Speaking of the Su family, Qi Muyuan was also helpless.

He said: "I know what kind of person my mother is, and I also know what kind of person you are. You just do it and don't need to worry about me. "

He let out a long breath: "You don't know, because of my mother, I have always respected those daughters from aristocratic families. Fortunately, I met you, otherwise I might be a bachelor for the rest of my life." He also couldn't say a word about his mother.

Du Jinning let out a "puchi" laugh: "It was I who saved you as co-author."

Qi Muyuan nodded solemnly: "Indeed."

When they arrived at Qi's mansion, Qi Bokun had just arrived home.A group of people sat in the hall.

In fact, the Qi family can be regarded as a family, far more than these few people.It's just that Qi Bokun was worried about harming his relatives during the battle to seize the heirloom, so he asked them to be released early.Later Zhao He came to power, Qi Bokun occupied such an important position, in order to avoid suspicion, it was not easy to arrange for relatives to come back.The Qi family members in the capital are all distant relatives, they had already had a wedding banquet yesterday, so naturally they will not be invited today.

Although Aunt Lin is an aunt, she is old and has served Qi Bokun for so many years.So Qi Bokun sent a message, asking her to come to the family banquet together.
