Chapter Ninety-Six: A Trap

As soon as Wu Lin's words came out, the people in the entire Bowei Houyun instantly calmed down, yes, this problem also involves a very important matter, if Rose is still treated like this when she has already declared her identity, then these things that these people do to Rose are not a trivial matter, but a contempt for the majesty of Xu Youshan, the princess, this is a big deal.

And Rose also understood this question at this time, so Rose's face turned white, but after she was silent for a while, she suddenly raised her head and said affirmatively: "Mother Wu, when the slave maid first went to the big kitchen, she had already indicated that this was to be sent to the princess for dinner. The digression is that even if Rose hasn't had time to show that she is Xu Youshan's maid, but she has already said the meaning of giving orders to Xu Youshan, these people still dare to insult and bully her like this, then this is clearly contempt for Xu Youshan, the princess.

"Princess, the old slave's question is over." Wu Lin no longer had any expression on his face at this time.

And Xu Youshan's face has no expression at this time, even the coldness that scared Rose just now has completely retreated from Xu Youshan's face.

"Chu Dai, even mother." Xu Youshan suddenly called.

"The slave is here." Chu Dai and Lian's mother hurriedly walked out of the crowd and answered.

"You two go to the big kitchen with Rose and the ten mothers-in-law now, and ask Rose to bring me all the people who have just abused and bullied her, especially the one who knocked Rose down in the first place." Xu Youshan said quietly.

"Yes, Princess." Even mom was fine. Chu Dai and Rose were both happy on their faces, and then after the three of them saluted the back of Xu Youshan, who had already walked towards the house, they hurriedly picked ten mothers-in-law with Lian's mother. Walking towards the big kitchen.

And Xu Youshan, who entered the house, sat down on the kang in the center, looked at Wu Lin's family, Liu's mother and Yuedai who came in with her and asked, "What do you three think?" ”

Wu Lin replied first: "Back to the princess, this is a trap. ”

Mother Liu then said: "Mother Wu is right, this is obviously a pit dug for you, and I am looking forward to you jumping down." ”

Wu Lin and Liu's mother both had the same opinion, and Xu Youshan looked at Yue Dai. But Yue Dai was confused, so Xu Youshan directly skipped her look at Wu Lin and Liu's mother, and said, "Yes." This is a trap that someone else dug for me, and this trap was dug very cleverly, so that even if I found out that it was a trap, I had to take the initiative to jump down. ”

The corners of Xu Youshan's lips curved a shallow arc. It's not a smile. And the subtle trap that someone dug for her was also amused. But who? On the first day after Xu Youshan's wedding, she dug a trap for her like this, so that if she let her maid be bullied, wouldn't her majesty in this palace be gone in the future?

But if Xu Youshan dealt with this matter and cleaned up the people who bullied her and got a maid, then the evaluation of her in this palace would not be very good, and she would have married on the first day of the palace. is so aggressive, and there is no room for the old people. Even after this day, the people in the palace will also be detached from her.

But even so, Xu Youshan still has to jump into this trap, if she doesn't pay attention to it this time, what will the people who follow her think in the future? If Xu Youshan can't protect them, how can they rest assured that they can do things for her wholeheartedly? Therefore, even though Xu Youshan had already seen that something was wrong with this matter, she still did not avoid the reason.

Besides, in fact, even if everyone in this palace has a bad evaluation of Xu Youshan, the princess, so what, she doesn't care much anyway; Xu Youshan cares more about these people who followed her from the Xu family, these are all Pei's carefully selected companion rooms for her, not only are they the children of the Xu family for generations, they have a simple background, they can definitely be trusted, and they are all capable, smart and clever people, so they can be trusted and capable people, even if Xu Youshan is for them to cold the hearts of strangers in this palace, for her, she must not be cold.

Therefore, Xu Youshan didn't think much about it just now, and immediately asked Chu Dai and Lian's mother to arrest someone.

