After listening to Qin'er's words, Princess Ning felt a lot more at ease. After all, the mother-in-law loved her the most, and it was impossible for her to treat her marriage as a joke. Since the mother-in-law felt that Concubine Yun Gui would not take the opportunity to retaliate, then Concubine Yun must be worth it.
trust.
After Princess Ning figured it out, she had an appetite and ate an extra bowl for dinner. After Princess Ning drank the decoction, she asked Qin'er to go back to rest and said: "Qin'er, you should go back and rest early. Tomorrow
Remember to come with me to pay your respects to grandma early in the morning."
"Yes, Princess." Qin'er said.
Qin'er had just returned to the house, Hua'er was about to go out with the medicine bowl, but Princess Ning stopped her and said, "When my mother came over today, I praised you for taking good care of me."
"Thank you madam for the compliment, but these are what Hua'er should do." Hua'er said.
"No, you are different from Qin'er. In fact, I know that you have always served me very attentively. And this time after Qin'er was injured, you were the one who took care of her. Now only you and Qin'er are left by my side.
, I am also worried that you will be exhausted. I heard you telling Xiaolan that it was your turn to watch the night tonight, how could you ignore your own safety?" Princess Ning said.
"Princess, if someone else is keeping watch at night, I won't be worried," Hua'er said.
"Go back and have a good rest. If you are worried, arrange for two people to keep watch overnight," Princess Ning said.
"Yes, this slave knows." Hua'er said.
"After Qin'er recovers, what should you do if you fall ill again?" Princess Ning said.
"What the princess said is that slaves will listen to the princess." Hua'er said.
"Okay, let them boil the water, I want to take a bath." Princess Ning said.
Hua'er went out and gave orders that the princess wanted to take a bath and change clothes, and the servants hurried to the kitchen to boil water.
After bathing and changing clothes, Princess Ning went to bed early. Hua'er also listened to the princess's instructions and went back to her room to rest.
When Qin'er was alone in the room, she could always think of the charm under Hua'er's pillow. She tossed and turned on the couch and couldn't sleep at all. Suddenly she heard the sound of the door opening, and when she raised her head, she found that Hua'er had returned.
"Aren't you keeping vigil tonight?" Qin'er asked.
"The princess was worried that I couldn't bear it, so she arranged for others to keep watch overnight," Hua'er said.
"Then pack up and rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow morning, right?" Qin'er said.
"Well, you go to sleep first, I'll wash up and go to bed." Hua'er said holding the wooden basin.
Qin'er nodded without saying anything, but after Hua'er went out, she also followed Hua'er out quietly. Qin'er thought Hua'er would be like last night, and ran to the back garden in the middle of the night to take out the doll and curse it. As a result,
, Hua'er really went to fetch water to wash herself. Qin'er was worried about being discovered by Hua'er, so she hurried back to her house.
As soon as Qin'er lay down, she heard Hua'er coming back. Qin'er opened her eyes and said to Hua'er, "Are you back?"
Hua'er thought Qin'er had gone to bed long ago, but Qin'er was startled and said, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Doesn't it mean you have to get up early tomorrow morning?"
"I can't sleep a little, I want to wait for you to come back and talk." Qin'er said.
Hua'er put down the wooden basin and extinguished the candle, then got on her bed and said to Qin'er, "Is Qin'er worried about something?"
"What's on your mind? It's not that you're worried about anything. It's just that after listening to the princess' words today, I realized that you have been working too hard during this period." Qin'er said.
"Qin'er, didn't I say that now that there are only two of us left, we should support each other? It's my duty to take care of you when you are sick. Only if you get better soon can I have the opportunity to be lazy, right?" Hua
The son said.
Hua'er had indeed told her these words before, and she was very moved when she heard them. But since she saw Hua'er holding a doll and cursing people in the middle of the night last night, as well as the charm under the pillow, she felt that Hua'er was too
Terrible.
Fortunately, the candles in the room had been extinguished, otherwise Qin'er's expression would have betrayed her. Qin'er calmed down and said, "Hua'er, you and I are actually at the age of marriage, what are your plans?"
"Plan? What plan can I have? I just can't help myself." Hua'er said.
Last night, she was holding the doll in hopes of serving the prince, but now she actually said that she couldn't help herself. Qin'er felt that Hua'er didn't mean what she said and didn't want to talk to her any more. Seeing that Qin'er didn't speak, Hua'er asked: "What about you?
, what are your plans now?"
"Don't you know all my wishes? I used to dress up beautifully just to attract the attention of the prince. Unfortunately, the prince has never looked at me. So, I have given up. Now I think I am very satisfied to be able to stay with the princess.
Yes, after all the princess is very kind to me." Qin'er said.
"Since you like the prince, I think the princess will definitely grant your wish." Hua'er said.
"I want to know how to be grateful, and I can't let the princess worry about this for me." Qin'er said.
"Anyway, I hope you can fulfill your wish." Hua'er fell asleep after saying the last sentence.
After going to Diqing last night, Qin'er no longer believed what Hua'er said. Seeing that Hua'er had really fallen asleep, Qin'er turned around and quickly fell asleep too.
