The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 178 Princess Shu ([-])

"Miss, do you still remember this little private matter of the servant girl? Hehe, you complained that your memory is getting worse and worse. Look, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Cui Zhi finished drinking the ginseng tea, mallow took the empty teacup with great insight, handed over the handkerchief considerately, and even helped the master tuck the corner of the quilt, with a humble and natural attitude, and a soft and gentle voice .

It's just that the next words seem to point, "However, the maidservant's cousin has changed her name now... The maidservant has persuaded her a long time ago, as a slaveservant, she must abide by the duty of a slaveservant, how can she violate the master's taboo?" ? Hehe, she has changed her name to Ajin now, and gave birth to the eldest son of Mr. Balang."

Xiao Nan's brows couldn't help but twitched, and he secretly drummed in his heart: Well, is this one complaining about the 'Cui's daughter', Ms. A Jin, who was tricked by her?Could it be that she has a close relationship with A Jin?

Looking Mallow up and down, Xiao Nan could be sure even without asking, the girl in pink in front of her, like her cousin, is the concubine of the male master.

However, unlike A Jin’s flamboyance and presumptuousness, Mallow is obviously smarter and lower-key than her cousin, and has more status in front of the mistress—as a concubine, she can also be valued by the seriously ill mistress , which is self-explanatory.

I don't know if she was really curious, or if she wanted to help Xiao Nan clear up the confusion, the old lady asked in a very timely manner: "Oh? Are you also Cui Xin's granddaughter?"

The Cui family has many old songs, and there are also many confidantes who have followed the old lady's three siblings for six to seventy years. After decades of reproduction, these people have spawned a very considerable number of domestic slaves.However, there are very few old servants who are given surnames like Cui Xin, and other Fan clan members who are related to Cui Xin still bear their original surnames.

It was originally a great gift to be given a surname by the master, but for the concubine who has already climbed into the bed of the master, it is not a very wonderful thing.

A few days ago, A Jin was only busy giving birth and taking care of her body. She didn't realize that she had been tricked by the hostess.

But... Xiao Nan narrowed his eyes. If Mallow's father also covets the noble surname 'Cui', and follows Mu Jin's father to worship Cui Xin as a cheap son, then the relationship with Mu Jin will be closer .In this way, will Mum Kui fight against her cousin who has suffered a loss, and then hold her against Xiao Nan? !Or two Hakka girls who won your surname unite and do some tricks together? !
Mallow bowed to the old lady first, and then shook her head with a smile: "Aye, the maidservant, is clumsy and has never done anything decent. How can she be qualified to worship under the name of Cui Aweng?" She is not like that Looking at the smart, but extremely stupid cousin, she foolishly thought it was such an honor to be given a surname.

Mallow is Cui Zhi's dowry maid, she doesn't care about that noble surname.Because she understands one thing, whether it is a palace or an ordinary house, the only one who can control the fate of these women is the wife.

Among them, the princess is the most important.

Because the daughter of an ordinary family will be divorced if she is not favored by the prince and has flawed personal morality, but can the daughter of the Cui family and the granddaughter of the old man be easily divorced?
Not to mention that Cui Zhi joined the palace for more than ten years, abided by the rules, behaved well, and won the praise of the clan and the upper class of the capital.He is a sage, seeing that his son is not pleasing to the eye, even scolding him as inferior to a beast, but he loves Cui Zhi, his daughter-in-law, and believes in one truth more deeply--to marry a daughter-in-law, you must marry a noble daughter from an aristocratic family.

The sage of his own son is very aware of his virtues, but Cui Zhi is able to manage the Shu Palace in an orderly manner, and the notoriety of the Shu King is only hunting and disturbing the people.

However, this crime is extremely flexible. At best, it is called martial arts, and it has the style of being a father (it is said that His Majesty Li Er was also ridiculous when he was young), at worst, it is nothing more than 'disturbing' the people. It's not a major event of murder and arson, a heinous crime.

The sage had thought more than once that if Liu Lang's wife was not virtuous, then his son would be more than absurd now.

Especially at the beginning of last year, Qi Wangyou conspired against him, which really broke the saint's heart. Being rebelled by his own son, even the father of an ordinary family couldn't stand it, let alone the emperor.

His Majesty Li Er has a total of fourteen sons, some died young, some were disobedient, some were cowardly, some were smart but had poor morals, and some rebelled against their father. The dragon chair... made the aging sage very worried, for fear that his son would have the tragedy of the brothers fighting against each other.

A good wife and husband have few misfortunes.

The sage felt this from Princess Shu, so when he chose a wife for his son, he would choose a family, especially a well-established and long-established family, such as the Princess of Jin who held a wedding this year. He was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan.

The topic is far away, let's get down to business, the saint has a good impression of Princess Shu, and since she fell ill, he often calls the imperial doctor who consulted her to inquire about her condition.Later, Li Yin repeatedly delayed the time to go to Yizhou on the grounds that his wife was seriously ill and he couldn't bear to make her suffer, and the saint also acquiesced.

Cui Zhi was already extremely authoritative in the Shu Palace, but now with the support and concern of the sage, her position has become more stable, and her prestige in the Palace has reached a very high level.

