Chapter 57: Concubine Yu ridiculed
At the concubine's residence, Xiao Hengzi knelt on the ground and begged her bitterly, "Concubine Yu, you have to give the slave a way out, the slave lost all his errands in order to do things for you." โ
Concubine Yu picked her nails and said hatefully, "Are you embarrassed to come and beg me if you messed up?" โ
A hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Hengzi's eyes, it wasn't that your own information was wrong, but he was flattering, "Look, for the sake of the slave doing things for you, you can't just ignore the slave, right?" โ
"Get out of here, don't bother me, useless stuff." Concubine Yu waved her hand impatiently, the task was not completed, and she came to ask for a reward.
"You can think about it, if the slave is not good, don't think about it, when the time comes, poke it out, do you think about it?" Xiao Hengzi made a threat.
Concubine Yu was unmoved, and was really about to call someone to beat her out, but her personal maid Hongmei stopped her and whispered, "Master, no, you ยทยทยทยทยทยท first"
The two muttered for a while, and Hongmei came out with twenty taels of silver, and said to him, "Take it, if there is too much, you better keep your mouth shut, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat." โ
Xiao Hengzi didn't ink, and said triumphantly, "That's right, wouldn't it be good if you did this earlier, if you have an errand in the future, just send a minion." โ
After speaking, Xiao Hengzi was quietly taken out of the palace by Hongmei from the back door.
Concubine Yu rolled her eyes fiercely after Xiao Hengzi left, who will look for you in the future!
As soon as Xiao Hengzi walked to the corner, the person was knocked down by Hongmei's stick, and naturally someone transported Xiao Hengzi away.
Hongmei picked up the twenty taels of silver and instructed the man in black, "Take it away, and keep your hands and feet clean." โ
What answered Hongmei was a gust of wind, and Hongmei quietly returned.

Following
Chen Xiaoxiao got up early, dressed in white, with six thousand taels of silver in her arms, got on the horse and set off towards Qingfangzhai.
There were Concubine Liu, Concubine Yu, Concubine Wang and Chen Xiaoxiao.
There are a total of four people out of the house, Liu, Wang Fangfei and Concubine Yu have a carriage, Chen Xiaoxiao herself and Bai Zhi have a carriage.
Chen Xiaoxiao was glad in her heart that Concubine Yu refused to ride with her, and she actually didn't want to, so it was better.
There are only a few streets in the palace in Qingfang Zhaili, and the two carriages of the palace are walking one after the other.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Qingfangzhai, and passers-by looked sideways, wanting to see what kind of powerful people came down from such a carriage.
On Concubine Liu's side, there was a subordinate kneeling on the ground, Concubine Liu's slender jade hand stretched out, and the accompanying glass helped her, and she stepped on the back of the subordinate person.
The same is true of the concubines and concubines who follow behind, and some of the people who come and go will stop and take a look.
On Chen Xiaoxiao's side, Bai Zhi took down the bench prepared on the carriage and placed it next to the carriage, and Chen Xiaoxiao stepped on it and got down.
After coming down, she followed Concubine Liuliu and a few people into Qingfangzhai.
This scene was seen by the white-clothed young man next to the window on the second floor of the Chunfeng Building, and the white-clothed young man pointed to them and asked his little servant, "Isn't that the carriage on the Fifth Brother's Mansion?" โ
The young man, about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in white and purple, was much more slender than his peers at a young age, and he was standing at the window, pointing down.
The little servant looked down and replied, "Yes, Your Highness Seven, it must be the ladies of King An's mansion." โ
The young man in white nodded clearly and said, "That's the sisters-in-law, but did you see it just now, the little sister-in-law in the white shirt in the back feels a little kinder." โ
Just from the fact that she didn't step on the back of her subordinates, he had a good impression of her.
