312. Chapter 312: Speculation about Luan'er
Princess Jian looked at Rong Qingyi and suddenly smiled, "I just love to listen to what you girl says, and when these words come out of your mouth, you are very sincere." Did you see Luan'er ten years ago? By the way, it should be more than ten years ago, when you first saw Luan'er, you were still very young, it was your father and mother who brought you here, wearing a red cotton coat, as cute as a pink carving, at that time, Luan'er also gave you candy. Do you still have an impression? ”
Rong Qingyi smiled slightly, and said meekly: "Qingyi is stupid, I don't remember much, at that time, Sister Luan'er was also a young woman, I remember that you once said to Qingyi that it would be good to call her sister, saying that although she is your dowry girl, she is a woman with a kind heart." ”
"yes." Princess Jane sighed softly, her expression suddenly felt a little shallow sadness, and her expression was also a little trance, "At that time, she was not yet twenty years old, and my father and mother deliberately chose a few girls in the mansion who were not very old and had not yet grown up physically and mentally when I got married, and followed me as a dowry girl to marry into King Jian's mansion, I am afraid that choosing to marry Prince Jian who is the same age as me will take away Prince Jian's love for me, and these little girls are not very old, easy to discipline, no matter how big they are, they will not be stupid enough to compete with me for a husband, but it's a pity, Since ancient times, there has been a lot of life, alas, it's pitiful to think about. ”
Rong Qingyi frowned slightly, a little incomprehensible, but did not continue to ask, this is Princess Jane's private matter, unless Princess Jian herself wants to talk about it, otherwise, it is also a matter for her to ask more.
"Have you ever heard that the former emperor also had a son who was exiled for the crime of killing his father?" Princess Jane calmed down, took a cup of tea, and glanced around casually, except for the occasional birdsong, not even half a figure could be seen, these servants in the palace were all smart, no one would choose to come to her at this time, except for her personal loyal servant, and at this time, even a loyal servant was not around.
Yes, as a slave in the palace, you know one thing: the less you know, the less you hear, the less you see, and the less you talk, the more likely you are to live safely. No slave would be stupid enough to give up his life because of his curiosity, and there is no ulterior secret in any courtyard, and even if the slaves knew, they would not have given their lives in vain.
Rong Qingyi thought about it quickly in her mind, and said in a soft voice: "I have occasionally heard my father and mother mention that there is such a person, but I have never elaborated on it. ”
"His name is Jiang Shiwei, and he and the current emperor are both children of the previous emperor." Princess Jane sighed softly, and said slowly, "I also saw him when I was a child, and he was very good-looking, but now, he is a man with an ugly and terrible face, I saw him once when his face was ruined, it is really terrible, forget it, let's not mention this for the time being, let's talk about Luan'er." Luan'er grew up next to me slowly, she is also a descendant of the Li family, and a slave, naturally she has to obey the master's arrangement, for some reason, the Li family chose her to send her to Jiang Shiwei to Jiang Shiwei to enjoy, at that time Jiang Shiwei was still locked up in the prison, although he was imprisoned, but his food, drink and women were indispensable. I didn't agree at the time, but I had to let someone take her away, I still have an impression of Jiang Shiwei, although his face is a little terrible, and his personality is a little weird, but he is not bad, as long as he doesn't look at his face, he is still a good person. At that time, the woman sent was to take the absolute medicine in advance, Jiang Shiwei could have a woman but not offspring, at that time, he only thought that there was no way, but he didn't think about it, on the way there, he was discovered by the emperor,-"
Speaking of this, Princess Jane's face changed suddenly, and a trace of anger flashed, but she quickly covered it up, let out a long breath, and continued to say slowly, "Our emperor, has a more eccentric personality, on the surface he looks very stable, but in private he is a difficult master, listening to the prince, he can only please and not disobey, or he will die ugly." When I was a child, when I went to the palace, I liked to play with Jiang Shiwei, but I didn't like to play with this emperor, he always looked serious, and his eyes were very strange when he looked at people, which made me uncomfortable. As for what happened, I don't know too well, but the person who sent them came back and secretly told me that when they came back, Luan'er had no breath and no good skin and flesh on his body, and the slave who went with Luan'er, who was called the golden boy with Luan'er when I married at the time, never came back, and I don't know whether it was dead or alive. I listened, I was very angry, and I wanted to go to the queen mother the next day to find out about it, but I didn't expect to wake up the next day, and the few minions who came back died inexplicably that night, and then, Luan'er suddenly came back, saying that she was unwell and took a few days off, and nothing changed her appearance, which was still the same as before. ”
Speaking of this, Princess Jane suddenly smiled strangely, took a sip of tea, and looked at Rong Qingyi.
