Chapter 284
"princess"
Madam Lou tentatively said, "You can't bear to see Concubine Ji die, but the matter of having an heir is of great importance and can no longer be delayed.
It would be better to carefully select an honest and decent woman, and when she gives birth to a child, you can raise her as your own. This way you won't have any grudges against Concubine Ji. How good is that?
"Mammy, I heard you say this a few years ago. Several women in the mansion entered the mansion this way, but do I have a child now?"
Nanny Lou: ...Aren’t you too picky, Princess?
How can this child be perfect?
"Princess, this time is different. I think it will definitely work this time!"
This really aroused the princess's interest: "Tell me about it."
Aunt Lou was overjoyed and began to introduce: "This girl, she is gentle and delicate, and her emotions are reserved."
She won’t be like Ji the vixen, crying and making trouble in front of people at any time!
"She was a poor girl, sold here by her family."
"Although she has some small thoughts, it doesn't matter. She is not a wicked person."
After hearing all the sweet talk from Madam Lou, the princess finally gave in: "Who is this person? Even if she has a good personality, if her appearance is not outstanding, it won't work if the prince doesn't like her."
When choosing a woman for the prince, she must be good-looking and meet his preferences, and more importantly, she must have a sense of propriety.
"Princess, you have also seen this woman. She is one of the prince's concubines, Ninglan."
The princess recalled and instantly lost interest: "It's her!" The princess also knew this woman, who kowtowed and paid respects outside every day.
There are a lot of little thoughts.
Knowing that the princess did not like to adopt the children of the maids in the mansion because it would involve various servants and relatives, which would be too troublesome, Madam Lou quickly added:
"This girl was sold here by her family. She has no relatives in the mansion. Her biological mother is gone, and her father married a stepmother, who instigated her to sell her off."
It turned out to be the case.
The princess nodded.
Ning Lan, who was shivering in the cold wind outside, hugged her arms, her beautiful eyes fixed on the movements in the yard, afraid of missing the opportunity.
Soon, Nanny Lou came out.
She looked around and finally waved in the direction of Ninglan.
When Ninglan saw the princess, she suppressed her excitement and knelt down to pay her respects in a very gentle and humble manner.
"Meet the Princess"
The princess glanced at her casually and said lazily, "Get up!"
After asking the other party a few questions, the princess rewarded him with a hairpin and let him go.
Unsure of the princess's attitude, Ninglan suddenly became anxious and worried. When she was about to be asked to leave by the maid, she gritted her teeth and kowtowed solemnly.
"Princess, I am willing to serve you like a dog and a horse. If I am lucky enough to give birth to a child for the prince, I am afraid that I am not able to raise the little master due to my humble status."
The princess seemed not to hear: "Take him away!"
Before Ninglan could say anything, she was dragged out by the maid.
Nanny Lou anxiously glanced at her countless times, but in the end, she was just throwing her eyes at a blind man and the other party didn't receive a single one!
After the servants left, Madam Lou asked again, "Princess, what do you think of Ninglan? Is she useful?"
The princess smiled slowly: "Mammy, I heard that the charcoal quota for the concubines is too small, so let Ning Lan come here more often!"
"Great!"
Madam Lou also laughed: "Then I will ask the palace doctor to prescribe some pregnancy-maintaining medicine so that Ninglan can get pregnant as soon as possible."
"Need not"
The princess shook her head and rejected it.
Need not?
Nanny Lou was surprised: "Princess, didn't you say you wanted to adopt her..." If she doesn't get pregnant quickly, how can she adopt her child?
If you give birth to a girl after ten months of pregnancy, don’t you have to have another baby right away?
If you calculate the time, how can it be enough?
When this child is born, how many people will the prince's eldest son be able to know along with the prince?
Although Madam Lou wanted to take care of her niece who had deliberately bumped into her, in her heart, the most important person was of course her master.
The princess slowly revealed a beautiful smile: "Mammy, if the prince has a new love, do you think of Ji again?"
Nanny Lou suddenly understood.
That's it!
"Master is really amazing. By then, the prince will definitely never think of Concubine Ji again. Even if he thinks of her occasionally, he will definitely not dote on her as much as before."
The lesson from the past is Concubine Xu Shu, who was once very favored in the palace. Isn’t the prince treating her the same now?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the princess' move was a brilliant one. "Let's see how long that little vixen can continue to be so arrogant now that the prince has lost his backing!"
She really felt relieved!
Originally I thought the princess was too soft-hearted, but I didn't expect that the princess would hit the snake in its most vulnerable part, leaving that little slut who was used to hooking up with men with no chance of turning things around.
"Princess, from now on, that little slut will behave obediently in front of you and will never dare to act like a demon again."
The princess nodded, with a look of determination in her eyes: "Mammy, what you said... Ji Shi saw the prince's cruel heart, and she is a spoiled and troubled person,
Knowing that the prince is unreliable, who will she depend on then?"
Madam Lou didn't think too much about it. She grinned and laughed: "Of course I depend on you, Princess.
By then, maybe the child will offer himself to you, Princess, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Quiet!
Just thinking about it will relieve your anger!
Nanny Lou can't wait any longer.
Thinking of what he was about to do, he said, "Princess, I will go check whether what Concubine Ji said is true or not. Don't let her deceive you."
After all the talk, Nanny Lou still didn't believe what Ji Yunqing said.
The princess didn't care about this and followed the nanny.
Two days later, Madam Lou told the princess with an indescribable look on her face:
"Concubine Ji lied to you, but it wasn't a big lie."
What does it mean?
Lou Ma continued, "I have tried my best to find out, and it turns out that the prince and concubine Ji had a quarrel that day, and there was a maid guarding the night.
That maid doesn't go out often, but luckily she came out today, so I scared her and got the truth out of her."
The princess was curious: "What is it?"
"Concubine Ji didn't tell the truth. It was actually the Fourth Young Master who was pooping and peeing, so the Prince was so angry."
princess:"……"
She couldn't eat today.
Speaking of Ji Yunqing
She left the princess's main courtyard and went back to explain everything to the maid who was on night watch that night.
"If someone asks you, don't rush to tell them. Wait until you can't bear it anymore, then tell them. Don't worry, this sounds very real, and no one will doubt it."
The little maid nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, master, I remember everything." She clenched her hands tightly, making sure to remember what her master said.
"It's great to have you around, I feel most at ease!"
As Ji Yunqing spoke, he gently patted the top of the head of the maid Jinbao.
"I can't give you too much money these days. I'm worried that when someone asks you a question, they might think I gave you money to deliberately lie. This is not good for both you and me.
After a while, when the storm is over during the New Year, I will quietly make it up to you and make sure that our Jinbao will not suffer any loss!"
In order to reassure Jinbao, she even gave an example: "Didn't we just receive more than 2,300 taels a few days ago? We have money in our yard!"
Jinbao was indeed relieved, and she did not let her master down.
In the past few days, more than one person came to see her quietly.
