The reborn concubine seeks the world

Chapter 215 Symptoms
When Yu Wenjin saw Mrs. Xue Gui, he immediately showed a smile on his face, but because Murong Qingfeng had just passed away, the concubines in the harem also wore much cleaner clothes.

I poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yu Wenjin's table, and naturally poured another cup and handed it to Xue Guiren. When Xue Guiren saw me, he pretended to be surprised.

"Zhou Ning, you came to the Qianyuan Palace to be on duty?"

Hearing this, I blessed Mrs. Xuegui, and said with a smile on my face: "The emperor thought of the early death of the empress, and pitied the slaves, so he let the slaves come to Qianyuan Hall to be on duty."

Seeing what I said, Mrs. Xuegui looked at me meaningfully, I had already retreated, naturally I raised my eyes to look at Yuwenjin secretly, originally the queen mother asked me to poison his food, I just Naturally, the timing was not right to be on duty, so I never did this, but at this moment a cup of Maofeng tea was handed to Yu Wenjin, and I looked at him, and he was frowning.

Presumably, he also discovered that the cup in front of him was Maofeng tea. Fortunately, Mrs. Xuegui gave the food box in his hand to Wang Shunxi, and saw Wang Shunxi bring the snacks in the food box to Yu Wenjin.

Xuegui who was on the side smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this dessert was made by my concubine himself, so the Emperor must try it."

Seeing this, Yu Wenjin nodded slightly, Fang picked up a piece of dim sum, and just about to eat it, he put it down again, "I smell the taste of this dim sum is familiar, who did you learn from?"

Hearing this, Xue Gui stood up immediately, and then walked up to Yu Wenjin and saluted.

"Your Majesty, the empress is so beautiful, the concubine thought to herself, the emperor loves the cakes made by the tea cooked by the empress very much, so she has been concentrating on learning the crafts of the empress, and now she can finally make a snack, said the emperor. The taste is familiar, and the concubine is not very happy."

I stood aside and listened to what Mr. Xue Gui said, and I felt very cold in my heart.

Xueguiren, Xueguiren, you killed Murong Qingfeng, and now you can still pretend to be considerate and remember your old friends, you really know how to act!
But I saw that Yu Wenjin didn't touch these snacks again. Instead, I saw him frowning slightly, with a sad look on his face.

Seeing this, Xue Guiren said again: "The emperor forgives the sin, this concubine did not expect to use this cake to make the emperor unhappy..."

Mrs. Xuegui probably didn't expect that she originally wanted to do what she liked, but Yu Wenjin refused to buy her.

At this moment, Yu Wenjin reached out to pick up the tea on the table, took a sip, and saw his frown deepened.

I was secretly watching Yu Wenjin drinking tea, but Yu Wenjin suddenly turned his eyes to me. I was so shocked that I was about to lower my head, but I saw in his eyes, when they touched mine , showing a sense of joy!
Immediately, I quickly lowered my head, what was the meaning of Yu Wenjin's eyes? Could it be that he thought that I poured him this cup of tea deliberately to punish him, so he was enjoying it instead?

Thinking of this, I turned my head to look at Cuimei, who was looking at me proudly, and when I turned my head, she immediately smiled at me.

Yu Wenjin didn't make things difficult for me, but the Xuegui who was at the side took a sip of tea casually, and then spit it out in one gulp.

"How is this Maofeng tea?"

Instead, Xuegui looked up at Yu Wenjin and said, "Your Majesty, I seem to have heard from my aunt that you don't like this Maofeng tea the most. Let me ask someone to change it for you."

Hearing this, Yu Wenjin smiled slightly.

"It's okay, I'm used to drinking Longjing, and I suddenly tasted Maofeng, the taste is also special, I don't think it's bad."

Xuegui didn't expect Yuwenjin to react like this. Naturally, I poured tea for them just now in front of Xuegui. Thinking about it, Xuegui planned to make things difficult for me, but Yuwenjin never gave it to her. this opportunity.

This lady Xuegui's complexion was not very good-looking, even Cuimei who was beside her did not expect Yu Wenjin's reaction after drinking Maofeng tea at all, and a trace of annoyance appeared on her face immediately.

