The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 248 Secret matters, blood confession
Because of Ruan Wenshan's handle, Ruan Wenxiang not only successfully extorted 1 taels of silver from Ruan Wenshan, but also a set of ruby ​​and pearl noodles that she had been coveting for a long time.

As for Ruan Wenshan's complexion, she didn't care.With Ruan Wenshan's handle in her hands, she should be able to live a more nourishing life in the future.

During the period when Ruan Wenxiang successfully got rid of poverty and became well-off, Yun Xi also successfully found some clues.

In the palace, Su Wan once asked her to help investigate the matter of the four nurses.Yun Xi directly handed over the matter to Wanshiwu and Yinmen, but in less than three days, she really found a clue.

Among the four nurses, Wu's daughter once displayed several exquisite jewelry in front of people, but when others asked about it, she only said that she borrowed it.Mrs. Wu has a son and a daughter under her knees, but she has been partial to her daughter since she was a child, but she is just mediocre to her son.

The people from Wanshiwu investigated from this aspect, and finally found a bottle of medicine like ice flakes in Wu's house.

The people from Wanshiwu secretly took some ice flakes from the bottle and sent them to Yun Xi.

Yun Xi touched the potion that seemed to be cut into pieces of ice, and felt a chill penetrating into the bone marrow when she touched it. It was so cold that she was quite surprised in her heart.The world is really big, full of wonders.

The reason why he knew it was medicine was because it exuded a faint medicinal smell, no matter how weak the smell was, it couldn't be hidden from Yun Xi's nose.

This kind of strange thing is obviously not something a nanny can have.

Because Yun Shen was in the palace, Yun Xi directly asked Yun Qi to come over.Although Yun Qi was not as good as Yun Shen in terms of medical skills, he was better than most of the doctors, even better than the imperial physicians in the palace.As for Yunshen, it is at the level of non-human beings.

Yun Qi touched the borneol, sniffed it again, and said, "I know this, it's Bingxi Pill. It is said that after taking it, it can beautify your face and keep you young forever. Hundreds of years ago, there were concubines in the harem who took this Bingxi Pill." To fight for favor. Later, no one took it, of course because of the serious side effects.”

"This thing is too cold. If a woman takes too much, she will become infertile due to the cold invasion." Think about it, isn't the biggest goal of the ladies in the palace to take good care of their bodies so that they can give birth to dragon sons?This ice breath pill directly cut off their hope of having children, so it's strange that they would take it after knowing the truth.

"I've only heard of it before, but I've never seen it. If Madam doesn't need it, why don't you give it to me? I can definitely crack her secret formula within three days." Yun Qi was delighted to see Lie Xin.

Yun Xi waved her hand, signaling that if he wanted it, he could just take it.

Is the chill invading?
After seeing this thing, Yun Xi probably understood how the little prince was tricked.Mrs. Wu estimated that she secretly took the Bingxi Pill.After taking this thing, the chill invaded her internal organs, and the baby's resistance was weak, so Chu Tianzhan naturally had diarrhea.

After Mrs. Wu was bribed, all the rewards she got were probably given to her daughter. Her own family didn't look rich, so Yang Yeqing didn't find out about her.

After Yun Xi wanted to understand the joints, she ordered her subordinates to start with the jewelry to see if they could find out who was behind the scenes.

A few days later, the people from Wanshiwu used some means to follow the clues to find the clues.Someone once saw Xiaotong, Ruan Wenxiang's maidservant, appear in the village where the Wu family lived, and Xiaotong's biological parents also lived in that village.Xiaotong originally came home in the name of visiting relatives.

To be honest, when Yun Xi found this answer, she had a feeling that she expected it.

She did not expect that before Ruan Wenshan married into the third prince's residence, she had already planned ahead to eliminate her future competitors.

If Chu Tianzhan takes this milk for a long time, he is afraid that he will get sick every three days.No matter how healthy the body is, it will be tossed and broken, not to mention that the body of a child is very large, and it may die if it accidentally catches a cold and develops a high fever.

And this happened the day before Chu Tianzhan caught Zhou, not to mention how unlucky it was.

Seeing that she did not spare even children, Yun Xi hated her even more.

It's just that Ruan Wenshan, as a 16-year-old girl, holds two rare secret medicines, Peach Blossom Edge and Bingxi Pill, in her hands-even her family Yunshen doesn't have these two formulas!

