You are the One and Only - C67 Not a single inch
Qin Nuo sat there speechlessly, looking at Old Fifteen, who could not hide her glee. The ignorant Old Sixteen and Old Seventeen could not lose their temper with them, and could only glare at the mischievous eighth brother. She didn’t need to go into detail to know that Old Eighth must have a rotten idea to trick her into returning to the main house!
Actually, Qin Nuo had already guessed it when she was in Qinxin and she saw the changes in the room that she was in and knew that Ying He was the only one there to serve her. She didn’t have any thoughts in her heart. Anyway, since things had come to this day, it didn’t matter where she lived nor what she cared about!
Ling Yexuan’s eyes revealed a trace of laughter, and he silently looked at Qin Nuo. The woman was staring at the eighth brother without looking at him, but he could see a trace of helplessness in her eyes.
Eighth Brother’s idea was not bad, otherwise, having her return to the main house would be quite a troublesome matter! If he forced her to do so, it would only cause trouble again! He was coaxing her, yet he couldn’t open his mouth!
“third Sister-in-Law, you better not be unhappy!” Old Fifteen grabbed Qin Nuo’s arm and swung him around. If you are not happy, I will be sad! ”
“No!” third Sister-in-Law is not unhappy. ” Qin Nuo pinched Old Fifteen’s small face. You guys are so smart, don’t mention how happy third Sister-in-Law is! It’s just that you guys are not tired from such a long journey, do you want to go take a rest? ”
“I’m not tired!” “Old Sixteen immediately followed up. third Sister-in-Law is with us, we are not tired. ”
Old Seventeen nodded heavily.
These two were the best at selling small things. The moment they appeared, they would stick to the third Sister-in-Law and even play with it no matter what it was! If it weren’t for their small status, he would have really beaten them up! If not for the Old Sixteen, he would not have been able to trick the third Sister-in-Law back to the main house by herself.
Qin Nuo was very speechless. These children had obviously been brainwashed by Ol ‘Eight, and it was likely that they would even pester her for a whole day!
When he looked at Ming Liu and Bi Tao, although they had their heads lowered as they waited on the side, the smiles on their faces were clear. These two girls could not be said to be the accomplices of today’s events, but they would definitely be happy to do so.
When lateral consort was happy, there would inevitably be people in the Duke Palaces waiting to see Chief Consort make a joke out of him. But now that Ling Yexuan wanted her to move back to her main house, it was undoubtedly to gag those people and give her a peace of mind.
However, giving this Calming Pellet to the lass s was the best, as it saved them from nagging by his ear again.
The news of the wangfei moving back to the main wife spread even faster than the news of joy in concubine! As a result, Ling Yexuan ordered Ming Liu and the rest of the four servants to personally go to the wives to pass on his message. The Empress had moved back to the main house.
Seeing that Ling Yexuan had made all the arrangements, Qin Nuo did not seem to have any objections, and Old Eight brought Old Sixteen and him back to the palace. She only left behind Old Fifteen to accompany Qin Nuo and talk.
Ling Yexuan did not object to the eighth brother leaving behind Old Fifteen. He knew, at the moment, Qin Nuo did not want to see him, so he had to give her time. If he treated her with the forceful attitude from before, he would only let her get further and further away from him.
Jing Shuyi leaned on the brick bed, and gently caressed her lower abdomen. Even though she felt awkward in her heart when Ming Liu told her about moving back to the main wife in the afternoon, but no matter what, that woman was still the Prince’s Chief Consort.
“Madam, I have to pay my respects to Empress again tomorrow. Do you want to tell Your Highness that Madam is just pregnant and needs to recuperate? I won’t be going!” Zhuo Tao observed Jing Shuyi’s expression and asked carefully.
Perhaps it was because she had instigated too much last time, but the concubine’s attitude towards her had subtly changed. There weren’t that many, but she gradually realized that the concubine didn’t treat her as she did before.
