Chapter 40: Gong Lingrui
Liu Mei got the order and pushed the door from the outside into the new house. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw her lady squatting on the ground with her face covered, and she was shocked.
"Lady, what's wrong with you?"
Saying that, he hurriedly ran over to help her, anxious.
Worried that today is a newlywed, she didn't dare to shout loudly to call people, but her lady never spoke, and Liu Meixin was about to go out to call the doctor.
Yu Wu'er had already eased up for a while, and there was no one else in the room, so she was still shy.
When she heard Liu Mei's voice, she didn't want to speak for the time being. At this moment, sensing what Liu Mei wanted to do, she hurriedly raised her head and stopped Liu Mei from getting up.
"I'm fine, I just feel hot......"
Yu Wu'er was still a little embarrassed in her words.
However, fortunately, Liu Mei was not here just now, and she was talking nonsense in the open.
It's not complete nonsense, she's a little hot right now.
Hearing this, Liu Mei breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said: "Lady, you are scared to death by the slave, as soon as the slave came in, he saw you squatting on the ground, and thought that you were uncomfortable somewhere!" β
"Lady, let's get up first, be careful that your legs are numb after squatting for a long time-" Liu Mei said and was about to help Yu Wu'er get up, but before Yu Wu'er could stand up straight, her legs softened.
Liu Mei hurriedly held on.
"Lady!"
Yu Wu'er was a little embarrassed on her face. "My leg is numb......"
Liu Mei laughed out loud, but still helped her slowly move to the new bed and let her sit there.
"It's okay lady, just rest for a while, and the slave will press it for you again."
Yu Wu'er nodded.
"By the way, lady, do you want to change this outfit?"
Liu Mei asked as she pressed her legs.
Yu Wu'er hesitated. "Is that okay?"
"Naturally, you can, now that your hijab has been picked up by the prince, you can change it. Just now, the prince specially instructed the slave to do this! β
As soon as Yu Wu'er heard that Wen Jinzhi allowed it, she immediately stopped hesitating and said easily: "Okay." β
"Then lady, you sit here for a while, and the slave will call someone to carry the water, and wash it first."
Yu Wu'er nodded.
β¦β¦
A subordinate brought water, and after Liu Mei thanked them, she helped her lady and began to serve the bath and change clothes.
The big red wedding dress is good-looking, but the weight is not light, plus the phoenix crown on the head, it accounts for a lot of weight, and when Liu Mei helps her remove a body of clothes, only the obscene clothes are left, and she feels light and fluttering, which is very comfortable.
Liu Mei reached into the bathtub and tested the water temperature, it was a little hot, although I thought that this was autumn, and now it was almost night, and it didn't hurt that the water temperature was higher, but thinking that her lady said it was hot just now, she paused and asked.
"Lady, this water temperature is slightly hotter than the water you bathed in the house, but you can also wash it, do you want them to bring some cold water now, or ......"
Yu Wu'er pondered for a while and said, "It's okay, it's autumn now, it's better to be hot, it's the first day I just arrived here, so don't toss back and forth." β
"Yes."
When I came out after washing, it was already dark outside. But you can still faintly hear the noisy sound of guests drinking in the front yard.
"Lady, this is the meal sent by the prince just now, you haven't eaten for almost a day, or the prince is considerate of you, and the bride can't eat anything on the day of the wedding!"
Liu Mei stretched out the meals that had just been delivered by a maid and placed them on the table one by one.
When Yu Wu'er heard this, she was not surprised, these rules The eldest sister and the Quanfu people had carefully talked to her.
"Liu Mei, you shouldn't have anything to eat, you can also sit down and eat a little, don't shirk, you can serve me well after you eat."
Yu Wu'er asked Liu Mei to sit down too, today it was the first time for both of them, and they were the same nervous in their hearts, it was estimated that Liu Mei was at a loss than her, as soon as Liu Ying left, the closest person to her now was only Liu Mei......
However, Liu Mei did not dare to respond.
"Lady, this is not good, the ceremony cannot be abolished, the slave is just a subordinate, how can he eat at the same table with the lady. Lady, you don't have to worry about slaves, wait until you eat slaves before using them. β
Originally, Liu Mei didn't want to do anything, but halfway through the words, she still compromised when she saw the insistence on her lady's face.
"Okay, but Liu Mei, you and Liu Ying have been by my side since childhood, and this is not just the difference between master and servant, to be honest, in my heart you are the same as my eldest sister."
Yu Wu'er said sincerely, in fact, she really thought so.
Liu Mei's heart was touched, and his face was also revealed. ββ¦β¦ Lady, can be so valued by the lady, slave death without regrets. β
"Okay, don't talk about these dead words, eat it."
Yu Wu'er got up and sat on the bed, looked at Liu Mei, and suddenly thought of her second sister for some reason.
I don't know how the second sister is doing now, it has been six years since she said goodbye back then, and no news has come from me......
Originally, it should have been the second sister who married the prince of Wenhou, but-
She remembered that when she was ten years old, her mother took her second sister to go to the secluded mountain with her, counting the eight characters of the second sister and the prince of Wenhou.
