"I said, why don't you see anyone in the yard, it turns out that they are all gathered here!"

The green-clothed maid stood by the pond with her hands crossed, and complained with displeasure: "Although Wu Niang is not here at this time, everyone can't be so blatantly lazy, and they all threw things to me together. ”

Yingsheng sneered: "Who doesn't know that you are the most diligent person, and you always like to make up in front of Qiushuang and them, and we don't want to compete with you." ”

Hongyu saw that the two maids were arguing, and hurriedly mediated: "I shouldn't have missed Sister Cherry, you are tired for a long time, so you also come to rest and pad your stomach with some pastries." ”

Cherry didn't appreciate it: "I'm not as idle as you, I only know how to play when I receive the monthly money in the house." ”

"You haven't become a first-class maid yet, so you give us orders, and you don't see if you are qualified, Sister Hongyu is kind, you even dare to rehearse her, you really have to do it yourself?" Yingsheng replied with a sharp voice, she should have been on duty with Cherry today, she was lazy and came to the Lotus Pond Pavilion with the red rain, and everything in the house fell on Cherry, so when she heard Cherry's words, she felt that it was for her, of course she was not angry.

Hongyu said with a smile: "Sisters, don't hurt your peace for this little thing, let's say less, Sister Cherry has been busy for a long time, and it is inevitable to be anxious, but your sisters are not intentionally lazy, but they are just busy, and the five ladies are generous, and they will not criticize the ...... of the subordinates."

What a clever person, where is this talking about peace, it is clearly to oppose the cherry and the maids, saying that she is too harsh. Yijing sneered, she still knew a little bit about Hongyu, and knew that she was a little proud in her bones, relying on the granddaughter of Mama Song, and her father was the manager, she felt superior, but in her previous life, she admired Hongyu's temperament very much, and she had to give orders to her subordinates, and she wanted to worry about herself.

For this cherry, Yijing has no impression, thinking that she offended Hongyu, she must not stay in Luqing Garden for a long time.

I heard her say again: "This is Luqing Garden, it's not your turn to be a maid from Songtao Garden to point fingers, how can the five ladies also be discussed privately by us slaves?" Is it that reprimanding subordinates for not doing the right thing becomes a harsh reproach? You are just a house slave, so you can't think you are not a slave? ”

What a sharp-tongued maid! Yijing said darkly, so he glanced at the cherry twice, and saw that she was still cross-waisted, staring at the red rain with disdain, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Who doesn't know that Hongyu is Mama Song's granddaughter, and most of them flatter her, why doesn't this cherry buy it, is there any other knot between the two?

Hongyu has become a maid since she entered the house, where has she been so powerful, Rao is she is full of calculations, in the end she is still a girl in her early tens, and her Taoism is still a little shallower, this time her face also turned red, and her smile was hidden, and her eyes flashed with a vicious edge: "Sister Cherry has taught her a lesson, but everyone is a slave and a maid, so why bother with each other." ”

"Little Hoof really doesn't know what to do!" Yingsheng was full of desire to please Hongyu, and immediately "spoke up": "Do you really think that you have become a first-class maid?" Do your daydreaming! Don't think that you can be promoted by working hard in front of spring twilight and autumn frost, don't you know, when spring twilight leaves the pavilion, Sister Hongyu will be transferred to Luqing Garden to fill the vacancy, and the first-class maid will still be able to take your turn? Don't pee either! ”

Hearing this, Chundui's hand shook again, but Yijing didn't want to listen anymore, turned around and walked back: "It's not quiet here, let's go back to the room." ”

Yu Zhou also immediately followed, and said with a smile: "The maid in the courtyard of the fifth sister is really alive and fragrant, and she has all kinds of temperaments, but I see that the red rain is a very deep city, and at a young age, you can be happy and angry, if you are loyal to the master, it is fine, if you have other intentions, the fifth sister should be careful." ”

Yi Jing was so surprised that he even forgot to cover it up and looked sideways at Yu Zhou.

He actually made her guard against the red rain? Really...... Surprisingly.

