The 144th Back Door (Part II)
When Mrs. Yunxiang Hou saw that Qi Jingshu, the little concubine of the palace who didn't even dare to come out in the past, now put on a master's posture to greet herself and her daughter, she became more and more annoyed in her heart, and only had a gloomy and calm face, ignoring Qi Jingshu at all, and not giving her face, and at the same time she had a lot of resentment towards her sister-in-law in her heart.
Qi Jingshu was not annoyed, she only smiled and sat opposite each other, she was not the kind of girl who was good at communicating, because of her brother's teaching, she was able to prevent herself from revealing her cowardice, and she could sit firmly opposite and smile with each other, Qi Jingshu had made great progress.
When Mo Yue passed a cup of tea, Prince Le and Princess Le walked slowly surrounded by a group of maids and grandmothers. Everyone in the Dongnuan Pavilion stood up, Qi Jingshu quickly stepped forward and called: "Mother Concubine", Prince Le and Concubine smiled lightly, signaling her to stand beside her, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou saw this scene, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she added another layer of annoyance in her heart.
"The concubine has seen the concubine." "Jinni meets Aunt Taifei." Waiting for Prince Le and Princess to sit down at the top, the mother and daughter of Yunxiang Hou stepped forward to pay a formal salute.
Prince Le and Princess said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't be polite, three girls, go and help your eldest aunt and fifth cousin up." ”
Qi Jingshu responded respectfully, and walked forward lightly to Fuyun Township Mrs. Hou and Miss Song Wu. Mrs. Yunxiang Hou was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to show too much in front of her sister-in-law, after all, she came here with a heavy responsibility today, so naturally she couldn't make her sister-in-law unhappy, she could ignore Qi Jingshu, the little concubine of the palace, but she couldn't help but give face to the princess and concubine of Prince Le, who spoke.
Song Jinni was not as calm as her mother, she only flashed indignantly, and said angrily in a low voice: "Go away, who is rare for you to help." Seeing this, Prince and Concubine Le couldn't help frowning slightly, she was a little unhappy with Song Jinni's arrogance, she liked a quiet and soft and well-behaved girl.
When Mrs. Yunxiang Hou saw that her daughter was in trouble, she immediately turned her head and reprimanded in a low voice: "Jinni is not allowed to be rude, and I don't want to apologize to your third cousin soon." ”
When Qi Jingshu heard this, she immediately smiled lightly and said softly: "Auntie, don't blame the fifth cousin, she is still young." ”
Mrs. Yunxiang Hou was choked by Qi Jingshu's words, you must know that Qi Jingshu is only more than three months older than Song Jinni, the two are born in a year, Miss Qi Jingshu of the palace knows how to be polite, but Song Jinni, who is as big as her, is willful, this contrast is really stark and makes Mrs. Yunxiang Hou embarrassed and wanted to hit the wall.
Song Jinni glared at Qi Jingshu fiercely, and then ran to Prince Le's side and said coquettishly: "Aunt Concubine, Ni'er misses you!" Grandmother misses you, too. ”
Prince Le's concubine gently patted the half-upturned face of her little niece and daughter, and said with a smile: "I can talk about it, and I say that I miss my aunt, but I haven't seen you coming." ”
Mrs. Yunxiang Hou hurriedly smiled and explained: "Isn't this noisy for your tranquility, since my mother and below, there is no one in our family who doesn't miss you, it's just ......"
Prince Le and Princess Le smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't say that, relatives have to move around to get married, although I have always been happy, but there is no overlord rule that does not let relatives come to the door, sister-in-law and the five girls are here, just take a good day." ”
The dispute over the Hubu Shangshu is in full swing, and Mrs. Yunxiang Hou is anxious about something, where is she in a mood, she just can't wait to see Qi Jinghuan immediately, let him speak in front of Emperor Zhaoming, and let Yunxiang Hou get the position of Hubu Shangshu.
"Sister Taifei, isn't Huan'er in the house? I don't know what happened to his body, Ni'er should say hello to her cousin. Mrs. Yunxiang Hou didn't see Qi Jinghuan coming, so she couldn't help but ask.
If Prince and Concubine Le hadn't heard her son say those things like avoiding suspicion just now, she would have to follow Mrs. Yunxianghou's wishes and order someone to invite her son to come over to meet her aunt and cousin, but just now she listened to the words full of men and women, and because Song Jinni was very arrogant and rude just now, Prince and Concubine Le suddenly didn't want her son to come over.
