Daughter of the prosperous age: the multi-faceted prince and the only favorite concubine

Chapter 26

Jun Xi was served by Pearl, put on the veiled hat, went out to Xiao He, and deliberately persuaded: "Your mother has been buried in the ground, I will ask you to get some silver for you, you can go home and live well."

Xiao He naturally would not agree, she kowtowed and begged: "Miss, I don't want money, so let me stay and serve you."

Junxi then asked: "Where is your father? Are there other relatives?"

Xiao He shook her head and said: "I have never met my father, so I can only live with my mother. Now that my mother is dead, I have no other relatives."

Tears welled up in Yun Xi's eyes under the veiled hat, and she asked with a crying voice, "What's your name?"

Xiao He replied: "The little girl was born in June, and my mother named me Xiao He. Please, Miss, I will work hard."

Yun Xi felt that the play was almost done here, she stepped forward to help Xiao He up with her own hands and said, "If this is the case, follow me."

Butler Qin and Zhuzhu both wanted to stop her, but Yunxi stopped her: "Zhuzhu, take her down to wash and change clothes, and then bring her to Tingxuelou." After speaking, she ignored them, turned and entered the gate.

Although Housekeeper Qin and Pearl felt that something was wrong, they did not dare to disobey Yunxi's wishes, so they had to follow her orders.

Jun Xi went back to Tingxue Building and looked at the layout of the small building in detail. The first floor is the main hall and the left and right side halls, which are used for entertaining guests.The three rooms on the second floor are not completely separated.In the middle is Yunxi's bedroom, one of the two next to it is used as a wing room, and the other one is equipped with a desk and embroidery stand when the sun is shining, where Yunxi can read and embroider on weekdays.The small building is facing the lake, standing in front of the window on the second floor, you can have a panoramic view of the General Military Mansion.There are wing rooms on the left and right verandas of the small building, which should be used by the servants or other sundries.

Jun Xi stood in front of the window on the second floor with tea in his hands and slowly looked at the scenery, but he was thinking about Mu Jing, wondering when he would leave tomorrow?It's a pity that I can't deliver him tomorrow. I don't know if he will write a letter to me.

After some time, Pearl opened the curtain and walked in, Fushen said: "Miss, Xiao He has packed up and is waiting outside the door."

Junxi turned around and asked Pearl, "Pearl, how long have you been serving sister?"

"The servant girl has been with the eldest lady since she was a child, and it has been seven or eight years now." Zhu Zhen replied respectfully, not knowing what Yun Xi meant.

"I think my sister is usually so busy, she must be inseparable from you." Yunxi continued.

Pearl didn't dare to reply, but her head lowered lower and lower.

Jun Xi then said: "How about this, after you teach Xiao He the rules, go back to your sister, and I'm sure you won't be used to it without your sister."

Seeing Pearl, she was about to speak, but Yun Xi didn't give her a chance, and said, "Go and call Xiao He in."

Pearl answered yes in a low voice, and exited the room without saying a word.

As soon as Xiao He came in, she knelt down directly to Yun Xi to thank Yun Xi for taking her in.

"You don't need to be too polite, get up. She's such a pretty girl, no wonder that 'fat intestine' is so obsessed with it." Yun Xi smiled.After tidying up, it is really different. Although it is the most common maid's dress in the mansion, Xiaohe's Qingcheng appearance can't be concealed no matter what.

Pearl next to her and Xiao He who was about to get up both burst out laughing.Pearl suppressed a smile and said, "The second miss is really similar to the eldest miss. When the eldest miss was in the capital, she also said that a self-righteous son looks like a bamboo pole, with a pointed mouth, thick skin and a hollow belly."

With a sound of "poof", all the tea that Yun Xi just took in was contributed to the ground, she said in surprise: "So when my sister was still so naughty, I didn't see it at all."

