Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid
Chapter 48:
Today is New Year's Eve, but the palace eunuchs are not New Year's Eve.Except for one month's monthly payment for the New Year, one person added a new suit and added some meat to the meal, which is no different from other usual.
King Jing accompanies his wife and concubine to the New Year's Eve dinner in the hall, Xiaohua also knows, but she has nothing to do.Knowing that there are many people waiting in the temple today, she consciously did not join in the fun.
Today, the masters in the temple’s New Year’s Eve banquet was done at the dining hall, and the small kitchen was idle for Mother He.
All the people in Jingtai Hall gathered in the front hall, and there were still two or three kittens that did not need to go. The small kitchen made a table of rich delicacies, and everyone sitting together was considered a New Year’s Eve dinner. .
Xiao Hua was here at Mother He. A big round table was set up in the small kitchen outside the room. Except for the waiter in the front hall, two eunuchs who could not leave were left behind, and the rest were here.
There are not many people, there are only a dozen people in total.
There are Madam He and several other elderly palace aunts in the small kitchen.There are also small flowers and spring grasses, and five eunuchs.
Today's banquet was made by a man named Aunt Meng's palace, and Madam He commanded.Madam He is now getting older. Except for her Royal Highness's meals, she occasionally uses her hands, and the others are all made by the people below.This matter was later familiarized with the small kitchen, and Xiaohua learned about it.
The dishes were set, and Ancheng came just as soon as people were seated.
Seeing An Cheng, everyone was a little surprised.
Before asking his intentions, An Cheng's face was serious and he said, "Little Flower Girl, Your Highness invites you to the front hall."
As soon as he said this, the small kitchen suddenly became quiet, only the occasional crackling of lanterns could be heard.
"This—" For a while, Xiao Hua was a little at a loss and didn't know how to react.
Mother He is so old and fine, of course she understands that there is nothing wrong, and King Jing will definitely not invite Xiaohua to go there for no reason.If you wanted this to be interesting, you would have recruited it a long time ago, and you won't be suddenly called someone in the middle of the journey.
"Boy Ancheng, what the hell is it for? When you are here, your boy will pretend grandma to me."
An Cheng touched his face and laughed flatteringly.
"Hey, see what you said, the younger one just came over from there and didn't get used to it for a while." He frowned, looked at Xiaohua next to him a little worriedly, and said, "It feels a bit unpleasant, Princess Wang. I don’t know how to know about the little flower girl, so she suddenly mentioned it to meet at the banquet. In front of so many people, she said sincerely and well-founded. His Royal Highness could not refute her. It's time."
As Fushun's apprentice, An Cheng still knows some inside information, and there is no reason why Princess Jing would not come so suddenly.It's just that the matter is urgent, His Royal Highness nodded again, they can only come and recruit people as slaves.And he knew that once this happened, there must be another disturbance in Jingtai Hall.
The people outside are not clear, but the inside are all aware of the rules of the Jingtai Temple, and revealing a bit of news in the temple outside, if caught, it will be a dead end.
People in Jingtai Hall know about Little Flower Girl and Her Royal Highness. Little Flower Girl and a little palace person next to her never leave the palace on weekdays, which means that the news must be released by people in Jingtai Hall. of.
There are two eunuch chiefs in Jingtai Temple, one is the internal flattering eunuch chief Fushun and the other is the deputy chief Changshun.The leader is Fushun, but he spends most of his time by his side to wait for him, and Changshun handles the clutter in other houses.
Fushun seemed to care about everything, but no one dared to say that he didn't care.He doesn't care about trivial matters, he only cares about the affairs around the prince.Whoever touched the prince's taboo is just touching his mold.If you touch Fushun's mold, you will end up miserably.
This fact was confirmed with their own eyes by countless old people serving in King's Palace.
As for Xiao Hua, a discerning person knew it was sent to King Jing by Fushun.No matter what the purpose is, at least in the eyes of outsiders, Fushun is very happy these days, and the source of happiness is related to Xiaohua, a small palace person.
