Chapter 168: Hatred, Truth!
Xiao Yu hadn't really seen the Nine Princesses up close, but in recent years, the most heard in the palace was almost the Nine Princesses, so she still had a general impression of the Nine Princesses' physiognomy and characteristics. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In addition, this is the surrounding area of Heling Palace, and it is said that the Nine Princesses also have a soft spot for this bamboo forest, and when they saw the beautiful girl who appeared in the pavilion in the forest at this moment, Xiao Yu immediately realized that the person they saw must be the Nine Princess Meng Xia.
Hearing the name of the ninth princess, Zheng Qin's face suddenly turned even paler, she stood there motionless, looking at the girl standing there in the pavilion who was also looking at herself, and her mind was confused for a while.
"Little Lord, Little Lord......"
secretly screamed a few times, but Xiao Yu found that his little master was stunned there, and there was no reaction at all, and he couldn't help but be anxious for a while.
Seeing that the Ninth Princess had already walked out of the pavilion with the palace people and came straight to them, Xiao Yu'er even raised her voice to remind her. But the strange thing is that Zheng Xiaozhu still didn't react at all, and stared at the nine princesses who were getting closer and closer as if he had lost his soul.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu had no choice but to take a few steps forward to welcome the Ninth Princess.
"The slave has seen the nine princesses, and the nine princesses are auspicious!"
She hurriedly saluted and asked, for fear that her little master would cause some trouble if he was so rude.
Although the reputation of the Nine Princesses in the palace is not bad, this will be that Zheng Xiaozhu is indeed too out of shape, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Nine Princesses will not mistakenly think that they are disrespectful or disrespectful.
"Excuse me, who are you? How did you come here? ”
Meng Xia saw that Zheng Qin's reaction when she saw her was so strange, and she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart for a while. Because, Zheng Qin's eyes definitely don't look like looking at a living person who met for the first time.
"Back to the ninth princess, the slave maid saw that the weather was good today, so she accompanied Zheng Qin's little master out for a walk, but I didn't expect the ninth princess to be here, disturbing the ninth princess's Yaxing, it was all the slave's fault, please forgive the ninth princess."
Xiao Yu saw that his little master still didn't have the slightest reaction, so he stared straight at the ninth princess, and suddenly his heart was about to pop out, so he had to quickly take the initiative to ask for guilt.
"Ninth Princess, don't be angry, my little master didn't mean to be rude. It's just that her body is not good, and her spirit has been very poor recently, so she doesn't know what to think now, and she doesn't know what to think about now, and she doesn't respond no matter how she screams. ”
At the same time, Xiao Yu hurriedly explained to Meng Xia on behalf of Zheng Qin, for fear that the Ninth Princess would be angry and punished.
After all, the little lord doesn't even have an official title now, and now he has no status in the palace at all, in case he offends the emperor's most favored nine princesses, I am afraid that there will be no day to turn over.
Although Xiaoyu is young and not too big, she has seen a lot of sinisterities in this palace, and she sincerely hopes that Zheng Xiaozhu will be good, even if she can't be favored in the future, at least she won't be a sinner, and she can live peacefully.
"It turned out to be the new young master Zheng who entered the palace."
Seeing this, Meng Xia ignored Zheng Qin's gaffe for the time being, but said to the small fish who was overbearing: "You don't have to be nervous, I just think this place is very remote, and the harem concubines have never come here to play, it's not that you can't come here." I see that the situation of your little master seems to be a little wrong, I'm afraid that she is tired, so you can quickly help her to rest in the pavilion for a while. ”
Hearing Meng Xia's words, Xiao Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly thanked him gratefully.
"Little Lord, Little Lord, did you hear the words of the Ninth Princess? The slave will help you over and rest for a while. She hurriedly went over to help Zheng Qin and reminded her again.
The ninth princess did not get angry about what happened just now, but was quite concerned about her little master, which made Xiao Yu have a lot of good feelings towards the ninth princess in her heart.
But what Xiaoyu never expected was that the little master Zheng Qin was still like that, standing motionless in place no matter what he said, still staring at the ninth princess so rudely, but not saying a word.
"Nine princesses, this ......"
Xiao Yu was completely frightened by Zheng Qin's actions, and for a while he didn't know what to do, and his heart, which was originally a little relieved, hung up again.
Again and again, Zheng Xiaozhu won't be evil today, right?
She has never seen Zheng Qin like this, and she doesn't believe that this is really the little master on weekdays?
