==Chapter 1==
It is March in spring, but the weather in Jinzhou is suddenly warm and then cold.
It rained just now, and it continued for two days without stopping.
The weather has become cold again, and everything is wet. When the wind blows, the chill creeps into the seams of people’s clothes, making people shiver.
Prince Jin went to the border city first and was not in the mansion. Yao Niang asked someone to send a message to her sister and brother-in-law, asking them to bring the little treasure to her.
Since entering Prince Jin’s Mansion, she has not seen Xiaobao for more than a year.
Yao Niang was favored in the palace, and the princess gave her extra face, so Yao Niang found someone to go out and deliver the message. There were so many people who were willing to do this errand. When the day came, brother-in-law Yao Cheng and sister Huiniang rode in a green-curtained mule cart and arrived at the back door of the palace, where Yaoniang, who was eager and anxious, had already been waiting here.
“Madam, you’d better lead your wife to the mansion. It’s awkward to stand here.” Maid Die’er said.
After hearing this, Yao Niang also realized that there were many people coming and going here, and it was inconvenient to talk. Moreover, she also wanted to kiss Xiao Bao, so she led Hui Niang inside with Xiao Bao in her arms. . As for Yao Cheng, he is a foreigner and is not suitable to enter the inner house. Naturally, he will be greeted with tea and rice.
Along the way, Yao Niang stared at Xiao Bao without falling.
This is her son, the son she gave birth to after all the hard work, but due to many reasons she cannot stay with her. When she left, she was just an infant, but now she has grown so big.
It seems that there is a natural blood connection between mother and son. Xiaobao looked strange at first when he saw Yao Niang, but when he stared at this beautiful aunt, he suddenly laughed and stretched out his little Let Yao Niang hold her fat hand.
Yao Niang’s eyes suddenly turned red, she took Xiao Bao over and held her tightly in her arms. I wanted to cry, but I was afraid of scaring the child, so I could only hold it in with all my strength.
After finally waiting for her to calm down, the group continued walking inside.
Huiniang followed her sister cautiously, looking anxiously at all the luxurious scenes in the carved and painted buildings around her from time to time. Even the maids in this mansion look particularly superior. What they wear on their bodies and hair, the Yao family can be considered a well-off family, but Madam Hui cannot wear such materials and such jewelry.
“Yao Yao, you asked me and your brother-in-law to bring the little treasure. Does the prince know? Will it be any hindrance to you?” When they arrived at the small courtyard where Yao Niang lived, Die’er went down, and Hui Niang then He asked his sister, a little worried.
She looked at her younger sister who was becoming more and more charming.
Today, Yao Niang wore a peach-colored peony flower bra with a twelve-piece Hunan concubine-colored skirt. She wore her hair in a slanted bun, with a red gold silk embroidered with red butterflies inlaid on it.
This step is done extremely delicately. You can see the slightly trembling wings of the few hanging small butterflies when they don’t move, as if they are alive. The butterfly’s mouth is inlaid with a red treasure. The red treasure is not big in size, but its color is so bright that it makes people’s hearts tremble when they touch it.
From time to time, my younger sister stretched out her delicate white hands to help her step forward. She wore rich gold with extremely bright red tones, snowy skin and black hair, watery eyes and red lips. She looked like a picture of a beauty.
Hui Niang is not a man, and her heart melts when she sees her.
Looking at the layout and furnishings in this room, Huiniang knew that her sister was living a very good life now. They probably have some respect in this house, otherwise they wouldn’t be here today.
But Huiniang knew that her sister was different from others in that she was not a perfect person to serve the prince. Although the prince didn’t show any concern at this time, who knows whether he will care in the future, or if he knew about this, he would feel discord in his heart, and it would be bad for his sister to be left out in the cold.
Yao Niang didn’t think so much, she just missed Xiaobao too much.
She had no way to leave the house, so she had no choice but to ask Xiaobao to come to the house. For this matter, she started making arrangements many days in advance. Although she was favored, she couldn’t speak in this mansion. All she could do was look at the princess’s eyes. In order to get the princess to agree to meet her son, she used all her strength to pester him since King Jin returned from the border town. She humiliated Concubine Hu in Siyi Court many times before the princess agreed.
Hearing what her sister said at this time, Yao Niang couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.
But then I thought about it, she was already trembling with fear when she was favored. It would be better if the cold-faced Prince Jin stayed away from her, so as not to put her in danger, fearing that one day she would get in the eyes of the princess and be treated like this by her. deal with.
Actually, there is another thing that Yao Niang doesn’t have the nerve to think about too much, that is, King Jin is too strong, or it may be that he has been in the border town for a long time and has become particularly greedy after returning. As soon as he returned home, he grabbed her all day and night, and it was from this that rumors spread that she was favored.
In fact, apart from doing that thing, Prince Jin didn’t even say a few words to her.
Yao Niang was born in the Xiaojiabiyu family. Her father was a scholar, but he knew a few words and knew more principles than ordinary women. She knew that King Jin was treating her like a toy. But she had to lower her head when she was under the eaves. From the moment she entered Prince Jin’s Mansion, everything happened out of her control.
But she would definitely not tell her sister all this, for fear of causing her worry, so she could only smile and say it was okay.
Is it really okay?
Huiniang didn’t say anything, but her heart was heavy. She always felt that her sister had not changed from her former bright and innocent self.
Here Madam Hui was thinking wildly, while Madam Yao picked up Xiaobao and started teasing him.
