Chapter 20: Concubine Xi (1)
Concubine Xi, Han Jinxiu muttered in her heart, and then she stood up and said, "Just check the entry and exit records of the palace people in Concubine Xi's palace." ”
Lin Botao: "......" is not a suspicion, but just a question? Then why is it targeting Concubine Xi now?
Han Jinxiu didn't care about explaining to Lin Botao, he just needed to do this.
Soon night fell, today was March 15, and it stands to reason that the prince should rest in the princess's bedroom. Lin Botao had already left under the urging of Han Jinxiu, but she still stayed, and there was no sign of leaving.
An Mei and Anxin winked at each other, urging each other to persuade Han Jinxiu to return to the palace, this is the case, the prince is afraid that it is coming, and they really have to go back. An Mei sighed, knowing that peace of mind was unreliable, she took the initiative to step forward and leaned over to urge: "Crown princess, it's not too early, we should go back to the palace." ”
Anxin echoed: "That's it, Crown Princess, it's not early today, Your Highness ...... him."
was glared at fiercely by An Mei, and Anxin didn't dare to continue speaking.
Han Jinxiu was surprised: "What's wrong with Your Highness?" Isn't he coming? "Why didn't you listen to these two girls remind her in advance?
Knowing that today was the fifteenth, Han Jinxiu quickly put down the brush and the record book in his hand, and said to the two: "Let's go!" "She's going to meet the prince.
Ah Jiu proudly stuck out his tongue at Ah Yan, hum, let him be proud, the prince is going to the princess's bedroom now, and no one can stop him.
Ah Yan stretched out his hand and pinched Ah Jiu, and said fiercely: "You have long eyes, don't always be stupid!" ”
"Hmph, you're stupid, I'm not stupid!" Ah Jiu raised his head, like a proud peacock, and left behind the prince with a majestic spirit after speaking.
Ah Yan laughed angrily, he is a fool.
The fifteenth prince must come to the princess's dormitory, this is a rule set by the ancestors, and no one can violate it. Even His Majesty must be in Empress Chen's dormitory on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
As soon as he returned to the palace, Han Jinxiu instructed the palace people to hurry up and prepare for dinner, ready to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince. An Mei was distressed to beat Han Jinxiu's back, others don't know these days, she knows very clearly, Han Jinxiu is very tired, I just hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can understand the princess's hard work as soon as possible and love the princess more.
At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked in with Ah Jiu and Ah Yan, and An Mei helped Han Jinxiu to get up quickly and go to salute the prince.
After some greetings, the two sat down at the table to eat, and neither of them took the initiative to speak. Han Jinxiu is tired, the prince is unwilling, which makes Han Jinxiu's heart sink slightly, with Ah Jiu here, it is not easy to say a lot of words, it's okay, it's not too late to mention it when the two of them are alone. It's not that the prince didn't give Han Jinxiu the slightest chance to speak, but after Han Jinxiu bathed, sleepiness gradually came, breaking her plan to wait for the prince to come out to talk.
The prince glanced at Han Jinxiu beside him, half on his side, his eyes were closed, his long curly eyelashes covered his cheeks, his snort was shallow, and he was obviously sleeping deeply. He lay down slowly beside her, covered with a thin futon, closed his eyes, and fell asleep for a long time.
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Han Jinxiu opened his eyes, he turned to look at him and found that the prince was gone. Summoned An Mei, only to learn that it had been half an hour since the prince left, she stroked her forehead in annoyance, she was so tired these days that she fell asleep as soon as she got into bed. Yesterday on March 15, the prince came to her bedroom again and was afraid to wait until the first day of the fourth month, thinking of this, Han Jinxiu lay on the bed again, pulled up the futon and covered her head.
An Mei was slightly stunned, what's wrong with the crown princess?
After a long time, Han Jinxiu opened the futon and ordered: "Go and prepare breakfast, let Anxin come in and dress up the palace." "She still has to go to the place where Jinyiwei handled the case, and close the case as soon as possible, so that she can give an explanation to the prince.
