Red makeup against the world

Chapter 586 Empress Dowager Xiao's Whispers

Empress Dowager Xiao remembered something, called her to sit down, and whispered: "Come on, let's have a private conversation, don't let your husband hear you. Have you met Bai Yao and Bai Shan?"

Xu Wanzhen nodded lightly, and thought about her words: "Bai Yao is steady, Bai Shan is dexterous, and they are rare and good women. Wanzhen thanked the empress for her kindness."

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled slightly: "You don't need to be sloppy with Ai's family. When you saw Bai Shan, didn't you have any murmurs in your heart?"

"I really can't hide anything from the Empress Dowager." Xu Wan smiled embarrassedly: "Bai Shan has exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and she behaves coquettishly. She came to be my maid. I really feel that she has been wronged."

"I didn't ask her to be a maid." Empress Dowager Xiao said: "You will still be in a coma when you get married, so you can't worry about Aijia. Aijia just thinks that the lady in your house is not a fuel-efficient lamp. , will definitely give Wu Zhengxiang a woman, and even use this to stir up the Xu family's dissatisfaction with your husband, killing two birds with one stone."

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Xiao would think so carefully for herself, Xu Wan was really moved: "What kind of virtue can you really have, to be so cared for by the Empress Dowager?"

Empress Dowager Xiao patted her hand with loving eyes: "What's the matter. Aijia has nothing else but a lot of time, Zhengchou can't find a place to relax, and it doesn't take much to think about your affairs. Bai Shan, Bai Yao and Bai Yao each have their own roles. Bai Yao has a stable temperament and is considerate in doing things, even if you have been sleeping, she can still protect you under the banner of mourning."

"Bai Shan was specially prepared for you by the Ai family. If the lady in your mansion really wants to fortify someone, it will be more convenient to use the Ai family's people than hers. Don't dare to say anything else, Bai Shan Never dare to think of anything else. At that time, Madam Zheng who follows you will know what to do."

During Xu Wanzhen's drowsiness, Empress Dowager Xiao would send someone to visit her from time to time, and knew everything about the maids and servants around her.Madam Zheng was released from the palace. Empress Dowager Xiao only asked people a little, and she knew that she was stable and reliable.

"But since you're already awake, you can handle Bai Shan's affairs according to your will. She is a high-minded person. If you need a concubine to silence your mother-in-law, she is the best candidate. If there is something wrong with her Okay, you deal with it directly, just let me know afterwards."

Empress Dowager Xiao treats her like her own granddaughter. Nowadays, when women get married, they will marry one or two beautiful maidservants as dowry, preparing to be concubines for the uncle.If the husband has two hearts, he will open the face of such a maid and use it as a solid favor.Such a housewife, whose identity is held in the hands of the mistress, is the most reassuring to use.And Bai Shan is such a role.

However, Xu Wanzhen never thought of taking a concubine for Wu Zhengxiang.During the time she came to Gaomang, she had been exposed to a lot of wives and concubines. Doesn't her father have Aunt Song to serve her now?But she believes that the relationship between the two needs to be maintained and managed, but does not need a third party to test.

Other men may like three wives and four concubines, using beautiful women to show their power and wealth.But she has confidence in Wu Zhengxiang, and even more confidence in the relationship between the two.

But Empress Dowager Xiao's kindness naturally cannot be dismissed.Xu Wanzhen said softly: "I know about the empress dowager's kindness, let's take a look at it for a while. Zhen'er hopes that she will never be needed."

Empress Dowager Xiao laughed when she heard that, this young couple has never experienced anything, and they don't know the seriousness of the world.However, who didn't come here like this?
"You can take a look first. Ai Jia can see Wu Zhengxiang's feelings for you. But, really, there is no man who doesn't like new things. You have to be prepared." For decades, the couple Empress Dowager Xiao has seen too much about becoming a resentful spouse.Isn't Zhong Guogong and his wife a living example?

Although Wu Zhengxiang was far away from what they said above, he could hear them clearly with his ears.He secretly laughed when he heard that, Wanzhen's trust in him made him feel warm.

Empress Dowager Xiao left her meal, and came out of Yanqing Palace after lunch. The two left the imperial city, got into a carriage and went straight to Anguo Gong's mansion.

Sitting in the carriage, Wu Zhengxiang thoughtfully took the big welcome pillow and placed it behind Xu Wanzhen's waist: "If you are sleepy, sleep for a while, and I will call you when you arrive."

Xu Wanzhen leaned against his body, and said with a faint smile, "I don't dare to really fall asleep, I just close my eyes and rest my mind." If I really fell asleep, my hair is messed up, and there is no place to dress up.

He was supposed to visit Duke An's mansion after his lunch break, but if he came out after returning to Duke Zhong's mansion, he would have to bid farewell to the Chen family again.Both of them didn't want to look at her face anymore, but the rules were like this, so they had to skip their lunch break and go directly to An Guogong's mansion.

Mrs. Zhuang got the news early in the morning, and sent Banmei to wait by the Chuihua Gate after lunch.

Seeing the carriage of Duke Zhongguo's mansion stop in front of the Chuihua Gate, Wu Zhengxiang helped Xu Wanzhen get off the carriage, followed by Caisi and Qingluo to wait on him.Banmei rushed to meet her, "Second Miss is finally here, Madam is looking forward to you so much!"

In An Guogong's mansion, Xu Wanzhen is still the second young lady.Shi Jingyu is already married, and now only Shi Jingfu is still at Mrs. Zhuang's lap.She was just 13 years old, and Mrs. Zhuang was showing her a marriage.

After getting on the soft sedan chair for transportation in the inner house, Xu Wanzhen looked at the scenery along the way and keenly felt the changes in An Guogong's mansion.

Compared with when she came two years ago, the servants in the mansion were busy and orderly, obeying the rules.But at this time, it seems that everyone is radiant and smiling.

She couldn't help asking Banmei who was walking aside in a low voice: "Is there any happy event in the mansion?"

Banmei laughed and said, "Second Miss has good eyesight! Just a dozen or so days ago, Shizi got a job in the Ministry of War. After so many years, this is the first job that the mansion has really lacked."

Xu Wanzhen sat back, silently thinking about this change.She knew that An Guogong's mansion had been silent for so many years because he was on the wrong team when the current Holy Majesty ascended the throne.

For this reason, Shi Jingze folded in the most important ten years of youth for a man.From an outstandingly intelligent young man who concealed his brilliance, he gradually turned into the lazy and careless appearance he was later on.

Now that he actually has a real shortage in the Ministry of War, doesn't it mean that the emperor has forgiven the mistakes of Duke Anguo's family, and Shi Jingze finally doesn't have to keep a low profile anymore?

A group of people came to Mrs. Zhuang's room. With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Zhuang helped Xu Wanzhen up and looked her up and down.

"Hearing that you woke up, I can't wait to see you right away." It's a pity that it doesn't make sense, how can an elder visit a younger generation?

Shi Jingfu leaned closer, her cheeks had not completely lost the baby fat, and her chubby smile was very cute.She said: "Second sister, since I have you, my mother has been talking about it all day long, but she has turned a blind eye to me under her nose."
