box of hearts

Chapter 160
Sun Xiuda still didn't regard himself as an outsider, and sat down on someone else's bed, shrugging his shoulders up, "So what to do, eat as much as you used to eat, how many hours you slept in the past .”

Zhou Dun was a little unexpected, and nodded with sadness and joy, "Oh, that's good, so don't worry too much."

"That's what makes people worry. Everything is as usual, but people suddenly—" He opened his hands in front of his cheeks, sucking his cheeks and pulled them down, "I lost a lot of weight. If that's the case, I don't know how to take care of my body. I have recently lost weight." Started running to the Lianzi Hutong again."

Zhou Dun looked sad again, "I've heard them pass it all out of shape, tell me, what's going on from the beginning to the end?"

Sun Xiuda sighed endlessly and said: "Hey, the prince rested with the newly married concubine for half the night, and that Ruyuan was not happy, and started a fight with the prince, which made the prince anxious, so he said a few words of anger. Her words. Who would have thought that the master would really dare you to be the first day of the junior high school and I would be the fifteenth day, and the next day, he would send someone to call the old friend from the kiln into the garden in a fair manner, and the prince caught him on the bed. The two of you are doing that thing naked, hugging each other, and there's nothing more to argue about."

Zhou Dun opened his mouth wide in a daze, unable to recover for a long time, "I really can't see that Lady Duan is such a heartless and shameless person."

"What ma'am," Sun Xiuda spat on the ground, "if you flatter me again, a bitch is a bitch. How many people have been harmed by this? Didn't you see that when the garden was raided that day, except for Xiaoyan and the others who came out of the mansion, the rest The next group of little girls were all disheveled by the concubine's people, and they were neither human nor ghost. They were matched and sold overnight, and Ruyuan was sealed and locked again. Alas, this Even if the job is over, my brother, I will be the housekeeper of the palace again. Oh yes, there is also that daring, well-born number one scholar, who is also the son-in-law of Zhang Shangshu in the Ministry of Household Affairs. , a bright future, this time, get it!"

"behead?"

Sun Xiuda waved his hand, "Go to 'Jamsil'."

Hearing this word, Zhou Dun shivered.What I can't forget is that the cellar was as airtight as a silkworm rearing, where the limbs of the person were bound on the weird bed, and he went down with a knife, leaving a life without a lifeline——

"So, Master Qiao Yunze has become a useless person like me?"

Sun Xiuda twitched his chin, "removed from office, demoted to the lowest level of fire, and served as a handyman in the Forbidden Palace. Even his father-in-law Zhang Yanshu was also implicated, and he was even demoted to Yunnan. Miss Zhang's family was shocked Painful, I saw Lord Yan when I was ill. And the mother of Huai Ya Tang, who was in charge of Huai Ya Tang, happened to be in trouble this time, and was sued by some Mr. Yu who came from a donated class, saying He took 20 taels of silver and entrusted his adoptive daughter to seek an official position with our lord, but the matter failed and he refused to refund the money, which caused a lot of trouble in the city. Well, in short, anyone who gets involved with this bitch named Duan will never It's not a good thing, 'a beauty is a disaster', the words are true."

Zhou Dun raised his hand and scratched the scar on his face, "With so many messy things, why don't you bother the master to death?"

"Yes!" Sun Xiuda sighed, but slapped his hand on his knee again, "Well, there is a good thing coming."

"Good thing?"

"The princess is happy."

Zhou Dunsu knew about his master's eccentricity. Every time he had intercourse, his concubine was required to prevent pregnancy, so he couldn't help being shocked, "What?!"

"Tsk, it's about the night when it snowed. No one cared about the chaos at that time. As a result, two days ago, the imperial doctor asked the empress and master for a pulse, saying that she was two months pregnant."

"Then what the lord means—"

"Stay wow."

Zhou Dun can jump up to two feet high, like a cannonball jumping into the sky, "Ha! So, we are going to have a little prince!" He went back and forth several times in joy, but returned to worry "It's such a big matter, but I'm stuck here and can't get out, even if I want to say hello to the master—"

"Hey, take a look, take a look at where you are now." Sun Xiuda shook his arms and pointed around, only to see a room with two volumes, a vase and a few furnishings. , full of elegance. "Where is this a prison? It's clearly a 'Jingshe'. The prince didn't want to let your boy suffer for two months in the sky prison, so he moved you to the fire room of the Ministry of punishment. When the time comes, things will be done after the registration, and there must be grace." The decree reduced the crime. Tell the elder brother that before June, you will be able to go to Baiyun Temple to indulge evil and commit crimes, hahaha!"

"You—" Zhou Dun was angry, but he waved his hand again, and couldn't help laughing.

And the one who can't laugh enough these days is none other than Wangfei Xiangshou's nanny Yao Shi, there is no such satisfaction!Not only was Lu Liuqianghua clean, but the master was also conceived as a wife and heir. He was either invited into the palace by the queen mother, or received his wife in the mansion, and came from all directions to pay homage to the world.Nanny Yao's waist became straighter day by day, and she could only look at people with her nostrils. Even when the other hostesses in the mansion greeted Xiangshou as usual, her posture was not what a servant should be. On the contrary, she looks like the old mother-in-law of the prince and the little queen mother of the prince's mansion.

