Chapter 259: Three Concubines

"Then when will Dr. Xu come back, it seems that the house will have to invite a doctor to sit in the hall, otherwise what if someone is sick." Liu Mengyan said lazily.

"The main hall knows. Now sleepy. Tuoba Zeyan was also tired, and fell asleep as he spoke.

The next day, after Tuoba Zeyan accompanied Liu Mengyan to finish breakfast, he went back to Huiluan Courtyard to deal with some things. For example, Emperor Xuan newly rewarded him with several Zhuangzi, and he had to send someone to accept it, and the bill was settled.

Liu Mengyan had just sat on the couch and drank a cup of tea, when Mother Jiang and Mother Feng came.

"Princess, the three concubines are still in the courtyard. How are they settled? Mother Jiang walked out and said.

"They are all concubines rewarded by the Queen Mother. According to the management, each person will be given a place to live, and two maids will be sent over to serve. It's the same for all applications. Don't be lazy. Liu Mengyan said very simply.

"Princess Qiyu, the courtyards, pavilions, and pavilions in all parts of King Yi's Mansion are better. Are these three arranged separately? Or just put it together? Jiang's mother asked.

After getting along for so long, she also got to know Liu Ruli's style of doing things.

She was generous and rewarded them, and the tips from the people below were all two taels or five taels of silver.

As long as she is effective and loyal, the princess will be reused, and there is no doubt about employing people.

"Since they're coming together, let's put them together. Stay closer. Let them have someone to talk to. I saw a row of pavilions in the back garden. So he arranged for them to live in a pavilion alone. Liu Mengyan said.

"Yes. That's how the old slave arranged. Jiang's mother said.

After she went out, Feng's mother also came back to the house.

A morning passed.

Bitong saw that Liu Mengyan was a little tired, so she and Qiu Yun brought pastries and tea.

After eating some, Liu Mengyan asked Yunmo and Qianyu to go to the dining room to order food.

At that time, the three concubines in the courtyard had already gathered together to talk.

Yang Manman is the best-looking, so Guo and Li have some meaning to talk to her.

"I don't know if that concubine is so good-looking?" Li was the most timid and said.

"What are you afraid of, we are all the Queen Mother's people. She didn't dare to be embarrassed! Guo's temperament was a little more lively, and he glanced at Li and said.

"The Queen Mother said, let the three of us unite, and we can bring His Royal Highness over. There are three of us, but she can't fight her! Yang Manman said arrogantly, her charming eyes are like a woman who sees her and will be attracted to her.

"Concubine Zheng is very good-looking. The three of us, I'm afraid that Sister Yang can compete with her! Li said.

"You're not bad either. can be selected by the Queen Mother, you also have to play your usefulness! Yang glanced at Li Dao.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman who looked like a mother walked in with two maids.

They saw that the three of them were already sitting in the stone pavilion in the courtyard of the mining courtyard, so they led the people over directly.

"The three concubines, I am Mother Tian, and the concubine has already sent someone to clean up the place where the concubines live. The corresponding maids are already inside. Please let the three concubines go with the slaves! Tian's mother said.

The three of them did not salute, except for a small baggage, which was full of gold and silver.

She followed Mother Tian out of the picking yard, and went to the place that Mother Jiang had allocated for the three of them.

This one is a row of pavilions, each of which has three rooms. All of them are bungalows. When it was originally designed, it was for concubines.

Jiang's mother is also a neat worker, and all the utensils in the house have been cleaned up.

One person and two maids were already waiting in the house.

"Three concubines, this row of houses is the house where the three of them live. Choose a pavilion for each. Concubine Zheng did not specifically specify who lived in which room, only said that the three concubines lived together, and there was someone to talk to on weekdays. Tian's mother said truthfully.

Yang Shi was slightly startled, and said in his heart: Aren't you afraid that we will get together to deal with her? Is this not to take us into account?

The Guo family and the Li family naturally let the Yang family choose first, and she chose the Fuxi Pavilion in the middle.

This row of pavilions does not face north-south, but east-west.

The Yichun Pavilion in the east is close to a bamboo forest, and there are many mosquitoes; There is a western sun in the west of Yalan Pavilion, which can be very hot in summer and very cold in winter.

The Guo family chose Yichun Pavilion, and the remaining Yalan Pavilion was naturally lived by the Li family.

The furnishings in the house are not bad, and someone has been sent to clean it.

After Yang Manman entered, the two girls greeted her and greeted her.

She gave her the names Qing'er and Bi'er.

"Bi'er, how is the concubine?" After Yang Manman rewarded each of the two maids with a gold ring, he called the two of them to ask questions.

"The slave only heard that the concubine was very generous. The servants have received a lot of purses. Bi'er said.

"What about Your Highness? Before His Royal Highness marries the concubine and enters the door, can there be a girl in the room? Yang Manman asked.

Although the Queen Mother had explained to them the character of the six princes, Tuoba Zeyan, etc., she always did not have a more intuitive understanding of these girls in the house.

"Your Highness is very cold to people. The only people who served him were Sanfu Gonggong and Hazy Moon Haoyue, and the others couldn't get close. Qing'er said.

This is basically the same as the message given to her by the Queen Mother.

