Chapter 38: Restless
"But who is not difficult to live in this world?" Xin Yi thought that he didn't have the atmosphere of his own girl, and while tucking the quilt for her, he said in his heart, "In the final analysis, the family is too greedy, not that you want to embarrass a few palace concubines."
"If their family can keep their own one-third of an acre of land, if they can do not enjoy the resources of the clan and do not participate in the affairs of the clan, they can naturally live their own small life quietly."
"But they can't!" As he spoke, Xin Yi snorted lightly again, "Let's just say that the lady concubine, the maid has heard that she is not honest even in the days of the grounding, today I will send this person to the Shangshi Bureau to have a look, and tomorrow I will send that person to the Shangyi Bureau for a walk."
"It seems that you still don't give up on the Spring Banquet!"
"How do you know these things?" Chi Xinian glanced at him strangely, "You stayed with me all day long, and you didn't pay attention to the affairs of Concubine Shu, how can you still know her movements?"
"It's... What did Qingyun or Gui Mama tell you? ”
"No, the maid listened to Li Fusheng and Manager Li outside the imperial study." Xin Yi never hid in front of Chi Xinian, and when her own girl asked, she said everything she knew like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, "This afternoon, didn't Niang Niang discuss things with His Majesty in the imperial study?"
The slave and maid were waiting outside with Manager Li.
"At first, we just had a casual conversation. But halfway through, a waiter suddenly came, saying that he wanted to report the movements of Concubine Shu to Manager Li.
"I was probably embarrassed to leave the servant alone, so Mr. Li simply asked someone to tell me about it in front of me."
According to Xin Yi, the chamberlain should have been specially assigned to monitor Concubine Shu, so he was extremely aware of Concubine Shu's every move.
From small things such as Concubine Shu losing her temper because her breakfast was not in order, to her deliberate dredging up the relationship, and getting her personal palace maid to the Shangshi Bureau to inquire about the preparation of the banquet, he made it clear one by one.
After listening to the waiter, Manager Li also quietly told her that Concubine Shu had been restless since the first day she was grounded.
She specially sent someone home to deliver a letter, and the next day, a female elder in the family brought a famous tea maker into the palace to meet.
Later, she asked a female official from the Shanggong Bureau to sew a new set of clothes for her. It's unclear what exactly the clothes are for, but most of them were worn at spring feasts.
"Is she preparing for the spring feast?" When she first heard that Concubine Shu did not give up, Chi Xinian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise.
But soon, she was relieved again: "It's normal to say, after all, the spring banquet is related to her aunt's glory, she has lost the opportunity to host the banquet, if she can't shine in the banquet again, in the future, she will have no face to mix in the harem." ”
"But the face she wants, she has to step on you to earn!" This is what Xin Yi is most dissatisfied with.
The banquet was organized by his own mother, which made others show off, what is going on?
In particular, this person is still the original host...
In such a relationship, whoever earns face will have a hard time for the other person.
In this way, Concubine Shu earns face, doesn't it make it clear that she wants to embarrass her own girl?!
"Earn it for her." Compared with Xin Yi, Chi Xi Nian's demeanor is much calmer, "She has the heart to earn these now, but her brother is fine." Brother Ming'er was implicated, so she didn't have the heart to compete with me. ”
