Chapter 57
Dong Yuan and Rong's mother almost trotted all the way back to the place where they had just parted from Mrs. Shizi.

Mrs. Shizi had already been waiting there, looking around anxiously, seeing Dong Yuan and Rong's mother coming, her face relaxed.Because of trotting, Dong Yuan and Rong's mother both had their hairpins slanted and their temples were messy.

Walking in front of Mrs. Shizi, Dong Yuan couldn't help but sneezed twice.

If nothing else, she caught a cold.

Seeing Dong Yuan in a panic, Mrs. Shizi vaguely guessed something, and a distressed look of regret flashed in her eyes.The guilt just flashed by in an instant, and his heart became ruthless again.She didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly said to Rong's mother in a low voice: "Help Miss Jiu back to the room first."

Rong's mother said yes, followed Mrs. Shizi, and helped Dong Yuan back to the wing where she lived.

She lives with Mrs. Shizi tonight, which was arranged by Mrs. Shizi long ago.At the moment, only Dongyuan's maid, Qiangwei, and Shizi's wife's maid, Huaren, were tidying up, saluting, and making the bed.

Seeing Mrs. Shi Zi helping Dong Yuan in, and seeing Dong Yuan's strange behavior, Qiangwei's heart skipped a beat. She didn't dare to ask any further questions, but came forward with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Shizi smiled: "Go and fetch water, and serve the young lady to wash up." Then she said to Hua Ren, "You serve Rong's mother to wash up."

Huaren and Qiangwei said yes, and hurried out to ask for hot water.

When Qiangwei brought a basin of hot water, Mrs. Shizi took off the gold silk emerald jade blessing and longevity inlaid sapphire bracelet on her wrist, and personally helped Dong Yuan wash her face.

Qiangwei was slightly horrified, but Dong Yuan couldn't care less about declining.

Following Mrs. Shizi's hand, she took the hot handkerchief and applied it to her face.The hot air flowed down her cheeks into her heart, and her stiff spirit came alive, and she couldn't help taking a few deep breaths to suppress the boiling in her heart for a while.

What a fluke!
It's really lucky that she pushed away Emperor Yuanchang, preserved her virginity, and continued her life.Thinking about it now, I still feel a slight chill down my back.In the era of supremacy of imperial power, that man was the master of the whole world, he was pushed away by her subordinates, but he didn't fight back, Dong Yuan was extremely lucky.

After washing her face, Qiangwei served Dong Yuan and changed into a lotus color ruyi cloud pattern beanie and a lake color pleated skirt with Wufulinmen pattern.

Facing the mirror evenly, Dong Yuan's complexion finally regained some brilliance.Qiangwei took the comb to comb Dong Yuan's hair, but she didn't dare to look at Mrs. Shizi.She knows the rules best, knows what to do and what not to do.It's just that she's not used to combing her hair, Dong Yuan's hair is slippery and soft, and she can't get it done for a while.

Rong's mother had already washed her face, combed her hair, and changed into new clothes. Seeing Qiangwei's combing skills were unfamiliar, she simply stepped forward to take the rhino horn comb from her hand, and wanted to help Dong Yuan into the double treasure bun she usually likes.

Dong Yuan sneezed several times again.

Shi Zi's wife said: "Sister Yuan, you are probably suffering from the wind and cold..."

Dong Yuan didn't turn his head to look at Mrs. Shizi, but nodded in front of the mirror, Yan Yan's face was pale and weak: "Just now I was tired and sweated all over, and was blown by the night wind again, my body is chilly, I'm afraid it's a bit chilly."

She came out to help Mrs. Shizi arrange the salute, so she would naturally be tired.Hearing this sentence, Mrs. Shizi couldn't help but glanced at her, with a bit of slack and gratitude in her eyes.

Qiangwei became anxious: "I'll go ask the kitchen to make some ginger soup."

