Chapter 41: Suspicion
Xue Ya frowned and said, "This Aunt Hongying is weird today. ”
Songyan ******** put it for a while and was going to enter the palace alone, nervously not caring about noticing that Hongying was wrong, and instructed the maids to take a look at the things they were going to use, and after a while, the little maid reported that the Hou Ye was coming, and Songyan wanted to welcome him out, but it was too hot to do so, so he had to wait for Shao Ding to come in. Shao Ding entered the main room of Zhengqiu Hall a little uncomfortably, as if he didn't dare to look around, he rushed to the door and patrolled the pine smoke, and finally found someone in the next room, but he was stunned.
Songyan struggled to salute him, Shao Ding hurriedly stopped, looked at her cautiously and tentatively said, "Madam, since it's so hot, and someone has been sent to fetch ice, don't wear a dress." ”
Songyan was even more dazed than him, and said worriedly, "Aren't you going to the palace?" ”
Shao Ding was convinced that she really put on her dress in order to go to the palace, and couldn't help but turn her head and put her fist on her mouth and coughed, Songyan almost thought he was going to laugh, only then did he turn his head and say, "The Queen Mother is most tired of the big banquet with many rules, since the little yellow door of the day did not specifically explain, today in Changle Palace is also an ordinary palace banquet." ”
He said euphemistically, "Because such a palace banquet has no ministers, and it is a small banquet of the queen mother, it is not recorded, and most of the palace concubines and wives wear regular clothes." ”
There was a silent silence in the Zhengqiu Hall, and Songyan only felt a bang in his ears, and he didn't want to look at the expressions of the snow buds and clouds, he just wanted to go back to the bed, and he didn't want to see anyone again today.
She hung her head and whispered, "Xue Ya, help me remove this coat." ”
Hearing this, Shao Ding turned slightly sideways and didn't look at Songyan, Xueya hurriedly stepped forward to remove Songyan's clothes, Yunwu put his hand on the side, and saw Songyan depressed, and couldn't help but complain, "Madame has never entered the palace, so naturally I don't know these conventional rules." ”
Songyan knew that she was comforting herself, but she still couldn't lift her spirits, so Yunwu said anxiously, "It's also Aunt Hongying, since I came to see your outfit, why didn't I remind you?" ”
Songyan couldn't stop her, Shao Ding had already sunk his face on the side and asked, "Has Hongying been here?" ”
Songyan hurriedly said, "I've been here, and I haven't cleaned it up yet." ”
Although it is true, it sounds like Songyan hadn't been put on when the red tassel came. Shao Ding glanced at her and said, "I know who your maids learned from." ”
Song Yan didn't understand, and it was not easy to ask at this time, so he had to say something more, Shao Ding said categorically, "Madame, change your clothes, I'll go out for a while, and come back to enter the palace with you." ”
Song Yan guessed that he was probably going to Qixia Courtyard, and he had the heart to stop him, Xueya just helped her remove one of her sleeves, she couldn't get out of her body for a while, although she shouted a few Hou Ye, she looked at Shao Ding and walked out of the room without looking back.
