Chapter 71: Asking for help
The gate of the Wei Palace.
Peach Blossom hesitated and lingered in front of the door for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to step forward and report to the guards at the door.
But before she could speak, the guard at the door shouted fiercely: "What are you doing! Don't you see that the palace is not allowed to trespass? ”
"I, I have something important to ask to see the princess, please ask the two eldest brothers to pass it on on my behalf."
"Get out! My princess is so noble, how can a poor person like you see it if he wants to! ”
Peach Blossom stepped forward and said, "I really have something important to see the princess and report it in person." I'm not a pauper, I'm a maid in the mansion of Lord Liuyuan of Dali Temple, I know the princess, please pass it on, and say that the slave and maid Peach Blossom came on the orders of the lady......"
"There are more people like you who ask to see my princess every day, and my princess is still busy if she wants to see them one by one! Get lost! ”
Without waiting for Peach Blossom to finish speaking, the guard directly drew his sword, "If you don't get out again, we're welcome!" ”
Peach blossom retreated timidly, and fell because she was afraid.
She scrambled to her feet, clutching the corners of her clothes, resisting the urge to step forward again.
Madam, there are no good people in this palace, and the princess is not a good person.
How can you trust the princess to help you?
Peach Blossom lifted the corner of her skirt and turned to leave, looking at her appearance, she seemed to have a plan in her heart.
Not long after the peach blossoms left, the woman in the dark red pleated skirt walked out of the palace, it was Yao Ziyan's maid, Cai Wei.
When several guards saw her, they all showed flattering faces, "Sister Caiwei, scare that person away according to your wishes." ”
"Thank you." Cai Wei smiled, took out a bag of silver taels from her sleeve, and put it in the hands of the guards at the head: "A little meaning, let the brothers take it to the bar." Nobody has been here today, and you haven't seen anything, you know? ”
"Yes, yes, no one came, we didn't see anything. Thank you, Sister Caiwei, for inviting the brothers to drink. The guards smiled.
Cai Wei smiled, glanced at the direction where Peach Blossom left, and there was a deep meaning hidden in her eyes, and turned around and went back to the palace.
She knows the princess's temperament better than anyone else.
The princess's heart is ruthless and kills without blinking, and she understands it better than anyone else.
Peach Blossom does not see the princess, and Mrs. Liu may be able to come back alive after a few years of exile; If she is allowed to see the princess, Mrs. Liu is afraid that she will die soon.
After leaving the Wei Palace, Peach Blossom wandered the streets.
Back in Liufu, there is no place for her in Liufu; If it weren't for Madame, she wouldn't have gone back; went to Jing Zhaoyin's prison, and she didn't see her wife.
Today there is a market, and the market is full of people, but she has no one to rely on.
In a trance, she bumped into someone.
stopped to apologize, but heard the man call her: "Sister Peach Blossom." ”
Invite the phoenix palace.
After Xiao Ruyue had lunch, she was dragged by Yu Wenhe to take a nap together.
A certain gentleman came back because of his important minister, Yue Xiang, and he seemed to feel that he had nothing to do, and immediately relaxed his political affairs.
The fact that it took an hour to take a nap is enough to justify it.
Usually he is reluctant to sleep for half an hour.
When Xiao Ruyue woke up, Yu Wenhe had already left.
He asked Yinlin to spread the word that Prime Minister Yue had several ministers enter the palace, and he went to the imperial study to discuss politics.
Xiao Ruyue nodded to indicate that she understood, and got up lazily, not even bothering to dress up.
asked Yinlin to casually pull her hair in a bun, insert a jasper hairpin, and only wear a plain regular clothes that can't be more plain, and that's it.
Although it is plain and simple, and the powder is not applied, Xiao Ruyue's palm-sized goose egg face is not lost to the woman who is greased and powdered.
On the contrary, her fair skin does not need to be embellished with fat powder, the white is translucent and red, and her watery eyes are clear and translucent, clear and clean.
This dress makes her a little more in-can-eat of fireworks in the world.
"Niangniang, you can't dress up so plainly even in your own palace, show it to others, and I don't know how many unpleasant things to say Niangniang, the princess of Dongling, can't afford to dress up poorly." Seeing her dressed up like this, Green Yi hurriedly took out the jewelry in the makeup box to insert it for her.
"What others like to say is their business, their mouths grow on others, and we can still control what they say." Xiao Ruyue pulled down the hand of the green cloth unhurriedly, "You can't do what you want in your own land, what's the point of living." ”
Green Yi was speechless, and glanced at Yinlin, "Sister Yinlin, look at Niangniang." ”
Yinlin waved his hand, to the effect that you have followed Niangniang longer than me, and you should know Niangniang's temperament better than me.
Green clothes foiled.
I don't know if Niangniang suffered too much in the palace before, but now that she has brocade clothes and food, she is too lazy to dress up.
However, who called the mother to be born beautiful and difficult to give up, even if she doesn't apply powder and doesn't dress up, she is a mess of beauty, which is unattainable.
Compared with that Ye Guifei and Princess Wei who only dared to see people after applying fat powder all over their faces, Niangniang is naturally too beautiful!
Thinking of this, Green gave up.
She also had a sense of pride and achievement, and said happily, "Niangniang is more beautiful than others if she doesn't dress up." ”
"You're beautiful too." Xiao Ruyue didn't forget to tease her.
