Chapter 665: The Second Competition
"Your Majesty also asked the little one to bring you a message, this matter may involve you, so you don't have to worry about it, Your Majesty will deal with this matter."
The little eunuch hunched his waist, his eyes were respectful, he naturally knew how deep Murong Jun's feelings for Lin Yingxue were.
Therefore, she didn't dare to anger Lin Yingxue at all, so she had to say it carefully.
"The palace people who are in charge of managing those prey today, have you checked it?"
Lin Yingxue didn't respond, but asked the grandmother who was standing aside.
The expression of the grandmother on the side was a little strange, and she did not shy away from the little eunuch, so she said: "Hui Niangniang, the person who has managed those prey in the past few days is none other than Mama Qian." ”
After this grandmother finished speaking, her eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of the bedroom, and at this time Murong Hui was lying in the bedroom resting.
Lin Yingxue thought for a while, and finally remembered that this Mama Qian used to be the mama who served Murong Hui, and when she was in the East Side Hall before, she really covered the sky with one hand.
If it hadn't been for the fact that she later angered Murong Hui, she would not have been transferred to the Imperial Horse Prison to work.
Now it seems that instead of repenting, she is planning to murder the old master, which is really a brainless person.
"Execute Mama Qian, and the other palace people who manage the prey will all be sent to the cold palace to be on duty."
Thinking of Mama Qian, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but feel disgusted, took a sip of tea, and then continued: "To the outside world, it was said that King Ling was not doing things well, causing the prey in the horse farm to eat what Xiang Ke was, and then became poisoned. He was therefore punished by a year's fine. ”
After listening to Lin Yingxue's words, the little eunuch hurriedly responded, and found that Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun's handling methods were surprisingly consistent.
"After I go back, I will tell the emperor that this matter will be handled according to what I said, King Ling still has some military power and connections in his hands, and he can't be tough on him at this time."
Putting down the teacup in her hand, she couldn't help but feel a little irritable in her heart, but in the face of Rong Guo's current form, she could only do this.
"The little one understands, the little one has retired."
After the little eunuch finished speaking, he quietly withdrew from the main hall.
"King Ling's Mansion has accepted so many concubines, why hasn't she been busy, and there is still the leisure to unite with foreign clans to deal with us?"
Leaning back on the recliner, he closed his eyes and said puzzled.
"It is probably because I can't take advantage of those concubines that I put this tone on Princess Linghui and ...... on you. ”
Mama stood aside and smiled, with a bit of mockery in her eyes, and a little disdain in her tone.
"This matter is about Rong Guo's face, and I feel that I can't make it public, so I can only teach her some lessons in private."
Lin Yingxue didn't open her eyes, and still said quietly: "Tell the old lady what Princess Ling did, remember to say it slowly, the old lady is not young." ”
Mama smiled on the side, she was not surprised at all, she had been following Lin Yingxue for a long time, so she had already guessed what Lin Yingxue would do.
Mama answered, covered Lin Yingxue with a blanket, and left in a hurry.
There was silence in Fengyi Palace, and the palace maids on the side deliberately slowed down their breathing, so as not to wake up Lin Yingxue and Murong Hui.
When Murong Hui woke up, she found that the light in the entire bedroom was very dim.
And this was not her bedroom, which made Murong Hui a little frightened.
However, after sobering up a little, Murong Hui remembered that this was the bedroom of Fengyi Palace, and after she recognized it, she breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked out.
When she walked to the main hall, she saw Lin Yingxue lying down
Resting on the chaise longue, he seemed to be asleep, with a ledger at hand.
Murong Hui walked over cautiously, and saw Mama walking in, and whispered to Lin Yingxue a few times, and Lin Yingxue woke up.
"Mother, it's time for dinner."
Mama leaned down and reminded in a whisper.
Lin Yingxue sat up straight, grabbed Murong Hui and said with a smile: "Hui'er is also eating with me today, we haven't eaten together for a long time." ”
"Auntie Hui'er also likes to eat the food here, but can't we ask my sister-in-law to have dinner together?"
She thought for a moment, then asked curiously with wide eyes.
"He will definitely have to feast the envoys tonight, and he will not come back for dinner."
Lin Yingxue cleaned her hands and urged Murong Hui to eat together.
Murong Hui thought of Cai Na as soon as she heard it, and she couldn't help but feel a wave of boredom in her heart.
Lin Yingxue naturally saw her thoughts, hurriedly sandwiched a piece of sour bamboo shoot meat for her, and said gently: "You don't eat so many delicious foods, what do you want those pickled people to do?" ”
She had a smile on her face, like she was telling a joke.
Murong Hui couldn't help but smile, and her mood was much better.
After a meal, Murong Hui saw that the sky had completely darkened, so she said goodbye to Lin Yingxue and got up to leave.
After she returned to the east side hall, she was busy with people helping her take off the heavy clothes on her body, and after taking a bath, she couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.
She picked up a book and read it half-lying on the bed.
"Your Highness, you are in the limelight today, but you have to let the slaves and maids and others be happy."
At this time, I saw Mama Huang walking in with a group of palace people.
