No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

In the blink of an eye, it is the Little New Year.

God is kind enough to make it a sunny day today.

Fu Jin was sick a while ago, and it was snowing, so she felt cold to the bones lying in bed.

Seeing the warm sunshine at this time, he asked someone to open the window.

Seeing that there was no wind outside, the maid Zhenzhu did not try to persuade her and opened the window.

There was a blanket of snow outside. The young eunuch had cleared the snow from the ground in the morning, sweeping out a path two people wide.

Maids and old women passed by the window back and forth, occasionally saying a few words and a cloud of white mist appeared.

Fu Jin looked listless and asked, "Where's Aunt Gui? Why hasn't she come yet?"

Pearl and the other four maids grew up with her, but they were not as close to her as the wet nurse.

In the past, when she was sick, she liked to lie on Aunt Gui's arms, which made her feel much better without taking medicine.

"This..." Zhenzhu wanted to hide it and hesitated.

Fu Jin's eyes sharpened: "What's going on? What happened to Mammy?"

Zhenzhu said thoughtfully, "Madame Gui fell down yesterday..."

"Wrestling?" Fu Jin started to speculate, digging deeper into the matter. "Tell me everything!"

Nanny Gui lived in the east wing next to her and rarely left the yard, so how could she have fallen?

Pearl had no choice but to explain the whole story.

It turns out that the wind and snow have been strong these days, so people are moving less.

Plus, it was freezing cold, and if everyone didn't find something to do, they wouldn't be able to keep watch all night.

It's okay to be served in the master's room. The heating is on so I won't get cold.

But the women guarding the four gates of the main courtyard had a hard time. It made no difference whether the charcoal brazier was lit or not.

Who can stay like this?

The people below are also human beings and they also want to have fun.

Since no one was coming, the maid at the gatehouse spent money to buy some more charcoal and invited people she knew to come and gamble.

Although they are bold, they are also cautious and always wait until their masters go to bed before starting to gamble.

In this kind of weather, the masters are all asleep, so there is no need for the servants to go out.

Very safe.

Nanny Gui also likes this, but she needs to accompany the concubine all year round, so she can only play such lively gambling a few times a year.

It just so happened that the lady-in-waiting was ill during this period, and she was not asked to serve her at night, so she had some free time.

After a few old sisters with whom I have a good relationship called me, I felt at ease to go and have fun.

Unexpectedly, last night, Su Peisheng came to deliver a fox fur coat to Fu Jin in the middle of the night on the orders of his master.

At that time, Su Peisheng and others were knocking on the door outside the house. There was a charcoal fire burning in the house, and the gamblers were almost sweating.

Nanny Gui didn't expect to be so unlucky as to meet this group of servants in the front yard.

This is gambling, and it's led by her, the concubine's wet nurse. If she is discovered, the concubine will have no face left in the backyard.

Aunt Gui was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat.

No, she wants to escape and must not be caught by Su Peisheng!

After all, it is the main courtyard, and the gatehouse is not small, otherwise it cannot accommodate so many people gambling.

There are people blocking the way outside, so I can't get out.

The old woman guarding the gate suddenly had an idea and pointed to the half-person-high window, indicating that Nanny Gui should climb out through the window.

Aunt Gui is old, how can she do this?

But at this time Su Peisheng had already ordered people to kick the door, and if he didn't turn it over, he would be caught in the trap.

Everyone worked together to send Aunt Gui out.

But it was just sent out.

After falling out, Aunt Gui can only rely on herself.

Because she was old and had never climbed a wall before, she fell pretty hard.

But with the determination not to embarrass Fu Jin, she still struggled and ran back to the room.

Of course, the doorman was also caught in the act.

Fu Jin's eyes went dark after hearing this: "...Mammy went to gamble, and...and almost got caught?!"

She knew about Aunt Gui's little hobby.

She also often asked the maid in the house to play with the nanny to make her happy.

In the end, everyone took the winner's share, and Fu Jin covered the losses for the losers, which made everyone satisfied.

I didn't expect that even in such a situation, Aunt Gui would still go out to study in the heavy snow?!

I heard that a few days ago, people gambled until dawn.

I remember when Aunt Gui was on duty some time ago, she was always yawning and had tears in her eyes.

She thought the nanny was worried about her health and that she didn't sleep well at night and felt tired during the day.

Yesterday I specifically asked her to go to bed after dinner.

did not expect......

Fu Jin's face was grim. Zhenzhu looked up and couldn't help but say, "Mammy, you're lucky you didn't get caught."

"There were a total of twenty-eight servants caught gambling this time, twenty of whom were from the main courtyard."

These maids, old women and eunuchs were gathered in the garden in the morning, and one by one they were forced to take off their pants and beaten with a stick.

All the servants in the prince's mansion were called to watch the execution. Each person was hit with twenty boards that were so thick that his buttocks were almost broken.

Aunt Gui just fell and is feeling much better now.

"What?!" Fu Jin became alert. "Twenty of them are from the main courtyard?! Then where are the others from?"

other people?

Of course, the other people couldn't be from other courtyards, because they wouldn't be stupid enough to come to the main courtyard to gamble.

The other eight people either grow flowers and raise horses, or work in the kitchen.

In other words, the only ones who are embarrassed are the main courtyard and her, the one in charge of the backyard!

The main courtyard is her territory, and the backyard is managed by her.

With such a big problem, Fu Jin could no longer sit still and immediately asked for details.

After combing it through, she sneered: "Oh, what a good Su Peisheng!"

"What do you mean by giving me a fur coat? It's obvious that I'm just trying to cause trouble!"

After hearing this, Pearl wanted to cover her ears but dared not listen.

Who is Su Peisheng? He is the Fourth Master’s man.

If he comes to cause trouble, it means... the Fourth Master comes to cause trouble.

"Master, are you deliberately embarrassing me?!" Fu Jin was a little confused, but more angry.

The Fourth Master has such a bad temper. I don't know where he got angry, but now he takes it out on her!

There was no one in the room. Fu Jin scolded for a while, which made Zhenzhu frightened.

After Fu Jin calmed down, she asked cautiously: "Fu Jin, was it not some time ago that Aunt Gui went to reprimand that person..."

When Nanny Gui went to Linfengju with such a high and mighty manner, Zhenzhu felt something was wrong.

But after all, Aunt Gui was the person that Fu Jin trusted the most, so she didn't dare to interrupt.

Now that I think about it, was it Lin who was stirring up trouble in front of the Fourth Master, which caused him to get angry and come to the main courtyard?

Fu Jin was stunned for a moment, then turned and asked, "Has the book copied by Lin arrived?"

She felt that the punishment was not severe, just copying some books, not even a salary deduction or house arrest.

Lin is a smart person. Would she offend the Fourth Master over such a small matter?

Pearl shook her head: "No, she hasn't sent it yet. I heard that she can't even write..."

"Can't write?!" Fu Jin's face turned pale.

It turns out...it turned out that the Fourth Master was venting her anger!
