Chapter 394
"Okay, as long as you trust me, I will choose someone who is stable and can help you support the situation. I will think about who to send and I will give you a reply tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Queen Mother."
There was nothing big going on today, so Huilan asked her to go back and look at the account book so that she could get there early. She was still waiting to go out to play.
Xiaoya went back without refusing, but Brother Gan came to court early to pay his respects to Huilan.
"Mother, didn't Xiaoya come to pay your respects?"
"If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back and look at the account books. Is she okay?"
Huilan was afraid that Xiaoya would be hurt and was embarrassed to cry to herself.
"I cried a lot and told me the truth. I felt very uncomfortable. I said that a relationship of eight years is not as good as a man, hahaha!"
Brother Gan couldn’t help but laugh.
"Why are you still gloating and laughing? This kind of thing is the most uncomfortable. Please comfort her."
"I know, I asked the pillar to beat the person below, because she was so thin-skinned that she dared to do this, I will watch.
I see that she is stable, everything in Changle Palace has been arranged, everything is done carefully and thoughtfully, and the treasurer's affairs are almost figured out."
"Well, she is capable. Xiaoya is a good girl with a good personality. I like her very much. You are not allowed to bully others. As I said, I hate girls who climb on the bed, especially those around me. I cannot break this rule.
There is a draft every three years. If you want a woman to tell me seriously, it’s okay for your mother to choose one for you, but you can’t slap your wife in the face like this, it’s not right.”
Huilan doesn't allow it to be like this. It's too despicable to single out the maids who are around your daughter-in-law.
"Mother, my son is such a person. I won't do this. Don't worry."
Brother Gan's repeated assurances made Huilan smile.
"I thought that when Xiaoya can take over the palace affairs, I will go to the farm to play for a few months. Don't rush her. It's been three years since a new daughter-in-law has given birth. Sometimes, I haven't had a baby for several years since I entered the palace. Besides, she is only ten years old. Six years old is too young. It is easy to have a difficult delivery and is unsafe.
How pitiful it is to have three children and two short children. I still have to choose a princess, which costs a lot of money and trouble. I can’t wait to see the child I gave birth to before I got married. There are many advantages to having a baby later."
Huilan wished she could give the palace power to Xiaoya as soon as possible, so that she could play with peace of mind. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so she didn't want to rush her. It's not me who gave birth to the child. My mission has been completed. You can do the rest by yourself. Just worry about it, I can't control that much.
"Yes, I understand, don't worry."
"By the way. Ding Xiang, please give my two plates of fruit to the Crown Princess and say they were gifts from me."
What Huilan gave her was a fruit that nourished her health and replenished her vitality and blood. It was good for a woman's health to eat it, and it also showed that she liked the Crown Princess. Others would not dare to treat Xiaoya lightly, which also indirectly protected the Crown Prince's face.
"Yes, I will go there myself."
"Okay, by the way, Xiaoya wants a maid. Dingxiang, please help me decide who should be the first. If you don't want to be a concubine, you will be a palace maid. Don't let me get you wrong. I won't do anything unpleasant."
Huilan waved her hand.
"In my opinion, Hongqin is suitable. She is younger than Qiuyun, but also older than the girls in front of the Crown Princess. One of them is stability. There is no one in her family and she wants to be an aunt and does not want to leave the palace;
Secondly, she no longer thinks wildly when she is twenty-three. She is good at reading, literacy and arithmetic. She is also the second-class girl of Kunning Palace. She helps me with many things. I can also help the Crown Princess. One or two.”
"Well, you go and ask. If you are willing to go, take her over. Tell her clearly that being a palace maid is a way for the prince and concubine to give her face. If she is not a concubine, she is not allowed to climb into bed, otherwise I will deal with her personally. "
Huilan knew that her daughter-in-law was afraid that her mother-in-law would give someone to her son, so she wouldn't do it. She came here when she was young, so why bother to offend others.
"Thank you, mother, for loving your son."
"Humph! I love my daughter-in-law. She helps me with her hard work and gives me a personal favor. What does it have to do with you? Are you okay? Just go away."
Huilan waved her hand and sent her son away.
"Okay, then my son has resigned."
Brother Gan laughed, bowed and left.
Returning to Changle Palace, Ding Xiang quickly sent the people and rewards to Changle Palace.
Xiaoya came out to greet Aunt Dingxiang, and now everyone calls Dingxiang aunt.
"Auntie, why are you here? Do you have any instructions from the Queen Mother?"
"The Queen asked her slave to bring some fruit for the Crown Princess to sweeten her mouth. In addition, Hong Qin plans to become an aunt. I heard that you are short of someone, so I asked you to come over and help you."
Ding Xiang smiled brightly and bowed slightly to express her intention.
When Xiaoya saw an ordinary-looking palace maid who was over twenty years old, she immediately understood. She said that she was a palace maid who helped a palace maid. She also clearly dressed up and behaved according to her age, and her heart suddenly felt warm.
"Let Queen Mother worry about it. Let Aunt Hongqin follow me from now on."
"Okay, then this slave will resign."
Ding Xiang saluted and left.
"Slave Hongqin is going to present a gift to the Crown Princess. Your Majesty will put on her makeup."
"You are the one in front of Queen Mother Kunning Palace. I couldn't be more relieved. From now on, my aunt will be a first-class palace maid here. I hope Aunt Hongqin can help me more."
"This is natural, slaves are here to work."
Hongqin's attitude was very dignified, showing that she was here to do things.
Xiaoya smiled and nodded, her first impression of Hongqin was very good.
With Hongqin's help, Xiaoya went through the treasurer's books in less than half a month until she knew what she was doing.
He took it to report to Huilan. She was very satisfied after reading it, "Yes, it's good. It's made clear. Very good. Let's do this. I'll leave the palace power to you tomorrow. Anyway, sooner or later, I'll leave it to you." Don’t worry, I’ll leave the palace early to play.”
"Yes, where are you going to play, Queen Mother?"
Xiaoya and Huilan became increasingly familiar and friendly with each other, and they did not shy away from asking too many questions.
"I'm going to visit the Imperial Mansion. The Emperor said he would take me to ride horses and hunt, and we can also go for a walk in the surrounding areas."
"That's great. Then my mother, let me make you a riding outfit. I don't know if it's too late."
"It's too late. I want to go out in the summer. It's easier to pack light and travel easily in the summer."
Huilan nodded repeatedly and looked forward to the new clothes.
"Okay, then I'll look for fabric when I get back. I can finish it in a few days."
Xiaoya agreed immediately.
Huilan nodded happily.
Xiaoya took over the palace and got busy, but Huilan would reward her with some spiritual fruits and spiritual tea every now and then to take care of her body so as not to be really exhausted.
Xiaoya and Brother Gan became more and more familiar with each other, and their relationship became more and more harmonious.
She spent half a month making a beautiful riding outfit for Huilan. It was made of light red material and embroidered with white magnolia. The style of the clothes was very distinctive. Huilan tried it on and was very satisfied.
"It looks good. I like it. I want to wear it to ride horses."
