Chapter 55: Eyeliner 2
"Peach Core should have been deceived." Lan Xiaoyu helps Taoxin speak. She has no doubt about Taoxin's loyalty, in the previous life, Taoxin used her life to prove her loyalty to Lan Xiaoyou, "This girl doesn't have many scheming, that Wanfang has the intention to lie to her, she will definitely not be guarded." ”
Xinghong nodded vigorously: "Miss is right. That Wanfang had the heart to befriend Taoxin, but Taoxin didn't know that she was a spy who had infiltrated the mansion. ”
Lu Xiu dissipated her anger when she heard this: "Fortunately, it's good that she didn't betray the third lady, otherwise I would never have spared her." ”
Taoxin is her chosen successor, she doesn't want to be slapped in the face, and she doesn't want people to say that she has a bad eye.
"But Taoxin's gullible character still needs to be changed, Xinghong, you go and call Taoxin." Lan Xiaoyou commanded.
"Yes." Xinghong turned around and went out, and after a while, she returned to the house with the peach core.
As soon as Taoxin entered the room, he knelt down: "Woo, Third Miss, it's the slave's fault, the slave leaked the news of the Third Miss, please punish the Third Miss." ”
After speaking, he lay on the ground and cried silently.
Lan Xiaoyu let Taoxin cry, let Lu Xiu take the book to herself, sit on the head of the bed, read the book to kill time. Xinghong walked behind Lan Xiaoyou with a candle in her hand, so that Lan Xiaoyou could read the book more clearly. Lu Xiu also walked to Xinghong's side, and the two of them stood silently, not saying anything. In the room, there was only the sound of peach core crying and the sound of Lan Xiaoyu flipping through the book.
After a long while, Taoxin gradually suppressed his crying, and Lan Xiaoyou slowly spoke: "Remember this lesson?" ”
Taoxin nodded vigorously again and again, and sobbed: "The slave and maid remember, they will no longer be gullible, and they will not dare to reveal the news of their master at will." ”
"Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped."
Taoxin was startled, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Third Miss, please don't let the Second Young Master drive me out of the Hou Mansion." ”
"Don't worry, I didn't think I'd ask you to leave." Lan Xiaoyou said, "Originally, I asked you to do embroidery for a few months, and then you will return to me when you have tempered your temper." Now that something like this is happening, I can't punish you. Even if you are a rough girl in the yard, are you dissatisfied? ”
Taoxin shook her head violently, she was lucky enough to stay in the Hou Mansion and stay by the third lady's side, how could she be dissatisfied?
"Alright, you can go down."
Taoxin gave Lan Xiaoyou three kowtows and exited the room.
Lan Xiaoyou closed the book and handed the book that he hadn't read much to Lu Xiu: "You guys go out too, I'm going to rest." ”
"Yes!" Lu Xiu and Xinghong left the room together.
The inside of the room became dark, and there was no moon tonight, no moonlight, and the whole room was even darker. Lan Xiaoyou waited until there was no sound outside, and his mind moved, and he entered the space.
A few days passed, and the true yuan in Lan Xiaoyu's body increased somewhat, but the realm did not improve. Lan Xiaoyou felt the difficulty of cultivation and had to work hard to cultivate.
The next day, the matchmaker invited by the third prince really came to the door. This matchmaker is not very old, at most in his thirties, but he ranks very high in the official media and is very capable. Its ability is not manifested in the fact that it can speak with one mouth, but that it is very familiar with the various systems and processes of the official media, and is very careful. And the private media, although one mouth can say a flower, but if they want to say all the regulations of the official media, few can really say it.
Let the matchmaker come to the door to propose this step for the lottery, which is the first link of the first step of the six rites. The Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion had already agreed with the three princes, and the matchmaker came to the door just to go through the motions, and Mrs. Lan invited the matchmaker out after inviting the matchmaker to drink a cup of tea.
The matchmaker replied to the three princes, and three days later, the three princes came to the door with the wild geese they had personally called, which was the second link of the lottery. The two sides exchanged names and eight characters, so that half of the six salutes were completed. This marriage is decided, and there is no need to be too anxious to find a master monk with eight characters after that. As soon as the first three ceremonies came out, everyone in the capital knew that the three princes and the Marquis of Jingyuan were married. The second prince was so angry that he smashed the tea bowl in Concubine Zhao's palace.
"The third child's movements are really fast." The second prince said angrily, "Why did he decide to marry privately without his father's consent, and he was not afraid that his father would punish him?" ”
Concubine Zhao sighed and said: "It's a bad move for us, three years ago, Concubine Xian reported to the emperor about the matter of the third child and Miss Lanfu, and asked the emperor for a decree, so that the third child can go to the Hou Mansion on his own when he is old." Your father may have forgotten this purpose before. ”
The second prince gritted his teeth: "The third child is really cunning enough." ”
Both mother and son held their breath.
"Mother, it's time for your palace to be cleaned up." The second prince reminded Concubine Zhao. If it weren't for the spies sent by other concubines in Concubine Zhao's palace, the fact that he wanted to marry Lan Xiaoyu would not have been leaked so quickly, and the people of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion and the three princes would know about it.
Concubine Zhao shook her head: "It's not from my palace. ”
When he knew that the third prince asked the matchmaker to go to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion to propose marriage, Concubine Zhao asked people to clean up the subordinates in her palace, but she did not clean up the suspicious people, and he already knew a few spies, and it was impossible to know what Concubine Zhao and the second prince said at that time with the identities of those people. Concubine Zhao trusted her subordinates to control her, she had quite some means and abilities, otherwise she would not have held the emperor's heart tightly for decades.
"I didn't say anything about marrying a girl from the Lan family in the mansion, if it's not someone from your palace, who else will it be?" The second prince was puzzled.
Concubine Zhao pointed in the direction of the Qianqing Palace.
The second prince took a breath: "Concubine Xian actually arranged eyeliner next to her father? ”
"It doesn't have to be someone who is a virtuous concubine." Concubine Zhao said, "I prefer the queen's people." ”
The second prince snorted: "The queen is about to be deposed, and she is still so restless." ”
Concubine Zhao said: "It is precisely because she is going to be abolished that the queen will do this." She passed on the news that you wanted to marry Miss Lan to Concubine Xian's mother and son, and wanted Concubine Xian's mother and son to match our mother and son, so that the boss could fish in troubled waters. Hmph, I've been fighting with her for so many years, how could I be fooled by her! ”
"Mother Concubine is wise, how can the queen be your opponent!" The second prince presented a high hat, "But this woman also has some means, and at this time, there are still people who are loyal to her and do things for her." ”
"After all, she has been a queen for more than 20 years, how can she not have two or three points of connections in her hands." Concubine Zhao said, "That's the end of it, the question you can think of, how can your father not imagine it?" If there are no personnel changes in my palace, your father will have to clean up the people around him. At that time, the queen's ending will be more than just a cold palace, and your father will definitely give her a glass of wine. ”
