Chapter 374: Suspicion
Sure that he didn't mean to joke, the attendant answered suspiciously, and after settling the account, he returned to the Twelve Princesses' Mansion the same way.
Inside the Princess's Mansion.
The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is pleasant.
The so-called camellia party is a group of noble ladies and ladies eating and drinking, and if you want to fiddle, you can also show off your knowledge.
Jiang You looked particularly boring.
However, for some reason, the Twelve Princesses hold a party almost every month, for all sorts of reasons.
So much so that every month, Jiang You would hide out, which made people feel helpless and ridiculous at the same time.
Qi Zihuan was laughing with Mrs. Yang, and the servant hurriedly came from the backyard: "Your Highness, Master Concubine, please come over." ”
Hearing this, without waiting for Qi Zihuan to be puzzled, Mrs. Yang took the lead in laughing: "It's really strange, this is the first time that a public banquet has been held, and the horses are still in the mansion." ”
Hearing this, Qi Zihuan didn't seem to hear Mrs. Yang's words, and naturally said: "He didn't make arrangements today, so he is naturally in the princess's mansion." ”
After finishing speaking, Qi Zihuan turned his head to look at the little guy again, and asked suspiciously, "What did the horse say?" ”
Not to mention that Mrs. Yang was surprised, even Qi Zihuan couldn't understand why Jiang You was in the mansion at this time.
She clearly remembered that he had left the house early in the morning.
Remembering Jiang You's instructions, the little servant said without blinking: "Master Ma bought a hairpin for the princess, and I want to ask Her Royal Highness the princess to go over and give it a try." ”
Suddenly, Qi Zihuan's face turned red, but he didn't have any doubts.
After all, in the past, Jiang You would buy her all kinds of gadgets on a whim.
It's just a hairpin, and she doesn't know how many there are in her jewelry box.
thought so, but Qi Zihuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
How can the one in the jewelry box be the same as the one given by Jiang You personally?
Seeing this, Mrs. Yang said: "Since Master Ma has something to say, then Your Highness will go, after all, we are all familiar with the princess's mansion, and there will be no mistakes." ”
When the words fell, the rest of the ladies also let out a kind laugh.
"No, you don't." Qi Zihuan shook his head and said, "Mrs. Yang and all the ladies are guests, how can this palace be absent?" ”
After that, she said to the little maid again: "You go back and tell the master of the horse, the hairpin can be seen at any time, but you can't be rude to the guests." ”
The little girl smiled: "Of course, Master Ma also said that if the princess is busy, there is no need to worry." ”
Hearing this, Qi Zihuan was finally satisfied: "Okay, the palace knows, you can go down." ”
The little guy took the order and left.
After the others left, the people around them joked about Qi Zihuan one after another:
"The twelve princesses and the twelve horses are in deep love, they have been newly married for a year, and the princess is still thinking about the princess from time to time, which is really rare."
"Yes, the princess is really very good to the princess."
"In the future, if my daughter can meet a husband like the Twelve Horses, then I will be content."
"Mrs. Naluo should keep her eyes open and find a suitable son-in-law among the young talents in Shangjing."
"I think about it, I'm afraid that the family won't agree, and he has such a baby bump under his knees, where can he easily marry off?"
"That's it, I'm obviously talking about Her Royal Highness the princess and the princess, how did it get to me, you don't know how to do it."
The laughter became more and more intense, and when she heard this, Qi Zihuan said generously to Mrs. Luo: "If Miss Luo finds a satisfactory husband in the future, please ask Mrs. Luo to inform the palace when she is married, and the palace will give a small gift at that time." ”
Hearing this, the rest of the ladies naturally congratulated Mrs. Luo in advance.
What an honor it would be to have the promise of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Seeing that Qi Zihuan seemed to have forgotten what had happened, and also forgot that the reason why Jiang You's leg was useless was because of the son of the Luo family.
Mrs. Luo was visibly relieved.
As soon as her heart was relieved, she couldn't help but let out a wry smile in her heart.
Jiang You is not bad, but her son Luo Wenhao is not pleased.
I only hope that the twelve princesses can really forget those things and sincerely deal with the Luo family, otherwise with the status of the Luo family, I am afraid that I will be embarrassed and don't know how to deal with myself in Beijing.
……
Inside the main courtyard.
Jiang You, who was waiting, anxiously wrote two pieces of paper one after another, looking at the messy strokes on the paper, he directly reached out and crumpled the paper, and threw it into the paper basket accurately.
Just when his patience was about to run out and he was about to call someone to ask, the little guy he had sent to deliver the news to Qi Zihuan trotted into the house.
Behind him, there was no one.
I couldn't tell if I was happy or disappointed, Jiang You's eyes darkened in an instant.
"What does the princess say?"
"Those ladies are laughing so much, Her Royal Highness the princess really can't get out of her body, let the horse master wait first."
Jiang You frowned and complained: "The monthly camellia party, I really don't know where they come from to say so much." ”
The little guy didn't dare to answer.
From the Treasure Pavilion, the mood of the horse master was not right.