Lady Xue saw that she hadn't gotten any benefits, but she didn't give up, so she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine has learned a new song recently, and your majesty has to deal with all kinds of problems all day long. If you want to criticize the paper, don't you give it to your concubine?" After stroking the qin for a while, the emperor can calm down and review the papers."

Hearing this, Yu Wenjin nodded slightly, turned to look at Wang Shunxi and said, "Wang Shunxi, go and get a guqin for Mr. Xuegui."

Immediately Wang Shunxi went down, and soon the guqin was brought over. I was a little surprised that Mr. Xuegui could play the piano, which I had never seen before.

Seeing nobleman Xue raised his hand, suddenly there was a stream of high mountains and flowing water pouring out.

Hearing this piece of music, I was amazed, how could Mr. Xuegui know how to play this piece of music?

I looked towards Mrs. Xuegui in some surprise, yes, I forgot, maybe the queen mother told Mrs. Xuegui, let her learn more from me back then, maybe she could get Yuwenjin's favor!

However, at this moment Yu Wenjin wanted to criticize the scriptures, when he suddenly heard this piece of music, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction where I was. Immediately, my heart trembled, indeed, as Murong Qingluan, I also entered the palace played this tune.

I lowered my head, and I could still feel Yu Wenjin's vague eyes on me, and my heart was a little flustered. I always felt that if Yu Wenjin continued to look at me like this, I'm afraid I would become a thorn in Xuegui's side.

I subconsciously looked towards Mrs. Xue, and saw that although Mrs. Xue was playing the piano, she had already cast a jealous look at me from this side, and I thought I had already become a thorn in her side.

Mrs. Xuegui stayed in Qianyuan Hall for an hour, and seeing that it was almost noon, Mrs. Xuegui got up and blessed Yuwen Jin and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine asked the small kitchen to cook a lot of the emperor's love today." The dishes to eat are not as good as the emperor's, so let's go to Xuehan Palace for lunch today."

Hearing this, Yu Wenjin raised his eyes to look at Mr. Xuegui, and said indifferently: "Today, the fourth prince just moved to the side hall of Qianyuan Hall. I will go to the fourth prince's place for dinner at noon. You should go back, Mr. Xuegui." .”

What he said was really cold enough, Rao Xuegui's enthusiasm suddenly turned cold.

However, Mrs. Xuegui was probably used to seeing Yu Wenjin's quick changes of face, so she immediately laughed again, "It's my concubine who overstepped, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Yu Wenjin didn't take it seriously, so he saw him and said: "It's okay, Mr. Xuegui, let's learn some other tunes in your spare time. This high mountain and flowing water is not suitable for you to play."

While talking, Yuwenjin got up and stood up. Seeing that Yuwenjin was about to go out, Xue Guiren naturally followed. Cuimei and I have rested for a while.

Back in the tea room, the Dragon Well tea in Cuimei’s hand was almost useless. When Dongmei and Chuntao saw us coming back, they each reached out and took the teapot from Cuimei and me. The complexion of the person is different.

Presumably they also felt that my tea was running low, but Cuimei's teapot was still full.

I looked at them with a smile and said: "The emperor has gone to the side hall of the fourth prince, and I think it will take at least an hour before returning to the Qianyuan hall. I will also go back to the room to rest for a while, and I will leave it to you two."

Hearing this, Dongmei and Chuntao looked at me with some puzzled expressions, then they heard Cuimei laughing at the side: "I'll take a rest for a while, Dongmei, Chuntao, the weather has cleared up today, you guys will leave the tea room in a while." Take out the tea leaves that should be dried, and don’t let the emperor drink moldy tea leaves.”

Sure enough, it was Cuimei who spoke and was answered.

Dongmei and Chuntao said respectfully, "Yes, sister."

In turn, Cuimei and I came out of the tea room again, but although Cuimei and I were both tea-serving maids of the Qianyuan Hall, we did not live in the same place. As they walked towards the hall, Cui Mei was a little surprised and said, "Zhou Ning, have you moved to the Eastern Hall?"

