In this way, the two mothers and daughters walked on the way back to the Ripple Palace, one after the other, each with their own thoughts, and they had nothing to say for a long time.

Chayan is a person who will come, and he took a big step to the side of Buxian and asked: "Little princess, are you tired, do you want Chayan to carry you." ”

Buxian shook his head.

"Also, the concubine is here, how could the little princess let the slave and maid carry it, the daughter is still closer to A-Niang."

Buxian raised her head and glanced at Cha Yan, as if she recognized Cha Yan's words to others. In fact, I don't envy is wondering if Chayan has a problem with her brain, knowing that she has been upset recently, and she doesn't want to be close to Concubine Rong, so she came over to pry up.

Rong Guifei stepped forward with interest: "Xian'er, do you want your mother's back?" ”

Buxian glanced back, Rong Guifei's skirt was shadowed under the lamp, endless and gentle. smiled and said, "The mother concubine is dressed like this and carries me, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

"Then the concubine will take you." After saying that, Concubine Rong stretched out her hand.

I was not envious and embarrassed to refute her face again, so I had to hand her my hand.

Rong Guifei's hands were very soft and smooth, but suddenly, there were calluses on the tips of her thumb and index finger. In this era, it is definitely not made of mahjong.

"Mother's hand, how can there be calluses? Was it left behind by playing the piano? I asked curiously.

Concubine Rong shook her head and replied with a smile: "No, this is embroidered with needles." ”

"What are you embroidering, the cocoons are all out, are they embroidered for my father?" Don't envy and ask again.

"No, the mother concubine is sewing clothes for Buen."

"Isn't the clothes being done by the Shangyi Bureau? And I have so many clothes now that I change my clothes every day, and I won't change them for a month. Why does the mother still work hard and do it herself? ”

"The Shangyi Bureau sews the clothes that are worn now, and the concubine makes the clothes that she wears after she grows into a big girl." Rong Guifei explained.

Buxian felt that she had done it many times: "When I grow up, how tall and fat I am is not good, if it doesn't fit, won't it be wasted?" ”

Concubine Rong lowered her head, touched her envious head with the other hand, and said lovingly: "I made it according to my own figure, you are my daughter, you should be the same as me." ”

Hearing this, she didn't envy and giggled, she was not happy, she just felt that this Concubine Rong was not only weak and unable to take care of herself, but also very stupid and naïve: "What if I am more like my father and grow into his body?" Wouldn't it be a waste? ”

"When you grow up like your father, there will always be a time when you can wear it."

"Then I'm not as good as my mother and father, what if I'm five feet as long as the queen?" I don't envy and said.

Concubine Rong stopped and stretched out her hand to scratch her envious little nose: "Xian'er is talking nonsense, the queen mother is the honor of the harem, and she must not be disrespectful." You need to be more cautious in your words, in case this word is heard by someone with a heart, it will be a disaster if you can't keep it. Besides, if you can't wear it, it can be left for you to remember. ”

Hearing that she didn't say a few words and taught people a lesson, she was very displeased, and shook off her hand and said: "Nian, this word is weird, don't say such frustrating words, I don't like you to be too worried." ”

Concubine Rong glanced at the empty palm, and quickly caught up with Buxian, squatted in front of her to support her and said, "Youxian is angry again?" Did the concubine say the wrong thing again? Mother knows that you don't like to talk to me, because you think I'm too twisted and unpleasant. But in this palace, I don't tell you not to teach you, you will suffer in the future, how distressed the mother should be. Parents love their children, and they will plan far-reaching things. If you don't want to listen to it, you must remember that no matter inside or outside the palace, frivolous and vain words are taboo. ”

Buxian retorted: "You are so painstaking and cautious, and I haven't seen how prosperous your life has been in the palace." After speaking, he broke free from Concubine Rong and continued to walk towards Ripple Palace.

After a while, everyone arrived at the gate of the Ripple Palace.

Buxian stood still at the door for a while, then turned back to Concubine Rong who was following behind him and said, "Mother concubine go back to the dormitory to rest, I want to go to the next room to have a look." ”

"Don't envy where you want to go, I'll go with you." Rong Guifei stepped forward.