Yun Xi seriously suspected that there should be someone behind her, so she simply asked people to investigate ruthlessly.

If Yun Xi made up his mind to investigate a person, it would really not be too difficult.

The hidden door finally found out that the nanny next to Ruan Wenshan was a well-known poisonous lady in the world 20 years ago.This poisonous lady was beautiful and charming, but her heart was like a snake and a scorpion.At that time, she committed numerous bloody crimes in Jianghu and poisoned many people.It is said that she is good at poison, even the breath she exhales is poisonous.

The most hateful thing about the poisonous lady is that she also likes to attack children, especially those who are under three years old. They are so cruel and inhumane that they provoke public outrage. she.

Maybe it was because there were too many people chasing and killing her, the poisonous lady finally disappeared. Some said she was dead, while others said she lived in seclusion.

Yun Xi never expected that the poisonous lady would actually become Ruan Wenshan's nanny, and she has a deep relationship with Ruan Wenshan.

Taohuayuan and Bingxiwan should be the handwriting of Du Niangzi.

It would not be a pity for a poisonous lady to die a hundred times.

After she investigated these contents, Chu Xiyuan's finger marriage also came down.He married Ruan Wenshan to the third prince, Chu Ling, as a side concubine. This marriage marriage also gave Chu Ling an added boost.

Ruan Wenshan's status as a concubine is also worthy, but she became the concubine of the third prince.Many people seemed to have glimpsed Chu Xiyuan's attitude from it. Suddenly, Chu Ling became very hot, with fire cooking oil and flowers blooming.

It's just that Yun Xi felt that Chu Ling was hit on the head by love and just took a bad move.He originally followed the route of keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile.It's good now, being directly roasted by the family on the fire is contrary to his previous style.

I'm afraid that his every move in the future will fall into the attention of everyone.Perhaps it was because of the loss of power of the eldest prince and the second prince, and the smooth sailing in the past two years, it seemed that there were no omissions, which made him a little dizzy.No matter how old he looks on weekdays, he is still a prince in his twenties.

Yun Xi wrote a long letter about the things she found out and sent it to Su Wan.If Su Wan knows, it means that the third concubine knows.As for how they will deal with Ruan Wenshan in the future, that is beyond Yun Xi's concern.

Yun suspected that Yang Yeqing would have taken care of Ruan Wenshan when she first entered the mansion, otherwise there would be such a poisonous person in the backyard, even if she slept, she would feel uneasy.

After completing Su Wan's request, Yun Xi continued to live her own small life.

In August, the head of the household department also came to the door several times, and showed Yun Xi their design drawings of the Grand View Garden.

After Yun Xi revised it five times, the draft was finally finalized.

After the final design was finalized, the garden next to it began to be built.To tell the truth, building a garden is a costly job, and the top will allocate 5 taels of silver at most.A normal garden would not be enough without one or two million taels of silver.

After the completion, Yun Xi planned to invite all of her best friends.

Because Yun Xi relies on Laisan's channel, and she can handle the exotic flowers and plants by herself, so she can save a part of the money.

After Yun Yao heard that she was building a garden, she rushed over and made a suggestion: "Sister, why not build a zoo? You see, there are quite a lot of animals in our house."

Then she began to count with her fingers, "Our family has Momo, God of War, Sandalwood, Qingge, Baixue..."

"Duoduo also raised a tortoise in the past two days! That tortoise is so powerful that it can turn over by itself!" Yun Yao said enthusiastically.

Yun Xi thought about it, anyway, the zoo doesn't need to take up too much space, and it's rare for her sister to beg her, but she can agree.She gave Yun Yao a sideways look, "But Bai Xue is your treasure, are you really willing to keep me by my side forever?"

Yunyao loves the little white fox Baixue very much. Baixue loves to eat grapes, so Yunyao washes it for her and feeds her.

Yun Yao blinked her eyes, her expression was playful and pleasant, "Isn't this just right, I can often come to my sister's side with the excuse of watching Bai Xue and God of War."

It's not that Yunyao doesn't like her parents, it's just that sometimes she gets talked about too much at home, so she wished she could stay with her sister every day to be quiet.It's still her elder sister who treats her well and never speaks of those great truths.

