Chapter 729, the source is here
The palace maids in the East Palace have been locked up in the firewood room in the backyard, all of them worried, not knowing what happened. From time to time, they exchanged their heads and muttered to Cheng Chunjing and Han Wangan to stop them.
The two of them were guarding the courtyard, and they were also quietly muttering, what kind of person is so bold that he dares to fight the idea of the princess's dowry, is it that one by one, I don't know how powerful the princess is? When the crown princess made a big fuss in the court, the harem had already spread all over the harem, at that time she was still a boudoir woman, crying and making trouble in the golden palace, and she just pulled the imperial history off the horse, not to mention these things later, haven't they heard of it?
Han Wang'an shook his head and said in a low voice, "I don't know what Your Highness is going to do with these people." ”
Cheng Chunjing also sighed: "Your Royal Highness has entered the palace, it is estimated that this matter will have to be handled by Niangniang, if the crown princess is in the capital, such a thing will never happen." ”
Han Wangan glanced at Mama Liu and Mama Ming who were guarding the door, at this time, Mama Liu frowned, looked at the palace maids in the firewood room, and looked pensive, presumably thinking about the inside story of this matter; Looking at Mama Ming next to her, Mama Ming didn't have any expression on her face, faintly, and didn't care, but when she happened to look at Mama Liu and those palace maids, she saw a hint of relief in her eyes, and seemed to be a little worried.
Obviously, Cheng Chunjing was also quietly looking at them, Han Wangan looked at Cheng Chunjing again, and the two exchanged glances, they both grew up in the palace, Guo Qiang's people who trained him have seen the intrigue of the ladies in the palace, and he has also seen many female officials and palace maids secretly dumping, what scene have you not seen?
After the prince entered the East Palace, after getting along with the original palace and Hou Mansion, these people's temperaments are also very good, Liu Mama is from a low background, but she is a close confidant of the mother, Jia Mama is the prince's grandmother, and the two are safe, Ming Mama is a female official in the palace, and she has a high spirit, and she can leave her post and return to her hometown in a few years.
While the two were thinking about it, there were already attendants outside who came in quickly to pass on the queen's decree, and passed on the two supervisors, the two grandmothers and the girls in the princess's bedroom.
The four of them were busy and took people to the front hall to meet the queen.
Queen Mu was high up, looking at the piece kneeling on the ground, Su Luo made tea herself, Wei Peng took it, handed it over, the queen took it, gently hit the foam on it, took a sip, and praised: "The tea in your East Palace is not bad, the palace drinks the same as the one you sent to the palace the day before yesterday, which is also sent by the little uncle of the Xie family?" ”
Wei Peng smiled, and the queen smiled: "The little uncle of the Xie family is a sensible person, and he thinks about your father and you in everything." Is there a battle report recently? Is Cher's injury healed? ”
Wei Peng replied: "A few days ago, the military department did have a battle report, they won another battle in the western Xinjiang, Jiulin and Zige are all right, and the crown princess is fine." ”
The queen nodded slightly, put down the tea bowl in her hand, glanced at the group of people on the ground, and said lightly: "I heard today that something happened in the East Palace, originally, the affairs of the East Palace were said by the Crown Princess, and the Palace did not plan to interfere, but now, your master is going to fight for the country, and the prince wants to participate in politics and share worries for the emperor, and he has no time to take care of the trivial affairs of the East Palace, so you are getting more and more emboldened, and you have done such a thing that is contrary to the Lord?" ”
In the end, her tone became extremely stern, and the temperature of the entire hall dropped a little.
Everyone didn't dare to do it together.
The queen said coldly: "Then tell me what's going on, if no one admits it, then you minions will all be beaten to death!" She slammed the table and shouted, "Who gave you such courage!" If you dare to come nonsense in the East Palace, aren't you afraid that the palace will ask for a holy decree and punish your nine clans! ”
Everyone knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads, who didn't know that the emperor had always favored his wife and obeyed the queen's words, if she asked for such a holy decree, it would not be too easy, not to mention that someone still committed theft in the East Palace, which was originally a capital crime.
The queen took another sip of tea, softened her tone, and said, "Mama Liu, you are the old man next to Xue'er, and most of her things are kept by you, so you can tell the palace." ”
Mama Liu hurriedly knelt forward and climbed a few steps, kowtowed and said: "Back to the mother's words, Hou Ye's dowry has always been placed in the treasury, there are only three keys, one each for the slave maid and Ziyan, and the other one was originally held by the tea girl next to Hou Ye, Hou Ye went out to bring the four girls, and this key was handed over to His Royal Highness, which was collected by His Royal Highness. Today, His Royal Highness wants to give makeup to Miss Lian San, so that people can take it, who knows...... When the slaves and maids were counted at the beginning of the month, everything was still normal, but they could not affect what had happened in the past few days. ”
The queen put the cup down and said to Wei Peng, "Where's your key?" ”
Wei Peng replied: "Wumo, go get it." Wumo answered, went to his dormitory to get the key, and took it without much effort, but the expression on his face was different.
Wei Peng was puzzled, Wumo handed over the key with both hands, and said in a low voice: "The key is still there, but ...... Niangniang, Your Highness, this key was originally placed in the lower left corner of the third drawer of the Niangniang dressing table, and there were originally a few earrings of the Niangniang next to it, but when the minister went to get it, the key was on the right side of the drawer, and the earrings of the Niangniang were ...... You have been moved, Your Highness, you have not seen things and thought about people......"
That means Your Highness, you don't have anything to do with your mother's personal belongings to solve the lovesickness, right?
Wei Peng was stunned, Ah Xue's things never moved, unless it was the two of them, she painted her eyebrows and inserted a hairpin, after she went on the expedition, she was full of lovesickness, but she didn't have time to take her hairpin ring to relieve her boredom.
The queen looked at him, Wei Peng's face had sunk, he slowly paced among the crowd, looking down at these people, he didn't care about women, but he still knew who cleaned the dormitory and who could enter and leave the study. Helan Xue's people have always avoided him far away, for fear of being confused, after Helan Xue went out, the cleaning of the dormitory was all done by the little palace maids and chamberlains in the East Palace.
And these subordinates in the East Palace are different, when Helan Xue is at home, there are always people who want to cheat their wings, and these days, there are no less people shaking in front of his eyes, but they are all regarded as air by him.
But what happened in front of me was that the people in his dormitory stole the key, and then opened the storehouse and took away the things. He frowned, Ah Xue's dowry is so much, where is it not easy to get, but these are the ones that have to be given to Lian San, isn't it very easy to be discovered?
A hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The queen threw a smile at her, her son was still very transparent, and he figured it out at once.
