Chapter 21 Woe Comes from the Mouth
Back to the Chu Hui Palace, I saw a group of people hugging Xia Luan Xi from a distance, saying something, Qi Zheng shook his head lightly, "Human feelings are warm and cold, the world is hot and cold, and it tends to be inflammatory, and it is just human nature." ’
Xia Luan Xi saw Qi Zheng, smiled and squeezed out of the crowd to greet her: "Sister Qi Zheng, we haven't talked about it since we entered the palace, and we don't know much about each other, but rumors are just rumors, please don't misunderstand my sister, Luan Xi will take care of each other with her sister as Princess Yu said, and Luan Xi will always be on my sister's side." ”
Qi Zheng smiled: "Rumors are not rumors, it is a blessing for you, how can I think about it." With that, he bowed his head slightly and left.
Walking back to Lanxia Palace, Xirui Shujin and the others were sitting at the table and discussing, and when they saw Qizheng coming back, Wen Yue hurriedly greeted her, frowning and said, "Sister, do you know the sister who is talking outside?" ”
Qizheng nodded, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and placed the incense dew on the pillow.
"These days after entering the palace, let alone people, even the name is born, but is there really such a person in this Chuhui Palace who is so captivating for the emperor to fall in love when he sees the portrait, what is the origin of Xia Luan's regret." Shujin sat at the table and said lightly.
Xi Rui picked up the fan on the table and fanned the wind lightly, and said helplessly: "Hey, I also went to inquire about that Xia Luan just now, she is the daughter of a member of the military department, and she is a well-known person in this Chu Hui Palace, and it is not difficult to buy a painter." ”
Shujin smiled: "Didn't we also give the reward, it seems that what we gave should be a drop in the bucket compared to her." ”
Wen Yue sat next to Qizheng, looked at Qizheng, and whispered: "Sister, is Xia Luan really buying a painter with a lot of money to be favored by the emperor?" ”
"It should be, I met her in the garden when I just came back, she was as kind as usual, there was no show off in her words, and she must have no bottom in her heart." Qi Zheng said.
Wen Yue clapped her hands lightly and said happily: "That's right, the emperor will definitely be disappointed when he really sees her." ”
"Qizheng, Concubine Hua summoned you just now, did you explain anything?" Xi Ying looked at Qizheng and asked.
Qizheng thought for a while, and then said, "I just told us a few words, so that we don't have to pay attention to the rumors, and we will do what we need to do now." ”
"Then, why did Niang Niang summon you alone?" Shujin said again.
"If we go together, it will be easy to attract gossip, and the mother should be worried about this." Qi Zheng said lightly.
Shujin and Xi Ying dispelled their suspicions.
Nearly at night, after dinner, Wen Yue uncharacteristically stopped practicing, but went out for a walk alone, Xi Ying, Shujin and Xirui also went out, and only Qizheng and Youzhu were left in the hall.
"Why don't the two sisters go out for a walk with the others?" There was a voice of regret in front of the door. Qizheng looked up at her, but didn't speak. Youzhu looked at Xia Luanxi, and then lowered his head to look at the book in his hand.
Luan Xi smiled: "Sister Qizheng, can you take a step to speak." ”
Qi Zheng nodded, walked to the garden with Luanxi, and sat on the stone bench.
"Is my sister still prejudiced against Luan?" Luan regretted.
Qizheng looked at her curiously: "I already told you that day, I have long forgotten what you have done, so why should I be biased." ”
"Maybe it's because Luan Xi thinks about it too much, there will be a general election the day after tomorrow, and it is okay to be selected based on my sister's appearance and family background, but whether Wenyue can be selected or not, but it is a big mystery, although we have little contact on weekdays, but it is not difficult to see that my sister treats Wenyue like a sister, if she can't be selected, it will be useless to my sister, and my sister has spent her mind in vain." Luan Xi said.
Hearing this, Qi Zheng raised the corners of her lips and slowly spoke: "I don't want Wenyue to be my right-hand man when I treat Wenyue like a sister, you are too worried." ”
Luan Xi looked at Qi Zheng and smiled slightly: "Then, how should my sister treat the person who can become my sister's right-hand man?" ”
Qizheng shook his head lightly: "I have no intention of fighting for anything, why do I need to be right-handed." ”
"If my sister thinks like this now, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in the future." Luan regretted.
