Chapter 128: Bold
Shu Yue raised her head suddenly, looking at Bai Yanran in disbelief, she never thought that Bai Yanran would agree so happily, and for a while she suspected that she was keeping her back.
Shu Yue spent this time in the capital, watching Ji Lingyun and Bai Yanran get married, and being entangled by Zuo Chengan every day, she was really tired.
Although Zuo Chengan is also the son of the prime minister, Shu Yue remembers that the prime minister died early in his previous life, the Zuo family declined, and Zuo Chengan is a concubine who has no official position and no position, so he will live by watching the face of the prime minister's wife for the rest of his life, how willing she is.
Reliving a lifetime, Shu Yue felt that God was helping her seize the opportunity to get the prince, how could she be willing to give up lightly. There is no Gu Yueyao in this life, Liu Xing'er is not a climate, as long as it is picturesque, she will definitely be able to win the favor of the prince alone.
The only stumbling block is this Bai Yanran, but Shu Yue is confident that her appearance and talent are better, and she lives a lifetime, can she still fight a pampered daughter?
So since she received a letter from her aunt half a month ago, she was even more unwilling to learn that her aunt had entrusted His Royal Highness King An to take care of her before leaving. finally waited for the opportunity, and tried his best to coax Zuo Chengan to help her enter King An's mansion.
Shu Yue had already made up her mind, with the temperament of the prince, she had a promise to her aunt first, and she would never ignore herself. As long as she enters King An's mansion and is close to the water, she has a way to stay by the prince's side.
It's just that I thought I was going to perform another play in front of the prince, but I didn't want Bai Yanran to agree so easily.
Although Zhu Yong on the side was still a little foggy, when he heard that Bai Yanran promised to keep people, he hurriedly said to Shu Yue: "Don't thank the princess yet." ”
Shu Yue showed a smug smile, and Ying Ying bowed and said, "Shu Yue, thank you princess for your success." ”
Lingxi has always seen a lot of such women, and immediately understood what was going on, and at this moment, seeing Shu Yue's appearance, she was even more displeased, and reprimanded: "Since you have entered the palace as a slave, you will call yourself a slave in the future, remember to follow your duty." ”
Shu Yue naturally recognized that this was Princess Lingxi, whom the prince had always loved, so she had to be wronged.
"Yes, Shu...... The slave and maid wrote it down. ”
Su Xin looked at Shu Yue and became angry, and said, "Since you are here to be a girl, don't want to be lazy, let's go and wash the clothes in the wooden basin in the backyard, but you have to wash them." ”
Shu Yue paused, and her eyes turned around the room, but there was no one to rely on, so she had to go aggrieved.
Zhu Yong also seemed to understand that he had been deceived at this time, and his face was a little unsightly. He was about to retreat, but at this time Zhu Ling finally came back, but he came empty-handed.
Zhu Ling's face was even more ugly when she saw Zhu Yong, and Zhu Yong also looked unhappy when she saw this daughter.
At this moment, I heard Bai Yanran ask, "Why didn't you bring the luminous cup?" Princess Lingxi is still waiting to see. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and froze in place and didn't dare to raise his head for a while. Zhu Ling, who was only listening to the side, paused, and suddenly knelt down and replied: "The princess atons for her sins, the slave and maid are not good to take care of, and the luminous cup is ...... It's gone. ”
Even if he didn't raise his head, Zhu Yong could feel Bai Yanran's gaze, his heart was tense, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
The prince has never cared about the treasures in the treasury, and many things are not even seen at all, and one or two less ones will not be known at all.
He looked at the luminous cup as rare, so he thought about staying for a few days to watch it and then secretly put it back, so that he could be majestic in front of Miao Yu, anyway, it was not the first time he had done this kind of thing.
But he didn't want the princess to suddenly ask for the key to the treasury, and later learned that it was handed over to Zhu Ling, so he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be the same to let the girl go back one day.
It's just that he hasn't been able to find time recently, and he doesn't want to be careless for a while, so he ended up in such a difficult situation today.
