Chapter Eighty-Eight: Something Goes Wrong
、、、、、、、、、、
After eating, Chujian and Qi Zhen accompanied Mrs. Ji to talk for a while, the topics were all irrelevant, and no one mentioned the matter of Mrs. Ji leaving the palace to go to the outside of the palace, nor did she talk about Aunt Du's visit to Xinyuan today.
When I first saw that Mrs. Ji was a little sleepy, I already knew Qi Zhen very well, and the two said good night to Mrs. Ji together, and then bowed and left Chunde Garden.
Out of the Spring Garden, the first time I saw it, I found that my heart had been tight, she breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt full of tiredness swept over.
Qi Zhen clasped her cold hand and whispered in her ear, "First time, the girl in this courtyard, you have to be careful and be on guard." ”
At first sight, his face was a little pale, but fortunately in the night, even if there was a lantern shining in the corridor, it was not easy to see, otherwise Qi Zhen didn't know how distressed he would be.
She looked at Qi Zhen with trembling eyes, and he also noticed that there was something wrong with the people who left the Xin Courtyard? No, if Old Madam Ji behaved so obviously, Qi Zhen hadn't noticed it, then he would be a prince in vain.
Chujian suddenly felt her heart beating violently, and her palms were sweating a little nervously because of the speculation in her heart, Mrs. Ji ...... It can't be intentional, right? Deliberately letting them know that there are many other people's eyeliner in Xinyuan, is this a reminder to be careful in everything?
"First meeting?" Qi Zhen noticed the abnormality of his first sight, he stopped, stood on the corridor in the garden, and looked down at her worriedly.
Lingyu carried the palace lamp in front of her, and when she saw that the prince and the princess had stopped, she was a little embarrassed for a while, she really didn't stop, and she didn't continue to walk, she couldn't listen to the lords whispering beside them, she walked away for a while, and then stopped and waited to see them for the first time.
"First time, do you mind what the old lady said?" Qi Zhen gently hugged Chujian's waist and looked at her with a frown.
Hatsumi shook his head, "No, I was just thinking...... Am I doing something wrong? ”
Qi Zhen said a few times, "You didn't do anything wrong, that's none of your business." ”
"But......" Hatsumi lowered his head and sighed, "Qi Zhen, I'm suddenly worried. ”
Qi Zhen stretched out his fingers and picked up her jaw, making her look at her, "What are you worried about?" ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to solve these sudden problems, I'm afraid I'll not do well enough." It's not that she doesn't dare to face it, although she is a modern person, it doesn't mean that she will be better than these ancients in terms of handling things, in terms of means and scheming, I'm afraid that she can't compare to them anyway, who have been used to seeing all kinds of life in the mansion since she was a child, so she is a little worried that she really can't deal with all kinds of problems, but it will affect Qi Zhen.
She really had a lot of faith in herself!
Qi Zhen sighed, took her into his arms, patted her on the back, and said softly, "First time, take your time, you will definitely handle it." ”
"yes, I know." Chu Jian tried hard to absorb the endless warmth on his body, as if this could give her infinite strength and courage, she didn't want Qi Zhen to worry, no matter how treacherous this palace was, she would not back down.
Yes, she'll worry she's not good enough, but she's never afraid to run away!
Back in Xinyuan, the first glance was a little cold and glanced at the Yahuan women who were doing things around them, how many of these people are ghostly and dissent? Now she is not sure, and because the time has not yet come, she will not take any action against these people, and those who think that they can control her by putting their eyes on Xinyuan are a little too underestimated by her, or even not at all?
The two little girls who were cleaning in the hall saw that Chujian and Qi Zhen were back, their eyes flickered a little, and they hurriedly lowered their heads, and after saluting, they packed up their things and wanted to retreat.
"Wait!" Hatsumi suddenly whispered to them, she turned back to them and smiled softly, "What's your two names?" ”
The two girls looked at each other, and the darker-skinned girl replied softly, "Back to the princess, the slave maid is named Ming'er." ”
Hatsumi smiled and looked at the other, "What about you?" ”
The maid blessed her body, "Back to the princess, the slave maid is named Jin'er." ”
When we first met, my smile became more and more gentle and bright, "What kind of difference are you doing in Xinyuan?" ”
The two maids raised their eyelashes and glanced at Chu Jian and Qi Zhen, and hurriedly buried them, looking very nervous, "Hui, back to the princess, the slaves and maids are responsible for cleaning." ”
"Oh? Yes. Thank you for your hard work, let's go down first! Hatsumi glanced deeply at their hands, and said softly.
The two maids turned pale and fell to their knees, "The slave doesn't dare to say the hard work of being a princess." ”
Hatsumi smiled, "Don't be so nervous, it's cold, your errand is really not easy, go down and rest early tonight." ”
Na Ming'er and Jin'er trembled again and saluted before leaving the main hall.
