Chapter 60: Suspicious
Zhang Mengjie said: "If the Laoshan Taoist priest still has time, the palace wants to invite the Laoshan Taoist priest to the Luanfeng Hall of the palace to see if there are any demons at work." ”
Laoshan Taoist priest said: "The queen is refreshed, and her blood is vigorous, presumably there is no demon to haunt the queen, the queen is really not at ease, and the poor road still has a little time, so it doesn't hurt to help the queen mother go and see." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Then Laoshan Taoist priest, please!" ”
When she arrived at the Luanfeng Palace, Zhang Mengjie said to the Laoshan Taoist priest who was a little at a loss: "The face of the Laoshan Taoist priest is not good, is there also a demon in the Luanfeng Palace?" ”
Zhang Mengjie was serious, and the Laoshan Taoist priest couldn't figure out what she wanted to do, so he could only pretend to look around.
"The queen's status is noble, and she is blessed by the gods, so the queen can rest assured." The Laoshan Taoist priest casually took a turn in the Luanfeng Hall and said.
Zhang Mengjie said: "That's good, the demon of the palace to see Qi Xiuyuan is not simple to hurt the Laoshan Taoist, the palace has the best wound medicine, and the Laoshan Taoist priest will accept it if he doesn't dislike it." ”
The Laoshan Taoist priest looked at the things in the tray and questioned, "Niangniang, this is?" ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "This is what you deserve, but this palace wants to make a suggestion to the Taoist priest of Laoshan Mountain, not all demons can be easily subdued, if you encounter a difficult demon and the injury is small, it is not worth losing your life." Laoshan Taoist priests may wish to do something other meaningful. ”
"Thank you to the queen mother, the queen mother's words will be remembered." After receiving all the things in the tray, the silver, his small wooden jar, and the wound medicine, the Taoist priest of Laoshan said, "Poor Dao has taken his leave!" ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Okay, this palace will not send Laoshan Taoist priests." ”
After the exorcism, no strange things happened in Qi Xiuyuan, and Li Yuqi's spirit also improved day by day, pulling Zhuang Xinyan to come to Luanfeng Hall from time to time to learn to cook.
The weather was still so good, except for the occasional drizzle.
On this day, Qian San came to Zhang Mengjie with mixed joys. Happily, Qian Haoning, whose condition was under control and became cheerful, said a family affair for him at home, and the other party was still the daughter of a foreign family.
The conditions of the woman's family are good, but Qian San and the others have already saved 10,000 taels for Qian Haoning's illness before, and this 10,000 taels is also a lot of money for ordinary people. Zhang Mengjie is worried about whether the daughter is really willing to marry. Seeing Qian San's good mood, Zhang Mengjie was embarrassed to pour cold water at this time.
The good thing is that the weather is too good, the temperature is also a little abnormal, and the pickles in the shopping division are a little tasteless.
Zhang Mengjie asked Qian San to scoop up all the pickles, wash them, cut them finely and dry them.
When the pickles turned into dried plum vegetables, Qian San brought Qian Haoning's happy fruit and told them that Haoning's daughter-in-law was very good to Haoning, and she was also very filial to their father.
Zhang Mengjie blamed herself for thinking too much before, and she was glad that she didn't bother them by saying her doubts.
But after a while, the day suddenly changed, and it rained every day, and it was heavy rain.
Li Yuqi in the small kitchen said to Zhang Mengjie: "Queen, can this meal really relieve stress?" ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Concubine Li, you have asked this question five times. ”
Li Yuqi said: "Really? Is it okay for the concubine to do it? ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Concubine Li's meal is already better than that of the palace, Concubine Li doesn't have to worry about what the emperor doesn't like." ”
Li Yuqi's face suddenly turned red, and his speech was a little uncomfortable: "The concubine is just worried about the emperor." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "The palace and Concubine Zhuang know that Concubine Li cares about the emperor, and if Concubine Li doesn't serve it to the emperor, the taste of this soup will change when it is cold." ”
Li Yuqi said to Zhuang Xinyan: "Can Sister Concubine Zhuang accompany me?" ”
Zhuang Xinyan said: "Of course you can." ”
"Concubine Zhuang, isn't it okay to take these things to Qianqing Palace?" Sun Dehai pointed to the sleeve leather in the tight small basket on the countertop.