Just as she was talking and laughing, Caiyin ran in from outside and said, "Niangniang, Miss Ripple entered the palace to ask to see you." ”
Ripples?
Xiao Ruyue's smile paused.
Didn't she let her take care of Jing Yu in the Xiao Mansion? How did you get into the palace?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ruyue stood up and ordered, "Pass." ”
When Xiao Ruyue came out to the main hall, he saw two women kneeling in the hall. One is not wearing the costume of a palace maid, like the dress of an official eunuch.
She fell to her knees, her body shaking.
Beside her, another person was clearly a ripple.
Xiao Ruyue frowned slightly, sat down, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"The Queen." Ripples lifted up happily when they heard the sound.
The woman next to her, who had been trembling, also raised her head, isn't this the peach blossom who went to Princess Wei to see Yao Ziyan?
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, please save my wife!" Peach Blossom cried and shouted when she saw Xiao Ruyue, tears coming out of her eyes.
"Are you ......" Xiao Ruyue hesitated, a little unable to understand the situation in front of her.
"Queen Mother, she is the personal maid of the wife of Lord Qing Liu of Dali Temple." Ripple said hurriedly.
It turned out to be the personal maid of Mrs. Liu's wife.
It's not that Jing Yu has an accident.
Xiao Ruyue's brows stretched suddenly, and she looked at Ripples expressionlessly, "Ripples, this palace asked you to take care of Xiao Shangshu in Xiao Mansion, why did you run into the palace?" But Xiao Shangshu has a condition? ”
"No, it's not, Lord Xiao is fine, my lord has nothing to do!"
"Lord Xiao is fine, you should also be in the Xiao Mansion." Xiao Ruyue's voice was very cold.
Ripple said: "Back to the queen's mother, Sister Peach Blossom is Mrs. Liu's personal maid, and after Mrs. Liu's accident, Sister Peach Blossom has to find a way to save her master." It just so happened that I went shopping on the street, and then I met Sister Peach. ”
"Oh? Meet in the water, draw a knife to help? ”
"No, no. Ripples is my fellow countryman. The queen mother, I begged the ripples to take me into the palace with a dead face, Niangniang, my wife is going to be exiled, and the slave begged Niangniang to raise her noble hand to save my wife's life! ”
Xiao Ruyue's face sank slightly, "Liu Cai's family harmed others and herself, Xiao Shangshu was framed by her to have the disaster of imprisonment and the suffering of being infected, and she deserved to be exiled." Jing Zhaoyin's verdict has been handed down, no one wants to kill her head, how can she save her life? ”
"Queen Mother, the slave maid heard the master say that he wanted to find someone to deal with the lady halfway!" Peach Blossom blurted out in a hurry, her tears couldn't be controlled, and she fell in a hurry.
"My wife has been married to my lord for so many years, and he doesn't care about the friendship between husband and wife at all, and says that his wife has made him lose face...... I don't dare to tell Madame about this, Queen Mother, you must save my Madame, she is just too stupid. ”
Speaking of which, Xiao Ruyue's face was half darker, "What the hell is going on, you and Bengong will talk about it in detail." ”
Peach Blossom looked left and right, and Xiao Ruyue said: "Don't worry, there are no outsiders here, you can rest assured." ”
After getting Xiao Ruyue's assurance, Peach Blossom choked up, and relayed everything she heard in Liufu while crying, and also told Mrs. Liu to ask her to go to King Wei's Mansion to find Wufeng for help, as well as the story of Liu Yuan and Mrs. Liu back then.
Liu Yuan was just a poor scholar back then, and by marrying the daughter of the Cai family, which is today's Cai family, he became a famous family and rose to prominence, but after he became famous, he disliked his bad wife, unscrupulously took concubines, and ignored his wife.
Liu Cai's family gradually gave up on herself, and the originally gentle woman became more and more jealous and lost herself, which evolved into today's situation.
Up to now, Liu Cai's family has made Liu Yuan lose face, and Liu Yuan has no mercy for Liu's wife Cai. This wife was undoubtedly a stumbling block for him. But because of the status of the Cai family, he didn't dare to divorce his wife.
Since ancient times, women have a low status, and it is natural for husbands to take concubines. Therefore, as long as Liu Cai's family is Liu Yuan's wife one day, he will not care how many concubines he takes, but once he divorces his wife, he will lose the face of the Cai family, and the Cai family will definitely not take a break with him.
Since it must be eliminated and the Cai family cannot be allowed to make trouble, the best way is to take the opportunity to solve it on the way to Cai's exile, and she can also prevaricate that her body could not bear the hardships of exile and died violently on the way.
At that time, as soon as Cai died, he lived his good life, and no one was in charge.
"God doesn't know the ghost. Good strategy. Xiao Ruyue sneered, "He wants to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, it's really ruthless!" ”
"Queen Mother, please save my wife, my lord...... No, Yanagihara doesn't have a heart at all! My young lady did something wrong, and she deserved to be exiled, but because that Yanagihara has already suffered so much, she can't lose her life anymore. Queen Mother, please save my wife! Peach Blossom is here to kowtow to you! ”
Peach Blossom said kowtow and kowtowed, and snorted her head on the ground desperately, and the movement was louder than the other, and everyone could hear the sound of grabbing the ground with her head.