Yang Manman nodded, and then asked the two of them to carry hot water for themselves. She wanted to take a bath.

"Concubine, it's so cold at this time, you should be careful to wash your illness." Qing'er said, but she thought in her heart that this Concubine Yang Shu was not a good master to serve at first glance.

"I haven't showered in two days. If I don't take a shower, my body will smell rancid. Don't you want me to be favored by Your Highness? Yang Manman glanced at Qing'er and said.

"No, no. The slave maid naturally hopes that the concubine can be favored by His Royal Highness. A drop of sweat slipped down the side of Qing'er's head, and she hurriedly said.

So the two maids had to go and fetch hot water for her first.

Over there, Guo was also talking to the two slaves and maids who had been assigned to her.

One of them is called Xue Qian, and the other is Xue Yun, so she didn't bother to change her name.

"You give me a change of clothes, I'm going to say hello to the concubine!" Guo Shi raised his face and said to the two girls.

Xue Qian and Xue Yun glanced at each other, and hurriedly went to find clothes for her.

Guo Shi changed into a light orange dress, rearranged a snail in front of the bronze mirror, put on a pair of gilded hairpins with butterfly love flowers, and wore a pair of white jade earrings.

"Concubine is so beautiful." Xue Qian flattered the authentic.

Guo Shi pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand towards her, and walked out of Yichun Pavilion.

When she came to the gate of Guilan Courtyard, she saw that the maid who was holding her by the Li family had just arrived, but she came from another way.

A hint of surprise flashed in both of their eyes, obviously they didn't expect the other party to come, and then they looked at each other awkwardly and smiled.

In terms of appearance, the Li family is not as good as the Guo family, but the temperament is also comparable.

"Let's go in first and say hello to the concubine." Li said softly.

When I entered the main hall, I saw Liu Mengyan sitting on the top, with a faint look on her face.

Guo and Li knelt down on the mats that the slaves and maids had taken, and said in unison: "Greetings to the concubine, concubine is blessed." ”

Liu Mengyan sighed, and said in her heart: The kneeling of the concubine is equivalent to declaring that she will be inferior for the rest of her life.

Woman, why do you want to be a concubine!

"Get up and sit down! Bitong, order someone to serve tea to the two concubines! Liu Mengyan said, she didn't mean to embarrass them.

"Concubine, the concubine is good at female workers, and when she first came to the palace, she didn't know how to share it for the concubine. It's better for the concubine to be a concubine and make a set of obscene clothes for His Royal Highness. As a token of appreciation. Guo Shi took the lead in courtesy.

The concubine's offering embroidery such as female red to the main room is customary in the back house.

"Since Concubine Guo Shu is like this, then let's do it." Liu Ruli said.

Not to be outdone, Li took the initiative to say to Liu Mengyan: "The concubine doesn't have any other strengths, but she can play a few ancient songs." If the concubine is bored, the concubine is willing to play for the concubine to relieve the boredom a little. ”

"Good. But I don't have much free time on weekdays, so I can rest and listen to music. Liu Ruli responded.

At this moment, Bitong coughed and glanced at Liu Mengyan.

That's to remind her that His Highness will come over later, so let these two go back.

"Qiu Yun, bring out the reward I gave to the two concubines." Liu Mengyan knew it in her heart.

One person has a pearl head, impartial.

Guo's and Li's are not good to rely on not leaving, and they generally give rewards, which means to leave.

After saying a few words, they went back to their respective countries.

After sending off the two concubines, Bitong said: "The Yang family has the best appearance, and it seems that the eyes are also the highest." I haven't come to greet the princess yet. ”

"It's better that they are all like the Yang family, don't come. I don't have much energy to deal with them. Liu Mengyan said.

"Princess, you were just too kind to them. As a concubine, it is also necessary to learn from the concubine room and let them keep to themselves. Bitong said.

"The person given by the Queen Mother is still polite. Even if I give them another fight, they will naturally fight for what they should fight. It's up to His Highness to decide what His Highness wants. Liu Mengyan said.

"The main hall is for the princess. What the princess wants to do to them, please take care of the princess! Tuoba Zeyan was already standing at the door at some point, leaning against the door frame and saying.

"Your Highness has dinner, let them set the meal!" Liu Mengyan got up, walked to the door, and bowed respectfully.

"Get up, they're bothering you again?" Tuoba Zeyan grabbed Liu Mengyan's hand and frowned slightly.

"Normal, come and say goodbye! However, I'll let Bitong tell them later, there aren't so many rules for concubines, and they can just come over on the fifteenth day of the new year in the future. There is usually no need to greet him. Liu Mengyan said.

"The princess has a good heart." Tuoba Zeyan hugged her and said.

"Your Highness is going to see them today? After all, it was the Queen Mother who rewarded Her Highness! Liu Mengyan raised her head and looked at him.

"The princess wants to be so virtuous?" Tuoba Zeyan reached out and hooked her chin.

"The concubine just said what she had to say, whether to go or not, isn't it in His Highness?" Liu Mengyan pushed the hand path of Ba Zeyan.

Tuoba Yeze looked at her, she was dressed in red today, like a red peony, which made people want to take a few more looks.