Qi Zheng slowly got up and looked at Luan Xi with low eyebrows: "What you are worried about now is not what I want to do, but your own safety, their flattery to you is not envy, but more jealousy, just like Wen Yue, who was glamorous and domineering at the beginning." With that, he turned and left.
Qi Zheng returned to the hall, and the other people had not come back yet, Youzhu raised his eyes and looked at Qi Zheng: "What was that just now?" ”
Qizheng sat down at the table again, holding the teapot and slowly pouring water into the cup: "Xia Luan pity." Youzhu smiled slightly: "It seems that I guessed correctly." As soon as Youzhu finished speaking, it became a little noisy outside, Qizheng and Youzhu walked outside the temple gate, and saw the show girls from other halls flocking towards the garden, Qizheng and Youzhu glanced at each other, walked down the steps, and ran into Dongmei walking towards this side with pastries: "The two little masters are going to the garden." ”
Qi Zheng nodded: "What's wrong?" ”
Dongmei said helplessly: "I don't know, I just came from the kitchen, and I haven't had time to see it yet." Yan walked up the steps, stood in front of the door of the hall, and turned around to look at Qizheng and Youzhu: "Little master, this is the pastry that my aunt ordered the kitchen to make for the little masters, and the slave maid will put it in the hall first." ”
Qizheng answered, and walked towards the garden with Youzhu.
"The general election is coming soon, and she is really unlucky to encounter this." A show girl beside him said.
Walking to the garden, I saw a group of people around the middle from a distance, and there were many discussions, Qi Zheng stepped forward, squeezed through the crowd, stopped to look, and was shocked, the person kneeling in the middle of the crowd was, Xirui, her cheeks were red and swollen, and she couldn't make a sound, Aunt Nian stood aside, with a gloomy face: "The slave has already warned you, what to say and what not to say, take care of your mouth, and now it's like this, who can you complain about", and looked at the show girls around him, and said lightly: "You all go back." The show girls gathered around dispersed.
"Qizheng, what's wrong?" Yuzhu asked, standing outside the crowd.
Qizheng walked to Youzhu's side, and looked back at Xirui: "I don't know, it should be a disaster from the mouth." ”
Yuzhu leaned over and looked at the kneeling man: "It seems to be Xirui, then it should be as you said." ”
Qizheng looked at Youzhu curiously, Youzhu understood Qizheng's doubts, and smiled: "Although I have never liked to talk, but I am not deaf, Xirui likes to talk about people's strengths and weaknesses on weekdays, how can I not know?" ”
Qizheng shook his head lightly: "Although I don't like to listen to her about right and wrong, but now I have some sympathy, and the general election is coming soon. ”
Youzhu and Qizheng slowly walked back to Lanxia Palace, and as soon as they walked to the door, they heard Shujin say: "This is another palm mouth and kneeling all night, how can Xirui eat." ”
Qizheng walked into the hall and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Xirui?" ”
"Xi Rui and a few palace maids were talking about Concubine Hui, and the Queen Mother heard it, just as we passed by, we saw Xi Rui being slapped and slapped, and was sent by the Queen Mother to kneel all night." Xi Ying said lightly.
Qi Zheng didn't speak, just sighed secretly, and the Lanxia Hall fell silent.
Wen Yue walked back to the hall thoughtfully, Qizheng looked at her uneasy appearance, hurriedly greeted her, and asked softly, "What's wrong." ”
Wen Yue was startled, turned around, and looked at Qizheng: "No, it's okay." ”
Qi Zheng frowned and said: "You look at your restless appearance, it seems that you are fine, is it because of Xirui?" ”
Wen Yue looked at Qi Zheng with a puzzled expression: "Xi Rui? What's wrong with Yurui. ”
"Didn't you pass through the garden?" Qi Zheng said curiously.
Wen Yue hurriedly said: "No, something happened to her." ”
"Since you didn't go to the garden and didn't walk out of the Chuhui Palace, then why did you just go?" Qi Zheng was suspicious.
Wen Yue spoke: "I'll just walk around." ”
Qizheng didn't think much about it, and told Wen Yue about Xirui, although Wen Yue sighed, but didn't say much, but was stunned from time to time......
