Time passed day by day, and Xia Cicada slowly adapted to her current life. Get up early every day, like an ordinary maid in the house, clean up, prune flowers and plants. Several girls' families got together to gossip. The days are uneventful, but I feel very fulfilling.

It's been almost half a month since I came to Wenfu. Wen Zhongnan has not appeared for half a month. Three days ago, the queen mother had returned to the palace. The prince's wedding date was also set. The fifteenth day of the next month is said to be an auspicious day that is rare in a century. They will be married on that day.

So the qiē seems to be following their trajectory. No surprises, no novelties. And rightfully so.

And she, after half a month of adaptation. Finally, the Wen Mansion was thoroughly explored. The current head of the Wen family is Prime Minister Wen's wife. Zhou. It is said that this Zhou is not Prime Minister Wen's original wife. At the beginning, Zhou was just a maid next to the original wife. Later, Prime Minister Wen took a fancy to being a concubine. After the original wife died of illness, he was mentioned as a wife by Prime Minister Wen.

Zhou gave birth to two girls and a boy. They are Wen Zhongyuan. The eldest young master of Wenfu. The eldest lady smells the fragrance. Now married. The husband is the son of the squire of the military department. The youngest daughter Wenyi. Sixteen years old. She is a well-known talented woman in the capital.

Compared with the noble status of several of them, Wen Zhongnan was much more humble. The son of a concubine. Wenfu concubine. Lost his mother at an early age. Raised by a nurse. Before he was ten years old, Wen Cheng ignored him. When he was ten years old, Wen Zhongnan saved Prime Minister Wen's life because of an accident. Since then, Prime Minister Wen has begun to pay attention to this son whom he has ignored for ten years.

Maybe it's because of guilt, maybe it's for another reason. Anyway, since that time. Wen Cheng is also a dutiful father compared to Wen Zhongnan.

The Wen family and the Wen Guifei in the palace, the three princes are grasshoppers on a rope. Their greatest enemy now is the crown prince. It is said that many ministers under the crown prince were once supporters of the three princes. For this reason, the struggle between the Zhao family and the Wen family became more and more intense. Above the court, there is almost a **** open and secret fight. But every time, I was indifferent to Zhao Qiyun's indifferent attitude.

Baili Chenxi has been on the throne of the crown prince since he ascended to the throne. The emperor will let the prince sit aside almost every time he goes to the early court, and he will help the emperor to review the music when he goes to the next court. The emperor's self-evident attitude shows his love for the crown prince.

The more the emperor loved the crown prince, the more passive the three princes and the Wen family became. Not only has Wen Zhongnan not appeared these days, but even Wen Zhongyuan has not appeared in the Wen family once. Xia Chan once figured it out. What the hell is going to make them go away for so long, one by one.

However, she didn't notice anything unusual from the prime minister. Prime Minister Wen is still the same as before, up and down. Occasionally, find some colleagues to go to the restaurant for a drink. Play chess. Life is not comfortable.

"Sister Erya. Why are you in a daze here again. Mama Li, who was beside Madame, had just sent someone over. It is said that there will be distinguished guests in the house today. Let's go to the front office to help, too. Chaeyoung hurried in from the outside. After seeing Xia Cicada sitting on the bed, he looked pensive. Immediately run to the bed. Pulling her and going out.

Xia Chan came back from her contemplation and glanced up at Chaeyoung. Then he shouted anxiously, "Wait a minute." I haven't put on shoes yet. Chaeyoung, why are you in such a hurry? Haven't I finished my work and finally took a break? Just spare me. Xia Chan shook off Chaeyoung's hand. As soon as he rolled over, he fell on the bed and began to play tricks.

Caiying glared at Xia Cicada angrily and funny, and immediately stepped forward and reached out to pull Xia Cicada again. Xia Chan's eyes were quick, and he dodged and dodged Caiying's attack. Seeing this, a flash of anxiety flashed on Chaeyoung's face.

"Sister Erya. Come with me. Otherwise, when the lady blames her, the two of us will have to eat the board. ”

"Ma'am?" Xia Chan had a look of doubt on his face. Then he sat up and looked at Chaeyoung with a stern expression.

"What did you just say. What madame. What the hell is going on. "Aren't they only responsible for cleaning this courtyard? And what is the situation of the lady, is it possible to hear that Zhong Nan's stepmother is here.

Xia Chan thought of this, and turned over and picked up from the bed. Bed, Shoes quickly ran to the door of the house and glanced outside. When he saw that there was nothing outside, he turned around and glared at Chaeyoung unhappily. Then he lay back on the bed.

