Chapter 98: The Magpie's Identity
For this kind of thing, Qin Luoyi naturally didn't have much to say, her feud with Song Jinya was similar to Lu Mochuan, and even deeper, Rong Yunhe was caught in the middle, if he knew it at that time, I don't know how he would end up.
With a lot of thoughts, Qin Luoyi simply began to gossip and said, "Eh, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, and I don't know what it looks like outside." ”
"The peddlers and pawns kept shouting, the people were facing the loess with their backs to the sky, everyone was in a hurry, rushing for a living, and that's it. Ruan Haojun sighed, summing it all up in one sentence.
"That's not bad, it's a peaceful and prosperous world, don't forget, there are also singing and dancing. Qin Luoyi added a sentence funny, the last sentence Ruan Haojun would not say, after all, Qin Luoyi was still born in Qin Lou.
Ruan Haojun smiled and said, "Yes, it's true, I don't know how long it will be peaceful." ”
Immortals fight, mortals suffer, maybe like Qin Luoyi and Ruan Haojun, will not be affected too much, but for the people, life will be even more difficult.
Now that the situation is about to erupt, if the vassal king really rebels, the imperial court will inevitably send troops to suppress it, so that taxes and other things will increase, and the people will be precarious, and it will be even more difficult in the future.
"It's useless to think about that, at least for me, but Jun Gongzi should pay more attention. Qin Luoyi smiled, she is now the prince's concubine, and she can't show up if she knows it, but Ruan Haojun, if she wants to have some achievements, she will become a leader sooner or later, and he must know about these important things.
"Haha, I just said, go with the flow. Ruan Haojun didn't care, and didn't seem to be worried about this matter at all.
Qin Luoyi really admired Ruan Haojun's freedom and ease, and said with a smile: "It's still a chic, admirable." ”
"Why be polite. ”
"It's okay, it's not too early, I should go back to the house, the prince must have returned. Qin Luoyi looked at the sun hanging high above his head, and got up to leave.
Ruan Haojun didn't keep it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, but you don't want to be stiff because the prince is stiff, the prince is kind, no matter what, just make it clear." ”
"I understand. ”
Ruan Haojun's words made Qin Luoyi's heart warm, and he felt that the troubles that had been bothered for many days were slightly relieved, and his heart was comfortable, and after getting up to say goodbye, on the way back, even his steps were much lighter.
Qin Luoyi walked on the road, the beads and magpies that had just accompanied her had already been sent away by her, she was also bored, thinking of Ruan Haojun's words, she was not in a hurry, but leisurely looked at the surrounding scenery.
In the spring, the flowers bloomed, a peaceful, the slightest fragrance of flowers made people feel refreshed, and Qin Luoyi also felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
The avenues and trails extend in all directions, and there are many roads leading to the palace, Qin Luoyi did not take the main road, but picked up the trail and walked leisurely, looking like a walk.
Seeing that the palace was not far away, Qin Luoyi also estimated whether to go to Rong Yunhe, explain the matter clearly, and talk about it well, but as soon as he turned the corner, before he reached the main gate of the palace, he saw the magpie looking left and right, looking cautious, and kept going in the direction of the palace.
"Where are the magpies going?"
Qin Luoyi raised her eyebrows, her eyes were also gloomy, looking at the magpie's appearance, it was obvious that she wanted to meet someone secretly, thinking of the magpie's temperament, she always felt that such behavior was very suspicious.
She didn't step forward to say hello, but quietly followed the magpie to see what she wanted to do, with Qin Luoyi's current status, no one would stop her in the harem.
The magpie entered the harem, and when someone stopped her, she took out a waist card and signaled, and the guards let her go without hesitation, she went all the way unimpeded, looking straight into the harem, Qin Luoyi had already gone to the palace more than once.
Cining Palace!
Qin Luoyi saw the magpie enter Cining Palace from a distance, and his eyes shrank, that was the residence of the Queen Mother, could it be that the magpie was the Queen Mother's person?
The more Qin Luoyi thought about it, the more she shuddered, the Queen Mother was not thin on her, what was the intention of inserting an eyeliner beside her? For a while, Qin Luoyi only felt a chill down her spine.
"Could it be that the magpie was originally arranged by the Queen Mother in the palace to spy on Song Jinya?" Qin Luoyi also knew that the magpie had been in the palace for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, the magpie could be assigned to her and become her maid, which was deliberately arranged by Song Jinya, so that the magpie should have been placed by the Queen Mother in the palace to monitor Song Jinya, but later by coincidence, he was arranged to his side.
The more Qin Luoyi thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she was a little lucky, fortunately, she found it early, and since she entered the palace, she has not done anything wrong during this time, she has been very low-key, to the two slaves and maids of Magpie and Liuzhu, the most she says on weekdays is just not to do too much, not to cause trouble, and at the same time she has not made any moves that the Queen Mother dislikes.
Qin Luoyi didn't get too close, so as not to alarm the guards in the Empress Dowager's palace, and after seeing the magpie enter, she left, thinking to herself what to do in the future.
