Chapter 101: Ji Concubine

Hua Ying was also a little surprised when she heard her say these thoughtful words, thinking that Concubine Ji was timid and subtle, only relying on Concubine Ling, and unwilling to pay attention to others, now it seems that she is also a person of temperament, but she is suppressed by the arrogance of Concubine Ling, in fact, she knows that it is for her daughter to have a good future.

"Thank you sister for your concern, I'm fine, isn't the eldest princess here?" Hua Ying saw that there was no child in the house, so she asked, this is also the purpose of her coming here today.

"That girl is older than the second princess, and she always feels that she can't play anywhere, so she loves to go outside to play, and she won't go again." When Concubine Ji mentioned her child, even her eyes were much gentler, but the eldest princess followed her, and her personality was soft and glutinous, and she was easy to be bullied.

"The child is easy when he is older, Yinze is still young, I have to ask the people below to take care of me when I go out." Hua Ying smiled: "In two years, the princess should also get married, but she has to find a good family." ”

"If you can find any good family, as long as it is a stable one," Speaking of this, Concubine Ji seemed to open the conversation: "What the concubine is most afraid of is to go to that remote place and get married, but my mother's family is not good, and the eldest princess is afraid that people will not look down on it, but I can live this life in peace and stability, and I will be relieved to be reunited and harmonious after marriage." ”

Speaking of this, he also whispered to Hua Ying: "As for me, as long as I don't end up like a noble person, I'll be fine." ”

"What my sister said, we won't do that." Hua Ying smiled slightly, knowing that the time was almost up, so she asked, "Wasn't the eldest princess very sick a few months ago?" I heard you mention a few words that you went out to play and got flower poison, but I forgot to ask, how did you get flower poison?"

When Concubine Ji saw that she suddenly mentioned this matter, she seemed to have some trouble remembering: "That child loves to make trouble among the flowers and plants, as if the flower room has also cultivated some new varieties in the past few days, for the concubines to watch, there seem to be flowers and plants in it that cannot be touched." ”

"Then how can you watch it?" Hua Ying was puzzled.

"It must be that the concubines love to watch, you don't know, the queen and Concubine Ling also often hold flower-viewing banquets, so the flower room is also a place in the harem that needs a lot of people, at most a few words of advice not to let people touch, just watch it from a distance, and Wen may not have listened to the instructions of the next person at that time and broke in." Concubine Ji lost the leisure mood of chatting just now, and was a little puzzled: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Sister, I'll tell you the truth, I suspect that my child is not harmed by Yue Guiren, but someone else, a few days ago I remembered, what you said about the situation of the eldest princess, and the situation of the eldest princess is very similar to the contamination of hydrangea pollen, Doctor Jia also said that the eldest princess is indeed infected with hydrangea poison, and I am also infected with flower poison, and I didn't take it seriously when I was pregnant, and finally I didn't have a child, so I became suspicious and wanted to come and see." Hua Ying didn't hide it when she saw this, so she explained the reason, even if the eldest princess was playful, she was also an introvert, how could she ignore the obstruction of her subordinates.

Ji Concubine waved her hand as if she was afraid of being contaminated with something: "I don't know this, gentle things are just accidental, if you are suspicious, go to others to ask questions." ”

"Sister doesn't doubt it? How could something poisonous be stumbled upon by Celestia? I've already asked the minions of the flower room, they are all strictly guarded, for fear that someone will poison them and make them lose their heads, if you don't believe my sister, you can also ask!"

Hua Ying has actually not been to the flower room yet, but she also knows with her toes that if they harm their masters, they will not be able to save their lives, and they will take the risk of cultivating ornamental flowers, and naturally they will also tell the people under them not to let others approach, so as not to be poisoned, but Hua Ying still can't understand that in a place like the harem that is sensitive to the heirs, how dare they cultivate hydrangeas that can slip tires?

Thinking of this, Hua Ying still wanted to fight again, Concubine Ji had already called someone to send off the guests, Hua Ying didn't want to embarrass each other like this, so she stopped talking, after all, she couldn't be sure what was going on.

"Since my sister is unwilling to tell my sister the specific situation, my sister will not force it." Hua Ying got up, said goodbye to Concubine Ji, and said before leaving: "Sister doesn't know that from the time you choose to stand on someone else's side, it is impossible to stay out of the matter, unless you can choose the right person and do the right thing." ”

Hua Ying came out of the palace of Ji Concubine and did not return to the palace, but went directly to the flower room, when she arrived, there were not a few servants in the flower room, because most of the masters in the palace were gone, and it was also spring, only a few people stayed in the flower room to clean the ground.

"The slave has seen Concubine Yun."

"Let your flower house steward come out." With the matter of the Shangyi Bureau last time, the slave didn't dare to talk to Hua Ying more, and his legs and feet quickly called the servant in charge of the flower room.

The housekeeper of the flower room first bowed respectfully, and then said puzzledly: "Niangniang came here today, but there is a problem with the flowers and plants in the courtyard?" "Hua Ying came here once before, and only asked people to give Shun noble spring flowers, and the flowers and plants in Jingyang Palace are also managed regularly, today, why did you come here in person.

