Chapter 18: The Birthday Feast

In the West Flower Hall, full of fresh fruits and flowers, the crown princess sat in the middle, accepting the congratulations of the fortunes and daughters of various prefectures, and everyone's faces were beaming. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info Qingyue didn't want to get involved, but the crown princess Guerjia insisted on Qingyue to serve, Qingyue had to stand behind the princess, and it turned out that it was also risky to be appreciated.

"The courtesy Nala congratulates the crown princess on her birthday, and I wish you a long and happy life." Four blessings and congratulations.

Qingyue's scalp is numb, know yes!

"The courtier, Guo Luoluo, congratulates the crown princess for a thousand years." Guanyin figure goes up and salutes.

Qingyue got goosebumps all over her body, and she also knew this.

"The younger brother Zhaojia visited the crown princess and congratulated the princess on her birthday."

Qingyue glanced at this noble lady with complicated eyes, she was the one who snatched her lollipop away, she was really beautiful, like a hibiscus fairy.

After standing for a whole hour, the people who should have come have finally finished, Qingyue felt that her legs no longer seemed to grow on her body, and when the last woman bowed, the crown princess finally went to change her clothes.

Qingyue took advantage of this opportunity to find a secluded place and beat her legs against the tree.

"Yo, it seems that this high branch is not easy to stand!"

Qingyue gritted her teeth and suppressed the fire, leaned over and saluted: "Say hello to the Blessed Jin!" ”

"Don't dare to be, you will have to rely on Miss Qingyue in the future~" Guanyin said in a weird way.

Beatitude Jin teased. If Fujin is fine, I will go to the front and wait. ”

Syllable! Bafujin gave Qingyue a slap in the face.

"What do you want to do?" Qingyue covered her face and asked angrily.

"This is for the eighth master."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't think I don't know, since you are the eighth master's outer house, you shouldn't bear him."

"You're so ridiculous, it was the eighth master who gave me to the prince."

"Qingyue, your heart is too big. If you didn't want to come, the eighth master would never let go. ”

"That's also a matter between me and the eighth master. What are you? Happy or hateful? ”

"I tolerated him stealing you outside, but you betrayed him! Make him sad! ”

"Fujin, your biggest problem is that you don't understand the eighth master, so you will never get his heart!"

Guanyintu slapped again, but this time it was empty, and Qingyue returned a slap to Guanyintu with a backhand!

"You, you dare to hit me."

"Yes, I beat it, it was you who hurt the eighth master! The eighth master is blamed by the saint, and you are also half of the responsibility, and I am also fighting for the eighth master. ”

Guanyin covered his face, and tears fell at some point.

"You are so self-conscious, the eighth master is your sky, the sky is falling, what is the use of you fighting again?"

Qingyue left this sentence and left without looking back. Walking to the corner gate, Baozhen looked at Qingyue angrily. Qingyue didn't have time to pay attention to her, looked around, and there was no one, so she left with confidence.

Qingyue turned into the main hall.

"Second sister-in-law, your flowers are so special, you actually pay homage to your birthday, it's really smart."

"That's it, that's it, the cats we raise, the dogs won't, they will only eat."

"Who let me have a good girl, in the past, Huahua would only eat and drink. Later, Qingyue came, handed it over to Qingyue, and in a month's time, Huahua would do anything. ”

"We want to see the second sister-in-law's clever girl." A round-faced Fu Jin coaxed.

"Qingyue, you come out to ask for peace for each Fujin."

Qingyue had no choice but to pretend to be very well-behaved to greet everyone Fujin.

"Yo, in the end, the crown princess will pick someone, this person is still a jade person."

"Yes, this gentle and well-behaved appearance, no wonder the crown princess loves you."

"Who did you learn the skill of dog training?"

"Back to the master, no one has taught me, I just like to play with Huahua, which makes the masters laugh."

"How old are you? When did you enter the house? ”

"Back to the master, the slave and maid are sixteen years old this year, and they have just entered the house."

"Tsk, I think you can not only pick people, but also train people, this person who has just entered the mansion has been trained so well by you, so aren't those old people top-notch?"

