Chapter 400: Forgiving and Forgiving
In Yue'e's opinion, instead of worrying about the future, otherwise do a good job now and please the princess, this is the opportunity to ask for grace, otherwise it is useless to worry.
No matter how much she hinted at it, Yue'e was only relieved and didn't take it seriously, and Yuejiao felt that it was better for her to plan.
She doesn't want to die of old age in a corner of the mansion silently, and she doesn't want to go out and marry a rough man casually, although the palace is a place where people eat people, but in the end, it is the most prosperous place in the world, that is, they are relatively low-level palace maids, and what they do is only serve tea, take something when the concubines travel, most of the time they just stand and wait for the higher-level palace maid to tell them to work, and the food and clothing are not enjoyed by idlers.
She still remembers the hard days when she was a child, when she was a child, she had to break a penny in half and spend it, and she ate wild vegetables all year round, which was bitter and astringent and difficult to swallow, so she couldn't eat enough, and it was terrible to think about it, she didn't want to live like that again, and she didn't want to contact those low-level and vulgar men.
But then there is only one way out.
Even if Concubine Yang didn't say it explicitly, isn't it also this intention?
After making up her mind, Yuejiao dressed up every day, wanted to show her best side, and inquired about the prince's preferences intentionally or unintentionally.
The little maids in Dingwang's mansion who can let her have direct contact with them generally can't say what kind of beauty the prince likes, but they all say that the prince likes the princess.
Then it's good to dress up according to the princess.
The princess likes plain clothes, and does not apply grease and powder, Yuejiao also wears plain clothes, plain face to the sky, the princess is slender, Yuejiao controls her own food every day, and almost only eats vegetable leaves and drinks some soup.
After more than half a month like this, she met the prince several times, but the prince didn't glance at her out of the corner of his eye, and she couldn't help but be discouraged.
Later, I bribed a relatively simple little maid next to the princess with a little private money I had accumulated, and then I asked, in fact, the princess was wearing bright colors before she was pregnant, and her makeup was even more exquisite.
Yuejiao was annoyed, immediately changed her route, and changed another batch of clothes. Bought expensive rouge gouache, but in this way, her savings bottomed out, but the effect was also obvious.
Yue'e looked at Yuejiao's careful thoughts, and it didn't take long for her to realize that Yuejiao had slowly changed, and her skin was so tender that she was just right to water slowly became sallow.
Ignorant and unconscious, Yue'e was frightened, once she found an opportunity, and she was not ashamed, she looked for Mama Qing to express her thoughts, saying that she entered the palace at the age of eight, and thought that there was no chance to come out, but she thought that the palace mother was kind and asked her to come over to serve the princess, she should have served well, and she should not have thought about anything...... But now that she is sixteen years old, according to the people outside the palace, even if there is no promise, she has already said that she has been married, and she has lost contact with her family after entering the palace, and now she is nowhere to be found...... Family affairs, no need for people with good conditions, as long as the man is healthy and willing to work.
Qing Mama didn't agree, Yue'e heard some rumors in the house, and knew that there was a Miss Cousin who had a lot of unhappiness with the princess because of the marriage, everyone in the house knew that everyone didn't know Miss Cousin's personality before, and thought that the princess couldn't tolerate people, and there was a lot of discussion behind it, and then Miss Cousin was sent out of the house and seduced her brother-in-law in her mother's sister's house, so everyone could see the true face of Miss Cousin.
Yue'e felt that Qing Mama had some scruples, for fear that she would be the same as the previous Miss Cousin, who begged in advance and did not admit it afterwards, so she thought of a way, in addition to Qing Mama, she found a few broken mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law to convey their ideas, and people did not hide their thoughts of wanting to marry, and for a while, there were quite some jokes in the house.
The most ugly thing is that the girl who came out of this palace is probably the same as the men in the barracks, she hasn't seen a man for a long time, and she can't help it...... One is crazy for a man, looking for someone to be a matchmaker everywhere, and the other is a demon who dresses up all day long, trying to seduce the prince, it seems that the palace is just like this, and it is no different from the old girl who can't marry in the countryside.
