Moonlight Drying Valley Works The Concubine's Daughter Schemes to Marry the Best King Consort The Concubine's Daughter Schemes to Marry the Best King Consort Volume 1 Chapter 125 Medicine (1)

  Lying on the comfortable bed, thinking about her recent achievements, Jiuzi quickly fell asleep.

  After last night, she no longer had any worries at all.

  For her immature little body, she still has "confidence", this is the first; secondly, this self-respecting and proud man will not force her to do what is difficult for her.

  But soon Jiu Jie discovered she was wrong ——

  Just as she was wandering on the edge of her dream, she suddenly felt that the quilt on her body had been lifted up, and a pair of hands slipped into her clothes like snakes.

  She woke up with a start.

  In the darkness, I opened my eyes, but found that everything was the same. The quilt was still covering me perfectly, and my clothes were intact, just like... as if everything that had happened earlier was just a dream.

  Dream? !

  But this dream was a bit too real, she could even clearly feel the rough calluses on the big hands that stroked her neck.

  She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the man beside her, but the perfect inverted triangle of his back made her furrow her brow in an instant.

  Not...

  Was it still the residual memory of the previous night? The man's hands, accustomed to holding knives and guns, were not only full of strength but also thick with calluses.

  But...

  Took another look at the motionless man's back, forget it... maybe I really did get it wrong.

  She turned over, wanting to continue sleeping, but found that she couldn't sleep no matter what. She turned over again, still unable to sleep, and finally had to turn back once more... Repeating this process multiple times, yet not daring to make too much noise, fearing that the sleeping man would wake up, which might truly be... dangerous.

  But she didn't know that as she tossed and turned, the man beside her suddenly opened his narrow eyes, and a sly smile floated on his handsome face.

  His little wife was still "baking pancakes", but he adjusted his body with a rather comfortable look, then closed his eyes and fell asleep...

  The next day, Jiu Jie was still woken up by Qing Xiang. As soon as she opened her eyes, she looked around and found that the place beside her was empty.

  "The king got up at three o'clock in the morning and went out for court after breakfast." Having followed her for many years, Qing Xing naturally knew what she wanted to ask.

  "Oh..."

  "I originally wanted to call you, but Wang Ye said it wasn't necessary, so I didn't." Qing Xing added.

  This remark made Jiujiu stunned for a moment. Why didn't he let her call him? Was it because of that hand last night? Is he feeling guilty and that's why he's acting like this?

  But is it possible? A man with such a cold face and attitude would actually make that kind of joke with her, wouldn't he...

  She was still full of doubts on this end, but the green apricot on that end had already fetched water for her to wash up, so she didn't have time to think about it anymore. She quickly tidied up and after finishing, she still needed to go pay respects to Empress Meng.

  Just as they were about to have dinner, Cui Qiao came in and said, "Miss, several aunts have come to serve you?"

  She didn't think twice about wanting to turn them away, but the words of refusal reached her lips and she swallowed them back, nodding, "Let them in."

  Cui Qiao led several people in.

  Yeah, she's still relatively satisfied because those few people seem a lot more honest now.

  Although this may just be on the surface, it's about all she can handle, and she really hasn't thought of trampling them underfoot.

  It's all men's fault, so why make life difficult for women?

  Besides, she really didn't have the idea of competing with them for anything. What's there to compete about? Looking at these delicate faces and good years, and then looking at Chao Yu's bulging belly, she was already completely disheartened.

  This doesn't belong to her!

  I hope this peace can last for a few more days, giving her some time to think about which path to take next...

  "Pay respects to Princess Wang (sister)!" She thought for a moment, and several people had already knelt down.

  "Alright, let's get up!" She hastily laughed and gestured to Cuijiao on the side to help the struggling Qiaoyu get up.

  "Thanks, Princess Wang (sister)!" The faces of several people couldn't help but relax for a moment.

  She naturally saw it in her eyes, secretly smiled, and suddenly said, "The few aunts haven't eaten yet, come on, come over and have some together."

  Several people heard this and were stunned, unable to help but look up at her.

  She also looked back at several people, with a calm and self-possessed smile on her face.

  Soon, several people moved their gaze away, and the leading Wang Yiniang hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, sister, for your kindness, but this is not in line with etiquette. We came early to serve you lunch, not to freeload."

  What he said was not only appropriate but also quite humorous, and instantly everyone present burst out laughing.

  This Wang Yan Niang is indeed a smooth talker, it seems that the bait was thrown correctly that day. Jiū Jiě couldn't help but secretly nod in her heart, but on the surface, she scolded her, "Where's the need for so many rules?"

  "Let's go! Let's go!" The king's wife said immediately and led the way to set up the meal, and several people naturally followed quickly.

  "It's all said and done, sigh... You guys are really something!" Jiujie naturally made a embarrassed yet helpless expression again, but took advantage of the situation to enjoy the service from several people, and sat down at the table with Cuijiao's support.

  Uh...

  She didn't want to, but sometimes this show and pretence was necessary. She really had nothing in common with these women.

  It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't!

  But she wasn't an ancient person after all, so after the meal was served, she sent a few people back. No more, with so many people serving her, she couldn't eat anymore.

  After dinner, she went to Taihe Hall accompanied by Cuiqiao and Qingxing.

  Although it has been tossed around for half a day, the sky outside is just getting bright, and it's only 6 o'clock in the morning of the previous life.

