Chapter 12: The Thoughts of the Ladies

Lu Qiao is a real person, she doesn't have any ideas about Liu Xu, it's just that what Hong Xuan said is too ambiguous, which makes people suspicious, she has seen some of the methods of the Seventh Lady, if she suspects that she has any bad intentions......

Mo Ziyu smiled slightly: "I naturally know what kind of person you are, but I can't get used to Mama Kong's personality, but you have to be cautious in the future, today the prince didn't care, if you change to someone else, maybe it won't be so easy." ”

Lu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "The girl doesn't have a lot of heart, it's fine." ”

"Freshen up, it's time to rest. Mo Ziyu's heart swelled with a touch of exhaustion, and she was also relieved about Liu Xu's departure, although she wanted to borrow Liu Xu's hand to deal with Liu Ling and Fuyuan, but she was still his brother and daughter-in-law before, and she couldn't get through this hurdle in her heart.

Moreover, from the moment Zhao Ling stepped into Qiushui Garden, there must have been many pairs of eyes staring here, if Zhao Ling stayed, the pattern of the inner courtyard of this palace was only afraid of changing, and she had not yet gained a firm foothold, which was not enough to deal with the next changes, so everything was not yet time.

Although the night was already deep, the lights of Jiaozhiyuan were still on, and there was a "crackling" sound of abacus in the house, and the maids outside the house yawned and waited carefully.

Lily of the valley took the ginseng soup inside, lit up the candle flame a little, and said, "Madam, it's time to rest." ”

Yang Shi turned his wrist, took a sip of ginseng soup, and asked, "Where is the prince resting tonight?"

"The prince left Qiushuiyuan and went to the princess. Lily of the valley said.

"Qiushui Garden?" Yang paused slightly, "Where is the?"

"A cheap maid, Mrs. doesn't have to take her to heart at all, it is said that she went to please the prince and let the prince go to her courtyard for a while, but isn't it that she didn't keep people?"

Yang drank the ginseng soup thoughtfully, Lily of the Valley looked at her face, paused slightly, and said: "That person in Qiushuiyuan, who was born as a slave and maid, is often bullied by his subordinates, and the prince's temperament has always been selfless, so he will teach a lesson, which can only explain Jiang Liu's incompetence." Those astonishing words before may have been just the princess's behind-the-scenes teaching, she herself is still a straw bag, and the prince must have seen through this, so he left overnight. ”

"You have a point. Yang nodded, "Anyway, she's just an insignificant little character." If she is really the princess who uses it to share favors, it should be the fox girl in Wuling Courtyard who should be anxious. ”

The third lady You and the second lady Yang, like the second lady, did not rest at the moment, but were preparing for their own flower banquet a few days later.

She has a house in the western suburbs, which was given to her by Liu Xu on her twentieth birthday, and she has collected a lot of exotic flowers and plants from all over the country.

In the middle of summer, when the flowers are blooming, only the words in the house are blooming at the right time, so she has to hold a flower banquet at this time every year to feast the noblewomen and daughters in Beijing.

The maid Qi'er glanced at the banquet list drawn up by You Shi, and asked strangely, "Why does Madame want to entertain this Madame Fuhui?"

Mrs. Fu Hui was originally the maid of Princess Qin, but she hooked up with King Qin before marriage, and even entered the door with Princess Qin on the wedding day. Although Mrs. Furao was favored after marrying into the palace, her behavior was still a little despicable.

"Princess Qin is dead, this Mrs. Fu Hui is the nominal mistress of this Qin Palace, and it is a little unreasonable not to invite her. You Shi said lightly, "Regardless of the quality of character for the time being, this Mrs. Furao has beauty and means, and there must be a place for her in this capital, and it doesn't hurt to make friends with her." ”

After a pause, You Shi thought for a while and asked, "Did the prince go to the second lady tonight?"

"The prince left Qiushuiyuan and went to the princess. ”

"Oh, Shuiqiuyuan?" You Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's kind of interesting." ”

"If it weren't for Mrs. You, Qiushuiyuan would have been sold by the second lady a long time ago, and to this day, I haven't seen her come to the door to say a word of thanks. It's better for her to go and talk to the fourth lady!" Qi'er snorted, "I really saved a white-eyed wolf!"

"What's the use of asking her thanks?" You Shi smiled lightly, "The fourth lady has been huddled in her courtyard all day, and she has given birth to a son, and she is a tricky person. She had always wanted to stay out of the matter, and if the Qiushui Yuan could drag her in and lie down in the muddy water, it would be her ability. Liang Zi of Jiang Liu and the second lady is next, for me, even if Jiang Liu can show her prominence in the palace, it is not harmful, as long as she can be within my control, I don't mind pushing her. ”

In the past, the third lady and the second lady fought against each other, and their strength was equal, but now the second lady has obviously suppressed the third lady, and the princess and the fourth lady have always stayed out of the matter, so the third lady must unite with another person to deal with the second lady, maybe this Jiang Liu is really a good candidate.

