Chapter 180 The Crown Princess Deals with the Useless Palace Maid
Time passed quickly. Before Fang Qingge could find out whether Concubine Xiao had any super powerful space or secrets, the one-month house arrest of Crown Princess Zhao Yaxue expired.
For a whole month, Zhao Yaxue waited and waited, but Queen Qin did not intercede for her and lift the one-month confinement. She was angry with her aunt.
She was even more angry at the cold-bloodedness of her cousin, the Crown Prince. Plus, the Crown Princess's dignity was trampled to the ground in front of those women in the inner courtyard of the East Palace...
Her heart was really hurt during this month.
*
Zhaoling Hall of the Eastern Palace,
The Crown Princess felt uncomfortable holding her breath, so she patted her chest hard to breathe.
Looking at the two disfigured palace maids Xia He and Qiulan who had been lingering in front of her, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded.
"Xia He, Qiu Lan, you two have followed me since you were little, and you are not young anymore.
Your indentures are in my mother's hands in the mansion. I just went to ask my aunt to agree to let you two leave the palace.
You two should pack up and leave quickly!
We are master and servant. I will write a letter to my mother and ask her to find a servant in the mansion or on the farm to marry you two.
But don't hold out too much hope, after all, you two are already disfigured and your looks are ruined. As long as there is someone willing to marry you, don't be picky and just get married!"
When the two heard this, they felt their heads buzzing and confused. They stood there dumbfounded with their mouths wide open in disbelief.
*
Zhao Yaxue ignored them and gave instructions to Nanny Yun beside her.
"Nurse, have someone follow them and pack up quickly. Get out before the palace gates are locked!"
Although Nanny Yun already knew the result, she still felt a chill in her heart when she saw this scene.
He responded,
"Yes, Princess. Can you two follow me?"
It was only when Nanny Yun stepped forward and shouted that the two frightened palace maids were awakened.
After Xia He and Qiu Lan came to their senses, they cried loudly and suddenly fell to the ground, hitting their foreheads on the ground.
"No, Crown Princess, we won't leave. You promised us to stay with you forever. Crown Princess, you promised, you promised!
We will not leave, wuwuwuwu... We are not disfigured, we will be fine. We will be fine."
The crying of the two people completely annoyed Zhao Yaxue, who was already unhappy. She turned her face and yelled,
"Drag them out for me."
"Here."
Several excited second-class palace maids and two servants immediately ran to the door.
He stepped forward and grabbed the two people. Just as he blocked their mouths, Xia He and Qiu Lan struggled and shouted again.
"Crown Princess, you promised to let us servants serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why do you go back on your word? Don't you want to consolidate your favor? Wuwuwuwu... We want to see the Crown Prince..."
Before he could finish his words, he was gagged and dragged out.
Nanny Yun turned her head away, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness. These were the two maids who had been inseparable from the Crown Princess since they were young!
*
After there was no more movement in the room, Nanny Yun stepped forward and said softly,
"Crown Princess, you are missing two senior maids? Why not take them from our courtyard..."
Zhao Yaxue raised her hand and interrupted Nanny Yun.
“I heard that a new batch of people came into the Ministry of Internal Affairs and they have already learned the rules.
You can just pick two clean, smart and good-looking ones to replace them.
By the way, let’s just call her by the same two names as before, Xia He and Qiu Lan. I’m used to calling her by these two names.”
Nanny Yun was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn't expect the Crown Princess to have such a weird way of thinking. She actually had a little idea this time. So she responded,
"Well, I will go and choose right away."
"Oh, and also, make sure they know the reasons why they were chosen and promoted. If they are useless and don't know what's important, I don't need to say much about their fate."
"Well, don't worry, Princess. I understand."
*
After Nanny Yun bowed and left, the second-class palace maids in and outside the courtyard, who were eager to try and full of expectations, looked in the direction of the main house, but their hopes were suddenly dashed and they became deflated one by one.
They did not have the ambitions of Xia He and Qiu Lan. They were content just to be able to get close to the Crown Prince and breathe a little bit of his aura.
Suddenly, their hope of being able to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince up close was gone, and their hearts were broken.
I really don't understand why the Crown Princess didn't use them, but went out directly to select senior palace maids for promotion?
Instead, he completely forgot about the fate of Xia He and Qiu Lan.
*
Upon learning that the Crown Princess had been released from house arrest, Concubine Zhang of the East Garden came to pay her respects with Li Liangdi, Lu Liangyuan and Concubine Qian.
In the hall of Zhaoling Palace,
After the ceremony,
Li Liangdi looked at Zhao Yaxue and said,
"Crown Princess, you have lost a lot of weight in just one month since we last met?!"
"Thank you for your concern, Li Liang Di. I don't think so."
Zhao Yaxue said somewhat displeased.
"Crown Princess, I've also noticed that you've lost some weight! But your skin has become better after losing weight.
Just like a peeled egg, you are so shiny and tender, we feel ashamed when we compare you to you!"
Concubine Zhang said this in an attempt to smooth things over.
"Really? Hehehe... I also feel that my face is a lot smoother now."
Zhao Yaxue felt a little flattered by the compliment. She raised her hand and touched her face, and her mood improved.
*
At this time, Concubine Zhang asked casually.
"Crown Princess, I wonder what's going on with Fang Liang Di? Without your approval, we dare not go to visit her on our own."
At this point, Concubine Qian added,
"Yes! Princess, you don't know, I heard that Concubine Xiao regained her youth after a serious illness, and her appearance and figure are no different from those of a young girl in her twenties.
Fang Liang Di is hers, do you think she has changed in this month? Oh! I really want to go and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yaxue raised her eyelids and glanced at Qian Min'er who was speaking, without saying anything.
I have already imagined in my mind that if the already charming Fang Liangdi becomes more beautiful, how stunningly beautiful she would be, and I couldn't help but clench my fingers in jealousy.
Li Liangdi suddenly said,
"Crown Princess, it's not your fault that I'm confined to my room.
Haven't you also punished those two self-willed servants around you?
It's all because of those two servants that you took the blame. Now that you're out of confinement, why don't we go visit him together?"
Zhao Yaxue still didn't respond.
*
In the silent atmosphere, the women had different thoughts.
At this time, the slightly plump Lu Liangyuan Lu Jiayi suddenly said,
“Princess Consort, my mother asked someone to bring in a white jade statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbearing, which was consecrated personally by Master Jing’an of Lingguang Temple.
Mother also asked the master for permission, and the master said with certainty that our Eastern Palace would have many descendants. "Would you mind if we could bring the offerings to the inner courtyard temple today?"
Lu Liangyuan's flattery with hidden meaning sounded like a sarcasm to Zhao Yaxue's ears.
