royal girl

Chapter 162
The garden in May is full of purples and reds. The back garden of Prince Jing's Mansion is not very big, but it is very delicately arranged.The nine-curved corridor is hidden among the flowers, plants and trees. The rockery and flowing water can only hear its sound, but can't see it. Only when you look for it, you can see its beauty.

Because Huiyu pays more attention to privacy, when she visits the garden, she is always guarded.Huiyu didn't want to see Ji Qiyu complaining to others while walking in the garden. In order to avoid such things from damaging her confidence in being a good wife, Huiyu decided not to visit the garden by herself. Let others in, anyway, she doesn't visit the garden every day, and she still has the privilege of being a princess.

Because of this, Huiyu was so casual when talking to Ji Qiyu in the garden, otherwise Huiyu wouldn't be so disrespectful outside.

But everything happens by accident.

All the good mood is gone in an instant.

"Greetings to the prince and concubine." Concubine Wei came back to her senses with a white face and saluted immediately, feeling uneasy in her heart. She didn't expect the concubine to look dignified and calm, and she didn't expect to be like this when she was with the prince in private of.For a moment, the roar of jealousy could not stop, no wonder the prince was crushed to death by the princess.

Just now, she seemed to see the prince smiling.Since she entered the palace, she has never seen the prince smile.

Ji Qiyu was still at the side, Huiyu didn't want to be labeled as jealous by him, and immediately put on a flawless and kind smile, "Didn't you go back to your mother's house so soon? Since Master Wei is sick in bed, You should do your best to be a filial piety." After returning so quickly, Huiyu almost thought she was here to block them.

Concubine Wei's face was slightly stiff, and she glanced at the prince who was standing aside without speaking, and then said cautiously, "Thank you, princess, for your tolerance. It was my father who asked me to come back earlier so that I could serve in front of the princess. I don't dare to be lazy. .”

In front of the male lead, she was kind and kind, and this side concubine Wei was not easy to save.Huiyu smiled lightly, "It's good that you have this kind of heart, I don't lack servants, you just need to serve the prince well." After Huiyu finished speaking, she didn't look at Ji Qiyu and walked out Now that everyone is here, it's not good for her to continue to occupy him. Even though she feels uncomfortable in her heart, this kind of generosity is not unreasonable, even if Concubine Wei uses this method to block people, it is disgusting.

Seeing that Huiyu was about to leave, Concubine Wei was overjoyed, she didn't expect that the concubine would wince, and hurriedly knelt down to salute and send her off.But before she straightened up, she saw the prince chasing after the concubine, the smile on her face froze, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

"You actually put people in there, the princess will punish you if she finds out." Xue Ying's voice changed from anger, looking at Xue Qi, she really wanted to give her a slap to wake her up.

"You think I'm stupid. I just can't stand those who pretend to be stupid. Every time I come to the main courtyard, I take the time to block people. It's hard to say the princess. The prince can't see it. I just see it." What is not to be tolerated is to let her bump into her to see if the prince sees her!" Xue Qi yelled in the direction of Concubine Wei's courtyard, "At worst, I will go to the princess to plead guilty, and I will accept the punishment. Like her, she came here to disgust people, how can I live in this day? The princess can't do anything, I'm a slave, so I've come to this tone anyway, I'll admit it whether it's life or death."

Xueying didn't expect Xueqi to be so angry, and she didn't expect to be so bold, she didn't speak for a while.In fact, she also knows, it's not that she doesn't understand, it's not that she doesn't understand, it's just that she didn't speak out, or she really did something heinous. After all, the Dong family also had a side concubine. She thought that as long as the two side concubines were sensible people, she would not be willing to make things difficult.It's just that Xue Qi didn't hold back, and just let people go so blatantly. This matter may not be a good thing, but Xue Qi couldn't figure it out.

"You really did bad things with good intentions. You vented your anger, but you may not be good to the princess."

"What do you mean?" Xue Qi was unhappy, could it be that she also harmed the princess?
Seeing that Xueqi couldn't figure it out for a while, Xueying called her in a low voice, "Think about it, the more things are unclear, the less people know about the things between the princess and the prince, and the less they don't understand, the less they understand." If you dare to attack, you will be able to lift this layer of veil now, and people will see it clearly, so they will think of a way."

