The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby

In the West Flower Hall, Hua Xiyu sat on a stool angrily. Liu Jingcheng came in afterwards, and housekeeper Lin followed behind.

"Butler Lin, this is the new servant in the mansion, hand him over to Qi Bao." Liu Jingcheng only said this to the butler, then hurried out and stepped out of the door: "Make him some suitable clothes, don't let the people in the palace down." He was so uncomfortable that he didn't dare to look back. When he returned to his own yard, he laughed secretly for a long time.

Steward Lin was a calm and steady man who understood everything thoroughly. The prince never asked about the household affairs in the palace, let alone a small servant. Guard Qi had instructed him once before, and now the prince personally instructed him again, even for such a small matter as dressing. There must be a reason for this, and Steward Lin would not act rashly before understanding the reason clearly.

"What's your name?" asked Butler Lin.

“Linda” Hua Xiyu answered.

"Carried?" Butler Lin repeated, such a strange name.

There's no point in worrying about the name, the guy looks weird anyway and the name fits the person well.

As soon as Liu Jingcheng left, Hua Xiyu suddenly felt the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Who was he showing off his sullen face to? Really, he was just a guard, not the real master.

"Butler Lin, I will be under your care from now on. Let me ask you, what job in your palace earns the most money?" Hua Xiyu sat down at the table, holding his chin with his hands, his bright eyes flashing, looking well-behaved and sensible.

"To make money?" Steward Lin didn't react at first. Who comes to the palace to make money? Most of the maids and servants were sold by their families as lifelong slaves because their families were too poor, or they were born servants in the family. They got some monthly salary every month, but that was just pocket money. Who could get rich by relying on the monthly salary from the palace?

Moreover, regardless of the status of the job, the monthly salary is not much different. If a servant wants to have money, it all depends on the rewards from the master when he is happy. He can accumulate it slowly, and when he has enough, he can take it home to honor his parents. That's all.

Now, Hua Xiyu wants to make money in the palace. Steward Lin almost laughed to death. Is this kid missing something?

"In our mansion, what matters is the word 'loyalty'. As long as you are loyal to the master and serve the master well, you will have everything," Butler Lin said slowly.

The maids and servants in the palace are divided into many levels. The higher the level, the easier the job, and the closer they are to the center of power (the prince), and of course the more benefits they get. The harder, more tiring, and dirtier the work, and the farther they are from the prince, the less benefits they get. Those servants of the lowest level, who are of extremely humble origins and not very smart, will be arranged to do those dirty, hard, and tiring jobs, such as raising horses, and the monthly salary they receive is pitifully little.

Guards like Jie An Yiqi have to follow the prince through life and death. Their status is similar to that of bosses and employees in modern society. They receive monthly salaries. Other people in the mansion are all slaves of the palace, and their life and death depend on the words of their master.

"Okay, then what high position does the guard Cheng hold in your palace? I see you all seem to listen to him." Xiyu asked with curiosity and expectation.

"Guard Cheng? He told you he is Guard Cheng?" Steward Lin was unable to react at once. The prince usually dressed up as a guard when he went out. It turned out that this kid didn't know the prince's identity. Then he immediately understood. Well, the master doesn't want to reveal his identity, so as a servant, he can only cooperate.

"Guard Cheng, in our mansion, apart from the prince, he is the one who has the final say. The prince usually does not show up, and almost all matters are decided by Guard Cheng, so you'd better not offend him." Butler Lin spoke to Hua Xiyu earnestly. His tone, like that of an elder, made Hua Xiyu feel warm inside.

"Thank you, housekeeper." Hua Xiyu didn't seem to be so sleepy now, but it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening. In this era without internet and electricity, what else could he do besides sleeping?

"Lian Niang, I'll leave this to you. You, the 'porter', can stay here for one night and hand it over to Qi Bao tomorrow." Lian Niang came out of the house at this time. Butler Lin greeted her, and it was considered a handover of work.

"Young lady, what's your name?" Lian Niang has been in the palace for many years and has long been familiar with Liu Jingcheng's temper. This girl obviously treats the prince differently, so she should just treat her well and see what happens later.

"Sister, just call me Linda." Hua Xiyu looked at the woman in front of him, who was no more than 30 years old. Calling her auntie was too young, but sister was barely appropriate.

"Lian De" Oh my, what kind of name is this? The illiterate Lian Niang actually thought of these two words, which makes Gu Wuhuan look more capable. "Lin Da" at least sounds more like a name than "Lian De".

But to Hua Xiyu, it sounds similar, linda and linde, there is only one letter difference, and he is too lazy to correct it.

Women are really hard to deceive. If Xiaoyi developed a keen eye because she wanted to win the favor of her master, then Lianniang really had the ability of a pure woman. She saw through Hua Xiyu's disguise at a glance. She knew without even a second that this was a girl.

Gu Wuhuan hadn't seen his younger cousins ​​for a long time. He walked into Chengyu Courtyard. Chunliu was just about to coax the princess to sleep. The prince didn't need to be coaxed. He was only half an incense stick older than his sister. The brother seemed several years older and much more stable than his sister.

