Chapter Eighty-Seven: Conspiracy

The three-day lockdown period expired, and Peaches and Wattles were finally able to go out.

Shui Jing was not angry, but Shui Lian was not there, and she had no one to talk to, so she packed up some clothes that should be washed, put them in a wooden basin, and went to the well pavilion next to the big kitchen to wash clothes.

There is a well outside the large kitchen in the inner courtyard of the palace, and the maids in the inner courtyard go there to fetch water and laundry, and the previous Princess Jiang simply asked people to circle this place with a flower wall and build a big hexagonal pavilion, so that even if it rains or snows, the maids can wash clothes here.

This hexagonal pavilion is called Shuijing Pavilion.

When the water thorn passed, several maids were already washing there, and two of them were waiting in the Spring Breeze Garden, chattering while doing the laundry.

Chunfeng Yuan lived in the prince's concubine room, so Shui Jing listened with his ears pricked up.

The two maids were talking about the princess's newly raised Aunt Lian, and one of them, a maid with thin eyebrows and a sharp chin, said, "...... Now Aunt Lian is favored enough, even Aunt Ping can't compare! ”

Another round-faced and black-faced maid smiled and said, "Have you noticed that the two aunts that the prince loves the most now are the maids who used to serve the second son......"

When the maid with thin eyebrows and sharp chin heard this, her eyebrows flew and she said, "It seems that this is indeed the case...... The second son has no mother, and the prince often goes to see him, and the maid who waits for the second son to fly on the branch will naturally have more opportunities! ”

Shui Jing listened to their words and snorted, very disdainful.

But I don't know why, thinking about the handsome, gentle, mature and steady prince, and then thinking about the gloomy second son Lin Jia, she can't help but feel a little moved......

Seeing that the willow was pale, Peach sat in the room and did needlework, so she went out for a walk.

She first walked around Cuiweiju and found that the door of the bright room was hidden, but there was a lock on the small door in the backyard, and the small courtyard was lived by Mother Yang, and there was a small guard in the duty room, which was like a thief to prevent her and the peach willow!

After shopping for a while, Peach took advantage of people's inattention, quietly left Cuiweiju, and walked around the garden for a while, and then went to the direction of Hongxi Courtyard.

Today, Qingzhou Zhizhou's wife Xu Zhiqing brought her daughters Xia Manyun and Xia Manling to see Princess Li, and Princess Li accompanied Xu's mother and daughter to talk in the main room.

Xia Manyun is the eldest daughter, but she is a concubine; Xia Manling is the second daughter, but she is a concubine.

Among them, Xia Manyun has clear water eyes, cherries, small mouths, pointed chins, shaved shoulders and thin waists, and is full of classical beauty; Xia Manling was born with a goose egg face and slender eyes, quite charming, tall and medium build.

Because these two daughters have no family, Mrs. Xia often takes them out to socialize.

Princess Li quietly looked at Xia Zhiqing's two daughters, and found that Xia Manyun, who came out of the concubine, was particularly beautiful, and she was like a lady who came out of the ancient beauty picture.

She made up her mind in her heart - she didn't want Lin Jia to marry a powerful wife!

After making up her mind, Princess Li asked with a smile: "Mrs. Xia, I don't know if Ling Qianjin has promised others?"

The reason why Mrs. Xia brought her daughter to the palace was naturally because there were now three unmarried sons in the palace, so she was overjoyed when she heard the words, but her face was very reserved: "No one has ever been allowed!" These two daughters are the top of my heart, so naturally I want to take a good look at each other! ”

When Princess Li heard this, she smiled slightly, and said, "Our second brother is now working with Lord Xia in the state government, and I also ask Mrs. Xia to say a few kind words in front of Lord Xia, so that Lord Xia can take good care of our second child!"

When Mrs. Xia heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said, "That's nature, princess, please rest assured!"

When Xia Manyun and Xia Manling heard this, they both lowered their eyes and became shy, but they were a little excited in their hearts - I heard that the second son of the palace was the descendant of the late Princess Jiang, and I don't know how she was born!

Mother Su, as a close confidant of Princess Li, was naturally waiting under the corridor at this time.

At this moment, Yuling, the little maid in her yard, came over, stood under the porch and whispered: "Mom, the peach of Cuiweiju is looking for you!"

When Su's mother heard this, she hurriedly said something to the eldest girl Sydney, and then took Yuling back to see Peach.

Peach was sitting under the porch in Su's mother's yard, accompanied by a rough mother-in-law, and when she saw Su's mother coming in, she hurriedly smiled and saluted.

Her breasts are really too big, but after walking a few steps, her chest is rippling with microwaves, and Su's mother admires herself - arranging such a stunner into the courtyard of the second son, I don't believe that Lin Jia is not moved!

After entering the bright room and sitting down, Su's mother opened the door and asked Peaches: "How is Cuiweiju these days?"

Peach grounded her and Shui Jing, the second son was only served by Yu Yu, and the fine willow has been a little strange recently, and everything has been said.

After hearing this, Su's mother was thoughtful, but the smile on her face became brighter and brighter, and she took a small silver coin and gave it to the peach: "You have worked hard, take it to buy flowers to wear!"

Peach took the silver bill, thanked Mother Su first, and then put the silver bill into her purse with great dignity.

Mother Su glanced at the peaches in the formal silver bills and said, "Did you finish eating the candied fruit you gave last time?" I'll give you some when I'm done! ”

When Peach heard this, she immediately smiled and said: "The candied fruit given by my mother, I and the fine willow love to eat it, and now we have eaten it!"

