Xu Sanniang had already figured out Yijing in private, and saw that she was gentle and polite, with a gentle temperament, and she was no different from Princess Fu, she was a weak and bully person, and she was secretly glad that it seemed that the thing planned by her aunt and mother should be able to do it, who would have thought that this was the first step to start, and before the critical time, Yijing said such a "cynical" sentence, which was very different from the earlier gentleness.

Where does she know, not to mention what the scenery is, even Yichen is not weak and can be bullied, but because of the "family education" she has always received, and because Concubine Li is the nominal mother of King Fu, she will not be disobedient, so she can only be instructed.

Xu Sanniang was not sober at this time, and responded with a smile: "Qiongyi is given by the Queen Mother to assist the princess ......"

"This is strange, I often go to Ci'an Palace, but why haven't I heard of such a palace daughter?" Yijing still smiled, but the tone was more ironic.

Xu Sanniang was stunned.

Yichen said at this time: "Qiongyi is not from Ci'an Palace, she is a maid next to her mother's concubine, because Niangniang was worried that I would not be busy, so she was asked to come to the palace to wait." ”

Yijing raised his eyebrows: "No wonder I don't know ...... Since she is not an old friend, why did she come to invite? ”

The little maid didn't know the details, and said softly: "The slave doesn't know." ”

"I think it's Concubine Li's mother, and I'm not sure what instructions I have, but I don't know if Ah Jing goes." Here, Xu Sanniang said with a smile.

There must be something strange in that study...... Yi Jing smiled back, and asked Yi Chen again: "I don't know if this Qiong Yi has a place?" ”

Xu Sanniang's smile was sluggish, looking at Yijing suspiciously, and asking the words so obviously in her heart is not the style of everyone's ladies.

"It's just a maid who is sympathetic to her mother." Yichen naturally told the truth.

When Siniang heard this, she interjected: "The eldest sister is too kind to her subordinates, and she is just a maidservant, and she dares to send someone to invite us." ”

"The eldest sister didn't expect that the people around the concubine in this palace were so arrogant and rude." Yi Jingqiao smiled, and glanced at Xu Sanniang, who was embarrassed but still puzzled.

Gentle and virtuous? It's really a joke, these so-called virtues that everyone has to follow are just used to pretend, and they really have to be so gentle that they are called by a slave and maid, and it is a laughing stock to say it.

Xu Sanniang also came back to her senses very quickly, and quickly changed the topic, fortunately, she expected that things would probably not be so easy, so she had to go out by herself.

A cup of tea has not yet bottomed out, and Yijing saw Yichen's eyes outward, so on one side, I saw a woman who was climbing the stairs and lightly carrying an embroidered skirt, wearing a garnet red embroidered with a narrow embroidered jacket with a flower butterfly, and did not lower her eyes, a pair of sparkling eyes, looking at the people in the pavilion unscrupulously.

Yi Jing guessed that this was Qiongyi, and raised the corners of her lips slightly-what kind of master there is, what kind of servant there is, looking at this Qiongyi's behavior, you can probably see the arrogant appearance of Concubine Li.

"The slave has seen the princess and the ladies." Qiong Yi was slightly blessed, raised a smiling face, and looked at Yijing with charming peach blossom eyes: "The slave maid used to be in the palace, and she also saw Wu Niang." ”

Yijing seemed to slide the lid cup carelessly, and didn't look at Qiong Yi, but just said softly: "So what?" Am you going to have to listen to you if you've seen me? This is already very sharp, and it is rare to say that the scenery is so sharp.

Of course, it was deliberate, impatient and pretending, and made the Xu family and Li Concubine think that their Su family's daughter was weak and could be bullied.

Qiong Yi was slightly stunned, the smile on the corner of her lips slowly fell, and she secretly glanced at the princess, seeing that she was also full of solemnity, obviously blaming herself, she couldn't help but sneer, in front of Li Concubine alive and easy to get rid of a soft prickle, in front of her mother's family, but also hardened, with a contempt for Yi Chen, Qiong Yi raised the corners of her lips again, and stepped forward slightly: "Wu Niang misunderstood, how dare the slave and maid send you, it is true that Li Concubine Niangniang was happy with you in the past, before the slave and maid left the palace, Give the slave a gold-inlaid jade bead and let the slave and maid hand it over to you. ”

This is a half-truth, Qiongyi has already received a lot of rewards from Concubine Li, and she uses this as an excuse.

