The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 266
Speaking of which, Concubine Shu is also capable. She was originally implicated and demoted to Concubine Shu because of the Luo family's "prison robbery" Xu Manzhen.Normal people may not be able to return to the concubine position within three to five years, even if she raises the eldest prince and the seventh prince and fourth princess that Mei promised.It was just that at Chu Xiyuan's birthday banquet this year, the Luo family where Concubine Shu lived presented all the books in the family, and because of this credit, Concubine Shu returned to the concubine position.

As an aristocratic family that has been passed down for at least a thousand years, the Luo family's collection of books in Yun Xi's hands is beyond comparison even after several years of collection.

It's just that although Concubine Shu returned to her original position, her brother who had been shaved into a flat piece did not return to his post after all, and was still white.

While walking, Yun Xi was quietly thinking about Concubine Shu, thinking about the reason why the other party came to find her.

There are no so-called secrets in the palace. When Concubine Shu didn't find her for a long time, everyone who should know knew about it. When Yun Xi arrived in Concubine De's palace, Concubine De smiled at her, "It's finally here. gone."

Her words can be regarded as helping Yun Xi to smooth things over, making people think that she invited Yun Xi over in advance.

Concubine De's palace is Yuxiu Palace, because of the hot earth dragon burning underground, as soon as she walked in, she could feel the heat coming towards her face, very warm.Although Concubine De has never given birth to an heir, because she is the Empress Dowager's niece and she is low-key, she has been favored all the year round.Most of the furnishings in her house are elegant.De Fei doesn't like the usual incense, so the house only has the natural aroma of fruits and oranges.These fruits are only used for display as incense, and they will not be eaten at all.

After meeting with Concubine De, Yun Xi sat on the couch.A plate of grapes is placed on the small table next to it with plum blossoms and vermilion lacquer. The crystal clear grapes seem to be carved out of crystal, which makes people salivate.

There are no grapes in Dachu this season, but some are sent from Nanling every year as a tribute.Because of the scarcity of the number, even in the palace, only favored concubines can get a plate.The queen mother loves to eat grapes, so basically her side has the most grapes.

Concubine De pointed at the grapes and said with a smile: "Try the grapes that have just been delivered, this year's taste is pretty good."

Yun Xi twirled one, and her fair fingers set off against the translucent purple grapes, making her fingers look as white as jade, with a faint brilliance flowing.The grapes were all washed clean, Yun Xi flicked them lightly, exposing the flesh inside without much effort, let them into the mouth, the tip of the tongue was the unique sweet taste of the grapes with a slight sourness.

Yun Xi blinked her eyes, she thought it was really good, it was sweeter than the grapes she ate in autumn, and the sourness in the flesh would not make the grapes too sweet, so she ate a few more before putting them down, and then Gently wipe the juice off your hands with a handkerchief.

The other palace maids have all stepped back, and there are only Concubine De and her in the room.There is also a row of pine trees planted at the gate outside the palace, which are still full of vitality even though they are pressed by the white snow.As long as there are plants, they can be used as her eyeliner, so Yun Xi doesn't have to worry about someone eavesdropping.

Concubine De's expression was a bit sad. Because of her good care, she still looked like a girl in her thirties in her thirties, and her youth did not change. "Zhuzhu is also nine months old. I heard His Majesty say that Zhuzhu is the same as sister Zhiyun." They look alike, but unfortunately I never had the chance to see them.”

In such a cold weather, it is impossible for Yun Xi to bring her daughter to the palace.

Yun Xi also heard that Concubine De was close friends with Yun Shen's mother, Meng Zhiyun, before entering the palace, and Yun Shen also received a lot of care from her when she lived in the palace, so she didn't feel at all when she asked about Zhuzhu. strangeness.

The corners of her lips curled up, her smile was serene and gentle, "I'll bring Zhuzhu in to pay my respects to my mother when the weather gets hot." As a concubine, Concubine De couldn't leave the palace at all, so unless Zhuzhu entered the palace, she Really have no chance to see.

