Secret agent crossing: Overbearing prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 119

"It's okay, I'll look for the miss." Liu Mingxu plunged into the water, even though it was a summer night, the water in the Yu River was still a bit cool, Liu Mingxu groped in the water, taking a deep breath from time to time to go to the bottom to look for it.

Song Sicen watched coldly from the shore, like a delicate puppet.

"Miss, why did you come here, ah, who is in the river?" Huancai ran over to support Song Sicen in time, and when he saw Liu Mingxu thumping in the river, he twitched the corners of his mouth and stood aside, holding back a smile.

"I'm not feeling well, you stay here and watch." Song Sicen saw her coming and left directly.

Poor Liu Mingxu struggled in the water for a long time, finally found the jade pendant stuck in the mud, happily picked it up and shouted to the people on the bank: "Miss, but this one?"

Huancai smiled and said: "It's this one, Mr. Liu, come up quickly, the water is cold, be careful of catching cold, my lady will be very sorry."

Liu Mingxu saw that Song Sicen had disappeared, and there was only one maid standing here, and asked in a murmur, "Where did Miss Song go?"

Huancai said: "My young lady is weak, she just recovered from her illness a few days ago, and now the cold wind is blowing and she feels uncomfortable, so I'll go back to the Nuan Pavilion first."

Liu Mingxu climbed ashore, nodded repeatedly and said: "Miss Song is indeed recovering from a serious illness and needs to be more careful, then please send the jade pendant back, and I'm going to change my clothes too."

Huancai nodded, took the jade pendant and called out, "The new uncle has a heart, this is the miss's favorite jade pendant." After speaking, she smiled playfully, turned around and ran away,

When Liu Mingxu heard her call new aunt, he smiled unconsciously, turned around and went to change clothes.

"Miss, your jade pendant." Huancai returned to the Nuan Pavilion, and carefully handed the jade pendant to Song Sicen. When Song Sicen saw the jade pendant, disgust flashed in her eyes. She picked up the cup and said lightly: "I reward you, keep it."

"Hmph, isn't it just that she looks more beautiful? What's there to be proud of? I, Wang Yuefu, look down on such a woman the most when I steal someone's husband." Someone's words fell into Song Sicen's ears. She frowned slightly and looked up. looked directly at the past.

A slightly plump woman was sitting with four other ladies from the official family. Wang Yuefu felt uncomfortable when she saw Song Sicen looking up at her, but then she thought of Du Ruolian who had retired, and straightened her body unwilling to show weakness Look at her.

"The meat quality of today's Qianjin Ding is a bit hard. Presumably that pig was howling a lot during its lifetime. The meat quality of the whole body of the pig has become very tight, and it makes your teeth grit when you eat it." Song Sicen raised his voice and said.

Huancai smiled, "Aren't these pigs just eating? Why are they so leisurely and elegant?"

"It's not uncommon for pigs to squawk. They can't sing the oriole's emphasis even if they sing with a rough voice. If they squawk or not, they will still be eaten, but who cares about that? Pigs don't know." Song Sicen smiled, stood up and said, "Let's It's time to go, it's too noisy in here."

Huancai immediately helped Song Sicen to leave.

The few remaining people looked at each other, and a young lady asked hesitantly: "What did she just say? Why do I feel weird?"

"Isn't it just that I dislike the toughness of the meat, and I don't know how her family was spoiled and spoiled. She dared to dislike the imperial banquet. She really has no dignity." Wang Yuefu snorted, and she refused to admit that she thought the daughter's diced meat was very good. eat it.

"Hehe." There was a burst of laughter, and Wang Yuefu felt that something was wrong, so she turned around and shouted angrily, "Who is laughing?"

I saw a court lady standing there, and then I took a closer look, isn't that the Queen's confidant, the red leaf girl who is very popular in the palace now?Wang Yuefu laughed quickly: "So it's Miss Hongye, what's the matter with Miss Hongye coming here?"

"I'm just here to take a look. The empress is worried that the ladies are not having a good time, so let me see if there is anything I can do to help." Mo Qingli said with a smile.

Wang Yuefu quickly said: "The things in the palace are well prepared, and we all feel the deep affection and friendship of the empress to the prince and the concubine, but just now Miss Song's family really went too far. hard."

Mo Qingli smiled, "I heard this when I first came in, but I'm afraid Ms. Song didn't dislike the hard meat of the imperial banquet, but thought it was too noisy here, and the slaves left."

Wang Yuefu wondered, "It's too noisy. It's very noisy here, but what does it have to do with pork?"

"Ah, she said we are pigs." A lady turned pale and said, "Why is this Miss Song so rude?"

"Sister, what are you laughing at? What's the good thing? Tell me and let me laugh along with you." Xing'an had been following her all night, and it was rare to see her smile so beautifully. It's easy.

Mo Qingli said: "I just entered the Nuan Pavilion to make money. Miss Wang of the Hanlin family was engaged to Miss Song of the Liu family because of Miss Du's dissatisfaction with the divorce of the eldest son of Liu Xueshi in Shangshufu. Even if you can’t react, it’s really fun.”

