Pretending to be a ghost
Chu Tao called Xiaohong and whispered a few words in Xiaohong's ear. Xiaohong smacked her tongue and said, "How did Miss come up with this method?" ”
Chu Tao said: "This is really not what I came up with, it is a trick that your father-in-law thinks, how can I come up with this kind of trick hahaha......"
Xiaohong said: "Miss, you haven't thought about why your father-in-law is so bold and dares to help us make up the crown princess." ”
Chu Tao said: "Is it good that I gave the money, and ...... Your father-in-law and Concubine Zhen are good friends, he is just giving advice, and the real person who does things is you, what is he afraid of? ”
Xiaohong nodded vigorously: "Miss is right, the crown princess has already come to apologize very generously, if we blindly don't see it, we will end up in front of the emperor who refuses to negotiate." ”
"That's not it, how could the crown princess come to the door easily, it must be the emperor's intention. Hmph, my sister and brother-in-law are angry, and I want to vent this evil breath for them. ”
Xiaohong and Chu Tao's master and servant planned for a long time, and Chu Tao quietly slipped into the courtyard where the princess lived while everyone was gathered in the mourning hall, and asked Poria for a dress she had worn before, and asked for purple by name.
took the clothes, and Poria also told Chu Tao not to act impulsively, and Chu Tao also replied.
Passing by the mourning hall again, there were bursts of crying inside, and Chu Tao poked his head out and saw the blurred backs of Chu Ying and the three kings.
Qin You's death was too big a blow to the three kings, Chu Tao heard that the three kings had to get drunk with wine every night in the past few days to fall asleep, and after waking up, they just silently looked at Qin You's relics in a daze.
And this is much better than at the beginning, the three kings, who had just received the news of death, said that they would not believe the fact that Qin You had died.
In the end, a few cronies knelt on the ground, and the three kings gradually accepted this fact.
It is said that on that day, Pei Ding's cousin gave the three kings a suicide note, and the three kings hugged Chu Ying and cried like a child after reading it.
Chu Tao thought, the man doesn't flick when he has tears, but when he is sad, what he says is the three kings, the iron-clad man who loses his beloved wife will also shed tears and his heart will bleed.
Zhao Tieniu and Shopkeeper Fang came, and together with the housekeeper, they quickly became Princess Sakura's good helpers.
Zhao Tieniu brought Chu Tao a special product from the south of the country, Chu Tao didn't have time to thank him, he ran over to get busy, Chu Tao looked at Zhao Tieniu, who had tanned a lot, smiled with relief, and felt that he had become a lot more mature.
Chu Tao's sneaky appearance was seen by the Liu family, who had already arrived at the Three Princes' Mansion, and angrily called her over.
"Your eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law came to mourn early in the morning, and you didn't go to see it, where did you go?!" Liu grabbed this monkey-like daughter and pulled her over like a chicken.
Chu Tao hadn't seen Chu Ju for a long time, it's not that she didn't want to see it, she came with Sun Yihao, and Chu Tao was annoying him.
The death of the third princess was obviously such a sad thing, and when he came the previous time, he sent a couplet, and improvised a few sour poems to express his condolences.
At such times, any language is pale. Chu Tao felt that he exerted his "charm" that had nowhere to put it on any occasion, which was really uncomfortable, but many elders who came to mourn kept praising Sun Yihao, and by the way, he praised Chu Ju, who was well-behaved and virtuous standing aside.
The sauce is better than the fish! Chu Taoli didn't want to pay attention.
Seeing that Chu Tao was wilting and gaining a few pounds, Liu Shi was angry, and pinched the meat of Chu Tao's belly with his hand: "Look at it, how many layers of meat are there, girl, can you eat less." ”
Chu Tao hurriedly covered her stomach and said, "Oh, these are all clothes, the clothes are too thick." ”
"Your two sisters are kneeling in the mourning hall, just you are running around, you are going to be angry with me, I know that you are naughty and unbearable, and those who don't know think that you are a heartless white-eyed wolf! You go over and kneel for me! Liu said.
Chu Tao said: "I have already knelt down! Got on my knees for a long, long time! I have something to do now! ”
"What else do you have to do besides steal food? You're really embarrassed by the face of the dead mother, those meat floss milk cakes are for the guests to fill their hunger, you are good, you stole so many at once! I'm so angry! Liu slapped Chu Tao's ass hard.
Chu Tao covered her ass and wailed: "What can I do - I just have an urgency, I want to go to the thatched house!" "But you must not let Liu know what she is doing, otherwise she will definitely beg for beating and scolding.
"There is a lot of and urine on the lazy donkey, get out!"
Liu was in a bad mood.
This bad mood obviously has nothing to do with Qin You's death, because Chu Ying had a very unpleasant quarrel with her brother Cheng Jin last time she went home, so this time Liu deliberately wanted to match the two to release their suspicions, so he persuaded Cheng Jin: "The princess is gone, Chu Ying feels uncomfortable, you, as a brother, don't comfort and comfort her." ”
Cheng Jin didn't even look at Liu, and said coldly: "What's so sad about her, I don't think it's too late for her to be happy!" As soon as the princess died, she was the mistress of the house, do I still need to comfort her, I just prepared a congratulatory gift in advance. ”
Liu was so angry that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Liu sighed, what are you doing with so many idle things, and you are angry and thankless!
The family is also divided, and I am not an old lady, can I still beat and scold other people's children? This anger naturally transferred to her biological daughter Hatsu Tao, and Hatsu Tao became the punching bag.
Chu Taoxin is also big, and she doesn't know how many times she has been scolded by her mother, so she will get used to it, and she will act according to the plan after taking the clothes.
