Glory all the way

Chapter 198
Emperor Jiayuan was a very benevolent emperor. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he issued a decree to change the age of the maids who were originally released from the palace from 25 to 23. Although there is only a difference of two years, for those court ladies, Already a great boon.

You know, more than 700 days and nights in two years, in such a frightening place, can cause a palace official to die many times for no reason.

And those old nuns, after the age of 60, can go out of the palace to enjoy their lives. If they gain face in front of the master, they may be gifted by the master and leave the palace earlier even if they are not old enough.

Like Aunt Dou is like this.

Aunt Dou is a distant relative of Prime Minister Dou's family who can't be reached by eight poles. It was only after many years in the palace that she realized that she had such a karma with the Dou Mansion.

But Nanny Dou has self-knowledge, so she has acted cautiously for so many years, but she has never done anything bad by taking advantage of the power of the Dou family, and only expects to leave the palace to retire safely.

Once last year, Concubine Hui had a persistent headache, and even the people in the imperial hospital said that there was nothing they could do but rest in peace. Aunt Dou was bold enough to relieve Concubine Hui's headache with an earthen recipe from the countryside when she was a child.

Knowing that Nanny Dou was about to leave the palace, Concubine Hui smiled and agreed, saying that she would leave the palace next year.

In this case, it's fine for the master to talk about it, and no one will take it to heart, but the people from the House of Internal Affairs will record it, and on the right day, Aunt Dou will be able to leave the cage that has imprisoned her all her life.

However, once Bai Yingluo speaks and Concubine Hui speaks, Nanny Chang and Nanny Dou are servants of the No. All the files will also be erased from the books of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Therefore, Bai Yingluo's words really made Nanny Dou and Nanny Chang startled.

In contrast, Nanny Chang was particularly worried.

After retiring from the palace, Nanny Chang still has the halo of being the steward of Jingren Palace, even if she returns to her hometown, the local people will give her a little bit of favor, so it is naturally convenient for her to do things. many.

If the financial situation is difficult and you want to find a living, you can only educate the young lady in the deep house compound. Her previous fame can double her worth, just like the former Nanny Hua.

But once Bai Yingluo is given to Bai Yingluo, even if she is released from the mansion in the future, people will only remember that she is a servant of the Zhuangyuan Mansion. , but no one mentioned it because of the long time lapse.

As if being in the courtyard and being scorched by the scorching sun above her head, a layer of sweat broke out on Nanny Chang's forehead.

"What do you two think?"

Bai Yingluo asked with a smile.

"This……"

Wiping off her sweat quickly, Nanny Chang got up and replied: "Madam's kindness, I appreciate the kindness of the old slave, but the old slave has been serving the master in the palace all his life, and he is used to the life in the palace. In addition, the old slave's body Not very good, seeing that he will be able to leave the palace for the elderly in a few days, and the old slave's younger brother and his family are also waiting for the old slave to go back. If he comes to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, he will not only live up to the high expectations of the son and wife for the old slave, but also have This old slave is really uneasy about dragging Madam down. Next time I go back to the palace to report to Concubine Hui, I will go back to the palace, I hope Madam will understand."

After saying those words, Nanny Chang felt a level of sincerity and fear that she had never felt before, while Nanny Dou rolled her eyes, but she seemed to understand something. She glanced at Nanny Chang, then at the calm and confident Bai Yingluo, Aunt Dou lowered her head knowingly.

Forgot what she said later, Nanny Chang returned to her own room in the narrow yard in the backyard in a daze, drank a large cup of herbal tea, felt the coolness emanating from her chest and abdomen, and Nanny Chang's heart was disturbed. Only then gradually subsided.

After calming down her impatience, Aunt Chang got up and went to Aunt Dou's room.

"If you want me to say, when you go to the master to answer, just tell the truth, as long as you deal with it, the master will allow you to return to the palace earlier, and survive this year and get out of the palace, what is worse than that? You , don't fold the good life in front of you just for the momentary impulse."

Made a bowl of tea and handed it to Nanny Chang, and Nanny Dou persuaded in a low voice.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Concubine Hui doesn't like Bai Yingluo, and when the Zhuangyuan mansion was being renovated, others were afraid of avoiding it, and only Nanny Chang came up to welcome her.

Nanny Chang knew that according to Concubine Hui's temperament, it would be indispensable to reward her after things were done, but what she didn't expect was that a 15-year-old girl would be so powerful.

Looking at it now, it really is that he didn't get things done well but caused a commotion.

"But if it's perfunctory, the master's temperament must think that I'm lazy and careless. If I punish him later, I, an old-fashioned old-faced face, can't bear it."

Complaining, Aunt Chang looked at Aunt Dou who planned to stay out of the matter, thought of the Dou mansion and the princess in the palace, and sighed helplessly in her heart.

On the second day, after all, it was supposed to be the day to enter the palace to kowtow to Concubine Hui, Nanny Chang went to Bai Yingluo to say hello, and left the mansion to enter the palace.

As soon as she entered the main hall, she felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a little bit wrong. Looking up, Concubine Hui's pretty face was full of smoke, as if she had just lost her temper. Nanny Chang yelled that she was not good, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up.

After kowtowing, Nanny Chang got up and stood on one side in an orderly manner. Concubine Hui waved her hand, signaling the servants in the hall to back down, and asked coldly, "It's been a month, what progress has been made?"

