The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 138

The maids that Zhou Tianhao usually comes into contact with are all trained by Liu's mother, and they are the most honest and sensible, how can there be such a bold one.It was the ladies he knew, all of them were demure, gentle and quiet. Seeing Zhou Tianhao who was naturally glib, he wished to stay as far away as possible, and never posted like this again.

Xie Yujiao saw that Zhou Tianhao's face changed with fright, and she felt a little funny in her heart. She was not so angry yet, but he was so angry that he was about to smoke.Xie Yujiao turned her head and looked at Zhou Tianhao pretending to be indifferent. Seeing the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, she couldn't help laughing, reached out to wipe him off and said, "It's such a big deal, and it's worth your time. So scared, your bed is probably cooler, so someone can't wait to climb in."

Zhou Tianhao also came back to his senses at this moment, seeing Hong Yuan who was kneeling on the ground about to explode, but was stopped by Xie Yujiao and said: "She was chosen by Mother Liu, you have to punish her for selling, I have to ask Mother Liu tomorrow, otherwise I will be kicked out like this, and it will be hard to explain when the time comes."

Zhou Tianhao knew that Xie Yujiao usually had a little temper, but for the first time he didn't lose his temper today, so he was relieved.Looking at Xie Yujiao's face just now, he thought his cheeks were about to suffer again.

The red kite trembled even more when Xie Yujiao said that she was going to sell it. Her heart sank and she didn't care about other things. I thought that the prince and his wife slept in separate beds tonight because he wanted the servants to sleep with him, but the servants were wrong..."

Hearing this, Zhou Tianhao felt more and more difficult to argue. He wished he could go up and tear her mouth apart. At this time, several women who were on duty at night had already arrived outside the door, and they were all waiting outside, and Xie Yujiao didn't wait either. Hong Yuan didn't say anything else, but only ordered her mother-in-law to pull her out.

The red kite was dragged outside, yelling grievances all the time, and it was the dead of night, and the women were upset when they heard it, so they randomly found a piece of handkerchief, and bet her mouth tightly. Seriously.

Ziyan put down the lamp and went outside to close the door. Seeing Luyi Yuanyang and several young maids waiting at the door, none of them dared to go in. She thought of Xie Yujiao's face just now, and felt a little scared, so she closed the door behind her. Also stood outside the door waiting.

Xie Yujiao found a stool and sat down. Under the candlelight, her face had a faint halo, her lips were pursed, she didn't look like she was very angry.

"Sit down." Xie Yujiao looked up at Zhou Tianhao and whispered.

At this moment, Zhou Tianhao was still in shock, he didn't know what to say, so he sat down awkwardly.

Xie Yujiao looked at him coquettishly again, and gouged him hard: "I really don't know if you are really stupid, or just pretending to be stupid? You really didn't see what the maid was thinking?"

Xie Yujiao really wronged Zhou Tianhao by asking this question. He only had her in his heart, and he didn't have the slightest thought for other women. Even some big thoughts were ignored, let alone such small thoughts.

"I..." Zhou Tianhao thought for a while, and felt that he was at a loss for words. This time, it was indeed his own fault, and he didn't guard against the dangers, and he didn't see this maid's wolfish ambition.

"What are you and me doing? Don't you feel sleepy at this late hour? I'm so sleepy!" Xie Yujiao stretched out her hand and yawned. Thinking about it, it's better not to tell Zhou Tianhaoming about it. She likes him. Don't you just like his open-mindedness?There's no need to let his sophistication be smooth, as for those Yingyingyanyans, she doesn't mind at all.

Seeing that she never mentioned the matter just now, Zhou Tianhao felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't speak for himself, so after thinking about it, he said lazily: "I can't sleep alone, so it's better to sleep with you."

Xie Yujiao saw that he looked old again, so she also smiled and said, "I just need a bed warmer at my place!"

