After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains
Chapter 57: Compensation?
Qin Yaoguang didn't show it on his face, as if he didn't hear the meaning at all. He smiled and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, I was waiting for you to say this!"
The emperor swung his sleeves and said, "Don't worry, sister. I can still make the decision on this little matter. When the prince consort comes back, I will talk to him and ask him to stay in the capital. Don't let you stay alone in the empty room again."
"In that case, thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Yaoguang thanked him.
Empress Xie had some thoughts in her mind, and said with a smile: "The prince consort has made great contributions. I want to ask for the emperor's reward on behalf of my sister."
Qin Yaoguang thought: My husband has done a great deed, and you come to ask my brother for a reward? I sold a favor for nothing, how can I be so proud? This Empress Xie is really not good enough, she is far worse than her father, the Grand Tutor.
The Empress Dowager said slowly, "No hurry. Since it is a reward based on merit, it should not come from the Emperor's private treasury."
She stopped the matter and glanced at Queen Xie calmly.
Empress Xie immediately covered her mouth with her sleeve, took a sip of tea, and dared not say anything more.
After lunch, the rain eased a little, and a group of people surrounded Qin Yaoguang and headed towards the palace gate.
When Qin Yaoguang entered the palace, she was served by more than ten people, including her personal maids Deng Ma and Gu Yu, as well as several second-class maids. With the title of the eldest princess, she could walk freely in the palace.
When they arrived at the door, Guyu was waiting there. He greeted Qin Yaoguang and got on the carriage back to the princess's mansion.
In the carriage, Guyu reported back: "Your Highness, I showed the invitation from the Duke's wife to Concubine Jing, and she said she knew about it."
Qin Yaoguang nodded, said nothing more, and closed her eyes for a rest.
In this way, the alliance between Qin Yaoguang and the Anguo Mansion was reached.
In the Princess's Mansion, in the Zhufeng Courtyard.
Xiao wanted to leave, and said to Bai Lu who was blocking the gate, "I want to go back for lunch."
There was dissatisfaction in her eyes.
What a shabby place! The classroom is still leaking, and there is a wooden bucket underneath to catch the water. The constant sound of dripping water is so noisy.
The food was very ordinary, and the little ones ate it with great relish.
"Mrs. Zhou, His Highness has ordered that you will be staying and eating in Zhufeng Courtyard from today until you complete the lessons of the young masters and young ladies." Bai Lu said.
This was the instruction Qin Yaoguang gave before entering the palace.
Xiao is not a contented person. She would even make an excuse of being sick when it rains. It is extremely difficult to expect her to devote herself to class.
In this case, let’s set an assessment goal.
There is no time limit and you can leave only after the task is completed. The anxious person became Xiao.
As expected, Xiao got anxious when she heard this and said, "What do you mean? I am a guest in your princess's mansion, not a prisoner! Your Highness asked me to teach a few children and didn't even give me a salary. How can I go anywhere without being controlled by a slave like you?!"
Bai Lu didn't say much, but just took people to guard the gate and didn't allow her to leave.
Xiao was brought here by force today, with no one around her. She immediately felt alone and helpless, so she covered her face and cried, "Okay, you guys are bullying me, a widow with no one to back you up! I'm going to the Taifu's house to have a good talk."
"Mrs. Zhou, you have to complete the task assigned by His Highness before you can leave the Wind Chasing Courtyard."
No matter how she cried and screamed, Bai Lu just said this.
Several strong women stood at the gate of the courtyard. Xiao wanted to force her way in, but was stopped. The umbrella in her hand fell to the ground and was immediately soaked by the sudden heavy rain.
The rain stuck her hair to her face, and her silver-red satin jacket absorbed the water, becoming wet and heavy.
The autumn rain poured down her neck, and her whole body was cold. Xiao hugged herself and shivered violently.
Bai Lu then picked up the oil-paper umbrella and covered her head with it, saying, "Mrs. Zhou, please be careful. The rain is cold, don't hurt yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao sneezed several times in a row. He didn't care about anything else and was about to walk back.
In any case, she had to change out of these wet clothes first.
"Wait a minute."
Qin Yaoguang was surrounded by people and appeared at the gate of the courtyard. She glanced at the trembling Xiao and asked Bai Lu, "What's going on? Madam Zhou is here to give a lecture, and you guys are not serving her so attentively?"
When Xiao heard this, she thought Qin Yaoguang was backing her up, and she quickly complained, "I'd like to meet Her Royal Highness, the Princess. Look, Your Highness, I just wanted to go back to Chuntang Garden for a nap, but this shrew refused and even said it was your order."
Qin Yaoguang hummed lightly and said, "What I said is correct."
She lowered her eyes and looked at Xiao, saying, "The Feng Shui of Zhufeng Courtyard is good, and it can support people. This is what you told me. Why are you so unwilling to stay in Zhufeng Courtyard? Is there any reason?"
Hearing her say this, Xiao almost bit her tongue.
That was exactly what she said, but she didn't expect that one day she would get herself into trouble.
She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Your Highness, no matter how good the Feng Shui of Zhufeng Courtyard is, I still have a daughter in Chuntang Courtyard, and I am worried about her being alone."
"Why are you alone?"
Qin Yaoguang said, "Miss Zhou wants to copy scriptures, and even my people are accompanying her and taking turns to serve her. Don't you think it's not enough? Do you want me to grind ink for her myself?!"
She spoke harshly when she said the last sentence.
All the Xiao family members were terrified.
Reflexively, she knelt down in the rain with a thump, and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I never dared to have such an intention!"
"It's okay if it's not."
Qin Yaoguang said slowly, "Get up. Don't kneel down in the heavy rain. Go back to your room and change your wet clothes. Don't catch a cold. Otherwise, you will pass on your illness to your brothers and sisters."
what?
Xiao looked up at her blankly.
Isn't she better than those bastards? What does it mean to not pass on your bad luck to your brothers and sisters?
The disparity in treatment was so huge that she couldn't believe it and even forgot to get up.
Qin Yaoguang winked at Bai Lu, who stepped forward to help her up. Qin Yaoguang asked, "Mrs. Zhou, I'll send someone to bring all your things over. Do you have any other requests? Tell me all of them, and I'll satisfy you."
Require?
Her request is to leave Zhufengyuan!
However, before Xiao could open her mouth, Bai Lu said, "Your Highness, Madam Zhou mentioned that she didn't have any tuition."
"Shu Xiu?"
Qin Yaoguang thought about it, then lowered his eyes to look at Xiao, as if he was thinking about something.
Although Xiao felt wet and cold, her eyes lit up a bit when she saw this.
You know, the eldest princess has always been generous, and the money that slips through her fingers is enough for an ordinary family to live on for several years.
The tuition for five children wouldn't be paid without her, right?
Thinking this in her mind, Xiao's heart became hotter and hotter, as if she couldn't even feel the cold. She looked at Qin Yaoguang with anticipation.
Qin Yaoguang raised her lips and said, "Yes, I missed it."
