Chapter 194: Leaving the Side Concubine

The corners of Yi Qing's eyes twitched, and she subconsciously touched the kraft paper bag in her sleeve pocket that was about to drip water, and she wanted to cry without tears. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info what a good opportunity to get drugged, and I actually let it go in vain.

It's also strange that Hua Lianyue did the right thing with her, she never thought that Hua Lianyue would choose to drink the medicine honestly at a critical time.

Just as she was secretly sighing, Hua Lianyue threw a bamboo basket into her arms, and said with a smile: "The rose petals used by the ladies are gone, you go and pick some quickly." ”

Yi Qing reined in her thoughts and said helplessly, "Miss, how many roses do you need?"

Hua Lianyue raised her eyes to look at the sky at forty-five degrees, and seemed to think for a moment before she said slowly: "It's not that I need it, it's these ladies who need it, maybe eight, nine, ten catties! ”

Yi Qing stumbled with a bamboo basket and almost fell down in embarrassment: I have only heard that roses are picked by flowers, or the first time I heard that they are picked by the number of catties, and they have to pick eighty or ninety catties, and they can't be bitten by insects, you want to fry them as vegetables!

......

For three days in a row, the small courtyard of Hua Liyue was very lively. Those ladies don't know if it's really to be beautiful, or just to find some fun in loneliness, and almost all of them soak here except for sleeping. Hua Lianyue also did not refuse to come, and even the meal was rubbed in this lady's room and that lady's room.

The doctor asked the medicine boy to send, she also drank it if she wanted, and put it aside if she didn't want to drink it, and she wouldn't touch it when it was cold. Yiqing became more and more desperate, and the kraft paper bag in his hand was broken, but he didn't find the opportunity to secretly drug.

Finally, on the fifth day, a heavyweight female guest came to Hua Lianyue's small courtyard full of guests. In the midst of laughter and slapstick, a beautiful woman with gorgeous clothes, a plump figure, and deep facial features came to the gate of Hua Lianyue's courtyard surrounded by a team of maids.

"I've seen Concubine Lifang. ”

"I've seen Concubine Lifang. ”

"I've seen Concubine Lifang. ”

As the respectful salutes of the maids came in, the originally lively room was strangely quiet. Hua Lianyue was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the ladies who were still laughing showed a cramped look on their faces, and they got up one after another to greet them. Hua Lianyue raised her eyebrows when she saw this, and secretly felt shocked, it seems that this is the main master.

Yiqing also said anxiously in her ear: "Miss, it's the side concubine outside!"

Hua Lianyue raised her eyes and glanced at her, and said lightly: "I'm not deaf, I heard it!" After speaking, she lowered her head and continued to pound the pearl powder in her hand.

According to Ai Ai's words: "Miss, the concubine is the sister of the deceased concubine, and now the eldest son of the second prince, Young Master Yufei, is raised in front of her, and she is a veritable person in charge of the backyard of this palace." ”

"Oh, that sounds pretty majestic. Hua Lianyue didn't raise her head.

Yi Qing grinned with a toothache, and finally stopped going around in circles, and said directly: "Miss, you see that all the ladies have gone out to greet you, should you also go out to greet the side concubine?"

Hua Lianyue tilted her head, looked at her and smiled faintly, and said, "Yiqing, you really made a mistake." I am a guest of your second prince, if it is a concubine, according to the etiquette, I should go out to greet it, if it is just a side concubine......" She snorted lightly and did not continue, but the contempt in it was about to come out.

When had Yiqing ever heard such bold words, her face turned white with fright, she knelt down with a puff, kowtowed heavily, and said, "Yiqing has seen Niangniang!"

Hua Lianyue raised her eyes and looked over, and saw a group of maids in pink clothes surrounded by a noblewoman of twenty-seven or eight, who had already entered the house. This noble lady has a round face, big eyes, and a dignified and charming person. She combed the Lingyun bun that only the ladies of the Eastern Qin Dynasty liked, and her hair was full of red gold and treasured jewelry, full of wealth and wealth.

The ladies who had gone out to meet her followed her respectfully and meekly. I don't know if I heard Hua Lianyue's unkind words, and the smiles on their faces were very stiff at this moment.

However, with a casual smile on the side concubine's face, she walked step by step, and only stood still when she was four or five steps away from Hua Lianyue. Immediately, a maid brought a chair, and after she sat down, she smiled and said, "Presumably this is the new Miss Hua, right?"

The newcomer frowned, and she suddenly noticed a problem. The side concubine in front of her didn't seem to know her identity, didn't Yu Guang tell her?

