Chapter 432: Tea Ceremony (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
A meal, eaten for a quarter of an hour.
Minglan didn't eat much in the morning, but Chu Li had a good appetite, so she accompanied him.
It's just that she was in a hurry to serve tea, she looked at the hourglass several times, Chu Li saw it in her eyes, and said, "Is it so urgent?"
Can she not be in a hurry, giving tea to the elders is a big deal, and she can't be sloppy.
In her previous life, she was a little late with Zhao Yi, and she was counted down by Mrs. Zhao in front of her and made the elders wait for a long time, and then when she served tea, Mrs. Zhao also asked her to kneel for a while, but Zhao Yi didn't have anything.
She knew that when the new daughter-in-law entered the door, the elders would give her a dismount.
The princess she is not worried, but the old princess sent Mother Qian over, she is a little worried, it is better to go to the tea ceremony early, if you are not full, it is enough to come back and eat a few more snacks.
But Chu Li was not in a hurry, chewing and swallowing slowly, Minglan was anxious.
But the more anxious you are, the more things will happen, no, Qingxing, who went to find the key necklace, came back with a half-large wooden box, and said urgently, "Girl, the box has been moved." ”
Chu Li frowned.
Minglan glared at Qingxing, she really couldn't speak, fortunately, she had a good relationship with Chu Li, and there were no outsiders in the house, which made others listen, and thought that the hands and feet of the people in the palace were not clean.
Qingxing realized it later, and hurriedly knelt down, and Minglan said, "What has been moved?"
"The girl's key necklace. ”
Minglan's forehead furrowed and looked at Chu Li.
Bizhu took the brocade box and showed it to Minglan, and when the box was opened, she saw that there was a key necklace and a purse given by Chu Li.
The key necklace is still there, but what makes Qingxing anxious is the mud on the necklace.
At the beginning, Hongying used mud to rub the key to steal Minglan's tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets and left, this key was to open the wooden box, Qingxing was worried that someone had rubbed the key, and opened the wooden box, so she hurried to tell Minglan.
But Minglan was not in a hurry at all.
This key is fake, not to mention secretly rubbing, even if you steal it directly, you can't open it.
"Alright, get up," Minglan said gently.
Qingxing looked at her and said, "Don't care about the key?"
"This key is fake. ”
Hearing Minglan say this, Qingxing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm scared to death the slave, and the broken jade in the purse is also fake?"
Minglan, "....... ”
Yuque is real!
She picked up the purse and touched it casually, but Yuque was really gone.
Minglan looked at Chu Li, although Yuque would run back by herself, someone took advantage of her marriage to fish in troubled waters and steal her things, and they couldn't bear it.
As a result, Bizhu tilted her head and said, "Yuque is under the pillow where the princess is sleeping, and the slave saw it when she opened the sheets." ”
She was surprised that the princess didn't put the purse on her body, why Yuque was under the pillow, but when there was no purse, she didn't check it when she understood that she gave her the purse.
Chu Li sat aside and said, "Yuque was stuffed under my pillow and ran back in the middle of the night last night." ”
The corners of Minglan's mouth twitched, and he put down his purse silently.
I don't know who stole it, I worked hard, I stole the fake key, not to mention, I took Yuque away with the sheep, and let Yuque run away.
Chu Li reached out and touched Minglan's forehead, where she hit the big bag yesterday, she couldn't see it anymore, but when he saw Yuque last night, Yuque was on her wound.
He didn't believe it was just a coincidence.
He couldn't sleep last night after being tortured, he thought about it a lot, especially on the day of the Lantern Festival, when he fought with the assassins, he remembered that after being poisoned, Minglan bit his finger to detoxify him, and he stopped him.
Later, when he took the jade from his arms again, there was a moment of scorching.
He still felt strange at the time, but the situation was urgent, and he didn't think much about it, so he threw the jade que.
He only remembered yesterday that when he touched Yuque, his hands should have been stained with Minglan's blood.
Later, Yuque stayed by his side for a few days, and then ran to find Minglan, without exception, those days were when he took Minglan's blood.
It should be that the medicinal properties have not disappeared, and Yuque feels it, so he stays by his side.
As soon as the medicinal properties disappeared, Yuque ignored him.
Later, Yuque did not stick to Minglan, it should be because he didn't touch her blood.
When Chu Li said this, Minglan's eyes widened, "Is that so?"
"It's not a matter of trying. ”
Minglan nodded, and then said, "You're not going to use the jade que to lure those assassins?"
Although she knew that the assassin was from Beiliang and told him, she didn't know whose power it was because there were so many people in Beiliang.
Chu Li smiled, "You don't need Yuque, it's enough to let the dark guard try." ”
It only takes a drop of blood for the dark guard to wear the jade que, and the return of the jade que a few days later proves that his guess is correct.
When Chu Li put down the chopsticks, Minglan got up and dragged him to serve tea to the old princess.
Since she married Chu Li, although it is fake, the homework that should be done cannot be missing, and even if she doesn't inquire, Mu Shi also inquired about it and stuffed it into her head.
Leaving the palace, of course, we have to start with the old prince.
He gave birth to four sons and two daughters, of which the prince and the third lord were born by the old princess, and the fourth lord followed the old prince and the prince to the battlefield, and the prince fell off the cliff and was seriously injured and broke an arm.
The second master was born by Emperor Taizu's grandson, and in his previous life, his grandson died of illness a year later.
The prince's inner house is also relatively simple, except for the princess, there are only two aunts, Aunt Mo and Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Mo is the maiden niece of the old princess, when the Zhao family asked the princess to marry on her behalf, the old princess was very angry, but for the sake of the prince's illness, she had to endure it.
But the Zhao family's approach of Li Dai Tao stiffened, she was very dissatisfied, so she married the prince and entered the door.
Well, Aunt Mo back then was Concubine Mo.
It's just that the Zhao family deceived the princess and asked the princess to marry on his behalf, and the prince was furious, how could the prince be happy about the old princess's move.
He wanted to demote the princess to a side concubine, but the princess did not agree, she would rather return to the Chu family with her than be a concubine, even if it was a side concubine.
The prince agreed, and the princess went back to Chu's house.
But not everyone has the arrogance of a princess, Concubine Mo didn't dare to ask for peace and leave the book, so she could only be an aunt obediently.
For so many years, even if there was an aunt like the old princess, she had not been able to climb to the position of side concubine.
As for Aunt Zhou, she was originally a maid in a room, and she was only raised as an aunt when she was pregnant, but the child was not born, she fell when she was six months old, the child was gone, and she was not pregnant again.
Thinking all the way, I arrived at Changhui Courtyard.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a strange voice of yin and yang, "For so many years, it is the first time I have seen the prince early in the morning, and after waiting for such a long time without seeing anyone, I thought he couldn't stay out of the house in the middle of the night." ”
Hearing the prestige, Minglan saw a luxuriously dressed lady, who was the third wife.
Chu Li glanced at her lightly, "I will live in the mansion from now on, and the third aunt will never be less when she sees me." ”
The third lady was stunned, her eyes swept Minglan up and down, and she sighed, "I can let the prince who hasn't seen him once in ten days and half a month live in the palace from now on, and the princess has good skills." ”
