Chapter 103
A few days later, Mrs. Jiang suddenly came to visit her daughter, avoided the girl, and said first: "The princess said that you have been unwell recently and have been recuperating, and I am afraid that you will be bored, so let me come over to chat with you and relax." β
When Concubine Jiang saw her mother, she immediately cried aggrievedly.
Mrs. Jiang held her daughter in her arms, so she could not help crying, and when she heard her daughter crying breathlessly, she couldn't help but feel distressed, "My son, it's really hard for you." Crying with his daughter, he choked up and said: "I have long known that your road is not easy to walk, and other palaces are just one housewife, and you have ...... here, but there are two." β
"Mother......" Concubine Jiang sobbed and choked up.
The mother and daughter cried for a while before they collected their tears, washed their faces and spoke.
Madame Jiang persuaded: "It was the princess who asked me to come over today, I look at ......, the princess has the intention of wooing you." He whispered to his daughter, "You, why don't you hug such a big tree?" I heard that the last time I entered the palace, the emperor and the eldest princess of Liyi, the queen, the concubine Gong, and the concubine all rewarded the Feng family, right? Now is the time when she is in the limelight, you have to learn to avoid the edge and hide behind the big tree to enjoy the shade! β
Concubine Jiang originally wanted to compete for favor by herself, but she has been grounded for too long recently, and she has really banned her heart. Hearing what her mother said, she couldn't help but nod helplessly, "Well, I know what I said." β
"Think about it." Mrs. Jiang continued: "Concubine Feng has good looks, favors, children, and family background, what do you use to fight with her?" Didn't you see the princess and her mother can't fight? So, you should join forces. β
Concubine Jiang said angrily: "This grounding is because the Feng clan is harming me!" β
"My son!" Seeing that she was in awkward trouble, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly persuaded: "You are weak now, it is not the time to compete with Concubine Fengbian, the important thing is to please the princess and let her protect you." And what is more important is to envelop the heart of the prince, let him pamper you, and give birth to a son as soon as possible to have the capital to fight with others. β
Son? Concubine Jiang felt sour, "I want to too, but there has been no movement." β
Mrs. Jiang hesitated, "Why don't you ......, I'll beg for you to send Guanyin Niangniang?" "No matter what, the daughter has to get pregnant and give birth to a son before she can gain a foothold in the palace.
******
"Madame Chiang is here." Orb replied.
"Oh?" Feng Luan knew in her heart, cousin, she ......, this is under the support of Mama Gong, and she is going to declare war with herself! Hehe...... cousin, you are so jealous of me, hate me, and don't remember my kindness to save you at all? You want to support that idiot of the Jiang family to fight me, right?
Baozhu hadn't understood yet, and gloated: "Cut! Anyway, the prince let Concubine Jiang ground, even if Mrs. Jiang came over, it would be for nothing, and she would not be released in advance. β
Tortoiseshell also said: "Yes, the affairs of the palace are not up to Madame Jiang. β
Feng Luan knew in her heart that her few marrying girls had been living too well with her, and she never needed to think about people's hearts, so her intelligence and cleverness were limited. At present, the princess and her mother have added helpers, and the palace mother is very difficult, and she will not find someone again, and she is afraid that she will be in a hurry when she turns back.
I couldn't help but think of the red tassel.
In her previous life, she was reduced from Miss Gongqing to a slave and maid, not only arrogant, but also ignorant and innocent, if she hadn't protected herself openly and secretly, where would there have been eight years of stable life? How lucky was he to be able to meet the red tassel in his previous life?
In this life, he insisted on getting her out of the palace, one was to return the favor, and the other was to let her continue to help herself, and of course she would give her a corresponding rich reward.
He never doubted Xiao Duo's ability to do things, he promised to make the red tassel, then he just had to wait.
Sure enough, a few days later, Xiao Duo came back at night and said with a smile: "The palace maid you want, I will make people want to transfer to the palace of the concubine." It's too eye-catching to get it out directly, let her stay by the mother's side first, find an opportunity another day, let the princess enter the palace to say goodbye, and let the mother concubine reward people. β
Concubine Gong Niangniang rewarded a palace maid to Princess Duan, which is indeed not visible and dewy.
