Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 26
Nanny's old face turned pale and bloodless in an instant, and she hastily declined: "The status of a servant is humble, I dare not waste the precious stomach nourishing soup of the young lady!"

Stomach-nourishing soup has ordinary ingredients, but the herbs used are relatively expensive. The finished soup is not worth more than a hundred taels of silver, and ordinary people can't afford it. As servants, the nuns must be delighted to receive this reward Ruokang, but why does this nanny in front of her seem to be given poison, her body trembles and her forehead is sweating?

"Stomach nourishing soup is my reward, you just drink it, you don't have to worry about so much." Mu Yutang smiled sweetly, blooming like a hundred flowers.

But this bright smile looked like poisoned poppies in Mammy's eyes, which was extremely glaring, and she turned her eyes: "Miss, this servant is old and frail, it's really too much to drink such a precious stomach nourishing soup." waste……"

Mammy pushed back and forth, looking for reasons to refuse to drink the soup. There must be something wrong with this bowl of nourishing stomach soup. I don't know what is in it?Test and test!

"Mommy sticks to my identity, but I really don't have much taste. I can't drink a bowl of stomach nourishing soup. Why don't we have half of each of us? Mommy is not allowed to refuse any more!"

Mu Yutang's cold voice revealed an unquestionable command tone, and she took a porcelain bowl with her plain little hand, and poured out the stomach nourishing soup.

Mammy didn't know what flaw she had revealed, but she knew that Mu Yutang was suspicious and was trying the soup on her. If she didn't drink it, it just proved that there was something wrong with the soup.

Looking at the light stomach-nourishing soup in the bowl, she gritted her teeth, ruthlessly held her head up and drank it as if death was at home, then wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said vaguely: "Thank you, Miss!"

Although it was a bit reluctant, but she drank every drop, it seemed that the soup was not poison!

Stomach nourishing soup was boiled and served from the big kitchen. The cooks there were all from Chen Jing. The abnormality of nourishing stomach soup was definitely related to her. Since it wasn’t poisoning herself, there must be another purpose. I want to know about her. The purpose is to follow her wishes and drink this half bowl of stomach nourishing soup.

Mu Yutang picked up the stomach-nourishing soup, turned around casually, and the moment she turned her back to the nanny, she poured the soup into her sleeve, and pretended to drink the soup with an empty bowl. By then, she had put down the empty bowl, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief in her hand, smearing some soup.

Mammy looked at the empty soup bowl again, and breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Yutang drank the stomach-nourishing soup, and she could go back to tell Madam!

Mu Yutang lives in Luoyu Pavilion, and has been paying attention to the situation of the soup-drinking nanny. The dew was heavy late at night, and the nanny was safe and sound. At dawn, the nanny's complexion suddenly turned sallow, and her whole body was weak, like got seriously ill.

Mu Yutang followed the example of a nanny, smeared her face, and lay sick on the bed. When she heard the sound of orderly and hurried footsteps, she looked up, and saw six guards wearing long swords divided into two rows, standing guard neatly. Outside the courtyard gate, the maids and nuns with stern eyes and stern faces were afraid to step forward.

When a slight sound came, Mu Yutang glanced lightly, and someone stood by the rear window.

The medicine was administered first, and then the guards, nuns, were sent to guard the door and windows, and surrounded the Luoyu Pavilion into an iron cage. Chen Jing was determined not to let her out of the Luoyu Pavilion. How could she do what the enemy wanted!
As soon as she turned around, she was under the high wall in an instant. With light feet, her slender body jumped over the high wall. After landing flutteringly, she walked forward along the bluestone road. After a while, she came to a rockery and saw Chen Jing was sitting in the gazebo chatting and laughing with an elegant and luxurious young woman: "Princess Qi..."

Princess Qi!Xiao Qingyu's mother!

Mu Yutang's cold gaze swept over Mu Yunjia, who was standing behind Chen Jing, who was generous, shy and timid, and suddenly realized: the husband-in-law Mu Zhen arranged for her was Xiao Qingyu, and Princess Qi was a guest at Duke Mu's mansion. Look at the daughter-in-law!
"Yunjia's embroidery is really lifelike, it's exactly the same as that scroll painting, not bad at all!" Princess Qi praised without hesitation, her beautiful eyes were full of admiration.

Following her gaze, Mu Yutang saw a pair of nanmu frames with an embroidery on it. The red plum blossoms were lifelike, one by one protruding from the embroidered cloth, just like real plum blossoms blooming proudly against the white snow.

Mu Yutang smiled, a cold smile, she is too familiar with this embroidery, it was the original owner who spent ten days and ten nights embroidering it stitch by stitch, but was used by Mu Yunjia as an impostor, Chen Jing tried her best to get her Imprisoned in Luoyu Pavilion, she was afraid that she would see Princess Qi and tell the truth.

"The concubine's absurd praise, Yun Jia is ashamed!" Mu Yunjia was modest and smiling.

The marriage of a man and a woman has always been the order of the parents. According to the matchmaker, Xiao Shizi is aloof and arrogant, and he is not easy to get close to. She can please Princess Qi. As long as Princess Qi is satisfied with her, she will become Prince Qi's son concubine just around the corner.

Princess Qi cherishes her and Prince Qi's token of love most, the Plum Blossoms and Falling Snow Picture. By chance, a corner of the picture was damaged. She has always wanted to make up for Princess Qi's regret, but she is not King Qi. The charm of the king is not the painting of King Qi, so she thought of embroidery, and embroidered the picture of plum blossoms and falling snow, and gave it to Princess Qi.

She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, song and fu, but only knows how to embroider. Looking for an embroiderer, she was afraid that Princess Qi would say that her heart was not sincere enough, so she turned her idea on Mu Yutang.

Mu Yutang has a dull temper and doesn't like to talk. Embroidering and embroidering with a silk handkerchief every day allowed her to practice superb embroidery skills. When the picture of plum blossoms and falling snow was finished, she was really surprised, but Mu Yutang I'm afraid I never dreamed that the embroidery she worked hard for ten days and nights would be used by me to curry favor with Princess Qi.

"Ma'am, Second Sister!" Mu Yutang stepped into the gazebo gracefully, smiling and admiring Mu Yunjia's flustered face.

Chen Jing also stood up in shock, a look of surprise flashed in her calm eyes, and she smiled unnaturally: "Yutang, why are you here?" There are so many guards, the nanny is guarding, and even the seriously ill She ran out, what a bunch of useless idiots.

"Luoyu Pavilion is too boring, I'll come out for a walk." Mu Yutang replied casually, her cold eyes passed Mu Yunjia's to look at the embroidery: "Hey, isn't this the picture of plum blossoms and falling snow that I embroidered? Why? Put it here?"

The light and fluttering voice resounded in the gazebo, Princess Qi slightly closed her eyelids, and took a teacup to sip tea, with a calm expression, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

Chen Jing's complexion was a bit ugly, Yun Jia was good at everything, but the embroidery worker couldn't do it, so she had no choice but to make such a bad move, but she didn't expect to be bumped into by Mu Yutang.

Mu Yunjia's complexion changed, looking at Mu Yutang's eyes, she was about to burst into flames with anger, a bitch who was born by a mother but not educated by a mother, and I used her embroidery to think highly of her, she was not grateful for staying in the rainy pavilion to get sick , actually came to dismantle his own platform, ignorant of good and bad.

"The stitches of plum blossoms and falling snow embroidered by my sister are crooked. It is difficult to be elegant. It is dusty in the warehouse. I embroidered this embroidery."
