After all, the two of them have only lived a few days of stable life, and they really don't like to be a mother-in-law to insert an eyeliner in. In that case, no matter what they do, they will not be under the noses of others. Hua Lianyue hurriedly looked sideways at Liu Hui on the side, hoping that he could refuse.

Liu Hui received the distress message she handed over, and hurriedly bowed and said: "The people around the concubine must be good at running the family." However, such a person still stays to serve his mother and concubine, and he can rest assured that he can be a son. As for the son's house, the mother concubine doesn't have to worry about it. Yue'er sat on the soft floor at most and gave orders, so naturally there were people below to do it, and she couldn't be tired. ”

"Confused!" Concubine Shu suddenly restrained the smile on her face, patted the table at hand, and said: "She doesn't know anything, don't you know anything either?" Now that the child is in the belly, you can deal with it if you want to be strong. What about when the baby comes out? You have no experience in taking care of the child or taking care of the mother. There is no old man in the house to help, can you handle it?"

Concubine Shu's words were actually not unreasonable, Liu Hui pondered for a moment before he said tentatively: "I don't know who the concubine plans to let go to the Xianwang Mansion to help?"

"Mingyue, come here!" Concubine Shu beckoned to Mingyue, who was teasing the cat with dried fish under the porch outside.

Hua Lianyue's eyelids jumped suddenly, and she couldn't help but stare at Mingyue who walked in carefully. She wore the usual light pink palace maid's dress, embroidered with large acacia flowers. The black hair on his head was pulled into a flowing cloud bun, and there was only a silver hairpin and a few beautiful pink flowers inserted diagonally.

It's not a stunning look, but the face is white and clean, and the thin eyebrows look very comfortable. probably has been by the side of Concubine Shu for a long time, and naturally has a similar sparse charm on her body.

Mingyue bowed respectfully and said, "What do you command?"

Concubine Shu didn't look at her, but smiled and said to Liu Hui: "What do you think of her?"

"Mingyue?" Liu Hui was really surprised at this time. Mingyue is the palace maid who has been with Concubine Shu for the longest time, probably except for his son, Concubine Shu is also the closest to her, and even the key to the treasury of Fuxi Pavilion is handed over to her for safekeeping.

This Mingyue is also very well-behaved, and the shoes and socks she made make make are the most suitable for the concubine. She embroidered her forehead, and Concubine Shu felt that it was the warmest. Even what she said, Concubine Shu felt the most intimate.

Liu Hui thought that Concubine Shu would keep Mingyue with her for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that she would be willing to part with her love and want to send Mingyue to King Xian's mansion.

"Niangniang?" Mingyue didn't seem to understand what they were talking about, and looked up curiously at the smiling concubine.

Concubine Shu said slowly: "This child will be twenty-five years old after the New Year, and he has reached the age of release. Even though I have selfish intentions to keep her by my side, I can't bear to miss her life.

But she has no other relatives outside except for a gambling brother, and I don't worry about letting her follow that unsuccessful brother. Seeing that there is a shortage of manpower in your house, I will let her go to your house to help for the time being. When the girl in the next month frees up her hands to take care of the house's chores, and then gives her a good look at a family, I can be relieved. ”

"Niangniang!" Mingyue finally came back to her senses, her cheeks suddenly turned red, she fell to her knees, kowtowed, and said: "Niangniang, Mingyue is willing to follow you for the rest of your life and serve you! ”

Concubine Shu also seemed to be a little reluctant, her body leaned forward slightly, holding the desk at hand, looking at Mingyue kowtowing below, and said kindly: "Silly boy, I know your filial piety, the more this is the case, the more I can't live up to you." Ah Hui, what do you say?"

When it came to this, Liu Hui was embarrassed. And when he lived in Fuxi Hall before, Mingyue also served him carefully for many years, and he did have some love to grow up together. If you refuse, wouldn't it be chilling. Thinking of this, he looked at Hua Liyue with some embarrassment.

I didn't expect Liu Hui to be so hesitant about such a small thing. The concubine sitting on the top looked at his embarrassment in her eyes, and her dislike for Hua Liyue in her heart added a few points.

Thinking that she is not an ordinary mother-in-law, she can detain her daughter-in-law in front of her every day and train her. Now although she is staying in the most noble and wealthy palace in the world, she wants to summon her daughter-in-law to come to her to give a lecture, and she has to be approved by the emperor and queen. So Concubine Shu's desire to stuff Mingyue into King Xian's mansion was a little firmer.

The originally warm atmosphere suddenly became calm, and seeing Liu Hui's embarrassment, Hua Lianyue's heart rose a little powerless.

