Chapter 13: An Opportunity to Escape
At noon the next day, Qiu Mengmin's eldest maid Hongyao personally came to invite Qiu Lulan to come over: "Regarding the eldest prince's fall into the lake last night, as well as Aunt Bian and others, it is said that the county lord also knows, and now the prince wants to try it personally, and he also asks the county lord to move and help the prince to determine right and wrong." ”
This kind of thing can't be avoided, Qiu Lulan didn't want to hide, took Su He, and got on the soft sedan chair happily.
When I arrived at the back hall of the palace, I saw Mrs. Lu in the first place, and Qiu Mengmin was sitting in the second seat with a ashamed face.
The others were not treated to sit, even Princess Yang and Qiu Yuqing knelt at the front of the crowd, and at this moment, except for Mrs. Lu's mother and son, of course no one dared to stand.
However, Qiu Yulan didn't plan to join in the excitement, so as soon as she entered the door and saw this situation, she immediately raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, coughing to death, and her body was also swaying as if she was about to fall down at any time!
Seeing this, Qiu Mengmin frowned, so he had no choice but to say, "You sit down and talk." ”
"Thank you, uncle." Hearing that there was a seat, Qiu Yulan immediately stopped coughing, and walked steadily-her perfunctory style made Mrs. Lu's mother and son have a touch of ruthlessness in their eyes at the same time.
"You came just in time, Hongzhi fell into the lake last night, he didn't see clearly who the person who pushed him was, some people saw that it was the Bian family, some people saw that it was the Liu family, who are you talking about?" Qiu Mengmin's face was gloomy and he commanded.
Qiu Yulan said innocently: "My niece doesn't know what to say. When the eldest brother fell into the lake last night, the niece was talking to the old lady Lu, and the niece only knew about the eldest brother falling into the lake when the little maid ran to tell the old lady Lu. The others are ignorant of nothing. ”
Qiu Mengmin frowned and said, "You don't stay in your room in the middle of the night, what are you doing in front of your mother?" ”
"Because Cousin Kang was injured on the face." Qiu Yulan's answer made everyone in the hall stunned, and even Princess Yang, who was kneeling there with low eyebrows, looked up at her suspiciously.
Qiu Mengmin was naturally confused, and turned her face to ask the old lady: "Mother?" ”
Old Madam Lu said coldly: "Obviously, someone thinks that you can't be angry with me during the day, and wants you to chase after you at night - do you want to dodge around and around?" Speaking of this, he slashed at Princess Yang, but Princess Yang lowered her head and didn't see it.
"Old lady, this is your mistake, obviously you remembered that my grandmother had an ointment that can scar in her marriage, and you shouted at me to go to your side to inquire at night, why did you turn your head and refuse to admit it?" Qiu Yulan frowned.
Hearing this, Princess Yang clenched her fist hard, and anger flashed on her face!
"What? Do you have a scarring ointment there?! Qiu Yuqing immediately shouted at Qiu Yulan, "Give it to me!" Did you hear that?! ”
Qiu Yuqing gave birth to a son and a daughter, the son died, and the daughter was her only hope.
Kang Lizhang's beauty was invited by the princess to the palace for a banquet two days ago, which is like seeing a golden avenue for Qiu Yuqing, who had to marry someone casually in the market because he was kicked out of the palace!
I thought that I would be able to be majestic with my daughter in the future, but I didn't expect that after a day of pride, I was ruined by my niece!
Now I heard that Kang Lizhang is expected to recover his appearance, where can he still hold it?
Su He saw that she was about to pounce with her teeth and claws, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly protected Qiu Yulan, and said vigilantly: "Mrs. Gu, calm down, our county lord is weak!" ”
"What's her weak? Cheap. People were beaten by me two days ago and were dying, but now they can move! It will be loaded! Qiu Yuqing scolded angrily, "You get out of here!" If you don't hurry up and get the ointment out, the old lady will slap you to death! ”
"Romance!" Old Madam Lu suddenly shouted, "You stand down!" ”
"Mother!" Qiu Yuqing didn't expect that her own mother, who had always said this, couldn't help but be stunned.
