kidnapped by bandits and ransom is urgently needed Or did the house catch fire, burning everything down Oh no, couldn’t it be that the ancestral tomb collapsed, and they need money to repair it” He...Grandma Zhao was truly delighted to have someone she could talk to at last after so long. Once the conversation started, she couldn't stop talking. 。She told Ye Wen: "We don't know what the King likes, but there are plenty of interesting stories in this mansion." 。Let those women who were brought back be. Some are seeking death or life, and they remain loyal to their husbands. 。But some people crave wealth, honor, and luxury. As soon as they entered the Pingxi Wangfu mansion, they saw that everything was good and couldn't bear to leave. They even developed a desire to stay there forever. 。So they came up with a plan to divorce their husbands, hoping that after the divorce they could stay in Pingxi Palace. 。But they didn't know, our Wangye likes other people's wives. They were brought into the mansion because they are other people's wives. 。Once they lost their husbands, they were no longer someone else's daughters-in-law, and the King wouldn't like them anymore. 。So those women, they lost both the men and themselves. 。Not only was his house gone, but he was also kicked out by the prince. 。Then some went mad, some took their own lives unable to bear it, and others left their homes and families to live in places where no one knew them. 。In the end, none of them had a happy ending. 。So, whether a man or a woman, one should not covet wealth, honor, or vanity. 。What you are born into is what you are, and what your fate is, is what it is. Don't think about things that don't exist. 。"Oh, by the way!" Zhao MaMa suddenly remembered something as she arrived. "I recently heard that Wang Ye is going to celebrate his Consort's birthday. The news should reach the kitchen tomorrow." 。We need to hurry up and think of dishes. Not only do we have to make sure the Prince and his concubine eat well, but we also have to make the guests feel the uniqueness of the Duke's cuisine. 。Especially the natal families of the concubines, they must be treated well. They are distinguished guests in the household. 。“The concubine’s family” Ye Wen said with a puzzled face, “Does the king like this concubine very much”Zhao Mama shook her head, her voice even lower, “Actually, not that much. The concubine is not particularly beautiful either” 。I've seen a few times, people who are tall and large, with skin that isn't very delicate, and a little dark. 。His voice was still loud, and he walked with a boisterous energy. His whole demeanor seemed rough and sturdy, unlike the delicate and beautiful girls from our Northern Qi region. 。"That concubine isn't from Northern Qi, is she"Zhao Mamas nodded. "No, she's from Guiyue." 。So even though she grew up like that, the prince was still very kind to her, and he entrusted everything in the household to her. 。Even the empress would lower herself by three points before her. 。“A woman who returns to the moon” Ye Wenyan’s face showed curiosity, “Oh, can Your Highness marry a woman from Guiyue as his wife”Zhao Mammy: “What do you think Naturally, it wouldn't be possible. So she could only be a concubine! A concubine isn’t a wife, according to common people, she is just a mistress, but since the man is Your Highness, he took the more pleasing title of concubine...” 。Our household has a legitimate princess, whose family is from the capital. The late emperor bestowed her upon us in marriage. 。It's a pity that the princess has not been in good health these years, and she has left everything else to be taken care of. 。For the first two years, I could occasionally still see him at the mansion. In the past year, it has been a struggle to even get down from my bed, and I can only recuperate in my room. 。Ye Wen listened to this, and immediately recalled the Shen family from Hai Xian Town back then. 。The legitimate wife of Master Shen Er was also only concerned with eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddhist scriptures. All the concubines in the mansion were vying for his attention. 。She didn't know that the Pingxi Princess was like Lady Shen Er, truly tired of the vying for favor in the inner house. 。...or perhaps she chose to yield because she simply couldn't compete with the concubine... 。Of course, it's also possible that she simply didn't want to back down, but someone used underhanded tactics to trap her inside. 。Ye Wen thought, if there was a chance, she would like to meet the Pingxi Princess. 。It is unknown which family's daughter she was from in the capital. She was betrothed to this water town by the former emperor and made to suffer here. 。Grandma Zhao saw that she was deep in thought, thinking she had been frightened by what she had said. She comforted her: "Don't be afraid, we are just servants of the house, those things have nothing to do with us" 。We just need to take care of the kitchen and make sure our masters are well-fed. 。You are quite the skilled cook. Today's Dongpo pork dish has won over even the royal chef in front of the prince. 。

But since the credit has been given to someone else, you shouldn't expect any rewards.

If someone takes money and then forces them to spit it out, they won't be happy about it. 。We're depending on everyone here to keep your activities quiet, so just stay out of trouble and earn your monthly salary. Don't even think about any other rewards. 。"Grandma, please rest assured. I know all of this." 。I'm already content with a month's salary of ten taels. This is only possible because the palace can afford to pay so much. It's impossible to earn this much outside. 。I don't want any reward, give it all to everyone. 。By the way, grandma, do you know who the concubine's parents are from Guiyue They should be high officials too, right When they come to Shuicheng, what kind of dishes should we prepare to welcome them Please tell me, so I can have a better idea. 。"

She made a good point, and Zhao Mamā didn't suspect anything. She readily told her about the concubine's affairs. " 。Apparently, the concubine's father was a magistrate of Guiyue. Zhao Mamā doesn't even know which prefecture he served in. 。It is only known that the concubine's family seems to be not far from the capital city, Gu Yue. They also have some connections in the capital and hold great power in their family, which is why she receives such importance in the Prince’s Mansion. 。Grandmother Zhao also said, "The side concubine's family members don't usually come either. She has been married to the Pingxi王府 for five years, and her family members have only visited once, which was when the side concubine gave birth..." 。The Imperial Consort's birthday came every year, yet this year she couldn't understand why her family had come. 。Alright, it's getting late, better get some sleep! I've chatted with you so much today, some of it was necessary, some wasn't. Just listen to it yourself and don't go around telling anyone else... 。 。"

Ye Wen quickly said: "Grandmother, rest assured, apart from the two of us, all the men in this big kitchen are men. Who can I possibly be with! It's just you and me talking" 。Then Zhao MaMa felt reassured and covered herself with the quilt to sleep.

Ye Wen couldn't fall asleep though, because she felt that the side concubine's family members coming to Shuicheng this time must have a purpose, perhaps related to the iron mine. 。This turned out to be a good thing for her, she was just worried about this matter and didn't know where to start, the other party actually came to her door. 。If the side concubine's family is the contact person for the iron mine in Guiyue, then she can be sure to cut off this line in Shui City. 。Disrupting the iron ore supply may not be able to recover the previously sent out resources, but it can at least ensure that future resources will no longer be lost. 。days, or else I'll have people from Yanhuagong come to Ningguohou Mansion personally to collect the money." 。Anyway, since Granny Xiao has already given you this silver, selling the house and land, th...
