princess

Chapter 44

As soon as Concubine Yao left, the second prince, fourth prince and crown prince came over. As soon as Xiao Yuzuo saw her sister, she frowned and asked, "Why is my sister's complexion so bad again?"

"I was a bit tired just looking at the scenery of the imperial garden, and I will be fine in a while." Xiao Yuanmin said softly, "Little mother Zheng, prepare some fresh tea."

"Yes." Little Madam Zheng retreated after performing the Wanfu salute.

Xiao Yuzuo touched Xiao Yuanmin's hand worriedly, "Mother Zheng, close the window."

"Yes." After Madam Zheng blessed her, she went to close the window, and Xiao Yuzuo asked someone to serve hot jujube tea. Watching Xiao Yuanmin drink it, her face became a little more bloody, and she felt relieved.

The second prince and the fourth prince sat aside, watching the prince busy without making a sound, Xiao Yuanmin's eyes were soft and did not stop him.

Xiao Yuzuo was almost done, so he said to the second prince and the fourth prince with some embarrassment, "My brother was rude just now."

"Where is it, we are very concerned about the body of the eldest sister." The fourth prince said first, and then looked at Xiao Yuanmin, "If there is something missing here, please let someone tell me, and I will find it for my sister."

"Thank you, fourth brother." Xiao Yuanmin smiled, "There is no shortage of things, but the shortcoming is freedom. Every day, whether eating or drinking, people will watch you, and you can't stay outside for a while." After finishing speaking, he puffed his cheeks , with a bit of childishness, "fourth brother help me talk to the mothers."

"That's impossible." The fourth prince laughed, "When my sister is well, I begged my father to take my sister out of the palace to have fun."

"it is good."

The second prince held the tea, took a few sips slowly, and waited for the fourth prince to finish speaking before he said, "The weather has turned cold recently, my sister should stay away from going out."

"Yeah." Xiao Yuanmin took another sip of jujube tea, "I'm afraid that if I lie down again, I'll become more lazy."

The second prince also tried to persuade him, and after hearing Xiao Yuanmin's words, he didn't say any more. He also understood that Xiao Yuanmin had only been ill for a while, and the palace... pursed his lips, and Xiao Chengxuan didn't know what to say. , for this sister, he is jealous and distressed.

"Brother, I heard that you have a newcomer?" Xiao Yuanmin lowered her eyes slightly, and did not look at anyone else. You must know that when she was sick, it was the Empress Dowager, Concubine Lin Gui, and Concubine Shu and Concubine Ning who managed the harem.

As for the court ladies, it was Concubine Lin Gui and Concubine Shu who were in charge, and it was naturally up to these two people to place people in the Eastern Palace.

The fourth prince's mother and concubine is Concubine Shu, and Xiao Yuanmin meant to tell the fourth prince. Although they are just a few humble envoys, everyone in the East Palace knows that everyone in the East Palace knows. After all, the East Palace serves, Most of them served Queen Huiyi, and the rest were arranged by Emperor Xuanhe.

Concubine Lin Gui and Concubine Shu probably didn't expect that Xiao Yuanmin would notice even such an inconspicuous court official, and even made a fuss about it.

It's just that the acne broke out, and who did it has not yet been found out, Xiao Yuanmin cannot be careless.

It took her so long to recover from her illness, and there was also a reason for her constant worry during her illness, as the imperial doctor said, she was too worried.

"I don't want to be clear." Xiao Yuzuo looked at Zhao Mama, "Is there such a thing as Mama?"

"Returning to the prince, there are three rough envoys and one young eunuch." Mother Zhao replied respectfully.

Xiao Yuzuo nodded, looked at Xiao Yuanmin, Xiao Yuanmin smiled slightly, "I remember that the East Palace is not short of people."

"Back to the Eldest Princess, there was a court lady who accidentally spilled water on the ground while watering the flowers, causing two passing court ladies to break one leg and sprain the waist, and the little eunuch disappeared." Zhao Nanny Very clearly explained.

If it was all an accident, Xiao Yuanmin would never believe it. If the maids didn't say anything, the little eunuch disappeared, so one of them disappeared, maybe there were more innocent people somewhere.

These people have all served Empress Huiyi before. It can be said that each of them is different in Xiao Yuanmin's heart. If there is no one, there will be one less. How can she not be angry.

It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Do people in the palace think that the two siblings are easy to bully?Otherwise, the people who had the accident were all those left by Queen Huiyi, while the people sent by Emperor Xuanhe had nothing to do with it.

In fact, these rough envoys, no matter they are really innocent or fake, Xiao Yuanmin has some means to make them disappear silently, but what is the difference between that and Concubine Lin and the others? Although this method was used for self-protection, in Emperor Xuanhe's heart, it was somewhat bad.

It's better to say it now, so that if the words reach the ears of Emperor Xuanhe, those few people will be taken care of by Emperor Xuanhe without Xiao Yuanmin's action. Even whoever sent them in, Emperor Xuanhe will let people go check.

After all, there are too few available people in Xiao Yuanmin's palace, if there are more, there is no need to be so passive.

The fourth prince's complexion changed. What he was worried about now was whether his mother concubine had interfered. If he did, he had to go back quickly and let his concubine clean up his tail. It would be best to get all the clues to Concubine Lin Gui.

I'm afraid it's my eldest sister who is a little dissatisfied with Concubine Lin Gui, otherwise she wouldn't have said this in front of him, but this is a reminder and a warning.