Zhou Tianhao was overjoyed when he heard that, he reached out and hugged Xie Yujiao by the waist, and the two flirted again and went to bed.

Xie Yujiao just leaned on Zhou Tianhao's chest, raised her head and saw his handsome and heroic face, she just put her arms around his waist and whispered: "You are so slow-witted that you can't even tell that the maid is not thinking right. .”

Zhou Tianhao thought about it carefully, he didn't say a few words to her at all, how could he see this?Only Xie Yujiao said casually: "I don't know what you are thinking. On the first day, she deliberately dismissed the other maids in the room and waited for you to serve you when you came back. Today I let Yuanyang call you In the end, she cut off her beard again, and wanted to go to the study to invite you in person; tonight, when she heard that I came to Guishui, she hurriedly proposed a pillow mat, and you can't even tell?"

Zhou Tianhao saw that Xie Yujiao's words were sound, and now he really couldn't even cry out for injustice.It would be strange if he could see through these small thoughts!

Seeing the stiff expression on his face, Xie Yujiao knew that he must not have thought of this, so she smiled and said: "Okay, go to bed soon, don't think about these things, anyway, let's get rid of them tomorrow."

Zhou Tianhao thought for a while, but still felt uneasy, so he just said: "Morrow, let's get rid of the other one too. In fact, I don't need others to serve me. You are enough for me."

Xie Yujiao saw that Zhou Tianhao was quite self-conscious at this time, she just nodded with a smile, and couldn't help but raised her head, and kissed him on the chin twice, the man turned over and held her down, and kissed him several times mouth.

In the early morning of the next day, Xie Yujiao woke up earlier because she was not feeling well, and the maids had just woken up after a whole night of fussing last night.

Seeing that Zhou Tianhao was still asleep, Xie Yujiao didn't bother him, and just looked at the sleeping face of the man with her elbow.Zhou Tianhao's eyelashes are very long, and his eye sockets are slightly sunken. When he opened his eyes, they happened to be the most standard double eyelids.His eyebrows are very thick, extending all the way to the temples, with such a peach blossom, it is not surprising that he is missed by others.

Xie Yujiao looked at it for a while, but felt that she couldn't see enough. Just as she was about to kiss her secretly, she heard a noise from outside.She went around to the end of the bed, got up with her shoes on her feet, and then pulled up a curtain. Ziyan heard a noise outside, and hurried in and said, "Madam is awake? Mother Liu is here, kneeling outside, no matter how much the servant pulls her, she won't get up." .”

Xie Yujiao frowned slightly when she heard the words, and then remembered that this person was only chosen by Mother Liu, and she didn't personally train him. She might not know what his temperament is, so she said, "You Let Mother Liu get up first, just say that I am washing and washing, let her wait for me in the hall for a while, if she refuses to get up, tell her that the prince is not awake yet, don't make a big noise."

Ziyan only followed Xie Yujiao's wishes and went out to persuade her. Sure enough, Mother Liu got up and waited in the living room, but did not dare to sit down.Xie Yujiao asked the maids to come in and take care of washing.At this time, Zhou Tianhao had already woken up. Xie Yujiao turned her head and glanced at him. Seeing that the bruises left under his eyelids due to indulgence in the past two days had disappeared, she just smiled and said, "Are you full of sleep today? Mama Liu I’m already waiting in the hall, if you want to know what’s going on, go and listen together.”

Hearing this, Zhou Tianhao just stretched and got up from the bed, put on his robe and walked to Xie Yujiao's side.There were hairpins and jade hairpins of various colors in the make-up dowry on the dressing table. Zhou Tianhao spent a long time picking and picking among them, and took out the one he picked that time, and put it on her hair bun.

Xie Yujiao smiled at the mirror, her face turned bright red immediately, she just stood up and pushed him and said, "Go to the clean room and wash up, this face full of eye feces is so ugly."

Zhou Tianhao leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Your face is full of eyeballs, so you have been looking at it for so long just now?"