Mother Su's smile deepened, she went to the bedroom in person, and soon came out with a box: "This box is all for you!"

When Peach took over the box, she said as if she had no intention: "You have to have a good relationship with other maids in Cuiweiju, especially Yu Yu, don't be stingy at ordinary times, girls love to eat snacks, such as this candied fruit, you also let Yu Yu taste it!"

Peach agreed.

Mother Su took out another sachet and handed it to the peach, and said softly: "Find a way to put it under the bed of the second son!"

Seeing that Mother Su looked solemn, Peach didn't dare to ask more, so she hurriedly took it and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket.

After Peach left, Su's mother rested for a while, and then saw Princess Li go.

After sending Mrs. Xia and the two Xia girls away, Princess Li was resting on the brocade couch in the bright room, and Sydney knelt on the side and took a beauty fist to beat her legs.

Mother Su walked in and said in a deep voice: "Princess, the slave has something to report!"

Princess Li waved her hand and let the maids who were waiting in the house, Sydney, apples, oranges, and grapes, go out.

When only she and the princess were left in the room, Su's mother muttered: "Princess, the candied fruit soaked in strong spring and medicine gave a box of peaches, they often eat this candied fruit, even if the second son is not interesting to them, they will be stronger than the second son."

"The sachet filled with the end of the medicine has been given to the peach, and the second son doesn't drink realgar wine, maybe he will fall asleep and die when he dies!"

"Peach said that the willow was wrong, and I asked her to take another look."

“……”

Princess Li's smile deepened, and she was very proud: "I have already seduced the Xu family today, let's take a three-pronged approach, I don't believe that Lin Jia, this cub, can escape this time!"

Mother Su also laughed, thought for a while, and said, "Princess, the eldest prince ......"

Princess Li snorted and said, "Lin Yu has a cowardly personality and has always been cautious, so don't move him for the time being!"

Su's mother replied "yes".

Yu Yu felt uncomfortable and didn't go out all morning.

She hid the door of the bright room, took a few medical books, and sat and read in the inner study, wanting to see if there was any way to solve Lin Jia's hidden disease.

Peach returned to Cuiweiju, and Shui Jing and Willow had already retrieved their lunch, just waiting for her to eat together.

At lunchtime, Peach was in a good mood, and asked Xiaoliu with a smile: "I just saw that the door of the main room was not locked, why, is the second son staying at home?"

Shui Jing sneered, sandwiched a piece of tofu and ate it: "The second son naturally went to the yamen, and the one who is at home is Yu Yu!"

Peach scooped a sip of pheasant mushroom soup and drank it slowly, then asked, "Have you seen Yu Yu in the morning?"

Xiliu has been sitting on the couch in front of the window to do needlework, and said: "I have been doing needlework in front of the window in the morning, and I haven't seen her go out at all!"

Peach smiled: "Could it be that she went out and forgot to lock the door?"

Shui Jing had gotten along with Yu Yu before, and knew that Yu Yu had always been careful and thoughtful in her work, and she shouldn't do such a thing as forgetting to lock the door when someone was not there, but listening to Peach and Xiao Liu, they seemed to be looking forward to Yu Yu forgetting to lock the door, so they couldn't help but say nothing.

After lunch, Peach offered to send the dishes and chopsticks back to the big kitchen, so that Shui Li and the fine willow could take a nap in the room.

Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and the day is getting hotter and hotter, and everyone in the palace has always taken a nap.

The water wattle has always been very lazy, and can lie down and never sit; Since Xiliu and the eldest prince did that, there is still some swelling underneath, so naturally they don't want to move.

Peach was very generous, took out the box of candied fruit given by Su's mother, divided several for Shui Jing and Xiliu, and then went to the big kitchen.

When she came back from the big kitchen, Peach found that the water wattle and the willow were asleep, so she wrapped a few candied fruits in oiled paper and went down the verandah to the main room.

Now it is May, the courtyard of Cuiweiju is full of new green, the fragrance of flowers, looking up at the sky, the sky is blue, and there are cuckoos flying over from time to time, it is really the most comfortable day of the year.

Peach slowly walked to the door of the main room with the oiled paper bag wrapped in candied fruit, hesitated slightly, took a deep breath, suppressed the beating heart, and then said: "Sister Yuyu, are you there?"

Yu Yu didn't eat lunch, and was still reading in the study in the west dark room.

Hearing Peach call her, she was about to agree, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything, but quietly put down the book in her hand.

Peach didn't hear the answer, and she was still not at ease, so she raised the oil paper bag in her hand and called out again: "Sister Yuyu, I brought you candied fruit, are you there?"

Yu Yu still didn't say anything.

She looked at her feet—Yu Yu hadn't gone out today, and she was wearing a pair of light Bixuanluo soft-soled embroidered shoes that she wore in the inner room—these shoes walked on the road, but they didn't make a sound at all!

Peach screamed several times, and seeing that no one answered, she finally made sure that Yu Yu was not in the room, so she reached out and gently pushed the door.

The door was slowly pushed open with a "creaking" sound.

Peach glanced back, and saw that the courtyard was quiet, full of fresh green, and there was no one, so she picked up her skirt and entered the bright room.

She knew that Lin Jia lived in the East Dark Room, so she went straight to the East Dark Room's bedroom.

After lifting the curtain on the bedroom door, Peach entered the bedroom.
