Chapter 240 Pink Dress Red Veil
Chapter 240 Pink Dress Red Veil
Although it is pink, the style is exquisite and very attractive.
The old nanny belonged to another concubine, so naturally she didn't want Zhang Qingsha to look so pretty.
However, the time is almost up and we can’t delay any longer.
She was just trying to scare Huang and Zhang Qingsha just now. How could she really dare not let Zhang Qingsha enter the palace?
"Okay, okay, change your clothes and let's go." The old nanny glanced at Zhang Qingsha impatiently, then turned around and left.
Zhang Qingsha subconsciously turned her head to look at her mother, her eyes full of grievance and unwillingness.
Why did things suddenly become like this?
Just now, Xiaofang and Aunt Qiu had asked her to wear another rose-red dress.
After all, Zhang Qingsha was a concubine, not a concubine without status. How could she wear pink to enter the house?
However, Zhang Qingsha was angry and insisted on wearing the pink one.
She believed that King Cheng would never do this. This old lady must have been bribed by someone and came here on purpose to embarrass her.
Therefore, she would change into this pink dress. This would be the evidence, and she would report it to His Royal Highness King Cheng and severely punish this ignorant old woman.
Huang embroidered a red veil for her daughter and did not prepare anything else.
And the Chengwang Palace did not send anything.
Looking at the old nanny and then at the conspicuous pink dress on her daughter, Huang's heart sank.
When the bride enters the house, she must be covered with a red veil, and there is nothing else that can replace it.
Huang made up her mind and walked to the inner room and took out ten taels of silver.
"Madam, time is urgent today, and we haven't prepared anything else. Look, this veil..."
Huang handed the silver to the old nanny and spoke humbly.
She was also very unsure whether she would agree.
However, she believed that money makes the world go round. Even though the old nanny was a servant in the Prince Cheng's mansion, ten taels of silver was definitely not a small sum for her.
Sure enough, when the old nanny saw the ten taels of silver, a greedy look flashed in her eyes.
She knew that today, Zhang Qingsha had to enter the house wearing a red veil, and just now, she had no intention of making things difficult for her.
Who knew that Zhang Qingsha's mother was so good at winking and even eager to give herself money.
Considering that her monthly salary in Prince Cheng's Mansion was less than one tael of silver, these ten taels of silver were an astronomical figure for her and a huge sum of money.
Don't be in vain!
The old nanny pretended to refuse, but then accepted the silver.
"Since Madam has said so and time is limited, let's use this red veil." The old nanny said with a little embarrassment.
"Thank you, Ma'am." Huang smiled gratefully. She was finally no longer in trouble.
Huang walked forward and personally put the red veil on her daughter's head. She also gave her daughter a few words of advice, and then let Zhang Qingsha go out with the old nanny.
Huang followed behind, wanting to send her daughter to the sedan chair.
However, the further she walked, the more she felt something was wrong.
"Mammy, isn't that right? Isn't this the direction of the west gate?" Huang stopped and turned to look at the old mammy.
"Yes, ma'am, the sedan is parked outside the west gate."
"What? How can this be? Why not at the front entrance?"
Huang's eyes widened in disbelief. Only a concubine without a formal status would be carried out quietly through the side door.
Her daughter is the concubine of Prince Cheng. Like the principal wife, a concubine must also enter the Royal Jade Butterfly. How could she leave through the side door?
The old nanny didn't care about all that. Before leaving today, the housekeeper also heard what the concubine said, and she tacitly agreed to everything the concubine ordered.
The concubine said that they had to be carried out through the side door, and the person was also carried into Prince Cheng's palace through the side door.
"Madam, the auspicious time cannot be delayed, so please don't worry about these issues anymore." The old nanny said, and walked straight forward.
Zhang Qingsha clenched her fists but said nothing. She just followed the old nanny silently and got into the sedan chair.
Looking at the sedan chair going away, Huang felt very uncomfortable.
Xiaofang was Zhang Qingsha's personal maid, and she left with Zhang Qingsha.
Suddenly, only Aunt Qiu was left by Huang's side.
When Aunt Qiu saw this situation, she didn't know what to say and just looked at Huang with heartache.
"This matter must be kept secret and we must not let the master and the others know about it." Huang's face turned cold.
"Don't worry, Madam. I know."
She carefully looked at the dowry prepared by Zhang Zichuan last night, and every item was very good.
Huang's housekeeper naturally knew that this was the best thing Zhang Zichuan could prepare.
Huang also knew their purpose. Once they knew that Zhang Qingsha was taken away like this today and King Cheng did not care about her at all, they would definitely make a big fuss.
Fortunately, Anzhou is far away from the capital, and by the time they learned the news, it was too late to do anything.
Huang just hoped that her daughter could live well in Prince Cheng's Mansion.
An Qingqian naturally received the news first. She sighed and shook her head.
It seems that Zhang Qingsha still doesn't understand the current situation and her own status clearly, and is still dreaming of being favored by King Cheng.
However, this has nothing to do with An Qingqian.
"Boyun, go find Qingcang." An Qingqian soon forgot about this matter.
Qing Cang walked into the room and bowed to An Qingqian, "Miss."
"Qing Cang, go to Prince Yong's Mansion and do something for me." An Qingqian whispered a few words.
Qing Cang listened and nodded seriously, "Please rest assured, Miss, I will do it right away."
"Miss, what are you doing?" Yingyi walked in with a plate of pastries.
"Prince Dingyuan is looking for the emperor to help investigate the incident in which Wu Tiancheng was beaten last time. I have to find a scapegoat."
An Qingqian stood up and walked into the yard, which was very clean.
She looked up at the sky. There was not much snow this winter.
The emperor's people were indeed very efficient. In just three days, they had found out the murderer who sneaked into the courtyard and injured Wu Tiancheng that day.
In the imperial study, the emperor sat on a chair and looked up at the people standing on the ground.
Prince Yong looked bewildered, not knowing why the emperor suddenly summoned him to the palace.
Next to him stood Qi Ting, the emperor's most trusted general of the Dragon Guard.
He knew that Qi Ting was the emperor's most trusted person, and that he was responsible for investigating and handling all difficult cases for the emperor.
Moreover, every member of the Dragon Guards is agile and intelligent, and there are almost no problems in the cases they handle.
However, the emperor has never liked them meeting the Dragon Guards. What happened today?
