Chapter 234: Calm Things Down
Blue Baby shook his hand back, smiled softly, and said, "What they said is just their own guesses, and they can't be taken seriously. Everyone has their own judgment in their hearts, you just have to believe in yourself. ”
Jin Feiyu nodded vigorously.
"In that case, why are you still locking yourself up, and you have done nothing wrong, what are you reflecting?" Blue Baby laughed and teased.
Jin Feiyu blushed suddenly, withdrew his hand awkwardly, tilted his head and said, "I, I just can't be angry, I just don't want to see them." ”
Blue Baby smiled, "Oh, really? Are you hiding from them? Or do you find yourself unhappy, knowing that what they said is untrue, you still have to think more, is it possible that because of their words, your heart is shaken? ”
"I didn't!" Jin Feiyu glared at her angrily, and she was greatly humiliated.
"No, no, what's the murder!" The blue baby waved his hand, and made a gesture of begging for mercy with both hands, "You have all mouths, each has its own ideas, it can't be blocked, and when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you have to trust your own judgment." ”
"Well, I remember." Hearing what she said so sincerely, Jin Feiyu's face eased and asked suspiciously, "By the way, why did Brother Bao come suddenly?" Could it be that Mama Huai is looking for you? ”
"It's not!" Lan Baobao paused for a moment, thinking that even if she didn't say anything about the concubine, others would say it, and the little guy would know sooner or later, so he said in a calm tone: "I'm for the concubine Niangniang's business, you probably don't know yet, the concubine Niangniang suddenly disappeared when she went to the temple to worship the Buddha, and I came here today to paint a portrait of her, so that the Youduwei can take it to find someone." ”
"W-What?" Jin Feiyu couldn't help but shudder, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Blue Baby patted the top of his head and reassured: "Don't think about it, it may just be an accident, it has nothing to do with others, we will find someone as soon as possible." ”
The expression on Jin Feiyu's face did not relax, and his eyes became heavier and heavier. He has personally experienced the matter of his mother's concubine, and he is unconsciously worried about the disappearance of the concubine, will he be like his mother?
"Xiao Yu, do you remember what the concubine looks like? Can you draw a picture for me, and I'll draw one directly to you. Blue Baby seemed to see the worry in his heart, and quickly changed the subject.
Jin Feiyu thought for a moment before suddenly shaking his head, "Those ladies in the backyard, I always can't tell who is who." ”
Blue Baby also expected that he couldn't remember clearly, the little guy had said before that the princess rarely let him deal with the concubines in the backyard, so naturally he wouldn't be familiar with it.
"Okay, then I'll go to the backyard and ask." Baby Sapphire stood up from her chair and bowed her hands to leave.
Jin Feiyu was a little reluctant, and hurriedly asked, "Do you need, do you need me to lead the way?" ”
"No, I know Yao Liangdi, she can help me." Lan Baobao shook his head with a smile, and before leaving, he told again, "Also, don't drill the horns anymore, Mama Huai, they are all worried about you, I'm leaving." ”
"Long-winded!" Jin Feiyu pursed his lips with a red face, and turned his back directly to look at her.
Blue Baby left with a smile and went to the backyard to find Fang Fei, probably knowing that Youdu Wei would come again, and many concubines appeared in Fang Fei Yuan.
Lan Baobao still has an impression of these people, after all, he had communicated here once before, and at that time, only Concubine Fang, Concubine Shu and Shen Ji were not there, and this time it was impossible for the first two to appear, and that Shen Ji was not there.
In the midst of everyone's gossip description, the blue baby completed the portrait of the concubine with a swollen head.
"Father-in-law Bao is really good at painting, this painting is like a real person, and even the charm is seven points similar."
Everyone looked at the portrait, and some couldn't help but marvel.
"Father-in-law Bao also painted for us before, but it was painted according to real people, which was very expressive, and we were all amazed at that time. I didn't expect you to be so capable, you can draw so vividly out of thin air, no wonder you can win the favor of His Royal Highness King Ling. ”
"That's right, I also heard that His Royal Highness King Ling is very fond of Grandpa Bao."
"And His Royal Highness King Ling doesn't marry wives and concubines, there is only one Father-in-law Bao by his side!"
The topic of good looks suddenly turned to King Ling, and then looking at the gossip on the faces of these people, all of them laughing so weirdly, Lan Baobao chuckled in his heart, and quickly diverted their attention.
"Everyone, I don't know what you think about the matter of the concubine?"
As soon as these words came out, the previous lively discussion stopped instantly, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little solidified, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to talk about right and wrong at such a sensitive time.
There are so many things in the palace one after another, and anyone with a discerning eye can guess that these eighty percent are related to the vacant position of the princess, and those who are qualified to compete can't say much, so as not to set themselves on fire.
Those who are not qualified to compete dare not say much, and some people even think that this is a curse left by the first princess, and whoever dares to think that the position of princess will definitely be punished.
The worst is to die like the side concubine, and the light is like the concubine's whereabouts are unknown today, and her life and death are uncertain.
Although they like gossip, they also came to Fangfeiyuan to listen to the people of Youduwei say something about the concubine, but they didn't dare to talk about it like the princess disappeared again.
Fang Fei understood their scruples and worries, so she waved her hand and said, "My sisters have also been sitting here for a long time, they must be tired, go back and rest." ”
Recently, although His Royal Highness wanted to support the side concubine as the main concubine, but because the side concubine was not in good health, all the general affairs in the house were taken care of by Yao Liangdi, she held real power, and the sisters naturally did not dare to offend her.
Now listening to her teasing people, everyone retreated as if they had been amnestied.
Lan Baobao didn't rush to leave, and when everyone dispersed, he found that Xuan'er hadn't left yet.
