Chapter 78: The New Palace Maid

Shouxian Palace

Under the influence of the drug, Ning Huaixiu has already told everything about it, including her identity before she was reborn, how she died in her previous life, what happened in the court and harem in her previous life, and her plan to repeatedly murder Cai Wei after being reborn......

Nangong Yi and Cai Wei were stunned to learn of her reborn identity, and they couldn't believe their ears. However, although they were surprised, they quickly accepted the news brought to them by Ning Huaixiu. Because in addition to believing in the old turtle's medicine, but also because Ning Huaixiu said what would happen in the next few years, even Nangong Yi's new policies that have not yet been implemented and the changes in the court, she is very honest, although she does not know in detail, but these are confidential, and even in Nangong Yi's brewing, but she can say it, although it is only a half-word, it is already very convincing.

"Ahem...... My vision in my previous life was really not ordinary......"

After being surprised, Nangong Yi glanced at Cai Wei with a weak heart, afraid that she would know that his actions in his previous life were not happy, in fact, he was also very dissatisfied with his indulgence in his previous life, he actually married so many women, and those women were so unbearable, what Li Ruizhu, He Lanna, Ning Huaixiu, Jing Xiaowei, and even Luo Xue's vicious poisonous woman were married by him, I really don't know what he thinks, these women can't even compare to Cai Wei's hair, and they panic when they think about it.

However, he was too careful, in Cai Wei's heart, the other Nangong Yi and her husband were not alone at all, so she didn't have the leisure to eat that boring dry vinegar, and she was focusing on another thing that Ning Huaixiu said at this moment.

According to Ning Huaixiu, two years later, there was a great drought in the Great Jin Congress, and the drought was very severe, and since this was the case, it was necessary to plan for it now, in case it was caught off guard in two years......

After Ning Huaixiu finished confessing, he was ordered by Cai Wei to be sent to the side hall to rest.

Nangong Yi was puzzled and said: "This poisonous woman has repeatedly plotted to kill you, why does Wei'er still treat her so kindly, according to my opinion, it is better to put her in prison first, let her be tortured and then delay her, and her unfaithful and unrighteous father actually followed her to murder you, I will definitely not let him go!" ā€

Cai Wei smiled: "What charges does Your Majesty plan to use to deal with Ning Huaixiu and Ning Chengxiang?" If she tells her crime to the outside world, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling her reborn identity, this matter is too unbelievable, no one will believe it, maybe it will add a crime of indiscriminate killing of innocents and wanting to add to it, so it is better to execute them in other ways, which can not only kill them, but also pick His Majesty cleanly, and also save the hearts of the people in the court, causing panic among the courtiers. ā€

When Nangong Yi heard Cai Wei say this, she laughed unconsciously, and said: "Sure enough, there is a wise woman, better than a man, if it weren't for the lady's reminder, the husband would have been reckless again, but I don't know how the lady plans to execute them, Ning Huaixiu, a poisonous woman, has repeatedly harmed you, don't spare her." ā€

Cai Wei smiled: "It's very simple, do you remember how your Empress Li died?" used the method of executing Empress Li to dispose of their father and daughter. ā€

"What Queen Li, don't use that woman to answer me, I can't remember what that woman looks like!"

Nangong Yi smiled and grinded his teeth in anger, "I am the only queen in my life, and you are the only woman, if you dare to talk nonsense, beware of the family law." ā€

His so-called family law is squeak, Cai Wei is most afraid of itching, every time she provokes Nangong Yi, the despicable man will catch her and press her down for a while, every time at this time, she will laugh to death, begging for mercy in every way, hating to give Nangong Yi two big blows, therefore, as soon as she heard the word "family law", she immediately obediently became a little daughter-in-law, and she didn't dare to make fun of men anymore.

"Ahem, Yi, what do you think about what Ning Huaixiu said about the drought in two years."

Cai Wei diverted the man's topic and shifted the man's attention to a more strict topic.

