Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 94
Suddenly, there was a mysterious young lady in the Qing Palace, which naturally aroused everyone’s curiosity. It is a pity that Jiang Xiaolou is a low-key person. He only lives in Fangcao Pavilion where Li Xuening once lived. He closes the door every day and concentrates like an ordinary lady.
At night, a wisp of breeze flowed out between the windows and doors, and the bead curtain hanging in front of the sandalwood bed gently flicked. Jiang Xiaolou raised his head when he heard the sound, put down the pen in his hand, and said: “Please come in. ”
Princess Qing pushed in with a smile on her face: “Still reading, it’s so late.”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled and stood up to greet: “Isn’t the princess still resting?”
When Princess Qing came over, she suddenly saw some paper corners exposed under the inkstone, and she was slightly startled. It was actually a piece of plain paper. The plain paper was densely packed with beautiful fonts: “This is—”
There was a smile on Jiang Xiaolou’s lips, but his expression calmly: “This is the people Xue Ning came into contact with after entering the palace, what happened, and daily life.”
“But you have never gone out since entering the house!” The princess couldn’t help being surprised.
“There are many things that are inconvenient for me to come forward. The news was inquired by Xiaodie. She has a lively temperament and is good at communication. When others see me, she dare not speak easily, but she can tell a little bit of news. It’s very beneficial to get up.”
Jiang Xiaolou’s expression was like water, and his tone was calm, giving people a faint sense of peace of mind. The princess nodded gently: “You are right.”
Outside the window, a garden of peony is quietly stretching its figure, quietly blooming in the garden with a lifetime of glory and wealth. In the darkness, Chu Han was standing against the wall, silently guarding under the window, his hands always subconsciously stopped on the hilt of his waist, his expression alert.
In the room, the princess took a plain paper and looked at it carefully, and said in deep thought: “Jasmine, Lanzhi, Xiaotang, and Xiaozhu are all maidservants close to Xueer. After Xueer’s accident, I fell ill because of the irritation she couldn’t bear. When I woke up, Jasmine had been redeemed by her brother and went back to Jiangzhou. Lan Zhi fell into the water and drowned. Xiaotang left the house to marry after her parents reported the old princess, but only one bamboo was still in the palace. .”
“Jiangzhou has long mountains and rivers, nowhere to be found. Only Xiaotang or Xiaozhu can be found—”
“No, I have sent someone to find Xiaotang. She went to the Hot Spring Villa to prepare according to the rules. Who knows that she waited and waited but didn’t see the Royal Palace carriage. Later, she learned that Xueer suddenly became ill and died in the middle of the journey. At that time, those who accompanied Xue’er should be Jasmine who was walking away, Lan Zhi who died, and Xiao Zhu.”
“Where is Xiaozhu now?” Jiang Xiaolou vaguely felt that this matter was strange, and his face remained calm.
The princess’s eyes were drooping, seemingly thoughtful: “When Xueer entered the mansion, the old princess called a second-class girl next to her and gave her a mention on the spot. Later, the princess asked her about her death. Meaning, this girl said she was still willing to go back, and now she is with the old princess.”
Jiang Xiaolou sighed, “In that case, she is the only witness.”
Concubine Qing was startled, with a slight hesitation on her face: “After all, she is the face-to-face girl by the old concubine, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to ask for it.”
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes were bright, and his voice was soft and mellow: “Wang Hao, you can come to the dark if you know you can’t do it, and you can come to the soft if you don’t know it, but you need a reasonable excuse.”
The princess was asking for an excuse when she suddenly heard Xiaodie knock on the door of the room, Jiang Xiaolou asked, “What’s the matter?”
It was not Xiaodie’s voice that answered, but a timid but feminine female voice: “Miss Jiang, I am He Lianhui.”
The princess was startled and subconsciously said, “Is it Hui’er? Come in.”
Fluttershy led a beautiful woman in. She was only fifteen or six years old, her brows were filled with daisies, her eyes were full, and the weather didn’t cool and she was wearing a thick fashion, a state of invincibility emerged spontaneously. . Taking off the big buckle, a long skirt of ice lotus color is tightly inside, and it is even more obvious that the waist is not full, and the lotus step is gently walking, like ice yarn falling from a jade tree. The beauty of the original cowardly and weak has been transformed into a romantic, charming, incomparable, it is the Yunzhu Princess He Lianhui of the palace.
