Do you think I don't dare? I gripped my dagger and glared at him sharply.

My hands trembled violently, and little by little I pressed towards his chest.

I've dreamed of this scene countless times. I used to hate him until I wanted to kill him day and night......

But as the knife drew closer to him, my hand trembled even more.

It's not that I don't dare, I can't......

I let out a wry laugh and threw the dagger to the ground.

Inevitably, Zhao Rongxian misunderstood something, and I immediately added to him coldly.

"Don't think I dare not kill you! I just can't! I can't afford to risk my family's lives for my own pleasure......"

I sneered at his expressionless face, word by word, "Also, I'm not reluctant to ......"

I want Zhao Rongxian to make one thing clear, the biggest reason why I didn't kill him was because I couldn't give up my family, not because I couldn't give up on him.

Zhao Rongxian sat on the edge of the bed expressionlessly, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slightly and said, "If you don't say it, I know it......"

Oh, I thought Zhao Rongxian would brazenly say that I couldn't give him up, it turned out that he knew everything.

This is Zhao Rongxian, he has never been a foolish person, and he is not unable to distinguish between good and bad. It's just that he's always been good at pretending to be confused.

And I, always thinking that I was very sober, was calculated by him again and again.

So much so that even now, he still can't escape the palm of his hand.

I glanced at him indifferently, and said in a cold tone, "The prince actually knows everything, and the concubine doesn't need to say anything." The concubine is in a very bad mood now, and she doesn't want to see the prince very much, so please go out first. ”

Zhao Rongxian's eyes were stunned, as if he was a little injured, more like he wanted to say something to me. But in the end, he didn't say anything, just gently told me to rest, and then walked out.

I didn't know where he was going, and I didn't bother to ask.

As I lay in bed, I was reminded of those scenes over and over again.

Zhao Rongxian and I have been married for ten years and have had a total of three children. The first one was killed by a bowl of abortion pills in less than a month, and the second, in less than two months, asked Sun Youxin to 'accidentally' hit me into the lake and drown.

Third ...... Not only is the third one gone, but even I am gone.

Thinking about the past, I couldn't help but feel depressed and sad again.

I lay on the bed, not wanting to move, just staring at the ceiling stupidly, tears rolling out unconsciously.

"Princess, don't do this." Jin Yu came in for a long time, and when she saw me being such a resentful woman, she finally couldn't help it, and persuaded me with kind words, "Actually, it's still good for the slave to treat you like the prince, why do you bother." Now that you have a body, you don't dare to cry like this. ”

I don't want to do this, but when I think of the fetus in my womb and all the things in the past, I can't help but resent Zhao Rongxian.

Thinking that Zhao Rongxian was such a silent calculation to me, I felt even more shuddered.

I'm scared, scared. I'm afraid that in the end, I will become like in my previous life, lifeless all day long, and I will despair in my heart except resentment.

No, I can't. Since I have been reborn, I must not allow myself to repeat the mistakes of the past, even for the sake of the fetus in my womb, I must live well.

Since it is useless to escape, it is necessary to calculate......

I took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, then looked up at Jin Yu with a smile and said, "I'm fine." ”

Seeing me crying and laughing, Jin Yu panicked even more, so panicked that he didn't even stammer, "Wang...... Princess, are you alright? ”

"I'm fine, I just can't accept it for a while." I didn't lie to her, I really couldn't accept it for a while.

Jin Yu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and asked tentatively, "Princess, what ...... Is the Jiang family's letter still delivered? ”

"If you don't send it, what else will you send? Can't you send it to my child? I sighed lightly and added, "But ...... The back house of this palace should be well managed. ”

Xu was accustomed to my idle attitude on weekdays, Jin Yu was suddenly stunned, and asked me, "What does the princess mean ......?"

"It means that this princess wants to be a real princess." I sat up straight and said, "The account books of this palace can't fall into the hands of outsiders, and the personnel of each concierge must also be checked clearly, as well as the eight beauties in the Snow Courtyard, I have to find a way to get rid of it." ”

Jin Yu is a smart girl, and she realized my intentions right away.

Seeing that I was finally a little self-motivated, Xu Shi suddenly smiled, "The princess wants to fight for the little prince in her womb?" ”

I don't know if it's a son or a young lady, but it's definitely going to be a fight.

I nodded slightly, and said to her seriously, "Yes, in the past, I always thought that Zhao Rongxian would take a leave of absence, and I also thought that it would be good to be safe if I didn't fight or grab." But now, I have a child in my womb, and I always have to plan for the child. The favor of the emperor's family is often fleeting, once this man changes his mind, he may not even be able to save his own life, let alone a child. In this royal family, if you want to be safe and stable, you must be in power. The stewardship of the royal palace is the first step......"