  Although it was so, when she arrived at Taihe Hall, Qin Shi and Xiao Yan Shi had already arrived.

  The old lady Meng had not yet come out, and the two were sitting and chatting in a low voice. Seeing her coming in, they immediately shut their mouths.

  She didn't take it seriously, but instead smiled and politely greeted the two of them.

  The two of them were made quite uncomfortable by her actions, especially with Old Lady Luo and several maids going in and out on the other side.

  Fortunately, they were able to make up for it in time, so the two of them also returned her gift and then warmly chatted with her. The previously cold and tense atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

  Then, Luo's mother couldn't help but smile and nod secretly, then turned around and went into the inner room.

  Looking at Luo Mama's back, Jiu Si Er's eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly.

  Yesterday, when she came back, she brought some soap, not only gave it to the masters in the house, but also left some for Cui Qiao to give to some of the housekeepers, including Luo Mama, and there was a box of crayons.

  Because Luo Mama has a little grandson who is five years old this year, and it's the age of being lively and curious, giving him these crayons can be said to be very suitable.

  As expected, when Madame Meng came out a little later, she was especially gentle and courteous to her, asking about the situation of her family's elders one by one, saying that she had been too busy yesterday to ask.

  Qin and Xiao Yan were left hanging, naturally filled with awkwardness.

  "...Grandma's health hasn't been good, and with more idle things happening at home in the past two years, Little Jiu has somewhat neglected her etiquette, unlike her two sisters who understand the rules. I hope Mother will teach her more." But Ninth Sister glanced at the two people who were being cold-shouldered and suddenly changed the subject.

  This remark naturally said technology, not only for two people to solve the siege, but also in front of Meng Taifei showed their cleverness and progress.

  "Where? Fourth Brother is being humble." Qin's tone was moved, but the gaze she shot over had a hint of deep meaning.

  "Yes, yes......" Little Yan also hurriedly laughed, but her laughter was a bit fake.

  Her intention was naturally understood by both of them, but it could only be this way, because what she did and said was indeed flawless.

  "Alright, alright, everything is fine, everything is fine..." Seeing the three of them getting along so harmoniously, Old Lady Meng couldn't help but feel delighted. She glanced at one person, then another, and smiled sweetly.

  "Mother, yes, you said yesterday that there was something to discuss with us, what is it?" Then the young Mrs. Yan asked Old Lady Meng again.

  Upon hearing this, the smile on Old Lady Meng's face slightly faded, and she became much more solemn.

  What's wrong?

  Seeing Old Lady Meng like this, Ninth Sister couldn't help but secretly ponder, then quietly glance at Qin Shi and Xiao Yan Shi on the side.

  Qin Shi still had that signature look, with an expressionless face and drooping eyelids.

  Xiao Yan's eyes were fixed on Old Lady Meng, waiting for an answer, but Jiu didn't see any expectation on her face.

  Could it be... She couldn't help but furrow her brow again, these two knew...

  She was thinking about it properly, but the other side's Meng Taifei had already spoken up, looking at her and Xiao Yan Shi, "Actually, it's not me who wants to discuss something with you two, it's your second sister-in-law."

  "Hmm..." It turned out that Qin Shi didn't know or was the one who started it, and Jiu couldn't help but.

  "In the past, it was your second sister-in-law who took care of things at home, but recently she hasn't been feeling well and fourth brother has also gotten married, so she wants to hand over this responsibility and let you all take care of things at home..."

  "This can't be done," just as Old Lady Meng's words had fallen, that young woman, Yan Shi, already spoke up. "Second Aunt has managed the household for many years and has always done a good job. What do I understand? Let Second Aunt continue to manage it. If Second Aunt feels her body is not up to it, she can dispatch me at any time."

  "Yes, Xiaojiao is new here and can't handle such a heavy responsibility. Let Er Sao continue to manage it!" Jiujier also hastily said.

  The two of them must have been talking about this in a low voice just now.

  I don't know how much sincerity this widow has in yielding power. And it seems that Little Yan also overdid it a bit.

  "Mother, but... I really..." It seems that Qin Shi was indeed sincere. Seeing the two of them persisting in this way, she immediately furrowed her brow and looked at Old Lady Meng.

  "All right, all right. Since both of you think it's not suitable for now, then just put up with it for a while longer and talk about it again when the time is right." said Old Lady Meng.

  "This...alright." Hearing Old Lady Meng say this, Qin Shi also nodded in agreement.

  Qin nodded, and Xiao Yan immediately cast a triumphant glance at Jiu.

  Uh... Ninth Sister was taken aback, looking at her.

  "By the way, Mother, I asked for some medicine for you when I went out yesterday. Take a look."

  But Xiao Yan had already stopped looking at her, turned around, took out a small black sandalwood box, and presented it to Empress Meng.

  "What kind of medicine is this? Is it effective?" Meng Taifei questioned, looking at the small black pills in the opened ebony box.

  "Of course it works, this medicine was given by the gods."

  "It's even more mysterious now."

  "It's not just that, Mother, it's really a divine spirit..."

  ……

  Digression

  Xiao Yan is a fierce and arrogant person, hehe, let's see how our Ninth Sister uses her wisdom to dampen his arrogance.

  Yang Guofeng is evil, isn't he?

  There is still one more watch at night!

  It's not that I'm lazy at night, mainly because I was busy in the morning and just had some free time now, so I went to sleep after finishing my work!
