Yu's praise, but Yun Qianmeng casually picked two people and became her favorite?
For a moment, Yun Yiyi felt a surge of dissatisfaction in her heart. She couldn't help but compare her own picks with Yun Qianmeng's. She felt that apart from their appearance, the two she had chosen were indeed not as reliable as the ones Yun Qianmeng had chosen. She thought about changing people, but just as she was about to speak, she heard Yun Qianmeng's faint voice...
"Auntie, you're being too kind! I'm not picky about people, I just choose those who are honest and loyal! However, I value the loyalty of my girls extremely much. I will never trade my people with others. Who knows what kind of evil intentions they might harbor in return? Auntie, don't you agree?"
Liu Hanyu naturally understood the meaning of Yun Qianmeng's words, and seeing Yun Yiyi's look as if everyone else was better than herself, she knew what Yun Yiyi was thinking!
However, after being blocked by Yun Qianmeng's words, Yun Yiyi, no matter how thick-skinned she was, could not open her mouth. She could only hold back her anger, force herself to stand up with a smile, and leave first under the pretext of going back to check on the two girls!
Yun Qianmeng asked the girl Ju Wu at the door to carefully help Yun Yiyi back, with a cold glint in her smiling eyes!
Seeing Yun Yiyi finally leave, Liu Hanyu took out two indentures from her sleeve and handed them to Yun Qianmeng. She smiled and said, "According to my lady's instructions last night, I paid special attention to Yingxia and Yuandong and kept their indentures separately. Please take a look, my lady!"
Yun Qianmeng took the two indentures from Mu Chun's hands, looked at them carefully, folded them, and asked Mu Chun to keep them. Then she said, "Thank you, Auntie! The money these two girls earn from selling their bodies will be deducted from my monthly salary! From now on, their monthly salary will also be paid separately from Qiluo Garden!"
Liu Hanyu's face was horrified when she heard this. She knew Yun Qianmeng was not going to make things difficult for her, but how could she, the head of this household, not even be able to handle such a small matter? She immediately said in panic, "Miss, please be polite. You are the master of this house. How can I ask you to use your own money to pay for the maids? I will ask the accountant to issue a new employment contract for the two maids. Please don't worry, Miss!"
Seeing that Liu Hanyu was so polite, Yun Qianmeng did not refuse. She nodded and smiled to express her feelings. Liu Hanyu was afraid that Yun Qianmeng would go back on her word, so she immediately went out to handle the matter!
"Miss, do you want to meet those two girls alone?" Seeing that there was finally no one else around, Mu Chun asked!
Yun Qianmeng shook her head, but still instructed, "Pay close attention to their behavior on a daily basis, and don't pay too much attention to them!"
For several days in a row, Yingxia and Yuandong behaved well. Even Aunt Mi, who was always very strict with her servants, couldn't help but praise them in front of Yun Qianmeng!
On this day, just after breakfast, Liu Hanyu rushed out of Qiluo Garden. Seeing Yun Qianmeng enjoying the cool air in the courtyard, Liu Hanyu quickly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Miss, someone from the palace is here!"
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng paused fanning herself slightly, then raised an eyebrow and asked calmly, "Oh? Who is it?"
"It's the personal eunuch of Concubine Rongxian in the palace. He's drinking tea in the reception hall right now and said that Concubine Rongxian wants the young lady to come into the palace for a chat!" Seeing Yun Qianmeng's calm demeanor, Liu Hanyu's anxious heart gradually calmed down! She was shocked when she first heard the news, thinking something serious had happened, even the palace concubines were dispatched. But seeing Yun Qianmeng's calm demeanor, Liu Hanyu finally realized that the Queen Mother was the young lady's aunt, so the young lady would not suffer any harm if she entered the palace. Only then did she calm down!
Yun Qianmeng was quite surprised when she heard this. Although she had met the empress dowager in the palace, Concubine Rongxian was not present at that time. She and this concubine were almost complete strangers, but she invited her into the palace at this time. What was her intention?
"Apart from drinking tea, didn't the father-in-law say anything else?" Yun Qianmeng walked back to the inner room and asked Mu Chun to pick out a suitable dress again, and then asked Liu Hanyu who followed in!
"Nothing else was said, but I saw that he seemed very anxious, so I hurried over to tell the young lady!"
"In that case, you ask Butler Zhao to calm the eunuch down first. I'll go see him after I'm done with the arrangements!" Yun Qianmeng put down the round fan in her hand, pointed at a light blue dress embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and nodded to Mu Chun. After Liu Hanyu left, she began to put it on again!
"Why didn't Miss ask Butler Zhao to inform the Prime Minister, so as to avoid..." Mu Chun did not say the rest of the words!
Yun Qianmeng, however, removed the pearl hairpin from her head and replied calmly, "The harem is where the women live. Even if we tell father, it will be like far-flung water cannot quench the nearby fire. We will just have to adapt to the situation as the situation warrants! If there's a chance, go to the Empress Dowager's palace and inform her!"
"Yes!" In less than a quarter of an hour, Yun Qianmeng arrived at the reception room. Seeing the white-faced, beardless eunuch, she immediately stepped forward to bow and said respectfully, "Yun Fu Qianmeng greets you, eunuch. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"
The eunuch's eyes flashed with admiration when he saw Yun Qianmeng. He saw that this daughter of the Prime Minister was indeed completely different from what the outside world had said. Her graceful and elegant manners were fascinating, and the calm and composed expression on her face made him, an old man in the palace, look at her with new eyes. He immediately put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and said with a smile, "Miss Yun, you are too polite! The Concubine Dowager is very eager to see you. Please, Miss Yun, your servant, come to the palace immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qianmeng bowed slightly, and the eunuch got on the palace carriage!
The bumpy ride almost made people sleepy, and the hot weather made people even more irritable. Mu Chun considerately took out the water bag that she had just remembered to bring with her, and poured a glass of iced sour plum soup that she had prepared in the morning for Yun Qianmeng, which did help relieve some of the heat. Yun Qianmeng saw that she was so busy that her hair was already wet with sweat, so she let her and Shui'er Bing'er drink a few glasses as well. They found joy in the midst of hardship, and time passed quickly!
When the carriage was about to enter the palace gate, a burst of rapid horse hooves sounded. Yun Qianmeng had just lifted a corner of the curtain, but she felt a strong wind blowing past her in an instant. The horse hooves sound had already surpassed her carriage from behind and rushed to the front. Yun Qianmeng's eyes only caught the dark purple robe of the rider... Just like last time, after about an hour of travel, Yun Qianmeng finally got off the sedan chair. She gave Shui'er and Bing'er a look when the eunuch turned around, and then she took Mu Chun and followed the eunuch to step into the exquisite and majestic Nine-Curve Corridor in the palace!
But just after they walked for a while, they saw a woman in light yellow palace dress standing by the corridor!
"Who is it?" Seeing someone approaching, the little palace maid beside the woman shouted sternly!
