Chapter 80
The two masters and servants faced each other silently, Qin Chu couldn't help being amused as he looked at the disaffected little maid: "Why, don't you want to clean the toilet?"
Guan Zi looked at his master's expression, recalling the past, the master has always had a reckless temperament, when he is happy, he is willing to reward her with a few ingots of gold, and when he is unhappy, he can take a cane to make her unable to walk.
But since the night of the Lantern Festival, the master has changed. The master doesn't beat her anymore, and he won't let her deal with others just because he doesn't like others.
This change made the little girl happy. The only thing she didn't like was that although the master stopped beating her, he always punished her to clean the toilet.
She is the future chief steward of the Qin family, it would be too embarrassing to talk about it.
Qin Chu's changes invisibly gave the little maid courage.
"Miss, do you want Miss Qiu to stay overnight?"
Qin Chu raised his eyebrows: "Continue."
The jar took a deep look at her: "Miss, are you stupid? Miss Qiu is already engaged to you. What does that mean? It means that you can keep her. When the time comes, as long as you give orders, the servant will open the doorWith a lock, no one can spoil your good deeds, so why beat around the bush like this?"
She is the best at guarding the gate, and no one can break in.
Qin Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If Ms. Qiu doesn't want to, how can I stay? Do you force me to stay? What's going on in your mind? Is your lady the kind of forceful person?"
She is not Miss Qin, the original owner, and she doesn't have hobbies that make others difficult, especially in emotional matters. The most important thing is your love and my wish.
Guan Zi didn't take it seriously and said: "Miss, you used to be like this, besides, Miss Qiu also likes you."
The corner of Qin Chu's mouth twitched: "She likes me, but she won't mess around with me, you'd better clean the toilet honestly."
What a bad idea, she would be a fool if she really listened to it.
Hearing that he still couldn't escape cleaning the latrine, Guan Zi's face twisted for a moment, and he said unwillingly: "Miss, you still know that you are messing around, so you still let the slaves clean the latrine, and don't do to the slave what you don't want, with youIs this a way to vent your anger on others?"
She is the most important maidservant of the young lady, the future housekeeper of the Qin family!
Qin Chu couldn't help laughing out loud, why don't you do to your slaves what you don't want?
She coughed lightly and straightened her expression: "Jinzi, I've changed my mind."
"Really, the servant doesn't have to clean the toilet anymore?" Guan Zi looked surprised, she knew that the young lady was soft-hearted and had to fight for everything by herself.
Didn't she just win it for herself, keeping the majesty of the butler.
Qin Chu said in a low voice: "It's not necessary today, starting from tomorrow you will clean a latrine every day when you return home, for seven days in a row."
Seeing that she still can't control this little maid.
Jars opened its mouth, eyes full of grievances.
Mischievous young lady, thanks to her being happy just now, she was so active in giving ideas.
Because of this punishment, the little maid was sluggish all the way, not looking at Qin Chu squarely.
When getting off the carriage, she wanted to stick out her foot and trip the master, but fortunately she held back, otherwise it would not be a matter of cleaning the toilet for seven days.
Qin Chu looked at the little servant girl who was frowning, and kindly reminded: "If you don't want to sweep for seven days, you can finish sweeping today."
"Okay, I'm going to sweep it now, miss, you're so kind." Hearing that, the jar was overjoyed.
Compared with sweeping for seven days and one day, of course you have to choose one day, because you can somewhat maintain the majesty of the big housekeeper, otherwise, how can you live by sweeping the toilet.
After cleaning everything, the little maid put the broom away and slowly fell into self-doubt.
The lady seemed to let her clean the toilet for a day from the beginning, she fought for a long time to fight for loneliness, why did she still think that cleaning the toilet for a day was a good thing.
Damn it, miss is rotten...
The night was as cold as water, some people slept peacefully, and some little maids kept slandering their young lady.
At the dawn of dawn, Qin Chu tidied up and entered the palace. He carefully checked the amount of drinks needed for the longevity banquet. Because men and women have different preferences, they tentatively ordered fruit wine, yellow rice wine, and a little white wine. She looked in and out.The palace maid rubbed her neck and prepared to leave the palace.
The red palace walls are covered with blue tiles, and the eunuchs and maids who come and go keep their eyes on each other, and they all abide by the rules.
Qin Chu looked back at him casually, paused for a moment, and almost lost his footing when he saw the person clearly.
If she read it correctly, it was the Second Prince who was talking to Director Hu.
As if aware of her scrutiny, the second prince looked this way, showing a malicious smile.
It was as if Qin Chu was already a grasshopper in his hands, ready to be crushed to death at any time.
Qin Chu's heart was shocked, and he didn't understand where the second prince who had been relegated to Ankang Bo got such confidence.
She hurriedly withdrew her gaze and hurried out of the palace.
All the way back to the wine pavilion, Qin Chu felt uneasy, and ordered someone to send a box of fruit wine to the Princess Anguo's mansion, and asked the jar to deliver ten cups of milk tea to the third prince.
The two people who received the news rushed over one after another.
The third prince was close and came one step ahead. When he saw Qin Chu, he complained: "What are you doing with so much milk tea? It made my ears turn red. Concubine Li is too ruthless."
He said complaining words, but his face was filled with a happy smile.
Qin Chu rolled his eyes: "Cultivation has come to fruition? Congratulations."
"Well, it should be soon." The third prince laughed foolishly, completely different from the gloomy and lecherous appearance in front of him.
While talking, Princess Anguo arrived.
