Chapter 233: Twists and turns, there are no dangers
There was a turmoil in the theater studio, and the beautiful scenery and Xu Sanniang who left did not know it, at this time, they were along the Fangfei sandwich road, bathed in the soft spring sun, watching the flowers competing for beauty, and the mood was just right - at least the beautiful scenery was in the right mood.
Xu Sanniang first gossiped a lot before turning the topic to the incident in the morning: "I know that Qiongyi misbehaved in the morning and offended Ah Jing......" While looking at Yijing, seeing that she was noncommittal, Xu Sanniang then said again: "Originally, she was in the palace, because Concubine Li Niangniang treated her closely, and she was used to speaking bluntly, and she had always heard Niangniang mention it, and only regarded Ah Jing as her own family, and she had a sense of closeness in her heart, so she didn't take a good sense of proportion for a while. β
This is your own family? Xu Sanniang's sense of proportion is really good, Yijing felt a sigh in her heart, and still didn't say anything.
"Ah Jing just forgive me, it's really my family...... It is not as strict as the public waiting mansion, and the restrictions on slaves and maids are not so strict. β
Kindness? This seems to accuse oneself of being domineering and harshly criticizing others? Yijing's heart became more and more funny, Xu Sanniang looked at her well-behaved and clever, but her brain also followed Concubine Li, how to show weakness was not good, and finally said idly: "Ayu, don't be careful, I didn't take it to heart." β
Xu Sanniang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Wei Shi Qiongyi wants to invite Ah Jing to Fanyin Hall, because there are a few cherry trees in the yard, and they are blooming brilliantly, and Niangniang once rewarded her with some good tea, so she wanted to entertain Ah Jing." β
It's really an honor to be entertained with a good tea from a maidservant...... Yijing couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, so that he could continue to perform his moving appearance: "I haven't seen any cherry blossoms in this garden, but there are in the study?" β
"Not really...... Does Ah Jing want to see it? Xu Sanniang hurriedly said.
Yijing frowned slightly, a little disgusted by Lu Yuan's appearance: "I heard the eldest sister say that the study is in a secluded place in the west......"
"Actually, I've heard about Ah Jing's chess skills, but I hate that I don't have the opportunity to ask you for advice, but it just so happens that there are chessboard chess pieces in Fanyin Hall, and it's in a quiet place, I just don't know if Ah Jing thinks I'm stupid." Xu Sanniang had a plan, she was so "shameless to ask", she even used stupid words, Yijing would not refuse, if she didn't look at anything else, she had to look at Concubine Li's face, she was Concubine Li's niece.
Yijing really didn't want to refuse, so he reluctantly agreed, and then went to Xiyuan with Xu Sanniang.
Qiong Yi had been waiting in the Fanyin Hall for a long time, and finally saw Xu Sanniang coming here with a beautiful view, and there was only one maid of the Xu family behind her, she was really overjoyed, and praised Sanniang for being clever, but she couldn't wait to come out, thought about it, or stopped her steps, turned around and went to the corridor of the study, and sat with her back.
Xu Sanniang and Yijing entered the courtyard door, and pointed to the one-person Gongyue door hole in the verandah on the right, but saw that outside a row of side rooms inside, there were indeed a few cherry blossom trees.
"We've traveled all the way, and we're a little tired, so why don't you sit by the window, you can enjoy the flowers and tea, Ah Jing said it's okay?" But he didn't wait for the beautiful scene to respond, so he raised his voice and greeted Qiongyi: "Qiongyi, why don't you make a pot of good tea that you kept?" β
Qiong Yi pretended to be at this time to find that "the distinguished guest is coming", and he stepped on a small broken step full of enthusiasm to greet him, a curtsiaf salute, but respectful.
The beautiful scenery is naturally "arranged" by Xu Sanniang, waiting for Qiongyi to hold the tea, looking at the very delicate glass tea bowl, clear and jade, pouring out the light blue tea, with the floating smoke coiling, there is a curling fragrance.
