Chapter 4 Murder with a knife
I didn't expect that Mr. He and Father-in-law He would dare to hide the silver dust charcoal privately!
"But how do you know, princess?"
"I smell it." Ye Yuhong hooked the corners of her mouth, her sense of smell has been extremely sensitive since she was a child, she originally thought that after the crossing, the sensitive sense of smell would disappear, but she didn't expect it to recover the next day after the crossing.
Speaking of which, this is thanks to Ye Yuqing, who came to show off with the silver dust charcoal rewarded by the queen two days ago, so that she can remember the smell, there are at least two large baskets of silver dust charcoal in the cabinet just now.
"Smell the ......" Shuang'er was a little surprised, but she didn't suspect that the princess's nose seemed to be a lot more sensitive recently, and she could always smell things she couldn't smell.
"But princess, since the princess has caught the handle, why don't you report it to the queen's mother, in this way, Manager He will definitely be punished."
"What good will it do us if he is punished?" Ye Yuhong looked at the imperial garden in front of her, which was still exquisite even in winter, "The silver dust charcoal will not be rewarded to us, there is still no charcoal fire in the Yuexi Pavilion, and the princess of the dignified palace reported the head of the Internal Affairs Office because of the charcoal fire, no matter how you listen to it, it is a trivial joke." ”
Frost nodded, "The princess is right. ”
I don't know why, since the princess woke up from a serious illness a few days ago, she seems to be much more powerful than before, and her temperament is different. However, such a princess is really good, at least she can be less bullied.
Before waiting for the next day, the fine charcoal was delivered to the Moon Tide Pavilion, and it was much more than it should be.
Ye Yuhong was not ambiguous, and directly asked people to accept all of them, as if they were making up for the previous shortage.
And what happened in the Internal Affairs Office could not be hidden, and together with the punishment of He Quan, it soon spread in private.
It's just that most of the palace maids and eunuchs still think that this may just be because Manager He took care of his identity and let the five princesses, otherwise the five princesses are so stupid, how could they get a bargain in front of Manager He.
Hearing the discussion relayed by Shuang'er, Ye Yuhong just roasted the fire while eating only oranges, and smiled indifferently.
It doesn't matter what others say, the important thing is that this charcoal fire is really delivered.
It's just that compared to Ye Yuhong's calmness, Ye Yuqing's side threw things up in annoyance.
"This princess has clearly ordered that she is not allowed to give any charcoal, and those fools in the Internal Affairs Office don't even listen to this princess's orders?"
Dressed in a bright red eye-catching palace dress, with charming eyebrows and eyes, and decent makeup, it is just that compared with Ye Yuhong, it is always a little less delicate and smart.
"Princess, the slave maid has already gone to ask, I heard that this is what Chief He meant, and Father-in-law He was also punished for this matter." Cuiluan cautiously replied, she was Ye Yuqing's personal palace maid, and she had been serving her since she was a child.
"Rubbish!" Ye Yuqing said angrily, "He Dexiang is also a bold person, and he dares to disobey the princess." ”
"Princess, after all, Chief Manager He is in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, and the queen mother means, princess, you still don't offend him."
"Ridiculous, is it possible that the princess still wants to let him be a minion?"
"After all, he is the head of the Internal Affairs Office, do you really think you are a slave in your courtyard?"
There was a slightly displeased tone, but if you listen carefully, there is more pampering in it.
Ye Yuqing turned her head, looked at Queen Lin who was walking in, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Queen Mother, why are you here?" ”
Queen Lin is in her thirties, although she is usually well maintained, she can still see fine lines in the corners of her eyes, and between her eyebrows and eyes, she is five points similar to Ye Yuqing.
"If the palace doesn't come, do you want to clean the things in the palace?" Looking at the mess on the ground, Queen Lin frowned.
"The queen mother, the daughter is angry in her heart, these things are nothing!" She is the third princess, the concubine of the queen.
"These things are nothing, but if they get out, won't they damage your reputation?" Empress Lin taught to speak, "Besides, just a few baskets of charcoal are worth your anger?" ”
"I ......" Ye Yuqing gritted her teeth, she was not only angry about this, she had obviously sent someone to secretly attack before, but Ye Yuhong was still alive and well, and now it seems to be getting more and more difficult to deal with.
"Queen Mother, it's not that you don't know that your daughter hates Ye Yuhong, but she can't get rid of this thorn in her eye!"
"How did the queen mother teach you before, just a Ye Yuhong, why do you do it yourself." Empress Lin's tone was contemptuous.
The palace maids on the side listened and didn't dare to come out.
Empress Lin has been in the palace for many years, and ten years ago, the first queen died, and she was canonized as the queen, but she only gave birth to an only daughter, Ye Yuqing.
Although she usually prefers Ye Yuqing, she behaves quite fairly in front of outsiders. Only for Ye Yuhong, it seems that he doesn't care about it at all.
"But what else can my daughter do if she doesn't do it, is it difficult to wait for her to fend for herself in the Yuexi Pavilion." Ye Yuqing complained in a complaining tone.
"You forget, what day is it in a few days, where will that one go?" Queen Lin rolled her eyes, "Think of a way to send her over, and when that time comes, how can Ye Yuhong live." ”
Ye Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood, and the essence flashed in her eyes, "Queen Mother, what do you mean is to kill people with a knife!" ”
Queen Lin nodded, hooked the corners of her mouth lightly, just a Ye Yuhong, as long as she does it skillfully, she doesn't let people grab the handle, except for it.
After all, she's not really a royal bloodline!
……
On the first day of the lunar month, the charcoal fire in the Yuexi Pavilion has not been broken since the last time, and it is rare that Ye Yuqing has not made any action on his side, Ye Yuhong feels that since the crossing, he has finally lived a comfortable life for a few days.
"Princess, the slave has picked some plum blossoms, and I will make you plum blossom cakes to eat in the kitchenette at night."
Shuang'er was carrying a small basket, Ye Yuhong looked at it, and it was really plum blossoms inside, calculating the season, and now the plum blossoms should be blooming just right.
"Shuang'er, where is the best plum blossom in the palace?"
Shuang'er thought for a while, "It should be Nanyuan, but princess, if you want to go to enjoy the flowers, don't go to Nanyuan." ”
"Why?" Could it be that which big man in the palace is private?
"It's close to the former queen's residence, and since the death of the first queen, few people have gone there again."
Shuang'er lowered her voice, the first queen's family was suspected of rebellion, since the death of the first queen, the emperor ordered no one to talk about it anymore, and even the plaque of the first queen's residence was removed.
However, she has only been in the palace for a few years, and these are all things that people in the palace heard when they secretly discussed, and the specifics are not clear.
Ye Yuhong nodded, "Then I'll go out for a walk." ”
"Princess, then you go outside the courtyard first, don't go far, the slave maid will soak this flower in water and go to accompany you." Shuang'er instructed uneasily.
"Okay." Ye Yuhong was helpless, it seemed that Shuang'er had already understood her road idiot attributes.
