Chapter 52: Can't Fight You, Can't You Fight a Handmaiden?
Just after midnight, Aunt Murong carried the bowl of brown-red fetal pills and entered the dormitory with light steps, Qin Yuan was sitting on the bed resting at this time, Aunt Lan and Dye Shuang were sitting on the side, as if they were carefully fiddling with something, and when they looked closely, it was actually a basket of grain, in which all kinds of crops were placed.
Aunt Murong walked in and said, "The slave maid asks for peace to Concubine Huigui, Concubine Hui Wan'an, Concubine Hui, it's time to take fetal medicine." ”
Qin Yuan raised her eyes and took a look, and saw that Aunt Murong's face was a little frivolous, and the corners of her eyebrows and lips seemed to be smiling, but she didn't see the closeness and peace, and drew a trench with everyone.
Qin Yuan read Aunt Murong's triumphant look, an invisible contempt flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly and said gently, "Take it." Aunt Murong took a few steps forward and handed the medicine bowl to Qin Yuan, after Qin Yuan raised her hand to take it, she raised her head and drank it decisively, her face was very calm, as if this fetal medicine did not have a trace of bitterness.
Qin Yuan endured the bitterness of the fetal pill, slowly swallowed a mouthful of spit, and handed the medicine bowl to Aunt Murong with a kind smile, Aunt Murong bent slightly and stepped forward to take it, just when she was about to touch the medicine bowl, Qin Yuan suddenly let go, and the jade bowl fell to the ground in response, which startled Aunt Murong.
Qin Yuan's originally kind appearance suddenly changed, she looked at Aunt Murong with extreme displeasure, and said in a mean tone, "Aunt Murong, what do you mean by this?" Aunt Murong's brows furrowed, and she hurriedly bowed her head slightly and whispered, "Niangniang, before the slave and maid take it, you let go." ”
The corners of Qin Yuan's mouth slanted, "Oh? According to Aunt Murong's meaning, did this concubine deliberately drop this jade bowl? Although Aunt Murong's face did not show a trace of panic, her tone became low, "The slave maid didn't mean this, it was the slave maid who was slow to move and didn't take the medicine in time, which frightened the mother." ”
Qin Yuan saw that Aunt Murong's words had changed, the corners of her mouth raised with satisfaction, and Zhang Dehai interjected on the side at this time, "Aunt Murong, if the slave is not mistaken, this medicine is made of good mutton fat white jade, as we all know, the broken jade is a very bad omen, Hui Guifei is now pregnant with a dragon fetus, why is Aunt Murong so careless." ”
Aunt Murong tightened her silk handkerchief, and said unwillingly, "The slave maid accidentally made a mistake for a while, and I hope that the noble concubine will be punished." ”
Qin Yuan glanced at Aunt Murong contemptuously, the corners of her mouth were raised obliquely, and there was a hint of bitterness in her soft voice, "Aunt Murong is also careless, don't blame yourself too much." When Aunt Murong heard this, her face became a little more relaxed, and who knew that Qin Yuan slowly spoke again, "But what Zhang Dehai said is also right, now that this concubine is pregnant with a dragon fetus, this jade is broken, which is indeed not a good sign." ”
Aunt Murong's originally relaxed face tensed up again at the moment, "The slave is willing to be punished." ”
Qin Yuan glanced at Aunt Murong, pointed to Aunt Lan and Frost's reassuring and said, "Aunt Murong works hard for this concubine every day, how can this concubine be willing to punish Aunt Murong, but if Aunt Murong really can't get by, this concubine will fulfill Aunt Murong, a few days ago, the small kitchen of this concubine Jinhua Hall caught fire, and in the process of renovation, a lot of food was picked up, and the people were going to throw it away, but it was a pity for this concubine to look at it, the food can't be wasted, Aunt Murong is a little tired, pick out all kinds of food, In the future, this concubine will eat the food selected by Aunt Murong, and the fetus in her womb will also be grateful to you. ”
When Aunt Murong entered the hall just now, she just glanced at it roughly, and then looked carefully in the direction that Qin Yuan pointed, Aunt Lan and Dye Shuang still kept picking with both hands, and then looked at the grain basket, there were all kinds of rice grains of different sizes, including rice, millet, red beans, mung beans, barley, barley rice, etc., if they were picked out one by one, I was afraid that they would not be able to pick them out overnight, and Aunt Murong suddenly looked at Qin Yuan in shock.
