In the early morning of the next day, Ling Ruoyi saw that her grandmother's condition had stabilized, so she planned to go back to Ling's mansion first, although her grandmother was old and her physical functions had deteriorated, and now she could only rely on medicine to maintain her life, but she still wanted to find out if there was any other way to prolong the life of the kind old man.

When driving the carriage back to Ling's Mansion, he happened to see the housekeeper Chen Feng directing the family to arrange the flower pots in the courtyard. "Uncle Chen, is there any noble person coming, so busy early in the morning."

"Oh, eldest lady, yesterday the eldest lady and King Qi came back more suddenly, Xiangye was not prepared, Xiangye said that Miss likes peonies, so let the old slave put more peony flowers in the courtyard for the eldest lady to enjoy." Chen Feng said with a smile.

Although there was no change on Chen Feng's face, Ling Ruoyi still noticed something strange on the face of a family member who carried flower pots, but if he asked directly, it seemed unlikely, and then smiled lightly: "Daddy really has a heart, I'll bother Uncle Chen first, I'll go back to the room to rest first." ”

Ling Ruohui walked all the way to Fengyin Pavilion, and he would always see that the eyes of the people were looking at him wrong, which further affirmed the thoughts in Ling Ruohui's heart, something must have happened last night. It's just that someone has given a gag order, everyone doesn't dare to say it, those who can order a gag in Ling Xiang's mansion, except for Ling Xiang, there is only Ling Yunfei, although King Qi has a noble status, there is absolutely no reason to show off his power in other people's homes.

"Miss, the slave thinks these people are weird." Mu'er said softly.

"Yes, it's weird, let's talk about it when we go back to Fengyin Pavilion, Mengchun, find the family who was wearing a dark green shirt in the courtyard at night, I have something to ask him."

"Yes, miss."

Hurried all the way, returned to Fengyin Pavilion, pushed open the door, and saw King Qi sitting at the table, looking at a table of breakfast, no appetite. "What, doesn't the prince like to eat these breakfasts?" Ling Ruoyi said with a smile.

Hearing that it was Ling Ruoxi's voice, King Qi raised his eyes and saw Ling Ruohui's figure, but looking at her expression, he shouldn't have known what happened last night, and besides, nothing happened last night, so he was worried about it.

"Lady, you're not at home, it's really pitiful for me to stay alone in the empty room." King Qi said with a face full of grievances.

"Why are you staying alone in the empty room, it's so pitiful, isn't there Yunfei drinking with you." Ling Ruoxuan said with a smile.

"But without you, Fengyin Pavilion is lonely."

As soon as these words came out, Mu'er, Mengchun and others covered their lips and snickered, looking at the prince who is usually a jade tree in the wind, with a graceful demeanor, I don't know how many girls' hearts have been lost, how can there be such a dead face.

"What are you laughing at, I'll give you a mother-in-law when I turn around, and see if you're still smiling." King Qi feigned anger. As soon as they talked about Xu Po's house, Mu'er, Mengchun and the others immediately blushed and buried their heads low, like quails.

"Lord Wang, don't make fun of the slaves and maids, the slaves and maids are waiting outside the door, and they won't disturb you to talk to the princess." Meng Chun said with a red face. If this was in normal times, Mengchun and the others would naturally call Ling Ruoyi Miss, but today the prince said that he was going to give them the mother-in-law's family, and he didn't change his name to the princess, what should the prince do if he was really angry and let them go casually.

Mu'er, Mengchun and others were all guarding outside the door, and after a while, Mengchun raised her feet and left, Mu'er said softly: "Sister Mengchun, where are you going?" What should I do if Miss Wait is looking for someone? ”

"I'll do what Miss explains, and I'll be back in a while, if Miss asks, just say it." After finishing speaking, Mengchun walked away without looking back.

When he walked into the garden of the courtyard, Mengchun vaguely heard the whispers of two little maids who were pruning flower branches.

"Sister Xiumei, these two young ladies are really bold enough, they actually ran into Fengyin Pavilion in the middle of the night to seduce King Qi, and their reputation is ruined, how can they get married."

"Shhhhh......h ”

"Sister Xiumei, what I said is also the truth."

"You girl, are you going to die? I said that you are not allowed to talk nonsense, it doesn't matter if you die, but don't bother me. After finishing speaking, Xiumei hurriedly turned around and left, if others saw her talking to Xiaolan's girl about last night, she wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.

Mengchun saw this Xiumei's figure walking away, and also heard from Fang Cai's conversation that the little maid who was still pruning the flower branches was a guy who didn't hide her mouth, so it was better to open a gap from her.

Thinking of this, Meng Chun stepped forward with a smile and said, "This sister, why do you prune the branches alone, let me help you." With that, he picked up a pair of scissors and began to prune the branches.

The little maid is naturally not stupid, Mengchun's outfit is obviously different from that of the Prime Minister's house, and when she greeted the prince and the eldest lady yesterday, this is the eldest lady's close maid, so she ran over to help herself prune the flower branches, is there something to ask yourself for help? It stands to reason that it won't, the eldest lady is a descendant, she is valued by the prime minister, and now she is the princess of Qi, what can she ask for herself.

