Chapter 170: Selfish Desire to Meet Grandfather
"Opportunity?" Xie Yao paused holding the handkerchief and asked back.
There are not only three servants in Fuguangyuan: Madam Qi, Tangxin and Rendong. Changsi is in charge of accounting. In addition to the four of them, there are three maids from the palace and three maids brought to the palace by the Xu family as a dowry for her.
Xiaoyun was originally a maid in the palace.
"The prince used to stay in Liuxiayuan. Since he lives with you now, you should consummate the marriage as soon as possible. If you get pregnant, our Fuguangyuan will have hope." She said with a twinkle in her eyes.
Xie Yao understood that the people of Fuguangyuan would prosper and suffer together with her.
She and Xiao Yizi lived together, and they didn't call for water for four consecutive nights. The maids knew that they had not consummated their marriage, so Xiaoyun said that.
Xie Yao looked at Tang Xin: "My private affairs with the prince actually make you more anxious than me."
Tang Xin immediately raised her eyebrows: "Kneel down!"
Xiaoyun: "Tangxin, you and I are both slaves, what right do you have to order——"
“Bang!”
Tang Xin slapped her across the face, knocking her down. She said harshly, "You've been making up stories in front of the princess this morning. When did it become your turn to make irresponsible comments about the master's affairs? Why don't you admit your mistake?"
Xiaoyun looked up and saw the princess holding a sharp silver-white long knife, staring at her sinisterly, with a hint of bloodthirsty murderous intent on the corner of her lips...
It's just as scary as the prince!
No, the prince is not interested in women. In fact, they just look scary. He usually keeps a distance from these maids, but he is very close to the princess.
It should be said that the princess is the one with a twisted mind after being forced to marry the prince!
After all, what kind of lady from a wealthy family would hold a big sword all day long and practice sword fighting every morning?
"I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please spare my life, Princess."
Xiaoyun gritted her teeth, raised her hand, and slapped herself twice, and her cheeks immediately became red and swollen.
Tang Xin also knelt down: "Princess, please rest assured that no one in the Fuguang Courtyard would dare to make any irresponsible remarks about your private affairs with the prince."
Xie Yao said, "Get up. I'm talking about her, not you."
After Tang Xin was relieved, Xiaoyun didn't care about it anymore.
Although Fuguangyuan had established its authority with the prince, and Nanny Qi and Tangxin were both appointed by Old Madam Xiao, it could do things safely, but there were still some dirty tricks.
Only by casting a long line can you catch a big fish.
Tang Xin is good at dressing up women, and she knows when to advance and when to retreat, and has a careful personality.
Xie Yao wanted to train her, so after thinking about it, she called her into the house and asked her to secretly keep an eye on Xiaoyun and other people in the yard to see who was still secretly talking about her and the prince.
Tang Xin obeyed the order and left.
As for Honeysuckle, they had been together for many years, and she was more like a sister than a master and servant.
Although Rendong's medical skills are not at the level of a miracle doctor, she is the daughter of the former imperial physician Lin, who was a master of medicine. Even at such a young age, she is not inferior to the ordinary imperial physicians in Shang Pharmacy. If she were to work outside, she could definitely be a doctor in a clinic.
Xie Yao doesn't want to be a maid all her life. If given the chance, she deserves a wider world.
Moreover, Xie Yao remembered the glaring scar on the prince's leg that she saw last night.
A trace of selfishness arose in her heart.
She was not sure whether King Jingbei's leg was cured in his previous life.
If he is cured in the next two years, she naturally doesn't need to do much, just let nature take its course. She and Prince Jingbei are not familiar enough to send someone to greet him, and the prince is certainly not short of doctors.
If the disease couldn't be cured, she would ask Rendong to improve her medical skills - she wanted to try and see if she could help Xiao Yizi.
At this time, Madam Qi came to report that the Jingzhao Yin had sent someone to deliver a box of peach blossom cakes made by his wife for the prince and princess to taste.