Prince Le's concubine has the intention of choosing a side concubine for her son among the younger generations of her mother's family, but this side concubine candidate cannot be Song Jinni. First, Song Jinni is the daughter of her eldest brother, and it sounds good to be the prince's side concubine, but in the end, she is not just a concubine, and she will have to serve the main room with a low level for the rest of her life, and the stakes of the Pingrong county lord are incomparable, and being a concubine under her hands is two words, not to mention being helped to be a princess. And Jinni has been pampered since she was a child, and the princess of Prince Le is reluctant to let her son be wronged and be Qi Jinghuan's side concubine, the first thing to bear the brunt of is to have a soft and gentle temperament, as for the appearance or anything, it doesn't matter, and Song Jinni obviously does not meet this requirement.
"The children have grown up, it doesn't matter if they were when they were young, they always have to avoid suspicion." Prince Le said with a smile, and did not let go of her son to come over.
Mrs. Yunxianghou's heart sank, she and her sister-in-law had different thoughts, she wanted her youngest daughter to marry into the Yunxiang Marquis Mansion, so even if she came for her husband to run for the official son, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou still brought her youngest daughter Song Jinni. It's just that she didn't expect to enter Prince Le's mansion, first a little concubine came out to greet their mother and daughter, and then was rejected by her sister-in-law to see Qi Jinghuan, which made Mrs. Yunxiang Hou add another layer of anger in her heart.
"That's right. Sister, my mother was unwell and couldn't come, and when she learned that her sister-in-law was going to see her sister, her mother also made eight treasure lotus paste cake for her sister by herself, and her mother said that her sister loved to eat the eight treasure lotus paste cake made by her old man. For the sake of her husband's future, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou had to suppress the anger in her heart, took a half-new and small three-layer plum blossom food box with silver-edged bamboo from the little maid who came with her, and said slowly to Prince Le.
When the princess and concubine heard this, she was really moved, and ordered the maid to take the food box and hold it in her hand, her fingers gently stroked a small deflated nest on the sterling silver border, and murmured: "Mother is not in good health, I can't serve the side is already unfilial, and I still worry about my mother's hard work, how can I live in my heart." "This three-layer plum blossom food box inlaid with silver and bamboo is an old thing, and the princess and princess of Le, who was still a little girl, had a troublesome affair and threw this food box to the ground and fell out of the small deflated nest. At that time, her father punished her for kneeling in the Buddha hall for this matter, and she was not allowed to eat for a day, and it was her eldest brother Song Shili who begged her mother to make eight treasure lotus paste cakes and secretly sent them to the Buddha Hall to fill her stomach. When Song Shili left the Buddhist hall, he was caught by his father and beaten up for it. Seeing this small snack box inlaid with silver and bamboo, Prince and Princess Le suddenly remembered the past.
Mrs. Yunxiang Hou secretly looked at her sister-in-law's expression, and when she saw that she had a look of remembrance on her face, she knew that she had done the right thing with this plum blossom food box for eight-treasure lotus paste cake.
"In order to protect me, my eldest brother was taught a lot by my father." Prince Le and Princess Le said to Mrs. Yunxiang Hou with a smile.
Mrs. Yunxianghou hurriedly smiled and said, "Look at what my sister said, he is your eldest brother, so he should protect you." Your eldest brother also teaches his son this way now, he has always said that as an elder brother, he must protect his sister and be his sister's support for a lifetime. ”
Prince and Concubine Le laughed when she heard this, and said softly: "Yes, the eldest brother said the same thing to me in the past. ”
Qi Jingshu sat quietly on the side, not making a sound at all, just listening quietly, she listened and secretly guessed why Mrs. Yunxianghou came here today, how did Qi Jingshu think that Mrs. Yunxianghou was very strange.