Yu Zhou misunderstood the meaning of Yijing's surprise, a pair of phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth had a smug smile: "The fifth sister thinks about what the maid said just now, it seems that both sides are not offended, and they are trying their best to persuade her, but in fact, they provoke the girl who is called Yingsheng more and more angry, and I think that I hate the maid who accused her in my heart, and besides, the fifth sister may not have noticed, when Hongyu finally said that sentence, the tone seemed to be nothing, but the look in her eyes made people feel cold, this maid, I'm afraid it's not simple." ”

It is indeed not simple, and it is not simple that Yu Zhou, who is only fourteen years old at this time, can be observant in detail, no wonder his stupid self in the previous life can't see through his true face, step by step into the trap he laid down.

Yi Jing smiled sweetly: "Brother Zhou is really sharp-eyed...... But it's just a few maids playing tough and ruthless, can they turn the world upside down? I like the wit of Red Rain. ”

"Smart people naturally like to be smart, and even if she is a little smart, she doesn't dare to be reckless in front of her fifth sister." Immediately changed the direction of the wind, and Yu Zhou flattered.

She is a clever person, but I am the most ignorant one in the world, Yijing thought ironically, turned his head to Chundui and said: "I think that cherry is really powerful, who doesn't know that Hongyu is the granddaughter of Mama Song, and the maids in the mansion are all flattering her, why did Cherry dare to confront her face and sweep her face?" Could it be that behind this cherry, there is a stronger backer than Mama Song? ”

Chun Du died of shame and anger because of the discussion of the maids just now, and he has been a little worried, and he was stunned before he said: "She is also a child, Lao Tzu originally drove for the old Guogong, called Dong Lin, who died of wind and cold the year before last, Dong Lin's daughter-in-law is now working in the flower and herb house, and there is a brother on the cherry, and now she is a little girl in the account room, and she runs errands to collect the monthly account book in the Zhuangzi, where is there any backer." ”

Yu Zhou couldn't wait to show off: "The fifth sister doesn't know, some people themselves are upright temperament, even if they know that they will suffer, they can't help the fire in their hearts, they often say that they are brave and unscrupulous, which refers to this kind of people, not to mention a girl who can't read big words, even some well-educated people are also repeated, just like there is a Qing official director of the Ministry of Rites in the court, but he is just a positive six products, and he has no real power in his hands, and there is no backer behind him. Depreciated again and again, first the deputy supervisor of the Yuanma Temple, and now I don't know which county in the local area is the main body, and then the depreciation will not enter the stream. ”

Chun Du is a kind person, although I don't understand the difference between the head of the Qing Officials Division and the deputy supervisor of the Yuanma Temple, I probably understand what Yu Zhou means, she can't intervene in the major affairs of the court, but there is no need to hesitate to say a few good words for Cherry: "Cherry is a diligent person, articulate and clever, was transferred from the needlework room a few years ago to wait, a female red is good, but it is too straightforward, it is said that before also collided with the Luo family, only to stay in the sewing room, her mother begged Mama Yang many times, before entering the Green Garden, The slave and maid looked at her and was kind to the little maid below, but she was a little discordant with the warbler in the same room. ”

"The sound of the warbler is usually lazy?"

"In Luqing Garden, she is also considered to be old, so some work is often instructed to the little maids to do, and the slave maid has also said that she has changed a lot on the surface, but in the end she is still not as diligent as Cherry."

"One is honest and willing to work, the other is cheating and cheating, no wonder the two are not in harmony." Yijing thought for a while, and then asked, "Luo family's grandmother is Hongyu's grandmother?" ”

"Exactly, to say that the Luo family and the cherry old man still live in the same courtyard." Spring twilight answers.

No wonder Cherry has this attitude towards Hongyu, it turns out that there is really an old grudge, but if Cherry only has a grudge against the Luo family, she will put the account on Hongyu's head, and this girl's mind is not pure, and the scenery is dark.

While talking, he went back to the house unconsciously, because of Yu Zhou's surprise visit, Yijing didn't want him to enter his bedroom, so he let the maids go to the small hall behind the hall after the hall with tea, and the two sat in the chair one by one, drinking tea and talking.

Chu Wangfu and Weiguo Mansion are neighbors, and they are relatives, they are really good at the family, Yuzhou is a frequent visitor to Luqing Garden, and they are also familiar with the maids, and they don't regard themselves as outsiders at all.

talked about some interesting things in the national prison, and created a very lively atmosphere in the pantry.