Pearl sighed deeply, and said, "Actually, this happened more than five years ago. Since Miss's father, General Shen, died in a border war five years ago, and the eldest princess was so sad that she couldn't get sick, Miss suddenly grew up. Growing up. In fact, she has been taking care of the eldest princess and the young master all these years, but the young lady herself has never been as happy as before."

"Young master? Does my sister have a younger brother? Why didn't you bring Jiangnan?" Yunxi asked in surprise.

"Yes, the young master is one year younger than the young lady, but he is about the same age as the second young lady. If the young master wants to go to school, he will stay in Shen Xiang's mansion and be taught by Shen Xiang himself." Pearl replied in a tone full of pride, and then suddenly came to her senses. : "Your servant has talked too much, let's make a fuss with the lady. Let the lady rest for a while, and I will tell Xiaohe about the affairs of the mansion."

Junxi also felt that after sitting in the carriage for half a day, she couldn't count on her body, so she was served by Pearl and Xiaohe, changed her clothes and lay down.

In the Chu mansion, Mrs. Chu was furious when she heard her servants come back and report that her favorite grandson had been taken away by Chu Weijing.

Lin'an Xuezheng Chu Yuanliang also loves his youngest son very much, but he is a sensible person, so he managed to persuade his mother, and went to the General Military Mansion to ask for someone, but was stopped by the gatekeeper and said: "Your Highness is tired today. It's over, the son-in-law is taking care of it, no guests."

Chu Yuanliang was furious in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, his concubine was half a rank higher than himself, and he was still the emperor's confidant, not to mention the eldest princess Lingxi was involved.

Although Chu Weijing knew that Princess Lingxi's discomfort was just an excuse, if Chu Weijing insisted on saying that his youngest son bumped into Princess Lingxi's car and acted impartially, he might even feel bad about himself.So he had no choice but to go back home, no matter how angry his mother scolded him, he refused to go to the General Military Mansion again.

The eldest wife of the Chu family, Bai Shi, pinched the handkerchief and begged: "Master, what should we do? Shen'er is weak, so what if there is something wrong?"

Chu Yuanliang yelled angrily: "That's his own uncle, but if you teach him a lesson, can you still harm him?"

Bai's suffering was even worse: "What uncle, it's almost as good as an enemy? Back then, my mother almost killed him and forced his wife to run away. Now that he has returned to the south of the Yangtze River, doesn't he have any hatred in his heart? If he takes revenge to Shen'er What can I do with myself?"

Chu Yuanliang sighed helplessly, and said, "After all, I'm still studying politics in Lin'an, so he won't do this." Even though he said this, Chu Yuanliang was still unsure.

He thought of his third younger brother Chu Jun'an back then, although he was a concubine, he was talented and intelligent, but he passed the examination at the thirteenth and was regarded as the number one scholar by everyone. At that time, he was full of jealousy.

Because the younger brother was brought by his father to teach him personally, because the younger brother married the little cousin they all miss, and because everyone would praise the younger brother for making the Lin'an Chu family have successors.

The jealousy in his heart slowly turned into hatred, obviously he was the eldest son, and obviously he studied hard, but under the dazzling light of his younger brother, he was nothing.

Later, his father died of illness suddenly, and his mother falsely accused him of being poisoned by his concubine brother.

He knew it wasn't, but he didn't make any argument for his younger brother.Does he think, if the younger brother disappears, he will win together.

The crime of patricide smashed the most outstanding son of Lin'an City into the dust in an instant. At that moment, he was relieved. Finally, no one was pressing on his head, so that he could only live in the shadows.

But he didn't expect that his concubine would return with glory 14 years later, the commander of Lin'an, to control the military power of a province, his concubine surpassed him again, is this fate?
Unable to hear any answer from her husband, seeing her husband's face getting darker and darker, Mrs. Bai slowly stopped crying.

Chu Yuanliang thought for a long time, and finally replied: "Tomorrow you prepare a generous gift and take Jin Rong to visit the eldest princess, and beg her to let Jin Shen go, and let Jin Rong beg Miss Shen."

Bai Shi had no choice but to nod helplessly.