Concubine De's eyes flashed with joy, "I also prepared a lot of gifts for this child, remember to take them back later."

Yun Xi nodded, she wished that her daughter would be loved by someone more.

She asked the question she was most concerned about, "Mother, tell me, what will happen if Concubine Shu comes to see me today?" How about it.

Concubine De's tone was light, "The left and right are just to win you and Yun Shen, or to create the illusion that you and your husband are being drawn by her. But just in case, if you want to go there later, I will let me Your two maids of honor are with you."

This can be regarded as her support for Yun Xi.Her eyes turned slightly, and she suddenly smiled, "It happens that Shuhe is a little tired from embroidering handkerchiefs these days, so it's good to go for a walk."

The marriage of Princess Shuhe has already been settled. The son-in-law is Su Qinghe, the second son of Concubine De's second brother. When he was 16 years old, he obtained the honor of a scholar, so he can be called a young talent.After Princess Shuhe was given the marriage, Yun Xi also helped her investigate Su Qinghe.There was only one Tongfang in Su Qinghe's house, and he was relatively clean among those noble children in the capital, and after the marriage was granted, the Tongfang was also sent out.

Both Princess Shuhe and the Su family are very satisfied with this marriage.

When Yun Xi heard Concubine De mention Princess Shuhe, she knew in her heart that Concubine De should think that with the Eldest Princess around, Concubine Shu would be more concerned, so she accepted the kindness with a smile.After the two finished their business, Concubine De also talked about her Red Cross affairs with Yun Xi, and she was very appreciative in her words.

"The empress dowager also mobilized our harem concubines to donate money." Concubine De said.

Yun Xi felt that this was a good thing, no matter whether those concubines were sincere or not, the common people would benefit in the end.The folks always like to imitate the royal family, and Baobuqi can spread this trend to the folks.

The two chatted slowly, and returned to their seats together when the banquet was about to begin.

Yun Xi's seat was arranged next to Lu Yiran, and as soon as she sat down, Lu Yiran came over and said, "I heard that Concubine Shu invited you over?"

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, the news must have been too well-informed.She nodded in acknowledgment.

Lu Yiran said: "There is nothing to show courteousness to, either adultery or robbery."

Yun Xi felt that what she said was indeed very reasonable.The two exchanged some words in a low voice, and when Chu Xiyuan came over, they became quiet.

Perhaps to save money, the scale of this year's New Year's Eve banquet was much smaller, and the number of people invited was not half of last year's.The food served is not as exquisite and luxurious as last year.Yun Xi heard that this year's New Year's Eve banquet cost less than a quarter of what it used to be.

Yun Xi just picked up a few chopsticks symbolically and didn't eat much.

The dishes were brought to the table one by one, and when the penultimate dish came, Yun Xi suddenly felt a ball of paper stuffed into her hand, but it was a palace maid who had never seen it before, secretly giving it to her while delivering the dishes. .She winked at her before leaving.

Yun Xi's heart moved, and under the cover of her sleeves, she secretly unfolded the note, and the corner of her eyes glanced hurriedly, her face couldn't help but change.There was only one line written on the note: The seventh prince and the fourth princess were born deaf and dumb.

Yun Xi's face was calm, but there were great waves in her heart.The seventh prince and the fourth princess, the pair of dragon and phoenix twins, attracted so much attention when they were just born, but they didn't expect that both of them had defects.The two children are just about to turn one year old now, and it is normal even if they can't speak.Some children are naturally late in speaking, and people will be anxious unless they can't speak by the age of two.

Yun Xi pursed her lower lip, there had never been such rumors in the palace until now, it can be seen that this matter was well concealed.Otherwise, if it gets out, I don't know how many waves will be caused.She was full of doubts, whether Xu Manni was plotted by others during her pregnancy, or why the two children born were like this.

Now that the two children are raised in Concubine Shu's Palace, it is impossible to say that Concubine Shu does not know the situation of the two children. I am afraid that this matter has been suppressed by her.Yun Xi's mind flashed back to the fact that Concubine Shu's maid invited her to the past, and couldn't help linking the two events together.