Yi Jing listened to it without saying a word, and finally became a little impatient, so he interrupted him and asked, "How are Uncle Chu and Second Uncle Chu?" ”

"Good ......"

"How are my uncle and grandmother and second aunt?"

"There is no big problem in the body......"

Paused slightly: "Brother Feng's body is good?" ”

was slightly stunned: "The eldest brother's body is like that, and my grandmother is worried when she mentions him, but he still doesn't stop." ”

What does that mean? Yi Jing was about to ask carefully, but Yu Zhou seemed to be extremely reluctant to mention the prince of Chu, and while diverting the topic, his happy expression paused: "Something happened to my family, and it was a lot of trouble...... I came here today, one is to visit my fifth sister, and the other is to hide from Qingjing. ”

Yijing had to follow his words and ask what was going on.

Yu Zhou sighed briefly: "I don't know what my father thinks, I have been raising a servant outside for more than ten years......"

That's new! Yi Jing was slightly surprised, in her impression, General Zhenguo is a serious person, not a person who messes with flowers and grass, although the house also accepts a concubine room, or the old princess is the master, in the previous life, I only knew that he and the general's wife Xie had a very harmonious relationship, and I didn't hear the rumors of raising people outside.

"Don't be an unfounded rumor out there, right?" Yi Jing said assumedly.

"My mother didn't know how to hear about it, and she quarreled with her father day and night, but my father couldn't help it, and admitted it himself, and said that Na Ling gave birth to a daughter, who is eleven years old this year." Yu Zhou looked very troubled, and his usual pair of phoenix eyes were slumped listlessly at this time.

……

"My grandmother asked my father and said that she was named An Jin."

Yu Anjin? How is this possible? In the memory of the eighteenth year of the beautiful scenery in the previous life, there was no such person at all!

But before she could ask again, the first goodbye to Yu Zhou was suddenly interrupted, and the little servant from the Zhenguo Mansion came in with a message-

"Erlang go back to the house quickly, I heard that Mrs. found out the house outside the general, and took the next person to make a scene, the general was angry, came back and slapped Mrs., and said that she would take the mother and daughter outside back to the palace, Mrs. was angry, and took San Lang back to the Zhenguo Mansion."

Yu Zhou was full of helplessness, and went back in a hurry.

Yi Jingshen was shocked, and while asking Qiu Yue to inquire about the sudden event of the Chu Palace, he was thinking about today's conversation with Yu Zhou.

At this time, he didn't seem to start planning a conspiracy, and his openness and honesty to himself was not like cheating, let alone colluding with Mama Song and Hongyu, but Yijing still couldn't be sure, because in his previous life, he had already appreciated Yu Zhou's ruthless and hypocritical methods.

In her previous life, she had never taken the initiative to talk to Yu Zhou about the prince of Chu, and there was no way to know if Yu Zhou had a grudge against the prince for a long time, but what he said today was obviously not very friendly to the prince. suddenly remembered the Lantern Festival night of the tenth year of Yuanqing, when the prince died, she asked Yu Zhou why he deceived her and gave her the poison that caused death, Yu Zhou said the words in an emotional state -

"Yes, I hate him, I wish he died! Everything he has should belong to me, he took the title that should belong to me, he snatched you ...... Yijing, you never had him in your heart at all, you only have me in your heart...... He should have died a long time ago, he should have died with Princess Chu when he was five years old! ”

At that time, she was so distraught that she didn't have time to carefully taste the meaning of these words, but now she thinks about it......

It's incomprehensible.

If it is said that because of the marriage of the queen mother, he became the princess, and it is reasonable for Yu Zhou to hold a grudge against the prince of Chu, but why would it be said that the prince of Chu snatched his title?

The law of Dalong etiquette stipulates that the title can only be inherited by the eldest son, if there is no son-in-law, the heir to the title must be approved by the Holy Emperor, and Yu Zhou is not even the concubine of the king of Chu, just a nephew!

Although according to the saint's faith in the king of Chu, if the prince dies, he will definitely allow the king of Chu to succeed the son of the general of Zhenguo as the heir and take the title, but this is not a legal law after all, but a holy grace, not to mention how ridiculous it is for the prince to take away the title of Yuzhou.

Why did Yu Zhou resign?