The second sister has had a marriage contract with the prince of Wenhou since she was a child. She still remembers that the two families were happy that day, the two got married, and the people who welcomed the relatives arrived at the door, but the second sister only left a letter and eloped with someone and disappeared.
The people in Houfu reported to the Hou Ye before the bride went back, and Wen Hou was furious, and the two families almost became mortal enemies.
Later, her father begged the emperor, and the emperor issued a holy decree to let her marry the prince for her second sister, and Wen Hou calmed down her anger a little.
Because she is still young, she has to wait for another five years. For this reason, the emperor gave another concubine to the prince of Wen Hou as compensation.
In this way, it is over.
But later, his father was angry and couldn't afford to get sick, but he died in half a year, and his mother Zhenyeol killed himself in front of his father's coffin. A good home is rapidly decaying.
The third brother originally studied art in Zhongnan Mountain, but when he heard the news, he had to come back to take over the family business, and she also ......
Now, six years in a hurry, it is she who has married him.
Changed.
Yu Wu'er only thought of this one word.
Suddenly, a knock on the door woke her up, and Yu Wu'er looked up to see Liu Mei.
Liu Mei had already eaten the food and was about to put things into the food box, when she heard a knock on the door, and her lady also looked over.
Unable to figure out who else was coming at this time, she came to the door and asked suspiciously.
"Who's out there?"
"Lingyun Courtyard, can my sister open the door, the slave is here to bring some food to Mrs. Shizi."
A rather clear voice sounded outside, and this voice made people feel good.
Liu Mei turned her head to ask Yu Wu'er, only to see her lady nod slightly, and she opened the door.
With just one glance, Liu Mei's complexion changed slightly.
Just now, the person only said that he came to deliver food, but he didn't say a few people, and she didn't care too much about Lingyun Courtyard, but she didn't expect it......
"You're the girl that my sister is waiting for, your appearance is superior, but the rules are a little worse."
A married woman in front of her who was dressed in just the right clothes and makeup said politely.
The face looked gentle and generous, but when he opened his mouth, he was really powerful.
Xu Ye, a little girl standing behind her carrying a food box, saw that she didn't know her, so she introduced: "We are from Lingyun Academy, and my wife was given to the son by the emperor himself." β
This voice is the person who called the door just now.
Liu Mei also remembered, Lingyun Courtyard, the emperor gave it personally, she knew who it was.
"Why, didn't my sister teach you the rules, don't be polite, don't give in......"
"Willow eyebrows." Yu Wu'er heard it clearly inside, not only did Liu Mei guess who it was, but she also guessed it.
"Yes, lady." Hearing her lady's voice, Liu Mei knew what she meant, so she respectfully stepped aside and stretched out her hand to invite them in.
The name of the person who came was Gong Lingrui, and it was the noble concubine who the emperor specially gave to the prince of Wen Hou to compensate in order to calm the anger of Wen Hou six years ago.
"The concubine has seen her sister. My sister is not used to getting married today, although she said it to her concubine. β
Gong Lingrui was down-to-earth and generous, with a gentle smile on her face. Yu Wu'er couldn't laugh at all.
She didn't get up, but said quietly: "I haven't told me about you, I don't know what I mean?" β
"The prince is used to being silent, and it is common sense not to talk about concubines, oh, concubines and sisters have forgotten the right thing. I thought that my sister would be hungry if she hadn't eaten for a day, so I specially sent some snacks to my sister, but ...... It seems that the concubine is doing this too much. β
As she spoke, she looked at the unfinished food box on the table beside her.
"Thank you, the prince has already sent someone to send it, thank you for your trouble. Is there anything else you can do? β
Yu Wu'er didn't want to say more to her, which meant that it was obviously the rhythm of sending off guests.
Gong Lingrui didn't care, smiled, and left.
"In this case, there is nothing else to do with the concubine, and since my sister is fine, the concubine is relieved. The concubine took her leave. β
As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Yu Wu'er and was about to turn around and leave.
When she passed in front of Liu Mei at the door, she seemed to remember something, and turned around and said, "By the way, sister, the person next to you must teach the rules well, otherwise it will be your face that will be lost." Since you have married into the Hou Mansion, this title when you were not married must be changed. β
Yu Wu'er's face remained unchanged, and she only said, "Don't bother you." β
Hearing this, Gong Lingrui nodded to her, but didn't say anything more, and led the little girl behind her to leave generously.
After she left, Liu Mei closed the door, walked a few steps, and knelt in front of Yu Wu'er.
"Lady...... Madame, slaveβ"
Yu Wu'er raised her hand to stop what she was about to say and shook her head slightly.
"It's not your fault, it's that I forgot, this is no longer the Marquis of Changning's mansion......"
As she spoke, Yu Wu'er was a little stunned.
Before, she only knew that there was such a person, but the people around her basically never mentioned it to her, if she hadn't come suddenly today, she would have forgotten it.
Although he told himself again that it was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and this person was given by the emperor himself, it was also because of their Changning Marquis Mansion......
But in the end, I feel uncomfortable.
