Chapter XXVIII

'Bell bell'. Lan Xin rang the gong and signaled the palace ladies and young masters to stay quiet.

"Now I announce that the first auction of Rong Fangxuan will now begin."

Mo gently walked out with a black cloth and put it on the table in front of the concubines.

"The slave maid is here to tell you the rules first, each piece of fat powder starts at ten taels of silver, that is, ten taels of silver and ten taels of silver are added up, and the highest price wins, and the most important point is that there is no size in this auction, all are equal."

"Okay, without further ado, the first fat powder I'm about to show, the hydrating cream, has a starting price of ten taels of silver."

"Twenty taels of silver from this palace." Concubine Ning took the lead in holding up the sign.

"Okay, twenty taels of silver for the first time, is there any sign raised? Twenty taels of silver for the second time, and twenty taels of silver for ....... ”

"Thirty taels from this palace." Zhen Guiren suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Mo's soft shouting.

Concubine Ning on the side glared at the noble man viciously, but the noble nobleman's gaze had already been attracted by the small wooden hammer in Mo Qingrou's hand.

"Thirty taels for the second time, thirty taels for the third time, deal, this hydrating cream is a noble person."

As soon as the final word was made, the palace maid beside the noble man quickly sent the silver.

"The second facial cleanser can help you wash your face and wash it cleanly and thoroughly, repair your skin, and restore your youth, starting with twenty taels of silver."

"Thirty taels from this palace." Concubine Hua also held up the sign.

"Okay, No. 5 Niangniang is forty taels, forty taels for the first time, and forty taels ......."

"Fifty taels." Ning Concubine held up the sign unyieldingly.

"Okay, is there anything higher than fifty taels?"

Mo gently walked around, "Fifty taels for the first time, fifty taels for the second time......." ”

"Sixty taels." Concubine Hua shot again.

"Sixty taels for the first time, sixty taels for the second time, sixty taels for the third time, the deal, this facial cleanser belongs to Concubine Hua."

Then came the third piece, the fourth product, and finally Mo gently took out today's blockbuster.

"This product slave will not lift the black cloth, we have to guess and shoot! The auction starts at a hundred taels of silver, and now begins. ”

For a while, the concubines below had different opinions, and no one knew what was under the black cloth, whether it was pearl powder or not, so no one dared to raise a sign.

At this time, Concubine Ning raised the sign, "One hundred and ten taels." ”

Concubine Ning's luck was a little bad today, and she didn't get a single fat powder, so she couldn't sit still and took the lead in holding up the sign.

"Is there anything higher than Concubine Ning?"

Mo asked softly again, and Concubine Ning, who was sitting below, nervously clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

"One hundred and ten taels for the first time, one hundred and ten taels for the second time, one hundred and ten taels for the third time, the deal, congratulations to Concubine Ning, please unveil the mysterious black cloth in public."

Concubine Ning walked up to the stage nervously and slowly uncovered the black cloth, and under the black cloth was the pearl powder they had dreamed of.

"Ah, pearl powder, Sister Ning is so blessed, she actually won pearl powder."

Zhen Guiren is obviously happier below than Ning Concubine who has won the pearl powder.

Mo Qingrou wants this effect, the last item is auctioned by guessing, and no matter what it is in the future, it will slowly rise to a high price, so that she will become a little rich woman!

The concubines of each palace all took their favorite fat powder back to the palace, and the little masters who did not have an auction gave two masks, so that those who participated in both the fat powder and the mask could be taken, and the concubines would not be jealous.

In the evening, Mo Qingrou learned that Princess Xi was left in the queen's palace for dinner, so she decided to carry out the idea that An Shuangchi gave her tonight.

However, this plan can only be completed with the cooperation of two people, and now it is only herself, she thinks about it and thinks that the most suitable person in this Rong Fangxuan is Lan Ruo.

So she called Lan Ruo to her, told her about her plans, and then began to put on makeup for her.

Both of them turned into the appearance of palace mothers, wearing dark clothes, and even their voices were much lowered.

"Lan Ruo, when the time comes, you just need to cooperate with me, do you know?"

"No."

The two of them came to the princess's only way to go to Baoning Palace - the Imperial Garden, they hid behind the rockery, and saw that Princess Xi was walking towards this side with the palace maids and eunuchs, Mo gave Lan Ruo a look gently, and Lan Ruo understood.

"Hey, have you heard? Princess Xi's biological mother, Concubine Zhao, was actually poisoned to death by the queen's mother. Mo gently estimated the distance of Princess Xi here, and deliberately said loudly in order to attract Princess Xi's attention.

Lan Ruo's grandmother pretended to be shocked and said, "What? Didn't you say that you died of miscarriage? ”

"Not really! Miscarriage is just a statement that the queen mother covered up the crime, thinking that Concubine Zhao was the only one to get the holy favor, if she gave birth to a prince, the emperor would definitely make him the prince, as the mother of a country, how could she sit idly by and let a concubine stand on her head? ”

"I see!"