There should be something strange in this tea, right? The scenery is dark.
Qiong Yi poured tea, and no longer stood in front of the two of them, so she retreated first, and Yijing watched her impatient steps, disappeared around the corner, and smiled lightly - it should be to go to the side door, let the woman ventilate the news, and lead the guards in, right?
Only then did he retract his gaze, but saw Xu Sanniang smile gracefully, hold the tea cup to her lips, take a sip, and praise it repeatedly: "Sure enough, it is a good tea rewarded by the mother, the color is clear and transparent, the mellow fragrance is around the teeth, and there is a sweet aftertaste." Seeing that Yijing didn't drink, Xu Sanniang pinched the silk handkerchief in her hand: "Ah Jing doesn't want to taste it?" β
It seems that the strange thing has fallen into the teacup......
Yijing smiled lightly: "It's a little hot along the way, wait for the tea to cool down a little before tasting it." He looked at the servant girl standing behind Xu Sanniang again, patted his forehead, and seemed to remember something important: "I was negligent for a while, and I came to the study with Ayu, and I didn't have time to tell the elders, I was afraid that if something happened later, the elders would not be able to find anyone." β
Xu Sanniang was afraid that Yijing would leave because of this worry, so she hurriedly instructed the maidservant: "You go to the flower garden, report to A-Niang, and say that I and A-Jing are sitting here, and by the way, I will also report to the Duchess of Zhiguo." β
When the maidservant girl left, Yijing picked up the teacup and put it to her lipsβ
She clearly captured the eagerness in Xu Sanniang's eyes.
Sure enough, it's very strange!
Only slightly touched his lips, and the beautiful scenery fell: "It's still a little hot." But he suddenly got up, looked out the window, and said in surprise: "There is a black purple plant in this flower garden." Without saying a word, he went out and bent down to look at the peony.
Xu Sanniang was very anxious, and went out closely, while pressing, she also sighed a few words, and kept aiming in the direction of the doorway, for fear that Qiongyi's hands and feet would be too fast, so she would let people in.
Yijing "enjoyed" for a while, seeing Xu Sanniang's face full of delicate redness, the sweat from the sideburns has dripped down the arc of the cheeks, in fact, although this spring sun is harmonious, the breeze is still a little cool, if it is not impetuous, will not sweat on the cheeks, Yijing is a little "malicious" thinking, if she insists on "waiting" here to bring people back, the person next to her is afraid that she will be the first to "heat stroke" fainting.
But he finally straightened his waist, deliberately wiped the "sweat" on his forehead, and said: "Although spring came late, I suddenly felt hot." β
Only then did Xu Sanniang look relieved, she quickly turned around and returned to the room where she was sitting just now, and deliberately distanced herself from Xu Sanniang.
When she entered, she saw the tea cups on the table, and one of them was already smiling as she expected.
Xu Sanniang's mood after this "big ups and downs" and "nervous", only felt that her knees were soft, her pace was vain, and she calmed down after slowing down, and then followed into the wing room with great vigor, and as soon as she entered, she just saw Yijing put down the tea cup in her hand, and the clear glass was clear and empty, and she completely let go of the heart hanging in her throat, and her smile returned to lightness.
In the next conversation, Xu Sanniang's attention was always focused on Yijing's eyes.
"Why can't Qiongyi see anyone?" But overheard Yijing ask.
Xu Sanniang's fingertips on her lap trembled slightly, clenched subconsciously, and said with a smile: "It's me who doesn't let her bother, Ah Jing doesn't like her in the first place." β
"But why didn't she prepare a chessboard for us? Yes...... Ayu forgot to tell just now. Yijing smiled: "Don't you want to play against me?" β
Xu Sanniang: ......
After a few breaths, Fang knocked on his forehead: "Look at my brain, the weather is warm, and I feel sleepy after noon, doesn't Ah Jing feel it?" I couldn't help but feel a little troubled in my heartβwas the drug prepared by my mother good? How can I see that Su Wu Niang didn't react at all, could it be that something went wrong, how could this be good, counting the time, the guard was afraid that he was about to come in.