"None of you came out of everyone, and the people who brought it out, no one will be worse than me, just look at me for the sake of the birthday star and make me happy." The crown princess took a sip of tea.

"Look at what you say,......"

The house is full of laughter and laughter, just like this room full of flowers, but there are always flowers when they bloom, I don't know if there is such icing on the cake when the house is full of withering?

Qingyue is floating in the godsβ€”"Qingyue, bring Huahua down." ”

Qingyue came back to her senses from the divine float, "Huh", and hugged the dog down while answering.

met Han Bing on the way, Qingyue passed by her, and the two didn't even raise their eyes to look at each other.

When I turned to the kennel, there were two women standing there, one in light green and the other in aqua blue.

"Qingyue, this is my godsister, I'll take her to see Huahua, you let Huahua behave well." Dressed in aqua blue was the prince's maid, who commanded in the tone of a master.

Qing Yue just wanted to refuse, but glanced at the owner of the light green clothes, and almost bit off her tongue.

Su Mo'er!

If Mei Shuang comes, then they can get together a table! Qingyue's sweat.

"Hey, is this dog as fun as you say?" Su Mo'er deliberately turned her head not to see the moon clearly, and asked in a loud voice about the blue clothes.

"Of course, Qingyue, you hurry up and put the dog down and let it worship us."

"Who is this? I looked at it. Qingyue asked coldly.

"Didn't I tell you? She's my godsister, and she's the big girl of the Fourteenth Fortune now. ”

"Hehe, still a girl? I thought it was the real master, why bother putting such a big score. Qingyue deliberately angered Su Mo'er.

"I serve the master, unlike some people who serve the master's dog, and if you stay with the dog too much, you will fight with the dog!" Su Mo'er is still the same as before.

"Qingyue! You are presumptuous! The aqua blue clothes glared angrily.

"Who the hell is the dog fighting the human power? Who is the fox and the tiger? Why do you command me? Don't I know who the real master of this house is? ”

"Okay, you Qingyue, you remember today for me!" Aqua Blue's face turned pale, "Harmony, let's go!" Shui Lan pulled Su Mo'er's head and left without looking back.

Harmony? Qingyue didn't smile and turned her back on it. Su Mo'er's new name is so ironic! If Su Mo'er can be called harmony, then ** can be used as a spokesperson for peace.

Qingyue put down Huahua, held her chin and looked at Huahua in a daze, the puppy was very understanding, felt that Qingyue was unhappy, and teased Qingyue with joy, Qingyue was almost moved to death, the dog's simplicity, the dog's kindness, and the dog's loyalty, made Qingyue feel a little guilty, she used Huahua to get close to the princess, and then achieve her own goals, and the dog treated herself wholeheartedly, Yinxiang, are you okay? No, no, Huahua is Huahua, Yinxiang is Yinxiang, people and dogs can't be compared, if Thirteen Children's Shoes knows that he is compared to a certain dog...... (Yinxiang was in the household, and he felt that his ears were hot and uncomfortable...... Qingyue took out Huahua's favorite rattan ball, and Huahua stuck out her tongue excitedly and circled around Qingyue. Qingyue was infected by it, and happily threw the rattan ball out, and Flowey jumped out happily.

"Eh, whose dog?" A familiar voice rang out.

Qingyue screams to the sky~, don't make your wish come true! Don't make it happen! Don't make it happen!

But she was definitely not an auditory hallucination, and Qingyue had no choice but to go to Huahua in the danger of a huge thunder explosion. In the West Garden, Mei Shuang and Xiao Rong shrank at the base of the wall, looking at Huahua tremblingly, Huahua didn't know why, she barked at Xiao Rong vigorously.

It's all together, Qingyue smiled bitterly, could it be that she really asked them to get together a table to see who could win?

"Flowey, come back quickly!" Qingyue greets.

Huahua looked at Qingyue and turned her head to look at Xiao Rong, standing in the middle and refusing to come back.

Qingyue was a little strange, after two months of training, Huahua had already listened to her own words.

"Flowey, come here." Qingyue took out the fried sparrow bones to attract Huahua, but Huahua was still stunned in the middle.

