The next day, Mingyueju.

A little maid walked in with her head down.

When Yicui found out, she came out immediately and took her to the outer room of the bedroom.

The outer room is separated from the bedroom by a treasure pavilion, which is furnished with tables and chairs, and there is a chaise longue by the window.

After the maid went in, she told him what happened in Wutong Garden last night, but only before Chu Xuanhan entered the bedroom.

Her name was Qinghua, and she was a maid in Wutong Garden. She was not qualified to enter the bedroom to serve, and could only enter the main hall at most.

Yesterday, Jinqiu learned that Chu Xuanhan would stay overnight, so she asked them to clean up. That's why she quietly paid attention to him after he came.

At that time, Mo Yaohua went to the courtyard in person to greet them and led Chu Xuanhan to the main hall. She took the opportunity to prick up her ears to listen to their conversation.

When they first met, he called out "Liu Lang". Later, probably because they wanted to avoid being seen, they spoke in very low voices.

Maids in wealthy families are generally divided into three levels.

First-class maids have the right to assist their masters in management and receive the highest monthly salary.

Among them, the principal wife can be paired with three people, the concubine can be paired with two, the concubine can be paired with one, and the concubine is not paired with a first-class maid.

The ones living in Mingyue Residence are Yicui and Yihe, as well as Lvyi, a servant of the palace; the one living in Wutong Garden is Jinqiu.

Beside Mo Zhaohua, Zhenzhu Amber and Yueying are both first-class maids, and after Huaying took over the service, she would naturally become the same.

A second-class maid can personally serve her master in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and serve tea and water, such as Madam Wu in Wutong Garden.

The third-class maids could only do rough work such as watering flowers, carrying water, feeding birds, boiling water, watching the stove, sweeping and so on. Qinghua was one of them.

Although first- and second-rank maids know the most, they are few in number and most of them are confidants, making them difficult to bribe.

Therefore, if one wanted to find out information, one could only find an inconspicuous third-class maid. This was how Qinghua was targeted by Yicui.

Maidservants of low rank were not allowed to approach the prince, and even though Qinghua pricked up her ears, she could not hear more clearly.

But just these two words made Yuchi Jiyue furious, "What did you say? How dare that bitch call the prince Liu Lang?"

Qinghua was in the room at the time and could only listen and could not see. "Yes, although the concubine quickly lowered her voice, I heard it clearly."

Yuchi Jiyue gritted her teeth and said, "I will ask the prince to dine at Wutong Garden again. You should keep your eyes open and keep a close eye on him."

Qinghua lowered her eyebrows and responded compliantly, "Yes, Princess."

After she left, Yihe asked in a low voice, "Madam, can this little girl be trusted?"

Yicui explained unhappily, "This is a new member of the family. I bribed her on the first day she entered Wutong Garden."

She knew Yihe's thoughts very well, and was afraid that she would do her job too well and win the favor of the princess, so she deliberately flattered her.

Yuchi Jiyue said coldly: "It's better to be like this. If she deceives this princess and offends the prince, you will be in trouble."

In Prince Yu's Mansion, Chu Xuanchi still did not go to the study.

The west wing had just been renovated, and they couldn't wait to move back yesterday.

There was a desk in the bedroom, so he asked Wuying to deliver all the official documents to the west wing in the near future.

After all, he is recovering from his injuries. If he frequently goes in and out of the study, he will appear too busy and may cause people to worry.

Mo Zhaohua was busy making underwear for him, and the embroidery stool was placed opposite the table so that she could see him when she looked up.

However, she still needed to take care of the affairs of the mansion. Unless there was something important, she would go to the front yard for a short time every morning.

This is the duty of the mistress. For a concubine like Mo Yaohua, it will be her turn only if both the principal wife and the concubine are incompetent.

Mo Zhaohua had just returned from the front yard when Chu Xuanchi smiled and said, "Zhao Zhao, I have something interesting to tell you."

In her hands she held a bowl of soup, which she had asked Amber to prepare in the small kitchen before she went to the front yard to do housework every day.

Before, she had personally delivered it to the study and met Chu Xuanchi by the way. Now that he was in the backyard, it was much more convenient for her.

Mo Zhaohua brought the ginseng soup to Chu Xuanchi, "Okay, but you have to drink it first, it's just right to warm your body."

Chu Xuanchi picked up the soup spoon and drank while saying, "Prince Qi's Mansion added a group of people a few days ago, three of them are ours."

Mo Zhaohua did not go to make clothes immediately, but sat on the chair next to him, "Is that someone who has been arranged to a good place?"

If not, how could Chu Xuanchi tell her about it and say it was something fun, so it should be good news.

Chu Xuanchi smiled and nodded, "Smart, two of them made good arrangements, one went to Mingyue Residence and the other went to Wutong Garden."

Mo Zhaohua asked casually, "What about the other one?"

"Ahem..." Chu Xuanchi almost choked on the ginseng soup, "Let's not talk about it."

Mo Zhaohua wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "My husband, this expression makes me curious."

Chu Xuanchi continued to drink the ginseng soup, "As a husband, this is for Zhao Zhao's own good, so as not to make her feel sick."

Mo Zhaohua wasn't afraid, but he was drinking soup, so he didn't want to disgust him. "Then it's better for me not to ask."

***

Three days later.

Qinghua quietly entered Mingyueju again.

"Princess, the prince and the concubine are very close."

Yuchi Jiyue was immediately jealous, "Tell me in detail how you want to be intimate."

Qinghua lowered his head and replied, "The prince personally served the dishes to the concubine and said that the concubine liked it..."

"It's really intimate. The prince has never done this to me, let alone know what I like."

Although Yuchi Jiyue was filled with jealousy, she still had some rationality, "But how could a third-class maid like you know this?"

A third-class maid is not even qualified to serve meals, and the dining room is connected to the main hall, so people outside cannot see it.

Qinghua replied, "The concubine accidentally dropped a bowl, and when I went in to clean it up, I heard this."

Yuchi Jiyue's eyes were dark, "Such a coincidence, then you are very lucky."

She asked a few more questions, then sent Qinghua out, and Yicui followed him out. After giving him some instructions, she gave him some benefits.

When Qinghua left Mingyueju, a little maid who was sweeping the yard glanced at her seemingly unintentionally.

After Yicui came back, she whispered, "Does the queen suspect Qinghua?"

Yuchi Jiyue raised her hand to straighten her hair, "Except for those of you who are my own, I don't trust anyone easily."

Yihe asked, "But we can't just rely on our own people. The steward of the courtyard, Lvyi, has been trying to please us. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Lvyi was originally a member of Chu Xuanhan's courtyard. Every time Qinghua came, she would be sent away because Yuchi Jiuyue was wary of her.

If Chu Xuanhan and Mo Yaohua really had an affair, Lvyi would definitely spread the news, and Qinghua's spy would definitely be exposed.

Yuchi Jiyue didn't plan to use her for the time being. "If she's being too attentive for no reason, she's either a traitor or a thief. Let's leave her alone and see what she thinks."

Yicui was eager to make a contribution so as to surpass Yihe. "What about Qinghua? Does the queen want her to come and deliver the message?"

Yuchi Jiyue wanted to know the situation in Wutong Garden very much. "Let her spread the word. Time will tell. Give her a chance."
