Chapter 273: Miscalculation
Hearing this, the smile in Chu Yunying's eyes was almost unsuppressed!
Having said so much, what she was waiting for was Mama Zhu's words!
She believed that if Mama Zhu didn't nod her head in her marriage, Zhao Xuanling would definitely not force her.
She tried her best to restrain her emotions and looked at Mama Zhu with a panicked expression. "Mama, what do you mean by this?"
Mama Zhu looked at her and smiled: "You kid, although you don't say anything on weekdays, where can you hide your mind from Mama?" Just from the look in your eyes that you know that you have a heart for the prince. ”
Chu Yunying lowered her head shyly when she heard Mama Zhu say this. "Mama, Ying'er knows her identity, she just feels satisfied to be able to look at the prince from afar in the palace, how dare she think about anything else."
"Princess, the position of the side concubine is indeed a bit difficult, but the concubine can still fight for you, the concubine only asks you if you are willing, will you feel that you have wronged yourself by being a concubine?"
Chu Yunying hurriedly said when she heard this: "How can Ying'er feel wronged, if she can serve by the prince's side, let alone a concubine, even if she is nameless and worthless, Ying'er is willing." ”
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this, everything will be handled by Mama, you can rest assured that although she is just a concubine, as long as Mama is there in this palace, she will never let you be wronged."
"Thank you, Mama, I'm afraid I won't find anyone better than Mama in this world." Chu Yunying directly hugged Mama Zhu and sobbed softly.
Mama Zhu patted her with a soft face, but a gleam flashed in her eyes.
Mama Zhu didn't wait for the next day, and called Steward Qin in the afternoon of the same day.
"Mama Zhu, have you picked someone you are satisfied with? You say which one you have your eye on, and I'll let someone do it. ”
Mama Zhu patted her hand on the albums, and then sighed softly. "Steward Qin, I know that you have also been doing things for the prince for many years."
Steward Qin listened quietly, not knowing how to wait for Mama Zhu to make her meaning.
"You should also know that Ying'er, this child has been with me for many years, and her father was also kind to the prince back then, and these people you sent look quite simple, but I think these people's family affairs have wronged Ying'er, what does Steward Qin think?"
Steward Qin didn't answer this, these people were all looking for Zhao Xuanling according to what he said, so naturally he wouldn't say that Zhao Xuanling was not. "Then what kind of person does Mama Zhu think is more suitable, I'll send someone to find it."
Mama Zhu shook her head. "I have always loved Ying'er as my own child, Steward Qin still doesn't have to worry about this matter, I will personally explain it to the prince."
Since Mama Zhu said so, Steward Qin naturally wouldn't persecute too much.
"That's done, if you need anything, Mama Zhu just tell me."
Mama Zhu nodded.
After speaking, Steward Qin went out of the East Garden.
"How is Steward Qin, which family did Mama Zhu choose for Miss Chu?" The little guy beside Steward Qin gossiped.
Steward Qin's eyes flashed with a touch of sarcasm, and he chuckled: "People who have been in the Manchu and Han banquets for a long time, where are they still willing to eat coarse tea and light rice, we don't have to worry about this, let them go." ”
"Full Han banquet? Bread and water? What does Steward Qin mean by this? The little guy's brain was not bright enough, and he obviously didn't hear the deep meaning of Steward Qin's words.
Steward Qin only smiled and didn't speak again, and went in the direction of Zhao Xuanling's study.
"I didn't expect the prince to be like this here
What a collector's edition of a medical book. ”
In Zhao Xuanling's study, there is a big eight-open screen, behind that screen is full of bookshelves, and the bookshelves are full of all kinds of ancient books, she didn't pay much attention to this side before, but she didn't expect that there would be such a good place.
"If you want to see it, you can see it." Zhao Xuanling sat in front of the desk to deal with the chores that came from the fiefdom.
"The prince suffered a loss in the poison Gu before, and I think it is necessary for me to enhance my understanding of that aspect." Lin Mumu looked around the bookshelf, found a few books about poisonous Gu records, and took them down.
There was a big chaise longue behind the bookshelf, and she sat cross-legged on it and looked through it.
"Lord Wang, Steward Qin asks to see you." Mingyang's voice sounded outside the door.
Zhao Xuanling didn't even raise his head. "Let him in."
"Yes."
The door of the study opened, and Steward Qin bowed down and walked in.
"See the prince."
Zhao Xuanling lifted his eyelids. "What?"
"The prince asked the little one to choose some solid people to send to Dongyuan, and just now Mama Zhu had already replied to the little one."
Zhao Xuanling responded indifferently. "Hmm."
Steward Qin glanced at Zhao Xuanling, and saw that he didn't pay much attention to this matter, so he said: "Mama Zhu said that although those are all honest people, Miss Chu is the daughter of the deputy general in the first place, and now she is tied to the Imperial Palace...... Say...... The status of those people is lower. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xuanling raised his head. "Think your status is low?"
"Yes, Mama Zhu also said that she would explain this matter to the prince, so that the little one would not have to worry about it."
"In that case, then you can step back and leave it alone."
