Chapter 127: Return
Soon, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived. It was snowing on this day.
Ingenuity walked step by step, with difficulty. She felt like she was freezing.
A carriage passed by her and stopped.
A woman of a similar age opened the curtain and said to Qiaoxin, "Come up." ”
This road leads to the capital, and Qiaoxin feels so lucky to meet a kind-hearted person at this juncture.
Qiaoxin hurriedly got into the carriage. The woman pulled her.
The carriage was spacious inside, with a small brazier in the middle. It's warm inside, and it makes people feel like they're coming to life all of a sudden.
Qiaoxin noticed that the woman who called her to get into the car was a person dressed as a maid. She sat on one side, and made a person in the middle.
The inside of the carriage was very delicate, and the woman sitting in the middle had her eyes closed, and although the clothes she wore were plain, she could still see at a glance that the clothes were worth a lot.
It seems that she is a young lady from a large family.
Qiaoxin didn't dare to sit down, and hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you Miss for your mercy." ”
The "Miss" in Qiaoxin's mouth opened her eyes. Her eyes were sharp, revealing a hint of heroism.
"Sit down." The maid next to her smiled.
"Miss Xie." Qiaoxin stood up and sat on the other side.
"It's not Miss, this is Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." The maid said.
Qiaoxin was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was no wonder that she exuded heroism just now. Generally, the young lady of a large family is either a lady or arrogant.
Qiaoxin hurriedly got up and knelt down with a "poof": "The grass people have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, thank you princess." ”
Hao Yu glanced at the maid and said angrily: "It's all you, talkative!" ”
The maid smiled and said, "The princess spares her life, Pingdong knows that she is wrong." ”
Hao Yu sighed, shook his head, and said, "You look like this, I really don't think you know where you are wrong." ”
After speaking, Hao Yu said to Qiaoxin: "Get up and sit down." Where are you going, say it in advance and send you over. ”
"Thank you, princess." A warmth welled up in Qiaoxin's heart, and she stood up and sat down again.
The eldest princess of Haoyu, who has killed countless enemies on the battlefield, did not expect to be so approachable.
Qiaoxin suddenly remembered that the eldest princess of Haoyu had specially visited the Chu Palace's mansion before leaving for the north. Although I don't know what her friendship with Lijiujiu is. However, Qiaoxin knows that Hao Yu and Yun Chuhan have a good relationship with their brother and sister.
This is a good opportunity. Follow the carriage of the eldest princess Haoyu to the Chu Palace, and it should not be discovered by Gu Jingyue and them. What if Gu Jingyue is in the Chu Palace? No, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, some are busy. Qiao Xin thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Qiaoxin stood up again and knelt down.
"Can the princess send the slave maid to the Chu Palace?"
Listening to Qiaoxin's words, Hao Yu was a little surprised. She calls herself a slave maid, is she a maid in the palace of the king of Chu?
"What are you doing in the Chu Palace? What is your name. Hao Yu suddenly remembered that he had mentioned it for a long time, and the maid beside Qu Lingxue was Suxin.
Qiaoxin raised her head, looked at Hao Yu, and said, "Princess, the slave maid can't tell me for the time being." But the slave maid did have something good to tell the princess when she went to the palace of the king of Chu. ”
After speaking, Qiaoxin kowtowed heavily.
Hao Yu looked at Qiaoxin's serious appearance and nodded slightly: "Okay, I promise you." ”
Hao Yu knew that as long as he saw him for a long time, he would know what this girl wanted to do, so he didn't ask anymore. She was indeed a little tired.
Today, Hao Yu suddenly wanted to go to the temple outside the city to pray for the emperor. She calculated that she would be able to return before the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.
***
Peony Pavilion.
I looked at myself in the mirror for a long time, but I couldn't be happy. Because, she now has to dress up and go to the palace to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet.
It's not because of the scars on his face. The scars were completely gone. Not only that, but her skin was as good as a new one.
I have known for a long time that in the past year, I have made a lot of trouble in the city. Although it was not her will, she was involved after all. When I enter the palace this time, I will definitely become the focus.
Thinking of this, there is still a little nervousness after a long time. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it.
"Miss is so pretty! Skin is better than ever! Bi Luo smiled, fiddling with the beaded flowers, and looked at the long time in the mirror.
Mrs. Liu patted Biluo lightly and motioned for her to stop talking.
Li Jiujiu stretched out his right hand and gently touched his cheek and forehead. There is no news of Yun Chenhuan until now, Yun Chuhan is anxious and worried, and she is not feeling well.
Chaoyang Palace.
Yan An was changing Concubine De's clothes, it was a dark blue long dress, dignified and elegant but not luxurious.
The Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet is like a hundred flowers blooming, and all kinds of ladies compete for beauty. However, Concubine De is not willing to steal the limelight. No matter what, she tries to keep a low profile. She has long understood the truth of shooting a bird in the head.
"Niangniang, Chunxue said that although the queen has a headache, she is almost better, but she is still a little unwell. However, she will endure to attend tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve family dinner. Rather, it's still dressed up. Yan An said to Concubine De while arranging her belt.