Hearing this, I smiled slightly at Cuimei and said: "Yes, the Fourth Prince lives in the East Side Hall, and the slaves and maidservants naturally live with the Fourth Prince."

After all, the maids of the Qianyuan Palace lived in the huts of the Xipian Palace, and I was the only one who did not live with them.

When I turned around, my complexion turned cold. I used to be on duty in front of Murong Qingfeng, and I greeted people with such a smile, but at that time, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but now I feel I'm a little empty, I really don't want to greet those people who are full of schemes against me with such smiles.

I was about to go to the East Side Hall, but I passed by the gate of Qianyuan Hall, Xiao Hezi saw me, and said politely: "Miss, are you going back to get ready to rest?"

Hearing this, I smiled and said, "Yes, why is Xiaohezi and father-in-law still on duty at the moment? Didn't the lowly people come to replace you?"

Seeing what I said, Xiao Hezi frowned, "Usually, at this time of weekdays, Xiao Qizi should come to replace the slave. Please, can you do me a favor? Go to the Dongpian Temple and ask, Xiao Qi has gone today. where?"

Hearing this, I looked at the time and agreed to Xiao Hezi.

"In that case, the servant girl will go and take a look on your behalf!"

After finishing speaking, I turned around and walked towards the Dongpian Hall. Along the way, I met some court ladies and eunuchs, and they all took the initiative to salute me. Also, I was serving tea in the Qianyuan Palace, but everyone Enviable post.

I smiled at them as a greeting, and then I continued to walk towards the east side hall. I walked fast this way, and I saw Cuimei after a while. I don't want to talk to her What, in turn slowed down again.

However, just after I slowed down, a figure suddenly appeared behind me. He reached out and held my hand. I turned my head in shock and saw that it was Yu Wenli. Let go of your heart.

Yu Wenli dragged me to a no-man's land, and I think the court ladies and eunuchs around here were probably also distracted by his methods.

"My lord, why are you here?"

I looked at Yu Wenjin with a look of surprise. You know, this is the Qianyuan Hall. In the past, Yuwen Li entered the palace and wanted to come to the Qianyuan Hall the most times, so here, his identity should be the easiest to expose, so he Coming here is also the most dangerous.

Hearing my question, Yu Wenli hugged me in his arms, his chest was warm and made me feel safe.

"Ning'er, this king knows that you have been transferred to the Qianyuan Hall, and he is anxious and angry, and worried that the emperor has impure thoughts about you, but Ning'er, don't be afraid, this king will return to the court in a fair and honest manner tomorrow. But the emperor is afraid that he will not dare to do anything to you in front of this king."

Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him and asked: "Have you fully dealt with the matter in the fief?"

Seeing me asking this question, Yu Wenli immediately smiled and said: "That's natural, after all Zhang Lin was cultivated by this king, and I also transferred your maid Qilan to the fief. I have been by your side for a long time, but my mind is as deep as yours, she went to the fiefdom and brought Zhang Lin a lot of help."

Hearing what Yu Wenli said, I pretended to be angry and said, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying that my mind is also deep?"

As soon as this remark came out, Yuwen Lifang laughed and said: "It is said that it is difficult to raise a woman and a villain in the world. According to this king, you are indeed a little girl who can make Wang Ben difficult!"

Hearing this, I pouted at Yu Wenli immediately and said: "If you don't like it, I'll leave."

I deliberately pushed him away, turned around and was about to leave, but Yu Wenli came from behind and hugged me.

"Ning'er, today the king is looking for you, one is because the king misses you, and the other is that the king has an excellent plan to deal with the queen mother, but I don't know if Ning'er, you can give the king some help?"

Regarding the matter of revenge, I naturally cared a lot in my heart, and I said happily: "What plan?"

After I finished speaking, I deliberately turned my head to look around, although Yu Wenli had already sent those court ladies and eunuchs away, it is inevitable that some fish slipped through the net.

Then Yu Wenli smiled and said: "Ning'er, don't worry, no one will see us!"

