Chapter 40, self-defeating
The morning light shimmered outside the window, Qin Song slowly opened her sleepy eyes, and the next moment, she stood up like frightened, this strange bed made her very uncomfortable. She subconsciously lifted the curtain and looked out, only then did she recall from the familiar furnishings in front of her that she seemed to have fallen asleep yesterday while playing chess with Zhou Tianyi.
The bedroom was quiet, she estimated that Zhou Tianyi probably went out before dawn, and she didn't know if what she said last night would help him.
"Your Highness, the slaves and maids have come to wait for the morning rise."
As soon as Qin Song woke up from his dazed state, the delicate voices of the palace maids came from the door of the outhouse, and they followed the rules and quietly waited for the instructions of the master of the inner house. Qin Song was embarrassed, she clearly remembered that Zhou Tianyi told her that the maids were not allowed to enter the backyard, and she had indeed never seen any maids dare to enter the backyard before, so ...... Is this what Zhou Tianyi found for her?
Could it be ...... Did the gossip of the maids about her catch his attention that day?
No matter what the reason, Qin Song just wanted to grab the pillow at hand and smash it in Zhou Tianyi's face at the moment, this was simply nosy! Did Zhou Tianyi think she couldn't do anything with the maids? I don't bother them just because ...... I don't have a position to do this, and if I take a hundred steps back, a few words of gossip won't hurt her.
If these maids really let them see that she was in Zhou Tianyi's room early in the morning, and slept in his bed in disheveled clothes, wouldn't she be able to wash herself by jumping into the Yellow River in the future! Zhou Tianyi is such a careful and cautious person, why is this matter handled so mindlessly?
But now the maids were waiting outside, and there was no one else in the room, and if she didn't show up, they would have waited forever.
"That's it, this time is considered to be taken care of." Qin Song sighed, after all, she couldn't bear to wait for the maids who were fellow maids waiting outside for a door that no one would answer at all, she got up and straightened the placket of her clothes that were a little wrinkled, and found the only mirror in the room, stepped forward and smoothed her long hair, and after making sure that her appearance was correct and neatly dressed, she steadily walked outside and opened the door.
"Come in and put down your toiletries, and you can go back."
Looking up and seeing that it was Qin Song who appeared at the door, it was obviously difficult for the maids to recover from their shock, the order they received was obviously "His Royal Highness wants you to go to the courtyard to wait for the morning", I thought that His Royal Highness was finally willing to let them serve in the backyard, but I didn't expect that this first exception was still for Miss Qin.
Looking left and right at the sisters who were all hesitating, Xiqing, who was holding the basin, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Miss Qin, it is His Highness's request to wait for you to get up in the morning, if we don't do it well, we will be blamed." ”
Xiqing said sincerely, but Qin Song's eyes were clouded with a layer of doubt, when she opened the door just now, everyone's expressions were surprised and surprised when they saw her, that is, they all thought that this was to serve Zhou Tianyi before, Xiqing's words contradicted her own inadvertent emotions!
Thinking about it, Qin Song narrowed his dangerous eyes, his gaze swept over Xiqing, who was still with his head down, and he was thinking about who was the problem. She believed that Zhou Tianyi would not do such a thoughtless thing, and Xiqing's surprise when she saw her open the door didn't seem to be pretending, so she ...... The most likely thing that distorted Zhou Tianyi's original words was probably the ...... coordinating the work of the palace maids Mrs. Rong.
Qin Song smiled bitterly, Zhou Tianyi hasn't married a wife and concubine yet, the back house of King Zhao's Mansion is so unstable, if it arrives, it will really become unimaginably lively.
She couldn't resist the insistence of Xiqing and other maids, but she couldn't enjoy the service of the people of the palace with peace of mind, so she still moved out of Zhou Tianyi, the owner of the palace, to block the arrow for her, she took the basin in Xiqing's hand, and said: "You go back, if Your Highness asks, I will carry it for you, don't worry." ”
Even if she said this, the maids in front of her still looked embarrassed, she was just a guest of the palace, and she was not qualified to order them, only this line, she would not cross.
