Chapter 57: Concubine Room (3)
Lan Yi looked at the forced smile on their faces, and couldn't help laughing, pointing at Wei Changjue and saying: "If you want to laugh, laugh, cooking for me, Your Highness and I can't learn it, look at Your Highness's face, doesn't it look like the black-faced Bao Gong on the stage?" ”
Wei Changjue glared at her, grabbed the person over, coughed, and said, "Today's events are not allowed to be spread outside, take care of your mouth, I have a reward." ”
Since beating Mama Wan and taking a beating, she came back after raising it and was much more silent than before, and the mothers-in-law in these palaces became more and more obedient, at this time, seeing that the lord's mother was so loving, generous to her subordinates, and could afford to joke, her heart was more stable, and she also made fun of it and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, we must keep our mouths shut tightly, and don't say a word, if anyone has the courage to poke this thing out, the slaves and maids don't need your orders, they will pounce on her mouth first." ”
"That is, dare to say that His Royal Highness and the princess, even if it is a man, the slaves and maids can cook her."
Such a market language sounded particularly interesting, Lan Yi smiled so much that he couldn't straighten up, pointed at Wei Changjue and said, "Look at it, the people in our mansion are more powerful than the other." ”
I was very happy one night, on the way back to the house, I saw the stars in the sky again, and I heard the chirping of summer insects in my ears, which can be said to be stable in the present world, but there are so many people in the palace, and there are not only a few mothers-in-law who are in charge, this Wei Changjue and Lan Yi want to cook, and finally return home, after all, it still spread.
This warm little thing made Miss Si Tong anxious, and even more unhappy the queen mother in the palace, she said: "Why is Changjue such a stable child running to the kitchen with his daughter-in-law to toss?" Ask, how can a big man cook? ”
Water chestnut aside, the queen's illness has not been very good recently, most of the time she is recuperating, hearing the words and persuading: "Why should the master care about this, the slave and maid looked at His Royal Highness several times with the princess to come over to ask for peace, and they all smiled sincerely, His Royal Highness has already put the princess in his heart, and he will cook together, what can be a big deal." ”
The queen pressed her head, there have been more and more dizziness recently, drinking medicine but it is not good, although she wants to take care of her son's house, but she can only say: "I see that Ying Guifei is there, in order for the four princes to be able to spread the branches and leaves early, and she mutters to her daughter-in-law, and now it seems that she has begun to find a good side concubine for the four princes, and I also have the heart to help Chang Jue pick the people in the house, but I don't have the mental strength, I'm afraid that in this matter, Ying Guifei will compete again." ”
Water chestnut felt sorry for her body, and her words were straightforward, "Slave maid, say something unpleasant, when did the concubine Niangniang not fight for this, the two sides do not deal with each other, and it is not in this matter, the main thing is that you have to take care of your body first, so as to help our Royal Highness keep an eye on these things in the palace, otherwise, nothing can be done." ”
The words are really not good, but the water chestnut is dedicated to herself, the queen knows very well in her heart, and when she touches her heart, there are tears in her eyes, "I always feel that God will not let me stay up for a few more years, this disease is becoming more and more uncomfortable, but I still can't even find the roots, maybe this is something that is beyond the reach of manpower." ”
Water chestnut is naturally sad, but it is indispensable to be relieved, "Why is the master so depressed, the days in King Gong's mansion are getting better and better, and when the princess gives birth to a little royal grandson, you will have to be busy, at that time, you will not have time to talk about these life and death." ”
The queen shook her head, and did not refute anything, she looked at the tree-lined scenery outside the window, it was obviously the most vibrant time of the year, but she felt as if she had a feeling, and she only felt desolate.
Let's say that Lan Yi here, because of the special identity of her mother-in-law, she does not need to be by her side all the time or go to stand early in the morning, and she has to enter the palace for a total of ten days a month to ask for peace, and often does not accompany the queen for a long time to serve medicine or sleep, and she is sent out of the palace, so she is very relaxed here. Now that the concubine's mind is floating, she has the energy to pay more attention to it, and she really heard some unusual news from Ning Fu.
However, these news can't explain anything, so in front of Miss Si and Miss Tong, she mainly ordered the two to serve the prince well and serve this family wholeheartedly.