Mrs. Shizi asked his mother not to comb her hair, she loosened the combed black hair, and said to Dong Yuan: "Grandmother's place, I'll just go and answer. You lie down, drink some ginger soup to sweat, and then sleep full Once you wake up, you'll be fine."

Dong Yuan said yes.

Footsteps were heard outside.

Hua Nin who was standing at the door laughed loudly: "Sister Baojin, you are here."

Baojin smiled peacefully: "The old lady asked, why did Mrs. Shizi and Miss Jiu not come over? Are you busy? Have you eaten yet? Mrs. Sheng chatted and laughed with the old lady for a long time, and the old lady asked Miss Jiu to come over and invite Ann..."

Mrs. Shizi glanced at Rong's mother, and said in a low voice, "You stay and take care of Miss Jiu."

After finishing speaking, he lifted the felt curtain and went out of the wing room, and smiled at the treasure scarf: "Come here, you go back to the old lady first, we have eaten..."

Baojin bent her knees and said yes, turned around and went to the old lady's side.

Mrs. Shizi told Huaren again: "You are also here to serve. Ninth Miss ginger soup doesn't work after drinking it, so you hurriedly reported it to me..."

Hua Nin said yes.

Mrs. Shizi turned around and went to the old lady's wing.

Before I got to the window, I heard the laughter of the third lady in the room: "...the empress dowager said that the second prince is like the emperor, talented and intelligent..."

Mrs. Shizi pursed her lips and smiled.

I'm afraid that the good news about Concubine Sheng, the old lady and everyone in the Xue residence will have learned from Mrs. Sheng's mouth.Although the third prince of Concubine Sheng is healthy and lively, he is not as good as Concubine Xue's second prince in reading, riding and shooting.The second prince has a sweet mouth and often pleases the empress dowager, who often says that he looks like an emperor.

In fact, in terms of appearance alone, the third prince born to Concubine Sheng is more like the emperor.

The third madam was very forthright, I am afraid that Mrs. Sheng Chang Hou said something that made everyone unhappy, and the third madam brought out the second prince to suppress the Sheng family.

When the maids serving outside saw Mrs. Shizi coming, they yelled inside that Mrs. Shizi was coming, and then helped to close the curtain.

Mrs. Shizi entered the wing room. The room was surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, and the fat, fragrance and powder melted together.

There was a [-]-year-old woman wearing a purple eight-band happy-meeting-cloud-patterned beanie, sitting with the old lady on the big kang by the window, with kind eyes, a friendly smile, and a bit of gentleness and honesty in her demeanor.Mrs. Shizi knew her, and she was Mrs. Shengchanghou.

Seeing Mrs. Shizi coming in, Mrs. Shengchang Hou will get off the kang and tell Mrs. Shizi as a sister.Mrs. Shizi took the first step and saluted her first. After all, Mrs. Shengchang Hou is a first-rank imperial order, while Mrs. Shizi is a third-rank Shuren.

Mrs. Shengchang Hou didn't take too much money, she hurriedly returned the gift, took Mrs. Shizi's hand, and sat on the kang. Seeing her coming in alone, she asked her with a smile, "Why don't you see Miss Jiu?"

The old lady also looked at Mrs. Shizi with a smile.

Mrs. Shizi smiled and said: "Let her follow me to arrange the salute. She is not used to walking, she is sweating, and her head is heavy. I asked the servant girl to cook ginger soup and help her lie down." Then he pulled Sheng Changhou The lady's hand smiled and said, "What are you in a hurry for? In another month, you will be able to see her every day."

Everyone in the room laughed and agreed, thinking that Dong Yuan was too shy to come.

However, the old lady slipped her eyes on Mrs. Shizi for a moment, and then said to Mrs. Shengchanghou with a smile: "Sister Yuan is naturally shy..."

He added that Dong Yuan was really shy so he didn't dare to come.

