20. A matter of one sentence
If she is still questioning Shicai, then now she can be completely sure that the owner of the village is slandering, and before she has met, she will let Gu Chichi have a bad image of Ma Guifei, ordinary people will quarrel with her when they hear these words and see Ma Guifei, but Gu Chichi is not an ordinary person!
"Eldest princess, please." The dilapidated courtyard was close at hand, the owner of the village smiled flatteringly, walked a few steps quickly, opened the courtyard door, and Gu Chichi took Xiaoying's hand and walked in.
"Big ...... Eldest Princess! Ma Guifei's personal maid Hongling was decocting medicine in the courtyard, looking at Gu Chichi, who came elegantly, she was stunned: subconsciously, she felt that Gu Chichi was a little different from the past, but what was different, she couldn't tell......
The faint smell of medicine filled the air, and Gu Chichi smiled lightly: "Who is sick?" Is it Ma Guifei? ”
Hongling came back to her senses in an instant, quickly lowered her head, and saluted: "Back to the eldest princess, it's ......"
"Is it from the royal family?" The door opened, and a beautiful young woman with a colorless face, dressed in a cardigan silk shirt, and a bamboo leaf skirt, walked out with the support of the maidservant, her eyes were blue, her eyes were exhausted, her clothes were neat, and she was not wearing hair ornaments with her hair in a bun, and she was a little confused.
"Ma Guifei!" Gu has been slow to inspect the current beautiful young woman, nearly thirty, properly maintained, full of charm, and between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, with a sad face that cannot be dissipated.
"Eldest Princess." Ma Guifei's eyes filled with expectation dimmed instantly, faintly, with a little vigilance: "How can the eldest princess have time to come to Zhuangzi outside the city?" ”
"The cherries on the Zhuangzi are ripe, I'll pick a few for the Queen Mother and Daddy to eat." Gu Chichi smiled faintly, and secretly investigated Ma Guifei's look: "I have already seen the cherries stored in the courtyard in front, and the brilliance is a little poor, according to the owner, the high-quality cherries have been sent to Ma Guifei here, so I have come to select a few and bring them back to the royal family." ”
Gu Chichi deliberately intensified the name of the owner of the village, because he wanted to report to Concubine Ma, and she came here because the owner said that there were many cherries here, not because he came to her with the intention of being difficult.
Ma Guifei smiled slightly: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty wants to eat cherries, naturally you have to eat the best ones, red candles, go and take out that basket of cherries......" Gu Chichi, as if it was a little different from the past.
A basket? Gu Chichi frowned slightly: "Ma Guifei here, is there only a basket of cherries?" "Work is becoming more and more meaningful.
"Yes, I only ordered the maid to take a basket of high-quality cherries, and I haven't had time to eat them......" Ma Guifei sighed lightly: "The harvest of Zhuangzi is poor, and the high-quality ingredients are much less than in the past, and there are only a few baskets of each, what is very unexpected is that there is only one basket of high-quality cherries, I knew that this was the case, I would have asked the owner of the village to send it to the royal family, and I would never eat it myself......"
Ma Guifei took retreat as advance, and took the cherry matter to find out if she was a person sent by Zhang Guifei, every step she took, be cautious, not brief.
However, if you think about it carefully, she fought with Zhang Guifei, who was the royal concubine, for three years, before she was caught a little wrong, how could she be a sketchy footstep, and the other royal concubines were either killed or sold, but she was the only one who was relegated to Zhuangzi and thought about it.
"But according to the owner, Concubine Ma ordered someone to take back a few baskets of high-quality cherries, not a basket." Gu Chichi did not debate with Ma Guifei, but pushed the obligation to the owner of the village, wanting her to know that he and Zhang Guifei were not in the same group.
"It's not going to work." Ma Guifei hurriedly denied: "I only asked someone to bring a basket of cherries over......"
His eyes turned to the owner, and his words were sharp and angry: "The owner of the village, which handmaid next to me took those baskets of cherries?" It's really bold, in my name, to fill my own pockets, greedy for high-quality cherries, and eat bear heart and leopard gall......"
Gu Chichi smiled lightly, there were agents by Ma Guifei's side, I don't know if the owner of the village will bite her out in order to defend himself......
"This ......" the owner of the village was sweating anxiously, the original decision, he slandered Ma Guifei in the Zhuangzi only respect, the eldest princess was angry, entered the courtyard, indiscriminately quarreled with Ma Guifei, and even fought, Zhang Guifei and her own decision was implemented smoothly.
Who would have thought that he tried his best to say that his mouth was dry, and he failed to make them hostile to each other, and they added fists and kicks, on the contrary, the two not only lived peacefully, but also joined forces, unanimously pushed all the problems on themselves, what should I do next......
Gu Chichi smiled slightly: "The owner of the village has not replied to Ma Guifei's question for a long time, but is there something unspeakable?" ”
"No...... There is no ......" The owner of the village hurriedly denied that he was the owner of the village, if he protected a servant girl and was found out, he would definitely be wronged for fornication, and then the crime would be big: "The one who took away a few baskets of cherries is a red shell!" "You can't ruin your way out because of Hongbei's problem!
Ma Guifei's eyes narrowed slightly: "Hongling, go and call Hongbei." "I didn't expect to have a white-eyed wolf by my side.