In the golden morning light of late spring, Nanny Yao raised her eyebrows and swept across the two rows of chairs in front of her, staring at the empty one, "Why hasn't the concubine arrived yet?"

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive, accompanied by five or six maidservants, Mrs. Zhan walked in slowly, with a hairpin on a flat bun, and the double beads swaying lightly.The three concubines and the seven concubines present gave blessings one after another, Zhan nodded with a smile and sat down.Nurse Yao just bowed her knees a little, then squeezed her temples with her hands, and said in a dispirited voice, "As usual, concubines with status should come to greet the princess early in the morning, and serve the princess with food. Before the second concubine Don't you also receive everyone's service every day? Why do you come back so late when it's your turn to serve others? If you know it, you can't get up in the morning, but if you don't know it, you think it's deliberately disrespectful to my concubine."

The other concubines couldn't help but flirt, but Mrs. Zhan just smiled proudly, "What is 'your' princess? The princess is conferred by the imperial court, and she is a gift from the palace. Disrespectful?"

"If not, why are you late?"

"The door to the bedroom is still closed, and the concubine has not finished washing up. Although I was the last to arrive, I am not 'late'."

Nanny Yao shrugged her nose dismissively, "As a concubine, I should set an example. Even if I'm not late, it's not right to be late."

Mrs. Zhan was slightly angry, but she was still at ease, "Because I am the second concubine, according to the ritual system, I should be the last to arrive. For example, to greet the prince, the concubine has already arrived, but my step concubine has not yet arrived." Now, how decent is it? And to pay respects to the princess, if I am the first to arrive every time, how will these younger sisters who are lower than me behave?"

"Then let's all come together earlier, there's nothing wrong with it."

Zhan tapped the plain silver armor of the little finger of his right hand on the table, "This is not for the sake of the princess, we are not afraid of early, we can come and sit here at the beginning of the year, but the princess only wakes up at the beginning of the morning , being guarded outside by so many people, not to mention disturbing Qingmeng, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep soundly."

"It is said that the second concubine is gentle, courteous and thrifty, but who knows that when she speaks, she will say the same thing."

"Of course there is reason, and of course there are words, and it is natural to have poor words. It is also a good thing to have poor words, so as not to be talking about making troubles and instigating the master's words."

Nanny Yao immediately became furious, "You—"

"Nurse!" Xiangshou's voice came from inside, lazily and coquettishly, "What are you yelling outside again? Why don't you invite the sisters in?"

The maid at the other end has already opened the curtain at night, and respectfully invites all the concubines to enter.

Xiangshou sat upright with makeup and powder in the early days, with her head tied towards the clouds and a fragrant bun, wearing a pick-up heart, a distraction, and three pretty hairpins, a hibiscus crystal on her forehead, and two pink and white apricot flowers on her hairpin. A pair of ball shoes loomed under the eight-piece skirt of fish jelly cloth.She was already used to the red tape, and she only bowed when Mrs. Zhan saluted, and signaled Nanny Yao to prepare the meal.Soon, a gold-covered small table with two living legs was delivered from outside the door. It was the same as when Mrs. Zhan was eating. The two world concubines Wan and Rong were finally passed on to the second concubine Zhan Shi by the side concubine Shun Fei, who personally put them in front of Xiangshou.Needless to say, dozens of porridge meals, side dishes, snacks, fruits... Guang Chuancai's effort is already considerable.

At this moment, Nanny Yao yelled arrogantly: "Please eat, Madam Wangfei!"

The concubines retreated and stood on both sides.During the years when Xiangshou fell out of favor, she was often bullied and treated poorly by these people. Nanny Yao has held a grudge for a long time, but now that the feng shui has changed, she wished that Xiangshou would eat as slowly as possible, so that they could all stand with their legs soft and crispy.But Xiangshou couldn't bear it, and often gave up a quick mouthful of breakfast.Nanny Yao babbled on purpose, either "I'm pregnant with a small child, what if I don't eat more", or "One person eats two, it's not enough, eat more, eat more", half-heartedly and half-falsely It dragged on for a quarter of an hour.After Xiangshou rinsed his mouth, he wiped the corners of his lips with a silk handkerchief and apologized: "You sisters have worked so hard for serving me every day, so I'm sorry." After a few more greetings, everyone was asked to back down, but he spoke to Mrs. Zhan Retained and said: "Sister, don't go, I have a few words to tell you, nurse, you go out."

Nanny Yao was very reluctant and left the house beeping.This Xiangshou invited Mrs. Zhan to sit down, served a cup of tea in person, and said in a respectful and soft tone: "The family law of the ancestors, now I am the concubine, and I want my sister to change my name to be the empress, but I never dare to be more than half of my sister in my heart." The idea of ​​etiquette. I know that the nanny doesn't understand etiquette at all, and she is holding a chicken feather as an arrow, and she will inevitably run into everyone, and my sister just looks at me, don't care about her."
