Chapter 20: Jealousy

After Murong Wantian learned that Xia Yuyan was pregnant, she suddenly became jealous, and like Wantian, Luo Yanqing also had jealousy. Xia Yuyan has a pure mind and no scheming, and the Xia Guogong Mansion has no court power, and there is no one behind her, so Xia Yuyan should be said to be the enemy on her back.

Night...... Jiuyu received a letter, after opening it, she recognized the handwriting of the letter, Jiuyu sighed softly and explained a little to Bixiang, and then came to the tea pavilion of Hezhou Lake mentioned in her heart.

"What's the matter with me?"

"Jiuyu, I know that you are not happy, you said that you married the prince of the dynasty that day, and you loved it the most in your heart, but now I don't feel a trace of true love between you and him in you."

Jiu Yu sneered, "Affection is indescribable, even if I am fortunate or unlucky, it has nothing to do with Pei Gongzi." Son's family already has a second wife, if it is not clear with me, I am afraid that it will not be good for you and me. ”

Pei Qianhao sighed, "You and I both understand, why I would marry the two of them, if it weren't for protecting you, I wouldn't have left Qingfeng Guan at all." ”

"But how did you protect me? When I was insulted by Mrs. Mei, when I was ridiculed by Murong Wan, when I was robbed of love by Zhan Hongyan, when I was framed and lost the son in my womb, have you ever asked half a sentence? Jiuyu's tears came out of her eyes, and they were no longer caught in their eyes.

Pei Qianhao wanted to pat Jiu Yu's back, but there was no reason to stretch out his hand. The hand that had stopped in the air paused and then retracted. At this moment, Pei Qianhao looked at the pear blossoms and rain in front of him, and he didn't know what to say for a while, Jiuyu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised his head and looked at the moon, "Do you know, the night I got married was such a moonlight, I thought that Princess Changping was a tragic character, but I never expected that the prince would treat me like a treasure, but he is the prince, three wives and four concubines are common, and now with the side concubine by her side, I am afraid that the princess is useless." ”

"Su Zisheng was in the sand before the war, with extraordinary bravery, leniency and strict self-discipline, I thought about it, I was afraid that the outside world was wrong, but I didn't think that he and that Zhan Hongyan really owed you a deep affection." Pei Qianhao turned to look at Jiuyu, who smiled bitterly, "Why am I not like this?" ”

"Come with me, I know you are not happy in the palace, if you leave with me, I will treat you only in this life." The serious expression on Pei Qianhao's face was not moving, the first talent in the state in front of him wanted to give up his fame and his happy family for himself.

Jiuyu smiled coldly: "Is Pei Gongzi going to abandon the two ladies in the family for me?" ”

Hearing Jiuyu's words, Pei Qianhao paused, "Everyone in the world, how can they compare with you!" ”

"No one in the world can compare with me, and a wife who is married can be abandoned, and a son in the womb can be given up. How does Pei Gongzi let Jiuyu believe that I am the only one in this world? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound in the alley not far away, Jiuyu flew down the tea pavilion, and chased into the depths of the alley but only saw a back, that in a gorgeous dress, it looked like a rich wife. Jiuyu was a little flustered, and if she could escape under her nose, then this person must be a master. Pei Qianhao chased after him and saw the empty alley, "Ran away?" ”

"Yes. Ran. ”

"Do you see clearly?"

Jiuyu shook her head lightly and then turned to face Pei Qianhao, "Senior brother, this is the last time I call you Senior Brother, it is inconvenient for you and me to see each other now, Senior Brother's intentions Jiuyu understands in her heart, but now Mrs. Xia still has your flesh and blood in her womb, if you are sincere for me, please treat her well." After saying that, Jiu Yu turned around and left without looking back, leaving Pei Qianhao to stand alone in the deep alley, how much Pei Qianhao regretted that he did not notice the matter of Zhan Hongyan and King Changping earlier that day, if this matter was put to an end, Jiu Yu at this time was afraid that he was on his knees with King Chenghuan of Changping, and he was happy. But now that he has lost his beloved and no longer mentions it, who knows the pain of losing a child.

