Chapter 210: Secret Chess Game
Concubine Feng returned to Changhui Pavilion with a gloomy face.
The palace is an inn?
Anyone can stay here if they want?!
Does Mo Yi know the word "rules"?
That bitch from the Zhou family... at least she said something in advance, and at least she was here under the pretext of accompanying Li Xiangling.
But what about Mo Yuan?
You have parents and a home, but you go to live with your newly married sister?
How can this be possible in the world?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, but she kept a cold face and said nothing. She brought the tea to her lips, but threw it away with a bang. The fine teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces...
"You're going to burn me to death!" she uttered in a rare shrill voice.
The maid who had just served tea quickly knelt down, trembling, "It is my fault, please forgive me, Madam..."
"You guys are so careless in doing things just to take advantage of my good temper? Open your dog eyes and look at who you are! Drag her out... and slap her ten times!" She was scolding the little girl on the surface, but in her heart she was scolding the Mo family girl.
"My queen, please forgive me..." The little girl was frightened to death by the unexpected disaster.
Mother Song had a ferocious look on her face. Without waiting for Concubine Feng to say anything, she grabbed the little girl, dragged her into the yard, and started beating her.
The little girl didn't dare to shout loudly, she just sobbed and was beaten.
Concubine Feng glanced at the obedient maid Chunfen next to her and said, "What's the matter? You don't even want to clean up the floor? You have to be beaten before you know what to do."
Chunfen was a first-class maid beside her, smart and capable, and had a lot of face in the mansion. When she was scolded by Concubine Feng, her face turned red and she dared not say much. She quickly squatted down and picked up the broken pieces.
After beating the man, Mother Song returned to the house refreshed.
She was nearly beaten to death several times when she was in her husband's family, which caused her mental distortion. She had been doing rough labor for many years, so she was very strong and very cruel.
On weekdays, Concubine Feng rarely lost her temper and rarely punished servants. If someone did something wrong, she would just say a few words and fine them a little. If someone made a serious mistake, she would sell him or send him to the farm.
She always appears gentle, kind, and generous, and never hits anyone.
But Mother Song really likes to beat people. If someone offends her, even if it's not a big deal, she will find a reason to beat them herself.
Because Concubine Feng trusted her and treated her leniently, no one else dared to say much.
"No wonder you don't give them face..." Mother Song rolled her eyes and said, "I just got married and haven't even settled down yet, but you let your sister from your natal family come to live with you. How can this be considered as an excuse? If others knew about this, they would laugh at the palace for having no rules. Why did the prince choose such a person..."
Then, he began to persuade Concubine Feng, "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed annoying, but you should also think positively. You see, the prince knows about it, but he doesn't say anything. It would be pointless for us to make a fuss."
This made Concubine Feng even angrier.
Changhui Pavilion was her territory, so she had no scruples. "Just now, did you see the look in that bitch's eyes from the Mo family? Am I just an object for her to look at? If we saw her outside, she would have to kneel down and kowtow to me! What the hell?!"
"You're right!" Mother Song said sarcastically, "After all, she comes from a humble family. Look at her shameless look... It's a pity that Mrs. Zhao is not here, otherwise you would ask her: Is this how you taught the princess the rules?"
"I'm so angry..." Concubine Feng shuddered as she thought about the whole thing.
"Your Highness...it's not the right time to say that word during the New Year." Mother Song quickly advised, "Don't let her lead you astray. She is disorganized and easily makes mistakes. Your Highness, that's not a good character! Let's wait...we need to guide her when we have a chance. When she is disliked by Your Highness...how can you deal with her?"
After hearing this, Concubine Feng sighed, "I don't know what's going on, I just feel really bad. In the past, Zhou Li was better than her in every way. But I've never felt this uneasy..."
"That's because: our Shao brother has grown up, and you think too much about him. Worrying too much will lead to confusion..." Mother Song comforted him softly. There was one more thing she didn't say: When Zhou Li was in power, Concubine Feng had not yet completely taken control of the palace, so she kept a low profile.