Bai Yanran looked at Zhu Yong for a moment, and said, "Steward Zhu." ”
Zhu Yong was startled and almost jumped up, his heart had already risen to his throat. Countless thoughts flashed through his heart in an instant, but before he could come up with a reason, he heard Bai Yanran continue: "Since the person has already brought, then you can go down, there is no other command here." ”
Zhu Yong was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, what Bai Yanran said, and his heart fell back into his stomach again. Also, how could the princess notice this so quickly, and he still had a chance to turn things over.
"Then the old slave will retreat first, and if the princess has any other orders, just let people know."
The moment he turned around, he stared at Zhu Ling with a pair of eyes, but Zhu Ling didn't look at it at all, and Zhu Yong, who was angry, gritted his teeth.
After Zhu Yong left, Bai Yanran said lightly: "You get up first, if you have something to say." ”
Only then did Zhu Ling get up and replied: "The slave maid was ordered to open the treasury to look for the luminous cup, but she couldn't find it. As a rule, the gifts of the emperor must be shelved in the cabinet and will never be placed in the same place as other things, which is very disrespectful.
Later, the slave maid couldn't, so she had to ask people to find out the congratulatory gifts for the prince's wedding and open them one by one, thinking if it would be accidentally mixed up when the subordinates placed them. After careful investigation, there was still no result, and the slave and maid had to come to the princess to plead guilty. ”
Bai Yanran and Ling Xi glanced at each other, Ling Xi's eyes were full of disbelief, but Bai Yanran knew it in her heart.
She looked at Zhu Ling and asked, "When you counted the congratulatory gifts that day, you could see the glow-in-the-dark cup?" ”
Zhu Ling shook her head and replied: "No, on that day, Steward Zhu only sent congratulatory gifts from ordinary guests, and the congratulatory gifts from all over the palace entered the treasury on the day of the wedding, just in case." "Everybody
Bai Yanran nodded, and said meaningfully: "Since the things have indeed entered the warehouse, and the key has not been lost, it will not be that the frequency has disappeared." Then take a thorough inventory of the treasury and take a good look at where the glow-in-the-dark cup is hidden. ”
Lingxi grew up in the palace since he was a child, although he was pure-hearted, he was not a stupid person, so he naturally saw the greasy in this, and he was angry with the bold butler Zhu, and echoed: "Yes, you must check, this luminous cup is a big wedding gift from my father to my brother and sister-in-law, and the loss of the imperial gift should be reported to my father, but I can't easily let go of this bold thief." ”
Bai Yanran patted Ling Xi's hand comfortingly, and said to Zhu Ling: "There are too many things in the warehouse, I'm afraid you can't be busy alone, this matter will be left to you and Ah Ruan and Xiaoba to do it together, if you don't have enough manpower, go to Hui Niang to find a few honest and reliable, don't make any mistakes again." ”
Zhu Ling knew that this matter must have nothing to do with her father, and the princess should not trust her, so she obeyed her orders and acted gloomily.
After Zhu Ling left, Su Xin said: "If Miss doesn't worry about Zhu Ling, just leave this matter to the slave maid." ”
Bai Yanran shook her head and said, "I asked Ah Ruan and Xiaoba to assist not because I didn't trust Zhu Ling, but because it made it difficult for her." If it was only handed over to her alone, Zhu Yong would definitely have to start from her, but with Ah Ruan and Xiaoba watching, he could only die of this heart, and Zhu Ling of the province was in a dilemma. ”
Ling Xi said curiously: "It seems that the imperial sister-in-law values that girl very much." ”
Bai Yanran said earnestly: "Some people are born in Qinggui, but they want to be willing to fall. Some people are born in the mud, but they are clean bones. ”
The treasury was full of all the treasures of the palace, whether they were rewards, or congratulatory gifts, or good things received in the shops below, which were kept in a book, but they were very disorganized because of their great quantity and lack of care.
