Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 77: Leap

At noon, there was a beep, the earth was as silent and hot as a steamer. Lu Yufei tossed in bed for a long time, but couldn't fall asleep, so she could only get up. When the maid heard Lu Yufei's movement, she opened the curtain and asked, "Shizi Consort, what's the matter?"

Lu Yufei was wearing a pine-green single shirt, through the tulle, you can faintly see the skin. She leaned on the bed and kept shaking her fan: "The weather is so dull, it makes me sweat and it feels uncomfortable to lie down."

Seeing this, the maid hung up the bead curtain and came in to fan Lu Yufei. Zhang Momo came in from the porch. As soon as she walked in, she saw Lu Yufei awake and said, "Why is the Shizi Consort sitting outside? This old slave thought that Shizi Consort was already asleep."

Lu Yufei said: "It's too hot to sleep."

Zhang Momo is Lu Yufei's nanny. She watched Lu Yufei grow up when she was a child, and then followed Lu Yufei to marry into Prince Jing's mansion. She was very respected by Lu Yufei. Therefore, Zhang Momo didn't pay much attention to Lu Yufei, and immediately said: "This year, the late summer is very hot.It is only midday, and it will take a long time for the heat to dissipate. If the Shizi Consort is bored, I will ask the kitchen to send some iced desserts. I remember that the kitchen made a batch of grapes yesterday, should this slave ask the kitchen to give it to Shizi Consort?"

Lu Yufei thought about it, too, the afternoon was long, and there was no way to pass the time without doing anything. Now Lu Yufei no longer cares about the affairs of the mansion, and there is nothing she can do all day except eating and drinking.

Although Lu Yufei is a Shizi Consort, iced desserts like this are extra meals and therefore she herself has to pay extra. Lu Yufei had a lot of money and didn't even take the money in her eyes. He said, "It's such a hot day, so why bother to go out by yourself and let the maids run errands. Xiao Ying, go to my table and get a few pieces of silver. You don't have to save money. Regardless of what the kitchen has, let them chop it up into smoothies and bring them back here."

Xiaoying responded, went into the room and took the silver, and went out happily. Lu Yufei asked the maid to run errands but didn't let Zhang Momo go. Zhang Momo felt light on her face. She moved a bit, sat at Lu Yufei's feet, and talked to Lu Yufei: "It's rare to have honorable status and kindness. Shizi Consort is very kind to these little maids. Never beat or scold them, and even giving them fruit to eat. Shizi Consort is really the reincarnation of a good person."

"What's the matter?" Lu Yufei listened to these words comfortably, but said modestly, "I'm just giving a little favor, asking people around me to eat fruit, drink some tea and wine, no matter how far away I can do it. Wangye and Shizi, they are the ones who show great kindness."

Zhang Momo said: "You can't say that. Shizi Consort is a mistress, how can you compare with the prince and Shizi? Looking at the entire mansion, besides Shizi Consort, who else can be so compassionate to servants? They don't want to be too soft, has no opinion, or it is in the eyes of money to care about, and lose everyone's tolerance. Only Shizi Consort, who is kind and powerful, hard and soft, has the royal demeanor."

These words were taken seriously by Lu Yufei. She was not liked by her husband and father-in-law. It became her thing to promote herself. Lu Yufei waved her hand and said: "Momo is complementing me too much, how can I be so good? Momo can't say these things outside or others will misunderstand you."

"What a joke, what this old slave said is clearly the truth." Zhang Momo kept talking, "Who doesn't know what the Shizi Consort is doing? Many people in the mansion envy you. The Master and Madame have a daughter like you, which is far better than having ten or eight sons. Everyone in the Lu family envies Shizi Consort!"
