Chapter 254 You think just anyone can get into my bed?
At first, Granny Zhao favored Shen Muyue.
However, after a series of events and getting to know each other, Granny Zhao realized that Granny Wei had really gotten a good job and chosen a good master.
Now that Shen Muyue has returned to the Left Prime Minister's residence, she came here just to make herself known and gain favor, but who knew that the Seventh Princess didn't like her much, and Su Mowan didn't like her much either.
Fortunately, it was nighttime, otherwise Granny Zhao would have been utterly humiliated.
She chuckled and said to Su Mowan, "This old servant just took the opportunity to come and thank you. Last time you asked Granny Wei to invite this old servant to Huangfeng Garden for dinner, but this old servant didn't dare to go. Now it seems like a regret. Granny Wei is so lucky. This old servant is really envious."
Granny Wei chuckled twice and said happily, "That's true. Consort Su's side is much easier to serve, unlike yours which is so troublesome. It's really a good thing that I was assigned here by the Prince in the first place."
Granny Wei was implying that Shen Muyue was causing a lot of trouble.
Although she didn't interact with Shen Muyue, she kept a close eye on everything that happened in the mansion, and she knew exactly what was going on in the east courtyard.
In addition, he has known Granny Zhao for more than ten years, so it's normal for him to pay attention to her.
Although both Granny Wei and Granny Zhao came from the Empress's side, Granny Wei was the wet nurse that the Empress brought into the palace from Meizhou. Granny Zhao, who joined the palace halfway through her life, naturally could not compare to the bond between Granny Wei and the Empress.
However, when she was young, Zhao Mama was quite clever, which is why Emperor Moyao sent her to the Empress's side, and later the Empress sent her to the Prince of Qin's residence.
It must be said that Granny Zhao is a very perceptive person. However, she misjudged Su Mowan and Shen Muyue.
At first, Granny Zhao thought that Shen Muyue was beautiful and of higher birth than Su Mowan, and that she would definitely be able to suppress Su Mowan in the future and take control of the Qin Prince's mansion.
That's why she didn't tell Granny Wei that she was going to serve in the west courtyard.
Who knew that the outcome would be decided so easily in just one month. Not only was Shen Muyue out of favor, but she also went against Su Mowan at every turn, causing trouble for others from time to time. Moreover, she was arrogant and unpleasant, and not easy to serve at all.
On two occasions, she was even asked to find a way to bring someone over to serve her in bed. Zhao Mama couldn't resist and managed to get it done once.
Who knew that Su Mowan would run into him that time, so naturally he couldn't succeed.
In Zhao Mama's eyes, Su Mowan's favor with the emperor was completely unreasonable. In terms of appearance, Su Mowan was no match for Shen Muyue in her eyes. Furthermore, Su Mowan's femininity was incomparable to that of Shen Muyue.
Granny Zhao thought that any man would like someone like Shen Muyue.
Who knew that His Highness the Prince of Qin had such unusual tastes?
This gave Granny Wei the upper hand once again.
Seeing that Granny Zhao had wisely stepped aside, Su Mowan gave Granny Wei a wink.
She smiled and said, "Granny Zhao, you don't need to flatter me too much. Consort Shen is just as good. I see that you and Consort Shen get along quite well. There's no need to envy Granny Wei. Alright, I'll go in first. Granny Wei, you can stay and keep Granny Zhao company."
"Yes, Consort Su, please proceed."
Granny Wei respectfully stepped aside.
After the Seventh Princess waited for Granny Wei to step aside, she went over and helped Su Mowan, casually touching the fox fur coat a couple of times.
Once inside the palace, the Seventh Princess helped Su Mowan head straight for Murong Jing's bedroom, only to find that he wasn't there; he must have been in the study.
Su Mowan felt her hands and feet were a little cold, so she sat down on the edge of the bed, and the Seventh Princess followed suit.
Seeing this, the two maids knew that it was almost time to rest, so they went out to fetch hot water.
This was the first time the Seventh Princess had sat on her Third Brother's bed. After shifting her position a bit, she simply lay back on the bed, stretched her arms out to the sides, and let out a triumphant sigh.
"I've finally found my chance! My third brother never let me into his room before. Last time, when you were asleep, he wouldn't even let me sit on the edge of the bed! Now that my third brother is away, I'm going to make a mess of his bed!"
"..."
Su Mowan watched helplessly as the Seventh Princess squirmed on the bed.
Finally, the Seventh Princess added slyly, "Sister-in-law, don't tell anyone I did this. I was just taking advantage of the Third Prince's absence to vent my anger. Honestly, you spoke so rudely, did you even consider my feelings?"
Su Mowan knew that the Seventh Princess was still unhappy because Murong Jing said that she and Su Mobai were not a good match, so she let her make a fuss.
Remembering that Shangguan Qingqi had actually handed the Seventh Princess a handkerchief earlier today, a smile flashed in Su Mowan's eyes. She immediately teased the Seventh Princess, "Hey, I think Shangguan Qingqi and you are a better match. Why don't you consider him?"
"Shangguan Qingqi?!"
Upon hearing the name, the Seventh Princess sat up abruptly, glaring and raising her eyebrows, she sneered, "He's alright looking, but you can't ignore the fact that he's a pervert! How disgusting! He has so many women to choose from, yet he insists on liking men!"