He Lianhui was born by the singer, because her biological mother was humble, so she was raised by the princess. Only when she was born, she stayed in the birth mother’s womb for too long and was born with insufficient health. At this moment, she looked at Princess Qing and saluted gently: “I have seen my mother.”
Princess Qing smiled slightly and beckoned her to come over: “Deeply revealing and coming out quietly, the condition should get worse when I look back.”
“I am–” He Lianhui raised her eyes to Jiang Xiaolou, her misty eyes were vast and sentimental, but she wanted to talk.
He Lianhui is born with asthma, so she usually doesn’t leave her yard. Choosing this hour to see Jiang Xiaolou today is really suspicious. Jiang Xiao didn’t show any expression on the floor, and said with a chuckle: “It turns out that it is Princess Yunzhu. I don’t know what to do to bother you to run this trip yourself…”
He Lianhui’s eyes moved slightly, and her tone was particularly timid: “Miss Jiang, I can’t sleep in these few days. I think of an important matter, but I am afraid that I am too abrupt to guess casually. I just prepared to report to my mother and concubine. Said she came here, and then came to visit. It is rude to come to disturb you at this hour, please forgive me.”
She spoke very softly, her soft voice seemed to be under her tongue, and the wind disappeared.
Jiang Xiaolou raised his eyebrows lightly with a gentle expression: “Is there something, but it’s okay to say.”
He Lianhui Congshanru said: “Second sister died suddenly, I have always been suspicious, but there is no evidence, I dare not speak nonsense. I heard that Miss Jiang is also suspicious of this matter, I thought about it, if you want to investigate, you must get evidence Let’s start. All the maidservants who were serving the second sister died or were scattered, and there was nowhere to look for them, but one person was still in the house.” She said that her throat seemed to be dry, and she coughed slightly.
Princess Qing smiled unconsciously: “Look at you, you are so well thought out. We have already thought of this.”
With a surprised look on He Lianhui’s face, Xuan even looked into Jiang Xiaolou’s clear eyes: “Oh, in this way, I am troubled.”
Princess Qing looked at her with affection and affection: “No, you are all about your second sister. I am grateful that you are too late, so how can you blame you for trouble? What a silly boy.”
He Lianhui just smiled shyly, looking infinitely sullen: “Second sister has had a tragic life since she was a child, and it was so easy to reunite with us, but her mother must be very sad. I hope the truth will come to light one day, two It’s not in vain for my sister to be able to vindicate her.”
There is no special expression on Jiang Xiaolou. She has a gentle appearance, but she is the most hard-hearted. No matter how warm she is, she can’t be moved. However, Princess Qing, who was always questioned by everyone on weekdays, was moved by these few words so that her eyes were slightly wet. When He Lianhui got up to say goodbye, she personally got up and put the big banquet on her: “It’s cold, go home. Well, the empress who entered the palace last time gave me a snow ganoderma lucidum, and I will ask the girl to pick it from me tomorrow.”
He Lianhui gently shook the hand of the princess, but when she left, her eyes swept across the room inadvertently. I saw rare and interesting clothes scattered all around; hollowed out gold tripods, surrounded by incense; the drape in front of the bed was drooping, the curtain and tassels slightly flicked; the smooth porcelain pillows were lying on the headboard of the bed, and the beautiful dresses were neatly stacked on the pillows. Pan… She sighed softly: “It’s exactly the same as the second sister when she was alive…” She turned around and leaned on the handmaid’s footsteps and walked down to the embroidery building.
Jiang Xiaolou stood at the window and watched her leave. The red lantern was especially conspicuous in the dark night. A gust of wind brought the flames scorching and flying, and the maid hurriedly covered the lantern mouth with her hands for fear of being blown out by the wind.
Seeing that Jiang Xiaolou looked calm, the princess laughed lightly: “Hui’er’s biological mother is not high in status, and she has been bullied in the house, so I put her under her knees. She has always been respectful and filial to me, Xue Xue When the son comes back, the sisters are in harmony and the relationship is better.”
Are you afraid of doubting Helianhui… Jiang Xiaolou’s long eyelashes blinked and smiled unconsciously: “Who the princess believes, I naturally believe it. It’s just that, the fewer people who know, the safer. ”
Princess Qing nodded naturally and said: “Okay, I will listen to you.”
