Chapter 489: One is on the other side
East Palace
Since the miscarriage, the crown princess Lu Siming's sleep has been worse, but the slightest movement can wake her up.
So the birds in the morning just stepped on the glazed tiles of the dormitory, Lu Siming's eyes opened, at that time the east was not yet white, she got up alone and sat at the window for a long time, and when Shuzhen got up early and came in to visit, she found that Lu Siming's whole body was cold.
"No matter how sad the mother is, she should cherish herself, if she falls ill after being cold, won't it be even more bad for her body." Shuzhen went to clean up the bed, Qingtang changed a set of regular clothes for Lu Siming, and when she put on the pearl cui, she couldn't help but persuade in a low voice.
Lu Siming stroked her lips and smiled: "Where are there so many sad things, it's just sitting in front of the window thinking about something, and I don't realize it when I want to enter the country for a while." ”
Qingtang squatted down and straightened the corner of Lu Siming's skirt, and saw that Lu Siming's face was the same, so he said with confidence: "The imperial doctor also said that it is important for the mother to be relieved first, and as for the little son, sooner or later, there will be it." ”
Lu Siming already knew that she was afraid that it would be difficult to conceive a child, and Qingtang's words were like the wind in her ears, she raised her hand to brush off the hem of her clothes, stood up and said: "This palace personally stewed a cup of white fungus snow clam soup last night, this time should be just right, you go and pick it up and send it to the prince in the study to drink." ”
Qingtang paused for a moment before slowly standing up: "The slave knows." ”
Lu Siming glanced at it, saw Qingtang's eyes hesitant, and said with a slight ripple in her eyes: "What?" The prince is not in the study? ”
"Prince...... It should be in the study, and the slave will go to deliver the soup. Qingtang blessed a gift and was about to go out in a hurry.
"Okay, this palace knows ......" Lu Siming faced Qingtang, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Then you can send Concubine Wu directly." ”
"Niangniang is a kind-hearted person to be bullied, if you send it over like this, I don't know if the prince can drink the slave maid, but the concubine Wu will definitely not ask the prince to drink the soup sent by the mother." Shuzhen walked out of the inner room, a small face full of injustice.
Qingtang frowned: "Shuzhen, don't talk nonsense." She is different from Shuzhen, Shuzhen used to be Lu Siming's personal maid, she was young, and sometimes she didn't have much scruples when she spoke, but Qingtang grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she was sent to Lu Siming later, she was more cautious and steady.
Shuzhen turned around, bit her lip and said: "Originally, you see how many times the prince has come to care about Niangniang's miscarriage, and he hasn't ......been messing with that concubine all day long."
"The more you talk, the more unpleasant it becomes, are you shouting here for fear that others won't hear you, and you want to kill your mother?" Qingtang's face was grim, and he scolded softly.
Shuzhen flattened her mouth, lowered her head, endured it, and didn't say anything more.
Lu Siming listened to the dispute between the two girls, as if she hadn't heard it, she stood at the window and looked out, the smell of spring was getting stronger and stronger, and the flowers in the garden were gradually opening up, blowing with fragrance.
Qingtang found another cloak to put on Lu Siming, and said: "Although it is spring, it is still a little cool in the morning and evening, and the mother should be careful of the cold." ”
Lu Siming grabbed the placket of the cloak, glanced at Shuzhen, who was sulking alone, with a smile, and said: "This palace knows your heart, but the prince has his own reasons, and the harem women are not allowed to intervene, and you will not say much in the future." ”
Qingtang and Shuzhen blessed the blessing together, and said in unison: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
"As for Concubine Wu, ......" Lu Siming put one hand on the windowsill, paused, and then said: "What should be hers is hers, and don't say more such plain and boring words." ”
"Yo, Xiao Liu'er, have you heard anyone talking about this concubine behind your back?" Outside the window, a voice suddenly came to mind, and the sharp female voice hooked a little tactful and enchanting.
Shuzhen frowned and muttered, "It's really unreasonable." ”
Qingtang walked to the door and passed Shuzhen, raised a finger and poked her forehead, and gestured with her eyes, you can have a snack, the palace is full of ears and eyeliner.
The door was opened, and a smell stronger than the fragrance of flowers blew in from the outside, which made Lu Siming cough twice in discomfort, and then a touch of pink rubbed the corners of his eyes, and Qiao Shengsheng stood in front of Lu Siming and squatted down and stood up quickly, which was considered a salute.
"The concubine hasn't come to say hello to the princess for a long time, don't blame the concubine, it's the prince who said that the princess is weak and sick and needs to recuperate in peace, so don't run around when the concubine is fine." The corners of Concubine Wu's mouth on both sides turned up, and her eyes were a little arrogant, "I saw that this is really the case today, but I can cough like this after blowing two breaths of wind, and the princess should take good care." ”
Shuzhen secretly glared at Concubine Wu, and as soon as she came up, she showed off that she was favored by the prince, and she secretly sarcastically ridiculed the princess for being snubbed, and she didn't take the princess in her eyes too much. Ninety-four Good Book Network
"Concubine Wu has a heart." Lu Siming's long eyelashes fell, and she smiled.
This high-minded attitude made Concubine Wu burst out of evil fire for no reason, especially when she felt that Lu Siming seemed to deliberately press heavily on the word "side" of "side concubine", which reminded her of her dwarf, as if the previous show off seemed to Lu Siming to be similar to a monkey playing on the street.
