Chapter 148: Fog (9)
Jingcheng South Street. Jiren Hall.
In the backyard, several men were counting the medicinal herbs they had recovered from the Zhuangzi.
Ye Jingjing stood aside and checked the medicinal materials that had been counted again.
Actually, she could have left these jobs to the guys without worrying, but she was not at ease, so she would personally check them every time she harvested the medicinal herbs.
At this time, the girl peony came over with a tea tray.
"Miss, are you thirsty? Take a sip of tea. β
"Good!" Ye Jingjing wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a purple sand teacup, and took a few big sips.
Seeing the young lady's gobbling up, Peony couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Ye Jingjing put down the cup and said with a smile: "You girl, what are you laughing at?" β
Peony smiled: "Miss, how can you drink tea like this?" People drink tea is to taste tea, focusing on a pin, slowly drink a fine sip, you are good, like a cow drink, there is no beauty at all. β
Ye Jingjing couldn't help but laugh. "You girl, no big or small, compare your young lady to a cow?"
Peony stuck out her tongue and grinned.
"It's undeniable, Peony, you've grown a lot of tea making." Ye Jingjing took another sip of tea, this time it was a fine product instead of a cow drink, and between breaths, her nose was full of a strong and light fragrance, which was a little special.
She took a few deep breaths and asked in surprise, "Are you a bubble rose?" β
"Yes, miss, you are amazing, this is indeed a rose."
"Why did you suddenly remember to make tea with roses?"
Peony smiled: "Miss, there is a reason for this, the slave knows that you like to drink jasmine, but the last time the slave and maid saw that His Royal Highness liked to drink rose tea, but the slave and maid's skills in making tea are still very poor, so I have practiced making rose tea every day these days." In this way, when His Highness comes in the future, won't there be tea to drink? β
At the mention of Yexi, Ye Jingjing's face changed slightly, her smile faded, and her eyes darkened.
Since the last time the two fell out, Yexi has never come to him. And because she was busy, she never entered the palace. What's more, even if she enters the palace, she won't go to him.
Thinking of the love between the two in the past and the oath of the mountain alliance and the sea, Ye Jingjing's heart ached faintly.
She shook her head and decided not to think about him anymore.
"Peony, where is your sister Bai Zhi, why haven't you come back yet?"
Before Peony could reply, a green shadow flashed at the small door on the other side of the corridor, and a girl in green walked in.
Ye Jingjing smiled: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao is here, you see, isn't that your Sister Bai Zhi?" β
Peony pursed her lips and smiled, picked up the tea tray and walked away.
Bai Zhi hurriedly walked over and said in a low voice: "Miss, when the slave maid returned to the house just now, she heard about two things. β
Ye Jingjing raised her eyes and glanced at her, and said slowly: "What's the matter?" β
Bai Zhi whispered a few words in her ear.
Ye Jingjing slowly raised her head and looked at her in surprise.
"Did I hear me right? You said that the emperor ordered the eldest lady to enter the palace and be taught by the emperor himself? β
"Yes, Miss!"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"It shouldn't be wrong, it's Gonggong Qi who is delivering the message."
Ye Jingjing got up involuntarily, her mind was spinning rapidly, and after a while, she asked, "Bai Zhi, guess, the emperor...... What does this mean? β
Bai Zhi shook her head, her eyes full of confusion. "Miss, this is unbelievable."
"Yes, Bai Zhi, you used the right word, it's incredible." Ye Jingjing said to herself.
Let the woman enter the palace in advance, not to mention, but also be raised by the emperor and queen personally, how afraid is the emperor that the crown princess will be snatched away by others? What's so good about that slut, the emperor will give her such special treatment.
She sat down slowly, only to feel a tingling in her heart.
If that slut really enters the palace, based on her appearance, I'm afraid that the lustful prince will really empathize and stop falling in love.
No, no, she couldn't just watch that happen.
Bai Zhi stood aside, seeing that the young lady's expression was cloudy and pale, she couldn't help but stop talking.
Ye Jingjing glanced at her and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Miss, the slave maid also heard about ......" Bai Zhi glanced around, and no one else was here, but she still vigilantly lowered her voice and whispered a few words in the young lady's ear.
Ye Jingjing's face changed suddenly, staring at Bai Zhi. "Bai Zhi, what you said is true?"
"It's true. Miss, almost everyone in the house knows that we are in the dark. β
Ye Jingjing's heart jumped up with a "bang", and she was even more panicked than when she heard the woman enter the palace just now. She got up a little godlessly, and the Jinpa in her palm became tighter and tighter.
If these things were true, it would be weird. The emperor's actions were already incredible, but he didn't expect a small case to alarm Qiao Siyan.
Who is JosΓ©yan? Others don't know, but she knows too well. What a haughty and conceited man. How many bizarre cases were sent to him that did not necessarily attract his attention, the son of a little slave and maid was bitten to death by a wolf, but it alarmed his master?
This, unusual!
Bai Zhi frowned and pondered, and asked cautiously: "Miss, you say, could it be that Boss Wu killed that child?" β
"No," Ye Jingjing shook her head resolutely, "Wu Da is not a person who causes trouble for no reason, and without my knowledge, he will not act without permission." β
"That ......"
Ye Jingjing got up and came to the window. The red plum outside the window had just bloomed, and a stream of fragrance came to her nose, however, the fragrance of the flowers did not calm her heart, but made her more and more flustered.
She faintly felt that it was definitely not an accident that these things came together, one was the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and the other was the Yin of the Golden State Mansion, what was the meaning of their actions? The emperor didn't mention it for the time being, just said that Qiao Siyan, although he was the Yin of Jinzhou Mansion, and he was dissolute and unruly on the surface, but she knew that this person was very close to the king of Zhenbei, and the relationship between the two was extremely close.
Her heart moved, could it be that Qiao Siyan was behind the king of Zhenbei? How else can this be explained?
It's just the king of Zhenbei......
Thinking of that iceberg king, Ye Jingjing's head became even more dizzy. She couldn't help but rub her temples, and her mind became a little clearer.
Her mind was in turmoil. It seems that the secret will not be kept.
She knew that once the secret was revealed, the world would be in chaos, and she seemed to have smelled bursts of bloody rain.
"Miss, what now?"
Bai Zhi's voice seemed a little ethereal, and Ye Jingjing came back to her senses.
yes, what to do?
Did you let that woman enter the palace? Let her sit where she rightfully belongs?
Also, that's the most important thing, even more important than Yehee to her.
That is, that secret, she must grasp it before it reveals its true face, and firmly control it in her hands.