After greeting their grandmother early the next morning, Princess Ning and Qin'er got on the carriage and prepared to return to the palace. On the carriage, Princess Ning said to Qin'er: "Qin'er, my mother and concubine came over yesterday and mentioned something.
."
Qin'er thought that the madam was talking about her affairs. The madam might still be worried about leaving her with the princess, and the princess had no way to save her. Did she specially discuss with herself to prepare for her to leave the palace?
"Princess, Qin'er will not make things difficult for you. If Madam insists, Qin'er will leave the palace." Qin'er said.
If the madam insists again and again, she will only be monitored by the madam if she stays. In this case, it is better to leave the palace and maybe have a chance of survival.
"Qin'er, you misunderstood. Since the concubine has promised me, she will not change her mind. The concubine came to me yesterday and mentioned that she wanted to reward Hua'er, and I have already agreed. I am worried that you will be too worried and tell me in advance
Just say it." The princess said.
"Princess, Qin'er is happy for Hua'er, how could she not be happy? Hua'er is indeed exhausted during this period, and she should be rewarded," Qin'er said.
"Since you think so, then I don't have to worry," the princess said.
After returning to the palace, the Madam sent someone to deliver two boxes. The nanny beside the Madam said to the Princess: "Princess, this is the Madam's special reward for Miss Hua'er."
"I know, thank my mother and concubine for me." the princess said.
Princess Ning was very curious about what was in the box. After her grandma left, she asked Qin'er to watch and opened the box secretly.
It turned out that there were fifty taels of silver in the box, and the concubine actually gave Hua'er so many rewards. Princess Ning wanted to see how much silver was in the other box, so she opened the other box.
It’s not money, but a box of snacks. This is not an ordinary snack, it is a snack from Baweifang. You must know that you may not be able to buy Baweifang snacks if you have money. It seems that the mother-in-law is
I really like painting.
Princess Ning looked at the two boxes on the table and felt a little depressed. She knew that her mother and concubine did this on purpose, and Qin'er must have been very sad after knowing it.
So Princess Ning said to the nanny beside her: "Nanny, go to my house and bring out one hundred taels of silver."
"What are you doing, Princess?" asked the nanny.
"Do you know what's in the box?" Princess Ning asked.
"It looks like a snack," said the nanny.
"Yes, one of the boxes contains snacks, but the other box contains fifty taels of silver." Princess Ning said.
"What? Madam actually rewarded me with so much silver?" Mammy asked in surprise.
"More than that, that snack is from Baweifang." Princess Ning said.
"Does Madam have any plans?" Mammy asked.
Princess Ning suddenly remembered the words of her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law hoped that Hua'er could serve in her eldest brother's yard. Is it because of this that she was rewarded so generously?
"What kind of plans does the mother-in-law have? She is just tired of Qin'er." Princess Ning said.
"The princess plans to give Qin'er a reward of one hundred taels herself?" said the nanny.
"I want to give a hundred taels as a reward to Mammy and Qin'er. After all, you have been by my side for many years, and I should have rewarded you long ago." Princess Ning said.
"Princess, it's useless for me to keep this money. You'd better keep it," said the nanny.
Hua'er came in and brought some soup. After Princess Ning drank it, she said to Hua'er: "Hua'er, this is a reward from my wife. You should keep it."
"Princess, why did Madam suddenly give this slave a reward? Is it a mistake?" Hua'er said in surprise.
"After my concubine praised you yesterday, she told me that I should reward you well. Originally, I wanted to prepare it for you personally, but who knew that early this morning, my concubine sent me the prepared reward." Princess Ning said.
"My lady gave this reward to my slave? Princess, Hua'er dare not accept it. It's Hua'er's duty to take good care of you and Qin'er. Hua'er really deserves it and shouldn't accept these rewards." Hua'er
He said quickly.
"You can keep the compliments Madam gave you," Princess Ning said.
"It's just..." Hua'er was about to explain.
"You don't have to bear any burden. Since my mother has given it to you, just accept it. These things don't matter, your intentions are the most important." Princess Ning said.
Princess Ning had already said this, and she couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to accept the two boxes. Hua'er sent the rewards back to the house, and then went to the kitchen.
Princess Ning took the opportunity to ask her nanny to take out fifty taels of silver, and said to Qin'er: "Qin'er, there are fifty taels of silver here, just take it."
"Princess, what are you doing?" Qin'er said in confusion.
"There are fifty taels of silver in the painting box. These are prepared by the princess for you. Even if my mother and concubine are partial, I will not treat you like this." The princess said.
"My lord, I was very moved when I heard what the princess said. My lord, how can I make the princess treat me so sincerely? But my lord, I can't take this money," Qin'er said.
"Why can't you take it? This is my reward to you. Just accept it." Princess Ning said.
"Princess, this servant is not even half as good as a painting, how can you have the nerve to accept this money?" Qin'er said.
"Who said you are not as good as Hua'er? You are the one I trust most, and you are the one who is wronged in the princess's mansion. Why can't you accept this money? This money is nothing at all. If you don't accept it, I will be angry.
