Cuizhu hissed, "It hurts."
Xin Guoguo chuckled, "Yeah. It does hurt. Okay, I've seen enough of today's show. Remember to give me a tip later. Ask a doctor to take a look. It's so cold, it's really pitiful. Let's go home."
A group of palace maids suppressed their laughter: "Yes."
Cuizhu took a step back and pulled out a purse from her sleeve that her master usually used to give rewards, and handed it over:
"The young lady sings and dances beautifully. This is a reward from the Empress Dowager."
Zhou Wan: ???
I was completely dumbfounded.
What does it mean?
Does the Queen Mother think she is a singer or a dancer?!
The maid beside her saw her face filled with shock, but she didn't move. She quickly knelt down, crawled over, and raised her hands above her head:
"Our daughter has sprained her ankle and is not feeling well. I would like to thank the Empress Dowager for her gift on her behalf."
Cuizhu smiled: "Yeah."
She placed the purse in the maid's hand and said, "Her Majesty has asked the imperial physician to examine the young lady. This will prevent her from developing a chronic illness."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
The maid kowtowed respectfully again.
Cuizhu looked at the dumbfounded lady, then looked at the obedient maid, a hint of interest flashed across her eyes, and she turned and left.
Quickly catch up with the Queen Mother's carriage.
So he told Xin Guoguo about this.
Xin Guoguo just smiled lightly: "Don't pay attention to it."
"Yes."
Although the Queen Mother told her not to pay attention to it, Cuizhu still heard about the follow-up of the incident from the young palace maid.
The girl's name was Zhou Wan, and she was the Queen's niece.
This time he entered the palace under the pretext of accompanying the queen.
The actual purpose can be imagined.
The purpose of this performance in front of the Queen Mother is also very obvious.
She was unwilling to marry the emperor.
Naturally, she didn't want to be a concubine.
After being advised by others, he decided to follow the path of the Empress Dowager in order to have a good ending.
Of course, this good destination is for the princes.
When Cuizhu heard this, she was stunned:
"She looks about fifteen, right? How can she still be so naive?"
Based on her performance that day, there was no way the Empress Dowager would allow her to be the prince's principal wife.
In other words, any family with a certain status would not allow such a person to be the legal wife.
The requirements for a legal wife are that she should be dignified and virtuous.
She was dressed coolly that day, and charmed people with her singing and dancing, acting like a foxy woman.
What decent family would dare to let such a person be their legal wife?!
Cuizhu curled her lips in disgust, feeling that this sequel was a bit off-putting.
The young palace maid quietly approached her and said, "Aunt, what you said is exactly the truth! That girl was originally the concubine's daughter. Master Zhou requested that she be registered as the principal wife."
"So, isn't this the Empress's biological niece?"
The little palace maid shook her head, looking mysterious.
Cuizhu was even more disgusted: "No wonder!"
The Queen Mother didn't even send anyone to stop this behavior, which shows that she really doesn't like it!
Cuizhu ate a belly full of melon.
When Xin Guoguo woke up, he shared the melon with her.
Xin Guoguo: ...
"So how is the girl now?"
She didn't care about the follow-up at first.
But eating only half of the melon is not her style.
Cuizhu offered her a cup of tea. "The Empress also knew about what happened in the Imperial Garden that day and sent her back. She said there were problems with her upbringing and even sent two old maids."
Xin Guoguo raised her eyebrows. "The Queen is even treating her own sister like that... No, since the Zhou family requested this registration, I'm afraid that Zhou Tongshi won't be able to stand up. Haha, the Queen is trying to pressure the Zhou family!"
Cuizhu also nodded. "I heard that the Zhou family has been in a big commotion these past two days. Minister Zhou has been ill for two days. It seems that the reason Madam Zhou has been childless for all these years is because of that concubine."
Xin Guoguo sneered when she heard this.
It's been so many years, and you only discovered it now?
I'm afraid the Zhou family's actions this time angered the Queen, which caused the commotion.
As for the fact that Zhou Tong had no children, even if it wasn't caused by that concubine, the Queen would definitely make it happen this time.
However, she did not continue the topic and asked:
"Does Fourteen have enough winter clothes? The New Year is coming soon. Have you prepared new clothes for him?"
Cuizhu heard her change the subject and stopped talking about the Zhou family. She replied:
"My lord, everything is ready. The Imperial Household Department sent a lot of fabric for the Fourteenth Prince to choose from, and he selected a few pieces. Several other princes happened to be there that day, and someone suggested that they each make a suit of clothing from the same fabric."
When Xin Guoguo heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it done?"
Brothers outfit!
Tsk!
Want to see.
Think of a dozen children, big and small, who look alike and wear the same clothes.
Xin Guoguo couldn't wait any longer.
That feeling is probably like seeing all ages of this little baby appear in front of you at the same time!
Cuizhu didn't understand why her master was so excited, but she was also a little curious about the scene of several princes wearing the same clothes:
"Master, it's not ready yet. It will probably take another day or two."
He knew that his master loved all the princes equally, especially the Fourteenth Prince who was now being raised by his side.
Cuizhu would ask this question from time to time.
Xin Guoguo nodded: "Wait until the washing is done over there, call the princes over and I'll see the results."
"Yes."
Here, Xin Guoguo asked about the learning progress of several princes.