He said: "I don't have a good way to do this, and what I can do now is to buy as much grain as possible, build water conservancy, and keep it for irrigation when the drought breaks out, and then order the people to grow drought-tolerant grains, such as millet, millet, buckwheat, soybeans, and pumpkins." It is also necessary to order people to improve crops, improve farming techniques, and in short, do their best to fight drought. ā€

Cai Wei felt that Nangong Yi had thought very thoroughly, but after thinking about it, she still said: "Corn is a drought-tolerant plant, you can let the people plant more, even if there is a drought, the people can also have more harvests, it is much stronger than countless grains." ā€

At this time, there was already corn as a crop in the Great Jin Kingdom, but most of them were planted by northerners and had not been popularized, and many southerners had never heard of corn at all.

Corn has been planted in the space of Cai Wei all year round, because corn tastes sweet and very nutritious, has many effects such as calming the liver and relieving gallbladder and calming the lungs and heart, adjusting the appetizer and so on, so Cai Wei likes it very much, Nangong Yi also often eats corn porridge and corn tortillas made by Cai Wei in the space, and is very familiar with corn, but he does not know much about its drought tolerance.

However, he believed Cai Wei, so he nodded and said, "From next year, I will order a nationwide promotion, starting with the areas that are severely affected. In the year of the disaster, I will force the people to plant corn. ā€

"Well, I will try to grow more corn in the space and try to prepare more seeds for the people."

Cai Wei decided that from today onwards, the space will not plant those flowers and plants for the time being, and will plant those drought-resistant crops and keep them for the people to make seeds next year, although it will affect the business of Mi Fang Zhai, but for the sake of the people, it is worth making less money.

But that's not enough.

She thought for a while, and then said: "This time the earth dragon turned over, the treasury is already empty, and I don't have much money here, if I overhaul the water conservancy and Guangtun grain, I'm afraid it will be overwhelming, so I think it's better to put my previous plan on the agenda as soon as possible." ā€

The plan she said was to send people to various countries to do business and sell the treasures in her space, although the space was not large, but there were a lot of treasures in it, and if she sold them, plus the national tax revenue in the past two years, it should not be a problem to cope with the great drought in two years.

Nangong Yi listened, took Cai Wei in his arms, sighed and said: "Wei'er, if I hadn't met you, I really don't know what my life would be like, all these years, you have been helping me, this time it's not just me hugging your thighs, even my people have to follow me to hug your thighs." ā€

Cai Wei said with a smile: "What else can it be, it's nothing more than marrying Li Ruizhu as a wife, Ning Huaixiu, Helana, Luoxue and others as concubines, maybe even that Tuotuo will marry it, hey.... Hahahaha......"

Before she finished speaking, the man's hand holding her suddenly put it under her armpit, and the punishment creaked, Cai Wei regretted that she died, and blamed herself for a while, and now she had to laugh half to death, she laughed and begged for mercy again and again.

"I won't say it...... Hahahaha...... Oops, I don't dare anymore...... Hahahaha....... ā€

……

In a blink of an eye, the New Year has arrived, and on the day of the New Year, there are several happy events in the palace: the palace maids Xiaozhi, Zhaoqiu and Chunliu are all married, and they are married to Mo Liancheng, the shopkeeper of Yishantang, the guards around Nangong Yi, Chasing the Wind and the pillar of the Bafu Restaurant.

The marriage was set by Cai Wei in advance, and because she wanted to have a more lively happy event during the New Year, she set the day of their marriage on the New Year.

Nangong Yi didn't agree with them all marrying out at once, because Cai Wei was the most nostalgic, and she would not get used to it if she sent away all the powerful people around her at once. But Cai Wei insisted on doing this, these girls are not small, they should have their own lives, she is a high queen mother, it is not difficult to choose a few capable subordinates, so there is no need to delay their happiness for their own preferences.

In the morning, the three big palace maids were pulled up by the grandmothers in the palace to dress up, in the past few years, they have all followed Cai Wei's side, Cai Wei has not appreciated their space things, therefore, they are all white and tender, one by one like shallots.

