Chapter 146: The Bai Family's Treacherous Scheme
At dinner time, the four girls came in a row to Qin Nian Bai Qin'an.
"You just came, you don't have to be tired, and when you open your face tomorrow, you can be regarded as the aunt of Yonghou Mansion! Let's go back! Qin Nianbai sat on the soft sleeper and said in a calm tone.
The four of them retreated, and He Yan came in, and while untying the cloak on his body, he asked suspiciously, "Is it the maid that Madame bought newly?" ”
Qin Nianbai reluctantly put together his clothes, not angry, "The queen mother is afraid that you will be tired, so she gave four palace maids to be concubines for you, and the days have been selected for you, and you will open your face tomorrow ......"
He Yan frowned, the queen mother has always been generous, why did she suddenly do this to her own lady?
He walked over with a smile, took Qin Nianbai's hand, and said firmly: "I will bring them all back to the palace tomorrow and explain the reason to the queen!" ”
Qin Nianbai hurriedly stopped, in this way, wouldn't the queen hate herself even more!
"Let's slow down this matter first, and it's not too late to talk about it when the queen is in a better mood!"
The next day, He Yan was still busy disappearing, and Qin Nianbai was the only one who accepted the gift when it came to opening the faces of the four aunts.
Qin Nianbai sat on a high seat with a big belly.
Seeing that the time was almost up, it was not the four aunts who came first, but an old grandmother, who was wearing dark palace clothes, tall and combed hair, and a stern face.
As soon as he came in, he first bowed his head slightly, and then stood up straight, his tone was a little arrogant, "Mrs. Yuyonghou, the old slave is the upbringing grandmother of the respectful room, and this time I was ordered by Her Royal Highness the Queen to come over and admonish the four aunts!" ”
Although Qin Nianbai's face was calm, he had some doubts in his heart, although the queen had a good face, she was not a villain, since she gave these four palace maids to Yonghou Mansion, she was the slave maid of Yonghou Mansion.
She usually doesn't ask, but this one in front of her is probably with another intention!
Moreover, it is not the turn of the grandmother in the palace to admonish!
"I think Mama will be mistaken, the four aunts are the people of my inner house in Hefu, Mama wants to manage the inner house of the Hou Mansion, so where is I, the hostess, placed?" Qin Nianbai leaned back on the recliner with a smile and asked.
The grandmother raised her head and looked arrogant, "This is the order of the queen's mother, how dare the old slave be self-dedicated, if the lady doesn't believe it, you will know when you enter the palace and ask!" ”
"Do you have a queen's edict?" Qin Nianbai stretched out his hand to support his head and continued to ask with a smile.
Mama's face changed, and she shook her head and replied no.
"Then please Mama, go back and ask for the queen's decree to come again, send off!" Qin Nianbai waved his big hand in an unhappy tone, and the two guards outside came in and made a gesture of invitation to Mama.
"Mrs. Yonghou, if you dare to disobey the queen's decree, aren't you afraid of the crime of killing your head?" Mama squinted her eyes with hatred, rushed to the front, and scolded sharply.
She has gained the benefits of others, and this time she just wants to live in Yonghou Mansion in a grand manner on the grounds of admonishment, and train the four aunts to serve Yonghou well!
Qin Nianbai sneered, "It's better for you to say less of this kind of thing!" Playing the queen's signboard to deceive, once it is found out, it is a capital crime! ”
Mama snorted coldly and went out.
Qin Nianbai's eyes gestured to Xiao Qing, and Xiao Qing immediately found someone and quietly followed out.
As soon as Mama came out of the door, she was called by a little maid in the corner.
"Mama Li, why did you come out?" The maid questioned in an unkind tone.
Mama Li began to complain, "Ouch, don't you know, that Mrs. Yonghou is very cunning, the old slave can't fool at all, he has to ask for the queen's edict!" ”
"Alright, come with me to the young lady!" With a cold face, the maid took Mama Li into a carriage, which walked in the direction of the Bai family.
All of this was seen right by the little guy who came out.
At this end, Qin Nianbai had already received the gifts of the four aunts and sent them back to their respective courtyards.
"Madam, the carriage that Mama is sitting in is going in the direction of the Bai family, don't you want to keep an eye on the little one!"
The little guy came in, bowed respectfully, and said.
Qin Nianbai waved his hand and asked him to go down first.
She had already guessed seven or eight points in her heart, this time it was not the queen who was spontaneously difficult, it should be the Bai family.
In the evening, He Yan returned to the mansion from the training ground tiredly, and when he saw the four courtyards behind him decorated with lights, he knew that Qin Nianbai had received the gift of four aunts.
There was a little chill in his heart, Qin Nianbai pushed himself towards those women, didn't he feel a little jealous in his heart?
was about to ask Qin Nianbai, but was stopped by Xiaoqing at the door.
"Hey, Master Hou, you're back, Madam said, she's tired today and wants to rest early, so I won't eat with you, let you choose one of the four aunts to go."
He Yan didn't speak, he still entered the room with a cold face, and Xiaoqing didn't dare to stop him, so he had to retreat.
Qin Nianbai closed his eyes and was resting on the soft sleeper, when he heard He Yan's voice and pretended not to know.