And why is it said that the prince of Chu should have died at the age of five, and why did he say that the prince should have died with the princess of Chu!

Didn't Princess Chu die of illness? Is there something strange about the prince of Chu who has suffered from illness since he was a child?

When this thought passed through his mind, Yijing suddenly stood up from his chair!

If Princess Chu died unexpectedly...... The illness of the prince of Chu was due to poisoning...... It's Yuzhou......

No, it can't be, the prince is four years older than Yu Zhou, and when Princess Chu died, Yu Zhou was just a baby.

Yijing shook his head, and couldn't help laughing at his whimsy.

But I suddenly realized-

It is impossible for Yu Zhou to design for himself at this time, because at this time he is still twelve years old, far from the age of discussing relatives, whether it is his grandmother or his parents, he has no plans to let himself marry into the Chu Palace, Yu Zhou cannot be a prophet, and at this time he designed a plot to deceive his trust and use his own hands to poison the prince, but it is clear that Mama Song has already begun to act, otherwise she would not have deliberately designed to let Chun Du marry far away and arrange Hongyu to her side.

Could it be that Mama Song was not bribed by Yu Zhou at first, but had other intentions?

It seems that something has been ignored by myself, but my thoughts are too chaotic to find the clue to unravel the mess.

Perhaps, we should start with the cause of death of Princess Chu.

Just imagine, if the princess of Chu died of poisoning, and the disease of the prince was also man-made, then who would this murderer be? Of course, it can't be Yu Zhou, but he is the beneficiary.

The answer seems to be on the horizon......

But if this is the case, why does the world only know that Princess Chu died of illness?

Or because it involves the secret affairs of the royal family, so the truth is concealed, which is very likely, reminiscent of the grandmother's desire to stop talking before she got married in her previous life......

Grandmother should know something, Yijing thought silently, secretly planning in her heart.

To solve these doubts, you must start with the secrets in the palace of the king of Chu, but unfortunately in his previous life, he was confused, and he never thought about inquiring about these things.

Rejoice in being reborn again.

No matter who is behind this conspiracy and how many people are hidden, we must find a way to wipe them all out, and no longer let the prince of Chu live in the shadows and threats, this is the only thing I can do for him, and the only thing I can make up for.

Maybe it's also the only reason why I'm reborn.

So now......

No matter what reason Mama Song is trying to gain her trust now, she naturally can't let her get her wish, but about Hongyu, it's better to let her stay by her side, how can she rest assured that she will stay by the side of her unsuspecting eldest brother? What's more, if you don't give her a chance, how can you understand what their purpose is.

Although there are too many doubts to find a breakthrough for Jian Jian, Yijing still has a mess in her mind, but she gradually has a clear plan.

"Twilight!" Suddenly raised his voice.

Chun Du was in a daze in the porch, suddenly heard the shouts of the master, stood up in a panic, subconsciously touched his face, his palm was moist, and quickly took out a silk handkerchief to wipe away his tears, adjusted his breathing, and then entered the room, raised his eyes to see Yijing sitting in the carved sandalwood chair in the small hall, the corners of his lips smiled slightly, and a pair of dark ink eyes were as clear as usual, but Chun Du suddenly felt that the bottom of the little master's eyes flowed with an undercurrent that she couldn't see, and it seemed to be as deep and cool as an ancient well.

I was slightly stunned.

"Come and sit down, I have something for you." Yijing no longer hides her maturity beyond her years, she decides to let Chun Twilight stay by her side and fight side by side, so that Chun Twilight doesn't need to feel that she is still a naïve and unsorrowful girl, first of all, she should let Chun Twilight trust herself, so that she will not be confused and wavered by her orders in the future.

"Wu Niang...... The slave didn't dare to ......," Chun Du hurriedly excused herself.

Yijing didn't speak, just watched her quietly, and it was not difficult to see that the corners of the red eyes in the spring twilight had been crying? Why? Could it be that Chun Du actually doesn't want to marry far away? This is the best, lest I have to find a way to convince her, I can't say, I know that after you marry Ninghai, you will die within a year, so you better not marry.

The master and servant were in a stalemate for a while, and Chun Du finally couldn't bear the silent pressure, blessed his body, and sat down on the side of the brocade pier on the side.

But listening to Yijing, he sighed slightly-