After a while, Hongbei was called, dressed in green, fragrant and beautiful, the corners of his eyes rose slightly, and he was indescribably charming: "Eldest princess Da'an, Ma Guifei 'an!" The surroundings were quiet and dark, dozens of pairs of eyes were concentrated on her, Hongbei's heart was terrified, and her heart was 'plopping' and jumping: "Is there something wrong with the concubine looking for a slave?" ”
"Hongbei, how many cherries did you take?" In the past, she didn't discuss other ingredients in her own name, Ma Guifei smiled, her tone was quiet, and when she heard Hongbei's ears, she was like a magic sound, her body trembled, and she secretly raised her eyes to look at the owner, but saw that he was also looking at her coldly, as if to warn her, don't talk nonsense, her legs were weak, Hongbei fell to her knees, and cried:
"The concubine spares her life...... The slave's mother is seriously ill, she doesn't want to eat anything, she just wants to eat some cherries...... "The work is exposed, it must be the owner of the village who has offered himself, here is the land of the owner, he is weak, and he can't be blamed on him, otherwise, the situation is all miserable, and he temporarily admits that he is bad, and he will return to the palace in the future, and he will gain power, and he is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to rectify his small owner."
"Hongbei, you signed a death deed, which is equivalent to selling to the royal family, your Lao Tzu Niang has nothing to do with you, even if you can't bear it and want to be filial, you don't need to take a few baskets of high-quality cherries and return, are you finished eating?" Ma Guifei laughed in her heart, she really didn't know whether to call her stupid or an idiot, and such a loophole source was also used: "Don't you plan to tell the truth?" ”
Ma Guifei was stunned for a moment, and then her liver was on fire, but she made a small mistake, and she hadn't yet highlighted the defeat, so she burned her eyebrows and climbed another high branch under her nose, she was really a smart and powerful white-eyed wolf, and her importance to her and the grace of reinvention had long been forgotten outside the clouds......
"Hongbei, Ma Guifei is our master, how can you go beyond your master?" Hongling was furious: Even if you want to welcome the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, you should report it to the concubine.
"All I did...... It's all for the concubine......" Hongbei cried louder and louder, and the more she cried, the more aggrieved she became: "The premise of Zhuangzi is too bitter, eating, wearing, living, and using are much worse than the royal family, the slaves and maids don't care, it is rare that the concubine is a golden body, how can she suffer this kind of suffering here, not to mention, the concubine is weak, and if she continues to live, she will definitely not be able to endure it......"
"The concubine made a mistake, she was punished here, without the promise of the queen mother and His Majesty, she could not return to the royal family, the slave and maid secretly took the cherry on her own initiative, and it was prepared to send it to the palace to intercede, if they promised the concubine to return to the palace, a merit, in case the queen mother, Your Majesty is still angry, and the slave will bear all the charges alone, and will not implicate the concubine, the concubine has no idea about the work, and naturally will not be sad......"
Ma Guifei is a little confused, is the work really as promised? Hongbei is her second-class maidservant, with a straightforward personality, and she is kind to her......
Gu Chi laughed silently, showing that it was Hongbei who accepted Zhang Guifei's intentions, took away all the high-quality cherries, and wanted to let herself have a debate with Ma Guifei, but she was not safe, the trick was seen through, and she was the culprit was found out, in order to defend herself, she was very clever to reverse the short and long, and said that her selfish interests were infinite loyalty and care for Ma Guifei......
Ma Guifei didn't know Zhang Guifei's conspiracy, it was not surprising that Hongbei's words were shaken, she was here to stop Zhang Guifei's decision-making, and she must restore her work, and she must not let the villain succeed!
"Hongbei, you are just a slave, even if it is for the good of the concubine, you don't have the authority to make any claims beyond the master, if the queen mother and your majesty have forgiven Ma Guifei, and you took the cherry to the royal family, can you bear the crime of disrespecting the rules? Ma Guifei is your master, even if she really doesn't know, she will be implicated because of you, maybe the queen mother is angry, let Ma Guifei think here for most of her life, and she will never be able to return to the royal family, you are not doing this, you are not helping her, the basis is harming her......"
Hongbei has a clever mouth, and can say that the dead are alive, and Gu Chichi can naturally copy and emulate them, and say that the living is dead, and with the wisdom of Ma Guifei, they can all understand the meaning.
"The concubine forgives her sins, the slaves and maids want to make the concubine good, but I didn't expect so many ......" Hongbei trembled all over, like a chicken pecking rice, and kowtowed continuously: Gu Chichi is really hateful, he actually ruined his merits, and when he returns to the royal family, he will definitely make her look good......
Ma Guifei stood in place and did not move, silent, and her face was very embarrassed!
Hongbei straightened up and sobbed softly: "Guifei, the slave maid has made a mistake and deserves to be punished, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty will not come to Zhuangzi, you take the slave and maid back to the royal court to be punished, in this way, the concubine will enter the palace openly and uprightly, and when you see the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, you will ...... That job...... Explain to them, I believe that the concubine will be able to stay in the royal family, the concubine has the grace of reinvention for the slave and maid, and for the future of the concubine, the slave and maid are happy to bear all the punishments......"
Gu Chichi hooked her lips and smiled, she was really a righteous slave, I didn't know, I thought she was wholeheartedly good for Ma Guifei, in fact, she was afraid that Ma Guifei would punish her privately, so she would go up the vine, there was this initiation, the royal family but Zhang Guifei was in charge, back over there, Ma Guifei couldn't be the master of all the work, and the light punishment was heavy on Hongbei, and it was not a matter of Zhang Guifei's words......
