Chapter 111: All Have Pasts
At the beginning, the four of them were not very familiar with the acupoints and the power of massage, so they focused on massage, and after an hour, the four of them began to chat.
"It turns out that Yu Xilang was a troublemaker when he was a child." After listening to Concubine De say some interesting things that Yu Xilang did when she was a child, Xiao Meier said happily.
"Speaking of others, you yourself are not, climbing trees, playing tricks on people, and stealing other people's sacrificial chickens, how much trouble did you get into for your brother." Old Madam Xiao, who didn't know when she regained consciousness, said.
Seeing that the three of them laughed at her, Xiao Meier said to Mrs. Xiao: "Mother, are you still not my mother?" ”
Maybe it was just the sore spot of Mrs. Xiao, and her mood changed.
"Mother, I'm sorry." Xiao Meier also knew that she had said the wrong thing and was naughty.
Old Madam Xiao said: "Silly boy, fortunately, you are so caring and sensible now." ”
"That's because I have the most virtuous mother and the brother who loves me." Seeing that Old Madam Xiao didn't blame her, Xiao Mei'er smiled again.
Concubine De said: "The brother and sister relationship between City Lord Xiao and Miss Xiao is really good. ”
Xiao Meier said: "The relationship between Yu Xilang and the fifth prince is also very good!" ”
"When Yao'er first came to my side, Lang'er was very exclusionary of him, and he was afraid that he would take away my favor, so he didn't even go to the Guozijian, and stuck to me every day." Concubine De said this, and there was a maternal love in her eyes.
"The Fifth Lord is not your own?" Xiao Meier was very surprised.
"Yao'er's mother is a palace maid by my side after entering the palace, her talent and appearance are far better than mine, but unfortunately her life is thin." Concubine De said very sincerely. I also regret her death.
Zhang Mengjie felt from her words that Yu Xiyao's mother's death was not so simple, and Concubine De knew something, but she didn't tell people easily. These have nothing to do with them, and Zhang Mengjie doesn't care.
"Then how did the relationship between the two brothers become so good?" Xiao Mei'er asked.
"Lang'er's inaction angered Your Majesty, and His Majesty personally sent him to the Guozi Prison, and threatened him not to see me if he was disobedient. In Guozijian, Lang'er often blames Yao'er for others and his master, and Yao'er never explains other people's misunderstandings. Concubine De couldn't laugh or cry when she said this: "Once he asked his father-in-law to dig a hole and set a trap in the imperial forest and said that he wanted to hunt something nasty, but the father-in-law thought he was talking about animals and didn't care too much. After setting the trap, Lang'er tricked Yao'er into going there to catch a hare for him, Yao'er fell into the dark line that Lang'er asked her father-in-law to set up, and saw Yao'er being embarrassed by the dark line. Carried away, Lang'er forgot that there was a hole behind him that was blocked by a tree branch. I fell into it proudly. Although the hole was not deep, the two of them were small at the time, and Yao'er used a lot of methods to save Lang'er when she almost ran out of strength. When it got dark, Lang'er was afraid and cried, and Yao'er jumped down in a hurry. hugged Lang'er and comforted him. ”
"The fifth prince is so stupid. Just go find someone to save Yu Xilang. Xiao Meier said.
Concubine De said: "I also asked Yao'er like this afterwards. Yao'er told me that if he left and some fierce animals went there, there would be no one to help Lang'er. When she found them, Lang'er was already asleep in Yao'er's arms. From then on, Yao'er told His Majesty that she wanted to practice martial arts, and Lang'er began to stick to Yao'er every day. ”
"The eighth prince is just afraid of losing your mother, and his nature is not bad. Otherwise it wouldn't be just such a prank. Old Madam Xiao said.
"I wish he was a daughter and wouldn't be so much of a headache. Yao'er didn't worry about it since she was a child. Concubine De said.
"Not necessarily, Mei'er was more skinny than Yi'er when she was young, and my body was not very good enough to be tossed by her, but fortunately, Yi'er was sensible and had his help." Old Madam Xiao said: "But Queen Zhang knew at a glance that she was a well-behaved and lovely person. ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "The times create heroes, Mei'er and the Eighth Prince's identity is there, and they have the capital to be naughty." ”
Thinking of Zhang Mengjie's life experience, Mrs. Xiao and Concubine De didn't know how to answer.
Zhang Mengjie knew what they had misunderstood, and said with a slight smile: "Although I didn't have the love of my parents since I was a child, my grandparents treated me very well." Because of the will of the emperor, there was a period of time in the palace that the grandmother who was out of the palace at an age taught me etiquette and palace rules. Except for that time, they didn't limit me, and I also had a happy childhood. ”
Zhang Mengjie doesn't like this kind of depressing and dull atmosphere to say such half-truths, what Mama taught was what Murong Xue told her. When she said this, she thought of her mother again, and it seems that she misses her mother less and less recently, and her mother has not come out of the grief of losing her, and only occasionally thinks of her.
"Who taught Empress Zhang those novelties?"
"No one taught me, I thought of it myself." Concubine De's words brought back Zhang Mengjie's thoughts, and she was a little weak when she said this, but she was very calm on the surface.
"He's smart. The people around me are not simple. Old Madam Xiao thought that the position of the dishes after moving the dishes in the breeze did take into account everyone.
"Qingfeng was given to me by the queen mother, she is a capable person, and she is the housekeeper in my palace in the palace." Zhang Mengjie deliberately ignored Mrs. Xiao's appreciation for her, and she also knew that the people around her were Qingfeng.
Which house, the housekeeper in the palace is not a man, well, some are not but they used to be. This was really unexpected by Old Madam Xiao and Concubine De, and they couldn't help but look at Qingfeng a few more times.
Qingfeng explained a little uncomfortably: "My mother doesn't like to be public, there are only six people in the palace who serve Niangniang, and the slave maid just stays with the mother for a long time, and is more familiar with the situation in the Niangniang Palace, the six people in the palace have their own responsibilities, and they don't have to worry about the slaves." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "You don't have to be modest, I gave you this position because you have this ability, you are allocating the food and clothing for the seven of us, there has never been a mistake, there is no problem in managing a mansion with your ability." ”
Concubine De said: "What Empress Zhang said is reasonable, whether a person has the ability does not depend on how much power he has, but whether he has the ability to manage the things he wants to take care of in front of him." ”
"Jie'er, are there really only six people in the palace to serve you?" Xiao Mei'er didn't dare to be interested in other things, so she immediately asked when she had the opportunity.
"Niangniang doesn't need to be served at all, and she doesn't know who serves whom in the palace." Qingfeng didn't want to continue that topic, and replied to Xiao Meier's question for Zhang Mengjie.
"Did they see that Jie'er was so bullying that they climbed on her head." The words of the breeze simulation made Xiao Meier misunderstand.
"You think too much, the most important thing for the people I choose is loyalty, as long as they do their duty, I will not treat them badly." Zhang Mengjie said: "Qingfeng means that sometimes I teach them some fun things, and they forget what they should do and let me do it myself." ”
Xiao Mei'er said: "You don't punish them like this, aren't you afraid that they will develop habits and become more and more ignorant of the rules?" (To be continued.) )
