crossing into bastard

The old concubine heard the news and came to look. Seeing that the prince lived in the west room, she couldn't help crying from the corners of her eyes: "How can I live here, otherwise, go live in the front yard."

"Stay for two days first, if you don't have nightmares anymore, you have to move back." The prince said: "It's inconvenient for everyone to live in the front yard."

The old concubine asked Aunt Xiao: "Clean every corner of the main house, don't let any dust fall, replace everything, and use new ones. If there are no new ones in the palace, go and buy them. You can't let the prince live in it." In this little house."

The main room was completely changed this time, no matter the bed or anything else, only the four walls remained unchanged. Aunt Xiao did not dare to be careless. There was nothing in the house, but Yu Chengcheng didn't go in, and kept saying that there was a smell in the house, no matter how strong the smell was, it couldn't cover it.

The old concubine couldn't help suspecting that Yu Cheng did this on purpose, looking for trouble for nothing, and let the prince ignore it. Yu Cheng loves living in the west house, so let him live there, and the prince has to live in the main house.

The prince listened, but did not speak, the main house moved back, but the prince seldom stayed in the inner room, almost time was either in the outer room, or rested in the west room, the inner room was empty and no one lived there, Aunt Xiao did not dare to ask, the prince It was never his turn to ask about it.

The old concubine was dissatisfied with Yu Cheng in her heart, but she would not stop the prince and ask Aunt Xiao to clean up an empty yard. In front of the main house, there was a pool garden, which was only a little smaller than the main house. It won't be uncomfortable.

The things in the pool garden were also changed. Yu Cheng went to see it, but there was no smell. After the pool garden was tidied up, the prince and Yu Cheng moved in. Now, Yu Cheng didn’t talk about the smell anymore. up.

This tossing also came to the day when Concubine Lin lifted the ban. Concubine Lin immediately came to the prince to apologize, knelt down in front of the prince and said, "It's my concubine who is confused and has lost face to the prince. Now I know what I have done." Wrong thing, today I am here to apologize to the princess."

Concubine Lin turned around, knelt down heavily in front of Yu Cheng, and cried while biting her head: "Please, my lord, please forgive me for being confused for a while."

Yu Cheng was not in a hurry to dodge, he didn't expect Concubine Lin to do such a thing, and when Concubine Lin finished speaking, Yu Cheng said, "I didn't take it to heart."

"Thank you, Concubine Wang." Concubine Lin nodded again, and then got up with the help of Nanny Wang who was close to her.

Concubine Yu and Aunt Xiao who were standing nearby hurriedly bowed to Concubine Lin. Concubine Lin returned the salute to Concubine Yu and said to Aunt Xiao: "Fortunately, Aunt Xiao is here, otherwise my crime would be greater. The palace is in the hands of Aunt Xiao. It's even better in my hands, I really buried Aunt Xiao before."

"My concubine Lin Fang said it before, and I just acted according to the rules in the palace, and my mother was beside me pointing out." Aunt Xiao blessed Fushen and said: "Now that Princess Lin side has lifted the ban, the palace is still handed over to you." Concubine Lin Chou is good, I am also an aunt, I can't break the rules in the palace."

"Mother hasn't spoken yet. Besides, the palace agreed to let you take care of the palace." Concubine Lin said with a smile: "There is absolutely no handover like this. I also understand Aunt Xiao's thoughts. Sometimes this rule has to be respected." Keep it, but the rules are dead, but people are alive, sometimes, you can still change it."

Concubine Lin's intention is to leave the palace to Aunt Xiao first, and there are only a few people in this mansion, except for the old princess who is old and doesn't even have a child. What she has to take care of is day-to-day old affairs. But it's different if you take care of the prince close up. Taking care of the palace and taking care of the prince can't always take care of everything. Concubine Lin is still paying attention to giving birth to a child.

Aunt Xiao said flatly: "Let mother be the master, I will obey mother."

Concubine Lin went to the old concubine's place, knelt down when she saw her, pleaded guilty seriously, and said: "I have done wrong things, if I still take care of the affairs of the palace, it will be difficult to convince the public. Aunt Xiao continues to take care of the palace, and this concubine devotes herself to serving the prince to make up for her mistakes."

The old concubine motioned him to get up and sat down to talk. The old concubine said: "Beside the lord, you really need someone to serve you wholeheartedly. Aunt Xiao always dislikes the lord. Only you can get closer to the lord."

This means that the old concubine agreed, and Concubine Lin thanked her: "Thank you for your success. The prince moved to Chiyuan because there is no one around him who can serve him closely. He moved with the concubine. This time it will be fine. A few times, always let outsiders know, there will be other ideas."

"That's just worrying. From now on, you will live in the east room of Chiyuan, and the princess in the west room is going." The old concubine said, "It's been a while since the prince sleeps at night, and he just wants someone by his side. , do you know that the prince has this hobby?"

