Chapter 8: Jealousy
He only threw down a sentence, and then quickened his pace to the east courtyard, the housekeeper had been by Chi Yuan's side for more than ten years, and he had already figured out his thoughts, and nodded when he heard the words, and said yes.
He turned around and said to Zhao Yi, who had stopped, "Miss, please come here." ”
He gestured, he didn't call her a princess, but he didn't mean to bully, and called Miss respectfully, probably because he wasn't sure if she was included in the backyard by Chi Yuan.
Zhao Yi had a good impression of him, nodded politely, and glanced at the direction he gave way sideways.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the path that Chi Yuan just took?
Before she could speak, the concubines standing behind her couldn't help it.
"Is Steward Yang mistaken, this is a nameless and nameless lowly embryo, do you still have to arrange her in the East Courtyard?!" The man who spoke was dressed in a pink dress, with his hands folded in front of his chest, and looked at her proudly.
"That is, this kind of person is also worthy of serving the prince with us? It is said that this Princess De'an of the Southern Dynasty is ugly, and now she has a veil on her face, I'm afraid that she is worried that she will frighten us?! A woman in green beside her responded.
The two of you went back and forth, and the rest of the people laughed.
"Steward Yang, you better confirm with the prince, otherwise the guess is wrong, and this sister will be affected."
Steward Yang didn't speak, just smiled, glanced at Zhao Yi again, and let her walk ahead.
Those concubines were still chewing their tongues, but Steward Yang had a very high status in the mansion, and no one dared to provoke him, so he could only watch Zhao Yi go to the east courtyard with Chi Yuan's big coat Shi Shiran.
She ignored it, and she didn't argue in front of the housekeeper, so that she could get a good reputation after this matter reached Chi Yuan's ears.
Moreover, quarreling with this kind of person is a complete waste of saliva, she has always said little, if you really want to be tough, either you die or I live.
"Miss, don't worry, the east courtyard is the residence of the prince, only the prince is here, except for the side concubine on weekdays, everyone else must be notified in advance."
Steward Yang followed behind Zhao Yi and introduced the situation in the house to her.
Now there is one side concubine and thirteen concubines in the backyard of the palace.
The side concubine's name is Ruyin, she is the young lady of the Northern Dynasty General's family, her father and brother both sacrificed their lives for the country, and she is a true martyr. She has a gentle and virtuous personality, never fights for the wind and is jealous, she is in the South Courtyard on weekdays, she doesn't go out often, if it weren't for Chi Yuan to visit or summon, she never took the initiative to invite pets.
Most of the thirteen concubines are young ladies from wealthy families, or clinging to or admiring, in short, they have their own plans, and they don't like each other. These thirteen people are all in the West Courtyard right now, and there is a hundred and eight thousand miles between them and her.
Zhao Yi was silent all the way and didn't speak, occasionally nodding his head as Ying He, but in fact, he was also calculating the real strength of Huainan Palace.
After all, these dozen or so women, just wearing gold and silver will cost a lot of money, how can Chi Yuan be rich in the world, so that the palace can be so "lively".
And when she first entered the palace, she was arranged by his side, which was an honor in the eyes of others, and in her opinion, there were only four words: "have to be guarded against".
"Miss, this is the east courtyard, and you live in the small courtyard on the west side."
Steward Yang stopped in front of the door of the small courtyard on the west side and motioned for her to come in: "Although you are not the master of the courtyard, you have also been assigned a maidservant Xiaolan, if there is anything else that needs to be added, let Xiaolan come to find the old slave." ”
"Steward Yang is polite, the prince gave the name Yi'er, you can also call me Yi'er." She nodded and bowed slightly, "Thank you Steward Yang for leading the way." ”
"Miss Yi'er doesn't have to be polite, it's all what an old slave should do."
Steward Yang put down this sentence, watched her enter the courtyard, stopped talking, and turned to leave.
Feng Ge was already waiting in the courtyard, and she followed Traceless in through the side door and was led here directly.
"Princess ......"
"Don't use that title anymore, just call me girl." Zhao Yi reminded her, she instantly silenced, gritted her teeth and sighed, and nodded.
"Girl, I heard Wuxian say that this courtyard is the courtyard where the prince lives, so don't you live in the same courtyard with the prince?"
She had already seen Chi Yuan's handwriting this morning, if her girl was tortured like this by the prince every day in the future, I am afraid that she would die at a young age.
"Naturally, if it weren't for that, how could he rest assured?"
Chi Yuan was very suspicious, and although she tried her best to behave well-behaved, she still couldn't dispel his doubts in the past two days.
In the final analysis, it is still the remnants of the previous dynasty, and he has his own reasons for being wary.
"But if that's the case, then those concubines ...... Aren't I going to have to cut you down?! ”
