Chapter 33: Why

Concubine Xi first held her anger in the Fengxian Palace, and now she was reprimanded in the Kunyuan Hall for no reason, so she was naturally full of resentment, and returned to Yuqi Pavilion to close the door with a few low-ranking concubines and muttered, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

The third princess sat at the table and faced the damn "Female Rules", and she had to stop and scold three sentences every time she wrote a sentence.

blamed Queen Xue for a while, and pointed the finger at Jiang Mengyun for a while, and finally couldn't wait to go out immediately and dismantle her to enjoy it.

But Jiang Mengyun doesn't know about these things for the time being, and even if he knows, he won't take them to heart.

It really wasn't her business that the two of them were disciplined and punished.

Well...... No, let's close a little bit as well.

But it's really just a little, especially the concubine.

After all, if she hadn't designed the prince to hurt people, Concubine Xi would not have felt that she had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and rashly came out and became the focus of Queen Xue's suspicion.

The third princess was punished, and the relationship with her was a little more.

She wants to go out of the palace to the palace of Prince Li, and she wants to make a way for Queen Xue to stop her.

Since she entered the main beam, although Mo Xin'er has not really done anything bad to her, she has always been unscrupulous, sometimes she is unlucky, and sometimes she scolds her for being a pig and a dog, and sneers all day long.

Because of her bad identity, she also suffered a loss by ridiculing each other openly and openly, so it was very easy to use her.

But Jiang Mengyun can swear to God that she really just used her once.

As for the third princess in the back, she wanted to follow her in a faint way, and she was impulsive and had a strong mind to protect Mo Ziqi, obviously Empress Xue had already begun to misunderstand her relationship with King Qi, but she still didn't realize it, she just wanted to snatch the painting he made with his own hands......

None of this really has anything to do with her.

No matter how much it is calculated, Jiang Mengyun has no way of knowing that Empress Xue is such an arbitrary person, and she is unwilling to listen to her daughter's defense at all, and Mo Xin'er is so simple, she has not yet found out why her mother punished her.

Jiang Mengyun is just dedicated to doing what he wants to do.

The chaos in the outside world has nothing to do with her, and at this moment she is sitting firmly at the table, burning a warm charcoal basin and listening to Peony's answer.

Suddenly inquired about His Royal Highness King Qi, of course Peony didn't want to answer, but that day in Kunyuan Palace, she had obviously told Queen Xue about what she had seen on the way, and the three princesses jumped up in anger, but Niangniang didn't react.

I don't know if I believe that King Qi treats Jiang Mengyun so specially, or if I think there is nothing wrong with King Qi treating her specially, in short, Niangniang only told her to continue staring, and didn't say anything about how to deal with it.

Or do you want to cast a long line to catch a big fish?

Peony felt that she had guessed through her master's mind.

Raising her head, this woman was obviously deliberately inquiring about the news of King Qi, but she also pretended to be just chatting unintentionally, so she didn't want to debunk it in person, so she simply planned: "The slave maid heard that His Royal Highness King Qi did not want to start a family." ”

"How can a good person not want to start a family?" Jiang Mengyun obviously didn't believe it.

This was just an instinctive rebuttal, but when Peony heard it, she felt more and more that she had other plans.

She must be overwhelmed and wants to start a family with His Royal Highness King Qi. Otherwise, why would a daughter in a boudoir bother to inquire about a foreign man, it is still a big deal to talk about marriage.

The heart was sour, and Peony was still wiping the floor and wiping the table decently, and his body couldn't help but pause at this moment.

She looked up and replied, "How not?" After the death of Prince Lao Li, His Royal Highness King Qi was grief-stricken, and he was bedridden for nearly half a month before going out, and he also lost a lot of weight. Later, someone went to talk to the media, but he only replied that he didn't have this mind now, so he delayed. ”

This is naturally true, but Jiang Mengyun shook his head: "That was later." ”

Pretending not to notice the abnormality of the peony, she turned around and stared at the street scene of the capital of Daliang in a daze and asked, "But before, when Prince Lao Li was still alive, no one said to kiss?" ”

The head of the eight kings, the royal family and nobles, and such an outstanding and talented person, should be the target of the competition.

Peony's hand pinching the rag was obviously tightened: "The slave doesn't know about this." ”

Jiang Mengyun glanced at her, as if she felt a little incredible, and after a while, she suddenly realized: "You have been in the palace for five or six years, and you don't even know about it." In this way, when His Royal Highness King Qi was still the prince, he was not very famous in Daliang. ”

What is this called?

Why is it not famous?

I just don't want to tell you so much about it! Peony thought to herself.

But the next moment, he suddenly saw that Jiang Mengyun had completely lost interest, and he wanted to put this matter aside, and he was angry, and he couldn't hold back: "It's not that I don't know, the slave maid only occasionally heard the third princess complain, saying that although King Qi has a noble status, after all, the bloodline is not right......"

I don't know when, she has silently twisted the rag as a handkerchief: "Those high-ranking families are always reluctant to really marry him, and the lower the door, Prince Laoli can't look down on it." ”

When she said this, Peony's mood was obviously low, as if she was being looked down upon.