Xueqi's face turned pale after thinking about it, "Then... what should I do then?"

"I don't know." Xueying was also worried, "I can only take one step at a time, and be more careful in the future. Fortunately, the princess is not pregnant yet, and you have to be more cautious when you are pregnant. You just can't hold your breath."

Xueqi's face was pale, and she couldn't speak a word.

regret to death.

Huiyu sat on the couch and read a book when she came back, her heart was still full of anger, but she couldn't speak.Not to mention that she is depressed, but that everyone is depressed. This matter can’t be said, but the anger in her stomach can’t be dispelled. She really doesn’t want to see Ji Qiyu now, because she is afraid that if she can’t control her emotions for a while, she will collapse. Fallen.

Just as she was thinking not to see Ji Qiyu, she came back unexpectedly. Huiyu wanted to force a smile, but then she felt that the muscles on her face were a little stiff, probably because she was too angry and hadn't relaxed.This half-smile look, not to mention showing it to Ji Qiyu, even she herself felt a little scary, so she quickly lowered her head to cover it and pretended to read a book.

Ji Qiyu chased after him all the way, but Huiyu walked so fast, as if she was really making room for him.At first he felt quite annoyed, but after walking a few steps and seeing Huiyu walking faster and faster, he realized that he was angry.Huiyu is the most beautiful, no matter when she pays attention to her posture, it is really rare to walk quickly without regard to her appearance.

After thinking it over, Ji Qiyu followed slowly, feeling pretty in her heart, if she is jealous, she should put herself at ease, right?If it was before, Huiyu would probably be able to lift a chair and sit aside to watch the fun even if he watched someone jumping on him.When I entered the door, I saw Huiyu holding a book in his hand, and he was reading it carefully, but he didn't turn a page for a long time, so he knew it was just pretending.

Walking over to sit beside Huiyu, he asked with a smile, "What's for dinner?"

Huiyu: ...

wipe!Who is this!
"You have to ask the cook about this." Huiyu tried to calm herself down, and felt that the words were a bit choking, so she hurriedly added, "What does the prince want to eat, I will explain to Bingying later."

"I want a stewed mutton with hawthorn radish, a sweet and sour pork ribs, a sweet and sour carp, and a boiled grass carp with pickled cabbage."

Huiyu was stunned, why is it sour, how can I eat this... His face froze, it was all sour, and peaty mocked his old lady for being jealous!This person is really shameless, he can do such a thing, he is really shameless, shameless, so shameful, he is so obvious?She wasn't jealous, Jubi wasn't jealous, she was angry, angry, do you understand!
He was half-dead in anger, but he said: "My lord has changed his taste. It's sour after all. After eating this meal, his teeth will fall down. Let's add a few more green vegetables, a steamed white jade with emerald, a fish-flavored eggplant, How about a seaweed beef soup?"

Seeing Huiyu discussing with him what to eat for dinner with an extremely serious face, Ji Qiyu was depressed, and seeing Huiyu's serious look couldn't say anything else, so he could only follow her to talk about the food.After deciding what to have for dinner, Ji Qiyu let out a long breath and said with a smile, "Aren't you angry anymore?"

"I'm not angry." Huiyu immediately explained, "There's nothing to be angry about. I'm not the kind of narrow-minded person. Don't get me wrong, my lord."

Ji Qiyu didn't look like she was lying when she looked at Huiyu, could it be that she really thought wrong?After a while Ji Qiyu felt a little depressed, looked at Huiyu and said, "I'm going to the study, you can rest."

Ji Qiyu left and Huiyu was also relieved. Pretending to be virtuous is also a technical job. Just now, looking at Ji Qiyu's expression was a bit wrong, but he was generous enough. Why is he still angry?
After thinking about it, Huiyu felt that she had used her brain too much in this area today, so she should rest her head.

After Ji Qiyu left, Xueqi came to plead guilty, knelt there and begged Huiyu to punish her.

Huiyu looked at her, "There are no rules, since you made a mistake, go out and kneel by yourself." The rules are all set by Zhong's mother, and there are also rules for how long to kneel.Huiyu doesn't punish Xueqi who made a mistake. Tomorrow, the little girl below will do her own thing. This hole cannot be broken, but Xueqi is relieved that she can take the initiative to admit punishment to Huiyu. She doesn't want her girl to really change. If you become a person who sees no one in your eyes, then you should bring disaster on yourself.

