General’s Tempest White Moonlight (Rebirth) - Chapter 33
“Manny, what do you think of?”
Liu Mingyue looked at Concubine Liu, but Concubine Liu stopped talking.
She couldn’t be sure, after all, it was all that happened seven years ago, and all the thoughts at this moment were just guesses.
Liu Mingyue had not dealt with Prince Rong. Concubine Liu was worried that she would say something about the past and what she would do, so she endured it and shook her head.
Liu Mingyue wanted to ask more, but Liu Guifei took the lead and stopped Liu Mingyue’s words.
“Well, don’t mention Prince Rong anymore. You have already retired from him, and you know that he has a narrow temperament, so stay away from him. Also, the Imperial Guard next to the Fifth Prince, you’d better pay attention to keeping some distance. Don’t hold the handle for someone who is interested. What kind of identity he is, is not worthy of you.”
Liu Mingyue raised her head in confusion, who was Concubine Liu talking about?
“Why? Still pretending to be stupid with this palace?” Liu Guifei stretched out her hand and nodded Liu Mingyue’s forehead, “Which one of the people you are waiting for is not assigned by this palace, and what can I hide from this palace? Today’s charcoal fire is still a matter of fact. When he is thinking about your safety, this palace will not ask him to settle accounts for the time being. If there is another time—”
Liu Mingyue finally understands now that Concubine Liu Gui is talking about Pei Shen.
“Manny!”
Liu Mingyue almost angered herself and interrupted Concubine Liu Gui. How could she misunderstand her and Pei Shen?
She can be as alienated as she can on weekdays!
“You think too much, I and Pei Shen…no, there is absolutely nothing to do with the guard Pei!” Liu Mingyue hurriedly defended, but he quickly blurted out Pei Shen’s name. He suddenly felt bad, and when he looked up, he saw it. Concubine Liu Gui looked at herself more suspiciously.
Yes, now I have to explain to the imperial concubine, how could she even know the name of the imperial guard.
“Do you remember that Xiaoliu fell into the water? At that time, the guard Pei was still next to Young Master Yun. It was he who saved Xiaoliu.”
Liu Mingyue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself: “Later, I went to the Zhennan Grand General’s Mansion with my third aunt to give a thank you gift. I happened to hear the general call him, so I knew his name.”
Concubine Liu Gui didn’t speak, just stretched out her slender fingertips dyed with Kou’s red nails and lightly lit the table one after another.
Her phoenix eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she still had some unbelief on her face.
After all, I know that Gui knows, a good daughter’s house, who would blurt out the name of a man.
Liu Mingyue is really hard to tell. She is so familiar with Pei Shen’s name, not because she is reading him, but because she has always met since she was born again.
Fortunately, Concubine Liu Gui only intended to beat her on this matter. After all, Pei Shen took off her shoes. Liu Mingyue did not act out of the ordinary.
After repeated exhortations, Concubine Liu finally let Liu Mingyue go back.
Liu Mingyue responded one by one, and he was relieved when he got out of the hall door, pushing the wheelchair back to his bedroom.
Being misunderstood by the imperial concubine, she and Pei Shen really surprised her. Once interrupted by this incident, she could not continue to ask Concubine Liu about Prince Rong.
But this does not mean that she just gave up.
Things were obviously strange, but Liu Guifei refused to say, so she should ask her to check the head office.
Only Liu Mingyue thought for a while and found that Hanshuang was not there, and the palace people around her were all from Concubine Liu. After thinking about it, she couldn’t find a reliable person to help her do this.
Forget it, wait for a while, and when you can go back to the palace, please ask Uncle Liu to send someone to check.
What Liu Mingyue didn’t know was that after she returned, Concubine Liu Gui quietly summoned a court lady.
“Do you remember Nishikori?”
Hearing Concubine Liu Gui suddenly mentioning the name of her former friend, the body of the maid underneath became apparently stiff.
Concubine Liu Gui sighed: “You two have followed this palace since you entered the palace. The palace people who were going to be killed by the rod back then only protected you from the palace.” Only after that incident , Concubine Liu Gui transferred her away to avoid being discovered and losing her life.
“How exactly Nishikori died back then, and what does it have to do with Prince Sakae? If you think about it carefully, you can tell this palace in every detail.”
The snow in the capital is getting bigger and bigger, and when it stops, it will be within a few days of the New Year’s Pass.
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the Imperial College also has a holiday and has a few days off.
The eldest lady knew that in the future, she would send a letter in, asking Liu Mingyue and Jue brother if they wanted to stay in the house for a few days, saying that the old lady missed them very much.
Liu Mingyue touched this thin piece of paper, and realized that Mrs. Da wanted to see Brother Jue. She and Jue have lived in the palace for half a year, so she should go back and take a look.
After reporting to Liu Guifei, she packed her luggage for two full days.
One is that her winter clothes are thick and packed with a few boxes, and the other is that Brother Jue can’t do his homework, so there are a lot of books and brochures with him.
Third, the emperor heard that they were going back to the mansion for the New Year, and together with Concubine Liu Gui, gave a lot of rewards, and let Liu Mingyue take them back to the Mansion of Chengde. It was a good meal to clean up.
The only unhappy person is the fifth prince.
“Since you think you have taken good care of me, why don’t you let me go to Chengde Hou’s Mansion with you, just giving these rewards is nothing.”
Since the fifth prince moved to Changli Palace, he was happier with his brother Jue.
Even facing Liu Mingyue, she was very close.