And after Chu Dai and Lian's mother left for a while, the little maid's announcement was suddenly remembered outside the room: "Princess, Sister Chu Dai and Lian's mother are back." ”

"Coming back?" After Xu Youshan, Wu Lin's family, and Liu's mother glanced at each other, Xu Youshan got up and said, "Then let's go out and meet and see where these people are." ”

Wu Lin and Liu's mother followed behind Xu Youshan, and Yue Dai walked out slowly with Xu Youshan in her arms, because Xu Youshan originally thought that if this person was brought over, it would definitely be a large number of people, because in the description of Zi Rose just now, the number of people was not a lot. Therefore, now Xu Youshan is under the porch outside, waiting for Chu Dai and Lian's mother to bring those people.

But to Xu Youshan's surprise, the shadowy figure appeared at the gate of Bowei Houyun, and after Xu Youshan saw who they were, Xu Youshan found that it was not Chu Dai and Lian's mother who walked in the front, but an old mother Xu Youshan had never seen. And this old lady looks about forty years old, and her long hair that has been combed is not messy, but it is already gray and gray. But contrary to these gray colors, this old woman's face is very tough, and people will know at a glance that this old woman is afraid that she has been in power for a long time.

"The old slave sees the princess."

This old lady wears a gilt and silver-inlaid beaded hairpin, a pair of rice-grain-sized Nanzhu earrings on her ears, and a Ruyi pattern gown with white flowers on a blue background and a long skirt of lake silk plain...... Nanzhu and Hu Silk, Xu Youshan let go of the hand holding Yuedai, slowly moved around to the bottom of the stone steps, personally helped the old woman, and said with a smile: "You must be His Royal Highness's nurse, Mama Zhao, right?" Hurry up, please. ”

Mama Zhao, it is said that she was the personal palace maid next to Xie Jing's biological mother, Queen Zhen, although she was once released from the palace by Queen Zhen to marry and have children. But when Queen Zhen was unable to give birth to Xie Jing, before she died, she actually personally designated Mama Zhao as Xie Jing's nurse. And this is almost the last life of Tuogu, Mama Zhao has never lived up, just after Queen Zhen's funeral, Mama Zhao left her husband and only a five-month-old child, and stepped into this bottomless deep palace garden, taking on the role of Xie Jing's nurse, and in the following ten years. Mama Zhao never left Xie Jing again.

And Mama Zhao is for Xie Jing, these kindnesses may be too heavy, and he can't repay them endlessly. What's more, these are still known to the world, so what does the world not know in that treacherous and frightening palace?

Therefore, after Xu Youshan learned about the character of Mama Zhao at the beginning. She's the one she's got to be the top of the list. Because in Xu Youshan's later life, Mama Zhao may be a stranger, or she may be a ...... Enemies, after all, everything in the world is impermanent.

"Princess Xie." And after Xu Youshan smiled and helped Mama Zhao up, Mama Zhao got up calmly, and then said to Xu Youshan: "Princess, the old slave is here to ask for sin." ”

Xu Youshan's eyebrows jumped. As if surprised, he asked, "Why did Mama Zhao say this?" ”

"Princess Qiyu, what just happened in the big kitchen. The old slave also just got the news that the old slave was unable to discipline and let these slaves shock the princess and your maid, and the old slave specially came to ask you for the guilt. ”

Mama Zhao, who was standing in front of Xu Youshan, had her eyebrows and eyes lowered, her body was slightly bent, she looked really polite and thoughtful, and she couldn't pick out the slightest mistake. But Mama Zhao's calm and unhurried demeanor made it difficult to see that she was pleading guilty to Xu Youshan. And the situation that others can see, how can Xu Youshan, the party, not see it? It's just that Xu Youshan's expression is faint now, so that others can't see what she is thinking, including Chu Dai, who is already a little anxious on her face now, she can't even see what her young lady means at this time.

"Mama Zhao said seriously, this is just a few minions in the big kitchen who made mistakes, how can it still involve your head, you are in charge of such a big palace, how can there be hundreds of people in the palace, there are one or two young people, that is also understandable, isn't it? You don't have to blame yourself so much. Xu Youshan said softly.

