Red makeup against the world

Chapter 572 each with their own minds

When I arrived at the Princess Mansion, there were carved beams and painted buildings, and the trees were shady.It could be seen that Concubine Fu Xian devoted all her love to this daughter.Except that the regulation is not as good as Zhaoyang Princess Mansion, the comfort inside is not bad at all.

What's more special is that most of the flowers, plants and trees planted in the courtyard are herbs that can be used as medicine. The breeze blows, and the nose smells bursts of medicine.

Chun and the princess are very talkative, especially with this niece whom Su Liangzhi loves to the core.She led the way in front and introduced the medicinal herbs planted along the way with great interest.

"Really, the root of such an inconspicuous herb is Poria cocos. The Poria cocos cakes in our mansion are all grown by ourselves. They are carefully raised and taste better than the outside. Look at this, it is sealwort, but unfortunately some The water and soil are not acclimatized, so far only these few plants have survived."

She laughed and talked, knowing the medicinal properties of these herbs and the environment needed for growth, and she just said it.With her introduction, Su Liangzhi only added occasionally, looking at her with gentle eyes.

Seeing that the two were like-minded, Xu Wan was really happy for them.Empress Dowager Xiao has a sharp eye for seeing people, and the two are indeed a match made in heaven.Although they seem to have very different identities, they are a rare fit.Perhaps because of Concubine Fu Xian, Empress Dowager Xiao also looked at Princess Chunhe differently, so she thought and planned for her so much.

……

Zhongguo Gongfu, Zhiyuan lives in the house.

The seven or eight side rooms lined up in reverse are where the servants and women live.

In the first few rooms with sufficient light, Madam Zheng and Wen Mulan share one room, Caisi and Sangzi share one room, and Bai Yao and Bai Shan, who were rewarded by Empress Dowager Xiao, share one room.Twelve female guards live in the other four rooms, and they live in three rooms.

Just after getting up from her lunch break, Bai Yao went out to pour the washing water, and when she came back, she saw that Bai Shan was out of her mind, and she was sitting in front of the dressing table, stroking her cheek in a daze.

She hastily put down the copper basin in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't dream! If someone finds out, and sue the empress dowager, you and I will die! Have you forgotten what Liuli said?"

Bai Shan put down the target scope in her hand, raised her index finger and made a "shh" gesture near her mouth.Her brows were flamboyant, her shoulders were slashed and her waist was slashed. With such a simple gesture, Bai Yao's heart skipped a beat.

She was disliked by the empress dowagers in the palace, and no one would like to have such a beauty by their side, maybe one day she would be favored by the emperor and doted upon.Bai Shan is also high-minded, unwilling to be inferior to others, but she didn't find the right time to show her face in front of Emperor Qinglong, so she has always been a second-class court lady, and she didn't even get a female official.

Bai Yao fell silent, and Bai Shan opened the door and went out to check around, before returning to her room and closing the door: "They all went to work. It just so happens that we sisters can have a good talk."

Bai Yao shook her head and said, "I know what you think, but it's impossible. Didn't you see that the second young master only has the second young lady in his eyes."

"Why is it impossible? You are just newly married, and the Second Young Master has been waiting for the Second Young Wife for so long, so he is naturally very affectionate. But there are still two years before we arrive. As long as you are patient enough, there will definitely be a chance."

Bai Yao said angrily: "I think you've lost your head! Did you forget what Liuli told you?"

Bai Shan's eyes were blurred, and she murmured: "I'm in a daze. I couldn't take my eyes away when I first saw the Second Young Master." Before she came, she had never seen Wu Zhengxiang, but yesterday she had a quick meeting. I didn't expect that he was such a heroic and stalwart man. If he could be held in his arms by such strong arms, what would it be like?As Bai Shan thought about it, a red cloud flew over her pretty face.

Seeing her expression like this, Bai Yao knew that Nine Bulls would not be able to pull her back, so she shook her head and sighed: "Just take a look first, I don't think Second Young Master is a person who sees things differently."

"The Second Young Master is the Second Young Madam in my heart. I don't dare to wishful thinking. I just want to serve him for a while." Bai Shan's eyes were straightened, and she analyzed: "Look, when we are full, it will be considered as Liuli promised. The Empress Dowager personally chooses someone to marry, and I don’t know who to marry. It’s almost like hitting a big luck. What if it’s not good? It’s a marriage rewarded by the Empress Dowager, and we can only endure it in silence.”

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled, and she felt that what she said made sense: "Think about it, who are we. The second young lady is the queen mother's heart, because we serve her , the dowry will naturally not be thin, but will the empress dowager personally choose a husband’s family for us? Of course not. Instead of resigning to fate, it is better to take the initiative to seize the visible future."

Hearing her eagerness, Bai Yao couldn't help but want to pour cold water on her: "This is just your wishful thinking, what if it doesn't work? Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"It will definitely happen!" Bai Shan had longing for the future in her eyes, she stretched out her hand to hold Bai Yao, and said, "My dear sister, we are the two of us who know each other best in this mansion, and the others are all from the second young lady's family." You must help me, and you will benefit from me in the future! My father is just a petty official, and he has two concubines in his room. The second son is a dignified second-rank general, and it is impossible not to take concubines in the future. I just need to do it Just one of them."

Bai Yao was moved by what she said, and hesitated for a moment: "I can help you, but it's agreed in advance that if you find out that something can't be done, you have to stop immediately. And, don't drag me down."

Seeing her promise, Bai Shan was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Definitely, definitely!"

"Then what can you do now?"

"Take one step at a time. When the Second Young Madam returns home, she will always arrange an errand for us. As you said, the Second Young Master just got married, so it's not a good time."

Hearing that she would not act impulsively, Bai Yao felt relieved.She wholeheartedly wanted to go out of the palace to be the first husband and wife, but Bai Shan had this plan. If it really worked out, she had a sister who was the concubine of the second son of the Duke of Zhongguo's mansion, so she would have someone to rely on in the future.Therefore, I don't mind giving her some help where she can.

The two discussed a few more words in a low voice, and agreed to stand still and act according to circumstances in the future.

……

Fan Qianqian carried a black lacquered tray with a cup of bird's nest porridge on it, and walked slowly towards the main courtyard where Mrs. Chen was located.

Chen's habit of drinking a bowl of bird's nest porridge after lunch break has not changed, but the person serving the porridge has changed from Mama He to Fan Qianqian.Mother He is very satisfied with Fan Qianqian's obedience.

"Madam, please use porridge." Fan Qianqian gently placed the thin white porcelain cup on the table.

Mother He inserted a red gold hairpin with a lot of silk on Chen's bun, and said, "Ma'am, the porridge is here."

Chen shi casually stirred the porridge with a spoon, thinking secretly.

Xu Wanzhen woke up on the night of her wedding, which overturned all her plans.Now you have to think about what you should do to pry open the tortoise shell of Zhiyuan.
