Ping Niang immediately called a few mothers-in-law and stood at the foot of the stairs to stand by. They are all doing rough work, and they usually don't have the opportunity to see the master of the house, but when they heard that it was the princess who summoned them, they all wanted to come over in a hurry.

The tea ou incense seal is a maid in the room, and the treatment is better than that of the usual maid, and the two live in a courtyard. When Yixuan led people over, the tea pot was dyeing the incense seal with Kodan. The two were talking and laughing, and as soon as Xiang Zhan looked up and saw Yi Xuan coming in, he jumped and hurriedly pushed the tea pot: "The princess is here." ”

The two knelt on the ground and saluted.

Yixuan didn't tell her two to get up, slowly paced around them, stopped suddenly, and said to Ping Niang, "Take someone to search the house." In the cage, under the bed, don't let go anywhere, everything suspicious is cleared out and placed in the yard. ”

Ping Niang promised and took a few mothers-in-law to the house. When Cha Ou Xiangzhu saw this battle, he was so frightened that he was stupid, and he couldn't speak. When he came back to his senses, he kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy.

Shuang'er Fu Yixuan sat down on the stone bench, handed over the freshly brewed flower tea, and persuaded: "The princess drinks tea to moisten it, don't make the two maids angry." ”

Yi Xuan took a sip of tea, looked at the two on the ground and sneered: "Maid? They're going to bully the head of the palace! ”

Cha Ou Xiangzhen was shocked when he heard this, knowing that the princess was so angry, she knelt down and crawled in front of Yi Xuan, and sobbed: "The slave and maid offended the princess somewhere, and made the princess so angry, and asked the princess to ......make it clear."

"Don't know?" Yi Xuan pillowed her arms on the granite table and looked at them with a smile, "Pretending to be stupid in front of this palace, how do you chew the root of your tongue behind your back?" ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces were like pig's liver, but they still stubbornly denied it: "What did the princess say?" The slave didn't understand. ”

Yi Xuan laughed contemptuously. Shuang'er stepped forward and reprimanded: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, everyone in the Manchu Mansion can testify!" Call a few casually over and make up your princess's nonsense, and say it again one by one! ”

Shuang'er, this girl, is getting more and more powerful. Yixuan was very pleased.

Cha Ou was not convinced: "Why did we say anything?" The princess can't get used to us, and if she wants to send us out of the house, she doesn't have to be charged with such a crime! ”

Yi Xuan was stirring the Kodan in the bowl with a silver spoon, and suddenly dropped the silver spoon, staring at the tea pot with a blank face. Cha Ou's heart was empty when she looked at her, and her eyes were half lowered, but she still had a stubborn look.

"How to do it, do you want this palace to teach you?" Yixuan glanced at Shuang'er.

Shuang'er is her personal big girl, and it is more than enough to punish a girl who makes a mistake.

"The slave understands." Shuang'er understood, walked to the tea pot, and slapped her loudly. Shuang'er has practiced martial arts, and the thick layer of cocoons on his hands makes people hurt.

Cha Ou's head was tilted over, his cheeks were hot, and five red marks immediately appeared, red and swollen. She opened her mouth and stared at Yi Xuan stunned, as if she was stunned by this sudden move.

She is Concubine Gong's maidservant before her death, who in this house doesn't give her face? Unexpectedly, she was taught a lesson by a maid whose status was not as good as her!

"You!" Cha Ou was ashamed and annoyed, glanced at her fiercely, and said unwillingly: "Even if the slave and maid are subordinates, they are not to be trampled by......"

Yi Xuan smiled: "Are you thinking in your heart, preaching to people that this palace abuses subordinates and is bitter and jealous?" ”

“…… The slave did not dare. ”

Ping Niang brought a few mothers-in-law to move the cage over, Yi Xuan ignored the tea pot, turned to Ping Niang and asked, "What is this?" ”

"The princess will know if you look at it." Ping Niang smiled and ordered her mother-in-law to open the box. The box was locked, and when they couldn't find the key, they smashed it open with a hammer.

Yi Xuan looked fixedly-

The top layer is paved with thick Shu brocade, the color is pretty and the patterns are fresh, and there is no one hundred taels of silver that can not be bought. When the brocade was opened, there were two red lacquer boxes, which contained two complete sets of red gold and silk gem heads, one of which was worth at least five hundred taels. Ping Niang removed the lacquer box again, and at the bottom, there was a box of gold bars at the bottom!

The gold is so attractive that not only the mothers-in-law can't take their eyes off, but even Yixuan is full of consternation!

How much is this cage worth!

Ping Niang said: "The tea pot incense seal is only five taels of silver per person a month, but I don't know where this box of things comes from?" ”

Although she said this to Yixuan, her eyes were aimed at the tea pot and the incense seal. Cha Ou pursed his lips, "It was rewarded by the prince." ”

"You have to think about it clearly." Ping Niang was silent, "The prince rewards, there will be a record in the treasury, I just need to check it to know whether what the girl said is true or false." ”

Cha Ou stared at Ping Niang in disbelief, gritting her teeth: "You don't care about ...... at all"

Ping Niang was stunned: "The girl said that she laughed, you and I are at most a love affair together." Now that you've done something, I can't save you. ”

The incense seal, who had been crying on the side, finally couldn't help it, pulled the arm of the tea pot and shook his head, and said while crying: "Forget it, the tea pot...... Don't argue. ”

The teapot quieted down.

"Where did you get these things?" Yixuan gets straight to the point.

She just wanted to know who the person who was planning and framing her behind her back.