Xueqi on the Yonglu Road in the main courtyard knelt straight, and the maids and women in the courtyard did not dare to show their air, and hurried on their errands.What mistake Xueqi made, mother Zhong has already made it clear, and beat everyone on purpose, even if the big girl next to the princess made a mistake, she will be punished according to the rules, if she is lucky, now You can go to another yard as an errand and so on.

After kneeling for two hours, Xueying carried Xueqi back to the room. Hot water was prepared in the room, and a hot towel was applied to her knees, and the bruises were rubbed away with medicinal oil. Xueqi bit her in pain. His face was white with gritted teeth, and tears rolled down his eyes.

Xueying looked at him like this and said: "This medicine is given by the princess, and she also asked me to apply it to your legs. Otherwise, if you leave it alone, you will be so painful that you won't be able to get out of bed this winter."

Xueqi didn't shed tears before, but now she did, "I'm the one who shamed the princess."

"It's fine if you understand it in your heart, and that's fine. With your incident, you can also make those restless people understand that working in the main courtyard is not just a joke." Xueying applied medicine to Xueqi, and said: "The princess has said in the past few days that she won't let you work as an errand, take good care of her, and go there after you've taken care of her."

"Kowtow to the princess when I'm well."

"That is to say, we came here with the princess, which master will not beat this matter to death."

"I know, when I let side concubine Wei go, I was ready to be punished."

"But the concubine didn't give up, she just punished you to kneel, you have to keep the master's love in your heart."

"I'm not stupid."

"Okay, I'm going to work. You can rest. I have a little girl to serve you. If you have anything to do, you can order her. Don't get out of bed casually. Take care of your body."

After Xueying finished speaking, she hurried out, Xueqi looked at the roof and burst into tears.She just can't understand the two side concubines who are disgusting people, why?
People in this world have thousands of ways to fight against others, but there are only a few people who walk on the edge of the rules.I don't do things that violate the rules, but the things I do just make people feel blocked and can't be dealt with.The princess can turn a blind eye, but she can't see the princess being wronged.Kneeling for two hours is nothing, if there are still those who don't have long eyes, she will never end with them!

Concubine Wei soon got the news about Xueqi being punished. At that time, she was holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, and she almost knocked over the cup in shock, so some hot tea was spilled on the back of her hand. It was hot and painful.

"The side concubine..." Mama Tang hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it off, and then asked Lianhua to bring cold water, and it was a busy job.

"Mom, what do you mean by Wangfei?" Concubine Wei felt a little uneasy. Was Wangfei warning her by punishing the girl next to her with such a big fanfare?

"Don't think too much, that girl knows that the concubine's garden will be sealed off when she visits the garden, but she didn't stop you when you passed by today. It must be because of this, and it has nothing to do with you." Mother Tang is the nanny of the side concubine Wei. Xiao watched him grow up, and followed him to the palace as a companion, so he was naturally extremely loyal.

"Mom, you didn't see it today. I saw the prince smiling. I thought the prince couldn't smile, but he only smiled at the concubine." Concubine Wei's eyes turned red as she spoke, and the handkerchief in her hand was tightly squeezed. .

When Lianhua saw it, she immediately backed out and guarded the door. Watching Lianzhi come over with tea, she made a quiet movement with her finger on her lips, and said in a low voice, "Mother Tang is talking to the side concubine, don't go in yet." .”

Lianzhi handed the tray to the little girl behind her and asked her to take it back, then sent her away, then looked at Lianhua and said: "At that time you followed the side concubine, what happened? Not right."

When Lianhua heard Lianzhi's question, she whispered a few words in her ear, and saw that Lianzhi's expression changed, and she didn't want to say anything.

Lianhua looked at Lianzhi and didn't say a word. The prince was famously cold-faced in the capital before, so they all thought that the prince didn't like to laugh.Who knows... the prince doesn't smile, it's just that he only smiles at the concubine, so the concubine gave the prince a face and walked away, the prince chased after him without even looking at the concubine, it was really embarrassing and embarrassing Sad, can the side concubine feel better?
"My lord... my lord is really cruel. I have been here since the day my side concubine entered the mansion, but even if I came, I just stayed in the room for an hour and then left. It doesn’t look good, it’s because the smell in the room is bad.” Lian Zhi’s face turned pale again thinking about what happened that day, and later she found out that the prince is a clean freak, he can’t smell strange smells, and can’t see dirty things.Because of this, the side concubine changed all the incense in the house, and the maids cleaned the inside and outside of the house several times a day, but the prince never came again.

