Family Has a Concubine

Qing'er set off in the carriage, and after about two quarters of an hour, she walked towards the East Corner Gate of Taijue's Mansion, and stopped at the Chuihua Gate.

Chu Miaoshu followed Ye Tangcai out of the car, and saw a beautiful maid wearing gold and silver came up to meet her, it was Qin Se: "Miss Chu, you are here, this must be Miss Chu."

"This is Sister Qinse, the maidservant of the Crown Princess." Ye Tangcai said with a smile.

"Hello, Elder Sister Qin Se." Seeing Ye Tang's familiar introduction, Chu Miaoshu thought to herself that she would soon become an acquaintance here too.

"This way please." Qin Se said.

"The flowers wiped last time must have been dried in the sun, right?" Ye Tangcai said, "Now that the autumn wind is blowing, it is most suitable for drying dried flowers."

"Yes!" Qin Se nodded and said with a smile: "The people under the flowers that have been wiped before have been made, and the empress is also very satisfied. But the empress still asks the third grandma to come and wipe the flowers. The third grandma should understand, the empress I fell in love with the atmosphere, cooking tea with my left hand and wiping the fragrance of flowers with my right. That’s why I called the third grandma over again.”

"Princess Concubine is really an elegant person." Chu Miaoshu rushed to answer.

Qin Se nodded with a smile, "Your Majesty has always been like this. In the past, I just let people make tea below, and I always felt that there was something missing. Later, when the third grandma came to wipe the flowers, I felt complete. I got used to seeing the third grandma for the first two times, and suddenly changed to something else." When the servant girl comes, she always feels that something is wrong, so she often bothers the third grandma."

Chu Miaoshu's heart trembled, starting from today she would wipe the flowers with Ye Tangcai for the Empress Dowager, and she wanted to be loved by the Empress Dowager.

While talking, the two have been led to Zhenghua Courtyard by Qin Se.

As in the past, the maids brought by Ye Tangcai and Chu Miaoshu stopped outside the courtyard, and then were led by the maid in Tsing Yi to rest elsewhere.

Chu Miaoshu followed Ye Tangcai into the spacious room, and she saw a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old woman sitting at the head. The peony head is combed, and in the fluffy bun, there are five or six small red gold inlaid with emeralds. In the middle is a peony Huasheng, and a ruby ​​​​eyebrow pendant hangs down. The appearance is above average, the eyebrows are serious, but the whole is noble.

Chu Miaoshu was startled when she saw it, this is the Crown Princess, the most honorable woman besides the Empress Dowager and Empress? She is not as beautiful as her, and she is just more noble.

Sitting in the position of princess, anyone can be noble.

Thinking of this, Chu Miaoshu felt a little complacent, stroked the broken hair on the sideburns, making herself more beautiful and delicate, so that she could overwhelm the Crown Princess.

The two walked in front of the crown princess, and Ye Tang saluted: "See empress."

Chu Miaoshu hurriedly saluted: "See Your Majesty."

"Well, get up!" The princess smiled and raised her hand.

With the Chu family's shabby settled style, knowing that Ye Tangcai has fallen in love with her, he will definitely follow her. She didn't care either, it would be better to cover it up if there were one or two more people.

If she can give birth to a son-in-law smoothly, so what if she praises the Chu family.

Thinking about it, the princess glanced at Chu Miaoshu, and saw that although Chu Miaoshu was far inferior to Ye Tangcai, she was also delicate and beautiful, and she felt a little nervous, and said, "This is Miss Chu, are all the members of your Chu family so beautiful?" ?”

Ye Tangcai said: "Your Majesty is too famous."

The princess smiled lightly: "I would like to know, where is the reputation."

Ye Tangcai had no choice but to say: "A good appearance is just a skin."

A sneer flashed in the eyes of the princess, thinking in her heart, it is only you who can say such things.

Ye Tangcai was speechless at the sneer in the eyes of the princess, she praised her too much, and everyone just needs enough. The princess wanted to hold on to it herself, no matter what other people answered, they could poke her sore spots.

Qin Se knew that the Crown Princess was irritated by having another beautiful woman, so she smiled and said, "Third Mistress, Miss Chu, please sit down!"

The wide and long table on the right is already full of flowers, roses, peonies, roses... all kinds of them.