Yes, no matter how much favor you have, you can't hold the power.

I didn't understand this truth before, and I was just thinking about how to get my husband's favor all day long, and in the end, I don't know if I was favored or not, but it's true that my life is gone.

But the power is different, even if Queen Wen is from a humble background, she can sit firmly in the back seat and ensure the safety of her children. Even though the current Empress Wen is calculated by Zhao Rongxian, at least, her children are safe and stable.

Thinking about it, I instructed Jin Yu again, "Early tomorrow morning, gather all the servants in the palace in one place, and this princess must take care of it. ”

Hearing this, Jin Yu nodded and answered the word 'yes', and then said with a sad face, "It's easy to say that the stewardship in the mansion is not easy to send, those beauties are all given by His Majesty himself, and it is not good to sell them privately, if you give a marriage match casually, in short, no matter what, I am afraid that it will wipe Your Majesty's face." ”

"There's no hurry, let's take the stewardship of the house first." I'm not a smart person, but I'm an acquired hard worker.

Even if I haven't managed this back house in my previous life, I've seen others manage it, and I've seen those dirty and dirty methods. I have seen those slaves who are-for-tat for the sake of fat.

If you want to manage things, you must first get the control of the two silver in the house.

In the evening, I took the initiative to go to the study to find Zhao Rongxian.

When I entered, I saw him looking at the official document in his hand with a gloomy face, thinking that he had encountered something tricky again.

"Lord Wang......" I called out to him, and my tone was lukewarm.

Maybe it's because I'm too hysterical during the day, and when he sees me at this moment, Zhao Rongxian looks very surprised.

But soon he calmed down again and asked me, "Why are you here?" ”

I still couldn't force a smile at him, but some, I calmed down.

I walked to his side unhurriedly, glanced at the fold in his hand slightly, and said, "The prince has time now, and the concubine has something to say to you." ”

"What does the princess want to say?" He put down the fold in his hand and looked at me seriously.

I pulled a chair on the side and sat down, and said straight to the point, "Lord, in the future, if the concubine wants to personally manage the account books of this palace, as well as the silver and two expenditures of the back house, you must see them one by one." ”

"Do you believe me?" Zhao Rongxian reacted immediately, and seemed to be a little injured.

Hehe, if I believe in him wholeheartedly, then I will be hurt.

I nodded, unabashedly, "Yes, the princess, the concubine really doesn't trust the prince." For my own plans, for the sake of the child in my womb, I can't believe the prince. ”

"But now that you are pregnant, how can you afford such fatigue? Shall you be the keeper of the accounts and eat? Zhao Rongxian frowned, sighed and said, "If you really want to take care of it, wait until after production." ”

After production? I can't wait, I can't wait for a moment. I'm afraid that if I don't take care of it, this child won't be born.

Today's Zhao Rongxian is like the sky, even if he has no intention of taking a concubine, but according to the current emperor's favor for him, he may have to point him to a family business.

What the emperor gave was naturally not a woman from an ordinary family. If it weren't for an ordinary woman, it would naturally not be willing to succumb to me, murder the fetus in my womb, and harm me, which is very ordinary.

This kind of thing has happened countless times in my previous life.

I looked at Zhao Rongxian coldly and asked him, "According to the prince's intentions, are you unwilling?" ”

"I'm afraid you'll be too tired......" he explained again.

I smiled, "Lord Wang, don't worry, with Jin Yu and Mother Du helping me, even if I am tired, I can't get tired." ”

"If you want to take care of it, do it. But in this matter, you still have to help Mama Xun in the account room, and you are tired. Zhao Rongxian thought about it and made a regression.

I nodded slightly and said, "Lord Xie, the concubine will retreat first." ”

"Ah Huan, no matter what happened in the past, I hope that now our husband and wife can live in peace and stability." I walked to the door, and Zhao Rongxian suddenly said.

In this situation, I can't even be stable if I don't want to.

I turned my head and glanced at him lightly, "Lord Wang, rest assured, from today onwards, the concubine will be safe and secure, and she will not cause you any more trouble." I will definitely treat you with respect. ”

"Alright, you can go back and rest first." Zhao Rongxian's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment.

I know what he's disappointed about, he's disappointed that I treat him with all respect.

What he wants is a sound of the piano, and all I can give him is respect.

Some cracks are difficult to heal once they are there.

I closed my eyes gently, and early the next morning, I gathered all the servants in the palace together.

Mama Xun, who was the leader, stood at the forefront and said with a smile, "Back to the princess, everyone in the house has arrived." ”

"Okay, let's all report them one by one, and then talk about what you do on weekdays." I sat lazily in my chair, leisurely scanning the people below.