Song Jinni didn't know why her mother came, but when she heard that she was going to come to Prince Le's mansion, Song Jinni, who was just beginning to fall in love, thought of her handsome cousin like an immortal, so she begged her mother to bring her with her, and it was good to see her cousin. Mrs. Yunxiang Hou also wants her daughter to have more contact with Qi Jinghuan, in her opinion, her daughter is the most beautiful and lovely girl in the world, maybe Qi Jinghuan sees the good of her little cousin and intends to kiss or something, that is Song Jinni's creation. So he followed his daughter's mind and brought her to Prince Le's mansion.
didn't see her cousin, Song Jinni was already very unhappy in her heart, and seeing Qi Jingshu sitting opposite her with various pretenses, Song Jinni became more and more annoyed in her heart, and only snorted coldly from time to time. Mrs. Yunxiang Hou knew her daughter's temperament very well, and she was afraid that she would spoil the current good atmosphere, so she said to Prince Le and the princess: "Sister, let's talk about the past, I'm afraid that these two little girls are impatient to listen, so it is better to let the third young lady accompany Ni'er to the garden to stroll, so as not to make them depressed here." ”
Prince Le and Concubine Le originally asked Qi Jingshu to entertain Song Jinni, so naturally she didn't agree, Song Jinni was reluctant, but she was secretly glared at by her mother, Mrs. Yunxianghou, Song Jinni reluctantly got up and walked out with Qi Jingshu.
The two little girls walked out, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou was ready to cut to the point, she looked at the maids and grandmothers serving beside Prince Le and the princess, none of them were familiar, and she couldn't help but hesitate. She thought about it for a while and said to Prince Le: "I heard that the chrysanthemums in my sister's garden are blooming very well, I wonder if my sister-in-law can feast her eyes?" ”
Prince Le and Princess smiled and said, "Why not? Come on, go to the chrysanthemum garden to arrange, the palace and the uncle and wife are going to enjoy the flowers. ”
Everyone moved to the chrysanthemum garden, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou and Prince Le and Princess Le walked side by side, and the people followed not far away, so as long as Mrs. Yunxiang Hou didn't speak too loudly, the people couldn't hear anything clearly.
"Sister-in-law has something to say, just say it." Prince Le and Princess Le saw that her sister-in-law wanted to speak several times and stopped, so she whispered.
An embarrassed smile flashed on Mrs. Yunxianghou's face, and she said in a low voice: "My sister is not an outsider, so my sister-in-law said it directly." Sister, your eldest brother has been a member of the household department for seven years, he is upright and refuses to go with others, and has been suppressed by Lord Sun and cannot get ahead, and now Lord Sun has made a mistake, and the mountain that is pressing on your eldest brother's head can be regarded as gone. ”
Prince Le and Princess Le nodded with a smile and said, "How good is this, the eldest brother can be regarded as able to show his skills." ”
Mrs. Yunxiang Hou frowned and said: "Not necessarily, if you leave Master Sun, what will Master Li, Lord Zhou, Lord Liu, not the same as pressing on the top of your eldest brother's head, maybe suppressing your eldest brother will be more ruthless than Lord Sun." ”
Prince Le and Concubine Le never asked about the affairs of the court, and couldn't help frowning and said: "No, the emperor has only sent so many adults, and there are still people who dare to defy the wind?" The sister-in-law is too worried, as long as the eldest brother is loyal to the king, he will not be suppressed again. ”
Mrs. Yunxiang Hou scolded in her heart when she said this, "You stupid and stupid woman who doesn't know everything, I really don't know how you were favored by the royal family in the first place, except for a face, there is really no benefit, could it be that your mother-in-law only gave birth to your face, but she didn't give you a brain!" ”
scolded secretly in her heart, but Mrs. Yunxianghou did not show it at all, and frowned slightly to make a sad smile, and said worriedly: "It is because your eldest brother is loyal to the king that he will be suppressed, not because your sister-in-law praises your eldest brother in person, there are really few courtiers like him who are loyal to the king's affairs." There is a way that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and your eldest brother will ...... Alas......"
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with him, big brother?" Seeing that Mrs. Yunxiang Hou only said half of what she said, Prince Le and Princess asked anxiously, she still cared about her eldest brother Song Shili very much.
Mrs. Yunxiang Hou said in a low voice: "Now that the post of the head of the household department is vacant, your eldest brother has been a member of the household department for seven years, and now all the officials above him in the household department have committed crimes, and all the things in the huge household department are done by him alone, but the top did not give him a clear statement, yesterday I heard a news, saying that Lord Liu of the Ministry of Industry intends to seize the position of the household secretary, if he is made a household secretary, your eldest brother, who has been a household member for seven years, can be regarded as a loss of face. If you only lose your eldest brother's face, I'm just afraid that it will be bad for Huan'er. This matter spread, and people still have to say that the uncle of the prince is not as good as the brother of a little noble concubine, and the joke Huan'er has no ability, and he lost Huan'er's face, so how can we go in our hearts. ”
Mrs. Yunxiang Hou said such a specious way, which really touched Prince Le and Princess Le, and gave birth to the idea of letting her son beg for the eldest brother. I have to say that Mrs. Yunxiang Hou didn't misunderstand her sister-in-law, she really doesn't have a lot of brains.