"Okay, Chaeyoung. Stop it. I'm going to sleep. ”

Chaeyoung didn't expect Xia Cicada to get up and fall asleep like this again. Just as she looked surprised. There was an angry shout outside the door. Chaeyoung trembled with fright. Then he quickly lowered his head. Xia Chan heard the sound coming from outside the door, and a trace of doubt crossed her heart. Subconsciously glanced at Chaeyoung. After seeing Chaeyoung's face. Think about what Chaeyoung just said. A bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart.

"Caiying, the lady you just talked about can't be Prime Minister Wen's wife?"

Chaeyoung glanced up at Xia Chan with an expression that you finally understood. Then he quickly lowered his head. Mama Li is Madame's personal mother. I've been with my wife for twenty years. It is Madame's most trusted grandmother. Today, if Mama deliberately makes things difficult for them. I'm afraid they can't miss a meal.

"Okay. You two dead girls. Dare to hide here and be lazy. Watch me find someone to break your dog's legs. Mama Li said, turned her head and shouted to the guards beside her, "Someone's coming." Take both of them down for me. Twenty rods. ”

Twenty rods? Xia Chan raised her head sharply and looked at Mama Li in disbelief. Then a haze flashed in his eyes. Chaeyoung's face was flustered, and her face turned pale. The guards beside Mama Li listened to Mama Li's instructions, and walked forward quickly to beat the two of them down and hit the board.

"Wait." Seeing that the guards were about to pull Xia Chan, Xia Chan quickly stood up from the bed and looked at Mama Li with a displeased face. "Mama Li, right? I don't know why Mama Li didn't even give us an explanation as soon as she entered the door, so she had to hold us accountable. Could it be that this is how Wenfu educates minions? Or is it that Prime Minister Wen can ignore the rules and etiquette because of his official residence? ”

"You...... What are you, you dare to teach me a lesson. I think you're getting impatient. Look at how you are so naïve. You're new here. Hmph, no wonder. Has no one sued you? In our Wenfu. Madame is the rule. It's the king's law. Do you all have to listen to Madame in Wenfu? ”

"Mama Li's words are not too arbitrary. Could it be that Mrs. even has to meddle in the backyard of her concubine? Or Mrs. likes to meddle in other people's backyards. I heard that Madame was also a slave back then. It's still a good life for Madame. Just forget your origins? ”

Mama Li has been in the habit of following her wife over the years, and not being touted by other subordinates. It's been a long time since anyone has said that. And what she is in front of her is still a milky little girl. The muscles on Mama Li's face were twitching. Stretched out his hand and pointed at Xia Cicada and said loudly

"Bastard, what are you. How dare you say that about our wife. Come on, slap my mouth. I'd like to see how bold you are. Hum. Bite off more than one can chew. ”

Mama Li's voice fell. Just now, the two guards walked towards Xia Cicada again. Seeing this, Xia Chan secretly screamed in his heart. I was just relieved for a while. I forgot that this is not Xiaojia Village, not Qingyang County. At that time, the capital was the maiden home of Concubine Wen. The uncle's house of the third prince. Now, if she resists, she may die sooner. But if she doesn't resist, if she is slaughtered like this, it is not her Xia Chan's style.

Hey, impulse is the devil. If I knew it was like this, I would have hit it twice. And a piece of meat is indispensable. At most, it suffers from some flesh and skin.

"Wait." Xia Chan looked at Mama Li again, "Mama Li." Madame asked you to come to us, I'm afraid it's not so that you can lay down Ma Wei in the courtyard of the second young master. ”

Mama Li's eyes narrowed slightly, remembering what Mrs. had said when she came just now. glared at Xia Cicada fiercely.

"Don't think I'm going to let you go if you say that. Aren't you hard-mouthed, well, I'll let you taste the consequences of a hard mouth. Let's go. Today we have a distinguished guest on the surface. Wait a minute, your skin will tighten me a little. If you wait a while and accidentally annoy your guests. That's not as simple as playing the board. ”

A look of surprise flashed across Xia Chan's face. This Mama Li obviously doesn't have such a good heart. Suddenly she was not punished. How do you think about it, how do you feel that she has other little calculations in her heart. But now, she doesn't seem to have any good way to listen to her.

Forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. See what she can come up with. Guest? Could it be the princess and prince from the palace? The Wen family's guests should be related to Wen Guifei. Could it be that Concubine Wen is out of the palace.

Xia Chan thought for a moment. Then he shook his head. Didn't the court drama say that the lady who entered the palace couldn't leave the palace casually. What's more, it's still her mother's family who wants to avoid suspicion.