"Yes, you said that the queen killed Princess Xi's biological mother, and she has to pretend to be a mother to take care of Princess Xi, and let Princess Xi know that it was the queen who killed her biological mother in the future, what will Princess Xi do?"

"Then who knows, but is there any evidence for what you said?"

"Why not, some time ago, when I passed through the cold palace, I saw Mama Xi next to the queen mother and went to visit the palace maid Hada Xin who was next to Concubine Zhao, I saw Mama Xi feed Hada Xin a bowl of medicine, and Hada Xin died that day, I guess it must be that the queen mother is afraid that someone will suspect her, so she will poison Hada heart."

The two of them were talking as if no one was around, and Su Xi listened silently behind him, clenching his fists angrily.

"Mama, it's not early, let's go back quickly."

Mo Qingrou saw that his goal had been achieved, so he and Lan Ruo quickly left the Imperial Garden.

Su Xi stabilized her mind, she hadn't heard of the rumors in the palace for so many years, she just trusted the queen too much, and now that she mentioned it again, she had to start to doubt it.

Hada heart she knows, once she accidentally strayed into the cold palace, saw the stupid Hada heart, she curiously asked the queen mother's grandmother who the person was, but the imperial grandmother tearfully told her that it was the palace maid next to her mother, since the mother concubine died, she has gone crazy.

I didn't expect her to die after so many years, seeing that what the two grandmothers said just now was not like a lie, she was going to ask the queen in person.

"Xi'er visits the queen mother."

"Xi'er is here, come and sit next to the queen mother, tonight the queen mother specially asked the small kitchen to make Xi'er's favorite dishes, try it."

Su Xi sat on the side and didn't move her chopsticks, and the queen noticed that she was unhappy, so she asked, "What's wrong Xi'er?" Is the dish not to your liking? Come, the queen mother will bring you vegetables. ”

"Queen Mother, is Hada Xin dead?"

Su Xi saw the obvious beating of the queen's hand picking up vegetables, which further verified his conjecture.

"Yes, I died of heart palpitations a few days ago, but it's a pity for such a loyal minion." The queen pretended to be very sorry.

Su Xi looked at the queen's disguise coldly, "But Xi'er heard that it was Mama Xi next to the queen mother who poisoned Hada's heart to death." ”

In a panic, Mama Xi behind the queen actually dropped the wine glass in her hand to the ground, knelt down and said: "Princess, the slave maid is wronged, the slave maid has never stepped into the cold palace with the queen all day long!" ”

"Xi'er, who did you hear talking nonsense?" The queen questioned Su Xi with some annoyance.

"Is the queen mother angry? Does that mean Xi'er is right? ”

The queen knew that her words and deeds were a little excessive, so she pulled Su Xi seriously and comforted: "Xi'er, no matter what you have heard, don't believe anyone you say, some people just want to provoke the love between our mother and daughter." ”

Su Xi couldn't listen to the queen's rhetoric at this time, and the conversation she heard in the imperial garden kept echoing in her mind.

"Queen Mother, are you still as easy to coax as Xi'er as a child?"

Su Xi broke free of the queen's hand and left Baoning Palace angrily.

The queen was afraid that the image of a good queen mother that she had always maintained in Su Xi's mind would be ruined, so she didn't care about eating, and hurriedly thought of countermeasures.

"Mama Xi, do you know what is wrong? I couldn't do such a trivial thing well, and I was caught by the tail, which made Xi'er not believe in this palace. ”

Mama Xi knelt on the ground and couldn't figure out what went wrong, "Niangniang, the slave and maid really can't figure it out, what went wrong, obviously they have worked hard to get in when no one notices, but I don't know who saw the leak, the slave and the maid will definitely send someone to find out." ”

"That's it, Hada's heart is dead, don't mention this matter again, the most important thing at the moment is ...... Xi'er."

The queen sighed, ordered the table to be removed, and sat on the soft couch to think of countermeasures.

Mama Xi didn't know what to do, so she could only comfort the queen with words, "Niangniang, Princess Xi has been by your side since she was a child, this time it's just that Princess Xi listened to the slander, you can rest assured that the princess won't really be angry with you." ”

The queen rubbed her eyebrows, "Who is Tongxi'er who said these words?" Who is spreading rumors in the palace? ”

At this moment, the 'perpetrator' is sipping melon seeds in the room, she just gambled in her heart, if Su Xi stood up and asked them, it would mean that she didn't believe what they said, but, it backfired, Su Xi didn't jump out to question them, it means that she believed what they said.

In this way, the queen and Su Xi ......, seeing how the queen kept troublesome with her again and again, she must have been too busy to take care of herself at this time! just gave her the opportunity to show her strength in the palace.

On the vertical day, An Shuangchi came to Rong Fangxuan for the first time, and the palace maids saw that the legendary general of the god of war was standing in Rong Fangxuan at this time, and they were all guilty of at the door, Mo Qingrou thought that something was wrong, so she crossed the palace maids in confusion, but when she saw An Shuangchi, her heart was clear.