"Back to the princess, the old slave is the account manager of the house, and the accounts in this house must go through the hands of the old slave." Mama Xun was the first to speak, and she looked a little proud.

"Back to the princess, the little one is the concierge."

"Back to the princess, the old slave is the ...... of the comprador house"

After about half an hour, I finally finished listening to their introduction.

If I'm not mistaken, the comprador here has always been in some collusion with Mama Xun, and they have coveted a lot of silver on weekdays, but because the amount is not large, Zhao Rongxian has always turned a blind eye.

None of that's the most important thing, though. The important thing is that the comprador house can receive a lot of benefits from the beauties in the Snow Courtyard, and I do a lot of things for them on weekdays, helping them to inquire about what I ate and what I used......

So the beauties who were given by the eight emperors came to me and envied me with a weird yin and yang atmosphere, making it seem as if I was mean to them, and even more arrogant to the point of begging for the hairpin I just bought.

In the past, I was bent on pushing Zhao Rongxian out, so I didn't take it seriously, I was easy-going and cowardly.

The beauties have the support of the emperor again, and they are inevitably a little arrogant.

There are also a lot of minions in the house, and Mama Yu is the most outstanding.

I looked at the minions with a smile and asked her, "How old is Mama Yu this year?" ”

"Back to the princess, the old slave is fifty years old this year." Mama Yu smiled loyally.

"Well, they're almost the same age as Princess Ben's grandmother." I thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Mama Yu, according to Princess Ben, you won't have to be in the comprador house in the future, it's tiring." From today on, you can go to the backyard and cut some flowers and plants, always be more leisurely. ”

Such a good errand for fishing for oil and water, how could she be willing to lose it.

Sure enough, Mama Yu's face immediately became a little ugly, she was very puzzled, and asked me angrily, "What does the princess mean by this?" The old slave asked himself to do his best to the palace, and never dared to be negligent, what did the old slave do wrong? ”

What did you do wrong? If that's the wrong thing, that's a lot.

The biggest mistake is that I listened to those beauties and sent them news every day. If I remember correctly, this grandmother secretly scolded me for being a lowly merchant.

Of course, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that Liwei has to make an example of the chickens.

Unfortunately, among the scheming minions, that is, Mama Yu has no impact.

I smiled softly and was polite to her first, "Mama Yu, this princess doesn't mean anything, I just want to make you a little more relaxed because you are old." ”

Xu is that I am too cowardly on weekdays, but Mama Yu is very arrogant, hearing me beat around the bush like this, she was immediately annoyed, "The old slave doesn't look like it!" The princess is clearly trying to get rid of the old slave under the guise of tolerance! The old slave was given to the palace by His Majesty himself, even if the old slave really made any mistakes, it should be punished by His Majesty himself, what is the matter with the princess driving people out for no reason? ”

It's been a cowardly for a long time, and any cat or dog dares to ride it on his head. also took out the emperor to talk about things, this Mama Yu can afford to look up to herself.

It's a pity that she forgot that when Zhao Rongxian was crowned king, the emperor didn't care about him at all, and he was in a hurry to drive his obnoxious bastard out of the palace that day.

As for the people who were assigned before, they were only assigned at random, and they had no special intentions.

At that time, she was looking at me with contempt and anger.

If this were in my previous life, I would be a little jealous because of my humble background.

But now I understand that the humble is never the origin, but the means.

I sneered, and the wind was light, "What does Mama Yu mean by this, is she threatening the princess with her father?" Dare to ask, are you the master, or am I the master? ”

Mama Yu didn't expect that I, a stupid princess who usually doesn't care about things, would be so sharp-toothed.

She was a little stunned for a moment when I asked, but she was still unwilling, and said indignantly, "Naturally, the princess is the master, but the old slave is a gift from His Majesty, but a ......."

"Isn't Your Majesty a minion? Your Majesty has given you the opportunity to become a master? I suddenly raised my voice, looked at Mama Yu angrily, and said sharply, "Mama Yu, don't be embarrassed!" How many dirty things have you done, don't you know in your heart? ”

"Dare to ask the princess, what did the old slave do! The old slave is not convinced! The old slave wants to see the prince! ”

Mama Yu was completely panicked, and immediately yelled.

I listened impatiently and immediately asked Du's mother to gag her mouth.

Then asked Du's mother to bring out her crimes such as embezzlement and procurement of silver taels, and privately revealing the private affairs of her master, plus the following crimes, she is an unforgivable crime.

In the end, I was tolerant and generous, and for the sake of her dedication to the palace, I gave her some silver, and sent her away.

When the rest of the people saw this, they couldn't be arrogant one by one.

Mama Xun was even more honest and gave me the account book directly. As a princess with clear rewards and punishments, I naturally can't get rid of her, but let her report to me every day.