"Sister-in-law, don't say that, the eldest brother is a talented person, his performance appraisal in the past few years has been very good, and he is an old man in the household department, how can outsiders be familiar with the household department, Ping Enhou wants the eldest brother to be strong, and it depends on whether our Prince Le's mansion agrees!" Prince Le and Princess Le said with a mouthful.
Mrs. Yunxiang Hou was secretly happy in her heart, the sister-in-law had already given Zhun Xin'er, thinking that her husband's promotion to the head of the household was just around the corner, and when her husband became the head of the household, she could also rely on her husband to become a second grade or even a first grade, and then walk around outside, which can also add some luster to this face. The more I thought about it, the better Mrs. Yunxiang Hou was, and the idleness she had just suffered was nothing, so she only chatted with Prince Le and Princess Le enthusiastically. The most important thing has been said, she can talk about some light-hearted topics at this time, and there will be no more new content to talk about between the women of the house except for clothes, jewelry, husbands, and children.
Mrs. Yunxianghou secretly compared, although the sister-in-law is in the position of the prince and concubine, but she is a young widow, guarding a sick and weak son to live a lonely life, the huge palace is just a luxurious and exquisite cage for her, and her parents are on the side of her cousin and husband, and they are both children and daughters, and now she even has grandchildren. Compared with her sister-in-law, she is really much happier, thinking of this, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou couldn't suppress the pride in her heart, and glanced at her sister-in-law with a slightly sympathetic look. When she spoke again, although her tone was soft, there was a faint feeling of extreme discomfort.
Prince and Concubine Le are not scheming people, but they are not far away and follow the maid Chunying who is serving, and she listens to the words of Mrs. Yunxiang Hou, and she can't help but be moved, and secretly moved her mind.
Mrs. Yunxiang Hou and her sister-in-law had a good conversation, but her daughter got along with Qi Jingshu, the third lady of Prince Le's mansion, not only did she get along unpleasantly, but she could even almost be described as having a bad relationship.
As soon as the two little girls came out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, Miss Song Wu pointed at Qi Jingshu and ordered arrogantly: "You are also worthy of accompanying me, why don't you hurry back to your aunt's side, I have lowered my identity!" ”
Qi Jingshu was originally very cowardly, but with the encouragement of her brother-in-law Qi Jinghuan, Qi Jingshu is now less inferior, how can she say that she is now the only lady in Prince Le's mansion, in addition to her mother, Prince Le's concubine and brother Qi Jinghuan, she Qi Jingshu's status is noble, if she is a concubine, then she is a dignified county lord, even if she is a concubine, when she comes out of the cabinet, she is indispensable for the title of a county lord. What reason does she have in front of Song Jinni to be unconfident.
"Miss Five, don't hurt people, my dignified Miss Le Prince's Mansion can't help you to drink around." Qi Jingshu replied coldly with a straight face, and the angry Song Jinni was furious, and shouted without thinking about it: "You are just a little slut born to a concubine, and you dare to come to ask for the strength of my Houfu's concubine!" ”
Qi Jingshu knew her identity as a concubine since she came, and she didn't feel that there was anything to be ashamed of this identity, not to mention that Concubine Li was also a jade disc with a grade, and she was qualified to hand a sign into the palace to ask for peace, and although Song Jinni was the daughter of the Hou Mansion, she had no grade or rank, and if she didn't have her mother with her, she wouldn't even be able to enter the palace gate.
"Miss Song Wu, you say that I can not care, but you can't insult my biological mother, the dignified concubine of Prince Le's mansion." Qi Jingshu scolded Song Jinni angrily with a straight face, and at this moment, she finally reflected the majesty of Miss Wangfu.
"Hmph, what side concubine Niangniang, she is not a slave in front of my aunt!" Song Jinni has never been willing to suffer, and he will never let people go. Even if she is a little weak in her heart, she has to harden her mouth to the end.