"Don't worry, let's take a look at the situation first, if there is really anything wrong with your little master, I will have someone to pass the imperial doctor over."
Meng Xia was also very surprised in his heart, but he still said first: "Caiyi, you also go and help it, be careful, don't surprise Zheng Xiaozhu." ”
"Yes!" Seeing this, Caiyi took the order, and then stepped forward to join the little fish and forcibly helped Zheng Qin to sit down in the pavilion.
"Ninth Princess, isn't the slave looking at this little master Zheng into evil? Why don't the slaves and maids go and ask the Imperial Doctor to come and take a look at her now? ”
The person finally sat down with help, but Zheng Qin was still like a soul out of her body, not only did she not say a word, but her eyes were always staring at the ninth princess the whole time, and it became more and more complicated and inexplicable.
Seeing this, Meng Xia had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, you can go and ask Imperial Doctor Wu to come over now, hurry up, don't delay." ”
As soon as the words fell, before Caiyi had time to receive the order, Zheng Qin, who had been acting strangely, finally had a different reaction.
"Thank you for the kindness of the Ninth Princess, I'm fine, I don't need to ask for a doctor."
Zheng Qin's voice carried an indescribable vicissitudes of life, as if he had finally come to his senses after thousands of years.
"Little master, little master, you're okay, you can finally speak!"
Xiao Yu was extremely excited, just now he really thought that something was wrong with Zheng Qin, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.
"Ninth Princess, Zheng Qin has something she wants to say to Ninth Princess alone, I don't know if it's okay?"
Zheng Qin ignored Xiao Yu, and although he opened his mouth at this moment, it was as if there was still only Meng Xia in his eyes.
Without warning, she proposed to talk to Meng Xia alone, which made everyone present stunned, obviously very surprised.
"Caiyi, you take this palace maid to get some tea and food with the Ling Palace, Xiao Zhu Zheng should be a little thirsty after being gone for so long."
Meng Xia was the first to come back to his senses and waved his hand towards Caiyi, which was regarded as acquiescing to Zheng Qin's request.
Originally, this was exactly what she was here for, so she deliberately asked Caiyi to spend some effort to bring people here, pretending to have a chance encounter just to meet Zheng Qin alone, but she didn't expect things to go much smoother than she imagined.
The little lord offered to talk to the ninth princess alone, and the ninth princess also allowed it in a good temper, seeing this, Xiao Yu naturally didn't dare to say half a word more, and quickly bowed and retreated first.
"Little Master Zheng, now it's just you and me here, I don't know if you want to talk to me alone?"
After a moment, Meng Xia asked Zheng Qin seemingly calmly.
At this time, she became more and more interested in the beauty in front of her, and she really didn't know where Chu Zhengqian found such a special person.
To be honest, after seeing Zheng Qin's appearance with her own eyes, she didn't think that this woman's appearance would lose to any concubine in this palace, and even she felt that Zheng Qin had a breathtaking coldness, which was incomparable to Xi Guiren.
"Does the Ninth Princess know who I am?"
Zheng Qin has been sober a lot, but his face is becoming more and more numb and cold, like a cold winter, without a trace of warmth.
"Aren't you the beauty newly elected by my father to the palace? Your personal palace maid has already said just now, you are the little master Zheng. ”
Meng Xia saw that Zheng Qin's situation was not right, so he didn't show anything else, just like the reaction that a normal princess and a harem beauty should have when they met for the first time.
"The Ninth Princess should know that this is not what I mean." Zheng Qin didn't go around, and said directly: "You should know who I am, and you should know why I entered the palace!" ”
"Little Master Zheng's words, why don't I understand the more I listen to them?"
Seeing this, Meng Xia couldn't help but smile slightly: "Although you are not officially favored by my father emperor yet, you are my father's person when you enter this palace." The women who were elected to the palace all came to serve my father, didn't they? ”
Meng Xia's attitude seemed to stimulate Zheng Qin, she sneered, and almost gritted her teeth and said: "There are no outsiders here at all, why should the ninth princess pretend not to know!" You know that I am his, otherwise how could you have met me here today? ”
At this moment, Zheng Qin's eyes were full of hatred, and he unabashedly burst out of his strong hatred for Meng Xia!
That's right, from the moment she entered this bamboo forest and saw the Nine Princesses standing far away in the pavilion, she knew everything.
What chance encounters, what coincidences, are all just deliberate arrangements.
