Chapter 130: Slapping (I)

On the birthday of a hundred flowers, the spring is back, the weather is getting warmer, and the winter clothes are removed.

Shao Meiren has always liked to make some flowers and plants in the house, she heard that most of the flowers in Hualin Garden were blooming, and she carried the female Shi Jiang beads next to her, and came to cut flowers with bamboo baskets and scissors.

Unfortunately, Concubine Xie also came to Hualin Garden, she also wanted to enjoy the flowers, but she saw that every flower in the flower garden had a cut branch, and there was a neat cut on the branch without exception.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this does not affect the appearance, but Xie Guifei is a flawless person, she knew that someone had cut the flower, and suddenly had a belly of fire, and reprimanded: "Which cheap dog thing cut this flower!" ”

At that time, Shao Meiren was still squatting in front, holding scissors and cutting a camellia, and when she came to this fashion and didn't know that Xie Guifei was coming, she didn't hear Xie Guifei scolding.

It wasn't until Concubine Xie took a few steps forward that she saw Shao Meiren and Jiang Nushi squatting in front, and the master and servant were facing away from her, and she didn't recognize who it was for a while.

"Who's there!" Concubine Xie said with annoyance.

Shao Meiren glanced back, and when she saw that it was Xie Guifei, she was shocked, and quickly stood up, and then knelt down to Xie Guifei and saluted, and said in a panic: "The concubine doesn't know that the mother is coming, the concubine should die." ”

Xie Guifei saw that the bamboo basket beside her was full of fresh and delicate flowers, and she was angry, she put on a face and said, "These flowers are blooming well, why did you cut them?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the concubine wants to cut flowers to ......"

Without waiting for Shao Meiren to explain, Concubine Xie snatched her words again, and asked coldly: "Shao, where are you from?" ”

Hearing Xie Guifei ask about this, Shao Meiren was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The concubine is from Yuezhou." ”

"Yuezhou Shao's Clan?" Concubine Xie pretended to think about it, and then deliberately humiliated Shao Meiren and said, "Why has this palace never heard of this family?" ”

Poor Shao Meiren originally thought that Concubine Xie was caring about her, but when she heard this, she realized that Concubine Xie didn't have any good intentions at all!

"The concubine was born in a small family, not a scholar, and ...... It's not a Shu ......" After Shao Meiren finished answering, Concubine Xie then asked: "I heard in this palace that you were the concubine of Emperor Shun Liu Zhun of the previous dynasty, but is it true?" ”

"Yes......" Shao Meiren expected that Concubine Xie would definitely humiliate her again, and then she heard Concubine Xie sneer, and said contemptuously: "You are not only from a low background, but also a remnant of the previous dynasty, this delicate flower is naturally not a good match for you." ”

Concubine Xie said, picked up the bamboo basket on the side, and mercilessly poured all the flowers on the ground, and then stretched out her finger and pointed to the grass growing in the cracks, and then said: "Look at the palace, those weeds match you." ”

Shao Meiren lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

Xie Guifei then sneered again, and stepped on the delicate flowers sprinkled all over the ground and left.

When Xie Guifei and his party walked away, Jiang Nushi hurriedly stood up, took Shao Meiren's arm, and wanted to help her up, while comforting: "Xie Guifei has a poisonous mouth and a ruthless heart, what she said, the beauty should not go to her heart." ”

But Sao Meiren couldn't afford to kneel, she looked sideways at the weeds in the cracks, and said to herself: "She's right, a lowly person like me is only matched with weeds." ”

After she finished speaking, she crawled to the weeds, and then personally dug out the weeds with her hands, and did not listen to Jiang Nushi's persuasion.

Shao Meiren held the weeds and said meaningfully: "Those flowers are so delicate that they will die if they are not careful, but the weeds are different." ”

Concubine Xie Guifei was defeated by Shao Meiren, so she wanted to leave Hualin Garden and go back to Hanzhang Palace, but when she walked out of Fengzhuang Gate, she saw Xiao Ying looking for her.

Xiao Ying called: "Mother! The only sons went to Hanzhang Hall and heard them say that you were enjoying the flowers in Hualin Garden, and the sons came to you. ”

In the past, Xiao Ying came to greet Xie Guifei around the morning court, but today's hour has passed, but he came here, Xie Guifei asked: "Come here at this time, but what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Ying was coquettish, walked over and grabbed Xie Guifei's arm, and said, "The mother concubine asked Erchen to send someone to keep an eye on Shen Wenhe a few days ago, and Erchen is here to return to his life today. ”

"Oh?" Concubine Xie was interested again, so she smiled and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"The people sent out by Erchen said that in the past few days, I have always seen Shen Wenhe go to the Hou Mansion of Yongxiu County and entangle with Xie Zheng, as for the fifth child, I haven't seen him interact with Shen Wenhe, so Erchen guessed that Shen Wenhe and Xie Zheng, the two of them just had a lot of private contacts, not that the fifth and the prince joined forces."

Xiao Ying has a decent analysis, Xie Guifei is half-convinced, her son, what kind of mind is it, she couldn't be clearer, he said that Xiao Ye did not join forces with Xiao Zhen, he wanted to believe it but didn't dare to believe it.