If you don't know what's inside, the Fushun behind Xiaohua who is taboo is treated as if she didn't see it, or if she saw it, it's as if it had no meaning inside.Knowing what's inside, but also knowing the deep meaning behind Fushun's actions.
It was so difficult for everyone to spend a lot of thoughts, so that His Highness finally thought about it, and Wang Concubine Jing suddenly intervened. No matter what her purpose, at least the person who sent her the message out was dead.
And An Cheng and Madam He are both clear about the inside story, and they must know that things are not that simple, but they can't say it clearly, after all, there are other people on the sidelines.
"Girl Xiaohua, you don't have to be afraid. Go and deal with it carefully. There is nothing wrong with your Highness." Madam He can only say that to comfort Xiao Hua.
Xiaohua grinned reluctantly, and followed An Cheng with anxiety.
Entering the main hall, the lights are brilliant, but there is no sound.
Xiao Hua entered through the side door and walked to the hall. Without seeing the look of the people in the hall, she knelt down and bowed to the big salute.
"Greetings to your Highness, to the princess and empress, and to the concubine Qiao and the two wives."
Before coming in, Ann Achievement gave her some simple details of popular science along the way, so Xiaohua was also a drop.
Princess Jing smiled like a flower, and said with a very enthusiastic attitude: "Get up, do you do such a big gift, you are all sisters, don't be cautious." And motioned Chunxiang to help Xiaohua get up.
Xiao Hua stood up and lowered her head.
"Come and see, I haven't seen my sister yet." Princess Jing said and waved.
Princess Jing was kind and extremely enthusiastic, but Xiao Hua felt shuddering.Just like the rabbit with a trap behind it being chased by a hungry wolf, knowing that the front is a pit, I have to go forward.
As soon as Xiao Hua walked in, she was held by Princess Jing.
Princess Jing's hands were warm, but Xiao Hua felt cold in her heart.She looked at each other with half-closed eyes, the smile on Princess Jing's face was very kind, but Xiao Hua always felt that there was something hidden in the smile.
"It looks really good, no wonder your Royal Highness hides by her side and can't bear to see people. Tsk, Concubine Qiao, look at it, isn't it so watery?"
Concubine Qiao smiled and did not speak.
"How old are you this year?" Princess Jing asked gently, stroking Xiao Hua's hand.
"The servant girl was just fifteen."
"Oh, so young."
Isn't it young? Fifteen, so young.Compared with fifteen, King Jing, who is already twenty or four, is ten years older.
Concubine Jing clearly knew that she shouldn't be like this, but her hands holding Xiaohua's hands couldn't help but tighten.
Xiao Hua's hand was so painful that she didn't dare to take it back, but she couldn't help but circle around King Jing.
What I saw was King Jing's calm and unwavering side face, and his slender hand with the wine glass in his hand, without even looking here.
"Such a flower and jade person, but your Highness carelessly refuses to give you a name. I really wronged you."
These words made Xiaohua not pick up, nor did it mean that her Highness was careless, and if she didn't pick up, it was disrespectful to the princess.Xiaohua knew nothing about the situation in King Jing's backyard at this time. When both parties could not afford to offend, she decided not to speak out.
Otherwise, Princess Jing’s self-talking skills are getting better and better. She continued to smile and said: "His Royal Highness is busy with official duties, and since I don’t have the time to take care of these little things, I cannot be careless as a princess. How about this, the princess will give you the title of a concubine, and you will also serve your majesty. Then move to the East Third Courtyard to live, and everyone can sit together and lively."
She paused for a moment, and her face was embarrassed: "It is said that you are from a palace and you have only been in the palace for half a year. The rules in the palace are like this, but don't dislike the status of concubines too low. We have few sisters in the palace. Like the two jade ladies who were also rewarded by his father and his elders, they won the position of a lady."
The concubine Jing had a lot of meaning in these words, which not only explained that Xiaohua must be given a name, but also mocked her for being too low-born and could only get the status of a concubine.Incidentally, Yu Jiao Yu Rong and Yu Jiao Yu Rong were also ridiculed, and they were combined with Xiao Hua into the same grade, both of which were born as slaves, and it was because of the reward of Emperor Xi that they could get the position of a lady.
