Transmigrated into a Qing Dynasty concubine and asked the system to help me raise my children
Chapter 35 Yongzheng's First Wife 35
A table of food was prepared in the kitchen. Niuhulu called Huixiang, "Go and ask if this table of food is for me alone or for everyone who comes into the mansion today."
Huixiang glanced at her from under her eyelids and felt that this princess was more thoughtful than ever.
She went out for a while, and came back to tell Niuhulu: "This table is for the princess alone."
Niuhulu smiled until her eyes narrowed. After a while, a eunuch came to the front yard and told her: "Princess, get ready. The prince will be here soon."
Niu Hulu was both excited and shy, and quickly ordered Hui Xiang Zhi Lan: "Quick! Change my clothes and put on my makeup!"
But her family was poor, so she didn't have any nice clothes and only had a few jewelry.
She looked at her makeup box and felt disappointed, but fortunately she still had a pair of hairpins given by her wife, which she would use first for emergency. She also had two pieces of fabric, so she decided to cut out the clothes quickly tomorrow.
When she was dressed and waiting at the door, the Fourth Prince arrived.
As soon as Niuhulu saw the Fourth Prince's handsome and cheerful appearance, she fell in love with him.
The Fourth Prince was looking at the hairpin on her head. Well, it was a gift from her by the Lady.
"Please sit down!" The Fourth Prince's tone was quite polite.
Niuhulu didn't sit down, but walked to the side of the Fourth Prince and said in a clipped voice, "Fourth Master, let me pour you some wine."
The Fourth Prince looked at her in surprise, wondering, wasn't she from a famous Manchu family? Why did she behave like this?
"No need, just sit down when I tell you to." The Fourth Prince's voice became a little colder.
Niuhulu looked at him shyly and timidly, and she herself felt that her eyes were enough to draw silk.
The Fourth Prince originally wanted to come and sit for a while to save her face, but now he had no intention of drinking at all.
He said, "Since you have entered the mansion, you must abide by the rules and do not move around casually without permission." I wanted to give him a few more instructions, but I was too lazy to say anything else.
"Okay, you can use this table." After saying that, he got up and left.
Niuhulu was dumbfounded. Are you leaving right now?
"Fourth Master!" Niuhulu chased to the door, but could no longer see the Fourth Prince.
Huixiang and Zhilan both lowered their heads. Niuhulu was angry and sad. She took one look at the table and wanted to overturn it.
The Fourth Prince returned to Shen Jiang's courtyard. Shen Jiang asked in surprise, "You're back so soon?"
The fourth prince felt sick when he thought of Niuhulu's clapper voice and said, "I can't bear to stay there."
Fortunately, the wine and food here had not been removed, so the Fourth Prince had his meal here.
After eating, the Fourth Prince taught Qi Buchen how to write.
After the children had gone to bed, the Fourth Prince and Shen Jiang also went to bed to rest. Shen Jiang asked Niu Hulu: "Does the new princess not suit your taste?"
The Fourth Prince said angrily: "You are a famous Manchu family! You behave like a skinny horse from Yangzhou. How do you select people in the palace?"
People with this kind of surname will generally be selected as long as they are not ugly.
There were no princesses from famous Manchu families in the Fourth Prince's mansion, so she was pointed out here.
Shen Jiang's point was not this. She deliberately asked, "Yangzhou skinny horse? Master, what is a Yangzhou skinny horse?"
The fourth prince froze for a moment, then gritted his teeth and smiled, "Fujin is very knowledgeable, but don't you know what a Yangzhou skinny horse is?"
"How would I know? Besides, I don't know what Yangzhou Skinny Horse is like!"
The Fourth Prince bit her lips, feeling both angry and amused, and said, "Why are you being so sour? I've seen this before during my southern tour, but am I that kind of person?"
Shen Jiang said slowly: "I don't know about that."
The Fourth Prince simply covered her mouth so that she had no energy to speak sarcastic anymore.
The next day, Shen Jiang had just gotten up and was combing her hair in front of the dressing mirror when Madam Kong came in and said, "The new Princess Niuhulu wants to pay her respects to the Lady." She added, "I heard from her elder sister that this Princess asked questions as soon as she arrived and was very restless. Oh, she even changed the names of the elder sister and the third girl to Huixiang and Zhilan."
Changing a maid's name is not a big deal, all the masters in the palace do it.
Shen Jiang was not very happy to see her. In the palace, she did not like to accept greetings from the princesses. In this mansion, she had the final say in the backyard, so she simply skipped the morning and evening visits.
Apart from asking Song to visit the Third Princess every few days, she didn't want to see anyone else.
"Mammy, tell her that there is no need to greet her. I will call her if there is anything else."
After Nanny Kong left, Shen Jiang combed her hair and waited for Zarafen and Qi Buchen to come for dinner.
After the meal, Madam Kong came in and said, "Girl Niuhulu has been waiting outside, saying that she just wanted to come in and kowtow to Fu Jin. I sent her away, but from her appearance, she is indeed a restless person."
Well, after so many years, I meet someone who doesn’t understand what people say.
Shen Jiang snorted and said, "If she doesn't behave herself, Li will serve as a lesson for her."
Li was almost a nobody in the backyard, so what if she had a few children? If you were restless, they could still erase you from the imperial register.
Niuhulu was unwilling to not see the wife, so she wanted to visit Song.
Mrs. Song simply claimed to be sick and didn't even let her in.
Niuhulu was so angry that she fell backwards. She spat at the Song family's courtyard gate and thought to herself, "Why are you so proud? When my son is born and I become the queen mother, you will be in trouble."
She returned to her room angrily and called two maids to ask them to cut the new material they had obtained yesterday into a cheongsam.
She worked until noon, rubbed her sore neck, asked Huixiang and Zhilan to carry it, and she closed the hanging flower gate without paying attention to it.
There was a maid guarding the Chuihua Gate. When she saw her, she hurriedly asked her to go back.
Niuhulu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, mother. Please forgive me for asking, when will the Fourth Master come back?" As she spoke, she handed over two dimes.
The old woman was so scared that she waved her hands and backed away: "I dare not accept your call of mother, let alone your reward. Please go back! If anyone sees me, my life will be in danger."
How could she forget that last year, Princess Li was tied up and tortured in the yard. She was the princess who gave birth to two children for Prince Beile!
If she dares to be greedy for this little money and disclose the whereabouts of the prince, she will forget about living!
Seeing how frightened she was, Niuhulu scolded her for being ungrateful and turned back to her room.
Huixiang and Zhilan came back with the meal, but they didn't see Niuhulu, and they were so scared that their legs almost went limp. Fortunately, Niuhulu came back, and the two repeatedly reminded her not to run around. Seeing her indifferent attitude, they felt tired.
In the evening, the Fourth Prince came back. Shen Jiang waited until he changed his clothes and sat down before telling him what happened today.
"Niuhulu was asking about the master's whereabouts at the Chuihua Gate, and was reported by the maid. Although it is a matter of the inner court, she is a new princess after all, and she is also a Manchu family. So, I will wait for the master to come back and ask for his instructions."
The Fourth Prince slammed the table and cursed, "What a shitty Manchu family! You are just a filthy person from a corner. You are a million miles away from the Guoyi family. How dare you flatter me so easily! You just came in and you dared to ask about my whereabouts? If I let you do that, I will suffer in the future!"
"In that case, give him twenty lashes and put him under house arrest!" Shen Jiang said.
A person who does not act according to common sense does not look like he was brought up in a proper banner family. I'm afraid he has changed his core!