Qin Yuan blinked softly and said indifferently, "What? Aunt Murong is unwilling? Aunt Murong gritted her teeth and squeezed out a somewhat extremely unnatural smile, "It is an honor for a slave to be able to serve Concubine Huigui." Qin Yuan immediately smiled and said, "Aunt Lan, Dye Frost, you two can rest for a while, just move the grain to the cabinet and give it to Aunt Murong." ”
Aunt Lan and Dye Shuang responded, and then moved the food basket out of the room, Aunt Murong had anger in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to follow out of the dormitory, Qin Yuan looked at Aunt Murong's back, a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and then instructed Zhang Dehai to say, "The dormitory is too dark, bring in a few candles from the cabinet, just leave one for Aunt Murong." ”
At this moment, Qing Cang is sitting in the imperial study to review the folds, the candlelight is shining, reflecting Qing Cang's handsome face, which is particularly angular and tangible, and the pupils are occasionally slightly smart, like crystal beads as attractive, I saw Qing Cang's eyes staring at the fold, sometimes raising his hand to pause the tip of the pen, his brows furrowed slightly, showing a look of anxiety, sometimes the tip of the pen is fluent, his eyes flashed with excitement, and a pair of tightly locked eyebrows slowly stretched.
Qing Cang swept slightly, and finally nodded with satisfaction, closed the last piece of the fold and put it aside, and approved the fold for two whole hours, Qing Cang felt a little tired, lazily rested on the chair, his eyes wandered casually, and suddenly stopped on the pen stand, in addition to hanging the dragon beard tribute pen at both ends of the pen stand, there was a pair of dragon play beads hanging at the end, since Qin Yuan gave it to him when he was sleeping in the New Year, he has been hanging on the pen stand in the imperial study.
Qing Cang took off the purse, put it in his hand and stroked it gently, the fragrance of nothingness emanated in the air, and his mind couldn't help flashing the appearance of Qin Yuan, sometimes gentle and graceful, sometimes stubborn and arrogant, the corners of Qing Cang's mouth were slightly curved, with a calm and beautiful state, he had to admit that he had a strong interest in her.
He knew that he had wronged Qin Yuan before, and he wanted Qin Yuan to live in the Temple of Ann and make up for it, but who knew that Qin Yuan was so disgusted with him, and even beat him, he was slapped for the first time in his life, the king of the high, what kind of humiliation is this, if it is placed on others, at least it will be beheaded, but Qing Cang can still smile at Qin Yuan, he doesn't want her to die, he is angry, he wants Qin Yuan to know the way, provoke him, what kind of end.
Qing Cang played with the purse in his hand, his smile slowly turned into an evil color, and he said proudly in his heart: Xue Qinyuan, since you are so ignorant, there is no need for me to be in favor of you, aren't you unruly? I want to see how strong you really are. Unless you're dead, don't try to escape from my palms! Thinking of this, Qing Cang clenched the purse in his hand, and the corners of his mouth raised proudly.
Zhou Ruiqing gently pushed the door and walked in at this time, bowing slightly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui obediently drank the fetal pills." Qing Cang smiled away, could it be that Qin Yuan just gave in? Qing Cang couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and slowly spoke, "I know how to go. Zhou Ruiqing raised his eyes slightly and looked at Qing Cang's eyes, and said in a low voice, "But Aunt Murong was punished by Concubine Huigui." ”
Qing Cang asked for a moment, "What's going on?" ”
"When the servant heard that Aunt Murong didn't catch the medicine bowl, so that the medicine bowl fell to the ground and shattered, Concubine Hui was angry for a while, so she punished Aunt Murong for picking out a variety of grains in the food basket."
"Grain?"
Zhou Ruiqing nodded slightly, "The emperor doesn't know, didn't the small kitchen of Jinhua Hall run out of water a few days ago, and a lot of grain was picked up during the renovation, and the palace people wanted to throw it away, but Hui Guifei felt that it was a pity, so she asked someone to send it to Jinhua Palace, and kept it for weekday eating, tonight Aunt Murong offended Hui Gui Concubine, and Hui Gui Concubine punished Aunt Murong for picking out the grain in the grain basket one by one, sorting and putting it away, the grain grains are small and numerous, and Aunt Murong is afraid that it will take some effort to pick it. ”
After Qing Cang listened to Zhou Ruiqing's slow words, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, he knew that Qin Yuan would not compromise on this, but he turned to Aunt Murong, Qing Cang re-hung the purse on the pen stand, and decisively got up and strode towards the Jinhua Palace, the purse hung on the pen stand and swayed slightly, and the long tassels rippled in the air, as if it was indicating a certain feeling, giving birth to a new sprout.