"It's just some of Concubine Gong's savings during her lifetime." Cha Ou suddenly said: "The slave and maid slandered the princess behind her back, and all the mistakes were the fault of the slave and maid, please don't blame the princess." ”

She bowed her head to Yixuan. Xiang Zhen was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Everything is made by slaves, and it has nothing to do with the tea pot!" ”

The two rushed to plead guilty. Yixuan was impatient and said, "Your relationship is very good. Who asked you to spread the rumors about this palace? ”

After being silent for a long time, Cha Ou said: "No one instructs." When the slave heard that the princess was going to send the slave and maid to marry, she was resentful, so she did something wrong. ”

"Really?" Yixuan asked.

"Nature is true."

Yixuan smiled. These two girls are tight-mouthed, it seems that they can't ask anything, maybe they have a handle on people, and it's not good to force people to kill in a hurry. She took another sip of tea and glanced into the room, "What else is suspicious?" ”

Ping Niang shook her head: "No." ”

"Good. Then lock these two rooms with seals, and send them to watch over them, and no one is allowed to enter. Yixuan pointed to the tea pot again, seemed to think about it, and said with a smile: "I don't want your life, but you can't keep it." In this way, from today onwards, you will go to guard the imperial mausoleum for the concubine. ”

Guarding the Emperor's Mausoleum...... It means that you will never be able to return to the palace, and you will have to live a lonely life......

Xiang Zhen cried loudly, "Ask the princess for mercy...... Slave, slave doesn't want to ......"

She is still so young, how can she be ruined in the imperial tomb for the rest of her life?

"Guarding the imperial mausoleum for Concubine Gong, embarrassing you?" Yixuan mocked: "Didn't you rely on the status of the concubine's maid before her death to ask for the prince's mercy, why are you unwilling at this time?" The concubine is benevolent, if it can educate you, it is also a good thing. ”

Shuang'er also felt that the punishment was too light. The two of them slandered the reputation of the princess, which caused the queen mother to be angry, and the princess almost lost her life! According to her, if she doesn't die, she will have to be sold into slavery, and she will never be allowed to return to Beijing!

"Princess, you are too merciful." Shuang'er muttered.

Ping Niang also thought the same way, but she didn't say it, just said to the tea Ou Xiangzhen: "Don't thank you yet?" ”

The two reluctantly said: "Princess Xie is magnanimous, and the slave and maid will take good care of the imperial tomb and pray for the concubine, the prince and the princess." ”

Yixuan, who prays for blessings and doesn't pray for blessings, doesn't dare to think that it's good for these two people not to curse her.

Yixuan and Shuang'er left first. The two mothers-in-law carried the tea pot and incense seal into the firewood room. Ping Niang and the rest of the people put the seal on it, and when everything was done, they returned to the main house to report to Yixuan.

Yixuan was already having dinner.

She was more angry today, and the kitchen specially cooked some light dishes. Steamed sea bass, fresh bamboo shoots and fish ball soup, steamed taro puree, two pickles and a bowl of porridge. Xingyun told Princess Pingniang that she was eating, but Pingniang didn't dare to disturb, so she stood under the porch for a while, and waited for the sound of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks inside, before letting Xingyun go in to spread the news.

It didn't take long for Xingyun to come out and let Ping Niang in. Shuang'er was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she saw her, she laughed first and said, "Sister-in-law has made a great contribution today!" ”

Ping Niangqian said: "Don't dare." All of them belong to the slaves and maidservants. ”

"Sit down." Yixuan is peeling loquats. There are a lot of fruit trees planted in the backyard of the palace, and this loquat is picked from the backyard, and it is ripe, and the daughter-in-law of the steward with eyes is presented to the princess and princess.

Yixuan likes sweet and sour things, and inherits the good intentions of the daughter-in-law.

Yixuan grabbed a handful of loquat and gave it to Ping Niang, who stood up from the embroidery pier and bent down to take it, but she didn't dare to eat it here, she just held it in her hand.

"Is it all done?" Yixuan asked.

"That's it. The tea ou incense seal is now locked in the firewood room, and the two mothers-in-law look at it and can't escape. Is it tomorrow to send someone to send them to the imperial tomb? ”

Yixuan smiled: "Hmm." Find two competent people, and don't let people run away. She lowered her head and carefully peeled the skin of the loquat, and suddenly became mysterious: "The most important thing is to send someone to keep an eye on them secretly, and keep an eye on them carefully." ”

Yi Xuan guessed that after the Queen Mother's side made trouble, that person should be afraid that the matter would be exposed, and temporarily cut off the connection with the tea pot incense seal. But she sent the tea pot to the imperial mausoleum, and that person might appear.

Ping Niang smiled knowingly, "The slave understands that it must be arranged properly." ”

"By the way, help me check again, where that box of things came from." Yixuan looked at Ping Niang and smiled: "This kind of thing, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop is generally very good, if you ask quietly, you can always ask something." ”

"Yes. The slave must find out. Ping Niang bowed her head and promised.

Yixuan was satisfied and continued to eat her fruit.

Shuang'er hurriedly took away the fruit plate and said with a smile: "Loquat is cold, even if it is delicious, you can't eat more!" Ping Niang, look at how greedy our princess is! ”

Yixuan glared at her: "You girl, it's not a big deal." ”

Ping Niang couldn't help but smile, the princess was majestic on the surface, but in private, she was also a lively and interesting person.

"Princess, you still have to think about the matter of the tea pot incense seal, how to talk to the prince." Ping Niang reminded her: "In the end, it was the old person of Concubine Gong before her death, you know, the prince always cares about the affairs of the concubine." ”