Rong Qingyi was slightly stunned in her heart, and deliberately showed a shallow stunned look on her face, blinked her eyes, and said with some disbelief: "Could it be, could it be, this Sister Luan'er?" ”
"Hmph." The corners of Princess Jane's lips showed a slight hint of sarcasm, "It's good that Luan'er is also my dowry girl, and she has lived with me for a long time, I may not be able to see it at all, although this Luan'er looks exactly the same as her, and even behaves the same, and she can also say something when she asks something, but I just know that she is no longer the previous Luan'er, for the sake of her loyalty to me, and the same as the previous Luan'er to me, I don't bother to ask, the Li family will train some slaves and maids to serve the masters, Although Luan'er is my slave, she was also specially taught by the Li clan before, so it is not strange to have a slave with a similar appearance, and it is estimated that the previous Luan'er also told this Luan'er everything she knew before she died, so I can't see the difference. ”
Rong Qingyi's expression was slightly stunned and said: "Mother-in-law is really powerful, Qingyi didn't see it, one Qingyi is not too familiar with this Luan'er sister, and it is only these days that she has come closer, she takes care of Qingyi, probably because her mother-in-law arranged it in private, but I think she is a little different from the Luan'er sister she saw at the earliest, but she can't say what is different, it seems that there is no change in age, and she looks like she is in her thirties, so she is a little surprised, she is really good-looking." ”
Princess Jian smiled slightly, and said gently: "Naturally, you can't see it, I didn't see it at the beginning, if it wasn't for the slave who came back and secretly told me that Luan'er was robbed by the emperor, I wouldn't suspect it, just think that she went to Jiang Shiwei and came back." The two of them looked like twin sisters, but this Luan'er was younger than the previous one in terms of age. ”
Rong Qingyi nodded, but she didn't know how to continue, so she had to pick up the teacup and take a sip.
"Ye'er didn't know about it, and I didn't mention it to anyone, I think this is also the arrangement of the Queen Mother, this matter must be inseparable from the current emperor, I'm afraid that I must find out the truth so I deliberately covered up this matter, and found a slave similar to Luan'er to serve me." Princess Jane said a little tiredly, "There are many ways in this, you can't study it in detail, if you study it carefully, it will tire people to death." ”
Rong Qingyi's heart moved, and he smiled slightly and said: "In this case, you don't have to let your mother-in-law bother about this matter, as soon as you say that there are many ways in this, I suddenly remembered one thing, I met an old mother surnamed Li on the way just now, and she talked very interestingly, and the slave maid who traveled with me said that she was going to pick some fresh wild vegetables to make a side dish to please the masters, thinking that maybe it was brought by the mother-in-law who beat her mother's family, otherwise, where would there be such a talking and fun slave in King Jian's mansion." ”
"A minion surnamed Li?" Princess Jane thought for a while, "Is it a slightly fat old slave who speaks a little hoarsely and does things neatly?" ”
"Yes." Rong Qingyi immediately said, "Mother-in-law is really good at remembering, such an ordinary slave mother-in-law can immediately remember, it really makes Qingyi envious, Qingyi has never remembered these people and things." ”
"I didn't bring her." Princess Jane pursed her lips, "She is from Aunt Zhou's side, because she works to the point where she is still neat, and she has been doing things in the back, so she is used to it, so she will not be replaced, I didn't know that this person was there before, but I met it once on the road, and I realized that although she is a slave, she occasionally speaks a little vulgar, as you said, it is also an interesting minion." ”
Rong Qingyi nodded, "In this way, Qingyi is wrong." ”
"It's fine." Princess Jian shook her head, "It is estimated that Aunt Zhou doesn't remember this person here, she has always done rough work in the back, has a good relationship with the servants in the palace, can cook some good food, goes out to buy from time to time, and occasionally drinks two cups outside before coming back, she is also an old minion, and no one cares about her." Once the housekeeper said that she was old and wanted to give her some money to let her leave, but she refused to leave, saying that she had no home or job, and she was used to doing things in King Jian's mansion, and she didn't want to leave, and she didn't ask for much money, as long as she didn't starve to death or freeze to death. It seems like that's it. ”
Rong Qingyi nodded, but he didn't understand why he was asking this person.
After gossiping for a while, I heard footsteps outside, it was Luan'er who walked in from outside, saw Rong Qingyi, paused slightly, and then politely said, "Master Rong, hello." ”
"Sister Luan'er is good." Rong Qingyi also said politely, not at all like the appearance of Princess Jian who had just heard Princess Jian tell her that this Luan'er was not the previous Luan'er, and it was still the same tone as before, "I was talking to my mother-in-law, and I told my mother-in-law that you have some trivial things to take care of, but I didn't expect to come back so soon." ”