Yun Xi said: "Whatever you want, my sister will support you." She remembered that Du Zhoushi would sometimes ask her what type of person Yun Yao and Dodo like, and Yun Xi felt a little headache remembering this.She really couldn't see the type that these two girls liked. Duo Duo was a workaholic who wanted to strengthen the White Clothes School and make a living for women, while Yun Yao was a heartless optimist.

Speaking of Dodo, in a few days it will be Dodo's Jiji.Yun Xi told Du Zhoushi and Li Yushi that she planned to help Duoduo hold the wedding ceremony.She has already posted and invited many people.

She nodded Yunyao's head, "Are you ready for the gift for Duoduo?"

Yun Yao nodded, "I prepared it more than a month ago. I specially ordered several beautiful hairpins."

"Originally, I thought it would be more reasonable to give a bank note, but my mother beat me on the head."

Yunyao's pseudonym, Lian Nishang, is now a household name in Dachu. With a series of works, and because she is Yunxi's younger sister, most of the sales proceeds go to her, which makes her a little girl now. rich woman.After a year, you can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Yun Xi actually had the same idea, she patted her sister's head soothingly.

The gift she gave to Duo Duo was, apart from a set of clothes, the other was five hundred acres of land—the most practical gift of land.

On August 28, Yun Xi called Duo Duo early and dressed her up like a concubine or fairy.The people she invited in the post, unless they really have something important to do, all of them will come to the banquet, so that the whole Jiji banquet will not be very lively, even Lu Yiran came very face-saving, and brought a few bolts of this year's new silk as gifts.

On the whole, the whole Jiji Banquet was no worse than other noble girls in the capital, making Dodo stand out.

The gifts Dodo received were all collected by Li Yushi, and they were going to be Dodo's dowry in the future.

After seeing how much Yun Xi attaches importance to Duo Duo, Duo Duo suddenly became very popular in the wedding market in Beijing.There are also some officials and eunuchs of the fifth and sixth ranks who inquired about Duoduo from Li Yushi.Li Yushi can be said to be elated, and he is determined to find a good partner for his granddaughter.

Duoduo seemed to be very disgusted with these things, so she went directly to Yunxi's side to hide quietly.

Yun Xi felt that she would not be able to escape like this for a long time. Sooner or later, she would have to be honest with Li Yushi. By then, she did not know how many troubles would be caused.

Dodo just devotes more energy to teaching Baiyi's work first.There are several elders under her to guide her, and Yun Xi helps, and her own martial arts are good, so Yun Xi is very reassuring to her.

At the same time, Yun Xi also received a letter from Nanling.The letter only said one thing - after the solar eclipse, Yuan Lingxi had completely believed Yun Xi's previous words, and planned to give Yuan Lingyi an unforgettable experience at her son's first birthday banquet.

Yuan Lingxi's son is also Yuan Lingyu's first son. Even if Yuan Lingyu doesn't have any emotions, he still values ​​this son very much.Even Empress Lan, who raised the little prince, became the most favored concubine in the harem.

In addition, some time ago the solar eclipse caused a lot of uproar, which made him have to write a letter of guilt, so Yuan Lingyu planned to make a big one, which can be regarded as the bad luck of the previous period with joy.

At the little prince's first birthday banquet, the ministers of the third rank and above will bring their family members into the palace to watch the ceremony. This is also the best time for Yuan Lingxi to enter the palace without telling Yuan Lingyu.

The main thing in the letter was this matter. After Yun Xi read it at a glance, she burned the letter paper with a candle, hoping that Yuan Lingxi would make trouble for Yuan Lingyu in her heart.It's a pity that she couldn't witness such excitement.

……

September tenth.

The Nanling Palace is decorated with lights and festoons everywhere, making the majestic palace even more majestic and gorgeous, and its light is as bright as the sun.

The officials present and their families were all dressed in gorgeous court clothes, and everyone had a smile on their faces, as if everyone was really happy that there would be a successor to Nanling.Some acquaintances even gathered together in twos and threes, talking in a low voice, and the topic of their conversation was inseparable from the little prince.

"I heard that the little prince is reflected in the same mold as His Majesty the Emperor, and his appearance is very similar. The Holy Majesty has to go to see the little prince every day. Concubine Lan is lucky."

His voice was a little sour.

