Chapter 235: Don't Confess
"Oh, that's it, it's good to do it well, Miss likes flowers, usually when Miss is not at home, the flowers in Fengyin Pavilion, you have to help take care of them."
"That's natural, Xiangye and the county king have always let the slave be in charge of the tweed in the eldest lady's courtyard, this sister can rest assured." The little guy said with a smile.
"How old are you and what's your name?"
"The little one is surnamed Lin, everyone calls me Xiao Linzi, and I'm sixteen years old this year."
"I'm sixteen, I'm not young, work hard in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and your benefits are indispensable."
"Hey, hey, the little ones know."
After about a cup of tea, Mengchun took Xiao Linzi to Fengyin Pavilion, and happened to see Ling Ruoyi wearing a pale yellow cloud smoke shirt, mopping the floor, a white palace satin plain snow silk silk cloud-shaped thousand water skirt, her hair combed into a smoke hibiscus bun, wearing a hollow orchid bead hairpin, and a thin powder on her face, she was really a beauty. Xiao Linzi was also stunned for a while, although he also saw the eldest lady yesterday, but they all lowered their heads and stood far away, how could they see it clearly, today it is really clear, the eldest lady is really as beautiful as a fairy as rumored.
"Xiao Linzi, don't say hello to the eldest lady." Mengchun reminded softly.
"Oh, Xiao Linzi has seen the eldest lady, the eldest lady Wanfu." Xiao Linzi knelt down on one knee and said.
"Get up, I heard Yunfei say that you have always taken care of the flowers in my yard, and I think you take care of it very well, so I want to see you."
"Whatever the eldest lady says, this is what a slave should do." Xiao Linzi said with a smile.
At this time, Mengchun stepped forward and whispered something in Ling Ruoxi's ear, only to see Ling Ruoxi's face become very ugly, and then glanced at Xiao Linzi and said, "Xiao Linzi, this concubine has something to ask you, you have to tell the truth." Ling Ruoyi changed his words and said lightly.
Xiao Linzi suddenly felt bad, looking at the appearance of the eldest lady, she obviously had something to ask herself, she had only been in the house for half a year, what could she ask herself, if she said that she had asked, I was afraid that it was inseparable from the second lady's seduction of the prince last night, and the master explained that he was not allowed to let the eldest lady know, why was he so unlucky. Why don't you let the eldest lady arrest and interrogate?
"Xiao Linzi, I know that there are some things to ask you, and you won't say it, so this concubine doesn't need you to say it, why do you just need to nod and shake your head when I ask, is this okay?"
"Okay." Xiao Linzi was covered with sweat. Anyway, last night's incident was not the prince's fault, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame the second lady for being inappropriate, besides, the prince didn't have anything to do with the second miss, even if the eldest lady knew, it wouldn't be good, this man's three wives and four concubines are not a normal thing, even the emperor married two sisters, the prince is not impossible, Xiao Linzi thought in his heart.
"Last night, the prince stayed alone, did the second lady sneak into the Fengyin Pavilion at night?" Xiao Linzi nodded. Ling Ruoyi asked again, "When you arrived, the second young lady was in the prince's bedroom in disheveled clothes?" And the prince is neatly dressed? Xiao Linzi nodded again.
"Okay, this concubine knows, you go and get busy with yours." Ling Ruoyi said lightly. Xiao Linzi just took two steps and said, "Concubine Ben didn't see you today, and I didn't say anything to you. When Xiao Linzi heard this, he nodded vigorously, he couldn't wait to clear up this matter with himself, he was really sleepy and gave a pillow, is there any reason to be unhappy.
"Yes, the slave just sent two pots of flowers to the eldest lady and left." Xiao Linzi said solemnly.
Hearing this, Ling Ruoxuan nodded, and then gave Mengchun a look, and Mengchun took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into Xiao Linzi's hand.
Watching Xiao Linzi walk away, Mengchun whispered in Ling Ruoxi's ear: "Miss, it seems that the second miss deliberately wants to destroy your relationship with the prince, but fortunately, the prince was not implicated." You say, why did these two young ladies do this? ”
"In order to enter the palace of King Qi." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
"Enter the Qi Palace? Miss, doesn't Miss Second like King Rui? Why did you get entangled with our prince again? ”
"She must have been instigated by someone to do this, otherwise she wouldn't dare to do it if she was bold." Ling Ruoxuan said coldly.
"Miss, are you saying that someone instructed Second Miss to destroy your relationship with the prince?" Mengchun was surprised.
"I think it's more than that, if you enter the Qi Palace, you can not only provoke discord between me and the prince, but also be a spy in the open." Ling Ruoyi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
"Who could that be? Ah, is it the King of Wisdom? Mengchun exclaimed. She thought about it, only King Rui could do such a thing, Ling Hanyan is the daughter of the Xiao family, this Xiao family and the Ling family have long been old and dead, and more importantly, this Xiao family and King Rui are grasshoppers on the same line. Although Ling Hanyan is the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, since the death of her mother, no one in this mansion is harsh on the surface, and she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but no one wants to be good to her. In such a situation, if someone brings her a meat bun, she will definitely follow that person.
"Hmph, it's not who he is, only he wants to see the chickens and dogs jumping in King Qi's house." Ling Ruoxuan said coldly. I really hate this Rui King in my heart, I have already told him, the bridge is back to the bridge, the road is back, and each has nothing to do with each other, but he can't see others good, as long as King Qi is good, he is uncomfortable, it seems that this time he must be taught a lesson.
