Chapter 272 She is an Outdoor Person
Jinzhong hurried back to report, but Yanwan was busy until lunch.
After lunch, when she was taking a nap on the bed, she thought of Jinzhong: "Did he say anything?"
Chunchan massaged her fingers to relieve the fatigue and stiffness caused by writing all morning. Business was not high: "He said that it would take at most two days. Let Wang Chan release the person first to avoid alerting the enemy."
Yan Wan closed her eyes and rested: "It's almost the same as what I thought."
She didn't say much, and Chunchan didn't ask any more questions.
The eldest prince is still a little different to the master.
It can be said that before becoming a concubine, serving the eldest prince was the easiest and happiest time in my life as a palace maid.
It's just a pity that Hai Lan was causing trouble, Concubine Chun was easily influenced, and the eldest prince was just a child who lived under the control of others at that time, and he couldn't protect Yan Wan.
Yan Wan suddenly reached out and pinched Chun Chan's cheek: "Be good, don't regret anything. Even if the eldest prince had the ability to protect me back then, what would it matter? It would only be a temporary comfort.
He even looked down on Concubine Chun's niece, let alone me, a maid with no family background? Even if he went against Concubine Chun for me, he would put the blame on me in the future for Concubine Chun's embarrassment of him. When he gets married in the future, won't he let his wife and concubines harass me?"
She chuckled, "A man who only thinks about climbing up the social ladder and flattering the powerful and trampling on the weak is unreliable no matter what."
Since power depends on men, then of course one should choose the best and the one with the highest status. Yonghuang...is he worthy of her working diligently for him?
Chunchan thought about it carefully and found that it was true.
The eldest prince is not a good ruler. He is far worse than the current emperor.
She smiled shyly: "My master always knows what I am thinking without even looking at me."
Yan Wan chuckled: "Many people would think like this, constantly beautifying the road they haven't walked in their hearts, thinking that it is the most perfect way to walk in life. Maybe they even think about how they would walk if they could live their life over again."
She lowered her eyes and lazily closed them again: "I am really a timid and pragmatic person."
Chunchan waited for a long time but didn't hear her continue talking. When she looked up, she found that she had fallen asleep.
She didn't think much about it, and gently tucked the corners of the quilt for Yanwan, then went out, leaving Lan Cui to look after the family while she arranged what everyone should do in the afternoon.
The little girl Yunjiao was tidying up the flowerbed in the yard. When she saw Chunchan coming out, she ran over and said, "Sister Chunchan, my mother made waist protectors for you and Sister Lancui, and she wants to make one for you too. I want to ask you what pattern you like."
Yunjiao is the daughter of midwife Grandma Tian. She was born with some illnesses and because she was weak, there was no one to take care of her when she was left outside. After Grandma Tian became the head nanny of Yongshou Palace, she brought her into the palace to be a little maid.
Yunjiao was still young, so she had only been doing small chores like taking care of flowers and plants, which was considered as a superficial explanation for occupying the position of a palace maid.
Chunchan and the others all liked Yunjiao very much. Although the girl was not old, she was very smart, lively and lovely. Her little mouth was so sweet that it was deadly. Even Yanwan often took her to practice calligraphy and have fun. It could be said that she was raising her like her own daughter.
Grandma Tian was grateful and worked even more efficiently. When she finally had some free time, she would always think about getting some nourishing food and utensils for Yanwan and Chunchan.
Chunchan smiled and touched Yunjiao's little face: "My dear, I like trumpet creepers. Ask your mother to embroider one for you."
Yunjiao smiled and held her hand: "What kind of flowers do Sister Chunchan and Sister Lancui like?"
Chunchan smiled and said, "How much good fabric does your mother have? Is she going to embroider flowers on all of us? Go back and tell your mother not to make things for me and Lancui anymore. Just make some every now and then. We need something presentable. Lancui and I can embroider any flowers we like when we are free. It's just right to kill time!"
Yunjiao felt sorry for her mother, so after thinking for a while, she nodded and said seriously, "I am still young and cannot hold the needle and thread steadily, but I am trying hard to learn. I will embroider for my two sisters in the future!"
Chunchan smiled so hard that her eyes curved. "Really? Then your sister Lancui and I are waiting for you! But, when you start embroidering, you must embroider one for the master first, otherwise she will be jealous!"
Hearing her say this, Yunjiao smiled shyly, "I like you too, Madam. I will definitely be the first one to embroider for you! And the best one!"
Chunchan smiled and touched her head: "The master leaves you a portion of the herbal food in the small kitchen to regulate your stomach every day. You didn't finish it yesterday, so you can't do that from today on."
Yunjiao hung her head in shame: "I ate too much chicken legs yesterday, so I couldn't finish the drink. Next time I will definitely take the medicine before eating anything else!"
She softly asked Chunchan: "When the queen is free, Sister Chunchan, please call me. I want to apologize to the queen and promise to take medicine obediently in the future!"
Chunchan felt soft in her heart: "Okay."
Seeing Yunjiao running away, she went to find Lancui.
Lan Cui whispered, "I was just about to look for you. Concubine Jia arranged for Concubine Xian to handle the reception affairs of Baohua Palace. This morning, Concubine Xian went to Baohua Palace again."
Chunchan narrowed her eyes: "Her stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"
Lan Cui shook her head: "They waited until Doctor Jiang was on duty, and then they went to the Imperial Hospital to call the doctor. Doctor Jiang said that Concubine Xian's pregnancy seemed unstable, but she has been stable, so it seems nothing is wrong."
Chunchan nodded: "I will ask the master later to see if she is interested in listening to Master Anji's lecture today."
Lan Cui nodded: "I heard that Master Anji is very knowledgeable in Buddhism at a young age, and he is also very good-looking. Many palace maids go to see him every day."
Chunchan frowned: "Empress Jia doesn't care?"
Lan Cui said, "She cared about it, but she didn't put in any effort. I don't know if she did it on purpose. On the day she scolded the palace maid, it happened to be in front of Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian gave her a lecture, and Concubine Jia completely let it go."
Chunchan had already smelled the scent of conspiracy, nodded, and went back to guard Yanwan.
After Yan Wan woke up, she heard her words and said with interest: "Then let's look at the account book when we get back. Let's also go see Master Anji."
Chunchan agreed with a smile and dressed her up.
Yan Wan stroked the hairpin on her head and said, "Find something noble to wear. It would be best if it could be seen at a glance that I am a vulgar person and incompatible with otherworldly people like Concubine Xian and Master Anji."
Chunchan couldn't help laughing. Her master was so mischievous! How could Concubine Xian not be considered an outsider if she was restless?