Concubine Shu...wouldn't be trying to use these two children to design her?For example, let the child have an accident, and then push it on her or something, then she will be speechless.

A cold murderous look flashed across Yun Xi's eyes, and then she forcibly suppressed her.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yiran noticed that something was wrong with Yun Xi just now, and asked in a low voice.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Yun Xi to reveal this matter.She pinched the note with her fingers, turned the note into powder, and all the evidence of the crime disappeared, and she just said lightly: "It's nothing."

After knowing this in advance, Yun Xi felt more confident.Although she could expose this matter, she still couldn't hurt Concubine Shu after all, and she still needed to plan carefully.

Because of her worries, Yun Xi was a little absent-minded for the rest of the time, but she always kept a decent smile on her face.

After the banquet was over, Concubine Shu walked up to her. She looked graceful and luxurious in a dress of Xiaying color, but maybe it was because last year was not so satisfactory, even if she covered it with makeup, she could still see her face. Traces of crow's feet in the corners of the eyes.

Concubine Shu said kindly: "Mrs. Yun, black spots appeared on the leaves of a pot of peonies I raised recently. The gardener in the palace couldn't find the reason. Mrs. Yun, you are best at peony orchids. This pot of peonies is really my favorite." , I can only take the liberty to ask you to help me see if I can find out the reason."

In public, she spoke so kindly and sincerely that Yun Xi was too embarrassed to directly refuse.

She smiled slightly, "Okay, it's just that my ability is my priority, and I may not be able to find out the reason." When she was speaking, she gently stroked Lu Yiran's palm with her finger.

Concubine Shu said: "If Mrs. Yun can't find out the reason, then it can only be said to be God's will."

Lu Yiran received Yun Xi's hint, and said very loyally: "I'll go over and have a look together. I also raised a few potted flowers recently, and I have some experience."

She was talking nonsense with her eyes open. Even if Lu Yiran raised flowers, she would leave them to the servants to take care of them, so she didn't need to do it herself.

Concubine Shu didn't expect that Lu Yiran would also come here together, but she found a reason to refuse, her expression flickered, but she still said: "Yiran and Mrs. Yun really have a very good relationship."

Princess Shuhe also stood up and said, "I have drawn some embroidery patterns recently, and I want to show your empress. Who in the palace doesn't know that your empress is the best at calligraphy and painting."

"I want to see it too!" The second princess refused to be outdone.

With just a few words, Yun Xi has three more companions. Even if Concubine Shu wants to do something, she has to weigh it.

Concubine Shu could hardly maintain the expression on her face, she took a deep breath, her face lightened a little, "If you don't mind, let's come together."

Concubine Shu quickly adjusted her mood, and spoke to Yun Xi and the others in a gentle tone.

Before he knew it, he arrived at the Yonghe Palace of Concubine Shu.

The pot of peony that Concubine Shu mentioned was placed on the table in front of the window, it was a pot of Yao Huang.Because it is kept in a warm house, the leaves are still green, but one-third of the leaves have black spots the size of ants, which are somewhat different from the general black spot disease.Black spot vulgaris is yellowish-brown spots on the leaves that turn from yellowish-brown to black.And the leaves will slowly wither as a result.

However, Yun Xi found that the leaves with black spots on them were even more verdant than other intact leaves.

It is indeed strange, and it is no wonder that the master gardeners in the palace are helpless.

Yun Xi frowned slightly, she took out a white handkerchief, put it on the leaves, gently touched the peony through the thin handkerchief, without touching it directly.These peonies are not the ones raised by her own family. It will be bad if they are drugged by someone, so I should be more careful.Yun Xi was not afraid of showing her distrust in front of Concubine Shu.

Seeing her vigilant action, Concubine Shu frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything after all.

Seeing her action, Lu Yiran couldn't help but smirk, "Are you checking Peony's pulse?"

Her crisp laughter also dilutes the spreading awkward atmosphere.

Yun Xi cooperated and said: "Yes, this is a diagnostic method that is not rumored, and I usually don't show it easily."