Just thinking about it, I heard the voice of King Qi in the house, "Lady? Wife? Where are you? ”
Ling Ruoxuan withdrew the anger on his face, replaced it with a bright smile, turned his head to the door and said, "I'm watering the flowers in the courtyard." ”
After a while, I saw King Qi walking out in a white robe with ink patterns, and the jade crown on his head was decorated with a quail egg-sized South China Sea pearl, which made the whole person extraordinarily radiant.
"Lady, why did you run out by yourself and leave me alone in the room, aren't you afraid that someone will break in and frighten your husband?" King Qi pretended to be aggrieved and said.
"Someone broke in? Isn't there still me in the yard? Could it be that the husband was frightened by someone who broke into his room in his sleep? ”
Hearing this, King Qi was dumbfounded for a while, and Fang Cai's words were also said casually, but I didn't expect Yi'er to continue to say, is it ......, does she know what happened last night? Or do you want to kill yourself and not admit it? Oh, no, no, no, Yi'er is so smart, she must have seen something. So, tell the truth yourself? What if Yi'er gets angry when he hears it, if he marries Ling Hanyan, he would rather fight a bachelor for the rest of his life.
"Hehe, what kind of joke is this lady, how could Fengyin Pavilion break into outsiders." King Qi hurriedly said haha.
"Oh? Outsiders can't get in, so what about insiders? Ling Ruoyi raised her eyebrows and said. She wanted to see how long she could hide from last night's events.
King Qi looked at Ling Ruoyi's expression a little unkindly, and knew that she must have known about what happened last night, no matter what, no matter what, since she knew, then explain it honestly, wouldn't it make her angry if he hid it from her.
Thinking of this, King Qi looked at Ling Ruoyi aggrievedly and said, "Lady, don't be angry, listen to me." ”
"Say it." Ling Ruoyi said stupidly. Then he turned around and walked to the stone table under the tree, lifted the teapot, poured a cup of water and handed it to Queen Qi, poured another cup for himself, and then sat down and sipped the tea lightly, as if waiting to listen to the book.
"That's the case, didn't you go to see the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion last night? I drank two more glasses with my father-in-law and Yunfei, and when I slept until the middle of the night, Ling Hanyan ran in, speaking very explicitly, I drove him out, and she tore up her clothes by herself, saying that I was molesting her, lady, I was really wronged. ”
"Well, that's all?" Ling Ruoyi said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Later, her shouting attracted the family and the maid, and even the father-in-law and Yunfei were invited, and the father-in-law didn't say a word, so he locked Ling Hanyan in the Lianxiang Pavilion, and ordered the family to chew the root of the tongue. That's all, I really have nothing to do with her, lady, you must believe me. ”
"Well, I believe you, otherwise Dad wouldn't have locked up Hanyan, she tore her own clothes, but you were neatly dressed, which means that she is deliberately blaming you."
"Yes, yes, yes, or the lady is wise." King Qi slapped his ass again and again. Then he withdrew his smile, this is not right, since his father-in-law has ordered the mouth to be sealed, how does Yi'er know? Could it be that someone leaked the news? It must be yes, don't let this guy know who it is, if he does, he must let him eat fifty eggs in one go, and see if he dares to spread the word in the future.
I want to think about it, but I can't say it, what's more, who said what to do, the problem is already known, and I don't know what will happen next. Alas, I think he is a dignified prince, he is so afraid of his wife, he has no face when he says it, but he is willing to do this faceless thing.
"Okay, don't be a sycophant, I'm not angry enough." Ling Ruoyi feigned anger and said. Then he turned to Mengchun and Mu'er and said, "You two went to invite Daddy and Yunfei to come over, and said that I had something to discuss with them." ”
"Yes." Mu'er and Mengchun responded in unison, and then turned around and went out, respectively towards Lijingxuan and Sixue Pavilion, Sixue Pavilion was formerly known as Jinhuatang, since Ling Ruoxuan's mother died, Ling Xiang changed the name of Jinhuatang to Sixue Pavilion, as the name suggests, this is because he misses his deceased wife Xiahou Aoxue.
After about a cup of tea, Ling Xiang and Ling Yunfei stepped into the Fengyin Pavilion, "Dad, Yunfei, you all sit down, I have something to say." ”
"Okay." Ling Xiang said softly. Then he lifted his robe and sat down on the seat on his left hand. Ling Yunfei sat on the right side.
"Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it, we are all a family, you don't have to be polite."
"What I'm going to say is about last night's smoke and night breaking into the Fengyin Pavilion to frame King Qi." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
Hearing this, Ling Xiang and Ling Yunfei glanced at each other, didn't they obviously order to be sealed? Why did she still know about it, broke into the Fengyin Pavilion at night with smoke, and framed King Qi? It seems that Ling Ruoyi is going to deal with this matter personally.
"Sister, that shameless guy, you don't have to take it to heart, I vouch with my life, the prince and her absolutely nothing happened."
"I naturally know this, in order to prevent this matter from spreading, I will make a break today, otherwise if it spreads, not only will the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion be damaged, but the reputation of the Qi Wangfu will also be damaged by her."
"Yes, that's why my dad locked her up yesterday, just because he was worried that she would spread the rumors."
"How long can you be locked up, Dad, leave this matter to my daughter."
"Okay, I'll take care of it." Ling Xiang said with a smile. He knows this daughter very well, she is kind-hearted, and the mutilation of her siblings cannot be done, not to mention that this matter involves King Qi, maybe Yi'er will swallow her anger and let Hanyan enter the Qi Palace's mansion to be a side concubine or something.
"Come on, go and bring Ling Hanyan to the concubine." Ling Ruoxuan said coldly. Immediately, a family member went down to take Ling Hanyan......