Sure enough, I saw that the concubine took her eyes off her. She raised her hand, looked at her beautifully trimmed and painted nails, and said slowly: "Although I am just a small side concubine, thanks to the trust of the second prince, since my sister died, I have handed over this huge palace backyard to me to take care of, can't I afford you to enter the palace alone, and no one with a name got up to greet you?"

Before she could finish speaking, the ladies all lowered their heads in unison, holding their breath and concentrating, and even their breathing slowed down a little.

The smile on Concubine Li's face had disappeared, and her tone was tinged with a terrifying anger. She moved her eyes to Hua Lianyue's face, and deliberately looked at her eyebrows carefully, even the scars on her cheeks that had faded a lot.

Concubine Li was secretly annoyed in her heart: This person's eyes are clear and smart, and his appearance is a few points stronger than that Zhong Lingxiu, no wonder the second prince didn't say anything, and he directly took her into the Fenghua Hall after me. I don't know what the second prince promised this woman, but she was so rude and arrogant.

Hua Lianyue laughed, she arched her hand at the side concubine, and said crisply: "I don't mean to look down on the side concubine, it's just that I am the sister of General Liugu in the ancient town of Erna." By mistake, he was invited to the Second Prince's Mansion as a guest. ”

According to the rules, if she is a guest, she really doesn't have to greet the little concubine who is not a serious master.

Concubine Li was stunned, then frowned, and scolded: "Nonsense, if you are really General Liu's sister, why would the second prince arrange for you to live in Fenghua Palace?"

Of course, the second prince of your family didn't think about how to use my identity for a while, and he didn't want to publicize the news that I was here, so he simply put me under house arrest in this palace full of women.

Because she also secretly inquired, she found that except for the maids in charge of the various courts, the rest of the ladies were not summoned by the second prince or the concubine, and they could not go out at will.

It is said that this rule was personally set by the second prince after proposing to Princess Wuluolan of Great Xia. The purpose was probably that he knew that he did not have an advantage compared to the third prince, so he used this method to show Wu Luolan's sincerity in asking for marriage.

Of course, these are also what Hua Lianyue secretly speculated after she realized that Concubine Lifang didn't know her true identity. In the heart of lightning, Hua Lianyue smiled faintly, and in the aggressive staring of the concubine from the side, she said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Probably because the second prince sympathized with my serious injury, so he temporarily placed me in this Fenghua Hall to recuperate." ”

No wonder she was so disrespectful to the doctor, he still pinched his nose and tried his best to prescribe prescriptions and boil medicine for her, presumably it was also ordered by the second prince himself, so he didn't dare to disobey.

What she could think of, how could she not think of the wisdom of the side concubine.

She glared at Hua Lianyue, took a breath in the middle of the sound, and said with a reluctant smile: "I didn't expect you to be General Liu Gu's own sister, it's really rude!"

Hua Lianyue waved her hand generously, and said with clear eyes: "Niangniang doesn't have to blame herself, those who don't know are not guilty!"

The corner of Concubine Li's mouth twitched, and she listened to Hua Lianyue and continued: "It's just that I don't know whose bewitchment Niangniang listened to, so she misunderstood my identity?"

Concubine Li's eyes flashed, but she didn't speak. Hua Lianyue didn't ask anymore, but said meaningfully: "No matter who it is, this person is suspected of killing people with a knife, and Niangniang must not be gullible." ”

"I don't bother Miss Hua with this. Unable to sit still any longer, she stood up, and the maid behind her left the chair behind her with great eyes. She said to Hua Lianyue gently: "In this case, I won't bother Miss Hua to recuperate here, farewell!"

Hua Lianyue arched her hand again and said with a smile: "I won't send it far!"

After leaving the side concubine to come and return from the small courtyard of Hua Lianyue, she said sharply to the group of only ladies who followed her: "I have long heard that in the past few days, you have made a lot of trouble. Since the one inside is the second prince's distinguished guest, you should be vigilant and don't disturb her cultivation. ”

"Yes!" the ladies bowed in unison.

She flicked her sleeves and strode away.

Out of the Fenghua Palace, one of the maids whispered: "Niangniang, is what the surnamed Hua said the truth?"

"Nine times out of ten, it's true. Concubine Lifang said angrily: "No wonder the second prince didn't allow me to inquire about her, only that her identity was a little special." I was also dizzy, so I was deceived by that slut, thinking that the second prince had a heart for her. It's really annoying that I was sent to the door for nothing and was humiliated......"