Song Jinni didn't know that she and Qi Jingshu were stumbling in the garden, and Qi Jinghuan on the Changfeng Pavilion near Zezhi Garden looked at her. Although Qi Jinghuan couldn't hear what his little sister said to Song Jinni, he could see that Song Jinni was imposing, and his sister was obviously wronged.
"Tian Shou, go to the treasury and send the set of red gold inlaid red treasure butterfly lotus head jewelry that the Queen Mother rewarded this spring to the third lady, and immediately send it to the third lady. Qi Jinghuan said lightly, his memory has always been excellent, a while ago he looked at the account books of the inventory, and all the things in the warehouse were in his heart.
He said that the head of the lotus is a complete set of thirteen pieces of jewelry, and the ruby inlaid on it is of excellent color, and there are twenty or thirty pieces of moyo, the smallest one is also the size of a grain of rice, and the largest one is larger than the lotus seed, which is the craftsmanship of the palace office, which is extremely exquisite and luxurious. When the Queen Mother appreciated the jewelry presented by the manufacturing office, Qi Jinghuan happened to be present, and he only casually praised the good face of this set of colorful butterflies and lotuses, and the Queen Mother immediately rewarded the set of jewelry to Prince Le's mansion.
Tian Shou answered, ran down quickly, and after a while, Tian Shou came to Qi Jingshu and Song Jinni with a large red sandalwood box.
"The little one, please Miss Three, Miss Five, Miss Ann." Tian Shou held the box and saluted. Qi Jingshu hurriedly smiled and said, "Come on, but Brother Wang has something to do, the mother and the eldest lady have gone to the back garden to enjoy the chrysanthemums." Song Jinni looked at the weighty red sandalwood box, thinking that it was something given to her by her cousin, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little eager.
Tian Shou hurriedly shook his head and said, "If you go back to the third lady, the prince ordered the servants to come and send you something." The prince just remembered that there was a jewelry in the library with red gold inlaid with red treasure and colorful butterfly and lotus that was very suitable for you to wear, so he ordered the slave to hurry over, and the third lady asked for a look. Tian Shou opened the red sandalwood box as he spoke, only to see the brilliant treasure light shining out, and the person who reflected it could hardly open his eyes.
Qi Jingshu and Song Jinni both shook their eyes, and the two of them took half a step back and squinted slightly, which can be regarded as seeing the jewelry in the box clearly. The top one is a golden hairpin and a pair of butterfly steps.
Song Jinni could see clearly, the hairpin head of the golden hairpin was the size of a palm, a half-opened lotus flower was surrounded by Tiantian lotus leaves, the bright red flower core was faintly visible, a pair of light butterflies were parked on the lotus petals, the breeze blew, the soft red gold whiskers and the light butterfly wings fluttered gently, as if the pair of butterflies could fly in the wind at any time.
Under the golden hairpin, there is a pair of butterfly-shaped step rocks, this pair of steps is not much gold, just with a thin gold sheet as a support, with a ruby inlaid butterfly body, each step of the five strings of tassels are connected with a very fine gold chain of several butterfly-shaped gold tray set rubies, only the size of a grain of rice rubies makes this pair of gorgeous butterfly steps more light and lively, but also more suitable for the little girl to wear.
Qi Jing was dumbfounded, and muttered, "This is all for me?" ”
Tian Shou immediately bowed down and replied: "Miss Huisan's words, aren't they all for you, the prince said, we only have you in the palace now, but you are honorable, this is the queen mother's reward to the palace, it is suitable for you to wear." ”
As soon as Qi Jingshu heard this, could it be that her royal brother knew what had happened just now so quickly, she instinctively looked up at Changfeng Pavilion, which was the closest high place to Zezhi Garden. Sure enough, she saw a pale silver-purple figure. Qi Jingshu knew that her royal brother had been very fond of faint silver-purple recently, and the person who thought that the person who came to the Changfeng Pavilion must be her royal brother.
Brother Wang supported himself to make a face, which made Qi Jingshu very moved, she immediately took the box and handed it to her maid, and then said to Tian Shou's jaw: "Brother Wang has a heart, you will reply to Brother Wang on my behalf, and say that I will go and thank him in person when I go back." ”
Tian Shou bowed down and responded with a smile, and said: "Third Miss is polite, you are the only sister of the prince, and the prince naturally thinks of you." The minion will not bother you and Miss Five, and the minion will retire. ”
Qi Jingshu nodded, and Tian Shou retreated. Seeing that Tian Shou walked away, Qi Jingshu said lightly: "Qingmei, you send this box back to the Rose Garden first, and then come to serve." The maid named Qingmei hurriedly responded, and happily walked away with the light red sandalwood box.