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be nervous, it's just that there are some flower problems in the palace and I want to ask my father-in-law." Hua Ying glanced at her, and took the others down lightly, and the father-in-law of the flower house chuckled in his heart, where is this posture of asking for advice.

"If the mother has any orders, please say it."

"You slaves are so bold that you dare to harm the emperor's dragon heir, I don't know what crime to be guilty of." Hua Ying played with the armor in her hand, because the child had just gone, it was just a simple silver armor, but it made people look as good as other mothers.

The slave was startled, knelt down and said: "The previous servant in charge of this hydrangea matter has been explained to the emperor, and he was also removed from his post and sent away. ”

"Oh? Just because there are concubines who like it, you will cultivate hydrangeas in a big way, but this palace has heard that there are many blue flowers, why do you cultivate hydrangeas? ”

"The slave was a watering flower before, I don't know the specific reason, but I heard someone mention it, saying that hydrangeas are more beautiful, and girls like them, but they are very toxic." The eunuch thought about it, but still spoke: "Especially Concubine Lingniang, I like to arrange flowers to pass the time, after a long time, I prefer exotic flowers and plants, and I can't look down on ordinary flowers, especially the brightly colored ones, which are more loved by Concubine Ling, so the witty words around her have come to the flower room to direct the minions to send some novel flowers, and last year, hydrangea was introduced." ”

"What about the Queen?"

"The queen still prefers peonies and other atmospheric flowers, as well as chrysanthemums and other flowers, and occasionally prunes them herself, and I heard that the queen mother knows a lot about flowers. Only Concubine Jiang didn't care much, and her palace was full of sparse and ordinary flowers. The eunuch replied truthfully, and there was no loophole in what he said, even if the two ladies liked flowers, there was no reason to know the harm of hydrangeas, let alone use hydrangeas to harm people.

"Isn't there a lady who asks for hydrangeas by name?" Hua Ying still didn't want to give up.

"Really no, last year, Concubine Ling held a flower-viewing banquet, and only said that she wanted some flowers of uncommon colors, and chrysanthemums are not in season, and the minions thought about hydrangeas for a long time."

It seems that there is only so much he knows, and Hua Ying also gave him some reward. After returning to the palace, she got Lan Yi's complaint without accident: "How can Concubine Ji be like this, really drive the master out?"

"Concubine Ji doesn't like to do much, such a character is also understandable, just Niangniang, what do you want to do next?" Hui Xin pulled Lan Yu and asked her to be quiet.

Lan Yi still muttered, wanting to hug Hua Ying's grievances: "Doesn't she remember that our master saw her difficult at the beginning, and sent several good charcoal fires and small stoves in winter, which are all honored by the Internal Affairs Office." ”

"Okay, Lan Yu, it's not a thing."

Hua Ying sighed that she had a good memory, but Lan Yi was unwilling, and still said: "Send charcoal fire in winter and thin clothes in summer, she doesn't care about such affection." ”

"What are you talking about, Lan Yu, say it again."

Hua Ying said this suddenly, Lan Yu thought she was angry, and she didn't dare to say anything at once: "Master, ......"

"I'm fine, you can repeat what you just said."

"Such affection ......"

"No, the previous sentence!"

The other two didn't know what was wrong with Hua Ying, so they could only wait for Qingxu to repeat: "Send charcoal fire in winter, and send thin clothes and ...... in summer"

"Yes, that's it!" Hua Ying raised her voice and asked, "Did I send Ji Concubine's clothes to the eldest princess to wear?"

"Yes, master, you pitied their mother and daughter at that time, and the slave and maid persuaded you to come, saying that the light gauze brocade is a rare good thing, how ......good it is for you to keep it and wear it yourself."

"At that time, was I pregnant with Yinze?"

"Slave and maid calculate......" Although Lan Yi didn't understand, she also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, and saw Hua Ying's serious face: "Yes, Niangniang was pregnant with the fifth elder brother at that time, more than five months, not yet six months, and you ...... this time"

Before he finished speaking, Lan Yi's face changed, and he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly apologized: "The slave said the wrong thing, and the mother will punish her." ”

Seeing that Hua Ying was silent, he looked up at her expression, and saw that Hua Ying seemed to finally understand something, and finally heard Hua Ying speak: "You are right, it is about the same time as I was pregnant with this child, I finally understand." ”

Qingxu also reacted: "Niang Niang is saying...... There is the same person who has harmed Niangniang twice, but the last time Niangniang was pregnant with the fifth elder brother, she accidentally made the fabric into the princess's clothes and gave it to Ji Concubine, and hurt the wrong person?"

"How can I be sure? Concubine Ji didn't let you inquire about the situation of the eldest princess, so you concluded that the clothes were poisoned?" Hui Xin also realized it later, and even Lan Yu understood what Hua Ying meant now.

"It's not difficult, I guess, the person who poisoned it has already been revealed."