Yuejiao heard the rumors and was a little annoyed, so she asked Yue'e to question.
Facing Yuejiao's questioning, Yue'e didn't take it seriously, and only said: "This is also a fact, sister, I am indeed a little anxious to get married, sister, you are younger than me, there is no need to worry, but I will be seventeen in two months, and I will become an old girl in two months, and if it drags on for a year and a half, it will be eighteen, and there are very few men outside who have not yet married at this age, and I can't pick a little husband or a widower who drags my children and daughters, and I can pick a better one if I plan early."
"But sister, we are called by Concubine Yang to serve the princess, how can you just think about getting married? Let Concubine Yang know, maybe she will be blamed." Yuejiao listened to Yue'e's words, and became anxious, so she could only use Concubine Yang to suppress her.
Yue'e said: "Not to mention that there are a bunch of people in front of the princess now, there is no shortage of people to serve our new arrival, and we are not familiar with anything, and we can't intervene at all, even if we get married, we can still serve the princess, and there are many new daughters-in-law in front of the princess...... I have inquired, the princess and several of her daughters-in-law have sons of appropriate age, and they are thinking of waiting for the princess to give birth to a child, and taking advantage of the festivities to ask the princess for a grace, so that she can marry a decent lady and maid in the house, but there are always more maids in the house than in charge of small servants, and if you don't take advantage of it, you won't be able to pick it at all."
Yuejiao looked at Yue'e who hated to marry, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak, the gentle and generous Yue'e before seemed to fly away overnight, the person was still the same person before, and her face was the same as before. [,!] face, but it feels completely different.
"Sister, why are you ......" After Yuejiao was shocked, she hurriedly said: "Concubine Yang let us enter the palace...... Anyway, it's not for us to marry."
"Sister, you think too much, Concubine Yang is letting us serve the princess, now I can't intervene for a while, I can't do nothing all day long, I plan for myself, and become a parent. Yue'e didn't seem to understand what Yuejiao said.
"You, if you are so careful of Concubine Yang, you will be blamed." Yuejiao saw that she couldn't persuade Yue'e, so she simply said a threat.
"Sister, how can you think like this? Concubine Yang let us out of the palace, if we live miserably, it will not be in vain for Niangniang's hard work, and it will also make people misunderstand that the palace treats my sister badly." Yue'e still pretended not to understand Yuejiao's words.
"Niangniang is asking me to wait for my sisters to serve the prince well." Yuejiao simply put it bluntly." There is no shortage of maids in the palace."
"Sister, where do you start with this? Niangniang is asking me to wait to serve the prince and princess, no different from us getting married." Yue'e frowned, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister, and ask my mothers to try to help find a man who can still help the palace...... Originally, a mother said that there are still many young talents in the Fuzhong Courtyard, and there are also guards in the Fuzhong who are not married, so it is really difficult to choose!"
"You...... I'm not going to tell you, you're going to regret it." Yue Jiao was so angry that she stomped her foot and ran away.
Behind her, Yue'e slowly retracted her smile and shook her head secretly, stupid people.
Everyone knows Concubine Yang's intentions, and at this time, giving them to the prince is obviously to let them be the people in the house of the prince.
Although the two of them are good-looking, they are not stunning beauties, there are many people in the palace who are younger than them and more intelligent than them, and there are no relatives who are not Concubine Yang's henchmen, why does Concubine Yang want to pick them? What are they worthy of being used?
The approximate reason for thinking about it is that Concubine Yang wants to befriend King Ding, but Concubine Yang is still childless, and it is easy to provoke the eyes of others if she does it too obviously, Princess Ding still has a big belly, if she is stimulated at this juncture, no one can afford this responsibility.
This is also why, Princess Ding is pregnant, seeing that as long as she gives birth safely, whether she gives birth to a son or a daughter, she will sit firmly in the position of the princess.
