Chapter 11: Rumors
There are rumors in the palace that the crown princess is jealous and domineering, and the prince is pampered and connived. The newly sealed side concubine was born in a famous family but was given a side house, and the princess's mother's family was defeated and protected by the prince.
"It is rumored in the palace that the princess is pampered and arrogant, and the slaves and maids can't listen to it." Yingfu stood beside Mu Yunqi, grinding Yan and complaining.
"Okay, this palace doesn't mind, so why bother yourself." Mu Yunqi said casually, with a beautiful face that looked indifferent.
She held on to the wolf pen, and wrote a row of juanxiu small letters on the snow-white rice paper: Lin Shenren will pay attention to it.
With a slightly melancholy face, he looked at the window lattice in a daze, and a drop of ink fell on the paper, quickly blurring and leaving black spots on the rice paper.
Seeing this, Yingfu called her softly, she came back to her senses when she heard the voice, and asked softly, "How is the matter that asked you to inquire?" ”
"The slave maid sent people to check the villa for dozens of miles near the forest, but there is no palace villa." Yingfu looked at her and said.
"Maybe he didn't even tell the truth about his surname." Mu Yunqi muttered, his heart dull and depressed.
She picked up the rice paper, crumpled it, and threw it on the desk, and the paper rolled down into the wool carpet in the inner room.
There was a commotion outside the door, Mu Yunqi frowned in displeasure, and asked sharply, "What's the noise?" ”
A maid bowed her head and walked in: "Back to the crown princess, Concubine Xian led the maidservant to ask to see." ”
After hearing this, Yingfu raised her voice and said: "She still dares to come, how can she start too lightly today, and she won't have a long memory." ”
Mu Yunqi glanced at her, "What's the matter?" ”
She bowed her head and said: "At noon today, I heard Concubine Xian's personal maid chewing the root of her tongue with the maid of the flower room, saying that your brother was trying to rebel, that you would be deposed sooner or later, and that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was bewitched by you. Speaking of the back, her voice became smaller and smaller.
"Clean up, Concubine Chuanxian comes in." Mu Yunqi glanced at her and didn't blame her.
Yingfu immediately picked up the paper ball on the ground and put it on the carbon basin, and only walked to the door after seeing that it was burned to ashes, she looked at the woman standing at the door, waved her hand and said fiercely: "Please." ”
Mu Yunqi walked out from behind the desk and sat down on the soft couch with the square table, she looked at the woman who came in with a cold gaze.
"The concubine has seen the crown princess." Xie Xianjin gave a light salute and got up and sat down on his own. Then he looked at Mu Yunqi and said with a flamboyant expression: "The crown princess is so indulgent to the maidservant? ”
"Bengong has always been irritable, and the people around him have followed Bengong. How can you make the side concubine unhappy? She was smiling and haughty, and did not take her unreasonableness to heart.
Xie Xianjin sounded extremely harsh to the side concubine in her mouth, her family background was illustrious and famous, but she was pressed by the daughter of a military general, and she felt uneasy every time she thought about it.
"The concubine's maid was also married, and she was wrapped in her hands by the princess's maid in front of everyone, is the princess so understated?" He married into the East Palace, from the time he lived in the side hall to the wedding night, when the prince left that night, he went to the Snow Dumping Hall every day, and he was thoughtful about everything Mu Yunqi, and he didn't give himself face at all, so that he was ridiculed. Although the family is prominent, he is not half proud in front of the woman in front of him.
The corners of Mu Yunqi's mouth hooked up, she got up and slowly walked to Xie Xianjin, and then walked to the maid beside her.
"The maid of this palace just slapped you, and she has already given you enough face." After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked back to the soft couch and sat down.
Xie Xianjin's face was pale, and he got up and looked at her: "The crown princess is so protective, the concubine has to beg the prince to be the master." After saying that, he led the maid to leave angrily.
Mu Yunqi looked at her departing back and sneered.
Xie Xianjin pear blossom knelt in the study of the East Palace with rain, and the maid behind her bowed her head and was silent, but the palm print was clearly visible on her face.