Instead, he continued: "My king Ning'er knows that you hate the emperor, so naturally you have to deal with him. This king thinks that both the emperor and the queen dowager are in high positions, and their current relationship is already incompatible, and they have long been entrenched in secret. However, if the struggle between the two of them is turned from the dark to the bright, we can reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

Suddenly hearing what Yu Wenjin said, I pondered a little in my mind, and then I had a plan.

"My lord, if that's the case, I have an idea!"

The Empress Dowager once asked me to poison Yu Wenjin's diet. In fact, I thought about it earlier. What the Empress Dowager did was not only wanting Yu Wenjin's life, but also my life. If so, I'm afraid It is the fourth prince who can only live for the time being. When Yu Wenjin is killed by me, the queen mother in the palace will be alone. At that time, if she wants the fourth prince's life, there are probably thousands of ways.

Immediately I looked at Yu Wenli and said: "Before I came to the Qianyuan Palace to be on duty, the queen mother threatened me with the life of the fourth prince. She gave me a bottle of Crane Crown Red and asked me to put the poison into the emperor's diet." Among them, such opportunities are naturally rare, so why don't I use this poison to make the emperor and the empress dowager turn against each other!"

Hearing what I said, Yu Wenli nodded slightly, "That's fine, but you have to be careful."

Hearing this, we smiled and said: "I have my own measure, but when implementing this plan, please wait a few more days, my lord, I still have something important to do!"

Seeing what I said, Yu Wenli was puzzled and said, "What's the matter?"

We smiled and said: "I assure you, my life will not be in danger, but I still want to solve this matter myself, so the prince will not interfere!"

After talking to Yu Wenli, we parted ways. Naturally, I came here, but Xiao Hezi entrusted me to do things.

Instead, I went to the East Side Hall to find Xiaoqizi.

Coincidentally, a young eunuch was coming out of the Dongpian Hall at this moment, I smiled and walked over and asked, "Dare to ask Eunuch, do you know where Eunuch Xiaoqi is?"

Hearing this, the little eunuch in front of him smiled and said: "A slave is a small flag, what's the matter with a girl looking for a slave?"

This is really a coincidence, and we said again: "Xiaohezi Gonggong saw that you had never passed by, so he asked the servant to come over and ask, now that you are looking at you, you are going to exchange value with Xiaohezi Gonggong, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qizi smiled and said: "The slave misremembered the time today, so I will go and replace Xiao He Zi and father-in-law to come back and rest!"

After I found the little flag, I rushed to the Xibian Hall. My room in the Xibian Hall was closer to the fourth prince's room. Now that I knew that Yu Wenjin was in the Xibian Hall, I didn't go there. He went back to his own house first.

After all, I just moved here yesterday, and I haven't had time to tidy up the house. Now that I have some free time, I will come back naturally.

But I never thought that yesterday, my room was no different from the room I had in Qingyun Palace. When I came in today, I saw a lot of valuable things in my room. It's the maid's room, but it's more like the harem master's room.

I came to the closet and hurriedly opened the lock on the closet. Looking at it, fortunately my things in the closet had not been turned over. I found two boxes at the bottom of the closet. They also contained the things that Yu Wenli and Jun Wuyou had given me.

I know in my heart that it is a crime for a court lady to privately accept gifts from men outside the palace, but thinking about coming to this palace, no one would think of using this to make a fuss against me.

Seeing that all my things were still there, I felt relieved, and after I changed my clothes, I locked the cabinet again.

Now that my house is full of luxury, it makes me a little worried, but if I argue with Yu Wenjin about this kind of thing again, I am afraid it will appear that I am too ignorant. Thinking of this, I gave up asking Yu Wenjin Take back the idea of ​​​​life.

Compared to Yu Wenjin who put me under house arrest in Qingyun Palace before, this is already pretty good.

Just when I was about to come out, suddenly Lan Qiu's voice came from my ear.

"Zhou Ning, are you back?"

At this time, Lan Qiu is not serving the fourth prince, so why come to me?But after all, she and I came out of Qingyun Palace at the same time, and we were both serving Murong Qingfeng. Naturally, the relationship between the maids was extraordinary. I immediately opened the door and looked at Lan Qiu with a smile on my face. .

