Chapter 348 Tea
When Yin Tao woke up, she looked around in confusion. Where was she?
"Auntie is awake."
A maid walked in with a cold face.
"Aunt?"
Yin Tao looked confused, and suddenly her eyes widened, "You call me aunt?"
The maid had a pretentious expression on her face: "Yes, congratulations on your promotion to aunt. Of course, you are just a concubine."
Yin Tao was confused, a humble concubine?
Is she a concubine?
"Auntie, you should get up and serve tea to the princess."
Yin Tao finally believed it and was immediately overjoyed. Did the prince benefit from her yesterday?
But she doesn't feel anything?
She was not sure whether she succeeded or not. She remembered entering the house and serving tea and fruit to the prince. Before the prince could eat, she smelled a very strong fragrance, which was very uncomfortable. After a while, she felt dizzy and soon became confused.
But if not, why would she be mentioned as a concubine?
Urged by the maid, Yin Tao quickly got up, washed, changed into her best dress, and rushed to the main courtyard to serve tea to the princess.
Gu Huan's eyes were red and she looked haggard. She looked at her coldly.
The look on her face shows that she must have known that the prince had slept with her.
Yin Tao finally felt relieved and was secretly delighted.
She pretended to be terrified and knelt down hurriedly: "This servant greets Her Majesty, Princess. This servant offers tea to Her Majesty, and I thank Her Majesty for being so magnanimous and accommodating to me."
Gu Huan said hoarsely, "It's not that I'm magnanimous. It was my mother who recommended you to be my aunt. You don't have to thank me. Since you are the prince's person, you should serve him well in the future."
It turned out that it was the old lady who proposed it. No wonder, how could the princess, who is always jealous, recommend a concubine to her without making a fuss?
Yin Tao said respectfully: "Yes, I will do my best to serve you, my Lord."
Sui'er handed her the teacup, and Yin Tao held it with both hands and handed it to Gu Huan.
Gu Huan did not make things difficult for her. She took the cup, took a sip perfunctorily, and then handed it to Sui'er.
Sui'er handed Yin Tao a red envelope.
"Go down."
"Yes." Yin Tao hunched over and retreated.
As soon as he went out, he straightened his back and raised his head proudly: "I'm going to pay a visit to the old lady."
The maid who brought her here said expressionlessly: "The old lady said that Auntie only needs to pay respects to the princess. The old lady doesn't have time to see you."
Yin Tao became furious: "You!"
The maid bowed her head slightly and said: "My name is Dong Cui, and from now on I will serve you, Aunt."
Yin Tao half-closed her eyes and looked at her: "Dong Cui? She is of the same generation as Dong Hua and Dong Qing. She should be a first-class maid, right?"
Dong Cui: "I was originally a servant of the old lady."
Yin Tao's expression immediately brightened when she heard this: "So it was sent by the old lady. Then I will really go and thank the old lady."
As he said this, he was about to walk towards the old lady's yard.
Dong Cui stretched out her hand to stop her: "Auntie, please go back."
Yin Tao smiled and pushed her hand away: "I just served the prince yesterday, so it is only right for me to pay my respects to my mother..."
But... I couldn't push Dong Cui's arm.
Yin Tao's face looked a little ugly, but Dong Cui did not give in at all, with a look of respect that could not be more fake.
"Get out of the way, I'm your master!"
Dong Cui said coldly: "My master is the old lady. If you don't listen to my advice, I can carry you away."
Yin Tao laughed angrily: "You're going to carry me away?"
Unexpectedly, Dong Cui, without saying a word, threw Yin Tao over with a swing of her arms, grabbed her waist and threw her onto her shoulders, and actually carried her away.
Yin Tao's waist was almost broken and she cried out in pain.
"Put me down, you slut! Put me down now, I'm going to tell the prince to sell you out!"
But no matter how she danced and struggled, she couldn't break free.
"Your Highness cannot sell me. My indenture is in the hands of the old lady."
Dong Cui even shook her twice on purpose, causing Yin Tao to almost vomit.