It’s not like the past two years...she has been the mistress of the palace and the de facto princess.
She also gave birth to the prince's eldest son.
Now, suddenly a queen pops up, no one can handle it!
"Your Highness, you are too excited now. People sometimes lose their sense of propriety when they are excited. You have made a lot of preparations. Even the maidservant beside the princess has been brought here. This hidden chess piece... can turn the situation around at the critical moment!"
Concubine Feng nodded, "It's still a little short of the right time. We need to let that girl get deeper into this trap before it can be used. Besides, I won't make this move unless I have no other choice. Princess, you are very useful."
"You are the most thoughtful, Madam! Besides, I have already started making all the preparations I can think of. I will never catch you when I need you..."
Mother Song had a grim smile on her face.
Back then, she miscarried her first child after marriage, a boy. But she was so stupid at the time that she didn't understand anything. And the same thing happened with her second child...
The experience taught us a lesson. The third baby was saved, but it was a daughter.
Then I realized that before she even entered the house, her widow sister-in-law who had given birth to a son was already ready!
As the saying goes, every bite makes you wiser.
I have learned these dirty tricks. However, it is useless in my husband's family. If I can't give birth to a son, my mother-in-law and husband will only punish me. I have nowhere to turn to. I want to buy a pack of poison to kill the widow's son, but I don't have a penny in my pocket!
Later, she entered the palace and had power, connections, and money.
If Concubine Feng is willing to listen to me, what can't I do?
She thought of her husband's family who had died tragically, and her daughter who had married the steward of the palace and was dressed in silk and satin.
She smiled. If she could really help Concubine Feng to become a princess, my grandson would definitely be able to become an official!
"Well, you're right. What have you prepared?" Concubine Feng was persuaded again.
Mother Song leaned close to her ear with a vicious look on her face and whispered...
Mo Yuan looks delicate, but she is a jokester and very humorous.
Concubine Tian was so amused that she fell backwards.
Even the two concubines and Miss Zhou Jiu, who usually didn't talk much, covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and curled their eyes.
Li Xiangling has complicated feelings towards Mo Yi. She is not the stepmother in the legend...
But sometimes, just when Juan'er feels a little fond of her stepmother's actions or words, she can analyze the malice in them... and she becomes confused.
Although I am young, I know that filial piety is the most important thing, so it is not easy to find someone to ask such questions.
It's time to go eat. Mo Yuan pulled Mo Yi and looked around all the way, "...This is your home, just like what is described in the book. How can people living here have any troubles? Hey, you like to tend to flowers and plants, you must be happy to see such a big garden, right?
The prince's courtyard, the lotus lake we visited, and the Liu family garden we visited a few days ago, each garden is very beautiful. The one in your house is also beautiful, and you can tell at a glance that it cost a lot of money. But..."
Mo Yuan looked around and said, "Except that it's big and clean, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly amazing about it..." She spoke casually, not knowing how angry Concubine Feng would be if she heard this!
"With your ability, as long as you put your heart into it, you will definitely create a garden that is famous in the capital!"
"I haven't really thought about what you said...Jiu Niang..." After hearing this, Mo Yi also got some inspiration and turned around to call Zhou Jiu.
"Empress, you called me?" Zhou Jiu and Xiang Xiang walked hand in hand to the end.
"I see that the Zhou family's garden looks like a southern garden. Although it's not big, it's very exquisite. Did they hire someone to take care of it?"
"My family is originally from Suzhou, and my grandfather loved Suzhou gardens the most. When they were being renovated, we specially invited a master from my hometown. The one who is in charge of taking care of it now is also from there."
"No wonder..." Mo Yi looked around: There will be a lot of flowers in spring.
If we look at it from the perspective of the past, this would feel like a fairyland.
But after people’s eyes are opened, they look at things differently.
However, if you want to make any moves, you have to wait until you become the head of the family, right?
I didn't sleep well again. My hair is heavy. I guess I will only write one chapter today.
