In ancient times, kinship has always been a very important bond, otherwise the emperors of the previous dynasties would not all be one relative, and the marriage between the two families would not be so important politically, and the prince would not feel that Nie Sangyu gave birth to a child was a great threat to him.

Therefore, Ji Man was clearly helping the crown prince today, and was unanimously condemned by the old lady and the third prince.

The third prince sat on the side with a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "My cousin may not understand the things outside, and I don't know what it means to Jue to help the prince earn fame."

The old lady looked at her with a serious face: I always thought that the girl Sang Yu was smart and sensible, and you must listen to Xuan'er's orders, but there is no need to do that.

Ji Man lowered his head and let them talk happily, then he looked up with tears in his eyes and said: Sang Yu is thinking about his cousin, and he didn't make it clear to his cousin beforehand, which caused his cousin to misunderstand, it was Sang Yu's fault.

Zhao Jue raised his eyebrows and helped the prince do things, why did he still think about him?

What do you mean by that?

Ji Man pinched his handkerchief and said aggrievedly: Today, Sang Yu helped Hou Ye collect a lot of food and medicinal materials, which are worth thousands of gold. In the eyes of the emperor, these are all done by the crown prince.

The third prince nodded and sneered: "Yes, recently, I have exaggerated that the eldest brother walks with the wind.

Ji Man said in a low voice: But hasn't the prince always had a clean breeze on his sleeves?

The third prince and the old lady were all stunned, and then Zhao Jue understood, daring to love his cousin is still a great character, so he is waiting here?

The crown prince's auxiliary government, there is no less oil and water in the hands of officials, but the surface work is good, what has always been advertised is not greedy for the slightest, and the birthday gift to the emperor is a bowl of rice porridge, crying every day, which makes the emperor feel distressed, and the reward is not missing him.

But behind the crown prince is the queen, although the prime minister has returned to his hometown, but Xiao Tianyi's success in ascending to the throne is his pillar, and he will definitely not lose his benefits. The third prince had always wanted to denounce the prince's corruption, but he didn't expect Nie Sangyu to personally hand over such a good opportunity to him!

The old lady was still a little dazed, and the third prince couldn't sit still, so she stood up and said with a smile: Good cousin, it's Jue who blames you, and I will definitely let your cousin-in-law come to the door in person and send you something later.

After speaking, he turned around and saluted the old lady: It was Jue who disturbed today, so he retired.

The old lady wanted to ask what was going on, but the third prince had already left in a hurry. The old lady sighed, turned her head to look at Ji Man, Ji Man hurriedly whispered in her ear to explain, the old lady clapped her hand and said happily: I just said that you are smart, this is a virtuous helper, if the imperial concubine knows, she will definitely reward you!

Ji Man said with a smile: It's all a family, and Sang Yu naturally won't help outsiders.

But what if the prince pursues Xuan'er? The old lady became worried again.

Ji Man rubbed the old lady's shoulders and said softly: No, although everyone knows that medicinal materials and food are very valuable, if the emperor really asks people to ask the price, the grain store medicine hall will definitely only report it at the usual price, at most it will say that it is out of stock. According to the usual price, the things that Sang Yu bought were also within the scope of Hou Ye's savings. Hou Ye does things for the prince, and the prince will not lead the fire to Hou Ye, but will only suffer this loss himself.

In this way, the prince's poor image will naturally not be able to hold on, and the emperor will have a rod and scale in his heart, and the rewards given to the two princes in the future will not favor one over the other.

The old lady nodded, and suddenly looked up at her again: Where did you get your money?

Ji Man was stunned, secretly shouted badly, and hurriedly said: Sang Yu knew that Hou Ye was going to do something recently, so he sold all his dowry, and it was naturally good to be able to help Hou Ye a thing or two.

As Nie Xiangyuan's pearl, Nie Sangyu had a lot of dowries at the beginning, but they were always kept in the warehouse, that is, she was eligible to use them when she became the housemother again. Let's say this first, and I'll really go and sell the dowry secretly later.

The old lady half-closed her eyes, and said with a sigh: I have always seen your heart for Xuan'er, and since it is for his good, I will not pursue anything.

Ji Man replied humbly, the old lady is not a fool, but isn't it for her son's good, and it really can't be said that she will be held accountable.

When Mo Yuhou came back in the evening, he was in a very good mood, and went to Wen Wan's side to probe the injury, and then came to the Feiwan Pavilion.

Ji Man smiled and offered his courtesy: What good things happened to Master Hou?

Ning Yuxuan enjoyed the massage with peace of mind, and said softly: I heard that you are very showy today and have solved a lot of troubles for me.

Yes, it is also the wife's business to share the worries of the husband. Ji Man replied very well-behaved.

Mo Yuhou raised his eyes, looked at her deeply for a while, and held the person in his arms with a low smile: You are a clever ghost, you are exquisite, and you are pleasing in front of everyone.

