Chapter 23: Listen to the Corner

You're a good guy.

I quickened my pace, but Zifeng quickly followed, and her face was happy, "That is to say... It is very likely that Ruyan Yuan is just a prostitute who is a little like Xu Yingying, and the prince redeemed her and trained her to become the second Xu Yingying, and she is supported in the mansion, but it is just a pleasure to dispel her thoughts - for the prince, Ruyan is just a substitute! ”

Now it's as you wish.

"Hmm... Makes sense......" I nodded in response.

It does make sense.

Zifeng's eyes flowed, and he said, "According to Ruyan's crying and crying nature, if you know about this, I don't know what will happen-"

What are you trying to do?

I immediately spoke out to stop Zifeng's ghost idea of coming out, "Ruyan didn't have a chance to come to meet these two 'distinguished guests', how did she see the appearance of the concubine?" Even if the two of them happen to meet, if they don't know the reason, they will only be the same as everyone else in the house, just as someone who looks similar. But it's okay not to talk about it, but if you think about it, it makes people think about it - don't talk too much. ”

Although others don't know the relationship between Zhou Lingqing and Xu Yingying, there will always be discerning people who can see that something happens - something strange, such as smoke and concubines are so similar! Oh no, why does the prince want to raise a person who is similar to the concubine in all aspects in the mansion? Could it be that you have a wrong idea for the concubine? You have to know that there are a hundred stories in the eyes of a hundred people, what will it be like to pass it on?

It turns out that there are quite a lot of discerning people.

This matter spread in the mansion for half a day, and when Zhou Lingqing came back at night, seven or eight versions had already been passed in Xiao Jiu's mouth.

There are two of the most famous, one is that the concubine and Ruyan are long-lost sisters, when the prince was in charge of the Guanwai, he picked up the house, carefully raised him, received his own backyard, and since then he has enjoyed the blessings of Qi people. The second statement is close to reality, saying that Prince Ling secretly had feelings for the concubine, but he was eighteen years old and guarded the border, knowing that his future was bleak, and he had no chance to marry the daughter of the high-ranking Prime Minister Zuo. I found someone who looked similar and raised it by my side, but because of this woman's low status, she couldn't even be a serious concubine, so she could only enter the house as a dancer.

Xiao Jiu said passionately while making the quilt for me, "I have been familiar with the concubine since the first glance, but it turned out that others told me, and I knew that it was like smoke with this face in the house every day!" ”

Do you have to be reminded of this? It's not okay to pick up people's teeth every day, why are you still at the forefront of eating melons?

I was just trying to cheer up Xiao Jiu and not lose his status in the "melon-eating" world, when suddenly a low quarrel came from outside.

I silenced Xiao Jiu, put on my coat and went to the icy sky outside, only to see the study room lit up with a faint light, a man and a woman, two figures swaying on the window.

It's the middle of the night, I'm afraid it's not a thief. I approached quietly, with my ears close to the window, ready to shout the slogan "Catch the thief".

“…… I just wanted to see you..."

This is a female voice who deliberately lowers her voice.

"Self-proposed—"

This is a male voice with a cold voice, to be precise, it is Zhou Lingqing with a cold voice.

I breathed a sigh of relief, how good it was to light the headlights openly, and the whole atmosphere was like a thief in the house.

"That's right! If I hadn't taken it upon myself to ask the Queen Mother for grace to go out of the palace with her and come to your house, I wouldn't know, you... Find a prostitute... Even made her pregnant!? …… What about me, where have you put me like this? ”

The female voice, oh no, Xu Yingying roared in a low voice.

"Where did you go? When you choose to be weak and deceitful, and you are at the mercy of others, you have already found your place—"

"Weak and bullied, at the mercy of others" "This sounds familiar?

"So what can I do? My father is in his twilight years, and the emperor is so strong and arbitrary... I don't have a choice..."

"So, you just chose what you wanted, and I don't blame you-"

Xu Yingying paused for a moment before she said, "The implication is that you don't blame me, and I'm not qualified to point fingers at you now, right?" ”

Zhou Lingqing was silent.

Xu Yingying's voice suddenly cried, and her hand wrapped around Zhou Lingqing's waist on the window shadow, "Do you know that I am already doing my best for our future?" I'm just one step away from the Queen! Even if I can't be the queen, no one in the harem will be higher than me! As long as I have a prince, we have a child, and the throne will be in our hands sooner or later! When the time comes, we..."

I listened to it in a cold sweat, is this going to cause trouble in the palace? If you listen to it again, are you going to see a restrictive picture? I rubbed my hands nervously.

At this time, Zhou Lingqing suddenly pushed Xu Yingying's hand away, and then turned around and turned his back to her, "When I went to see you in the palace that night, I agreed to do my own thing in the future, you are Hui Guifei, and I am Prince Ling-Hui Guifei, please go back." ”

"You're really... Want to distance yourself from me? ”

Hearing it, she was desperate.

