The palace people probably didn't expect Wen Yi to ask this so quickly, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I went to see the crown princess." His Highness is waiting for Liu Gongren in the small garden in front of him. ”

Wen Yi didn't believe it: "When His Royal Highness left the side hall, he clearly said that he was going to the main hall to receive a pulse diagnosis from the imperial doctor, and it was only a moment of effort, how could he go to the garden?" ”

The palace man was stunned, and said with a smile: "This slave doesn't know, the slave just obeys the order, please don't embarrass me for Liu Gongren." ”

Wen Yi narrowed her eyes and looked ahead again. This is the back of the side hall of the East Palace, along the path forward, you can see the Moon Gate not far away, there are a few bushes of flowers and trees in it, presumably it is the entrance to the garden. This is even more strange, if the crown princess really went to the garden, how could there be no attendants waiting at the entrance of the garden? Just now she met the crown princess in the side hall, although she was once alone with the princess and Xiaobari, but there were many palace people standing outside the door, and they could be called in at any time. Not to mention that the crown princess is now in a pot-bellied, and when she goes to a place like the garden, she doesn't bring a few more people, even if she is willing, others will not allow it.

Wen Yi looked at the palace man who led the way again. She didn't recognize the other party, but looking at the dress, she knew that she must have some dignity in the East Palace, and when the other party asked her to leave the side hall, the palace people standing outside the palace gate did not show any abnormality, but bowed slightly all the way, which shows that this palace person is indeed under the jurisdiction of the East Palace. The maid of the East Palace, what reason would it be against her?

Wen Yi hesitated, and did not move his steps. She hesitated.

On the one hand, she was afraid that if she continued to move forward, she would really fall into the trap set by someone, which would not only be of no benefit to Liu Dongxing, but also might affect the crown princess; But on the other hand, she was worried that if this palace man really followed the order of the crown princess to lead the way, she would appear disrespectful to the crown princess if she did not arrive for a long time. For a while, she was so confused that she really didn't know what to do.

Wen Yi was hesitating, but the palace people were anxious, looking back and forth a few times, and saw from a distance that a few inner eunuchs had turned from the corridor on the right side of the main hall, and they might see the situation here. She was worried about the loss of her appearance, and when she caught a glimpse of Wen Yi frowning and in a daze, she remembered the nobleman's instructions, and her heart was crossed, and she took a step closer and lowered her voice: "Why is Gongren holding back here?" Someone is waiting for you. ”

Wen Yi's heart froze, squinting and glancing at the palace people. If the crown princess is called, why does the other party say "someone"? Wouldn't that be too disrespectful? So she asked coldly: "I don't know who is waiting for me to wait in a hurry, isn't it the crown princess?" ”

The palace man pursed his lips and smiled, blinking: "Although she is not the crown princess, she is also a nobleman." Do you really not understand in your heart? That one, but the heart and mind are all about you, go with the slave and maid, there is great wealth waiting for you ahead" The jealousy flashed in his eyes, but he maintained a smile on his face.

Wen Yi was furious. She remembered the situation when she entered the palace last time, didn't someone come to "meet by chance" with her halfway and take a step to talk? That person almost killed her husband before, but fortunately, Liu Dongxing fought for his anger, not only saved himself, but also earned a good future, seeing that the couple was about to get out, what was he going to do? In his previous life, he killed himself, and in this life, is he going to ruin her reputation? Thinking of that person in the palace three times and twice bribing the palace people to spread the word and guide the way, I don't know how much gossip she has arranged, which is really bearable, which is unbearable

She immediately lowered her face: "I don't understand this, you are an attendant of the East Palace, how dare you act in the name of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess?" "As soon as he flicked his sleeves, he was going back.

Seeing this, the palace people were surprised, and they were also a little panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her way and smiled: "Liu Gongren, you misunderstood, slave maid...... The slave is just doing what she is told, and the slave is ......"

"Get out of the way" Wen Yi didn't listen to her explanation, and she didn't have a good face, "Do you still know how to call me a compliment?" Since you know that I am the edict of the imperial court, how dare you tease me like this? Why don't you get out of the way? Although she is not as good as Li Chunxi's daughter of Jiangmen, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, but she is not a weak woman who is delicate and delicate. Her path was no longer in the way, and she immediately strode forward.