As if they had said yes, everyone knelt down and kowtowed to her.
"It's just a game, and it's worth the excitement of you? Mama Huang will give everyone a piece of money later, and the right is just a lottery head, so you all disperse. ”
She had seen Lin Yingxue ride a horse, and she was far worse than Lin Yingxue in terms of riding and shooting, although she won today, she didn't think it was a big deal.
"This Princess Cai Na is the best among the princesses of the same age in all countries, and if you can win her, doesn't it mean that you are better than her? Besides, she had just ordered someone to send 10,000 taels of silver over, obviously admitting defeat. ”
Hearing Murong Hui say this, the other palace people did not agree, and boasted.
"It's not necessarily a good thing to be in the limelight, after you go out, you have to keep a low profile and don't get into conflict with people."
Seeing them so proud, Murong Hui couldn't help but be a little worried, not to mention that she didn't believe that someone as conceited as Cai Na would admit defeat to her.
"The old slave knows."
Mama Huang knew what Murong Hui was thinking as soon as she heard it, and hurriedly spoke.
Seeing this, everyone stopped bothering Murong Hui, and they all left one after another and went to Mama Huang to receive the reward.
"Your Highness, you have to go and help entertain the envoys early tomorrow morning, so let's rest early."
Before Mama Huang left, she specially ordered.
Murong Hui responded, but continued to read, and Mama Huang had no choice but to leave when she saw this.
Murong Hui read the book for half an hour before she yawned and fell asleep.
On the second day, Murong Hui woke up early in the morning, she called someone to wash up, and Murong Hui urged Mama Zhang to teach her how to cook.
She forgot to learn to cook yesterday, and Mama Zhang didn't remind her, so she got up early today to learn.
Your Highness, it's better to study again at night, it's easy to be contaminated with fireworks when cooking, and I'm going to go to the banquet later, I'm afraid it's not good. ”
Mama Zhang was a little embarrassed, feeling that doing this would have an impact on Murong Hui's identity.
"It's okay, just smoke some spices later."
It just so happened that Zhao Yu came back a few days ago and brought some folk spices to her, the taste was very light, but it was fresh and refined, and Murong Hui liked it very much.
Seeing that Murong Hui was so persistent, Mama Zhang had no choice but to respond and follow Murong Hui into the small kitchen.
As soon as the two of them made a plate of sweet soup fish, they saw that Mama Huang also brought back breakfast.
Murong Hui sat on the table while smoking incense and eating some breakfast, feeling that today's cooking skills have indeed improved.
"Your Highness, the old slave is invited to come over."
Not long after, a grandmother walked in, saluted Murong Hui, and said politely.
"You go back first, I'll go over after I change my clothes."
Putting down the chopsticks, Murong Hui got up and said.
The grandmother answered, and respectfully withdrew.
"The dishes I will get back from the imperial dining room in the future will have to be hot, they will be a little cold."
Mama Zhang sighed, she knew that it must be those people in the imperial dining room who deliberately neglected Murong Hui.
"Yes, but it's going to take more carbon, is carbon enough?"
After changing her clothes, Murong Hui thought for a moment and asked.
"If it's not enough, the old slave will buy some more, and if some dare to snub you, the old slave will tell the queen mother about this matter, and let the queen mother clean up these little hooves."
Mama Huang naturally knows that carbon is not enough, and there are only two baskets of silver carbon left, and this winter is only half over, and carbon is definitely not enough.
It's just such an annoying thing, she doesn't want to tell Murong Hui at all.
"You don't have to trouble the queen mother for such a trivial matter, if the carbon is not enough, you can go to the Internal Affairs Office to buy it, if the head of Qi dares to open his mouth, I have my own way to make him feel bad."
Murong Hui is not really a soft persimmon, but she is too lazy to care about many things.
Mama Huang breathed a sigh of relief, so she answered, helped Murong Hui and walked towards Fengyi Palace.
Lin Yingxue had already freshened up and dressed up, and when she saw Murong Hui coming over to take a look at the time, she beckoned Murong Hui to sit next to her and wait for a while.
The two chatted for a moment before getting up and hurrying towards the palace where the envoys were feasting.
By the time they arrived, most of them had already arrived.
"Princess Linghui, I also have to take the New Year's exam today, why don't we compare the end of the exam again?"
Although she said the words of interrogation, her tone was indeed unquestionable, obviously intending to force Murong Hui to agree to the gambling contract.
"What do you want to compare?"
Seeing her so provocative, Murong Hui was not surprised at all, and asked indifferently.
"Compare the rhythm."
Princess Cai Na didn't have much confidence in other things, but when it came to her talent for music, she boasted that she was excellent, so she was extra confident this time.
"Auntie, what do you think?"
Although music is not Murong Hui's strongest subject, her father Murong Jing likes elegant things the most.
For example, playing with flowers and plants, such as chanting poems, music painting, etc., she has a little more comprehension when she is exposed to it.
"Princess Cai Na can compete with Hui'er if she wants to, but whether she wins or loses, this is the last time, can you agree?"
Lin Yingxue raised her eyebrows lightly and stared at her with a majestic expression.
