Chapter 194: A Plan
The next day, after breakfast.
Today, the prince's concubines will begin their daily greetings.
Concubine Tian was the first to arrive as usual, with the little girl Qianqian by her side, "Good morning, Madam."
"Mother." Qianqian was dressed beautifully and looked very well behaved.
"...Please sit down." In fact, Mo Yi still felt a little uncomfortable. She was introverted, not very talkative, and even more unwilling to "set rules" for others.
I have to deal with them early in the morning every day, and even the things I want to do have to give way to this. It’s troublesome just thinking about it.
Three aunts came together.
After greeting and sitting down, Mo Yi asked, "Is Aunt Mei feeling better?"
"Thanks to your concern, Madam. I feel much better now."
Judging from her complexion, she still doesn't look very good.
She came to pay her respects on the first day, even though she was on sick leave, which shows that she is a person who sticks to rules.
I want to say a few more words: "After checking your pulse, Doctor Zhuang said that everything else is fine, but your spleen and stomach are very weak. Medical books say that the stomach meridian governs thinking. If you often stay indoors, you will be overthinking and worried. When the weather is fine, you might as well walk more in the garden and bask in the sun. Sweating and relaxing is good for your body."
"Yes." Aunt Mei only responded in a low voice and said nothing more.
Mo Yi didn't care whether she listened or not and just stopped talking.
Mo Yi had never heard Aunts Xu and Wu talk to each other. "As for the two aunts...if you have anything to say, you can also come to me."
Aunt Xu said softly, "Thank you for your concern. Your Majesty is kind and we are living a comfortable life. If there is anything you want us to do, just tell us."
Thinking of the handicrafts I received from them when we met, let alone, each of them has its own characteristics, if...
Mo Yi smiled, thinking that he was really crazy sometimes, "Okay."
Aunt Yun has a son, and she hopes to do her best for him so that she can have a purpose in her life.
Like these three people... they are like birds in a golden cage. Without children and things that you like to do, it is boring even if you have fine clothes and delicious food.
But we need to have a child... According to the rules, the prince has to stay in the queen's room for the first month after marriage... What will happen in the future?
When she thought about this...her heart felt heavy.
There was a voice at the door. Concubine Feng came with Shao Ge'er, followed by Princess Wenxiu.
Concubine Feng had an appropriate smile on her face: "Morning, Princess!"
"Mother!" Princess Wenxiu bowed gracefully.
"Morning. Take a seat."
Concubine Feng nodded to the people around her, then sat aside.
Mo Yi glanced at a few people, still feeling a little nervous. "From now on, on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, I will go to the palace to pay my respects. As for me, there are no special requirements when the prince is not here. It's good for the sisters to get together and talk. But if the weather is bad or you are not feeling well, it's okay if you can't come over.
I have a lot of things to do outside. There will be times when I am not here when you come, so don't be surprised. This is it for now, and we will see how it goes in the future...after you get used to it for a while."
"Yes." Everyone responded.
"Your Majesty is kind and gentle..."
Everyone agreed that such a princess was much better than the one who put on airs, had strict maids and sharp-tongued maids standing beside her, and who beat and punished people at every turn.
"Princess..." Only Concubine Feng seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Please speak, Concubine Feng."
"It's like this... Every morning, that's when I take care of household chores. Often I'll be busy for the whole morning... So..."
Everyone watched with bated breath.
Concubine Tian found it funny. The new official hasn't even started working yet, and you're still bargaining?
"Oh, Concubine Feng said that she is very busy and can't spare the time to come and pay her respects to me..." Mo Yi asked slowly.
"No!" Concubine Feng quickly denied, "Your Majesty, it's not like that. I was just worried that something important might happen and I missed the time to pay my respects. If you misunderstood, it's my fault."
"I won't misunderstand such a small matter. The situation you mentioned does exist. So...if you encounter an important matter, you can ask someone to tell them. If it's not important, you should talk to your sisters."
"Yes." Concubine Feng blushed, but she could only agree.
Mo Yi had already prepared for today's situation. There are still many things that I haven't figured out yet, so don't push them one by one.
Although the problem mentioned by Concubine Feng does exist...but, as the housekeeper, she should adjust it herself.
She is the concubine in the mansion. You can't ask me, the principal wife, to give way to her, right?
"I still have things to do. If Your Majesty has no instructions, I will take my leave first..." Concubine Feng forced a smile.