So who could it be?

Xia Chan pulled Caiying to follow behind Mama Li with a puzzled face, and the group went to the front hall. I've been here for a while. Plus this time. Xia Cicada came to the front hall three times in total. The first two times were to receive things. I hurried back again. Today this time is different. She was going to stay in the front hall for a while, Xia Chan thought to herself, and a touch of joy appeared on her face. In the past few days of coming to Wenfu, she has been looking for an opportunity to check the news in the front yard. I didn't expect to have such a harvest inadvertently today.

"Sister Erya. I'm so scared. Why won't the second young master come yet? If the Second Young Master is here today, we will definitely not be here to help. Chaeyoung's face was cautious, and her face was as pale as before.

Xia Chan glanced back at Caiying with a puzzled expression. asked aloud: "Why is the second young master here, we don't have to go to the front hall to help." "Wen Zhongnan is a concubine, will the prime minister's wife still care about him.

Actually, Xia Cicada was right. Although Wen Zhongnan is a concubine. But because of his special status in Prime Minister Wen's mind. Prime Minister Wen did many exceptional things against him in Wenfu. For example, this one. It was also acquiesced by the Prime Minister.

Mrs. Wen was very unhappy about this. But because of the Prime Minister. She has always dared to be angry but not to speak. Seeing this, her personal mother, Mama Li, came up with such a solution for her. When he heard that Zhong Nan was not in the house, he tortured the servants in their courtyard. The same is true today.

The front hall is compared to the simplicity and gentleness of the green bamboo courtyard. The vestibule looks much more extravagant and grand. Today, because of the reason why you have distinguished guests, there are many more decorations than before. It makes the already unique vestibule look more temperamental.

Caiying carefully pulled Xia Chan. Step by step, I walked forward slowly. Mama Li walked at the front. The chubby body kept swaying from side to side because of walking too fast. From behind, the picture is a little too beautiful to look at.

Xia Chan walked behind, and kept staring at Mama Li when she was bored all the way. The smile on the corner of his mouth grew bigger. A big laugh broke out at the end. Chaeyoung walked beside Xia Cicada. I don't understand why Xia Cicada suddenly laughed.

However, before she could ask, they had already made their way to the antechamber. I saw a noble woman sitting in the middle of a busy front hall. Xia Cicada slowly looked at the woman along her gaze. The maintenance is good, the figure is also good, and the temperament has passed. It's just that she doesn't like those calculating eyes.

Xia Chan turned her head to look to the side. Mrs. Wen had just noticed Xia Cicada as soon as she entered the hall. When Xia Cicada looked at her, she was also looking at Xia Cicada. The dislike in Xia Chan's eyes was also accurately captured by her. A flash of displeasure flashed across his face. The hand holding the teacup slowly and firmly squeezes the teacup. looked at Xia Cicada with a gloomy face and said coldly

"What's your name. Say, "Who taught you to look at your master with that kind of eyes?" ”

Xia Cicada raised her head, her eyes narrowing slightly. Then he looked at Mrs. Wen with a respectful face. As if she hadn't seen that scene before.

"Back to the woman, the slave and the maid. The slave was very nervous when she first came to the front room. If the slave or maid behaves inappropriately, please don't mind. As for what the master said, what kind of eyes. The slave and the maid did not know. If the lady insists on the slave and maid admitting it. Mrs. Trouble, can you learn from the slave maid first? Let the slave and maid be a reference. ”

Mrs. Wen thought that since the death of Mrs. Wen, no one was her opponent. The smooth sailing of these years has also made her forget all about the past. Today, I was humiliated in front of a maid, and that strange and familiar feeling came out of my heart again. I can't hold it down. Swift and violent, like a flood, out of control.

"You...... You're so daring. Say that it was not taught by your master. What is his purpose. What did he let you do this for? ”

As soon as Mrs. Wen's words fell, a shallow footsteps sounded outside the hall. Xia Chan's hearing is more sensitive than ordinary people because of his martial arts practice. Seeing this, Xia Chan's originally calm face suddenly appeared with a touch of sadness. Then tears flowed down her cheeks and quickly flowed out.

"Woo, what the lady slave said is true. If Madame doesn't believe it. insisted on asking the slave and maid to admit that it was the slave and the maid who did it. For the sake of the lady, it doesn't hurt for the slave to admit it. I just beg Madame not to be angry anymore. Anger is easy to get old. Madame is so beautiful if the slave is angry. It's not worth it. (To be continued.) )
