Chapter 323 Concubine Pays Homage to the Mistress
The two women arrived at Fulu Hall before dawn.
Gu Huan was still having breakfast with her two babies. When she heard that they had arrived, she told them to wait in the outer hall.
Yin Tao was a little impatient and twirled her handkerchief: "You are so arrogant! How dare you not give His Majesty face! Are we ordinary concubines? We are the women awarded by His Majesty."
Evian sat and sipped his tea slowly without saying anything.
Yin Tao was furious when she saw her slow pace: "I really don't know how the Queen chose you? Aren't you in a hurry at all? We don't even have a chance to walk around the palace, so how can we get information?"
Yiyun's expression suddenly changed and she put the teacup down heavily.
He said in a low voice: "If you want to die, don't drag me!"
Yin Tao quickly glanced outside, but there was no one there.
She twisted her waist indignantly and sat down, picked up the tea and took a sip, frowning slightly: "What kind of shitty tea is this? It's just to please us."
Yiyun was helpless: "Just be quiet. There is only one mistress in Prince Yong's Mansion, the princess, and no other women. If you dare to despise the princess, I'm afraid you won't live long."
Yin Tao sighed, "We were given by the emperor, how dare she kill me? That Gu Huan is not from a high family, and she climbed into bed to get promoted, how much more noble is she than us?"
Yiyun was so angry that if she wasn't afraid that she would implicate herself, she really wouldn't want to bother with her and let her die.
But both of them were given by the Emperor, and it was obvious that the Prince did not want them and the palace did not welcome them. If they wanted to take root and do something for their master, they had to stay first.
If the princess caught this idiot and punished him, she would definitely not have a good ending.
She could only patiently persuade him, "This is the remote southern border. Prince Yong has independent jurisdiction. What if he kills us? Do you think His Majesty will turn against Prince Yong for women of our status?"
Yin Tao paused, rolled her eyes, and said nothing.
Seeing that she stopped chattering, Yiyun didn't want to pay any attention to her anymore.
Their conversation had already been heard by the people arranged by Gu Huan.
Half an hour later, Gu Huan walked in surrounded by a group of maids.
The two of them quickly stood up and saluted.
Yin Tao took a secret look at her, and her eyes jumped when she saw Gu Huan's appearance and voluptuous figure.
Although Gu Huan was wearing her usual dark blue jacket embroidered with silver cloud patterns, she also wore an eight-piece brocade skirt of the same color, the hem of which was inlaid with shell beads to form a string of flowers.
The whole person is low-key and luxurious.
Gu Huan nodded with a smile and sat down in the right seat. Although she had a gentle smile on her face, her eyes were firm.
The maids stood on either side, each with their backs straight and their aura imposing. They were totally unlike the maids in other wealthy families who had a humble look on their faces.
Under such pressure, the two men bent down involuntarily and lowered their heads slightly.
Yiyun took the lead and knelt down on both knees respectfully.
Yin Tao was not willing to be outdone and knelt down immediately. Before they could speak, Gu Huan spoke first.
She glanced at them calmly and said, "You two ladies want to see me? Could it be that the people in the palace are not treating me well enough?"
The two women's faces changed slightly when they heard this.
This means that they do not acknowledge that they are King Yong's women.
"Princess..."
Yin Tao started to cry: "I am a concubine given by His Majesty. Does Your Majesty want me to die by saying this?"
Yiyun looked sad, but she didn't cry. She choked a little and said, "Princess, although we are the concubines given by the emperor to Prince Yong, if you don't want us, we will obey your arrangement. We are willing to serve you as maids."
Yin Tao didn't like what she heard, and she immediately started crying, "Princess, I am willing to be a maid, but if His Majesty knew about it, he would definitely blame you for disobeying the imperial decree. If it gets out, outsiders won't know that it is Prince Yong who doesn't like me, but will say that you are jealous and can't tolerate your husband having other women. This will damage your reputation."
Holly and several maids rolled their eyes.
Yiyun ignored what she said and kowtowed solemnly: "This servant begs the princess to take me in as a slave."
Yin Tao was furious, but seeing that there was no expression on Gu Huan's face, she still wanted to struggle.
"My Lady Princess, now that I have come to Juzhou, I cannot go back. If My Lady Princess does not accept me as your concubine, I will be disobeying your order and will have no choice but to die."
Gu Huan spoke up: "Okay."