It's a pity that he left a while beforehand, and he really didn't know what was going on, and now his eyes are black and he doesn't understand anything.
Jiang You didn't mean to worry about him, waved his hand and said helplessly: "That's it, this matter has nothing to do with you, she doesn't want to come, no one can force her, you go down first." ”
"Yes."
The study is connected to the bedroom.
After everyone had left, Jiang You ordered them to close the door.
Subsequently, he searched for Qi Zihuan's dresser jewelry box.
He found a box dedicated to hairpins.
He hadn't paid attention to these before, but now that he started to search, he found that Qi Zihuan's jewelry was so numerous that it was outrageous.
There are many that he does not even have the slightest impression of, which should be the most recent gains.
Jiang You's heart sank fiercely, and he didn't expect to think of the words he overheard outside the box of the Zhenyu Pavilion today.
Could it be that his father really plans to deal with the prince of the East Palace?
But although the prince of the East Palace is a little dark-hearted, she is a prince who can't find faults, and she is loved by the people and courtiers, so it is more appropriate for her to inherit the throne, why should my father do this?
The doubts in his heart gradually deepened, Jiang You kept moving his hands, he studied the structure of those hairpins, and then carefully opened them from the bottom and found a small hole that could accommodate a neck.
Jiang You's breathing became heavier and heavier, and he pursed the corners of his lips without saying a word.
He has already believed two points of what he hears today.
Most hairpins have small holes, and several bracelets are hollow and can be opened and reclosed separately from each end.
It's as easy as it can be to clip a piece of paper and bring it out.
However, after turning over all the jewelry, Jiang You still found nothing.
He paused and began to reset things into place.
When there were no signs of turning over in the place where the dresser jewelry box was placed, he raised his voice and called outside:
"Someone!"
Soon, the little man in the gray robe pushed the door in, stood respectfully outside the screen and asked, "What do you command?" ”
"You go to the account office to pay some silver, go to the most famous gold shop in Beijing to buy a few beautiful hairpins and come back, I see that the princess's hairpins are old, it's time to replace them."
The little guy didn't doubt him, and took the order and left.
Even if the gold shop outside will come to the princess's mansion every quarter and take out the latest jewelry for Her Royal Highness the princess to choose, but the master of the horse wants to think about it one by one, even if it is not yet time to buy jewelry, no one will say much about it.
About an hour later, Jiang You placed a whole box of the latest hairpins in front of him.
The trembling flowers stood there, looking at them from a distance, enough to confuse the real with the fake.
Jiang You dismantled a few of them and played with them casually.
There are no small holes.
The base cannot be removed.
Suddenly, his heart sank into the bottomless abyss, fell into the cold pool, and couldn't help but shiver.
Originally...... What Yang Yishu said turned out to be true.
Although he didn't find the so-called letters, if it wasn't for the message, why did these hairpins be made like this?
Even the hairpin in the most famous gold shop in Shangjing has no holes......
Seeing that his expression seemed to be wrong, the little guy asked cautiously: "Master Horse, but these hairpins are not good-looking?" ”
Jiang You didn't answer and asked: "There is nothing better than these in the gold shop?" ”
"It's gone." The little servant replied truthfully: "The hairpin master of this gold shop is retired from the palace, and the hairpin made from her hand is almost the same as that in the palace. ”
"Forget it." Suppressing the monstrous shock in his heart, Jiang You pouted in a light voice: "Then forget it, you go down and go to the account room to receive the reward." ”
The little guy is overjoyed.
He thought that the horse was not satisfied, and it was estimated that he would have to run his legs in vain, but who knew that although the horse master was really dissatisfied, he did not deduct his reward.
Silence returned to the room.
The carelessness on Jiang You's face completely faded, a dark color appeared in his eyes, and he even clenched his fists unconsciously, and the panic that suddenly rose in his heart almost overwhelmed him.
Father, what do you want to do?
……
In the evening, the last guest of the princess's mansion was sent off.
Facing the return to the deserted princess's mansion, Qi Zihuan showed a touch of fatigue on her face, but when she thought that Jiang You was waiting in the room, she couldn't care about being tired, so she lifted her skirt and ran to the main courtyard.
No manners at all.
I can't find the slightest bit of nobility in the garden today.
Fortunately, a whole year has passed, and the princess's mansion is her person, and she is not afraid of any minions who are not long-eyed and dare to chew their tongues behind their backs.
If there is such a slave, pull out his tongue.
So, when Qi Zihuan returned to the main courtyard, and the seven or eight little maids behind him were also running out of breath, no one asked.
Qi Zihuan stood outside the door, breathing patiently.
She's not in a hurry, not at all.
Anyway, no matter what, Jiang You must not be allowed to see her jokes.
After a while, after confirming that he was no longer panting, Qi Zihuan stretched out his hand, calmly pushed open the door, and walked into the bedroom with a light look in his eyes.
As soon as she entered, she lay on the beauty couch, raised her hand in exchange for two little maids to pinch her shoulders and beat her legs, and asked casually:
"I'm tired to death, you suddenly came back so early today?"
