Chapter 281: Rumors (3)
As expected, the peach-colored news in the Lingbo Hall spread quickly with lightning speed. Because the status of the palace maid and the chamberlain is not high, everyone has no scruples about spreading rumors. The more detailed it is, the more outrageous it becomes.
Later, it was rumored that the chamberlain slept in the palace maid's room every night.
Think about it and know it's impossible.
The rules in the palace are strict, and most of the chamberlains and palace maids live in the same room. Even if the chamberlain is bold, it is impossible to run to the palace maid's house every day, let alone stay overnight every night.
It's just that these rumors have noses and eyes, and whenever they want to subside, more exciting news will be exposed. soon became a laughing stock in everyone's mouths.
Wei Jieyu also greatly returned to the "limelight" because of this.
The palace maids and attendants didn't dare to make fun of it, how could the concubines in the palace be willing to let go of such a good opportunity.
One by one, they took turns to come to the Lingbo Palace, and after chatting for a while, they would pretend to care inadvertently: "Sister Wei, a few days ago, I heard something new. It is said that it is the palace maid and chamberlain in the Lingbo Palace...... Eh, don't talk about that kind of pickled thing. ”
Wei Jieyu's eyes flashed a trace of discomfort, and she said as usual: "How can this little thing reach your ears." ”
Wang Meiren covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly: "It's not those palace maids, who are idle all day long, so they love to chew their tongues." I also overheard it, and I couldn't believe it when I asked a few questions. Sister Wei has always respected the rules, how can she tolerate such ugly things from the people around her. ”
"Sister Wang, it's not right for you to say this. Sister Wei must have been kept in the dark, otherwise, she would not have made such a disturbance. ”
"Yes, the rumor is boiling, so that Sister Wei's face is not bright."
Although Wei Jieyu is favored on weekdays, she is very low-key and cautious. It's rare to seize such a good opportunity to taunt a few words with guns and sticks, and of course the concubines will not be polite.
A few concubines, you say a word, Wei Jieyu can't pick up people, she can only accompany her with a stiff smile.
Soon, even Empress Xu heard about it.
When Wei Jieyu came to ask for peace, Queen Xu intentionally or unintentionally mentioned: "Wei Jieyu, the people around you also have to take care of some." lest you make jokes and make the big guys upset when they look at it. ”
Wei Jieyu looked ashamed: "The queen mother taught a lesson." It's all because the concubines are not strict in discipline, and they make jokes, so that the mother also bothered. ”
Empress Xu pulled the corners of her lips with a smile: "There is nothing to worry about in this palace, but you have to pay more attention in the future." ”
Wei Jieyu replied resignedly.
……
After saying goodbye, Wei Jieyu got up and walked out of the Jiaofang Palace.
Thinking of the disturbances in the past few days, Wei Jieyu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This rumor is really harmful! In the past few days, everywhere I go is the focus of everyone. Don't mention it!
"Jieyu Niangniang!"
A familiar voice sounded not far away.
Wei Jieyu came back to her senses and looked at her calmly. When he saw the face of the person who came, the corners of his lips suddenly rose: "Ashu, why are you here." ”
Ling Jingshu has been in the palace for a few months. Wei Jieyu often goes in and out of the Jiaofang Palace, and she and Ling Jingshu often meet.
Ling Jingshu stepped forward, saluted, and said with a smile: "The slave maid is here to wait for Niangniang today. ”
Wei Jieyu sighed quietly: "You deliberately waited for me, is there anything important?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Ling Jingshu said with a smile: "Since the slave maid entered the palace, she has never visited her mother. I wonder if Niangniang has free time in the afternoon? ”
Wei Jieyu smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt if you come to Lingbo Hall at any time. ”
Ling Jingshu hurriedly thanked her.
After Wei Jieyu returned to Lingbo Palace, she couldn't help but think secretly. Why did Ling Jingshu suddenly come to her? Could it be that she had already sensed something?
No! It was so secret, she could never have known about it.
……
Just after noon.
Wei Jieyu took a short nap, got up and freshened up a little.
Xinyun came in with a smile and reported: "Jieyu Niangniang, Lady Ling has come to ask to see you." Is the slave going to lead her to the side hall? ”
"Don't be so troublesome, just lead her to the dormitory." Wei Jieyu said without thinking.
Xinyun answered, and quickly led Ling Jingshu in.
Ling Jingshu was still wearing a pale green palace dress, with a pretty face, smiling and saluting.
Wei Jieyu smiled and beckoned: "Okay, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to pay attention to these false courtesies." Come and sit and talk! Don't be a slave or a slave, just like before. ”
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled, but she was not embarrassed, and responded with a smile: "Then I will save more than one today." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to Wei Jieyu and sat down.
Wei Jieyu asked kindly: "You have been on an errand in the Jiaofang Hall these days, and you haven't met anyone who makes things difficult for you!" ”
"There are no difficulties in the open, but there are always stumbling blocks in the dark." Ling Jingshu didn't hide it, and said honestly: "However, I can still handle it, and Niangniang doesn't have to worry about me." ”
Wei Jieyu smiled: "You have always been smart and clever, and it is no problem to deal with a few female officials." If you encounter something that can't be solved, it doesn't hurt to come to me privately. ”
"Thank you, Niangniang." Ling Jingshu smiled gratefully, and her words changed: "Actually, I came today to thank you on purpose. ”
Wei Jieyu's heart moved: "Good and dignified, why do you suddenly want to thank me." ”
Ling Jingshu glanced at Wei Jieyu deeply: "If it weren't for the fact that Niangniang deliberately arranged this play and attracted the attention of the big guys, I'm afraid that there are still rumors about His Royal Highness Taisun and me in the palace now." ”
Wei Jieyu: "......"
Wei Jieyu looked at Ling Jingshu with a shocked expression, and blurted out, "How do you know? ”
As soon as the words came out, I regretted it.
When she said this, she undoubtedly admitted it.
Sure enough, Ling Jingshu sighed lightly: "I was also guessing, but I didn't dare to be sure." Now, though, it's certain. As he spoke, he stood up and bowed dignifiedly: "Niangniang has lost face and been wronged for me." This kindness, I, Ling Jingshu, will never forget. ”
Wei Jieyu was dumbfounded for a moment before she opened her mouth and said, "That's it, since you guessed, I won't hide it from you." This incident was indeed arranged by me secretly. ”
After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Actually, the real 'mastermind' is not me. I heard the rumors, and although I was worried about you, I never thought of using such a method to help you. It was someone who came to me and begged me, so I nodded and agreed. ”
Ling Jingshu: "......"
Wei Jieyu glanced at Ling Jingshu with ulterior motives: "Who this person is, I just don't say, you should have guessed it!" (To be continued.) )