Zheng Qin understood at that moment that even the personal palace maid beside her didn't realize that she had unknowingly been led by the nose to drill in a place that some people had already arranged.
That's right, Meng Xia is indeed quite smart, everything is done naturally without traces, but she Zheng Qin is not a fool, and she can't understand the twists and turns in between.
"His people? Isn't this what he means to my father? Meng Xia's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't intend to admit anything at all.
It's not that she has any heart, but Zheng Qin's words and deeds at this time are obviously too abnormal, and she is obviously not friendly to her, so she really has some doubts about what Chu Zhengqian's heart is.
Before everything is figured out, she will not admit anything, even if Zheng Qin is sure that everything doesn't matter.
Seeing that Meng Xia was not moved at all, Zheng Qin's suffocating face was even more cold.
She couldn't help but chuckle, and the laugh was mocking.
After laughing, Zheng Qin looked at Meng Xia and said with disdain: "I thought that the person who the prince fancied would be so good, but I didn't expect that he didn't even have the courage to admit my true identity positively!" ”
"Lord Wang?" Meng Xia didn't care about Zheng Qin's attitude, and after thinking about it for a while, he said with a smile: "So far, there are two people I know who have been crowned kings, one is my third brother, and the other is the former Chu Proton. If you are my third brother's person, you will never dare to speak to me like this, it turns out that you are the beauty that Chu Zhengqian arranged to enter the harem of Nanmeng! ”
After Chu Zhengqian returned to Northern Chu, in order to appease the people, the Emperor of Northern Chu made Chu Zhengqian the king at the suggestion of some courtiers.
Meng Xia suddenly felt that the relationship between Zheng Qin and Chu Zhengqian was not simple, this woman was now in the harem of Nanmeng, and she really didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"The Ninth Princess finally admits that she has known who I am for a long time?" Zheng Qin's tone became more and more mocking: "I thought you wouldn't take the initiative to find me, but I didn't expect that it would take so long before I couldn't wait?" ”
Hearing this, Meng Xia couldn't help frowning and said, "Obviously, I really don't understand the other meanings of these words that Junior Master Zheng said. I think you have misunderstood something, and I think all I can do is to tell me what I know, and unravel some of the misunderstandings that may exist between us. As for believing or not believing, it doesn't matter to me. ”
Meng Xia said that he looked at the slightest change in expression on Zheng Qin's face, and did not pause, and continued directly: "About two months ago, I did receive a letter from Chu Zhengqian. At the end of the letter, he did mention that a beautiful woman had been arranged to enter the palace to be selected. But other than that, Chu Zhengqian didn't mention anything else, because I didn't know that Zheng Xiaozhu was the beauty mentioned in his letter, and I didn't know what he was doing to arrange for you to enter the palace. ”
This is true or false, because Chu Zhengqian did not tell her the reason and specific plan to send the beauty into the palace, nor did he ask her to do anything for any favor, but Zheng Qin's name was mentioned, but other than that, there was really nothing else.
"Impossible! It's impossible for the prince not to tell you who I really am! Zheng Qin's emotions suddenly became excited, and he shouted at Meng Xia: "You are talking nonsense, how can the prince not tell you the purpose of my entry into the palace!" ”
Zheng Qin's words surprised Meng Xia, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why did he tell me that?" Could it be that your entry into the Nanmeng harem has anything to do with me? ”
Almost subconsciously intuition, Meng Xia suddenly connected Zheng Qin's inexplicable hatred for her with those words just now, and naturally deduced this possibility that he had never thought of before.
This time, it was Zheng Qin's turn to be shocked.
She could see that Meng Xia's reaction just now didn't seem to be fake, but this made her heart feel like it was being torn apart.
"Lord Wang, he really didn't tell you anything, didn't tell you anything?" Forcibly swallowing the fishy sweetness that almost gushed out of her throat, Zheng Qin's face was as dead as ashes, but she stared at Meng Xia without blinking, trying to detect the answer she wanted from her expression.
"I really don't know what you mean, but I can tell you unequivocally, I only know that he has arranged for a beautiful woman to enter the palace to be selected, and I don't know what he wants to do. Also, he didn't ask me to help with anything in the letter, and I thought it was strange at the time, and I didn't know what he meant. ”
Meng Xia said with a straight face: "Since you are the beauty mentioned in Chu Zhengqian's letter, then I hope to be able to find out some answers from you today!" (To be continued.) )