Jiang Xiaolou pondered for a moment, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: “I have considered, since the cause of Xue Ning’s death is doubtful, should we ask a mage to do the land and water dojo, so that we can save the dead.”
The princess was completely stunned, water and land dojo? ! Why did Jiang Xiaolou suddenly think of this…
Early the next morning, Princess Qing brought Jiang Xiaolou to greet the old Princess. Jiang Xiaolou’s face is clear and beautiful, and he looks forward to brilliance. When he walks, his five-color neon clothes are like flowing clouds, leaving amber lights like a frightening hungry, attracting countless people quietly peeping and talking along the way. When she stopped and looked back, those people were either hidden in the bushes or in the rockery, leaving only a pair of eyes and a few quarrels.
Entering the house, the concubine Shun was also there, and she was introducing a fan to the old concubine. Seeing them coming in, the concubine along the side smiled unconsciously: “I was going to see the princess. You see, this fan was sent to Beijing from Qingzhou just now. I got three, and the princess should choose one too.”
The Qingzhou fan is made of silk gauze. Because it is like a bright moon, it is also called Tuan Fan. The fan in the hand of the concubine along the side, fanned the woman’s apricot pollen noodles, with willow leaf bowed eyebrows, leaning against the begonia flowers and sleeping soundly, the composition is very exquisite and gorgeous, and it also has a light fragrance. Princess Qing raised her chin coldly: “No, I have something to ask my mother.”
The old princess was leaning on a large pillow of rich and honorable flowers. At this moment, she turned slightly to the side. The servant **** the left immediately held the spittoon, she cleared her throat, and the servant **** the right quickly covered her mouth by handing her a silk paw. The old princess didn’t raise her eyelids, so she said unhappily, “What’s the matter?”
Princess Qing behaved very respectfully and saluted: “Today I came to ask my mother for something. You know, Xueer is so young that she will die of jade, and she will be a lonely ghost in Huangquan. It’s uncomfortable. Wanting to do a memorial service for her is all about our mother and daughter’s affection. I specially came to ask my mother for permission.”
After hearing the words, the concubine couldn’t help but lifted her face slightly and stared at Princess Qing thoughtfully.
The old princess looked calm, the beads in her hands were turning non-stop, and she slowly said: “This child will not be easy to walk in this world. It’s okay to supervise her for a while. It’s just that I have a sentence, you must be jailed. Keep in mind. People are gone, everything is empty. If you have time to think about it, it’s better to live your own life, understand?”
Princess Qing’s eyes flickered, and her tone was respectful: “Yes, mother, I understand. It’s just…”
The old princess looked at her with cold eyes and raised her eyebrows slightly: “But what?”
Princess Qing said in embarrassment: “There are many people and many things. The people in my place don’t understand the rules and are afraid of making mistakes, so I begged my mother for mercy and temporarily seconded the maid to me.”
The old princess paused briefly: “Who do you want to borrow?”
Princess Qing’s gaze patrolled for a while among the dozen or so servant girls beside the old princess, and finally pointed to a servant girl in Tsing Yi and said: “It’s Xiaozhu, I wonder if my mother can cut love?”
Concubine Shun’s eyes slightly narrowed, and his gaze swept across the surprised Xiaozhu’s face. The extraordinarily beautiful face inadvertently revealed three points of sharpness.
The old princess frowned slightly: “Why borrow Xiaozhu?”
Princess Qing smiled and said: “Because Xiaozhu once served Xueer and knows her heart best. The wizard also said that there must be old people whom Xueer served to lead the way…so I hope my mother can lend her to me. .”
This is true. Xiao Zhu has taken care of Li Xuening after all, so he should send her off. If the princess can accept the fact that her daughter has died from now on, it doesn’t matter if the girl gives it to her. The old princess didn’t even think about it, and said in a relaxed tone: “Then let Xiaozhu go with you.”
“Thank you mother, I will definitely send her back to you in seven days.” Princess Qing smiled and appeared contented.
From the beginning to Weijiang Xiaolou did not say a word, like a foil in this luxurious house, although it is pleasing to the eye, it is of little use. But the concubine Shun’s eyes kept rolling on her, as if to see her true intentions through her smiling gentle appearance.
Under the appointment of the old princess, Xiaozhu went back with princess Qing on the spot.