Feng Luan was a little worried, "What if the princess doesn't give me someone on her side?" β
"How dare she?" Xiao Duo's authority is unquestionable, and he raised his eyebrows, "If she dares to detain that palace maid, this king will throw the palace lady out of the palace!" β
Feng Luan thought about it, the princess must be reluctant to give up the palace grandmother, and she didn't dare to detain the ten red tassels, so she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
"For you, but I'm choking enough." Xiao Duo grabbed her hand, kept rubbing it, feeling the smoothness of the pink tofu, and squinted his eyes slightly, "Thank you?" There's no such thing as asking people to run errands for nothing. β
Feng Luan struggled, couldn't pull out, blushed and looked at the girls around him, "Hey......" and then muttered embarrassedly, "When, of course there is, ...... at noon, I'll ask Liu San to make you soup dumplings." β
"Liu San was still found by me, you let him make steamed buns, what kind of favor is it?"
Feng Luan twisted his body, "Then ......, I'll dip it in ginger vinegar." β
"Ha Lu Ha." Xiao Duo was amused by her, "Okay, okay, this pair of skillful hands of our concubine Feng Fang is easy not to move, even if it is a vinegar, it is rare." Looking at the pair of white jade-like hands, "Well...... I have to eat a few steamed buns at noon, so that you can dip them seventeen or eight times, otherwise you will lose a lot." β
Feng Luan smiled "fluttering", "Lord Wang, if you don't tell the story with this mouth, you will lose a lot." β
At noon, the two of them really ate soup dumplings.
However, the master wants to eat steamed buns, and there are really only steamed buns that can't come up, and all kinds of hot soups and hot dishes are set on a table, and there are rice snacks, but they are not as conspicuous as a few large baskets of steamed buns. Xiao Duo was in a good mood, he ate a cage of fresh meat stuffing, and also ate half a cage of shrimp filling, with side dishes, and drank a few glasses of soju hotly.
Feng Luan accompanied him to eat, with a small appetite, and it was enough to eat three shrimp buns.
She didn't dare to drink soju, she drank two glasses of warm fruit wine, her stomach was warm, her face was a pink color of peach blossoms, and her eyes were steamy, "It's delicious, it's interesting with wine." β
Xiao Duo smiled: "You little drunkard. β
After eating lunch and drinking the food tea and sitting down, he got up and went to Wuzhu Secluded Residence.
For men, the evening is the time to spend time with the concubines, and during the day, of course, they have to be busy in the study, discussing the political situation of the court with the staff, and arranging for the henchmen to arrange all kinds of important secrets. Basically, the daily life of every adult prince is like this, and His Royal Highness King Duan is no exception.
Therefore, in addition to sleeping time, Xiao Duo stayed in Wuzhu for a longer time in a day.
As soon as he entered the door, he noticed that there was something else in the room.
"...... this?" Xiao Duo took a closer look, and there was a white Persian cat in the cage, with one eye blue and one eye green, like two scorching washed gems, looking very cute. He kicked the cage with his foot, turned around and asked, "Who sent this cat?" β
"I don't know." Pu Jia shook her head, "The person on the door accepted it, saying that someone specially gave it to the prince, but he didn't leave his name." Then he picked up a letter on the table, "And this." β
Xiao Duo opened the letter without thinking too much, took out the paper and looked at it, and couldn't help but change his face drastically!
Pu Jia glanced at it quickly.
There is a clear line of handwriting on it in black and white, ,ββ King Cheng presents the phoenix concubine.
"Shh Xiao Duo tore the letter paper to shreds, crumpled it into a ball, his eyebrows were raised into two sharp swords, and his eyes flashed with "crackling" cyan lightning, as if he wanted to kill! He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles shiny, and commanded in the cold tone of the year before: "Take the cat down and raise it!" β
Pu Jia hurriedly picked up the cage of the Persian cat and went down quietly.
Xiao Duo was irritable, and walked to the bamboo forest behind him in a hurry, the bamboo shadows were swaying, rustling, and the breeze was blowing slowly from time to time, but this still couldn't dissipate his anger. Someone gave a Persian cat, saying that it was given to Ah Luan by King Cheng, this is someone calculating Ah Luan, of course he understands.
But ......, how much of this comes true? How much is it fake?
Why is it that when I think of Ah Luan having something to do with others, my heart is like being dug out, painful and empty! There are thousands of spider silks entangled, strangled one by one, making their heartbeat hurt.
In his heart, he was already a little sick to Xiao Zhan, so could he be teased again and again? Thinking of the past, Xiao Zhan's maintenance of her in the Jinluan Palace. Under the frightened horse, he hurried over to rescue,ββ if Xiao Zhan didn't find out that she was in danger, how could he be willing to come? I'm afraid that I have to save myself.
Ah Luan, Jiaojiao......, do you really have a past with Lao Qi?
How to verify? Xiao Duo quickly thought of this question, and it was definitely not possible to ask directly, as soon as he asked, he gambled all the loopholes. Knock on the side? How to side-knock? How to side-hit? My heart felt like I was stuffed with a ball of cotton, and it was itchy and uncomfortable, and it made my heart hurt,...... What if it's really going to happen?