Song Jinni saw this scene, her nose was a little crooked, and she was not stupid, so she could naturally see that this was her cousin deliberately stepping on her face to make a face for that little slut. Song Jinni, who was already full of arrogance, was already angry and out of her mind, and she didn't care that there were still many people from the palace standing next to her, so she only angrily pushed Qi Jingshu to the lotus pond next to her......
Qi Jingshu was defenseless at all, and was immediately pushed into the lotus pond by Song Jinni. She didn't know anything about water at all, so she only struggled on the surface of the water and called "help...... twice" before sinking to the bottom.
"Ah...... The third lady ...... "All of a sudden, all of a sudden, everyone panicked, and there were a few more "plops" between the crowding and pushing...... Plop ...... "Several people were squeezed into the water.
Song Jinni was also stupid after pushing Qi Jingshu into the water, and after being stunned for a moment, she hugged her head and shouted, "Ahh......hhh
In the midst of this chaos, a particularly loud "plop" sound sounded, a big splash appeared on the water surface, everyone followed the sound to look, only to see that the splash has not completely dissipated, a head from the water splash three feet away from the place exposed, with the appearance of the head, another head also appeared on the water, sharp-eyed people recognized it at a glance, that is not the third miss!
It turned out that a maid who knew how to water just now took the initiative to jump down and rescued the third lady very smoothly. After some panic, the subordinates also came to their senses, and each returned to their respective positions, and when the little maid brought Qi Jingshu to the shore, the subordinates who had prepared the cloak and other things immediately wrapped the third lady tightly with a big cloak, and the maid who saved the young lady also got a cloak to wrap her body in order to resist the slightly chilly autumn wind.
The housekeeper in Zezhi Garden's frightened face turned green, the third miss is no longer favored, and the third miss is the master's miss, and the third miss who fell into the water is the favorite niece of the concubine Niangniang, what can she do? Is it telling the truth or covering up for Miss Five Tables, so many people just now saw that Miss Five Tables deliberately pushed Miss Three into the water, but how to cover it up?
Just when the housekeeper was in a dilemma, the princess of Prince Le and Mrs. Yunxianghou who got the news immediately rushed over, even if she didn't like Qi Jingshu anymore, she was also the third lady of the palace, and it happened in Zezhiyuan, of course Prince Le didn't want to bear the notoriety of being a mean concubine, so she had to deal with this matter carefully.
As soon as Song Jinni saw her mother-in-law coming, she threw herself into her mother's arms and cried, and when she saw the inside story, she would definitely think that Qi Jingshu had bullied Song Jinni, and Song Jinni didn't know how much she had been wronged.
When Mrs. Yunxiang Hou saw that her daughter was crying, she immediately felt distressed, and only hugged her daughter tightly and comforted: "Ni'er doesn't cry, your concubine and aunt will definitely make decisions for you." The subordinate who went to report was vague, only saying that the third miss fell into the water, and Miss Table was frightened, and did not say how the third miss fell into the water, so Mrs. Yunxiang Hou didn't know the truth of the matter, and because she had always looked down on the concubine's heart knot, so Mrs. Yunxiang Hou preconceived that the third lady of the palace bullied her daughter, although Qi Jingshu was the one who fell into the water.
Seeing that Qi Jingshu's lips were blue and her whole body was trembling, her brows were furrowed tightly, and she ordered someone to cook ginger soup immediately, and asked someone to go to the Rose Garden to get clothes, but she couldn't let Qi Jingshu reply in wet clothes.
After a while, the flustered Concubine Li rushed over with her daughter's full set of clothes, she hurriedly greeted the princess, and knelt down to beg to take care of her daughter. Prince Le's concubine naturally agreed, and ordered someone to take Concubine Li to the West Courtyard to take care of Li Jingshu.
Li Jingshu simply freshened up, changed into clean clothes, and drank a bowl of thick ginger soup, and her complexion eased, and Concubine Li went to Dongnuan Pavilion with her daughter. Because Li Jingshu quietly said something to her mother, Concubine Li did not make a fuss as Mrs. Yunxiang Hou imagined after coming to Dongnuan Pavilion, but stood aside with her head slightly bowed, except for the endless grievances in her expression, Concubine Li no longer had anything inappropriate.