Yijing had an epiphany in her heart - as expected, she opened her mouth and wanted to "tease" Xu Sanniang......
Xu Sanniang was uneasy, only to feel that her heart was pounding, and her nervous emotions were full of viscera, so that her lower abdomen was stuffy and painful, but she suddenly saw that Yijing's eyes were in a trance, and she finally pressed her eyebrows with her hands, and her whole body gradually leaned towards the tea case uncontrollably.
"What's wrong with Ah Jing?" Xu Sanniang asked with urgency.
"Listen to what you just mentioned...... Before he could say the word "sleepy ......" could be spoken, Yijing's head was completely hung down on his arm, and he lay on the tea table silently.
Xu Sanniang sighed for a long time, called twice, and saw that Yijing didn't react at all, so she closed the window according to the earlier agreement, hurriedly covered the door, and left the remote courtyard quickly.
A gust of wind passed, and a few pink cherry trees in the courtyard were smiling and trembling.
said that at the side door, Qiongyi's progress was not as smooth as she expected - this side door, the bolt was in Xiao Shengyuan, and the gatehouse was naturally located on the partition wall, Qiongyi smeared the drug in the teacup, and trotted all the way here.
After staying in the palace for more than a month, she knew that the situation would not be as smooth as she expected earlier, Princess Fu, who was mediocre and unamorous, seemed to be very much "heart" of King Fu, Qiongyi knew that her situation was not optimistic, and she could only rely on Li Concubine, and only by promoting the marriage between the six princes and the Weiguo Mansion and making this great contribution could she get the full help of Li Concubine, otherwise, she would be a dispensable chess piece.
racked his brains, and because of a coincidence, he decided on this plan to frame the Su family's five mothers and use it as a lever to coerce the Weiguo Mansion into compliance.
On the other side of the door, the mother-in-law, who had experienced the "frightening interrogation" in the morning, had already prepared, and only then heard the sound of the door and opened the door.
"Mama do according to the plan, Guard Zhang has already made arrangements today, and he is on duty in the study of the outer courtyard." Qiong Yi said.
"Girl, I thought about it, this thing is still inappropriate...... but the mother-in-law stuffed the gold bracelet back to Qiongyi without saying anything: "A man is put in this place, if there is any leakage, can it be traced back to me at once?" The girl has the support of the nobles in the palace, but the old woman is just a slave, this is ......"
"Mama is trying to change the hexagram!" Joan Yi is in a hurry.
"Although I love money, I have to have a life to enjoy it......"
"Don't worry, Mama, I will keep you safe."
"No, it's not that I don't trust the girl, and I have no basis for telling the truth." The mother-in-law shook her head into a drum and pushed Qiong Yi out of the door.
Everything is ready and only the east wind is owed, but nothing can go wrong here! Qiong Yi was anxious in her heart, and thought about it, as long as this matter is successful, Concubine Li will inevitably ensure that she is safe, even if the princess reacts, she has to take care of Concubine Li, and she doesn't dare to do anything to her, so she gritted her teeth, stuffed the gold bracelet back to her mother-in-law, and took off a golden lotus fat jade bracelet from her wrist, and pushed it into her mother-in-law's arms: "You take a good look at this jade bracelet, it was given by the mother herself, and the things that came out of the palace were made in the palace, and there is a table in the gold, with this, are you still worried that I will cross the river and tear down the bridge?" Mama, if this is done, I will gain a firm foothold in the palace, and your benefits in the future will not only be this, you must measure it clearly. β
The woman took a closer look at the fat jade bracelet and made sure that there was indeed a mark at the gold-clad junction on the top - she didn't know the mark of the internal bureau, but after the princess's "teaching" today, she had an understanding.
didn't refuse again, so he agreed to Qiongyi's instructions, went out through Xiao Shengyuan, and went to the study on the opposite side of Yongdao to "pass the message".