Even the king of Shu felt that this wife was very useful, and respected her a little more.

For various reasons, Cui Zhi, a patient who was seriously ill in bed, became an uncompromising figure in the palace.

Mallow is Cui Zhi's maidservant, but she is also the concubine of the King of Shu. She is most aware of this situation, and she is even more convinced of her decision - as long as she serves her well, her future will be assured, instead of being like a cousin It was written in the letter that the mistress was so calculating, and then so and so.

And Cui Zhi is very satisfied with Mallow's keeping her duty, and she is becoming more and more dependent on her, which makes Mallow see hope: as long as her performance convinces the lady that she is absolutely loyal to her, then she still has a chance Strive to be promoted to be a concubine or even a child.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, besides the princess, the prince can also accept two children and ten concubines.

Although the names are different, but to put it bluntly, they are all just the prince's concubine, no different from slaves and concubines.

However, they are also concubines, but Ruren and concubines are not comparable to ordinary concubines. You must know that both Ruren and concubine are high-ranking concubines who can be recorded in the genealogy.

The behavior of the King of Shu was absurd, but he was not out of line in the matter of men and women. There was only one child of the fifth rank, and no more than six concubines.

This is also the carrot hanging in front of Mallow, which attracted her to serve Cui Zhi more respectfully, and acted as the eyes and ears of the master with extraordinary loyalty.

However, for Xiao Nan's entrapment of his cousin, and how he did it so terribly, Mum Kui somewhat complained: She is also a maidservant, and she can best understand the mind of a maidservant. She is the son of a lowly maidservant, so what hope does she have?
With resentment buried in her heart, Mallow brought out a little bit of it when she spoke.

Cui Zhi, who was pushed back onto the kang, heard Mallow's words, a light flashed in her weak and lifeless eyes, she sized up the three little ladies beside her aunt without a trace, and carefully observed their expressions——

The first thing Cui Zhi looked at was Cui Heng, the fourth lady who was said to be very similar to herself. The moment her eyes fell on Cui Heng, she understood why everyone said that the fourth sister was like her.

This kind of resemblance is not just about appearance, it is normal for the same grandfather and cousins ​​to look similar.

What Cui Zhi cares about the most is Cui Heng's stable temperament and indifferent expression. Looking at her quiet and introverted eyes, and the smile that often hangs on the corner of her mouth, Cui Zhi can't help but have an illusion, she, she seems to see Myself ten years ago.

Like, so similar, if it wasn't for the fact that she is so sick that only a handful of bones are left, Cui Zhi even wonders if she is looking in the mirror.

Perhaps Cui Zhi's eyes were too eager, but no matter how calm Cui Heng was, she was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl after all, it's no wonder she didn't respond when someone stared at her like that.

After a moment of embarrassment, Cui Heng smiled lightly, and bowed his knees to give Cui Zhi a blessing, "Sister, well, I always heard people say that I look like sister, and I just realized it when I saw you today, and they are all complimenting me." , Ha ha, if I can have the whole body style and elegant and decent manner of my sister, I can wake up laughing at night when I sleep."

Cui Zhi knew that the other party was complimenting her, but Cui Heng's expression was very natural, and it was not at all obvious that she was flattering, but instead, she had a feeling that she was really telling the truth.

He nodded secretly, and gave Cui Heng another ten points.

Twirling the corners of her mouth, Cui Zhi smiled lightly: "My sister was joking, hehe, I said, why does my sister look so familiar, she's actually looking in the mirror."

As she said that, Cui Zhi shook her skinny hand at Cui Heng, "Come on, they are all my sisters, come and sit up close. The third sister and the eldest sister are also welcome, come and sit."

The old lady had already sat down on the Hu bed at the top, and when she heard Cui Zhi's words, she also nodded to the juniors, "Sit down, my lady is not only a princess, but also your elder sister, there are no outsiders on the left and right, so there is no need to be courteous."

Xiao Nan also sat beside the old lady, but didn't say anything, just watched quietly, because she knew that in today's drama, she was neither a pig's foot nor a supporting role, just a soy saucer.

The three Cui Wei sisters heard what the old lady said, so they didn't refuse, and sat on the moon-like chairs in front of the kang in order of age.

Before entering the main hall, Cui Wei was still struggling: should she choose love or wealth?

But as soon as she stepped into this magnificent hall, her eyes were full of expensive furniture, bedding, curtains and royal gold, silver and jade that only princes and princesses could use. She made a decision - she will follow the arrangement of fate and be the next princess of Shu!

It's just that the current princess of Shu doesn't seem to have much enthusiasm for her. Instead, she talks endlessly to Cui Heng, who is dressed in a lake blue dress, and Cui Xuan, who is dressed in an almond-colored waiter, and keeps her aside.

This made Cui Wei a little dissatisfied. Didn't the cousin see that she was the most suitable candidate?
It just so happened that Cui Zhi asked Cui Heng what kind of spring banquet he had recently, and Cui Wei interjected, "Speaking of spring appreciation, I heard that eighth sister-in-law said that on March [-]rd, there will be a horse race meeting and polo playing in Leyouyuan..."
