Glory all the way

Chapter 17
"Mother, I am really careful with everything, just for fear of offending the sixth princess. However, the sixth princess has a savage temper. She just doesn't like me and finds fault with me. I, I am She couldn't get angry, so she just replied, and she said that I... said that the young lady of the Hou Mansion is not well-bred..."

Carefully looking at her mother's face, Bai Yingyun whispered back, thinking about what happened in the palace during the day, she suddenly felt a little scared.

I thought it was just a small quarrel between the girls, but it wasn't until the nurse in charge next to the sixth princess came out to teach her a cold face, that Bai Yingyun realized that she was too reckless.

Turning around again, seeing the Sixth Princess softly dissuading the nurse in charge from getting angry, Bai Yingyun let out a deep breath in her heart, thinking that the Sixth Princess had let her off magnanimously.

But at the end of the course, the Sixth Princess with a smile on her lips ordered the nurse in charge of Yunrou Hall to send her back to Jing'anhou Mansion, and Bai Yingyun realized that she had finally underestimated her methods.

On the carriage back to the house, Bai Yingyun felt more and more weak in her heart when she saw the mother in charge who looked like a Bodhisattva with no joy or anger.

The nun in charge found the Shizi's wife, Mrs. Xue, with a soft face and a smile on her face, but what she said made Bai Yingyun tremble uncontrollably.

"Ms. Jing'an Hou Shizi, the young lady of your mansion has a very good temperament, but she doesn't quite match the sixth princess. The princess means that Miss Bai is also loved and pampered by the elders. Since she can't bear those hardships, why not?" Just come back and rest in the mansion so that Miss Bai won't be tired because of the princess."

After finishing speaking, the nanny in charge bowed and saluted, then turned and went out. At the side, Mrs. Xue winked repeatedly, and asked the maid to pack a thick purse, and personally carried it and stuffed it into the nanny in charge's hand.

It wasn't until she was about to leave the gate of the Hou Mansion that the face of the nurse in charge turned better.

With a slight disapproval, the nurse in charge looked back at Mrs. Xue and persuaded in a low voice: "This old servant is too talkative, and I hope Mrs. Shizi will not complain. That Miss Bai, who entered the palace together to accompany her to read Among the six young ladies, the temperament is the most arrogant. When the sixth princess is around, Miss Bai can restrain herself a bit. Once she turns her back on the princess, those young ladies dare not provoke Miss Bai. You say, if things go on like this, the virtuous name of Jing'an Houfu , isn't it all corrupted by Miss Bai?"

After finishing speaking, the nun in charge bowed and bowed, then turned around and boarded the carriage and went straight back to the palace.

Seeing the carriage drive out of the alleyway, Xue turned around and went back to the house, but her face had already turned gloomy.

The Xue family has only one daughter, which is Bai Yingping. There are two concubines, one is married and the other is still young. Therefore, the good thing of going to the palace to accompany the sixth princess falls on Bai Yingyun.

But within a few days, Bai Yingyun was sent back to the mansion by the palace. If the news spread, others might laugh at the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion. Thinking of this, Xue Shi felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would rather send her away. It is much better for Bai Yingluo to enter the palace and be eliminated by the nobles in the primary election than to embarrass and smear the Jing'an Hou Mansion by causing such a incident today.

Quickly walking towards Qing'an Hall, Xue was thinking of a speech in her heart.

"You really didn't offend the sixth princess?"

Looking suspiciously at Bai Yingyun's expression, the second lady asked in disbelief.

Before Bai Yingyun could reply, the voice of the little maid came from outside the door: "Second Madam, Sister Qiuyue from Qing'an Hall is here. The old lady invites you and Miss Fifth to come over."

With a sinking heart, the second lady raised her eyes and glared at Bai Yingyun, then got up and took Bai Yingyun to Qing'an Hall.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Mrs. Xue and the Fourth Madam sitting beside Old Madam Bai, who had a sullen face.

The second lady knelt down on the ground and pleaded guilty: "Old lady, it was the concubine's incompetence in teaching her daughter that caused this disaster. I will definitely tell Yun'er in the future that what happened today will never happen again. occur."

Seeing that old lady Bai was silent, the second lady turned around and said to Xue Shi in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, you know Yun'er's temperament. She usually speaks freely, but in fact she has no malice at all, and she has no intention of offending the sixth princess." Sister-in-law, turn around and invite you to enter the palace to apologize in front of the empress and the sixth princess. Yun'er will never dare to act recklessly again. Yun'er..."

After finishing speaking, the second lady turned her head and glanced at Bai Yingyun who was standing behind her with her head bowed and cowering.

After getting her mother's wink, Bai Yingyun didn't dare to defend herself anymore, she knelt down meekly, kowtowed to old lady Bai and Mrs. Xue, and kept saying that it was her own fault, and that she would think twice before speaking in front of the sixth princess. Absolutely not to embarrass the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

"Forget it..."

Responding softly, the old lady Bai waved her hand, and she spoke again, but said to Mrs. Xue, "You will enter the palace early in the morning to apologize in front of the empress. If you want to blame the empress, you should. Looking back, you can say that girl Yun was ordered to spend fifteen days in the mansion to meditate for the six princesses, and ask the empress to choose another virtuous, dignified and gentle girl from another mansion. Miss is."

"old lady……"

"grandmother……"

As if they didn't expect Old Madam Bai to act like this, the Second Madam and Bai Yingyun both exclaimed in surprise.