"Auntie, why did you come to my place?"

Seeing me, Lan Qiu immediately walked up to me and said: "The emperor is eating in the fourth prince's room. We just moved here, and there are not enough people to serve the emperor's meal. I thought about it, so I came to ask you to help gone."

Hearing this, I subconsciously frowned.

"Auntie...you should know that this servant really doesn't want to have too much contact with the emperor..."

I wanted to decline Lan Qiu's request politely, but Lan Qiu also had a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Zhou Ning, aunt knows your intentions, so naturally she won't force you, so aunt will tell you the truth, just now the emperor personally asked me to come over to invite you, if you don't want to go, I will make up an excuse, Send the emperor away."

Hearing this, I looked at Lan Qiu and said immediately: "Auntie, it's too small, if you make up an excuse and someone cares about it, I'm afraid you will say that Auntie is cheating on you, that's all, I don't want Auntie to let you down." If you are in trouble, the servants will go over."

Seeing me like this, Lan Qiu also sighed slightly.

"In the past, when the master was around, she would send you away if she saw something was wrong, but now the master is gone..."

In the middle of speaking, Lan Qiu's voice choked up. Naturally, I was not in a good mood, but Murong Qingfeng's fate was different from mine. She might not have the possibility of being reborn at all.

"Auntie, it is precisely because the master is gone that we should be more honest with each other. Auntie, don't be embarrassed. If something like today happens again in the future, auntie and slave will just say yes."

Seeing what I said, Lan Qiu slightly nodded with red eyes.

When I came to the fourth prince's dormitory, I didn't see the fourth prince. I think he was put to sleep by the wet nurse.

I walked up to Yu Wenjin's side, he was about to eat, when he saw me, a smile appeared on his face.

Yu Wenjin turned to look at Wang Shunxi, saw Wang Shunxi smiled, and walked out.

After a while, only Yu Wenjin and I were left in the room. Immediately, a bad premonition arose in my heart.

Outside the door, Lan Qiu was also blocked by Wang Shunxi from entering.

"Zhou Ning, have you had lunch yet?"

Hearing Yu Wenjin's question, I naturally said truthfully: "Never."

Immediately, Yu Wenjin laughed.

"Sit down too, and have dinner with me."

Hearing this, I immediately fell to my knees in shock, "Your Majesty, my slaves dare not."

Seeing me like this, Yu Wenjin suddenly stretched out his hand towards me, presumably he wanted to help me himself, seeing this, I knelt down and backed away hastily.

"Zhou Ning, I never forced you to sleep with me, it was just a lunch, why did you refuse me?"

Hearing this, I looked up at Yu Wenjin and said, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and your servants are just tea-serving maids in front of your palace, and your servants dare not!"

While I was talking, my body pretended to tremble, but my heart was full of ridicule.

Here, Yu Wenjin also lost his temper.

"I asked you to sit down and have dinner with me, and you disobeyed my order like this. You know, if you make me unhappy like this, I will spread my anger to others!"

Immediately, I was startled, what did Yu Wenjin mean by these words?
I raised my head to look at him, and saw him looking at me seriously, that's all, it's just a lunch, when I was the empress in the past, I often ate with her.

I got up pretending to be scared, and sat opposite Yu Wenjin, and saw that Yu Wenjin looked at me with a slightly gentler look, and then he reached out and picked up some vegetables and put them into an empty bowl, and handed them over to me. came to me.

"I made it for you myself, don't let me eat it."

Seeing such a situation, I had no choice but to accept the bowl handed over by Yu Wenjin.

The dishes in this bowl were actually my favorite back then. I frowned subconsciously, but I had to eat them all.

I was terrified during this lunch, but Yu Wenjin looked satisfied.

After lunch, Yu Wenjin got up and said, "Wang Shunxi!"

Immediately, Wang Shunxi walked in from the outside, "Your Majesty, the servant is here."

Seeing this, Yu Wenjin wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel and said, "Go to the main hall."

After finishing speaking, Wang Shunxi followed Yu Wenjin out, and I naturally knelt down behind Yu Wenjin.

