Chapter 182 Complaint
At the critical moment, Hongdou gritted her teeth and wanted to take the slap. When she closed her eyes, she was suddenly pulled open by someone.
Hongdou didn't wait for the slap. She opened her eyes tentatively, but saw that it was Hongfeng who pulled her away.
Hong Feng asked her with concern: "Are you okay?"
Hongdou shook her head: "I'm fine"
She was very anxious. Hong Feng pulled her away. This time, Concubine He would definitely target Hong Feng.
Considering that Concubine He was still there, Hongdou did not dare to call out Hongfeng's name, for fear that Concubine He would remember her and cause more trouble for Hongfeng.
Concubine He looked in front of her and saw another little maid coming.
This little maid has a melon-seed face and willow-shaped eyebrows, and she looks quite charming.
At this time, the two maids sympathized with each other and cared about each other.
Concubine He set her eyes on the new maid.
"Humph, what a deep sisterly love! If someone didn't know, they would think I was bullying you!"
Hong Feng first bowed to Concubine He, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Concubine He, this is the Osmanthus Courtyard. If this little maid does something wrong, the master will naturally punish her. At worst, there is still the housekeeper."
Concubine He lowered her eyes and fiddled with her well-maintained hands over and over again. She always felt that her hands should be exercised more, such as being slapped.
"I am also the master. According to what you said, I am just punishing a maid. Can't I do it?"
"I am just telling the truth. I will go to my master to accept the punishment. The prince is here too. Maybe he will punish me two more times for my master. Are you happy about this?"
As soon as she heard that she was going to meet the prince, Concubine He immediately concluded that she was careless!
It seems that these two maids want to step on her to get to the top, intending to gain the prince's pity.
It’s not like she had not met such scheming maids in the general’s mansion before, and some of them had succeeded. They really were dreaming!
Seeing that Hong Feng and the other two were about to leave, Concubine He immediately shouted to stop them: "Don't go!"
It was visibly that the two maids were frightened, and then one pulled the other and ran faster.
Concubine He was raised in the general's mansion and was pampered. It was only after she entered the prince's palace that she began to restrain her temper. How could she have ever seen such a unruly servant?
Her chest was shaking with anger.
"Come back!"
"Someone, bring them back to me!"
But these were all servants of Guihua Courtyard, so they were just pretending. They even blocked their way intentionally or unintentionally when Concubine He directed her two maids to chase after someone.
After a while, the two maids Hongfeng and Hongdou disappeared completely.
The two maids ran to a remote room, turned around and observed that no one was chasing them. They then breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground in fear.
Hongdou asked worriedly, "What should we do? Are we causing trouble for the master?"
Hong Feng waved her hands. She was always bold. "It's okay. The master won't let us stand there and get beaten. Will the master be happy if you get beaten?"
She glanced at the honest Hongdou, who was still worried, so she advised: "Be smart in the future, move the master out, and run away if it really doesn't work."
Anko nodded, but she still didn't want to cause trouble for her master.
After resting for a while, Hong Feng stood up and pulled Hong Dou: "Let's go find Aunt An."
The master is with the prince now, so they cannot complain, but they have to tell Nanny An about this matter.
Fortunately, Concubine He waited for a while and did not see anyone coming to "invite" her, so she was barely relieved.
"They are quite sensible and know not to make a big deal out of it!"
Just like that, Concubine He started wandering around again.
But he no longer entered Ji Yunqing's room.
On the other side, while Concubine He was making trouble, Concubine Cen secretly winked at her maid, who nodded slightly and slipped into the study when no one was paying attention.
After a while, the maid came out again pretending nothing had happened, and stood behind her master as if she had never left.
Concubine Cen breathed a sigh of relief, it's done!
She glanced at the angry concubine He again. Fortunately, she had this idiot to help her, otherwise she would have to find a way to attract people's attention.
As it happened, a maid came to invite them, and Concubine Cen walked to Concubine He and said with a smile: "Sister He, let's go together and see what important things Concubine Ji has to say."
Concubine He's son now dislikes everyone, especially the prince's women.
Hearing her words, he said in a hard tone: "You are just a concubine, what is there to be proud of?"
After saying that, he just flicked his sleeves and left alone.
This made Concubine Cen very angry.
Is she just a concubine?
Then what are you?
Isn’t she also a concubine whom he looks down upon?
But she didn't dare to offend Concubine He easily. It was easy to offend Concubine He, but it was inappropriate to offend the General's Mansion.
After all, she always has to consider her parents' home.
When Cen Xi and her maid came to Prince Zhao, they happened to see Concubine Zhao chatting and laughing with the prince. Concubine Gao beside them also changed her usual reserved image and smiled gently to agree.
Concubine Qian stood aside, looking at the two of them with jealous eyes.
The concubine He, who had just arrived, pushed the two of them aside and came to the side of King Zhao, holding a handkerchief and covering her chest weakly: "Your Highness, I finally see you. I was so scared just now."
She couldn't let the maidservant complain, but she could bring it up herself, so that the matter wouldn't be brought up later and Ji Yunqing wouldn't have anything to hold against her.
Since she said so, Ji Yunqing would of course ask: "Concubine He, what happened to you? Tell me,
Come to think of it, I have lived in this yard for so long and have never been scared before! "
When she said this, it was as if Concubine He was making a fuss out of nothing.
She was very angry and couldn't swallow this breath at all. She said sarcastically: "That's Concubine Ji. I don't know that it was Concubine Ji's maid who scared me just now. That was really powerful.
Since when did the master not even have the power to say a word? "
Ji Yunqing had already found an opportunity to listen to Nanny An's story. She smiled and said, "Oh? Weren't you the first one to show off in my yard?"
Concubine He didn't expect that she actually knew about this, so she said stubbornly, "...How could I have that?"
"You have it, you have it everywhere. According to you, the maids in my courtyard will not trouble Concubine Cen, Concubine Zhao, or Concubine Gao.
You won't bother Qian Shiqi, you won't bother the prince, and you won't bother me, will you? "
"you……"
Concubine He was so angry that she looked at Prince Zhao with red eyes: "My Lord, look at her!"
King Zhao looked at Ji Yunqing as he was told, then looked at Concubine He: "Alright, stop making trouble."
Concubine He wanted to say something else, but King Zhao said, "Go back to your courtyard if you continue to make trouble!"
Concubine He didn't dare to speak for a moment.
She looked at the box that Ji Yunqing took out and asked curiously, "What's in it?"
The workmanship is average, the wood is average, and there's even dirt on the corners. How shabby!