She didn't want to hit Xiao Ying's confidence again and again, so she smiled and said, "Okay, the mother concubine knows, good son, you go to the palace to accompany your father." ”

"Yes, Erchen will go," Xiao Ying saluted, turned around and left.

Since the last rescue, Xiao Daocheng has seen Xiao Ying much more pleasing to the eye, although he still doesn't feel at ease to give him some heavy tasks, at least he doesn't dislike him anymore, this road has to be taken step by step.

"Shao Yan, send someone to invite Princess Yixing to come over."

"Yes."

Since Xiao Daocheng became emperor, Xiao Yifu and Xie Guifei have never had any contact, at most, they bent down to salute her when they met, and when they met again, they were either at which banquet or at what ceremony, and the two had never met alone.

When the news reached the princess's mansion, Xiao Yifu, who was eating dinner, was startled, she was holding the beef soup in one hand, scooping a spoonful with a spoon in the other hand and sending it to her mouth, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Concubine Xie? It's good, what does she ask this palace to do? ”

She is a person who holds grudges, and she still remembers that Xie Guifei sent the cook to trick her with her rotten corpse heart.

Liu Nushi stood beside and waited, shook her head, and replied: "The message sent by someone from her palace didn't say anything, just said that she would invite the princess to go to Hanzhang Palace." ”

Xiao Yifu threw the spoon into the unfinished soup, and the maid with the tray on the side hurriedly came up, lowered her head, bent over, and only stretched the tray over, and Xiao Yifu then put the soup bowl on the tray.

"This palace wants to see what kind of medicine she sells in this gourd!" Xiao Yifu said, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then got up and walked out.

Xiao Yifu rushed to Hanzhang Palace, and saw Xie Guifei sitting in front of the coffee table, enjoying the tea, so she bowed and saluted, straightened up and asked: "Your concubine Niangniang called her son, but what's the matter?" ”

Concubine Xie first pointed to the soft seat opposite, motioned for Xiao Yifu to sit down, and then spoke: "It's nothing, I just want to ask the princess, how is the relationship with Shen Yuma?" ”

After Xiao Yifu sat down, when he heard this, he sneered and said: "Erchen and the concubine have a very strong relationship, what does this have to do with Niangniang?" ”

She believed that Xiao Daocheng was preferred, never took Xie Guifei in her eyes, and showed her edge when she spoke.

Concubine Xie also laughed, "Why is it irrelevant?" The princess's current colt used to be the niece and son-in-law of the palace. ”

"So what? Not to mention that your niece is no longer alive now, even if she is still alive, she will have already been taken away by the concubine," Xiao Yifu said this, suddenly sneered, and said sarcastically: "Is it possible, Niangniang still wants to dig up her bones and marry with the concubine?" ”

After she finished speaking, she laughed unscrupulously, Xie Guifei saw that she was rude, and only scolded two sentences in her heart, but there was still a slight smile on her face, she said lightly: "Hasn't the princess seen the county lord of Shanyin, Xie Zheng?" ”

As soon as she heard Xie Zheng, Xiao Yifu's face suddenly changed, she pulled down her face, like a debt collector, as if Concubine Xie owed her money, "What if you see it?" What if you haven't seen it? After she finished speaking, she picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

Concubine Xie sneered: "It seems that the princess doesn't know that your concubine has been stealing outside behind your back these days." ”

"What did you say?" Xiao Yifu was really stunned, she rolled her eyes, and thought that Xie Guifei had mentioned Xie Zheng at the right time, could it be ......

She looked incredulous, and she couldn't believe that Shen Wenhe was stealing from Xie Zheng behind her back, in other words, Shen Wenhe could steal anyone, but he couldn't steal Xie Zheng!

"What do you mean...... But Xie Zheng? Xiao Yifu's eyes were like torches, and a trace of fierceness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Xie Guifei caught the change in her eyes, and a hint of joy came to her heart, Xiao Yifu didn't know that Shen Wenhe had a close relationship with Xie Zheng, it seemed that this matter really had nothing to do with Xiao Ye and the prince, it was really just that the two of them got close in private.

"The princess is so naΓ―ve, who else can he be infatuated with except the man who looks like his dead wife?" Concubine Xie smiled at the corner of her mouth, she introduced Xiao Yifu into her trap step by step, and she just wanted to use her to deal with Shen Wenhe and Xie Zheng, and if she could use her brain, she would never do it.

Xiao Yifu was so angry that her face turned pale, and she didn't care that this was in front of Xie Guifei, so she actually slapped the table and shook her face.

She got up and left without saying a word.

Seeing that Xiao Yifu was gone, He Nushi called Xie Guifei lightly: "Niangniang." ”

Concubine Xie was smug and said with a smile: "If the palace can't clean it up, someone will clean it up." ”

The wound on Yuzhi's face has healed, but as Tao Hongjing said, the scar has been removed, but a long black mark has been left on his cheek.

