Chapter Eighty-Three: Attacking the Heart
Mama Gui walked outside the study, waited for a while, and saw that there was no sound of Qin Yue dropping things inside, so she stepped forward and knocked on the door with the food box.
Qin Yue said, "Come in." β
Mama Gui walked in with a kind smile on her face.
"The prince is hungry, right? I didn't eat much dinner tonight. Mama has prepared some snacks for you. This beef porridge is your favorite when you were a kid, so drink it while it's hot. β
Mama Gui said as she opened the food box and brought out the snacks and porridge.
Qin Yue looked at the beef porridge, his heart warmed, and he remembered many past events.
When Qin Yue was very young, his mother died. At that time, Emperor Qin Ce of Qi Ming was slightly older than him and more sensible.
The first emperor gave Qin Ce to his favorite concubine, who is now the empress dowager to raise.
The queen mother herself had no children under her knees and could not have children, so she devoted herself to raising Qin Ce and treating him as her own son. Qin Ce was also very competitive.
But Qin Yue didn't have the same good luck as Qin Ce, he was still young at that time, he couldn't even speak, and he couldn't see whether he was smart and had potential.
The other concubines in the palace all had their own children, and no one was willing to raise him. Originally, the Empress Dowager wanted to bring him over, but the first emperor arranged for him to be another concubine.
That concubine couldn't say anything about Qin Yue, but fortunately, Qin Yue's nurse Mama Gui had been following Qin Yue to take care of him.
There were many times, and it was also thanks to Mama Gui that Qin Yue's childhood was able to suffer a lot less.
Therefore, after Qin Yue established the mansion as an adult, he took Mama Gui out of the palace together, let her be in charge of the Jingwang Mansion, and also gave her a considerable amount of silver every year.
"You remember what I liked to eat when I was a kid." Qin Yue picked up the porridge, and his tone was much gentler.
"Hey, how can you not remember. Such a small milk doll is so big in a blink of an eye. Mama is also old...... I don't know how many more years I can take care of you. Mama Gui said with a little feeling.
"I don't know how happy I am to see you start a family. It's just that...... Today, it is probably that Mama is too anxious and too strict with the new princess. In fact, I hope that she can stand up as soon as possible and become familiar with the rules of the palace. In the future, I will be your virtuous helper and support you. β
Qin Yue smiled: "Mama doesn't have to worry, Jiaojiao has just gotten married, and she is young." She is not familiar with everything here, and when she adapts to the life of the palace, it is not too late for you to teach her slowly. β
"In the future, she will always be in charge of the middle feed in the palace."
When Mama Gui heard the previous words, she kept a warm smile on her face, but when she heard Qin Yue say the last sentence, her complexion changed.
"It's nature. Therefore, the girl in Zhuzhu is also frizzy, I have already reprimanded her today, and I will not be in front of the princess again in the next few days. β
"So Zhu has always been docile, you will ask someone to send her a bottle of medicine later."
"Oh, yes!" Mama Gui smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyebrows, and she was a little carried away for a while.
"Don't blame me for being too talkative, in fact, Mama has been in the palace for so many years, and she has a very accurate eye for people. If you can marry the daughter of the Ruan family, then you are a good candidate to be the mother of the house. It's a pity...... Alas. β
In the past, it was also Mama Gui who said in front of Qin Yue that Ruan Qingshuang was a suitable candidate for a wife, and Qin Yue came up with the idea.
Hearing this, Qin Yue's brows furrowed.
"Mama, don't say anything like that again. Jiaojiao is the most suitable woman for me, and since I have married her, I intend to go with her for the rest of my life. In the future, I will have to worry more about you, and slowly teach her to take care of the affairs of the palace. β
"Yes! It's me who talks too much. I will teach her patiently in the future. Mama Gui smiled humbly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't eat anything at night, she put some medicine on Taohong.
"Miss, I don't see you haven't eaten much at night, or I'll go to the kitchenette and get you something."
"No, I'm not hungry." Ruan Jiaojiao's soft fingers were dipped in ointment and smeared on her pink face.
Therefore, the bamboo hand is very heavy, much heavier than Ruan Jiaojiao.
"Miss, after you helped me apply the medicine, I feel much better, it seems that it doesn't hurt at all now."
Ruan Jiaojiao laughed, thinking that Tao Hong was comforting her.
"Miss, Madame picked out so many maids and wives for you, why don't you bring them? Look at how weak we are in the palace now. "You've been bullied.
Ruan Jiaojiao's fingers paused, of course she understood Miao's intentions. But when she got married, she didn't think that Jingwangfu was a good place, Qin Yue's uncertain temperament, she felt that she might die in Jingwangfu in the future.
The master is dead, what good can the subordinates have? Ruan Jiaojiao didn't want to harm others and herself, so she only brought a peach. The other Ruan Jiaojiao said that it would be arranged in the future. Bringing rosΓ© is also because she herself is very insistent and must follow.
Peach gave birth to a pair of big eyes, and at this time her eyes were purring, "Miss, you will come back in two days, let's bring Hongyan." β
"Hong Yan? Why? β
"She has a lot of strength, and she must be good at fighting!"
"But she stammered, and she couldn't quarrel with others."
"It's okay, I'm articulate, I move, she moves. Let's fight all over the palace invincible! β
Ruan Jiaojiao was amused by the peach, and the two laughed together.
"I don't know if Hongyan is willing or not." Ruan Jiaojiao said casually.
Peach's eyes widened: "Yes, she is willing." You don't know, since you...... After leaving, the girls in Begonia Curie can have their own thoughts. Just that green bamboo, looking for a chance to run to the eldest lady's courtyard. Only Hongyan, who has been diligently cleaning your yard and boudoir, as if waiting for you to come back. β
Ruan Jiaojiao remembered the deep love of Hongyan on the night she escaped, and she really liked this righteous maid.
"Alright then, bring her if she wants."
The two chatted for a while, Ruan Jiaojiao's mood was much better, and at this moment, Qin Yue suddenly pushed the door and came in.
The cheerful atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, and Peach Rainbow, who was originally sitting on the embroidery pier, immediately stood up, stepped aside, and saluted: "Lord Wang." β
Qin Yue nodded and motioned for her to step back.
Ruan Jiaojiao watched Qin Yue come in, and her heart suddenly became nervous again.
When she was eating just now, it was because she was stimulated by Mama Gui and she was beaten by Peach, so she was holding her breath in her heart.
At this time, the anger was also spread, and the people were also beaten, and after so long, Ruan Jiaojiao's arrogance has also disappeared a little.
She was still quite afraid that if Qin Yue's mania attack was stimulated, she would be pinched to death after only a few days of marriage.
Qin Yue glanced at her, the little girl looked like a fried rabbit.
"Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry."
"I don't see you ate anything at night."
"I'm not hungry."
"Then rest, come and change my clothes."
Jiaojiao Ruan: ......
She knew that there were many rules for women in ancient times after they got married, and it was normal to change her husband's clothes. Mama Gui also asked her to take care of Qin Yue's food, clothing, and daily life.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at Qin Yue, who stretched out her arms, and could only reluctantly walk over.
