Volume 1: The Husband Chapter 26 Without a Knife (Part II)
The Lin family is Concubine Chen's maiden family and the maternal grandfather of the fourteenth princess.
Of course, Qing Ruxu knew this, otherwise she wouldn't have asked the fourteenth princess outside the door with confidence. "The courtiers know."
The fourteenth princess smiled: "I didn't expect that the eldest girl who was named the "first beauty" not only has an outstanding appearance, but also has a delicate heart. ”
"The courtiers don't dare to be, but the posture of the fish's eyes, how dare they compete with the pearl, Her Royal Highness the princess is the beautiful crown, a rare beauty in the world."
"Alright, we don't need to flatter each other here." The fourteenth princess said, her eyes swept over Lan Zhou and Shizhou standing behind Qing Ruxu.
Qing Ruxu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, princesses, they are the henchmen of the courtiers, and they won't talk nonsense." ”
The fourteenth princess smiled: "Well, it's two clever maidservants. ”
Of course, what she was referring to was that the two girls had just cooperated with Qing Ruxu to play tricks on Yingrong, not only Qing Ru Xu was relieved, but the fourteenth princess's anger also disappeared a lot.
"I'm not afraid of the princess's jokes, there is some misunderstanding between the courtiers and the county lord, I was careful when I came to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion today, and there was a maid who called herself over inexplicably, of course she wouldn't believe it completely, not to mention that she said that it was called by Her Royal Highness the princess, and the courtiers had nothing to do with you, so she was naturally suspicious. So after the maidservant left, the courtier stood there for a while, and when she saw that there was no movement, she threw two stones at the rockery to test it, and then ran away and hid......
She didn't mention Ruan Meiqin a word, but the two of them knew it.
The fourteenth princess didn't say anything more, only said, "Hmm...... It's not early, you go back first, Qin Wanyan's matter, this palace will deal with it. Today's matter, this palace owes you a favor. ”
Qing Ruxu didn't expect that the fourteenth princess was not very old, but she had such a steady temperament, so she thought that the arrogant and domineering words of the fourteenth princess in the palace on weekdays were not credible, at most it could be regarded as a clear reward and punishment, she smiled, "The princess is serious." ”
The fourteenth princess also smiled: "You go." ”
"Yes, the courtier retired first."
On the way back, Lan Zhou's face was still snow-white, presumably frightened by the palace maid who was killed by the cane.
Qing Ruxu patted her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, the fourteenth princess seems to be a downright person, since she didn't pursue it, she must not do anything behind her back." ”
Shizhou has always been bold, but this time he was also frightened, and asked hesitantly, "Why didn't that girl just pretend not to know about it?" ”
"Silly girl, even if I really don't know, the fourteenth princess will doubt me that I know. I hid it, but the princess was not at ease. It's better to admit generously and make it clear that I am helping her. Besides, Qin Wanyan wanted to use me to break the private affairs of the fourteenth princess, and this matter would definitely not be hidden from the Qin family. The Qin family has an estrangement with me, which is equivalent to Concubine Hui's mother and daughter marrying me. If I don't find the fourteenth princess as a shield, I will definitely be in trouble in the future. ”
The fourteenth princess is the princess favored by the emperor, and Concubine Chen is also a person who can speak in front of the emperor, and it is better to be good than to offend. And Qing Ruxu knew some things about the fourteenth princess in her previous life, and admired her upright and strong temperament very much, such a person will never be double-faced. This is also the reason why she chose to help Princess Fourteen instead of Princess Eleven.
Shizhou's brain knotted when he listened, but Lan Zhou was glad and said: "Fortunately, the girl reacted quickly, otherwise she would have been miserable today!" But how could the girl have thought so much at once, you have never been so twisted and twisted before......"
Qing Ruxu paused, and then said seriously: "I used to eat too many decoctions and medicines, and my brain was stupid. I haven't taken medicine recently, and I've eaten too much food, and my brain is bright! ”
Lan Zhou blinked, said "oh" very seriously and sincerely, and then said, "Then the slave will go back and make you more delicious, make some walnut cheese or something, make up for it!" ”
Qing Ruxu nodded with a smile, thinking, there is no education in vain!
………………
The next day, the news suddenly came that Qin Wanyan died of a sudden illness, and her biological mother couldn't stand the blow and hanged herself, and followed her beloved daughter to the Yellow Spring.
When Qing Ruxu heard the news, she sighed slightly in her heart, because of her rebirth, Qin Wanyan did not die at the hands of the princess, but she still could not escape her fate. And what about yourself? If you don't marry Jiang Rin, can you change the trajectory of your fate?
Lan Zhou didn't know what Qing Ruxu was thinking, and couldn't help sighing: "The Qin family is ruthless enough." However, she has to take responsibility for what she does, and when she accepts the dispatch and benefits of the eleventh princess, she should think about what the consequences will be if things don't go wrong. ”
"That's right!" Qingru praised it, and said: "Qin Wanyan's immortality is not good for the eleventh princess, and if it reaches the ears of the emperor, it is also bad for Concubine Hui, so there is no need for the fourteenth princess to do it herself, as long as she shows a little rumor, the Qin family will solve Qin Wanyan's mother and daughter." Concubine Chen and Concubine Hui have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and they have spent more manpower and material resources. For them, this Qin Wanyan is just a little girl, so why worry about it. Killing her one solves a lot of trouble, and it's a good deal. ”
Although she couldn't hear it after she married in the previous world, she could see that there was more privacy in the harem and backhouse, and this was not enough for her to be shocked.
