Pampered Consort Of The Fragrant Orchard Chapter 74.1 - A Girl's Worry (1)

Chapter 74.1 A Girl’s Worry (1)

Because it was temporarily decided to go over, she still hadn’t had time to notify the estate. Du Xiao Li originally

intended to wait until she arrived at the estate to have those people dismissed to another place to live for a period of

time, but Grand Empress Dowager said to just treat this as an ordinary person going to stay there for a short period

of time, no need to startle them. However they were previously, they can just continue on as always. Furthermore,

since Du Xiao Li already has an engagement with Han Ming Yi, she didn’t need to call her Grand Empress Dowager

either, can just call her grandmother, or call her like how she calls Meng Old Madam, as grandma Han.

Hearing the sound of the horse carriage, the people of the estate came out to look. Seeing Han Ming Yi approaching

on horseback, they quickly knelt down to pay their respects, “Greetings your Highness, Ding w.a.n.g.”

“You’re excused.” Han Ming Yi lightly said.

Du Xiao Li got down from the horse carriage. Next, Meng Jiang Zhuo jumped down, following which the two

turned around to help Grand Empress Dowager and Meng Old Madam.

“Where’s Head Steward Xie?”

“Replying to miss, Head Steward Xie went to the grape vineyard.”

“Why did he also go to the vineyard?” Du Xiao Li asked.

“Because these last few days the grapes have been maturing rather fast, so Head Steward Xie said he was going to

go have a look.”

“Understood. You go have him called back.” Du Xiao Li instructed.

“Yes.” That servant girl finished saying and immediately ran towards the vineyard.

Since coming down from the horse carriage, the Grand Empress Dowager and Meng Old Madam have been sizing

up the surrounding environment the entire time. Looking to the grape vineyard that had the courtyard surrounded,

and also the mountain behind the estate and flat plain in front. Their mood seemingly relaxed quite a bit instantly.

“This place is indeed pretty good.” Meng Old Madam exclaimed in admiration.

From the outside, this courtyard had a very simple design, unlike those courtyards of ordinary wealth families,

where no place didn’t reflect wealth and grandeur. Clearly one had wanted to come relax, yet it only felt like just

having changed locations.

“What fruit is this?” The Grand Empress Dowager looked to the grapes hanging in the vineyard and asked.

“Grandma Han, this is a grape. Eating it is good for the body.” Meng Jiang Zhuo said.

“So this is the so called grape. Later, let’s go look around in the gardens then.” The Grand Empress Dowager said.

“Grandma Han, grandma Meng, let’s go in first.”

Du Xiao Li brought everyone into the courtyard, letting Xia Yuan and Ying Ge go prepare a few rooms for them.

Meng Jiang Zhuo and her still stayed in their previous building, but they needed to prepare a separate courtyard for

Grand Empress Dowager and them.

After sitting awhile in the guest hall, Head Steward Xie returned. Seeing the roomful of people, he got startled.

“Miss.”

“You all withdraw first.” Du Xiao Li said to the other servant girls in the room. When only just they and Head

Steward Xie remained, she finally opened her mouth, “Steward Xie, this is the Grand Empress Dowager, this is the

Grand Imperial Tutor’s Madam, Meng Old Madam.”

Head Steward Xie had long guessed these two old madam’s ident.i.ty weren’t simple, but he never thought that it

would be the Grand Empress Dowager. He quickly kneeled down and said, “This commoner greets Grand Empress

Dowager and Meng Old Madam.”

“Steward Xie, the Grand Empress Dowager and them will be staying here for a period of time. You need to keep

their ident.i.ties a secret. Secondly, when the time comes, there will be a lot of things that I will have to trouble you to

arrange. The meals and daily necessities will all have to trouble you to prepare.”

“This servant understands.” Steward Xie replied.

“Alright, you can go check whether Xia Yuan and them have finished sorting out the courtyards.”

“Yes, this servant will withdraw.” After Steward Xie bowed to the people in the room, he slowly withdrew out. And

only after he exited the door did he leave in big steps, inwardly thinking to himself, this master of his was too scary.