Zhu Ling went to Hui Niang to explain that she intended to borrow someone's hand, and Hui Niang immediately understood the princess's meaning, and picked a few girls who she was relieved to help. Pei Tang also heard the news and came over to join in the fun, and the warehouse, which had always been deserted, suddenly opened up.
Ling Xi looked at Bai Yanran's indifferent expression, and also settled down, and said with a smile: "It seems that there is going to be a good show in the palace, but unfortunately I can't see it." But when I get back, I will go to my mother's place and sit down, and I will never let the wicked man sue first. ”
Bai Yanran patted the back of her hand affectionately, and they knew each other.
The dark tide in the palace was surging, but Ji Lingyun in the study was ignorant. When he came out of the study, he heard Lingxi talking to Bai Yanran about his "great achievements" when he was young.
"That year, Yao Huang Peony, who paid tribute from the south of the Yangtze River, was robbed by Lan Guifei, and also called the concubines of the palace to have a flower appreciation banquet.
In the chaos, the two pots of precious peony flowers were also trampled on, and Lan Guifei was sick for more than a month. ”
"Another time, the third emperor brother secretly tore up the calligraphy that the second emperor brother had learned, and the second emperor brother was punished by the master for copying the book.
The Fifth Emperor Brother took advantage of the Third Emperor Brother's unpreparedness to put medicinal powder in his tea, but the Fifth Emperor Brother couldn't bear to be humble and flattering in class, and was finally kicked out of the school by Taifu Unbearable. ”
Bai Yanran listened to it with relish, these past were things that she had never heard of in her previous life.
I still remember that when I was swimming in the lake in the palace on the night of the festival, Ji Lingyun also said a lot of interesting things. Listening to what Ling Xi said at this moment, Bai Yanran could already sketch Ji Lingyun in his mind with the appearance of a naughty young man.
"Ahem."
Ji Lingyun coughed dryly twice, stepped forward and said, "Yan'er, don't listen to her nonsense. She was only a few years old at the time, how could she still remember these things clearly. ”
Lingxi was unconvinced: "I was still young at that time, but the queen mother often mentioned these past events to me over the years, and the queen mother will never be mistaken." ”
Bai Yanran also smiled and nodded in agreement: "It sounds like it is indeed something that the prince will do." ”
Ji Lingyun was helpless, so he had to change his words and said, "In two days, it will be Aunt Anle's Yongqiu banquet, and the post was delivered yesterday." This is the first time we have visited my aunt's house since our wedding, and we don't know what to prepare. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Yanran seemed to suddenly think of something, pointed to the bracelet on Su Xin's hand and asked, "The prince looks at this bracelet, does it look familiar?" ”
Seeing Ji Lingyun looking at the gold bracelet on Su Xin's wrist inexplicably, Bai Yanran said helplessly: "The prince won't have forgotten it, this bracelet is from the hand of the prince, right?" ”
Su Xin said in disbelief: "This is a reward from the prince when he blocked the door on the wedding day, doesn't the prince remember?" ”
Ji Lingyun suddenly realized: "I see, I asked Steward Zhu to prepare these things, but I didn't look at them carefully. ”
Bai Yan said clearly: "In this way, how many things are in the warehouse, and the prince doesn't know?" ”
Ji Lingyun sensed that there was something in her words, and hesitated: "In the past, the keys to the treasury were kept separately by Steward Zhu and Mr. Pei, so there shouldn't be anything wrong." ”
Bai Yanran smiled and said, "If my expectation is correct, every time Steward Zhu goes to the warehouse to access something, Mr. Pei shouldn't go with him, right?" ”
Ji Lingyun touched his nose, which was considered a default.
Mr. Pei's temperament has always been casual and free, how can he care about these little things, just keep the key, and accompany Zhu Yong to the warehouse every time.
Ling Xi shook his head and said: "The imperial brother is really confused, he doesn't even know that the luminous cup given by his father and the emperor is missing, and I don't know how many things were lost in the past." ”
