Chapter 226: Follow the Rules
Concubine Feng's little plan failed to come true.
Moreover, she knew that after the prince left her, he did not return to the front study, but returned to the main courtyard.
He sighed: The prince has been back for a year, and he stays in the front study all day and sleeps there at night.
Now that they're married, they often go back to the backyard...the two of them are really annoying.
I felt uncomfortable mentally and physically, and I just lay there silently, feeling angry.
The first-class maids in the main courtyard, Hongyan and the others, were all Madam Zhao's people. She would not contact them. The second-class maids, two of whom were promoted by the mansion, did not take the initiative to show their favor.
Aunt Zhao is very smart in this regard.
If I do anything, she will definitely know!
The woman had just entered the mansion and he couldn't do anything right now, so he had to act carefully and cautiously and not rush anything.
But she still took the water from the third-class cleaning maid in the main courtyard and the old woman who was in charge of carrying and boiling water in a roundabout way.
So, in the evening, Mother Song received the news: "Oh, Madam, you don't know: After the prince returned, he and the princess stayed in the bedroom and sent all the maids out. Later... he actually asked for hot water!"
"This..." Concubine Feng felt dizzy and started coughing desperately.
Mother Song quickly patted her back and poured her some water.
She kept saying to Li, "It's broad daylight! She's actually forcing a man to do this! It's a good thing there's no mother-in-law at home, otherwise she would punish him to death!" That's right, when she first got married, her husband also pestered her like this.
As a result, the mother-in-law scolded her to death and even slapped her several times.
Thinking of this, she cursed indignantly and viciously: "How shameless! She looks like a little girl, but I didn't expect that she is actually a slut!"
She had an extremely unhappy marriage, so she couldn't stand seeing anyone doing well. There was no one in the mansion that she didn't scold.
Because her behavior was quite in line with Concubine Feng's thoughts, she would sometimes use her to show her gentleness and tolerance. So she usually ignored her, and if she really couldn't bear to listen, she would just scold her.
At this moment, she closed her eyes and listened to Mother Song's bad words, her heart filled with hatred.
Those two people just visited my patient, how could they still be in such mood when they go back?
That little bitch deserved to be scolded.
"It seems..." She interrupted Mother Song while panting: "My intuition is correct. The prince treats her differently from others."
"But why is this happening? Your Majesty, we can't just let it go like this, can we? We have to find a solution." Originally, Mother Song had advised Concubine Feng to be patient, but today, she also felt that the princess was having too easy a time.
If this continues, what will I do if I give birth to a legitimate son and ask for the power of stewardship?
In the past two years, she has been with Concubine Feng and has received many benefits. When her daughter got married, the dowry was very generous. Now she can still be subsidized. If she loses the power of housekeeper, she will not get it!
"We have to think of a way... Is the medicine ready?" asked Concubine Feng. The more this was the case, the more she couldn't lose her power as the housekeeper.
Sure enough, the next morning, Concubine Feng's illness was cured.
As for the prince, he got up early in the morning to practice boxing, came back to wash up, and went straight to the front without even having breakfast. It seems that this year is over.
Mo Yi also calmed down and planned to tidy up the things in the study today.
After breakfast, Mo Yuan pulled Zhou Jiu, and Zhou Jiu brought Li Xiangling over.
Concubine Tian was probably being watched as well. Not long after Mo Yuan and the others came in, she came over with Qianqian, "I just went to see Sister Feng. She's much better."
Mo Yi had sent someone to ask in the morning, and nodded when he heard it. "They said that after taking the medicine, he sweated and felt better."
"Madam, are you preparing to pack up and get to work?"
"Yes, this empty wall will be made into a shelf in a few days. Things can be hung on it so that they can be clearly seen."
"That's after the 15th, the craftsmen haven't started working yet..." Concubine Tian was quite disciplined, and she wouldn't touch anything that Mo Yi didn't show her. She just sat there drinking tea and talking.
Mo Yi was willing to talk to her about opening a shop. Concubine Tian was not shy about telling her anything.
Moreover, she liked jewelry and was willing to spend money on it. Her family had a wide range of business channels, so she always had some new and exotic things. Once the two of them started talking, they could talk endlessly.
Zhou Jiu brought Xiangxiang with him, listened to their conversation, and even took a pen and paper to draw beside them.