Lianhua pursed her lips, "Could it be that the lord just likes everything in the wangfei's place? The wangfei is really a capable person. With a temperament like the lord's, he can coax and keep people."

But Lian Zhi couldn't help but said: "That's not necessarily the case. The princess has a good family background, so the prince has to take care of it. I don't know what will happen in the future. Now that the princess has only entered the door not long ago, our concubine has to bear the slap in the head." a knife."

"But how old is the concubine side than the concubine Wang, and I also heard that newcomers will be recruited in the palace this year, and all of them are generally younger than our concubine, and I'm afraid there will be no place to stand by then."

"...Thinking about the side concubines in the palace, probably only the side concubine in our mansion is the most wronged. How can other side concubines be left out in the cold? I'm favored, Mr. Concubine Bizheng gave birth to a son, I heard that Prince Ning likes that child very much, and Concubine Dong is very beautiful in Prince Ning's mansion now. They are all concubines, look at her."

"Say a few words less, lest the side concubine will be even more sad when she hears it."

"I'm just annoyed."

Who can stand it, but is there any way, the concubine's methods are high, the prince who sees the sky is like eating the enchanting pill, and goes straight to the main courtyard after returning.Not to mention their side concubine's place, even Yang's side concubine would not go there, the life of the main concubine is really good.

Can I be a concubine if my life is not good?

In the room, Mother Tang was also persuading Concubine Wei, "...the lord is still in high spirits, and the concubine is indeed born well, and her family background is good. Maybe the concubine ran into the side concubine's room not long after she entered the mansion. I still have to be patient, I see that side concubine Yang is very stable, you must not be used as a gunman and provoke the prince for nothing Disgusting, that’s not worth the candle.”

Concubine Wei was a little hesitant, and after thinking about it, she said: "My mother said that I still want... to give birth to my own child."

Tang's mother sighed in her heart, who doesn't know, but how can the prince not come?Now the side concubine is still a girl, so I worry about it when I think about it.

"Don't worry about that. If you make a wrong step, the side concubine has to be steady." Mother Tang persuaded her slowly, fearing that the side concubine would really do something that would harm others and not benefit herself. side concubine.

"I listened to my mother, but I'm just... wronged." Concubine Wei collapsed on the couch, covering her face and choking in a low voice.

Who is not wronged in life, after thinking about it, he said: "Then think about Princess Jin, Princess Jin may not be as comfortable as you, but she is still the main concubine, who was so aggrieved by the two side concubines. .Who hasn’t felt a little bit wronged in life, as long as you stand upright and straight, the prince will always see your benefits.”

Mother Tang coaxed Concubine Wei slowly, and Concubine Yang also got the news. After listening to the girl, Liu Yemei raised her eyebrows and sneered, "What an idiot, the princess has a good family background, she is beautiful, and the prince married her. Naturally, it will take a few days to warm up, but it’s really a no-brainer to bump into it at this time.”

Concubine Yang's father had worked as the envoy of the salt department for so many years. Although the official position was not high, it was an important position.After she was born, she was the only daughter in the family, and she grew up pampered.It's just that she didn't expect to enter the palace for a draft, but in the end she was pointed out as a side concubine. Looking at the glory and favor, she wanted to be a good lady since she was young.

In the end, she became a concubine for someone else. Even if she was a side concubine, she was just a concubine, but she was still a concubine after all.

Mother Feng glanced at Concubine Yang cautiously, and said in a low voice: "But this is not the way to continue. If the prince doesn't come, how can you give birth to an heir and gain a foothold in this palace. The old slave heard that the mansion will have another draft for this time." Newcomers..."

Concubine Yang's expression was not very good when she heard the words, "The princess is too young to get married, and she has waited for three years with us in vain, but what's wrong with me? After entering the mansion, the prince is still so indifferent. It’s really boring.” Having said that, he sneered again, “Even so, there’s no rush, just wait and see, flowers don’t have a hundred days to be happy, and people don’t have a hundred days to be successful. The prince has been resting in the main courtyard, and the princess is afraid that soon She is about to get pregnant, and if she can dominate the prince by then, there will always be a chance. The prince is not in a good temper if she can't bear to bump into her like Concubine Wei."

