Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 160 Make Up
These days, Mother Qiao didn't have a moment of peace in her heart, she learned from the pain, and now she really understands that the old lady's confession was not a single lie, since the day of the dowry, she has been too trusting She simply made a wrong step, every step was wrong, and she was rejected by the imperial concubine when she failed to complete the task. Mother Qiao was in a state of panic, and couldn't help but look at the meeting hall again. Today, no matter what, she had to find the concubine to explain, so she had no choice but to Turn around here for the princess, and for the noble concubine... No, no, the old lady is right, she has to put the princess first, and the rest of the matter will have to wait.

The women who were involved gradually dispersed, Qing Zhi raised his chin and said, "I've been waiting, it's rare to be so respectful."

"Come in, please." Li Tian moved a little bit, stretching his legs that were almost numb when he was sitting down. Mother Qiao followed Qingzhi in. Before Li Tian could speak, she knelt down and kowtowed a few times with a 'plop' , Li Tian looked at her distantly and indifferently, and waited for her to kowtow before saying with a smile: "What are you doing, Mammy? Qing Zhi quickly help Mammy up, Mammy is an old man in the palace, such a How can I afford such a big gift?"

"The princess is very courteous and magnanimous. It is the blessing of the old slave to come and serve the princess." Mother Qiao stood up holding Qingzhi's hand, bowed slightly, and replied cautiously with a respectful smile on her face. , Li Tian sipped his tea with an amiable smile, and told her that she wasn't going to talk much.

"Our palace is newly established, and the old slaves have been negligent these few days." Seeing that Li Tian didn't intend to start the conversation first, Mother Qiao had no choice but to start the conversation first, but maybe she didn't admit her mistakes for many years , maybe there are still some unclear thoughts in my heart, this mistake is not very good, Li Tian's eyes are slightly cold, and he still doesn't speak while sipping his tea. Mother Qiao swallowed, so she could only continue: "If there is Where there are mistakes, I have to be taught by the princess."

"Why do you say such things?" Li Tian's voice was very gentle: "I said before that the newly opened mansion of the Prince's Mansion in Jin'an County handles such a big event as the prince's wedding. It is generally good to be able to do this, it is already very good. It's rare, how can you say such a thing? Could it be that something happened that I don't know about?" After saying this, Qiao's face was full of embarrassment, and she stayed there for a long time, she had to bow her head in shame and said: "The first pick The few maids in the house were negligent by the old slave, and the princess and the prince should be close to the servants, and the princess should have personally checked and selected them, but the old slave has overstepped."

"Oh." The corner of Li Tian's mouth twitched upwards: "Is this just for this? Those girls are all top-notch, even if I pick them myself, I may not be able to pick such a good person." Come on, I never thought there was anything wrong with these girls. Why did Mammy say such things? Is the prince dissatisfied with these girls? I really haven't heard the prince mention it. You know, the prince's temper, these trivial things I never pay attention to it, tonight I will ask the prince to see what dissatisfies him about those girls."

"It's not the prince." Mother Qiao knew instantly that she was stepping into the pit again. The princess had never expressed any dissatisfaction with those girls, let alone the prince. How did she know that these girls were not chosen?It was impossible to say this, Qiao Mama was full of bitterness, she looked up at Li Tian who had a sweet smile, her legs softened, and she fell to her knees again: "It's the old slave who is confused again, the princess has a lot."

"It's a trivial matter." From the sound of it, Li Tian didn't mean to blame him at all: "Mama has been too tired for a while, I heard from the girls in the morning that Mama Chagang almost tripped last night, I was worried No way, this person is getting old, and his legs and feet can't keep up. The nanny is an old man in the palace, someone who has served the empress, and someone who we juniors should respect. I worked so hard for the sake of us juniors, but if Mammy stumbles and is a little bit tired, how can I explain to the lord? How can I explain to the empress?" Li Tian sighed worriedly: "At this age Now, besides taking care of yourself, what else is there to do? Why don’t you just let the young people do the things that go up and down in this mansion, don’t you think so?”

Mother Qiao's heart grew colder the more she listened. The meaning behind the words was that she was getting old and it was time to go home and rest, but what would she do at home when she went back?Mother Qiao had mixed feelings in her heart. If her husband and two sons hadn't lived up to expectations, she would not have come to Jin'an County Prince's Mansion from Jingfu Palace. When she came to this County King's Mansion, she was just thinking of doing it for her mother. By making this great achievement, it is also good for my son to earn a favor. Secondly, it is better to be the chief steward of Jin'an County Prince's Mansion than to be in Jingfu Palace. With five years of silver, you can set up some property for your two sons, and the children and grandchildren will not have to worry about it for a lifetime, but if they just go back now, what will the family do?
Seeing Mama Qiao with her head down, Li Tian gritted her teeth and refused to answer, and she was not going to say more to her: "Mama, don't think too much, there are many people and things in this house, and I have to invite Mama in the future." Mama, don't worry, I'm young and ignorant, if mama sees something wrong, just discipline me, our house will get better, it's also mama's face, Qing Zhi, help mama get up quickly, in the future mama won't be able to Kneeling like this every now and then, for outsiders to see, what does this look like? Alright, Mammy, go get busy."

