Chapter 13 Orchid, You Like the Main Temple
"Eldest sister......" Mingzhu seemed puzzled, naturally she would not explain the origin of the jade pendant so easily, so she still said with certainty: "This is really my thing, if the eldest sister doesn't believe it, you can ask the peppercorns, how dare I lie to you." ”
Although she and Hao Mingzhen are sisters on the surface, no one in the house knows that her second miss is actually similar to other young ladies, and she was like this in her previous life, and she couldn't speak in front of several masters.
Although Hao Mingzhen affirmed that she was lying, she cared more about the reason than directly confirming that she was lying.
So after Mingzhu affirmed, she smiled coldly, held the jade pendant in her hand, and said: "Since it is your own, then it is easy to say, if I say that I have taken a fancy to this thing, will you give it to me?" ”
Pretending to be confused with her?
Oh, then she'll see how she explains it in front of that person.
"This ......" Mingzhu was embarrassed and looked flustered.
"What, can't you?" Hao Mingzhen saw it in his eyes, but he pretended not to see it, and caressed the jade pendant, looking like he couldn't put it down.
And Mingzhu knows that she really can't put it down.
"It's not that it can't be, it's just this ......"
You still have to pretend to be embarrassed, otherwise it will be too easy to give it to her, and it will arouse suspicion.
"If you can give it, if you can't give it, forget it, why bother spitting and spitting?" Hao Mingzhen took retreat as advance and pretended to be displeased, because she knew that as long as she showed her displeasure, the person in front of her would definitely compromise.
Mingzhu knew her path well, and nodded "unwillingly" as she thought, "Since the eldest sister likes it, then ...... Then give it to the eldest sister. ”
As he spoke, his face was nervous, and the hand in front of him clenched the silk handkerchief.
Hao Mingzhen looked at it all in her eyes, snorted coldly in her heart, and her face did not show the joy of receiving other people's things or even a polite smile, "Then thank you, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." ”
After speaking, Mingzhu was supposed to go first, but now she left with her hands, staying in Mingzhu and "cramped and uneasy" for a while, and then followed the maid of Mingzhenyuan to go out with peppercorns.
On the way, after making sure that it was far away from Ming Zhenyuan and there was no one behind her, Hua Jiao said angrily, "Miss, you look at her like that, just like that thing is hers, there is no politeness at all, you can still bear it, the slaves and maids can't stand it anymore." ”
I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless.
Mingzhu glanced at her and said with a smile: "You dare to say it, aren't you afraid that there are her eyes and ears here?" ”
Sichuan pepper pursed his mouth, "Cut, there is, except for you, Miss, who knows who I'm talking about." ”
Mingzhu was amused by her appearance, shook her head amusedly, and listened to Hua Jiao ask, "But Miss, when did you have that jade pendant?" Why didn't the slave know anything about it? ”
She and Qingjiao have been serving their own young lady since they were children, and they are basically clear about what is in the yard, and when they have seen such jade pendants.
Mingzhu didn't tell anyone after she got the jade pendant, and it was not easy to tell them, and she didn't even tell her the origin of the jade pendant when she asked Qingjiao out to make one, and now she can't say it when she asks.
"It was sent by the county lord when I went back to Gongnan Wangfu," he thought about it and said.
"That's it," Hua Jiao nodded clearly, and then said: "Since it was sent by the county lord, then you gave it to her now, what if the county lord finds out about it one day?" This is a great sin of disrespect. ”
The things of the county lord are also considered to be royal things, and giving royal things to others at will will be punished according to the laws of Daxing.
Mingzhu looked at her with relief and chuckled, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”
Her goal has been achieved, and it is estimated that Hao Mingzhen is struggling in the house at this time.
As she expected, after Hao Mingzhen arrived at the study, she took out the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, her fingers stroked it gently, and even the expression on her face softened a lot, if she was looked at by outsiders, she would probably be surprised, and the eldest lady, who has never been smiling, showed such a gentle expression!
"Hongli, why is your thing in her hands......"
In the quiet room, Hao Mingzhen opened her mouth and murmured, looking at the jade pendant as if she was facing her beloved lover.
That's right, she likes him, she likes to be the prince of the dynasty, Lang Hongli, it started very early, even she forgot that she realized it from time, and when she reacted, she was already moved.
It is only when she thinks of him that her heart will soften, and only in front of him will she be ashamed to speak, and after meeting him, she vows to become a better and better person, to become a person who is enough to match him, so she will work so hard, just to be able to tell him the fact that she likes him in front of him one day.
Of course, there are other reasons for this.
But what's going on now?
Why is Hongli's jade pendant in the hands of Hao Mingzhu's girl?
Could it be that something happened during her absence from home that she didn't know about?
Or is it that the girl who went to Gongnan Wangfu yesterday was fake, but actually went to see him?
Thinking that this would be the case, Hao Mingzhen's heart suddenly tightened, and the hand holding the jade pendant increased a little harder.
