"I just want to ask the chief steward something, why don't you go to Dongjima for a cup of tea?"

The chief steward raised his hand, "Madame has a life, and the little one doesn't dare to disobey." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In the east room, Shen Jingyi ordered someone to serve tea, and the chief steward said politely: "Thank you, Mrs. Shizi." ”

Shen Jingyi smiled, "The chief steward is already in his sixtieth year, and he is a real old man in the mansion." Neither knowledge nor experience can be compared to me, and in the future, many things will depend on the help of the chief steward. ”

When the chief steward heard this, he hurriedly raised his hand, "Don't dare, although Mrs. Shizi is young, she is resolute and resolute, calm and introverted." What the prince said is right, hand it over to Mrs. in the back house, and it will definitely not be bad, if it is useful to get the old slave, the old slave will definitely do his best. ”

Shen Jingyi smiled slightly, it turned out that Chen Yu had already arranged it, thinking of this, she said: "Then it's hard work, at the moment, there is really something to do, and I want the big steward to help." ”

"Madame, please."

"Some of the original companions and servants of the prince's mother have been driven to places like other villages, and they have to work hard to help me recall them to see them."

"The old slave obeys the order, and he will bring someone to you in a few days." The chief steward said, ate tea, and didn't stay any longer. When he got up, Shen Jingyi ordered Pearl to stuff him with a purse.

It is not strange that many people are polite, although it is Chen Yu's person, but there should be no less.

When the chief steward left, Pearl stepped forward and said, "Miss, those stewards are clamoring to see the old lady, ...... look?"

"They said they were going to see you?"

"But what if the old lady blames her?"

"Even so, so what, it's an indisputable fact that they made mistakes, am I wrong to punish them?"

Besides, the old lady treats her like this, does she really think she doesn't care? This time, she was going to cut her and give her a wake-up call.

Even if she marries into the Chen family, there is a Hou Mansion behind her, and she is not a helpless person, so she can be at her disposal.

Pearl seemed to understand the key and nodded, "There are so many vacant places in the mansion at this time, even if the people of the prince's mother are transferred back, I am afraid that they will not be satisfied, miss, do you want to arrange our people in?" ”

Shen Jingyi didn't think about this question, she looked at the things that those people coveted, if she dealt with it later, she was afraid that then all these disasters would be her turn.

However, it is not necessary to arrange her people in, "Not for the time being, and we'll see later!" ”

"Yes, miss." Pearl should be, in fact, it is understandable to do this, but their young lady thinks about Chen Yu.

Shen Jingyi thought about it and felt that there were some problems with the Dong family today, so she asked her to check her details, "...... In addition to this matter, you will sort out the mistakes and evidence of those people for me, and when the prince comes back, show him it again, and then send it to the old lady and gag her. ”

Pearl's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Yes, Miss, the slave will do it." ”

Shen Jingyi smiled, then turned her head to look at the green whisk, "Follow me to the book and put it away." So saying, he got up and left.

There was still some pain in her waist and legs, because she didn't walk fast.

Green Whisk hurriedly followed.

In the study, Shen Jingyi dipped her pen in ink, and just wrote a few sentences, she suddenly looked up and said, "Hasn't anything happened in the Hou Mansion recently?" ”

Lu Fu nodded, "The slave maid has sent someone to watch, and several masters and young ladies have never left the house, and nothing has happened." ”

"Does it seem calm," Shen Jingyi muttered, "Come to think of it, it should be soon." ”

"Miss, what's going on?" Midori asked, pausing his hand.

Shen Jingyi glanced at her and said with a smile: "You say, when will it snow this year?" ”

"This slave doesn't know much! However, it seems to be getting soon, and it's been cold for the past few days. ”

"It's cold, and I'm going to have to order someone to make winter clothes when I go back." After Shen Jingyi finished speaking, she quickly finished writing the letter in her hand, sealed it, and handed it to Lu Fu, "You personally send it to the Hou Mansion, and you must hand it over to the uncle." ”

Seeing this, Green Whisk didn't dare to delay, "Yes, the slave will go!" ”

Shen Jingyi bowed her head and watched her leave, but she still sat in front of the bookcase and did not move.

It's already winter, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy in Cining Palace, this year, it will definitely be very lively.

In the imperial city, in the Cining Palace, the north wind is blowing, and the palace is not like before, warm and lively.

In the dormitory, it was cold, and on the bed, the Queen Mother was being served by Aunt Hui to take medicine.

"Queen Mother, you must not fall, now the King of Qi is still looking forward to meeting you, you must hold on!"

As if hearing her words, on the bed, the old, silver-haired old man slowly opened his eyes, and his cloudy eyes skimmed, "Why is it so cold?" ”

Aunt Hui paused and said in a low voice: "The Salary Division did not supply carbon materials, and the slave maid went to get it, but said that there was no more." ”

"Presumptuous ......" was about to say a few words, she gasped, and the phlegm in her throat became heavier, so frightened that Aunt Hui hurriedly put it down, helped her up and patted her back, and took out a spittoon to wait for her to spit out the phlegm.

Aunt Hui swept her eyes, the phlegm was almost bloody, suddenly, her heart jumped, but her face was calm: "Queen Mother, hurry up and drink the medicine, only if you get better quickly, can you turn the tables, right?" ”

"What you said was," the Queen Mother propped herself up, and Aunt Hui put a big pillow behind her to lean on, "The emperor is now deliberately trying to force me to death, how can I let them get their wish?" ”

"Queen Mother, what are you going to do?"

"Send a message to King Qi, so that he doesn't have to worry about me, let's do it!"

"Queen Mother," Aunt Hui's eyes widened, "But, will it be too early now, everything in the DPRK and China has not yet been settled, if you act rashly, I am afraid that it will ......"

"The Marquis of Zhongyong has now lost his military power, and if he does not return to the account of King Qi, it will be a dead end. Moreover, there are two cities with military power in hand, and when the king of Qi attacks the imperial city all the way, he can join forces inside and outside. Anyway, I won't live long, and at that time, giving King Qi an excuse to crusade can be regarded as a well-deserved death. ”

Aunt Hui was taken aback, "Queen Mother, do you want to sacrifice yourself?" If King Qi knew, he would definitely not agree. ”

"Since your life is short, why don't you do something useful, it's better than being here and being boiled to death by them." The Queen Mother took the medicine in her hand, "You don't have to persuade me, I have made up my mind, you just have to do what I tell you." As she spoke, she drank the medicine in the jade bowl in one gulp.

Seeing this, Aunt Hui had red eyes, "Yes, the slave and maid will obey the will of the Queen Mother." ”

Outside the door, a figure quietly left.

That night, the Hou Mansion received a letter, and Shen Zhi called Shen Nan to talk in the study all night, and at dawn, Shen Zhi finally made up his mind.

He burned the two letters in front of him one after another, and said, "Yizhi, we have no way out, only this is the case." ”

Shen Nan bowed his head, "But according to my father's orders!" ”
