Chapter 46: Traces of Mole
On this day, the sky was just right, and the imperial concubine invited Jing Zhaoyi and Yao Concubine to enjoy the green bamboo in Xiuzhuxuan, these bamboos from Yuezhou actually grew lush in Xiuzhuxuan, although they could not catch up with Yuezhou, but they were also considerable.
While drinking tea and chatting about some things, Concubine Yao was obviously very happy, the emperor rarely set foot in the harem in the past few days, but the Guerlain Palace did go occasionally, which was much better than the original embarrassment.
"The two younger sisters, now that they have been promoted, they must be cautious in their words and deeds." The imperial concubine let people put fresh melons and fruits, which are bright and mouth-watering.
"What my sister said is that sisters shouldn't be reckless." Concubine Yao got up and blessed her body.
"You are also the mother concubine of the second princess, and every qiΔ of the second princess is on you, although the emperor has raised your position, don't be overly proud." The imperial concubine took a sip of tea, "The New Year is the draft, so it should be even more so." β
Concubine Yao's eyes were as clear as a spring: "My sister remembers my sister's teachings." β
Jing Shuyi looked at Concubine Yao: "Look at my sister is so restrained, come and sit, Sister Ling doesn't have anything to do with you." Jing Shuyi spoke quickly, and Concubine Yao nodded: "It must be good for my sister to treat my sister, but there have been so many things recently, can Niang Niang find out who the mole is?" β
The imperial concubine's bright eyes suddenly turned cold: "I haven't found out yet, but the emperor will suspect the Song family, maybe he found a clue, can my sister know who it is?" β
Concubine Yao's eyes lit up, and suddenly darkened again: "Naturally, I don't know, although the Song family entered the palace with me, but since my sister moved into the Guerlain Palace, she has been estranged. β
The imperial concubine smiled lightly, and her bright eyes flashed with unknown love: "My sister thinks too much, these things are naturally handled by the queen's mother, and my sister just heard the emperor say that the queen told him that Ning Guiyi may have something to do with the purse, but the truth of the matter is revealed, and my sister was also deceived by Ning Guiyi. β
Concubine Yao didn't expect that she was in a hurry to clear up the relationship, but she didn't expect that she would be speechless, but after listening to the imperial concubine's words, she felt a little relieved, and smiled: "It's better to be a sister, always thinking about your sister." Under the indifferent appearance, hiding the fear in her heart, the queen actually betrayed the Song family like this, presumably the Song family had a hard time, I heard that it had been a long time since she was summoned.
Jing Shuyi looked at Concubine Yao: "My sister was born in a Yuezhou family, this Yuezhou bamboo is different from other places, my sister must be more in-depth, why don't we sisters go together and say while walking, this pavilion is also very monotonous." β
Yao Concubine saw that there were bamboos everywhere, and smiled dumbly: "These bamboo sisters don't know how to appreciate them, after all, my sister grew up in the capital since she was a child, and she hasn't seen this bamboo a few times." However, the biggest difference between Yuezhou's bamboo and other places is that Yuezhou's bamboo is lush and lush, different from other places where bamboo leaves are sparse and scattered, but my sister feels that the sparse and scattered bamboo has another style, and everyone pursues prosperity and prosperity, just to please a child. β
The imperial concubine said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor planted this bamboo for his sister to enter the palace, presumably to please his sister, after all, the whole palace is a sister from Yuezhou, it can be seen that the emperor loves his sister, my sister does not like Yuezhou bamboo another day, my sister said to the emperor, for my sister's Guerlain Hall to move a few Jinzhou masters, Jinzhou bamboo can grow in the barren land, but the branches and leaves are scattered, it looks like there is a style." β
When Concubine Yao heard this, she didn't feel angry, and smiled softly: "Although the bamboo in Jinzhou is born in a barren land, the soil in the palace has absorbed the emperor's dragon qi, and it must be more fertile. β
Jing Shuyi heard the meaning of the two of them, frowned slightly, and was a little sad: "You guys talk about it here, what Jinzhou, what Yuezhou, bamboo is bamboo, no matter how many kinds of her are, we will always be able to appreciate it." β
