The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 18
The maid handed Lian Xin a money bag and a small package, Lian Xin opened it and said, "There is half a piece of cloth in the package, and there is only half a sling of silver in the money bag."

Lian Xin was a little unhappy, and said to the servant girl, "Why are you only paying half the money again? The weather is about to change, and half a bolt of cloth is not enough to make clothes."

The servant girl was not happy when she heard it, and she yelled back: "Madam gave so much, if you are not satisfied, you can ask Madam for it."

"Presumptuous." Xi Wanqing suddenly reprimanded angrily.

The servant girl never expected that a silly girl like Xi Wanqing would dare to yell at her, so she trembled in fright. In the past, she never dared to say anything, and Madam gave her as much as she liked.

Xi Wanqing went on to say: "According to the regulations of the Hou Mansion, the monthly silver for the first lady is ten taels, and the monthly silver for the concubine is five taels. You, a lowly maid, have given half of the silver to this lady, and you dare to slander your mother for only giving so much?" No one knows, no one knows, my mother is generous and benevolent, and treats the concubine daughter of the mansion as her own, do you want to ruin my mother's reputation, you lowly servant girl, and don't hurry up and hand over the money."

Although Xi Wanqing's words were forceful and intimidating, but his actions were foolish, and he pretended to show his hand, asking the maid for five taels of silver.

Seeing Xi Wanqing's stupid look, a sarcastic smile quickly crossed the maid's face.

Xi Wanqing stared at the maid with a gloomy face. If she dared to ridicule her, she had to have the courage to bear her anger.

Of course that maid didn't have five taels of silver for Xi Wanqing, so Xi Wanqing took advantage of the situation to stare at the maid.

"Lian Xin, teach this lowly maid a lesson for mother."

The servant girl shrank back when she heard the words.

Lian Xin remembered her young lady's warning that she had to become more courageous, so she mustered up the courage to step forward, raised her palm, and "slapped" several slaps on the maidservant's face.

After Lian Xin finished beating, Xi Wanqing was very satisfied, and quietly gave her a look of praise, Lian Xin suddenly felt that it was so comfortable to slap these sluts and bad guys in the face, what the lady said was right, one should not be too weak , for Miss, she will definitely become stronger.

After a few slaps, the maid's face became red and swollen like a ripe apple, and Lian Xin's five fingers were clearly printed on it.

The servant girl was extremely dissatisfied with being slapped, but she didn't dare to say any more.

Xi Wanqing instructed Lian Xin, "Take her with you, we will go to the East Courtyard to find our mother to make decisions, and see how mother will deal with this group of dog slaves who are full of selfish pockets."

After Xi Wanqing finished speaking, she walked in front with light, broken steps, and Lian Xin pushed the maid to follow behind.

The position of the Crown Prince of Nanheng Kingdom is still vacant. All the princes are trying their best to win over the powerful to expand their respective powers. Marriage is the safest way.

As one of the most important princes, Feng Yixiao is talented in both civil and military affairs, and he is also a descendant of the empress. He yearns for the position of crown prince even more in his heart, and he is bound to win it.

This time, he voluntarily lowered his status to visit Xi Bojian, Marquis of Anguo. In fact, he did not want to drink too much. Back then, the old Marquis could be said to have fought side by side with the late emperor on the battlefield, fought bloody battles, and made great contributions to the Nanheng Kingdom. Although the new Anguo Hou Xi Bojian is far less famous than the old Hou Ye, but with the importance attached to the old Hou Ye by the late emperor, the Anguo Hou Mansion still has a pivotal position in the court, and Xi Bojian can say a few words. sentence.

After Feng Yixiao met Xi Bojian today, he briefly talked with him for a while, and then he was accompanied by Xi Zhuyan to the garden.

Xi Zhuyan has always had her eyes above the top, and she is the number one beauty in Nanheng Country. She is used to using small means to win people's hearts. Her reputation is well-known in Nanheng Country. She is not even bothered to look straight at ordinary officials and eunuchs. Take a look.

I saw that at this time, there was a man and a woman playing with a maid in the east courtyard with great interest. The man was Nanheng Guosu King, Feng Yixiao, and the woman was Xi Zhuyan.

In order to show off her demeanor in front of Feng Yixiao today, Xi Zhuyan dressed up meticulously all morning.

I saw a part of her black silk rolled up and combed into a lily bun, and part of the blue silk was draped softly around her waist. A pair of phoenixes and phoenixes were inserted into the lily bun with golden steps. Underneath, the whole body is glowing with golden light, as if it wants to spread its wings and fly away. A pair of butterfly-shaped pure gold hollow earrings are hanging on the ears. When the breeze blows, the pair of butterflies are as light as a thin piece of paper, and their wings flap one by one. Yes, it seems to be playing in the flowers. This set of jewelry is exactly the famous supreme confidante. It is something that women all over the world hope for. It is not only exquisite in workmanship, but also hidden in the universe. I am afraid that Xi Zhuyan may not know this. Usually used as jewelry.

A brocade skirt with dark flowers and clouds set off Xi Zhuyan, with picturesque eyebrows, waist like a willow, tall and slender, and a purple gauze as thin as silkworm wings over the skirt, which made Xi Zhuyan's beauty look charming. A bit unreal and ethereal.

Xi Wanqing saw from a distance that Xi Zhuyan and others were admiring the garden over there, and deliberately took Lianqiao and the maid to Xi Zhuyan's side.

"Qing'er has met His Royal Highness Su Wang and the second sister."

"I have met His Highness, I have seen Second Miss." Xi Wanqing and others approached, and bowed to Feng Yixiao and Xi Zhuyan.

"Exemption." Feng Yixiao replied flatly with no expression on his face.

Xi Wanqing straightened her body and slowly raised her head. After seeing Feng Yixiao's face clearly, she deliberately showed an obsessed look, without blinking her eyes.

Today, Feng Yixiao is wearing a silver-white brocade gown with python pattern. She is tall and straight, with silver thread trim around the neckline and cuffs. Around her waist is a beautiful and luxurious white jade belt inlaid with precious stones. A carved and hollowed-out jade pendant hangs under the belt.

Feng Yixiao's appearance is also extremely outstanding, with sharp facial contours, eyebrows carved like swords, a pair of peach blossom eyes under the eyebrows, slightly feminine, a high nose bridge, a thin lip that is also ingeniously born, and a pure gold hairpin. Living in Qingsi, it looks like a jade tree Lingfeng.

Seeing Xi Wanqing's obsession, Xi Zhuyan sneered inwardly: "It's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, so he dares to miss King Su with this idiot."

"Fifth Sister came to the East Courtyard, why?" Although Xi Zhuyan was extremely annoyed with Xi Wanqing, but because of Feng Yixiao's presence, she couldn't lose her sister-in-law's demeanor, which would damage her reputation of gentleness and virtuousness that she had cultivated for many years. She still asked with a smile.

Asked by Xi Zhuyan, Xi Wanqing immediately withdrew her obsessed eyes, and immediately said with aggrieved face: "Second sister, you have to make decisions for my sister, my sister's monthly silver is obviously five taels a month, plus Some daily necessities, but this lowly maid, this lowly maid went to distribute the monthly order today, but she only gave her sister half a penny and half a piece of cloth, and said that her mother only gave her so much. Mother."

While Xi Wanqing was speaking, she pulled out the maid just now from behind.