Wei Wei thought for a while, now is not the time to turn his face, even if it is his mother and concubine who is being warned, he can only deal with it with a smile.

After all, the fourth prince had something on his mind, so he said a few more words before leaving first. The second prince said with a smile, "I'm leaving too."

Xiao Yuanmin nodded, "I packed some things and gave them to Concubine Rong. Why don't the second brother take them directly."

"Alright, my sister should rest more." The second prince laughed.

Xiao Yuanmin nodded, asked Nanny Tang to carry the things out, handed them over to the eunuch next to the second prince, and said, "I'm afraid it's not a good season."

This is a reminder, the second prince was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Mother is weak, I think I should advise her to take care of her in the house during this period of time, and not come out except to ask for peace."

Xiao Yuanmin responded, sent the second prince away, and then Xiao Yuzuo said, "Sister, who came to provoke you?"

Xiao Yuanmin didn't want to say it at first, but she thought that she was sick and couldn't protect her younger brother forever, so she told the story of Concubine Yao. Xiao Yuzuo smiled angrily, "This person is really ridiculous, doesn't she know how to face? How do you write the two characters?"

"Okay, I'm not angry anymore." Xiao Yuanmin smiled and comforted, "For the matter of the East Palace, let Zhao Momo and the others be more strict about those people. .”

"I know." Xiao Yuzuo pursed his lips, and said with some embarrassment, "Sister, I used to know that you worked hard, but you have been sick these few days, and I realized that the water in the harem is deeper than I thought."

"If it wasn't for Zhao Mama's reminder, I wouldn't even know there was a change in the palace." Xiao Yuzuo pinched the purse that Xiao Yuanmin embroidered for him, "I'm very useless."

Xiao Yuanmin tapped Xiao Yuzuo's forehead lightly, "What are you talking about, if you know everything, what do you want my sister to do?"

"My sister can live a good life and enjoy the blessings." Xiao Yuzuo replied without thinking.

Xiao Yuanmin paused, stretched out his hand and pinched his brother's face, "Silly brother, sooner or later there will be such a day, when the time comes, my sister will enjoy your blessing, and I don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Yes." Xiao Yuzuo was determined, "I will definitely make my sister the happiest princess."

Xiao Yuanmin's brows and eyes were curved with a smile, "Okay."

"You don't have to worry about Concubine Yao's matter, I'll take care of it." Xiao Yuzuo said after a moment of thought.

"How are you going to deal with it?" Xiao Yuanmin was a little curious. There were a lot of secrets in the harem. Xiao Yuanmin didn't tell Xiao Yuzuo all of them, but more to let Zhang Momo and the others be careful. After all, she didn't want her brother to get involved too much.

"Since it was sent by Yao Guangyao, it is natural for Yao Guangyao to deal with it." Xiao Yuzuo said with a smile, "Don't tell me we need our siblings to deal with the aftermath of what they did?"

Thinking that his younger brother could leave the palace, Xiao Yuanmin nodded, "That's fine."

It's too early to let Concubine Yao fall out of favor. After all, Concubine Yao not only represents herself, but also represents the Yao family. The Yao family is the prince's natal family. Everyone is looking at the attitude of Emperor Xuanhe.

Therefore, both Xiao Yuanmin and Xiao Yuzuo said that Concubine Yao is a fool, as long as the two of them are not out of favor, Concubine Yao will definitely not fall out of favor, maybe not the most favored in the harem, but also one of the best.

After saying a few more words, Xiao Yuzuo left first, asked Xiao Yuanmin to rest earlier, and sent Xiao Yuzuo away. Xiao Yuanmin was a little worried, and understood that Xiao Yuzuo was afraid that he was going to see his father, and what he was talking about was the entrance of the East Palace.

"Princess, the prince has grown up." Madam Zheng knelt on the ground and helped Xiao Yuanmin change her sleeping shoes, "At this age, the princess is already in charge."

"I know." Xiao Yuanmin sighed, "After this banquet is over, let's keep a low profile. I won't get involved in the harem matter anymore." Eyes narrowed, "I'm afraid it won't be good if I get involved. Madam Zheng will send some pastries to Concubine Ning, saying that she is thanking her for her care during this period of time."

"Yes." Mother Zheng smiled, "I don't know what the princess wants to give?"

"Pine nut cake." Xiao Yuanmin said after a moment of thought.

After Madam Zheng saluted, she went out to prepare. Madam Tang brought hot water to help Xiao Yuanmin burn her feet, and said, "The princess is in good shape, so don't work too hard."

"I know." Xiao Yuanmin responded, "I'm just afraid that in the past few years, no one will have a happy life."

Nanny Tang smiled and didn't say a word. They just locked themselves up and lived a small life. Those people wished that the princess would stay out of business, and who really dared to provoke the princess.

"By the way, what has Second Sister been up to lately?" Xiao Yuanmin frowned and asked.

"The second princess is practicing calligraphy recently." Mother Tang said softly, "It's the thin gold body."

That's what Emperor Xuanhe is best at. In order to please Emperor Xuanhe, Xiao Yuanmin made great efforts to contact him, "I remember that I still have a lot of copybooks, and I will send some to my second sister."

Mother Tang complied, fearing that the second princess would not only not be grateful, but would also hate the princess to death, thinking that the princess was showing off, the temper of the second princess... I am afraid that she will cry again, and some Concubine Lin will have a headache .