Buxian looked at Hua Wu behind Concubine Rong and several other palace people: "It's not necessary, I just want to go to Cong Yu and Wang Ji's room to have a look." ”

Concubine Rong sighed and said, "Then you go, don't stay too long." ”

Buxian went to the next room by himself, and Chayan followed closely.

No one has moved in to this room yet, so it's deserted. Cong Yu and Wang Ji's breath was still a little remnant, and the clay kang where they slept had been cleaned up, and there was not even a futon and pillow.

The candlelight flickered, and the candle flame sizzled from time to time, and white smoke rose from it. I didn't envy the clay kang in a daze, and after a while, my eyes turned red.

The tea smoke was poured into the neck by the cold wind, and he was a little frightened: "Princess, princess, why don't we come and see it tomorrow during the day, it's a big night, it's weird and scary." ”

Buxian snorted, lowered his head and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "What are you afraid of, they were not killed by you, they are wronged and debtors, and they can't ask for your life." ”

"Really?"

"That's right, the queen killed the person, and if you ask for your life, you have to ask for the queen's life."

Cha Yan hurriedly stepped forward and covered his envious mouth: "Princess, you can't talk nonsense, it's a big rebellion for this kind of thing to be spread." ”

Buxian pulled her hand down: "There are only two of you and me in this house, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who will spread it?" ”

Cha Yan hesitated and whispered: "I'm afraid that the wall has ears." Princess, the slave doesn't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

"You say."

"The slave maid and Hua Wu are serving in the Ripple Palace, Hua Wu is the person brought by the concubine Niangniang from the house, and she has been with the concubine Niangniang for many years, and she is deeply trusted by the Niangniang. Originally, slaves and maids should not talk too much about good and bad things behind the backs of others. But the slave maid has encountered Huawu many times and entered the princess's bedroom without permission. ”

"Mother ordered, isn't Mother still worried that you won't take good care of you? That's why I often ask her to come and have a look. ”

When Cha Yan heard this, he was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's the slave who is incompetent." ”

Buxian raised his eyes and looked out the window, and said softly: "How I look at you, just as you look at me, I think you are good." It doesn't matter what Hua Wu says about you, and it doesn't matter what the mother thinks of you. I want to ask you a question, Cha Yan, if there is a fine work in the Ripple Palace, putting aside personal grievances, who do you think is the most like the fine work? ”

Cha Yan lowered his head and thought for a moment before he said: "There are three places in the harem that the Queen Mother manages the most, except for the Queen Mother's Shouxi Palace and the Emperor's Pingzhu Palace, which is the Ripple Palace of the Imperial Concubine." Every time something happens in the Ripple Palace, the Queen Mother will call the people in her palace to send away the old people related to the Ripple Palace. ”

"Then what do you mean, Hua Wu is the most suspicious?"

"The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid can only tell the princess this, as for whether she is the queen's person, the princess has her own judgment, don't be misled by the slave and maid. There is another thing, Cong Yu and Wang Ji's things were packed by slaves, but ...... Those two tourmaline cat's eye beads can't be found."

Buxian thought about it for a while and asked her, "Did you bring it with you?" ”

Cha Yan shook his head: "The chamberlain said that they don't have anything valuable. ”

"Is that a lie on the part of the chamberlain?"

Cha Yan shook his head again: "The slave thinks that it is not an escape, how can the valuables be carried with them, if they are lost, it will be painful." ”

"Yes, you are so precious that you will treasure this bead carefully. The place that belongs to them in this palace is this room. Why don't we look for it again? After speaking, he was not envious and wanted to roll up his sleeves.

Cha Yan sighed: "Princess, you don't have to bother, I have searched all the places in this house where there are cracks, I originally thought that the bead would go out of the palace with them, and his family took the bead in exchange for money, and they could be buried thickly." As a result, I couldn't find it. ”

On the day of the rape, the words of the cold pond in the northeast corner of the nest popped out of his envious mind, and he said: This girl is very unexpected. She asked the Queen Mother for someone, but every time she brought it to the vicinity of Taixue, the two eunuchs disappeared, presumably she went to Luohui Palace, or it could be Fengluan Palace, and this girl was generous, and even the tourmaline cat's eye beads were taken out to reward people, and she was a good hand who would buy people's hearts.

In this way, there must be an internal thief in this Ripple Palace, and these two missing tourmaline cat's eyes may not be in the hands of the internal thief.