"Okay, go and do your work first." Mo Yi watched her leave as if nothing had happened.
"Xiangxiang, come here..." Mo Yi called Princess Wenxiu over. "Your father should be back today. As for what you said last time, let's wait for him to come back and ask him what he thinks before making a decision, okay?"
Li Xiangling was stunned for a moment, nodded silently and said nothing.
"There are a lot of interesting things in my study. If you are interested, you can stay and take a look..." Without waiting for her to answer, he turned to everyone and said, "I have nothing to do here. You can stay and talk if you want. If you have anything to do, go back first."
Concubine Tian smiled and said, "Is it convenient for me to look at the treasures in your study?"
"Of course it's convenient. Xiangxiang and Qianqian can play together."
As soon as Concubine Feng walked out of the door, her face fell. Mother Song did not dare to persuade her anymore. She just followed silently and said to him when they arrived at Changhui Pavilion: "Your Majesty, it's not okay. Wait until the prince comes back and talk to him. How can you leave this work halfway and run out to pay respects to her?"
"Tell him..." Concubine Feng sneered, "Don't underestimate this girl."
Mo Yi brought Concubine Tian and others into the study.
"Oh my God, so many things?" Concubine Tian was stunned.
"Yes, there are quite a few. I haven't found time to clean them up yet!"
"Let the girls do it."
"It's a bit hard to clean up now. We need someone to make a shelf, and some of it needs to be hung up..."
"Eh? Is this the purse I made for the princess and Qianqian?"
"Yeah. Almost. But they only made one for each of them. It's unique!" Mo Yi looked at the two little girls.
Qianqian seemed a bit outgoing. Concubine Tian picked up something... "Qianqian wants to see it too..."
And Li Xiangling just stood there silently.
"This is also a monkey. Xiangxiang, look, is yours better looking, or is this one better looking?" Mo Yi handed her one.
Li Xiangling took it over. It was a little black monkey, unlike his own yellow monkey, which also had a flower on its head. But the black monkey's mischievous look was also very cute.
"Madam, are you going to do this business?"
"Yes, does Concubine Tian have a shop outside?"
"I have shares in some shops, but I don't manage them. They are all grains, oils, and groceries. The advantage of having connections is that..."
"The prince said that when he was not at home, you helped to look after some of the business. I guess you are very capable..."
Concubine Tian was not modest either: "My uncles and cousins are all doing this. I have been exposed to it since I was a child, so I have more channels for information. I have never done anything myself. Seeing that you, the princess, can open a shop, I am quite jealous."
Mo Yi smiled, "It will open after the New Year. In the future, if you have any ideas to make money, you can tell me. The prince has his own business, and we have to do our own business."
Concubine Tian nodded happily: "Your Majesty and I think the same thing. Alas, I have entered the mansion and cannot go out often. The previous Princess Zhou..." Seeing that she had let the cat out of the bag, she smiled awkwardly.
"No problem, just tell me!"
"Your Highness is obviously a generous person. The former Princess Zhou spent her days reciting poems and writing couplets, and holding tea parties and flower appreciation parties... Even if I had ideas, I couldn't tell her. Fortunately, Your Highness married into our family! Later... I really need to think about what to do."
Mo Yi took the charcoal pencils and paper, found a few small patterns, and asked the two girls to draw them.
They talked for the whole morning and then went to the dining room to eat.
Concubine Feng's Changhui Pavilion was just opposite the dining room. When she heard what the little maid said, she stood up, lifted a corner of the door curtain and looked outside.
Qianqian was running in front, while Mo Yi and Concubine Tian were talking as they walked, and they looked back at Li Xiangling from time to time.
"Look! They...became friends so soon. Can it be a simple one?"
Mother Song also sneered: "I will tie myself up with Concubine Tian and compete with you!"
"From her appearance, she must be thin-skinned and indecisive. Aunt Zhao is not around...but she must have thought about her response beforehand.
Mother Song, you are right. I have to take a long-term view. There is no point in arguing over such a small matter. If I embarrass her and lose face for her, what good will it do me? My brother Shao will never be the legitimate son. If I want to be the eldest son, I have to be the eldest son!"
"You're right to think so. I was a little careless with Aunt Zhao before..."
The two men discussed in a low voice.
Thank you all for your rewards and votes.
I also have a little bug catcher, I will correct the mistakes when I have time these two days...