The little servant said, "The minions didn't pay attention. โ
The young man in white proposed, "Why don't you go down to this highness?" There are just a few sisters-in-law, and His Royal Highness has not seen them yet. I don't know if the woman in white is from the Wang family or the Yang family. โ
The father gave the fifth brother a few side concubines, he still knew, he had never seen the woman in white, she must be from the two families.
The little servant hurriedly stopped him, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, you still have something to do, why don't you talk about it after meeting His Royal Highness King An?" And there are all women down there, you can't go down. โ
The young man in white regretted, "Okay, this hall will go to the fifth brother first." โ
The two left in a hurry, leaving the military camp where King Ben'an was stationed.
In Qingfangzhai, there is also Mrs. Zhizhou, she saw everyone in the palace come in, and hurriedly came over to salute, Concubine Liu helped her up, and said, "Mrs. Wang doesn't have to be polite, it's better to be simpler outside." โ
How dare Mrs. Wang really do what she said, she laughed with her, "It should be, I listen to you." โ
Concubine Liu introduced to her, "This is Concubine Wang, speaking of which, with the same surname as you, this is Concubine Chen, who has just entered the mansion." โ
Concubine Wang nodded at Mrs. Wang, and Chen Xiaoxiao smiled at her.
Mrs. Wang saluted them, boasting in her mouth, "I have long heard of the name of Concubine Wang, but in the capital, she is one of the best talented women, and she doesn't want to see it today." โ
After speaking, Mrs. Wang's gaze skipped over Chen Xiaoxiao and pulled Concubine Wang to speak.
Chen Xiaoxiao stepped aside and let them speak, her eyes attracted by the decoration inside Qingfangzhai.
The dignified and luxurious screen separates the outside, and on the cabinet inside, some jewelry is in the box, and some are hanging on it, which is dazzling, but not crowded.
Chen Xiaoxiao felt that her eyes were not enough to see, and she stared at them blankly.
She picked up a pair of white jade pendants, which resembled the shape of a crescent moon, and together they were a circle, with a red tassel tied underneath the jade pendant, and a white bead between the tassel and the jade pendant.
Chen Xiaoxiao saw such a jade pendant for the first time, and couldn't help but take a second look.
The shopkeeper of Qing Fangzhai next to him reminded, "This is a pair of jade pendants made of Hetian jade, the name is Xinxiangyin, which means that the new people's hearts will always be together, for a long time, do you like it?" โ
Concubine Yu noticed the situation here, walked over, and glared at the shopkeeper of Qing Fangzhai, "Do you think she looks like she can afford it?" Random introduction! โ
The shopkeeper of Qingfangzhai also saw that Chen Xiaoxiao was watching, so he said such a sentence in passing, but he didn't expect her to say so, so he stopped talking.
Chen Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed by her, so she had to put down the jade pendant in her hand, she actually wanted to ask the shopkeeper, how much is this jade pendant.
Concubine Liu came over and asked gently, "What's wrong?" This concubine heard that there seemed to be an argument on your side. โ
Mrs. Wang naturally came over, she was asked by Concubine Liu, of course, she didn't want to be wrong, so she also came over to see what was going on.
Concubine Yu squinted at Chen Xiaoxiao and said proudly, "It's okay, sister concubine, the concubine is afraid that Concubine Chen will damage other people's jade pendants, after all, she can't afford to pay for it." โ
Concubine Liu scolded her lightly, "Don't talk like this, how can Sister Chen not be able to afford it, don't be like this." โ
Mrs. Wang only began to look at Chen Xiaoxiao at this time, and it had already been rumored in their circle that His Royal Highness King An personally accepted a concubine, and it turned out to be her.
Mrs. Wang didn't think she was good-looking, and she didn't feel much when she saw it at this time, she weighed the interests in her heart.
Concubine Yu was aggrieved, but she refused to stop, and continued, "What the concubine said is the truth, and it is also for her good, if she uses her dirt-digging hands to break the jade pendant, how can it be good, hahaha!" โ
As she spoke, Concubine Yu laughed, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and laughed so much that tears came out.