Xing'an chuckled, "My sister is smart, those young ladies can't tell, but my sister knows the meaning when she hears it."

Mo Qingli patted him and said: "You glib, hurry up and ask for some reward from the prince, what's the point of following me."

Xing'an cried out in his heart, if I don't see that the lord is interested in you again, my eyesight of serving the imperial court for so many years will be fed to the dog.Thinking so, he had to continue to smile, "Following my sister is much more interesting than asking for rewards. The pair of beauty bottles that were broken last time alone are enough rewards for several years. I'm not stupid, of course Follow your sister to have a future."

"How many days of future can I have?" Mo Qingli looked at the brightly lit hall in the distance. The cool wind blew by, and she was a little weak. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times. There was a heavy stroke on the handkerchief, she was startled, the handkerchief in her hand was blown away by the wind for a moment, fell into the far away Yu River, and went down with the water.

Seeing the veil falling into the water, Xing'an rushed to fish it out, Mo Qingli hurriedly stopped him and said, "What's the matter?

"Sister Hongye, the empress is passing you on." The little maid in the Queen's Palace ran over and said in a hurry, and Mo Qingli followed.

The grand ceremony last night was too lively, and it was still bustling with people in the second half of the night. Mo Zhiyan was kept in the house, but the queen ordered her to take care of her in the palace without going out, so she had nothing to do Participating in Duan Rujin's big ceremony, not participating in the big ceremony is the next best thing. The limelight in the palace has changed, and the empress is respected again, which really makes her unable to swallow this breath.

"This custard is completely cold. How do you do things? You can't even deliver a meal." Mo Zhiyan scooped up a spoonful of the custard that had just been delivered. The little maid hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Pearl knew that she was annoyed that the palace lady was beaming and talking about the reward she got yesterday when she was on duty, so she took advantage of the problem and immediately stepped forward and scolded: "Blind little hoof, it's almost as good as it is, and if you don't give it well, you only want to pay for it." Thinking of crawling outside, but not looking at how many eyes and ears I have grown, and then being so negligent and directly dragging you to hard labor, let you go crazy here."

The little maid was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Seeing Pearl scolding, Mo Zhiyan maintained her decency, her anger subsided a little, and said indifferently: "Let's have a better memory in the future, it's more important to do what you have in hand."

Pearl shouted: "Hurry up and clean up the bottom."

The little maid hurriedly picked up the broken spoon, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the splashed custard.

Mo Zhiyan straightened his expression, took a few glances and said, "Your handkerchief is really unique, are the handkerchiefs given to maids by the House of Internal Affairs so good?"

The little maid hurriedly and carefully replied: "Mother, this servant fished it from the Yu River last night, it was stained with dirt, and it seemed that some noble lady in the palace didn't want it, so the servant picked it up and washed it. "

Pearl was annoyed, she stepped forward and slapped her across the face and scolded: "You don't want to open your eyes. Anything thrown by others is good. You can't even pick up the shabby clothes and rotten shoes they throw away. Go out and embarrass us. If you are doing hard labor, I will kill you once and for all." He said and beat the little palace lady several times.

"Stop." Mo Zhiyan yelled, "I haven't spoken yet, so what's your turn to interrupt?"

Pearl's complexion changed when she heard the words, and she quickly retreated.

Mo Zhiyan looked at the little maid who was sobbing and crying after being beaten, and slowly smiled, "Where did you pick up this handkerchief?"

The little maid cried and said, "It's at the cross bridge in the lower corridor of the Yuhe River. Because there are a lot of reeds growing, the reeds are hooked, so the maidservant saw it."

The Xialang Cross Bridge is still in the harem, and the water flows from east to west, which means that the place where the handkerchief is thrown is even more inside the harem.Mo Zhiyan curled her lips slightly, "Good boy, tell me again, what was on this handkerchief when you picked it up?"

The little maid replied: "There is a trace of blood, but it is almost washed away by the water, there is mud, and there are some gray stains."

Mo Zhiyan smiled when she heard the words, "I know who this veil belongs to, and I want to return it for someone else, so you can give this veil to Bengong, Pearl, take two Tianluosi handkerchiefs and give them to me." She is considered to have received this veil, and in the future, she has accepted the kindness of others, and I will definitely reward you a lot, but at this moment, don't tell others, just say that I am happy to reward you, and don't leak the news, otherwise, I will give you a reward. I won't forgive you."

The little maid kept saying she didn't dare.

After getting the veil, Mo Zhiyan ordered the pearls to be cleaned and dried, and then spread on the table.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this veil?" Although Pearl was reprimanded, she also knew that it was Mo Zhiyan's effort to save face, and after dismissing the little maid, she immediately stepped forward and asked cautiously.

Mo Zhiyan looked at the pattern on the handkerchief, and a strange smile curled up on the corner of her lips, "This handkerchief belongs to Concubine Mo."

Pearl took a deep breath, "Isn't Concubine Mo dead? The handkerchief is still there. Could it be that someone still keeps the handkerchief that Concubine Mo gave you?"
