Chapter 219 Sending the Maid Away
The next day was November 30th, a rare day off in the Dayan Dynasty.
It snowed all night, and in the early morning the sky and the earth were covered in white.
Cai Qi saw the wife of the prince sitting on the bed with the quilt gathered around her, and hurriedly brought over the clothes she was going to wear today, "Madam, don't catch a cold, put on your clothes quickly."
After he finished speaking, he saw her looking at the seat next to him, and then he explained with a smile: "The prince got up early this morning and told Madam to wait for him after she got up, and then go to Songhe Hall together to pay her respects to the old lady."
Chen Shuyao thought about what the man seemed to have said last night when she was about to fall asleep.
What is it?
She frowned, feeling that this matter was very important, but she couldn't remember it for the moment. She thought that she would have to ask when she met the person later.
At this time, Xiao Mo was in the martial arts training ground.
Originally, there were only forty or fifty guards protecting his safety. Together with the ordinary palace guards, now there were four or five hundred people standing in the snow.
The guards were okay, as they had been trained by Wuming every day. In addition, they had been carefully selected, so their overall quality was much higher than that of the palace guards.
But today, the prince suddenly ordered the 400 palace guards and imperial guards to train together, and also made strict requirements, hoping that everyone would reduce the gap as soon as possible until they were at a similar level.
Wuming felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy. He and Wuying followed the prince every day, so they naturally smelled some signs of impending storm.
As soon as Xiao Mo said this, he immediately understood his master's intention, so he trained extra seriously.
There are more than 400 people in total. Although not many, maybe they can be useful at the critical moment?
Xiao Mo himself was not idle either. Although it was very cold, he wore only light clothes as if he didn't notice it at all.
First came the throwing and catching of stone locks, then the wrestling.
From palace guards to ordinary guards to nameless and invisible people, he knocked them all down.
The others didn't know much more than Wuming and Wuying. They had heard before that the Crown Prince's wife was pregnant. Now, looking at the Crown Prince's heroic spirit, they thought that their master was venting himself in another form, and they couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
But after the prince left, seeing Wuming not slacking off at all, and thinking that the chief guard was in the same situation as their master, they suddenly felt that they were doomed.
As soon as Xiao Mo came out of the martial arts arena, he saw a woman waiting by the road. He frowned but didn't say anything.
Zhixia dressed up specially today. Although the maid's clothes could not be changed, she only altered the waist of her short jacket to make herself look slimmer.
She also put on lip balm and wore a silk flower in her hair.
She knew that the wife of the Crown Prince liked to wear flowers in her hair, no matter whether they were real or fake, and she wore all kinds of flowers.
She had seen the prince pick flowers several times before, put them in a vase, and stare at them for a long time without taking his eyes off them.
Zhixia was called to follow her master to Songhe Hall that day, and she thought things had taken a turn for the better.
But later, after the Crown Prince's wife left, the Master stopped pretending and simply sent her back.
The longer the couple's conflict lasted, the more jealous and envious looks she had to endure.
But Zhixia knew that was all fake. The master lived alone in the attic, and maids like them were not even allowed to go up there. How could anything happen?
Even the bathroom was guarded by servants, and the maids who delivered the clothes just had to leave it to the servants.
A few days ago, when they heard that the Crown Prince's wife was pregnant, Zhichun and she were full of expectations, thinking that the mistress would appoint someone to serve the husband.
But who would have thought that the gentleman actually moved directly into Yan Yu Hall.
"Young Master!" Zhixia's mind was in turmoil. Seeing the man passing by him, he couldn't help but chase after him.
But Xiao Mo did not stop, and the person who stopped her was Wuying.
Zhixia's eyes were filled with anxiety.
Wuying said with a serious face, "The prince asked you to go back and tell the other three maids that if you agree to leave the mansion, he will ask the Duke's wife to return your indentures and give you some money as compensation. If you want to continue to stay in the Duke's mansion as maids, you can go find the prince's wife and see where she arranges you. The prince also said..."
Wuying paused as he looked at the woman in front of him.
Zhixia was shocked when she heard this: "What else did you say?"
"If you stay in the mansion, you can only be a maid. If you have bad intentions, you will be sold out or beaten to death. I only give you this one chance. I hope you will consider it carefully." Wuying spoke slowly, clearly and solemnly.
Zhixia heard it clearly. She stood there for a while before slowly walking back.
Wuying was originally thinking about what to do if this woman continued to make trouble, but he didn't expect that she would not make any noise or fuss, but just accept it calmly.
In fact, Zhixia herself did not expect that since she was sent to Mingzhe Hall by the Duke's wife, she had been thinking about becoming the prince's woman.
When Zhixia saw the cool and handsome young general for the first time, her heart was filled with joy and longing.
It can be said that she has been looking forward to it for as long as she has been in Mingzhe Hall.
How can I not be anxious as I am getting older in recent years?
As long as the prince doesn't send her away personally, she still has hope.
But today, that person finally showed them the way forward.
He is a man standing in the clouds. Zhixia knows that the prince did this for his wife.
He didn't want the woman he loved to have any trouble.
Even though the four of them represented all four seasons, the man could only see his wife.
Zhixia smiled somewhat self-lostly. She had originally thought that she would be very sad, but when this actually happened, she actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps she had already given up hope subconsciously and was just waiting for a result.
When Xiao Mo returned to Yan Yutang, Chen Shuyao had just finished washing up with the help of her maid.
Next, the two of them had breakfast together before going out.
It was a vast white world outside. Xiao Mo was wearing a black cloak, while Chen Shuyao was wearing a crimson cape.
To prevent her from falling, the man put his arm around the woman's waist and walked slowly forward.
The overlapping black and red clothes looked extremely eye-catching in the snow.
Xiao Jinrong and Yin Shuqun, the two couples happened to meet at the door of Songhe Hall.
"Brother! Sister-in-law!"
Chen Shuyao pulled her hand back from the man and then greeted them.
While she was talking to her second brother's wife, Xiao Mo stood a little further away. When he saw Huixiang coming over to support his master, he stood in the corridor and waited.
Xiao Jinrong was standing by, so it wasn't convenient for him to go in before them.
He just glanced at the elder sister-in-law and then looked away, but he thought of the calm woman in Jiyunzhai that year.
Whenever Xiao Jinrong recalled the memory countless times, he would be amazed by the young cousin Xu.
Which young lady could remain safe and sound like her amidst all the scheming?
Not only was he safe, but he also took care of his stepmother and his face, and secretly warned the person who was plotting against him.
Xiao Jinrong thought of his many childish and unreasonable behaviors at that time, and now he felt ashamed.
