108 ways to die for supporting characters

Chapter 185 The Prince of Bo's Mansion 8
She was just borrowing the emperor's power, but she didn't dare to spread rumors about the emperor!
The old marquis was frightened again, "What do you mean?"

"Do you think those officials who were chopped by the emperor were really killed because of which leg they stepped into the throne room with first?"

The old marquis' face turned pale: "It's over, it's over, my uncle's family will be extinct, right?"

Ning Yan, "It's not that bad. I have a girl named Cuizhu by my side, and I plan to pick a date after the New Year to take her in as my concubine.

She is good-looking and has a big butt, so she will be easy to give birth to. She will definitely give birth to a boy, who can also carry on our family's incense."

The old marquis was full of energy again, his beard was blown up by him, "Then why can't you marry a wife? Just marry a wife!"

Ning Yan didn't need to say anything this time, because he became listless shortly after he finished speaking!
If the Emperor really has that kind of relationship with his grandson, it would be good enough for him to have a concubine to serve him. Even so, it is not known whether the Emperor will allow his grandson's concubine to have children!
If he had known this day would come, he would never have sent his grandson to serve as a guard in the Imperial Guards.

As a result, he was successful and his official position was promoted again and again, and he was promoted to the fourth rank official at the age of eighteen, but his life was ruined!

When the old marquis passed away, it seemed as if all the energy and spirit in his body had been drained away.

After her grandfather left, Ning Yan talked about taking a concubine. Among the servants around her, only the wet nurse and Cuizhu knew her real gender.

The wet nurse is the biological mother's confidant and is loyal to her.

Cuizhu is an orphan who was rescued by Madam Ning. She was seven years old at that time and still had memories. She regarded Madam Ning as her benefactor and had no second thoughts about Ning Yan, but she still wanted to add an layer of insurance to this relationship.

As for Cuizhu's regret in the future...there are plenty of ways to deal with that.

"But you can't have children while on duty in the palace."

He naturally knew that his son was just talking to his biological father Hu Chu. If he really had that kind of relationship with the emperor, how could their family live in peace?

"Let him in first, and then we can think of a solution slowly."

"Recently, let everyone in the family be more cautious. If necessary, close the door to visitors and don't let my grandfather go out."

The old man was kept in the dark about the truth and was not careful in his actions.

"What's wrong? Did you hear any rumors in the palace?"

"Aren't you curious about all these people suddenly proposing marriage?"

Cheng Anbo suddenly looked thoughtful, "Are you saying that these people are plotting against you?"

"I don't know, but I know that these people can't just appear out of nowhere."

She actually knew. After all, no one else knew the news in the palace, but Si Xi could. She had a good relationship with Si Xi and Wu Fu, and those two people would not hide anything they heard from her.

It's just that she is an eyesore to those women in the harem!

How novel! When she was a woman, the emperor left his harem vacant for her and would rather have an affair with a widow, which made the empresses in the palace hate her so much.

Now, she is a man, but she is still a thorn in the eyes of those concubines.

Taking a concubine must be put on the agenda.

That night, Ning Yan went to visit her mother, and when she returned to her yard, she called Cuizhu over.

Cuizhu is twenty years old this year, two years older than the original owner.
Twenty years old is a blooming age in modern times, but in ancient times it was considered an old maid.
But the bamboo is beautiful, she is really a flower.
What's rare is that this girl didn't rely on her beauty to climb up the social ladder. She was very steady and not as impetuous as other beautiful girls. When she was not at home, this girl would stay in the servants' room to make clothes and shoes for her. When she came back, she would serve her from head to toe.
If this happened in modern times, such a girl would have to be married and be loved three times a day.
Unfortunately, this was in ancient times, and the maid's fate had already been determined.
"I plan to set up a few tables and host a banquet for you in a few days. From now on, you will be my aunt. You will be in charge of all matters in this courtyard. If there are any inappropriate people, you can deal with them."

Cuizhu bowed respectfully: "Yes, my lord. I will obey your orders."

"Change your tone, stop calling yourself a slave, and just call yourself me from now on."

Cuizhu was obedient, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Master."

Ning Yan was satisfied. "Get ready. I'll take you out to buy your dowry tomorrow."

Cuizhu looked up in surprise, "Then what should I prepare?"

Ning Yan handed the things in her hand to Cui Zhu: "Dress yourself up as beautifully as you can, and be as flamboyant as you can when you go out on the street tomorrow!"

Cuizhu smiled, "I understand, my lord."

The next day, bright and early, Ning Yan was helped to get up, dress, and have breakfast. After she was ready, she went out to the street with Cui Zhu, who was newly dressed.

The carriage first stopped in front of the largest jewelry store in the capital. Ning Yan jumped off the carriage first, and then helped Cui Zhu get off the carriage. The two walked into the store side by side, and the shopkeeper personally received them, "Prince Ning, thank you for coming. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Ning Yan bowed to the shopkeeper and said, "Show me your best jewelry. Money is not a problem."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly asked his waiter to take out the most expensive items.

Ning Yan pointed at the beautiful jewelry on the tray and said, "Pick your choice. Don't worry about the price. Just tell me which one you like."

Cuizhu said in a tender voice: "Thank you, my Lord."

Because she had received instructions in advance, Cuizhu would not be soft-hearted and chose the jewelry by the plate. Others could tell at a glance that the prince doted on her particularly.

When paying the bill, Ning Yan took out more than 17,000 taels of silver notes. This was definitely a huge amount of money to buy things for a concubine.

Next was the silk shop, where dozens of the best cloth were loaded onto the cart. Cuizhu thought that no matter how much cloth she bought, it would not be wasted, as both the lady and the old lady in the family could use them. Therefore, she specially picked out some fabrics suitable for the lady and the old lady.

After leaving the silk shop, Ning Yan took her people to the rouge shop, the snack shop, the theater, and the restaurant. During the trip, she also ran into a few of the original owner's former friends. Because it was inconvenient for her to bring a woman with her, the two sides talked for a while and then parted ways.

By the time they came out of the restaurant and returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the news had already spread throughout the capital.

The Prince of Cheng'an has a concubine that he dotes on very much, and he spends a lot of money on her - he spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on her in just one day. This is definitely true love.

Some people have even been spreading the story of their touching love story.

Ning Yan was very satisfied with the result and fell asleep with a smile on her face every night.

But when she entered the palace the next day, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Si Xi watched her mouth moving, but no sound came out. However, Ning Yan knew what he was saying: The Emperor is in a bad mood today, so you'd better be careful.

Ning Yan: So who made him unhappy?
Si Xi: Who else could it be? Could it still be our family?
I thought the unhappy emperor would be difficult to serve today, and might even have to kill a few officials to divert his anger.

However, this did not happen. He summoned his ministers as usual to discuss state affairs and review memorials.
