Chapter 37: The Harem's Scheme
"Miss, yesterday His Majesty announced that the crown prince would be confined and relegated Concubine Yu to agree."
"Is it just confinement? Hehe, the emperor really didn't give up. Xiao Liangyun, who was squatting at the gate of the yard and gently sprinkling water on the rosemary, responded to her.
"Miss, I don't understand why the young master didn't do it to General Xiao, but to these other people."
"Although Xiao Yu served the emperor, unlike Fu Shoufu, he secretly assisted the princelings, if he wanted to eradicate it, he had to do so. Besides, I also want to investigate the matter about Fu Shoufu. ”
"Didn't the door master say that the young master should leave the matter of the underworld and Fu Shoufu alone?"
"It has nothing to do with you, I will investigate this matter myself."
"The subordinates understand. By the way, the young master, Mrs. Shangguan invited the young master to the palace for afternoon tea. ”
"Mrs. Shangguan?" After thinking about it in his mind, Xiao Liangyun remembered that it was the old lady's relatives he saw in the old lady's house before, Shangguan Jin, the concubine in the harem. "I see."
Why did Shangguan Jin suddenly look for me? Xiao Liangyun had some doubts, but he didn't think much about it, transplanted a few pots of rosemary, and then handed the rosemary to the little girl next to him. "Go and put this pot in the prince's study."
"Yes."
"The young master is becoming more and more like a noblewoman." Seeing the little maid walking away with rosemary, Qiluo couldn't help but smile and complain about Xiao Liangyun. "Hahaha, it's just that I'm getting used to life here." She also smiled helplessly. "After I decided to go down the mountain, I can't be as chic as when I practiced martial arts, can I."
"You're right." Qiluo looked at the girl in front of her, and suddenly felt a little sorry for this girl, she really didn't have the same attitude towards herself as other masters towards her subordinates. "Don't tell her." Qiluo wanted to covet this girl's gentleness for a while, so she hid her secret contact with Mu Fengqin.
"What are you thinking?" In the process of wandering, she suddenly called out to Qiluo and woke her up.
"Huh? It's okay, it's okay, Qiluo is just thinking about what soothing incense to prepare for Miss at night. ”
"I still have to think about this little thing." Gently patted her shoulder, Xiao Liangyun's fluttering voice came from her ears, "Rest for a while, let Cai'er prepare lunch." ”
"Qiluo knows."
"Qiluo, you are the person I trust the most, I will rest assured if you have a good rest." Xiao Liangyu's faint voice came from the distance, Qiluo's heart was hot, and she turned to look at her back.
In the afternoon, she changed her formal clothes, walked to the Xuanwu Gate, and after showing the token to the guards of the Xuanwu Gate, she saw Qin'er, the big palace maid who led her to the Xianfu Palace at the door, waiting, and several people went to the Xianfu Palace in the harem. "Qin'er, who is the main palace lady of the Xianfu Palace where your mother lives."
"Back to the princess Niangniang, the Xianfu Palace where our master lives, and the main palace Niangniang who lives now is Concubine Shu."
"Concubine Shu, why haven't you heard of it?"
"Because Concubine Shu has no background at home, she doesn't like to be lively, and she doesn't like to compete for favor, so she often raises some strange flowers and grasses, birds and animals, and her personality is very easy to get along with.
"Oh? Floral animals? ”
"Yes, there are a lot of peculiar varieties of Qin'er that can't be named, most of them have a very peculiar fragrance, and those birds play on the eaves of Xianfu Palace every day, but it's interesting! If the princess is interested, she will be able to see it later. ”
"Okay, I'll take a look at this palace later, and visit Concubine Shu by the way."
In the Xianfu Palace, as soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by green shade, thin vines wrapped around the red bricks, and you can faintly hear the crisp calls of birds, and the unknown flowers with white flower bones slowly exude their fragrance. Walking inside, there is a large bamboo forest, with green leaves, exuding a clean and comfortable bamboo fragrance.
Qin'er took the two of them to the side hall, and on the edge of the outer garden of the side hall, there were two people sitting. From a distance, the two of them were dressed like concubines in the palace.
"The first two are Madame and Concubine Shu." Qin'er explained seriously, leading them to the front.
Looking closely, Shangguan Jin was as gentle as ever, but she was a little thinner than the first time she saw her. The pure white cotton skirt on the other side, lined with a thin embroidered orchid light yarn, combed with flowing cloud buns, and a little hair hanging down The woman put down the teacup and turned to look at Xiao Liangyun.
Different from the beauty and wealth that Yu promised, and also different from the dignified Yan Zhaoyi, this Concubine Shu's appearance is cold, knowledgeable, and reasonable, the whole person is like an orchid, she smiled slightly at Xiao Liangyu.
"I've seen the princess in this palace."
"Hu'er doesn't dare, Hu'er hasn't visited the mothers, it's Yu'er's unreasonableness, it's just that Hu'er has been injured recently, so it's not convenient to salute."
"Hey, it's okay, His Royal Highness Seventh finally got the king of His Majesty the day before yesterday, congratulations to the princess."
"Don't dare, don't dare, I don't know what Madame is looking for today?"
"For self-preservation."