Soon, more serious questions popped up.
If Ah Luan and Lao Qi really had something to do with each other before, how would they face them? ! The seventh is just right, if there is a chance, he will not die well! For the sake of the one he once saved, leave a whole corpse! But what about Ah Luan, how do you want to get rid of her?!
Xiao Duo lowered his head slowly, how to take out the person who lived in his heart?
A blood-drenched picture appeared in front of me.
******
Sleeping peacefully at night, Xiao Duo went to Nuan Xiangwu with a heavy heart.
Feng Luan was still in the dark and didn't know it, he was sitting on the couch teasing Duoduo, when he came, he had always been coquettish and couldn't come down to greet him, but smiled on the couch: "Liulang, you are here." I'm thinking that you won't have dinner and will stay in the study at night. β
Xiao Duo walked over and sat down on the edge of the couch, and asked with a smile, "Do you like these cats and dogs very much?" β
Feng Luan's eyes flashed, "It's okay." Seeing that his expression seemed to be different from usual, he couldn't help but be suspicious, so he quickly considered the words in his heart, "It's just fun, it's fun." As he spoke, he patted Duoduo to let it go down, and then stepped forward and put his arms around his neck, "You're here, I just want to play with you." β
Xiao Duo smiled: "It's still so naughty." Breaking her hand, "Let's go, pack up and go to bed." βββ
That's a little wrong!
Feng Luan became more and more suspicious in his heart, and when he usually took the initiative to pester him, he was very happy, and he always had to tease himself for a while in turn, and he would not stop until he was annoyed. ...... today, why don't you have any interest at all? While staying at the house to change clothes and wash, while thinking about it, what he just asked was, "Do you like these cats and dogs very much?" β
Cats and dogs? Duoduo is a dog, and he doesn't have a cat in his house at all.
Feng Luan cleaned up, and then took off his coat. bed, try to coquettishly come forward and put your arms around his neck, "Rokuro." Stretched out his leg and wrapped it up, with a shy and embarrassed look, "Did you miss me today?" β
"Thought." He said this, but he just tore her off and held her in his arms, and did not make any other movements.
Feng Luan stretched out his hand to his brow and rubbed it gently, "Aren't you tired after a busy day?" Looking at the cold and proud face, he asked in a low voice, "I'll rub it for you, okay?" β
"No, you don't." He smiled, grabbed her hand, and put it in the bed, "Beware of the cold, go to sleep." β
"Oh." Feng Luan thought with his hair, and knew that he had something on his mind. Because I felt faintly uneasy, I intuitively felt that things might be aimed at me, so I didn't say any more. Instead, he arched into his arms, leaning on his broad and strong chest, listening to his heartbeat,ββRokuro, what's wrong with you?"
The night passed, and I didn't sleep well for half the night.
The next day, as soon as Xiao Duo left in the morning, Feng Luan called Jiang's mother and Baozhu and instructed: "Wait a minute, let's go and check, who did the prince see in the mansion yesterday, ......well, or what did he receive?" "It's not that I'm too suspicious, but it's that Princess Duan and Concubine Jiang are unpredictable, and there will probably be moths recently, so it's better to be careful, "Don't let go of any clues!" β
"Yes!" Mother Jiang and Baozhu responded in unison.
Mother Jiang asked again: "Concubine Fang, what's wrong?" What did the prince say yesterday? β
Feng Luan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's just that he won't say anything that I'm worried." Pondering every word and every subtle expression he said yesterday, this sentence is the most suspicious ...... cats and dogs. Cats, cats, ......? I seem to remember something related to cats in my head, but I can't remember it.
"What's wrong? Side concubine. β
Feng Luan was a little anxious, not knowing what Lu Dao was for, and he always felt faintly uneasy in his heart. IntuitionSome conspiracy, like an invisible shadow, is quietly looming over me.
"Is there a ......," she frowned, "anything to do with cats?" Something to do with me, you think. β
Mother Jiang thought about it carefully, "Concubine Jiang has never raised a cat, and she has never raised a cat before she left the cabinet." β
"Yes, yes!" Baozhu's eyes suddenly lit up, she had always been thinking about King Cheng Xiao Zhan, so she quickly remembered that it was related to cats, and said quickly: "Didn't His Royal Highness King Cheng give a cat ...... before?" It was given to the side concubine, but it has been kept by the eldest lady, and it was still the news that I went to inquire about, so I remember it clearly. β
Feng Luan's face changed leisurely!
