The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 327

The Yunxi family doesn't look forward to the annual New Year's Eve banquet at all. The process is the same, and the most difference is in the menu.

This year is different. This year, she already has a lot of expectations in her heart.

So she didn't go back after dinner as usual, but stayed in the palace with the excuse of talking to Concubine De.

Concubine De, as a canonized noble concubine and in charge of the Phoenix Seal, added a bit of grace and luxury to her body, but the fine lines on the corners of her eyes and brows somewhat revealed her age.

Concubine De made her a pot of snow lotus tea, and said: "This is a newly researched variety by the people below. I tasted it and it's not bad."

The reason why it is called snow lotus tea is because the tea leaves are brewed with hot water, like a snow lotus flower slowly blooming in the water, revealing a beautiful and elegant taste.

Yun Xi took a sip and smiled, "It's really good. It's similar to Yunwu tea, but it's cooler." And when drinking it, there was a faint chill.

Concubine De took a sip and said, "Why didn't you bring Zhuzhu and Pudding in today?"

Yun Xi sighed, "Zhuzhu slept for too long yesterday, so she couldn't sleep at night, and after a night of trouble, she didn't have much energy during the day, and now it's snowing, and the weather is really cold, so I let her rest at home. "

"As soon as she rested, Little Pudding also got into the bed."

When Yun Xi talked about the interesting stories about the two children, Concubine De listened very seriously, her eyes were gentle.

When Yun Xi was talking, her heart unconsciously drifted to Chu Ling.I don't know what kind of good things are happening in the Fairview Palace now.

Jinxiu Palace is the palace where Concubine Hui, the concubine of the third prince, lived. After Concubine Hui passed away, the palace was temporarily vacant.It's just that Chu Ling would go to this palace every year after the New Year's Eve banquet to offer a stick of incense to his biological mother.Because Concubine Hui died on this day.

The little Xie family wanted to lure his sister-in-law Xie Concubine Xie and the fifth prince Chu Ye to this palace, and then let Chu Ling, who came to offer incense to his birth mother, see him after they accomplished something good.

His side concubine and his emperor were in the palace where his biological mother stayed. Chu Ling would definitely hate these two people.In this way, Xiao Xie can not only get rid of his sister-in-law who is like an enemy, but also help Chu Ling bring down the fifth prince, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Little Xie was so confident because she secretly replaced the candles in the palace with candles mixed with warm fragrance that she had made herself. When the candles were burning, the aphrodisiac potion was also ignited.

Although she calculated well, Concubine Xie obviously wouldn't be fooled by this. Instead, she borrowed the props prepared by Mrs. Xie to plot against Feng Donghua and Chu Ling.

With Feng Donghua already aware of these things, he didn't know which direction things would develop.

"What are you thinking?" De Fei's voice woke her up.

Yun Xi came back to her senses, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I was just thinking that the plum blossoms blooming in the plum garden today are quite wild."

Concubine De smiled slightly, "Appreciating plum blossoms in winter is also an elegant thing, how about we cook tea and admire plum blossoms over there."

Naturally, Yun Xi would be more obedient than respectful.Meiyuan is quite close to the Splendid Palace, which is convenient for watching a good show later.

……

In the Longevity Palace of the Empress Dowager, Xiao Xie wore a pink cloak, which set off the small face of the melon seed.

After chatting with the queen mother for a while, the queen mother waved her back.

After Xiao Xie saluted respectfully, she walked out of the Longevity Palace.

She whispered to her maid: "How is the arrangement over there?"

Her maid showed a confident smile, "It's safe! The fifth prince's guards have received our letter imitating Concubine Xie's handwriting, and they will definitely go to Jinxiu Palace to have an appointment with Concubine Xie."

"In another quarter of an hour, it will be time for the prince to go to Jinxiu Palace to offer incense. At that time, we will definitely meet the scandal of the two of them."

The corner of Xiao Xie's mouth curled up, and her smile became a bit more vicious, "She hurt my baby, and even thought of giving birth to a boy to fight with me, don't even think about it."

Thinking of his sickly son and his body that would not get better no matter how he adjusted it, little Xie wished to swallow side concubine Xie alive.She understood even more in her heart that the reason why the Xie family supported her now and did not give up her son was simply because Concubine Xie was unable to give birth before. Once the first sister really gave birth to a healthy boy, she and her son would become abandoned sons of the Xie family.

As soon as the servant girl saw the hideous look on her face, she knew what she was thinking, and lowered her voice, "Master, don't worry, the warm and fragrant medicine is very strong. I'm afraid Side Concubine Xie will lose her child because of being too intense." .”

