Chapter 104: Woman, as expected
Qishu.com . The fastest update of the latest chapter of Jiao Niang as a concubine!
"You're distracted." Yi Xuan reminded faintly.
Just now she saw something very complicated in Hu Qingyun's gaze, and she couldn't say it for a while, so she silently observed her from the side.
Hu Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, the concubine was thinking about how to make the next move, and she was distracted when she thought about it, so she asked the princess to forgive her sins." β
After that, she stretched out her slender jade finger, took a chess piece and put it down, without thinking too much.
Then Hu Qingyun seemed to be deliberately hiding his edge, stumbling under chess, and was quickly defeated.
"The concubine lost." Hu Qingyun smiled.
Yi Xuan looked at her with a smile, and said silently for a moment: "You just asked the palace if you have found the murderer." The palace found out that Lu Yingzhi's death was related to the Hu family. β
Hu Qingyun's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she looked very shocked, "When the princess said about the Hu family, is it referring to the concubine's mother's family?" β
Yixuan nodded.
"Impossible!" Hu Qingyun was a little excited: "The Hu family has nothing to do with the Lu family at all, how can they do anything to Lu Gongzi?" There must have been some misunderstanding. β
Hu Qingyun got off the kang, straightened his skirt and knelt down in front of Yixuan, closed his eyes and bowed his head respectfully: "The Hu family is in the capital, only the grandfather, grandmother and mother of the concubine are left, and they have never even seen Lu Gongzi, how can they kill in vain?" The concubine is not excusing her mother's family, but she just hopes that the princess will think carefully and come up with evidence. β
Actually, it's not all.
She also has a younger brother, two younger brothers, and five younger sisters in the capital. Her father also had two brothers who stayed in the capital. There are definitely many descendants of the Hu family.
When she said this, the implication was that there were some old and weak women and children left in the Hu family, and you can't rely on the power of the prince to buckle your hat.
Of course Yixuan understands.
In fact, she was tempting Hu Qingyun, waiting for Hu Qingyun to jump off the wall in a hurry, so she could grab the handle.
It has been a long time since Lu Yingzhi's death, and it is difficult to find evidence. Moreover, Zhao Zhen has always cared for Lu Yingzhi, if she insists on avenging Lu Yingzhi, it will inevitably arouse Zhao Zhen's suspicion.
When she mentioned this, she hinted to Hu Qingyun - the palace knows everything you did, just wait for the palace to clean you up.
Is Hu Qingyun the kind of person who is obediently tied up?
Of course not.
Hu Qingyun will definitely be nervous and anxious, and when she can't hold back and want to do something to her, she can easily subdue this demon.
"Hurry up." Yi Xuan stretched out his hand towards Hu Qingyun and said with a smile: "If this palace really wants to do something, it won't tell you." β
Hu Qingyun glanced at her with palpitations.
Her intuition told her that this woman was not simple.
Hu Qingyun took Yixuan's hand and got up and sat down, at this time, Cao Jun came in with a maid, the maid held a plate of peeled lychee meat in her hand, chilled with crushed ice, and the snow-white lychee meat was piled on it, which was very tempting.
This batch of lychees was transported from Lingnan, and the journey was long, so a total of baskets were obtained. The prince ordered him to send it directly to the princess. Cao Jun didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately handed over a basket of lychees to Shuang'er Girl, and then ordered someone to peel a little first and present it to the princess to taste.
Hu Qingyun's eyes flashed.
As soon as Cao Jun entered the door, he felt that something was not quite right, and then looked at the faces of the princess and Concubine Hu, and knew that there was probably something unpleasant, thinking that this was a big deal, and he would have to report it to the prince later.
"The little one asks for peace for the princess, and for Concubine Hu." Cao Jun smiled and said: "This is the lychee of Lingnan Xingong, and the prince asked me to send it." β
In the past, Yixuan was in the capital, and the price of lychees was expensive, but it was not very rare. Therefore, she didn't take it seriously, nodded and said, "Put it on, there is Chief Lao Cao." β
Cao Jun nodded and bowed.
Yixuan picked up a round lychee meat, and as soon as she bit it, the sweet juice gushed out at once, and it was cold and delicious.
"Eat, you're welcome." Yixuan said to Hu Qingyun.
Hu Qingyun smiled weakly and picked up a piece of lychee meat, but she ate it very tastelessly.
In the past, whenever there was something to pay tribute to the palace, it would be sent to her first, and then she would distribute it to Li Jingyan and You Shi, when would the prince still have the leisure to take care of these?
Sure enough, no matter how rough a man is, when he meets a woman he likes, he will be careless about pleasing her.
Hu Qingyun ate one, her tongue was numb with ice, and she said, "Concubine Li has a good mouthful, call her over." β
Before Cao Jun left the gate of Cuiwei Courtyard, he was stopped by Shuang'er: "Chief Manager Cao waits." β
"What's wrong with the twin girls?"
"Yes. On behalf of the princess, I ask you, when will the prince return home? Shuang'er asked in a low voice.
Cao Jun raised his eyebrows unconsciously. The prince has to ask Xiao Zhongzi every day, and the princess asks if he has not. No, here it is.
"The princess misses the princess?"
"Uh...... Well. Shuang'er looked embarrassed.
"You tell the princess to rest assured, I will send a message to the prince, asking the prince to take the time to go back to the palace." Cao Junxiao's eyes were almost gone.
Cao Jun is the head of the people in this house, and he has a big shelf in private, but he is very polite to Shuang'er. Who told the princess that he liked the princess, and Shuang'er was the princess's most trusted girl.
