Chapter 107: Seeing Prince Xiang in the Palace (1st Update)
Prince Xiang is a prince, and it is common to bring Fujin into the palace to ask for peace. Liang Yuexin remembered that in her previous life, she also had the experience of following Prince Xiang into the palace. But it was only once, and those later opportunities were snatched away by Fang Fujin. But fortunately, she was robbed by Fang Fujin, otherwise if she often entered the palace, everyone in the palace would recognize her, and she and Fulin would have no fate.
There were only two courtiers beside Prince Xiang, and they were talking about something, making Prince Xiang very happy. There was no side Fujin around. After they entered the palace together to greet the Queen Mother, it was also possible for Fang Fujin to ask the concubine for peace alone. So I didn't see Fang Fujin, Liang Yuexin didn't feel strange at all.
Prince Xiang got closer and closer, Liang Yuexin was so nervous that her heart beat faster, and she didn't dare to come out. Pray in your heart, but don't be discovered. I don't know if it's because of excessive nervousness, or if the weather is cold and cold, Liang Yuexin suddenly couldn't help but sneeze.
"Who?" One of the courtiers immediately shouted loudly. Prince Xiang also stopped, wanting to see who was hiding behind the rockery.
Oh no, Liang Yuexin thought to herself that this was the end.
Time passed minute by minute, and no one came out of the rockery. One of the courtiers couldn't wait any longer, and was about to go in and have a look. Suddenly, Xue Qiao walked out with his head down.
"Which palace maid? Why hide behind rockeries? The courtier immediately rebuked.
"The slave maid is from Jingren Palace, and when I saw the adults from afar just now, I hid when I was afraid." Xue Qiao immediately knelt down and whispered.
Most of the slaves and maids in the palace are timid and afraid, and what Xue Qiao said is reasonable. Fortunately, Prince Xiang didn't know Xue Qiao and didn't know that she was Liang Yuexin's maid.
People outside the palace will not know how many concubines the emperor has, and most of them don't know their names. They only knew that Jingren Palace was where Concubine Tong lived, she was the biological mother of the third prince, and the courtiers respected her. Since it is Concubine Tong's person, hiding is not a big deal, so there is nothing to do. Prince Xiang waved his hand and let Xue Qiao get up, and they also turned to leave.
As soon as Prince Xiang left, Liang Yuexin immediately collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, before entering the palace, she told Xue Qiao about Chang Fujin. Today, Xue Qiao's righteousness helped her stop the catastrophe. At this moment, Liang Yuexin was glad to have brought Xue Qiao into the palace, if it weren't for his own people, he really couldn't hide just now.
"Little Lord. It's okay. They've gone far. Xue Qiao hurriedly went back to help Liang Yuexin.
"Xue Qiao, it's good to have you." Liang Yuexin was so excited that she almost burst into tears.
Xue Qiao was also very afraid, so he persuaded: "Little master, it is common for Prince Xiang to enter the palace, so the little master should stay in Jingren Palace more." lest we meet again. ”
"It's a once-time escape." Liang Yuexin shook his head, Prince Xiang will find out sooner or later, let's talk about it at that time. Maybe then it's time for Fu Lin to come forward. As soon as she thought of Fulin, Liang Yuexin had the confidence, her current husband is the emperor, he is the biggest in the world, what are you afraid of with him?
Prince Xiang went to the emperor alone to say goodbye. Fulin received him as usual. The two also played chess together, talking about the past and the present, and did not show anything unusual. In Fu Lin's heart, Xiao Xin is already his woman. Xiao Xin's past has long since disappeared like a cloud, and Prince Xiang's past has naturally been erased.
"On the way to the Qianqing Palace, I heard that the emperor had accepted another beautiful woman. Congratulations to the Emperor! Prince Xiang said with a smile.
Fu Lin was stunned, the beauty that Prince Xiang was referring to was Liang Yuexin. However, he was only stunned for a moment, and Fu Lin accepted Prince Xiang's congratulations with a smile.
"It seems that the emperor is quite satisfied with this beauty, presumably the beauty is beautiful and fragrant. The minister was curious, and really wanted to see her face. "Prince Xiang is indeed curious, because the emperor's smiling expression just now is only available to people in love. Which girl is so beautiful that makes the emperor fall in love?
"Beautiful women are naturally meant to be hidden." The meaning of Fu Lin's words is very clear, that is, not to be seen.
Prince Xiang is just curious, and he doesn't have to see it. After all, it was the emperor's woman. It's not his, no matter how beautiful he is, what does it matter to him? If he knew that the beautiful woman was the Chang Fujin he was looking for, he might be angry to death.