Chu Tao really saw the sedan chair in the East Palace at the gate of the palace, and thought that the princess was so sincere, so she didn't bask in the sun outside for a long time, but sat in the sedan chair and waited.
The crown princess and the prince look very husband and wife, feminine and soft, wearing a white dress, white skin without powder, no gold hairpin, looks quite plain person, but the lips are slightly purple, I'm afraid the heart is really not good.
Chu Tao took the initiative to salute the crown princess and said politely: "Let the crown princess wait for a long time." ”
"You are?" The crown princess hesitated, but she quickly guessed Chu Tao's identity, and she was even more puzzled, she thought that the Three Princes' Mansion would send someone who was old and cunning to come out to answer the problem, but she didn't expect that it was a beautiful and innocent Miss Jiang who looked sixteen or seventeen years old.
What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Three Kings?
Chu Tao said enthusiastically: "Yo, princess, you are, oops, your heart often hurts, right?" ”
The crown princess swallowed tears and said: "Good sister, what you said is that I was also an old problem with chest pain that day, and the old slave in my house protected the master, and I was afraid that I would have three long and two short so I didn't let the imperial doctor come over that day...... I have already killed those maids with a rod, and let them go underground and kowtow to the third princess. ”
Chu Tao smiled politely on his face, but said in his heart, then why don't you go down with those to apologize.
"I know!" Chu Tao approached the three princesses, invisibly narrowing the distance between the two.
"Crown princess, don't you know, that person has been hypocritical for a long time, the house doesn't care about business, the medicine has to pick up the most expensive drink, if she doesn't die, the palace will give her a drink sooner or later. My sister is also afraid to see you because of the face of the three kings. ”
The crown princess was stunned, didn't she say that the concubines on one side of the three kings had the same relationship as sisters? How is it different from what the side concubine's sister said out of her mouth.
But the old lady who went back to the East Palace to talk back said that she watched the side concubine drink the medicine with her own eyes.
Could it be that they are just superficially harmonious, or is this just a good ploy used by the side concubines to compete for favor?
The crown princess carefully considered and said: "The third princess and Princess Sakura are like sisters, Princess Sakura should be very sad at this time, right?" ”
"Not to mention how happy you are...... Phew, sad. Chu Tao smiled and said, "I said the wrong thing." In short, if my sister is offended, I hope that the crown princess Haihan.
The crown princess carefully wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said: "What is my sister talking about, after all, I can't stand the three kings and the side concubines, they want to beat me and scold me, anything, but don't hurt the harmony between brothers." ”
Oops, oh me! Chu Tao scolded fiercely in his heart, and the harmony between the brothers, who is kind of to the prince!
Chu Tao personally carried the princess in from the side door, and after thinking about it, the princess still didn't come in in a big way, lest the prince know that his face was not good, it was better to bring a cronie to come in through the side door.
The crown princess thought about it and called her personal maid Tian'er over, and asked a group of people to wait for her outside.
There are a lot of people who can prove that she has entered the Three Kings' Mansion, and they don't have the courage to do anything to her.
Chu Tao asked while leading the way: "Crown Princess, what is your heartache?" Isn't it a disease with Xi Shi of Huanxi yarn, and sure enough, beautiful people are even born with the same disease. ”
The crown princess said softly: "That is, the weakness in the mother's womb, I can't breathe as soon as the mood comes up." ”
"Princess, please here, stay away from the mourning hall here, at this critical moment, it's better for the princess not to see the three kings. Now that I'm resting here, I'm going to ask my sister to come over. Chu Tao said.
"Okay, there you go. I'm waiting for you here. "The crown princess has no doubt about him.
The crown princess frowned and looked at the small hall. This room is too small, it's dark inside, and the lighting is not good. But fortunately, the decoration is elegant, clean and tidy, and she didn't think about it so much.
A little girl came over and brought a cup of tea, a few layers of snacks, and the princess didn't taste it, the house was too depressing, I just hope that the side concubine can come over and say a few words to her as soon as possible.
Although the husband and wife are of one mind, the crown princess also knows that some people have to plan for themselves in high positions.
Like Princess Sakura, I'm afraid she has been dissatisfied with the concubine for a long time - who made the three kings and the princess have a good relationship.
If Princess Sakura has the ability to blow the pillow wind around the three kings, and is willing to settle the suspicions with the prince, maybe the prince's crisis will be lifted this time.
Then he will also say a few kind words in front of the prince.
also blamed her for being unlucky, she just wanted to practice the three princesses, but she didn't expect that she would really die after being sick and crooked.
The crown princess picked up the tea at hand and drank a few sips, feeling that the tea was acceptable, and it was still in her eyes.
Looking at the inner room separated by a screen, it was pitch black, as if some youkai was about to come out of it.
The crown princess only glanced at it, and didn't dare to look at it again.
Tian'er opened her mouth and said: "How can the three kings be compared with the crown prince, look at this mansion, there is a decay and decadence everywhere. The house is prosperous, and the people are also prosperous, so it can be seen that ......" Tian'er laughed in a low voice.
Anyway, there was no one around, and the crown princess was bored: "Didn't you say that the side concubine was well governed?" I'm afraid it's not to show others a face, it's still dirty. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a very soft sigh from the black room, and the sound of clothes rubbing against him as he got up.
"Got mice?" The crown princess was surprised.
Tian'er also felt strange: "It's daytime, are rats so bold?" ”
The voice inside was more pronounced, and there was a very soft sigh.
The crown princess was dumbfounded, what kind of mouse would still learn to sigh?
Both of them looked sideways into the room, and the crown princess felt goosebumps on her body.