Concubine Wu pulled away a sneer: "Since the crown princess is unwell, how can I keep the prince, or let the concubine work hard at night, and it is the concubine's obligation to serve the prince properly." ”
These words made Lu Siming frown slightly, like a pool of smoke and rain in a light smoke, and she played with two words in her mouth: "Forced to stay?" ”
"Heh......" Concubine Wu chuckled: "Isn't it?" ”
"Concubine Wu, how long have you been in the East Palace?" Lu Siming's eyes rolled, and suddenly changed his words.
Concubine Wu frowned, not knowing what Lu Siming meant, but still replied: "Nearly three months." ”
Lu Siming held on to the teacup, her eyebrows lowered: "Hmm...... It seems that Concubine Wu's upbringing has not fulfilled her responsibilities, so that Concubine Wu is neither big nor small, Qingtang, go back to the Internal Affairs Office to inform her, and send Mama Yuan to teach Concubine Wu the etiquette in the palace, otherwise it will seem that I, the princess, do not understand the rules. ”
Qingtang lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, the crown princess, the slave maid has written it down." ”
A trace of resentment flashed between Concubine Wu's arrogant eyebrows, and before she could attack, she heard Lu Siming continue: "As for Concubine Wu...... Small punishment and big commandment, today first slap the mouth three times to set an example. ”
"You!" Concubine Wu couldn't believe it, she hadn't said a word yet, why was she going to be slapped in the mouth.
Concubine Wu was dragged out by Qingtang and Shuzhen, she glared angrily, and suddenly found that at this time, Lu Siming's gentle face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and the eyes covered by the bookish aura were dark, like an unknown terror lurking under the warm water, which made her stunned suddenly.
'Smack-', the beating Concubine Wu turned her head in a daze, her cheeks suddenly swelled and ached, and she licked the tip of her tongue and tasted blood.
'Pap~Pap-' followed by two strokes, Concubine Wu's eyes were full of gold stars, and she almost fell down in front of her, she also grew up in Jinzun Yugui, except for the time when she was punished by Wuhou Tong, when did she suffer this kind of grievance, she was ashamed and resentful at the moment, and she lay on the ground for a while and did not come back to her senses.
"Since Concubine Wu knows that she is wrong, don't kneel anymore, get up." Lu Siming's unhurried voice was obviously as warm as a spring breeze, but it made Concubine Wu feel thorny when she listened.
However, Concubine Wu was beaten like this, but she also played a little brain, she suddenly found that in the end she was lower than others, one was positive and the other was sideways, and now she couldn't suppress her no matter what, so she had to temporarily soften, but if he let himself gain momentum one day......
Concubine Wu clenched her fists tightly, and a resentful light shot out of her eyes, she will definitely repay this great humiliation today!
"Just now, Concubine Wu said that the prince didn't spend the night in your room last night?" Lu Siming does not fight does not mean that others can easily climb on her head, as the daughter of the princess, the current princess, also has her own pride and dignity, and no one can be trampled on, today's punishment of Concubine Wu is not her original intention, and it can be regarded as taking advantage of the situation.
Concubine Wu pulled the handkerchief in her hand, her cheeks were swollen from being beaten, and the five finger prints were very clear, which showed that Shuzhen had done her best, and she replied unwillingly: "The night before yesterday, the prince said that he would accompany the concubine for a small birthday last night, but he didn't see the prince after waiting for half the night, and then the concubine heard that the prince had come to the princess's bedroom at night......"
Lu Siming understood, no wonder Concubine Wu was scathing as soon as she came, she suspected that she had taken the lead in leaving the prince in the palace.
Shuzhen rubbed the palm of her right hand, there was a disadvantage in exerting a lot of force just now, and her palm was also hurt, listening to Concubine Wu's words, she pouted and showed a trace of disdain, what a small birthday, this Concubine Wu is thinking of the law to leave the prince in her room, just by virtue of Ming'er's birthday, for example, she was born in Yuanye, then the fifteenth of every month is her small birthday, and she has to celebrate her birthday every month.
"The concubine also prepared a table of wine and food herself, if she knew that the prince would not come, why wait until dawn." The grievances in Concubine Wu's mouth were full of hatred in her eyes.
As soon as Lu Siming's hand holding the tea lid was loosened, the tea lid made a gentle knock against the teacup, her eyes lifted, and she said, "The prince was not in the palace last night. "It should be a shameful thing, but it is very natural and decent for Lu Siming, and it seems that she can't keep her husband's heart and it doesn't seem so embarrassing.
Concubine Wu was stunned at first when she heard Lu Siming's calm words, then gritted her teeth, and said hatefully: "I must have asked Hong Mei'er's bewitching slut to be dragged to her room!" ”
Hong Mei'er is the concubine of the prince's mansion, before Concubine Wu entered the East Palace, the prince's favorite concubine room, but Concubine Wu's means are not small, and the prince has not been to Hong Mei'er's side for a long time, maybe it is that woman is lonely and unbearable.
Shuzhen pursed her lips, half a catty and eight taels, and was embarrassed to say that this concubine Wu was not worried about herself.
"Niangniang, Niangniang, it's not good...... another girl beside the crown princess hurriedly ran over from outside, and as soon as she entered the door, she knelt on the ground, panting and said, "Something happened to the prince!" ”
