The crown princess was almost fainted by her, Qi Chenghui deliberately said this to the prince, knowing that the prince was resting in Zhaoyang Hall today, he deliberately made this show to block himself.

But apart from this sentence, Qi Chengzheng stood with his head bowed and behaved, and did not make the slightest move to attract the attention of the prince, and did enough to be a concubine who abides by his duty. If the crown princess didn't know about what she had done, she would have to wonder if her anger was due to jealousy.

Qi Chenghui used to be the most trusted big girl around her, more favored than Mama Su, Mama Yu, and Mama Zhang, and even more worried than her nursing mother, Mama Shan.

Qi Chenghui's life was saved by the crown princess. She beat her little father and died of illness, and her mother left her to marry another country, and lived with the uncle's family, although she was a niece, she was not even as good as a maidservant, and she couldn't eat or dress well after doing all the housework, and she was beaten and scolded from time to time.

Qi Chenghui followed her uncle to a crowded place, and she was about to die on the street, and the carriage she touched happened to be the princess's, so she was naturally saved, because she begged again and again, and the princess spent ten taels more than Qinglou to buy her from her uncle.

Qi Chenghui, who signed the deed of sale, was grateful to the crown princess and vowed to repay him by being a cow and a horse.

Since then, she has become the maid of the crown princess, with her well-behaved and clever, steady and calm, she was soon promoted to a personal maid, and when the princess got married, she and Su Mama married together to the prince's mansion.

Compared with the restless maids who wanted to get up and say a few words when they saw the prince, the few big girls around the princess had never had that kind of thing, and Qi Chenghui, who had the best posture, was even more reserved and polite back then, and never did anything to do in front of the prince, even if the princess was in front of her, she would avoid suspicion and let others do it.

Even the crown prince praised her two or three times in front of the crown princess, saying that she was blushing and shy, but she was more calm than others.

is such a loyal maid, but when the crown princess was pregnant with Zhu Zhanji, she climbed into the prince's bed.

Asked her, naturally the prince was drunk, she was handing tea and water to the front, but she couldn't resist the meaning of the master, and at that time she was going to touch the wall and hang Mingzhi, crying like a pear blossom with rain, leaving herself clean. If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince said that the crown princess gave her dowry maid to herself when she was pregnant, how virtuous she was, the crown princess would have simply believed her words.

Looking back at the time, she was able to behave well-behaved, so that her uncle relaxed her vigilance against her, and when she got to the street, she resolutely hit her carriage, thinking that from the outside of the carriage, she knew that the people sitting inside were either rich or expensive, and begged herself to buy her, and then did things and behaved like a man, and she was satisfied everywhere, not only for the master, but also for the people.

Therefore, her climb to the prince's bed can go so smoothly and succeed in one fell swoop.

Such scheming, forbearance, cunning and even determination are all hidden under Chu Chu's pitiful and weak appearance, and it is no wonder that among the many concubines of the crown prince, she has always been able to have a place.

How could such a Qi Chenghui honestly stay with the five county lords? Her concession and deference are basic skills to survive and prepare for a better existence. The crown princess didn't blame her for planning so much for living a better life, but she couldn't forgive her for betraying her lord, so although she didn't be cruel to her, she was disgusted and unhappy when she saw her.

The crown princess saw that she was so blatantly provocative today, and she relied on the prince to be here, and she was not good at sending her down, as if she had eaten a bear's heart and leopard gall, and she was angry in her heart, but she made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva in her early years, and she would never intentionally kill, and she was not good at asking for her life for these personal grievances.

is deliberately to Qi Chenghui to wear small shoes, the crown princess disdains it, of course, the people at the bottom are used to seeing the wind and the rudder, knowing that she doesn't like Qi Chenghui, and she also turns a blind eye to things such as eating and wearing, but the lord of the five counties is a golden branch and jade leaf, and the princess can't bear it in her heart.

Although the crown princess was angry in her heart, her face was not at all, "Qi Chenghui, the lord of the five counties is not only a serious master, but also the daughter of the prince, how can he not meet his own father?" Do you want outsiders to look at you and say that the prince is not close to his children, and he does not educate or raise him? โ€

Qi Chenghui lowered his head and said: "The prince has been resting in Guo Liangdi and Zhang Liangyuan's courtyard recently, and the concubine has not seen him for more than a month, and the five county lords really miss him, so they brought him over today." The crown princess, you are kind, let her see it. โ€

In a word, he led the fire to Guo Liangdi and them.

Of course, the crown princess would not fall for her, and she had the intention to embarrass her, but when she saw the lord of the five counties looking at her with her eyes, her heart softened. Even if you want to send Qi Chenghui, you can't do it in front of the five county lords, after all, the five county lords call their mothers.

