Chapter 240: Gossip

After Yin Qingqi drove away Xue Tan, he couldn't sleep alone for a few days.

Qi Yuan has not been in the palace for a long time, leaving Yin Qingqi alone in the deep palace.

Yin Qingqi didn't know why, after this kind of thing happened, he was the first to think of Qi Yuan.

She has never been able to accept a person who has hurt her so much, but she pins her hopes on it.

And it is even more impossible for her to have a secret affection for Xue Tan, perhaps, she can't.

The night outside the courtyard turned dark, and a pear tree had long since faded in color, Yin Qingqi sighed lightly, and returned to the house helplessly, there was no movement in the cool house.

These days are a little upset, unless Yin Qingqi mainly asks the maids to do something, they are all hiding in the outhouse chatting and chatting, and the aunts are also hiding there, sitting cross-legged on the couch.

Qi Yuan was very disgusted with people like this, saying that they had no rules, Yin Qingqi had been outside the palace for a long time, and he had long been used to such a posture.

Yin Qingqi was bored, had lunch alone, and called the little maid peony who delivered the meal.

"Peony, do you know what the aunts are talking about?"

Peony has a delicate face, which looks very similar to Cuizhu, which also makes Yin Qingqi hungry and a little comforted, and often calls her over, although she can't say some intimate words, but at least, looking at Peony here, it can also remind her of Cuizhu.

I really don't know how Cuizhu and Seventh Elder Brother are doing now.

Qi Yuan was not in the palace, so he naturally had no way to know the news of the two, so he broke off contact for a long time, and Yin Qingqi also missed it a lot.

"The aunts are in the east room." Peony owed a little and humbly talked to Yin Qingqi.

"Come with me." Yin Qingqi put down the dishes and chopsticks, let the peony clean up, and followed her out of the inner courtyard together.

When I arrived at the outer courtyard, it was noisy inside, and the hearty laughter of the girls made Yin Qingqi feel a little comfortable.

"What are you talking about? So happy. Yin Qingqi waved his hand and asked Peony to go down first, send the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, and go in alone.

The aunts sat on the couch and talked, there were some preserved snacks and fruits on the small table, and when they saw Yin Qingqi coming in, they almost knocked over the dishes and chopsticks in a panic, making the bed all over.

"Crown princess, the slave really didn't know that you were here, please forgive the princess."

Several aunts hurriedly got off the ground, and they didn't even have time to put on their shoes, so they knelt on the ground together.

Yin Qingqi frowned.

This kind of life where everyone is at risk seems to be really not as comfortable as living in Jinghonglou.

Shaking his head, he couldn't say anything, "Get up." ”

"There's no need to make such a fuss in the future, this is not a harem, and you don't need to learn other people's things."

Yin Qingqi has also heard of the management of the concubine, and I heard that the concubines and maids in the palace have long been dissatisfied with it and are too strict, but the emperor is fortunate to be the queen, and she is also the queen today, and she can't say anything more because of her power.

In Jinghong Building, even Siniang may not require everyone to behave, but to be decent when entertaining guests.

Yin Qingqi remembered that experience, and smiled helplessly, he was now clothed and fed, and he actually missed the days when he got up in the Qinglou.

"What are you talking about?" I saw the aunts chatting in the house, and as soon as I came in, they stopped abruptly, and Yin Qingqi was also very curious.

"This ......"

The aunts looked at each other and looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

"What, what else can't I talk to?" Yin Qingqi frowned, although she didn't have so many rules, but the people under her own hands, hiding themselves, was the most unbearable for her.

She has experienced countless betrayals and will never allow anyone to hide or lie in front of her.

"Fangcai, the slaves are talking...... is talking about the good concubine. ”

"Concubine Liang?" Yin Qingqi frowned. "What's the matter with her?"

Yin Qingqi thought that they were talking about their past, and Concubine Liang teamed up with Xi Yue to design their own things.

"Is it my business?" Yin Qingqi's face was expressionless, and she seemed to be very calm about this matter, but those who were familiar with her knew that this was the only injury in Yin Qingqi's heart.

Being framed by his own sisters, no matter who he is, can't accept the facts.

"No, it's not ......" My aunt stepped forward and hurriedly explained, for fear that Yin Qingqi would misunderstand.

"Crown Princess, you misunderstood, the slave didn't say you, the slave said, Concubine Liang and ...... and the matter of the sixth elder brother. ”

"Oh?"

Yin Qingqi also heard about this matter, and the rumors in the palace were boiling, originally Yin Qingqi thought that it was just a rumor, after all, Concubine Liang died, and those who had prejudices against her in the past would inevitably say something.

"It's still a young man who chews the root of his tongue and is disrespectful to the dead."

Yin Qingqi is also very disgusted with this kind of gossip behind people's backs.

"Crown Princess, you don't know." An aunt stepped forward, "This matter is true, I heard from the maids in the Sixth Elder Brother's Mansion." ”

The rest of the aunts nodded their heads.

"Did something happen?" Yin Qingqi frowned, could it be that the sixth elder brother is not doing anything famous?

"Yo, you don't know." My aunt was immediately interested.

"I heard the maids say, the sixth elder brother, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, paced alone in the yard, and when it was late and the climate turned cold, the elder brother hid in the house and sobbed quietly."

"Niangniang, don't think I'm talking nonsense, the little maid said, at first it was just a small whimper, and then it turned into a roar, which is called a miserable."

Unexpectedly, the sixth elder brother can be regarded as affectionate and righteous.

Yin Qingqi shook his head, it's a pity, it's your mother's generation after all, in the inner courtyard of the palace, even a little maid can't marry, let alone the mother-in-law of the father, but I pity these six elder brothers, lovers can't be together after all.

"Alright, I'm going back to rest too, and you should pay more attention to yourselves, and beware of being heard."

Yin Qingqi watched Peony rush over, presumably to report to her aunts, who thought that Yin Qingqi was already leaving.

The aunts glanced at the peony fiercely, and the frightened peony trembled, and the tea in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Yin Qingqi, who was sharp-eyed, looked at all this and shook his head, he couldn't imagine that the people in his palace were so vicious.

"Peony, you serve me tonight, go to bed, by the way, sleep in the guest room on my left, I've had a lot of nightmares lately, and I don't sleep well."

"Yes, sissy." Peony smiled gratefully at Yin Qingqi, and Yin Qingqi nodded at her.

"By the way, bring this cup of tea to my room."

Peony followed closely behind Yin Qingqi, and Yin Qingqi also talked to her without a match.

"Peony, where is your home?"

"Back to Niangniang, the slave's family is from Yangzhou City, and she was sold to the palace by her parents, so she can be considered to settle down and have an errand to do."

Yin Qingqi frowned, it seems that she is another unfortunate woman.

The two talked all the way, not even noticing the movement in the inner courtyard.

There was a stumble behind the tree, Yin Qingqi glanced at it curiously, and continued to walk towards the house with Peony without paying attention.
