Chapter 14: Deception
Du Qinxin originally wanted to arrange for Mama Qin to live in Qingfeng Courtyard, which was not far from the Broken Heart Courtyard, which was quiet and elegant. Who would have thought that Mama Qin would not want to live in the room under the Broken Heart Courtyard, Du Qin thought to himself that Zhao Qirui's entrustment when he was leaving, it was very difficult to do.
"Princess Niangniang, how can there be slaves and maids living in a courtyard, there is no such rule." Seeing Du Qin's embarrassment, Mama Qin said, "Don't worry, if the prince is to blame, the old slave will explain it to him." ”
Du Qinxin always felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't be stubborn, and finally cleaned up the west wing of the Broken Heart Courtyard for Mama Qin to live in. This is the end of the matter.
After noon, Du Qinxin lay down on the soft collapse and took a nap. Thinking of today's-for-tat confrontation between the queen of Changchun Palace and Mama Qin, it must have been a long-standing grudge. The queen's attitude towards herself was the same as before, and Du Qinxin felt as if she had been stirred into a black hole that did not know the depths.
At dinner, Du Qinxin asked the kitchen to cook more meals.
"Mama Qin, come and dine with me!" Du Qinxin called Hou to the side, and Mama Qin came over. Although Mama Qin is the person next to Zhao Qirui's mother, she is not as indifferent and embankment as Zhao Qirui at all. Du Qinxin likes Mama Qin very much.
"Princess Niangniang, how can the slave and maid eat with the mother, the mother cherishes the old slave, and the old slave knows! But there are still rules that should be in place! Mama Qin said respectfully.
"Mama Qin, there are no others in this courtyard, it's okay!" Du Qinxin really didn't regard Mama Qin as a subordinate.
"Princess Niangniang, the old slave knows your intentions, but the old slave can't take others badly, and it will be spread out in the future to make people laugh at the people of our Rui Wangfu who don't understand the rules!" Mama Qin said that she would not eat with Du Qinxin.
Du Qinxin looked at the table of sumptuous meals, smiled helplessly, and could only use some alone to let people take it down.
Later, Mama Qin came over.
"Has the princess slept?"
Du Qinxin, who had just finished washing up after unloading the pearl hairpin, asked Su Qing to invite Mama Qin in. "Is there anything wrong with Mama coming over so late?" Du Qin wondered if he had something wrong with it.
Mama Qin glanced at the two girls beside Du Qinxin, and Du Qin's heart was clear. "You go out first, I'll talk to Mama!"
When Su Qing and Su Ling went out, Du Qinxin asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Mama Qin looked at the woman with black hair hanging down her waist, even if she didn't apply powder, she was so beautiful, and said, "Niangniang, if the slave maid says it, don't be angry. ”
"Mama has something to say!" Du Qinxin's bright big eyes blinked twice.
"Niangniang, haven't you had a round room with the prince so far?"
Du Qinxin heard that Mama was talking about this! The little face was instantly covered with red glow.
"Mama..."Although she is married to a woman, she is still flushed and embarrassed when she hears this kind of thing at first glance.
Seeing Du Qinxin's reaction, he thought he guessed correctly.
"Hey! It's been almost ten days since they got married! This prince is too unreasonable! "The newlywed Yan'er actually slept in separate rooms all day, and Mama was angry with Zhao Qirui.
Du Qinxin smiled a little bitterly, in fact, she thought it was very good, so she didn't want to sleep with Zhao Qirui. But looking at Mama Qin's anxious appearance, she can't say what she really thinks.
Seeing that Du Qinxin looked uncomfortable, Mama Qin thought that she was sad and embarrassed when she talked about it, so she retreated after a few words of comfort. As he walked out, he said, "When will I be able to add a little prince in this way......"
Du Qin's heart was messy for a while before going to the bed to rest.
When I woke up early the next morning, just about to have breakfast, Su Qing ran in in a panic and said that the prince was coming!
Du Qin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up to greet him.
Zhao Qirui seems to have just left the court, and the court clothes have not been changed. "Mama Qin didn't rest well last night?" Zhao Qirui once again ignored Du Qinxin on the side, helped Mama Qin up and asked.
"Back to the prince, it may be a change of place, not very adaptable!" Mama Qin didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Qirui, for fear that he would see the clues.
"The prince hasn't had breakfast yet! The princess hasn't yet, so it's better to eat some together! Mama Qin hurriedly diverted the topic.
As soon as Mama Qin mentioned Du Qinxin, Zhao Qirui turned his eyes and glanced at Du Qinxin who was standing aside. With scrutiny in her eyes, "This is how the princess takes care of Mama for this king?" ”
"The princess is wrong to blame the princess! Yesterday, the princess arranged for the old slave to live in Qingfeng Courtyard, and the old slave felt lonely and lonely, so he insisted on staying by the princess's side. But it's just that it's not good to rest at night when you're old, so don't worry! Seeing that Zhao Qirui wanted to blame Du Qinxin, Mama Qin hurriedly explained.
Du Qinxin understood that Mama Qin didn't rest well last night, and Zhao Qirui knew about it, and she came to blame herself early in the morning!
"It's the concubine's negligence!" Whether it's wrong or not, you have to admit it!
"Lord Wang, if you blame the princess for being so indiscriminate, it will be the sin of the old slave! The old slave should go back to the palace to serve the emperor! Mama Qin said half-truthfully.
Zhao Qirui heard that Mama was leaving, "The princess should pay more attention in the future!" ”
Du Qinxin hurriedly responded, but he was speechless in his heart.
"This king is really hungry!" Zhao Qirui also complied with Mama's wishes and stayed for dinner.
Mama Qin asked her to pass the breakfast, and Du Qinxin looked at the plates and bowls in front of her, and couldn't help frowning! This crystal shrimp dumpling, steamed rich chicken, wonton wings... These are not my usual favorite meals. Du Qin has a bad spleen and stomach, and he can't eat these greasy ones in the morning, and he used to be porridge and side dishes, accompanied by a few plates of pastries.
Looking at Su Qing with a puzzled expression, Su Qing shook her head.
"Lord and princess, please eat, it's not delicious when it's cold!" Mama Qin laid out the dishes and chopsticks for them.
Zhao Qirui glanced at Mama Qin meaninglessly, picked up chopsticks and put a shrimp dumpling in his mouth. The two were relatively speechless and had breakfast, and Zhao Qirui got up to leave.
"If the prince is free, come and talk to the old slave!" Mama Qin sent Zhao Qirui to the gate of the Broken Heart Courtyard.
"Good! This king will come when he is free! Zhao Qirui did not refuse, and responded in one bite.
On the way back, Zhao Qirui asked Su Li: "Where did you meet Mama Qin last night?" ”
"Back to the prince, just outside our yard, Mama said that she couldn't sleep and came out for a walk! The subordinates saw that it was getting late and wanted to keep her in our yard for a night, but Mama refused, saying that she would go back for fear of disturbing your rest! "Su Li told me about last night's events again.
"Huh! I think this Mama Qin is getting older and more nosy! Zhao Qirui shook his head helplessly. I don't know where this Du Qinxin is worth your time to ask the king to come here.
"Mama, you didn't have a good rest last night, but that room is not comfortable? Why don't I give it to you..."Sending Zhao Qirui away, Du Qin asked Mama Qin with some guilt.
"Princess, the slave sleeps well! You don't have to worry. Mama Qin said with a smile on her face.
Du Qin saw his grandmother like this, and then remembered that most of the breakfast was eaten by Zhao Qirui.
"Mama, you wouldn't mean to do this, would you?" Du Qinxin asked with an incredulous face?