Pushing open the door, Zhan Hongyan withdrew her cloak, and then sat in the room, with a solemn face, Ginkgo walked up with a cup of tea, "Why did Niangniang have to go out and look so ugly?" ”

Zhan Hongyan frowned and shook her head, thinking about the two people she saw in the Qizhou Lake Tea Pavilion just now, she didn't know what it was like to feel in her heart, it was inappropriate to say that she was curious, and it was even more inappropriate to say that she was excited.

"Ginkgo, a late-night tryst between a married man and a married woman is a big sin?"

"Mother, but what did you think of?"

"I didn't expect it, but I saw it with my own eyes this time." Zhan Hongyan leaned back on the chair, gently picked up the cup of tea, took a sip on her lips, her lips were slightly raised, and her phoenix eyes revealed a calculating look.

In the east room, Jiu Yu leaned on the couch, red sleeves stood aside, Bi Xiang pushed the door and walked in, "Miss, why is your face so bad today, but the injury last time has not healed?" ”

"It's okay, it's already fine."

"Miss, you look like you're on your mind. Go out tonight, but what's going on? ”

Jiuyu shook her head, "What else can happen?" It's just the duty of driving September. Then he closed his eyes slightly, leaned back on the couch, and looked tired. Red Sleeves and Bi Xiang slowly retreated, Red Sleeves was just about to go back to the room, Bi Xiang grabbed her hand, "Miss is strangely tight today!" ”

"Anyway, I'm afraid I'm just tired."

"You didn't find out that Miss was not wearing a September red dress today, nor did she draw a flower day, but she said that it was an accusation of driving September, and every time Miss went out as a red September, she was full of joy when she came back, what happened today?"

"You say so, Miss Today is really a little abnormal." Redsleeves bit his mouth and said.

Bixiang nodded, "Miss told me a thousand times before going out, if the prince goes to the east room, he will think of dragging him to the young lady's home, this is probably the most abnormal, it stands to reason that the prince knows the identity of the young lady, so why not let him know that the young lady is not in the room?" Bixiang was really sensitive, "That's why something big happened today." ”

At this time, Jiuyu leaned on the couch, recalling the beautiful past in the Qingfeng View, but she couldn't help but think of the night when the candle in the cave room, she tried hard to make her mind full of Pei Qianhao, but Su Zisheng's shadow always flashed, and Su Zisheng's voice and smile were all in front of her, as if she couldn't get rid of it.

The next day, Zhan Hongyan sat in the corridor, pinched a peony flower, and put it on the tip of his nose, "How many days has the prince not been back home?" ”

"It's been seven days since I returned to my mother." Meijuan lowered her head, Zhan Hongyan's face became very embarrassed, threw the peony flower in her hand, and smashed it hard, the petals were scattered everywhere, Meijuan saw this and hurriedly knelt on the side, "Don't be angry!" Ginkgo glanced at Meijuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Angry?" Zhan Hongyan stood up abruptly and grabbed Meijuan's arm, "Do you know how long I haven't seen the prince?" The prince has not returned to the house for seven days, but I haven't seen him for a month, what is my position in his Su Zisheng's heart? I'm afraid this house is full of people watching my jokes! ”

"Niangniang, don't think like this, Niangniang forgot? You are a mother who has lost her child, when do you want to see the prince? The corners of Ginkgo's mouth rose slightly. When Zhan Hongyan heard this, she slowly let go of Meijuan's arm, and with a roll of her eyes, she said, "Go to the imperial doctor and say that my body is not happy." ”

Meijuan didn't react for a while, and Ginkgo stepped forward and slapped her, "Niangniang is talking to you!" ”

"Yes...... Be. Meijuan trembled and knelt on the ground and said, then slowly retreated, walked on the way to the Imperial Medical Pavilion, sighed slightly and shook her head, "I don't know when it will be the head, and the temper of this concubine is too uncertain." "I ran into the red sleeves of the jujube cake in the kitchen.