The supernatural power was transmitted from the fingertips to the leaves, and Yun Xi calmed down and communicated with this Yaohuang plant.She could feel that Yao Huang seemed very aggrieved and revealed his anger towards Concubine Shu. Yun Xi analyzed the information sent over carefully, and already had the answer in her heart.

This Yao Huang did not have such a disease himself, but was given Qiushuibi.This is an extremely rare poison for plants. After it falls, black spots will appear on the leaves. In contrast, the flowers that will bloom in the next year will be very gorgeous, and will wither overnight after blooming.

It was Concubine Shu herself who gave the medicine.

Yun Xi turned her back to them, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.Concubine Shu is really hardworking. In order to find an excuse to let her come here, even the peony flowers that are usually cherished can be done as soon as they are said, but it is a pity that such a pot of peonies is lost.

Yun Xi passed on the supernatural power and tried her best to dissolve the toxins in Yao Huang's body. She didn't know if it would be useful, so she could only obey the destiny.

After finding out the good news, she pretended to check it out, and then said: "This pot of peony has been drugged. I have read about its symptoms in the original ancient book, and what it got is Qiushuibi."

Hearing this name, Concubine Shu couldn't help but twitch her fingertips.She just wanted to use this excuse to find Du Yunxi, but she didn't expect Du Yunxi to actually find out the reason.

Yun Xi looked at Peony with regret in her eyes, "For such an innocent and beautiful flower, someone has poisoned it, it's just devoid of conscience."

When Concubine Shu heard this, for some reason, she had a bad premonition, but she only showed a puzzled expression on her face, "Prescribe medicine? Why did you give medicine to this peony?"

Yun Xi lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on her delicate face, she looked extremely innocent, "I don't know, please call all the maids in your palace, Concubine Shu, I can Find out who drugged you."

Lu Yiran nodded and said: "Anyone who can prescribe medicine to Peony must be someone who can enter and leave Concubine Shu's palace at any time. But Yun Xi, how do you plan to find it?"

She felt amazing that she could find the murderer directly.

Concubine Shu didn't know that it was her maid of the palace who gave the medicine, because she was the one who ordered it.She planned to wait for Du Yunxi to come to check, no matter what method she used, she would stop taking the medicine when she left, so that Peony would gradually get better, and then use this as a reason to let her enter the palace more often.Hearing Du Yunxi's determined tone, she couldn't help worrying that Si Hua would be identified.

She reluctantly twitched the corner of her mouth, "I believe that people in my palace will not betray me."

Even Lu Yiran was not very polite to Concubine Shu, and said directly: "This peony is a gift from Your Majesty to Concubine Shu, but you don't want to find someone who is daring to attack Peony, so you don't like this gift at all. Heart."

"It seems that you said that this peony is a favorite of yours, and you are just talking."

Between the words, Concubine Shu deliberately neglected what Chu Xiyuan sent.The eldest princess and the second princess watched their hearts with their eyes and noses, and said nothing.

Concubine Shu really didn't dare to wear this hat, she gritted her teeth, and called everyone over to stand in front of Yun Xi, except for the two big maids standing behind her.

Yun Xi reminded: "Your Majesty, there are also two big maids by your side."

Concubine Shu frowned, "Madam Yun, do you mean that the two of them are also suspects?"

Yun Xi smiled softly, "I really don't know until I find the real murderer. I also believe that the two of them will not do such a thing, it's just to help them clear the suspicion."

She had to cut off Concubine Shu's left arm and right arm today.Yun Xi knows very well that the person who prescribes the medicine is Concubine Shu's most trusted servant, and she does not know how many pickled things she entrusts to the servant.

Concubine Shu really didn't know how Yun Xi found the murderer, she still had a trace of luck in her heart, and nodded to her two confidants to go together.

Yun Xi said: "Please also stretch out your hands, palms down."

Everyone obeyed.

With a faint smile on the corner of Yun Xi's mouth, she looked over one by one, and finally she stopped in front of the servant painting, "Shihua, why did you betray Concubine Shu and attack her favorite peony?"

