Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 69: Making Things Difficult and Giving People
There is no impenetrable wall in this palace. Defei naturally knew that it was Yixiu who went to find the Fourth Prince with the account book, which was why the Fourth Prince came to argue with her and then dealt with the people of the Uya family without any mercy.
De Fei listened to Zhu Xi's intelligence and smiled coldly: "It's really a biting dog that doesn't bark. If it weren't for my advice, how could a little concubine like her have the blessing she has today?"
Zhuxi used a small hammer to massage Concubine De, and advised: "Concubine Yi is young and ignorant after all, and she still needs your guidance."
Concubine De ordered: "You should give me more advice. Tomorrow is the time to pay respects again. I have had a headache these days and cannot sleep well at night. It is also common for me to be unable to get up in the morning. Remember to entertain our Concubine Yi well."
Zhuxi and Defei share the same fate. After such an incident, she felt ridiculed when walking around the palace, not to mention the blow to Defei's prestige. She understood: "Concubine Yi is filial, so she won't mind."
Liu Youyou was of course prepared to be troubled by Concubine De, and she even wished she could be troubled by Concubine De! The anger she took out on her now would become a thorn in the future between mother and son, and she could also take advantage of the situation to seek warmth from the Fourth Prince. The last person who was so generous was Concubine Ulanara!
On the second day, Liu Youyou got up early, ate and drank her fill, and put on a warmer cheongsam. The temperature difference between day and night in the capital was quite large. Now that she was going to pay her respects to Concubine De, she had to be prepared for anything that might happen, so it was necessary to wear something thicker.
Arriving at Yonghe Palace, Liu Youyou could sense the overall atmosphere of Yonghe Palace not welcoming her before she even entered the gate. If she had come here by herself in the past, Zhu Xi would have been waiting at the gate early. But now, not to mention that Zhu Xi didn't show up, the little palace maids who came to lead the way were all smiling and just walking with their heads down.
Liu Youyou didn't care about such a little difficulty. She stepped steadily on the bottom of the flower pot and came to the door of the main hall at her own pace.
It was Zhu Xi who was guarding the door. With an apologetic look on her face, she said to Liu Youyou, "It's an unfortunate coincidence that Concubine Fu Jin came. Your Majesty has not been sleeping well these days. Today is a rare day when she slept more. I dare not make the decision on my own."
Zhu Xi had made it so clear, so why wouldn't Liu Youyou not understand? She said worriedly, "Mother finally managed to sleep so well, how could a younger generation not understand? But, since Mother is not feeling well, how could we not ask the imperial physician? This minor illness is most afraid of medical attention, and it must be diagnosed early so that it can be cured."
Zhu Xi was choked by Liu Youyou's words. What could be wrong with Concubine De? After hearing what Liu Youyou said, it seemed that Concubine De didn't pay attention to minor problems, and finally accumulated them into serious illnesses. Bah, bah, bah, the queen is in good health! What a crow's mouth this Concubine Yi is, she doesn't care about what she says.
Following the ups and downs of Concubine De in the palace, Zhu Xi has also mastered her acting skills. She pretended not to have heard the second half of Liu Youyou's words and continued with her prepared speech: "Then I can only ask Concubine Yi to wait in the courtyard."
Liu Youyou smiled and responded: "This is my duty, so why should I feel wronged?"
Then Liu Youyou was brought by Zhuxi to the windy vent in the yard. Although it was already May in the capital, the temperature in the morning was not high. And it was in the windy vent. If Liu Youyou had not been prepared, she would have been caught in a cold.
She walked on the high flower pots and was blown by the wind for more than an hour before she heard a noise in the main hall. Concubine De got up. She first dressed up carefully and had breakfast. An incense stick (half an hour) had passed. She sipped the refreshing tea and said to Zhuxi, "This Junshan Silver Needle is still the most mellow and delicious. It's very delicious."
As if he had just remembered it, he asked Zhuxi, "Is today the day when Yixiu comes to pay her respects?"
Zhu Xi also knelt down in fear and trepidation, "My queen, if you remember correctly, it is today!"
Defei said angrily: "Didn't Yixiu, that naive child, arrive so early? Hurry up and invite your concubine in!"
Zhu Xi hurriedly ordered the little palace maid to bring Liu Youyou in.
Defei did not allow Yixiu to pay her respects, and said with a guilty look on her face: "This servant was raised by me in an unruly way, and she actually dared to be my master!"
Zhu Xi also knelt down and looked like he was asking for forgiveness, "Please punish me, Concubine."
How could Liu Youyou really blame Zhu Xi? She probably didn't want to enter the Yonghe Palace anymore. Besides, she was just the Fourth Prince's concubine. If a concubine dared to punish the imperial concubine's personal maid, she would be sentenced to death by Emperor Kangxi in the afternoon. This was not the way to commit suicide.
She helped Zhuxi up anxiously and apologized to Concubine De: "It is my duty to pay my respects to my mother. Aunt Zhuxi only cares about my mother. What crime has she committed? It is my ignorance that disturbed my mother's rest."
De Fei naturally took the blame and did not let Liu Youyou apologize. She said to Zhu Xi: "Even if you are devoted to the master, you are wrong. Today, Yi Xiu was soft-hearted, so I will let you go lightly and fine you three months' salary. If you do this again in the future, you don't have to serve me anymore!"
Zhu Xi thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you very much, Madam, for your kindness. Thank you very much, Concubine, for your kindness."
As Defei's personal maid, Zhuxi had long passed the time when she had to live on salary. Three months' worth of silver, or a gold hairpin from Defei, was worth more than three months' salary.
Why is it that Concubine De only has these little tricks to use?
She chatted and laughed with Liu Youyou for a while before she looked worried. "The eldest princess passed away a while ago, and Yinzhen's mansion still doesn't have a viable heir. How can this be possible?"
Liu Youyou knew that Concubine De was going to make a move, and frowned and said, "I am unlucky. I can't share the worries for mother and father." After saying that, she touched her belly with her hand.
Defei looked like she didn't want to but had no choice, and said to Yixiu: "The royal family has always valued having many children, and now Yinzhen only has a few kittens in his backyard, how can he have many children?"
Yixiu's face turned pale, and she seemed to understand what Defei was going to do.
Defei couldn't bear it any more and asked Zhuxi to bring up two pretty women.
Zhu Xi introduced: "These two were specially found by the Queen. They both have several brothers in their families and are very easy to raise."
Yixiu clenched her handkerchief, not knowing what to say.
Seeing Yixiu's panic, Defei felt happy, thinking that since she was the king in the fourth son's backyard, I couldn't punish her. But she consoled him by saying, "These are all princesses of the Han army flag."
What I mean is that I only gave people to the Fourth Prince for the sake of his offspring, and they are all Han army flags, which will not threaten your position.
Yixiu could only accept it stiffly, "Thank you, mother, for considering the Fourth Master." After saying that, she looked like she couldn't accept it and went back with the two women.
Zhuxi relaxed Concubine De's shoulders and complimented her, "Your Majesty, you really hit the nail on the head. I think Concubine Yi will not have the energy to look for any more parasites in the future."
De Fei scolded, "You are the only one who is clever. However, you are right. You have so many idle thoughts, which shows that you are living too comfortably in the backyard. Today, I have wronged you. The Wu Ya family paid tribute to you with some jewelry a few days ago. You can pick two pieces yourself!"
After all, Zhuxi was punished for himself today. Even if Zhuxi didn't care, Defei, who was so smooth, wouldn't turn a blind eye. What did the personal maid know? If she didn't win him over, wouldn't that just give the enemy a handle?