Shizhou patted his chest and said: "Fortunately, our girl is not a concubine, and she is still held in the palm of her hand by the old lady and the old lady, so that our slaves and maids can also enjoy it." ”
Qing Ruxu stopped the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "What I said is that being able to be the pearl of my father and grandmother is a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life, and I will definitely cherish it." However, our house is not a family that treats concubines harshly, and everyone must be well educated. ”
At this time, someone suddenly came to spread the word, saying that the fourteenth princess had sent someone to send a post to Qingruxu.
Qingru didn't dare to hold it up, so she hurriedly straightened her dress and went to meet someone.
The person who came was Yanling beside the princess, and when she saw Qing Ruxu, she showed a sincere smile: "The slave maid asks for peace to the eldest girl." ”
Qingru politely replied: "It turned out to be Sister Yanling, come and sit in my yard." ”
Yanling turned sideways and did not accept the courtesy, and said: "No, the slave maid is just here to send a post to the girl for the princess, and she will return to the palace later." "Yanling is a very powerful maid by the side of the fourteenth princess, and the princess actually sent her to send a post to herself, and the meaning of friendship is already very obvious." That's right, the princess's mansion has been almost taken care of. The princess wanted to invite the girl to come and see and help the staff officer. By the way, let the slave give this to the girl. ”
Qing Ruxu was a little surprised, took the box into her hand, and was hesitating whether to open it now, Yan Ling smiled: "It's not too late for Miss Qing to go back and see it." ”
Qing Ruxu smiled when she heard this: "Thank you princess for the reward." ”
Yanling took his leave after delivering the things. Sending Yanling away, Lan Zhou was surprised: "The fourteenth princess has not yet chosen a horse, and she is about to open a mansion?" Is this impolite? ”
"It's not necessarily that you want to leave the palace immediately, but you just rewarded the mansion in advance, and it's okay." No wonder the eleventh princess is frequently looking for trouble, and the princess who has not yet married can go out of the palace to build a mansion, but it is unprecedented, it can be seen that the emperor's favor for the fourteenth princess is really not a little bit of a star, which naturally attracts the jealousy of others.
Shizhou was more concerned about the contents of the box: "Girl, open it and see, what did the princess give you?" ”
The box is a common wooden box in the palace and is not noticeable. When I opened it, there was a small scimitar lying inside. It looks like a dagger, with no intricate patterns or gemstone decorations, and the overall appearance is a simple knife.
Qing Ruxu was a little embarrassed, could it be that the princess listened to her words to deceive Yingrong, so she gave this scimitar to make fun of her? She pulled out the knife out of the sheath, a touch of cold light into her eyes, Qing Ruxu was stunned, casually picked up the scissors in the basket and cut it, when there was a loud bang, the broken scissors fell to the ground, startling the master and servant.
"Oh my God, is this the legendary sharpening of iron like clay?"
Qing Ruxu was also a little stunned: "The princess actually gave me a magic weapon?" ”
"Such a good knife, the scabbard is so simple, you can't see the edge inside!" Lan Zhou was also puzzled: "Did the princess let the girl take her with her for self-defense?" ”
The size of this scimitar is indeed suitable for self-defense, and its appearance is ordinary, and it will not be coveted as a treasure. Qing Ruxu looked at it again and again for a long time, and suddenly thought: The princess, or Concubine Chen, do you want to tell her that she should restrain her edge and not be unsheathed at will to attract attention. Once unsheathed, it becomes the sharpest blade.
It's because she is too popular in the capital and has become the target of public criticism, so does the princess want to advise her?
Qing Ruxu played with the short knife for a while, and then let the boat be taken and put away. Then he asked, "By the way, is the second sister's body better?" ”
Lan Zhou said: "The second girl should be fine, after we came back yesterday, the slave went to the old lady to reply, and when she came back, she happened to see the second girl coming out of the lady's house, looking the same as usual, it seemed that there was nothing wrong." ”
"It's good so soon? Before going to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion yesterday morning, it looked quite heavy. ”
"Is it that the second girl doesn't want to go because she is sick?"
Shizhou interjected: "How come, the second girl has always liked this kind of banquet, as long as someone invites her, the second girl has almost no excuses." ”
Qing Ruxu listened to it, but she didn't take it to heart, and said casually: "What is there to argue about this little thing." It may be a little uncomfortable to get up in the morning, but maybe it will be good to rest for a while. Let's go, come with me to Songhetang to greet my grandmother. ”
Qing Ruxu took the first step out of the house, and Lan Zhou pulled out the sleeve of Shizhou: "You say, could it be that the second girl knows that the county is embarrassed by our girl, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to be a person, so she won't go?" ”
"Wouldn't it? The second girl has the best relationship with our girl, if she goes, she will definitely stand on the girl's side and help us speak! ”
"Hmm...... That's what you're saying, maybe I'm thinking too much. ”