It was still the same as when I first saw it, sitting on the chair gently and quietly, with an indifferent and elegant atmosphere on my body, and when I accidentally met the blue baby's eyes, I lowered my eyes shyly, and that look was like two people when I saw it in Yahelou before.
Blue Baby is even a little skeptical that there are really two Xuan'er in this world, otherwise how could the personality be so bad.
"Father-in-law Bao, you should also know that recently, our Shengwang Mansion is making a fuss about the election of the concubine." Fang Fei looked at the blue baby and said, "I won't hide it from you, since the unfortunate death of the side concubine sister, His Royal Highness has been interested in the concubine sister again." This time, Sister Concubine had an accident again, and there were more and more rumors in the house, and I was the most suspicious of these rumors. ”
Lan Baobao also guessed a little, she just didn't quite understand King Sheng's thoughts, since she loved Fang Fei so much, and put the real power in charge of general affairs in her hands, so why not just straighten Fang Fei right?
Fang Fei saw that the blue baby didn't speak, her face was thoughtful, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, so she also fell silent.
Xuan'er opened her mouth instead, "Father-in-law Bao, Sister Concubine is humble and indifferent, and she has never made enemies in the mansion, maybe her disappearance is just a misunderstanding!" Recently, a lot of things have happened in the house, and the slave family thinks it's just a coincidence. ”
"Sister Princess died of illness, and Sister Side Concubine was hit hard earlier because of the slippery tire, and her heart became more and more depressed, and she has already self-harmed more than once.
Xuan'er rarely said so much in front of outsiders, and she felt a little short of breath, so she said slowly: "The two things have nothing to do with each other, and only because the time of occurrence is too subtle will they attract suspicion." ”
"So Xuanru thinks that no one is calculating behind these things, it's just a coincidence?" Baby Blue asked rhetorically.
Xuan'er lowered her head again and said softly: "This is just the slave family's superficial opinion, the matter of the concubine's sister is still inconclusive, and the slave family does not dare to discuss it." ”
Lan Baobao nodded, and quickly changed the topic, "Do you know if the concubine has offended anyone outside the mansion?" ”
Fang Fei and Xuan Yu'er thought about it, and finally shook their heads.
The concubine is very low-key, everyone only knows that she is not from the capital, and her family background is also very shallow.
It's just that no matter how beautiful her face is, she will feel bored after looking at it for a long time, and she has lived a beautiful life in the first two or three years after entering the house, and she was soon promoted to the rank of concubine.
But in the past two years, His Royal Highness's attention has been distracted by several new beauties who have entered the mansion, and gradually the concubine is no longer so favored. is because of his non-fighting temperament, he successfully defused many open guns and hidden arrows in the treacherous backyard.
Lan Baobao didn't stay in King Sheng's Mansion for long, and after Fang Fei couldn't ask anything, he hurried back to Youduwei.
Just when she was busy with the affairs of the concubine, the prince who made her think about it for a long time finally returned home.
After Jin Lingluo returned home, he heard from Steward Lan that Youduwei had a case that needed Lan Baobao's help, and he was called away in the morning.
Jin Lingluo was lost for a while after hearing this, and his pace slowed down unconsciously, but his face was still unfazed. When he stepped into the dust of the light, he saw the two maidservants in the side hall carrying a box out of the house.
"What are you doing?" Jin Lingluo walked over and asked.
With a bang, the box fell directly from the hands of the two people, almost smashing their faces.
Tang Yuan and Sang Zhi hurriedly knelt down and saluted, no one expected that His Royal Highness would come back at this time, and suddenly came to talk to them, which frightened them at that time.
The wooden box was not locked, and they threw the lid open when they fell like this.
Jin Lingluo lowered his head and swept in, and found that there were sundries inside, but half of the wooden box was soaked.
Sang Zhi reacted in hindsight and hurriedly explained: "There was a rain the day before yesterday, and the slaves and maids didn't notice the leakage of the roof above the wardrobe, and they actually soaked the entire wardrobe. I found out today, and I wanted to take out everything in the closet to dry. ”
Jin Lingluo nodded after hearing this, didn't say anything, and was about to turn around and leave the ground, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a delicate wooden box in a pile of miscellaneous items, which was very eye-catching, not like a thing in the palace, and he had never seen Ah Bao take it out.
"What is this?" Jin Lingluo asked, pointing to the wooden box.
Sang Zhi looked in the direction he pointed, and when he saw the wooden box, he also thought for a moment before he had some impressions, and remembered that Grandpa Bao was very secretive about this wooden box, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.
Now that Her Highness has seen it, is she going to take it out?
"Show it to the king." Jin Lingluo commanded.
Sang Zhi said "I'm sorry" to the blue baby in his heart, then gritted his teeth and took out the wooden box and handed it to His Highness with both hands.
Jin Lingluo didn't answer, raised his hand to open the lid, and with a sweep of his eyes, he saw an emerald green jade pendant lying inside, as well as an extremely familiar thing, and his face sank immediately.
Sang Zhi was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, and he deeply felt that the aura on His Highness's body was simply terrifying.
Jin Lingluo was silent for a long time before picking up the jade pendant and the marriage stick, looking at the word "Tang" on the jade pendant and the signature of "or ten years, or seven or eight years, or five or six years, or three or four years", the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, and he almost pinched off the marriage stick.
After the Youduwei was busy until evening, the blue baby returned to the palace.
The next thing is to find someone, there is no need for her to play, so I simply wait for news in the palace first. The most important thing is that she is still thinking about His Royal Highness, the last time the two of them broke up unhappily, she has not apologized to the other party properly and explained the misunderstanding.