"You can see clearly, but this old slave feels wronged for you."

"I'm not wronged, there's nothing wrong with it. Being a concubine depends on the face of the main wife. What kind of airs are you putting on at this point?" Although Concubine Yang is in a bad mood, she is not the kind of confused person. If the concubine still wants to put on the airs of the concubine, then it is fatal."

Feng's mother turned pale, "It's fine if you can think about it."

"Life is long, so why panic?" Concubine Yang smiled after she finished speaking, looking at the large clump of cannas standing outside the window against the wind, the emerald green leaves were wiped clean by the girls, and the sunlight can almost reflect light.Concubine Yang's face darkened when she thought of this, she only found out about the prince's obsession with cleanliness later on, and since she knew about it, she has let the maids clean up every plant and tree in the yard.

But she waited day after day, but she couldn't wait for the prince. In this four-corner courtyard, the cold and lonely days could drive people crazy.

But just like that, I still have to bear it, who made her a concubine.

"This year's draft picks up newcomers, and all the newcomers are self-motivated. Let's just watch what the princess does. Our princess is the most virtuous and virtuous, so she won't wrong the new sisters, right?" Concubine Yang sneered. Smile, so people have to be able to sit still, and the one who endures to the end is the one who wins.

Ji Qiyu was not able to come back for dinner and was announced by the emperor to enter the palace.

Calling people away at this time, Huiyu was a little frightened, after all, the matter in Huangzhuang had not been resolved, and if it was brought to the emperor, Ji Qiyu would be wronged again.

It was getting dark, and seeing that the palace was about to be locked down, but before Ji Qiyu came back, Huiyu really couldn't sit still.The food on the table was completely cold, but Huiyu didn't move a mouthful, thinking about how she could eat it.

"Princess, Jiang's guard came back to deliver the prince's letter, and Miao Rongguang is waiting outside." Xueying walked in quickly and said.

"Let him in." Huiyu said immediately.

Miao Rongguang bowed his head and kowtowed to Huiyu when he came in, "My servant greets the princess."

"Eunuch Miao got up, what did the lord say, why haven't you come back yet, but you've stumbled?" Huiyu was really anxious, and asked in repeated voices.

Miao Rongguang knew that the prince was very concerned about the princess, so he didn't dare to talk too much, so he said directly: "I don't know exactly what happened, but I just announced a few adults into the palace when it was getting dark. Then Jiang guard So I came out and sent a letter to the slave, saying that the princess doesn't have to wait for the door, you should rest first."

This is because I don't know when I can come back, Huiyu's heart sank, she looked at Miao Rongguang and asked: "Who are the adults who entered the palace later?"

"Master Shoufu Zhang, Master Guo, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and a few other servants who didn't see clearly." Miao Rongguang replied.

Huiyu thought to herself, it seemed that the entry of Xuan's people into the palace had nothing to do with the affairs of Huangzhuang, but the emperor didn't want to see Ji Qiyu the most, so why didn't the rest of the lords call him into the palace first?Huiyu couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, and asked again: "Aside from the prince, has the emperor announced other princes to enter the palace?"

Miao Rongguang shook his head, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I heard that King Ning entered the palace at noon to greet Xia Zhaoyi, but I haven't seen him come out."

If he didn't come out, he would stay in the palace. Huiyu's face sank, but anything related to the hero Ji Fuyan would cause great changes. Huiyu really had fifteen buckets in his heart. .But seeing that Miao Rongguang didn't know anything else, he said, "Go back quickly, the prince has to be ordered before he leaves the palace."

Miao Rongguang didn't dare to delay, so he left quickly.

After Miao Rongguang left, Huiyu thought for a while and called Mother Zhong over, and asked her to find Kan Zhiyi in the dark.Vaguely, Huiyu felt that this incident might have something to do with the southern shipping and the salt affairs that the Xinguo government wanted to retake. If this was the case, she would have to figure it out first As a countermeasure, Ji Qiyu's fate in the palace is unpredictable, she can't just wait.
