The Empress Dowager

Chapter 11 Two birds with one stone

Nangong Qi didn't stay too long, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Aunt Li followed behind her, and also hurried away, not even taking the jewelry that Nangong Yue put on the table.

Nangong Yue saw that they didn't leave the yard, but walked towards the back of the house along the corner. Nangong Yue was stunned for a while, followed by secretly poking her head out for a look, but saw that there was a corner door on the back wall of her yard. Hidden, unable to see clearly behind the situation.

"Second Miss." At this moment, a female voice came from behind her. Nangong Yue turned her head and saw that it was Nanny Li who was beside Jiang Shi. pick one.

"Just... pick one?"

The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth curled up slightly, and she raised her jade hand lightly to point at a delicate little girl in a goose yellow skirt and a maid's hair. She was only twelve or thirteen years old, and her childishness had not faded completely.

In addition, Nanny Li also brought a food box with two dishes and one soup. The little girl who was selected came up, served Nangong Yue dishes skillfully, and then stood obediently beside Nangong Yue.

"What's your name?" Nangong Yue asked.

"My maidservant's name is Dongmei." The little servant girl saluted, her voice was very clear and pleasant.

"The family name?"

"No, Nanny Zhang took it. She said that the plum blossoms in the village were in full bloom when she bought it, so she got a lottery. If the girl doesn't like it, she can get another one."

"The shadow hidden in the autumn osmanthus moon, and the fragrance of winter plums in the snow. It's a good name!"

"Miss praises me!"

Nangong Yue ate very full at noon, and she only ate a little for dinner. After all, this ancient times is very boring.Sitting idly and doing nothing, Nangong Yue greeted Dongmei to stroll around the yard with her. The Linglong Pavilion looked okay. Entering through the main entrance, passing through the Chaoshou corridor, the small kitchen on one side and the wing room seemed to be gone. Behind the main house, the back room separated by a wall also belongs to Linglong Courtyard.

When Nangong Yue saw the back room, she finally understood the grievance in Nangong Qi's eyes and the real calculation in Jiang's heart.

What came into view was a row of small houses, although they were exquisite, but compared to the bright halls of the main house, they were side rooms after all, and it was very aggrieved to live in them.

Nangong Yue's beautiful eyes darkened. On the surface, the Jiang family was virtuous. He gave her such a good house in Linglong Courtyard. On the surface, he flattered Nangong Jian, but secretly arranged for Nangong Qi, who has a hot personality, to be with her. She made it clear that she didn't want to give her a good life.

It's really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone!
The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth hooked slightly, Jiang's using her as a pistol?She won't do what Jiang wants!When she was just about to think of a way to turn hostility into friendship, unexpectedly, there was a sudden sound of throwing bowls from the side room, and then she heard Nangong Qi's crying voice:
"Take it away! It's fine for Nangong Yue to bully me, what are you guys? How dare you use this kind of thing to fool me! Do you think I'm dead?"

"Qi'er, don't be angry, girls are ignorant, this cheese is difficult to make, it would be good to punish them to make another one." Then Aunt Li's humble voice came:
"Qi'er, mother has prepared your favorite glutinous rice stewed pigeon for you. It's just right now. I'll ask the girls to make a bowl for you, okay?"

"Where did you come from? Let me tell you, my mother is the order of the second rank of our Nangong family, Jiang Shi, the sister of the current empress. When will I have a mother named Li? If you act so unruly and frivolously, be careful." I'm going back to Ma'am and kick you out!"

Then there was the sound of something breaking. Poor Aunt Li was probably harmed by the aftermath of the quarrel between her and Nangong Qi. It seems that Jiang's move may have the miraculous effect of killing three birds with one stone.