Nanny Chang stepped forward cautiously, and repeated what she had said before, while examining Concubine Hui's face, she replied cautiously: "Perhaps they have sensed the old servant's intentions. Now, they are cautious in everything." Really, the matter of close service sent the old slave far away, and the old slave failed the high expectations of the master."

Saying that, Nanny Chang knelt down heavily.

Hearing that piercing voice, Concubine Hui couldn't help frowning, waved her hand lightly to signal her to get up, and asked: "Then they should mix oil with honey as before?"

Nanny Chang nodded, "It's a newlywed after all, so it's a good thing."

She replied, but there was no movement for a long time, Nanny Chang was hesitating in her heart, what should she say if she wanted to come back earlier, but Concubine Hui told her seriously: "You can just wait there in peace, there is nothing wrong , and immediately came back to report, and there must be no mistakes. As for the future... let's do this first, and then talk about it later, you can step back."

As if there was something bothering her, Concubine Hui waved her hand impatiently, and Nanny Chang hastily left Jingren Palace.

After staying for a while, it was worth waiting until Concubine Hui took a nap after lunch. Aunt Chang went to the side hall and found Yurun who usually accompanied Concubine Hui to serve her.

"Miss Yurun, this old slave is always thinking about not being in the palace these days. Seeing that the master is not looking good today, I don't know, but what's bothering you?"

While talking in a low voice, Nanny Chang stuffed a silver nude calmly.

Stuffing it into his sleeve pocket, Yurun looked around and said in a low voice, "Isn't it because of the Seventh Princess? The master has a high spirit and doesn't want to wrong the Seventh Princess. Therefore, those Jinshi who are in the second class, the master doesn't care at all. I didn't plan to think about it. But this year, I don't know what kind of evil wind is blowing. Not to mention that the number one scholar was snatched away first, even the second place and Tanhua were engaged in marriage. No, the master became angry. "

Saying that, like admonishment, Yurun instructed: "Nurse Chang, you and Grandma Dou, just live in the No. [-] Scholar's Mansion and guard them. If there is any trouble, come back and report back. The master has been holding back his breath. No. [-] The marriage with Tanhua is far away, and the master can't intervene in it. For the marriage of Zhuangyuanlang, she believes that the young lady of Jing'an Hou's mansion used the tricks of Hu Meizi. She won't let it go until she says so. of."

As he said that, hearing movement in the inner hall, Yurun greeted him and left in a hurry.

Nanny Chang stood where she was, neither leaving nor staying, she never regretted it.

When I went back to Zhuangyuan Mansion and met Nanny Dou, Nanny Chang cried out with regret on her face: "Looking at it now, I really am a fool. In the hand, it is good now, I really calculated myself into it."

Knowing what Nanny Chang was worried about, Nanny Dou hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Old sister, if you want me to tell you, don't think too much about it. It's a blessing or a curse. You can't avoid a disaster. Let's just wait patiently." Let’s just say, one day is just one day, maybe there will be a turning point in the future.”

"Turnaround? What kind of turnaround can there be?"

Aunt Chang looked at Aunt Dou expectantly.

Aunt Dou shook her head, "From now on, it seems that we must let Concubine Hui calm down, or the Seventh Princess' marriage is finalized, otherwise, we will never be able to return to the palace, so we can only wait and see what happens. .”

Thinking about Aunt Dou's words, Aunt Chang admired her at this moment, "After all, you are the only one who is smart. Back then, the master sent you to come with me, but this month, you only do what you should do, but I , Offended Mrs. Zhuangyuan, otherwise, she wouldn't have tried to deal with me in such a way."

After thinking about it all night yesterday, Nanny Chang had already figured it out, this was actually Bai Yingluo's plan, she wanted her to go back to the palace as soon as possible, so as not to be an eyesore in the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

After thinking about it, and thinking about the things she and she have been fighting with each other this month, Nanny Chang just felt that her guts were about to turn green, but things have come to this point, and there seems to be no room for change.

Talking dejectedly, Nanny Chang was like an eggplant beaten by frost, with a look of despair.

Aunt Dou smiled, "Actually, it's not impossible."

Nanny Chang's eyes lit up, she raised her head to look at Nanny Dou, she took her hand and begged, "Old girl, tell me quickly, how can we make Mrs. Zhuangyuan rest her mind, and we can go back to the palace in peace? But I don’t want to stay here all day.”

"Is the old sister confused?"

After joking, Madam Dou said: "Concubine Hui didn't really want to take the fault of Mrs. Zhuangyuan when she sent us here, but she just couldn't get along and wanted to find someone to deal with her. But now, Mrs. Zhuangyuan She's smart, but we can't take advantage of her shortcomings, so looking at it like this, it seems like a deadlock."

"you do not say……"

In response, Nanny Chang nodded repeatedly.

Nanny Dou took a breath, and continued: "Madam Zhuangyuan doesn't want us to be an eyesore, so let's not hang around in front of her, An Sheng just kills the day. When we enter the palace to answer, we will talk about it as usual, the palace's procrastination formula, but It has been handed down from generation to generation by the aunts who are in charge, did the old sister forget it?"

"Drag the word..."

While muttering, Nanny Chang let out a sigh of relief.
