Chapter 41: The eldest daughter of the Shangshu family
Lianxiang retreated when she heard her words and deeds, and she had a little more affection for the smile of the new lady in her heart.
Today, several big girls in the courtyard are still discussing in private, saying that when the new lady comes, she must rely on her pregnancy, relying on the favor of the prince, and it is difficult to serve no one in her eyes, but now it seems that on the contrary, the new lady has a warm smile and a gentle voice, and she is a good-natured person at first glance.
Lian Xiang thought in her heart, if she could show her face more in front of the new lady, would she be able to take herself away when the lady left the courtyard?
After all, although this courtyard is a little more leisurely, but there is no chance to reward money and climb up, and there are younger brothers and sisters at home to support, what's the matter, you can't always be a little girl in this courtyard! Only when you get to the palace can you have the opportunity to increase your salary and have more opportunities.
After thinking about it, Lianxiang felt that the new lady in front of her might be a good opportunity for her to leave the other courtyard...... You have to catch it!
Lan Fang sat in front of the window for a long time, and was about to get up to sleep, when the child in her belly suddenly moved, as if she was stretching her waist, she touched her stomach and smiled lightly, and whispered: "Child, I don't sleep so late, do you miss your father......
Li Ye ...... I don't know how he will arrange their mother and son after the child is born...... Will you always live in this courtyard?
Early the next morning, Li Ye packed up, took Jin Fu and Jin Gui, and rode all the way to the army.
This time it is half a moon.
Lan Fang stayed in the courtyard for half a month, and every day, except for eating, sleeping, going out to enjoy flowers and feed fish, and occasionally doing needlework, there was almost nothing left.
The girl in the courtyard, after figuring out the new lady's weak nature, acted a little boldly. Except for Lianxiang, who was looking at Lan Fang with all his heart, the rest of the maids saw that the prince had not come over for half a month recently, so they naturally slacked off a little in terms of service.
On this day, Lan Fang was sleepy in the afternoon, lying on the soft couch and falling asleep, half-asleep, she seemed to hear the sound of talking under the wall outside, she woke up leisurely, and involuntarily pricked up her ears to listen.
It turned out to be another maid Xiaotong who was waiting in front of Lianxiang like Lianxiang, discussing herself with the little girl who was sweeping in the outer courtyard.
"The new lady didn't know where it came from, but she heard that the kitchen had made a lion's head yesterday, and she asked what kind of dish it was...... laughed to death, she hadn't even eaten a lion's head, and I don't know how she climbed into the bed of the prince, and she was lucky enough to get pregnant......"
"Oh, look at her like that, it is estimated that she is also a woman from a small family, that day the prince invited the splendid workshop to make clothes for her, you didn't see it, she didn't even choose the new flowers nowadays, and in the end it was the prince who helped her choose, I really don't know where she is good, and she was actually taken by the prince ......"
"What else can be a good place, maybe people are not good anywhere, but the kung fu of serving people in bed is good, so I can get the favor of the prince of the world, and I have a child......"
"That's right, this new lady has no knowledge, no literary talent, and her appearance is not outstanding, maybe, it is really from the Goolan Courtyard, and she deceived the prince with that trick and got a child. Otherwise, if she is pregnant, why don't you just take her back to the palace, and put her in this courtyard, it's been half a month, and I don't even come to see it......"
"That's what you said, if it weren't for the kind of dirty body that can't see the light and can't get on the stage, he would have entered the palace to enjoy happiness at this moment!"
"Oh, forget it, don't talk about it, hurry up and work, I will be seen by Lianxiang's cheap hooves, and I will have to count them all ......"
"What is Lianxiang's slut, she bows her head to the new lady like a dog all day long, and she really thinks that she can follow the ignorant into the palace, isn't it daydreaming!"
What was said later, the person walked away, and Lan Fang couldn't hear it clearly...... She didn't want to hear it anymore either......
Tears had wet the pillow at some point, and she closed her eyes tightly and bit her lip to prevent herself from crying, disturbing the maid outside, lest it spread and be mocked again.
Dirty body...... Hehe, although she is not the kind of woman who came out of Goulan Courtyard, after all, she has been married. For the royal mansion with great rules, standing by Li Ye's side with his own identity is a kind of defilement, not to mention ...... I still conceive a child in that way......
No wonder...... No wonder Li Ye put himself in this courtyard, he has never been here for half a month, it turns out that it is only for the sake of the face of the child in his belly that he is kind to himself......
Lan Fang kept shedding tears, hating his wishful thinking, thinking that he took him to leave the Chen family, arranged a big house for himself, and in the future, he also chose tricks for himself and sent night pearls, which meant a little bit of self, but today I realized how ridiculous he was......