Ji Man sat on his lap and said very seriously: The concubine thinks that the eight-sided exquisite is a compliment, and it is really not easy to do it.

Ning Yuxuan chuckled, touched her belly and said: There are still five months to give birth, right?

Ji Man also stretched out his hand to cover it, nodded, looked at him a little tentatively and asked: Master Hou thinks that this child can be born safely?

Mo Yuhou paused, and the smile in his eyes faded: What do you want to do so much? This kid is so decent, how can he not be peaceful?

Ji Man looked back at him, there was lingering tenderness and motherhood in his eyes, and his eyes looked bright: This is the first time that the concubine has been a mother, thinking that she will give birth to this child no matter what, and ask Hou Ye to fulfill it.

For such a long time, she stood up to Nie Sangyu's body, and she was dedicated to Mo Yuhou, and she had changed from an ignorant and vicious second female second to a second female who did her best to know how to advance and retreat, if Mo Yuhou couldn't afford any ripples in her heart, she really wanted to know if this person had gallstones in her chest.

Ning Yuxuan's eyes flashed, and he hugged her and was silent for a while before saying: Why do you want me to do it, you can raise the baby with peace of mind, it will be fine.

Ji Man nodded seriously, and said very affectionately: The concubine believes in Master Hou.

I also believe that this time, if there is really something wrong, she will definitely want Mo Yuhou's family up and down, and the chickens and dogs will be restless.

The next day, Jiman took the key to the warehouse, hired someone from outside, and sold the dowry first. Although this matter is tantamount to canceling the case and fulfilling the lie told by the old lady, it is still good to do it in private.

It's just that carrying is a big deal in the end, although Ji Man chose to take a lunch break when everyone was on a lunch break, but unfortunately, Alfalfa didn't sleep, and just planned to come over to talk to Ji Man.

So she saw the boxes of things she was familiar with, and was carried out of the house.

Alfalfa was very confused, but she didn't say anything, she just went in to say hello to Ji Man.

Ji Man looked at Alfalfa and asked her with a smile how she was doing.

Alfalfa reluctantly smiled and said: Mrs. To's blessing can be regarded as no longer having to serve people, but the life of a concubine is not very good after all.

Ji Man thought to himself, last time there was such a good opportunity to take the position, who made you afraid of death and refused to take care of Mo Yuhou? He also kept saying that he liked Ning Yuxuan, which was probably a girl's feelings, and he was confused by that face. Although she agreed to help her be an aunt, if people are too stupid and snobbish, she is also powerless.

In front of the Marquis of Ming'er, I will help you talk. Ji Man said in a soft voice: "With more grace, if you are pregnant with an heir, it will not be difficult to help you again."

There was some light in Alfalfa's eyes, since she became a concubine, Mo Yuhou had not been to her a few times, and many maids in the house laughed at her behind her back. If the lady is willing to help her get favored, it will not be in vain that she betrays the snow master.

Coming out of the non-evening pavilion, the alfalfa mood is obviously good, and the whole way is a small jump back to the fragrance pavilion. But when I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw Li Zixiu.

Alfalfa's face changed instantly, and she stood in a proper manner, rubbing her handkerchief a little helplessly.

Are you going to be favored? Li Zixiu carried the medicine box on his back and asked this sentence without yin or yang.

Alfalfa glanced at Lu Qiao behind him, and Lu Qiao hurriedly said: "Doctor Li is here to give the master's pulse? Let's go talk first."

Li Zixiu was invited into the Wenxiang Pavilion, and Lu Qiao looked left and right at the outside of the door and closed the courtyard door.

Ji Man reconciled in the room, recently she has subsidized a lot of household expenses, the last time the account of medicinal materials and grain, she only used the normal price to write down, and withdrew five hundred taels of silver in the account room. But the actual cost is simply too big to see, fortunately there is a treasury to support, otherwise she will not be able to complete this errand.

Everyone else thinks that she is a good manager of accounts, and she can use one tael of silver into ten taels of silver, but in fact, this is completely made by silver, and it is ten taels of silver! Ji Man cried silently, it is really difficult to manage a family.

But I always have to find an opportunity to withdraw my money and stop making up for it like this. Otherwise, in the long run, someone will always find that her silver is too much to be used up, and if it is debunked, it can also cause a catastrophe.

Knowing her secret at the moment, there is just a alfalfa in the Hou Mansion, Ji Man held her chin and thought, the chance of that girl betraying her is five or five points, but it is still not very safe, she has to find a chance to let this secret rot in her stomach.

After two days of persuasion by Ji Man, or rather verbosity, Mo Yuhou finally couldn't bear it anymore and went to Alfalfa. But this time, for some reason, I didn't want to go again. But Alfalfa seemed to be very happy, even if Hou Ye never went to see her again, she was so happy that she was like a good day was coming.

Ji Man was puzzled, but after two months, she knew the answer.