Si Hua didn't expect Yun Xi to find her out of so many people. His heart was shocked, and panic quickly passed over his face, and he immediately pursed his lips with an aggrieved expression, "Mrs. Yun, what are you talking about? This peony It is the empress's favorite, how could the slaves attack Mudan?"

Concubine Shu quickly said: "Yes, she is not that kind of person to serve as a servant. Is Mrs. Yun looking for the wrong one?"

Yun Xi grabbed her hand directly, and sneered, "Do you know that Qiushuibi has a characteristic? If you touch it often, there will be a green line at the half-moon position of the nail."

She felt a little regretful, but it was a pity that Concubine Shu entrusted the work of administering the medicine to her confidants instead of doing it herself, otherwise it would be fun to catch her head.

Lu Yiran directly ordered the maid beside her, "Go and search the room where the waiter painted."

Concubine Shu said angrily: "Princess Yunni, this is my palace."

Lu Yiran had already guessed the clue from Concubine Shu's weird reaction. She smiled but said, "Ms. Shu, I am thinking of you. How can such a palace maid with ulterior motives stay with her? Today she can If you secretly drug Mudan without telling your mother, tomorrow you will attack your mother."

The eldest princess said softly: "What's more, this is something that the father gave to the empress, she is disrespectful."

The second princess said: "It's too much to serve Aunt Hua, I'll tell my father." Then she ran away to invite Chu Xiyuan over, and her movements were so fast that Concubine Shu couldn't stop her.

Concubine Shu understood that it would be unreasonable for her not to hand over the painting at this time, she gave the painting a warning look, as if to remind her not to talk nonsense later.Concubine Shu felt relieved when she thought that all the deeds of sale of Shihua's family were in the hands of Luo's family.It's just that she didn't expect Qiu Shuibi to have such a characteristic, and she involved Shi Hua in vain.

She knew that her attitude had aroused the suspicion of Du Yunxi and Lu Yiran, so she remedied: "The servant girl is my trusted maid, I really don't want to believe that she will betray me." She took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from her eyes , looking very sad.

Yun Xi said indifferently: "As the saying goes, you know people, face, but don't know your heart. I don't blame your mother. It can only be said that the messenger behind the scenes is too insane, and even deal with a pot of flowers. Such a vicious person will definitely have retribution."

Yun Xi pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, but Concubine Shu couldn't do it anyway, much less dared to come out and admit that she was the one being scolded.

"Yeah, I feel very distressed when I see such a beautiful peony suffer such a murderous hand. I think that person must be an old witch who has not been loved for a long time and has a distorted mind. If she does such a vicious act, the emperor's uncle deserves it." pet her."

Concubine Shu heard that the two of them were hurting her over there, her fingers were trembling with anger, if she hadn't been thinking deeply, she would have exposed her traces long ago.

Concubine Shu was so angry, but she still had to smile and pretend to agree.

Yun Xi hurt her in front of her, and made her dare not speak out, which was a relief in her heart.But this is not enough, it is just to recover some costs.

During this period, Zhichun and Zhiqiu beside Lu Yiran found Qiu Shuibi in the painting house under the eyes of other eunuchs and nuns in Concubine Shu's palace.The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and the charge of serving the painting cannot be cleared.She knelt on the ground, her face was ashen, and her heart was ashamed.

Shi Hua knew in her heart that at this time, she could only put all the crimes on herself.She has been with Concubine Shu for many years, so she doesn't understand the other party's methods. Only in this way can she keep her family.I just hope that the empress can treat her family better for the sake of her loyalty over the years.

On the other hand, Yun Xi and Lu Yiran continued to hurt Concubine Shu one after another, and they were so angry that they didn't pay for their lives.

After the second princess ran to make a small report, Chu Xiyuan came soon.On the way, someone told him what had happened, and Chu Xiyuan's icy eyes fell on Shihua, and the murderous intent that almost turned into reality made Shihua tremble like a filter.

"Press her to the Punishment Division."