"This sister, I can come by myself, you still have to serve the eldest lady, don't hurt your hands."

"It's okay, the eldest lady has just returned home and is resting, and there are still Mu'er and a few of them guarding it, I'm just idle and have nothing to do, so you're welcome." With that, he began to prune the branches again.

"Then thank you, sister." Xiaolan said softly.

"You have a sister called, if I don't help you, I don't feel at ease, by the way, what's your name?" Mengchun said with a smile. The work in hand did not stop.

"My name is Xiaolan, and I have only been in the house as a maid for more than a month."

"Oh, in this way, our Xiangfu is the best place to do things, Xiangye has a good temper, and there are King Anjun and Princess Lixia in the mansion, it is not easy to find a house like this in Beijing."

"Yes, Xiangye and the county king are both good-tempered, and they have a lot of money every month. If only I had entered the house as a maid earlier. ”

"How do you say that?" Mengchun wondered.

"If you enter the house as a maid earlier, maybe you can serve in Fengyin Pavilion, and follow the eldest lady so beautifully." She was very envious of the pomp and circumstance of the eldest lady returning home last night, but unfortunately she is just a maid doing rough work now, and she is not as good as those maids who serve her aunt and young lady.

Hearing this, Mengchun hooked her lips and smiled, and said in her heart, this Xiaolan is actually a person who likes to climb high branches, so it's okay, if you see profit and forget righteousness, then seize her weakness, give her silver, and use her words, so that when you go to that family again, you can know how much truth he answered.

Thinking of this, Mengchun smiled and said, "By the way, Xiaolan, when I passed by here just now, I heard what you said to that person named Xiumei, the second young lady ran to Fengyin Pavilion to seduce the prince?" ”

Hearing this, Xiaolan gasped, and sure enough, Fang Cai's words were heard, if this was known to Xiangye or the king of the county, he would definitely kill himself.

"No...... No...... No, no, I don't know anything. Xiaolan hurriedly waved her hand.

"Oh, my good sister, just tell me, you know, the second miss is not favored, and I have always hated that the eldest lady can marry King Qi, if you can shake out the dirty things that the second lady did, Xiangye may drive the second miss out for the sake of the family's reputation, if you don't keep you in the house, I will beg the eldest lady to take you to the Qi Palace, how about it." Mengchun whispered temptation.

When Xiaolan heard this, her heart moved, the Qi Wangfu is much more majestic than the Xiangfu, how to say that it is also the palace, and the monthly silver is also rich, and you can be proud when you go out. Mengchun saw that Xiaolan had been moved by herself, and then took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and stuffed it into Xiaolan's hand.

Xiaolan looked at it, it was a full ten taels of silver, her own salary for half a year, it seems that it is still Qi Wangfu's magnanimity, even the reward is ten taels, and yesterday a prime minister gave each person five taels of silver. Maybe...... Perhaps, she told the eldest lady about last night, and she could get more reward.

Thinking of this, Xiaolan looked around to make sure that there was no one, so she whispered to Mengchun: "Sister, let me tell you, you must not tell others that I said it." ”

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Yes, okay, I said. Didn't the eldest lady go to see the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion last night, and the county king and the prince drank a few more glasses, or the county king helped the prince back to the Fengyin Pavilion. Later, it was already very late, and the second miss secretly flowed into the Fengyin Pavilion, during which everyone didn't know what happened, but everyone heard the shouts of the second miss, and later, when everyone arrived at the Fengyin Pavilion, they saw the second miss standing in the room in rags. ”

"That's the case, what about the prince?" Mengchun is most worried about what happens to the prince, if the prince is really sorry for the young lady, the young lady will definitely leave the prince, this second young lady is really hateful.

"The prince is neatly dressed, the prince was very angry at that time, and when Xiang Ye saw all this, he only let the second lady be locked up in the Lianxiang Pavilion, and gave everyone five taels of silver as a hush money."

Hearing Xiaolan say this, Mengchun breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, I know, you can't tell anyone else about this, beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth, okay, I'm leaving." ”

I hurried all the way to the front yard, and happened to see the dust and falling petals of the little guy in the dark green shirt sweeping the floor. "Little brother." Mengchun shouted softly.

"This sister, you call me." The little guy hurriedly ran over and said. Although he didn't know Mengchun's name, when he greeted King Qi and the eldest lady, he really saw it, this beautiful woman was one of the eldest lady's close maids.

"Yes, the eldest lady likes peony flowers, so put two pots on the eldest lady's yard." Mengchun said with a smile.

"Yes, the little ones will go." After finishing speaking, the little girl picked up the two best peonies around him and followed Mengchun to Fengyin Pavilion. On the way, Mengchun didn't forget to talk to this little guy about the family's shortcomings.

"Little brother, how long have you been in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"This sister, I only came to the Xiangfu half a year ago to do things, the Xiangye and the county king are good people, and Steward Chen is willing to teach, so I can do things well."

Hearing this, Mengchun raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, don't look at the young age of this boy, but he is very strict in his speech, he really can't look good, and the sea water can't fight, such a clever subordinate, he doesn't dare to ask too much, otherwise he will find a chance to slip away, what the young lady wants to ask, then who will answer......