"I see, it's ......" Yijing bowed slightly: "It's a beautiful concubine Niangniang, which makes people feel sorry for me, but I'm disrespectful." ”

Qiong Yi was a little proud at this time, and said in her heart that as soon as Li Concubine was brought out, these noble girls would not dare to slack off.

"Where's the step?" followed by a question, but once again made Qiong Yi, who had just put her face on the face, stunned again.

Yijing slanted at the corner of his eyes: "What, don't you want to hand over the step shake given by the mother?" ”

"This ...... Please also ask Wu Niang to move and go to the ...... with the slave maid."

"Qiongyi, do you still know the word rules." Watching from the sidelines, Yichen couldn't hold back any longer, although his tone was not too high, but it was full of solemnity, which made Qiongyi's heart freak and subconsciously take a step back.

"Since it was given by the mother, why didn't you report it earlier, conceal it until today, and you should also present it, but why do you want to let the fifth sister go to the study, what is the reason?" Yichen snorted coldly.

Yijing stretched out his hand and shook Yichen's arm: "It's a good day, why should my sister be annoyed by a servant girl who has nothing to do, just let her go back and bring what her mother has given." ”

Of course, Qiong Yi was very annoyed - not only did she not invite Su Wu Niang to the study smoothly, but she took a step in vain, and she was reprimanded by the two sisters, which really made people angry! Just as I was about to argue a few words, how could Concubine Li also be a noble person in the palace, and what she gave her, shouldn't she move to get it? Only then did she open her mouth, but she saw that Xu Sanniang was squeezing her eyebrows at her, and the hand hidden in her sleeve was swinging again and again, so she endured this breath and said: "It's all the slave and maid's negligence, please wait for Wu Niang, and go get it." ”

After Qiong Yi said this, she took a few steps back, and was about to turn around, but she heard the word "and slow", raised her eyes with some doubts, and met two cold sights, wrapped in a fierceness that was not obviously faint, and it came to her so straight, but it came from the little lady who didn't say a word just now, Qiong Yi had not seen it, but according to her guess, it should be another sister of the princess.

It was Siniang.

She and Qiong Yi looked at each other for a few breaths, then turned her face to Yi Chen, and smiled lightly: "I don't know if there are miscellaneous travelogues in my brother-in-law's study?" ”

Yichen replied: "The prince often reads some miscellaneous books in his spare time, so he should have collected some." ”

Qiong Yi couldn't help but slander - when did the prince often read miscellaneous books? Since she entered the palace, she has been waiting in the study with eagerness, and it has been more than a month, and she has not expected the prince to come.

Siniang had already gotten up: "I want to pick up a few." ”

Yichen would not refuse, and Siniang asked Yijing again: "Can the fifth sister go together?" ”

Yi Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, secretly thinking that Qiong Yi insisted on "coaxing" her to the study, but she was afraid that there was any plan, the fourth sister was usually a transparent person, and today she should have seen the strangeness, this will be so proposed...... After only turning his mind slightly, he understood Siniang's intentions, so he also smiled lightly: "I haven't seen my eldest sister for a long time, and I want to take advantage of today's good talk with her, so I won't accompany my fourth sister." ”

Siniang saw that Yijing understood, so she said to Xu Sanniang, who was stunned on the side: "Why don't you go with Ayu?" ”

Xu Sanniang was anxious that things were not as smooth as expected, and she was thinking about it, how to find an opportunity to discuss with Qiong Yi to avoid others, and with the sentence just now of Yijing, it really has the meaning of "chasing customers", if she insists on staying here, it will inevitably be a little too uninteresting, if it makes Yijing more impatient, or adds vigilance, it is undoubtedly more unfavorable to act, Siniang's proposal is really a just right step.

So he went to the study with him very happily.

Seeing the figure of Siniang and his party, out of the flower pavilion and gradually went away along the Fangfei sandwich road, Yichen also had insight into the strangeness of Qiongyi at this time, and was worried in hindsight: "Let Siniang go with me, I don't know ......."