They were dressed in bright red wedding dresses and delicate makeup, and they all looked beautiful. For these girls who have served Cai Wei faithfully for several years, Cai Wei is very generous and gives each of them a rich dowry, which is enough for them to spend their lives.

kowtowed to Cai Wei, Cai Wei was very reluctant, and told them a few words on how to be daughters-in-law in the future, and saw that it was almost auspicious before letting them out. The three of them got on the sedan chair, came out of the palace, and walked on the royal street, the people saw it, envious, and were very grateful for the kindness of the queen's mother, and some of the daughters who raised their daughters at home were even more determined, and when the daughters grew up, they had to let them enter the palace to be palace maids anyway, maybe they could have such a good opportunity....

Sent away a few girls, Nangong Yi and Cai Wei took three buns to eat breakfast together, the rules in the palace are that the staple food of breakfast in the New Year is rice cakes, yellow rice, and several exquisite side dishes such as steamed fish and pig hearts, which means that there is more than enough every year and all wishes come true.

During the meal, Mingzhu saw that the person serving had changed, and said in a milky voice: "Queen Mother, what about Chunliu and Xiaozhi, and Zhaoqiu, where have they gone?" ā€

Cai Wei touched her little head and said gently, "They are all old and married, and they will no longer serve by our side in the future." ā€

Yu'er raised her head and said innocently: "Queen Mother, will we get married when we grow up?" ā€

Cai Wei raised her forehead: "Only girls get married, you are a boy, you don't need to marry, when you grow up, your mother and father will marry you a daughter-in-law." ā€

Mingzhu listened, pursed her mouth, and said with a slight pink eye: "Queen Mother, then I have to marry when I grow up, and then like Chunliu and them, I will leave you and my father." ā€

"No!"

Without waiting for Cai Wei to speak, Nangong Yi had already answered for her, "When you grow up, your father will recruit you a son-in-law, and you will live in the palace in the future, and you will always be with your father, queen mother." ā€

When Nangong Yi said this, he was not comforting his daughter, but his true thoughts.

Although Mingzhu is still young, but he is his most beloved child, when he thinks that his beloved daughter will marry in the future and go to other people's families to be a daughter-in-law, Nangong Yi is very crazy, no, his daughter will not get married, marrying is also a recruitment, he wants to let his daughter live under his nose, if the future son-in-law dares to bully her daughter, he will kill her mercilessly, on the contrary, if the horse can treat his pearl well and give Mingzhu happiness, he will treat him like a parent, give him and his family the same treatment as the great favor and royal family.

Cai Wei smiled: "You also spoil children too much, how can there be a princess since ancient times."

Nangong Yi said categorically: "No, if you want to go out to build a mansion, these two boys will go out, Mingzhu will stay with us, her daughter is delicate, if she is bullied by others, and she doesn't dare to say it when she comes back, won't we all be in the dark." ā€

'Daughter delicate? Cai Wei didn't see where Mingzhu was delicate, this little girl looked cute, but she was actually a little Lori with a black belly, she didn't believe that she would suffer from the loss of the colt in the future. However, the father of the family decided that his daughter was delicate and insisted on bringing a horse into the palace, and it seemed that he had already made up his mind, so that she, the queen, would have nothing to do.

Forget it, no matter what, who makes the family love their daughter? Who said that the ancient people were patriarchal, this statement is absolutely not true in Nangong Yi, until this time, Cai Wei deeply realized how reasonable the statement that 'the daughter is the father's little lover in the previous life', Nangong Yi is so good to her daughter, so good that she is almost jealous!

In fact, Nangong Yi is good to her daughter, in addition to being her only daughter, a large part of the reason is because Mingzhu looks like Cai Wei, which is simply a miniature version of Cai Wei, and it is because of this that men cherish their daughters very much!

The meal ended in the controversy over whether the daughter would marry or enter the palace in the future, and whether she would build a mansion or live in the palace.

After eating, the family dressed, and went to Qixia Palace to ask the Emperor Taishang, the Emperor has basically not seen anyone in the past two years, only occasionally seeing Cai Wei, and borrowing a few scriptures left by Cihai Zhenren from Cai Wei, otherwise, even if it is the New Year's Festival, he will not see anyone.