After Fang Fujin and Prince Xiang separated, they went to Weiyang Palace. Concubine Hui is her cousin, and Fang Fujin is a relative. As soon as you step into Weiyang Palace, you can smell a fragrant smell of herbs. Concubine Hui has been making herbs in the palace for many years. The fragrance lasts.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but my sister's appearance is more bright and moving." As soon as Fang Fujin sat down, he complimented.
"The mouth is still so sweet." Concubine Hui looked at the side Fujin. Although her sister wore makeup, she still found that Fang Fujin's face was not good. Makeup is meant to hide a haggard face, right?
Concubine Hui has already heard about the side Fujin's struggle for the position of Fujin. Presumably, the haggard face is also for this reason. Prince Xiang only has two Fujin, and Fujin has been away for a long time, and she still can't sit upright? This sister is really not angry. Concubine Hui pretended not to know. also deliberately asked: "Look at my sister's ruddy face, but people are in good spirits at happy events, and they are about to sit in the position of Chang Fujin?" ”
As soon as Concubine Hui said this, Fang Fujin's face immediately turned pale. These words pierced her heart, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.
"What, could it be that Hongu said something wrong?"
"Sister, I ......" what to say? Could it be that not only did he not sit in the position of Chang Fujin, but he was almost suspended? The side of Fujin is difficult to speak,
"If you have something to say, just say it, this palace may be able to help you a thing or two." Concubine Hui took a sip of tea unhurriedly. But who let them go out of the same house? If Fang Fujin sits in the position of Chang Fujin, it can be regarded as giving face to his mother's parents.
Fang Fujin seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and instantly burst into tears with excitement. In less than a pot of tea, he told all the grievances he had suffered in the palace.
After hearing this, Concubine Hui sighed. scolded in his heart, is Fang Fujin a pig brain? was led away by his own jealousy, and he was almost divorced, and he didn't know what he was wrong with.
"You couldn't sit in the right position when Yan Fujin was here, and now that she has been gone for so long, you can't sit either. Looks like you don't have this fate! Concubine Hui reprimanded fiercely.
Fang Fujin was stunned and deflated. It's a default.
"Do you really believe that there is no such thing?" Concubine Hui was just a reproach, but she didn't expect Fang Fujin to believe it, which really made her cry and laugh.
Fang Fujin looked at Concubine Hui stupidly, indicating that he didn't understand.
"You still don't know what's wrong?" Concubine Hui glanced at Fujin on the side, it was really a pig's brain.
"It's Liang Yuexin's fault, I am inseparable from her!" Fang Fujin only remembered Liang Yuexin's fault, everything was her fault!
"What did you say?" Concubine Hui put down the cup in her hand and frowned. If she heard it correctly, Fang Fujin mentioned "Liang Yuexin", and she had the impression that Liang promised to be this name.
"I'm at odds with her!" Fang Fujin repeated what she had just said.
Concubine Hui waved her hand: "It's not like that." is the previous sentence. ”
Fang Fujin didn't know what Concubine Hui was referring to, she tried to think about what the last sentence was, but she couldn't remember it.
Concubine Hui couldn't wait, so she asked directly: "This palace is asking you for the name of your concubine!" ”
"Her name? Her surname is Liang. Mingyue Xin. ”
It turned out that I really heard it right, Liang promised to have the same name and surname as the prince's concubine Fujin? Is it a coincidence or ...... Concubine Hui thought for a while and continued: "Tell this palace in detail about her life experience. ”
Why is Concubine Hui suddenly interested in Liang Yuexin's life experience? Fang Fujin was confused, so he asked, "Why did my sister suddenly ask like this?" ”
"Hongu is giving you ideas! Quick, tell me in detail about Chang Fujin's life experience, you must be detailed. Concubine Hui advised.
"Yes, yes." Fang Fujin agreed again and again. It's the best thing to have Concubine Hui to help with ideas. Naturally, she was more than happy to say it.
It was another pot of tea, and Concubine Hui probably understood the life experience of Chang Fujin. Orphan girl, adopted, fifteen years old. These are so similar to Liang's life experience. At this moment, Concubine Hui's mind was already on Liang Yuexin's body, so naturally she didn't have the time to take care of Fujin anymore. After saying a few kind words, he sent her away.
As soon as Fang Fujin left, Concubine Hui immediately called Min Zhi and said a few words in her ear, and Min Zhi left in a hurry. Concubine Hui looked up into the distance, and it was already dark. But she still sees the outside world clearly. If it is found that Liang promised to be Chang Fujin, then a good show will be staged in the palace.
Most of the children who enter the palace as slaves are poor children from their families, and their parents send their children to the palace just to earn some wages to help the family, after all, the wages in the palace are the highest.
The palace maids and eunuchs who have already entered the palace cannot leave the palace at will, so as soon as they receive their wages, they will ask the stewards and eunuchs who can leave the palace to take them to their families, and those eunuchs in charge will take high commissions from them to make huge profits. Xiao Xinzi, the eunuch in the imperial dining room, is one of them, and as soon as he receives his salary every month, he entrusts someone to send it to his home.