Concubine Lin's face turns green and white, she can't answer if she knows, or if she doesn't know, if she knows, why didn't she accompany the prince when the concubine didn't enter the door, even if the prince didn't like her, why didn't she say anything? I don't know, then his concubine in the past few years was for nothing, and he didn't even know that the prince likes to be accompanied at night.

The old concubine looked at the expression on Concubine Lin's face, and didn't ask any further questions, but said: "In this palace, besides the concubine, you are also the big one in front of the concubine Yuzai and the aunts. How to arrange the prince's house, you must Now I know it too.”

Concubine Lin nodded "Yes". According to the rules, the prince stays in the concubine's room for ten days in a month. For the other 20 days, ten days belong to the concubine's side, and ten days belong to the concubine. The prince rarely stayed in the house before. At home, they have always been casual, and they have been sick in bed this year, so these rules are useless. The old princess's mention today is to make these rules come into use.

Concubine Lin was secretly happy. In this way, the prince stayed in his room for five days a month. Thinking of the book Wang Momo found, Concubine Lin was sure that she could conceive soon.

Coming out of the old concubine's room, Concubine Lin brought Nanny Wang back to the house, closed the doors and windows tightly, Concubine Lin lowered her voice and said to Nanny Wang: "Do you know any medicine that can help you conceive a child quickly?"

Wang Momo was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "The doctor can prescribe it, it's all about recuperating the body, and when the body is in order, it will naturally be easy to conceive."

"You go to the doctor now to check the pulse and prescribe the prescription." Concubine Lin ordered.

Wang Momo asked: "Miss, why did you suddenly think of taking care of your body?"

"Mother asked me to serve the prince according to the rules. There are rules for the prince to stay in that house for a few days a month. If this rule is implemented, the prince will stay in this house for five days." Concubine Lin was not without joy. He said: "Before they know it and are unprepared, get pregnant first."

"I'll do it now, servant girl." Wang Momo also felt that this was a good thing, so she hurried to invite the doctor.

On Yucheng's side, he brought flower pots over, and all the vegetables he had planted had long since died. Now, Yucheng replanted some and placed them in the Westinghouse. He went to do it for a while every day, and usually walked a lot in front of the door.

The prince also walked out of the room more and more. After going to the soldiers crying room once, the prince would take Yucheng to go with him from time to time, and sometimes he would make gestures at the door.

When Concubine Lin came to convey the meaning of the old concubine, the prince waved his hand and said: "This matter is not urgent, we will talk about it later."

In this way, Concubine Lin's hopes were extinguished. The prince was in better health, and he was thinking about the affairs of the palace. It's inconvenient for women's relatives to go out and sit and talk with a group of men, so Yu Cheng takes the responsibility of taking care of the prince.

The steward of the outer courtyard lowered his head and glanced at Yu Cheng secretly from the corner of his eye. The new princess and the others had heard about it a long time ago, but the old princess did not allow them to enter the inner courtyard, fearing that the prince was ill and some scandalous things would come out. .

The accounts that should be corrected are all piled up, and the stewards are all correct first, but it is better for the prince to look over it. The harvest and expenditures of this year are clearly written. The prince still has some business outside, and the prince needs to make up his mind. , They just have ideas in their hearts, and they need the prince's consent.

The prince sat in the upper seat and listened to the stewards report on the past year. After listening for an hour, the prince waved the stewards to stop and said: "Come here today, come back tomorrow."

The stewards responded in unison, knowing that the prince was not in good health, so they retreated without much hesitation. Yu Cheng brought the teacup to the prince, and the prince took the teacup and said to him: "As Steward Liu said, the business of the cloth shop outside is not good. Alright, you go out with me this afternoon to see what's going on, don't let them know."

Yu Cheng frowned and said, "My lord wants to leave the house?"

"Yes." The prince said: "There is a problem with the business of the cloth shop. Now that the season is about to change, new materials have been imported from other places. If the business is not good, there is a problem."

"Is the prince's body suffering?" Yu Cheng asked.

The prince nodded: "Just go out for a walk and come back."

If you can't let the stewards know, you can't take a horse-drawn carriage. It is impossible for the prince to travel in a horse-drawn carriage without disturbing the people in the outer court. After Yu Cheng asked the location clearly, he calculated the distance, and it was not very far, and he could get there in a short walk.

Yu Cheng changed into ordinary clothes, and the prince changed into old clothes. The two went to the weapon room, then walked through the weapon room to the back door, and went directly to the fabric shop.

The street is very lively, the fabric shop opened by the prince is very conspicuous, it is easy to see, they stood outside for a while, many people went in to see, but very few people bought fabrics, Yu Cheng went in first, and saw that there was no big manager Now, the prince also came in, and the clerk of the cloth shop stepped forward to greet him. Yu Cheng couldn't understand these things, but the prince could understand. All the materials displayed here were old materials, and none of the new ones were seen.

The prince asked the man, "Is there no new material?"

The clerk said: "This year, the prince is ill, so this material is not in."

The prince's face changed slightly, he glanced at it, turned around and left, Yu Cheng followed, the prince went to the shop in the street behind, there were many people entering, but few people were buying. There are jade wares that don't look very good.