"Niangniang!" The maid lowered her voice and said, "No matter what her identity is, now that she is locked up in the Fenghua Palace, she is in the hands of Niangniang. can't let her humiliate her mother in vain, but she won't be punished. Let's ......."

"What do you know!" Concubine Li said impatiently: "Even the second prince has no plans to move her for the time being, but I don't know whether to intervene rashly, wouldn't it make the second prince angry." Forget it, leave her alone for now. She warned the maids beside her, "Remember to me that you must keep your mouth shut about the identity of that woman, and you must not spread it out to others." If the second prince hears a little wind, you don't want to live. Her sinister scolding made several maids tremble, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes!"

One of the maids hesitated for a moment and said, "Niangniang, those ladies in the house today know the identity of Miss Hua, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not publicize it." ”

"I don't care!" Concubine Lifang narrowed her eyes, smiled slightly, and said very viciously: "If they don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they talk nonsense and ruin the second prince's plan, naturally the second prince will personally punish them, so what does it have to do with me." It's just the slut who dares to hit me with his idea......"

The maid hurriedly approached and said, "How does Niangniang want to punish her?"

The concubine didn't speak, and a calculating light flashed in the eyes of the yin owl, which made many maids shudder.

After the ladies left the side concubine, they also quietly dispersed. The room, which had been lively for several days, was quiet again.

Yi Qing quietly raised her eyes and looked at the silent Hua Liyue through her fine eyelashes. She has been serving in this palace since she was a child, and her knowledge is really limited. Although she knew the ancient town of Erna, she didn't know who Liu Gu was. However, this Miss Hua can force the concubine to retreat in just a few words, presumably this Liu Gu is a great character.

Thinking of this, she unconsciously touched her sleeve pocket, it seems that she is going to find her mother again tonight. I finally have to be sure, how to deal with this medicine.

"Kneel!" Yi Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly Hua Lianyue burst into her ears. She was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she immediately fell to the ground.

Hua Lianyue looked at her condescendingly, and said coldly: "Take out the things that you have hidden in your sleeve pocket for so many days and show me!"

Yi Qing was taken aback when she heard this, she almost subconsciously covered her sleeve bag tightly, and said with a smile: "Miss is too careful, I don't have anything hidden in my sleeve pocket, just two handkerchiefs to wipe sweat." ”

Hua Lianyue frowned, obviously disbelieving, she said coldly: "You must not know, I used to be a fast catcher." I don't know how many murder cases have been solved, can your little caution still hide from my eyes? ”

After a pause, she slowed down her voice again, and said with a hint of bewilderment: "As long as you take out the things and read them for the sake of your master being used, I don't plan to pursue it." ”

Yiqing bit her lip, did not speak, and did not move.

Hua Lianyue twisted her brows, she stood up and slowly paced to Yiqing's side, and continued to say slowly: "If you don't take it out...... I'll do it myself!" Before she could finish speaking, she had already made a lightning move. I saw her grab Yiqing's wrist, twist it back, and take out all the bits and pieces in her sleeve pocket very neatly.

Yiqing screamed, and the next moment he was pushed aside.

Hua Lianyue already has two more handkerchiefs with good embroidery, and a small cyan purse with a few Northern Underworld characters embroidered on it. It's a pity that Hua Lianyue can't understand it, and I don't know if it's Yiqing's name.

There is nothing strange about the handkerchief being seen everywhere, let Hua Liyue throw it aside, she checked the purse, and found that although it was light and weightless, there was a faint sound of rattling coming from inside.

Yi Qing looked at the purse, her face turned white with fright, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She was prostrate on the ground, her body trembling vigorously, and she couldn't even say a word.

Hua Lianyue looked at her and smiled, "Are you still hard-mouthed?" If you still don't want to say it, I can only take this and ask the second prince." By the way, ask him if this is your hospitality in the North Underworld. ”

"Miss Hua's atonement, I said yes, I said yes......" Yiqing was still timid after all, she kowtowed again and again, choked and said: "It's not a malicious thing in it, it's just some child-avoiding medicine that temporarily prevents you from getting pregnant." ”

She hated why she was so cheap, and when she saw that the brown paper was broken, she put the powder in a purse embroidered with her name. It is equivalent to making iron-like evidence with his own hands and sending it to Hua Liyue.

"Child-avoiding medicine?" Hua Liyue curiously opened her purse and glanced inside, there were some brown medicinal powders, mixed with a fishy and pungent smell. She frowned, reached out to lift Yiqing's chin, and sneered: "If it's just a child-avoiding medicine, you might as well take two bites and show it to me." If you eat it, I will return it to you at once, and never speak of it again, how about it?"
