Seeing Prince Rong away, Wanying returned to the palace, picked up the residual wine on the table and drank it all. The warmth of sake slipped down my throat, and an inexplicable sense of loss and sadness welled up in my heart.

Seeing this, Qi Qiuli came over timidly and said cautiously: "Niangniang, is it strange that Qiuli is too talkative?"

The beautiful scenery of the good day, the golden spring festival, only Wanying is left alone, not annoyed Qiu Li, but a little lost: "How can it be? It's just that I drank a few more glasses just now, and now I'm a little drunk. ”

"It's good that Niangniang doesn't blame Qiu Li for being too talkative, Qiu Li is also in a hurry, so she blurted out and forgot the etiquette rules."

Slightly drunk and turbulent, he was already a little sentimental, and when he saw Qiu Li's pitiful appearance, he suppressed the tears in his eyes. If she was allowed to see herself crying, wouldn't it make her feel bad in vain?

Moreover, Wanying is sad at the moment, but she just feels a little empty and lonely, not to blame her for talking too much. It's just that if she doesn't talk much, how can Wanying be alone on a beautiful night?

That's it, if it's sad, it's just that Wanying is sad.

Wan Ying pinched the white jade wine cup and twisted it back and forth, and the originally cool white jade was also warmed by Wan Ying. For a long time, Qiuli looked at Wanying. Not daring to make a sound, Wanying pretended to be drunk, shook her body swayingly, smiled at Qiu Li and said gently: "I didn't expect this sake to be so powerful, it was actually a little drunk, Qiu Li helped the palace to rest, okay?" ”

It happened to be Hongfu's vigil that night, and she couldn't sleep for a long time when she heard Wanying tossing and turning outside the hall, so she quietly entered the dormitory.

"Niangniang, it's almost dawn, why don't you sleep yet, and worry about things during the banquet?"

Hongfu wore a coat, watched the candle flame swaying, and cut off the excess candle flowers with scissors. He paced to the table and took a cup of tea and handed it to Wanying.

Wanying's strength has passed, and she sees tea. also felt a little dry mouth, Hongfu saw Wanying drink it all and poured another glass. Wanying dragged the warm teacup and leaned against the head of the bed, the ugly time had passed, and Prince Rong would definitely not be able to come back tonight.

I couldn't sleep at first, but after drinking tea, I was more awake, and in another hour the sky will be bright, and tonight is destined to be sleepless.

"Niangniang, the prince's heart, others don't know, don't we know?" Hongfu said.

"Isn't Bengong too narrow-minded, not only is this torturing himself, but also his heart for Bengong is also defiled?"

"Don't blame Niangniang for being sad, even Hongfu can't stand it."

"Xu is Bengong thinking too much, she may really be unintentional." Wanying's heart was broken, and she wanted to cover it up somewhat.

When Hongfu heard Wanying's words, her expression was a little strange, and she said angrily: "Niangniang, Hongfu has already inquired, that little goblin is obsessed with the prince, and it has not been a day or two." The last time I watched her sing and dance at the family banquet, I felt that something was wrong, and I had already asked the people in the house in private, and the little goblin was called Bu Yao. ”

"Who is it? Step shake? Wanying smiled and pointed to her hair.

Wanying originally thought that Hongfu had guessed her mind and was struggling: Will this be a little too much for Qiu Li? Who knew that what Hongfu said was something else.

"Niangniang, it's not Dai's step, it's Yaotai's Yao" Hongfu understood what Wanying meant.

"The dancing girl who leads the dance?"

"Exactly. I heard the people in the house say, 'She is a kabuki that the prince bought from the flower street five years ago,' and the people in the house also said, 'She was beaten by her mother on the street because she was unwilling to pick up customers, and the prince and the king of Beiping happened to ride past the flower street, and when they saw it, they saved her. This fox is really lucky, originally the most lowly person, but I didn't expect to meet the prince, and he turned into the chief kabuki of the palace. How unreasonable! ”

"The step shakes the golden cui like jade, and she can be regarded as a person as her name."