Yao Concubine covered her mouth and smiled secretly: "Naturally, yes, but compared to bamboo, my sister prefers plum blossoms, and that day I saw the two sisters writing poems under the plum blossoms, which really envied my sister, but unfortunately my sister only understands the rhythm of music, and my sister is really at a loss." β
"My sister is very concerned about our whereabouts, and now that the shape in the palace is clear, the queen must hate us to the bone, we should be united, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes." The imperial concubine poured a cup of tea by herself, watching the clear tea float and sink, "It doesn't matter if you fall out of favor, you can only have the last laugh if you live to the end." β
Yan SΓΉ's appearance made Concubine Yao and Jing Shuyi stunned, and looked at each other: "What my sister said is true." β
Back at the Guerlain Palace, it was already afternoon, Concubine Yao said goodbye to the imperial concubine and entered her own dormitory, Yan Qiu in the palace was holding a letter, saw the master coming, and hurriedly hid the letter, Concubine Yao didn't immediately break it when she saw it, but just smiled faintly: "How many benefits did the queen mother give you?" β
Yan Qiu hurriedly knelt down: "Please spare the slave and the slave, the slave." β
Seeing her sincere and frightened appearance, Concubine Yao raised a light smile on her lips: "Yan Qiu, it is good that you and Qi'er are good sisters, but don't forget your identity, when you were in our family, this concubine and her father and mother did not treat you harshly, how did you enter the palace and have careful thoughts, and want to become the emperor's woman?" β
Yan Qiu hurriedly kowtowed, and said: "The slave and maid will never dare to have this intention, the letter in the slave maid's hand was written by Qi'er to the slave maid, and the chess child said that since Ning Guiyi fell out of favor, she has been punishing her all day long, and the slave and maid are not used to it, and they are definitely not sorry for the master." β
Yao Concubine rubbed her temples: "You are the person brought by this concubine, this concubine naturally believes you, but just now this concubine has already seen that you are reading that letter, why are you in such a hurry, maybe that letter can explain something." β
Yan Qiu stared at the ground for a long time and didn't dare to speak, Yao Concubine walked up to her: "When you tell the truth to this concubine, this concubine will not let you kneel." β
Yan Qiu gave the letter in her hand to Concubine Yao, Concubine Yao saw that her expression was not as flustered as before, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "If it is really the person next to this concubine, you must know that you are a child of the family, your old son and mother are in Yao Mansion, although Yao Mansion has declined, but the foundation of Yuezhou is still there, and you know what the consequences of betraying this concubine are." β
Yan Qiu lowered her head, her expression frightened.
Concubine Yao unfolded the letter, but it was really a letter from Qi'er to Yan Qiu, in which Yan Qiu was asked to work for the queen's mother. Concubine Yao couldn't help but take a deep breath: "No wonder Ning Guiyi has been favored many times, it turns out that she has the support of the queen, although she already knows it, but she didn't expect that even the people around Ning Guiyi have become the eyes and ears of the queen." β
Although she thought so, she glanced at Yan Qiu, who was kneeling on the ground: "This letter is for you to betray this concubine, how can this concubine believe you, with this letter, what else do you have to say?" β
Yan Qiu cried, her big eyes were swollen into walnuts, and she was pitiful: "The slave and maid did not betray the master, how could the slave and maid's family be in the Yao Mansion and harm Miss." Qi'er also listened to the queen in a daze, and the slave didn't know anything about these things. β
"Get up, who knows?" Concubine Yao asked
Yan Qiu sobbed and stood up: "The slave maid just got the letter, and it was given by a little palace maid with a face?" β
Concubine Yao's face was stunned, and she thought about what she saw in the imperial concubine's kitchen that day, could it be her?
"But the jade pendant?" Concubine Yao asked
Yan Qiu shook her head and choked in a low voice: "The slave doesn't know that palace maid, and I really haven't seen it in Chengqian Palace." β
