Chapter 144 It depends on Yinzhen
Concubine Yi raised her eyelids and smiled faintly, "I am jealous and I just had evil thoughts." She looked at Tala and said, "I know. Ruoxiang, you should go back home and have a good rest."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will take her leave," the Fifth Lady stood up, slowly backed away to the door, then turned and left.
After the Fifth Lady left, Qiu Ling came forward with milk tea, "Master, this... Master, are you really not going to remind the Ninth Lady?" Qiu Ling still liked the Ninth Lady very much. It was not because of the Ninth Prince, but because every time the Ninth Lady sent food, there would be a small portion for them, the servants. The portion was small, but it was all there.
How many people can think of these servants? So far, only the Ninth Lady is involved. The others just occasionally put on a show in front of their masters to get some rewards, or ask these servants to find out about their masters' affairs!
Concubine Yi laughed out loud, took a sip of milk tea, and looked in the direction of Qiu Ling, "The servants around me were all captured by the things Wen Yao sent, and you're... distressed?"
Qiu Ling looked at her master's face and knew that she didn't blame him. She smiled and replied, "I'm not heartbroken, Master. You used the wrong word. But I won't hide it from you. I feel that Ninth Lady has a similar temperament to you. She is very direct and doesn't want to beat around the bush. When I face Ninth Lady, I don't feel like I'm offending her. I feel more... comfortable."
"What's good about being like me?" Concubine Yi continued to drink her milk tea, a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes. She was favored as soon as she entered the palace. She was arrogant and looked down on everyone. She was direct and didn't beat around the bush? If she was really like this, she would have died countless times long ago. She just gave people a bright side so that people couldn't see her dark side under this bright side.
All of this was done with the death of her sister, which allowed her to grow up little by little. She had a good relationship with her sister. No matter how good the relationship was, when both of them had children, they would put their own children first, not to mention that they were in the palace.
The Guoluo family puts themselves first and all resources are centered around themselves. How could her sister be willing to do that? In fact, if no one instigates her, she can secretly support her sister and everything will be fine.
But how could there be sisters of one mind in the palace? Especially when one of the sisters was a favorite concubine, this was a secret rule that was not allowed in the harem. At that time, she had Yinqi and Yinluo, her sister had Kejing and Yin?, the Guoluo lineage had three princes, Yinqi was raised by the empress dowager, and Khorchin was behind her.
In a game between the former dynasty and the harem, her sister and Yinzhen were gone. Yinzhen was weak since childhood and died early. She avenged him, but that was just a jealous nobleman, who was just a scapegoat.
It was Concubine Xi who was responsible for the death of her elder sister. She wanted to harm her elder sister in order to raise Yinzhen, but she was taken advantage of by others. However, Concubine Xi could not do anything because she was a member of the Hesheli clan.
However, Concubine Xi completely fell out of favor. As for the mastermind behind the incident, Concubine Yi didn't want to find out, nor did she want to know. Perhaps she was deceiving herself. The fact that there was nothing in the family explained everything.
Concubine Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Wen Yao doesn't need me to remind her. Does Old Fifth Lady want to see Wen Yao make a fool of herself? Haha..." Concubine Yi didn't say anything else. "Let's go for a walk outside."
It is impossible for a person to not grow at all, but the price of growth...only oneself knows how much suffering one has endured.
As darkness gradually fell, Yinzhen returned to the prince's residence and looked at the things his wife had prepared for him. "Why don't you order a few more black ones? Are we going to eat in the dark?"
There were only two candles on the table, flickering in the candlelight. It was indeed quite dark, but with the moonlight, it did have a different flavor, in Wen Yao's opinion.
"No need to light the lamps, all of you go down, come here, I specially prepared this," Wen Yao stood up and pulled Yinzhen to sit down, "This is called romance, just the two of us have a midnight snack, look at the moon, and drink some wine."
"Romantic? Is it about smearing food, or not being allowed to eat more? The person who invented this kind of romance must not eat well," Yinzhen looked at the plate of meat and noodles in front of him. There was only one piece of meat, and it was not big. Yinzhen poked it, venison?
Even if it is venison, who can eat such a piece!
[Romance is to enhance the relationship between two people, not for eating! ] Wen Yao glared at Yinzhen, this man is absolutely insulated from romance!
"Okay, that's fine," Yinzhen listened to his wife's roar in her heart and decided to do what he wanted. "You look pretty good in this way."
"If you don't know how to talk, don't talk. I'm good-looking anyway," Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen, "Can't you say something else? For example, how much I love you? Look at how much I've prepared!"
Yinzhen glanced at the piece of venison and a chopstick of noodles, "..." He couldn't tell how sorry he was to prepare such a small amount of food. He raised his eyelids and said, "Yaoyao, in fact, some things...we should take the essence and discard the dross, understand?"
"you dislike me?"
"I didn't! Yaoyao prepared it so well," Yinzhen picked up the venison with chopsticks and took a few bites. "It's really delicious when roasted. The noodles are delicious too." He finished it all in a few bites. "Yaoyao, you eat. After that, we'll prepare a hot pot."
"..." Wen Yao felt that it was unnecessary to be romantic. "The hot pot is ready. I asked someone to prepare it in case you don't have enough to eat." Fortunately, she was more careful. In fact, she was afraid that she would not have enough to eat.
Wen Yao ate venison and lowered her voice, "Today I felt that Fifth Sister-in-law was a little too enthusiastic towards me. You know I am quite sensitive to other people's emotions, so I came back to check. Guess what I found?"
Yinzhen really couldn't guess, so he picked up the noodles and started eating, "What did you find out? Did Fifth Sister-in-law ask you to do something?"
Wen Yao watched as her noodles were eaten up. She ate the venison in a few bites and said, "No way. It's like this..." Wen Yao told Yinzhen in detail what she had found out. "Master, when the time comes, you have to make sure that you and the person they pushed in are not within the fifth degree of mourning."
"Do you really want someone to come in?" Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao with a hint of doubt.
"No, I don't want you to take a concubine, but if you want to take a concubine I can't stop you. Even though you said before that a princess would get 300,000, if you really give it to me, will you really ask the emperor for 300,000?" Wen Yao shook her head, "No one else will pay that much money."
Yinzhen felt relieved immediately after hearing this. He didn't know why he was unhappy just now. Now that he was in a good mood, he had the mind to think about the calculations of these people. "It's Hexike and that cousin again," thinking about the last words of his wife just now, "If other people are forced to send people, the amount will be doubled to 600,000 taels. It's not that I can't accept it. After all, I am doing it out of filial piety. I will reduce it by half for my father and mother, but others will not have this treatment."