When Concubine Shu heard this place, she almost exclaimed.In the Punishment Division, at least one layer of skin must be peeled off after entering. There are countless punishments in it. Many people, no matter how stubborn they are, will obediently spit out the truth when they enter the place.

In this case, can Shihua really keep his mouth shut?Concubine Shu was already a little uncertain.

She finally couldn't hold back and said: "Your Majesty, I know that it is not a pity for the servant to die, but since she has served the concubine in the past, I should give her a white silk."

At least to die like this would be the last tenderness of her master towards her.

Chu Xiyuan's eyes fell on Concubine Shu, those penetrating eyes made Concubine Shu's heart beat faster, and the restless emotions spread like weeds.Under his eyes, she felt that all the dark thoughts in her whole body were invisible.Concubine Shu regretted what she said just now, and decided in her heart to find an opportunity to deal with Shihua when the time came, and she must not be allowed to utter words that were unfavorable to her under torture.

Lu Yiran was not afraid of this kind of atmosphere, and said coolly: "Concubine Shu is really kind, she can even forgive the court ladies who betrayed her."

Concubine Shu forced a smile and said, "Princess, the prize is too high."

Lu Yiran said: "It's just that when the empress can use this kindness on others. I just heard a few days ago that the empress punished a palace maid for an hour just because she broke the bowl. It's completely useless."

Kneeling outside in such weather is simply not letting people live.

Yun Xi sighed, "Although the court lady made a mistake first, it's a pity that she ended up like this. I'll send someone a bottle of Qianhe Ointment later."

Concubine Shu was so overwhelmed by the two of them that her heart kept burning. She noticed that Chu Xiyuan's eyes were getting colder and colder, and she secretly groaned in her heart. Along with her hatred for Lu Yiran and Du Yunxi.

She secretly swore in her heart: When Long'er ascended to the throne, she insisted on letting these two lowly maidservants kneel at the door for a whole day, so as to get rid of the bad breath in her chest!

Chu Xiyuan looked at her coldly. From Concubine Shu's behavior of protecting Shihua, he could more or less see that the person behind Sihua was probably Concubine Shu herself. Although he didn't understand the reason why Concubine Shu did this, but It didn't prevent her from teaching her a lesson, his voice was low, with a coercive majesty, "Concubine Shu has no heart of benevolence, she hurt the maids of the court, now she is relegated to Concubine Shu, and thinks about her mistakes behind closed doors."

Since Concubine Shu was demoted to be a concubine, the Luo family has expended a lot of effort and donated the family's accumulation to successfully restore her to the concubine position. This is a good time to be demoted to concubine again.

No matter how deep Concubine Shu's thoughts were, she couldn't bear the blow and passed out directly.

Chu Xiyuan coldly ordered Shi Hua to be brought to the Punishment Department.

After Chu Xiyuan finished his decree, he asked Yun Xi and the others to go back. On the other hand, he ordered the hidden guards to take away all the relatives who waited on the painting without disturbing the Luo family.It can be seen that he knew in his heart that if he wanted Shi Hua to tell the truth, then he had to use her family as a means of threat.

Yun Xi, Lu Yiran and the two maids left the Yonghe Palace.A gust of wind blows, and the snowflakes on the pine trees fall down, making a rustling sound.

Lu Yiran turned his head and asked, "Do you want to go back now?"

Yun Xi said: "I'll pay a visit to Concubine De first." Concubine De prepared some gifts for Zhuzhu, and just in time to take them back.

Lu Yiran nodded, "Then I'll go back first." She doesn't have to worry about Yun Xi being at Concubine De's side.

The rest of the journey was silent.As one of the four concubines, Concubine Shu's demotion was no small matter, and it spread throughout the palace in a short period of time.Everyone speculated about what Concubine Shu did to make Long Yan furious.Everyone can't believe that just because she punished a court lady, the emperor would be furious.

One by one, they came up with a lot of rich plots - but some people guessed that Concubine Shu ordered her maid to drug the flowers, but they still couldn't think of the reason, and they could only blame Concubine Shu for being overwhelmed.It's just that due to Chu Xiyuan's power, everyone didn't dare to show it on the surface, but they were more respectful in doing things.