Only after carrying the man out of the main courtyard and into the garden did Dong Cui feel that the man would not disturb the princess anymore, so she threw him onto the grass.
Even though it was grass, if a person of this size fell from a height, his internal organs would be displaced.
Yin Tao screamed and cried with snot and tears running down her face, unable to even get up.
Dong Cui stood in front of her, leaned over and asked expressionlessly: "Auntie, do you want to go by yourself, or do you want me to continue carrying it?"
Yin Tao was so scared: "Go by yourself!"
If she were to be carried by her again, or if she deliberately threw her on a rock, her life would be over.
The slave girl deliberately harmed her!
The servants around looked at them as if they were laughing at a joke, and some even talked about them openly.
"This bitch actually dared to climb into the bed and tarnished the reputation of our prince. She deserves to die."
"Yes, he should be beaten to death."
"If you dare to bully the princess, you will suffer the consequences in the future."
Yin Tao was so angry that she couldn't even get up.
I had no choice but to hold my breath and yell to Dong Cui, "Help me up."
Dong Cui raised her eyebrows: "Can you walk after I help you up? How about I carry you back?"
"No!" Yin Tao refused.
She understood that this damned girl hated her because of Gu Huan, and might even dare to carry her and throw her into the well.
She gritted her teeth and struggled to get up little by little.
Dong Cui just watched.
When Yin Tao finally moved back to her own courtyard, she saw Yiyun was already waiting for her there.
She quickly tried to stand up straight, steady her steps and walked inside.
Yiyun smiled and walked up to her and bowed, "Congratulations, sister, on becoming an aunt."
Yin Tao gritted her teeth and smiled: "Thank you."
But her feet hurt, as if her knees had hit a rock when she fell to the ground just now.
Now every step I take is excruciatingly painful.
She could only grit her teeth and keep her face natural.
Yiyun had already noticed that something was wrong with her. She glanced at the maid following behind Yin Tao and saw that she had no intention of helping her.
She quickly supported Yin Tao and asked with concern, "What's wrong with sister?"
Yin Tao wanted to shake her off, but she couldn't move, so she had to rely on her strength and move towards the house step by step.
She tried to smile shyly and lowered her voice: "The prince was so awesome last night."
Bang.
The two were startled and looked back, and saw Dong Cui crushed a wooden chair.
Yin Tao froze: "..."
He couldn't help but shrink his neck and dared not say anything.
Evian: “…”
She felt like laughing.
Yiyun pretended not to know and helped her into the house. Seeing that Dong Cui had no intention of coming in to serve her, she poured Yin Tao a cup of cold tea.
Yin Tao felt an inexplicable sense of sadness in her heart, and her eyes turned red as she held the teacup.
Yiyun seemed not to notice and smiled, "Congratulations, sister, for getting what you wished for. You are amazing, you were promoted to concubine in just one night. If the queen knew about this, she would definitely praise you."
After hearing this, Yin Tao's sadness disappeared.
"We are all here to fulfill the Queen's orders. There is nothing to congratulate."
She looked at Yiyun, "Has the shopkeeper contacted you?"
Yiyun nodded: "Someone just happened to come in last night, but unfortunately my sister was serving the prince, so she didn't meet him."
Yin Tao was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.
She held back and said, "Then spread the news as soon as possible. The prince seemed to have quarreled with the princess yesterday, and the prince is staying in the study. It's a good opportunity. I will find a way to get close to the prince again."
"OK."
Yiyun smiled, too lazy to deal with her, and stood up to say goodbye.
Watching her leave, Yin Tao looked outside, but Dong Cui was nowhere to be seen, and her nose felt sore.
She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
She felt a burst of pain in her feet. She put down her teacup and lifted her skirt, only to find that her knees were bruised. But she had no medicine and there was no maid in the yard.
The Dong Cui just now must have disliked her, and she was a first-class maid beside the old lady, so she couldn't order her around at all.
Yin Tao couldn't help but lay on the bed and cried.