"Sister Red Sleeves."

"Isn't this Meijuan, who just arrived at Concubine Zhan's side? But do you also go to the kitchen to get food? ”

"My mother's body is not happy, Meijuan went to the Imperial Medical Hall to announce the imperial doctor."

Red Sleeves frowned and said, "Concubine Zhan has been in poor health since she lost her son in her womb two months ago, but she needs to take care of it." ”

Meijuan lowered her eyes slightly and nodded, and just as Red Sleeves was about to leave, Meijuan opened her mouth and shouted, "Sister Red Sleeves!" Red Sleeves turned around and looked at Meijuan, who was spitting.

"What else?"

"Is the princess good to her sister?"

Red Sleeves looked at Meijuan with red cheeks strangely, and slowly stepped forward, "What's the matter?" Did the side concubine beat you? ”

Meijuan shook her head, and then bean-sized tears were left on her cheeks, "To be a slave and a maid, it is natural for the master to be, but ...... It's just that...... She and I are both slaves, why...... Why...... She's going to ......"

After listening to Meijuan's words, Red Sleeves seemed to understand, and then sighed, "It's ginkgo." ”

Meijuan nodded, and then shook her head hard, "Sister Red-sleeved, is there still a shortage of people around the princess?" Even if it's a rough girl! ”

"It's just...... How can the princess open her mouth to ask for the girl beside the concubine. Don't embarrass the mother. ”

"As long as the princess speaks, the prince will definitely agree." As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Cao walked over from the side. The two saluted and greeted, "Mrs. Cao is auspicious." ”

Mrs. Cao squinted at Meijuan, "What's the matter?" Looking for a good master? ”

Meijuan lowered her head and didn't speak, and Mrs. Cao sneered, "The slave maid has even begun to choose masters, and has also learned the method of climbing high branches, I never thought that such a thing would happen in this palace." ”

Red Sleeves paused, and then said, "The princess is still waiting for the slave maid, and the slave and maid will not accompany the lady to gossip, and the slave and maid will retire first." Then he glanced at Mrs. Cao and stepped back. Leaving Meijuan and Mrs. Cao, Mrs. Cao looked at Meijuan who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and sneered, "What are you going to say this time?" Are you ready to follow the princess and enjoy the blessings? ”

"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare."

As soon as the words fell, Ginkgo came out from afar, "Mrs. Cao is auspicious." Then he made a regular salute. Then squinted at Meijuan, who was kneeling on the ground, "Niangniang asked you to ask for an imperial doctor, after this time, why are you still kneeling here?" Have you offended Madame? ”

After that, he slapped Meijuan in the face, "Today I want to teach you a lesson, Madame is merciful, even if you are hit, you have to be patient, I can't tolerate you such a false courtesy!" ”

Seeing Ginkgo treat Meijuan like this, Mrs. Cao frowned, Ginkgo didn't take herself in her eyes at all at the moment, even if she was just a lady, she could be regarded as half a master, that Ginkgo was just a slave, and she didn't restrain herself in front of her. It can be seen that this Meijuan is not having a good time in the west room every day, so it is no wonder that she wants to go to the east room to serve.

"Ginkgo, you discipline your subordinates like this on weekdays?"

Ginkgo heard this, then slowly turned around, squatted slightly, and then snorted coldly, "Concubine Niangniang said, I am respected in the West Room, and I have the right to discipline any subordinate, not to mention the West Room, even in the entire palace, I must be afraid of me." Mrs. Cao, it's not that Ginkgo boasts, the powerful slave is much stronger than the master who loses power. ”

"You ......" Mrs. Cao gritted her teeth angrily at this sentence, and before she could speak, she was interrupted by a sudden sentence.