Mrs. Sheng Changhou didn't see anything strange either, she laughed and said, "Children nowadays are all shy, and our sister Qi is also afraid of speaking in front of others."

Sitting at the bottom, a charming woman in pink embroidered smoky peach stamen pattern smiled softly.She is the third miss of the Sheng family, Sheng Xiuqi, who is 17 years old this year. She was conferred a fourth-rank Jieyu in the first month. Like Xue Dongshu, the eleventh miss of the Xue family, she is waiting to enter the palace on the first day of May.

Xue Dongshu happened to be sitting opposite Sheng Xiuqi, and Mrs. Shizi saw Sheng Xiuqi glanced at Xue Dongshu from time to time, looking at this eleventh girl who was about to enter the palace to serve the emperor like her.

And Xue Dongshu lowered her eyes quietly, pretending not to see.

Mrs. Shizi smiled, and shifted her gaze to a water-red woman with folded branches and begonia pattern next to Sheng Xiuqi. She was in her 20s and had a pure smile. There was a small pear dimple on her right cheek, which made her smile even more beautiful.

She should be Ge Shi, the first wife of Sheng Xiuhai, the second young master of the Sheng family, right?

Mrs. Shengchanghou saw the doubts in Mrs. Shizi's eyes, so she smiled and introduced the female family members again: "This is the second daughter-in-law," she pointed to the young woman whom Mrs. Shizi had just seen.

As expected, it was Ge Shi, the second grandma of the Sheng family.

Pointing to Sheng Xiuqi again: "This is Sister Qi, she will enter the palace in May."

Pointing to the girl next to Ge's wearing a jade-colored embroidered hosta pattern, she smiled and said, "This is Sister Yun, the eldest daughter of the boss, she is nine years old this year."

Then she pointed to the girl in the pea green embroidered vase pattern and said, "This is Sister Hui, the eldest daughter of the second child, she is seven years old this year."

Finally, a bright young girl pointed to a silver-red embroidered trousers with a butterfly pattern and said, "This is my niece, Sister Yi."

The girls of the Sheng family stood up one after another and saluted Mrs. Shizi.

Mrs. Shizi hurriedly took off the two ruby ​​rings from her hands and rewarded the two Miss Sun; she also took off a gold-plated emerald gold hollow tourmaline stone hairpin on her head and rewarded the cousin; she took off the gold-plated emerald gold on her wrist. The hollow tourmaline bracelet was rewarded to Sheng Xiuqi.

After talking some gossip, Master Lianchi sent someone to say that the Suzhai was ready and invited Mrs. Shengchang Hou and others to eat.

Mrs. Sheng got up, saluted and bid farewell to the old lady, and led the women of the Sheng family to the Zhengdong Wing without mentioning it.

After sending off Mrs. Sheng, the old lady yawned.

Everyone knew that the old lady was tired, so they all got up to say goodbye, and went back to their houses to rest.

The old lady called Mrs. Shizi to stand up for a while, and asked her something, and Mrs. Shizi stayed alone.

"How is sister Yuan?" the old lady asked worriedly.

Mrs. Shizi knows that the old lady has always been shrewd. Xue Dongyuan is not that kind of coy person. How could she hide from others?Something must have happened.

"Mother, it's windy at night on the mountain. Sister Yuan has never been out of the house, and she was blown by the wind and sneezing. I'm afraid she's caught the cold." Shizi's wife said.

The old lady's complexion changed slightly, and she told Mother Zhan to put on her shoes to see Xue Dongyuan.

Mrs. Shizi stopped her: "Mother, it's windy outside, so don't catch the cold too. I live in the same room with Sister Yuan, and I will take care of her. Don't worry."

The old lady was very stubborn and insisted on watching: "I have always been at ease in what you do. But if you don't look at it, I will not be at ease all night."

Mother Zhan had no choice but to help her put on her shoes, and with the support of Mrs. Shizi, she went to the wing where Dong Yuan lived.