Ye Tangcai walked to the futon in front of the long table on the right and sat down, and Chu Miaoshu took the Qinse's place. Then, start wiping flowers.

In front of the long table on the left, as always, there were two maids in gold and silver clothes making tea, and the crown princess was chatting and twiddling with Nanny Shi at the top.

It was okay for Chu Miaoshu to rub the petals at the beginning, but after a long time, she felt a little uncomfortable. First, I sat on the futon, my legs were bent and sore, and the work on my hands was so monotonous and boring.

This is completely different from what I imagined to be valued when invited by the princess!

In the imagination, she should be invited to the seat by the princess, and then the servant girl would serve tea and snacks, and the princess would sit opposite her and have a good chat, that's right.

But now I'm only wiping flowers next time! The tea maker on the opposite side is still a maid, what has become of her? Maid? Chu Miaoshu felt humiliated.

Ye Tangcai looked at her livid face, a speechless and sneer flashed in her eyes, did she really think she was here to be the guest of honor?

Why do you say that other people's princesses and concubines are nobles, and as a courtier yourself, it is also possible to be ordered like this.

Just like the companions of the prince or princess, they can also be regarded as those who serve the prince and princess. In front of the prince and princess and others, even if they are not slaves, they still have to serve them. The empress dowager likes a certain noble girl, so she summons her to accompany her in the palace, and she also has to serve tea and water.

After an hour or so, it was already a quarter of noon, when I heard a voice from outside: "See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Ye Tangcai's eyes flickered slightly, and he came.

Prince? Chu Miaoshu was overjoyed, raised his head, and saw a young man wearing a black four-claw python robe walking in.

Chu Miaoshu saw that the prince was handsome and handsome, Zhuo Yu was extraordinary, calm and dignified, and his heart was bursting with excitement. This is His Royal Highness, the most honorable man in Daqi. From now on, he will be the supreme emperor of the whole Daqi.

So noble and unattainable, it is now in front of my eyes.

Chu Miaoshu followed the prince's figure with sparkling eyes as if in a dream.

The prince sat next to the concubine, his eyes fell to the table on the left, he turned around Ye Tangcai's breathtaking face, then reluctantly moved away, and glanced at Chu Miaoshu again. The girl looked at him with admiration.

The prince smiled gently. He was never stingy with his smile when he admired and flattered beauties.

When Chu Miaoshu saw that the prince was actually smiling at him, his heart was pounding. Could it be that the prince fell in love with him at first sight? Thinking of this, she was so happy that she felt as if she was going to fly, she was so buoyant, she couldn't tell how excited she was.

The prince looked at her like this, didn't take it seriously, isn't this a matter of course, and then picked up the teacup. This girl is beautiful, but she is only a bit more delicate, not even Bai Ruyan.

He has passed too many girls with this appearance.

The Crown Princess sneered, but it was another toad who wanted to eat swan meat.

The crown prince just wanted to come and see Ye Tangcai, and Chu Miaoshu was in the way here, so he said, "My concubine, when will you dry the dried flowers?"

The Crown Princess's eyes twinkled slightly, and it was time for him to eat something sweet: "It's almost wiped, it's just right to take it down and dry it."

Qin Se understood, and walked up to Chu Miaoshu: "Miss Chu, let's go down to dry the flowers!"

"Uh..." Chu Miaoshu didn't want to leave, she just saw His Highness the Crown Prince, her legs didn't feel uncomfortable and painful, and she actually told her to leave! "My... little sister-in-law..."

Looking at Ye Tangcai, he wanted Ye Tangcai to go and stay here.

"Miss Chu!" Qin Se's face darkened.

Chu Miaoshu was startled, so she had to grit her teeth and try to stand up.

She only felt that her legs were so sore and painful. When she stood up, she said "Ouch", and her body was crooked. She felt that she was so pitiful, so she couldn't help but glanced at the prince, and found that the prince didn't look at her at all, and even more so. Don't say sorry for her.

Chu Miaoshu felt aggrieved, so she sniffled and stood up.

Long ago, a little maid brought a large bamboo weaving sieve and filled most of the flowers on the table.

Qin Se laughed and said, "Miss Chu, let's go!"

Chu Miaoshu had no choice but to leave with Qin Se.