Xiao Xie's eyebrows relaxed when he thought of that scene.She smiled slightly, and her voice returned to normal volume: "Let's go to Meiyuan to enjoy the plum blossoms."

At that time, I will be able to see the fate of my sister-in-law for the first time!
……

Concubine Xie looked at the note in her hand, smiled lightly, and said, "You see, my sister is really good at imitating my handwriting."

The maid in blue said: "Miss Four, she wanted to learn from Miss in everything since she was a child, but after all, she only painted tigers instead of anti-dogs, just to add to the joke."

"It's just a concubine, but she still wants to fight with you, miss, I really don't know how to live or die."

The servant girl next to Concubine Xie could be said to have the same nostrils with her, and she was not soft-spoken at all when she belittled Xiao Xie.

Concubine Xie's rouge-stained lips pursed into a sarcastic smile, "The prostitute crawled out of her belly, no matter how much you teach her, she won't be able to stand on the stage."

Xiao Xie's biological mother was originally a Qingwan, who was raised by Concubine Xie's father in the outer room. After giving birth to Xiao Xie, she brought her daughter into the mansion, barely having a status.

Concubine Xie and her maid walked slowly around the lake. The surface of the lake was frozen into ice cubes due to the heavy snow for days, and the clear ice surface reflected a faint cold light.

Concubine Xie asked: "Can you send the letter to Feng Donghua?"

The green-clothed maid nodded, "If Feng Fang knew that the Fifth Prince was having a tryst there, she would definitely rush over there. After all, her status is not high, and the only thing she can rely on is the Fifth Prince's favor."

Concubine Xie narrowed her eyes slightly, "I didn't intend to plot against her so quickly, who made her become more and more disobedient now. I just wanted her to give Chu Ye the medicine, and she But she refuses, and completely forgets who made her enjoy the present wealth."

The green-clothed servant girl said: "She is so ignorant, so she can only pretend to be an abandoned child."

Concubine Xie stopped, looked at the ice, and murmured: "I didn't want to, they forced me."

She put her hands on her stomach subconsciously, and her eyes became sharp again.

……

Feng Donghua looked at the note in his hand with a sneer, and directly crushed the note into fine powder.

"She is so cruel that she wants to plot against me like this."

Yun Xi's nail Xiaojiu, who stayed by Feng Donghua's side, frowned worriedly, and said, "Master, since she is unkind to us, we don't have to worry about the past relationship anymore."

Feng Donghua nodded, "Anyway, I won't be fooled foolishly!"

After confirming the fact that Side Concubine Xie really wanted to plot against her, Feng Donghua would of course not continue to confide in Concubine Xie as before.Maybe Concubine Xie spared no effort to help her in the past in order to calculate her better today and make her use the most value.

If she did nothing like this, she would still be a little unwilling after all.

Suddenly Feng Donghua saw a familiar woman in a pink skirt walking gracefully.

There was a sudden movement in her heart, wasn't that Chen Qian?She is also the mistress of the Fifth Prince's Mansion in the future.

Although Chu Ye doted on her very much, Chen Qian occupied the status of the main wife after joining. If she competed with Chen Qian, she would definitely suffer.

If Chen Qian could make some mistakes, such as being found out about her scandal with Chu Ling, then she might not be able to become the Fifth Prince's Concubine.

She turned to tell Xiao Jiu, "I remember your sister, is she working as an errand in Jinxiu Palace?"

Although Jinxiu Palace no longer has a master, there are still some maids and servants who are responsible for daily cleaning and pruning of flowers and trees.

Xiao Jiu lowered her head and said, "Yes, my sister is responsible for taking care of those flowers and plants. She is quite good at gardening."

Feng Donghua smiled slightly, "Try to get her into the Fairview Palace."

When things get serious, following the clues, the investigation must also be on Concubine Xie, who has nothing to do with her.

……

The plum blossoms in the plum garden are in full bloom, gorgeous but not coquettish, and against the backdrop of white snow, they show an elegant temperament.

Appreciating the delicate and quiet plum blossoms, smelling the faint fragrance, brewing tea on this occasion, the artistic conception is not to mention how elegant.

Concubine De made this snow lotus tea for Yun Xi herself. Yun Xi watched the tea leaves bloom into a light yellow flower in the boiling water, and smiled. This is similar to modern craft scented tea, but the taste I don't know how much to beat.

It can only be said that the common people of this era still have infinite command.