But Mama Zhao smiled when she heard this, and said: "The princess is broad-minded, which is really incomparable to the old slave, but the palace has a law, and these people will be punished if they make mistakes, and please don't be merciful, please let the old slaves punish them severely, after all, the family rules in the palace of Chu are very strict, and no one can violate them, and please understand." ”

After Mama Zhao's words were finished, almost all the clouds in the clouds were quiet, and Wu Lin and Mama Liu looked at Mama Zhao with deep eyebrows, but at this time, Xu Youshan still didn't have any major changes in expression, and after being silent for a while, she looked at Mama Zhao with a calm face, and also smiled lightly: "What Mama Zhao said is yes, there are many rules in the palace, and the law is strict, so of course no one can overstep the rules, so I don't know if Mama Zhao will deal with these slaves who have crossed the rules?" After all, in this palace, the majesty of His Royal Highness and this princess should be the most unprovoked, otherwise wouldn't this be disrespecting the heavenly prestige of the saint? ”

Xu Youshan is indeed just a concubine, even if she is the daughter of Jiangzuo's Xu family, but the concubine is a concubine, in the eyes of the people here, her identity and bloodline are more than one level lower than Xu Yourong, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Mingwen, not to mention Xie Jing, in the eyes of the people here, Xu Youshan is definitely not worthy of Xie Jing.

But no matter how much they think that Xu Youshan is not worthy of Xie Jing, but the fact that she was personally accused by Emperor Zhou Hui as Concubine Xie Jing is an ironclad fact is an ironclad fact, and Emperor Zhou Hui pointed out the marriage and gave the holy decree, then Xu Youshan's identity as the princess of Chu is not generally expensive, not to mention anything else, just because Emperor Zhou Hui gave him a marriage, Xu Youshan can have a lot of room to play.

So now, after Xu Youshan moved out of Emperor Zhou Hui personally referred to her as Xie Jing's concubine, and she was a holy concubine, Mama Zhao was actually a meal, although Mama Zhao regained her calm look later, but Xu Youshan still caught the anger in Mama Zhao's eyes at that moment.

How do you hate her? Xu Youshan was a little surprised.

"What the princess said is that these minions have offended you, and according to the rules of the palace, they will be relegated to the pulp washing room." Mama Zhao lowered her eyes, so that Xu Youshan could no longer see the emotion in her eyes, and said slowly.

As for the pulp washing room, it can be said to be the dirtiest and most bitter place in the mansion, because it is responsible for the washing of the clothes of almost hundreds of people in the palace, and it is generally the responsibility of the criminal slaves, and Mama Zhao's punishment for these people who just bullied Rose and provoked Xu Youshan's majesty is appropriate, so Xu Youshan nodded without changing her face, and agreed: "Mama Zhao is punished properly, then do it according to your wishes." ”

"Yes, princess, the old slave will retire."

"Mama Zhao, please."

From beginning to end, Xu Youshan didn't look at the maids and mothers-in-law who were tied up by Mama Zhao, and after Mama Zhao left, Xu Youshan immediately sank her face, took Yuedai's hand and turned around and entered the house, Wu Lin's family, Liu's mother, and Chu Dai naturally followed Xu Youshan into the house.

As soon as she entered the room, Xu Youshan sat down on the kang in the center of the lobby, looked at Chu Dai and asked, "How did you meet Mama Zhao?" ”

Chu Dai immediately said about the cause and effect of the matter: "Princess Qiqi, we just went to the big kitchen on your order, and when we wanted to bring those few people to Bowei Houyun, we saw that outside the big kitchen, there were already a group of people there, and several of them were tied up and kneeled there, and among those people, surrounded by everyone, it was the Zhao Mama just now, as soon as Mama Zhao saw us, she came forward and said that she wanted to see you. But about this Mama Zhao, you told us a thousand times before you came to the palace, so the slave maid also asked Mama Zhao if there was anything wrong, but Mama Zhao only said that she came to ask you for the guilt, and the rest refused to say more, so the slave and maid did not have any disputes with Mama Zhao to bring her to meet you. ”

Chu Dai told everything that happened, and after listening to it, Xu Youshan muttered: "You did the right thing, try not to have too much dispute with this Mama Zhao in the future, even if there is, we can't ignore it, do you know?" ”

"Princess, the slaves and maids know." The four members of the Wu Lin clan all replied respectfully. (To be continued......)