During the time when Li Jingshu was bathing and changing, Prince and Princess Le had already understood the whole story. Although she was very angry at her niece's rudeness and rudeness, she had to raise it high and put it down gently because of her sister-in-law's kneeling and crying, after all, if Song Jinni was to be known for pushing people into the water, Song Jinni would be not the only one, but the reputation of all the young ladies in Yunxiang Houfu would be ruined, and don't think about having a good family.
"Third girl, is there anything uncomfortable, do you want your mother to ask Mr. Du to check your pulse?" Prince Le's concubine spoke to Qi Jingshu in such a kind tone for the first time, the purpose was naturally to not let Qi Jingshu make a big deal about this matter and hurt the dignity of the Yunxiang Marquis Mansion.
Qi Jingshu couldn't understand it in her heart, she stepped forward and bowed, her body was still trembling slightly, few young ladies who had lived in the boudoir for a long time were in good health, and Qi Jingshu was no exception, although she changed her dry clothes and drank ginger soup in time, but she also suffered from some wind and cold. "Thank you for your concern, Jingshu is fine, don't bother Mr. Du."
Prince and Concubine Le nodded, Qi Jingshu's attitude was deferential and her words were kind, but it didn't seem like she was going to make a big fuss with Song Jinni, which made Prince and Princess Le very satisfied.
"The palace knows what happened just now, and it's all your fifth cousin's fault, and your eldest aunt will definitely punish her heavily." Prince and Concubine Le said slowly, and glanced at Mrs. Yunxiang Hou when she spoke.
Mrs. Yunxiang Hou understood, and immediately pushed her daughter and said, "Ni'er, don't apologize to your third cousin soon." ”
Song Jinni walked up to Qi Jingshu very reluctantly, blessed her body indiscriminately without any sincerity, and said in a rough voice: "I'm sorry." ”
Qi Jingshu did not evade, calmly accepted Song Jinni's salute, and then said lightly: "Fifth cousin, today is the foolish sister who fell into the water, even if this matter is in the past, the foolish sister only hopes that the fifth cousin must remember today's events in the future, and don't be so reckless anymore." ”
Song Jinni gritted his teeth angrily, but he had to respond with a "yes", but he hated Qi Jingshu in his heart, even if this beam was concluded like this.
Mrs. Yunxiang Hou was also very angry, but she had to play a round and say: "Ni'er, what your third cousin said is a golden jade, you have to remember it firmly!" ”
After the incident of her daughter pushing the master's house into the water, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou had no face to stay any longer, so she could only quickly get up and leave, and the princess and concubine of Prince Le did not stay for a while, so she ordered someone to send the mother and daughter out of the house.
As soon as Mrs. Yunxianghou's mother and daughter left, Qi Jinghuan came to Zezhi Garden, and when he arrived, he saw his mother-in-law rewarding his sister-in-law. It turned out that Prince Le and the princess saw that Qi Jingshu was very interested, and she was very satisfied, and she was much more generous as soon as she was satisfied, and rewarded Qi Jingshu with two sets of head and face jewelry, four brightly colored Shixin tribute satins, and also gave two antique treasures, Qi Jingshu can be regarded as full of them.