Mo Yuan didn't care about privacy and slowly rummaged through the things in the bag: I really like every piece. Oh, this one is great. Which skirt of mine can it match?
She kept thinking about it. With a stranger around, she couldn't ask for it no matter how much she liked him.
Now, she dared not take it casually. This reminded her of the past when she bullied Mo Yi and watched Mo Yi snickering... Alas, she was broad-minded and did not care about herself... If she were in their shoes, she might not be able to do it!
At noon, the prince sent someone to say that he was having lunch with his staff upstairs and would not come in.
Mo Yi asked someone to bring everyone's food to her place so that they could eat together.
Concubine Tian and Qianqian were the happiest. This mother and daughter pair loved the fun.
Li Xiangling and Mo Yi were still the same, not too close, but not quarreling either.
…
In the afternoon, Song Jiafu and Song Jiaxing arrived. When they were welcomed in by Xiangye, they were both dizzy. They couldn't close their mouths. Who would have thought that their daughter could become the mistress of this house?
People say: The prime minister is a seventh-rank official. The two brothers looked at each other and thought that they were also rising with the tide. They could imagine how good the future would be, and they were full of pride for a while.
Moe met them in the living room.
The two foolish boys came up and kowtowed, "Greetings, Madam Queen, kowtow to Madam Queen!"
Mo Yi felt funny, "Get up and talk."
Song Jiafu was so happy that his dimples deepened. He suppressed his occupational illness and did not praise the Empress endlessly...
Mo Ruhai has already returned the indentures of the Song family. With Mo Yi around, they can be suppressed without indentures. If they are released, they can get married and do things decently. It can also benefit their children.
But the old couple of the Song family only took the birth deeds of their children and grandchildren, and they still stubbornly followed Mo Ruhai.
"My queen, Jiafu and my brother went to South City today, and the Ji sisters started working on the third day of the new year."
"Oh? I guess you had a happy New Year."
"Isn't it? Everyone is wearing new clothes, and every family has chicken, duck, fish and meat for the New Year. Please look, Your Majesty... these are the statistical numbers." Song Jiafu handed over a piece of paper.
"In the next two days, my brother and I will move the goods to Qizhen Building first, and wait until Aunt Yun is ready to inspect them."
Mo Yi looked at the record and said, "Well, when you pull the goods, you have to check the number."
"Don't worry, Madam. We are following the rules. The Ji family, the South Courtyard, and we all have a list."
"What are these?" Mo Yi looked at the things in Song Jiafu's cowhide bag.
"These were made by Aunt Yun. She said that she saw that the queen had made a lot of things, so she followed her ideas and made a few for you to take a look. If it works, she will let the Ji family start making them."
Mo Yi took it and flipped through it carefully. "You know what, it's really interesting. But these two can be revised..." She picked up a pen, wrote down her revision ideas, put them in her bag, and handed them to Song Jiafu. "Give it to the Ji sisters and ask them to revise it according to the above."
"There has been no progress in finding a buddy over the New Year, right?"
"I saw a few before the New Year, and the master chose a boy and a girl, both only twelve years old. They were pretty and had bright eyes. After asking them about it, the master said they were good, so he kept them. The master said that we have too many things to do now, so we can't be assistants to sell goods, but as long as we are smart and hardworking, we can always be useful."
"Well. Is your yard habitable?"
"It's okay now, but I'll be nervous again if it comes again." Song Jiafu said cautiously.
He and his brother each have their own room now and live very comfortably. He doesn't want to go back to the time when the two brothers had to share one bed.
Suddenly, Mo Yi remembered something, "Is there any news from your eldest brother?"
Song Jiafu was a little worried. "A letter came before the New Year saying that our family was better off with your name. But the situation is still going on. My eldest brother is worried that even if no one forces us to sell the land, if other people's land surrounds our house, we will probably be ruined.
The master meant that we should just bear with it for now. Anyway, the family situation has improved a lot, and we can basically hold on. As for the other side, we will deal with it after we figure it out. We will not sell the inheritance left by our ancestors unless we have no other choice."
Mo Yi nodded. When it's convenient, she will talk to the prince about this matter...
Thank you all for your votes.
One sixth of the year is almost over!
