Seeing that the lady looked fine and didn't seem like she would embarrass anyone, he boldly made another request.
"Madam, can I take the maidservants with me? It's fate that they followed me. I want to have a companion after I leave. I can use the money to redeem them."
In fact, she was worried that the maids would know what she had done, and keeping her in the mansion would cause trouble, so it would be better to take her away. First, she needed someone by her side, and second, she would feel at ease holding the indenture with her.
Bai Zhiyue said it was okay, it was just a small matter.
"Sure, Qinglian, go get the girls' indentures. Anyone who wants can take them away."
Anyway, there are too many to keep in the house.
Seeing that she got the letter of release as a concubine so easily and that the lady was not embarrassed at all, the others came forward to ask for the letter of release as a concubine, took the silver, and took the two maids who served her away.
Given their situation, staying in the mansion would be like the old concubines in the backyard who could hardly even leave. They were still young and really didn't want to be trapped in a small courtyard for their entire lives. Whether they lived or died depended on the attitude of the person in power in the mansion, and whether they could eat well and dress warmly depended on the lady's wishes.
It’s not that the Madam is not a good person. Maybe one or two years will be enough, until the young master comes of age and the Marquis of Anding’s Mansion has a new Madam.
It would be better to use the money to find a new husband, or simply adopt a son so that he can have someone to take care of him in his old age.
"Since you have chosen to leave the house, I hope you can all have a good life. Please pack up your belongings and leave."
From then on, there was no one else in the mansion except the two old concubines who were taking care of the elderly.
A unique celebration banquet was held in the main courtyard
"From now on, this Marquis of Anding's Mansion will be completely ours!"
"The past six months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs for us, from nothing to something, then to a low point, and then back to life again. Even the plaque on the door has changed several times. It's been a constant flow of excitement."
"Of course, how can it not be exciting with us here!"
Congcong was the first to stand up,
"Yes, life is richer with you."
"And me, even though I didn't help this time, I will definitely be able to help in the future!"
Chiyan was angry that he was not taken with her when she went to do something big last time.
"Now that the weather is getting warmer, let's go for an outing sometime."
"That's great! I haven't been out running for a long time."
"We want to go too!"
"Good all go"
Number 1 lamented, "It's a pity that the three rat brothers and sisters are no longer with us."
"We have fewer friends again!"
"How could that be? Spring is here and everything is flourishing. There will be more birds, insects and animals, and I will have more friends."
Life is like this, there are always some passers-by who flash by.
The emperor has been in high spirits recently. In addition to the noble concubine, he has cracked down on the lineage of the King of Chu and continuously attacked the remnants of the previous dynasty, eliminating their spies planted in the capital, shutting down five hideouts, and confiscating a large amount of silver and various weapons and equipment they made themselves.
The national treasury, which had been in deficit, was now filled a lot, and he felt more confident when speaking in the court. It was really great. All this was thanks to the Bai family, so Qin Minghao was grateful to her from the bottom of his heart. Every time he took down a den and got something good, he would give her a share as a token of his favor.
But this grace made many people bear grudges and keep it in their hearts.
All the tunnels in the palace were filled up, and the secret passages that were already public were no longer secret passages. In the future, we would send our own people to dig a new one, or change some entrances and exits, as emergency life-saving measures.
Spring is a happy season, a season full of hope, and a season for young men and women to deal with major issues in their lives.
Spring banquets have begun in every household. The most famous one is the one hosted by the emperor's elder sister, Princess Pingyang.
The princess's mansion not only has plum blossoms of various colors blooming one after another, but also has a glazed greenhouse specially built for the princess by her husband. It contains dozens of flowers that should bloom in different seasons. It is the spring banquet with the most and most colorful flowers and the widest range of invited guests, without a doubt.
February 22nd was a good day, and Princess Pingyang's mansion sent an invitation, inviting her and her son to attend the Spring Banquet.
In fact, the spring banquet in the princess's mansion has two purposes. One is to help the emperor's brother to improve his relationship with the ministers and to see which ones can be used and which ones have problems.
Next, let’s talk about Princess Pingyang herself. She is 38 years old this year, two years older than the emperor, but she has never had any children.
There was no rush in the first few years after marriage, and the prince consort never expressed any opinion on this matter. But after five years of marriage, she still couldn't get pregnant, so she started looking for imperial physicians and even folk doctors. After the diagnosis, they all said that there was nothing wrong with her body and it depended on fate.
Seven years later, even the princess could no longer stop the prince consort from taking a concubine. The more the prince consort said it didn't matter and he didn't care, the more Pingyang couldn't bear to ruin his offspring, so she took the initiative to help him take two good concubines.
Now she has given birth to three sons and two daughters, and the eldest illegitimate son is 13 years old, but she still has no children. She has drunk several large jars of medicine over the years, and gradually she no longer has any hope.
In addition to hosting this spring banquet for her younger brother, she also enjoyed matchmaking for others. In particular, if Baocheng's matchmaker had a happy marriage and gave birth to a legitimate daughter or son early, she would feel happy too.
I believe that if I do more things to help others, I may be rewarded and maybe get a surprise one day, so I am particularly keen on doing these things, and now it has become a habit.
On the day of the Spring Banquet, the area in front of the princess's mansion was extremely lively. The carriages from various mansions were lined up on another street. Everyone who came to attend was dressed up exquisitely. This was different from attending palace banquets, where people usually wore official uniforms and the ladies were not allowed to be too showy.
But today, you can come as pretty, beautiful and handsome as you want. You are not only here to attend the banquet, you can even say that you are here to compete with each other in wealth, beauty and handsomeness.
Bai Zhiyue is naturally no exception. Today she specially wore the clothes designed by her son. It looks fashionable without making her look old-fashioned. It is a perfect blend of solemnity and beauty.
"Madam Rongfu and the young marquis are here. Please come in! The princess wants to see the young marquis!"
There was a nanny waiting for her at the door, and she was asked to go in and see the princess as soon as possible.
The princess naturally knew about Bai Zhiyue's contribution, and her younger brother also specifically asked her to take good care of Bai. Anyone who was useful to her younger brother was her friend, so of course she had to be more attentive.
"Meet Princess Pingyang"
"Madam Rongfu, please stand up."
Looking at Doudou in her arms
"This must be the youngest marquis of Daliang, let me see him!"
Princess Pingyang couldn't take her eyes off the good-looking children. Bai Zhiyue knew her knot and was not stingy, so she put Doudou directly into the princess's hand.
"Princess, please help me hold him for a while. This kid is getting heavier and heavier. My arms are sore from carrying him all the way here."
Pingyang picked it up and lifted it up, but it was indeed very heavy and he could hardly lift it.
"It's really heavy. You feed him well. Look at his thick flesh. His bones are heavier and older than those of his peers."
Isn't he well fed? He's fed nutritional supplements, milk, and a variety of complementary foods every day. He's bigger and heavier than his peers.