"Yes, the little one."
After Steward Qin withdrew, Lin Mumu walked out from behind the screen with a book.
"Lord Wang, I think in the hearts of Mama Zhu and Miss Chu, except for a wonderful person like you, I am afraid that there is no one who is worthy of her." She took the book and gently lifted Zhao Xuanling's chin, looking like a prodigal.
Zhao Xuanling gently slapped her hand away, and before she could speak, Mingyang's voice sounded again.
"Lord Wang, Mama Zhu asks to see you."
Lin Mumu raised her eyebrows at Zhao Xuanling, and then turned around and returned to behind the screen.
Zhao Xuanling put down the official business in his hand. "Let her in."
"Yes."
The study door opened again, and Mama Zhu walked in alone.
"The old slave greets the prince." In front of Zhao Xuanling, Mama Zhu still did a very thorough job.
"Mama doesn't have to be polite, sit down."
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
Mama Zhu got up but didn't sit down immediately, but put the food box in her hand in front of Zhao Xuanling.
"Yesterday, I heard that the prince was unwell, and the old slave was very worried, and today I asked people to boil soup for the prince, and it was only boiled at this time, and the old slave didn't dare to delay for a moment and sent it to the prince."
Zhao Xuanling glanced at the food box and nodded. "Mama has a heart."
Mama Zhu looked at Zhao Xuanling and smiled lovingly. "The old slave has served the prince since he was a child, to put it disrespectfully, if the old slave has children, it is not comparable to the status of the prince in the eyes of the old slave, as long as the prince is good, what are these little things that the old slave does."
For Mama Zhu's sensational words, Zhao Xuanling's expression did not change much, but Mama Zhu was also used to it, she knew that Zhao Xuanling was not a person who easily exposed her emotions, but he felt that people who should be good would take action
implemented, she has had a good life in the Royal Palace over the years.
Put the soup in front of Zhao Xuanling, and Mama Zhu went to the chair and sat down.
"To say that the prince is not young, but now there is no one around him who knows cold and heat, and the old slave really doesn't feel good when he sees it."
Zhao Xuanling picked up the teacup on the table and took a shallow sip without answering.
Zhao Xuanling didn't answer, Zhu Mama was not in a hurry, she only said to herself: "Ying'er, that child has been by my side for several years, she is docile and pure, and the most important thing is that she has always had a sincere heart for the prince. ”
Zhao Xuanling put down the teacup and raised his eyes lightly to look at Mama Zhu.
"What does Mama want to say?"
Mama Zhu raised her eyes to Zhao Xuanling's cold and indifferent eyes, for some reason, the words that came to her mouth were choked suddenly, and she paused for a while before continuing: "The old slave thinks Ying'er is good, if the prince is willing to accept her as a concubine, it is not unnecessary, then the child ......"
"That's what she meant?" Without waiting for Mama Zhu to finish speaking, Zhao Xuanling interrupted.
"Huh? Ying'er, Ying'er is naturally willing to serve the prince, as long as the prince is willing. ”
"What if the king doesn't want to?"
Mama Zhu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Zhao Xuanling to refuse so directly.
"Lord Wang, Ying'er is a good child, she will definitely serve the prince well."
"This king heard that Steward Qin said that Mama doesn't look down on those people who were sent?"
"Lord Wang, Ying'er was the daughter of a five-grade military general in the end, how could she casually marry her to those flat-headed people's families, this, if Deputy General Chu who went down to the ground knew about this, I am afraid that he would not be happy."
As soon as Mama Zhu finished speaking, she felt that the temperature around her had cooled down.
"What kind of person is worthy of her, the daughter of a five-rank general?" The impatience in Zhao Xuanling's words was fully revealed, but Mama Zhu didn't notice that she wanted to push Chu Yunying to Zhao Xuanling.
"The old slave thinks that the prince is the best destination for Ying'er."
"This king?"
Zhao Xuanling coldly hooked the corners of her lips, Mama Zhu felt that something was wrong at this moment, and wanted to say something to remedy it, but looking at Zhao Xuanling's cold expression, her mind instantly became blank.
"If Mama is Miss Zhang or Miss Li in Beppu, will this king be included in the mansion?"
"No, it's not the prince, the old slave doesn't mean this, he just thinks that Ying'er, this child, has been in the palace for many years and is loyal to the prince."
"Enough! This king gives her three days, if she is willing to marry, you will go to find the Qin housekeeper to choose a family in the person sent before, if not, three days later this king will let people send her to the ancestral home of the Chu family, you can rest assured, if Mama can't leave her, this king will also send Mama to avoid you being lonely on the road. ”
Mama Zhu's heart jumped, and her body became stiff unconsciously.
Zhao Xuanling has not said anything soft to her for many years, but she is very concerned about her, which she can feel, and it is the first time she has encountered such an attitude today.
Although Mama Zhu was scared in her heart, there was even more anger in her chest, she was his nurse, how could he say it so ugly! "Lord Wang, the old slave is also for your own good, you must not be blinded by those indiscriminate people outside!"
"Bang!"
"Presumptuous, get out!"
