Lan Yi said: "Then you eat more, let's not stick to anything, talk while eating." ”

Mu Hesheng smiled again and said: "I haven't seen water chestnuts for a few days, to be honest, I shouldn't let her give me vegetables, the aunt next to Empress Cikang, I have to respect it." ”

The water chestnut saluted and said kindly: "The slave and maid dare not be the princess, the princess is golden and noble, and the slave and maid can give you cloth vegetables, which is the blessing of the slave and maid." ”

Mu Hesheng felt that she had changed a little, but she couldn't say what had changed.

After talking for a while, Lan Yi turned his eyes to Miao Qing, who had been standing silently next to him, and said: "I haven't seen it for a few days, Concubine Pei Shu was silent for a while, I still remember that we entered the palace together to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet before, Concubine Pei Shu opened a clever mouth, and said that Concubine Ying praised one after another, and the days when we were sisters at home when we were not out of the pavilion, now I think about it, it seems like it was just yesterday." ”

Miaoqing lowered her head and only responded softly, "That's the concubine's youth and ignorance, not to mention what sisters are not sisters, it is you who first explain to the concubine, after marrying, it doesn't matter." ”

"Didn't you swagger first? It's not good to blame me right now. Daddy came to sit with me, saying that you are still thinking about me after giving birth, for his sake, between us, we should know everything. Lan Yi deliberately bit the last few words, looking like he was complaining, but his tone was very good, "It's better to sit down and eat some together, it's all a family, Changjue is not here, so you don't have to be so polite." ”

Miaoqing shook her head, "The concubine doesn't dare." At present, the only one who is dining with you at the banquet is our princess, please don't embarrass the concubine. ”

Her status is low, and she can't eat at the same table with Lan Yi Hesheng, so Prince Gong's Mansion has set up other tables, and after Lan Yi and the two of them finish eating, there will naturally be someone to lead her and the maids over, but the host's opening is actually to save face, Miaoqing has always refused, and can only say that she doesn't want to accept any orders from Lan Yi.

Mu Hesheng couldn't help it at first, turned his head and said to her, "I've never seen you so polite before, usually in Yuwang Mansion, when I talk to His Royal Highness, you dare to interject, why don't you dare at this time?" ”

Miao Qing Zhen Zhen said, "It's because I didn't know the etiquette before, but now that I think it's inappropriate, I have to make the rules for myself, and I ask the princess to understand." ”

Seeing that they were about to quarrel on the spot, Lan Yi raised his hand to stop him, "That's it, Concubine Pei Shu doesn't want to be close to us, so you don't have to be reluctant." ”

At this time, Zizhu suddenly said: "Concubine Pei respects the two princesses and doesn't dare to sit at the same table, but Princess Gong is worried about sisterhood and doesn't want Concubine Gong to stand here." The slave maid thought that it would be better to set up a low table next to it, so that the concubine could hear what the princess said, and would not be left dry. ”

Everyone looked at her, but they all had different ideas, Pei Miaoqing was strange why she was speaking out at this moment, and pushing herself towards the other party, while Lan Yi was on guard.

This Zizhu was obviously taught very well by Concubine Ying, and it was impossible to guess what she was doing, and Lan Yi felt that the best way was to find an excuse to drive her out.

"Look at my memory, when I talk to He Sheng, I forget about others. Zizhu, you used to be a concubine, you were very expensive, I didn't pay attention to it, and I let you stand here all the time. She sneered at Ning Fu, "You don't want to remind you, why don't you take Zizhu down to eat?" ”

Ning Fu responded, came up and stretched out her hand to Zizhu, but Zizhu took a step back and said loudly: "The slaves and maids can't afford the word 'Jingui', if the masters are still eating here, but the slaves and maids are lazy on the side, what kind of system, and ask the princess to take back the fate." ”

Lan Yi touched a soft nail, knowing that this person must have been taught by Concubine Ying and sent over, and he couldn't get a result from being entangled for a while, so he stopped looking at her, his eyelids drooped slightly, "That is the case, Prince Gong's Mansion does not have the habit of being difficult for strong people, Ning Fu, according to what Miss Zizhu said, just set up a small table for Concubine Pei." ”

Ning Fu glanced at Zizhu fixedly and smiled, "Miss Zizhu is really a loyal servant. ”

Zizhu is also not modest, "The girl is right, we are slaves, only the loyal are the best." ”

Lan Yi no longer cares about that, and talks to Mu Hesheng about other homely gossip.

After about a cup of tea, He Sheng was finishing telling an anecdote about the Earl's Mansion next door, and suddenly held his forehead and said: "Lan Yi, you Gong Wangfu this wine, the stamina is really enough, when I drank it first, I felt nothing, but now I feel dizzy and just want to sleep." ”

Lan Yi smiled gently, "Whoever wants to sleep, although Prince Gong's Mansion is not big, it is not short of a bed." ”

Mu Hesheng smiled stupidly, and really fell asleep on the table unceremoniously.

Dong Zhi was a little anxious, went up and shook He Sheng's arm, and whispered: "This is in Prince Gong's mansion, but not in her own home, how can the princess say that she will sleep?" ”

However, Lan Yi immediately said: "He Sheng is not strong enough to drink, just fall asleep, Ning Fu, call a few powerful maids, and help her to the west warm pavilion to rest." ”

Ning Fu seemed to have been prepared, and she didn't need to go out to order someone at all, so she shouted a few directly, and propped Mu Hesheng up.

