Chapter 269: Deliberate Temptation
In fact, the more carefully she thought about it, the more she recognized Bo Xinlan in the bottom of her heart. Others, even if they have the motivation to act, cannot do so well.
At this time, the goal was already set on Bo Xinlan, so when there was no one else, it was most appropriate to ask directly.
If you wronged her, it's just a vain question. But if it was really Bo Xinlan's doing, only by asking this question could we see Bo Xinlan's most direct reaction.
After Rong Yunxi finished speaking, she still lowered her head and blew the hot tea in the teacup, but her eyes did not leave Bo Xinlan's eyes, and she always raised her eyes to look at her.
Rong Yunxi found that when she asked this, Bo Xinlan's eyes were surprisingly calm, and there was no fluctuation at all.
This is not normal.
"Dongxue, did you go to Shengping Courtyard last night?" After listening to Rong Yunxi, Bo Xinlan turned around in surprise and asked about the winter snow behind her.
Dongxue shook her head innocently: "No, Niangniang, didn't we rest a long time ago last night?" ”
"Yes", Bo Xinlan turned to look at Rong Yunxi and said, "Yesterday, the concubine was very tired, and she rested early after dinner. There was no need to come close to serve, Dongxue was always in her room. ”
Rong Yunxi nodded and said with a smile: "Maybe someone is wrong." ”
"But what's going on over there in Seoheiwon? The concubine felt that the mother seemed to be checking something. Bo Xinlan said with concern.
If this is the end of this remark, it is a bit unreasonable.
Rong Yunxi knew that she was not stupid, so if she didn't say anything about Rong Yunxi's sudden questioning, Rong Yunxi would definitely be suspicious. There is no need to shy away from it, just ask if something happened to Shengpingyuan with such concern, but it is the best way to clear your suspicion.
Rong Yunxi smiled: "It's nothing. It's just that someone said that I saw the winter snow on the side of Shengheiyuan, and I suddenly remembered it, so I asked casually. ”
smiled apologetically: "Actually, His Royal Highness invited the crown prince and the two princes and princesses to come over for a banquet, and they should have called my sister." The day before, I was talking to His Highness. But His Royal Highness remembered that his sister was pregnant, and he was afraid that it would be noisy and noisy, so he didn't let his sister come over. If the winter snow doesn't go there, I'll be relieved. Otherwise, I still wondered if my sister had something to do with her Highness, but in the end she didn't do it. ”
"Now that there are Mama Wu and Jing Min in Yilan Courtyard to take care of, and Mama Jin is paying special attention, everything is very cheap, and nothing can trouble His Highness. Don't hide it from Niangniang, the concubine is in the bottom of her body and mind, and she is most afraid of being said to be arrogant because she is pregnant, so even if there is really something, she must try her best to suppress it, and she is not willing to come over easily to trouble His Royal Highness and Niangniang. ”
Rong Yunxi smiled and didn't say anything polite to her again. Instead, quietly bow your head and drink tea.
It's just that Bo Xinlan's expression just now, the affirmation in her heart is one more percent. Now, there are ninety percent sure that Bo Xinlan did this. As for the uncertainty of that one percent, it is actually irrelevant.
If Bo Xinlan really didn't know anything about this matter as she wanted to show, her instinctive reaction when she heard someone see Dongxue should be surprised, rather than listening to her so calmly. She deliberately controlled her emotions and didn't let herself show her flaws. If it weren't for the weakness of the heart, why would you be so deliberately controlled?
As for the words after that, they were naturally confusing her. Bo Xinlan must know that she didn't have any conclusive evidence, so she was just trying to ask this. So she is not in a hurry, but is fighting with a calm heart. I feel that the more I don't shy away from it, the more I can clear my suspicions.
But her momentary reaction had betrayed her.
After a while, all the concubines in the palace arrived. This time, Lu Caixi didn't have to sit at the bottom, but consciously sat on the first chair on Rong Yunxi's right hand and squeezed out Feng Yayi. Feng Yayi came late, and saw that her place was robbed, but she didn't say anything, so she could only sit down next to Bo Xinlan.
Lu Caixi is a person who has traveled with His Royal Highness, and he is in the power of being favored, and there is nothing wrong with sitting in this position second only to Bo Xinlan.
The last one to arrive was Liu Meiren, who sat next to Lu Caixi.
Liu Meiren sat next to Feng Yayi, Miss Zhao was next to Liu Meiren, and Miss Min and Miss Qi were next to Liu Meiren. After everyone gave the salute, they sat in a proper manner, and no one had any noisy words, all waiting for Rong Yunxi to speak.
Rong Yunxi's gaze slowly swept over each of them, not shying away at all. And when I looked at this circle, when I looked at everyone, it was quite meaningful.
Miss Min and Miss Qi were a little awkward by Rong Yunxi, one looked at her, and the other lowered her head directly, avoiding her scuscitation. Liu Meiren blinked her curious eyes, looking like "you have something", which was quite funny.