The palace people couldn't stop her, and saw that the inner eunuch in the distance had heard the movement here, and when she looked at it, she was flustered in her heart, while secretly scolding the person for not saying it clearly, and on the other hand, she quietly complained that Wen Yi was too big, and she dared to be so rude to the East Palace attendants in the East Palace, but at the same time, she was afraid that she would really alarm the crown princess, and she couldn't get better, so she had to catch up with Wen Yi in a panic and pulled her sleeve, and quickly lowered her voice and said: "Liu Gongren, it is really a noble person, are you not afraid of offending the nobleman?" ”

Wen Yi sneered and pulled back his sleeve: "Noble? Where is the nobleman? The nobleman is in the Taihe Palace, the nobleman is in the Cining Palace, the nobleman is in the Jiaotai Palace, the nobleman is in the main hall of the East Palace, I don't know which nobleman it is? ”

The palace people were speechless. Among the palaces, it is true that the owners of these four palaces are the most noble, and everyone else has to be discounted. However, the noble man she was talking about was also quite favored by the four unspeakably noble nobles

Without waiting for her to speak again, Wen Yi walked forward again, and the palace people could only stop her with a sad face: "If Gongren is unwilling to go, the slave and maid don't dare to force it, but if you shout like this, it will not only hinder your reputation, but also offend the nobles, why are you bothered?" It's better to go back quietly, just think it's the slave who passed the wrong word, right? ”

Wen Yi stared at her and sneered: "It turns out that I still have a reputation in this palace?" It's better to make a fuss, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to also comment, maybe I can save a few reputations" After saying that, he sped up his speed, and in a blink of an eye, he had returned to the corridor of the side hall.

Xiao Bai was standing outside the door of the side hall, staring at the palace guards seriously and questioning Wen Yi's whereabouts, when he heard the footsteps, he looked up, but he was relieved and complained: "Where did Gongren go?" It's really a slave and maid who is in a hurry."

When Wen Yi saw her, she was also relieved, and immediately complained to her: "A palace lady just came, saying that Her Royal Highness the crown princess had invited me to the gate of the garden. Little barberry girl, please help me ask, I don't know which noble person summoned me, could it be that I misunderstood? ”

Xiao Bai's expression was solemn, and he quickly glanced at the attendant next to him: "Who invited Liu Gongren away?" ”

The attendant hurriedly said, "It's Miss Xia." ”

Xiao Bai raised his eyebrows, and his eyes quickly shot behind Wen Yi, only to see the "Xia girl" shaking her face around the corner, and when she saw her looking over, she was shocked and shrank her head. Xiao Bai sneered: "Invite Miss Xia over" softened her expression again, and said to Wen Yi: "Gong people are frightened, please sit in the room." ”

Wen Yi entered the side hall, sat down in the same place, and heard the attendant report from Fang Cai: "Miss Xia is gone, some people say that she went to the garden." ”

"Then go to the garden to find her, no matter what, we must find her back as soon as possible" Xiao Bai gave an order, and turned around to apologize to Wen Yi, "It's all our negligence, but it's frightening." ”

Wen Yi shook his head and said with a straight face: "It's okay to do this, at least let His Highness see which people in the East Palace have problems, and take advantage of the fact that it's not too late to send them away, so as not to cause trouble in the future." ”

Xiao Bai nodded understandingly: "Liu Gongren is thoughtful, and His Royal Highness actually knows in his heart that there are many people in this East Palace who have different intentions, but now the crown prince has just taken over government affairs, and if he cleans it up rashly, he is afraid that people's hearts will be unstable, so he will not cause it to happen for the time being." But this Xia Weixin was given by the queen's mother, and she never made a mistake, so she didn't expect to do such a thing. After a pause, "If Gongren doesn't want to make a big deal, just hand it over to the slave maid, and it will save Gongren's reputation." ”

As soon as Wen Yi heard that the palace person surnamed Xia was given by the queen, she was even more sure in her heart, and the one who wanted to lead her to meet was Zhu Jingshen, the son of the former King Kang, otherwise, with his son of a clan who had already left the palace to build a mansion, he was neither a prince, nor a prince, nor had power, where could he support the decent palace people in the East Palace at will? There are only people under the queen, because Zhu Jingshen was raised in the queen's palace, and they have a little affection for him.

She didn't think about hiding this matter again: "No need, the girl just disposed of her openly, and my reputation in the palace doesn't know how bad it is, if you have to hide it again, maybe more people will misunderstand me, and I'm not afraid of offending King Kang's Mansion, I can't wait to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know about it."

Xiao Bai's eyes flashed, and he smiled meaningfully: "The slave understands, don't worry." ”

Wen Yi handed over everything to Xiao Bai in this way. She had enough confidence in the princess's cronies. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the prince and his wife to get the letter, and the two supported each other and came from the main hall. There was no strange color on the prince's face, but the expression of the crown princess Du was a little unpleasant. Wen Yi is her guest, and it is a slap in the face to encounter this kind of thing on her territory.

Then, Xia Weixin, a person from the palace, was also escorted over by the attendants, and unexpectedly as expected, Zhu Jingshen also followed behind and arrived at the side hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Wen Yi first, but what he got was Wen Yi's indifferent and hateful gaze, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and his face showed a little loneliness.

Wen Yi didn't have the slightest soft-heartedness, and the resentment in her eyes deepened a little: What does this ruthless young man want to do? Who are you trying to deceive by putting on such a look?