The people she brought were n.o.bler than the other. Next time, will she just have the Emperor brought over for a

short stay?

(T/N: Even this steward knows MC be collecting golden thighs left and right lmaooo.)

Very soon, the courtyards were tidied out. In order to attend to the Grand Empress Dowager and them more

conveniently, Du Xiao Li and Meng Jiang Zhuo also had their rooms moved to this courtyard.

“The design here has a rather southern style.” The Grand Empress Dowager sat on the balcony of the second floor.

From this place, one could take in the entire front scenery.

“I suppose this is because that girl is from the south.” Meng Old Madam said.

Just then, Du Xiao Li and Meng Jiang Zhuo walked past the flower garden below. The Grand Empress Dowager

looked to the two of them and said, “En, indeed a good-looking and intelligent girl. Ming Yi, you sure know how to

choose.”

Han Ming Yi was just standing next to the Grand Empress Dowager. Hearing her words, he said, “This grandson’s

eyes were inherited from grandmother.”

“Hehe, you little stuffy brat, now you’ve even learned to say pleasant things.” The Grand Empress Dowager were

amused by Han Ming Yi’s words.

Han Ming Yi chuckled. From childhood until now, the person he was closest to have always been the Grand

Empress Dowager. Only from the Grand Empress Dowager can he truly feel the deep concerns for him of an

ordinary elder.

Du Xiao Li and Meng Jiang Zhuo came up from the stairs and said, “Grandma Han, we can start the afternoon meal

soon. I’ll first examine you again.”

“Alright.” The Grand Empress Dowager nodded.

Du Xiao Li moved a stool over and took out cloth cus.h.i.+on from her bag, letting the Grand Empress Dowager rest

her hand on there. Afterwards, she begin taking her pulse. After awhile, she withdrew her hand, “Without the smell

of osmanthus flowers, this gu’s energy has reduced quite a bit.”

“Yes, after coming here for a while, and smelling the air here, I feel the chest pains have alleviated quite a bit.” The

Grand Empress Dowager said.

“This is normal, because the osmanthus flowers can make the gu become excited and frequently move about in the

body. This place doesn’t have any osmanthus flowers, so the gu will appear much more quiet. That’s why your body

will feel a little more comfortable.” Du Xiao Li explained, “However, this method only treats the symptoms not the

root cause after all. We’ll use the next few days to recuperate the body. Once your body is capable of withstanding

the impact of forcing out of the gu, we’ll began forcing out the gu.”

“En, can just have you arrange it.” The Grand Empress Dowager said.

“Alright.”

“Grandma, this estate of Xiao Li’s is quite nice right? I wasn’t talking nonsense, right.” Meng Jiang Zhuo leaned on

Meng Old Madam’s shoulders and said.

“Indeed very nice, no wonder you all would stay here and not want to go back.” Meng Old Madam said.

“Hehe, at this place, I can eat lots of grapes! At the foot of the mountain in the back, there’s also a lot of other fruits.

Later, let’s go have a look.” Meng Jiang Zhuo suggested.

“Also need to go to the vineyard to watch them pick grapes.” Meng Old Madam said.

“Madam, miss, the afternoon has been already prepared.” Aunt Xie came upstairs and said to Du Xiao Li and them.

Steward Xie didn’t tell her the Grand Empress Dowager’s real ident.i.ty, but he did warn her that she needs to attend

to them carefully. That’s why she also figured that their ident.i.ties definitely weren’t simple.

“Grandma Han, let’s go eat. Today’s lunch, Xiao Li had specially ordered the kitchen to make, surely it’ll be very

delicious.” Meng Jiang Zhuo said.

“En, let’s go down then.” The Grand Empress Dowager got up, and everyone all followed after, carefully helping her

down the stairs.

Du Xiao Li watched the two elders going down the stairs from behind, thinking to herself, fortunately she had their

rooms arranged downstairs. Else, this going up and down the stairs really will torment one to death!