Yin Tao was stunned for a moment, then she was a little happy and burst into laughter: "Thank you, Princess, for your magnanimity. I have heard for a long time that you are virtuous and kind, and today I see that you are indeed so."
Gu Huan smiled and said, "Since you want to die, I can only grant your wish."
Yin Tao was stunned.
Yiyun, who was lying on the ground without looking up, froze.
Then she heard Gu Huan's gentle instructions: "Dongqing, go get the poisoned wine, white silk, and dagger, and let her choose one of them to die."
Dong Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, Princess."
After saying that, he quickly went out to get it.
Yin Tao was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly said, "We are the people given by the emperor. If we die here, you will be disobeying the emperor's order."
Gu Huan still spoke softly and gently, "The emperor knows that you committed suicide to apologize to the emperor because you did not please the prince of Yong. The emperor may even reward you. I pity you for coming from afar, and I will give you a grand funeral. If you have any family, I will also have someone send them a thousand gold coins."
Yin Tao was really frightened this time. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.
Yiyun's body trembled slightly, but she tried her best to kowtow properly and did not dare to look up.
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared.
Mu Junyan frowned: "Why is this?"
Mu Junyan ate the grapes she peeled that night, so it’s not that he didn’t accept her, he was just too busy.
Yin Tao seemed to have found a life-saving straw. She crawled over crying and grabbed the corner of his robe.
"My Lord, please save me, the princess is forcing me to commit suicide."
Yiyun could hardly kneel anymore, and her body swayed and fell to one side.
Mu Junyan stretched out his legs to support her body. Yiyun looked up hesitantly, tears in her eyes, looking miserable.
Mu Junyan said calmly, "Princess, you want them to commit suicide? They were given to us by the Emperor."
Gu Huan's face changed and she stood up: "Prince, do you want to take them in? Have you forgotten that you said you would only marry me? Are you going to take in someone new so soon?"
"Ridiculous. You see, which prince or noble doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Can't I have a woman other than you?"
Dongqing walked in with a glass of wine, a dagger and a white silk. When he heard these words, his eyes widened immediately.
The other maids didn't dare to speak and looked at Dongqing nervously.
Dong Qing hurried into the house, put down the things, and bowed to Mu Junyan: "Your Majesty, it's not the princess who wants them to die, they are the ones who are crying, making a fuss, and hanging themselves here."
Mu Junyan glanced at her coldly: "Is it your turn to speak?"
Dongqing couldn't believe that this was Mu Junyan. Could it be that he was possessed by something?
Gu Huan was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Okay, okay, you want them, right? Then take them away!"
Mu Junyan saw that her face was pale and she looked uneasy.
Gu Huan turned around abruptly, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and sobbed, "Go away! I don't want to see these two vixens!"
Mu Junyan clenched his fists and ordered in a cold voice: "Come here, take them back and serve them well."
A maid came in from outside the door, helped the two of them up and sent them away.
Mu Junyan also left quickly.
Dong Qing hurried to comfort Gu Huan, but saw her slowly put the handkerchief away and turned around, without a single tear on her face.
It turns out he was just pretending.
But, the master hasn’t seen the princess for two months. The tone of his voice just now...wouldn’t the princess be angry?
Gu Huan said calmly, "It's time for the old lady to come over."
When they entered the children's room, the old lady had already come. The two children each held one of their legs and listened to the old lady telling stories about the war.
The old lady saw her come in and looked at her expression.
"Two women handled it?"
Gu Huan smiled and sat down beside her: "It's not that easy."
The old lady smiled and said, "I believe you."
Gu Huan also smiled sweetly at her.
After a while, a maid came to report that the master had rewarded the two concubines with many good things.
After a while, Chen Li came and brought a bowl of pregnancy-maintaining medicine.
Gu Huan drank it obediently.
No matter what happens, she must first ensure that she gives birth to the baby in her belly and adjusts her body.
Only in this way can we cope with the ever-changing situation.
Gu Huan woke up from her lunch break and heard loud laughter outside.
Looking out through the wooden window, Mu Junyan was playing snowball fights and making snowmen with two children.
In order to take care of the children's height, the tall and burly man sat in the snow. His hands were frozen red together with the two children, and he laughed like a big child.
Gu Huan laughed until tears started to fall.
Dongqing and the others were standing by and didn't dare to say anything.
Gu Huan said softly, "Let's go to the kitchen and make snacks for the children."