After breakfast, Han Jinxiu took An Mei and Anxin to find Lin Botao and continue to investigate the case. On the way, I met King Zhan, who was wearing a beautiful blue shirt, a dark blue dragon and phoenix belt tied around his waist, black hair, a pair of indifferent tiger eyes, and a straight figure.
An Mei and Anxin saluted King Zhan, the two of them must have taken a few steps back in the past, and let Han Jinxiu talk to King Zhan alone, but now it is different, the two of them can see that Han Jinxiu is very cold to King Zhan, but he is concerned about His Royal Highness the Prince. Especially when King Zhan left on the front foot, Han Jinxiu ordered to strengthen the vigilance of the dormitory, in order to prevent King Zhan from appearing again.
King Zhan's eyes were slightly gloomy, he couldn't enter Han Jinxiu's bedroom at night, if he wanted to talk to her, he could only use this way, how could the two palace maids go back and not retreat?
Han Jinxiu took the initiative to speak: "If the fourth emperor brother has nothing else to do, this palace will take the first step." ”
"Princess, wait, what you promised, isn't it a noble person who forgets things?" King Zhan took a few steps forward, leaning close to Han Jinxiu, and a trace of coldness flashed in his quiet eyes.
It was Han Jinxiu's turn to speak: "Fourth Emperor Brother, many times the palace is also involuntarily, I hope you can understand, okay, the palace still has something to do, so take the first step." ”
Hearing this, King Zhan's body shook suddenly, she said it rightly, he gritted his teeth in anger, and he couldn't wait to pull her into his arms and beat her hard to relieve his anger. Seeing the back of Han Jinxiu leaving, it took a long time for King Zhan to come back to his senses, brushed his sleeve robe and strode away.
When Lin Botao arrived, she found that Han Jinxiu was sitting dignified investigating the case, and when she saw him coming, she raised her head and bowed her head slightly, which was regarded as a greeting, and then she lowered her head and carefully examined the scroll in her hand. The records of the two of them in the palace were checked, and the Jinyi Wei outside the palace also sent people to investigate the shops.
His Majesty bent his knuckles to tap the bookcase, the fold in his hand was thrown aside, and he raised his head to look at Han Jinxiu and Lin Botao, "What you two said is true?" ”
Han Jinxiu took the initiative to lean over and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the retainers don't dare to speak falsely." ”
Lin Botao bowed: "Weichen's sentence is true. ”
"A good one doesn't dare to say anything, and a good one is true. Come on, go and invite Concubine Xi! His Majesty's face was slightly gloomy, and his tone was solemn.
Empress Chen handed the post in her hand to the third princess, and said softly: "This is the invitation to the flower viewing banquet in the Chengguo Mansion for a few days, you can take it." I heard that this time, the Chengguo Mansion invited many outstanding children of famous families and ladies in the capital, and I am afraid that I will have to achieve several pairs of relatives at that time. You also look at each other, if there is a suitable one, come back and tell the queen mother, let the queen mother give you the palm of your hand, check the check. ”
Who knew that the third princess didn't appreciate it at all, she shook her hand and threw the invitation handed to her by Queen Chen on the ground, pouted: "Queen Mother, you don't know, Erchen likes Dali Siqing, why do you still force Erchen to look at other people?" She just likes Wang Yaolin, and she will not marry him in this life.
Raising his hand was a slap on the head of the third princess, and Queen Chen said angrily: "Anyone can do it, but Dali Siqing can't, how can he, a person from a poor family, be worthy of His Majesty's concubine?" "In the eyes of Empress Chen, Wang Yaolin was born in a poor family, and he was able to sit in the position of Dali Temple, which was quite favored by His Majesty, and he must be a deep-minded person, how could such a person really like the third princess, I am afraid that he is a hypocrite who clings to power.