Qingyue was a little at a loss, she didn't understand why Huahua was so abnormal, so she had to run over and pick up Huahua.

"Thank you, Jiang Qing." Mei Shuang whispered.

Jiang Qing! Qingyue had begun to become familiar with the name Qingyue, forgetting that she also had a name named Jiang Qing, this was her original self, and something in her heart began to collapse.

"You're welcome, Xiaorong, I think we'd better be careful." Qingyue said in a low voice. "What's on you? Why does Flowey keep an eye on you? Qingyue asked.

"No, nothing." Xiao Rong was a little flustered.

Although Qingyue has doubts, for Xiao Rong, after all, she is her former friend, and she is reluctant to explore her secrets, because she is the same as herself, and she can't help herself. Every time, every step is accompanied by fear! The fear of being discovered, that deep sense of fear is remembered in life like a knife and an axe!

"Then I'll go, take care of yourself." Huahua wanted to break free from Qingyue's arms, but Qingyue struggled to hold it down. "They're there too, you have to keep your composure." Qingyue reminded Xiao Rong in a low voice.

Xiao Rong was stunned in place, and quickly understood what Qingyue was talking about, with a panicked face.

Qingyue shook her head inwardly, eh, this Nizi, I don't know if it's exposed? Even if she is exposed, I hope she doesn't betray her "comrade", after all, Fei Seyao is a cold-blooded animal, and the big boss Kangxi in the background will definitely not show mercy, and the future Uncle Yongzheng - Yinzhen, it's already terrible if he doesn't do anything, he wants to do something, it must be super super scary!

Qingyue put Huahua back in the kennel in a mess, bolted the door, and left depressedly, a bad thought flashed through her mind - something is going to happen, something big is going to happen!

Sure enough, sure enough, the hunch was right!

Huahua died, and was hung on the Shoutang, the corpse swayed on the Shoutang as if to demonstrate to someone, and when all the women poured into the Shoutang with laughter, it was as if the throat had been cut collectively, and it was immediately quiet.

The crown princess didn't have the kind of psychological quality of Guanyintu, so she fell down at that time, and everyone immediately got busy as if they got a signal. Some shouted for the heavens and the earth to shout for the imperial doctor, some called the eunuch, and some reprimanded the slaves...... A good Shoutang is like boiling water, tossing up and down, making a disturbing sound. Qingyue unknowingly cried, Flowey, a friend, was killed by an unknown reason, but this is just the beginning, the signal of the killing game, who will be next?

The prince rushed over, looked at Huahua's corpse with gloomy eyes, was silent for a while, and calmly ordered: "Come on, lock up all the minions who are serving in Shoutang today!" ”

The women found various reasons to say goodbye to the side Fujin Guerjia clan, and fled from this place of right and wrong as quickly as possible as if there was a plague in the prince's mansion. The Prince's Mansion, which was quiet, looked particularly sad in the twilight.

Qingyue went to the bedroom to surprise the princess, the princess leaned on the collapse weakly, tears stained with jade face, saw Qingyue come in, and beckoned Qingyue to come over.

"The slave and maid are derelict in their duties, please punish the master." Qingyue knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Where's Flowey? You're going to bury it properly. The crown princess wiped her tears sadly.

"The slave and maid have already put it back in the circle, and later the slave and maid will do as the master wants."

"It's been with me for five years...... Forget it. ”

Qingyue knew what the crown princess had omitted, although it could be summed up in four words - deep resentment of a woman, but a woman's whole life was spent waiting at the door, which has to be said to be a kind of torture, physical and mental torture. And what can bring her a little comfort has also been wiped out in the cruel palace struggle, and I am afraid that the crown princess will not have a dog in the future.

"The son gives the mother concubine Dao'an." Honghui's voice sounded outside the door.

"Get up, and you'll take care of me to comb my hair from now on." The crown princess commanded.

