Chapter 1874 Ning Huaixiu's Panic (2)

"Would I have any ulterior motives towards her?"

Nangong Yi was so angry that he almost laughed: "She is not even as pretty as a hair of yours, how could I have any thoughts about her? If it were you, would you give up the fairy peach and eat a rotten fruit?"

Hearing the man compare Ning Huaixiu to a rotten fruit, Caiwei couldn't help laughing: "Thinking back then, Ning Huaixiu was deeply in love with you. If she knew that she was just a rotten fruit in your heart, she would be so upset!"

Nangong Yi said: "I don't care whether she feels bad or not. I only know that if our speculation is confirmed, I will definitely make her feel even worse!"

The man sat down after he finished speaking, and did not make any arrangements to go out and interrogate Ning Huaixiu. What if it was really like what her wife said, and Ning Huaixiu was summoned to the palace in the middle of the night, and was misunderstood by the people, he would not be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

So, after taking a comfortable bath, he went to bed with his wife and slept sweetly...

The next morning

The well-slept and well-fed Nangong Yi family left the space. The man dressed up and went to court. Caiwei took the three tightly wrapped buns to play in the snow outside.

The space is like spring all year round, without rain or snow. Before, the children were still young, and Caiwei was afraid that they would get cold, so she never let them touch the ice and snow. Now they are almost three years old, and their body resistance is much stronger than when they were young. There should be no problem with contacting ice and snow, so I took advantage of the snow today to take them out to play.

It was dry and cold outside, and the breath turned into white mist. The capital is located in the south of Dajin. Such cold weather is rare, and it doesn't snow often. It's rare to snow, and everyone braved the severe cold to play.

When Caiwei rushed to the imperial garden with the children, they happened to meet some palace maids who were not on duty making snowmen. Seeing the Queen Mother coming out with the little prince and princess, the maids hurried forward to pay their respects: "Greetings to the Queen Mother, long live the Queen Mother, greet the eldest prince, the second prince, and the princess!"

"Get up quickly, it's snowy, don't catch a cold on New Year's Day!"

Cai Wei smiled and asked everyone to get up, pointing to the unfinished snowman and said to the three buns: "You can also join them in making it, it's fun!"

The three buns were very curious when they saw the round and fat snowman, and immediately ran over to help make the snowman.

Cai Wei said to the maids: "Don't stand here, it's a rare day off, go and play!"

The maids were all in their teens, and it was the time for them to play. When they heard the Queen's order, they all ran to play with laughter.

Caiwei's way of managing the harem is different from that of the empresses of previous dynasties. She does not advocate that the maids and eunuchs should be submissive and avoid the master like a cat or mouse. She believes that as long as everyone does their job well when they are on duty, they can do whatever they like when they are resting, of course, provided that they do not violate the palace rules.

Therefore, the palace is no longer as solemn and lifeless as before. You can often hear some cheerful laughter. Everyone can talk and laugh casually. As long as everyone does not play too much, the aunts in the palace will never interfere.

The selection of palace maids now still follows the system set by Caiwei. Every year, the selection is made in the nearby prefectures. After entering the palace, the palace maids have a monthly salary. The lowest-level palace maids can get 500 coins a month. After returning home at the age of 18, they can bring back a small dowry. If they do well in the palace and are promoted to female officials, they will become rich women when they return home.