When Yun Xi returned to Concubine De, she didn't hide anything from her, and told her about Concubine Shu.Although she didn't say that Shi Hua was instructed by her Concubine Shu, but Concubine De was raised under Mrs. Su's lap since she was a child, she has always been intelligent, and she also guessed that Shi Hua should be instructed by Concubine Shu.

"It can be seen that she really came to you with ill intentions, and now it is considered evil with evil."

Yun Xi nodded, she felt that she didn't need to talk about the twins, as long as Chu Xiyuan could pry the waiter's mouth open, he would definitely know about it.Why did she have to work harder and expose herself instead?

Yun Xi suddenly thought of Concubine Wen, and said meaningfully: "I heard that Concubine Wen's elder brother successfully suppressed the rebellion against Songzhou and made great contributions. Concubine Wen has devoted herself to raising the sixth prince all these years, so she is also blessed."

Whenever there is a natural disaster, some people want to take the opportunity to rebel.Some time ago, the imperial court sent supplies to Songzhou, but the prefect of Songzhou distributed aged and moldy grains instead of relief grains, filling his own pockets and causing conflicts with the common people.Under the instigation of someone with a heart, some people directly raised their troops to rebel.On the one hand, Chu Xiyuan withdrew his official position as the prefect of Songzhou and ordered him to be taken to the capital for another disposal. On the other hand, he dispatched the elder brother of Empress Wen to quell the rebellion.

Yun Xi and Wen Bin have an ordinary relationship, but they don't have any hatred.If Concubine Wen can be promoted to concubine, the position of the fourth concubine will be full again, even if Concubine Shu makes some great contributions in the future, she will not be able to restore her concubine position, and she will be a noble concubine if she dies.Unless someone in the concubine position is upgraded to a noble concubine at that time, the position will be vacated.However, according to Chu Xiyuan's mentality of balancing the harem, it should not be possible to establish another imperial concubine.

Concubine De also heard the implication of Yun Xi's words, speaking of it, her relationship with Concubine Shu was really bad, Concubine Wen's gaining power was more beneficial to her than Concubine Shu's gaining power.

The two of them didn't continue talking about this topic, they just clicked to the end, everything was kept silent.

Yun Xi didn't stay in Defei Palace for too long, and soon left the palace with the gift she gave Zhuzhu.

Back in the mansion, she opened the small purple nanmu box, which contained a pair of sky feather clothes and some extremely delicate jewelry.It is said that the practice of Tianyuyi has been lost. Twenty years ago, someone did not know how to get ten Tianyuyi, all of which were presented to the royal family.Even the queen mother at that time was allocated three horses.There was once a wealthy businessman who was willing to pay 20 taels to buy one horse, but this thing was out of print. How could someone sell him Tian Yuyi for money, but it ended up being nothing.

Yun Xi didn't expect Concubine De to have a horse in her hand, and even gave it to Zhuzhu directly.A sky feather coat, held in the hand, is as smooth as water, so light that it seems to have no weight at all.Although the other jewelry is very exquisite, it is not worth mentioning in front of Tian Yuyi.

Yun Xi put the box away, since it was given to Zhuzhu by Concubine De, it is Zhuzhu's stuff, and it is impossible for her to touch it.

Today is New Year's Eve, she and Yun Shen must be going back to Yun Mansion to celebrate the New Year.

In the afternoon, Yun Shen came back half an hour earlier than usual, and asked Yun Xi about what happened in the Yonghe Palace.

Yun Xi didn't hide anything, she also said what someone reminded her.There is a second-class maid in Concubine Shu's Palace who is Yun Xi's eyeliner, but Yun Xi can be sure that the note was definitely not sent by that person.

If that person sends a message, he will leave a mark on the note that others cannot detect.

Yun Shen hugged her and said, "Although we don't know the identity of the other party, let's say he has goodwill towards us." He will directly investigate from the maid who delivered the food, and he will definitely find out.

Yun Xi didn't doubt his ability, the two tidied up and returned to Yunfu with Zhuzhu.