Xie Yujiao blushed even more when she heard this, and she even learned to pretend to be asleep, which is really getting worse.

When Zhou Tianhao finished washing and came to the main hall, Hongyuan's servant girl had already been escorted in. She was almost half naked when she went out last night. A woman couldn't bear it, so she casually found a coarse cloth for her to wear on her body.She didn't have much beauty in the first place, so with her disheveled hair, she was somewhat hideous.

At this time, Mother Liu was sitting on the embroidered pier brought by the maid, only looking at Hongyuan while wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.She has been heartbroken for Zhou Tianhao all her life, and now she finally sees him getting married. She originally thought that she could breathe a sigh of relief when she was older, but who knew that such a thing would happen to her.This servant girl entered into Prince Rui's residence through her hands, and she was the one who brought the two of them out from the palace.

"Madam can do whatever she wants. This old slave is really ashamed to let such a maid in." Liu's mother regretted it now. She originally thought that a maid with an ordinary appearance would be more honest, but she didn't expect it to be a maid. Such an ending.

At this moment, Hongyuan was so frightened that her body became limp, and she just crawled on the ground. She was locked up in the firewood room last night, and there was no one to talk to. When she was pulled out at this time, she was already a little depressed.At this time, when I heard that I was going to be dealt with, I couldn't help but raised my head, looked at Mama Liu and said, "Mother Liu saved me, it's the empress who wants my slaves to serve the prince well! The empress said that the princess is young and may not be able to serve him. Good... I want Luyi and I to do our best!"

Luyi on the side had already had cold lips and teeth, and was so scared that she didn't sleep well last night. Seeing that Hong Yuan had exhausted her words, she knelt down in a hurry and kowtowed to Xie Yujiao: "Ma'am Mingjian, I dare not... I have never had such thoughts..."

Xie Yujiao was also stunned for a moment at this time. Regarding Empress Xu, Xie Yujiao didn't have any other major opinions except that she felt that her usual amiability towards her was a bit fake.Although they are sisters-in-law, their identities are different after all, and there are few opportunities to meet each other. Xie Yujiao really can't understand why she would do this?Is it really just as a sister-in-law who loves her brother-in-law's newly married life?
When Zhou Tianhao heard this, he was shocked immediately. How could the emperor's wife, who is usually so accommodating and doting to him, do such a thing?Zhou Tianhao could hardly believe his ears, he only opened his eyes wide, and shouted to Hong Yuan: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the sister-in-law make such a decree?"

Hong Yuan was taken aback by Zhou Tianhao's angry voice, she couldn't help but fell down on the ground, crying and saying, "Your servant...the servant did not lie, she is really the empress..."

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she actually believed it a little bit. It's just that some of the maids who came out of the palace didn't have such an idea. Even if the queen didn't order it like this, wouldn't they have such an idea?Although Xie Yujiao was angry at the moment, the emperor's face would be ugly when he thought about this incident. The empress could not give her face, but the brotherhood between the emperor and Zhou Tianhao could not be ignored.

Xie Yujiao gritted her teeth, and just said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If the Empress really cares about the lord, what's the point of rewarding the lord with a few concubines? Can I not agree? It's clear that you have such thoughts yourself. , and even pushed it to the queen, do you really think that no one in this palace will pass these words to the queen?"

Seeing that Xie Yujiao opened her mouth and dismissed the Queen, Hong Yuan was stunned and wanted to debate a few words, but Xie Yujiao hurriedly ordered someone to pull her out, gagged her mouth tightly and forbid her to speak again.

A few women who did rough work only dragged her out, and when they saw her lying on the ground and refused to leave, they kicked her hard, who knew that she was so frightened that she urinated, and fainted after seeing her eyes.

Luyi, who was kneeling beside her, was already sweating profusely from fright, and her body was shaking like chaff. Before Xie Yujiao could speak, she couldn't help it, and fainted from fright.

