The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 184 Gossip
Dongfang Xu looked at Xiyue who was in a panic on the ground, and finally realized. Although he was extremely unwilling, he hesitated for a moment and reached out to help her up. Before he could speak, Xiyue limp in his arms, "Your Highness , the concubine seems to have injured her leg, can Your Highness send the concubine back?"

The disgust in Dongfang Xu's eyes was even worse. The Xiyue at this moment reminded him of those pretentious women, "Come here! Send Princess Xiyue back to the palace, and immediately ask the imperial doctor to come and treat the princess."

As soon as the words fell, the maids who had been shunned by Xiyue rushed over and supported Xiyue steadily. Dongfang Xu let go of her hand without hesitation, and before Xiyue could react, she left the back garden with a flick of her sleeve. .

For a moment, the surroundings fell into a strange embarrassment, Xiyue only felt that her face was dull, she coldly withdrew her hand, and looked at the leaving figure vaguely.

Prince Chen seems to be more difficult to deal with than imagined, is it because he is not attractive?Even if he is not beautiful, isn't it rare for a man to refuse a woman who is nice to him?

"His Royal Highness..." The maid on the side seemed a little anxious, "Maidservant, can I call for a soft sedan chair?"

Xiyue slightly closed her eyes, and suppressed the emotions on her face, "That's all, it's okay, let's go back to the palace! This princess wants to go!"

The maid blessed her body and followed behind Xiyue respectfully.

Unexpectedly, before he had traveled far, he heard the passing palace people discussing something quietly, Xiyue keenly caught the word "Prince" in their conversation.

So, he leaned sideways and whispered a few words in the ear of the maid.

"The servant understands."

Xiyue nodded slightly, and then returned to the temporary palace alone.

Not long after, the maid came back with the news.

"Report to the princess, just now the servants and servants went to inquire. Those palace people said that the crown prince and Yongji county master were in the imperial garden on the day of concubine selection, and they heard that the relationship between the Yongji county master and the prince is extraordinary."

At this time, Xiyue had already changed into a smoky purple dress, she frowned slightly, raised her hand to smooth her temple hair, "Who is the Lord Yongji?"

"Princess, the owner of Yongji County is the sixth daughter of the concubine of the Marquis of Changrong."

"Concubine? A mere concubine, how did she get the title of County Lord Yongji?" Xiyue couldn't help but feel strange.

"The princess doesn't know. Before this, the Yongji County Lord and the prime minister quelled the flood and plague, and the emperor gave her a title." The maid paused and changed her tone slightly. "I heard that not long ago, this Yongji County Lord used some method to win the Queen's favor, but now he is a celebrity in front of the Queen's eyes."

"Oh?" Xiyue raised her eyebrows, and then smiled slightly, "Yuehe, go and get the Eight Immortals fruit that this princess brought from Yi Kingdom when I came here."

"Princess……"

Xiyue opened the brocade box in the maid's hand, and looked at the unique fruit inside with satisfaction, "This princess has also been here for a while, since she is about to become the crown princess of Kingdom Chen, she naturally wants to visit the queen mother."

……

In the Queen Mother's Palace.

Xiyue respectfully and politely presented the fruit brought from the Yi Kingdom, "Empress Dowager, this is a little favor that Xiyue brought from the Yi Kingdom to the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager looked at the polite Xiyue in front of her, with a satisfied smile on her face, "Oh? Then Aijia really needs to take a good look at it!"

Xiyue slowly opened the brocade box, and several brightly colored fruits immediately appeared in front of her. The small and exquisite appearance made people happy. It is a fairy fruit left by the immortals a hundred years ago!"

The Empress Dowager couldn't help showing a trace of surprise, "These lovely fruits are called Eight Immortals Fruits?"

"Yes, Queen Mother, only our Majesty can taste this fruit on weekdays." Xiyue did not deliberately exaggerate, "But it is indeed rare, and it is only once or twice in three or four years, so this time, Xiyue made a special trip to get it. Come to honor the Empress Dowager!"

The queen mother nodded clearly when she heard the words, "That really deserves its name, Eight Immortals Fruit!"

There was a slight smile on Xiyue's face, and when the Queen Mother handed the Eight Immortal Fruit to the nanny behind her, she seemed to remember something.

"Empress Dowager, Xiyue actually came here to ask for advice on something."

The Queen Mother was not surprised, and the smile on her face remained the same, "But it's okay to say!"

"Although Xiyue has not been in the palace for a short time, she has been hearing about a Yongji county lord recently. I heard that the Yongji county lord has a close relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder if the queen mother can tell Xiyue about this Yongji county lord. Who is the county head?"

The Empress Dowager smiled deeply, knowing that this Princess Xiyue was not simple, "Oh, County Master Yongji? It's okay not to mention it, but she's just a useless concubine, and the princess doesn't need to know about it."

Xiyue doesn't believe it, could it be that the Yongji county lord is a great person, so the Queen Mother Chen doesn't want to let herself know? "But Xiyue heard that the Chief of Yongji County has great medical skills, and the plague in Yucheng was brought under control not long ago, thanks to her!"