"She is the queen, and taking out a random dress will be a hundred times more gorgeous to other mothers. I really hope that her headache will continue to be committed, but she will not be fine. It's rare to be stable for so long. Concubine De said sarcastically.
Hao Yu's carriage stopped at the gate of the Chu Palace.
The guard at the door saw the carriage of the princess's mansion and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Pingdong lifted the curtain and asked, "Brother Guard, can the prince and Niangniang be in the mansion?" ”
The guard hurriedly replied: "The prince and the mother have already taken the carriage to the palace, and this time the kung fu should be about to arrive." ”
Hearing him say this, Hao Yu hurriedly poked his head out: "The horse has a distant relative who came to the capital to find an errand. You take her to the Peony Pavilion for me and give it to Mama Liu. She knows how to do it. ”
After speaking, Hao Yu glanced at Qiaoxin.
Qiaoxin had already covered her face with a silk scarf. She kowtowed to Hao Yu to thank her, and then quickly got out of the car.
"Yes, princess!"
Hao Yu's temperament, the guards more or less know a little. Plus she is good with the princess, so she won't ask anything.
"Girl, come with me." One of the guards said.
"Thank you, big brother." In order to prevent the flaws from being exposed, Qiaoxin did not salute, but just owed a debt and bowed to express his gratitude.
Qiaoxin followed him to the Peony Pavilion.
Although he knew that the princess was not there, the guards did not walk in, but shouted twice at the door: "Mama Liu, Mama Liu come out quickly!" ”
Mrs. Liu heard the shouting and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen.
"Mama, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has just arrived." The guard told Mrs. Liu word for word what Hao Yu said just now.
Mrs. Liu frowned and looked up and down at Qiaoxin. Because her face was covered, she didn't recognize it.
It's good, why is it stuffed into the palace? Wouldn't it be nice to be in the princess's mansion? Is it because of the Lantern Festival, the princess and the concubine are about to leave Beijing? You don't have to be looking for an errand in the capital, do you? Mrs. Liu thought to herself.
Although she was puzzled, Mrs. Liu still said to Qiaoxin: "You can go in with me." ”
The guards left, and Qiaoxin followed Mrs. Liu in.
"Look at you with your baggage, did you just enter Beijing today?" Mrs. Liu asked.
Qiaoxin followed behind Mrs. Liu and said, "Yes, Mama." ”
Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Let's find a room for you to rest first." I'll arrange an errand for you when the mother comes back. ”
Mrs. Liu walked to the door of a bedroom, pushed open the door and walked in.
"There aren't many people waiting in the Peony Pavilion now, so there are many vacant houses. But don't worry, it's all clean, and I'll clean it when it's okay. I don't like to let them fall into dust. It was dark outside, so Mrs. Liu picked up the fire fold on the table and lit a candle.
Qiaoxin didn't want to see if the house was clean, she silently closed the door and knelt down.
Mrs. Liu was startled and hurriedly went to help her: "You kid, what are you doing?" ”
Qiaoxin silently took off the silk scarf on her face.
When Mrs. Liu saw her face, she quickly withdrew her hand: "It's you?" ”
Qiaoxin silently kowtowed, and then spoke: "I'm sorry for the princess." This time I came back to plead guilty. If you want to kill or chop, I will never complain. ”
Mrs. Liu looked at Qiaoxin's calm face and eyes, and couldn't figure out what she wanted to do. If Su Rin hadn't said that she wasn't dead, she would have thought she had seen a ghost!
Mrs. Liu looked at Qiaoxin coldly: "Su Xin, did you set fire to the Winter Snow Courtyard?" ”
"Mama, when the prince and princess come back, I will tell everything. It's just that...... Mama, can you give me a bite to eat? Skillful tone was pleading.
After thinking about it, she still waited for her master to come back, but Mrs. Liu was worried that she was playing tricks and decided to lock her in the house.
"You wait, don't go anywhere!" Mrs. Liu threw down a sentence and walked out quickly.
Qiaoxin stood up and sat down in her chair.
Mrs. Liu soon returned, with the lock in her hand.
Qiaoxin heard the sound of Mrs. Liu locking the door outside. She didn't stand up, she didn't get angry. From the night before she left Yangcheng, her heart was like a boulder.
In Qiaoxin's heart, she thinks that it is natural to repay debts. If you kill someone, you will pay for your life, and if you do something wrong, you must admit your mistake. Even if she was safe and sound for a long time, she also set fire to it with murderous intent.
Not long after, footsteps could be heard outside. Then there is the sound of unlocking.
Mrs. Liu opened the door, walked in with food, and then closed the door with her foot.
"Come on, eat." Mrs. Liu put Fang Cai on the table.
Two bowls of steaming rice, a bowl of braised pork and a bowl of shiitake mushroom rape.
"Mama Xie!" Qiaoxin was hungry, so she quickly picked up the bowl and picked up the chopsticks and devoured it.
Mrs. Liu looked at Qiaoxin's appearance, and the original maid looked a little vicissitudes. The skin on her face was dry, red, and had a small crack. Her hands were a little molten, and there were several cracks on the backs of her hands, as well as a little coagulated blood.
"Qu Ruren is crazy." Mrs. Liu looked at Qiaoxin with sharp eyes.
