Chapter 185: Go straight to find it
Rong Yunxi glanced at King Chen, and his eyes were full of admiration.
If Qingluo's stepmother remarries elsewhere, then Qingluo's family background is impossible to consider, and there is actually no need to cover it up. Why say you don't know? said that he didn't know, obviously he wanted to cover up Qingluo's family background, and covering it up proved that there was something unspeakable.
Or, even if Qingluo's stepmother really remarried, Qingluo still has some other relatives here, and they can also be found, so Aunt Hong still has to cover it up and prevent them from finding it.
If it weren't for these two, Aunt Hong's previous cover-up would be meaningless.
"Say it." King Chen nodded the silver tickets on the table, "Does Aunt Hong want to use these silver tickets to buy clothes and jewelry, or do you want to use them to buy coffins?" But it's all up to you next. ”
"Hey, the slave family is going to say...... Didn't the slave family want to hide it from His Highness, didn't it have been mentioned here yet? After calming down, Aunt Hong's smile was still very normal.
"Miss Qingluo also has a younger sister who works as a slave maid in the royal family's house in the south of the city. Because she was young at the time, and she didn't look as good-looking as Qingluo girl, she couldn't be a girl. Her stepmother was anxious to bring money to remarry, and sold her sister to me at a cheap price, so that I could be a maid. I looked at the pity, so I stayed for two years. ”
"Later, it was really useless, Qingluo, and I didn't want her sister to be in the Fengyue place, so I happened to get along better with Wang Yuanwai, so I asked Wang Yuanwai to take it home and be a maid. Her stepmother really remarried, and I can't say where she got married. I just heard that marrying into Huaiyang to make someone smaller. Hey, who knows. ”
King Chen nodded and pushed the silver ticket to Aunt Hong: "What's her sister's name?" What's the last name? ”
"Their family name is Wu, and their name is ...... It's called Xiuyu, right? Anyway, Miss Qingluo's real name is Xiu'e. Hey, Te Rustic! If she uses this name, no matter how good she dances and dances, no matter how good her figure is, she will not be able to survive for a lifetime in our elegant place! ”
"Aunt Hong, you take the money, remember, don't tell anyone, we are here to find out the details of Miss Qingluo. If someone asks, they just say that we are here to ** incense, you know? ”
"Yes, rest assured, Your Highness, the slave family will never dare to talk nonsense."
"Well, go and call Haruka. How much silver? ”
Aunt Hong hurriedly accepted the one hundred taels, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Chunxiang is the first-class maid in our beauty's house, but since His Royal Highness wants to buy it, the slave family does not dare to ask for more." Just give me the capital when I bought it, ten taels of silver. ”
When Rong Yunxi heard this, this was the lion's big mouth. The inferior girl in this beautiful woman's house is estimated to be only ten taels of silver. It's just a little girl who serves the girls, and she needs so much silver?
But King Chen was rich and very happy, and directly gave ten taels of silver. Domineering: "Go and call someone." ”
"The slave family is going now!" Aunt Hong took the money and went happily.
When I went out of the room, I wiped a cold sweat and felt that my back was soaked.
It's scary!
Not long after, Aunt Hong called Chunxiang over.
The little girl was wearing an emerald green dress, thirteen or fourteen years old, and she looked very delicate. When I heard that I was going to King Chen's Mansion to continue serving Qingluo, I couldn't hide my joy.
His eyes were swollen like two big peaches, but he smiled happily. He saluted briskly, "The slave and maid pay a visit to Your Highness." ”
King Chen glanced at her up and down, and said with a smile: "She is also a beauty!" ”
Chunxiang lowered her head, not daring to look at King Chen.
"Let's go, go back with this king and live a good life!" King Chen got up and went out and pinched her tender little face.
Haruka was even more embarrassed and frightened, and lowered her head even more.
Out of the beautiful residence, Chunxiang was sent back to Qingluo's courtyard first. Qingluo saw Chunxiang and was grateful to King Chen and Rong Yunxi. But he just said a few good words to Rong Yunxi, but he didn't say anything to King Chen, as if he didn't mean to take this opportunity to get closer to King Chen.
Rong Yunxi only thought that Qingluo was unwilling to follow King Chen, so she didn't take it to heart. But when he got out of the courtyard, King Chen shook his head and said, "It's strange, it's very strange......
"People don't want to see you, is it weird? Why are you so confident?"
"Always walk in the flowers, you must have the confidence you should have."
"Huh? Concubine Ai......" King Chen grabbed her, "Why are you suddenly stupid?" We can't go back now, and go with this king to another place. ”
"Let's go." Rong Yunxi didn't ask King Chen where he was going. King Chen is going to be the king of Chengnan's house, right?
But King Chen took her to the front yard, the prince's courtyard.
King Chen said a few words in Rong Yunxi's ear, and went into the prince's main house by himself.
Rong Yunxi got the errand assigned by King Chen and went to Qin Yingyue's room in the east wing.