When the two left the house, Chu Miaoshu couldn't help but glanced back at the room, full of reluctance, and quickly caught up with Qin Se who was in front: "Sister Qin Se, why didn't my little sister-in-law go to sun the flowers with us?"

Qin Se laughed and said: "Let's work separately, there are still some flowers in it, the third grandma continues to wipe the flowers, how nice it is for Miss Chu to dry the flowers together with her servants! Besides, I see that Miss Chu's legs seem to be so sore that I can't bear it." , so I wake you up."

Chu Miaoshu's face was slightly stiff, and she quickly begged: "I don't have sore legs, but I can't stand looking at my little sister-in-law. Next time, sister Qin Se should call her little sister-in-law!"

The corner of Qin Se's mouth twitched, tsk tsk, how thick-skinned she is! Only perfunctory: "Let's go!"

In the Zhenghua courtyard, the prince saw the person in the way leave, with a smile on his lips.

The Crown Princess looked at Ye Tangcai who was not far away, and said with a smile: "The flowers in Grandma Chu's hands are so beautiful, why not make a cup of Hundred Flowers Tea for Ben Gong!"

Ye Tang Caixin was a little nervous, but she expected that they would not attack her so quickly, and the princess wanted to hang the prince, so it was impossible to be so fast. Then he agreed crisply: "Yes, ma'am."

The crown princess winked at the two maids in brocade clothes who were making tea.

The two servant girls in brocade clothes stood up quickly, then lifted the long table in front of them, and put it under the footsteps of the sandalwood three-dimensional three-dimensional couch where the princess and the prince sat.

The brocade-clothed maids stepped aside, and one of the maids said, "Miss Chu, please."

Ye Tangcai smiled and stood up, put a bouquet of flowers on a crystal dish, then walked forward, and finally stood in front of the long table at the feet of the prince and princess.

The maidservant in Tsing Yi brought a plate of clean water, Ye Tang cleaned her hands, then bowed her head and started to brew Hundred Flowers Tea.

Ye Tangcai was sitting on the futon below, and it was the first time that the prince looked at her from such a close distance.

I saw her bowing her head and concentrating on making tea, revealing a long and beautiful snow-white neck.

She is wearing an elegant and beautiful double-breasted skirt, and the upper body is a simple and elegant beige top. The vermilion myrobalan with dark patterns of begonia flowers wraps the chest roundly and plumply. A piece of white and delicate skin is attached to the delicate collarbone and is charming. The girl's drooping eyebrows were smoky and meandering, and there was a touch of natural charm at the tip of her eyes, and her whole person exuded a youthful and intoxicating style.

The prince's eyes fell on her unscrupulously, and the girl's fragrance lingered in his nostrils, mixed with the fragrant scented tea, which made him feel distracted.

The jade fracture fan in his hand kept hitting the tiger's mouth, again and again, and the rhythm accelerated, declaring his inner restlessness.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, it's ready." The girl's slender fingers held the black porcelain cup, her small face was lightly tilted up, charming and radiant.

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to reach out and touch her.

"His Royal Highness Liang is here!" An anxious shout sounded from outside.

The hand that the prince was about to stretch out froze, he frowned, and raised his head.

Seeing that the prince was so preoccupied with another woman in front of her, the princess hated her so much that she hated him to death. When King Liang came over suddenly, she felt secretly refreshed.

The husband and wife saw a man in a purple python robe walking in. He was handsome, dignified and handsome. It was the King of Liang.

"Brother Huang." Liang Wang called out as he walked in.

The prince's handsome and elegant face darkened, he was in the midst of being excited, but was suddenly interrupted, and the current situation... No matter how you look at it, it seems that he is a little out of order.

"Why is the emperor here?" The prince smiled, with a gentle and elegant face.

"Brother Huang asked Li Gui to come to my palace to pick up tomorrow's birthday banquet post two days ago, what's going on?" Liang Wang said.

The prince's eyes turned slightly, and he said with a smile: "Isn't it because I want to take advantage of the emperor's birthday tomorrow to invite a few more friends to get together. My palace just asked Li Gui to ask for a few more posts. The emperor even has to take care of such trivial matters. I have nothing to do with co-authoring and even the Zhongfu of your mansion?"

Liang Wang's handsome and coquettish face smiled faintly: "Look at what the emperor said... Is this king such a stingy person? It's just that the side concubine Lu just happened to be gone, so I came here and said something to this king. Thinking, since the emperor wants it, this king will personally send it to the emperor."

