But she got up before dawn to collect dew, and after another day of tiring work during the day, she was already a little sleepy.

It's all too late, and the prince doesn't mean to sleep yet, she is really sleepy, she secretly yawns a few times, and secretly pinched herself several pick-me-ups.

However, at three o'clock, she couldn't stand it, her eyelids couldn't be opened, and her head fell one after another.

"Presumptuous!"

Just when she was listening to Rong's squinting eyes and dozing off, she suddenly heard a loud shout, which frightened her to open her eyes suddenly, and the whole person suddenly woke up.

I saw that the prince was glaring at her angrily, "You don't grind well, but you doze off here, it's just unseemly!" ”

"Your Highness... Slaves deserve death... But the minions are too sleepy... This... That's when I was napping, ......" Tingrong knelt on the ground and excused herself.

"Someone!" Pei Xuanling high-fived slightly, and Huang Dechang came in with the eunuch, "What does Your Highness command?" ”

Pei Xuanling indifferently ordered: "Listen to Rong's inconsiderate service, take her out, and punish her to kneel outside for two hours." ”

"Don't... The slave and maid are too sleepy, please have mercy on the slave and maid...... "She is sleepy, and she has to kneel for two hours, how can she bear it?"

No matter how Rong begged for mercy, she was still taken down.

The prince rested.

Early the next morning, Pei Xuanling got up early as usual, but learned that Tingrong had fainted last night.

However, he hurried to the court and couldn't care so much.

When he returned to the East Palace, the first-class palace maid in the front yard stepped forward to report: "Your Highness, the queen mother is here, saying that she is waiting for you to go down to the court and let you go to listen to Miss Rong's room." ”

After changing into court clothes, Pei Xuanling went to the lower room of the palace maids.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw the queen condescending to sit on the bunk, and Tingrong was lying on the bed with a weak face.

Seeing that the prince was coming, Tingrong also wanted to get up and salute, but was held back by the queen.

Walking up to the queen, Pei Xuanling saluted the queen, "Queen Jin'an." ”

This time, the queen didn't help the prince, but just shouted lightly, "Prince, the palace maid carefully selected for you by this palace is such a waste for you?" ”

"You reward the palace maid to the son, and the son treats her like other palace maids, why do you want to say it?" Pei Xuanling found a chair in the room and sat down.

The queen was displeased, "Look at how tired she is?" With sallow skin, thin body, and fainted last night, you ask yourself, are the palace maids in the East Palace so bad? ”

"This palace said at the beginning, I heard that Rong came to the East Palace to be a maid for you, but what about you, not only let her do dirty work, but I heard that she was also punished for kneeling at night, just this treatment, not to mention treating her as a palace maid, it is not even as good as an ordinary palace maid!"

"Before the master rested, she dozed off on the side." Pei Xuanling said lightly: "If it weren't for the face of the queen mother, the punishment would be light." ”

Queen: "I heard that she got up before dawn to collect dew, can she not be sleepy at night?" ”

"Lone also went to the court before dawn, and he could still insist on reviewing official documents at night."

"......" the queen choked slightly, "She is a well-born palace maid, who is used to open branches and leaves for you, but you let her work day and night, of course not." ”

Pei Xuanling: "As a palace maid, she can't even do things within her part, not only is she sleepy, she faints when she kneels, and her body is weak like this, which point does it look like a good birth?" ”

Hearing the prince's words, Tingrong, who was lying on the bed, burst into tears.

The prince has no heart.

It's a shame that she thought that the prince had changed last night and began to treat him well, but it turned out that she didn't have a good heart!

The queen choked up again: "......"

"If the queen mother feels sorry for her, take her back to Fengluan Palace." Pei Xuanling turned his head and looked at the queen lightly.

Queen: "......" She finally understood, since she rewarded Tingrong to the prince, the prince never thought of pampering Tingrong at all.

She said that Tingrong was good at giving birth, and the prince tortured Tingrong into a weak woman.

Thinking of this, the queen was so angry that she couldn't do it, but she still maintained a good demeanor.

The queen took a deep breath, "That's it, since you don't like to listen to Rong, this palace is not reluctant, this palace will bring her back in a while, anyway, this palace uses her well!" ”

"That being the case, that's the best thing." Pei Xuanling got up, "Lone still has to go to the Ministry of Rites, so I won't accompany my mother much, and when I have time another day, Lone will go to Fengluan Palace to greet you." ”

After finishing speaking, Pei Xuanling left the next room.

On the same day, the queen really brought Tingrong back to Fengluan Palace.

For a while, the front yard of the East Palace was a lot cleaner.

Even Concubine Tang had no excuse and always ran to the front yard.

**

The sixth day of the eighth month is the day of the Jiang family's housewarming.

Jiang Shishi and the crown prince left the palace early, bought congratulatory gifts in Beijing, and went to Jiang's house in a carriage.

Because of the greeting post in advance, when the carriage arrived there, the Jiang family had already been waiting at the door for a long time.

The prince got out of the carriage first, and Jiang Shishi followed closely behind, helping Chunxing's men to get out of the carriage.

"Hail to His Royal Highness the Prince!" Seeing the crown prince, the Jiang family all knelt down.

Glancing at the Jiang family kneeling on the ground, Pei Xuanling said lightly: "Let's get up." ”

Jiang Shishi glanced at Aunt Feng, who was already eight years younger than Jiang's father, and with proper maintenance over the years, she had a woman's charm.

His gaze crossed Feng and fell on his stepsister Jiang Huairou behind Feng Shi.

Jiang Huairou inherited Feng's beauty, coupled with her slender and light figure, she was very smart.