"Your Highnesses want to talk about the improvement of the river, I can't interject, it's better to go to Madame to chat for a while, it's more comfortable."
Qin Yingyue didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Rong Yunxi's gourd, so out of courtesy, she naturally had to entertain her. smiled: "Yesterday fell into the water, thanks to the rescue of the mother." The concubine's body is not water-based, if there is no mother to save her, I am afraid that this life is gone! ”
"Madame, don't take it to heart, just raise your hands."
Rong Yunxi sat down, not polite, and picked up the teapot to pour the tea.
"Yo, it's not hot...... Rong Yunxi smiled, "Actually, in the summer, you should drink some hot tea." If you get rid of the dampness and sweat, your body will be much more comfortable. ”
Qin Yingyue heard this, and called the maid and said, "Little peach...... You go to the kitchenette to boil some hot water and make a pot of hot tea. ”
Xiao Tao stood at the door of the west wing and answered "yes" and went to the small kitchen.
After a few more idle words, Rong Yunxi suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "I brought dried roses in early summer, I'll fetch them, let's make flower tea to drink, it's even more to relieve the heat." ”
So saying, he got up and went to fetch it himself.
"How dare you let the mother bother herself? Let the girl at the bottom go. Qin Yingyue said
"It's fine." At this time, Rong Yunxi happened to be standing at the door of the room, so he shouted directly to the west wing: "Little girl, you come out for a ......"
"What do you command, Madame?" From Xiao Tao's house, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl came out.
"You go to the courtyard of the concubine, look for the early summer in the east wing, and ask her for the roses we want to bring from the palace."
"Yes...... Dare to ask Niangniang, how can Niangniang's yard go? "The little girl is very well-behaved.
Rong Yunxi smiled: "The backyard is it, you can see it when you go around." ”
I couldn't help but admire King Chen's knowledge of things like a god. Sure enough, Qin Yingyue here, there is a new face that she has never seen before. Although it was a distance away and it was night, I couldn't see the little girl's face clearly. But come to think of it, it should be Xiuyu.
Rong Yunxi didn't ask Qin Yingyue about this little girl at all. Because what this little girl just said to her could already prove her identity. If it was the maid that Qin Yingyue brought from the prince's mansion, or the maid in Lord Qu's mansion, how could he not know which courtyard King Chen was in?
And this little girl didn't know her at first, she asked her "what does Madame command", and then when she called herself "this concubine", she knew that she was the princess.
In this way, the identity of this little girl can be completely determined.
Rong Yunxi continued to talk and laugh with Qin Yingyue as usual, but Qin Yingyue muttered in her heart. is still talking and laughing with Rong Yunxi, but he is carefully thinking about Rong Yunxi's intention in his heart. After thinking about it for a while, I knew that Rong Yunxi came here just for Xiuyu. It's to make sure if Xiuyu is here with her.
This morning, the prince suddenly asked someone to send such a little girl to her, only to let her take care of her, at first she didn't know what the prince meant. But after today's noon incident, I understood what the prince meant. The prince sent Xiuyu to her in order to contain Qingluo.
Looking closely, Xiuyu's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Qingluo. It's just that her body is not good-looking, with wide hips, thick legs, and a thin upper body, so that she doesn't have the richness of her sister.
But Xiuyu didn't know who she was intimidated or what it was, when she asked her for details, she only said that she was working in the Wang's house, and Lord Qu saw that she was clever with her hands and feet, and bought her because the maids in the house were not enough. Someone must have taught her to say this.
She is Qingluo's younger sister, and the prince wants to use her to contain Qingluo, but he can't let King Chen know that there is such a restraint. But where is King Chen so easy to fool? Isn't this going to be checked?
And she was sure that King Chen must have checked other places before coming over, and found out the details of this Qingluo girl.
In fact, she has long known that Brother Chen is smarter and more strategic than the prince. It's just a pity, Brother Chen is not the crown prince, and the distance from the throne is one step away. As long as the crown prince takes another step, he will be the emperor, and as long as he is not stupid, the possibility of ascending to the throne is still very high. But if King Chen wants to ascend to the throne, he has to take two or three steps, and he must be extremely clever and not make any mistakes.
Therefore, it is still too dangerous to bet on King Chen. But you must not give up on him completely, you must hang with your heart.
Xiuyu took the tea, but Rong Yunxi still didn't show the slightest concern for her, just treated her as an ordinary little maid.
chatted with Qin Yingyue for half an hour, naturally no one could say anything about sensitive topics related to King Chen, what he said was nothing more than some words about women's makeup and maintenance. King Chen greeted Rong Yunxi at the door of the main house, and Rong Yunxi was finally able to end the ordeal.
Out of the prince's courtyard, Rong Yunxi gave a nodding affirmative response to the searching eyes cast by King Chen.
"Hehe......" King Chen curled the corners of his mouth and smiled a little contemptuously.