Taking off the jewelry on the princess's head, Chunliu said, "Hey, what is this? I've never seen it before." Chunliu picked up the exquisite bug. She was the one who sorted out the princess' jewelry, so how could she not know what she had? This exquisite thing that looked like a cat's eye was very valuable. She thought to herself that it might be a gift from some empress when she entered the palace today.

"This is mine." Lan Xi took the bug and put it into her sleeve pocket. Mother said that no one else should know about it. Today, she has told Dad, but Dad is not an outsider, so he can know about it.

Chunliu smiled and told her to go to bed quickly as it was already very late.

In Dabao's room, the little girl was helping the prince undress and preparing to help him go to bed. Gu Wuhuan came into the room at this time and saw the cat's eye on the crown of his little cousin at a glance, "What is this? It's so beautiful."

Such an exquisite and beautiful thing should be worth a lot of money.

"It was a reward from the Emperor. I don't know what it's called." Dabao lied. It was difficult to explain it clearly to his old cousin in just a few words, so it was better to lie.

Gu Wuhuan held the bug in his hand and played with it. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. The more he looked at it, the more beautiful it seemed. He wanted to just take it away, but he didn't dare to just take the gift from the emperor.

"Did you miss your cousin? Did anyone cause you any trouble when you entered the palace today?" Gu Wuhuan held his cousin in his arms and asked slowly from the beginning, like an old nanny.

Dabao answered the questions one by one. Although this cousin may be a bit nagging, he has the best heart. Every time someone bullies them, as long as this cousin is there, he will protect them unconditionally. Dabao and Erbao like him very much too.

"My daddy said he found mommy, and she will be coming to the palace soon," Dabao happily shared with his cousin.

"Really? Isn't she the rumored Miss Hua? But Miss Hua jumped into the river and died. I'm afraid it will be difficult for your father to marry again."

As soon as the rumor of the marriage proposal came out, the girl jumped into the river. The reputation of Prince Hong for being unlucky in marriage has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Huicheng. I'm afraid even Miss Pan has given up the idea now.

While the two cousins ​​were talking, Liu Jingcheng also stepped into Chengyu Courtyard. His daughter lived in the east wing, and his son lived in the west wing. He went to his daughter's room first and saw that Erbao was already fast asleep, with his arms stretched out and his little hands clenched tightly.

Liu Jingcheng gently pried open her little hand, and the bug rolled out of his palm and onto the bed. Then he remembered what the two children had said in the carriage. They could hear what others said and could install those sounds in Dabao's watch.

He went to the west wing and saw Gu Wuhuan holding his son and talking to him. The intimacy between the two seemed even closer than that of father and son.

Dabao found him and shouted, "Daddy!" The little kid ran out barefoot.

Liu Jingcheng glared at Gu Wuhuan. This guy was old but acted without any sense of propriety. He even disturbed the child's rest so late.

Liu Jingcheng hugged his son and said, "The ground is too cold, I'm afraid he will get sick."

He signaled Gu Wuhuan to leave quickly as the child was about to fall asleep.

Gu Wuhuan reluctantly got up and prepared to go back to his home.

After leaving the palace, he suddenly remembered that "Lin Da" was still bathing in Liu Jingcheng's Jingxi Courtyard. When Hua Xiyu sneaked over, he was watching the whole process. If he hadn't deliberately led away the guards guarding the gate, Hua Xiyu would not have been able to get in.

I didn’t know what my cousin would think when he saw this. My mind was full of erotic pictures. Suddenly, I couldn’t sit still anymore and asked the driver to turn around and go back to the palace.

The coachman had no choice but to turn the horse around, and the horse rumbled towards the palace again. When they arrived at the palace, the coachman was sent back: "I will rest at the palace tonight, come and pick me up tomorrow." The coachman responded and left.

Gu Wuhuan went straight to Jingxi Courtyard. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to have happened there. Liu Jingcheng had come back from seeing the children and was taking a bath in the same bathtub that Hua Xiyu had just used. Even though there was a bit of Hua Xiyu's smell in it, the water in such a large pool had long been diluted and faded, and the mud and sand had sunk to the bottom, leaving no trace at all.

Gu Wuhuan immediately noticed the camera hanging around Liu Jingcheng's neck.

"What is this? It looks very delicate. Where did you get it?" As he said this, he reached out to pick it, but Liu Jingcheng held him back.

This is very similar to the one of Dabao. Were they both rewards from the emperor?

This is strange. When has this cousin ever cared about these things? He actually protects this little thing.

"This isn't a reward from the emperor, is it?" Gu Wuhuan said sarcastically. Thinking back on Dabao's strange expression just now, it turned out that this father and son had a secret.

Liu Jingcheng just smiled without saying anything, thinking about the situation at that time: "Boy, you must keep it for me..." When he came back, she didn't come to take it back, and he himself didn't want to mention it, so he just kept it hanging around his neck.

"It's so late, why are you coming to me instead of going home to hug your roomful of beautiful wives and concubines?" Liu Jingcheng glanced at her with disgust.

"Can I come and have a drink with you?" Gu Wuhuan was most afraid of mentioning his beautiful wife and concubines at home. There was a house full of women, all fighting with each other, making a lot of noise. They all competed for position in front of him, but no one treated him sincerely. He felt annoyed when he talked about them.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gotten married or taken a concubine.

"Bullyed by a woman again?" Liu Jingcheng laughed.