As he said that, Yanxi came forward holding a tray, on which was a stack of bronzing dragon pattern posts.

"Hehehe, the emperor has a heart." The prince laughed.

"Hey, what are the emperor's brother and the emperor's wife doing?" Liang Wang had been standing behind Ye Tangcai, his gaze fell on Ye Tangcai's back.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had ghosts in their hearts, so they shivered, and the Crown Princess quickly smiled and said, "It's just that I have nothing to do, just make tea and enjoy tea. Brother..."

He froze as he spoke. In such a situation, most people would invite someone to have a drink, but they didn't want to call. What if the King of Liang had a brain twitch and didn't know what to do, what would he do if he agreed?

"Sister-in-law?" Liang Wang raised his eyebrows and called out.

The concubine wished to slap her a few times, why did she call the emperor brother so much just now, now that there is no follow-up, I don't know what it is like.

The prince hated secretly, and now he just wanted to drive King Liang away quickly, otherwise, with such a stunning beauty in front of him, King Liang would definitely think that he was worthless.

But Liang Wang had already noticed, after all, the beauty had exquisite muscles and bones, and her back was also shockingly beautiful.

The prince saw a flash of surprise in the eyes of King Liang looking at Ye Tangcai's back: "Brother, who is this girl?"

The faces of the prince and princess were heavy. The princess smiled and said, "The tea maker, hehehe."

Ye Tangcai quickly stood up, turned around, and saluted King Liang: "My concubine is Mrs. Ye, I have seen the prince."

Liang Wang looked at Ye Tangcai, and then... his face was astonished!

The corners of Ye Tangcai's mouth twitched, the showman is getting up!

The faces of the prince and princess were all blackened.

Watching Liang Wang walk to the armchair next to the crown prince and sit down, he said with a smile: "Since the emperor makes tea, I will give my brother a cup too."

Seeing Liang Wang's flamboyant eyes seemed to find prey, the light suddenly appeared and fell on Ye Tangcai, the prince's heart surged with anger.

Liang Wang sat crookedly on the armchair, leaning his elbows on the side table, with the back of his hands slightly bent and lowered to his cheeks.

Those flirtatious and affectionate phoenix eyes just scanned her unscrupulously like this!

When we met a few times, these eyes were always shining coldly, but now there is no cold light shining. Finally, the advantage of these eyes was revealed, attractive and charming, even though he knew that he was faking it, his face flushed red when he saw it!

Ye Tangcai shook her body and lowered her head, what a showman!

The crown prince's unspeakable resentment, this emperor's younger brother, is the most romantic and affectionate. There are countless beauties in the backyard, each with their own beauty, as long as they can handle it, they are all brought into the backyard by him.

However, he is charming and coquettish, and if he looks at the girl's house twice, he will rush to squeeze into his backyard.

The emperor sighed more than once: "King Liang will be ruined by female sex one day, but the prince is worthy of great use. He is virtuous and talented, unlike King Liang who is unrestrained."

Father's words made the prince proud to this day, and he used this as his own standard of conduct. He is virtuous and talented, and he is not comparable to someone like King Liang.

Anyway, King Liang would provoke any beauties who could be provoked. Of course, most of the time it was the beauties who provoked him first.

Now, in front of a peerless beauty like Ye Tangcai, how can King Liang not miss her?

The prince was annoyed, and coldly shouted: "My brother, what are you doing?"

"If you don't do anything, just ask for a cup of tea." As he spoke, he still couldn't take his gaze away.

The Crown Princess and the Prince were trembling with anger, how shameless!

The prince wanted to splash a cup of tea on his face, so he said coldly: "Have you forgotten what your father told you?"

"What order?" Liang Wang raised his lips and smiled charmingly, "I have so many orders from my father to this king, I don't know which one is it?"

Well, he is not ashamed, but proud!

The crown prince had no choice but to come forward with a warning: "Forget about those before, after all, it is an unmarried girl's house. They want to enter your backyard, as long as the woman's family is willing. This Chu Ye is a good friend of your emperor's wife. He is a married woman. Wife, does the emperor want to hook up? I have never seen you so shameless!"

Ye Tangcai: "..."

Crown Princess: "..."