How do you know he likes men? Have you met him or what?
"Why would I need to see it? I've heard it's all over the streets! Everyone in the capital knows about it!"
As the seventh princess spoke, she reached out and tugged at the bed curtains, pulling the outermost transparent veil back and forth.
The room had a floor heating system, so Su Mowan's fox fur coat was becoming too loose, and she reached out to take it off.
Upon seeing this, the Seventh Princess quickly moved closer and said solicitously, "Sister-in-law, don't move! I'll take it off for you! Come, come, let me touch it too, ah, such smooth and soft fur! Sister-in-law, can I try it on?"
The seventh princess touched it while exclaiming exaggeratedly. Seeing how much she liked it, Su Mowan said, "Go ahead and try it. It won't hurt a single hair anyway."
"Ah, sister-in-law, you're so kind! Thank you, sister-in-law!"
After the seventh princess finished her exclamation, she continued to work, pulling the soft, long fox fur coat over herself.
Unfortunately, just as she was making her second gesture and hadn't even had time to fasten it, she heard a maid's voice greeting her from outside the door, followed by the soft creak of a wheelchair.
"Oh no, oh no, my third brother is back! Heaven is really not cooperating. Let's try again next time. I dare not let my third brother see me!"
The Seventh Princess hurriedly took it off and then applied it to Su Mowan.
Su Mowan raised an eyebrow curiously, which earned her a sly laugh from the Seventh Princess.
"This was specially prepared for you by my third brother. He definitely wants to see you wearing it as soon as possible. Just wait and see if he can't take his eyes off it!"
Su Mowan: "..."
The Seventh Princess tidied her up again and then clapped her hands in satisfaction.
Just then, the door opened, and the Seventh Princess gestured with her eyes to the creases on the bed, whispering to Su Mowan, "Don't tell me I made this mess."
Su Mowan nodded slightly, indicating that she would not betray her.
The Seventh Princess turned around with relief and called out to Murong Jing as he entered, "Third Brother, you're finally back! Come quickly, come quickly, look how beautiful Sister-in-law Mo Wan is dressed! Tomorrow when I return to the palace, I'll speak well of you to Father, saying that you finally know how to cherish your wife! Oh, and Mother too, if she knew, she would be so happy!"
"..."
Murong Jing ignored the Seventh Princess, who was giving a passionate speech, and looked straight at Su Mowan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. When he saw that she was wrapped in a snow-white fox fur coat, his gaze softened.
Of course, it's only two points, and you can't tell unless you look closely.
When the Seventh Princess saw that no one was paying attention to her, she eagerly pushed the wheelchair and then winked at Su Mowan when Murong Jing couldn't see her.
Su Mowan lowered her gaze slightly and met Murong Jing's eyes.
Murong Jing's gaze was normal, but perhaps because Su Mowan was too nervous, she felt that Murong Jing was still in a whirlwind of emotions.
So he could only pull his fox fur coat tighter around himself and shrink his neck.
Murong Jing's expression changed slightly upon seeing this action. Before he even reached Su Mowan, he said, "If you're cold, why don't you go to bed?"
Su Mowan wasn't cold, but at this moment she had to be.
Before she could speak, the Seventh Princess said, "Third Brother, why are you so nervous? It's warm in here. Besides, your sister-in-law is waiting for you. Someone has already gone to fetch water. I won't disturb you any longer. Go back to sleep first!"
Just then, the wheelchair arrived at the bedside. The Seventh Princess let go, winked at Su Mowan, turned and left, sighing as she went, "Oh, it's really cold where I am."
"..."
Just then, the maid who went to fetch water returned.
The maid placed the basin of water in front of Su Mowan and was about to help her take off her shoes. Su Mowan was about to say that she would do it herself when she heard Murong Jing say, "Step back."
The maid stood up and went out first.
"Lift your foot."
As Murong Jing spoke, he moved closer.
Even if Su Mowan was slow to realize what Murong Jing was going to do, she didn't move her feet. "I'll do this little thing myself."
Murong Jing gave her a cold look, then glanced at her still-bandaged hand.
The meaning is self-evident.
In fact, Su Mowan had wanted to remove the bandage on her hand for a long time, but when she thought that Murong Jing had personally bandaged it for her, she didn't dare to do anything rash.
My palms are starting to scab over, and they're a little itchy, but rubbing them through the gauze doesn't hurt.
Since she couldn't fight Murong Jing's wrath, Su Mowan had no choice but to lift her leg under Murong Jing's intense gaze, making it easier for him to undress.
Having just taken off one side of her clothes, Su Mowan asked curiously, "Those four maids outside don't seem very old. How long have they been in the manor?"
Murong Jing paused in taking off her shoes.
"What do you ask for this?"
"nothing."
Su Mowan put her bare foot into the steaming hot water. Her slightly cold feet felt much better after soaking in the hot water.
However, what he said made His Highness the King of Qin uncomfortable.
Su Mowan said, "I've heard that head maids are usually concubine maids, so I wanted to know if these four are. I noticed that you treat them quite differently. And to be honest, they're all pretty."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Su Mowan's ankle was pinched hard.
Murong Jing's voice escaped through his teeth.
"In your eyes, am I the kind of person who's easy to get into? Do you think just anyone can get into my bed?"