Qingyue stood up and silently retreated to the back. Next, Honghui came in and said something, Qingyue didn't hear it, her thoughts flew to the scene where Shui Lan'er and Su Mo'er met, and flew to the weirdness of meeting Mei Shuang, the two of them, who did it? Mei Shuang is afraid of dogs, and she wants her to strangle Huahua by herself, I'm afraid it's unlikely, but Huahua's aberration proves that Xiaorong does have an ulterior secret? It is not impossible to keep it secret in addition to Huahua. Besides, just because she can't do it herself doesn't mean she won't find someone to do it; Strangling Huahua is very similar to Su Mo'er's style, vicious and unscrupulous, and there is an aqua blue to do internal response, there is a great chance of hanging Huahua on the Shoutang, but it doesn't take such a big move to retaliate against himself. From this point of view, it doesn't look like it's done for yourself. Against the Crown Princess? The crown princess has a cowardly personality, and there is no need for other side Fujin and Yan Fujin. Against the Prince? In addition to brushing the prince's face and giving the prince some threats, it has no impact on the court situation, and the means are somewhat naΓ―ve and clumsy. Who exactly is this for? What do you want to do? Ah~ Which one of the two hundred and five who is not up to the grade did it? Qingyue tried her best to figure it out.

"Qi Qi master, the prince is punishing the slaves and maids who are serving in Shoutang today, and the slaves are bold, I am afraid that they will cause trouble."

"What?" The crown princess sat up from the sickbed and got out of bed in a panic: "Someone, wait for me to go to the front." ”

Qingyue hurriedly stepped forward to help the crown princess, she also wanted to know why.

When I arrived in the front yard, the crackling and beating were incessant, but I couldn't hear the slightest wailing. Turning the doorway, I saw the prince sitting on a nanmu chair with his eyes closed, and eight people lying on the eight benches below, four men and four women were already blurred with flesh and blood, and everyone fainted.

"Stop!" The crown princess shouted.

The executioners all stopped and looked at the princess, who was still recuperating with his eyes closed.

The crown princess knelt at the feet of the prince and pleaded: "Prince, it's not the concubines who refute your face, you can't blame them for today's incident." ”

"And who am I to blame?" The prince finally spoke, his eyes still closed.

"You've been punished, and I think they know they're wrong, so just stop there."

"I want to stop, but some people don't want to stop."

"Prince Qiyu, Yan'er can't be punished, and she is so angry that she died." A report of an executing eunuch.

"Master, I beg you to be a concubine." The crown princess pleaded anxiously.

"Come on, take the princess down." Yinren finally opened his eyes.

The crown princess looked at Yinren desperately, her eyes were lonely and sad, which made people look very unbearable, but the prince's eyes were very resolute, and there was no pity at all.

"Prince, forgive the slaves and maids, please look at the face that today is the birthday of the crown princess, and you will fulfill the benevolent heart of the master." Qingyue knelt behind the crown princess.

"Hehe, a slave dares to take care of me, there is no royal law in this prince's mansion." Yinren's green muscles jumped violently.

"The slave doesn't dare, but if you do this, it won't be useful to make people stumble, but let outsiders say that you are mean and vicious."

"What did you say?" Yinren couldn't believe that someone dared to talk to him like this, and this person was sent by the old eight, she should protect herself, shouldn't she?

The faces of the people around him all changed.

"Prince, do you want to be calculated by a villain?" Qingyue asked.

"You're the one who serves the dogs, aren't you?" The prince asked through gritted teeth.

"Yes, it is the slave servant."

"Come on, drag Qingyue down and torture her."

"Huh."

"Wait, Prince, the concubine is leaving, please don't embarrass Qingyue anymore." The crown princess stopped in front of Qing Yue.

"You're bold!" Yinren reprimanded the crown princess.

"Prince, the slave has no other meaning, but you should think twice before doing anything, you are good at playing chess, and you know the truth that you will lose the whole game if you accidentally make a move. Slaves and maidservants have a small life, and there is nothing to regret when they die. After speaking, Qingyue kowtowed, turned around and walked to the torture instrument.

Lying on the stool, Qingyue felt unparalleled humiliation, the board fell down one by one, Qingyue knew what it was, she bit her lip hard and endured it, compared to the previous mother's "fried meat with bamboo shoots" was completely pity. Thinking of this, Qingyue cried "wow", and shouted in her mouth: "Mom~, Mom~, I miss you, Mom~"

The prince was stunned, Mom? Mom? She, she's calling Eniang!

