027 Selling personal favors
Soon it was night.
The night in the mountains is exceptionally quiet, and you can occasionally hear the cries of insects and frogs.
Unlike the heat and humidity of Anseong, the nights here are especially pleasant.
Xia Xue took a hot bath and prepared to go to bed, and Chu Zhenxuan came back.
"Husband is hard."
Chu Zhenxuan pulled the corners of his mouth, nodded, and then walked like the main room.
Do --- want to tell him?
Chu Zhenxuan paused.
---Forget it, he is so close to Concubine Rong, who knows what role he plays?
Chu Zhenxuan: ......
Chu Zhenxuan: How do you know that your eyes see that your true appearance is intimate with Concubine Rong?
Chu Zhenxuan: The Li family is now screwed together with Prince Lu, yes, you still contributed to it, so the emperor and the Li and Lu families must have a battle, how can the prime minister get close to Concubine Rong again?
Chu Zhenxuan: And before, Concubine Rong really wanted to win over the prime minister, but the prime minister kept refusing.
Chu Zhenxuan shook his head, forget it, don't let this little woman know about these things, Xia Xue already had a strange idea, and if she knew, she might cause something wrong.
--- shook his head and shook his head, I don't know what kind of crooked idea I have!
Chu Zhenxuan: !!
Chu Zhenxuan: +40.
He stepped into the main room.
At this time, Xia Lu returned.
"How's it going?"
"I've already sent the rabbit and feed, and if I brought my sister, I'll bring it too." Xia Lu's eyes were red.
"Okay, let's go and rest."
Xia Lu nodded and went back to the room sullenly.
Xia Xue looked at her back and sighed.
If this girl knew that the rabbit she raised could make her sell Concubine Ying a big favor, she would definitely not be so sad again.
Yes, it's Concubine Ying.
Fu Yuqing told her that Li Tingting and two strange women were all in the meal group as Concubine Ying's small kitchen, Concubine Ying's nurse was greedy for money, and casually invited a few cheap cooks to take her on the road, but she was passive during the break, and a cook found Fu Yuqing when she was relieved, Fu Yuqing turned her head and smashed the little chef for self-protection, and changed into her clothes and put on a thin veil.
So Xia Yuqing sent rabbits and poisonous food, if Concubine Ying could understand what she meant, this concubine would be very indebted.
Concubine Rong is having supper with Li Tingting.
At this time, the next person came to report.
"Things are going well, everything is working as usual."
"Is there anything special going on?"
"Mrs. Chu Xiang sent someone to send a rabbit to Concubine Ying."
"Rabbit?"
Concubine Rong laughed, didn't Mrs. Chu think Concubine Ying was like a rabbit?
"Even if it is, Xia Xue doesn't dare to sarcastically mock Concubine Ying directly, right?" Li Tingting said indignantly.
"That girl was spoiled by the Xia family, she didn't open the door when she spoke, what don't you dare, you have nothing to provoke her." Concubine Rong said.
"How many times has my sister been bullied by her, so why don't you ---- this time"
"No! Expanding your attack surface will only make you more dangerous, and the more you do, the easier it will be to leave a handle. ”
Li Tingting pouted and nodded helplessly.
"Concubine Ying is down, your sister has become the imperial concubine, who do you want to seek revenge with when the time comes? It's all justifiable, and you can do it as you want! ”
As soon as she heard Concubine Rong say this, Li Tingting was in a good mood instantly, and stepped forward to hug Concubine Rong's arm, "I know that my sister is the best." ”
On the other side, Concubine Ying was holding the grass and happily teasing the rabbit.
"This palace usually has no contact with the Chu family and the Xia family, and Mrs. Chu actually sent two rabbits to this palace."
"Mrs. Chu, do you think that you are like a rabbit fairy, clear and beautiful?"
"Moreover, Mrs. Chu asked her sister-in-law to send it in person, is there a gesture of goodwill to her mother?"
Concubine Ying was stunned for a moment.
Gestures?
I heard that Mrs. Chu is a powerful person, and with the Xia family and the Chu family in the court, there is no need for Mrs. Chu to show favor to her.
If it wasn't a gesture of goodwill, wouldn't it be---
Warning???
"What did the person who gave the rabbit say?" Concubine Ying asked.
"She said that there is rations for rabbits here, and domestic rabbits are picky and want to eat their own food." The maid replied.
Another maid hurriedly added.
Then the slave and maid asked, "With such little food, how many times can I eat it?" ”
She replied, "That's enough, rabbits eat too much and will bite, especially if they are used to eating their own food." ”
The slave maid thought, this rabbit, is it possible to become a nobleman? So the slave went outside to get some grass, Niangniang, you see, isn't this also very good? ”
"Bring the rations she brought." Concubine Ying's face changed instantly.
The maid was a little confused and hurried to get it.
The private bag was opened, and there was only one piece of grass.
"Hey."
The maid was busy sending it to the cage.
The rabbit in front happily ate it, just halfway through it.
Suddenly he snorted a few times, and then lay down, foaming at the mouth.
The other rabbit scratched its cage as if frightened.
"How so?" The maid exclaimed.
"This Mrs. Chu is too presumptuous, let's go tell the emperor."
"You two, now quietly go back to our room to check our salute to see if anyone has put anything unclean, and then carefully check our room." Concubine Ying frowned and said, "The action must be light." ”
The maid didn't understand either, but looking at Concubine Ying's face, she must know that it was not a good thing.
After checking around, it was already late at night.
Two maids came to report, no problem.
Concubine Ying banged on the table with her hand, "Rabbits --- poisoned --- their own food." ”
"Your own food, your own food."
"A rabbit that eats its own food bites?"
"What does Mrs. Chu mean exactly?"
Suddenly, Concubine Ying's eyes lit up.
"Kitchenette ???"
Early the next morning, as soon as the meal team brought breakfast, Fu Yuqing, dressed in men's clothes, appeared in front of Xia Xue.
Xia Xue raised her eyebrows, "Aren't you reluctant to come back?" ”
Fu Qingyu smiled: "If you don't come back, your life will be gone." ”
Fu Yuqing began to shhhhh
Early in the morning, Concubine Ying said that the food cooked in the small kitchen in the past few days was particularly to her appetite, and asked a few of their cooks to make breakfast for her and the emperor.
When Li Tingting heard this, she was so frightened that her pants fell off, and she said that she would change her clothes and go.
As a result, after waiting for a stick of incense, there was no one, there was no dining room, there was no thatched house, and Bacheng hid.
I also took the opportunity to run away.
"Just run away. Just stay honest these days, don't let people recognize you. Xia Xue scooped up a mouthful of porridge.
"Concubine Rong will definitely find a replacement for the dead ghost, it depends on who she finds."
Fu Yuqing was also a little afraid, she should have listened to Xia Xue last night, and she wouldn't go back to the dining room, she still thought that she could find out some more news, so she came out in the morning.
"Could it be that Concubine Ying noticed?"
"It's normal to be aware of it, Concubine Ying, as a person with no family background at all, can climb to today's position and still stand, so she naturally has her advantages." Xia Xue took a bite of the coconut cake and continued, "If you must enter the palace, relying on Concubine Ying is also a good choice. ”
This sentence was said to Xia Lu.
Dating this girl these days, Xia Xue feels that Xia Lu herself wants to enter the palace more, now that Xia Lu has grown up, she is no longer the little white rabbit that she used to knead, if she insists on entering the palace, she will rely on Concubine Ying, one by family background, one by brain, and there will not be too many conflicts.
Xia Lu nodded, a blush on her pretty face.