"There's nothing wrong with you pursuing low-hanging fruit and fame, and I'm doing my job."

You can tell that he is very ruthless.

After a long silence, a faint response was heard - she said "yes" in a low voice.

Then, with the sound of pushing the door, I rolled into the dry grass, only to see Xu Yingying walk out with a heavy cloak, and soon left the garden and disappeared from my field of vision.

"You just nest in the grass until tomorrow morning, and when the time comes, it will freeze into ice, and this king will ask someone to collect your corpse—"

Zhou Lingqing's mellow and gloomy voice came from the window, and at the same time, the small candle flame in Fang Cai's study brightened.

Hiss, eavesdropping, getting caught again and again.

I turned over and got up from the ground, patted the dirt on my body, entered the study, said hello, and said unreasonably, "I was making a bed to sleep, but suddenly I heard a noise in the study, and the light was dim, I thought there was a thief in the house, so I thought I would come and take a look......"

Who knew that I watched a big play?

"Isn't that a surprise that you caught the thief of this king?"

Indeed, I nodded.

"How? Think this king is ruthless? ”

This guy is straight to the point.

"There's a little—"

I listened to it all, and it didn't look good to hide it. Since it's straight to the point, everyone is straight to the point.

"Oh?"

"Actually, it's not, this thing... From the prince's point of view, the noble concubine Niangniang accepted the edict and entered the palace and obeyed the will of heaven, which is indeed disloyal to your love since childhood, and I don't believe that you will do whatever you want...... Oh no, no, no, I don't believe you'll have a day when you're not controlled by others! From the perspective of the concubine, the years have flown by, do you really have to wait for the invisible and untouchable future that the prince said? Besides, now there are three concubines in the prince's mansion, one concubine who is happy to prepare, and one me, who has just been promoted to the position of princess, the concubine Niangniang, is bound to worry about if she becomes an old girl in the future, can you still run on her body one by one? ”

Zhou Lingqing was stunned for a moment when he heard what I said, "You women are really troublesome, why do you have to look forward and backward like this?" ”

"Because all the wealth and life, the power of life and death, are in your hands, and all the favors, humiliations, likes and dislikes, are also in your thoughts-like smoke, you can hold her to heaven, or you can throw her into the abyss, what a living example-"

I lamented the injustice of the world.

"You think you understand—your brain is so clear, you don't know how to put on more clothes before eavesdropping on the corner?" Zhou Lingqing's eyes swept towards me, and he threw the blanket on the chaise longue, and then he continued, "You have some truth in the first half of the sentence, but the back is all wrong, like smoke, she is in the abyss——"

What kind of peerless scumbag is this? Speechless and choked.

I threw the blanket on his face, but there was a regular smile on the corner of my mouth, "Lord rest in peace soon, I'll go first-"

At this time, I thought that the "abyss" in his mouth was a prostitution house, and I was still scolding this guy in my heart, and it was difficult to become a hero and a good son.

It wasn't until the second day that the Queen Mother and the concubine went to Guohua Temple under the escort of Zhou Lingqing, and the original complexion got better, and Ruyan, who had grown a few pounds of meat, suddenly fell ill in bed that afternoon, and Mama Xu invited me over, and I finally knew the whole truth of the matter.

In the smoke-like pavilion, the stove was thriving, and the servants stood in two rows, with their heads bowed at the head of the bed.

Mama Xu wiped her tears from the side, "I didn't eat seriously at noon, I only drank a small bowl of porridge, and I vomited it again half an hour ago——"

Ruyan was lying on the jade pillow with her head back at this time, and her two godless eyes looked sideways at me, "Mama... Take everyone downstairs to rest first... I have something to say...... Same... Say to the lady—"

When Mama Xu heard this, she told me a few more words and went downstairs with a group of little girls.

"The concubine... I really look very similar to the concubine, can you see it? Ruyan said weakly.

See, everybody see. I knew it would come sooner or later!

I walked over to the couch, sat down, and took the vein of her right wrist, "What's so strange about that?" Most good-looking people are similar, but ugly people are ugly and have their own characteristics, you shouldn't think so much now-"

"Madame, this is reassuring me—" she said with a smile she squeezed out, "I heard yesterday, and before they left today, although I was not qualified to see them off, I also took a look at her from a distance, and she had a graceful and luxurious temperament, and I ...... Cough...... Ahem... I can't compare......"

"You naturally have your strengths, which are incomparable to her, and now your heart is really weak, and if you continue like this, you won't be able to get along with yourself-"

My dignified princess has now become Aunt Zhang, the persuasion expert on the street next door.

"What do I have in it? It's just that there is a face that looks a little like her, and what else is beside it," her eyes were wide open, and her tears wet the pillow as if the thread had been broken, and she raised her hand to touch her stomach, "but there is a child in her womb, but she is still a child who stole it while he was drunk..."
