Chapter 296: Secrets of the Palace
The antique pattern, through the rows of bluestone steps, you can see the red plum floating on the red wall, blooming in the wind.
Meng Shi was really familiar with the way, and led a group of three people to the inner hall without taking the wrong road.
The Chu family is not as 'strict' as the Liu family here, and there is no one else in front of the palace except for the guarding family, however, the family Ding saw that it was Mrs. Liu, and hurriedly stepped forward and smiled, "The slave has seen Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Yun, and Mrs. Meng." Looking at Xue Hainiang again, at first glance, she saw the gorgeous beauty in her luxurious outfit, but she didn't know which big man in the palace had such a face. I can only guess that the VIPs outside the house will come up.
"I don't know what this noble man is called?" the family bent his waist and looked flattering.
Xue Hainiang's eyes flashed slightly, but she was still smiling in the next second, "This concubine is the new side concubine who entered the mansion yesterday, and this little brother doesn't know that this concubine is also human nature." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the family heard this, the whole person was stunned, and only then did he kneel heavily on the ground, "The slave knocked on the side concubine Niangniang, but he didn't recognize the side concubine Niangniang, and asked the side concubine Niangniang to forgive the sin." ”
Xue Hainiang waved her hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite, but Dai Mei frowned slightly invisibly.
In this house, up to Mrs. Liu, naturally except for Mrs. Liu, down to the next person, naturally, Mrs. Liu's carefully cultivated henchmen are also excepted, so they are all respectful and commendable to her, and they dare not have the slightest transgression.
Just look at the appearance of this family in front of you......
Could it be that during the period when she didn't enter the mansion, something happened in the mansion that she didn't know?
Xue Hainiang pondered in her heart, but she never succeeded. It would be too ridiculous to want to know about this from Mrs. Liu's mouth, and with the appearance of Mrs. Liu's inconvenience to her, she must have wanted to keep her in the dark in everything, how could she tell her.
Before Xue Hainiang could get out of this ring, Mrs. Liu was already in the posture of a serious master, and said with a smile to the family: "Mrs. Ben has a side concubine and Mrs. Yun. Mrs. Meng came to see Mrs. Chu together. She paused, and then said very understandingly: "I heard that Mrs. Chu is not feeling well, and several of my sisters came here to visit, and they also brought a female doctor invited from outside the house. ”
Her face seemed to show a little sigh and puzzlement, "There are many women in our house, and the women in the back house are not as good as the people in the house, but the male doctor can diagnose it, we are all the wives who serve the prince, and the cold and pain are no problem, but some women suffer from diseases that the male doctor can't see. ”
Xue Hainiang frowned lightly, and Mrs. Liu's intentional overstepping appearance was really visible to anyone with a discerning eye.
Looking at the accustomed appearance of the Yun family and the Meng family, Xue Hainiang could know that Mrs. Ping Suliu must be used to such a posture.
Speaking of this, the family had already turned sideways, and personally opened the door for Xue Hainiang and the four of them.
Mrs. Liu is still at the forefront.
Inner Sanctum,
The well-decorated boudoir is full of budding red plums, which replace the spices that should be there, but they are fresh and natural, and have a unique flavor.
As soon as the maid beside Mrs. Chu saw someone coming, she hurriedly stepped forward, and said after owing a debt: "I don't know if you ladies are driving, the slave maid has seen your ladies." After saluting, he smiled at Mrs. Liu and said, "Mrs. Liu is here to visit our wife?"
Mrs. Liu bowed her head lightly and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't know how Mrs. Chu is doing these days?"
Seeing Mrs. Liu greeting the maid, Xue Hainiang never came forward to show her identity.
Instead, he quietly observed everything in this pavilion. Now it seems that this Qinghui Wangfu is really rich, just looking at the courtyard of the ordinary lady, it is so luxurious and beautiful, not to mention the head of the family, the pavilion of the Qinghui King.
The maid's face seemed to be slightly different, but she still reacted very quickly and disappeared in an instant.
A small path was opened to the side of a group of four, and the bead curtain was lifted with great dedication.
At the moment when the bead curtain was lifted, the person with a half-hidden face behind the bead curtain laughed leisurely, and the delicate and sweet voice was like a newborn warbler bird, and the eyes that looked forward to the bright light seemed to be faintly quenched with moonlight.
She supported her weak and boneless body, if it weren't for the crimson cheeks and Zhu Dan in her mouth, she really looked like a terminally ill sick beauty.
"I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but I actually asked Mrs. Liu to come to visit the concubine...... "Mrs. Chu's beautiful eyes smiled, her eyes moved to the right to Xue Hainiang, and she looked up and down for a while, "Presumably this is the new side concubine Niangniang who entered the house yesterday." ”
She paused, and smiled with a pu fan half-covering her lips, "I heard that the side concubine Niangniang was born in everyone, although she entered the palace as a maid, she won the emperor's appreciation with her ice and snow intelligence, and now she has the glory of marriage......"
She said ambiguously, praising her for her background and ice and snow intelligence, but also mentioning that she had entered the palace as a maid.
Xue Hainiang didn't seem to hear the implicit derogation in her words, and smiled, "Everyone doesn't dare to be a background, as for the emperor's appreciation...... It is also an exaggeration of rumors, if it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness King Qinghui asked the Queen Mother for a decree that day, I am afraid that the concubine would not have the opportunity to meet the sisters today. ”
Mrs. Chu seemed to be smiling, her phoenix eyes blinked lightly, and it seemed to be cold in an instant, but it turned into nothing in the next moment, "The prince really treats the side concubine as a treasure, if it weren't for the fact that the prince has been busy with trivial matters recently, I am afraid that the side concubine Niangniang would not need to be alone in the empty boudoir yesterday." ”
When she said that she was alone in the empty boudoir, she seemed to grit her teeth intentionally or unintentionally.
Xue Hainiang smiled lightly at her words, "His Royal Highness has the emperor's support, and it is common for him to be busy, and this concubine can understand one or two." Since she has received the emperor's will to enter the palace to serve His Royal Highness, the concubine will never complain secretly. ”
Mrs. Chu's eyes widened, her beautiful eyes flashed a hint of gloom, she bit her lower lip lightly, and waited for her emotions to ease down a little before she said, "Today, the concubine is unwell, please forgive the concubine for not being able to salute the side concubine." I don't mind if I think the side concubine is here. ”
Xue Hainiang was slightly confused by Mrs. Chu's inexplicable hostility. It stands to reason that this Qinghui Wangfu is dominated by Mrs. Liu, if it is common sense, Mrs. Chu should try her to cling to her like the Yun family and the Meng family, and find someone to rely on in the future. Or sit alone and watch Madame Liu fight or make peace with her, but she should never be completely offended by her words, as she is now showing.
The dark gray pupils flickered slightly, as if a dark color swept through.
Mrs. Liu smiled first, stepped forward to act familiar, and put her palm on Mrs. Chu's slightly rounded shoulder, but her mouth said the opposite.