She can refuse Zhen Zhaoyi's wooing with lies without blushing or beating her heart, she can put her hand into the Queen Mother's palace in order to achieve her goal, and she can deal with Liu Ling without any psychological pressure...... She couldn't do anything to the person who obviously didn't like her, because she was Liu Hui's mother.

Concubine Shu adjusted her mood, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at Hua Lianyue, who was silent, and said softly: "Girl Yue, I know that you are in charge of the inner courtyard of the palace now, are you willing to look at my face and give Mingyue a decent future?" she said tactfully, but deliberately accentuated her tone on the word "decent".

Hua Lianyue's heart jumped suddenly, and she suddenly didn't understand what the body in Concubine Shu's mouth meant. Even if she agreed to let Mingyue enter the mansion, it was still in the name of serving people. Even if she didn't dare to really ask Mingyue to serve, her identity was there, and she couldn't be called decent.

And a woman of her status, without the protection of her parents, and her brother is a bad gambler, if she wants to be decent, she can only marry a competent husband and become a wife.

But she was already an embarrassing age of twenty-five, and she listened to Concubine Shu's meaning, and wanted Mingyue to help her for a while after giving birth. In this way, it can be as little as two or three years, more than five or six years, which is equivalent to exhausting all her already small youth, so where can this physical future begin?

Could it be that Concubine Shu's real intention is to let Mingyue take the opportunity to control the affairs of the inner courtyard of the palace and become Liu Hui's concubine. In this way, Concubine Shu has a pair of eyes in the palace, and it is extremely convenient to know everything.

After all, the prince's concubine who holds a lot of power is still in charge of the affairs of the inner court, and she is indeed more decent than the wives of some low-level officials.

After Hua Lianyue figured it out, her heart was also cold. The exhaled breath was tinged with a faint white mist, as if it was venting the chill in his heart.

Hua Liyue has no biological mother since she was a child, so she is looking forward to maternal love. originally thought that Concubine Shu was Liu Hui's mother, even if some of her ideas were too shocking, she would definitely not be able to get used to it. But as long as she works hard, she will still like herself after all.

Unexpectedly, this was the second time they met, and she knew that she was pregnant, so she began to plan and calculate, how not to make Hua Lianyue feel cold.

In just a moment, these thoughts flashed through Hua Liyue's heart. After all, she didn't want to think too badly of Liu Hui's mother, so she smiled and said tentatively: "The mother concubine is reluctant to Miss Mingyue, and wants her to have a good home, we naturally understand." She has served her mother carefully for so many years, and Ah Hui and I both miss her well, and we can't bear to let her go out of the palace and continue to serve people.

It's better to do this, when Miss Mingyue leaves the palace, let's help her buy a house in the capital, and then set up a shop, and give her a part of the money-making business in the palace. In this way, she can live her free life behind closed doors, and there is no shortage of silver flowers in her hands, isn't it more comfortable than in the palace.

At that time, Miss Mingyue will have a money-making livelihood in her hands, and then let Ah Hui help find a good husband and keep it so that Miss Mingyue will live a comfortable and decent life in the future. What do you think, Princess?"

Concubine Shu's expression changed, and she didn't speak immediately, Mingyue also hung her head and twisted her fingers, not even daring to raise her head, but she could faintly see that her face was still scarlet.

Liu Hui hurriedly said: "Yue'er's idea is good, I'll let people go outside to find a suitable house shop and set it up, and I don't have to rush when Mingyue leaves the palace." ”

Concubine Shu glared at him, and said angrily: "In this year, the shops on the street are closed, and the seller has returned home, where do you go to find the house shop?"

Liu Hui smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that my mother will be in a hurry!"

Concubine Shu smiled reluctantly, took the longan red date tea in her hand and took a sip gently. After thinking about it for a moment in his heart, he said: "I know that you are all filial, and the arrangements are good, and the considerations are also thoughtful......"

Liu Hui hurriedly interjected: "As long as the mother concubine is satisfied!"

Hua Lianyue didn't say anything, she was not as optimistic as Liu Hui, so she quietly waited for Concubine Shu's next words.

Sure enough, Concubine Shu glanced at Liu Hui with a smile, and said slowly: "If you really want your mother to be satisfied, let Mingyue enter the palace." If she is left alone, the mother will never be at ease. ”

Hua Lianyue sneered secretly, sure enough, Concubine Shu had made up her mind, and she would definitely not give up because of their few words.