After a few comings and goings, Qin Song finally compromised, and after hastily washing his face, he sent all the people away. After the maids had walked away, she inadvertently glanced out, and happened to catch a glimpse of Mrs. Rong, who had hurriedly hid behind the wall. Qin Song has always been shrewd, and Mrs. Rong's actions have already proved her guess, but what she doesn't understand is that Mrs. Rong, who doesn't look like she has any intentions for Zhou Tianyi's status, why should she embarrass herself?
"Mrs. Rong, please stay." Qin Song walked out of the dormitory gate quickly and came to the wall outside the courtyard, stood straight in front of Mrs. Rong, smiled and nodded.
"Miss Qin, please command." The haste on Mrs. Rong's face had completely been lifted, as calm as if she had just been stopped, she lowered her head slightly, and waited for Qin Songyan to speak humbly.
"......" Qin Song has a headache, and no one who comes out of the Gaomen Mansion can be underestimated, not to mention that at Mrs. Rong's age, she must be accustomed to ups and downs, and she can't make a choice after brewing a few implicit beginnings in her heart, Qin Song simply abandoned all conventional common sense and normalcy and went straight to the point, and asked in a deep voice: "Why is Mrs. Rong embarrassed me?" ”
This straight ball caught Mrs. Rong off guard, and it also made her show a flaw in an instant, but she was an old man in the back house after all, and it only took a moment to adjust her mentality, "The old slave doesn't know what Miss Qin is referring to, if something is wrong and makes Miss unhappy, please make it clear." ”
Mrs. Rong's words were not picky, but in the eyes of Qin Song, who had caught her flaws, this was a sign of weakness, she sighed faintly, and had no intention of talking about this matter anymore, so she only approached Mrs. Rong and solemnly told her, "Mrs. Rong rest assured, Qin Song, as a merchant girl, has self-knowledge, and will not miss His Highness's great future." ”
After speaking, without giving Mrs. Rong a chance to say more, she walked directly to the courtyard where she lived.
If you don't want to show the power of the king, then this Mrs. Rong must really be for Zhou Tianyi's good. But what she did was not aimed at forcing herself to leave the Zhaowang Mansion, but more like a temptation and test.
Qin Song laughed at herself, she wanted to test whether she had ulterior motives for Zhou Tianyi? Or test whether you have the qualifications of "Princess Zhao"? It's a pity that she can't account for either of them.
Thinking about it this way, the gossip of the maids in the palace before is afraid that it also has her handwriting, Xiqing is tired, she has repeatedly pushed Xiqing to the position of "villain" and let herself know as an outsider, first, to be able to test the depth of her Qin family girl, second, to find a scapegoat for herself afterwards, and third, to be able to use this to drive away Xiqing, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the palace.
Killing three birds with one stone, it is hard for her.
However, to Qin Song's great displeasure, Mrs. Rong only considered the interests of King Zhao and King Zhao's Mansion, but did not plan for her and the Qin family.
A few days ago, in order to "lure the snake out of the hole", the storm she and Zhou Tianyi set off together has not completely subsided, but Zhou Tianyi planned properly, and it is difficult for people to find the actual basis for what they do, so after a period of time, everything he and her will only be regarded as rumors, and it will disperse over time.
But now at this juncture, if it is rumored that the daughter of the Qin family is unchaste and unclean and tempts King Zhao, how will she and the Qin family be viewed by the world? Qin Song thought of a way to redeem herself, and before she knew it, she arrived at her yard, and the five maids all coaxed her up and looked at her with different expressions, she was frightened, and she thought about it and ordered a few people to pack up their things.
In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Song quietly returned to Qin's house with his five maids, and the news reached Mrs. Rong's ears, and she was really panicked when she had been in a state of anxiety since they met in the morning. Mrs. Rong reacted at this time, she had entered a big misunderstanding, Qin Song not only did not want to capture His Royal Highness, but really didn't want to have too much to do with it, but His Royal Highness was sincere and wanted to keep her by his side all the time.
