Chapter 146: A Fog
Things have developed so far, and they are not quite the same as Kang Yufei's plan. She tried her best to enter the palace, just to help get close to the emperor without borrowing any connections, and then be able to confide in the emperor face-to-face about the grievances of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
This sounds like a rather troublesome and tortuous approach, but Kang Yufei has his own plans. First, no matter who helps the emperor to meet, her sinful body will drag that person into this muddy water, which she does not want. Second, she faintly felt that there was another secret in this matter, if she told the emperor in person, she was afraid that as soon as she showed up and spoke, there would be no place for the matter to turn around, she wanted to explore from the side and find another perfect opportunity.
Thousands of calculations, but I didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly be in the sky. The previous plans and preparations turned into a pile of bubbles and went west with the emperor.
She rubbed her face and slapped her face a few more times. But you have to be sober and think about other ways, my father and brothers are still living next to each other in the bitter land in the south, and they can't be confused here.
As usual, the crown prince is about to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, and he can only overturn the case for the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Prince Tian Jinglin, Kang Yufei had no impression of him, only listened to a few gossips from his father and eldest brother at the dinner table. said that he had no mother since he was a child, and he didn't like the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and his life was uneasy, coupled with the emperor's extraordinarily strict treatment of him, he raised his temperament to be quiet and uncertain, and he may be a difficult master to get along with in the future.
She believes in the judgment of her father and eldest brother, so she doesn't plan to rashly start with the prince, if she can find someone to find out the prince's mind, it is naturally the best, if not, then she can only return to the original last resort, and ask the prince to come forward to protect it.
The noise outside disturbed her thoughts, and she got up to find that Aunt Liao had left, and it was bright outside. She got dressed, saw the colorful snacks on the table, grabbed and ate some randomly, and finally straightened her appearance and pushed the door open.
The outside was plain, which made her already not very good mood even worse. Not far away, a figure hurried by, and there was a faint sound of shouting floating by, she estimated that everyone should be preparing for the emperor's future.
She called out to a second-class palace maid who lived in the same room, "Sister Hongxia, what are you all busy with?" ”
This palace maid called Hongxia entered the palace two years earlier than Kang Yufei, and she is a smart and likable girl, although she is a second-class palace maid, she is already the steward of their room.
Seeing Kang Yufei out of the room, Hongxia put down the tools in her hand, hurriedly ran forward, and asked with concern, "Hey, why did you get up?" Don't come out and get cold, you need to rest more. ”
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, my body is not so weak, and it's not interesting to lie down, it's better to get up and move your muscles and bones."
Hongxia looked at her suspiciously for a while, probably to see that her complexion was really good, so she relieved, "It's okay, now that manpower is also tight, of course it's best to have your help." ”
Kang Yufei followed her, walked through the small courtyard of the residents, and walked in the direction of the flower garden, all the way was full of people, a busy scene. Walking to the open space in front of the main hall of the Hundred Gardens, there were many potted flowers around, and some young palace maids squatted in front of the flower pots, carefully fiddling with something.
When they walked in, there was a small bucket at their feet, with a white paste-like thing in it, and a brush in their hands, all of them were smearing the contents of the bucket on the petals.
Kang Yufei didn't know why, and looked at Hongxia, "Sister Hongxia, what are you doing?" ”
"Well, you're next to me." Hongxia pulled her to the side of a few pots of Phnom Penh Ruixiang and handed her a pair of gloves, "It's very simple, just apply this to the petals, cover the original color of the flower, and make it all white." ”
"All white?" Kang Yufei was a little surprised.
"yes, try to be as even as possible, don't make it too ugly." Hongxia turned her head and saw her surprised look, and couldn't help but shake her head, "There is no way, on the occasion of the great funeral, all palaces need white potted plants to decorate, but in this winter, where are there so many flowers for them." ”
"But this ......" Kang Yufei put on his gloves and picked up the brush to prepare to do things, "But this fake, aren't you afraid of annoying the masters?" ”
"Where can these colors be placed, and where to use the real ones, Aunt Liao has already figured out the doorway."
Hearing a few scoldings in the main hall, Jin Yinxiang led a few little eunuchs holding flower pots to come out, her face was yellow, her body was thin, she seemed to be very unenergetic, but there was a pair of big eyes open and round, looking a little terrifying.
She was at the door of the main hall, raised her hand, and several little eunuchs rushed out.
"Wait a minute." Aunt Liao's bright and beautiful voice came from afar, she was wearing plain clothes, without powder, revealing some haggard and tired, but her skin was delicate and there were few wrinkles, which made people unable to see her age at a glance, and only felt that the tiredness looked pitiful.
The little eunuchs stood still and bowed to Aunt Liao. Aunt Liao glanced at the flowers in their hands and asked Jin Yinxiang, "Where are these going?" ”
"All the ones are in good condition, the white camellia is sent to Concubine Mei Niangniang of Fanghua Palace, and the narcissus is sent to the East Palace." Jin Yinxiang explained.
Kang Yufei looked up, the white camellia flowers were blooming just right, fresh and natural, and the narcissus seemed to have just bloomed, a little shy.
"Change." Aunt Liao raised her fingers and pointed to the few people holding the narcissus, "You go to Fanghua Palace," and then pointed to the few people holding white camellias, "You go to the East Palace." ”
Jin Yinxiang looked at Aunt Liao with a puzzled face, but he didn't dare to say anything, and when the person was far away, he stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, why do you want to change?" ”
Aunt Liao pulled her to the corner of the wall, and happened to be standing near Kang Yufei, Kang Yufei pulled out her gloves and threw them in their direction, pretending to approach them inadvertently.
"The master of Fanghua Palace will be the concubine in a few days, and in a blink of an eye, she will have no status and no weight, why put the rare thing white camellia there for her, but the East Palace, although she is a side concubine, but the East Palace does not have the main mother, seeing that this harem is her main business, don't you know how to please it? I think you're a head of wood. ”
"But this surname is He, no taste and no appearance, and he will be able to jump in a few days, isn't this what you said?" Jin Yinxiang's sentence choked Aunt Liao, and her head was knocked hard.
"Wooden heads." Aunt Liao shook her head while scolding.
Kang Yufei returned to her place, a little dazed, she slowly put on her gloves and thought carefully.
Concubine Mei, the daughter of Yan Kailai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, she had seen her in the early years, her family and her family have always been good friends, and Lord Yan also worked hard for the affairs of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.
Originally, she wanted to ask Lord Yan and Concubine Mei for help, but she was worried that this muddy water would stain their dresses, so she never opened her mouth. Now, at this juncture where thousands of clues are not smooth, she is wondering if she can ask Concubine Mei, at least, the prince's attitude and habits should be able to figure out something.
