24 concubines
Lin Mu'er drank the porridge with some doubts, it wasn't good last night, why did she come over overnight This Xie mother's face is about to squeeze out the water, the red apricot and green orange are also angry, only Lan Xue seems to have a trace of embarrassment, and her eyes are a little avoidant of herself.
After looking at it for a long time, these people still didn't say anything, Lin Mu'er was helpless, so she had to eat in two bites, put down her chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter?" All of them have such ugly faces! ”
"Master!" Seeing Lin Mu'er asking, Lan Xue put down the work in her hand, walked in front of Lin Mu'er, and knelt down in a daze!
"This is, what's going on?" Lin Mu'er was taken aback, and looked at Lan Xue with a face full of shame in surprise.
"Master, it's all the slave and maid, there have been a lot of things these days, and the slave and maid forgot to tell you about it, and now they come to say goodbye, slave and maid... That's when the slave remembered this! ”
"They? Who is it? Lin Mu'er was a little puzzled.
"Yes, it's the prince's two concubines!" Lan Xue lowered her head and squeezed out this sentence with some embarrassment.
"Concubine!?" Lin Mu'er was taken aback, and looked at Lan Xue in disbelief, concubine? How did this come out so well, and the concubine came out?
"Yes..."Lan Xue nodded in embarrassment, looked at Lin Mu'er's reaction, and immediately explained: "However, they are all rewarded by the emperor, and the prince can't shirk it, so he has to accept it, and the prince hasn't stayed with them once, just put them in the mansion to live and raise, and they have been in the mansion for peace and security, as if there is no such person, so... So the slave didn't take this matter to heart, so she forgot to tell you, please punish the mother! Lan Xue said a lot in one breath, and finally leaned down and knelt down.
Hearing this, Lin Mu'er breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, this Jin prince has been fighting outside all the year round, and he is also the eldest is not small, he has never married, and it is normal to have one or two concubines, not to mention that this Jin prince has never rested with them, it sounds good to be a concubine, and it is not good, it is just a slave and maid rewarded by the emperor, Lin Mu'er is not entangled, and said: "So that's the case!" Get up, it's not a big deal, and since they're here, let them in! ”
"The master still has to pack up and go see them again!" Compared with Lin Mu'er's indifference, Mother Xie didn't dare to slack off at all, the concubines all came to the door, we can't lose the battle, and we can't be sloppy in dressing, so I dragged Lin Mu'er to the inner room to put on makeup and pull her hair, and tossed for half an hour before going out.
In the small living room of Weiyueju, two young girls were drinking tea with their heads down, and when they heard Lin Mu'er's footsteps coming out, they hurriedly put down the tea bowl, Lin Mu'er glanced at the corner of her eyes, one was wearing a blue long skirt, and the other was wearing a purple long skirt.
"The concubine is the princess!" The woman in the blue dress bowed her head and said goodbye.
"Concubine Manniang, see the princess!" The purple skirt is not far behind, bowing his head and bowing.
"Don't be polite, get up!" Lin Mu'er was expressionless, but she secretly exclaimed in her heart, these two people looked very good-looking, and their smiles and smiles were all merry, and even this voice was loud to the bones, and the bones of those who listened were almost crispy!
“
Thank you! ”
"Xie Niangniang!"
The two of them thanked each other and stood up.
"Sit down, green orange, watch tea!" Lin Mu'er still commanded quietly.
"Thank you, Niang!" The two were still respectful and polite.
Qingcheng quickly showed the two of them tea.
Yueniang glanced at Lin Mu'er, who was leisurely drinking tea, and said with a smile on her face: "I should have come to ask Niangniang for peace earlier, but Niangniang has a lot of things, and I am afraid that I will disturb Niangniang and make Niangniang unhappy, so it has been delayed until today, and I hope Niangniang will not blame!" ”
"Yes, a few days ago, Niangniang was sick again, and we didn't dare to come over, no, I heard that Niangniang was better, so we hurried over to ask for guilt. I hope that the mother will not worry about us! Manniang also squeezed out a smile and said.
These words were a little harsh, Lin Mu'er frowned, she is the mother of the house, they are concubines, in the final analysis, they are the masters, they are slaves, the masters are no longer available, they should also come to ask for peace, this will talk to the master in a tone of voice, as if they blamed them for their own fault. Lin Mu'er lowered her eyebrows and blew the tea leaves gently, "It doesn't matter if you come or not, it's just a matter of two more bowls of rice, since the emperor rewarded you to the prince, now, although the prince is no longer there, but this princess will definitely not get rid of you." ”
Although Lin Mu'er's voice was not loud, the words shocked the two of them to change their faces together! What do you mean that you won't get rid of them? This is a bright threat! The two of them couldn't sit anymore, so they quickly got up and knelt in front of Lin Mu'er: "Niangniang is angry, it's the concubines who don't speak properly, and I hope that Niangniang will dissipate her anger!" ”
"Yes, yes, it's our fault, no matter how busy Niangniang is, we should be waiting here, we did something wrong, and I hope Niangniang will spare us this time!" The two of them were busy begging for mercy, thinking that the princess was young and maybe she could handle it, but who knew that it was a hard stubble, and a few words lightly beat the two of them in the mud, and they couldn't get up!