This time I went to see, for some reason, the Emperor Taishang actually saw them, after the meeting, Nangong Yi took the family to kowtow to the Emperor Taishang, and the Emperor Taishang called them up and ordered them to sit down.

Not long after sitting down, the Emperor Taishang told them one thing, to be precise, it was his decision - he decided to leave the palace and go to the famous Tianlun Mountain to live in seclusion and practice, and leave after the first month, without the send-off of Nangong Yi's carriage and horse guards, he and Li Chunzong went quietly, and no one called to know, so as not to cause accidents.

Although Nangong Yi didn't have any feelings for the Emperor, he still didn't want him to leave. He is old, and he is used to it, no one around him to serve is not good at all, in the deep mountains and old forests of Tianlun Mountain, in case there is a sick person, there is no one in front of him, he can only wait for death, and Tianlun Mountain is in the north, and in winter, the snow covers the mountain, and the cold can even freeze the air out into a lump, which is not suitable for living at all.

However, although Nangong Yi said his thoughts, the Emperor Taishang was already determined to go, and he only informed them when he saw them today, not to discuss with them. Nangong Yi saw that he insisted on going, so he had no choice but to agree.

Coming out of Qixia Palace, Cai Wei saw that Nangong Yi was a little melancholy, so she said: "You don't have to worry about your father, the mother of the white-haired tiger is practicing in Tianlun Mountain, and when the father and Li Guoshi arrive at Tianlun Mountain, I can entrust them to the mother of the white-haired tiger, I think it should be fine, besides, Tianlun Mountain is extremely auspicious, maybe my father is there, and it is unknown if he can really practice and become an immortal." ā€

Nangong Yi nodded and didn't speak again, his feelings for this father were very complicated.

When he was a child, he admired his father very much, he wanted to be favored by his father, and he longed for the family to be blessed by his father, but as he grew older, his father disappointed him again and again, and his childhood admiration gradually turned into hatred.

Later, Cai Wei appeared in his life, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and his father's attitude towards him has also undergone a shocking reversal, slowly, their relationship broke the ice, and it became a relationship of father and son, and he also became the new emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom under the compulsion of his father.

To the emperor, he couldn't say whether he loved more or hated more, but when he heard that he was leaving, he felt a little melancholy, as if a memory of his past was about to be sealed in the vast Tianlun Mountain and disappear forever in his life......

Cai Wei knew that Nangong Yi's mood was quite complicated at this time, so she didn't disturb him, followed him, took the children, and went to the Empress Dowager to kowtow.

Nangong Yi's feelings for the Empress Dowager are very clear, if she doesn't like it, she just doesn't like it, because when he needed her protection the most when he was young, she stood in the team of Concubine Jin and was indifferent to Nangong Yi's pleas and pleas, which also became the reason why Nangong Yi couldn't forgive her.

The Empress Dowager knows this grandson's feelings for her, so she has been staying quietly in the harem, not daring to make trouble, during the New Year's holidays, when Nangong Yi came to greet her, she often tried to make up for the relationship between herself and her grandson, however, she didn't make a move when Nangong Yi needed her help the most, which would have made him no longer need her care, and her courtesy could only be regarded as a slap on the horse, flattery.

The Empress Dowager has regretted the things she has done more than once, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in the world, Nangong Yi is impossible to forgive her, she didn't deal with her, and let her continue to stay in the palace to enjoy the glory and wealth, which is already extraordinarily gracious, if you want him to be close to her, and want to show off her grandmother's identity in front of him, you can only wait for the next life......

After the peace was finished, the family returned to Shouxian Palace in a warm sedan chair, and as soon as they went back, a eunuch came to report that Prime Minister Ning suddenly died after getting up this morning, and the cause of death was unknown.