There is ambition, there is no shortage of beauty, and it is easy to handle.

"It's still Madame's foresight!" Qi'er said with a light smile.

Since Liu Xu came to Qiushuiyuan, although he stayed overnight, it also made everyone have a little hope, especially the second daughter-in-law of Bao was taught a lesson, which made everyone tremble and dare not think about being so lazy in the past.

And after Mama Kong was choked last night, she finally stopped lying on the bed today, but walked around, but for the people in Qiushui Garden, she might as well lie still.

This Mama Kong relied on her identity to point fingers in Qiushui Garden, either finding fault with this person who was not good at doing things, or disgusted that her hands and feet were not sharp, and she had to point out and show her status from the inside out.

Previously, there was a second daughter-in-law of Bao who was able to talk to Mama Kong, and now everyone's hearts are probably thinking about Mo Ziyu, this Mama Kong's behavior is disgusting, which is naturally unpopular and unaccustomed to people.

Everyone still has a bit of identity next to this Mama Kong, and they didn't say anything in person, but secretly told Mo Ziyu a few times. Mo Ziyu only comforted the complainant with kind words every time, but he never really dealt with Mama Kong, and even scolded her for half a sentence.

Lu Qiao's temperament was the most anxious, and she stomped her feet and complained: "Girl, do you care or not, Mama Kong took advantage of our efforts to deliver porridge to the prince today, and came to our house to rummage around, and every drawer was looked through, and Cui Ping could see it clearly." She didn't follow her kindness, and it's not a way to keep her like this!"

"Now is not the time, even if I want to drive her away, it can't be me who speaks, she has to make an unforgivable mistake herself!" Mo Ziyu said lightly, "Do you know Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan?"

"What Uncle Zheng? I don't understand. Lu Qiao sighed, "Bao's second daughter-in-law is gone, the big guy has just taken his heart, if you continue to let Mama Kong go on like this, this little people's hearts that have been gathered with great difficulty will have to be dispersed again!"

"Rest assured, I have a sense of proportion. Mo Ziyu smiled slightly, looking down at the invitation card in his hand.

The flower banquet of the three ladies Zhang Luo has also participated in previous years, and this year, the former princess Qin is already a wisp of dead soul, so she will inevitably invite Fu Rui to come.

Thinking of Hibiscus, Mo Ziyu's eyes were filled with a hint of coldness and hatred.

My father and brother are now on the battlefield, and I don't know how sad I will be if I hear about my death.

Fu Yuan, even if you die, the position of Princess Qin is vacant, and I am sure that you may not be able to sit in that position.

"You've been staring at this invitation for a long time, and you're about to be stared through. Midori snorted.

"If you are originally from the Qi Palace, if the third lady wants to take me to the flower banquet, just say the last sentence, why bother to give me an invitation alone?" Mo Ziyu's fingers looked at the table lightly.

"The third lady is exquisite. Lu Qiao said, "Last time, the third lady helped us, and you didn't thank others! People are tolerant, not only did they not take it to heart, but they are also willing to take you to such a grand occasion!"

"The success or failure of one person in this palace is not just one person, but related to the honor and disgrace of dozens of people behind him or even the entire family. I don't know if the third lady is particular about it, I only know that I, an inconspicuous little person, may have become a pawn that the third lady thinks can be used. ”

After a pause, Mo Ziyu said again: "You find a few people to come in, remove all these bells and whistles in the house, and leave only the most basic utensils." There are also spices lit in the house on weekdays, and you won't need them in the future, just keep two pots of orchids in the house. ”

"All withdrawn?" she bit her lip, "these are your favorites." ”

"The prince doesn't like it, what's the use of liking it?"

Mo Ziyu still insisted on cooking porridge for the prince every day and then delivering it to him in person, so he insisted on it for half a month, no longer visited the fourth lady, and occasionally asked the princess to say goodbye.

In the early morning of this day, Liu Changqing was practicing boxing, and his martial arts Liu Xu taught him personally, so the movements were very standard, and his delicate little face was already covered with a layer of fine sweat.

After a set of punches, he showed off and trotted towards Liu Xu on the stone bench, and asked proudly, "What does my father think?"

"The movements are fast and beautiful, the punches are not so soft as before, and they have improved a lot, my father is very pleased!" Liu Xu smiled kindly, "Sit down and rest." ”

"These days, I have been eating porridge sent by the Seventh Lady every morning, and it is strange to say that these days I feel much better in spirit than before, and I sleep very well at night, and my body seems to be much stronger. Liu Changqing said, "Mother also feels like this, so she asked people to study the contents of the Seventh Lady's porridge, which are just some of the most ordinary materials, supplemented by two medicinal materials, and the effect is better than those specially developed pills!"

"Oh? Liu Xu took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"By the way, the son also wants to ask his father for something on behalf of the Seventh Lady. Liu Changqing got up and clenched his fists and said.
