Chapter 769: The Clue of the Red Tassel
"I just made apricot blossom cake, do you want to eat two pieces too?"
Murong saw that she had no intention of leaving, so she simply asked with a smile.
After Qingxue and Mama Tang brought the refreshments, they went to the Huxin Forest to collect firewood, leaving only the county lord of Cheng and a palace maid to accompany Murong Hui in the Jieyi Palace.
"What are they going to do?"
Putting down the fabric in his hand, the county lord of Cheng asked suspiciously.
"Go and collect firewood, lest you get enough in the winter."
Murong Hui's expression was calm, and when he got up, he sorted out all the things sent by Sang Ning and sent them to the West Side Palace.
The county lord of Cheng County ate two pieces of pastry, but he didn't say anything, but he had a deeper understanding of the dilemma of the three masters and servants of the Xie Yi Palace.
"When you take the ground, I will help you get the field back in front of you, so that she will not dare to trouble you again in the future."
After she was done, the county lord of Cheng wiped the corners of his mouth and said with a disdainful face.
Although County Lord Liu has such a name, he is actually just the daughter of a five-grade petty official.
Her uncle happened to be the top boss of County Lord Liu's father, so County Lord Liu really didn't even dare to come out in front of her, he was really a live quail.
Murong Hui shook her head and said lightly: "This kind of person is only you, she must be respectful to me, but if you are not there, she will calculate me even harder, and it is better to provoke her less." ”
"Hmph, if you can't clear your grievances next year, then I'll think of making her unable to come to the study, so that she won't have a chance to bully you."
Although the temper of the lord of Cheng County has changed a lot, in the end, his temperament is a little arrogant, and now he naturally can't think of it too comprehensive.
Murong Hui couldn't help but shake her head when she saw this, and said in her heart, there is more than one person in this study who bullied me, but I saw her high in the past, but now that I have lost Lin Yingxue's protection, I feel that bullying her will give me a sense of accomplishment in bullying the superiors.
Therefore, even if County Lord Liu is not there, there are still others to bully her, after all, there is no difference.
After she finished telling the county lord of Cheng County, she smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal to do it, even if I beat her in public, the queen mother just said a few words without pain, and it is not a punishment at all." ”
"That being said, I just don't like the way she looks now."
The county lord of Cheng pursed his lips, then looked at Murong Hui and said, "In your eyes in the past, was I just like her county lord?" ”
"It's better than her, it's just a few sour words, but it's not as hands-on, not as annoying as her."
Murong Hui couldn't help but smile, with a bit of amusement in her expression.
The county lord of Cheng didn't say anything, and after eating a few more pastries, he went home.
"You've been hiding for so long, and you haven't come in?"
Seeing the county lord of Cheng walk away, Murong Huicai turned his head sideways and said to the bushes next to him.
As she spoke, she saw the bushes move twice, and at first she thought it was the wind blowing.
But it soon turned out that this was not necessarily the case, this girl was wearing a pair of pink embroidered shoes, which were too conspicuous to see.
Soon Qingyue walked out slowly from behind the tree, looking at Murong Hui with red eyes.
"Your Highness, the slave maid has long known that you are not doing well, but I didn't expect it to be like this."
Wiping away her tears, Qing Yue said with a sob.
"It's not as bad as you say, I'm used to living here, it's very quiet."
patted her on the shoulder, Murong Hui was still a little moved, this palace maid is the most knowledgeable about the wind and rudder, and now she can still take the time to come and see her.
"Your Highness, the slave and maid have an important matter to do with you, so they have ventured here."
Qingyue glanced around and saw that there was no one there, so she whispered.
As a palace maid who has been in the East Side Hall for a long time, she naturally knows how much property Murong Hui has outside.
Therefore, everything Murong Hui has now is just a temporary downfall in her opinion.
If she doesn't mix well in the palace one day, Murong Hui can still send her out of the palace like she did with Mama Zhang, and she can live a stable life in the future.
She took the risk just to leave a way out for herself, and it was worth thinking about it like this.
"Come in and talk about it."
Seeing her solemn expression, Murong Hui hurriedly closed the door of the Jieyi Palace and beckoned her to enter the main hall.
"There are two things, the first thing is that the slave maid found that there was a palace maid beside Princess Rouhe, who liked to wear red tassel accessories, which was very similar to the one she was holding in her hand when Qinglan had an accident."
Qing Yue saw it with her own eyes, and confirmed it several times before mentioning it to Murong Hui.
"The second thing is that the old lady Ling has entered the palace again, and she still wants to marry you for Tang Jue, the eldest grandson of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, before he married, he accepted a noble concubine, and his reputation is not very good, and now the marriage is difficult."
After Qingyue finished speaking, she snorted coldly, and said in her heart, ordinary officials and young ladies can't ask for it, and they even think that Princess Shang really doesn't know what to say.
"No, Your Highness, what if the queen mother agrees?"
At this time, Qingxue and Mama Tang just came back, and Mama Tang quickly closed the door.