Nangong Yi sent the eunuch and asked Cai Wei: "Speaking of which, Ning Huaixiu is a hundred times more hateful than Prime Minister Ning, why didn't Wei'er kill her first, but killed Prime Minister Ning first?" ā€

Cai Wei smiled: "This is called psychological tactics, didn't you say that it was too cheap to kill Ning Huaixiu like this?" So I'm going to let her die slowly, scare her a little psychedelic powder, make her scared and scared every day, and let her die when I'm almost tormented, so that you don't think I'm cheap her. ā€

Nangong Yi was puzzled and said, "Anyway, I still left her a whole corpse, and I still think it's too cheap for her." ā€

Cai Wei is a descendant of Fuyou Island, and has accepted decades of modern thought, and can't do the kind of thing that the ancients did to divide the corpse of five horses and cut off the head of Ling Chi, in her opinion, it is already cruel to let a person suffer huge psychological torture before death, let her order a person to split the body of five horses or Ling Chi to burn, even if that person is the enemy of the person who has repeatedly harmed her and wants to take her life, she can't do it.

"Forget it, it is said that the most terrible thing in this world is not death, but waiting for death, it is already cruel for her to endure a long wait for death in the last period of her life, there is no need to make it so bloody, the killing is too heavy, it is against heaven and harmony." As he spoke, he led them into the space.

Tonight, they have to feast the ministers as usual, they have to accept the worship of the courtiers and the ladies in the Shuntian Temple, and they have to keep the New Year all night at night, so they take advantage of the free time now, and plan to sleep beautifully first, so that they can have the spirit to receive the courtiers at night and keep the New Year all night......

In order to sleep a little longer, Cai Wei also lit benzoin in the house to help sleep, otherwise Jin'er would wake up after a short sleep, and if he woke up, they would not be able to sleep. Therefore, when she ordered benzoin again, she deliberately ordered more, this benzoin is made of space flowers, it smells good, and it is harmless to the body, even if it is more, it doesn't hurt, it's just a little more sleep.

Benzoin was lit, and the family of five huddled into the big bed and fell asleep beautifully......

The little baby grows fast, the three milk buns often eat the food in the space and absorb the aura of the space, so they grow more than the children of the same age, and now the family sleeps in one bed is already very crowded, Cai Wei also mentioned yƬ to sleep in separate beds, but Nangong Yi was reluctant to let the children separate from him, insisted on squeezing to sleep like this, and said that he was tormented to sleep with a fragrance, Cai Wei couldn't resist him, so he had to go with him to prevent the children from sleeping too deeply and falling to the ground.

And the exercise between their husband and wife has to wait until the children are asleep and run to other rooms to do it, sometimes in the hot spring house, sometimes back to the dragon couch of Shouxian Palace, and sometimes in the farmland of the space, in the woods, on the swing under the banyan tree, they are still very young, it is when they are full of energy, and they do it very frequently, leaving traces of their love everywhere......

Benzoin worked so well that the family of five slept until late in the evening and woke up.

When she woke up, everyone was hungry, Cai Wei washed her hands and baked a few thin oil cakes, and asked Nangong Yi to take the children to the forest to find two wild eggs, pick two tomatoes and come back, and make them an egg drop soup to eat.

Although there is a sumptuous dinner in the evening, they have to socialize at the banquet, and the food at the banquet is not produced in the space, and they don't want to eat it, so it is absolutely necessary to eat before the banquet, so as not to starve for a while.

After eating, Cai Wei took them out of the space, returned to the bedroom of Shouxian Palace, and called the palace maid to come in to help them freshen up, change their clothes, and dress properly, before they sat in a warm sedan chair and went to Shuntian Palace.

In the Shuntian Palace, the civil and military officials have arrived, and the lady and the princess and the princess stay in the side hall, this era is relatively conservative, unless it is the family, men and women must not sit at the same table.

Cai Wei first followed Nangong Yi into the main hall, accepted the worship of the hundred officials, and after everyone sat down, she took Mingzhu to the east side hall to accept the congratulations of the women.

Du Shi is also in the team of the wife, although her husband is not a high-ranking official, and her grade is not enough to come here to congratulate, but only the fact that she is the biological mother of the queen mother is enough for her to appear on any occasion in the Great Jin Kingdom.