Gu Hanxuan sat in front of the bookcase and said impatiently: "The princess's maid takes care of the princess's internal affairs in the East Palace, your maid must be punished for her mistakes, and this matter is also worth your trouble with the princess?" He raised his tone and scolded coldly.
Xie Xianjin kowtowed and said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, the concubine maid and the maid of the flower room talked, but Yingfu stepped forward and slapped the concubine maid without saying a word, and then walked away." The concubine didn't dare to say it to herself, but it was the concubine who saw the palm print on her face and asked her that she told the truth. ”
"What did you say to the maid of the flower room?" Gu Hanxuan looked at the maid behind her and asked.
The bodies of the two kneeling on the ground trembled, and Gu Hanxuan's face was gloomy, exuding a majestic momentum, which made people's hearts chill.
"Cheng Huan...," he got up and shouted, then walked to the window lattice and stood up, looking out of the window lattice and saying nothing.
Cheng Huan nodded in agreement and immediately walked out of the hall.
Xie Xianjin was worried in her heart at the moment, she didn't know what would happen if those words reached the prince's ears, she quietly looked back at the maid behind her, and saw that her whole body was trembling and tears flowing, and she couldn't help but glance at her fiercely. She shook her head at her, and the maid nodded tearfully.
Cheng Huan hurriedly entered after a while, walked to Gu Hanxuan's side and whispered.
After he heard this, Huo Ran turned around, his eyes were full of anger, he looked at the woman on the ground, and said fiercely: "Who gave you the courage to put the matter of the beaked princess?" ”
"Your Highness has clearly investigated, the concubine and the maid have not..."She looked at his cold face and didn't dare to refute anymore, such a cold and unparalleled face only made her feel hateful and didn't dare to say more.
"The side concubine misbehaved and was grounded for three months." He looked at the maid behind her: "Kill with a cane, throw it to a mass grave." ”
"The prince spares his life, the slave and maid don't dare anymore, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, and beg His Royal Highness the prince to let the slave and maid go." She hurriedly begged for mercy, her face terrified.
Cheng Huan called someone to drag her out, and her pleas for mercy came from outside the room. Xie Xianjin looked panicked and knelt on the ground in a daze, shocked by his inemotion in his heart.
Gu Hanxuan walked past her indifferently and walked out of the room. He walked into the Snow Falling Hall and saw Mu Yunqi sitting in front of the table, holding a pen.
He approached softly, waved at Yingfu, and signaled for her not to make a sound.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." She ignored his gesture and said hello.
Gu Hanxuan looked at her with some annoyance, as if he was blaming.
Mu Yunqi came back to her senses when she heard this, and she hurriedly walked out from behind the desk with a chuckle.
"Concubine Xian has gone to His Highness?" She walked to the soft couch and sat down, looked at Gu Hanxuan and asked.
Gu Hanxuan stepped to the desk, glanced at the rice paper on the table, and walked to sit down opposite her.
"It's Chinese New Year's Eve in a while, do you still have anything to buy?" He diverted from his words, not wanting to mention the annoyance.
"There is everything in the palace, why bother His Highness?" She asked, looking at him.
"The father and emperor are seriously ill, and there is no extravagance in the palace, and Chinese New Year's Eve needs to pray for him, and the outside of the first palace may be lively." He said with a smile.
She really looked happy, and said with a hot gaze: "What does Your Highness mean by this, you can leave the palace on the first day of the new year?" ”
Gu Hanxuan smiled at her doting and nodded.
Mu Yunqi looked at it slightly, not knowing what he meant. Thinking that there are no relatives outside the palace, the third brother is far away at the border, and now he is in a difficult situation and cannot return to the court. Her face turned sad and worried, and she raised a far-fetched smile and said: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, there are no concubines outside the palace to worry about, and I don't want to see that excitement to arouse my thoughts." ”
Gu Hanxuan's heart tightened, and he felt distressed for her melancholy words. "Well, if you don't want to, you won't go."
The two were silent, and the room was silent for a while, and Yingfu looked down and recalled that the prince had seen the words on the paper, and had a headache.
Gu Hanxuan picked up the teacup, lifted the lid of the cup and drank it, only to find that the tea was cold, so he took a sip of cold tea.
"This palace sees that you are reading a lot of books on weekdays, what kind of books are they?" He got up and walked over to the table.
