Chapter 491: Poking
After Chu left, Minglan stared at the painting for a long time, admiring Xu Huan's wit.
Bizhu spit on her, she had never seen Miss Xu Biao like this, obviously the prince didn't save her, she wanted to say so, she thought that the prince saved people and left, I don't know who was sitting in the carriage, and pressed the words hero to save the beauty on herself, not like her.
Seeing the corners of Minglan's mouth rising, Bizhu couldn't help but roll her eyes, she had never seen the princess so broad-hearted, "Princess, you are still laughing." ”
Minglan's curved lips tightened a little, and said, "Okay, I won't laugh, Ming'er sent this painting to her cousin, and said that Young Master Chu said that the husband of the young lady she saved thanked him." ”
Bizhu nodded repeatedly, she should have been poked like this.
Minglan took a sip of tea and asked, "What about Si'er?"
As soon as he finished asking, Si'er's pretty figure appeared at the bead curtain.
Minglan asked Si'er to stare at Cheng's mother, all day, Cheng's mother was looking at the account books, and found the big kitchen steward and the embroidery room steward to interrogate, during which she went back to Begonia Garden, and was found by the old princess to stay for a quarter of an hour, but Si'er had no reason to enter Changhui Courtyard, let alone enter the main hall, because it was unknown what Cheng's mother and the old princess talked about.
It can be said that there is no gain at all.
Minglan knew that she was too anxious, how could she get some useful information as soon as she let Si'er follow her, and she had to keep an eye on such a thing, and she had to come to the secret guard.
Outside, Qingxing stood outside the bead curtain and said, "Princess, the third girl is here." ”
At this time, it was almost dinner, what was Xiao Rou doing in Jinhuaxuan, Minglan was puzzled, but he still got up, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Xiao Rou walking over in a light blue dress, with an elegant temperament and generous.
Seeing Minglan, she exclaimed, "Sister-in-law." ”
Minglan smiled and asked, "Isn't there something wrong with coming to me at this time?"
Xiao Rou nodded lightly, "There is something I forgot to tell my sister-in-law, the Wei Mansion Ming'er held a banquet, and the post that Miss Shen personally came to deliver a few days ago, but the sister-in-law was not in the mansion at that time, and we didn't know when you would come back, so we politely refused for you, and now that you are back, I think I should talk to you, Ming'er, can you go to the Wei Mansion with us to participate in the lotus banquet?"
After she finished speaking, she saw Minglan's beautiful brows narrowed a little, and she approached two steps, "I also know about the matter of the eldest young master Gu and the second young master Shen, but the sister-in-law is now away from the princess of the princess, we have a special identity from the palace, and generally the Guogong Mansion will send posts for banquets, and most of them are sent in person, just now we discussed it, the old princess means to let you participate." ”
Let her participate, and she's going to go?
Minglan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go, Mother Cheng is in a hurry to go back to Chu's house to serve my mother, and she wants me to learn to take care of the house quickly, and it has been a day to return to the door today." ”
Xiao Rou said, "Mother Cheng is in such a hurry, when the princess returns to the Chu family, what is she worried about, but she will only learn to be a housekeeper a day or two later." ”
Over there, Cheng's mother came over and said with a smile, "If the princess wants to go, just go there, just in the past few days, I have plans to go back to the Chu family, you want to attend the banquet, I will go back tomorrow." ”
Minglan glanced at Cheng's mother in a daze, she obviously didn't want to go, was she so shrewd that she couldn't see it?
Xiao Rou smiled, "Then it's decided, sister-in-law is busy, I'll go first." ”
Each of them didn't give Minglan a chance to speak, so they made a decision.
Minglan was unhappy in her heart, Cheng's mother asked her about the princess as if she hadn't seen it, and Minglan said, "Mother is fine." ”
After losing this sentence, Minglan turned around and went back to the house.
Minglan was so faceless, a trace of gloom flashed in Cheng's mother's eyes, and she turned around and went busy.
During dinner, Minglan told Chu Li about Xiao Rou letting her go to the Wei Mansion to attend the banquet, and he said, "If you don't want to go, don't go, don't pay attention to them." ”
Living under the same roof, how can you say that you can ignore it?
And the point of what she said to him was not whether she wanted to go or not, but that Cheng's mother was looking at Xiao Rou, not her.
Cheng's mother is so obviously wrong, didn't he notice it?
Forget it, she just let the dark guard keep an eye on her.
Early the next morning, Minglan called Si'er in, Cheng's mother went out of the house, she didn't have to follow, so as not to startle the snake.
After Si'er left, Minglan called Chu Feng in again and asked him to keep an eye on Cheng's mother.
Chu Feng thought he had heard something, "Staring at Cheng's mother?"
Minglan nodded, "You heard it right, it's Mother Cheng." ”
"The princess suspects that she has different intentions?" asked Chu Feng.
Minglan nodded again, "My intuition tells me that she may have a problem, as long as she is out of the house, let people stare at it." ”
The secret guards in the house often move around, and if Cheng's mother has a problem, she shouldn't be able to hide it for so many years.
Chu Feng nodded and said, "I'll arrange for someone to follow her." ”
After the order, Minglan went to Changhui Courtyard to greet the old princess.
As soon as she entered the door, several eyes fell on her, Minglan was quite uncomfortable, touching her face, afraid of dirty things, and said worriedly, "What are you looking at me like this?"
The fourth lady smiled, "Last night Concubine Liu was eating, she had a stomachache and was about to give birth, she was pregnant, you were the first to know, you said that she was pregnant with a little princess, we are all curious about whether it is true." ”
After all, it is too unbelievable to dream of the future, and Concubine Liu gave birth to a princess, which is just a verification.
Minglan's clear eyes shone and said, "I also want to know if Concubine Liu gave birth to a little princess or a little prince." ”
Xiao Rou covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you curious about, you have dreamed that Concubine Liu is pregnant, you said that she gave birth to a little princess, it must not be wrong, it is not early at this time, let's go to the Wei Mansion first." ”
Minglan showed a soft smile on her face, and the old princess's forehead was wrinkled.
Minglan said that she dreamed that there were rumors that the prince was not her biological child, and she didn't care.
But if she dreams once, she will inevitably dream a second time, and if she dreams about it too many times, can she not take it to heart?
After Minglan left, she ordered, "Prepare a soft sedan chair, I want to enter the palace." ”
The second and fourth wives were surprised.
It's not a year's holiday, and no one in the palace has sent a post, what is the old princess doing when she suddenly enters the palace?
The third lady frowned.
She probably guessed what the old princess was doing when she entered the palace.
Could it be that the prince is really not born to the old princess?
Isn't it the eldest son, isn't it his turn to inherit the throne?!
After getting into the carriage, he arrived at the Wei Mansion in half an hour.
Minglan thought that the Wei Mansion was just a small banquet, and invited more than a dozen ladies to the mansion to enjoy flowers and tea.
But watching many young masters of the family and their ladies entering and leaving the Wei Mansion, Minglan was puzzled.
Not long after the second young master of the Wei State Mansion died of poisoning from eating puffer fish, the Wei State Mansion came out of its grief so quickly?