Xie Yao and Aunt Qi went to the front yard together. Xiaoyun got up from the ground, covered her face with her hands, and walked along the wall crying. Before she knew it, she had walked to the outside of the third courtyard.
"Isn't this Xiaoyun? Ouch, what happened to your face? Who bullied you? It's really heartbreaking."
Qi'er, who was beside Mrs. Zhou from the third room, passed by with something in her hand and asked with concern.
Xiaoyun felt very aggrieved and started to cry even more after hearing what she said.
Behind them, Tang Xin hid in the dark, watching everything.
In the front yard, after Xie Yao and the prince finished their breakfast together, they tasted the peach blossom pastry made by the wife of the Jingzhao Yin.
The prince doesn't like things that are too sweet. Xie Yao discovered this when she fed him osmanthus glutinous rice dumplings at the Winter Solstice Banquet.
So Xie Yao ate half of the box without hesitation.
When there were only two pieces left, the prince couldn't help but reach out. In the butler's surprised eyes, he calmly picked up one piece and put it in his mouth.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xie Yao asked, looking at him with sparkling eyes.
Xiao Yizi chewed slowly: "Not bad."
sweet.
The princess likes to eat this?
Thinking of how Du Yutang showed off his wife, the prince's eyes darkened.
I don’t know if peach blossom pastry is easy to make.
The prince was busy at Liuxiayuan during the day, and Xie Yao asked Madam Qi to prepare some gifts. In two days, she would go to the Xu family villa to see her grandfather.
Then, Xie Yao took Rendong and went to Chengyuan.
The old lady of the Xiao family gave her the jade token so that she could enter and leave the palace freely. Now that her mother and Xie Ming'an live in separate houses, she can visit her mother often.
For three consecutive days, Xie Yao went to Chengyuan to find Xu Susu.
Rendong talked with Awu, the security guard of Chengyuan, and found out the situation of Xu's villa.
Mr. Xu’s first wife was a daughter of a cloth shop in the capital.
When my grandmother was still alive, my grandfather would accompany her to live in the capital for some time every year. In addition, the capital was prosperous, and over time, the Xu family opened many shops in the capital, so my uncle stayed in the capital.
Later, because his adopted son managed the property in the capital and his daughter married the Earl of Wenchang, my grandfather would return to the capital every year, stay in the villa with traces of my grandmother for a while, and then return to Jiangzhou to handle matters.
In order to deliver a dowry to Xie Yao, he returned to Beijing early this year.
When Mr. Xu was not living in the capital, the Xu family villa was taken care of by servants.
The housekeeper of the villa is named Yu, and he is Ah Hu's father. In his early years, he was the cook of Mr. Xu in his hometown of Jiangzhou. The old man liked the food he cooked.
There is also a female manager in the villa, named Qiu Shui. She was a maidservant beside my mother in her early years. Because she was young at the time, she did not go to the Bo's Mansion with my mother. Now she also manages the affairs of the villa.
"Butler Yu, Qiu Shui..."
If there is someone like Xie Mingan around my grandfather, then this person is most likely between the housekeeper and Qiu Shui.
Before setting out for the Xu family villa, Xie Yao already had a plan.
The prince had been fiddling with something in Liuxiayuan during the day these days. He stayed there for one night and slept in the same bed with her for the remaining two nights.
Xie Yao didn't disturb him because she knew that the prince didn't like to go out, even to visit his grandfather.
After packing everything, Xie Yao took the honeysuckle and the sachet embroidered by the prince for her grandfather and was about to go out.
When she saw the sachet, she suddenly thought that in addition to the appropriate gifts prepared by Aunt Qi, she should also give her grandfather something made by herself to express her true feelings.
The princess stood in the Fuguang Courtyard, looked around, and chose a chicken.
"It's you, Old Hen Soup. I'll kill him myself."
She is particularly good at this.
Zhui Mo: “Gu!!!”