Qin Chu got down to business: "I saw the second prince in the palace today, and he smiled at me."
The third prince: "..." Just because the second prince smiled at her, the sister sent ten cups of milk tea, causing his ears to turn red by concubine Li.
He was about to complain, when he suddenly realized something: "You said that the second emperor brother has entered the palace, and he still smiled at you? He can still laugh at this moment?"
Something is wrong, something is wrong, there must be something wrong.
Qin Chu said without changing his face: "Since the empress has allowed him to participate in the longevity banquet, it is not unusual for him to enter the palace. When I saw what he was explaining to Manager Hu, I always felt uneasy, so I invited you two to come..β
It's really because the second prince's smile is too weird, not to mention full of malice, but also mixed with some inevitable.
It was as if he had held her in the palm of his hand.
After being silent for a while, Princess Anguo looked at the third prince: "If I remember correctly, the eldest brother Li Fangfei in your house is the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, and she walks in front of the imperial court. Did you notice who the second child is related to?"Intersection?"
"Aunt Huang, what do you mean?" The third prince was startled. Could it be that the second prince wanted to take advantage of the longevity feast to plot against him?
Since the emperor's aunt asked about the forbidden army, he must have thought that.
Princess Anguo nodded her head heavily: "How can a person like the second child be willing to be a useless person, he has the courage to fight to the death."
This is also the reason why she asked the third prince a bunch of questions yesterday. The second prince was raised up under the doting and protection of the empress. How could the proud son of heaven be reconciled once he got stuck in the mud and became an ordinary person.
Qin Chu sighed softly, she also thought of this point, some people may be willing to be mediocre from a master to an ordinary person, but some people will not, because they cannot accept that kind of gap, they will not be reconciled, and will fight with their backs.
In particular, the second prince still has the confidence to have a male empress, Chief Manager Hu and others. It may not be impossible to take a risk for the throne.
"I'll go into the palace." Princess Anguo stood up solemnly.
"Imperial aunt, we are just guessing, Empress, she..." Will the empress believe it?
The third prince was a little worried.
Princess Anguo smiled: "Although Zhou Xie favors the male queen and the second prince, she is not stupid, and she is wise and wise. She knows some things better than us, but she just doesn't want to think in that direction. Don't worry.Even if something happens, it will happen to me alone, and I will not mention you when I enter the palace this time."
"Aunt Huang, nephew didn't mean that, think twice."
Princess Anguo waved her hand: "No need to say too much, I know it well."
Just like she decided to give up the throne to Zhou Xie many years ago, she believed in her choice, and believed that Zhou Xie knew the importance of the matter, and at certain moments, she could not favor one's own interests.
The princess of Anguo left, and the third prince sighed: "Sometimes I think, if the queen mother has a few daughters, maybe there will be no such thing as our three brothers. The world is impermanent."
The empress had given birth to three princes in a row, and none of the empresses was born. Otherwise, according to the empress' temperament, it might not be the second prince who favored her, but a certain intelligent princess.
It's a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes, as if everything is doomed.
After calming down for a while, the third prince looked at Qin Chu who had been silent all the time: "Sister? Why didn't you speak up? Are you so frightened?"Itβs rare, of course itβs on TV, it really happened to me, itβs normal to be a little scared, to tell you the truth, Iβm actually scared too.β
Qin Chu rolled his eyes at him: "I was thinking about something, do you think Princess Anguo's trip to the palace will be successful?"
If the empress still prefers the second prince, then Princess Anguo is in danger.
The third prince frowned: "Whether it is successful or not, we will know soon. It depends on whether the emperor's aunt can leave the palace with her beard and tail today."
The two were silent, sitting in the private room and waiting according to the anxiety in their hearts.
Until sunset, people from Anguo Princess' Mansion came to deliver a letter, saying that Anguo Princess drank with the Queen in the palace, got a little drunk, and went back to the mansion to sleep.
Qin Chu and the third prince looked at each other, and let out a sigh of relief like the rest of their lives, and it was done.
In this way, since the Queen got the letter, they don't have to worry about it.
Late at night, the palace.
Empress Zhou Xie rubbed her somewhat muddy head and let out a mouthful of alcohol.
"Hu Da, help me go to Kunning Palace."
In the Kunning Palace lives the male empress Su.
Director Hu bowed his head, stretched out his arms, and helped the queen out of the door of the imperial study. He quietly gave the little eunuch beside him a look.
The little eunuch slowed down, fell behind, turned around and trotted around the empress's route to report to Kunning Palace.
In Kunning Palace, the male empress Su showed a look of pain on her face, she clenched her fingers tightly, and put on a calm expression.
"Why is your Majesty drinking, come here, and bring the hangover soup."
The empress sat down while supporting the male queen's hand. In her eyes, the nearly forty-year-old Su family seemed to be the handsome young man when she first entered the palace. Her temperament was elegant, like a snowy plum blooming in the cold winter, unstained by the dust of the world.
"My concubine, I have demoted my second child, do you have any resentment against me in your heart?"
Su's expression was indifferent, she stood beside the queen and rubbed her head, and said in an ethereal tone: "I will remember how your majesty treats our father and son, and the second child is to blame for his foolishness. How dare I blame your majesty."
The queen patted his hand: "It's getting late, I'm going back first."
It turns out that dare not, not that will not.
After the empress left, Mrs. Su swayed and sat down in a daze.
He knew that His Majesty treated him very well, but His Majesty had other male concubines, female concubines, and two sons, but he only had one son.
"to speak"
See you at noon tomorrow~?