However, three days later, it was a sultry afternoon, although it was not yet midsummer, the sun had begun to shine, Lan Yi was sitting there lazily, Ning Fu suddenly walked in from outside, and said eagerly: "Princess, Your Royal Highness is angry in the study, Xiao Yanzi said, it is best to ask you to go over and take a look, it is a matter of the back house." ”
Lan Yi immediately thought, "Is it Miss Si Tong who made trouble?" ”
Ning Fu waited for her to change into clothes and shoes to go out, and said: "Isn't it just the two of them, originally Miss Tong has loved to show her face in front of His Royal Highness recently, and no one said anything about her, but Miss Si broke into the study today, and insisted that Miss Tong had ill intentions towards His Royal Highness, and the two sides quarreled, each saying their own reason, His Royal Highness said that he wanted to continue to quarrel like this, so he simply coaxed out together." ”
Lan Yi couldn't cry or laugh, and walked out and said: "What kind of angry words do you say at this time, it was originally a trivial matter of competing for favor in the inner house, and there was no great murder, shake these disputes outward, who are you shaking it to." ”
Saying that, I hurried all the way over, and when I arrived outside the door of the study, I heard the girl Tong inside crying breathlessly, sobbing and saying, "The concubine didn't expect it...... I didn't expect it to be able to ...... I was able to be harmed by the sisters who came to serve together...... Concubinage...... The concubine is ......"
She cried so much, she gasped at every turn, and couldn't get to the point for a while, but Miss Si's speech was crisp, like an abacus bead being dialed, and she replied with a few words, "Sister, you see that the matter is revealed at this time, and you want me to share the punishment with you, I will suffer with you, after all, we are all here to serve His Highness together, you have taken the wrong path, I didn't persuade you, I am also wrong, I just hope Your Highness will not be angry, if you are angry, the concubine will be distressed to death." ”
Xiao Yanzi was originally outside to greet Lan Yi, and when she saw that she didn't continue to go inside, she lowered her head and listened outside the door together, and when she heard this, she probably couldn't help it, so she said loudly: "Your Highness, the princess has arrived." Then he pushed the door open and bowed down to invite Lan Yi in.
Wei Changjue sat behind the table, with a stack of books on it, one of which was spread out and placed on the top.
Lan Yi saluted first, and the two girls saluted her again. Wei Changjue had a faint smile in his eyes, and raised his hand to point to the soft collapse next to him, "Sit down, listen to what they have to say, I'm a little drowsy from the noise, and I can only rely on you to make decisions." ”
Lan Yi quietly glared at him and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Miss Tong cried so much that she almost had convulsions, and she had no ability to explain at all, but Miss Si simply said a few words and explained the ins and outs, "The relationship between the princess and Her Royal Highness was too good before, and when Sister Tong saw it, she became jealous, and the food she sent to Her Royal Highness was added with great supplements, just thinking that Her Royal Highness would eat more and more, and it was the age of vigorous energy, one day the princess was not feeling well, and His Royal Highness would go to her house." ”
If you say this further, it will be a little embarrassing, Lan Yi was embarrassed, looked at Wei Changjue, and asked: "This is not a big mistake, tonic is a good thing after all, and Miss Tong doesn't want to harm anyone." ”
Miss Tong seemed to be a savior when she saw it, and sobbed and said, "Princess...... What the princess said was ......"
Miss Si said loudly: "You still want to fool the princess at this time? People have said that taking too much of this tonic hurts the internal organs, and the body will continue to be hot, so many years and months, as soon as the heat disperses, it hurts the roots, you know this, but you still put those things into the dim sum tea, what are your intentions? ”
Miss Tong cried and threw herself over, tearing and said, "It's obviously you, it's obvious that you want me to curry favor with Your Highness, and those tonics are also ......."
"Yes, I discussed with you to please His Highness, but I didn't ask you to hurt His Highness's body! Your Highness is our husband, serving Your Highness and making Your Highness happy is what we should do, but you don't care about it like crazy, do you still want to ask me to help the abuse? Miss Si hid and distinguished.