Dong Zhi didn't know what to do, the ants on the hot pot generally circled around He Sheng, calling her in a low voice, hoping to wake her up, Lan Yi said unhurriedly: "Don't be afraid, your princess is just sleeping in Prince Gong's mansion, and when she wakes up, everything is over." ”

Dong Zhi was stunned, "Everything has passed", what do you mean?

"Princess Gong, what are you?"

Lan Yi smiled at her and said gently, "Accompany your master to go down and rest for a while, listen to me." ”

Dongzhi has always trusted Lan Yi, and he also knows that his young lady also trusts Lan Yi, so he finally made up his mind not to ask more and followed over there.

For a while, only Pei Miaoqing was left in the banquet, and there was a quiet breeze through the hall quietly sweeping, bringing up the bead curtain and making a slight noise, she could not adapt to such quietness, and said crampedly: "In the end, the concubine is a person from the Yu Palace, Princess Yu is drunk now, the concubine should go to serve her, please Gong Princess ......"

"What are you doing in a hurry? Since I am a guest at Prince Gong's Mansion, I have not come in vain to sit down and talk for a while. Besides, He Sheng has never even waived your greetings, and he will not want you to serve by his side. Lan Yi interrupted directly.

Pei Miaoqing couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while, and Zizhu next to her hurriedly handed her a cup of tea and said, "You're thirsty." ”

was interrupted like this, Pei Miaoqing immediately took the tea and nodded again and again, "I'm thirsty." She lowered her head and drank tea, but she was actually thinking about how to reply to Lan Yi's words.

Zizhu helped respond, "Princess Gong, there is a gap between Concubine Pei and your identity, how can you sit in one place to eat and talk?" Not to mention ......"

"Did I let you speak?" Lan Yi didn't raise his eyelids, "The rules in this palace seem to be nothing more than that; The person sent by the concubine is nothing more than that. ”

Zizhu immediately knelt down, burying her head deeply, "The slave is wrong, the slave shouldn't intervene." ”

Lan Yi said: "You go out, stay outside, Prince Gong's mansion does not allow the maid who interrupts the master's speech at will, I read that you are from the palace, I will not punish you, but I don't want to see you again for the time being." ”

Pei Miaoqing looked anxious, as if she wanted to leave her behind, but Zizhu didn't know if she was too knowledgeable about current affairs or really knew that she was wrong, so she immediately answered "yes", and then walked out step by step with Miaoqing's pleading gaze.

Lan Yi didn't speak for a while, and the water chestnut also stopped the cloth on the side, the room was very quiet, and Miao Qing was playing drums up and down in her heart, not knowing what was waiting for her.

Throwing the wine glass in his hand on the table, watching it spin dripping, Lan Yi made up his mind and raised his hand.

The water chestnut nodded, picked up a plate of pastries in front of her, and sent it to Miaoqing.

I only heard Lan Yi say: "This is the newly learned osmanthus cake of the chef of Prince Gong's Mansion, you taste it, it is not like the taste in King Yu's Mansion." ”

Pei Miaoqing looked at the cake, and her body couldn't help but fight, but she knew that she must not show any clues at this moment, so she tried her best to suppress her emotions and said: "Thank you Princess Gong for the snacks, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

She stretched out her hand and took a piece, the aroma of osmanthus came to her nose, which was the same as what she wanted to coax Rong Huan to eat that day, sent it to her mouth, tried to bite it calmly, and squeezed out a smile, "The food of Prince Gong's mansion is naturally speechless, this osmanthus cake is sweet but not greasy." ”

Lan Yi curled the corners of his mouth, "So, what is the difference between what you gave Rong Huan to eat?" ”

This question came unexpectedly, and Miaoqing hadn't dealt with Lan Yi for too long, almost forgetting that she often went straight to the point like this. In the end, he was the one who had done something wrong, and he had never really killed anyone, and he was still young, and he almost fell off his seat, but he was desperate to make himself look surprised, and he stared at the woman on the main seat with wide eyes.

"Princess, what did you say? Shall I give Rong Huan? Rong Huan, isn't she dead? ”

Lan Yi said: "Yes, yes, Rong Huan is dead." But Rong Huan, how did he die? ”

Miao Qing shook her head, "How could the concubine know that the palace said that she died of illness, could it be that there are other inside information?" ”

Lan Yi sneered, "Of course there is an inside story, and this inside story, except for a little palace maid in the palace, only you know." Miaoqing, my second sister, I'm not wrong. ”

Miaoqing was stunned in her heart, although she felt that with the help of Concubine Ying, she was doing it seamlessly, but there were so many people in the palace, who would dare to guarantee that absolutely no one would see it?

But now I can only deny it vigorously, "Princess Gong, the concubine doesn't understand......"

"You don't need to understand, you just need to know, if you don't know, you can't do it unless you do." Lan Yi's body leaned forward, invisibly bringing a pressure, "Do you know why the cause of Rong Huan's death has not been searched for so long?" ”

Miao Qing blurted out, "Why?" ”