Lingyu and Ziyao both looked at their backs coldly, a strange smile appeared on the corners of their mouths, they turned their heads and saw that Hatsumi was looking at them smiling, they nodded at Hatsumi, indicating that they also saw something.
"Lingyu, let the small kitchen make some snacks and hot soup for the prince." When I first saw Qi Zhen, who was pale, he sighed in his heart, thinking that Qi Zhen also saw the strangeness of the two girls.
How can a girl's hands be so white and tender? Although these two people were very scared and nervous, they did not panic at all, and they answered with all the etiquette, how could such a girl ring be an inferior girl ring?
Back in the inner room, Qi Zhen slapped the table hard, and his voice was a little cold, "What kind of place do they think of Xinyuan!" Is this king a puppet at their mercy? ”
Hatsumi poured a cup of warm tea and put it in his hand, and then asked Zi Yao, who wanted to serve them as they entered the house, to give Zi Yao a look and let Zi Yao go out of the house.
She said softly, "Have a cup of tea, Qi Zhen." ”
Qi Zhen sat down, took her hand, and looked at her apologetically, "First time, there is a problem with those two maids, no matter who sent them, they will be sold immediately tomorrow, not only them, but all the maids in this house have been sent away, this is our home, and we must not keep some minions who have two hearts for the master!" ”
Hatsumi smiled and said, "The bride enters the door and fires?" ”
Qi Zhen glared at her, "Do you still have the heart to joke at this time?" Didn't you see that those two rings were unusual? ”
Ignoring his glare, he smiled and said, "Naturally, I can see it, otherwise how could I stop them, it's just that we don't know how many slaves are other people's eyes in this Xin Courtyard, and we don't know who wants to observe us secretly like this, whether it is malicious or goodwill, we don't know, so I think we must not be careless in this matter, we know that these slaves have two hearts, but the people outside don't know, if I really send away the slaves of this entire courtyard, how will others think of me?" ”
"Hmph, what kind of kindness will there be, this kind of circus dares to play in front of this king!" Qi Zhen snorted coldly, at this time, the anger in his heart was raging and difficult to extinguish, he didn't bother to ask about the affairs of the inner house in this mansion, but it didn't mean that he couldn't understand these methods of open and secret fighting, governing the country first Qi family, if he couldn't even manage the family affairs in this palace, how could he lead the army to lead the general?
When I first saw him, I felt that if this matter really let Qi Zhen come forward to solve it, maybe the minions in the entire mansion would not take her in their eyes in the future, and they would definitely feel that she was not a weak and incompetent princess who relied on Qi Zhen to survive, and if she really became the master in the future, how could she convince the public?
"Qi Zhen, let me solve the matter of this Xinyuan by myself, don't interfere, okay?" Hatsumi aligns the road seriously.
Qi Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, it was not that he didn't have confidence in Chujian, but he didn't want Chujian to suffer a little grievance, he wanted to take her under his wing and treasure it carefully, but he didn't expect that he had just married Chujian into the door, and so many people in this mansion were eyeing her, if he couldn't do something for her, let others know that she wasn't something that anyone could bully, how could he rest assured that she would stay here?
He is too familiar with the unseemly methods of this mansion, everyone is kind, no one can see who will suddenly stab you in the back at any time, his father was so angry because of the fight of several concubines that he almost fell seriously ill, if it wasn't for Aunt Du later finding out that they still wanted to murder him and his mother, maybe this mansion would be even more chaotic now.
But whether it was only those concubines who were killed by Aunt Du's cane who wanted to murder their mother, the old prince and the old princess both knew it, but they didn't dig deeper.
"Qi Zhen, instead of you helping me get angry, it's better for me to stand up myself, if I don't do well, won't you just come forward when the time comes? If you don't let me try, how do you know I can't protect myself? Seeing him for the first time, he was still hesitating, and put forward his own opinion.
Qi Zhen pondered for a moment, and found that the first time she saw was also reasonable, she was the head of the Yunwang Mansion, if the servants in the family couldn't convince her, it would be difficult for her to be in charge of the house in the future, so it was better to take this opportunity to let her go to Liwei and mention it herself, "Okay, but you have to tell me, what are you going to do?" ”
At first sight, he smiled, "This is a secret, and I have to observe it for two more days." ”
She has decided, first find out the bottom of everyone in this mansion, not all the people in this Xinyuan can't be used, if all of them are replaced with new people, maybe it will be easier to fall into the trap of others, and it will be easier to be bought, so for the problem of these minions in Xinyuan, she still has to think carefully about a way.
What can be used is naturally to stay, and if you can't use it, you have to think of a reason for everyone to be convinced and send it away.
At this time, Lingyu came in with a smoking chicken soup.
Chu Jian let go of her mood and no longer dwelled on this topic, she smiled at Qi Zhen and said, "I see that you didn't eat much at the old lady's place just now, so drink some soup." ”
Qi Zhen glanced at her gently, and felt warm in his heart for her thoughtfulness.
