Chapter 39: The Princess's Questioning
Mingyue looks beautiful and dignified, and she looks like a good quality orchid.
She was sitting in front of the dresser looking in the bronze mirror, dressing up, but there was a feeling of unhappiness in her heart.
Because I was afraid that the assassination operation would fail, for fear that they would be exposed, confessing that they were the masterminds, and making others think that she was a jealous woman, and the dignified general's wife was actually a jealous woman who could not tolerate others, and she would assassinate the princess, wouldn't it become a shame for the people of the world?
Xiaoque, the personal maid on the side, said while combing the dense green silk for Mingyue, "Madame is really a beautiful blue heart, no wonder the general is so fond of you!" ”
Mingyue listened, took the comb in her hand, and smiled at Xiao Finch, but it was a sneer, a little crazy, and threw the comb aside.
"Are you sarcastic about me? Yes, I'm so good-looking, and I have just gotten married to the general. But the emperor was in a hurry to marry the princess to him. If you want me, the general's wife, to save face? ”
Xiaoque hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Slave, slave doesn't mean that." If you say the wrong thing, you ask your wife to forgive me. ”
No one spoke, there was silence.
I felt uncomfortable, and the little finch was too frightened to speak.
The guards hurried over, looking very anxious. "Madame, Madame......"
"Bastard thing, what kind of system is so flustered." Mingyue glared at him. Motioned to the little finch next to him to listen to him.
The guard leaned into the ear of the little finch and told her what had happened.
"Little Finch girl, Her Royal Highness the princess arrived, and she looked very angry, and she came to find Madame, and she was not allowed to report to the general. I still hope that the general's wife will be in charge, how is it good? ”
Xiaoque hurriedly ran to the front and told Mingyue everything the guard said.
I still came to the door, and I couldn't hide. Mingyue thought secretly in her heart.
The appearance of the spirit embroidery is very beautiful, the neck is slender, the chin is beautiful, and the skin is like clotted fat. The thick bun stands tall, the hairpin on it is made of gold inlaid with jade and agate, and the necklace is also a very precious jadeite jade. Although gorgeous but not tacky, bright red lips, exuding an incomparably noble atmosphere.
"Princess, please wait, Madame will come later." The servants led the princess to the lobby.
Lingxiu looked at the furnishings in the lobby and felt quite extravagant.
"The women see the princess, I don't know what the princess has to do to come to your mansion, I hope to forgive me."
"Don't dare, don't dare, the general's wife asked me to wait for you here for so long, what else do you say? I don't think you're ...... at all I don't think I'll be able to come. Is that so? The General's Wife? Lingxiu approached the bright moon.
"Princess, I'm afraid she misunderstood something, right?" Mingyue pretended to be calm and tried her best to control her emotions, afraid that she would be seen something.
"What's the matter? Amusing. Don't you know it yet? The killer who came to my house that day to assassinate him, was it? Isn't that what you did? They've all confessed, do you still want to quibble? There are both human and material evidence. Why are you killing me? This princess usually does things above board and never does insidious things, why did Mrs. kill her so much. ”
Although Mingyue is usually a beautiful lady, she is a little panicked when she encounters something urgent, and she loses her usual demeanor for a while.
"It's not that the emperor wants to marry you to him. I have just married him, why does the emperor want to marry you to him, and how can you save my face? ”
Mingyue still couldn't bear it anymore and told everything.
"Yes, I'm just so unfair-minded, but isn't it your fault?" Mingyue's emotions were a little out of control.
Lingxiu sighed, but her anger still did not disappear, and she thought to herself: How can this woman be the general's wife, so ungraceful.
"Has the general returned? Tell the general to bring his wife over on a certain day to the princess's mansion, and say that the princess has something important to discuss. ”
So he waved his sleeves and left.
"None of you are allowed to tell the general about today's events, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
In the evening, the general returned from his official duties, tired from the day. Later, I still learned about what happened today, although I didn't go into details, and I didn't ask much, Mingyue also looked tender like water, no different from usual. He went to rest early, and tomorrow he went to the princess's mansion to find out.
Day 2.
"Let's go to the Princess's Mansion today. Ma'am, are you good? The general said to Mingyue.
"My husband wants me to go with me, how can my concubine be unwilling?" Mingyue said with a smile.
They took a carriage, arrived at the princess's mansion, and got off.
As soon as they arrived at the door, someone reported Lingxiu. Lingxiu had been waiting for them in the hall for a long time, wanting to hear what the young and promising general had to explain.
The general and Mingyue came to the lobby of the princess's mansion.
"Wechen see the princess, the princess Wanfu Jin'an, I don't know what is the important thing for the princess to come to Weichen? Why did you bring my wife with you? ”
"Lan'er, pour a cup of tea for the general's wife." Lingxiu glanced at the maid. The maid poured a cup of tea for Mingyue and deliberately poured it on her.
"Oh, my maid here is really careless, and the general's wife is embarrassed, if you don't think the clothes of our princess's mansion are vulgar. Now tell her to take you down and change into dry clothes. Lingxiu smiled knowingly.
"Okay, the courtiers will retire first." Mingyue saw that she was a princess, and she made a mistake, so she had to go down with the maid to change clothes.
"You all go down first, and wait until the princess has something to discuss with the general."
"Yes, Your Highness Princess." The guards and maids all retreated, and only the general and Lingxiu were left in the hall.
"Princess, what do you mean?" The general could see at a glance that Lingxiu was deliberate, but presumably there was something wrong, and he didn't expose it, but pretended not to know and asked Lingxiu.
Lingxiu sneered.
"General, don't worry, taste the tea of my princess's mansion first, and then this princess will talk to you in detail, okay?" Lingxiu suppressed anger in her heart.
The general was embarrassed to shirk it, so he had to agree.
Lingxiu picked up the teapot with her own hands, poured a cup of hot tea for the general, and greeted him with a smile.
"General, please." Because the tea was so hot, the general did not dare to touch it.
"Drink!" Lingxiu poured the tea on the ground with one hand, the tea spilled, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered.
"Wechen doesn't know what he has done? Provoked the princess so angry. If there is any offense below, please forgive the princess. The general didn't know why Lingxiu was angry, but he also expected that it must have something to do with yesterday's incident.
"You newlyweds, you are really bold enough. This woman is so narrow-minded, how can she be your virtuous helper like this," Lingxiu said angrily.
Lingxiu, who has always paid attention to the image, is so angry and out of shape, presumably something big has happened.