As for the others, the gangs were changed at will, and it was made clear to the groom porters that no one was allowed to reveal the whereabouts of their masters.

"This princess is not a mean and vicious person, she must be rewarded for what she does well, and she must be punished for her mistakes." At the end, I added coldly, "Although this princess does not have a strong family background, she is by no means a coward who is casually bullied. What I said today, you must remember it well. ”

"This is done well, it is Mama Xun. If you deliberately make trouble, if you are lighter, it will be Mama Yu, and if it is heavier, that will be the fate of Mama Zheng and Xiang'er! ”

Hearing the names of Zheng's mother and Xiang'er, the handmaidens who had a close relationship with them on weekdays couldn't help but tremble, and their faces turned pale with fright. The rest of the people didn't dare to say a word.

Sure enough, in the next few days, whether it was the porter, the groom or the newly appointed comprador house, they were all extraordinarily peaceful, and none of them dared to reveal Zhao Rongxian's whereabouts to the eight in the snow courtyard, and I didn't dare to say anything about my food and clothing.

The people in the snow courtyard who wanted to cling to it couldn't get any news, so they were anxious.

On this day, I had just had breakfast, and Xin Ruyue, the most glamorous of the eight, came.

Today she wore a red dress, dressed up extremely beautifully, as soon as she entered the door, she looked left and right, as if she wanted to see if Zhao Rongxian was inside, so as to find a reason to get close.

It's a pity that after looking for a long time, I didn't even see a single hair of Zhao Rongxian......

She was quite disappointed, but she still saluted me gracefully, "The slave has seen the princess and the princess ......."

"Princess Niangniang, the hairpin on your head is so beautiful, is that agate?" Before I could call her up, she stood up and looked at the hairpin on my head with bright eyes.

Hehe, isn't this blatantly asking me?

I didn't answer, I just told Du's mother to prepare tea for her.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Xin Ruyue was a little unwilling, so she said again, "Princess Niangniang, your agate hairpin is so beautiful, it is the most suitable with my red pomegranate skirt......"

It seems that I am really too kind in my daily life. Before, she only needed it once, but now she can't do it the first time, so she will open her mouth a second time. If it had been before, I wouldn't have cared.

But now that I have a child, I can't afford to threaten my child.

I picked up the tea, took a sip gently, and in the face of Xin Ruyue's arrogant and unwilling look, I turned my eyes, swept the red pomegranate skirt on her body, and said coldly, "Ruyue, why are you wearing red?" ”

Xin Ruyue was stunned, and the smile on her face froze instantly, "Back to the princess, the slave maid feels that the red color is very good for the slave maid's skin, you see, the slave maid looks good." ”

"It's good-looking, but a concubine wears red, which isn't appropriate." My words were not light or serious, and I was born in a reasonable tone, "Besides, now you are just a dancing girl in the palace, not even a concubine, but you actually wore a red color that only the lady of the main room can wear in front of the master, do you know what kind of crime this is?" ”

This time, Xin Ruyue's face turned white, and her eyes were full of anger, but the next moment, she immediately changed into the hypocritical appearance she used to do on weekdays, and said again and again, "Niangniang, it's the slave and the maid who are ignorant, the slave and the maid don't know, and the slave and the maid will go down and change." ”

With that, she got up in a panic to leave.

His face looked like he was mistaken, but his fists were clenched very tightly.

I know that Xin Ruyue also looks down on me. In the end, she came from the palace, and she always felt that my humble background was not worthy of her current status.

For such people, there are only two words - tidy up.

"Ruyue, ......," I called out to her softly.

Xin Ruyue turned her head and looked at me in a daze, "What do you want from Niangniang?" ”

"I don't have any orders, but as your master, this princess has a few words I want to remind you."

"Mother, please say ......"

"Ruyue, as a slave, you must be clear about your duty, not only dressing up insurmountably, but also being cautious in your words and deeds on weekdays, and asking less about your master."

Xin Ruyue was shocked, her whole face suddenly turned miserable, and she looked at me extremely unwillingly, but in the end she didn't dare to say anything, only answered a few times, and then retreated cautiously.

However, this Xin Ruyue is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she didn't ask for a bargain when she came to me, but was taught a lesson, she was naturally unwilling, maybe because Zhao Rongxian had asked her to dance a few dances, she was more arrogant than others.

In the evening, Zhao Rongxian and I were preparing to eat, but Xin Ruyue broke in crying, and neither Jin Yu nor Du's mother could stop her.

As soon as she entered the door, she knelt on the ground, and the pear blossom shouted to Zhao Rongxian with rain, "Lord, lord, you want to be the master of the slave!" ”