Mother Qiao knew that this trip was wrong again, at least she had been talking for nothing for a long time, but she couldn't agree to let her go home anyway, so she had to stand up and leave with her hands down.

Not far from the courtyard of the meeting hall, next to a low room where the servants rested, Nanny Song and Nanny Lu almost squeezed into a cake, stretching their necks to look in the direction of the courtyard of the meeting hall.

"Haven't come out yet?" Nanny Song was a little anxious: "How big is this?" Nanny Lu motioned to Nanny Song to stop talking as she spoke, and the two of them stretched their necks again. Nanny came out from the courtyard gate, Nanny Kong stepped up to catch her, and the two of them went towards the second door while talking.

"You said, if she admits her mistake, can the princess let it go?" Nanny Song was very worried, and Nanny Lu's mouth almost fell off her chin: "Admit it? That's a matter of admitting it If it was the empress, would she dare to do this? It’s not a matter of admitting a mistake and it’s over! What about the girls in the courtyard? She is confused. I don’t think the princess is a fool. Something is wrong, how can there be such a dowry? Who is it to guard against? Let me tell you, this person needs to tell a family biography. The princess's family biography is terrible. If you think about it, her grandmother won't talk about it. Well, the capital is well-known as a powerful person, her mother-in-law is an even more powerful master, but after more than ten years of death, no one mentions her now, that girl, the uncle in charge of even a housekeeper No, this method is also terrible, look at the companions she brought, is there a fuel-efficient lamp?"

"I think it's okay. They are very polite to others." Compared to Nanny Lu, Nanny Song is much more honest, and she responded with some disapproval. Nanny Lu gave Song Nanny a sideways look from the corner of her eyes: " Dogs that don’t bark are cruel to bite people! Let’s go, let me tell you, sooner or later the surname Qiao will be unlucky, stay away from her.”

"I despise her moral character the most. She puts on airs all day long and will step on her chin. What else is she capable of besides flattering your mother? What is she? I don't think of her! Who doesn't know her details? You know? It will be a matter of time if she is unlucky, if she is unlucky, I will recommend you to be the head nurse, you are much better than her."

Mother Lu was full of smiles when she heard it: "Look at what you said, how can I do it? You are the most suitable manager, mother-in-law. I am too soft-tempered, but I can't suppress others. I, too, can follow you to do some chores." , I still have to rely on you to support me in the future." The two walked away happily talking and laughing.

It was nearly noon, and the fifth prince was sitting in the car, patted the small table in the car with a folding fan, suddenly raised his foot and kicked off the car board and shouted: "Go eat noodles, whichever is closest!" Thinking of the Qingfeng Building now makes him feel annoyed!The boy outside hurriedly agreed, and the car went forward for a while, heading for Muji next to the Gongyuan.

The Fifth Prince got out of the car, walked into Muji, and sat in the small private room that was newly separated from the front by a few thin wooden boards, with his feet on the edge of the table, leaning back against the wall Going up, looking up at the clean roof beams, she kept opening and closing the folding fan in her hand, and her heart was in a mess. She actually wanted to take Liu Yuniang into the house!What house does a kabuki enter?Even if you have the grace to save your life, if you just give him some money, there's no point in bringing him into the mansion, right?Besides, it's hard to say who will save who!What is she trying to do?One red sleeve is not enough, and now they are clamoring to pick up Liu Yuniang, virtuousness is not such a virtuous way!The fifth prince frowned, and couldn't explain why, but he just didn't think she was a virtuous person at all. If she was really virtuous, would she let him sleep in the warm pavilion every night?Even if you sleep in the Nuan Pavilion, you should arrange for a girl to serve the bed, let alone a bed attendant, there is not even a night watcher, fortunately he sleeps all night and doesn't get up, otherwise, wouldn't it be okay to drink water at night or something? Do you have to serve yourself?

What is the use of this daughter-in-law?The fifth prince felt a little sad and angry, and he had to talk about it when he went back tonight, what he should do, what he shouldn't do... It's not that he shouldn't do it, why is she so diligent in such a face-saving job for others?What does it matter to her whether she takes Liu Yuniang or not?When did he want to take this Liu Yuniang into the mansion?No, this Liu Yuniang can't enter the mansion, and it's his own trouble to be appointed by the mansion. He absolutely doesn't believe that she is doing it for his own good, it's impossible!A red sleeve is enough to annoy him!

The shopkeeper took a look, wiped the table again, and brought in a few side dishes and a bowl of noodles himself. The fifth prince put away his folding fan and buried himself in half a bowl of noodles. With a nice male duck voice, he called: "I'm capable, if even you can understand it, is it still a skill?"
