Chapter 143 The Marquis is extremely depressed
Wang Xiaodong looked at the Marquis who suddenly got angry and was puzzled.
Wuying stepped forward and whispered, "The Marquis went to the Princess's residence to look for Concubine Qiao, but she didn't expect that Concubine Qiao would not keep the Marquis."
Wang Xiaodong: "The Marquis was kicked out?"
"Shh. Keep your voice down..."
Wang Xiaodong immediately understood, "No wonder the Marquis was so angry, it turns out he was kicked out by Concubine Qiao."
"Well, I'd better hurry up and wait on the Marquis and get some rest."
This will save you from running into a gun again later.

Yun Qiao had no worries about food and drink in the princess's mansion. She was worried about Chen Jingyan before going to bed, but once she fell asleep, she forgot about him as well.
The weather has been hot and humid these days, and Yun Qiao has no appetite, so she thought of some food for herself.
Previously, Chen Jingyan saw that she liked the snacks from Guangcheng, so he brought two cooks from Guangcheng to her. But the cooks are now in the small kitchen in Lanyuan, Houfu. She didn't bring them with her when she came, so she was craving for them now.
I want to eat the ice jelly made by the chef in Guangcheng.
Then he ordered the maid to go to the Marquis' Mansion to invite someone.
Then he heard someone outside the princess's mansion delivering a message.
It was said that a steward from the Marquis's Mansion had arrived, bringing four people with him, two men and two women.
Before Yun Qiao even stood up, she heard Aunt Xiu say, "Do you know whose family this person is from? Why is he being sent to the Princess's Mansion? The Princess's Mansion has enough manpower, so there's no need to hire more people."
Yun Qiao said, "Aunt Xiu, I told the Marquis that the four people who came here are here to serve me in the Marquis's mansion. I want all the people I'm used to having back."
Although Aunt Xiu was sent by the emperor to monitor Yun Qiao, she was just an old maid who served people. Besides, Yun Qiao's request was nothing special.
The emperor stared at her, just wanting to use Yun Qiao to check and balance Chen Jingyan, and did not say that she would be detained here.
It’s no problem for Yun Qiao to have a few servants to serve her.
"Since they are people the princess is used to, then bring them here. However, they should still be examined, to prevent them from bringing any unclean diseases and passing them on to the princess."
"The princess's body is precious, so of course she must be well cared for."
Yun Qiao smiled lightly and said in a friendly manner, "Aunt Xiu is really thoughtful. Let's do as Aunt Xiu says."
Xiao Tao understood and went out, leading Wang Xiaodong and the four people he brought with him who were standing outside the door into the inner courtyard.
"Miss Xiaotao, how is Aunt Qiao doing recently?" Wang Xiaodong asked.
Xiao Tao said softly, "I'm fine. Thank you, Brother Xiaodong, for your concern."
"Qiuye, Qiuchan, you're all here now, I can finally relax, but there are some things I still need to say in advance. Before, in the Marquis' Mansion, the master was the concubine, and we relaxed our service. The concubine didn't care, so we just made do with it. But now in the Princess' Mansion, with Aunt Xiu watching over us, you have to be more careful and cautious in what you do."
Qiu Ye and Qiu Chan nodded.
“We remember that.”
"Let's go and see the princess first."
Xiao Tao said this in advance because she was afraid that Qiu Ye and Qiu Chan would carelessly say something inappropriate and offend Aunt Xiu.
Xiao Tao brought four people to the front, and the two cooks were taken away and checked by a doctor. However, after confirming that they had no infectious diseases, they were assigned to work in the kitchen.
Qiu Ye and Qiu Chan also came to Yun Qiao.
Wang Xiaodong greeted and handed the four people's indentures to Yun Qiao with both hands.
"Your Highness, these are what my master sent to you."
"You keep it."
Yun Qiao nodded slightly, and Xiao Tao stepped forward and took the indenture.
"But I've troubled Steward Wang to make this trip. Is your Marquis okay?"
Thinking about how reluctant he was to leave last night, Yun Qiao felt like laughing.
If it was in the Marquis' Mansion, Wang Xiaodong could still make a joke in front of Yun Qiao, but now he was in the Princess' Mansion. Seeing the old nanny with a stern face and a very serious face, Wang Xiaodong didn't have the courage even if he wanted to.
At that moment, he said calmly, "My Lord, it's fine..."
It looks good, but actually it is not good at all.
Maybe he was driven out of the princess's mansion, and after returning to the marquis's mansion, he has a very bad temper.
Aunt Cheng, who failed to seduce the Marquis last night, is probably packing up and heading to the farm below.