Liu Hui's brows were also twisted together, and he said puzzledly: "Why do you have to let Mingyue enter the palace? ”

Concubine Shu sighed and said, "You all forgot that Mingyue also has a brother who gambles badly. No matter how much property you buy her, if it is not for the protection of the palace, these properties will become her brother's gambling money in the blink of an eye, which is why I insist on letting her enter the palace. ”

Liu Hui froze for a moment and looked at the bright moon on the side. Mingyue hung her neck lower, but a crystal liquid slipped down her cheek, leaving a small water mark on the smooth ground in front of her toes.

Hua Lianyue smiled coldly, and finally said slowly: "I originally thought that the mother concubine was afraid that we would be young and would be in a hurry after having a child, so I asked Miss Mingyue to come to the palace to help." Since the mother concubine is afraid that after Miss Mingyue leaves the palace, she will be subject to her uncompetitive brother, which is very easy to do. ”

This was so choking that Concubine Shu's brows jumped, and the displeasure on her face was already obvious. Liu Hui stroked his forehead helplessly, but he was bitter in his heart.

But I saw Hua Lianyue's fingertips tapping on the desk at hand in turn, making a rapid crisp sound, which made people's hearts beat wildly involuntarily.

She said with a calm face and extremely indifferently: "Since it is a bad gambler, I guess we have done a lot of immoral things in order to raise gambling funds over the years, so we will let people secretly search for evidence, and then send it to the local yamen in the name of the prince." At most, some more silver, so that they will be severely sentenced.

When he comes out of prison for ten or eight years, Miss Mingyue will definitely find a suitable husband to marry, and then she will naturally be blessed by her husband's family. If her brother came out of prison and didn't know each other, he would have someone break his hands and feet in secret. I don't believe it, my dignified and virtuous palace can't cure a scoundrel. ”

As soon as she said such a ridiculous word, Concubine Shu was so angry that she almost fell down. She trembled and pointed at Hua Lianyue, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

Mingyue quickly knelt down, she took a few steps on her knees, and came to Hua Liyue. Kowtowed again and again: "Madam, I can't help it, although my brother is not angry, but there are still sisters-in-law and nephews at home who need him to support, if he goes to prison, won't my sister-in-law and nephew have no way to live......"

The more pitiful she is, the more angry Hua Lianyue becomes. She swept over with cold eyes and said, "Joke, even if my brother goes to prison, and you have the money earned from the shop, are you still reluctant to give out a few ingots to feed your sister-in-law and nephew?"

Mingyue's body stiffened suddenly, and she couldn't knock her head down!

Hua Lianyue lowered her eyes and looked at her fingertips, and continued: "Maybe your brother is not here, and your sister-in-law and nephew will have a better life with your funding." Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows again, looked at Mingyue with a smile, and said, "Could it be that Miss Mingyue only cherishes her brother, but she doesn't want to see her sister-in-law and nephew?"

Mingyue was suddenly in a dilemma by her words, she bit her lower lip lightly, and looked at the angry Concubine Shu for help.

Concubine Shu finally relieved herself, but pointed at Liu Hui and scolded bitterly: "You are a disobedient son, you are not close to the virtuous and generous Miss Zhang, but you let such a vicious woman be restrained."

Listen to what she's talking about, no wonder I've heard rumors about her vicious methods in the palace. Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, if you don't use some means to come out, I'm afraid that the reputation of the Xianwang Mansion will ruin her. ”

Hua Lianyue didn't wait for Liu Hui to speak, and said first: "It's strange that the crime of the mother concubine can be deducted, and I also follow the meaning of the mother concubine, I am afraid that Mingyue will be wronged so I can help come up with an idea." I knew that my mother didn't like it, so I wouldn't talk too much!" As she spoke, she was also like Mingyue before, half-hanging her head and twisting her fingers aggrievedly.

Seeing Hua Lianyue pretending, Concubine Shu frowned in disgust. She took a deep breath, after all, she was afraid of the child in her belly, and she didn't dare to force each other hard. So he slowed down his tone and said: "Silly child, it's not that the mother concubine wants to get along with you, it's just that Ah Hui is in the limelight now, and how many people have a thorn in the flesh, just waiting to catch him secretly." Even if you don't do these things, if these words come out of your mouth, they will become sharp arrows against him. ”

Hua Lianyue raised her eyes to look at the sky, and said angrily: "I didn't know that rectifying a bad gambler who did a lot of evil could also become a handle for others to attack Ah Hui." It's just that the emperor is not confused, and I am afraid that he will not take such a crime in his eyes. ”

The emperor is not confused, which naturally means that the concubine who is making a fuss is confused. Liu Hui was so angry that he couldn't speak when he saw that Concubine Shu was fluttering by Hua Lianyue again, and a dark cold glow flashed in his deep black eyes.