"That's it, get up!" Lin Mu'er didn't want to worry about them, as long as she didn't make trouble for herself and stayed in peace, the palace would not miss a penny from them, and she just raised two more people around her, except for the diaphragm, it didn't hinder anything.
"Thank you for your magnanimity!" Seeing that Lin Mu'er didn't say anything more, but didn't want to embarrass the two of them anymore, Yueniang and Manniang's faces slowly improved, but they were still a little uneasy in their hearts.
"In the future, there is no need to come over to say goodbye, stay in peace, the palace will not treat you badly, if you let me know that you are in the palace, don't blame me, the princess, for being ruthless!" Lin Mu'er didn't want to entangle with them more, after all, she was the person rewarded by the emperor, and after explaining the words, the rest depended on what they did.
"Yes! The concubine body knows! The faces of the two changed and changed, and after all, they bowed their heads and saluted! Lin Mu'er didn't look at them either, still drinking tea slowly.
"Alright, let's go back!" Mother Xie also opened her mouth a little ruthlessly, she was already worried about the fact that the prince still had a concubine, but she didn't expect these two people to know what to do, and she thought about it the first time she asked for peace
With the master, it's really undertrained!
"Yes! The concubine is retired! "Mother Xie is Lin Mu'er's mother, she opened her mouth, it represents Lin Mu'er's meaning, seeing that Lin Mu'er has no other expression, although Yueniang and Manniang are full of grievances, they can only bow and retreat!
As soon as the two of them went out, Lan Xue on the side also walked to Lin Mu'er and knelt down: "Master, this time it's the slave's fault, the slave will not make such a mistake next time!" The first time she saw Lin Mu'er knocking someone so loudly, Lan Xue was also a little stunned in her heart.
"Get up!" Lin Mu'er waved her hand, "This matter is indeed your fault, but only this time, since this palace will only recognize me as the princess in the future, then I should know everything in detail." If everything is at a critical juncture, I will know that something has gone wrong, and I am afraid that there will be some consequences that you cannot bear! ”
"Yes, the slave knows, there will be no next time!" Lan Xue was ashamed in her heart, when the princess first got married, although she was also respectful and polite, she always had a little contempt in her heart, maybe the princess was young, or maybe she felt that the princess was not worthy of the princess, but in the past few days, the princess's various actions undoubtedly dispelled the little contempt in her heart. Although the princess is young, she is thoughtful and long-term, and more importantly, the princess treats people generously, and treats people like ordinary masters, but also thinks about them everywhere, and even their lifelong masters can allow them to choose their favorites. How many such masters can there be in the world? If you don't do your best, won't you live up to the great kindness of your master? Thinking of this, Lan Xue was even more determined to do a good job in the future!
"Alright, go to the study!" Lin Mu'er was still very interested, and she didn't take the two concubines to heart at all.
"Yes!" Lan Xue stepped forward to lead the way, "Master, out of Weiyue Residence, turn around the corridor and arrive, it's not very far!" ”
Lin Mu'er nodded, looked at the surrounding scenery along the way, and said with some jokes: "This palace, these weeds grow the most gratifying!" ”
The green orange and the red apricot laughed out loud, and Mother Xie also covered her handkerchief and smiled: "The master is used to laughing, didn't he praise the trees in the garden for growing well a few days ago!" ”
Lan Xue's face turned red, there were no flowers and plants in the yard, it would be late autumn, and the leaves were withering, and indeed the weeds on the ground were still a little green, so she said embarrassedly: "Ming'er slave and maid will send someone to take care of the garden, what does the master like, the slave and maid let people buy it!" ”
Lin Mu'er smiled: "I don't have anything I particularly like, just plant some good flowers and plants according to the solar terms, plant some peach trees and plum blossoms, and the flowers are festive to watch!" ”
"Good!"
"Don't get some precious delicate flowers and plants, don't bother to take care of them, the flowering period is not long!" After thinking about it, Lin Mu'er commanded again.
"Yes, the slave has written it down!" Lan Xue nodded seriously.
"A few days ago, the master also said that the prince should plant something that is easy to feed, and when it is his turn, he will also plant something good to feed!" Qingcheng said with some amusement.
Lin Mu'er was stunned, indeed, those delicate and weak
Flowers and plants, I really don't want to thank you, just look at it occasionally, let yourself bother to take care of it, waste money not to mention, you may not be able to take care of it well, it is better to plant something simple and lively.
On the cloister are some intertwined branches, densely covering the top of the entire cloister, "What kind of plant is this?" Lin Mu'er looked up, thinking that it was summer, and this was a good place to cool off.
"Back to the master, this is a wisteria flower, wait until next spring, the strings of purple flowers will look good!" Lan Xue replied, the wisteria flowers in this corridor are not inferior to the lotus flowers in the garden, and they are also a rare beauty in the palace!
"Oh?" Lin Mu'er nodded with interest, "I'll have to take a good look at next spring!" ”
Turn the cloister and the study will be there. A few mansion officials were guarding the door, and when they saw Lin Mu'er coming, although they were flustered, they still bowed and retreated very wisely.