The Queen Mother's smile gradually deepened, "It's true, but the Ai family doesn't like that temper at all, and the Ai family still likes women like princesses, who are smart and considerate!"

Xiyue showed shyness on her face, "The Empress Dowager has won the award, and Xiyue also has many shortcomings. If it is possible, I will definitely ask the Lord Yongji for advice someday."

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but chuckled, took the fragrant tea from Mammy's hand, and sipped it carefully, watching Xiyue's every move from the corner of her eye.

She thought it would be a good show.

Sure enough, when Xiyue came back from the Empress Dowager's palace, thinking back on her words carefully, she always felt that she seemed to be clarifying for County Lord Yongji, so she became more suspicious.

What does this empress mean?Could it be that there is really something ulterior in it?

……

The breeze beats the willows, warm and charming.

In Changronghou Mansion, two stone lions stood awe-inspiring, the bronze gate was wide open, and there were two mighty guards on the left and right of the gate.

A luxurious carriage from far to near, looking up, canopy, tassels, velvet and satin, especially the bright yellow royal flag on the roof, all show the noble status of the visitor.

The carriage stopped in front of the stone steps at the entrance, and the accompanying guards stepped forward to set up the horse stools, and saw a woman in a costume come down behind the curtain. She looked up at the plaque of Marquis Changrong's Mansion, with a smile on her lips.

"We were sent by Princess Xiyue of Yi Kingdom. I wonder if County Master Yongji is in the mansion?" The woman raised her skirt and walked up the stone steps without waiting for the guard to answer.

One of the guards winked at his companion and signaled him to enter the mansion to communicate, but he stepped forward and stopped her, "The county lord is not in the mansion today..."

There was a cold light in the woman's eyes when she heard the words, if the county master Yongji is not here, then she will go to those maids first, and kill their spirit for the princess, "It's okay, I'll just go in and wait for a while, take me there In the courtyard of the county lord, the princess told me to see the county lord Yongji as soon as possible."

The guard looked suspiciously at the domineering group of people, but he stopped talking. The other party was sent by Princess Yi, so he must be careful.

After thinking for a while, he gave way to a road, and immediately a famous family member Ding came out of it, leading the woman into the mansion.

At the entrance of the bamboo courtyard, Yuer is trimming the potted plants in the flower beds on both sides. There are clusters of pink and white flowers blooming among the oily green branches and leaves. The breeze blows by. From a distance, the curly cloud cotton petals are like clouds in the blue sky. Shu.

When the servant saw Yu'er at the door, his expression was somewhat deep, "Miss Yu'er, Princess Xiyue from Yi Kingdom has sent someone here."

After finishing speaking, as soon as Yu'er turned around, she saw several people walking in this direction not far away. The leading woman was wearing a pink palace dress with diamond brocade and satin, with a high bun on the top of her head, and pearls and emerald hairpins in her hair. The ring, wide sleeves fluttering while walking, and the underskirt dragging the floor, can be described as bejeweled and gorgeous, and she walked to Yu'er in a few steps.

Yu'er frowned slightly, unable to guess the identity of the person. If it was said that the maid of the princess was dressed so gorgeously, it really exceeded the rules that servants should have. No matter what, she still bowed slightly as a salute, "I don't know this sister yes……"

"Oh, what kind of slave is taught by such a master." The woman interrupted Yu'er's words with a sarcasm, her delicate face was full of arrogance, "I am Xinlan, the princess's personal maid, and the county master is not here, you guys Is this how the servants treat the people sent by the princess, and they kneel down to welcome them?"

Before Yu'er said anything, she was given the name of not knowing the rules, and her own lady was said to not be able to train servants. She couldn't help but feel aggrieved in her heart, but when she thought about the absence of the lady, she was not easy to offend. To avoid unnecessary trouble, "Sister, wait a moment, Yu'er will go and call them out."

Seeing that Yu'er didn't refute, Xin Lan obediently went in to call for someone, and helped the golden hairpin in her hair, her expression became more and more proud.This outfit was specially ordered by the princess to wear, in order to show off for the princess in the Marquis of Changrong's mansion to look like a pro-princess.

Thinking of this, Xin Lan saw Yu'er leading two other girls who looked like maids to her and bent over to salute her. The jade bracelet is talking to itself.

"Oh, this is the first time I've worn this mutton fat jade bracelet. It looks even more beautiful under the sun. I remember that this bracelet was given to the princess by the priceless treasure that the second prince brought back from Xifan. Because I saw the bracelet and said something beautiful, so I gave it to me, the princess really loves Xinlan."

As he spoke, he raised his hand again and stroked the golden hairpin in his hair, "This hairpin was made by a famous goldsmith in our Yi country for a year with a lot of money. It is the only one in the world that has no similarity. I remember when the princess rewarded me, she said that she only wished that the new orchids would always be fresh like the orchids on this gold hairpin."

From the very beginning, the three of Yu'er bowed their heads and bowed their heads silently. They exchanged glances with each other and shook their heads secretly after listening to the person above them talking about the bracelet and gold hairpin for a long time. There was no purpose here, so I had to secretly change the center of gravity of my body, and listened patiently with the soreness in my legs.
