After breakfast, Jingwen followed the sick prince into the carriage and returned to the palace.

Back in the courtyard, Jingwen called Qingzhu and asked her to prepare hot water, she wanted to cleanse herself.

She took off her warm and dry clothes from last night, and just as she waited for the hot water, she took off her headdress.

I heard the crisp voice of Qingzhu outside; "Ming Huan, this water is a little colder, let's get some hot water."

Her words stunned Jing Wen's hand as she took off her headdress.

Ming Huan? Isn't this the name the Nine Emperors said last night?

Jing Wen remembered that he asked if Ming Huan, who he sent to him, had been transferred by himself to be a rough maid.

Could it be that Qingzhu shouted just now that Ming Huan was transferred by Jing Wen before to be a rough maid?

When she got up and wanted to open the door, just as the door was pushed open from the outside, Qingzhu walked in and said with a smile: "Mrs. Jing, the hot water is ready, do you want to take a bath?" ”

Jing Wen stretched out her head to look at a woman behind Qingzhu who was carrying a large wooden bucket and her back to her and walking towards the kitchen, she was dressed in linen, dressed as an inferior maid, tall and slender, this person was Ming Huan?

But before she could take a closer look, Qingzhu walked in, closed the door, and said in a hurry: "My lady, why did you go and open the door with your dirty clothes, if you let outsiders see it, some people with broken mouths will definitely say something again." ”

Saying this, Jing Wen noticed that she was in a hurry to see the one named Ming Huan just now, and forgot that she had taken off her coat just now.

With a red face, he retreated to the dresser, removed all the hairpins, and entered the side room to bathe through the side door next to him.

After bathing, Jingwen changed her clothes and wiped her wet hair on the dresser.

In the bronze mirror, the woman's face is clean, her facial features are exquisite, and those almond eyes shine brightly under the light.

She rubbed her hands together and was applying the cream to her hands to keep her skin fresh and fair.

There are things hidden in my heart, and I don't do things so carefully.

Lowering his head and pretending to be unintentional, he asked the maid behind him: "Qingzhu, the rough girl just now is named Ming Huan?" ”

The maid behind her continued to move and continued to help her cotton cloth absorb water.

"Yes, ma'am, you forgot, you sent her to be a rough girl in the first place."

Jing Wen frowned, rubbing her temples with her hands: "Since I was sick, now my brain has begun to be confused, why did I send her out in the first place?" ”

She asked, pretending to forget.

Qingzhu did not doubt him, thought about it for a while, and said: "That day, Madame, you said that you were depressed in your heart, and you wanted to go out for a walk, so you ate tea in the small pavilion in the courtyard, Ming Huan, this girl also just entered the house, you looked pleasing to the eye, and took it with you, but after all, it was not long after entering the house, and she was a little rude in doing things, and when you poured tea, you accidentally burned Mrs., so you sent her to be a rough girl."

Jing Wen nodded thoughtfully, but she didn't speak.

Drying her wet hair, Jingwen changed her clothes, sat by the window and just flipped through two pages of a book when she heard someone talking outside.

Jing Wen looked sideways, it was a woman wearing a cyan patterned skirt, combing her sideburns, her face was delicate, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, just laughing at Qingzhu.

In the blink of an eye, Qingzhu entered the room, walked and said with a formal salute: "Madam, the prince invites you to lunch." ”

Jing Wen was puzzled, since she woke up in the past two days, the food she had eaten was made in the small kitchen in the yard, how could she go to the prince's garden to eat today?

But think about it, the status of the concubine in the house is not much higher than that of the maid, how can she open a small kitchen privately.

Presumably she was seriously ill a few days ago, and opened the small kitchen in order to cook medicine.

Now that he is well, he is going to wait for the prince.

Put down the book in his hand, got up and said to Qingzhu, "Let's go." ”

Out of the Zhaoyu Courtyard, Jing Wen's footsteps gradually slowed, looking at the huge courtyard in front of her, she was worried, this... Where to eat.

He tilted his head slightly and said to Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, you come forward to help me, isn't it because the rain last night was blown by the cold wind, and my body is a little weak." ”

When Qingzhu heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her.

"Madame, do you have a headache? You have just recovered from a serious illness, and your body is still weak, and when you return to the hospital, I will let Xiuyu decoction some cold medicine. ”

Jing Wen waved her hand, but it was no problem.

She put her hand on Qingzhu's hand, and Qingzhu led the way, and finally arrived at the side hall.

The dining table was empty, only an older grandmother was standing at the door, and when she saw Jing Wen coming, she just smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything.

She entered the side hall, and seeing that she had not yet stood still, the servants brought the meal.

Two basins of water and cotton cloth were placed next to it.

She stepped forward and washed her hands.

Standing aside, waiting for the arrival of the sick prince.

But in a quarter of an hour, the last dish was served, and Yin Mingchen also hurried in.

Presumably he returned to the house and cleaned his body, at this time he changed into an indigo blue robe, the cuffs were embroidered with silver silk edge flowing cloud piping, a blue auspicious cloud wide-edged brocade belt was tied around his waist, and his long hair was tied up.

Today, it looks like I have slept and felt a lot more energetic.

She hurriedly stepped forward and gave a light salute: "Lord Wang." ”

Yin Mingchen just waved his hand and motioned for her to get up.

