rich concubine

Chapter 601
As August approaches, the eldest princess prepares a trip to worship at Anyin Temple.

The first is to pay homage to the ancestors of the Jiang family and those who have passed away from the Jiang family, and the second is to pray for the children and grandchildren.

Rong Yi heard that August was the month when the Jiang family's army conquered the capital, and many heroic spirits stayed in that month. Every August, Prince An Ning's Mansion would go up the mountain to worship.

Not everyone is qualified to worship the Jiang family and the Jiang family army. I heard that in the past, the prince and the eldest princess went to the mountain to worship in person, and only those with special permission could follow.

Rong Yi originally thought that this trip to worship had nothing to do with her, but unexpectedly, someone came from the Ronghua Courtyard, a maid named Ruiqian, who respectfully brought a set of plain clothes and said, "This is Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess ordered the slave to bring it to you. Three days later, Madam Fu is asked to put on this set of clothes and go to Anyin Temple together."

Xin Rui quickly took it, Rong Yi raised her eyebrows and said, "Can I go this time too?"

Ruiqian glanced at her and said: "Not only you, Madam, but also the eldest and second young ladies of the Lu family, and Aunt Fang from Zhaifangju. I heard that Master Yi will also take the Young Master of the Chang family with him. , it’s very lively this time.”

It's not a surprise that Lu Ruyi and Lu Shiyi can go. With the eldest princess here, they must be brought with them. Chang Qing and Chang Heng... It's not too surprising that A Yi is here, but why are she and Fang Mingliang? ?
Rong Yi didn't understand. She smiled lowly and said, "Aren't we going to worship the ancestors this time? Why are there so many people going?"

Ruiqian said: "His Royal Highness said that the house is very lively this year. There is a big day in three days. It is not easy to leave all the guests at the house. The host goes up the mountain to worship the ancestors, so he simply brought everyone with him. To outsiders, it’s just a matter of going up the mountain to pray for blessings, but to my family, it’s still worshiping ancestors.”

It turns out that this worship trip was regarded as going up the mountain to pray for blessings, which makes sense.

Rong Yi was not enthusiastic about the trip in three days, but since she was asked to go, she naturally had to take it to heart.

After that, Xinrui sent Ruiqian away. Before leaving, Ruiqian was still looking around in the yard. Xinrui frowned slightly and asked politely: "What is Miss Ruiqian looking at?"

Ruiqian, who was suddenly called by name, was startled, quickly looked away, coughed slightly, and said: "It's nothing, I'm just curious. I heard that Young Master Xiao loves Madam Fu. Now that I see it, it's true. This is Changliu. It looks very luxurious.”

luxurious?Although it is not a derogatory term, for some reason, it sounded a bit harsh when it came out of her mouth. Xinrui pursed her lips, chuckled, and said: "I'm afraid Miss Ruiqian got it wrong. My wife is the best." It is low-key and simple, and the long-lasting plants and trees are not of any expensive species, they are all common things, so luxurious that I don’t know how.”

Hearing what she said, Ruiqian smiled dryly and said, "Miss Xinrui, please don't be modest. It is well known to everyone that Madam Fu is favored. She is also Young Master Xiao's concubine. I saw Aunt Fang's pick. Compared to Changliu, Fangju is really far behind."

She spoke normally and had a decent smile, but Xinrui felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she heard it, as if she was looking for trouble. She even compared it to Zhaifangju. Isn't this making a lot of trouble over nothing?
However, no matter how disgusted Xinrui was with the person who was thinking of her, Princess Ronghua, she would not point it out to her face. She would just smile and say: "Miss Ruiqian also said that they are all my concubines, so naturally they give me the things." It’s all the same, nothing is better.”

After finishing speaking, he was sent to the door. Xinrui breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't want to say another word to this person who had a knife hidden in his words.

He said: "I'll send it here, go slowly." Today's Ruiqian's neck is particularly stiff and her speech is tough. Seeing that Xin Rui is respectful and friendly to her, she can't help but feel proud.

She never expected that His Highness would send her to spread the news today. Normally, it would never be her turn to do these things. When she received the order from His Highness today, she was stunned for a long time and excited for a long time. She secretly said in her heart I was finally noticed by my master!

Now looking at all these people groveling to her, I couldn't help but feel proud in my heart, hum, so what about Master Xiao's concubine?Seems like she doesn't want to give him three cents of face.

Sure enough, even the current people are divided into three, six or nine. The servants who serve the concubine are three times shorter than the people in the eldest princess's courtyard.

Thinking of this, Ruiqian felt refreshed. She took a deep breath and said, "Where's Yu Heng? Why didn't I see her? Isn't she working as an errand with Madam Fu?"

I thought she was leaving, but she didn't expect that when she reached the gate, she stopped and asked about Yu Heng.

But Xinrui also felt strange. She didn't see Yuheng for a while, but... what does this have to do with her?She didn't look like she cared about Yu Heng. The arrogance in her tone and the tail behind her almost reached the sky.

Xinrui suppressed her impatience and said, "Yu Heng has other things to do."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Ruiqian chuckle. She covered her mouth and laughed disgustingly. She said: "That girl Yuheng, in front of us, she brags about how good she is by the lady's side and what errands she has done. How relaxing it is, now it seems like it's just a matter of having fun, let me just say, there's no way a maid like her deserves to serve her master."

Hearing these words, it was more than harsh. Although it was not her who was talking about it, Xinrui and Yuheng had always had a good relationship. Listening to unrelated people belittle her, it was as if she had been insulted. Xinrui tightened her grip. Looking at her sharp and mean face, I wanted to punch her, but thinking that she was sent by the eldest princess to tell the news, I suppressed my inner resentment, bit my back teeth, forced a smile, and said: " Really? I don’t know that Miss Ruiqian and Yu Heng are old acquaintances, but unfortunately you may not know her as well as I do. In my impression, Yu Heng is not someone who likes to brag. She is a down-to-earth person who does practical things, and...she also I’m not lying to you, she is indeed waiting by the master’s side, but Yuheng is careful in her work, and the master can rest assured that she will take care of the two young masters, and she is probably playing with them right now.”

Xinrui chatted, and Ruiqian's expression became worse and worse, and her eyes became colder. Just when she was about to say something, Shu Yong appeared from nowhere. He glanced at Ruiqian lightly, Then he said to Xinrui: "Why have you been out for so long? Madam is looking for you. You should know some rules after doing errands by Madam's side for so long. How can you be a servant and stay out for so long? Are you into talking to people?"

Xinrui blinked and understood the pronunciation of his words. She swallowed and glanced at Ruixian. She saw that her face had turned the color of pig liver. Seeing that she was aggrieved, she felt relieved and hurriedly said : "Oh! Look at me, you deserve to die! You'll be punished again when you go back soon."

After saying that, he said to Ruiqian: "Let's talk some other time. There are strict rules for staying here. It's broad daylight when I'm on duty. As a servant, I've been out for so long and chatted with you for so long. I really forgot. According to the rules, if the lady comes to see me, I will go back first, and you walk slowly."
