Chapter Fifty-Six: Rumors Spread

At noon, the sound of cicadas chirping.

At the beginning of July, the sun was still vicious as if it was going to roast the earth, and the precious flowers and plants of the palace were shriveled up like wild flowers.

This hot summer tired them from sweating, and their fair skin was sunburned a few degrees, and some people were indignant in their hearts.

"This medicine girl is really going to make people call, she hides in it and can't come out, but let us fetch her such a heavy thing."

As they walked and talked, they were a little out of breath, but they still couldn't stop the mouth that wanted to complain.

"What healer? Don't you know yet? This is Princess Qin's niece. A little maid wearing a saffron corrected.

Saying this, another little maid with a double whip remembered: "But the one who was rejected by the Shen Mansion in public last month?" ”

"Who else but her? Yesterday, I heard what Mama Zhang said in the kitchen, and now it is spread all over the outside, this Miss Yan was rejected by the Shen Mansion, and seeing that there was no hope of marrying into the Zhongshu Mansion, she stayed in our palace every day, sticking to our prince. The prince is a person who does not refuse to come, isn't it just right? It's just that this Miss Yan is so spineless, she is a relative of the Qin Palace, and she has been reduced to the same as those ladies and geishas. The woman with saffron could lower her voice, squeezed her eyebrows and continued, "You don't know, that day, the prince recruited two ladies of Qianyu and Qianyan to serve, this Miss Yan knew, and she was so jealous that she beat the two ladies all over her body, and then she really won the favor of the prince, and the prince was alone with her for a while." ”

"Oh my God! She was so vicious. ”

A sharp-faced girl who didn't say a word from beginning to end said disdainfully: "You know too little, she has more powerful means." ”

"What? What the? Say it. When the girls heard this, they all gossiped, and even forgot about the ice, so they simply stopped and surrounded the sharp-faced girl, waiting for her to reveal the shocking secret.

"I have a sister who runs an errand in the palace, and she saw with her own eyes that one morning, that Miss Yan came out of the green room." The sharp-faced girl pretended to be mysterious and said, "I'm afraid you don't know in the other courtyard, this green room is a forbidden place in the palace, except for the prince and his friend Yegongzi, no one can enter, and even the guards have to listen outside." ”

The maid wearing the saffron pouted unconvinced when she heard her tone, and said as if she was serving in the palace, and everyone was just a maid from another courtyard.

"Tut-tut...... She really has some means. The pigtailed maid couldn't help but sigh.

“……”

These maids talked very well with each other, but they didn't notice that they were standing outside the pharmacy, the doors and windows were open, and the content of their chats had already reached the ears of the people in the house.

Xiyan's face was pale, and he had to break off the herbs with a "snap", and he got up to go out to reason with them. Imperial Physician Wei on the side pressed her back to sit on the stool, and staggered out the door.

"Why hasn't the ice been delivered yet?" Imperial Physician Wei looked nervous and very anxious.

The girls looked at the ice in their buckets in a panic as if they had just woken up from a dream, and where was there any ice, but a few pieces of ice slag floating on a bucket of water. They panicked and knelt down to plead guilty.

"Slaves and maids should die, slaves and maids should be damned, slaves and maids are slow on their feet, and the ice is all sunburned."