"Niangniang, you still have the heart to praise her. Such a fox is a scourge to stay in the house after all. You see when she dances, she always seduces the prince with her eyes. I can't stand it like that. Hongfu still said angrily.

"If the prince likes her, she doesn't have to go to great lengths to seduce, and the palace can also see that she is interested in the prince, but in her eyes, the palace can see that the prince is not interested in her."

"Niangniang, you can't be careless, Bu Yao looks like a fox and a smart woman, but she is much more Peugeot than Feng Zhou's two side concubines."

"The prince is not judging people by their appearance."

Hongfu shook her head, looked distressed, and said, "There is no unlustful man in the world. ”

Wanying patted the side of her bed and motioned for Hongfu to sit down and talk, Hongfu didn't dare, knelt on the ground, and lay on the head of the bed to talk to Wanying.

"Our prince won't, this palace knows this."

"In that case, why is Madame sentimental? The harmful Hongfu followed her mother all night and couldn't sleep. ”

Hongfu looked very serious, and Wanying knew that she really felt sorry for herself and cared about herself. And how can his own troubles be declared to her? Even you can't face yourself with such a narrow self! Maybe I care too much, maybe I really think too much.

"I'm a little homesick for this palace."

"Huh? It's only been a long time, and the mother is homesick. ”

"This palace misses my father and mother a little."

"Niangniang, from now on, the palace is our home, if the mother wants to be the master and aunt, Hong Fuming'er will go back and let the master and aunt come and see the mother."

"Besides, it's a mess here, and my mother is upset when she comes over. I don't know what's wrong with this palace, every time the prince is not there at night, I always think about the prince, and I think of my father and mother. ”

"Mother, it will be fine in a few years. When Hongfu first arrived at our house, she also missed her father, but then slowly, she didn't want to think about it. ”

"Hey, there's been so much going on lately, and I'm also upset."

"Niangniang is talking about the Zhou family and the Liu family?"

Wanying nodded, and said faintly: "Although it is a misunderstanding to figure it out, after all, Taohong is our maid of Chunhuatai, and this palace always feels a little strange in her heart." And Liu, when did you get pregnant with the prince's child? Say it and it's gone. ”

"Niangniang is afraid that others will misunderstand that we instructed Pink?"

"Yes and no, I can't say why? I always feel like this matter has something to do with us, but the big guys seem to be hiding it from us. ”

"Hongfu is also aware of it, don't worry, we are not afraid of shadows."

"Hey, that's all I can do to comfort myself."

"Niangniang, Hongfu asked something that shouldn't be asked......"

"Just ask......"

"Isn't Niangniang uncomfortable with Liu's pregnancy?"

Wanying bit her lip, and suddenly two lines of fragrant tears dripped out of her eyes, and Hongfu was so frightened that she hurriedly apologized: "It's all blame Hongfu for being so mouthful." ”

Wan Ying sighed and said, "How can I blame you? Even Hongu doesn't know why it's so uncomfortable, and he doesn't know who to blame? ”

Hongfu hurriedly persuaded: "Niangniang, that child is more than four months old. It was before the mother met the prince. ”

"Bengong knows, but it's still a little uncomfortable."

"Niangniang, if the prince liked Liu, he would have raised her position a long time ago, and he would not wait for a miscarriage. Besides, her current concubine is still the status of the queen mother in the palace when Li's mother asks for advice, to put it mildly, this is to pity her. The prince didn't say a word. ”

"You say these truths, Bengong understands them, and Bengong can't say why, I always feel so uncomfortable that I want to cry."

"Niangniang, you have to open some, the days will be long, there are so many female dependents living in the house, who will have a big belly in the future?"

"Hongfu, don't talk nonsense and block your mother." Yun Niang suddenly said from afar.

"Yun Niang, why did you get up so early?"