"Like what, the devil cries wolf!" The prince angrily rebuked.

"Yes, minion, that's it." An executing eunuch took out a rope and was about to strangle Qingyue's mouth.

"Idiot, shit, did I let you do that?"

The eunuch who executed him was stunned, not knowing what to do.

The crown princess understood, and hurriedly beckoned Mama to carry Qingyue back.

"Prince, what do you think of the rest of the people?"

"Go, go, I'm going to rest." The prince angrily kicked away the eunuch who had returned.

Yinren returned to the study and lay on the bed. Clear Moon! No wonder the eighth sent you over, you are too powerful.

After his uncle's death, Yinren often wondered, if E-Niang was here, would Huang Ama still treat him like this? I heard my uncle say that Huang Ama loves Eniang very much, and because of this, although Eniang died early, relying on this solid emotional foundation, he was able to sit in this position at the age of two. In the past, when he was favored by Huang Ama, Yinren's thoughts about Huang Eniang were diluted, but when the holy favor was far away, Yinren often thought of the Huang Eniang who had never met. He has had everything since he was born, even the rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty, and the only thing he doesn't have is Eniang. As for the other concubines, they have always been pleasing themselves, when he was a child he enjoyed their please, and one day he understood that they were not pleasing themselves, they were pleasing the emperor Amma, and then they were paving the way for their sons, the purpose was to pull himself down from the position of the crown prince, and when he thought of this, he was tired and angry with women. Women are just playthings, no different from Xuande furnace, Jun porcelain, coral, jade, Zhou Ding, etc., as long as you have money and power, you can buy it......

"Someone."

"The slave serves the master." How expensive bent in.

"How's Qingyue?"

"Minion, let's go investigate."

"Go ahead." After saying that, Yinren's mood was inexplicably low, he committed a big taboo again, and he should take this opportunity to get rid of the eighth person!

Qingyue endured her last breath, returned to the room, and passed out. When she woke up again, it had been three days, and she had been having a high fever for three days. Although the crown princess tried her best to maintain it, Qingyue's old problem was committed again, either she often had chills, so cold that her hands and feet were cold, or she was always hot, so hot that her nose bleed. The crown princess was very worried when she saw this, Qingyue would often feel her pulse to see if she had stopped jumping, death was not a terrible thing, but she didn't have time to finish what she wanted to do, Qingyue was very unwilling.

At night, someone knocked on the door, Qingyue carefully opened the door, and Han Bing came in.

"You? Can I help you? Qingyue asked strangely.

"Medicine, take it in the same way as last time."

"Well, why is it that only your medicine can cure me?"

"You're so smart, can't you guess?" Han Bing rarely answered.

……

"I'm not sick, but Fei Seyao poisoned me in Black Mountain Villa?" Qingyue suddenly realized!

"Fei Seyao still wants the list of officers that the eighth master has to deal with, no matter what method you use, if you can't get it, there will be no antidote next time." Han Bing left his words and left indifferently.

Only Kiyotsuki was left in the room, and there were countless pieces of cotton stuffed into her chest.

Death is death, but a kind of fiddling with the past death, makes her feel like a mouse, knowing her final ending, but she has to be teased by the cat, and the endless hatred suddenly erupts like a volcano, burning the former Jiang Qing!

The incident of the crown princess's birthday feast, in the drama of the nine sons seizing the heir, is just a small episode, no one has to dig into why, many things have disappeared quietly under the shadow of the brilliant court, maybe the only person who knows the answer may have become a dead person. Kangxi pressed everything down with a paper reward, and all the women knew the holy will, and the women who were usually gossipy actually closed their voices in unison, and no one talked about it, let alone mentioned it, as if nothing had happened that day.

"Miss Qingyue, are you better?" How expensive is a flattering smile.

"Thank you for your concern." Qingyue saw how expensive she was, understood the prince's attitude, and knew that she asked her mother to save her that day. Come to think of it, the crown prince is also a poor man, a child without a mother, forever an orphan. Compassion only flashed in Qingyue's heart, and not even a speck of dust fell.