Concubine De poured a glass for Yun Xi, and Yun Xi took a sip, a little surprised, "Why do I think it's better than what I just drank in your palace?"

Or is it because the current environment is so beautiful that the tea in the mouth has a little more fragrance.

Concubine De smiled and said: "Your tongue is really tricky, it's just the difference in the water used. The water used in the palace is spring water from the top of the mountain. When I first came out, I specially asked the servant girl to put the plum blossom petals I collected yesterday. Luoxue was brought out, so this tea also brings out a little fragrance of plum blossoms."

The aroma is very faint, and many people may not be able to drink it.

Yun Xi smiled, "Sure enough, you are the one who is particular about it." She was a little thankful in her heart, and fortunately, it was only collected yesterday, so it was still very clean.She knows that some people like to collect the falling snow from the petals, put them in jars, and bury them in the ground, and then use them to make tea after the next year.If it's that kind of water, it's been left for so long, and it doesn't know how many bacteria it has grown, so she wouldn't drink it even if she was killed.

She usually prefers to use spring water directly to make tea, and the water cannot be left overnight.

Concubine De said: "Drink more if you like."

She said: "This kind of weather is suitable for eating hot pot."

Yun Xi nodded in agreement. At home, she would often sit in the house and eat hot pot, and then enjoy the snow-falling scenery outside through the glass.

"You two are quite leisurely, making tea here, and you don't mind being hurt by the wind."

Lu Yiran walked over slowly, and even tightened his cloak.

Yun Xi said: "It's okay." Even if she feels cold, she can use her internal energy to protect her body, so it's okay.

Lu Yiran put a handkerchief on the empty stool and sat on it.

Concubine De also poured her a cup.

Lu Yiran drank it, his eyes lit up, "It tastes good." Then he poured himself a few more glasses.

Yun Xi couldn't help laughing, "You are a cow chewing peonies, I don't think there is any need to pour it, just take it with a kettle and fill it."

Lu Yiran gave her a white look, "That burns your tongue so much."

Then he ate the plum blossom cake again, and exclaimed: "The plum blossom cake here is really delicious, and it goes well with this tea."

Compared with tea, Lu Yiran was more interested in this snack, and he ate several pieces, which shows that he didn't eat much at the previous banquet.

Yun Xi only thought it was funny, and drank tea leisurely.

The three of them have a good relationship, and they get together to talk and drink tea, but they are also in a good mood.

It's just that Yun Xixi was still thinking about the matter of the Splendid Palace. She estimated that the time was almost up, and she really wanted to go and watch it, but she found a suitable reason again.

As the saying goes, if you are sleepy, you will bring a pillow, and Chen Bofei came over.

Chen Bofei's aunt is the concubine Yi in the palace. This concubine has not given birth to any heirs in the palace for more than ten years. She was pregnant once ten years ago, but it is a pity that she had a miscarriage and did not give birth to a child.Although she has no heirs, her natal status is not low, so she was also canonized as a concubine, and she has always kept a low profile in the palace.

Chen Bofei has a very good relationship with his aunt, so he stayed to play in her palace after the banquet.

Yun Xi raised her head and saw Chen Bofei's imperceptible anxiety. After she approached, she asked, "What happened?"

After Chen Bofei saluted with Concubine De, he asked straight to the point: "Have you seen my sister?"

Yun Xi was stunned, and said: "We have been making tea here just now, but we have never seen Lingmei. Lingmei is said to be dignified and respectful, so she should not run around."

Chen Bofei said: "Earlier she said that she would come here to admire the plum blossoms, but she never came back. I was a little worried."

Although Chen Bofei was cold-hearted towards his sister, he no longer took care of her like before.But Chen Qian's words and deeds are related to the face of the Chen family, of course she will be worried that what she will do will make the Chen family lose face.

Especially... her martial arts are good, but she heard the maid secretly tell her sister that the fifth prince will come to Meiyuan.She understood that the reason why Qianqian came here was because she wanted to have a so-called chance encounter with Chu Ye.It's just taken in front of people, so it's not easy to point out this point directly.

After Chen Qian didn't come back, she became worried.

Yun Xi shook her head and said, "We came here two quarters of an hour ago, except for the three of us, we never saw anyone else coming."

She paused for a moment and said, "But the plum garden is not small, maybe she happens to be admiring the plum blossoms in another place and forgets the time."

Lu Yiran directly complained: "She is also an adult, she should be very clear about what to do and what not to do, and you don't have to worry too much."

Chen Bofei suppressed the inexplicable worry that jumped out of his heart, and forced a smile, "I also believe that Qianqian has a sense of proportion."