Yun Mu was very happy to see them come back, but Yun Xi felt that he seemed more happy to see Zhuzhu than Yun Shen.

Zhuzhu didn't recognize her life, and smiled innocently in Yunmu's arms, her little fingers were still playing with Yunmu's finger puller.

Seeing that she liked it, Yun Mu directly took off the wrench and gave it to her, without any sign of distress.

The corners of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, the finger ring jade is warm and moist, it is a rare good thing, Yun Mu has been wearing it for more than ten years, it can be seen that it is a beloved thing, but in the end he gave it as he said.

Yun Xi hurriedly said: "Her child is ignorant, why should father give up his beloved thing."

Yun Mu said indifferently, "I'm just such a granddaughter. I will leave all my things to her in the future, so why not bear it?"

Seeing that he was determined, Yun Xi didn't say much.Yang looked at Zhuzhu with loving eyes. She has always liked children, but it is a pity that she did not have this opportunity to have her own children.

Yun Mu said: "When Zhuzhu grows up, the two of you can have a few more children." Even if he likes Zhuzhu, he also likes that Yunfu can have a small son.

Yun Xi didn't say anything, she just let the matter take its course, she and Yun Shen didn't intentionally contraceptive, it was God's will when the baby came.

Zhuzhu was young, so she couldn't hold on to sleep soon after she was full.Now she can already eat some complementary food, and her favorite food is custard and apple puree.It's just that she is only nine months old, and Yun Xi controls the amount of food every day, not daring to feed her too much.

Seeing that her daughter had already started to doze off, Yun Xi simply carried her back to rest.

Feng Dongxiang also followed, and seemed to have something to say.

Yun Xi waited for Zhuzhu to settle down and let Shuangjiang look at Zhuzhu before she walked out of the house and asked, "What's the matter?" She had already discovered tonight that Feng Dongxiang seemed to be preoccupied and absent-minded.

Speaking of which, some time ago, Feng Dongxiang made a small profit by following them to defeat the Dugu Qiubai team, and the small treasury was enriched a lot.

Feng Dongxiang pursed her lips, with light makeup on her face, she looked delicate and delicate.Ever since she was taught by Yun Xi how to learn how to make up, she has become more and more able to highlight the advantages of her facial features through makeup. Although she is still not a particularly eye-catching beauty, she can be regarded as a delicate beauty.

There was a faint blush on her cheeks, and she said softly: "I went to Ci'an Temple with my grandma to offer incense some time ago, and I met a scholar."

Yun Xi's eyebrows twitched, she and the scholar couldn't have fallen in love at first sight, goodbye love, right?
Feng Dongxiang restrained her shyness and said, "I would like to ask my aunt to help me check his details." If it was the case before, Feng Dongxiang would not dare to do such a thing, but she stayed by Yun Xi's side for a while and knew Yun Xi's character , That's why I had the courage to ask her for help.

Unexpectedly, Yun Xi was guessed right by her, and said, "Tell me the scholar's name and where he lives, and I'll ask someone to look it up."

If the other party's character is really good, then this marriage can also be done.Yun Xi even hopes that Feng Dongxiang can marry someone who is in love with her.

Feng Dongxiang recalled the appearance of that man in a jade tree facing the wind, and showed a sweet smile, "His name is Wang Yue, and he is now renting a small house on South Street with a few students to live temporarily. The scholar who just passed the exam last year, although he is only at the end Ranking, but I believe that with his age and talent, he will be able to win the exam sooner or later. His native place is in Nanzhou, and now he is staying in the capital to copy letters for others and educate children to earn money while studying. Nanzhou is not like In the capital, there is the library of my sister, so he is reluctant to leave."

"He is very nice. When writing letters for those poor people, he often charges less money."

Judging by Feng Dongxiang's expression, she really liked him, and tried her best to speak well of Wang Yue in front of Yun Xi.

Yun Xi listened to the information, and planned to ask Li Qiu to check the character of the other party. It was impossible for her to believe whatever Feng Dongxiang said.