Jiang Mengyun glanced at her silently and let out a heartfelt emotion: "Really? It's almost the same as me. ”

For a moment, Peony almost couldn't help but punch Jiang Mengyun's narcissistic and nasty face.

But she still remembered Empress Xue's advice, and remembered that she couldn't easily offend the person in front of her.

After taking a few deep breaths, she finally smoothed her tone, pulled her mouth and put on a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Although His Royal Highness King Qi has improper blood, not everyone cares, not to mention that he is the prince after all, and the Holy Lord treats him very well." Now he is unwilling, and if he does, there must be more people coming to the door. ”

Peony felt that she had made it clear.

No matter how impure His Royal Highness King Qi's bloodline is, it is different from you, an orphan of an enemy country, you are not similar to him, it is much worse, two people who are far apart, don't think that you can marry into the palace.

"yes." Jiang Mengyun nodded, not knowing whether he understood the meaning of her words.

As if this was the end of the conversation, Peony lowered her head and began to wipe the table again.

But the next moment, Jiang Mengyun walked around from the front of the table to the back of the table, sat down and spread out a piece of paper, and asked again while picking up the pen: "I heard that Prince Lao Li has always been in good health, and he was not very old when he died, why did the good man suddenly disappear, was there something wrong?" ”

It's endless!

Peony clutched the rag, and her chest rose and fell, and she really didn't want to pay attention to it.

This is not unprecedented.

But when it came to His Royal Highness King Qi, Jiang Mengyun was not as good at talking as before, but this time he refused to give up easily, turned to look at her and said, "Speak." ”

She had to answer.

Jiang Mengyun rarely put on such a master's appearance, and the gentleness and warmth of the past suddenly disappeared, and there was inexplicably more indifference and indifference, which was indeed a bit bluffing.

Peony's heart was unstable, and she subconsciously opened her mouth: "There is no accident, Prince Lao Li was in good health, but after the death of His Royal Highness King Qi's mother that year, it was not as good as day by day." The year when his old man died, everyone in Daliang Capital knew about it and said...... It's sad excessively. ”

Excessive sadness.

Jiang Mengyun raised her eyebrows slightly, pretending to be inadvertent, and asked, "Then how did His Royal Highness King Qi's mother pass away?" ”

"I heard that she was injured when she gave birth to His Royal Highness King Qi," Peony stood up, really not wanting to answer anymore, "She has been recuperating in the palace all year round, and few people have seen her." ”

After that, he lifted the rag in his hand and sent it to Jiang Mengyun to take a look: "Although the slave maid has been in the palace for a long time, after all, she is only a low-ranking palace maid, and this is the only thing she knows." The house has been cleaned today, and if the girl has anything else to know, she might as well ask the queen. ”

Jiang Mengyun, who had been digging into the bottom of the matter, couldn't wait to ask the eighteenth generation of King Qi's ancestors, so he finally nodded and let her go: "Okay, then I will work hard for you." ”

Peony ignored her, as if she would be eaten if she stayed a little longer, and hurried out with her legs.

Jiang Mengyun only couldn't see it.

It was one thing to want to guide Peony to speculate, and on the other hand, she did want to know the inside story of this matter.

But she guessed correctly, Peony didn't give her any unexpected answers.

Prince Laoli was too sad, and King Qi's mother also died because of her poor health, maybe she thought too much, King Qi sent her Liang Yutu really just to repay the grace of saving her life back then.

Or perhaps, the truth is too well hidden by people with intentions and is easily undetectable, and the current King of Qi has to find another person to cooperate with, feeling that it is possible for the two sides to join forces to resist the enemy.

Jiang Mengyun can't be sure yet, but a family of three, two died, and the only one was chased and killed by people when he was walking outside, if he hadn't met their Jiang brothers and sisters back then, even King Qi would have died thoroughly.

It's not that simple.

While she was still thinking to herself in the house, Peony had returned to her house angrily.

Although she is a palace maid, after all, she is already a person who has been arranged by her master to do eyeliner, and the queen has spoken before, and she will be promoted to a first-class palace maid in two days, so not far from Jiang Mengyun's next door, Peony has her own residence.

The room is not big, but it doesn't need to be crowded with other palace maids.

As soon as she entered the house and closed the door, she threw the rag in her hand to the ground, and raised her foot and stepped frantically a dozen times, until she was panting and her face was flushed.

"Slut! Slut! She lowered her voice and scolded twice, but she didn't dare to really shout, paced back and forth several times, and then gritted her teeth and scolded: "Slut, shameless stinky slut, is it her who can inquire about Your Highness?" With His Royal Highness's different eyes, she doesn't want to climb the high branches! ”

Because of the crazy swearing, Peony's still delicate face suddenly became extremely hideous, and she scratched her ears and cheeks like a monkey for a while, trying to find something else to throw away, but she was reluctant, and finally picked up the rag again and tore it hard.

I didn't tear it.

suddenly became more and more crazy, and fell to the ground again, scolding the sky and the earth in a suppressed voice: "Since you want to climb the high branch shamelessly, don't blame me for grabbing your handle and making you lose face!" Die, die, die! ”