"Do you really have such an ointment there?" Mrs. Lu raised her eyelids and asked lightly. She didn't say anything about Concubine Xihe's dowry, but only said that Qiu Yulan was in her hands, obviously denying the content of the conversation between the two last night.
Qiu Yulan smiled: "You have a really bad memory, I won't tell you last night?" The bottle of ointment had already been used up in my grandmother's hands. ”
"You !!" Qiu Yuqing and Mrs. Lu's face sank at the same time! Princess Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but then showed suspicion - did Qiu Yulan want to entertain the mother and daughter? Where did she come from to rely on this?
I heard Qiu Yulan continue: "But this ointment is not only in my grandmother's marriage. ”
Old Madam Lu looked at her daughter again, stopped her impulse, and asked, "Where is that?" ”
"The secret gyokuro paste in the palace is also used to remove scars." Qiu Yulan said neatly, "But the gyokuro cream is extremely precious, and its main effect is not to scars, but to nourish the skin!" Even in the palace, it has always only been supplied to the queen mother and queen - even the concubines and princesses are rare to see! ”
"Gyokuro cream?" Old Madam Lu muttered to herself, as if she was stuck in a memory.
Qiu Yu asked anxiously: "Mother, this little cheap. Is what people say true or false? ”
"I've heard of it once." Old Madam Lu glanced at Qiu Lulan resentfully, she was not from a high background, and most of her knowledge was written down by the side when she served Concubine Xihe in the past. Qiu Yuqing was still young when she was kicked out of the palace, and although she was the daughter of the old Xihe King, she didn't have the vision and bearing that Miss Wangfu should have.
"Li'er's broken appearance has a lot to do with you!" Old Madam Lu's face turned gloomy, and she said sharply, "In order to compensate her, it's up to you to find a way...... Get some bottles for Lil! ”
"I said, this thing can only be owned by the Queen Mother and the Empress." Qiu Yulan said lightly, "Who do you think Cousin Kang is?" ”
Qiu Yu was unreasonable and said: "I care about you? Anyway, if you can't take out the gyokuro ointment to heal my daughter, I'll cut you dozens of slashes on your face......"
"Are you being unreasonable?!" Qiu Yulan turned his head to look at her, suddenly grabbed the tea bowl in his hand, slammed it in front of her, and said loudly, "It's against you, isn't it?!" You have no taste and no grade, and you have been kicked out by my grandmother a long time ago, calling you Aunt is to give you face! You're a little bit of a on the left. The nose of the right little hoof is on the face! What is the title of my county lord!? Is there still a royal law in your eyes?! There are no rules, you shout again, believe it or not, I will be here with blood for five steps, I will see how you explain to the court - my cousin Ruan is a scholar! I can get on the book! I really thought I was dead and no one asked?! ”
One trick is eaten all over the world, since the Xihe Royal Mansion is afraid of Queen Jiang and Ruan Qingyan, and now he doesn't dare to take her, how can Qiu Yulan let go of this opportunity to vent? Immediately, the tea set, fruit bowl, and even the bonsai that were placed in her hand were grabbed by her and smashed on Qiu Yuqing!
Qiu Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and then rushed up to beat her like an angry lioness, and scolded in her mouth: "You dare to talk back......"
"Stop her for me!" Qiu Mengmin and Mrs. Lu shouted in unison!
When Qiu's words were dragged down, the mother and son looked at Qiu Yulan with heavy eyes: "Don't think that Ruan Qingyan, a stinky child, can keep you...... You know who we're not moving you for! Say your terms! Don't go too far, don't forget that Ruan Qingyan hasn't made the list yet! Even if it wins the list, the Xihe Royal Mansion is the royal mansion in the end! ”
"I'm going back to Nguyen's house for a few days." Qiu Yulan returned to his weak and sick appearance at this time, and said lazily, "I'll bring it to you when I come back...... Don't think I have that in my hand, if I had, I would have used it myself! I have to rely on my grandfather's face to see the old ...... That's not too much to ask, isn't it? ”
