Chapter 10: Hai is under house arrest again
“No need.”
Concubine Fang refused and said, "The message was already passed on yesterday, and the prince must know about it. If I go again..." Wouldn't that annoy the prince?
Besides, there is a nanny named Hua from the palace living in the mansion. She keeps an eye on the prince's offspring. Nanny Hua has no control over where the prince goes, but if the prince doesn't go to the backyard for two days in a row, Nanny Hua will definitely not stand idly by.
study.
"Your Highness, Concubine Shen has had her period. Hai is in good health and can serve Your Highness now."
Nanny Hua got straight to the point and said, "Hai is a plump woman. She will definitely be able to get pregnant and give birth to a child for the prince soon."
"The palace has been hoping that the prince will have a child soon." Aunt Hua spoke earnestly, and the core point was one: go to the backyard!
Youlan Courtyard.
Shen Lingshu, who had her period, lay on the soft couch, eating the autumn pears and grapes that had just been delivered, and the chestnut cake made of chestnuts. She felt so comfortable.
After serving the prince for seven consecutive days, Shen Lingshu really had no words to express her suffering. Who said that the prince was not interested in women?
Not only did she have to pay her respects in the morning and listen to the sarcastic rolling eyes from Concubine Fang and Aunt Li, but she also had to serve the prince in the evening with all kinds of tricks, wishing she could try out all the positions in the booklet.
Fortunately, her period came, otherwise, she felt she would have died in bed.
In Yiheyuan, after having been stood up yesterday, Hai Jiaren ate dinner early today and then stood at the gate of the yard waiting.
As the night deepened and the inky figure drew closer, Hai Jiaren's eyes lit up with joy. She then bowed and said, "Hai greets His Majesty."
"Um."
A cool voice like the evening breeze sounded, and Hai Jiaren felt her eyes go dark when she heard it. A faint scent of pine floated by, and Hai's face turned red. She quickly stood up to greet it.
"Place it."
Prince Lin entered the room, went straight to the point, and took the shy Hai Jiaren directly to the bed.
"Your Majesty~"
Hai Jiaren was nervous and scared. After Prince Lin left and went to the bathroom in the inner room, Nanny Hua came with a pillow and placed it directly on her buttocks in an embarrassing position. Hai Jiaren moved.
"Madam Hua, please help me change my pillow. It's a bit prickly." Hai Jiaren felt uncomfortable.
"No."
Aunt Hua interrupted coldly, "You don't know, Auntie, this pillow has buckwheat in it, so it's the perfect height. Please be patient."
Hai Jiaren took a deep breath and waited until the time came. She simply washed up and looked at Prince Lin who came back into the room. He was wearing a white middle garment and his tall figure was as handsome as a pine tree.
Thinking of the scene just now, Hai Jiaren's pretty face flushed slightly, and she stepped forward to help: "Prince."
The deliberately softened voice seemed a little fake, not as natural as Shen Lingshu's.
"Speak nicely."
Prince Lin turned sideways, avoided her hand, and sat on the edge of the bed.
"yes."
Hai Jiaren's eyes turned slightly, she squatted down, looked up at him with admiration in her eyes: "I almost didn't get to see the prince."
Hai Jiaren raised her hand to wipe away her unfounded tears. She waited for a long time but did not see King Lin come to comfort her. Hai Jiaren felt a little embarrassed. When she looked up, she met King Lin's cold eyes.
"I, I..." Hai Jiaren thought of the suffering she had gone through in the past few days. Wouldn't it be a pity if she didn't sue Chen Lingshu?
My mother said that men are best to talk when they are in bed.
Hai Jiaren looked at Prince Lin hesitantly, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."
Her face was half covered with tears, her shoulders were trembling slightly, revealing her most beautiful watery eyes, and she looked like she was begging for mercy.
"Make the decision?" Prince Lin's voice became a little colder.
Hai Jiaren didn't notice and continued, "Yes, I don't know what ragweed flowers are. It's all because of Aunt Shen that I got rashes all over my body. That's why I can't serve the prince. The prince..."
When Hai Jiaren thought about the days after entering the mansion, the days when she was suffering from rashes all over her body, her words became more aggrieved.
The next moment, Hai Jiaren's face was pinched to the point of being deformed!
"Hai, anyone who dares to use any means to win my favor in my backyard will be beaten to death!" King Lin's cold voice fell, and the next moment, Hai Jiaren felt her body tilt and she fell to the ground.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Hai Jiaren looked at the prince's departing back, her face pale with fear, and she murmured to herself, "What should I do? Why is the prince saying something different from what mother said?"
Didn’t mom say that men are the best at talking in bed?
Didn’t mother say that she looked the most beautiful when she cried?
Prince Lin left Yihe Courtyard and asked, "What's going on with the ragweed flowers?"
Qing Wu's sleepiness disappeared immediately, and he said, "Your Highness, I will go check it out right away."
In the study, Qingwu quickly found out the details of how the ragweed flowers caused Aunt Hai to have a rash, and he reported everything one by one.
Prince Lin's eyes darkened slightly: "So, it was the Shen family who almost got caught?"
Prince Lin couldn't help but think of Qiu Rong. She treated the concubines and aunts in the backyard well, but what about them?
They resented Qiu Rong's pregnancy and caused her to die in childbirth.
"Hai's words are outrageous and he is under house arrest for half a month."
King Lin's words put Hai Jiaren, who had just been released from house arrest, back under house arrest again.
When Hai Jiaren received the news, she collapsed to the ground, muttering, "It's over, it's all over."
When Concubine Fang received the news early in the morning, she was shocked. She also served the prince, but Shen Lingshu was favored by the prince for seven days and was rewarded like a stream of water to enter the Youlan Courtyard!
How come I was confined to Hai Jiaren after just one night here?
"Madam Gui, have you found out what she did?"
Concubine Fang was really curious. Was it possible that Lady Hai's brain had been gnawed by a pig?
"Yindian said that Hai Jiaren filed a complaint and made the prince dislike her." When Nanny Gui heard the news, she was shocked. This was the first time that Hai Jiaren was confined to her house twice for the same thing.
"Oh."
Concubine Fang sneered. The late Princess Lin was killed by the means of these concubines. They even dared to tell these things to the prince. Hai Jiaren is really not afraid of death!
Youlan Courtyard.
Shen Lingshu, who had just stood up and was about to pay her respects, was speechless after hearing the news. She reminded: "Zhu Xin, everyone in the backyard, shut up and don't say a word that shouldn't be said."
After gaining favor, two more maids were added to the courtyard to do chores.
"Yes." Zhu Xin responded.
After paying her respects as usual, Shen Lingshu returned to the Orchid Courtyard and lived her own life behind closed doors. Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, so she was thinking of making some mooncakes.
On the first day of August, Concubine Fang was already waiting in the courtyard for Prince Lin to come over for dinner. Seeing the dark figure arrive as promised, Concubine Fang smiled and said, "Your Highness, you've arrived just in time for dinner."
On the table was a reheated dinner, which was just right.
Prince Lin sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and looked at the table full of exquisite dishes, but he had no appetite at all.