Mrs. Rong knelt outside the study until Zhou Tianyi returned home. At the beginning of Qin Song's arrival in the palace, she really felt that the merchant girl who showed up could not compare to the virtuous woman educated by the family, so she always hid her prejudice in her heart.
But how much His Royal Highness attaches importance to Qin Song, after experiencing the rights and wrongs of the past two months, she knows very well in her heart, and now that she has made Miss Qin angry, she will not be able to come back even if she loses her life.
Mrs. Rong told Zhou Tianyi everything without concealment, but she had to reply with a sentence of "Temporarily put aside the affairs of the palace in the past few days, and reflect while resting".
"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Mrs. Rong was very surprised by Zhou Tianyi's understatement punishment, is it enough to reflect on it like this? It was most terrible that His Highness was not angry, and she knelt uneasily and still refused to get up and leave.
"As for what to do with you, after Qin Song returns, she will be in charge, and this king will not interfere."
According to what Mrs. Rong said, she passed on the words he said this morning to "let the maids go to the courtyard to wait for the morning" to Xiqing and them, but it is impossible for Mrs. Rong not to understand that his so-called maid is not the maid of the palace, but Yuesheng and others who have been staying by Qin Song's side.
Tsk, I left in a hurry in the morning, and the omissions in my words were taken advantage of by her like this. Mrs. Rong should be punished, but how to punish him, he looked forward to Qin Song's decision. One day, the affairs of the palace will be decided by her, sooner or later, this should be a warm-up, right?
However, it seems that the events in the morning may also cause some problems, and it will be extremely unfavorable to Qin Song if it is spread out, and it will even be used by people with intentions to make a fuss and ruin her reputation, after a pause, Zhou Tianyi warned again: "...... Before she returns, you have to take care of the mouths of those maids, and no matter who they talk to, you don't have to show mercy. With that, he waved his hand and motioned for her to leave.
Mrs. Rong was stunned, Your Highness has already begun to slowly hand over the power of the mansion to Miss Qin? She did something wrong, she was very wrong, it has nothing to do with status and value, His Royal Highness only identified Qin Song from the beginning, even if she still lacks something now, His Royal Highness will be willing to wait patiently and patiently teach, not to mention Miss Qin, who is transparent everywhere, she has the experience of doing business in various places that those of them who live in the back house have never had, I am afraid that it is not something they can measure at all.
No, before that, it is the top priority to block the mouths of the palace maids first, and the others may be able to make up for it after Miss Qin returns, but if Miss Qin's reputation is damaged because of this, then she really can't afford the consequences.
"Is there anything else?" Seeing that Mrs. Rong was still kneeling, Zhou Tianyi asked again in an accentuated tone.
"No, no, no, the old slave will retire." Mrs. Rong was in a trance, quickly stood up and hurriedly retreated.
After Mrs. Rong walked away so far that she couldn't see the shadow, Zhou Tianyi, who was sitting behind the table, laughed, how could Qin Song's temper tempered in the shopping mall be provoked by Mrs. Rong's trick and leave with the baggage, presumably Qin Zhai really has urgent matters that she needs to deal with in person, and at the same time, she can also use this to fight back against Mrs. Rong's difficulties.
After dealing with the letters at hand, Zhou Tianyi went out of the palace alone and sneaked into Qin's mansion, he was very curious about what urgent matter Qin Song was going to deal with.
After meeting with Wang Huangzhi in the morning, he received an urgent letter from Qin Feng to take precautions, and both of them analyzed the connection between Yuyan, the Quartet and the entire Zhuhua for him in an extremely obscure way, and he finally decided to insist on going to Yuyan in person, which was also his feedback to Qin Song yesterday, and he wanted to inform her when he returned home, but he didn't expect people to run away directly.