At the side, Mrs. Xue had already nodded in response, "Old lady, I will remember. I will go to the palace to apologize early tomorrow morning."

From the beginning to the end, Mrs. Xue did not raise her head to look at the Second Madam and Bai Yingyun. Although the Second Madam was annoyed, it was Bai Yingyun who did something wrong first, and she couldn't find any excuse at this moment.

After listening to the old lady Bai's lecture with a low eyebrow, the second lady brought Bai Yingyun back to Qiu Ranxuan with her head downcast.

"mother……"

As soon as she entered the room, Bai Yingyun called out aggrievedly. Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the second lady with a sullen expression, "Shut up..."

Staring at Bai Yingyun angrily, the second lady reprimanded angrily: "Don't say you couldn't see who the old lady preferred that day. Your father and I fought hard to win this opportunity for you. It's good for you, don't care about it." Shut up and bring disaster, right? It’s fine if the empress doesn’t blame you, but if you let it go, I’ll see what face you will have in the future.”

Panting heavily, the second lady was obviously very angry.

Looking up again, seeing Bai Yingyun's weeping look, the second lady's heart softened immediately, and she sighed helplessly, "Don't think that what the old lady said about facing the wall and thinking about it for fifteen days is to deal with the palace. Since then, you should go back to Yunshui Pavilion and face the wall to reflect, if there is nothing wrong, you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard."

"mother……"

Shouting out loud, seeing the determination on the second lady's face, Bai Yingyun stomped her feet angrily, turned around and left Qiu Ranxuan, and returned to her yard.

In the early morning of the second day, Mrs. Xue went to Qing'an Hall to greet her, went back to the house, changed her clothes, and then drove into the palace in a carriage.

In Ninghua Palace, the empress waved to Xue Shi who was kneeling in front of her with a soft smile on her face, "Madam Jing'an Hou Shizi, please get up, it's all just a little awkwardness between the children, and I'm so tired." It doesn't matter if you mobilize people to plead guilty."

After Mrs. Xue stood up and sat down, and said many words of apology one after another, the queen followed her words and said, "That Fifth Miss Bai, she seemed to be a good-natured lady back then, so I chose her for Si Ran. As a companion reading, I never expected that in just a few days, the other young ladies would be full of complaints. Si Ran's temperament is the most unruly, so Fifth Miss Bai was sent home. .Now, you just want to be disciplined, and as for the apology, don't mention it again."

"Yes, what the Empress taught is that the concubine must be a good student to discipline her."

Lowering her head in response, Xue's expression was respectful.

On the side, the queen thought about it and asked: "In the residence of the Marquis of Jing'an, is there any lady of the right age who can be sent into the palace to be Si Ran's companion?"

"This... Yes, there is, but it is not suitable for reading with the sixth princess. The concubine thanked the empress for her favor on behalf of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and hoped that the empress would choose a young lady from another mansion."

Xue said hesitantly.

"What's the matter? What's the secret?"

When choosing that day, the servant of the House of Internal Affairs said something extra, the Queen knew that there was a Sixth Miss in the Jingan Hou House, who was about the same age as Bai Yingyun, seeing Xue's appearance this time, the Queen asked curiously.

"Miss Six in the mansion is now 12 years old, as old as Miss Fifth. It's just that her parents died early, so people in the capital said she was a bit unknown, so I dare not send her into the palace this time. It has brought bad luck to the nobles."

Xue replied in a low voice.

When mentioning the early death of her parents, the queen's heart moved.

"Her mother, is she the lady from the mansion of Master Liu, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

The queen was silent for a while, then raised her eyes and asked.

"The empress has a good memory, that's right."

Mrs. Xue nodded and said, "The third master got an errand back then and took the three younger siblings to the south to take up his post. After that, he never came back. The old man and the old lady sent people to pick up the third younger siblings overnight. At that time, the third younger siblings were already pregnant. She conceived in October and gave birth to Liu Yatou, and her mother went away not long after."

As she spoke, Xue lowered her head and picked up the handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

"Mr. Bai is loyal to the country, and the third wife's kindness is commendable. Speaking of which, the sixth lady in the family is really a poor child."

Responding in a deep voice, the empress seemed to have thought of some bad rumors, and she even showed a trace of displeasure on her face, "The child is so innocent, how can he become an ominous person who restrains his father and mother? The royal family doesn't believe it. The evil, pass on the will of the palace, the sixth lady of Xuanjing Anhou's mansion, enter the palace to accompany the sixth princess to read."

His expression was startled, but was replaced by joy in an instant, Xue stood up and knelt down to thank the empress, Fang followed the female officer in charge and left Ninghua Palace.

"Master, if that Miss Six is ​​really an unknown person, what should I do? You..."

Seeing Mrs. Xue go out, a court lady next to the queen said softly.

There was a smile of reminiscence on her lips, the queen turned her head to look at the court lady and asked: "Yaohua, when I chose the crown princess that year, I brought you into the palace. Do you still remember that Shi Shi at the gazebo of the imperial garden?" A helping hand, Miss Liu?"

Tilting her head and thinking for a while, Yaohua's face showed a hint of surprise, "Master, what do you mean, that Miss Six in the Jing'an Hou Mansion is the daughter of the former Miss Liu?"

Nodding her head, the Queen sighed and said: "She is such a good person, even if she didn't teach her to grow up, but I feel that since she is her daughter, she must be somewhat like her. Since she is like her , that's not bad."