The Imperial Dining Room was the place where the emperor's concubines ate and ate. The master of the various palaces. There are at least 10 kinds of dishes in each meal, so where can you finish them? Some dishes are discarded by the masters without even touching them. There were also some meals that were given to minions, or collected by the people in the imperial dining room.
Xiao Xinzi is one of the eunuchs who recycles the food. It's a pity to see that the recycled dishes are made of the best ingredients, and it is a pity to throw them away. They often collect these meals. Give it to some of the palace minions.
The food of the minions is not as good as that of the master, and it is often green vegetables and rice, so they are naturally very eager to see Xiao Xinzi bring them food, and they will also give Xiao Xinzi a penny or two as a hardship fee.
Xiao Xinzi spends a lot of silver to ask someone to take the silver out of the palace every month, and there is not much left after deducting the commission. Now that I have extra money, I am naturally happy to run errands. Every day, they secretly hide the recycled meals.
Although Xiao Xinzi was already very careful, it was discovered after a long time. As soon as the eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room found out, he immediately sent someone to tie up Xiao Xinzi and whip him.
"Pap-papa-pap-" The whip fell on Xiao Xinzi's body one by one. The whip fell and the flesh immediately opened, and the poor thirteen-year-old boy cried out in pain: "I dare no more, please let me go." ”
Of course, Xiao Xinzi knew that it was against the palace rules to hide the leftovers without permission, but for the sake of that pitiful amount of silver, he was also willing to take the risk. The family was poor, and his father and two younger brothers lived on his money. If they don't have enough to eat, then the two younger brothers will also be sent to the palace. Xiao Xinzi knew the hardships of being a eunuch and didn't want his younger brothers to repeat his path.
"Please let me go." Xiao Xinzi pleaded again. He can't have an accident, and if something happens to him, there will be no one to make money and send him home.
"You have the audacity to steal and dare to beg for mercy?" The steward and eunuch glared at Xiao Xinzi and continued to whip and whip. He was an elderly eunuch, and after staying in the palace for a long time, his psychology was also distorted, and his compassion had long since disappeared.
Each whip was whipped with all his might. If it weren't for Xiao Xinzi being the foundation of martial arts, he would have died a long time ago. But now it's almost the same, there are blood stains all over the body, and if you continue to fight, your life will be lost.
"Stop!" Suddenly, there was a shout. The steward eunuch turned his face and saw that it was a promise.
Liang Yuexin and Xue Qiao happened to pass by, and when they heard the crying, they came to see what was going on, but they didn't expect to see a bloody scene. It was just a child who was kidnapped, what crime did he commit to be tied up and beaten?
The eunuch in charge didn't know Liang Yuexin, but he knew from her dress that it was a promise. promised to be the lowest-ranking concubine in the palace, and it was reasonable for the steward eunuch to beat people, so naturally Liang Yuexin was not taken into account.
The steward eunuch saluted Liang Yuexin and explained: "Little master, the slave is a thief who steals things, and he does things according to the palace rules. The implication is that Liang Yuexin is blamed for being nosy.
"I'm not a thief, I'm not a ......" Xiao Xinzi was not convinced, although he was seriously injured, but he still had to deny the statement of a thief, and people could not be short-lived.
"It's hard-mouthed!" The steward and eunuch raised his hand and whipped again.
"You-" Xue Qiao couldn't look at it, and shouted loudly: "The little master told you to stop, didn't you hear?" ”
Liang Yuexin took a breath of cool air. Unexpectedly, the steward and eunuch would have no one in their eyes to such an extent, and they would continue to beat people in front of her. Didn't you take her little promise seriously? Instantly furious, clenched his fists and shouted: "I want this little eunuch, I will order you to put him down immediately." ”
"Little master, it's hard to obey the slave." The steward eunuch refused outright, because he had to refuse for a reason.
"You-" Liang Yuexin was so angry that she couldn't wait to step forward and slap him twice.
"What if I want it?"
As soon as everyone saw the emperor coming, they immediately fell to their knees and shouted long live. Liang Yuexin sighed, the emperor's power is really to suppress all directions, it seems that her backer is right.
On the other side, inside the Weiyang Palace. Min Zhi is reporting something to Concubine Hui.
When Concubine Hui listened, her face became more solemn. Hearing this, he slapped the table even more angrily. Min Zhi immediately lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.
"She went to great lengths to leave the palace, but she actually wanted to sneak into the palace? How could it be that he had deceived everyone? What a scheming woman! Concubine Hui gritted her teeth when she said this, and her face was hideous.
Min Zhi has already found out that Liang promised to be Chang Fujin, the same person.
"Swing! This palace will immediately expose the true face of this woman! (To be continued.) )