Entering the door, Princess Qing sat down, picked up a cup of celadon tea, but didn’t drink it. She just said kindly, “Xiao Zhu, Xue Er was always served by you in the past. I know you are very dedicated and sensible. I said that I like you very much, and that I will let you dowry in the future.”
Li Xuening is indeed a benevolent and generous master, not only has no pretensions, but is extremely kind to the next person. Xiaozhu lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows to pleasing his eyes: “Thank you for the pity of the princess. The slave and maid also hope to be able to serve the princess for a lifetime, but unfortunately there is no such fate.”
Her eyebrows were slightly frowned and her eyes were filled with tears. Seeing her sorrowful look, Princess Qing sneered in her heart, but her face was even more gentle and said, “That’s right, it’s my daughter who has no such blessing. Come, get up, Come to me.”
Upon hearing this, Xiaozhu quickly stood up and walked to the princess.
Princess Qing looked at her left and right, her expression extremely peaceful, but there was a faint pulsating flame in the tranquility, which made people frightened.
Xiao Zhu was a little uneasy and said: “Wang Hao, I don’t know what to order?”
Princess Qing glanced at Jiang Xiaolou. Jiang Xiaolou just smiled faintly: “Last night Princess Yaoxue asked the princess to have a dream and said she was very lonely and lonely. You know, the princess has only this biological daughter. , I really don’t want her to be alone, so I want to find more people to take care of it. What do you think?”
Xiao Zhu did not immediately understand, but looked down respectfully and said: “Wang Hao, when you are doing the dojo, you can burn more paper people for the princess, so that there will be no one to serve her?”
Concubine Qing didn’t speak, but smiled quietly at her.
Jiang Xiaolou had a soft smile on his face, but his tone was as alarming as February’s ice and snow: “What a silly girl, those people are also stupid when they go down, how can they take care of the princess. If I say it is easier to use with acquaintances , For example, you are familiar with the preferences of the princess, but also very clever…”
No matter how stupid Xiaozhu was, she could hear that something was wrong. Her palms were cold and sweaty for a while, her teeth kept fighting, and her tone was very incoherent: “Slaves…Slaves…Wang Hao, please spare the slaves!”
Concubine Qing revealed a puzzled look on her face: “Hey, what’s wrong? You didn’t mean that you want to serve Xueer for a lifetime. Why is she now a different person? Did you just lie?” The more gloomy his expression is, as if endless anger is gathering in his heart, ready to go.
Xiaozhu knelt on the ground with a puff, firmly grasping Princess Qing’s dress, her body trembling almost like a sieve, and her speech was intermittent: “Wang Hao, the slave and maidservant are wrong, all slaves and maidservants are wrong! Please forgive the slave and maid. Well, slaves and maids, parents, and brothers, if they don’t have the supplements of slaves and maids, their family will not be able to survive! Princess, you are merciful, please spare the slaves and maids!”
Princess Qing looked at her, her eyes slowly turning cold.
The burial system was extremely popular in the royal family of the previous dynasty, especially the former Emperor Junwen. His beloved Princess Lanting died of illness. Emperor Junwen was very sad. Not only did he build a tomb and beautifully carved sarcophagus for her, but also used countless The gold, silver, jade and silk are used as funeral objects. On the day of the funeral for the princess, he ordered people to sing and dance all the way, attracting hundreds of precious white cranes and attracting thousands of people to follow and watch. All the way to the cemetery, he suddenly turned his face and ordered the armored sergeant to expel all the people watching into the tomb, and seal them together with the white crane in the tomb. So these innocent people became the princesses’ burials. Although Emperor Junwen’s practice was criticized by later historians, it was vying to imitate among high-ranking officials. What’s more, Princess Qing is only asking for the burial of a maidservant. Who will take care of such a small matter?
Xiaozhu became more frightened, and there was a sentence in his mind that kept circling: It’s over, it’s over, it’s all over——
Princess Qing drew out the snow-white silk paw and covered her eyes, with a clear expression: “My daughter died of illness, and people who are ill need to be served under the ground. That’s why you must be with you. Although you have been wronged, this It is also helpless. Don’t worry. After you die, I will explain to the old princess that you will voluntarily go with Xue’er and give your family a funeral expense so that they will have nothing to worry about in their lives. When you are underground, you But take good care of my Cher, I will set up a memorial tablet for you, which is all your loyalty.”