She already felt regretful in her heart. She knew that she should not have let her go to save face at that time. It would be bad if something happened.

Concubine De stood up and said: "The scenery here is also a little tired, why don't we go to other places in Meiyuan."

This is tantamount to helping Chen Bofei find someone indirectly.

A few of them stood up directly, as for the tea sets, other court ladies would clean them up.

……

The area of ​​Meiyuan is not small, but a quarter of an hour is enough to walk around.Along the way, they really didn't see anyone else.

Yun Xi turned to Chen Bofei and said, "Perhaps your sister has already returned to the palace after watching the plum blossoms."

Chen Bofei nodded, his expression softened, "I hope so."

Seeing that her side was not far from the Splendid Palace, Yun Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, and found an excuse to pass by.

She smiled softly and said, "Let's go back this way, this way is closer."

Lu Yiran nodded in agreement.

A group of people walked over in a mighty manner. When they passed Jinxiu Palace, Concubine De couldn't help but stop, with a touch of regret on her face, "Sister Hui Concubine is really a pity."

If she lived to this day, her son was conferred the crown prince, and according to Chu Xiyuan's temperament, she would definitely be conferred the title of imperial concubine.It's a pity that she didn't enjoy the blessing brought by her son and left early.

Concubine De doesn't hate Concubine Hui, she remembers Concubine Hui as a somewhat noble woman.Perhaps because of the past few years, her face has become blurred in memory, and she only vaguely remembers that the other party loves to collect all kinds of orphan books.

Concubine De just sighed with emotion.

"I have seen Empress Concubine De." A deep voice sounded.

Yun Xi turned her head and saw Chu Ling walking over. The clothes he was wearing were obviously not the ones at the banquet.

Yun Xi snickered in her heart: According to Chu Ling's habit this year, he should have already finished offering incense to his mother and concubine at this time.But this year he didn't come until now, so it can be seen that something held him back.

From this point of view, Yang Yeqing still has a way.

She had sent a message to Yang Yeqing earlier, and Yang Yeqing simply asked Chu Ling to come to Jinxiu Palace half an hour late, so as not to be tricked by Concubine Xie.

Concubine De nodded slightly, "His Royal Highness is going to offer incense to Concubine Hui, you really are filial."

Chu Ling said with a sullen face, "I was delayed on the road just now."

On the way here earlier, the animals in Shanglinyuan were accidentally released, and one of the monkeys accidentally scratched his clothes.Chu Ling has always pursued perfection, so of course it is impossible to go to incense her mother with disheveled clothes, so she can only go back and change into another set of clothes.

This time, the time was delayed a lot.

Chu Ling himself was not in the mood to greet others, so after saying hello, he was about to enter the Splendid Palace.

Suddenly a scream sounded.

Chu Ling frowned tightly, and her steps quickened a little.

Lu Yiran has always liked to watch the excitement, so he hurriedly said: "We also go in to offer incense to Concubine Hui."

Everyone could tell that she was making an excuse.

Yun Xi silently praised Lu Yiran in her heart, she deserves to be her best friend, well done!

Then a group of people followed Chu Ling into the Chuxiu Palace.

Although Chu Ling often asked the maids to clean the Chuxiu Palace, the Chuxiu Palace was unoccupied all year round, so it inevitably had a dilapidated atmosphere.

The door of the main hall of Chuxiu Palace was wide open, and a court lady stood at the door, shaking like a sieve, with a puddle of water and a silver washbasin under her feet.It can be seen that she just dropped the washbasin in surprise, and the water even spilled on her pair of pink embroidered shoes.

The maid turned her head, and when she saw them, her knees subconsciously softened, and her voice trembled, "Your Majesty, Your Highness..."

Yun Xi heard the soft groans and the man's panting, so she didn't need to guess what the scene would be.She was just curious, who is staying inside now.

Chen Bofei clenched his hands tightly, his nails dug into the palm of his hand, and blood seeped out.One of the voices was both strange and familiar to her. It belonged to her sister, but there was a charming and strange voice in the voice.

Chu Ling stopped in her tracks and didn't go in to look right away.His face was as black as ink, even the dullest person could feel the oppressive anger around him!
Lu Yiran, who had always disliked her, couldn't help feeling sorry for him - if someone did such a thing in front of her mother's spirit, she would definitely tear him to pieces.

No, bah bah bah!You can't curse yourself like this, her mother is living a good life, and she will live a long life.

Concubine De sighed, turned around and ordered, her tone was a little indifferent, "Go and report to His Majesty." =