Instead, he sat down on the main seat.

Nuoda's palace is just one master.

Jing Wen stood beside him, and handed the wet face towel from the wooden bucket brought by the maid to Yin Mingchen to clean his hands.

After cleaning her hands, Jing Wen was a little difficult.

There are no such big rules in the Qi family, and I have only seen Mama Li cloth vegetables for her grandmother.

After a long time, seeing that she had been standing aside and not moving, Yin Mingchen frowned and turned his head to look at her.

Jing Wen was shocked by his gaze, picked up the chopsticks with one hand, and covered her sleeve with the other.

Looking at the dishes on the table, the nearest one was sandwiched into his bowl.

Yin Mingchen frowned when he saw her clumsy movements.

How did I get sick, not only my temperament changed, but even my hands and feet became stupid.

He waved his hand: "You can also sit down and eat." ”

Jing Wen breathed a sigh of relief quietly and sat down on his left hand.

Eat silently, sleep silently.

Except for the sound of eating and chopsticks, the dinner table was unusually quiet.

Jingwen only ate a few bites, and she was full, and Yin Mingchen ate more than her.

I also put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Rinsed his mouth and stood up.

Jing Wen followed behind him, except for the side hall.

When he walked to the fork in the road, Yin Mingchen stopped: "These few days the king of Japan wants to enter the palace to worship, the things in the house are handled by you and the nurse, and you have been in the house for more than two months. ”

Jing Wen answered behind her.

I saw Yin Mingchen turn around and go to the study.

Jingwen stood there watching his back go away, until Qingzhu came up and reminded, "Madam." ”

She came back to her senses, puzzled.

This sick prince is so strange.

Yesterday, I was sick and needed help to walk, how can I look so good today?

But she didn't know that this was just a temptation by Yin Mingchen to her.

Yin Mingchen entered the study, and Qianran was recruited in.

Standing in front of the desk, he lowered his head and leaned over to wait for Prince Chen's question.

Yin Mingchen was still holding the book, looking at it, and asked, "What did you see yesterday?" ”

When he came out of Qi Mansion today, he went to bathe, and then the nurse took the housekeeper to report the account, until he went to eat, Yin Mingchen never had the opportunity to ask him about yesterday.

Qianran listened to what the prince asked, turned his head to look outside the door, closed the door casually, took two steps forward, and said closer.

"Back to the prince, yesterday the slave followed her into the courtyard of the third lady of the Qi family, and the Nine Emperor Princes helped her open the door of the courtyard, and then the slave was too close, and it was raining heavily outside, so I only listened to the Nine Emperor Princes asking why the lady sent a girl to be a rough girl."

Yin Mingchen frowned: "Do you know who that maid is?" ”

Qian Ran thought for a while and reported a name: "Ming Huan." ”

The man listened and nodded: "Afterwards, you go and check." ”

Qianran hugged his fists and said yes, and then told Yin Mingchen about the appearance of the five princes.

explained Jingwen's trip last night clearly.

Yin Mingchen nodded.

His ninth brother took the trouble to send her in, it was not as simple as spying on him, and besides, he sent it in clearly, how could he not know that he would guard against him, there must be other reasons.

His fifth brother was originally a scheming person, but he didn't want to be planted in the hands of a weak woman.

Previously, he came to ask for this woman, but he didn't give it to him, but he didn't expect to give up.

Yin Mingchen thought as he hooked the corners of his mouth, his slender and white fingers sliding across the pages.

Now, this woman is still inquiring about Prime Minister Qi's mansion.

Was it to divert his attention?

Jing Wen, who entered the Zhaoyu Academy, didn't know how complicated her original owner's identity was, Yin Mingchen treated her as an insider on her face, but she was guarding against her in her heart.

Not long after she sat down, the nurse Yin Mingchen said sent someone to invite her.

said that he wanted her to go to the accounting office.

The account room is in the front yard, and if it is reconciled, it must be the nurse and the account clerk who brought the account book to the backyard.

But that was for the concubine, she was just a concubine, and the sick prince also said that he just let her watch from the sidelines, not meddle in the accounts.

Thinking of this, Jing Wen sighed, she didn't know that it was really difficult to be a concubine.

To tie up the main room so as not to wear small shoes for yourself, to compete with other concubines for favor, the slightly older and some status of the grandmother in the house do not put themselves in their eyes, and the maids with some backgrounds will also disobey the yang and the yin.

Now Jing Wen is a little glad that there is no master above, and no one competes with her for favor, and the sick prince also gives her face, and no maid dares to ride on her head to mess around, that is, those grandmothers with status, seeing her can only be regarded as pleasant.

The position of her concubine is still good.

Thinking of this, she tidied up her makeup and went to the front yard.

Compared with the flowers and plants in the backyard, the front yard looks more atmospheric.

Many servants and maidservants were busy on the road, and when they passed by her, they would salute and call out to Madame.

When I entered the account room, I saw a man sitting on the main seat wearing a stuffy blue robe, combing his temples, and pinning a silver hairpin ornament.

With a slightly chubby figure and a dignified sitting posture, when she came in, a smile appeared on her originally serious face, and her small eyes narrowed into a slit showed a fine light.
