Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

The eldest lady was very surprised. When she wanted to arrange for a maid to enter his courtyard, he said nothing. Now he actually takes the initiative to ask for someone, and he still wants someone for his second wife. When she asked Mother Xu to find someone for him, she also specifically told her not to go to the second room to look for him, because she just didn't want to get involved with the second sibling.

The eldest lady looked at her eldest son, who stood tall and tall. He was already thirty-three years old this year, and he was at the age where he was in full swing. Her heart skipped a beat when she thought of this, "Tell mother the truth, do you want this maid to live in your house?"

As soon as her words came out, Cui Jun's eyes immediately glared over.

"Where did mother go?" Cui Qiyan began to regret accepting this, and had to explain, "I wanted her to come just to be a maid. She begged me first, otherwise I wouldn't even know about her. .”

After hearing this, the eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little disappointed. It seems that he has no idea of ​​getting married yet.

"How did a maid come to beg you?"

"My second brother wanted to take her as my concubine, but she didn't want to. I heard that my mother was looking for a maid for me, and she was familiar with the two maids in my courtyard, so she asked to come to my house."

Cui Jun frowned, "Since Qi Shao likes someone, why are you getting involved? There are so many maids in the house, and you want to compete with him. Aren't you embarrassing your mother?"

"Let's hear what Qi Yan thinks first." The eldest lady put her hand on Cui Jun's arm and looked directly at Cui Qi Yan. She knew her son well, and he had his own reasons for doing things.

"My son will not embarrass his mother. I will take care of things in advance. It's just that it's inconvenient for me to show up, and I have to bother my mother with this trip."

Cui Qiyan is on his way here

He had already thought of a countermeasure that would allow his mother to intervene in the matter legitimately and force his second aunt to let him go.

"Tell me what you want me to do?" The eldest lady agreed without delving into the reason.

Cui Qiyan told the story from beginning to end, and also told the two of his plans.

After hearing this, the eldest lady agreed with his approach, "This matter can be big or small. We are always tolerant towards the servants in our house and never do anything forced. If the maid really can't think about it and causes trouble, I'm afraid it will involve the entire Ding." The reputation of the Duke's Mansion. Just do as you say, and I will ask the maid named Lu Yue tomorrow."

"Thank you, mother. My son is leaving first."

After Cui Qiyan returned to Chenglin Pavilion, he called Ji Bai in and told him to do some things.

Yunling waited for him to finish his work before bringing the tea in. This time she did not put it on the table, but brought it to him, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Cui Qiyan raised his eyebrows and took it, "Is it because I promised you that you are so attentive today?"

"Serving the Crown Prince is a servant's duty." Yunling stepped aside, thinking that it seemed too obvious, so she might as well keep it in check.

Cui Qiyan showed a playful smile, "So you were lazy before, and you will serve me as you do today."

What? Yunling raised her head in surprise.

"What, you're not happy?" Cui Qiyan glanced at her and lowered his head to drink tea.

"I don't dare. I will obey the order of the prince."

Now that she still had something to ask for from him, how could Yunling dare to say no? She would do whatever he said. Secretly, my intestines were filled with regret.

At this time Luo Shui came in and said, "Your Majesty, the hot water is ready."

"Well, you have none of your business here," Cui Qiyan stood up and walked to the bedroom door

Kou deliberately turned around and said, "Remember what you did today."

Yunling curtsied and said, "I dare not forget this."

Well, the good times are over.

Cui Qiyan entered the bedroom with satisfaction, and Luo Shui asked curiously: "What does the prince mean by what he said to you?"

"Your Majesty said that I was lazy in doing things. He was trying to teach me a lesson."

Seeing her slumped face, Luo Shui comforted her with a smile, "There are only a few of us in Chenglin Pavilion. Sometimes we need to be more careful when doing things. You just need to be more vigilant in front of the prince in the future."

"I understand, Sister Luoshui."

The next day, Luyue followed Xu's mother to Ruihe Courtyard. She was so excited when she learned that the prince had personally told the eldest lady about her. Unexpectedly, Meng Dong and Yunling actually asked the prince for his permission on her behalf. .

"My slave Lu Yue has met the eldest lady." Lu Yue saluted respectfully.

"You are Lu Yue."

The eldest lady looked at her and saw that she had a slim figure and good looks. No wonder she attracted Qi Shao's fancy.

"I've heard about you. Are you really unwilling to be the second master's concubine? You have to think about it."

Lu Yue said without hesitation: "I just want to be a maid in my house peacefully, not a concubine."

"In that case, I shouldn't force you. I will go and ask the second lady to bring you over and work in Chenglin Pavilion."

"My slave, I thank you, Madam." Lu Yue knelt down and kowtowed.

The eldest lady gave her a few more words before letting her go back.

In the afternoon, the eldest lady came to the second lady's residence, followed by Xu's mother and Lu Yue's father.

When the second lady heard the servant's reply, she slowly came out of the inner room and touched the red gold silk bracelet on her wrist, "Hey, what brought my sister-in-law here?"

When her eyes fell on Lu Yue's

When he saw his father, he was slightly startled.

The eldest lady followed her gaze and said, "I think the second younger brother and sister also know Manager Chen. He came to me and said that the second younger brother and sister wanted to give his daughter to Qi Shao as his concubine. Is this possible?"

"It's just to show off to a maid, why is he bothering you, sister-in-law?" The second lady looked at Lu Yue's father with an unhappy expression. What she dislikes the most is that Dafang interferes in matters in their courtyard. This person is really ignorant.

"It's okay for my second younger brother and sister to take a concubine for Qi Shao, but I can't ignore the wishes of that maid and her family."

"Sister-in-law, what you said makes no sense." The second lady lowered her face and raised her voice, "I asked someone before, but Manager Chen agreed to this."

She pointed at Lu Yue's father, "Tell yourself, is this the case?"

Lu Yue's father said with sincerity: "It is her blessing that Lu Yue can fall in the eyes of the second master. Naturally, I am happy for her."

The second lady was relieved after hearing this. She raised her chin and glanced at the eldest lady. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Lu Yue's father speak again.

"But no matter how hard I try, she just won't agree and is determined to die. I'm afraid that she won't be able to think about it for a while, so I can only obey her. Second Madam, it's Lu Yue who doesn't have the fate to serve the Second Master."

"What did you say?" The second lady was furious, "Let her be Qi Shao's concubine because you think highly of her. How dare she disobey? Are you giving her face?"

Luyue's father was trembling with fright, and said bitterly, "Second Madam, please forgive me, it's because the child is ignorant..."

The eldest lady said: "Second brother and sister, don't be angry. Manager Chen just thinks it's their fault, so he invited me to be the lobbyist. Since the maid is so reluctant,

We can't force her. I believe Qi Shao doesn't even bother forcing people to be his concubines, so let's forget about it. The second brother and sister can find someone else. With Qi Shao's status, there will definitely be many people willing to be his concubine. "
