Chapter 71: Unwilling

Yan Qingyun came and waited in the flower hall in the front yard.

Cui Keyin and Jiang were talking in the banquet room, and Mama Geng was afraid of alarming Jiang, so she asked Lu Ying to whisper to Cui Keyin when she served tea.

Knowing that Yan Qingyun was coming, Cui Keyin hurriedly ended the topic and said, "...... It can be seen that she is not having a good time in the palace. ”

Jiang Shi saw Lu Ying muttering in Cui Keyin's ear, and said with a smile: "What are you busy with?" Go for it. ”

Cui Keyin said goodbye and went to the flower hall in the outer courtyard.

Yan Qingyun saluted, Cui Keyin returned the salute, and said, "Is this matter an eyebrow?" ”

"Exactly." Yan Qingyun said: "The old lady is the master Xie Yuanye who went to Beijing to catch the exam, and he has some acquaintances and friends in Beijing, and he will make some friends who go to Beijing to catch the exam." Lao Yu started to look for it from this aspect, and the hard work paid off, and it really allowed Lao Yu to trace some clues. ”

When Yan Qingyun said this, he took a sip of the teacup, and his face was slightly pale.

Cui Keyin motioned for Lu Ying to continue tea.

"After many inquiries, there were four or five people who had close contacts with the old lady back then." Yan Qingyun put down the teacup, took out a squarely folded piece of paper from his arms, and handed it over: "This is the list." ”

Cui Keyin opened it and saw that it read: Tongxiang Yuan Qiong, Guo Ziming, Liuzhou Qi Shouren, and Maozhou Xue Ping'an.

"I think that the scenery of crossing the White River is beautiful, and it is normal for people to meet to cross the White River and chant poems. Maybe there were these people who were with the old lady that day. Yan Qingyun said.

He inquired about the list, but he broke two pairs of shoes.

The capital is so big, and more than ten years have passed. If it weren't for the chance, I asked a fellow who had participated in Cui Zhenjing's funeral back then, and he was still blindly touching the elephant at this time.

Cui Keyin folded the list and put it away, and said, "Mr. is right, Mr. Lao bothered." Originally, there was a guard named Chen Peng who was doing this, and if Mr. needed to run errands, he might as well let him do it. ”

That's for the helper.

Yan Qingyun thanked him.

Cui Keyin asked Li Si's injury again: "Is it better?" ”

"I've been able to get out of bed, thank you Miss for giving me medicine and extending the medicine." Speaking of his cousin, Yan Qingyun solemnly thanked him.

Cui Keyin nodded. "I need to add a flower farmer here." If your cousin doesn't dislike it, why don't you come over and help, what do you think? ”

Li Si is just a powerless flower farmer, and Wang Yuan can clean him up in minutes. At that time, I was not so lucky to meet Cui Keyin and Zhou Heng again.

Yan Qingyun also thinks that Li Si can't plant flowers and sell flowers in Fengtai. Li Sizheng is worried about his future livelihood. I didn't expect Cui Keyin to be a good person to the end. Let Li Si go to Xinglin Hutong to be a flower farmer.

Yan Qingyun thanked him repeatedly, and said that he would come over as soon as Li Si recovered from his injuries.

Sending Yan Qingyun away, Cui Keyin returned to Huayuexuan. I flipped through the pages and read the paper with the names written on it countless times.

Immediately afterwards, the day of the chrysanthemum viewing party set by Li Xiuxiu arrived. She showed the Queen Mother and the Queen, was allowed to hold a chrysanthemum meeting, and took the Queen Mother as a banner, Cui Keyin was not good not to go.

The chrysanthemum appreciation party was held in the imperial garden, Li Xiuxiu was dressed up in jewelry, smiling arrogantly and coldly, and dealt with a few well-dressed handkerchiefs: "This is the future princess of Jin, hehe." ”

Cui Keyin hasn't passed the door yet, and there is no princess title, so she can only salute her. She didn't scream, so Cui Keyin bent her knees and squatted. A few handkerchiefs were exchanged like watching koi fish, criticizing Cui Keyin and worshipping Li Xiuxiu.

Cui Keyin's deep eyes looked at several handkerchiefs one by one, and said, "Are these also the ladies in the palace?" ”

Several handkerchiefs looked a little unnatural. They have always been good friends with Li Xiuxiu, and this is the first time that Li Xiuxiu has invited them to the palace to participate in the chrysanthemum appreciation party after entering the palace. said that the mother-in-law's family thought that the two had always been good friends, and now they are royal concubines, but they have to start with a granddaughter-in-law, which can't help but be sad, not to mention the envy and jealousy of the in-laws, needless to say.

Cui Keyin swept the look on their faces and said with a smile: "It turns out that it's not." With a long tail note, "Ah-" The man stood up and said, "Hasn't the queen yet arrived?" ”

Li Xiuxiu was so angry that she was about to turn her face and scold her, but when she mentioned the queen, she blocked her chest in one breath and almost closed her breath.

In order to prevent the dictatorship of foreign relatives, when choosing a concubine for the crown prince, the daughter of an ordinary family was chosen. This is customary, and the Empress of the Emperor is no exception. The queen is from Cangzhou, and her father is a showman.

A poor and talented daughter riding on her head to "make a fortune", how can Li Xiuxiu be willing? The queen has a soft temperament and is very happy with the queen mother, and she can only have a place in the queen mother's heart by giving birth to a son. But the emperor didn't know which nerve was wrong, she was as beautiful as a flower, he was blind, except for the day he entered the palace, he never touched her again. How can you have a son in this way? The concubines kept talking coldly, she was annoyed, and she hated Cui Keyin more and more.

Several handkerchiefs looked at Li Xiuxiu together, and one of them blushed with excitement, and said, "Concubine Kang, will the queen also come?" ”

Li Xiuxiu rolled her eyes and said, "The queen mother is very busy, how can she be free?" ”

If you want to see the queen, how can it be so easy. She was ostracized in the palace, and the queen has always lived in a simple place, except for filial piety in front of the queen mother, she didn't go anywhere, and she didn't get along with any concubine in particular, how could she be invited?

The handkerchiefs could not hide their disappointment, and a girl in a royal blue Hangzhou silk gown said: "The queen is virtuous and virtuous, I thought I could meet for this." ”

At four o'clock and eight festivals, the foreign woman entered the palace and just bowed and withdrew, which is what you want to see as a foreign courtier? Cui Keyin slandered.

At the same time as the handkerchiefs nodded their heads, a palace man stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, Aunt Yongxin Gongfang is here." ”

The queen lives in Yongxin Palace, and this Aunt Fang is one of the people who need to be used by the queen's side.

Li Xiuxiu was overjoyed, her voice couldn't help but be a little higher, and she said, "Please." ”

The handkerchiefs were also overjoyed, and one said: "But the queen wants to come to the imperial garden?" ”

Aunt Fang saluted Li Xiuxiu, and then bowed to Cui Keyin, and said, "Niangniang often chatters, and I haven't seen Miss Cui since the Mid-Autumn Festival." Today, I learned that Miss Cui had entered the palace, and the special slave asked Miss Cui to go over to talk. ”

Li Xiuxiu's smile froze on her face, glared at Cui Keyin fiercely, and said, "Niangniang invites, you can go." After the mother is finished, she will come back immediately. ”

Cui Keyin didn't look at her, she just farted and said to Aunt Fang, "Auntie, please lead the way." ”

Aunt Fang was very respectful to Cui Keyin, and only then turned sideways to lead the way after confessing the crime.

As soon as Cui Keyin turned around, there was a "buzzing" discussion behind him, and several jealous glances fell on his back. (To be continued......)