After the congratulations, all the women and princesses took their seats, Cai Wei sat on the main seat and one person and one table, the table was the golden phoenix banquet table, and the table was surrounded by gold embroidered table circumference.

During the meal, Cai Wei deliberately adjusted the atmosphere, and during the New Year, she also hoped that everyone would be happy, and it was better to talk and laugh together than to stick to the rules.

Du Shi said: "I heard that the three big palace maids around Niangniang are married, and the concubine is worried that there is no competent person around Niangniang, so she specially helped Niangniang choose three, all of whom are people that Niangniang knows, and they are almost trained, although she is younger, she can serve the queen for a few more years, as long as Niangniang is willing, she can come in and serve at any time." ā€

Cai Wei smiled: "Mother bothered, but I don't know which three of them are recognized by the palace, why don't you ask them to come in and show the palace." ā€

Hearing the queen's words, a little eunuch immediately went down and brought the people prepared by the Du family up.

It turned out that these three people were Zhaodi, Xiniu and Shuang'er. Zhao Di and Xi Niu were brought by Mrs. Shen Cui to Qingxian, because Cai Wei had revealed to Chrysanthemum that she wanted to marry the three palace maids around her, and Chrysanthemum said to her mother after returning home, Cui's had a heart, so she specially sent someone to return to Qingxian quickly, and brought Zhao Di's mother and daughter and Xi Niu's mother and daughter to the capital, and told Zhao Di Niang Yin and Xi Niu Niang that they wanted their daughter to enter the palace to serve the queen.

Zhao Di Niang and Xi Niu Niang wished that their daughter could follow the queen's side for a long time, so they were busy agreeing and happily handed over their daughter to Cui's family. Cui's invited the palace maid from the palace to teach the two little girls the rules, the two little girls were clever, and they learned it in a few days, and then they were taken to the Mu Mansion by Cui's family.

Du Shi listened to what Cui's said, and only then did he know that his daughter was going to send away a few big girls around her, so he put Shuang'er and Zhao Di Xiniu together and made up three, just to top the nest of the three big palace maids.

Shuang'er is the younger sister of the pair of little brothers and sisters that Cai Wei once saved in the hands of the seller selling buns, her brother Quan'er is now a small servant next to Wen'er, both brothers and sisters are delicate and clear people, although they are not very old, they are already important figures in the Mu Mansion, and they are very popular with Mu Zhongqing and his wife.

The three little girls are not yet ten years old, and they are all children who are not sophisticated in modern times, but in ancient times when children were precocious, these little girls already know how to seize the opportunities in their lives, and they also know how important it is to be a big palace maid for their future!

Seeing these three little girls, Cai Wei really couldn't bear it, such a young child should stay with her parents and take care of her, how can she take on the role of a palace maid who serves people.

When she expressed her concerns, the three little girls knelt down together, begging Caiwei to give them a chance, and claiming that if they were incompetent, Caiwei would let Caiwei expel them.

Cai Wei saw that they really wanted to stay by her side, so she had to accept them, but the names of these girls were too cheesy, so she gave Zhao Di the name Chunying, Xiniu gave the name Chunli, and Shuang'er gave the name Chunqiu, so that they temporarily took Xiaozhi, Zhaoqiu and Chunliu's nest, and let a grandmother who had accumulated years treat them for a while, and when they were fully adapted, and could be qualified for their positions, let go.

Chunying, Chunli and Chunqiu heard that the queen was willing to accept them, and kowtowed happily, which can be regarded as officially entering the palace.

At the beginning, Cai Wei didn't have much expectations for these three little girls, especially Chunying and Chunli, both of whom grew up beside their mothers, and they had never served anyone, and they were young, but they couldn't bear to brush off the kindness of their mothers and Cui's family, and there were three little girls who begged hard before they had to agree, but they made another preparation in their hearts.

She guessed that these little girls would not stay for a few days, and when they were fresh, they would be homesick, and they would not be able to stand the constraints of the palace rules, so they would be sent away naturally. After inspecting for a while, Cai Wei made up her mind, left them, and assigned them tasks to let them perform their duties.

A few little girls settled in the palace and started their new life journey!