I saw that after Jiang Huairou got up, she glanced at the prince shyly and timidly, and this scene happened to fall in Jiang Shishi's eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's arrival has simply made the humble house shine." Such a warm greeting is the original owner's cheap daddy Jiang Gaoda.

According to the rules, Jiang Shishi greeted the Jiang family and brother and sister-in-law respectively.

Feng also took his stepbrother Jiang Huaizhe and stepsister Jiang Huairou each called Jiang Shishi "big sister".

Jiang Huairou not only shouted Jiang Shishi, but also said in surprise: "Big sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are much richer than before... I almost didn't even recognize you. ”

Jiang Shishi looked at Jiang Huairou, and the other party's face was innocent.

For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Then, the men of the Jiang family took the prince to the front hall to drink tea.

Jiang Shishi and sister-in-law Tao walked together, greeting Tao and reminiscing, "Sister-in-law, what about Chu Chu and Nannan?" ”

"They're so mischievous that they're in the backyard." Speaking of children, Dow has a gentle smile on his face.

"I haven't seen them in a long time, you take me to see them." Jiang Shishi and Tao entered the courtyard side by side.

As soon as the two approached the backyard, they heard the sound of children playing.

When I entered the backyard, I saw a girl and a boy chasing me in the yard.

Tao and Jiang Shishi sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, "Chuchu, Nannan, come and see who is coming!" ”

Soon, the two children were brought to Jiang Shishi by the servants.

Nannan looked up at Jiang Shishi, shook her head and said, "Mother, this person looks so familiar, but I don't know her......"

Chu Chu is a girl, with two pinching, as an older sister, she recognized Jiang Shishi, "Mother, Nannan is so stupid, I don't even know my aunt." ”

After speaking, she threw herself into Jiang Shishi's arms and rubbed Jiang Shishi's clothes with her face affectionately.

Jiang Shishi held Chu Chu with her left hand, and played with Chu Chu's cute little tease with her right hand.

Nannan looked at Jiang Shishi curiously, isn't the aunt very thin?

The child was quiet for a while, and soon he was playing crazy in the yard again.

Jiang Shishi asked Chun Xing to hand over the gift to Tao.

Those gifts include rouge gouache, jewelry, longevity locks worn by children, silver bracelets, etc.

Tao refused to ask for it at first, Jiang Shishi was unhappy, and Tao was willing to accept it.

Just when the two sisters-in-law were catching up, Feng took Jiang Huairou to come uninvited.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard, the two pairs of eyes stared at the jewelry and rouge gouache on the stone table.

"Isn't this the hottest set of rouge in Beijing, how can my sister-in-law have a set?" Jiang Huairou asked knowingly.

Dow: "Poetry sent me." ”

Jiang Huairou: "I really envy my sister-in-law, I can have such a good set of rouge, I heard that this rouge works very well, I wanted to buy it last time, but my mother was reluctant." ”

She said so, if this is interesting, maybe the sister-in-law will give her some, or the big sister will give her a set.

However, Tao and Jiang Shishi didn't talk about it at all.

Seeing that the atmosphere was embarrassing, Feng Shi sat down on the side and deliberately reprimanded Jiang Huairou, "You are young and good-looking, even if you don't wear rouge, you look good, what do you want such a good rouge to do, it's a waste of silver!" ”

This sounds like a reprimand for his daughter, but in fact, he is a mockery of Jiang Shishi and Tao's age, poor complexion, and they have to rely on rouge and gouache to get a good complexion.

Jiang Huairou pursed her lips and stood silently behind Feng.

After training Jiang Huairou, Feng said to Jiang Shishi with a smile: "Xiao Shi, when you participated in the show girl election, I knew that you were a good person, and now, you have become a concubine of the East Palace, and you have also been promoted to Liangdi, which really gives our parents face." ”

If it weren't for Huairou who was not old, otherwise if Huairou participated in the show girl election, what would happen to her Jiang Shishi?

Feng: "However, although you are a good woman, but this figure is too plump, our Eastern Liang Kingdom is thin and beautiful, if you want to be favored for a long time, you have to be like your sister, maintain a slender and slender figure, otherwise it is easy to fall out of favor." ”

"The harem pays attention to the evenness of rain and dew, and no one can be pampered." Jiang Shishi never thought about serving people in Israel at all.

Besides, she has found the secret to surviving in the East Palace without sleeping in the East Palace, and that is to help the prince avoid trouble through spoilers.

Tao on the side also said: "Aunt Feng, Xiaoshi was like this after she got sick last year, I think she is very good now, her body is well-proportioned, and she is not too fat, as long as the prince does not dislike it." ”

"What? Little poem: When did you get sick? Feng Shi was startled at first, and then asked distressedly, "What kind of illness is born?" Is it seriously ill? ”

Looking at Feng's slightly exaggerated acting skills, Jiang Shishi understood it in her heart, and briefly told Feng about the original owner's illness last year.

After Feng Shi heard this, she felt so distressed that she squeezed out a few tears, wiped her tears, and said, "In your case, do you not care about your body, or do you have to focus on your body." ”

Then she changed her words, "Since you are not in good health, you can't serve the prince well, and you happen to be at the age of being married, see if you can let her enter the East Palace with you, so that you two sisters can also take care of each other in the palace......"

Jiang Shishi didn't speak, just looked at Feng Shi with a sneer.

Seeing a sneer on the corner of Jiang Shishi's mouth, Feng Shi tried to say: "Don't worry, there is a first come and a first arrival in everything, I must not let her go past you, just let her be a beauty in the East Palace......"