Yunwu bowed her head weakly on the side to help her pull the clothes inside, so that Xue Ya could remove the clothes from Zhai, Song Yan saw that she knew her mistake, so she couldn't bear to scold her, and said to Xue Ya, "You put down these chores first, go out quickly and follow Hou Ye, and see if he goes to Qixia Courtyard." If you blame Aunt Hongying, stop it. ”
Xue Ya thought about it, and while helping her remove one of her sleeves, she said, "Why are you stopping Hou Ye, Qixia Yuan has been disrespectful to us for a day or two, and now Hou Ye is fair, so he will uphold justice for us, and those two will always be more restrained in the future." ”
Songyan hurriedly said, "If it's someone else, it's just that, the two aunts and the Hou Ye are no better than others, when the son was born, the two aunts didn't know anything, and they didn't even dare to hug the son, but they were sent to the Hou Mansion by the Queen Mother, and the Hou Ye was relieved to hand over the son to the two of them, you don't think that the two aunts have won the trust of the Hou Ye, just by virtue of their identity in the palace, right?" ”
Yunwu on the side was stunned when she heard this, her lips moved slightly, she looked at Xue Ya on the side, and saw that Xue Ya's eyes flashed, not very surprised, she was even more surprised, and quickly hid her shock, among the three big girls, only Yuhua spoke, "In this way, the two aunts must have dressed the Hou Ye in the palace in the past, and it is an old acquaintance that is so trusted." ”
Songyan saw that Xueya and Yunwu didn't speak, and after a little recollection, he knew that he had just said the wrong thing, but at this time, he didn't dare to show his timidity, and only said frankly, "I think it's more than that, the two aunts are probably not the old people of Changle Palace, but the old people of this Dingyuan Marquis Mansion." ”
Yuhua didn't doubt it at all, and asked admiringly, "How do you know?" ”
Songyan shook his head and said, "I'll talk about that later." The clouds and mist are about to remove the makeup on my face, and Xue Ya will go to Qixia Courtyard first. ”
Xue Ya said tentatively quietly, "Since the relationship between Master Hou and the two aunts is not as good as others, will it add fuel to the fire if we go now?" With you present, Master Hou may blame the two aunts even more, if it is really self-defeating like this, I am afraid that the two aunts will not be grateful to you. ”
Songyan frowned and didn't speak, Yuhua had already said on the side, "Madame naturally has Madame's reason, but you are not feeling well today, Madame only instructed one thing, so she pushed back." ”
Songyan looked at the clouds in the mirror that were the first to jump out of these words, and was standing aside, looking at Xue Ya in embarrassment, and his heart couldn't help sinking. Xue Ya was not angry at Yuhua's questioning on the side, and said unhurriedly, "It's just that I want to share my worries for my wife, so I said a few more words, and my wife didn't say anything, what do you mean by yelling in a hurry?" ”
Yuhua might as well she sneered in front of Songyan, and she couldn't answer half a word for a while.
Songyan knew in his heart that it was not a way to go on like this, although he always thought that he was no different from Xueya Yunwu on weekdays, and he seemed to be extremely approachable to others, but he didn't expect that being close would mean that there was no majesty, if it was Yan Furong in the past, even if the preface did not match the afterword, he would definitely not be questioned and disrespectful by the maids around him, Songyan secretly complained, but felt that it was not easy to be Mrs. Hou. Now that she had to deal with the past first, she thought of this, slapped the table hard, and said, "It's the other way around!" ”
Xue Ya has been a slave since she was a child, and when she heard her angry reprimand, she was frightened and knelt down reflexively, and the clouds and rain flowers knelt aside, and the clouds and mist trembled slightly, and the rain flowers were a little colorful.
Songyan didn't tell them to get up, he took off the gold crown on his head and put it on the table, stood up and looked at the kneeling maids in the room, and told the little maid Shui Er who was kneeling on the ground in the corner to stand up and go open the box and bring the regular clothes.
Shui'er was so frightened that she trembled, hung her head and walked quickly, Songyan saw that she was too scared, she couldn't help but feel a little bitter in her heart, but there was still no expression on her face, she sat in front of the rhombic glass, and waited quietly.
Xue Ya kowtowed to the side and said, "Madame, stop being angry! For the sake of a few of us, it's not worth it to be angry. ”
Seeing that she had admitted her mistake, Songyan's heart couldn't help but soften, and she was about to open her mouth to let them get up, but Yuhua had already kowtowed and said, "What Xueya said is that our sisters are arguing in front of Madame, which really shouldn't be, and ask Madame to punish her!" ”
Xue Ya, who was kneeling on the ground with her head down, heard this, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes. Songyan heard that Yuhua was going to force Xueya into a dead end, but he couldn't say anything, and after a moment of silence, he heard Yunwu finally speak, "The maid knows her mistake, so please be grounded in the room for three days." ”
Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so he interrupted Yuhua, who was still talking, and said quickly, "In this case, the clouds and fog will be punished for three days, the snow buds will be sprinkled and the courtyard will be swept for seven days, and the rain flowers will go to the corner to stand for half a day!" ”
Xue Ya and Yunwu hurriedly kowtowed to thank Songyan, and Yuhua saw that it was a foregone conclusion, so she had to kowtow unhappily.