The mirrors in her room were removed by herself, and even when she entered Xie Zheng's room, she avoided the mirror everywhere, and Xie Zheng felt distressed every time she saw the marks on her face.

In the courtyard where Xie Zheng lived, there was a well in front of it, Yuzhi stood in front of the well, threw the bucket down, and hit a bucket of water, but inadvertently saw her face in the reflection in the water, she put the bucket on the edge of the well, holding it with one hand, and touching her cheek with the other.

At that time, Xie Zheng happened to come out of the room, and he saw Yuzhi's move, Xie Zheng stood at the door, and when he saw Yuzhi frowning, she also frowned, and when she saw Yuzhi sad, she was also sad.

She knew who sent someone to assassinate Shen Wenhe that day, it was nothing more than Xie Guifei and Xiao Ying's mother and son, Xie Zheng had already regarded Xie Guifei as an enemy, and after this incident, he wanted to get rid of her even more.

It's hateful that she can't deal with Concubine Xie, and now that it's over, I'm afraid I'll have to use Shen Wenhe again.

"Jade Branch!" Xie Zheng called lightly, Yuzhi was startled, and overturned the bucket, but fortunately, the bucket was overturned into the well, but Yuzhi's clothes were not wet.

"Lady," Yuzhi walked towards Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng also approached her, and she said, "You accompany me to the Confucian Teahouse, I have something to ask Shen Wenhe to meet." ”

Yuzhi didn't nod for the first time, nor did he agree, but said: "It's cold in the morning and evening, the lady is wearing a dress," After speaking, he walked into the house quickly, took Xie Zheng's cloak, folded one, and then hung it on his arm, and then followed Xie Zheng out.

The two rushed to the Confucian teahouse, at this time Kong Xiuzhi was in the teahouse, but he didn't know that Xie Zheng was here, so he came out to greet the little guy in the teahouse, and the little guy took the two of them in, and immediately went to call Kong Xiuzhi to come, but Xie Zheng pulled him and said: "I'm here to drink tea, I'll leave in a moment, don't alarm your master." ”

The little guy nodded in agreement, and Xie Zheng then said, "There is something to trouble you." ”

"County lord, please say," the little guy followed Xie Zheng inside, Xie Zheng stopped when he walked to the staircase, and said to the little guy: "You have to go to the Hussar General's Mansion to spread a word, please Shen Shilang come over, and say that I have something important to look for him, but don't alarm his father." ”

The little guy rolled his eyes, as if he was thinking, and then responded: "Okay, you go up and wait, the villain will go and ask Shen Shilang to come over." ”

Shen Wenhe was practicing the kung fu of copying in the study, and suddenly heard the porter coming to report and said: "Lang Jun, there is a little guy outside, claiming to be from the Confucian Teahouse, saying that a lady invited you to come over for tea." ”

Shen Wenhe, who was practicing calligraphy, heard that it was a lady who invited him, and his hand holding Mao Ying suddenly froze, "Lady? ”

Which lady is it? I'm afraid that Mrs. Lu didn't know his identity and found it here?

Since the last farewell, Shen Wenhe has not been to the west of the city for a few days, and he has learned that Lu Daixin is pregnant, so he will never dare to play with her anymore.

He was now like a frightened bird, and said, "Quick...... Tell him to come and talk! ”

The little guy followed the porter to Shen Wenhe's study, and at this time, Shen Wenhe had no intention of practicing calligraphy again, so he just sat in front of the bookcase and waited anxiously.

Seeing the little maid coming in, he hurriedly asked, "You just said, which lady invited me?" ”

At the gate of the mansion, the little guy was afraid that Xie Zheng invited Shen Wenhe to go to the teahouse, which would alarm Shen Yuzhi, but now when he saw Shen Wenhe, he dared to say it, and he replied: "The villain was ordered by the county lord of Shanyin to come and invite Shen Shilang." ”

Hearing that it was Xie Zheng, not Lu Daixin, Shen Wenhe finally breathed a sigh of relief, his sad face disappeared, replaced by a smile, and he asked again: "What did she ask me to do?" ”

The little guy said: "The villain is just here to deliver a message, how do you know the mind of the county lord of Shanyin, Shen Shilang, you can go over quickly." ”

"Okay," Shen Wenhe put on his sword clothes, and followed the little servant.

At this time, Xiao Yifu also rushed to the general's mansion, Shen Wenhe walked for about an hour of incense, she arrived here, she rushed to Shen Wenhe's study with great momentum, and found Shen Wenhe's house, looked around but didn't see anyone, so she scolded: "Shen Wenhe!" You shit day, you get out of here! Get out! ”

The maids and servants present were all frightened and stayed away, Xiao Yifu scolded more than a dozen sentences, but still didn't see Shen Wenhe, so he turned back to the door of the house and asked about the concierge, she still looked fierce, "What about Shen Wenhe!" Tell Shen Wenhe to get out! ”

The porter was frightened, looked at each other, and only replied: "Gong...... Princess, Lang Jun...... Lang Jun just went out, and he is not in the house......"

Xiao Yifu frowned, "Where is he hiding!" ”

"Say yes...... said I went to the Confucian Teahouse......"
