Chapter 43: Irritability
In the middle of the night, there was a lot of noise in the middle palace.
It's been a few days since I've had a quiet life.
There was chaos everywhere, and it was night, and although the lights were on, it was not possible to see it everywhere.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, which naturally gives people with a heart an opportunity.
Peony was nesting in the corner outside the side hall of the middle palace at the moment, looking nervously at the little chamberlain in front of her.
People come and go outside, but the relocation of the middle palace is really a big project, and at this moment, the masters suddenly made a noise again, and everyone's attention was not here, so no one noticed.
Peony wringed a handkerchief, her face was a little pale, obviously she didn't do any work, but her head was densely covered with a layer of fine sweat.
After observing left and right for a long time, and making sure that there were no others here, she jumped back with a cat, and said with an eager face: "You are too bold, so many people are not afraid to be seen!" ”
Her attitude was very bad, and even with undisguised disgust, but the middle-aged waiter didn't care, and only smiled at the corner of her mouth: "What am I afraid of?" I'm going to be seen......"
"Hehe" laughed twice, and he didn't finish his sentence.
Peony's face changed in an instant: "Shut up!" ”
She lowered her voice and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing again?" The last thing has been given to you, how long has it been, and it won't be half a month! I'm telling you, don't think you can do whatever you want with my handle, it's really pushing me to be anxious, don't blame me for fighting with you! ”
The chamberlain listened to her quietly, and did not say a word for a long time, until Peony gasped and looked like he was about to strangle him, he pursed his lips and smiled again, and said slowly: "What are you anxious about." ”
One hand stroked a handful of hair, the waiter cleared his throat, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Peony: "It has nothing to do with me this time, it was your mother who asked me to bring you a message, so that you can go back tomorrow." ”
"What?" Peony stretched out her hand to take it, but before she could look closely, her heart had instantly sunk to the bottom.
The waiter laughed again.
Because of the damage to his body, his voice gradually changed, and the laughter sounded strange, harsh and unpleasant, as if a rusty shovel was scratching in a pot.
Peony was disgusted for a while, and was thinking about whether to pierce his throat with a hairpin, when he heard his fluttering voice: "I heard that your eldest brother is going to say goodbye tomorrow, and your mother said that this list is a bride price for you to help your eldest brother prepare." ”
Sure enough, nothing good.
Patiently unfolded the paper, and only glanced at it with a slight light, Peony's breathing suddenly became heavier, and then he gritted his teeth and tore it violently, tearing the paper in half.
But this obviously could not relieve the hatred in her heart, she gasped and tore it several times before she said angrily with red eyes: "Old thief, she wants to be beautiful!" I'm still her own child, where did she let me go to get her so many things, this is to kill me, this is to kill me! ”
She walked around like crazy, but she also knew to keep her voice down.
In the eyes of others, I was afraid that I would be startled when I suddenly saw someone so manic without warning, but this waiter seemed to have long been used to it, even if Peony had jumped wildly, he still stood steadily.
Familiar with the familiar way took out another piece of paper from his arms and handed it over, he pouted and smiled.
"You just tear it, I have a lot of it here, your mother knows what kind of virtue you are, let people copy dozens of copies in, you have to be able to tear it up."
As he spoke, he simply pulled out the stack of papers in his arms.
"Ahh
Peony roared in a low voice, and the whole person was stunned, like a horse pricked by a needle, he pounced and wanted to rob it, but was dodged by the waiter sideways.
Even in the confusion, he grabbed her chest hard.
Peony's face immediately turned white, frightened, angry and disgusting, and subconsciously retracted her strength and squatted on the ground.
The middle-aged waiter was condescending, still with a smile on his face: "Are you scared now?" Aren't you going to tear it? Little thing, if you dare to do it indiscriminately, I will let you live happily today......"
Halfway through this, Peony was already shaking wildly.
Fortunately, he didn't continue the topic, just snorted coldly: "But it's useless if you tear it up, Ming'er, when you go out, she will tell you in person when you go home, can you hide?" ”
Hearing this in a chaotic manner, Peony finally calmed down completely.
Will she be able to hide? She couldn't hide.
Whether it's this damn disgusting old gelding who is as clingy as a fly, or the selfish and ecpartial old man at home who only thinks about his big brother like a bloodsucker.
For a moment, Peony suddenly felt a little dazed, not knowing why she was still alive.
A few years ago, when she was still at home, she was obviously very noble, although her family was not rich, but her father and mother responded to her needs, and even preferred to borrow money from relatives to give her the best.
The family has made great efforts to raise her, and the food is no different from the young lady of the big family, and the most expensive gentleman in the town is invited, so I hope that she will be able to get ahead one day, and help the family in the future, so that the family can also enjoy happiness.
Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is really proficient in everything.
Later, the Daliang Palace recruited palace maids, and her mother wasted a lot of effort to buy off the housekeeper to let her enter the palace.