With a faint smile on Jiang Xiaolou’s lips, he seriously sat aside and admired Xiaozhu’s look of fear.
Xiaozhu froze all over, and his lips trembled so much that he could hardly even speak. He kept kowtow on the ground desperately, yelling: “Princess, please spare the servant, please forgive the servant! The servant does not want to die, the servant I really don’t want to die!”
Concubine Qing said with a cold expression: “Come here, take her down, and follow the instructions of the mage-clear your intestines first, and don’t mess up Huangquan Road.”
The two mothers agreed and rushed forward like wolves, one twisted his arms and the other clasped her neck, and they were about to lift her out. Xiaozhu was so frightened for a while, his temples swelled like an explosion, unable to stand a scream “Wang Hao, Wang Hao, I have something important to report, please wait a moment!”
“Stop.” Princess Qing ordered.
Xiaozhu could no longer stand, and fell to the ground, with a sad face: “The princess… slave maid… slave maid…” She just said clearly that there is something important to report, but at this moment she refuses to say it, she wants to say something. Looks like.
Jiang Xiaolou waved back the two mothers, smiling unabatedly on their faces: “Xiao Zhu, I will ask you one question, and you will answer one sentence. If there is a half lie, then you will perform a living sacrifice tomorrow.”
“Yes, the servants must know everything and say nothing.”
Jiang Xiaolou slowed down his tone: “You have been around Princess Yaoxue for a long time, what abnormality can you find?”
Xiao Zhu gritted his teeth: “The princess has a gentle temper and treats others well. He has never lost his temper.”
Seeing her answer the wrong question, it means that she will not cry without seeing the coffin. Jiang Xiaolou sneered and tapped his palm. Fluttershy stepped forward and placed a long bamboo tube with a strange shape in front of Xiaozhu. Xiaozhu hasn’t reacted yet, Xiaodie has already squeezed her mouth and snorted: “In this bamboo tube is a young bamboo leaf green. As long as I scald its tail with fire folds, it will scream!” she Cold fingers slid to Xiaodie’s throat and gestured lightly, “Quickly rushed in through your throat–that taste, tut!”
Xiaozhu was shocked and his face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead.
Princess Qing said sharply: “Don’t tell me yet?”
Jiang Xiaolou saw that the other party had been frightened, so he just waved back Xiaodie with a smile, and said, “Is the princess dying of illness on the way to the hot spring villa?”
“This—” Xiaozhu hesitated: “The princess did have a sudden illness. He didn’t wait for the doctor to come for consultation and went.”
Jiang Xiaolou pondered for a moment: “Who has the princess met before leaving?”
Xiaozhu trembled and his fingertips were cold: “The old princess once summoned the county lord that day, but the servants and the servants were not allowed to enter, so the servants didn’t know what they said.”
Jiang Xiaolou snorted coldly, and said to Xiaodie: “Since you don’t know if you ask, then drag her out.”
“No, don’t!” Xiaozhu quickly yelled, “I’ll tell you! They said in a very low voice, and I was outside again, only vaguely heard the old princess say something-don’t be ignorant of praise, know yourself identity of.”
“anything else?”
“No, really no more.” After Xiao Zhu said this, he burst into tears, as if he felt particularly regret and fear because of betraying the old princess.
Xiaodie took the initiative to help Xiaozhu up, wiped her tears, and said with a grin, “Girl Xiaozhu, honestly come with me to freshen up.”
Xiaozhu was so frightened that his soul was dissipated: “No, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!”
But I heard Princess Qing coldly say: “If the old princess knows what you said here today, I’m afraid that the first person to die is you, so you won’t be honest!”
Xiaozhu suddenly shook, looked at the princess dimly with tears, and was torn out by Xiaodie staggeringly.
Jiang Xiaolou thoughtfully: “So intimidating Xiaozhu would not tell the truth, it can be seen that she knows that once everything is said, the consequences are more terrible than death.”
Princess Qing couldn’t help asking: “Could it be that mother and Xue’er said something, but there is no gap between them!”
Jiang Xiaolou sighed and slowly said, “If there is no suspicion, how can you say words that don’t know how to promote and respect your identity? I’m afraid that the old princess may know something that would use such harsh words to say Xue Ning Wang Hao, this matter can’t come in a hurry, you need to take it slowly.”