This emotion was so obvious that even the prince and his wife could see it clearly. The crown princess glanced at the prince, the prince coughed lightly, and asked Zhu Jingshen with a smile: "Why is Brother Shen still here?" I'll just think you're gone. ”

Zhu Jingshen didn't answer for a while, and glanced at Wen Yi again. Wen Yi turned her head away in disgust.

Zhu Jingshen's face turned pale, he flattened his mouth aggrievedly, gritted his teeth, knelt in front of the prince, bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, the younger brother doesn't mean anything else, it's just ...... It's just that I heard that General Liu was going to be sent to Kangnan, and I wanted to ask the general to help take care of the old man, but because of some small misunderstanding between him and General Liu earlier, I couldn't pull my face, thinking that I had met Liu Gongren a few times before, so I planned to ask Liu Gongren for a small favor. Wei Xin is just acting on the orders of her younger brother. ”

The prince smiled: "Brother Shen, you're here again, didn't I tell you?" The matter of Cannes has nothing to do with you, which old man do you want General Liu to help you take care of? ”

Zhu Jing took a deep breath: "King Kang's Mansion is already a thing of the past, but there are many old people in the palace who were dismissed a few years ago, they were born and raised in Kangcheng, and after leaving the palace, they naturally settled in Kangcheng. As the old master, although I can't shelter them, it's not difficult to ask for some help. This has nothing to do with Cannes as a place, but it is just a kindness to the old servant as the old master. ”

"I see." The crown prince stroked his palms and smiled, but turned to Wen Yi, "What do Liu Gongren think?" It's rare that the deep brother is so thoughtful at a young age, it's really rare, compared with the previous personality who only loves to mess around, but he has grown a lot. ”

Wen Yipi said with a smile: "Your Highness Mingjian, the concubine doesn't understand the meaning of the general's words. The husband of the concubine is the general of Kangnan, and it is his duty to protect the local people. As long as they are good citizens who keep to themselves, they don't need to be instructed by the general, and the husbands of the concubines will also take care of them; If it is a diao people with bad intentions, even if the general instructs it, the husband of the concubine cannot cover it. This claim is really nonsense. ”

Zhu Jingshen's face became more and more ugly, and he looked at Wen Yi in disbelief, as if he couldn't accept that she was ruthless to this point. The smile on the prince's face deepened, and he stared at Wen Yi a few more times, and there was a faint look of satisfaction in his eyes: "Don't be surprised by Liu Gongren, Brother Shen is still a child, he has never been able to speak, don't blame him." ”

The matter seems to have been settled in this way, as for the people in the summer palace, it is the crown princess who is in charge and sent back to the middle palace. Since it is given by the queen, it is not good for them to be the younger generation, but it is impossible to let it go lightly. Acting as an order, this is an offense to the crown princess, how can it be connived? As for what kind of punishment she will receive after returning to the Middle Palace, it is not what the crown princess cares about.

Zhu Jingshen watched the people in the summer palace crying and being escorted down, and his face turned a little paler. How could he not know that it was not easy for the queen to install a palace person of such a position in this east palace? Now because of him, he has broken a person's hand for nothing, but I am afraid that when I see him in the future, I will not have a good face.

He turned his head to look at Wen Yi, and suddenly felt a little resentment in his heart. He is obviously sincere, why is she hostile to him everywhere? Today's incident, if she hadn't made a big fuss and invited the prince and his wife to come forward, the situation would definitely not be so bad

Wen Yi didn't have time to pay attention to his thoughts, the matter has been dealt with properly, and the people in the palace who should know will also know that she has absolutely no personal relationship with the former Prince Kang and will enter the palace in the future, presumably no one will dare to lead her to a secluded place in the name of anyone, the palace maids given by the queen have no good fruits to eat, who has more face than whom?

The most important thing is that after this incident, the prince should be able to be sure that it is absolutely impossible for Liu Dongxing to have anything to do with her and King Kang's mansion, right?

The crown princess Du Yuanru rewarded a lot of things, said a lot of comforting words, and whispered to her: "I know that you have the heart to pull out this nail for me, thank you, I know it in my heart." ”

Wen Yi opened her mouth, lowered her head and smiled: "You must take care of your body, I am waiting for your good news." ”

Du Yuanru nodded with a smile, and ordered Xiao Bai to send Wen Yi out of the palace, be sure to send it to the palace gate, and watch Wen Yi get in the car and leave before he can turn around.

Xiao Bai received the order, just because there were other palace people accompanying her, Wen Yi didn't dare to say it too clearly, so she could only lower her voice and whisper to her: "I heard that the prince is interested in promoting newcomers in the army recently, but because the situation in northern Xinjiang has changed?" If you want to come to the Guogong Mansion, there are also many generals who can lead the troops? Please also take care of the crown princess. ”

Although these words were brainless, Xiao Bai understood it, and couldn't help but look solemn, looked at Wen Yi, and nodded knowingly. Wen Yi's heart was relieved, and she only hoped that the crown princess could have a way to reverse the prince's mind.