Although she is a subordinate, but the people who serve are nobles, not to mention the emperor, anyone who can look at her, she can immediately fly up the branches and become a phoenix.
I saw that a good day was coming, but I never thought that it would be the beginning of a nightmare.
The damned steward was a devil who took the money and did his errand, and then stared at her like a fly and a mouse.
It's just a matter of asking her for money every once in a while, and then robbed her of her personal accessories, and also used her hands and feet, and once almost stripped her naked......
Fortunately, he is an old eunuch and cannot be humane at all, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Over the years, she has been assigned to the queen's palace as a sprinkler and sweeper, and the work is hard and tiring, and she can't get much benefit except for the silver in her share.
But her monthly money was either robbed by the old eunuch to gamble, or was asked by her mother to go, recently because Jiang Mengyun entered the palace, the peony was finally promoted, etc., and there was a lot more silver, I thought I could save some to leave a way for myself to go back, but I didn't expect that the lazy big brother at home would have to talk about marriage again!
Just like him......
Why didn't they die sooner?
Why not die!
Peony had a white face, her eyes were full of anger, and she heard the noise of the masters in the distance, and she suddenly became even more irritable.
Death here asks for money, and Jiang Mengyun doesn't know where to go there.
If she can stay in Tingyu Pavilion, it is naturally the best, she can also be a big palace maid in the house, and with the responsibility of monitoring her, Empress Xue will definitely give many more rewards.
If it was snatched by Concubine Xi, it would be easy to say, but if Concubine Xie won, then there will be nothing to do with her in the future.
What else will she be worth?
She has no value, where did she come from to make so much money!
When Peony went crazy, Queen Xue was also full of irritability.
I really didn't expect Concubine Xi's combat effectiveness to be so strong, this cry was too long-lasting, from the beginning of Fang Cai's "whoop" voice, she burst into tears, crying all over the place.
While crying, he said: "My third prince, they are all so old, I watched him smile at me, watched him cry to me, and sometimes grabbed my hand and shouted at me, if I lived until now, I would have been a child who could run and jump!" Concubine, you are good, your son has become a talent, can you laugh at others and poke at other people's sore spots at will? ”
She sobbed, and at some point she had grabbed the hem of Queen Xue's skirt: "Niangniang, the concubine's heart hurts!" How many times did the concubine wake up in her sleep, and she dreamed that the little prince was crying at me, and he blamed me for not taking good care of him and failing to save his ......life."
Concubine Xi cried so sadly, it's really no wonder that she.
Women always feel sorry for their children.
Besides, it is in this deep palace that it is not easy to get the dragon son.
However, there is also an element of exaggeration in the concubine, which underterm child will shout? He also grabbed his hands and shouted.
Empress Xue had no choice but to persuade her in a stiff tone: "Okay, okay, Concubine Xie is also angry for a while, isn't it hurtful for you to cry like this?" This palace knows that you have suffered a lot for this matter in the past, and now that you want to open it, you can live a good life and serve the emperor with peace of mind. ”
The original intention of these words was to make her ignore Concubine Xie and put down the past and look forward.
Who knew that it was okay if she didn't persuade her, but this persuasion made Concubine Xi really remember the old days.
Since there is no third prince, Yuqi Pavilion has become a cold palace, how many eyes has she suffered, how many grievances she has suffered, if it weren't for the trouble between Empress Xue and Concubine Xie this time, she would still be crying here at the moment?
I'm afraid I'm still in a daze in the Feather Pavilion.
As soon as she thought of this, Concubine Xi suddenly burst into tears, and she cried even more so that she couldn't wait to break her breath.
Concubine Xie Guifei's face was embarrassed on the side, and she couldn't help muttering: "What are you crying about, this palace just told the truth, can you only cry if you can't say it?" What's more, this palace didn't mean to reveal your scars, you haven't finished it. ”
Concubine Yan was crying sincerely, and when she heard this, she jumped up again: "What is this thing about the concubine, isn't this a deliberate scar?" If the second prince dies on the battlefield one day, I will also turn around and say that you are unlucky......"
"Smack" with a crisp sound.
Before Concubine Xi finished speaking, Concubine Xie suddenly changed her face, raised her hand and slapped her: "Who gave you the guts to talk nonsense!" ”
This time it was really changing, and no one could react.
Xie Guifei finished beating people quickly, and in the next moment, her body was crooked and she cried weakly and fell to the ground: "This is to curse my son, my Yu'er is still sick in bed, and someone is going to curse my Beichen again, I can't live anymore......"
She is very agile and quick to react.
If ordinary people encounter this face, they have no choice but to eat this secret loss and stop doing it.
But Concubine Xue never played cards according to common sense, seeing that Concubine Xie was lying on the ground and hiding her face and crying, she loosened Queen Xue's skirt, got up and took two steps to the front, raised her hand and hit Concubine Xie on the head and face.