Looking at the thin old clothes of the five county lords, and her lips were already a little black, the crown princess frowned, "Why do you dress her like this?" No wonder I get sick, why don't I change into thicker clothes. โ€

Qi Chenghui raised his head and said aggrievedly: "The master has not come for a long time, and the subordinates have also been lazy, and they have asked the winter clothes of the five county lords twice, and they all said that they have not been cut, and the previous ones are short, so they can only wear them." โ€

Angry, the crown princess instructed Jue Gui to bring two pieces of the big county lord's childhood clothes, and asked Mama Shan to write down this matter, prepare more winter clothes for the five county lords, and send out those slaves who are not long-eyed.

The little man of the five county lords is very good at looking at people's eyes, and hurriedly hugged the crown princess's leg and said, "Mother, fortunately there are you, otherwise my daughter would have frozen to death." Thank you, mother, let me meet my father, my daughter misses him so much. โ€

The crown princess sighed, "In that case, you can go in." โ€

Qi Chenghui and the five county lords whispered a few words, let her enter the hall, she only saluted to the hall at the door, bowed to the princess and said: "The concubine knows that it is unceremonious to bring the five county lords over today, thank you princess, you don't care about the concubine, the concubine will go back to the courtyard and kneel for two hours, and tell you the guilt." โ€

Mama Shan was angry, and sneered: "Qi Chenghui is so calculating, go back to your courtyard and kneel, kneel or not, who knows how long you will kneel." โ€

Qi Chenghui said: "If the concubine is kneeling here and is seen by the prince, it is inevitable that she will say that the princess is not, and it is not the concubine's sin." The crown princess can rest assured, since the concubine said that she would kneel for two hours, she will not be less at all. โ€

After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to the crown princess three times before retreating with the maid.

After leaving the courtyard gate of Zhaoyang Palace, the maid who followed Qi Chenghui couldn't help but say, "Chenghui, why did you rush to Zhaoyang Hall at this hour just now?" You obviously know that the crown princess doesn't like you, so wouldn't she be even more angry with you when she comes out like this? Even if the lord of the five counties wants to see His Royal Highness the Prince, you can also avoid it, and you must eat such a row, and you should go back and kneel for two hours. โ€

Qi Chenghui said firmly: "The crown princess will not let me kneel in the courtyard." โ€

As soon as her words fell, she heard Su Xin, the maid of Zhaoyang Palace, running over and saying: "Qi Chenghui, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess said that although you are at fault today, you can still know your mistake, let you kneel in the house for two hours, don't kneel in the courtyard, so as not to fall ill, she is uneasy." โ€

When Qi Chenghui heard this, he stopped, turned around and thanked him in the direction of Zhaoyang Palace.

After Su Xin left, the maid looked at Qi Chenghui in surprise, "How do you know that the crown princess will send someone?" โ€

A gentle smile bloomed on Qi Chenghui's soft face, and he said softly: "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is the most merciful, how could she ruin her reputation because of my little concubine?" In the past, I always hid, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess never had a chance to fall, and I was depressed in my heart, but now I sent it to the door, and she was embarrassed to embarrass me. Seeing that these five county lords are older, if they want to learn the six arts and learn poetry and books, if the crown princess has been dissatisfied with me and takes this resentment out of her, how can it be good? If I do this, she will not be biased towards the Lord of the Five Counties, my daughter is a golden branch and jade leaf, how can she be like her mother, let others arrange it! โ€

Only then did the maid understand that Qi Chenghui was because the prince had not come over these days, and the supply in the courtyard had been sluggish a lot, not to mention, no one even cared about the enlightenment of the five county lords, Qi Chenghui wanted to hide in the courtyard again, and the princess not only turned a blind eye to her but also the five county lords, which was really bad.

In contrast, it is nothing to let the princess scold and scold, rather than waiting for the princess to settle accounts after the autumn and treat the five county lords coldly, it is better for Qi Chenghui to take the initiative to send it to the door to let the princess get angry, so that the princess, who has always been benevolent, will naturally be concerned about the five county lords, not to mention how good it is, at least reasonable requests will be agreed, just like just now, arrange the winter clothes of the five county lords and agree that she will go in to see the prince, after this, the food and clothing of the five county lords will not be worse than the other county lords.

Thinking that Qi Chenghui deliberately did not let the five county lords wear that new set of clothes, and only came over in old homely clothes, the maid secretly sighed, and then looked at Qi Chenghui, who had a gentle face and full of confidence in his eyes, and couldn't help but be more respectful.

Showing weakness to the enemy, Qi Chenghui has used this trick perfectly, she can live with her life, enter the door of the Zhang family, become the personal maid of the crown princess, and become one of the prince's concubines by a companion maid, that is, she knows when to come out and when to withdraw her hand.

As for whether the prince will think of her after meeting the lord of the five counties, and whether he will enter her courtyard again, Qi Chenghui knows that the answer is yes, she has patience, and the prince likes her soft temperament the most, saying that at this point, even Guo Liangdi is not as good as Guo Liangdi.

As long as the prince arrives in her courtyard, she will have the opportunity to conceive another child, for this woman in the deep palace, it is never a man who can rely on in the end, but a child. It is precisely for this reason that when the opportunity appeared, Qi Chenghui did not hesitate to choose to betray the master, but it is a pity that she has only one daughter who has been working hard for so many years.
