Chapter 230: Falling Flowers Are Intentional
Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Xue Yi understands that this Wang Meiren must have her reason for her sudden visit, Xue Yi knows better, don't guess things that can't be guessed, since she came, she will naturally say her purpose.
Xue Yi sat steadily on the soft chair carved with dragons and phoenixes, and gently took a sip of tea.
Wang Meiren sat down uninvited, and praised with a smile: "Niangniang is really good-natured, don't you want to know if my sister will murder Niangniang if she does this?" ”
Xue Yi smiled back: "Since my sister calls herself a sister but still calls me a mother, isn't it a birth?" My sister and I are both the emperor's concubines, but they are of different grades, why should my sister harm me? ”
"Alas....... what my sister said made my sister feel sad, we are both the emperor's concubines, but my sister is just the emperor and the queen mother's decoration to enrich the harem, and there is no difference from this vase after all." Wang Meiren suddenly complained.
Xue Yi didn't know how to comfort Wang Meiren for a while, she was right, the women in this harem are not as good as vases, and there are still people in vases who change fresh flowers every day, and people may never see the emperor in their lifetime, let alone grace.
Wang Meiren wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a brocade and grinned: "Look at me, did you make my sister unhappy?" ”
Xue Yi shook her head slowly, still very vigilant in her heart, Wang Meiren seemed to see Xue Yi's vigilance, stared at Xue Yi and said: "My sister is a cheerful person, and my sister will not go around in circles, my sister knows that my sister has been looking for the whereabouts of Prime Minister Lan." ”
Xue Yi was shocked, and there was still a faint smile on her beautiful face, smiling without saying a word.
Wang Meiren picked up the tea cup on the table, didn't wait for Xue Yi to speak, and said to herself: "My sister knows that she came abruptly, and my sister doesn't believe my sister, in fact, if it were me, I wouldn't believe my sister, but now I don't want to be left out like this, and I don't want to die in obscurity in the palace, so my sister came to my sister's palace to take a risk." I don't know if my sister is willing to listen to my sister. ”
"Does my sister want me to recommend my sister in front of the emperor?" Xue Yi asked knowingly.
Wang Meiren tilted her head sideways at Xue Yi, and suddenly stood up and sneered for a while: "Since my sister looks down on my sister like this, it's my sister who came, say goodbye!" ”
Wang Meiren staggered, stared at Xue Yi and smiled: "She really didn't say anything wrong, you already knew my secret......." Wang Meiren's voice became smaller and smaller, so small that Xue Yi couldn't hear her muttering anything in the end.
"What? Don't you ask who asked me to come to you for help? Wang Meiren asked Xue Yi with a pair of big eyes. ET
Xue Yi smiled and shook her head slowly: "Didn't you also ask me how I knew that you wanted to leave the palace and leave the emperor?" ”
"Yes, my sister is a smart person, and she naturally sympathizes with my difficulties, it's not that I deliberately hide it, but I don't know the true face and identity of that person, and please believe me." Wang Meiren suddenly grabbed Xue Yi's hand and stared at Xue Yi nervously.
Xue Yi nodded: "I believe in you, but since that person wants you to come to me, he must have taught you, and besides, your parents must have had expectations for you when they sent you to the palace, what do you say?" ”
Wang Meiren has no scruples, she nodded: "Presumably my sister also heard about me, my father is Qinglin Tongju, my mother died early, and soon after my father continued to marry my current mother, at first, my aunt was good to me, but later I had a sister and a younger brother, my aunt regarded me as a thorn in the flesh, and framed me several times, maybe my mother blessed me in the dark, and the nurse who served me since I was a child secretly protected me, and I survived......"
Drops of tears fell on the pink exquisite palace dress, and also wet Xue Yi's eyes, she suddenly remembered her childhood, remembered the small attic, for some reason, Xue Yi suddenly missed the attic and missed her nurse Kou.
However, Xue Yi knew better in her heart that such a woman with a similar background to her might be a trap to lure her to death!
Wang Meiren stabilized her emotions, wiped her tears and glanced at Xue Yi: "Let my sister laugh." ”
"So how did my sister enter the palace? If you have entered the palace, why do you have to leave the palace? Xue Yi asked.
"I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes, my nurse has a son, and the two of us are also childhood sweethearts, but my sister also knows that although we invite Yueguo to attach great importance to the lintel, but the eunuch woman is different. At first, my aunt wanted to give me as a gift to Prime Minister Lan, thinking that my father was seeking an official position in the court, and later when the queen mother chose a concubine for the emperor, my aunt bought off the eunuch and grandmother in the palace, and sent me to the palace in this way. Wang Meiren stopped, she knew that Xue Yi might not believe her words.
Indeed, for Wang Meiren, Xue Yi was half-convinced, she knew a thing or two about the high-grade concubines in the palace when she had never entered the palace, and her origins, personalities, and appearances, not to mention knowing a lot, also knew a lot.
What Wang Meiren said at the moment is exactly the same as Xueyi's understanding, what is different is her dream, in Xueyi's cognition, Wang Meiren is a gentle and kind woman, if those news are true, she should be obedient, what makes her so bold?
Xue Yi meditated.
