Translated by Gumihou
Please read this at kitchennovel dot co, please don't just admire the colour Youforward to your opinion Though our mistress was pleased with our flattery, us lowly servants' opinions matter little No er allowed another ?” Su Nuan Nuan glared at Hong Lian ”Why don't you just tell everyone how you sed down four or five pieces of the Snow Creao? How you ate until your teeth and stomach couldn't take it anymore? Also, how much of this had been sent to the elder reedy ht just for this? Don't think I don't know theand forced you to hide some away for him Still dare to show your thick face toat this little exchange suddenly looked up with shock at the last re her own face curiously as she asked, ”Is there soifted Hong Lian to the lord?”
Concubine Jing did not mince words as she questioned Su Nuan Nuan, who blinked stupidly at her ”Gifted? Give what to the lord?”
Hong Lian caught on to herquicker, she blushed up to the tips of her ears and squirmed in place, ”What… this?… This slave… the e of herpose bloomed in her ination
By now, even Su Nuan Nuan had realized what Concubine Jing was talking about She laughed heartily, ”Oh, so it's this How can this be? Hong Lian is a good girl, and I plan to find a good husband for her in the future There's no way I'd let her suffer the attention of that xuan already collected several cabbages on his own? Even you and Madam Lan, the best blossoms in the bouquet, couldn't satisfy hi heaven and earth for one of you, but that guy is still not satisfied Really not afraid of being struck by lightning, ah”
”Madam flatters this one, how could this one compare? This one dare not receive madam's compliments,as a flower's bloom Looks only last between twelve and twenty years old”
”Nonsense, how can a woman's beauty last less than a decade? A woman's youth lasts between 15 up to 30 years, that's 15 years of beauty; at 30 to 40 years old she's a vivid flower at its peak, that's another 10 years of beauty; between 40 to 50 the flower gains ance, her beauty is like the sun just before it sets, her gazeand comfortable to look at
That's alrow older as the years passed her, what she lost in youth, she gains in tranquility and joy Surrounded by grandchildren in the twilight of her years A life long lived is a lifetiain A wo upon others”
Concubine Jiang stood there, stunned, looking at Su Nuan Nuan with her mouth opened: To think, a woman's life could be interpreted this way Surely this… this was so? But… there was so in her heart? It was as though her feelings had e out of a calm lake to create ripples: To think that a wo one finally understood why the lord loves to spend his days withlowered her head reverently ”When ht had shone into this unworthy one's eyes The light is so bright that it pierces this slave's heart, which this one had thought had turned to dead water the ht she had gained peace at last, but the truth is her heart was dead This one had believed herself content, but then these words of yours… it was like, like this one had gained insight on what true happiness ht be”
”What's all this silly talk? What dead water heart? And what insight have you gotten? You…”
Su Nuan Nuan was just too bewildered, she scratched her head, causing Concubine Jiang to giggle at this cute gesture Concubine Jing gave a beautiful smile, ”Madam has not experienced what this lowly one had, therefore it is natural that you won't understand my heart When this one was rescued by the rateful… being able to escape that fate cal and anxiousness was enough toin this mansion, under the protection of the lord, this one never saw suffering again, but nothing excites her heart either Gardening was just so to pass the ti madam's words, this one understood that her life was like eht call an ordinary life is true to life, mine was just too dull If it's at all possible, this one would like to be just like madam, and live life to the fullest with confidence and ease”
Su Nuan Nuan blinked Well, it's not like she didn't understand what Concubine Jing was talking about, but she couldn't quite believed how her words were being taken Also, Concubine Jing's worshi+pful gaze… ah, but Su Nuan Nuan was a sinore this, thought Nuan Nuan as she said, ”It's all fine, you see you like from my speech Well, if that's the case, please do your best to live your life to the fullest If a great beauty like you were to spend the rest your days depressed, I have a feeling the heavens will revolt Do you really think that the heavens really intent for you to live like a nun after granting you a face like that? What kind of wastefulness is this?”
Concubine Jing could no longer hold back her laughter, she shook her head, ”Madam is too witty forlike a nun? This one was just living a quiet life, look, I still havewhen a clear, youthful voice called across the courtyard, ”Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, just how did you make that Snow Creaot into blows fighting over the last bite Concubine ether with brother to urgethis little speech, Second Young Miss Duan Xinqi ran in with a bright flush on her youthful cheeks Her cheerful pattering stopped when she saw Concubine Jing For adown at the sight of Su Nuan Nuan Though she was now used to Su Nuan Nuan's bossy presence, she still sank back to her timid behaviour in front of other people
