These days, the palace is extremely clean. After Qi Ying finished breakfast, he took a few people out of the Changsui Courtyard and wandered around the garden in the mansion. happened to meet Mrs. Fang and Fifth Miss Chu Yuyu in the garden, and the three of them found a pavilion to sit down and chat.

"I haven't seen the princess for a long time, I heard that I was infected with wind and cold two days ago, but it is better?" Mrs. Fang looked Qi Ying up and down for a moment, and asked softly.

"Mrs. Labor cares, much better."

"That's good! It's a pity that I missed the autumn hunt. ”

"It's the same if you have the opportunity to go again next year, but why doesn't Mrs. Fang take her fifth sister to be lively?"

"The princess laughed, how can I go to such an occasion."

With Princess Yi Shuwan here, they rarely have the opportunity to attend the banquet as concubines, especially people like her and Mrs. Gong who have no sons to rely on, and King Su will not take the initiative to take them out.

Qi Ying smiled and turned her head to look at Chu Yuyu, "The fifth sister is also fifteen years old, right?" Can you allow someone? ”

Suddenly, hearing Qi Ying ask, Chu Yuyu lowered her head shyly, her face flushed.

Seeing that her daughter was full of shyness, Mrs. Fang was embarrassed to answer, so she said, "The princess made the decision to promise a family before. ”

Qi Ying saw Chu Yuya's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but make fun.

"What kind of people are they? The fifth sister is both talented and beautiful, well-behaved and lovely, and the person who can match the fifth sister must be extraordinary. ”

Mrs. Gong's phoenix eyes gradually faded, and she sighed helplessly, and said: "Yu'er was born and raised under my knees, and I don't dare to ask for anything with a prominent family background and good looks, but I want to find someone who will cherish Yu'er and can take care of the stability of the family." At that time, after the princess made the decision to talk about that family, I asked someone to investigate, and the family background was not bad, but that person had a lot of romances, how could he live a stable life, every time I think of it, I feel uneasy! ”

"Mother don't worry, Yu'er will go to the princess and beg her to withdraw from this marriage, but Yu'er will not marry in this life, and stay at home with her mother."

"What nonsense, since ancient times, women should marry, how can they say that if they don't marry, they won't marry! Besides, the princess has always been the same, how can she easily withdraw from the marriage for you? It's just that it's useless to talk too much, just leave it to fate. As she spoke, Mrs. Fang sighed deeply again.

Qi Ying saw that Mrs. Fang's mother and daughter were sad for a while, so she said some reassuring words and changed the topic, and soon the three of them chatted about other things.

While he was talking and laughing, a maid came over to pass the word, saying that something had happened to the palace lady and wanted to invite Qi Ying to come over and take a look. Qi Ying pondered for a moment, and invited Mrs. Fang to go with him.

When I arrived at Mrs. Gong's place, I saw a woman kneeling in the inner hall of her bedroom, bowing her head and crying and begging for mercy.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fang hurriedly asked, "What's going on, if my sister is so angry?" ”

"This Cai family has managed my treasury for many years, I didn't think it was a dirty hand and foot, if I hadn't asked An Qiao to find the jade bracelet for Yan'er yesterday, I wouldn't know that I lost something in the warehouse!" While speaking, Mrs. Gong glared at Cai fiercely, "You still dare to shout injustice?" The treasury is in your care, and the lost things are found in your box, and you lock and hide the box, as well as your good sister You's head, which is not in my treasury, you are not guarding and stealing it, is it that it went on its own feet? ”

You Shi was also beside her at this time, watching Mrs. Gong teach Cai's lesson, but her face was not afraid, she claimed that the pair of hairpins was given to her by Cai, she thought that Cai's own had accepted it, and Cai's theft was not as guilty as her. What's more, You Shi is Princess Su's maid, and the palace lady can't help her, but just asks people to take back the pair of hairpins.

"Since your hands and feet are not clean, why don't you go to the firewood room first, and wait for the princess to come back before you leave?" Qi Ying said to Mrs. Gong, turned her head to look at You Shi again, and continued: "There is also You Shi, although the pair of hairpins are from Cai's family, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of conspiracy, why don't you lock them up together first, wait for the investigation to be clear, if she is really innocent, it is better to return her innocence?" ”

After listening to what Qi Ying said, Mrs. Fang nodded in agreement, "This is reasonable, the princess has not been in the mansion for the past few days, and it is not easy for us to make decisions on such important matters, so we can only wait for the princess to return before we can do it." ”

"Since the princess and Mrs. Fang both said so, then do it! Come, take the two of them down......" Madam Gong summoned four maids and prepared to bring the Cai family and the You family down.

"Wait" You Shi broke free from the restraints of the two maids and said urgently: "I am the princess's maid of dowry, I have done nothing wrong, you can't detain me." ”

Qi Ying glanced at You Shi, then looked at Mrs. Gong and Mrs. Fang, and saw that the two of them didn't speak, so she said again: "Since it is the princess's maid to marry, we don't bother to ask, so let's let it go for the time being, presumably the princess will inquire after she comes back, what do the two ladies think?" ”

"What the princess said is that the princess's dowry maid naturally has to be inquired by the princess herself......" Mrs. Fang nodded in agreement with Qi Ying's statement and replied.

Madame Gong nodded, and waved her hand to signal the two maids to let You Shi go.