A woman who has been married, which man can accept it without any worries......
Everything he did to himself, everything, was just because of this child in his belly......
Lan Fang slowly wiped her tears, touched her stomach, and said softly with red eyes: "Xu Lanfang, stop being delusional, you don't have that ...... life"
Lian Xiang came in slowly, thinking to see if Madame had woken up, so as to pour her a cup of hot tea, who knew that as soon as she came in, she saw her crooked on the couch wiping her tears, she hurriedly ran over, and asked nervously: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" But if you feel uncomfortable, tell the slave and maid quickly, and the slave and maid will ask for a doctor for you! ”
Seeing Lianxiang's panicked appearance, Lan Fang quickly got up and said, "I'm fine, it's just ...... Some ...... "She is not a person who can lie, but she can't tell Lianxiang what she hears, and for a while, she can only keep her head down and say nothing."
Lian Xiang saw that she didn't look like she was uncomfortable, and she breathed a sigh of relief, so she thought about it, and felt that it was estimated that the girls had chewed their tongues in private in the past few days and were heard by Mrs., so she felt uncomfortable, after all, the prince had not come here for half a month, who knows if Mrs. had fallen out of favor......
There are some things in this courtyard that look down on people, and it is inevitable that the lady will be looked down upon when she first arrives.
Lian Xiang thought for a while, sighed, and said, "Madam, if you have any grievances in your heart, you can tell the slave maid, the slave maid can help you, and she will do her best to help you." ”
Lan Fang shook her head, this is nothing, now eat well, sleep well, don't worry about someone touching yourself and your children at any time, it's better than when you were in the Chen family, I don't know how much back, it's just two gossips, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen to it, they love to say, let them go and talk, and they can't miss a piece of meat.
"I'm fine, Lianxiang, you don't have to worry."
Lianxiang sighed and slowly retreated, Madame's temperament was too weak......
After a few more days, the weather gradually entered late autumn and became cooler.
Li Ye never came, and it seemed that he had disappeared......
The attitude of the maids is getting worse and worse, except for Lianxiang, Lan Fang can hardly call other maids, and sometimes, some small things are done by themselves. Especially Xiaotong, she also throws a face when she comes in on weekdays, for fear that others won't know that she is in a bad mood.
The six-month-old belly is high on her waist, and the child is moving more and more, and in the dull and boring days, only the child in the belly can make her feel better.
On this day, Lan Fang was walking around the yard, looking at the decaying flowers and branches in the garden, not knowing what to think about anymore, and had been in a daze.
Suddenly, there were voices talking in front of him, it seemed that something had happened, Lan Fang couldn't help but raise his steps and go to the front yard, and before he could reach the front, he heard a few people talking not far away.
"I heard that early this morning, the emperor decreed that our prince was married......"
"But no, it is said that she is the eldest daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family, the third ranked Wang Yuyan in the capital, it is said that she has both fame and beauty, whether it is writing poems and paintings, or vocal music and dancing, she is the top among the ladies of the capital!"
"That's the eldest daughter of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, a lady who has been loved and loved by thousands of people since she was a child, whether it is knowledge or upbringing, naturally some people can't beat the horse!"
"Haha, don't talk about patting horses, even if she is pregnant, she is not abandoned in this courtyard, how can Miss Wang's talent and family background be compared to her as a person with an unjustified name? You are not afraid of lowering the identity of Miss Wang when you talk like this? ”
"Oh, Xiaotong, you have some virtue, Xu is too busy recently, I don't have time to come, go, hurry up and work, don't mutter here anymore, I will be seen by the housekeeper and scolded again......"
"No matter how busy the prince is, there is always a way to carry a letter and pass on a message, but now it seems that he has forgotten her...... When the princess enters the door, she will be in harmony with the princess, and it is estimated that the princess will drive her out of this courtyard sooner or later......" Xiaotong said, pulling down the branches and leaves at hand and smashing them fiercely, she was very unconvinced, the new lady didn't look good, but she entered the eyes of the prince, it was really annoying!
Now that the will of the prince to marry has also come down, it is estimated that he will not take this unrighteous lady to heart, or ......
Xiao Tong smiled sinisterly, lifted his chin and toed to the kitchen.
Lan Fang's hand holding the door frame was clasped tightly, and her nails were broken two or three because she was too hard, but she didn't know that it hurt at all...... I don't know if the tears are flowing all over my face at the right time, dripping on the gorgeous peach blossoms in front of me......
Lian Xiang slowly walked behind her, gently held her arm, and persuaded: "Madam, don't listen to these subordinates chewing the root of their tongues, the prince will not forget you, I have recently gone to the army, so I can't spare time to come back to see you, don't be too sad, be careful of the child......"