The prince's wife and concubine system of the Daxi Dynasty includes one concubine, two concubines and several wives.The wife is also the lowest concubine room, but even if it is low, it is registered, while the concubine does not wait, and does not keep records, as many as possible.
At this moment, the people in the hall almost knew what King Jing meant.
Showing goodness is false, being kind is false, wooing is false, all kinds of rhetoric are also false, the only truth is that her purpose is to give Xiaohua a name.
Some people may say that the award must be for Xiaohua.
Whether it is good or not, then only God knows.
Everyone at the scene knew in their hearts that the women in the backyard had a status, so they didn't live wherever they wanted to live, they all had to be summarized in the Dongfang Courtyard.This was the rule set by King King at the time, in order to let the women of the Third East and West Institute stay safe and guard themselves, and don't go where they shouldn't go.
But now, King Jing took the rules set by King King and slapped King King in the face.
Of course, it is not a face slap, after all, Princess Jing's attitude is impeccable, and what she said is also very reasonable.The only thing worth mentioning is her thoughts after this action.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Hua is in Jingtai Hall. As the saying goes, the moon comes first near the water tower. If King Jing does not go to the backyard all the year round, he must not let a person close at hand be cut off.He couldn't get started, so he pulled others back to the starting line, and he couldn't say that Princess Jing did something wrong, but after all, it felt like he stretched his hand too long.
"His Royal Highness, you don't blame the concubine for being too wide, and the concubine is also for the sake of this younger sister."
Seeing King Jing looking over, Princess Jing showed a slight aggrieved appearance, as if she was generous with others and you should never blame.
Xiao Hua looked at King Jing begging, hoping that he would never agree.
King Jing misunderstood the begging in Xiaohua's eyes, and his eyesight deepened.
After all, after waiting for her for so long, she should be given a name.As for Xiaohua a long time ago that she wanted to be a little palace man, it was completely forgotten by King Jing.
But King Jing felt that the status of a concubine was a bit low, and he glanced at the two'ladies' below who he classified as miscellaneous.After waiting for myself for so long, is it possible that two women who have not touched me are worse?
"Fushun."
"The old slave is here."
"She." King Jing raised his hand with the wine glass towards the place where Xiao Hua stood, and said concisely: "Madam."
"Yes." Fushun replied brightly: "The old slave will do it soon."
Even though Fushun's heart was bleeding at the moment, he decided to poke the heart and lung tube of Princess Jing.
Let you be more nosy, let your words be tricked, what rules, rules are not set by your Royal Highness.
King Jing’s identity is not enough, and she was born in a palace. In addition to ridiculing Yu Jiao Yurong's low status, she also mentioned Xiao Hua incidentally. In addition, she also told King Jing,'This palace is low in status, and at most he deserves to be a person. Concubine' means.
I don't know that I have been talking too much nonsense, and Xiaohua's identity is low, but he can't stand King Jing and feels that he doesn't want to be wronged.It's just a low position for a lady. Maybe the concubine must play in the court and can only be sealed with permission, but the lady does not use it, but it is also a serious concubine room that can keep records, but unlike the concubine, the concubine can be on the jade disc. Wife and concubine recognized by ancestors.
Seeing that she couldn't stop her, Princess Jing smiled stiffly and said, "Well, that's really congratulations to my sister."
Concubine Qiao's eyes flashed and her smile was like a flower: "Congratulations."
Yu Rong and Yu Jiao both looked a little ugly, but they also expressed joy.
Xiao Hua couldn't do anything except kneel down and thank King Jing's grace.
Fushun kicked the little eunuch next to him, and said, "Things that have no vision, don't hurry up and set up a table for Mrs. Hua."
This "Mrs. Flower" was really loud, making Xiao Hua a moment of stun, making the expression on Princess Jing's face even more rigid.
The little eunuch moved quickly and was set up in a short while.
So, Xiao Hua also sat in the hall, under the side of Concubine Qiao.