After hearing what these two people said just now, Mother Liu finally understood a little bit, and remembered that when she led the two out of the palace that day, she went to the inner mansion to ask for their contract of sale, and the empress only kept them here. Thinking about it now, even though Xie Yujiao wanted to help the queen get rid of it, only Queen Xu knew what was going on here.

The mothers-in-law also took Lu Yi down, Xie Yujiao saw Zhou Tianhao's gloomy face, so she just sat down and comforted her: "Okay, the matter is settled, let's have breakfast."

Zhou Tianhao just frowned and said nothing, suddenly remembered the two beauties sent by Empress Xu when he was seriously injured, and immediately reacted, he just lifted up his robe and said: "I won't eat the breakfast you serve your wife, I want to go out one trip."

Xie Yujiao didn't know what kind of evil fire Zhou Tianhao had started, so she hurriedly got up and pulled him, "No matter how anxious you are, don't be in a hurry for a while, what's wrong with leaving after breakfast?"

But Zhou Tianhao shook off her hand, turned around, put his hands on Xie Yujiao's shoulders and said, "Jiaojiao, I understand what you're thinking, but...you can bear it, but I can't." Zhou Tianhao didn't wait for Xie Yujiao's reaction. Come here, just walk outside the door, and said to the women who had just pulled Hongyuan and Luyi away: "You go and bring those two court ladies to the door for this king, and tie them into the carriage."

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she immediately became anxious, and hurriedly ran out of the door to hold him back and said, "What's wrong with you again, it's not a big deal, at least I'll save some face for your brother!"

But Zhou Tianhao was not willing to listen, he just said in an angry way: "Leave this matter alone, you are not feeling well, stay at home!"

Xie Yujiao usually sees Zhou Tianhao laughing and joking, she was almost caught in bed yesterday, and she even laughed with her, but this time her serious expression even fooled her, and she forgot to pull him, only to see him fling He left with his sleeves on.

Mother Liu hurried to the door to support Xie Yujiao, seeing her anxious face, she only comforted her: "Madam, don't worry, the prince knows how to measure, I'm afraid this time he is really angry."

Zhou Tianhao went to the palace on an empty stomach, but Xie Yujiao couldn't eat for a while at the house. Mother Liu still felt a little guilty about those two maids, so she comforted Xie Yujiao with kind words.

"Last time, the prince was seriously injured, and he didn't recover. His Majesty was in a hurry to ask for a doctor to delay the medicine. But the empress was fine, and sent two beautiful maids here, saying that they were used to anger the prince. The prince was so angry at night. I got hot again, and ran away early the next morning." Liu's mother now also knows that Zhou Tianhao ran to Xie's house at that time, so she told Xie Yujiao these words bluntly.

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she felt both angry and funny, no wonder Zhou Tianhao was going crazy today, so there was such an inside story.

"It turns out that Empress Xu loves the prince so much, I really didn't see it!"

Mother Liu shook her head when she heard this, and then sighed: "I didn't understand it before, but after today's incident, I understand it all. How can this hurt? It's clearly because I didn't think about the prince. Alright! Madame, you and the prince are newlyweds, and the empress is clearly trying to make your husband and wife discord! The old servant has also lost his sight."

In fact, Xie Yujiao knew in her heart that it was not easy for her and Zhou Tianhao to come to this point. Besides, they were such fellows who had already trusted each other to the extreme. How could a random maid be able to quarrel with each other?Although she has a little temper, she is very sober when it comes to such a big matter!
"Don't worry, mom, this matter is over, but I don't dare to use people who come to the harem, and I have to ask my mother to work hard for a while, buy a few little maids from outside, and train them well." Mama Liu Seeing Xie Yujiao say this, she became more and more ashamed, and resented her old eyesight for a while, so she agreed.