Princess Qing slowly sat on the chair: “Slowly figure it out, how long will it take to find out the truth…”
Jiang Xiaolou’s plain face gradually lost his smile, and his dark eyes brought a hint of pity: “Wang Hao, if you really want to avenge Xue Ning, you shouldn’t be so discouraged.”
Princess Qing glanced at her, her expression extremely sad, and she fell silent for a long time.
Soon, Princess Qing ordered the people to arrange a fragrant flower stand in the garden, with three statues hung in the center and a table below. Fresh fruits are placed on the altar table, with drums and hand bells on both sides. Wu Chunfeng led his disciples and grandchildren to make a luxurious and grand ritual very beautiful. The ritual went on for three days and three nights, day and night, and finally angered the old princess. She called Princess Qing away, and said to her face without mercy: “The sound has been in my ears, buzzing non-stop, to tell them to stop immediately.”
Concubine Qing’s expression changed, and she said, “Mother, you agree to be a land and water dojo. How can you change your mind at will.”
The old princess sank her face and said: “Who makes you so noisy! This is the palace, you must be decent, you are so noisy day and night, you really can’t get on the stage!”
The super sound of ringing the bell may be noisy, but the old princess can sing ten days and ten nights in a row when he is happy. What’s more, her yard is located in a remote area, and it is not affected much at all. Now this is just a deliberate excuse.
Princess Qing’s face became even more ugly, her eyebrows frowned, as if desperately suppressing the emotions that were about to gush out.
Looking at her, the old princess said coldly and warmly: “What do you do when you look at me like this, is this the attitude of being a daughter-in-law?”
Princess Qing suddenly sneered: “Dare to ask, did your mother ever treat Cher as your own granddaughter?”
The old princess’s face sank: “What are you talking about? I didn’t treat her as my biological granddaughter!”
Jiang Xiaolou gently pulled the princess’s sleeve and shook his head to her. However, Princess Qing has already endured to the limit and clenched her fists tightly: “Since Xue’er entered the house, you have said that you treat her equally. But when she takes a step, you say her manners are not beautiful; you say that she is not dignified when she takes a bite of rice. ; With a slight smile, you say frivolity again; even if you cough, you will say she disrespects her elders! Is this the attitude toward her granddaughter?”
“I was teaching her the rules. A girl who came from outside didn’t know the general situation. Now the princess who instigated you also didn’t understand the rules! I said earlier that the fallen phoenix returned to the phoenix pile. Not only is it not accustomed to it, others will also deserve it very much when it is seen!”
This sentence is like a sharp knife stabbing the princess Qing with blood. It is very common to do water and land dojos in various houses. The old princess dislikes noisyness, but is disgusted with Xueer, and even blurt out the words of Phoenix and Chicken. , We can see how eccentric she is.
With tears in her eyes, Princess Qing looked at the old princess and said, “Mother, I have never clashed with you for so many years. I know you don’t like me, although I don’t understand why! I try to do everything I can. Satisfy you, you can bear it, and you can let it go, but why do you still treat me like this? I know many people say I am the princess of wood behind my back, say I can’t hold the king’s heart, say I like to slander behind my back Lord, but I’m not like that! Even if I take my heart out to show you, you will still say it’s black! Yes, Cher is my daughter, but the person who lost her is the Lord! What is the real reason? , Don’t you know, mother?”
Jiang Xiaolou was shocked for a moment. Neither the princess nor Li Xuening mentioned the real reason for the loss. Seeing that the princess was so angry, could there be other secrets?
The old princess was frightened: “What are you talking nonsense?”
Princess Qing sneered: “He took Xue’er out, but he only played with Concubine Shun, so that he neglected to take care of Xue’er. If not, how could she have disappeared!”
During the New Year’s Day, according to the rules of the palace, King Qing must stay in the concubine’s room overnight. This is a system that has existed for many years and will never allow destruction. However, King Qing did not like Princess Qing, and loved Concubine Shun very much. In order to be with Concubine Shun, he quietly took her out of the house. This scene happened to be seen by Xueer, who was playing in the courtyard, in order to prevent Xueer from complaining to Princess Qing. He took her out to play as an excuse, held her and left the palace. When the maidservant reported the report, Princess Qing didn’t care. The prince never showed the slightest closeness to Xue Er. He rarely showed his father’s love. Of course, Princess Qing had nothing to say. But she never expected that King Qing only coveted to be with Concubine Shun, and did not care about the young Cher in the slightest. When those people were busy watching the fireworks show, Xueer was abducted away. The loss of his daughter was originally King Qing’s fault, but now it has become Xue’er’s fault. That’s right, she did not grow up in the palace, did not have the orthodox education of the princess, let alone a qualified lady. But so what, isn’t all this caused by King Qing? The old princess kept saying that Xue’er was wrong, but never considered who the culprit was! Concubine Qing thought about this, full of resentment surged up, her emotions became uncontrollable, and she almost rushed to argue with the old concubine!
