Chapter 23 Unexpected News

At dawn, Cao Yingshan's bright eyes looked forward to the scene in the bronze mirror.

She was wearing a red silk and satin shirt with flowers, and when the sunlight came through the window, the colorful embroidery was brilliant.

Even her eyebrows were a little lively.

After being together day and night for so long, I could tell without her having to say that the shadow of being poisoned and murdered in her heart was almost gone.

When she first married into Prince Yi's palace, although Cao Yingshan could not remember the old friendship, she was a sensible person. She knew exactly what kind of glory her identity as the concubine of Prince Yi would bring.

She gave up all thoughts about Mr. Fan and got married in high spirits.

I still remember that the day after the wedding, when she was going to serve tea to Mrs. Xu, she looked very proud and said, "I only think of her as the second Mrs. Cao."

It's a pity that Mrs. Xu is not Mrs. Cao, and she is not Aunt You.

Later, she suffered a serious crime due to poisoning, and she felt that Prince Yi was obviously biased towards the Xu family when dealing with her, and she was very frustrated for a while.

However, soon, Mr. Cao stood up for her. Unexpectedly, he caused an uproar, which severely affected the Xu family's limelight, and forced the Xu family to bow to her and show weakness.

Unknowingly, I regained my energy again.

But it is different after all.People's hearts pretend to be one thing, but they cannot pretend to be that. No matter what they pretend to be, they must always have hope.

I guess Mr. Fan has become a concern for her again.

That's why she was so interested in asking me to go beyond the Great Wall. Even if there was a possibility that I wouldn't even be able to see Mr. Fan in person, she still wanted me to go.

Due to illness, she had not gone to Mrs. Xu to perform morning rituals for a long time, and she was too lazy to dress up. It was rare that she got up early today and dressed up carefully.

In the peripheral vision, the smile on her lips was like the cold wind in the cold winter.

It's obviously a scorching summer day, but waves of chills arise in my heart... After all, I'm just a slave... What can I do?Except for a bit of food, I really can't help myself in everything.

I sighed secretly in my heart, and thought to myself, now I am just trying to make a living, so what extravagant hopes do I have?

That being the case, where is the difference?It is serious to be able to eat comfortably.

Thinking like this, I suddenly became enlightened and started thinking about going beyond the Great Wall.

When the little maids saw Cao Yingshan, they were also surprised. They were all stunned before saluting.

When Cao Yingshan was led inside, someone had already rushed in to report.

Soon several deacons' servants came out from inside. When they passed by Cao Yingshan, they all greeted Cao Yingshan with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw the master. He seems to be in good health." As they talked, they kept walking out.

Cao Yingshan paused and asked with a smile: "What are you busy with so early in the morning?"

Several people looked at each other, and a deacon and a maid apologized and said, "It's just chores at home."

At first glance, it looked perfunctory, so Cao Yingshan didn't press any questions, just sneered and walked away.

Mrs. Xu was sitting on the couch, and the window screen was bright and the sunlight filtered through the room. It was reflected on her face. Although she was not beautiful, she was beautiful and dignified, quite graceful and graceful.

When she saw Cao Yingshan, she was not surprised. Cao Yingshan still saluted. Mrs. Xu just said lightly: "Looking at her complexion, she is really well. Sit down." She turned to the maid and said, "Go and make tea for Master Cao."

On the tables next to the couch, there were several sheets of woolen leather.The weather is hot and there is no need for it in the house, so it is prepared for the prince.

Mrs. Xu really treated Wang Yi wholeheartedly.

After chatting for a while, Cao Yingshan said: "I was confused yesterday. The prince is away from home, and we can't take care of him here. It's not that we need to find a few reliable girls to take care of him. Although I can't help much, I can always send a good girl." OK."

Then he looked at me with a smile and said, "This girl Duo'er is doing things very well. I just wanted to let her go." He winked at me.

I bowed my head and kowtowed: "I have many slaves, and I would like to go with the prince to the outside of the Great Wall."

In her ears, she only heard Mrs. Xu saying: "My sister is interested, but there are already enough people. I reported it to the prince yesterday. This girl is your dowry maid, so she is used to it. Although my sister is in good health, she is still in hot weather." , How can I do it without a caring person by my side? Even if my sister is willing, I will never accept it. "

Cao Yingshan said: "It doesn't matter if one more person goes, so let her go. It is also doing my part. I have enough maids in the house, and besides, I don't have an extra maid as my dowry girl. She is also wise."

Mrs. Xu said: "It's okay if my sister doesn't mention Huixin. I don't dare to use Duo'er when she mentions it. Although I don't often go to your place, I know that all the big and small things in your house are pointed at her. .As long as my sister has this heart, that’s all.”

Back in her courtyard, Cao Yingshan became more and more angry as she thought about it, pacing back and forth in the room.

After a long while, he said: "They also said that she is not jealous and domineering, even if she sends a maid, she is domineering! Do you think I don't know what she is thinking? Isn't it just that I don't want the prince to have my people around me! Duo'er, tell me. , is she stingy? Is she bullying me everywhere? "

I said: "The days are long in the future, why should we get angry over these trivial matters? The road is far away and the horse power is known. As time goes by, justice will be in the heart."

Cao Yingshan looked back at me and said, "Are you happy?"

I met her gaze and said, "You are the master. When you are happy, I will be happy. If you are not happy, I will not be happy either."

She stared at me for a while, snorted softly, and sat at the table to drink tea.

One day later, when I was making the bed, Cao Yingshan came back from outside, sat down angrily, and cursed: "I didn't know they were wearing a pair of trousers, and they made up the same words to coax me! It's not a big deal, but they are guarding me like this." !”

After listening for a while, I realized that it was because I was asked to go outside the Great Wall.

Cao Yingshan went to see King Yi again.

I was stunned for a moment, and I was also secretly surprised. This was indeed not a big deal. Why did Prince Yi refuse?

Although she was not angry, Cao Yingshan had no choice but to give up this idea.

In the evening, a servant girl came over and said that my family was looking for me outside.

My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't contain my joy anymore. I quickly asked the maid, "A young boy? About eleven or twelve years old?" She nodded, and I smiled and said, "That may be my brother."

I thanked the maid, hurried back to the house, said something to Cao Yingshan, and ran out quickly.

When I ran to the back door, I saw a young man waiting there.

When he saw me, he smiled and said, "I was afraid of causing trouble to the girl, so I didn't dare to ask anyone to tell me my identity. I would disappoint the girl. However, if my young master lets the girl take care of her, it concerns the girl's family."

This boy belongs to Mr. Fan. I have met him two or three times.

Listening to what he said, I couldn't say a word. I just widened my eyes and waited for him to say.
