Chapter 23: A Woman's Heart
The scorching summer is unbearable, and the supply of Heyi Palace is not timely.
Dongzhu couldn't help but run to the Internal Affairs Office, wanting to ask for some clothes and bedding for the season.
As soon as the people from the Internal Affairs Office heard that it was from Heyi Palace, they didn't say that they would give a little benefit, so they couldn't help but blast people out.
Dongzhu couldn't please the Internal Affairs Office, so as soon as he came back, he pulled Jade and angrily cursed the eunuch in charge.
At the same time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not idle.
Soon, Chu Sleeve knew about it, and a poisonous plan suddenly came out of her heart.
While ordering the silk to be prepared, she asked, "I heard that the housekeeper has a cousin who lives on the outskirts of the city, and the children of the family have just been infected with smallpox?" ”
The nurse replied, "Yes, poor child, who is only over three years old, has been so sick that he has not been able to get out of bed these days. ”
Chu Sleeve stroked his slightly bulging belly and sneered: "It's really pitiful." ”
As she spoke, she asked the nurse to go to the storeroom to pick up a good brocade and send it over.
The nurse thought it was strange and thought that she had changed her mind after she became pregnant.
Chu Sleeve stopped the nurse, "After the child has used the brocade, seal this brocade and take it back." ”
As she spoke, a sneer rose at the corner of her lips, "Mixed in the things to be sent to Heyi Palace, and, pressed at the bottom." ”
Chu Ning is a princess who is rightfully named, and she can't threaten her to hand over the jade seal in public in broad daylight.
But if Chu Ning loses his power and there is no one around him to take care of him, it will be different at that time.
After Chu Sleeve prepared all this, he ordered several gifts to be sent to the palace.
The Cai family told Dongzhu: "Sister Lao told the third princess that these are all the thoughts of my housewife. ”
After Dongzhu inspected the condition, she couldn't help but smile, "It's rare that Mrs. Caihou and the third princess have a deep sisterhood. ”
Jade happily ran to tell Chu Ning, Chu Ning followed her to the front yard, and Dongzhu immediately greeted her with a smile.
"Third princess, look, it's all good materials, and there are a few beds of embroidered brocade."
As he spoke, Dongzhu pulled out a corner of the brocade that lay under the fabric.
She was proud in her heart, thinking of the fact that the Internal Affairs Office had driven her away, and she only felt that she had finally breathed a bad breath.
Chu Ning looked at the silk and frowned slightly.
Mama Ji happened to come to the front yard with a bucket of water, and when she saw those things, she snorted from her nostrils.
"Huh?" Chu Ning looked at Mama Ji.
She walked towards the well and said to herself, "Pillow when you doze off?" There is nothing so good in the world. ”
Chu Ning also had some doubts in his heart, why did Dongzhu just be rejected in the Internal Affairs Mansion, and Chu Sleeve sent what Heyi Palace needed?
Hearing Mama Ji say this, Chu Ning couldn't help but answer: "If you don't want to take advantage, it's not easy to suffer." ”
Dongzhu said dissatisfiedly: "However, these thin materials are urgently needed in our palace. ”
Chu Ning looked at her and smiled slightly, "Take it all and burn it." ”
Dongzhu and Jade were greatly disappointed by this.
The two of them originally wanted to pull some good materials, quietly make a few new clothes, and when Chu Ning forgot about it, they could secretly wear them a few times.
But Chu Ning gave an order, and even if they were extremely reluctant, the two did not dare to disobey.
Dongzhu set up a brazier in the backyard and threw those silk satin into the fire, Jade gritted her teeth beside her.
"Ouch, I'm almost distressed to death." She hugged the rest of the silk brocade, hissing and snorting in her mouth.
Dongzhu sighed and said, "So what? Let's hurry up and finish the burning. ”
Jade was unwilling, buried her head in the silk pile a few times, and found that there was a bed of exquisite brocade pressed at the bottom.
Silk and satin will be found on the body, but no one will notice the quilt on the bed.
She made up her mind, quickly pulled out the quilt, clutched it on her stomach, and ran into the house.
Dongzhu saw that she seemed to have stolen something, and raised her voice behind her back: "Little hoof! What did you take, and where did you run away like a reincarnation? ”
Jade glared back at her, didn't look at the road ahead, and almost bumped into Mama Ji.
Mama Ji's eyes were sharp, and she caught a glimpse of the bulging in her arms, her face was full of pockmarks and wrinkles, and she screamed: "Stupid thing who is not afraid of death!" ”
Jade didn't care, pushed the old woman away and ran back to the room, spread the brocade bed, poured it upside down and sighed comfortably.