So, someone sent a letter to Xiao Duo privately? But this matter, it stands to reason that only the eldest lady knows about it, and according to the cautious nature of the eldest lady, it is impossible to leak the news.
I don't understand this, so I'll press it for now.
But Xiao Duo suddenly mentioned cats and dogs, did someone send him a letter? Still is......? Although he has dug a pit for Princess Duan and Concubine Jiang, the two of them are still pretending, if Mama Gong gets involved, or even involves others, there are too many I am afraid that I can't pretend to be able to fit.
Alas, there are too many people who hate themselves.
Feng Luan sighed and ordered, "Go, hurry up and check." I don't want to show too nervous looks, let the people below mess up, just do a gentle appearance, "Be careful, inquire carefully, don't alarm others." β
Baozhu's biggest ability is to inquire about the news, the eyeliner extends in all directions, the wrist is flexible,ββ the news is quickly inquired, but it is not good news.
"Someone sent a cat to the prince yesterday?!" Feng Luan listened to her reply and exclaimed.
"Yes." Baozhu's face is not very good, how can he say anything, he will come to anything, his little face is white, "I only know that Lu Dao has always been a white Persian cat, and the details are not clear." She was worried, "Concubine Fang, this ......, someone didn't mean to harm you, right?" I can't say, so I sent it to the cat that was similar to His Royal Highness King Cheng, and then instigated a few words, it was terrible. She couldn't help but stomp her feet again and again, "The prince must be trying to be crooked." β
"Alright, don't panic." Feng Luan knew that there might be a storm coming, but he didn't expect it to be this, it was very tricky, his eyes were clear and clear like jewels, and he looked at Mother Jiang, "Hurry up and let people go to Feng's house to see, the Persian cat sent by His Royal Highness King Cheng is still there?!" β
******
In the palace, the daily court meetings in the Jinluan Hall are similar.
Recently, there has been no particularly big government affairs, and it has always been mediocre, basically "there is a book to start playing, and there is no capital to retreat from the dynasty", in the midst of singing and dancing, the great eunuch Cai Liang sang: "Retreat from the dynasty ......"
The crown prince Xiao Ying was the first to retire, and Xiao Duo followed behind a group of brothers and slowly withdrew from the main hall.
The princes had a place to rest alone, and it was customary for the brothers to drink tea together and take a break before they separated. Therefore, it was different from the direction in which the courtiers dispersed, and as he was walking, a little eunuch suddenly ran around the corner, and by coincidence, he happened to crash into King Cheng Xiao Zhan.
"Idiot!" Xiao Zhan scolded and kicked away, "I don't have long eyes." β
The little eunuch hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "knock knock", and didn't dare to say a word to distinguish himself.
"Forget it, Seventh, why bother to be angry with a fool?" The prince was always gentle, generous and kind in front of people, stepped forward and smiled, patted his brother on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's drink tea to extinguish the fire." β
King Su also said: "Yes, let's go." β
Xiao Zhan is not good at coming to his brothers, and it is not good to beat people casually in the palace, so he responded: "Okay, let's go." β
Just as he was about to leave, King An suddenly stopped and pointed to a purse on the ground, "Who dropped something?" He always feared that the world would not be chaotic, so he picked it up, "Ouch, what a delicate purse." β
All the princes couldn't help but look over.
The seaweed-green satin bottom is smooth as water, and there are a few white lotus flowers embroidered on it, such as jade, yellow yellow stamen, and a few traces of light blue water waves, the embroidery is exquisite, and the stitches are very fine.
Xiao Zhan frowned, grabbed it in his hand, "Give it back to me." β
An Wang smiled and said, "Brother and sister are good at craftsmanship." β
Prince Xiao Ying also smiled, "Seventh, it seems that I love my younger siblings very much." β
Xiao Zhan said lightly: "Brothers, don't make fun of it. β
An Wang said: "How can you be shy? Let my brothers envy me. β
All the princes are hip-hop, laughing, just being a fun thing.
Only Xiao Duo couldn't laugh,ββ that purse! I have seen similar ones in Ah Luan, the color is almost the same, and the embroiderers are similar, is it the same person's needlework? He wanted to take a closer look, but he couldn't go to his brother to ask for it, so he could only remain silent, hook the corners of his mouth and smile.
It happened to be a coincidence, and of course I knew it in my heart.
But what is going on with the purse, true and false, false and real, we must find out!
The author has something to say: Brother Hao: "What about me, what about me!" Master, what about my role!! β
Sister Wu'er: "(β―β΅β‘β²)β―(β»ββ»"
A certain Yan β_βb, "When you Ma Ma solves this turmoil, I will ...... and let you out~"