After Yu Wenjin walked away, I was relieved a little bit. At this moment, Lan Qiu also hurried in. As soon as she came in, she walked up to me and looked around to see if I was injured. Fortunately, Yu Wenjin Never made an outrageous move towards me.

"Auntie, the slave is fine, don't worry."

Seeing what I said, Lan Qiu said secretly: "Zhou Ningyi, I think the emperor is really interested in you. In fact, if it wasn't for Prince Li, Zhou Ning would have considered it..."

I naturally understand the meaning of Lan Qiu's words in my heart. If I accept Yu Wenjin and become the concubine of this harem, Lan Qiu will naturally rest assured that I will take care of the fourth prince, and I think Yu Wenjin will do the same.

Immediately I looked at Lan Qiu and said: "Auntie, there are some things that cannot be forced, besides, the servant girl and Prince Li have a long-standing marriage contract, and my aunt has also seen the end of the master, after the master left, the life of the emperor has not changed in any particular way, The emperor is a cold hearted person, does my aunt also hope that one day I will be like the master, when I leave, I will be so miserable?"

As soon as I said this, Lan Qiu immediately sighed.

"I was confused, Zhou Ning, aunt will never say such things to you again."

Hearing this, I smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, it's good for us to raise the fourth prince now. Since the prince is willing to bring the fourth prince to Qianyuan Hall to raise the prince himself, it also shows that the fourth prince is really important in the emperor's heart." important."

Seeing what I said, Lan Qiu also saw it clearly, and then said: "That's true."

This room, Yu Wenjin has already returned to the main hall, so I naturally have to go back to wait on him, so I immediately said: "Auntie, the servants are leaving first, and the fourth prince will trouble you so I must take good care of you!"

Hearing what I said, Lan Qiufang said: "You can rest assured!"

I hurried back to the main hall of the Qianyuan Hall, and when I hurried in, I saw that Cuimei was already on duty, and Yu Wenjin hadn't approved the papers yet, instead he lay on the couch and fell asleep in the morning.

I watched Yu Wenjin take a nap for about an hour, and after he woke up leisurely, Cuimei actively poured a cup of Longjing and handed it over.

This room Murong Yuan came in suddenly from the outside, I was surprised why Murong Yuan came in but didn't inform.

"My minister Murong Yuan has seen the emperor!"

Seeing Murong Yuan, Yu Wenjin said indifferently: "Get flat!"

I saw Murong Yuan walking up to Yu Wenjin's side, and then checked his pulse. At this moment, Wang Shunxi walked up to me and Cuimei and said, "Go outside and wait."

Hearing this, I became more and more curious, but Cuimei seemed to be used to this matter, so she walked out naturally.

Even though I knew that Cui Mei didn't like me very much, I really felt a little strange about this matter, so I asked: "Sister Cui Mei, what's wrong with the emperor, why did Master Murong come to check his pulse and let us go?"

Hearing this, Cui Mei naturally smiled and said: "I don't know, but Lord Murong will come to check the emperor's peace pulse almost every day at this time, I guess the emperor has a noble status, if there is any discomfort in the body, naturally I don't want to Known by us court ladies."

Hearing what Cuimei said, I frowned slightly, is that really the case?

Murong Yuan stayed inside for about half an hour, and this half hour made me feel that something was wrong. If I had asked for peace of mind, Murong Yuan would not have stayed inside for so long without coming out.

Just when my heart was full of doubts, Murong Yuanfang came out, but I could feel that his complexion was a bit unfriendly, and he should be a little tired.

After Murong Yuan came out, he glanced at me slightly, after Murong Yuan walked away, Cui Mei was about to go in, but I looked at Cui Mei and said: "Sister Cui Mei, I'm a little anxious, you should go in and serve the emperor first, I'll come back later."

Hearing this, Cuimei glanced at me, then said: "You can come back early, don't let me be lazy!"

Hearing this, I pretended to be respectful and said: "Sister, don't worry, even if you make me lazy, I won't dare!"

After saying this, I left in a hurry, but naturally I didn't go to the toilet, but walked in the direction where Murong Yuan left. He gave me a look just now, and he should have something to say to me.