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Jiang Xiaolou stepped forward and clenched Princess Qing’s hand: “Princess, don’t get angry!”
Princess Qing looked at Jiang Xiaolou suddenly, her gentle and beautiful eyes were looking straight at her, with unspeakable regret and sadness. For a moment, Princess Qing almost thought she had seen Cher’s eyes again. Like a basin of ice water dipped from head to toe, she was stunned for a while, and the emotions that had been almost extremely angry disappeared.
Jiang Xiaolou turned his head and looked at the old princess with a respectful smile: “You are right. We did not do this matter properly. I will immediately tell them to pay attention and never disturb your rest.”
The old princess was also horrified by the terrible expression of the princess Qing. At this moment, seeing the other party seemed to have calmed down, she breathed a little loosely: “Look, you are not as sensible as a foreign girl, go out, I don’t want to see you .”
Princess Qing was almost half-assisted and half-supported by Jiang Xiaolou out of the room. Seeing that she was about to cry bitterly, Jiang Xiaolou shook his head gently: “Princess, you know the consequences of confronting the old princess, why are you so impulsive?”
Princess Qing is very aware of the position of the old princess in the mansion. If she is angry at her, not only will it not solve the problem, it will make the situation unimaginable. Confronted with the elders, once the trouble broke out, her face was lost and her status was not preserved. But people are always impulsive, especially when she hears the old princess humiliate Xueer like that, she can’t help it. If it weren’t for Jiang Xiaolou’s prevention, she might have had a strong conflict with the old princess just now. In the past, she was a wooden princess, watching her husband act arbitrarily, but she was helpless, her only hope was to find her daughter. But she never expected that her daughter was found, but she was unclear. And her husband and everyone in the palace seemed to hide secrets. They knew nothing but her alone. There was simply no one to trust in this world!
Jiang Xiaolou seemed to understand her anger, and his voice was extremely soft: “Wang Hao, the more angry you are, the more you have to stay calm, otherwise you will only be caught by your braids. Try to smile, let’s There is still a lot of time to see who can survive.”
Princess Qing heard Jiang Xiaolou’s implication, no matter whether she said it was right or wrong, no one would stand by her side, because the mother-in-law in the world was always right, let alone a respectable mother-in-law. She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but saw Concubine Shun coming gracefully.
Jiang Xiaolou casually bowed to Concubine Shun.
Concubine Shun was reserved with a smile: “It’s really a sensible child, the princess really has foresight.” After that, she saw Princess Qing’s red eyes and couldn’t help being surprised: “What happened to the princess?”
Princess Qing clenched her fists, almost wanting to scold her, but when she saw Jiang Xiaolou smiling at her, the flames were inexplicably extinguished. She said coldly and coldly: “It’s okay, but I was blinded by the wind.”
Concubine Shun sighed: “It’s fine if it’s okay. I thought the princess was overwhelmed. By the way, I originally sewed this robe and gave it to Princess Yaoxue. Now that she is gone, I still ask my sister to burn it for me. , Send it to Princess Yaoxue.” After she said, she stretched out her hand and the maid beside her took the initiative to hand over a brocade robe. The brocade robe is embroidered with a continuous skylark and phoenix pattern. The breeze flicks a corner and sees that it is inlaid with emeralds and white beads. It is extremely luxurious and complicated, and at the same time beautiful and noble.
Princess Qing glanced at it and said coldly: “Thank you for your kindness, accept it!” The maidservant immediately took over the gorgeous robe.
Concubine Shun was a little surprised to see Princess Qing. In the past, this woman was always easily agitated by herself, but today I don’t know why she can be so calm. Thinking about this, her smile on her face is deeper: “Miss Jiang, although You are the imperial concubine’s righteous daughter, but I still have to boldly tell you something.”