After all, Concubine Lan is not an aristocratic daughter of Nanling, but the daughter of a seventh-rank magistrate. Her status in the harem is extremely low. When she first entered the palace, because of her beautiful appearance, she was favored by the emperor Yuan Lingyu. Praise her for having the refined spirit of Konggu Youlan.Who knew that her luck was better than other concubines, and she took the lead and successfully gave birth to the eldest son Yuan Che. The mother valued her son, and was awarded the title of Concubine Lan by leapfrogging her rank.

The other concubines were named concubines by virtue of their family background. This one is purely fighting for her stomach, and now she is even more pressured on them. It is no wonder that many people are not convinced.

"Since His Majesty is in good health, sooner or later there will be princes and princesses. It is not certain who will have the last laugh."

After everyone finished gossip, they each returned to their seats and waited for the banquet to begin.

When Yuan Lingxi, the emperor of Nanling, walked hand in hand with his new empress this year, they were followed by a group of elegant concubines.The empress of Nanling was born in a family, although her appearance was slightly inferior to those charming concubines, her elegant and graceful temperament was enough to make up for her lack of appearance.

Everyone bowed their heads and saluted. Yuan Lingxi showed a smile like a spring breeze, signaling to everyone that they don't need to be too polite.

When the auspicious time came, the controversial Concubine Lan gracefully walked over with the little prince Yuan Che in her arms.Although her appearance is delicate, she is obviously not outstanding in the harem that is competing for splendor. It's just that her eyes are well-groomed, and her delicate features seem to be attractive.

Everyone saw it in their eyes and felt that it was really difficult to get long-term favor with such an appearance. This Concubine Lan should have something special in other places.

Some people who were seated closer could smell a faint fragrance of orchids, and it seemed to be coming from Lan Fei.

Catch the week feast officially started.The prince's grasping process was complicated and solemn, and when Yuan Che finally caught a seal, a faint smile of relief appeared on Yuan Lingyu's face, and some concubines lowered their heads to hide their unwillingness.

Concubine Lan showed a happy smile, looking at Yuan Che with loving eyes.

After Yuan Che had finished catching him, Yuan Lingxi stepped forward and hugged him, and announced: "Today, I canonized the eldest prince Yuan Che as the crown prince."

This sudden decree obviously scared many people, and some officials couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the First Prince is still young, do you need to observe it for a few more years?"

Just kidding, if the crown prince is established so quickly, what will the other concubines do?The son they gave birth to was naturally inferior to the son of a girl who was a seventh-rank official, which was simply unbearable.

They euphemistically stated that His Majesty will have children in the future, and they are not in a hurry to appoint a prince, they can wait a few more years.

The smile on Yuan Lingyu's face subsided, "When the prince was born, the room was full of clouds and brilliance. This is an auspicious omen bestowed on us by the heavens. I just followed the heaven's response."

In fact, the so-called auspicious omen was the wind that Yuan Lingyu deliberately let out.The purpose is to divert everyone's attention and focus on this auspicious omen, so as not to pay too much attention to Lan Fei and find out that the child was not born from her belly.

Under normal circumstances, at most, it is a good omen created by the concubine for the sake of solid favor. No one would have thought that the emperor would end in person.After Yuan Lingyu Jinkou Yuyan said that he saw the colorful glow, everyone naturally believed this statement.

Everyone saw that Prince Yuanling Yuli was very determined, so they could only follow his wishes first.It's just that the natal families of some concubines in the palace are naturally sour in their hearts, wishing that this child came from the womb of their own concubines.

They comforted themselves: Since ancient times, there are not many princes who have successfully ascended the throne.

Thinking in this way, the qi in my heart can be smoothed out a lot.

Yuan Lingyu sat on the top seat holding his son Yuan Che.Yuan Che was also bold, with so many people watching him below, he was not stage frightened, instead he couldn't stop laughing.

Yuan Lingyu's aunt, the eldest princess, asked, "Your Majesty, where is Lingxi? Today is such a happy day, why didn't you see her come out?"

Yuan Lingyu's eyes dimmed slightly, but there was still a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and his words were filled with regret, "Lingxi originally prepared the clothes to wear with great interest the day before yesterday, but he caught a cold yesterday."

"Really? I just haven't seen this girl for a long time, so I miss her very much."

"When she recovers, she will definitely visit her aunt in person."

After speaking with the eldest princess, the singing and dancing program officially began.