Seeing that her son was coming, Prince Le and Concubine Le didn't bother to pay attention to the concubine, and ordered someone to take a bag of bird's nest and hand it to Concubine Li, so that she could take Qi Jingshu back to the Rose Garden to raise her body. After hurriedly sending Qi Jingshu away, Prince Le and Princess Le smiled at her son and said, "Huan'er, my mother is looking for you for something." ”
A strange smile appeared on Qi Jinghuan's face, and he said mockingly: "Mother wants to talk to her son about fighting for the household book for the eldest uncle, right?" ”
Prince Le and Princess Le exclaimed: "That's exactly what happened, how did you know about Huan'er?" ”
Qi Jinghuan looked around, walked quickly to the west wall and took off the sword hanging on the wall, walked to his mother's side with a hand, pulled out the sword with a loud voice, and handed the hilt to his mother's hand, "Mother, you killed your son with a sword!" ”
Prince Le and Concubine Le were shocked, took two steps back, and shouted with wide eyes: "Huan'er, what are you messing about, put down the sword quickly...... You are your mother's flesh and bones, and your mother would rather die than have anything to do with you, how can you do this! ”
Qi Jinghuan put the sword on the table, and said: "Mother, the reason why the imperial uncle loves me so much is because I have never asked about political affairs, and now you want your son to be the eldest uncle and important official, which is equivalent to taking food from the mouth of the imperial uncle, you also know that the heavenly family has no flesh and blood, what is the difference between you doing this and forcing your son to die, instead of being tied to the court in the future, it is better for you to kill your son with a sword, and your son can be regarded as dying in his own home, so as to leave a little dignity and dignity." ”
"You...... You...... Monkey business! It's not okay if my mother doesn't let you do this, why do you scare your mother like this! Prince Le and Concubine Le cried, at this time, she still had the heart to think about her mother's eldest brother being the head of the household department, and her eyes were full of only Qi Jinghuan, the biological only seedling Miao......
Qi Jinghuan listened to his mother's words, and then said in a relaxed voice: "Mother, you rarely go out, and you don't know much about things outside, think about it, what an important position the six books are, of course the imperial uncle wants to let go of the people he believed, if the son intervenes in this matter, it will definitely make the imperial uncle feel disgusted, and at that time, our palace will not have such a transcendent status as it is now." How good it is for us to live our lives freely behind closed doors, why bother so much with it! ”
Prince and Princess Le were very frightened by her son, where did she still have the heart to think carefully, she could only say what her son said. Qi Jinghuan couldn't help nodding when he saw his mother's kiss, knowing that he had bluffed his mother's kiss, and he was slightly relieved.
"Mother, just now the fifth cousin pushed Jingshu into your lotus pond, I don't know what you did with it?" Qi Jinghuan asked knowingly.
Prince Le frowned and said, "Don't say that, Huan'er, your cousin Jinni is not a heart, but she accidentally hit the third girl into the water." ”
Qi Jinghuan's face was slightly gloomy, and he said lightly: "Mother, my son has been on the Changfeng Pavilion just now, how did the fifth cousin push Jingshu into the water, and my son can see it clearly." You have to take into account the dignity of your uncle's family, this son can understand, but you can't let the fifth cousin slap the face of our palace like this, Jing Shu is also one of the masters of the palace no matter what she says. She was pushed into the water by her fifth cousin, and it was not her face that was lost, but the dignity of our palace. ”
Prince Le and Princess Le asked a little angrily, "Huan'er, what do you want to do?" It's not just your cousin's face, it's the decency of all your cousins and cousins in your grandfather's family. Is it going to ruin the reputation of all your cousins? ”
Qi Jinghuan frowned and waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, my son doesn't have this intention, but I just want to ask your fifth cousin what kind of punishment she will receive after she does something wrong?" ”
Prince and Concubine Le were speechless for a while, just now Mrs. Yunxiang Hou left in a hurry with her daughter, and she never said anything about how to deal with Song Jinni, how could she say it at this time.
Qi Jinghuan was very disappointed when he saw that his mother was speechless, he had a feeling at this time, that was his mother-in-law who valued his mother's family more seriously than Prince Le's mansion, and this realization made Qi Jinghuan very unhappy.
Prince Le was silent for a moment and then hurriedly said: "Huan'er, my mother will order someone to go to your uncle's house to report to your grandmother, your grandmother has always been fair and strict, and she will definitely punish Jinni heavily." ”
Prince Le and Princess Le know
Qi Jinghuan was not very satisfied when he heard this, and only said in a deep voice: "Mother, this matter is related to the decency of the two mansions, and it is more solemn for Liang Changshi to take a trip according to his son." ”
Prince Le and Concubine Le knew that as soon as Liang Shu went to the Yunxiang Hou Mansion, this matter would make a big fuss, at least in the Yunxiang Hou Mansion, but she couldn't object to her son's suggestion, after all, what her son said was reasonable.
"Huan'er, if you want Liang Changshi to go, let him go, just don't be so direct, your grandmother has a spring and autumn period, and she can't be stimulated." Prince Le and Princess Le explained in embarrassment.
Qi Jinghuan nodded and agreed, in fact, he didn't plan to let Liang Shu go to see his grandmother, he just talked to his eldest uncle. I think his uncle will know how to deal with this matter.