Only he is the prince, and he cannot live outside the palace without the royal mansion. When they went back, only he and the concubine were in the Changli Palace.
“His Royal Highness is not angry. Brother Jue and I have been away from home for half a year. This time I just went back to visit the grandmother and elders in the mansion. After the Chinese New Year is over, I will be back on the sixth day of the first lunar month at the latest.”
Within ten days, Liu Mingyue knew that the fifth prince was deserted, and did not plan to stay in the house for too long.
“The third day, at most the third day of the first month, you will all come back.”
The five princes counted the days, but couldn’t wait too long.
With a stern face, Liu Mingyue couldn’t help laughing: “Okay, then the third year.”
The fifth prince is now sticking to her and brother Jue, which is a good thing. After the Chinese New Year is over, there are only two years left before his succession.
As long as the past two years pass safely and there are five princes, the Marquis of Chengde will definitely not be defeated like in the previous life.
Liu Mingyue and Brother Jue returned to the manor with a wagon full of things, and even the maidservants who were waiting next to them were arranged by Concubine Liu, and several came back together.
So the people in the mansion met the four palace ladies, and Liu Mingyue and Jue, who had been away from home for half a year.
“Mother! Grandmother!” Brother Jue fell into the arms of the old lady.
Liu Mingyue also sat in a wheelchair and let the old lady hold her hand.
Hanshuang looked forward to the girl for a long time, but now that she sees it, she is not embarrassed to step forward when she sees a maid waiting by her side.
It was Liu Mingyue who greeted her, and then moved to her.
“Girl, these are the accounts.” Hanshuang handed over a few thick books, and after Liu Mingyue entered the palace, she was idle.
Steward Liu liked her temperament, and when she saw that she was good at doing things, she asked someone to teach her how to manage the accounts. Now the shops in the treasure street where Erfang paid Liu Mingyue are all in charge of inspections by Hanshuang.
Liu Mingyue flipped through the accounts, and it was a loss for the first two months.
She knew that although her second uncle had promised well, it was impossible not to stumble at all.
Fortunately, it started to make a profit in the next few months. In just six months, it made a lot of money.
“Unexpectedly, you have this talent.” Liu Mingyue smiled and praised Hanshuang a few words, but did not tell her that she was asked to take care of the accounts because she had mentioned a few words with Steward Liu.
In order to make her life better, Hanshuang tried her best to make money. She knew that she had talent in this area, how could she bury it in this life.
Not long after Liu Mingyue came back, Chengdehou, who had been away from Beijing, and her third uncle also returned.
Brother Jue and the younger sisters of Sanfang were very happy, and although Liu Mingyue didn’t really like this father, as long as Erfang was okay, he would still be able to maintain a happy face.
On New Year’s Eve, the family gathered for a New Year’s Eve dinner. Just after the banquet was over, Liu Mingjun in the second room wanted to go to Liu Mingyue. I heard that she came back from the palace and brought a lot of things to the three girls in Sanfang, but she didn’t give anything to herself.
Only before she had time to put down her chopsticks and went to find Liu Mingyue, she heard steward Liu come to report that it was the fifth prince who invited Brother Jue to watch the fireworks together with the eldest girl.
Every year on the 30th of the New Year, when the new year is handed over, the bells of the Chong’an Temple in the suburbs of Beijing will ring continuously, and then fireworks will be set off in front of the tower, and the emperor will stand on the tower with the harem. The concubine, together with the civil and military officials, celebrated the coming of the new year with Wanmin.
Liu Mingyue glanced at her grandmother, and the old lady naturally knew how much Liu Mingyue had done to make good friends with the five princes.
She lovingly patted the back of Liu Mingyue’s hand and asked her to take her brother Jue to play together.
When Liu Mingyue arrived in front of the Chengde Hou Mansion with his brother Jue in a wheelchair, she saw the five princes who were tightly bound.
And, Pei Shen standing beside him.
Liu Mingyue has never seen him since he was “beaten” by Concubine Liu before.
Today, it was Hanshuang who served the two court ladies by Liu Mingyue’s side. She naturally remembered Pei Shen, but she didn’t expect that after so long, this man would appear next to the girl in another identity.
Liu Mingyue felt Hanshuang’s nervousness and sighed: “Don’t worry, I’m not targeting him that much now.” At best, she ignored her.
Hanshuang breathed a sigh of relief, and pushed the girl forward, walking with His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince and Brother Jue in the mansion.
Just waiting for a group of people to walk down the street, there was a flow of people, the man actually walked a few steps slowly until it was level with the girl’s position.
Hanshuang was about to sigh with a sigh of relief, pushing Liu Mingyue forward, but was held down by the man’s wheelchair.
Was nailed to the spot in an instant.
“Are you Prince Zha Rong.”
Pei Shen said lightly, but Liu Mingyue suddenly raised her head, how did he know!
“Let the people in your house not check, or they will be discovered by Prince Rong sooner or later.” Pei Shen did not say that he had swept their tails several times for them. After all, these people were not professional, and they showed too many feet when following them.
“Don’t worry about it,” Liu Mingyue said coldly.
Hanshuang stood on one side in a cold sweat. Is this what the girl said was not targeted? She still has great opinions on how she looks.
“I’m also investigating, you can ask me what you want to know, without taking risks with Chengde Hou’s Mansion.” Pei Shen’s eyes darkened. He actually wanted to know why Liu Mingyue reacted so greatly that day.
I just didn’t expect that I really found out a lot of tricks.
