Yanmenchun

Chapter 17

On the way back to the banquet, Princess Baoqing couldn't help asking: "Didn't she say it was in pain? Is there no problem?"

Shen Tuchan exerted all her strength, otherwise she would not have been able to kick her away, but this way of kicking would not cause bruises on the day, she explained: "The pain will be gone in a while, sleep, and tomorrow will be more bruised." It hurts, and there will be a little bruising, but it will be all healed in three or four days."

Princess Baoqing smiled and said: "Wonderful!" After speaking, she remembered to confirm: "Did she really pull your skirt?"

Shen Tuchan nodded, I'm afraid this is not over yet.

Princess Baoqing was thoughtful, and after thinking about it, he said, "Try not to confront Jiang Yuanzhi head-on. Li Taiwei is going back to Beijing. She likes to ask this uncle to make decisions for her."

Concubine Rong was born in the famous Li family. The Li family does not have a title, but there are many disciples and their relationships are intricate. If the empress did not have means in the harem, Concubine Rong had only given birth to eleven princes after ten years in the palace. .

Although the eighth princess Jiang Yuanrui is stupid, she can't bear her mother's favor, and she has a big backer. Li Taiwei Li Xiangshan is the strong backing, minion and gold storage cave for Concubine Rong and the others.

Shen Tuchan looked at the weeds growing on the roof in the distance and sighed: "I don't offend people, but people offend me!"

Princess Baoqing didn't see if she was thinking about it, so she turned her head to look at Feng Yingru, Feng Yingru nodded and said, "Princess Princess, don't worry, Ah-chan will pay attention."

Lord Xianrong and Chen Jing asked people to search the yard, but they couldn't find out where the snake came from. Langyuan Court is a royal yard, and many people don't belong to them. Fortunately, no one was injured. Let it go.

For seven or eight days after the banquet ended, Shen Tuchan stayed behind closed doors every day except for practicing martial arts and piano, and no news came in from outside. Xiao Man almost thought that the little girl was not sure, and this matter was about to pass.

As a result, the third master went directly to the old lady's Heshou hall when he came back from court that day.

Shen Tuchan was playing cards with the old lady and Fang in Heshou hall, and Nanny Kong joined her hand.

The third master came to visit the old lady at this time, it must be because of some court affairs.

The old lady got up and asked someone to close the card table, and was about to chase Shen Tuchan away, but Shen Tuchan said: "Grandmother, let me listen, maybe I have a way."

The third master, Shen Tuye, was about to scold her for messing around, but Shen Tuchan was serious, as if she knew what he was going to say.

He hesitated for a moment, and Shen Tuchan said directly: "You are in some trouble, right? You think someone is harming you."

She just made a calm statement, but Shen Tuye was shocked when she heard it. Shen Tuye's face was calm, but he couldn't help asking: "Where did you hear it?"

There were no outsiders in the inner room at first, and the maids went out sensibly just after removing the poker table.

Shen Tuchan put the teacup away for the old lady, and said seriously: "Tell me what happened to you first. My niece met a few people at the banquet in Langyuan Court a few days ago, so I can guess."

After listening to these few sentences, the old lady probably understood and said to the third master Shen Tuye: "You can tell me."

Shen Tuye had no choice but to tell the troubles he encountered in the court.

The Taifu is in charge of the royal treasury, cashiers, tributes, goods and bribes. He has been diligent and meticulous since he was the young minister of the Taifu, and has never made any mistakes. She said she liked the painting very much and wanted to have a look at it all the time, so the emperor said that the painting was in his own hands, so there was no reason why he should not let the concubine see it, so he asked the Taifu to find the painting and present it to the concubine for appreciation. Fan.

This painting is indeed in the Taifu warehouse, and it is clearly recorded in the list and account book, when it was obtained, and where it entered the Taifu warehouse.

But now the painting is nowhere to be found. I have searched up and down, inside and out, and even interrogated the cleaners and the guards who are usually on duty, but there is no clue at all.

The emperor had already urged him once, and he was so anxious that if he urged him again, the crime of losing the royal treasure could be big or small, but that painting was treasured by the former emperor. Mouth, will also deal with him.

After hearing this, Shen Tuchan turned her head to look at the Fang family who had been silent all this time: "Third aunt, I don't know much about the harem. Does this concubine have anything to do with the Duke of Ming's mansion? It doesn't matter whether it's an in-law or a dependent."

Several people were all taken aback, Fang frowned and thought about it for a while, and was about to shake her head, when she suddenly remembered something and said: "There is an old story, Yu Concubine came from a humble background, she was just the concubine daughter of a sixth-rank official in southern Fujian, and she was still in the palace for many years. She is just a noble person, and she was able to become a concubine because one year ago, the emperor was about to set off to drive south of Fujian. Go, and when you come back, you will be granted the title of concubine!"

That's right.

Shen Tuchan then asked again: "In the harem, she should be from Concubine Rong's faction?"

Shen Tuye had already sensed something at this moment, he nodded and said: "When you are a nobleman, you can't rely on both sides, and you can't rely on low status. Later, when you were promoted to Jade Concubine, you slowly climbed up to Concubine Rong."

Shen Tuchan now understood who was in charge of the matter, she clasped the jade bracelet on her wrist and said, "Don't worry, third uncle, I will take care of this matter, it's just the Taifu side, now I'm sure it's someone from Ming Dynasty Duke's Mansion, you'd better check it out."

"How do you deal with it?" Shentu Ye was shocked, and the old lady over there also frowned and said: "Achan, this matter has a lot to do with it, it's not a child's nonsense!"

Shen Tuchan smiled and looked at the old lady, then looked at Shen Tuye and said: "A few days ago at the Langyuan Court banquet, Zheng Cuicui of the Duke of Ming's mansion ordered the Eighth Princess to kill me. I didn't succeed and suffered a little loss, so I knew they must have another trick. Grandma, uncle, don't worry! Then Zheng Cuicui has some things in my hands, unless the Ming Dynasty government doesn't want this daughter anymore, I'll handle it, trust me once."

She was not originally a gentle and beautiful person, with slender eyebrows and slender eyes. When she was cold, there was always an indescribable frost between her eyebrows, but she loved to smile, always raised the corners of her mouth, and looked at people seriously. The girl, but her eyes are serious, and she stands with a smile, which makes people unbearably convinced.

The old lady and Shen Tuye looked at each other, and the old lady said worriedly: "You won't jump the wall in a hurry, right?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head with a smile again and said, "Don't worry, grandma, it's just a small meeting with people from the Duke of Ming's mansion. It was only a little conflict at first, and it's not a blood feud. The Duke of Ming's mansion offended the royal family because of Zheng Zhe. , The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, I guess I was eager to find a backer for a while, so I thought about taking refuge in Concubine Rong, the eighth princess just didn't like me, and Ming Guogong's eyelids are so shallow, even the suspicion of his daughter's family has to be taken care of, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future What a big climate."

She spoke lightly, but her analysis was clear and logical, and Shen Tuye couldn't help but look at this niece differently.

He nodded: "Then go and try it, if it doesn't work, come back and tell me as soon as possible, be careful not to leave any excuses."

Shen Tuchan stood up solemnly and said yes.