The magpie has been favored by the Queen Mother since she was like a palace, this girl is straightforward and fast-talking, although it is inevitable that she is thoughtful, but what she says is also heartfelt, and she will not be like other slaves, she thinks too much, and she is often partial, or she is easy to be bought by others.
The magpie is very popular with the Queen Mother, but in order to prevent accidentally revealing her identity, she also took a lot of effort to intimidate and add candy, and soon made the magpie relent.
Since then, she has secretly arranged the magpie into the palace, on the one hand, to observe Rong Yunhe, on the other hand, it is also aimed at Song Jinya, Song Jinya has become more and more presumptuous in the harem in recent years, everything against her, nine out of ten have been secretly removed by her, but this woman is scheming, does not leak, and is very favored by the emperor, has always been safe, and has faintly become a tyrant in the harem.
The queen mother is not young, and naturally she doesn't want to be the overlord of the harem, but she also doesn't like Song Jinya's ruthlessness, this woman's mind is too vicious, and it is not a good thing to stay in the harem, not to mention that although the queen is still orthodox now, but after a long time, I am afraid it is rare for the emperor to please, and the emperor may want to abolish the queen.
For Song Jinya, the Queen Mother has felt more and more in recent years that this woman cannot be kept, which is a big disaster.
The magpie didn't know the Queen Mother's plans, but he had always been very obedient to the Queen Mother's orders.
When the magpie saw the Queen Mother, she kowtowed very solemnly, and the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "I don't know what Qin Luoyi is doing all day now?"
The magpie thought for a while and said, "Madame, she still rarely goes out every day, except for reading books all day long, she is fiddling with some flowers and plants in the yard. ”
"That's it?" the Queen Mother thought.
Magpie nodded and said, "Yes, Queen Mother, but a few days ago, the prince gave his wife a hairpin, which was paid tribute by Xixia, and the emperor rewarded it to the prince, but a few days after giving it to the lady, the prince came to ask for it back to Mrs. Hua, so the lady quarreled with the prince." ”
"What are you arguing about?" the Queen Mother still squinted and leaned on the couch, looking careless.
The magpie thought for a moment and said, "At that time, the slave didn't dare to approach, and the lady asked the prince why he wanted to give it to someone else." ”
"What happened later?" No need for the magpie to elaborate, the Queen Mother probably guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.
"The prince didn't look for Mrs. for a few days, until the night before yesterday, Mrs. went out in the middle of the night, and when she came back, the prince happened to come first, Mrs. thought it was a thief, and made a sneak attack, but she didn't expect to be restrained by the prince, and the two quarreled. ”
The magpie is careful, and whatever it is, it says nothing, and there is no partiality.
"Leaving the house in the middle of the night?" the Queen Mother frowned slightly and asked, "Where did you go?"
"The slave didn't know, the lady asked the slave and the maid to keep the door, not to let the slave and the maid follow, saying that someone was looking for it, so she said Gong, the lady went to a cup of tea, and came back soon, presumably not far. ”
The magpie did not hide everything she had done, the queen mother asked again, and saw that Qin Luoyi was very low-key on weekdays, and she did not cause trouble, nor did she make any publicity, and even ignored the ridicule of Hua Weilan and other people in the palace, and was a little satisfied, and then gave the magpie some silver taels, and let the magpie go back, and ordered her to continue to observe carefully.
The magpie naturally didn't know that his actions had been secretly discovered by Qin Luoyi, and he was still the same as before.
Qin Luoyi has become more and more uneasy since she learned that the magpie is the person arranged by the Queen Mother, and she has a pair of eyes around her to monitor her every move at any time, which makes her uncomfortable, not to mention that she also secretly has dealings with Rong Yutao, if this matter is learned by the magpie and informs the Queen Mother, then she will be completely finished in the future, and the good impression that she has been operating for a long time in the Queen Mother will probably be ruined.
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a big trouble, Qin Luoyi secretly made up his mind in his heart.
"Liuzhu, I have something to ask you when you come here. ”
As soon as he returned to the mansion, he didn't have to rest for long, and Qin Luoyi attracted Liuzhu.
"Ma'am. Liuzhu was meticulous in his salute.
Qin Luoyi nodded, and said with a serious face: "Liuzhu, let me ask you, what bad behavior has the magpie done recently?"
"Magpie?" Liuzhu was a little surprised, she knew what kind of person the magpie was, but Qin Luoyi must have had its intentions when she asked this, so she immediately thought about it and said, "No, the magpie doesn't talk more in front of Mrs. and me on weekdays, and is not popular with outsiders, but nothing else." ”
"She didn't do anything out of the ordinary, like asking things she shouldn't ask, doing things she shouldn't do. Qin Luoyi hesitated, for the magpie, she liked it in her heart, but the magpie was the queen mother's person, Rao was she liked it, and she didn't want her to stay by her side.
"No, although the magpie is a little straightforward and acts without thinking, she doesn't mess around, and she still knows the rules of the house. Liuzhu was silent for a while, and said in the affirmative.
Qin Luoyi nodded and said, "Eh, I'm worried that this girl will open her mouth to talk nonsense, that will really cause big trouble, after all, I'm not the only one in the house, there are still many people staring, I wish I was making a joke, but since it's okay, you just stare more, don't care too much." ”