The young dancers on the stage dance lightly, with slender waists and light dancing postures. They dance like butterflies with the sound of silk and bamboo. They are chic, graceful and stretched, and the beauty is like a dream.Most of these dancers showed their skin around their waists and covered their bodies with gauze clothes. They were coquettish and sexy, and some young people with poor concentration were thirsty.It's just that due to the occasion, I dare not act rashly.

Especially the leading dancer, who is as graceful as an orchid, and as graceful as a dragon.At the end, it kept spinning, round and round, as if tireless, and won the applause of many people.

After the dance was over, the eldest princess liked it so much that she even called the dancer over and condescended to talk to her.The dancing girl spoke very cleverly, which made the eldest princess laugh uncontrollably.

Seeing that the eldest princess likes it, Yuan Lingyu said at the beginning: "For the sake of winning the favor of the eldest princess, I can give you a reward today. Is there anything you want?"

In the case of such kindness, people with a little knowledge will choose to refuse, so as not to leave an image of greed to the emperor, and some people ask for some insignificant and elegant rewards, so as to leave a good impression on the emperor. A little better impression.

The dancing girl knelt down directly, and after knocking her head three times, she suddenly raised her head, her gaze fell on Yuan Che, "I have only one request, and I hope that I can confess the prince's blood."

"The prince was not born by Concubine Lan at all, his biological mother was someone else."

These words were like a bomb, and the ears of those who heard it exploded, and they couldn't help but wonder if they had just heard it wrong.Isn't the prince born to Concubine Lan?
Yuan Lingyu's face changed slightly. At this moment, he seemed to realize that the dancer was probably sent by his good sister.He never thought that Lingxi could make such a move under his nose. He had underestimated her before.

He was about to speak when several ministers knelt down, "Your Majesty, the prince's life experience is of great importance, and your majesty must investigate thoroughly, otherwise, if the news gets out, the prince's reputation may be damaged."

A prince whose mother is unknown still wants to be a prince, what a beautiful idea!

Some wives of officials who have watched too many operas couldn't help imagining dramas such as stealing dragons and turning phoenixes, and having children under pretext, with gossip shining in their eyes.Gossip is good-looking, and the gossip of the royal family is even better.

Under the leadership of those few people, other officials hurriedly kowtowed to express that they must investigate this matter carefully, so as to return Prince Yuan Che's innocence.These people are somewhat in collusion with other empresses in the harem.

As for Concubine Lan, when the dancer said she wanted to bleed to confess her relatives, the blood faded from her face in an instant - she knew best whether the child was born by her.She still had the last trace of luck in her heart. At that time, His Majesty asked her to have a fake pregnancy. Under such circumstances, His Majesty would definitely protect her.

At the beginning, she was also unwilling to do such deceitful things and raise other people's children.It's just that when she first entered the palace, because she received the grace of the Holy One, she was calculated by others, her body was broken, and she could not conceive ever since.Although His Majesty doted on her, he couldn't confer her a higher rank when she had no family background, no children, and no credit. In the end, he simply adopted his and other children's children and raised them under her knees, so that she could rely on this child to become a concubine.

Originally, Concubine Lan was very proud of this matter, after all, she was His Majesty's favorite person.She originally thought that she could live a prosperous life with this child, but she never thought that she would be exposed so soon.Who is it?
Resisting the urge to faint, she knelt down and said in a weeping tone, "The concubine has been keeping herself safe in the harem, but I don't know who hates the concubine so much, and does not hesitate to frame the concubine, and please Your Majesty to return the concubine's innocence. "

Concubine Ying, who was at odds with her in the palace, said directly: "It's very simple to return my sister's innocence. Just confess your relatives with blood. When the truth comes out, everyone will definitely not talk about the prince's life experience. Concubine Lan My sister is so unwilling to admit her relatives, could it be that there is a ghost in her heart?"

Concubine Lan had a sad face, "This concubine just feels sorry for Che'er's young age, so she has to bear such heart-wrenching pain."

Seeing those eyes filled with tears, Yuan Lingyu couldn't help frowning slightly.

Another pair of eyes appeared unconsciously in his mind.

　I really can't change it today... I was delayed for six hours on the way home by car, it was almost dead... There were too many people traveling by car in the third grade of junior high school, and the car was stuck at the Tulou for at least half an hour. There was a traffic jam back and forth, and it was already past [-] o'clock when I got home, crying. I will try harder tomorrow.At least I'm back in Xiamen...