"I know that my sister won't believe my sister and me for a while, and my sister won't ask my sister to believe in me and help me now." Wang Meiren is really very clever and smart, and her temperament is also very gentle, if ordinary people face suspicion, even if they don't express dissatisfaction, they will be displeased, and she doesn't seem to care at all.
Xue Yi knew that she must have something else to say, so she didn't answer, and sure enough, Wang Meiren continued: "My sister didn't want to plan for herself, but a few days ago, a mysterious person suddenly came to my sister's palace and told my sister that my nurse and her son were entangled in lawsuits, and their lives were not guaranteed, and my sister was in a hurry, so she had to ask her for help, she said that my sister was being imprisoned in the palace and asked me to help, so my sister came to take the liberty of giving it a try today." ”
"What else did the man say?" Xue Yi had to guard against it, in the face of this Wang beauty, she could only observe, neither deny nor admit it.
"She also said that Concubine Xiu in the palace is Niangniang's sworn enemy, and asked me to help Niangniang deal with Concubine Xiu."
"Sister, can you tell me if that person is a man or a woman?" Xue Yi asked suddenly.
Wang Meiren nodded: "Listening to the voice, it should be a woman, because every time she comes to see me, she covers her face with a cloak, and she deliberately suppresses her voice when she speaks, so I can only be sure that she is a woman, and I don't know anything else." ”
Xue Yi nodded: "In that case, in order to gain my trust, she must have taught you." ”
Wang Meiren nodded: "That person asked me to tell my sister: the emperor will definitely not go out of the palace to intercept Princess Lanhe from entering the palace, because Prince Xiao, who went to welcome back the princess, will arrange to take care of everything, and my sister should make the emperor and Concubine Xiu suspicious of each other as soon as possible." ”
Xue Yi's heart moved, at the beginning, she only thought of welcoming back Princess Lan He to expose Emperor Cheng's true face, but she never thought that if Emperor Cheng was really Xiao Yichen, then he and Princess Lan He and Xiao Yu were childhood sweethearts, so Xiao Yichen and Princess Lan He would know every plan to return to the Inviting Moon Country from Feng Wu!
It looks like I miscalculated!
Xue Yi was stunned in place, Wang Meiren got up to say goodbye, she knew that she had to give Xue Yi time, standing at the door, Wang Meiren looked at Xue Yi with some concern and said: "My sister is waiting for my sister's good news, I hope my sister will live up to my sister's trust." ”
Xue Yi nodded: "I already understand my sister's intentions, but if I can help, I will definitely help you." ”
"By the way, that person asked me to send my sister four words: Wei Wei to save Zhao." Wang Meiren turned around and whispered in Xue Yi's ear.
looked at each other, just a look in an instant, which made Xue Yi willing to believe the somewhat haggard woman in front of her.
"Liu Nong, the road is slippery, send Wang Meiren back to the palace." Xue Yi stood at the door, saw that a drizzle began to fall in the sky, and hurriedly ordered Liu Nong to send him off.
Wang Meiren thanked her again and again, insisted on walking back by herself, and Xue Yi was no longer reluctant.
Liu Nong followed Xue Yi into the dormitory: "Niangniang, who is that person?" Why are you so eye-catching? ”
Xue Yi looked at Liu Nong and said meaningfully: "She is the Wang beauty of Qingning Palace, because she has no bed, and the emperor has never summoned her, so we haven't seen her." ”
"Since she hasn't seen it, what is she doing when she comes to find her mother?" Liu Nong handed Xue Yi a cup of tea and asked curiously.
Xue Yi glanced at Liu Nong and said, "Calculate the time, it's time for Prince Xiao to return to the court, and I don't know if Princess Lanhe has returned?" ”
Xue Yi's eyes glanced at the gray sky, waiting was the most tormenting.
Because there is a glimmer of anticipation.
Two days have passed, and the palace seems to have returned to its former peace, but the Queen Mother was sad because of the violent death of Concubine Rou, so she lingered on the sickbed, and the concubines in each palace asked for greetings from time to time, and Xue Yi always cooked in person, made some delicious meals and sent them to Shouning Palace in person, but never went in to visit the Queen Mother.
Early in the morning, Xue Yi got up early to cook a few dishes that the Queen Mother was proud of, came to Shouning Palace alone, and handed the food box to the Queen Mother's personal mother.
"Concubine Xue, you come to deliver food in person every morning, why don't you go in and meet the Queen Mother? Maybe the misunderstanding between the Queen Mother and the Mother will be resolved. Mama was obviously touched by Xue Yi's sincerity.
Xue Yi smiled and shook her head: "Thank you Mama for your kindness, it's just that the Queen Mother's jade body is not in harmony, her old man already looks at the palace unpleasantly, if the palace goes to explain at this time, it doesn't have to please the Queen Mother's troubles, let's talk about it after a while." ”
Xue Yi retired and walked alone in the direction of the imperial study, she had not heard of becoming an emperor for three or four days.
On the rockery, Emperor Cheng stood under the tree in apricot-yellow clothes, looking at Xue Yi's back and pondering.
"You are also infatuated with her, but Luohua is deliberately ruthless, and what people are thinking about is just Prime Minister Lan and Prince Yu." Concubine Xiu's voice was a little sour, a little jealous