But on the side of Empress Xu, it was just a few words of instruction to the two maids according to the usual practice.Originally, the emperor often rewarded the court ladies to the ministers, and the empress also gave such instructions every time.Few of those court ladies who were rewarded to the minister's home could become a noble concubine in the end!

Although Madam Liu deliberately chose two maids of ordinary appearance this time, as a queen, she didn't need to care about the looks of the two court ladies, so she gave a few words of instruction as usual and asked Madam Liu to lead them out. .

Empress Xu was really envious of Xie Yujiao, thinking that although she was an empress, her relationship with the emperor was getting colder and colder, and she had to flatter her uncle, she felt a little unhappy.Fortunately, her brother-in-law is also married now, so she is not less worried about this matter. A few days ago they went to the palace to worship their ancestors, and later the emperor came to Fengyi Palace to thank her, and only praised her for her virtuousness.

Empress Xu glanced at her no longer young face in the bronze mirror, and only sighed deeply, thinking that it was time for those concubines to come to pay her respects to herself, but who knew that the palace maid outside hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, It’s no good, His Highness Prince Rui has entered the palace, and he brought the two palace maids selected by Mother Liu a few days ago, saying that he wants to see you, Empress!”

Empress Xu was only slightly taken aback, usually this little uncle would not even be able to invite him, so why did he come here by himself today.Empress Xu only glanced at the court lady who was talking, and saw that she lowered her head, seeming a bit scared, so she got up and said, "I will go out and have a look."

It was the time when all the concubines were going to pay their respects to the empress, Zhou Tianhao stood outside Fengyi Palace like a stone statue, and it was difficult for the concubines to go in for a while, they had to avoid them not far away.Empress Xu walked to the gate of the palace, saw Zhou Tianhao standing there, and saw the two maids behind him huddled together, scared out of their wits, and couldn't figure out what happened.

Seeing Empress Xu coming out to welcome her, Zhou Tianhao lifted up his robe suddenly before she could speak, and knelt down in front of Empress Xu with a plop, and said, "My brother, thank you for your kindness. I really can't bear it, please ask the emperor's sister-in-law to take it back."

When Empress Xu heard this, she couldn't help but turn her eyes from Zhou Tianhao to those two maids. One of the maids, Lu Yi, who was supposed to keep her own life, was also implicated now. She couldn't help crying and said to the empress: " Empress, the servant did nothing, it was Hong Yuan... Hong Yuan, she..."

At this time, all the concubines also arrived, and some of them usually received some favors in front of the emperor, so they sent their servants to investigate from afar.Everyone knows that Prince Rui just got married a few days ago, and the maids who served beside him were selected from the palace, and after only a few days of work, they were sent back, there is obviously something tricky about it.

Empress Xu's complexion had already changed at this time, and there were so many concubines watching, if this matter got out, she would lose face.

That Hongyuan was in a daze all the way, now that she finally saw the queen, she thought that someone was backing her up, but then she heard someone calling her name again, she only woke up, raised her head to look at the queen and said, "Your Majesty... ...Your Majesty, please help me, servant girl...The servant girl also followed your Majesty's wishes..."

Before Hong Yuan finished speaking, Empress Xu just kicked her on the body, angrily said: "Could it be that this maid is crazy, what are you talking about here? Hurry up and pull her down!"

Hearing the words, several old nuns hurried forward to take Hong Yuan and Lu Yi down.With a smile on her face, Empress Xu winked at the maid at the side, and said, "My lord, get up quickly, what are you doing?"

The maid was about to go forward to help Zhou Tianhao, but Zhou Tianhao threw her away, stood up, brushed the dust off her knees with her hands, and left without looking back.

After listening to Hong Yuan's words, the spectators already understood what had happened, they just laughed privately: The Empress really has nothing to do now, she even has to intervene in the affairs of Prince Rui's room.

Empress Xu looked at Zhou Tianhao's back without turning his head, and was so angry that she only ordered the two court ladies who were brought back by Prince Rui just now to be killed.