"Are you really going to let me go to other women?" He Yan sat on the chair next to him and asked with a sideways face.
"The queen will send someone to collect Xipa tomorrow morning, you and I can't stop it, do you want to resist the decree?" Qin Nianbai still closed his eyes, and said in a light tone, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Can't stop it? So you're willing to let me go somewhere else? He Yan's tone was a little emotional, and he looked at Qin Nianbai seriously and asked.
Qin Nianbai sat up, her face was a little bad, and she thought to herself, this is the case, what can she do?
"However, people are going to come tomorrow to collect Xipa......" Qin Nianbai touched his stomach and whispered.
He Yan came over and hugged her directly, "I can only be yours, you can only be mine, we are one husband and wife, you don't need to be afraid of anyone, the sky is falling, I will hold it for you, you just need to give birth to a child with peace of mind!" ”
Qin Nianbai felt a trace of comfort in his heart, and deliberately pouted and said, "Then you are not even afraid of the queen?" ”
He Yan doted on her forehead and took a sip, if it weren't for her month-old and unsafe, I really wanted to spoil her again.
"By the way, I have one more thing to ask you! Is there anyone in the Bai family in the palace? Qin Nianbai suddenly thought that the Bai family might have something to do with the palace.
He Yan frowned, a little puzzled, "Bai family? Madame, what's wrong? ”
"Tell me!" Qin Nianbai said.
It turned out that Bai Zixuan's aunt entered the palace a few days ago and directly sealed Concubine Hui!
Knowing some of the sources, Qin Nianbai could sleep peacefully.
The next morning, before Qin Nianbai woke up, someone came to the palace.
"Let people wait first, don't disturb Madame's rest, and wait until she wakes up!" He Yan was already dressed neatly, with one hand behind his back and the other pointing at the maid who came to pay a warning.
The maid nodded and retreated, and He Yan played a set of punches in the courtyard in a happy mood.
"Lord Hou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please hurry over!" The guards ran in in a panic to pray, looked around at the people again, and said something carefully into He Yan's ear.
After He Yan listened, his face was heavy, he didn't expect the other party to move so fast!
"Someone!" He Yan said to the maid: "If the lady wakes up, tell her that everything will come according to her mood, and I will take care of it!" ”
Not long after He Yan left, the people outside couldn't wait, and sent someone over to invite Qin Nianbai.
"Our Hou Ye said, wait for Mrs. to wake up, go back and let your grandmother wait!" The person who came was unceremoniously scolded back by Xiaoqing.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Qin Nianbai had breakfast, and Xiao Qing told her that the people from the palace had been waiting for more than two hours.
"What, people have been here for a long time?" When Qin Nianbai heard this, he was only slightly surprised, and did not immediately get up and go over.
Xiao Qing handed her a piece of pastry, and asked in a low voice, do you want to go over now, Qin Nianbai shook his head, wait a while.
Xiaoqing naturally didn't understand, what was his wife waiting for? Do you want to wait for the grandmother to come and invite her herself? In this way, wouldn't it be to anger the queen!
"Madam, let's hurry over and send that person away early, it's not a problem that people have been in the house!"
Qin Nianbai slapped her forehead helplessly, and said with a smile: "On weekdays, I also said that you are a clever person, why haven't you grown at all, today you can take a good look, what am I waiting for!" ”
In less than a cup of tea, someone came outside, and it was actually four aunts, who were crying and mourning, kneeling in rows at the door of Qinghuan's courtyard.
Xiao Qing went out to take a look, hurriedly ran back, and said angrily: "Madam, those four people outside actually invited you to the main hall to meet the Grandma Parenting, what kind of inferior status are they, they dare to come and disturb you, I will drive them away!" ”
Qin Nianbai nodded his head and acquiesced.
The queen mother is powerful, but she is not easy to bully, He Yan is right, this time four people will come over, and I don't know how many people will come over next time.
The Hou Mansion is not a shelter!
The four aunts wiped their tears and came to the main hall, "Mama, Madame refuses to see us......"
The grandmother was dressed in a dark palace dress and had a stern face, which was somewhat similar to the one yesterday.
She put away her handkerchief, her wrinkled eyes narrowed like two black walnuts, and she walked over and slapped each of the four aunts hard.
"Useless slave, even Mrs. Lian's service is not good, I think you are tired of being crooked, come and call me!"
Mama commanded with a cold face, and the palace maid beside her took out the willow whip and beckoned to the four aunts, and they were indifferent to crying and screaming.
Qing Huan lived here, and the maids outside came to report, and the grandmother in the palace scolded the four aunts with a willow whip, saying that they didn't understand the rules and failed to serve the good lady and the marquis.
Qin Nianbai put down the cup in her hand and stood up excitedly, the show was coming, she tidied up her dress.
touched his bulging belly, and said guiltily: "Child, I'm sorry, your mother let you see such a means before you came to the world, but all this is to protect you!" ”
Along the way, Xiao Qing asked puzzledly, "Why are you so happy, that grandma is so presumptuous, we all know that you are the master mother of the Hou Mansion, doesn't she look down on you when she beats people under your hands like this?" ”
Qin Nianbai smiled, "The son can be taught!" ”
"Oh! The slave knows! Xiaoqing suddenly realized.