One had to know, when the Empress entered the palace, she brought along Ming Liu and Ying He. After all, they came from the palace and knew the rules of the palace.
Although she was not satisfied, she could not say anything. As someone who grew up in the Wei Guo Mansion, Mo Ju could be considered to have seen a bit of the world. That girl from the Prime Minister’s residence who had the air of a scholar, could not even be compared with her!
Hearing Zhuo Tao’s words, Mo Ju was about to say something, but was signalled by Jing Shuyi and shut her mouth immediately.
“No need! My own body knows it. Furthermore, not going to pay my respects after having just gotten pregnant made me seem like a pampered and proud person. Aside from the Empress s, I am the first one to be pregnant. I have to act like everyone else. ” Jing Shuyi said leisurely, there was not a trace of disdain on his face. You’ve been busy all day and you’re tired. Those little lass s are scared witless. In the future, at night, you can just keep the Inulin to stay for the night. ”
“Madam has thought it through thoroughly, and this servant is only thinking of Madam’s body, I’m getting impatient!” Zhuo Tao immediately laughed, gently kneeling to Jing Shuyi, he quietly retreated.
Outside the door, Zhuo Tao heaved a sigh of relief. This concubine is watertight, I wonder if she is actually someone from the Prince Jing! However, so what if she was a member of the Prince Jing? It was just like how she would rather keep her humble body as a girl than leave the palace when she had feelings for the king!
Furthermore, the concubine already had a child of the Prince, so naturally, she would wholeheartedly follow the Prince!
The next day, the three madams and seven concubines arrived early.
After hearing the little girl say that Jing Shuyi was here, Bi Tao couldn’t help but look at Ying He and Ming Liu. She, Ming Liu and Ying He had nothing better to do, so she made a small bet to see if concubine would come greet them.
Seeing Ming Liu slightly raise her mouth, Bi Tao and Ying He looked at each other and smiled. This time, Ming Liu lost!
“Has Your Highness not woken up yet?” Qin Nuo looked at the few girls laughing and frowning, and knew that they were probably betting on something, showing that Ming Liu had lost and was feeling sorry for her money.
“Not yet! This servant will send Qingfeng, Qingxue and Qing Shuang to take care of them, Empress can be at ease. ” Ming Liu hurriedly replied. Ever since Qing Yu was dismissed, only these three girls remained as they were the only ones who had profited today. As for the others, they were either too small or had never been to the frontlines before and could only be used as tools.
Qin Nuo laughed, she did not say anything, and only focused on her reflection in the mirror.
“Give me some rouge!” “It doesn’t look rosy enough.”
“Yes sir!” Bi Tao promised. He picked up the rouge to give Qin Nuo a light blush, but he could not help but sigh in his heart.
The Empress always liked to be plain and plain, not liking rouge or the like at all. Only on the two occasions when they had entered the palace did she use some of it. Now, it was obvious that she had been wronged. Even her preferences had changed.
Qin Nuo looked at the mirror again, looking up and down for a long time before finally going outside.
Seeing that Qin Nuo had come out, the ten of them quickly stood up and paid respects to him.
“Empress!”
“Take a seat!” Qin Nuo continued to wear her indifferent smile, and looked at the few of them one by one. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my sisters, and I really do miss you. If it’s cold today, everyone should wear more clothes and get the house to be heated up. Don’t let the air get cold and let the prince worry about you. ”
“Many thanks to the Empress for your compassion.” Everyone hurriedly said.
“The Consort had originally wanted to go visit the Empress, but the Prince said that the Empress had not fully recovered and was not allowed to disturb her. Today, when I saw that the Empress’s expression was extremely good, I thought all of it would be better! ” Mu Rulan did not wait for the others to speak and took the initiative to speak.