Qingxue ran to Murong Hui in a few steps and said worriedly. 4E
"Today, the queen mother ordered someone to send several red silk horses over, and she was happy to see it, and the slave maid thought it was the matter of the eldest prince, did she want His Royal Highness to marry? That's not a good guy! ”
Although Qingxue stayed for a while, she was not a fool in the end, and the bad thing in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion had spread throughout the capital, and she was naturally clear, so she was very worried.
"Your Royal Highness, today's Buddhist scriptures can be written, and I will send them to the queen."
After hearing this, Mama Tang also frowned slightly, but she knew that Lin Yingxue didn't believe it, it was Murong Hui who wanted to harm her.
Therefore, he still loves Murong Hui, and will never marry her to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
"I'm sorry for you to help inquire, the attitude of the queen."
After Qingyue finished speaking, she saluted politely, and her expression was quite worried.
"Where is Sister Qingyue on duty now?"
After seeing Mama Tang leave, Qingxue was curious.
"Now in the Huanyi Bureau, it's not too hard to be in charge."
Qingyue sighed, knowing in her heart that no matter how good the Huanyi Bureau was, it would not be as good as being by Murong Hui's side before.
"Be cautious, if I can get out of this palace gate in the future, I will also think of taking you away."
Seeing her lonely expression, she knew that her life was just barely sustaining, so Murong Hui simply comforted.
"Your Royal Highness, don't forget the slave maid, if you marry in the future, you will leave with the slave maid, not to mention the hard work on duty in this palace, there are too many facts of intrigue, I knew it was so, it was better to follow you at the beginning."
Qingyue sobbed, she was sad first, but she didn't know that she had lived like this before she entered the East Side Palace.
It's just that the life in the east side hall is too comfortable, and now that Leng Buding has to live the old life, she naturally can't adapt to it.
"Don't be like this, you have to go back later, if people see you like this, they will definitely be suspicious, and you will stay away from me in the future."
Murong Hui couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, only a few months later, Qingyue's face had thinned to the size of a palm, obviously suffering.
Qingyue nodded, waited for a while, and saw Mama Tang coming back in a hurry, still holding two plates of Buddha cakes in her hands, saying that they were given by the queen.
"The queen said that His Royal Highness is still young, and he should cultivate his self-cultivation and temperament, and it is not appropriate to marry prematurely."
As soon as Mama Tang entered the door, she didn't wait for anyone to ask, so she said with a faint smile.
Murong Hui was not surprised, she had long known that Lin Yingxue would not do this, but Qingxue and Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's been a long time since the slave came out, it's time to go back."
Qingyue waited for the result, and hurriedly saluted and said.
"Over there, you are far away, if it is really her who did it, since she can do it to Qinglan, she will naturally do it to you."
Murong Hui sighed, if she had used some connections in the past, she could have used some connections to investigate carefully.
Now she can only stay here, obviously she already has an object of suspicion in her heart, but she can't do anything, this feeling really makes her uncomfortable.
"The slave knows."
Qingyue nodded, and hurriedly left the Enlightenment Palace.
Seeing this, Mama Tang sighed in her heart, just now she also came in first, and she also heard the conversation between the two.
If this is the case, it is inconvenient for her to intervene, so she has to inform the queen mother of the matter, and let the queen mother send someone to investigate the matter.
Even if you check, you may not be able to find out the results, but it has been too gentle and too peaceful over the years, and you are too careful, and everything you do is not leaky, so you can't know where to start.
At the mention of Qinglan's death, Murong Hui and Qingxue were depressed for a while, and it took two days to recover.
In the past two days, the Lord of Cheng County has come over every day, and she stays for an hour, and she is not empty-handed every time, looking at her enthusiastic appearance, it makes Murong Hui cry and laugh.
She knew the mind of the county lord of Cheng, and felt that she was living too hard, so she deliberately came to eat with her, just to help her improve her food.
Since people treat it sincerely, Murong Hui had to be careful, and helped her embroider a screen in private, waiting for her to give it to her when she got married.
There was only one day that the county lord of Cheng County couldn't come, but Shen Jing came over with snacks, she was now Murong Hui's only companion, and Tang Moxue had already found an excuse to go home.
"Your Highness, I heard that you have a good relationship with the Lord of Cheng County, but I didn't expect that the friendship would be so deep."
As soon as Shen Jing sat down, she smiled politely.
Her family is only a medium-sized family in Beijing, if it weren't for such a title, she would have had the opportunity to meet people like Lord Cheng and Murong Hui.
So now that the two have such a good relationship, I can't help but feel a little envious.
"Cheng'er has a simple temperament, if you like whoever you like, you will dig out your heart and lungs, if you don't like anyone, you will be cold, those who like it look cute, and those who don't like it will only think she is too willful, but it is not uncommon in this world to be able to act so recklessly."
Murong Hui smiled and said softly.
"It's just that she is willing to postpone the marriage for His Royal Highness, and I'm afraid few people can do this."
Shen Jing nodded and sighed.
Murong Hui raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Jing with some surprise, if Shen Jing didn't say anything about this, she really didn't know.