"When it's time, I can't sleep, and when I see the lights in the Niangniang Palace, I will come in and have a look."

"No wonder, it's almost dawn." Wanying said faintly.

Yun Niang also leaned on the side of the bed and persuaded: "Niangniang, don't always think about these things, Liu's pregnancy will be pregnant, and if it falls, it will fall, that is all in the past, didn't Niangniang say it, you have to seize the moment." ”

Wanying remembered that Yun Niang had comforted herself that day to seize the moment. I promised her. It's just that I didn't expect it to be so difficult to do.

"Niangniang, Peach curses the Zhou family, it has nothing to do with us, but we also have to keep an eye on it. Shangshu Mansion has already sent a goddess to Qiuxiang Palace, should we also invite a master to come and have a look? Yun Niang said.

Yun Niang was also worried about this matter for a few days, and took this opportunity to ask Wanying's attitude.

"Let's wait a while, the house has been in chaos like this recently, if we look for someone to come over and watch the feng shui practice, it will be a little out of place."

"What Niangniang said is, then let's wait for a while, and then slowly plan this matter after this while."

Wanying took out the purse made by Aunt Lin from under the pillow, nodded, and said cherishly: "This purse was sewn by my mother herself before entering the palace last year." ”

Yun Niang took the purse and looked at it, nodded and said: "On the day when Aunt Gao came to our Treasure Pavilion to make a big fuss, the purse embroidered by the master and aunt overnight, the Diamond Sutra inside was still hinged by my own hand. ”

"Diamond Sutra?" Hongfu asked.

"My mother was afraid that she would be cursed and framed after entering the palace, so she made this purse in advance to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters in this palace."

"Our master is really careful, and everything can be thought of ahead." Hongfu exclaimed.

Yun Niang sighed and said: "I'm afraid it's also a blessing from this purse, otherwise this time, not only will the Zhou family be cursed, but Niangniang may not be able to escape." ”

"Hongu?"

Yun Niang nodded and explained: "In the past two days, I saw that the people in the house were all dodgy to us, and at first I thought, 'Could it be that everyone misunderstood that we instructed Peach Red'? ”

"What did Mother Li say?"

"Mother Li said, 'That peach is even cursed by Niangniang, but Niangniang is blessed and proud, and she is unspeakably expensive. So it wasn't bothered by imps. ’”

When Wanying heard this, she squeezed the purse tightly in her hand, and said movingly: "What is unspeakably expensive, but it is just that my mother has the name of foresight and helped the palace prevent a disaster." ”

Hongfu frowned, and said angrily: "I really know people and faces, I don't know my heart, I thought that Taohong was a good person, but I didn't expect to do such a despicable thing behind my back." ”

"Mother Li said that this girl can only be a dead end. Otherwise, Shangshu's side and our side won't be able to make a difference. Yun Niang said sadly.

Hongfu still said angrily: "She deserves to die, this kind of yin villain, going to the eighteenth layer of hell, she also deserves it." ”

Yun Niang shook her head and said, "Silly girl, don't you think it's strange? ”

Hongfu glared and asked, "What's so strange?" ”

"She is a maid in the palace, and she stays in the palace every day, how can she know the leper monk? She doesn't know a basket of big characters, how can she draw a charm? What's more, she is a little maid, only a teenager, how can she kill a man in the prime of life with her bare hands? ”

Hongfu was a little thoughtful and muttered, "This Hongfu doesn't know." ”

Yun Niang said softly: "Niangniang, I always feel strange about this matter, but I don't know the key here, do you want to find a family member to check it privately?" ”

Wanying has some six gods and no masters, but she didn't expect that the messy things were the same as silk, the more she smoked, the more she smoked, the more chaotic she became, and she only said: "A wave of unsettled waves rises again, don't tell your family first." Let's just be careful. ”

Yun Niang's face was a little embarrassed, but she still nodded.

The east showed the white of the fish's belly, and the three masters and servants chatted in the dormitory until dawn.