Yi Jing waved away Xia Ke and Qiu Yue behind him, let them wait outside the pavilion, and took Yi Chen's hand to comfort: "Sister, don't worry, their purpose is mine, and they won't target the fourth sister." ”

Yichen was ashamed: "It's all because of my ......"

"Others are greedy and people's hearts are insufficient, what do you have to do with your sister." Yi Jing sneered: "Qiong Yi led me to the study so obviously, what kind of trap must have been arranged, can my sister be sure to find out secretly?" ”

Yichen has also been very wary of Qiongyi these days - not letting her get close to the main courtyard and get the opportunity to disturb King Fu. The study room of the inner house, located in a courtyard in the West Garden, is called Fanyin Hall, but it is really remote and deserted, not so much a study, it is more like a library, even if King Fu has a need, he just sent a subordinate to get the book, and he has never set foot on it. There is a side door in Fanyin Hall, connected to a Xiao Shengyuan, Xiao Shengyuan is only separated from the study in the outer courtyard by a corridor, where is the place where King Fu often discusses with the palace officials.

The study room in the outer courtyard is guarded by the royal soldiers, and even if Qiongyi intends to approach when King Fu is "serving the prince", he will be blocked.

Therefore, for Qiong Yi's purchase of the gatehouse at the side door of the inner house, and repeatedly going to Xiao Shengyuan to hang out, Yichen did not pay attention to stop it.

But at this time, I think about it, today's palace has a banquet, the ladies are all in the inner house, the male guests visit the garden or will go to Xiao Shengyuan, there are many people and miscellaneous things, if Qiongyi buys the mother-in-law at the side door, let in some people with ill intentions......

"Could it be the Sixth Highness......" Thinking of this possibility, Yichen was shocked.

Yi Jing shook his head: "Even if Concubine Li is confused, she will not take advantage of the reputation of the sixth prince to calculate me, besides, Qiongyi will lead me there this time, taking advantage of the fact that the guests have not arrived, so as not to attract more attention from others." My sister still secretly probed and found out what the Xu family was planning. ”

Yichen thought for a while - the steward at the second gate is her companion, the most loyal and reliable, when she will not be bought by Qiongyi, Qiongyi only has the opportunity to buy the mother-in-law at the side door of Fanyin Hall.

immediately instructed Zishu and asked her to inform the housekeeper Mama Bai, and first privately detained the mother-in-law at the side door for interrogation.

The mother-in-law had been rewarded by Qiongyi, and thought that she was a concubine, and sooner or later she would fly on the branches, so she agreed to Qiongyi's instructions, and at first she gritted her teeth and didn't speak, and when she saw that Mama Bai didn't say a word, she was going to be punished with a cane, so she was so frightened that she was scattered, and explained Qiongyi's instructions one by one.

It turned out that Qiong Yi often went to Xiao Shengyuan to hang out, and got acquainted with a guard surnamed Zhang when she came and went, and took a heavy gold bracelet to buy the mother-in-law at the side door, so that she could "listen to the order and pass the message" today, and when the time came, she would lead the guard Zhang into the Fanyin Hall from the side door!

When Yichen heard this, he was furious, and sneered repeatedly: "What kind of conspiracy are they going to do, do they want to harm you, fifth sister, ......?"

"Not yet." Yijing didn't feel half surprised, as if everything had been expected by her, and she didn't show annoyance: "Concubine Li's brain...... It's amazing...... She should have gotten Qiongyi's plan, and planned to take advantage of this Spring Festival banquet to arrange a private meeting between me and the palace guards, and threaten the elders to agree to the marriage, but I am just a princess daughter, He Laoli Concubine Niangniang is so calculated, even if she is satisfied, where will she put the face of the six highnesses? After thinking for a while, Yijing laughed even more: "There are still strange things in this. ”

It was a plan in a moment, and he said slowly in Yichen's ear.

After listening to this, Yichen shook his head frequently, his face worried: "How can I let my sister be in danger, and if you plan to get rid of Qiongyi, it is unfilial to embarrass your mother and concubine in the end......"

Yijing looked at her gentle and virtuous eldest sister in a daze, and sighed halfway.
