Chapter 37: Secret Conversations

Autumn is crisp, and it is the time of the year's harvest. The annual autumn hunting activity in Beiyuan is arranged on these days, and all the important ministers of the royal family can bring their families to participate. King Su went with the princess, the side concubine, Mrs. Qi, Chu Yuya and several princes, and Qi Ying was supposed to go with Chu Yanxu, but because of the occasional cold on the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he couldn't go. This made Yi Siqian happy, and she yelled and followed Chu Yanxu.

The Tulip House in Xinjue Courtyard has been uninhabited since the last time Yi Siqian, but Qi Ying is also often taken care of, although it is not popular, it is a rare and quiet place.

At this time, Qi Ying was boiling water to cook tea, and wisps of hot air filled the air with the fragrance of tea.

"When I arrived at the door, I smelled a burst of fragrance, thinking that it was the fragrance of flowers wafting from somewhere, it turned out that the princess was making tea!"

At the same time as the voice sounded, a figure flickered by the screen, and it was the palace lady who stepped on the lotus flower and came slowly.

"Madam Gong, please take a seat!" Glancing at Mrs. Gong, Qi Ying placed a teacup opposite and poured hot tea, "It's a rare opportunity to entertain Mrs. Gong, and I specially brew a pot of flower tea, I hope Mrs. Gong likes it!" ”

Mrs. Gong raised the teacup and took a sip gently, smiling very strongly, and said: "I also loved flower tea when I was young, and today I drank the flower tea brewed by the princess, and I know what it is" tooth and cheek fragrance'!" ”

Qi Ying smiled, picked up the teapot and refilled Mrs. Gong's teacup, and said, "If Mrs. Gong likes it, it's fine!" ”

"Tea is good tea, but the princess invited me not just to invite me to tea, right?"

"Of course, it's rare to be quiet today, and I want to have a good conversation with Mrs. Gong." Qi Ying took a sip of tea without hurrying, "Why don't we talk about the ballad of loneliness?" ”

The look of surprise on Madam Gong's face flickered, "What kind of ballad?" I don't understand. ”

"Mrs. Gong not only understands, but also can play!" Qi Ying's black eyes looked directly at Madam Gong, and his words were straightforward.

"Where did you hear this nonsense? How do you think I can play that lonely song? ”

"Of course, I listened to the song played by the palace lady, such as the one played on the night of the Midyear Festival."

Mrs. Gong's expression changed suddenly: "Can you actually hear a ballad of silence?" Feng Yan looked at Qi Ying half-narrowed, and continued, "Who are you?" ”

"Ordinary people can't hear the ballad, but I can, what does Madam Gong think I am?"

"You're also a member of the Maple Pavilion?"

"Yes and no," Qi Ying replied with a pretended meaning, and said, "Is Lady Gong the one who admits that she is the one who admits that she is the Tilting Maple Pavilion?" ”

Mrs. Gong looked around the room and saw that there was no one around, so she didn't beat around the bush: "So what?" What is the intention of the princess to ask this? ”

"Don't be a brain, Mrs. Gong! Although I have not officially entered the Tilting Maple Pavilion, Le Yi is indeed a disciple of the Tilting Maple Pavilion, and now I am in the Su Wang's Mansion with my wife, which is indeed fateful. In the courtyard of this palace, it seems to be calm and harmless, but it is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, even if they catch someone else's way one day, they don't know it, just like the fifth prince ......"

"Wait, what do you mean by that?"

"Mrs. Gong still thinks that it was only Mrs. Liu who harmed the fifth prince, right? Haven't you thought that this matter has only been turned out after so many years, is there anything strange? ”

"There are all the evidence and material evidence in this matter, is it false?" Madame Gong said.

"What if the witness is more than just a simple witness?"

Madame Gong asked in surprise, "What do you mean?" ”

"Li Yang's daughter was just raised to be the concubine of King Huaijun at that time, do you know this?"

"Of course, even if Qi Yusi asked Li Yang to denounce this matter, it can't change the fact that Liu Ruyan harmed my child."

"Then do you know that Li Yang is the princess?"

After Qi Ying finished speaking, he saw that Madame Gong's eyes were wide open, and she looked at her in disbelief.

"What do you say? ...... Li Yang is the princess's person? ”

"Not only is Li Yang the person next to the princess, but there are also people from the princess around you, and there are people from the princess in every courtyard in the mansion. Therefore, the words of Li Yang's witness are not entirely credible. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Mrs. Gong recalled the whole thing, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

"How can you be sure that Li Yang is the princess's person?" Although Qi Ying's words shocked her, they also made her suspicious.

"Naturally, there is my way, if Mrs. Gong doesn't believe it, you can go and carefully check the Cai family next to you, and you can know whether what I said is true or false."

"Cai? She's been with me for more than ten years! How could it be ?......" Madam Gong was so confused and flustered at this time that she thought about it carefully, and was very puzzled by Qi Ying's motive for suddenly telling her about this, so she asked, "Why did you tell me this?" You are the princess, the princess's daughter-in-law! ”

"Huh! I just said that this is a place that eats people and does not spit out bones, a daughter-in-law who does not like her, and she is the same as her eyes, just think about what happened to me a few days ago. I know that Madame doesn't like to fight, she just wants to live in peace. But this is not a place where we can be safe without fighting, think of your innocent murdered child. Since you and I have the origin of the Tilting Maple Pavilion, why don't we work together to advance and retreat? In the future, I will not be isolated in this palace and let others slaughter! ”

"The princess is also honest in what she said, but please allow me to think about it for two days before replying?"

"It's nature!"

After Mrs. Gong left, Qi Ying got up and walked towards the peach plum garden, at this time the autumn was deep, and the peach and plum garden was full of yellow leaves.