I heard that Princess Ding's pregnancy is not very stable, and I am afraid that in case, this account will be counted on my head, so let alone summoned, even the reward is flashy, and there is no food and clothing that can be eaten and clothed immediately, so as not to make it clear if there is anything wrong with the princess after eating.
Concubine Yang chose to give the prince a beauty at this time, which is right, and the saint often sends it to the ministers, she can't figure it out, why did she pick them? Just because of their two low-status palace maids, they can enter the eyes of the prince? Why don't they give more beautiful ones? Even if the prince is occasionally interested...... It won't last long, unless you can get pregnant in one fell swoop.
But the prince has so many beauties around him over the years, except for the princess, none of them are pregnant, what reason can be imagined, they can be favored and pregnant again, which is almost impossible.
The only time that can be determined is that for Princess Ding, their existence is certainly not worth rejoicing.
In terms of grade, Concubine Yang is higher, but King Ding is now powerful, even the saint has to let him a few points, and the palace is like Concubine Yang who is a flash in the pan and has been favored for a while, not to mention that there are many concubines, who come and go for three or two years, and then change one in three or two months, even if you have a son, your position will not change, and you can still count on your son in the future.
In contrast, there is still a position of the princess Ding, who is about to give birth, and her husband is young and powerful, not to mention that the county officials are not as good as the county management, out of the palace, it is far away from the emperor, and it is difficult for Concubine Yang's hand to reach into this Dingwang Mansion.
As long as she keeps to herself, can Concubine Yang still recall herself to the palace and deal with it, especially when she finds a good family to marry.
As for Yuejiao, she is really naïve, not to mention that it is impossible for the prince to fall in love with her, even if she falls in love with someone who sleeps once or twice, what can she change? In the harem, unless you can really be favored all the time and then saint a man and a woman, it is really not as good as those who are not favored can live in peace.
Looking at Yuejiao's complexion, I don't know what's wrong, it's become so bad, obviously the two of them eat and live together...... Yue'e doesn't want to go on, she just wants to find someone to marry, no matter who she marries, she can save her life if she marries.
……
Su Yiqing learned about the different practices of these two palace maids, and couldn't help but smile, that Yuejiao is just that, Yue'e is a little interesting.
Seeing that Yue'e had made up her mind and even disregarded her shame, she was looking for her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law everywhere to promote herself, looking like she hated to marry, she decided to fulfill her, and found Mama Qing to give a few instructions.
Qing Mama heard that there was suspicion, and said: "Niangniang, please forgive the old slave for saying more, after all, it is from the palace, so it's not good to marry like that......? In fact, the prince is not close to them at the moment, so isn't it good to offer them like that?"
Su Yiqing smiled faintly: "The palace will be investigated, I will bear it, and Mama will just do what she is told, I will laugh."
Seeing that Su Yiqing didn't want to mention it, Mama Qing didn't dare to ask any more, so she had to retreat and go to do something.
Su Yiqing waited for Mama Qing to leave, and sat down on the couch. [,!] got up, walked to the window, looked into the distance, from the room where she was, the view, the scenery is excellent, after all, it is the main courtyard where the princess lives, the best place in the palace, you can see the artificial lake in the distance, there are a few green lotus leaves floating on the lake, and the wind blows and can bring a little water vapor.
It is said that a person can eat and drink as much as he can in his life, why bother to make money, but having money or not is not the same after all, the luxury in front of him can not be enjoyed without money, but compared with the price he pays, it is not worth it, racking his brains every day to take risks in order to be able to eat a few more delicious meals, sleep in a spacious room, what others think she doesn't know, she thinks it's not cost-effective.
She has no friendship with those two palace maids, but sometimes she has to be forgiving and forgiving, just a little palace maid, since she works so hard to break free from the fate of the chess pieces, showing that she only wants to live well, why not fulfill this humble mind?
Although the previous method was relatively simple, after all, it was cruel, so the two young girls were put together, only to wait for them to make mistakes in a hurry, and then go to ruin...... If you really can't do it, forget it, but when you have a choice, even if it is more difficult, you still choose a kinder path to walk, and do good deeds to accumulate virtue for the child in the womb.