Mu Yunqi got up and walked over, leading him to the bookshelf, Yu Guang glanced at Yingfu, and Yingfu gestured to his eyes. Seeing him face the bookshelf to pick up the book, Yingfu quickly removed a layer of rice paper from the book table, turned around and walked out of the room.
He took out a copy of "Liutao" from the bookshelf and flipped through it: "You are all military books. ”
"Since I was a child, I listened to my father and brother talk about the battlefield, so I was more interested in the art of war." She said lightly, her tone unpredictable.
"How can this palace think that marrying not a woman, but a general." He laughed, a playful look on his face.
Mu Yunqi glanced at him, pursed his lips and chuckled, and smiled at the corners of his eyes. "Your Highness thinks that the concubines are inferior to women?"
Gu Hanxuan put down the book, looked at her and looked her up and down, and said solemnly: "If you talk about appearance, you are unparalleled in the world, if you talk about your posture, you can be regarded as graceful and moving, your talent is amazing, and your skills are extraordinary." Today, there is only you, who can be compared to this palace. ”
Mu Yunqi was unhappy with his words, turned around, and asked in a cold voice, "These are the original intentions of His Royal Highness to ask the emperor for marriage?" She walked away with a brisk step.
Gu Hanxuan couldn't help laughing, back then, in the General's Mansion, she waved her hand in the snow, with an innocent smile on her face, and after she woke up, she threw a glance in that hurry, and since then she has never been able to erase that scene from her heart. A glimpse of the sky, shaking the world in the heart, eternal and eternal.
He looked at the rice paper on the table, and there was no writing. The center was helpless about her moodiness, put back the book, sat down on the desk chair, and took the "Yin and Yang Pulse Sutra" placed aside on the table and opened it to read.
She has the blood of the medical world flowing in her body, and she knows that she knows some pharmacology, so she can see her father's illness at a glance, but why can't she undo the seal on her body, is it that she can't solve it or there is something else hidden.
Gu Hanxuan flipped through a few pages, and found that he was completely puzzled by what was said, so he put the book back in its place and got up to leave.
He stood in the stone pavilion and looked at the dim sky and cloudless. The cold wind swirled in the courtyard, blowing the bare branches. The icy wind swept around him, chilling his heart with a thick haze.
"Go and find out a person who called Gong Huan, but the person who rescued the crown princess that day?" He said with his back to Nighthawk.
Nighthawk nodded and retreated, and since the crown princess came back from the palace, she was always moody, always sympathetic and contemplative. Even he could perceive her sadness and thoughts, not to mention the prince, who was completely focused on her, how could he not see her changes, and he couldn't help but feel resentment at the master's sadness in his heart, and the silence retreated.
In the Rihui Palace, Gu Jingyun was lying on the couch with his eyes closed in pain, and he waved his hand at the queen: "Huiyang, I know my illness, don't worry about it anymore." ”
The queen sat on the edge of the couch and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine's father and the emperor have sent a letter saying that Bai Shenyi can be found to come, and he has had a relationship with Bai Zhuo. ”
"When NATO attacked Linchao, Bai Zhuo's daughter died in this battle, how could he save the person who killed his daughter." Gu Jingyun said weakly, he was suffering from a heart disease, and the heart medicine had passed away, how could there be a solution.
The queen burst into tears, how could she not know what Gu Jingyun said, she Xin Huiyang was born as a princess, and she has always been arrogant since she was a child. After marrying NATO that year, he gave birth to a son-in-law as a prince.
She was born noble, blessed by her mother's family, has a stable postposition, favors the harem, has an excellent son-in-law, and is an emperor. But she never entered the heart of the person she loved all her life, and the woman who she couldn't even see but let her lose was defeated, and she was completely beaten to the skin.
Gu Jingyun stretched out his hand with difficulty to wipe away the tears on her face, he choked up a little, and said guiltily: "Okay, the dignified queen is crying like this, without the authority of the queen, how can no one laugh at it." ”
"This palace will see who dares." She shouted, holding back her tears, sensing his thoughts, and laughing as if to reassure him.
Gu Jingyun smiled knowingly, he owed her after all in this life.
If the love is not gone, hold hands and look at the side.
