Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sowing Discord
That night, Bai Mingnuan, who stayed in the side hall of Qingyun Pavilion, refreshed himself after bathing, and changed into a brightly colored Luo skirt, and Fan Dai Bo Shi made her face even more beautiful.
The two maids who served her were both from Qingyun Pavilion, but they were not Bai Muguan's henchmen, Bai Mingnuan easily bought them with two golden hairpins. One stayed to let the door out, and the other quietly took her to the Autumn Water Pavilion.
Yes, Bai Mingnuan thought about it all day and decided to put his mind on Ye Shiying. She didn't believe that Ye Shiying was indifferent because she cared about the so-called cousin love and saw Bai Muguan snatching her husband? These days, she thinks very clearly, she doesn't want to marry an ordinary official eunuch's son, with Bai Zhanjun's official position in the capital, even if she is lucky enough to marry into the noble mansion, she can only marry a concubine, or marry into a low-level official's family. What's more, the person she likes is Yu Wenye, she must marry into the East Palace, so that she has the time to fly on the branches, so even if she fights for her life tonight.
When she came to Qiushui Pavilion with apprehension and more interest, Ye Shiying seemed to be waiting for her on purpose, sitting in the inner hall.
"Say hello to the crown princess." Bai Mingnuan saluted and stood up, and looked up at the crown princess carefully. At night, the soft palace lamps sprinkled on her contoured face, which was three points more beautiful than the daytime.
Ye Shiying smiled lightly and asked, "Miss Bai came late at night, I don't know what to do?" ”
Sure enough, the man came.
"It's getting late, and the courtiers come to disturb the princess, which is really not right. However, if there is a matter that is not told the truth, the courtiers will be uneasy all day long. As she spoke, Bai Mingnuan showed guilt at the right time.
"What's the matter? You might as well put it bluntly. Ye Shiying seemed to be interested, and asked suspiciously.
Bai Mingnuan glanced at the maids in the hall, and said, "It's about cousin Guan's reputation, and I ask the princess to retreat." ”
Ye Shiying did not doubt him, and hurriedly ordered Haoyue and the others to retreat first.
"Can you say it now?"
"That's it." Bai Mingnuan took a deep breath and opened his mouth cautiously, "Crown Princess, you treat your cousin Guan very well, pity her alone in the capital, and take her to live in the East Palace." Who knew that she was not grateful, and even seduced His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind her back, openly flattering her cousin-in-law. The courtiers were cousins with her, and were deeply ashamed of what she had done. ”
After saying this, Bai Mingnuan inexplicably felt his heart tighten, and cold sweat broke out in his palms. She obviously shouldn't feel guilty or afraid, she didn't slander Bai Muguan nonsense, they did have a private relationship. She just ruthlessly disregarded her cousin's closest relatives and blood, regardless of the same surname, and secretly sowed discord between Bai Muguan and Ye Shiying, and that's it.
She firmly believes that as long as Ye Shiying learns about their private relationship, she will definitely not let Bai Muguan go, her cousin will turn against her, and she, a bystander, will reap the benefits. At the same time, she can also find an opportunity to get close to Yu Wenye in order to achieve her goals. Her mother was right, Bai Muguan refused to help her, so she could only rely on her own ability.
Ye Shiying fell silent, and was silent for a long time before she said coldly: "You have to talk nonsense and slander Mu Guan, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!" ”
Even if she knew that Bai Muguan and Yu Wenye were in love, she didn't care about him at all, but when she heard Bai Mingnuan's provocative evil words just now, she was still shocked in her heart. She didn't care about this noble husband, but Bai Mingnuan's words indirectly humiliated her, and she cared.
"The courtiers don't dare to speak falsely." Bai Mingnuan showed fear on his face, but he was secretly proud in his heart, according to this, it seemed that Ye Shiying believed it.
"Mu Wan is an official of the imperial court, and his identity is different from other girls. She and His Royal Highness occasionally met in private, and what they discussed was the affairs of the DPRK and China, and even His Majesty knew and agreed. Ye Shiying's expression was faint, and she couldn't distinguish between joy and anger, "You are Mu Wan's cousin, you are connected by the same surname and blood, and you are so inferior to her in front of me, what do you have in mind?" ”
In the last half of the sentence, the words unconsciously revealed a fierceness that was not in the past. At this time, Ye Shiying no longer feels delicate and delicate, and she finally has the majesty that a princess should have.
Bai Mingnuan was stunned, who would dare to say that the crown princess was gentle and weak? This rhetoric is clearly not inferior to Bai Muguan.
"The courtier's words are reckless, and she also asks the princess to forgive her sins." Now Bai Mingnuan's heart is horizontal, and he can only fight with his back to the water, "But the courtiers are also thinking about you wholeheartedly, Your Royal Highness is in the East Palace, and she is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and she will not be able to accept a concubine in the future." You are virtuous and virtuous, so naturally you will not be upset by this. But Cousin Guan is your cousin after all, and if she is included in the East Palace in the future, I am afraid that you will lose face. ”
In the past, she would never dare to say these words, and she would not dare to borrow a hundred dares. But now is different from the past, Bai Muguan's daring to say and dare to fall in love with Prince Bolai, why can't she dare to try it? Obviously, she ignored it, she didn't have Bai Muguan's capital at all......
"You and she are cousins, and we have never known each other in our lives, why do you think so much about me?" Ye Shiying bit the word "thoughts", and her autumn eyes rose slightly.
"The courtiers don't dare to deceive the princess, the courtiers do have selfish thoughts, because ......" Bai Mingnuan was shy, lowered his head and whispered, "Because the courtiers love His Royal Highness the Prince, if the princess is willing to help the courtiers, the courtiers will definitely look at you in the future." ”
Yes, I finally waited until she confessed her mind.
Ye Shiying suddenly slapped the table, got up angrily, and scolded sharply: "Lord Bai is so educated, you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, you dare to recommend a pillow seat when you open your mouth and close your mouth, you really don't know shame!" ”
Frankly speaking, she despises a woman like Bai Mingnuan, who has no reserve of everyone's ladies, and is greedy for glory and wealth to the point of shamelessness. is also a woman, Ye Shiying felt extremely disgusted.
For Bai Mingnuan, she felt very aggrieved. Although she was selfish, she asked to see Ye Shiying tonight with the intention of surrendering, thinking that a little provocation in front of the facts would be enough, but she never thought that she would annoy Ye Shiying.
Ye Shiying called Haoyue in, and immediately ordered: "You send her back immediately, and then tell Lord and Mrs. Bai exactly what she said to me tonight." ”
Haoyue respectfully responded, turned around and ordered two tall and stout grandmothers to come in and "help" Bai Mingnuan out.
Bai Mingnuan, who had never seen such a battle, was so frightened that tears rained down, but she was taken away before she had time to say anything more.
Silence was restored in the hall, the candlesticks placed on the tables were bright, and the hexagonal sheepskin palace lamps hanging from the roof were as bright as day.
After making sure that there was no movement outside, Ye Shiying suddenly spoke: "Come out." ”
Soon, a slender figure walked out slowly from behind the screen, it was Bai Muguan.
The girl made a salute: "There is Sister Lao tonight." She smiled as usual, but her tone was a little detached.
"Have you taken a closer look at the picture of the mandarin duck I gave you today? Mandarin ducks are two affectionate birds, the ancients played in the water and enjoyed each other, as long as you find your wish, no matter who he is, I sincerely bless you. With that, Ye Shiying breathed a long sigh of relief and suddenly held her hand.
Bai Muguan was grasped by her slightly cool hand, and she was both moved and a little guilty in her heart, and nodded and left politely for a while.