"Miss Qingyue, you have been serving the crown princess for a while, and you are very dedicated, I like it and want to change places for you."

"I appreciate my father-in-law's kindness, but the crown princess is very good to me, and I can't bear the master."

"Silly girl, it's better to be a master than a slave."

"Father-in-law, I'm afraid, Ming Zhida has already explained to me, and I am not allowed to harm my master."

"What? Do you listen to him, or not to me? You think I'm afraid of him? Duogui spat on the ground.

"Father-in-law, you are deeply trusted by the crown prince, but I am just a humble slave, how can I compare with you? Mingzhida has a lot of weight to speak in front of the prince, even if I have the blessing to serve the prince, but as long as Mingyanda says a word, I will never be able to turn over again. ”

"Yes. That old dog will only stumble! I said Qingyue, it seems that you are very scheming, I like smart people. As long as you listen to me in the future, I will definitely help you, and you will remember me when you are developed in the future. ”

"How can you forget? Drinking water should be the source, dogs and horses still know how to repay it, Qingyue is not such a ignorant person. ”

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll plan it for you."

"Thank you father-in-law, Qingyue will rely on her father-in-law in the future."

Qingyue looked at Duogui's back, and a sneer broke at the corner of her mouth, if you want to destroy a person, the best way is to keep him away from the good guy, guide him to get close to the villain, and if you don't have to do it yourself, his death will not be far away!

In the morning, Qingyue carried toiletries and waited for the crown princess to make up.

"Qingyue, today I want to enter the palace and put that phoenix jade Dorjee colorful hairpin on me."

"Huh." Qingyue combed it carefully and took care of the princess's due extravagance.

"Among all the minions, Qingyue, you know my mind best." The crown princess praised.

"Thank you for the compliment." Kiyotsuki replied.

"Okay, wait for me to enter the palace." The crown princess commanded.

Qingyue cleaned up the dresser, boom~, accidentally knocked over the gold and silver jewelry box to the ground, Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, if it was a jade box~, Qingyue didn't dare to imagine that as long as those things were damaged, they could kill themselves!

"What are you doing?" A grandmother rushed in.

"Mama, I'm sorry, I missed it for a while."

"Qingyue, you are usually very careful, why are you so rough today."

"I'll clean it up right away."

"Hurry up and clean up." Mama smashed the curtain and went out.

Qingyue hurriedly cleaned up, boom~ her head hit the dresser, the cabinet of red pear, the hardness is comparable to a stone, Qingyue cried and mourned, what happened today? Didn't you eat chicken feet yesterday? Why are your hands shaking and your feet shaking?

Click~, something fell out, Qingyue looked very familiar, picked it up casually, and took a closer look, is it Huahua's gold chain? No, Huahua's pendant is engraved with the word "En", and this one is written with the word "love". I heard that Huahua was given to the crown princess by the deputy chief manager Chang Gonggong, in order to thank the princess for her promotion, Qingyue broke out in a cold sweat. The person in charge of arranging the Shoutang that day was Chang Gonggong, and in addition to being beaten half to death afterwards, he was also kicked out of the prince's mansion. In this way, the person who killed Huahua is probably the crown prince, in order to give the crown princess a warning, and to kill Chang Gonggong in a sincere way, and finally, it can also make Kangxi notice that there are still people who covet the position of the prince by any means.

Sure enough, it is Kangxi's son, and the depth of his work is really extraordinary. And he almost became a by-product, and almost died unjustly with Yan'er, but fortunately, his life was great! No wonder the usually cowardly princess would boldly intercede, no wonder the princess was so good to herself, it turned out that the original situation was like this. It seems that this seemingly virtuous and obedient crown princess is just a mask for her to survive in the palace, what does she really look like?

Qingyue took the opportunity to check the safflower pear cabinet, there was a secret door under the cabinet, and she just hit the mechanism of the Shou Tao button, Qing Yue quickly put the chain back in place, twisted the Shou Tao secret button, closed the secret door, and looked at it carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, she calmly packed up the gold and silverware one by one, and exited the door as usual.