Jiang Xiaolou’s clear eyes were filled with water, and his tone was extremely gentle: “Shun concubine, please say.”
Concubine Shun lightly sighed and said: “Middle-aged bereavement is the most unfortunate. The princess feels too bitter. You have to stay with her and take care of her instead of Princess Yaoxue. You can’t make any omissions, understand. ?”
Princess Qing almost wanted to say something about you, but she resisted it, but said calmly: “It’s not early, I have to go to chant the scriptures, Xiaolou, let’s go.”
Jiang Xiaolou’s lips carried a moving smile from beginning to end, but he gave another salute, turned and followed.
Concubine Shun stood still, her eyes slowly gloomy. The peony flower branch moved, Danfeng Princess Helian smiled and walked in front of Concubine Shun, and said with a smile: “Mother, what are you looking at?”
Princess Danfeng was born by Concubine Shun. She was born with a beautiful face and a beautiful vermilion face. His white face was crystal clear and translucent. The dark eyes were as thin as crystals, like emerald dripping dew, putting the charming beauty in splendid splendor. People look like a blooming crabapple, although it is not scented, it is charming and luxurious, unspeakable.
Concubine Shun sighed softly: “It’s really a sin. It’s so easy to find my daughter, but something like this happened. I don’t know if I have committed too many sins in my previous life, and I will have retribution in this life.”
After Concubine Shun said this, Helian smiled and pursed her lips, and smiled: “Mother, don’t be careless, I see that Jiang Xiaolou looked a little surly. I heard that she has been investigating Yao secretly for the past two days. I am worried about the death of Snow…”
“What are you worried about? This matter has been firmly established that no one can change it!” Concubine Shun looked coldly, obviously not caring.
Helian smiled deeper, and his eyes were bright: “Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years. It is better to keep an eye on it. That Xiaozhu…”
Concubine Shun smiled slightly: “You don’t have to think about this, you still go back to your room to embroider your dowry when you have time, and don’t let this trivial matter delay the big event.”
“Yes.” Helian smiled shyly, and said respectfully: “I will go back now.”
Wu Chunfeng has been muttering words, but Princess Qing’s eyes have been staring in the direction of the void. She seems to be looking at something, and she doesn’t seem to see anything. For a long time, she said quietly, “Is it the more you look at the more you don’t understand?”
Jiang Xiaolou just smiled faintly: “Will the princess want to explain it to me?”
Princess Qing said with a cold expression: “Concubine Shun was the daughter of the prince’s childhood education, and she was considered a childhood sweetheart. Later, her family made a marriage for her, but her fiance committed a crime before welcoming her, and the whole family was thrown into it. Since then, she has been sent to the Qing Palace. I made a marriage contract with the prince earlier, and the marriage was bestowed by the first emperor. The prince did not dare to refuse. In order to please the first emperor, she could only marry me as a concubine. If I didn’t marry him, I Xueer may grow up in an ordinary family. It doesn’t matter if she has no glory and wealth. As long as she lives in peace, I will be very happy.”
Concubine Shun knows how to please more than the princess, not only wins the heart of King Qing, even the old princess also likes her. However, Princess Qing is a regular wife after all. Why does the old princess dislike her so much? Confusion appeared on Jiang Xiao’s floor.
Princess Qing smiled slightly: “The day before the wedding, the prince’s study was inexplicably flooded, which made the old princess very unhappy. She had no good impressions of me on the first day, and always felt that I brought the fire. ——”
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes showed pity slightly: “It’s just an accident. How can you blame the princess.”
Princess Qing sneered: “But she doesn’t think so. For so many years, she has held this knot. She feels that I am an unfortunate person and will bring disaster to the palace. So even if I am the wife, she still despises me and fights. I hate me in my heart. I can understand that the prince loves Concubine Shun, because she is younger than me, more beautiful than me, smarter and more capable than me, and can sing and dance better than me. It doesn’t matter. But Xueer is his biological daughter after all. The princess’s granddaughter! Now that she is dead, no one in this family is willing to shed a tear for her! I am not reconciled, and I am not reconciled to death! I want revenge, I must revenge!”
“Wang Hao, there is only one way to find the murderer–” Jiang Xiaolou said suddenly.
Princess Qing was taken aback and stared at her immediately, but saw Jiang Xiaolou still smiling, her dark eyes like an unsheathed dagger, and the cold light instantly shone.
