Chapter 46: The Handmaid Ascends the Throne (1)
King Qin and Qiao Hui stayed in the hall for a while, and then they felt bored, and Qiao Hui proposed to take him to visit the Jingguo Mansion.
The house is very large, with three rooms to live in, eight or nine large and small courtyards, as well as a library pavilion and a long corridor of copying hands with nine twists and turns.
Around the corridor, in front of a lotus pond, now is the hot summer, is the lotus blossom delicate season.
Qiao Hui's eyes showed a moment of resistance, but it disappeared in an instant, she pointed to those lotus leaves and said, "Lord Wang, my fourth sister fell into the water here last year," her expression turned to shallow sadness, "The concubine thought that she would never see her again, but fortunately, the Bodhisattva blessed the fourth sister and was fine." ”
King Qin took her hand, "You, what does this have to do with you?" It wasn't you who pushed her down, so why blame yourself like this? ”
Hearing this, Qiao Hui's hand shook, and she even withdrew her hand as if she was covering up, pinching the handkerchief to wipe her tears, she said: "The prince doesn't know, although I am from the second room, I have a very good time with the fourth sister, and she never cares about my identity." ”
"But since the fourth sister fell into the water, everyone in the house said that I was jealous of her to buy her girls and instructed them to poison them......"
The beauty cried, crying so that King Qin's heart was also panicked, he took Qiao Hui's handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said: "How can you choose your life experience, now that you have become the king's person, who dares to say that yours is not?" If you still have a knot, I will invite my father to the emperor another day, and let him issue a decree to make you a side concubine! ”
Hearing his words, Qiao Hui suddenly burst into tears and laughed, "Don't go, it doesn't matter what kind of position the concubine is, I'm afraid you will upset Your Majesty if you go." ”
King Qin smiled slightly, and there was a little emotion in his eyes.
The two walked hand in hand while admiring the flowers, and were greeted by a maid who walked briskly with her head down, holding a small cup of soup in her hand, but she didn't look at the road and accidentally bumped into the person in front of her.
"How do you do that?"
Qiao Hui's eyebrows jumped, and she even took a handkerchief to wipe King Qin's clothes, she frowned and wanted to reprimand her loudly, but after thinking about it, the people around her turned to scolding lightly.
The servant girl was about to cry, and she knelt down, and her head slammed on the ground with a few bangs, so that it was painful to hear.
"The prince spares his life! Three...... Wise master, spare your life! ”
"That's it, get up." King Qin looked at his greasy robe, but he felt a little headache, the soup was not hot and did not burn him.
"King, lord, the slave will take you to change your clothes......" The maid raised her head slightly, revealing a beautiful side face.
When Qiao Hui saw this, her eyes suddenly showed coldness, and she commanded directly: "Rong Gui, you take the prince to my father with her." ”
Rong Gui was the maid assigned to her when King Qin entered the palace, with a medium appearance and loyalty, Qiao Hui trusted her very much.
King Qin didn't say much, and went away with the two men.
Later, Qiao Hui stared at the beautiful maid, don't think she doesn't know what this cheap maid is doing!
Qiao Mei returned to her own yard, her mind was full of thoughts, and she only felt as if she had forgotten something.
In the previous life, after Qiao Hui married the four princes, the two also returned to the Jingguo Mansion, but later for some reason, the four princes hurriedly took Qiao Hui away, and their expressions seemed to be very angry......
And at that time, the emperor's health has not been very good after he suddenly contracted the wind and cold, so he has not been able to give the fourth prince a title. But why is there no news coming out of the palace now? Is the emperor okay or did someone stop the news?
Qiao Mei couldn't figure it out, she reached out and pinched her eyebrows, she really didn't want to think about these things, but these things were very likely to be related to Xie Huaijin's death two years later......
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, "Girl, the slave will rub your shoulders for you." ”
It was Rulan who spoke, and Qiao Mei could only see her exposing her snow-white neck, and she was very humble and respectful when she lowered her head.
A hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes, and Qiao Mei bowed his head slightly to speak. Slender fingers with some calluses caressed her shoulders, the strength was moderate, not soft or heavy, and Qiao Mei raised her eyebrows lightly.
This technique......
Qiao Mei said: "It's really much more comfortable, but where did you learn it?" ”
Rulan's chuckle came from behind her, with a little embarrassment, she said: "The girl has won the award, which is specially invited to learn it, because the grandmother at home is often sick, and she naturally has a set of techniques for pressing more." ”
Qiao Mei nodded, the corners of his lips rose, but his eyes were cold.
If she hadn't come over again, she would have been fooled......
-
"Auntie, are you okay?"
In the courtyard of Jinhua Courtyard, Aunt Xu took someone to the corner of the back door, Lan'er couldn't help crying, since the last time she accidentally offended Mama Li, the three girls have become more and more exposed to their true nature, and they don't like her more and more!
But she is just a servant, how can she slander her master in front of others? How can you cry these things to others?
"Is your master okay in King Qin's mansion?" Aunt Xu wiped the tears from her eyes before remembering what she wanted to ask.
Lan'er shook her head, sobbed, and said, "There are still a few masters in the Qinwang Mansion, they are the ones who were favored by the prince before the third girl, and after the palace was completed, they all shared the names of concubines. ”
"Although the prince loves the girl very much, but he always has a time when he can't worry about it, and those masters often come to taunt the girl......"
Aunt Xu suddenly lost her face, since she was accepted into the mansion by the second master, she has never fought with anyone, although the Qi family doesn't like her, they are used to not using any means to deal with her, so she has developed a look that she is now ignorant of the world, and she is simply unable to start when she encounters this kind of house fight!
Aunt Xu said: "Lan'er, you must help Sister Hui'er!" You're the only one she trusts......" She burst into tears again, not knowing what to do.
Lan'er knelt down all of a sudden, her eyes were red, "Auntie, the slave knows that you want to love the third girl, but you don't know, the girl, she has long been unhappy with the existence of the slave and maid...... She told Aunt Xu about Mama Li's visit to Suxin Courtyard that day.
"She, she's still blaming me!" Aunt Xu's face turned pale, her expression became depressed, and she muttered, "She must still be complaining that I left her...... But, but Brother Qi is also my own flesh and blood......"
"I beg my aunt to ask me to go again, she can't tolerate me anymore girl......"
Aunt Xu hesitated: "But ......"
"Auntie!" Lan'er's face appeared griefful, and a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in her eyes, "It's too late to say anything now, the third girl hates you, but you have to do something!" ”
"In the eyes of the slave, the girl is not as weak as we see it, she ...... If she can sit on the throne of the princess, what she needs most is ...... Your support! Lan'er lowered her voice, and her words couldn't contain her eagerness.
"After all, you are her biological mother, if you are well, that girl is even more prosperous in the palace! The slave is willing to help the aunt......"
Aunt Xu's face changed a few times, and her eyes began to become complicated.
Indeed, because of her status underground, Sister Hui can't even raise her head in the house, if so, if so......