"Yun Chu!"
shouted outside, and got a response immediately, Hao Mingzhen pinched the jade pendant in his hand, "You come in." ”
"Yes."
The people outside answered, and the door of the study opened closely, and after the people arrived in front of them, Hao Mingzhen said with a calm face: "You go and investigate the whereabouts of the second lady for me recently, pay attention to who she has been in contact with in the past few days, there must not be the slightest omission, understand?" ”
"The slave understands." Yun Chu didn't say a word, bowed his head and agreed.
After waiting for someone to go out, Hao Mingzhen put the jade pendant in front of him again, and after the tenderness, his face was like cold frost.
Hao Mingzhu, she wants to see what the reason is.
If it's really what she thinks, then don't blame her for being rude!
Mingzhu, who had just returned to his yard, felt a chill behind him, and looked back sharply, but found nothing.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Sichuan pepper followed into the house and felt strange.
Mingzhu shook her head, "It's okay." ”
Maybe it was an illusion, why did she suddenly have a tight feeling in her heart, as if something was going to happen.
"That's right," when she turned around and saw Qingjiao coming from the side, Mingzhu stopped her, "Qingjiao, please go to Gongnan Wangfu, just say that I can't go out for a few days, I'm afraid I can't visit anymore for the time being, by the way, you can help me bring something to the county lord." ”
After saying that, he went straight to the house.
After today, Hao Mingzhen will definitely send someone to check her whereabouts, although there is indeed no stake between her and Gongnan Palace, but since everyone has already explained the relationship between Hao's Mansion and Gongnan Palace, if she goes again, she will not obey the rules.
And now Hao Mingyao and Hao Mingzhen are both guessing, she doesn't want to let people know what the truth of the matter is so early, since she likes to guess, guess for a while, it will make them feel uneasy and uncomfortable, she likes to hear it.
After Qingjiao took the things, he quietly went out of the back door and went to the Gongnan Palace.
After receiving the news from Mingzhu, Lang Chengcheng looked deflated, "I also said that I would go to the General's Mansion in the afternoon to have a look, since Sister Mingzhu has something to do now, then I can't bother, it's so boring." ”
With that, he slumped his shoulders and threw himself on the stone table.
When Lang Hongli and Lang Tianling first arrived at the palace garden, they heard two familiar words, and they couldn't help but be interested, and stepped forward and said, "Allure, when did you get so close to the second lady of Hao Fu?" ”
Hearing his voice, Lang Qingcheng raised his eyes and glanced at him weakly, "It's you." ”
got up and gave them two positions, supported his chin, and said uninterestedly: "Miss Hao Er's embroidery skills are very good, I let her be my master, but just now the maid in her house came over and said that she couldn't come over for the past few days, and I didn't want to bother, so boring......"
"Really?"
Lang Hongli's eyes flashed slightly, as if he had inadvertently muttered for a moment.
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the day of the birthday banquet, and after lunch, Mingzhu came back from the old lady's yard, and the green pepper and pepper began to clean up for her.
Sitting in front of the dresser, Mingzhu recalls this day in her previous life.
The crown prince and the princess of Anguo came, and in addition to the minister's wife and daughter, if there were valued concubines in the house, they could also go to the banquet, so Hao Mingyao would have the opportunity to follow Hao Mingzhen on the day of his previous life.
It's just that the news was released early in her previous life, and she didn't know that the queen intended to take a concubine for that person because she hadn't gone out, and now that she thinks about it, Hao Mingzhen will want to get rid of her for that reason, and it is also important to focus on the word "Yan".
Because obviously, how could the crown prince and concubine have the opportunity to be a concubine, and for her Hao Mingzhen, even if she was just a flat wife and daughter, according to her character, she would not allow the slightest chance to be blocked.
Thinking of this, Mingzhu couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she looked at herself in the mirror who was beaten into another look.
is a good Miss Hao who would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, if it weren't for the fact that in her previous life, after that incident, she learned about Hao Mingzhen's anger at that incident by chance, she didn't know that she also had different thoughts about that person.
And what shocked her at the time was that by mistake, Hao Mingzhen watched the person enter the house where she was placed, and what happened later can be imagined, which makes sense why Hao Mingzhen targeted her everywhere later.
Thinking of this, a touch of coldness crossed Mingzhu's eyes, which was fleeting.
"Miss, what do you think of this?"
Green Pepper held a pair of plum petal earrings and handed them to her.
Mingzhu put away his mind and looked at it twice, "I don't like it, use that orchid." ”
His eyes pointed to the small box on the table, two small and delicate orchid petals, exquisite workmanship, simple and generous.
The green pepper put the plum blossoms, picked up the orchid earrings and put them on for his own lady, and couldn't help laughing: "Miss really likes orchids, and I can't plant them in the yard." ”
The magnolia flowers swayed slightly in her ears, and Mingzhu was in a happy mood.
"Orchid is the king of incense, fragrant in the breeze, clean and pure, naturally people like it."
Hao Mingzhen probably thinks the same way.
"What do you mean, do you like the main hall?"