"This king... is not such a shameless person." Liang Wang said lazily. Well, friend's wife, don't be bullied! What's more, it's Chu San'er's daughter-in-law, who is his junior. He reached out and picked up a post from Yanxi's tray, and put it in front of Ye Tangcai: "Tomorrow, July 7th, the birthday banquet at Prince Liang's Mansion, the little madam will definitely come."

After finishing speaking, he chuckled lightly, then turned and left.

The princess looked at his back and trembled with anger. The person she finally found would not just be hooked up by King Liang and go away, right?

Ye Tangcai picked up the post, and the corner of his mouth twitched. In fact, he really just came to deliver the post, right?

The princess watched Ye Tangcai pick up the post, and her whole body was in a bad mood: "Grandma Chu, the king of Liang is a libertine, don't have anything to do with him, otherwise, your reputation will be lost!"

After saying this, the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince clashed in their hearts.

They talked about King Liang in this way, so it was inevitable that they would maintain their integrity in front of Ye Tangcai! How does this make them do it?

The prince's face was gloomy, and his heart was heavy.

Today Ye Tang came to him, and the atmosphere was just right. If we come over a few more times in the future and get close, maybe we can get started, but now it seems to be pulling farther and farther all at once.

"Okay, let's stop here today!" The princess said calmly.

"The concubine will retire first." Ye Tangcai bowed his head and retreated.

The prince's face was gloomy, he snorted coldly, and walked away.

The princess bit her lip, almost bleeding.

The crown prince left the Zhenghua Hall and went all the way to his study. Li Gui caught up with him and said in a low voice: "Why don't you just tie her up and ask her tonight, then you will be obedient in the future."

The two had already walked into the study room. The prince sat down on the nanmu chair in front of the window, tapping his fingers on the table. He also had the same idea.

But thinking of Ye Tangcai sitting in front of him today, with her bowed head soft and graceful, she gave up this idea. Such a beauty, how could he be abrupt.

It should be done step by step, let her fall at his feet willingly, that's fun.

...

Ye Tang picked out the Zhenghua Courtyard, but he let out a sigh of relief.

A maidservant in Tsing Yi was leading the way, until she reached the Chuihua Gate, only then did she see Qin Se bringing Chu Miaoshu over. Qiuju and Chunshan had already been waiting there too.

"Little sister-in-law!" Seeing Ye Tangcai, Chu Miaoshu rushed over with excitement.

"Third Grandma, Miss Chu, go slowly." Qin Se learned from the maid that Zhenghua Courtyard was not going well, so she hurried away.

"Get in the car!" Ye Tangcai said.

Chu Miaoshu had countless things to say in his heart, but Ye Tang opened his mouth and quickly climbed into the car.

The four of them got into the carriage and sat down, then Qing'er waved his whip and drove them away in the carriage.

Sitting on the carriage, Chu Miaoshu looked excited: "Sister-in-law, do you know that I just saw His Royal Highness Liang Wang. At that time, I was drying flowers with Sister Qinse, and saw a peerless handsome man walking over. It was really... It's so pretty!"

Chu Miaoshu didn't have much ink in his stomach, so he didn't know what words to use to describe Liang Wang's handsomeness.

"He just passed by us like that." Chu Miaoshu frowned as he said, "Did he enter Zhenghua courtyard just now? Did my sister-in-law see him nearby?"

"Yes, yes." Ye Tangcai nodded.

Chu Miaoshu listened, and felt a little unwilling, because Ye Tangcai met everything that was good.

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Liang is called the most beautiful man in the capital." Chun Shan said with a smile.

"I've heard of it too." Qiu Ju echoed, "That's why many women are rushing towards him, and because of this, there are so many beauties in his backyard that they have nowhere to live." She smiled as she spoke.

Ye Tangcai raised his eyebrows, "The third master is not worse than him."

Chu Miaoshu curled her lips, so what if she looks good, she is just a bastard, how can she compare with His Royal Highness Liang Wang.

"Little sister-in-law, what were you doing in the house just now?" Chu Miaoshu asked again.

"After wiping the flowers, make tea." Ye Tangcai said lightly, remembering the scene of making tea at that time, the prince's unscrupulous gaze made her feel sick with indescribable nausea.

She had to put things in as soon as possible, she didn't want to come to this crappy place again.