“Thank you for your trouble! I have already recovered a lot, but fortunately, Your Highness discovered me in time. ” Qin Nuo gently smiled at Mu Rulan. It is obvious to see that such an insignificant skill cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Prince! ”
“The Empress is a blessed person, so she will naturally be able to turn the tide.” An Kexin smiled as she answered. The Empress’s complexion is even better than when she was married. ”
“Right now, this mansion is truly full of happy things! First, I sent away all the people with ill intentions, and now that concubine is pregnant, I am really happy. ” Mei Yue said as well. Mei Yue had always liked to speak pretentiously, her voice was also louder than the others, sounding like she was always putting on a show!
“That’s right! The concubine s have not congratulated concubine yet. ” Mu Rulan said as she slowly stood up and bowed to Jing Shuyi. Congratulations concubine. ”
“There is no need for Madam Mu to be so courteous.” Jing Shuyi raised the corner of her mouth into a smile. This who had made an exception and brought up his position seemed to be very popular with the princess, and he liked to flatter her even more. Although he was the first to congratulate her, his tone was indifferent. It was just a formality.
Seeing that, the others all stood up to congratulate Jing Shuyi, who had said a few words of courtesy. With a smile on his face, she went to look at Qin Nuo.
“Speaking of which, the one who deserves to be congratulated the most is the Empress. Although there are some small twists and turns, it is a blessing in disguise.
Although Jing Shuyi’s words were very direct, they were at the same time gentle and sincere. There wasn’t the slightest hint of ridicule, and Qin Nuo couldn’t help but think of Jing Shuyi’s elder sister. Compared to Jing Shuyi, that Crown Princess Jing was indeed a lot more impetuous.
“concubine is kind!” Qin Nuo still maintained the appropriate smile on her face. Now that you have a son of the prince, you don’t have to come and pay respects every day, especially since the moon is still young. You should be more careful and take good care of yourself. When the Prince comes back, I will remind him to personally pick out a few people who will benefit from the competition and also clean up the small kitchen of Meng Xin Yuan to make a special dish that will make your heart proud. ”
“The Empress has thought it through thoroughly.” Hearing Qin Nuo’s words, Mu Rulan immediately followed up. Your Highness still hasn’t thought about it, the Empress has already thought about it. It can be seen that the Empress’s heart is only concerned with the matters of the concubine because of Your Highness, and that’s why she treats the matters of the concubine as her own. ”
Qin Nuo lifted the tea on the table and lightly sipped. This Mu Rulan really knew how to speak, every word she said made people feel comfortable. Just that, when there were people feeling comfortable, there were already people feeling uncomfortable. Looking at Jing Shuyi’s slightly changed expression, one could tell that this concubine was being overly worried!
In fact, Jing Shuyi was not to be blamed, that was what Mu Rulan meant in the first place. She moved from the Qinxin to the main house, and there was always a kitchen inside, and it was not even needing anyone to remind him that the Prince had personally ordered someone to set it up! A perceptive person wouldn’t need to think too much to understand. In the end, who was more important in the prince’s heart!
“The Empress thinks for the Consort wholeheartedly, so the Consort naturally can’t thank you enough.” After a while, Jing Shuyi finally opened her mouth. Since the Empress has spoken, it would be better for the Consort to obey. From tomorrow onwards, we will not pay our respects to the Empress. ”
“I am one with the Prince and his wife, and his business is my business. Even if you don’t care, just for the sake of the child’s thoughts, you should take care of the concubine. No matter what, I am the child’s mother. ” While Qin Nuo was speaking, he did not look at Jing Shuyi, but picked up the teacup, and leisurely took another sip.
Jing Shuyi’s face, which was originally smiling, instantly stiffened. This Empress really knew what she didn’t like to hear! However, even though she was pregnant, the princess still refused to budge an inch. It was clear that she wasn’t a good person either!
“The Empress is right!” Jing Shuyi took a deep breath and smiled again. Even if you don’t care, just for the sake of children, Consort will always be careful! “