The little baby, who is over one year old, speaks in a milky voice when he is having fun. Just hearing this milky voice is enough to make your heart melt.
At this time, Die’er came in from outside and said that the princess called Yaoniang to come over to talk and took Xiaobao with her.
The two sisters looked at each other in confusion. Yao Niang suppressed her uneasiness, hugged Xiao Bao, pulled her sister up and walked out of the room. On the way, in order to appease the anxious Huiniang, he comforted her by saying that the princess was a kind person.
The princess is indeed a kind person. Although she looks a little colder, she treats Xiaobao and Huiniang very differently.
Not only did Hui Niang get a gold bracelet, she also gave Xiao Bao a red gold collar inlaid with treasures. Probably in order to make Yao Niang look good, the princess even put the gold necklace on Xiao Bao herself.
From then on, Yao Niang lost all her uneasiness and turned into tears of gratitude.
She thought a lot. Since Xiaobao could be liked by the princess, would it be easier for her to see her son in the future? Of course, there must be a price to pay. For this, she even thought about the means she would use to keep King Jin in her room when he came back from the border town.
I remember that he liked being in the study very much, but she always refused due to shyness, and even made him unhappy, and he went to look for her for many days. In those days, the princess also treated her with a cold face. It wasn’t until King Jin came to see her again that she started to treat her somewhat favorably.
Otherwise, just try this?
The princess did not stay with Yao Niang and the others for long, saying that she wanted the sisters to spend more time together and talk, so she asked them to leave.
At noon, the princess enjoyed the dishes, and the two sisters and Xiaobao had a very happy meal.
It was still early, so Yao Niang turned away from Die’er and sat with Hui Niang on the big kang under the window, talking while coaxing Xiao Bao to sleep.
Xiaobao leaned in his mother’s arms and slept particularly soundly.
“Tell me, tell me, you didn’t agree to come to the palace to be a nanny, why do you have to serve the prince? Does the prince treat you well?” It was probably the princess’s kindness that made Hui Niang lose her anxiety, so she dared to Say something private like this to your sister.
Yao Niang was still thinking about how to explain to her sister at first, but when she heard the words ‘good or not’, she suddenly blushed.
Is this good? What exactly is good? From an outside perspective, it’s good to be pampered, so he is treating her well, right?
Seeing her sister like this, what else does Hui Niang not understand? He sighed with some sigh and said: “Since the prince treats you well, you should serve him wholeheartedly and don’t worry about losing your place in the future. Xiaobao, don’t worry, with me and your brother-in-law watching, you will never treat him badly.” Children.”
After hearing this, Yao Niang couldn’t help but look down at Xiaobao in her arms, and caressed his little head with some reluctance.
“Sister…”
“You finally have hope. Sister, you don’t have to worry about you all day long. You have to be smarter and fight for what you should and don’t fight for what you shouldn’t… The princess treats you Okay, just be honest and obedient. I am a big woman and you are a young woman, but you must not have any thoughts that you shouldn’t have…”
In fact, Hui Niang didn’t understand the way of life in the palace. She could only try her best to tell her sister some truths she knew, and Yao Niang listened attentively, nodding while listening.
And time passed unconsciously.
Die’er walked in from outside, “Madam, it’s getting late.”
Yao Niang suddenly felt a tearing pain in her heart, and wanted to hold her sister Xiaobao to prevent them from leaving, but she stood up with a forced smile and went to collect things in the bedroom. After entering the room, she secretly wiped away her tears for a while, then wiped her face and walked out holding a bag of things.
Inside are the clothes she has made for Xiaobao in the past few months, several inside and outside, all of which are made of good materials that the princess rewarded her with, as well as clothes made for her sister and brother-in-law. There was also some money, but it was the monthly money she had saved for several months, which was used as food money for Xiaobao to stay at her sister’s house.
She reluctantly sent Huiniang and Xiaobao to the back door. Xiaobao had woken up now and looked at the adults with some confusion. Huiniang sighed and comforted her sister and told her not to be sad. She would bring Xiaobao to visit her when she had the opportunity in the future.
Yao Cheng was already waiting on the mule cart, and Huiniang got on the cart with Xiaobao in her arms.
Yao Niang did not dare to look at this scene. She turned her back and bit her lower lip, determined to please the princess and bring Xiaobao and her sister to the house more often in the future.
Thinking about this, the uncomfortable feeling in her heart finally faded away, and she took Die’er back to the small courtyard.
She has been busy for many days for today. Every time after King Jin leaves, she has to rest for many days to recover. In order to meet Xiaobao these two days, he didn’t even have time to rest. Now that the person was gone, the anger in my heart was relieved, and I suddenly felt very sleepy.
“Die’er, don’t call me for dinner, I want to sleep for a while.” She confessed and entered the bedroom.
Die’er was behind her, looking at the other’s graceful back like a willow swinging in the wind with some jealousy, and cursed Hu Meizi in her heart.
Who in the entire Jin Palace didn’t know that Mrs. Yao got to the position through Hu Meizi’s tricks, and Cheng Ritian shamelessly dragged the prince into her room. Die’er was serving Yaoniang, so she would not run into all kinds of inappropriate scenes. Thinking of that day when she saw a graceful shadow lying on it through the tent, rising and falling, she couldn’t help but blush. At the same time, he took another sip in his heart.
She curled her lips and went in to help Yao Niang change her clothes, but she let out a piercing scream after entering the door.
I saw Yao Niang lying prone on the ground, completely silent, with a trail of black blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.