There were originally six concubines in the Marquis's room, and there were also two beautiful maids serving him in the room. Those two maids were originally there to warm the Marquis' bed, and were instructed by the old lady.
Now, all the marquises were driven out in one go.
The angry old lady was helpless.
When Chen Jingyan accompanied the old lady for lunch, he could still hear her muttering.
"Sanlang, what do you think this means? Princess Hua Chao is fake, but your marriage to the princess is real. Since she is fake and Yun Qiao is real, and Hua Chao originally replaced Yun Qiao's identity, why can't Yun Qiao marry you?"
She is looking forward to holding her great-grandson with great joy.
Now that's great, the great-grandson didn't see it, and the granddaughter-in-law who was sure to be her grandson is also missing. Now even if her son Sanlang wants to go and see her, he won't let him.
Chen Jingyan was already feeling unhappy, and after hearing what his grandmother said, he became even more annoyed.
"Grandma, please eat well. The more your grandson doesn't want to listen, the more you rush to talk."
Chen Jingyan looked lonely.
The old lady also noticed it.
She was busy changing the subject.
"No more, no more. Sanlang, Heng'er wrote, saying he'll be back at the end of this month. Let's see if he and Yuanyuan are married, and if they get married before you..."
Chen Jingyan put down his chopsticks with a click.
"Congratulate my second brother on my behalf. I have to go to the northwest in the middle of the month, so I won't be able to attend his wedding."
There are quite a lot of people getting married recently.
But he was not included.
But Yun Qiao's current status is special, and if he wants to marry her, he must get the emperor's permission.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.
The emperor really treated him well.
In fact, if he didn't really like Yun Qiao, the emperor would not be able to control Chen Jingyan. Rather than saying that the emperor was checking him, it would be more accurate to say that he was more worried about Yun Qiao's safety.
Chen Jingyan lost his appetite because he didn't have a good lunch.
At the princess's mansion, Yun Qiao was satisfied with the food.
He ate well and also sent a portion of ice jelly made by the chef from Guangcheng to Aunt Xiu.
Xiaotao carried it personally and delivered it.
"Aunt Xiu, it's very hot in this room. The princess said that hot weather makes one's appetite slow, so she asked the cook to make some ice jelly. Please try it."
Aunt Xiu sat on the chair and didn't get up.
"Thank you for your concern, Princess."
"Thank you, Princess, for me."
"Aunt Xiu, you are too polite. My princess is the most humble person. She really likes you, and you are also sincerely worried about her. The princess knows it all."
After hearing what Xiaotao said, the seriousness on Aunt Xiu's face eased a little.
Look at the ice jelly on the plate, the red and green colors are really beautiful. In addition to the ingredients on top, there are other ingredients, a total of eight kinds of ingredients alone.
Peanuts, raisins, dried dates, sesame seeds, taro balls, dried walnuts, dried hazelnuts, and honey.
It’s full, and there’s a layer of milk on top, with bird’s nest wrapped in the milk.
Even though she worked in the palace, Aunt Xiu was still a servant and could not afford to eat bird's nest, which only nobles could afford, let alone blood bird's nest.
"You little girl, you're really good at talking."
"Auntie, you've finished your meal. Xiaotao will leave first."
After Xiao Tao finished speaking, she stepped back and left. Aunt Xiu enjoyed the bowl of ice jelly very much and felt very satisfied.
A few days later, she was summoned to the palace and truthfully recounted Princess Huayang's daily activities in the Princess Mansion...
Emperor Zhou Yuan sat in a chair, looking relaxed, listening to Aunt Xiu talking about Princess Huayang's daily life.
"Princess Huayang spends her days devouring food and drink. She rarely gets up early and stays up late every night, reading storybooks all day long. When she gets tired, she walks around the garden. Recently, Princess Huayang captured a lot of peacocks from the farm on the outskirts of Zhenbei Marquis's estate. She's planning to build some kind of... zoo."
"She's quite relaxed and at ease." Emperor Zhou Yuan listened with a slight smile on his face. "She's less of a worry than the previous one."
Aunt Xiu didn't say anything.
When the emperor arranged for Princess Hua Chao to marry Marquis Chen Jingyan, he actually wanted to capture Chen Jingyan's team.
Now that the princess has changed, the army that the emperor wants to capture still exists.
"However, it seems to me that Princess Huayang doesn't really care about the Marquis."
"How does Chen Jingyan treat her?" asked Emperor Yuan of Zhou.
Aunt Xiu said, "Of course I'm very happy. Princess Huayang wanted to eat some ice jelly, so the Marquis sent the cook directly over."