Since tasting osmanthus tea, Zhuang Xinyan has been interested in the tea ceremony, and often comes to Luanfeng Hall with Li Yuqi, one to learn to cook, and the other to ask about the tea ceremony.
Today, the three of them ate a grapefruit in Luanfeng Palace, and when they heard Zhang Mengjie say that this grapefruit peel can be eaten after pickling, Zhuang Xinyan asked about the pickling method, and asked for this grapefruit peel to try it.
Zhuang Xinyan said: "If you take the grapefruit peel back to Zhuxuan, you don't have to follow it to the Qianqing Palace." ”
Only then did Li Yuqi pick up the tray and say to Zhang Mengjie: "The concubine is gone." ”
After the two walked away, Zhang Mengjie said to Sun Dehai: "You have something to say to me, right?" ”
Sun Dehai said: "Yes, I always feel that Concubine Zhuang is hostile to Concubine Li, and she is not as sisterly as she seems on the surface." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "You think so too. ”
Sun Dehai said: "Niangniang has already seen it? ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "When Concubine Zhuang danced and played the piano for Concubine Li at the birthday banquet of the queen mother, I felt that there was a problem with the rhythm, I didn't understand music theory, and at first I thought I was wrong and didn't care. The cooperation between the three of us in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year was the rhythm I told them, although Concubine Zhuang covered it up well, this time I was sure I heard it right. If it weren't for Concubine Li's good dancing foundation, she would have made a fool of herself. At that time, I began to pay attention to Concubine Zhuang's attitude towards Concubine Li. No matter how well a person hides his eyes, he can't deceive people, and when Concubine Zhuang looks at Concubine Li, sometimes there is hatred in her eyes. ”
Sun Dehai said: "I suspect that the haunting of Qixiuyuan was done by Concubine Zhuang. ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Do you have evidence? ”
Sun Dehai said: "There is no empirical evidence, but it is almost the same. ”
Zhang Mengjie raised her eyebrows and glanced at Sun Dehai.
Sun Dehai continued: "That night, when I went back from practicing martial arts with my brother, well, and Gonggong Lu, I saw a dark shadow enter Concubine Zhuang's bedroom, and there happened to be a palace maid serving tea to Concubine Zhuang, so I found a reason to serve tea to Concubine Zhuang's dormitory. I observed that there was no one else in the dormitory, and Concubine Zhuang looked very awake when she looked like she was already sleeping, and I saw some fine beads of sweat on her forehead on such a cold day, and she seemed to be a little tired. Another time I met Xiaolian, she told me that once when she threw away the clothes that Zhao Meiren didn't want, there was the white dress found outside Concubine Li's bedroom, and after throwing it away, she felt that the white clothes were very good and it was a new one, but it was a pity, she wanted to pick up the white dress. When she returned, someone had already picked up the white dress, and seeing that the dress and back looked a little like Concubine Zhuang, I was even more sure that Concubine Zhuang had done this. ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "We don't know the grievances between Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Li, Concubine Li was just frightened by that incident, so don't make any extraneous branches." ”
Sun Dehai said: "Looking at Concubine Zhuang's recent behavior, I'm afraid she will do something she shouldn't do." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "We have been paying attention recently, as long as she doesn't have excessive behavior, forget it, and find a way to stop her if she finds anything." ”
Sun Dehai said: "I'm afraid I can't prevent it." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "You are quite loyal to your master, I am afraid that you will complain about me!" ”
Sun Dehai said: "During the time we got along, I understood what kind of person Niangniang was, and Niangniang would not let me change my master easily." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "You are very smart, you should go back, don't let Concubine Zhuang be suspicious, we can only do our best in this matter." ”