Lan Yi looked at this undecently, frowned, and said coldly: "Enough, in front of me and His Royal Highness, I have to say anything, my own sisters, what is the difference between arguing and tearing like this, and the shrews in the market!" ”
Miss Tong was scared, the strength of her hand softened, and the whole person was paralyzed, "Princess, she is crazy, she didn't even let me go in order to compete for favor." ”
Lan Yi leaned forward and asked seriously: "You said that she didn't even let you go, and instigated you to do these things, what kind of evidence is there?" ”
Miss Tong held back for a while, her face turned red, and finally she said: "Every time she gives me ginseng and deer antler velvet and other supplements, she gives them separately, I have no evidence, and no one can prove that I am telling the truth." ”
Lan Yi felt that this Tong girl was a little stupid, Concubine Ying would choose this kind of person to follow Wei Changjue, I am afraid that she was also careful in her calculations, and specially asked her to drag Wei Changjue's hind legs, and after thinking for a while, she could only ask Wei Changjue, "The two concubines have their own words, what does Your Highness say?" ”
Wei Changjue said: "If you want me to say, no one is clean, just send them away." ”
Miss Si's eyes widened in surprise, originally she wanted to be the person who was loyal to her husband, but she didn't expect Wei Changjue to be so ruthless, and she was busy arguing, "No, no, Your Highness, the concubine really didn't do anything, she could drag the concubine into the water with a few casual words, how could the concubine be convinced?" ”
Lan Yi saw the impatience on Wei Changjue's face, and sighed from the bottom of her heart, in fact, she has basically figured out this matter here, she understands and understands the idea of competing for favor between women, but unfortunately these two girls still don't understand, since the day Concubine Ying arranged them, they have no qualifications to fight for anything.
"That's it, this matter has to be investigated, you two are confined to your own room, reflect on it for seven days, and when the time comes, Your Highness and I will definitely give you justice."
Miss Tong bowed her head to the ground first, "The concubine believes in the princess and His Royal Highness!" ”
Miss Si was helpless, and finally followed her example and said, "The concubine is willing to wait for His Highness to return the concubine's innocence." ”
In this way, both of them were taken down, and there would be someone in the palace to take good care of them, Lan Yi got up and walked to Wei Changjue's side, gently pushed his arm, and said: "It's obviously your woman, but you want me to clean up the mess, in fact, it's just a bad debt, whoever you like, just trust whoever you like, and reprimand the other one, this is the easiest." ”
Wei Changjue asked: "Aren't you afraid that the one who was wronged will be resentful and bring more trouble to the mansion when the time comes?" ”
Lan Yi hesitated for a moment before saying: "Originally, I said this to you, as if I didn't tolerate anyone in my eyes, but Miss Tong sent things to you, and Miss Si didn't give her less of those big supplements. You can save one of them with a word, and as for the other, it may be much better for a woman to dispel her mind as soon as possible than to be left out in the cold after being deeply affectionate. ”
Wei Changjue smiled and said, "How can you have such a big reason? ”
As soon as Lan Yi was said like this, her tone would soften, she knew that being a wife was always upright and would annoy people, so she rushed and said with a bit of hypocrisy: "I'm not thinking about you, for fear of punishing your heart, I was supposed to call you in the house in a dignified way, because other people's women rushed over under the sun, and I wasn't very happy." ”
"Look at your stinginess, I haven't finished what I just said. I wanted to say that although you have a big point, I think you are right. These two people don't match my heart, how you like to punish you, you are the housewife, and I will listen to you about the affairs of the inner house. ”
Lan saw Wei Changjue's expression calm, and she really didn't seem to have any feelings for them, and she wouldn't go crazy and had to push her husband to others, so she made up her mind to take advantage of this incident and let the concubines remember the rules.
After coming out of the study, Lan Yi took Ning Fu to the main house, and there was no one else along the way except for the master and servant. ”
Ning Fu had doubts in her heart, "But the princess obviously already knows, Miss Si is the mastermind." She bought these things, and every one of them was recorded and could not be denied, this is physical evidence. And the people sent to keep an eye on them can also corroborate it, Miss Si took the initiative to send someone to send things to Miss Tong's house, and followed her maid to inquire everywhere how these tonics were added to food to make them delicious, these are all human witnesses. Why didn't the princess directly reveal the truth just now? ”
