Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 515 Surprise
On this day, from midnight onwards, the wind blew violently.

The morning sky is gray and depressing.

The wind was very strong, Ming concubine coughed twice outside the house, she didn't go to greet the old lady, she just went back to the inner room to read a book.

After only turning a few pages, it started to rain outside the house, from the first few drops to the heavy rain in less than a quarter of an hour.

This time, it didn't stop until noon, and then it continued intermittently in the evening of the next day.

The night passed.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

The air is fresh and sweet with the fragrance of grass, the sky is blue and endless, with occasional birds passing by, becoming the most beautiful embellishment under the blue sky.

In such a fine weather, one should go shopping, this thought rose from Ming concubine's mind, but was suppressed by her, replaced by a touch of longing.

I don't know where Chu Mochen and the prince are now, or if it's raining.

I haven't been to Changhui Courtyard to pay my respects for two days, and now it's sunny and it's unreasonable not to go.

It's just that when I arrived at Changhui Courtyard, I didn't see the old lady. When Mama Qian came out, she looked at Concubine Ming for a while, but she didn't know what to call her.

Let's call her the Princess of the World. I gave her 20 taels of silver, only missing the title of the promised princess, and she is no longer the wife of the princess, and because she didn't give her the title of the princess, she can't be counted as the princess either.

This is half the imperial concubine, half the princess, neither is appropriate.

Mother Qian's embarrassment was written all over her face. After all, she was someone close to the old lady, and the maids and women all looked at her, trying to imitate her.

Knowing that she was in trouble, Ming concubine smiled and said, "Is the old lady still not in good health?"

Mother Qian shook her head and said, "The old lady had a nightmare and she is not feeling well. You don't need to come to pay her respects until you recover."

Ming concubine was curious about what kind of nightmare the old lady had, but it was inconvenient for her to ask further, it was a good thing for her not to come to pay her respects.

But she was happy in her heart and couldn't show it on her face, Ming concubine said, "I'll make some tranquilizing pills for the old lady to take."

Mother Qian said, "No need, the old lady invited the imperial physician into the mansion and prescribed the medicine."

The old lady would not take the medicine sent by the concubine Shizi, if there was any more in it, the concubine Shizi would cause trouble to her body.

Ming concubine expressed her filial piety, but Madam Qian stopped her, so Ming concubine let it go and blessed the main house to show respect, and took Xi'er back to Chen Xiangxuan.

With nothing to do, she made pills to pass the time.

While busy with the prescription, Haitang walked over quickly and said, "Concubine Shizi, the old lady asked you to go to Changhui Courtyard."

Ming concubine frowned slightly, and Xi'er said, "Go to pay my respects in the morning, isn't the old lady feeling unwell and seeing the concubine?"

"Who knows, the servant girl came to deliver the message," Haitang shook her head and said.

Xi'er looked at Ming Concubine and said, "It must be nothing good."

Whenever the old lady went to see the concubine, almost nothing good happened, she was afraid.

The corners of Ming's mouth curled up into a bright arc. If she guessed right, the old lady's visit to her at this moment should be related to her nightmare. Since she sent someone to look for her, she must not go. Let the water come and cover it.

Putting down the work in hand, Ming concubine took Xi'er to Changhui Courtyard.

At the gate of the courtyard, I happened to meet the princess. Normally, the princess doesn't care about the affairs of the Changhui courtyard, but the prince and Chu Mochen are not there. The old lady is looking for a concubine.

Ming concubine helped the princess into the room. In the main hall, the old lady was sitting on the arhat couch, her face was a little pale and haggard, and the eldest wife and the third wife were sitting beside her.

Ming concubine came forward to greet her, and said, "I don't know if grandma is looking for Ming concubine?"

Also called grandma!

The eldest wife and the third wife were very angry, these two words seemed to remind them of what kind of stupid thing they did.

The third wife gritted her teeth angrily, then said with a smile, "Congratulations to the old lady for having such an intelligent granddaughter, she is not too young, the old lady might as well choose a marriage she likes."

The princess's face turned cold, and she looked at the third wife with a rare sharp look in her eyes.

The third wife turned cold, and hurriedly changed her words, "I was joking with her, how could the second sister-in-law take it seriously?"

Ming concubine smiled lightly, "I know the third aunt is joking with me, the old lady is so emaciated, and the third aunt asked the old lady to pick me a future husband, it is too unfilial, not to mention the girl from the mansion I'm not married yet, so it's not my turn to be a adopted granddaughter."

The third wife's eyes were slightly cold, and she didn't speak any more.

Xi'er stood aside, aggrieved from the bottom of her heart, she had never seen the third wife like this.

Shi Zifei and Shi Ziye only helped her. She turned her face away and refused to recognize anyone. She helped a dog, and the dog still remembered her kindness. Seeing what happens in the future, Shi Zifei will still help her.

In fact, Concubine Ming was quite speechless. Although the purpose of helping the third wife was to provoke her and the eldest wife, the two grasshoppers were tied too tightly, and they kept pulling.

Regardless of them, Ming concubine only looked at the old lady, but the old lady didn't speak.

At this time, a servant girl came in from outside and said, "Old lady, Taoist priests are welcome to enter the mansion."

Taoist priest?

Why did you invite Taoist priests into the mansion again?

If you have a nightmare, invite a Taoist priest to enter the mansion, or simply let the Taoist priest live in the Zhennan Palace.

Ming concubine sat aside, and soon, the servant girl led the Taoist priest into the mansion.

Coincidentally, he is an acquaintance Taoist again.

Seeing Concubine Ming, the Taoist priest twitched the corners of his mouth. He was not afraid of seeing everyone, but what he was most afraid of was seeing the concubine of the Prince of Zhennan.

Seeing the Taoist priest, the princess smiled and said, "I wanted to find the Taoist priest last time, but I couldn't find one."

The Taoist hurriedly said, "I found a Taoist temple to practice."

Ming concubine was stunned, the Taoist priest who lied to eat and drink, unexpectedly became a Taoist temple, amazing.

The eldest lady smiled and said, "I also happened to know that the Taoist priest is practicing in Qingyun Temple, so I asked my servants to invite the Taoist priest. These days, the evil spirit in the mansion is heavy, so we should get rid of it."

Ming concubine rolled her eyes secretly, and simply said that she was that group of evil spirits, so why beat around the bush, but it's a pity, other Taoist priests might be able to get rid of her, but this famous Taoist priest definitely couldn't.

Ming concubine didn't speak, just listened quietly.

The Taoist priest asked, "I don't know what kind of nightmare the old lady had?"

The old lady didn't speak, and Mother Qian did it for her. "Last night, the old lady dreamed that someone killed her. The person who killed her was wearing a veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly. The old lady was so scared that she didn't fall asleep all night."

Fortunately, she didn't directly say that she killed it. Ming concubine was amused in her heart, and her face was calm and curious.

The third wife sneered at her with a nonchalant gossip look on her face, and she will see if you still laugh or not later.

The Taoist stretched out his hand to make a calculation, and then asked, "Has the family added a child recently?"

Mother Qian shook her head, "Not really."

The third wife said, "Why not, isn't there an extra princess in the mansion?"

"I don't know where the princess is now," the Taoist asked.

"Here, there it is," the third wife pointed casually.

The Taoist priest looked over and saw Ming concubine smiling brightly.

Yes, it's me.

Surprised or not?

Not surprised?

Taoist priest,