Cao Jun immediately went back and wrote a letter that "the princess and Concubine Hu are playing chess, it seems to be discordant, I miss the prince very much, and I hope to return early", handed it to Xiao Zhongzi, and asked him to send it to the prince.
Barrack.
Xiao Zhongzi, a white-faced eunuch who has no fine skin and tender meat, can't wait to leave every time he comes to the barracks.
The barracks were full of red-faced and black-haired sergeants, who always looked at him with bad intentions, and some even had green eyes in their eyes, eager to arrest Xiao Zhongzi to vent his anger. Xiao Zhongzi came again and again with fear, and looked forward to the prince going back, don't let him come to this ghost place again.
I didn't expect my wish to come true.
The prince took the letter out of the bamboo tube and glanced at it. Xiao Zhongzi didn't know what was written on it, but it was definitely something that made the prince happy.
The corners of the prince's lips moved, restrained the upward arc, and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was proudβthe kind of pride that raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Zhongzi didn't know why he thought of the word "raised eyebrows".
He can even imagine the heart of the prince: this king has finally waited, and it is not as expected......
Zhao Zhen glanced up at Xiao Zhongzi and said, "You go back first." β
"Yes."
Zhao Zhen burned the note and called the generals who were waiting outside to come in and continue to discuss.
By the time the business at hand was almost over, it was already late at night.
Zhao Zhen has been sleeping late these days, firstly to settle the official matter as soon as possible, and secondly, because he can't sleep.
Without that fragrant and soft body around me, I always feel empty, tossing and turning, and it is difficult to sleep.
Zhao Zhen put the official document into the baggage, called "come here", and heard a light landing sound, and a secret guard walked in, took the burden and withdrew.
Zhao Zhen hurried back to the palace.
Cao Jun had been waiting in front of the palace for a long time, and as soon as he saw him, he came out and asked Xiao Zhongzi to lead the horse and follow behind the master.
Zhao Zhen glanced at him with some displeasure.
Cao Jun smiled: "Don't worry, the little one didn't tell others that you were coming back." After following a few steps, he asked, "Do you want to go to Huaqing Pool to take a bath first?" β
The smell of sweat in the barracks was overwhelming, and the prince smoked it for a few days, and the smell really couldn't be considered good.
He didn't dare to dislike it, but in case he was disgusted by the princess......
Zhao Zhen glanced at Cao Jun gloomily, "Go to Huaqing Pool." β
By the time Cuiwei Courtyard arrived, it was already silent. Cao Jun stepped forward to knock on the door, but no one opened it for a long time, carefully looking at the face of the master.
Ahem, the mother-in-law who kept vigil was going to be unlucky.
"It's coming, it's coming, don't shoot, it's here! It's a big night, and you don't let people sleep? β
The door was opened by a mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law first saw that it was Mr. Cao, and her heart was not good, and then she saw the prince standing not far away with his hands, and suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he almost fell to the ground.
"King, lord, why are you here?" The woman rubbed her hands, and the smile on her face was more ugly than crying.
Cao Jun scolded the woman with her head and face: "Tell you to keep vigil!" Who allowed you to sleep! What can you afford if something happens to Cuiwei Courtyard? Confused stuff! Shame on the prince! Come on, take it down and hit twenty boards, and drive it out of the house! Let's see who dares to be lazy in the future! If you're not afraid of losing your job, just sleep! β
If this mother-in-law hadn't lost her honor in front of the prince, everything would have been negotiable, but who told her to bump into it, and she lost her errand at an old age, and she was pitiful.
Cao Jun just acted according to this master's mood.
The mother-in-law cried and cried, Zhao Zhen frowned, Cao Jun understood, and hurriedly ordered: "Don't block her mouth yet!" β
The woman whimpered a few times, and then she was taken away.
Zhao Zhen walked in at this time.
At this moment, only the croissant lamp under the porch was still on, and the man's shadow was reflected in the door of the main house.
He himself knocked.
Shuang'er slept lightly, and when she heard a knock on the door, she hurriedly came over and whispered to ask who it was.
"Hurry up and open the door, Shuang'er girl, the prince is back."
"Squeak" The door opened, and Shuang'er bent down to salute, and his voice was full of joy: "Say hello to the prince." β
Zhao Zhen bowed his head slightly and strode to the bedroom.
Yi Xuan's sleeping incense.
Sleep more soundly than when you were with him.
Zhao Zhen noticed this, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed on his face, and it disappeared in an instant, walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed, and gently stroked Yixuan's face with his hand.
He remembered Hu Zhixian's words, saying that the princess was still young and couldn't afford him tossing and turning every night, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
The girl's cheeks are delicate like delicate petals, the man's fingertips are rough, and a faint flush appears where she has rubbed it, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but bow her head, first kissed her face, and then locked her eyes on the red little mouth, ready to cover it.
He didn't touch her for a few days, and he endured it badly.
At this moment, a "Your Highness" interrupted his thoughts.
It was a girl who called.
In her sleep, she felt someone touching her face and kissing her, and she vaguely wondered which scoundrel it was, forcing herself to open her eyes.
As a result, I ran into this embarrassing situation.
Zhao Zhen is obviously a new bath, his eyelashes are stained with water droplets, his eyes are dark and dull, his contours are already deep, when he looks at something seriously, the stubbornness in his eyes will make people blush and heartbeat.
Yixuan blushed and asked, "What are you doing?" β