Miss Zhao stared intently at a certain point in the air, calmly accepting Rong Yunxi's scrutiny, and did not feel any discomfort. Liu Meiren is always cold and arrogant, no matter how your eyes fall on me, I will treat it as if I don't see it, I am the queen of my own world, and no one can affect me.
Feng Yayi was also like Miss Zhao, still sitting very decently, without any awkward expression on her face. Lu Caixi pinched the handkerchief and pressed it under her nose, and her eyes were vaguely dissatisfied with her look.
Bo Xinlan smiled at the corner of her mouth and sat upright as usual.
After looking at it this time, Rong Yunxi smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but the sisters are more beautiful." I feel embarrassed to see it, and I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill into! ”
"The concubines are just vulgar and ugly, and they are decorated with fat powder and jewelry, how can they compare with the natural beauty of the mother?" Miss Qi said with a smile.
Rong Yunxi said with a smile: "If you say that the real natural beauty, it must be Liu Meiren." Liu Meiren's bearing is like a heavenly maiden, and we can't compare. ”
Liu Meiren is usually silent, although she is not very gregarious, but she must not offend people. It's best to make a joke about her and warm up the atmosphere.
Everyone used Rong Yunxi to mention the origin of Liu Meiren, and asked some things about Sanhuai, all of them listened to a fresh, in order to join in the fun, no one really cared. All they cared about was Rong Yunxi's intention to call them over this time.
There are rumors in the house that something happened at yesterday's dinner. King Ling was drunk and regarded Chu Xia as a side concubine in his house, and wanted to do that unbearable thing in the grass, but he happened to be caught by the crown princess. King Ling was drunk and had a misunderstanding with a little slave, which was not a big deal.
What's important is that early this morning, Rong Yunxi and Chu Xia found something near Shengping Courtyard, saying that with this thing, they could catch the person who harmed her. With such an association, it can be seen that it was not early summer that had an accident with King Ling last night, but Rong Yunxi, but I don't know what happened, but in the end she became this innocuous little girl.
As soon as he heard about these rumors, Rong Yunxi called them to Zhaode Courtyard, which was clearly a murderer who was arresting people.
Although they all know that they have not done anything harmful, they are also in danger. What if Rong Yunxi finds the wrong evidence? What if Rong Yunxi wants to take advantage of this matter to wronged them?
I couldn't tell in my heart, but Rong Yunxi didn't directly explain her intentions, so they could only laugh like this.
After laughing for a while, Rong Yunxi smiled and said: "Call everyone over today, nothing else, it's just that I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I think the big guys should get together to talk." ”
After finishing slowly, he picked up the teacup and his eyes fell on Bo Xinlan's body.
The concubines present also followed Rong Yunxi and set their eyes on Bo Xinlan.
As if she didn't notice it, Bo Xinlan also picked up the teacup, blew lightly, and took a sip of tea.
Rong Yunxi swallowed a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "Now that Concubine Bo is pregnant, His Royal Highness is very happy, so I hope that there will be more pregnant ladies in our house, so that the people in our house will prosper." Sisters, too, need to work harder. ”
Lu Caixi smiled at the corner of her mouth, glanced at Bo Xinlan, and said with a smile: "The concubines are not blessed by the Queen Mother, how can they have such a good fortune as Sister Bo?" ”
Rong Yunxi didn't say anything. As long as you are not a fool, you can hear the sour taste in Lu Caixi's words. But this is a sour Xinlan, and it has nothing to do with others. Rong Yunxi didn't want to insert it.
"The concubine can envy Sister Bo! On weekdays, I always want to walk around with Sister Bo more and get a touch of my sister's blessings. But I was afraid of disturbing my sister's tranquility, so I didn't dare to go over. I don't know if the snacks sent by my sister last time can meet my sister's appetite? ”
After Lu Caixi soured that sentence, he immediately changed his attitude and said with great sincerity and concern. even carried it, which made her previous sour words turn into envy.
"It was delicious. But in fact, it doesn't matter what the taste of the dim sum is, what matters is my sister's heart. With my sister's thoughts, the dim sum tasted sweeter. Bo Xinlan said with a smile.
It seems that the two of them are in harmony.
Rong Yunxi said with a smile: "If Sister Lu also wants to get pregnant as soon as possible, it is not enough to be contaminated with Concubine Bo's blessings, but also to learn her good habits." When you didn't come just now, I chatted with Concubine Bo, and I heard that she went to bed early, and lay down to sleep last night, not long after dinner. Fell asleep all night, unconscious. This is also a wonderful way to cultivate the body. ”
"By the way, how did everyone spend last night? Tell me about it, and I'll see what your daily life looks like. ”
Lu Caixi heard what Rong Yunxi meant, the corner of her mouth smiled, and she glanced at Bo Xinlan with deep meaning......
