Chapter 239: The Medicine Sold in the Prince's Gourd
When I arrived in the front yard, I saw the prince sitting in front of the bookcase and reading the official documents.
Lu Meiren Ying Yingfu saluted: "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness." ”
Pei Xuanling didn't even glance at Lu Meiren, but still lowered his head and focused on writing, as if he didn't know about Lu Meiren's arrival.
Huang Dechang said with a smile: "Lu Meiren, it just so happens that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is preparing for dinner, so you can prepare water and wait for His Highness to clean your hands." ”
Lu Meiren glanced at the prince sitting in front of the bookcase and answered "yes".
Soon, the palace maid in the front yard brought a basin of water and handed it to Lu Meiren.
After Lu Meiren took it, she knelt beside the prince with water, "Your Highness, the concubine is waiting for you to clean your hands, right?" ”
However, she was answered by silence......
Although Lu Meiren was puzzled, she looked at the serious appearance of the prince concentrating on reviewing the official documents, and thought of what she had done, so she didn't dare to ask more, so she got up by herself.
But just before she was about to get up, she heard the prince say coldly: "Lone let you get up?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Meiren continued to kneel down with water.
Immediately afterwards, the crown prince continued to review his official documents, only to assume that Lu Meiren did not exist.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Meiren carried a basin of water, and her arms were so sore that she couldn't bear it anymore.
And the water she was holding was swaying, as if it would fall at any moment.
"Bang dang" with a loud bang!
Lu Meiren finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the copper basin in his hand fell to the ground.
The brass basin swirled on the ground and sprinkled it with water.
Lu Meiren knelt on the ground, her hem was soaked, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly explained: "Concubine... The concubine was not intentional... The concubine has just been held for too long......"
"......" Pei Xuanling didn't punish Lu Meiren, he just glanced at Lu Meiren casually, put down the wolf pen in his hand, got up and said lightly: "Let's eat a meal!" ”
Huang Dechang shouted "pass the meal" to the outside in a sharp voice, and stepped forward to serve the prince to clean his hands.
After the minions had laid out the meal and tried the poison, Huang Dechang walked up to Lu Meiren, "Lu Meiren, Your Highness is going to eat, you go and serve His Highness for dinner." ”
Lu Meiren's knees were numb for a long time, and she struggled to get up with help holding on to the bookcase, her legs like thousands of ants gnawing at her flesh and bones.
Lifting his numb legs, he slowly walked towards the prince, each step was difficult and heavy.
Because, she didn't know what kind of humiliation and torture she was about to face.
When Lu Meiren walked to the dining table, Huang Dechang smiled and said, "Your Highness likes to drink some soup before eating, so Lu Meiren will serve a bowl of soup to His Highness first." ”
So, Lu Meiren served the prince a bowl of pork rib soup.
She bowed over, held the bowl in both hands and handed it to the prince, "Your Highness, please drink soup." ”
"Gu Jin'er suddenly doesn't want to drink soup first, Huang Dechang, you can give Gu Sheng another bowl of rice." Pei Xuanling not only didn't take the soup in Lu Meiren's hand, but said to Lu Meiren: "You continue to hold it." ”
Lu Meiren had no choice but to maintain the posture of bending over to serve the soup.
The soup had just been boiled out of the kitchen in the front yard, and it was as hot as boiling water.
And the bowl that serves the soup is a porcelain bowl, which is not insulated at all.
Even though Lu Meiren was holding the raised circle at the bottom of the porcelain bowl, the fingers of her hands were still red.
It didn't take long for her to hold on.
"Bang dang!"
The porcelain bowl in Lu Meiren's hand smashed on the ground, and her fingers were already red and swollen, and even blistered.
Pei Xuanling, who was chewing food, heard a loud noise and looked at Lu Meiren sharply.
Facing the sharp eyes of the prince, Lu Meiren kowtowed in fear, "Concubine... The concubine deserves death for her sins......"
Not long after, the prince's angry rebuke came from the study.
"Lu Meiren is careless, collided with Lonely, and is now grounded for three months, and fined for three months!"
"It's... The concubine obeyed the order...... "Lu Meiren received the punishment and left the front yard in despair.
Although she knew before she came that it would be good for the prince to look for her, sure enough, the prince had been picking on her thorns all night.
Her life in the palace was already poor, and the prince also fined her monthly salary, how should she live the rest of her life?
The key prince also punished her for grounding, so wouldn't she be able to sleep for three months, and the first son of the East Palace was destined to have no chance with her?
Killing people is not a punishment, although the prince did not directly say that she picked up Jiang Liangdi's weapon artwork, but there is a way to torture people to punish her!
The next day, the news of Lu Meiren's punishment spread in the East Palace.
The concubines of the East Palace didn't know the real reason why the prince punished Lu Meiren, but they thought that what Lu Darong did was too despicable, and even took the prince to see Lu Meiren unhappy, which angered Lu Meiren.
Only Jiang Shishi knew the real reason why the prince punished Lu Meiren.
"Little master, it's late April, and Lu Meiren has been grounded for three months, won't he have to come out in late July to walk around?" Chunxing pinched her fingers and counted the days.
Jiang Shishi listened to Chun Xing's report, and her mind was not on Lu Meiren, but thought of her aunt Song Cairen, "Chun Xing, will it be Song Cairen's birthday in a few days?" ”
Chun Xing tilted her head and thought about it, and nodded, "Well, the day after tomorrow is Song Cairen's birthday, do you want to prepare a congratulatory gift for Song Cairen?" ”
Jiang Shishi: "I want it." ”
"Then you prepare the gifts, and then the slaves and maids will send them to the Lanqin Palace."
"Nope." Jiang Shishi said lightly: "It just so happens that I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, and the day after tomorrow I will personally go to send a congratulatory gift, and by the way, I will catch up with my aunt." ”
Although every time she went to visit Song Cairen in Lanqin Palace, Concubine Li was approved.
But after all, she is a concubine of the East Palace, and if she goes diligently, it will be bad.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, under normal circumstances, she asks Chun Xing to give things to the palace maid beside Song Cairen at the door.
Only at the necessary critical moment will she personally go to Lanqin Hall to visit Song Cairen.
According to the book, Song Cairen was framed on his birthday this year, and was demoted by Emperor Jianyuan to the lowest position in the harem, and entered the cold palace.
Because Song Cairen's first love was a thorn in Emperor Jianyuan's heart, this is something that the old concubines of the harem know.
And this time, the concubines who framed Song Cairen behind the scenes still used Song Cairen's old lover as a contradiction, which angered Emperor Jianyuan.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shishi decided to go to Lanqin Hall in person the day after tomorrow to help her aunt avoid trouble.
**
The day after tomorrow, Jiang Shishi prepared her birthday gift early in the morning.
After lunch, she went to Changle Palace.
In the past, she only took Chunxing there, but now it is different, she also brought a eunuch.
Since she was promoted to Liangdi, there was a tall and burly eunuch in the courtyard, called Xiao Guizi.
Jiang Shishi also came to the Eastern Liang Kingdom to know that the ancient eunuchs were not as thin as on TV.
On the contrary, because they cannot produce certain hormones in their bodies during puberty, their bones will stop developing later, and they will be a few years taller than normal people, and they will be much taller and burly.
When the three masters and servants arrived at Changle Palace, they explained that they were here to congratulate Song Cairen on his birthday, and Concubine Li of Changle Palace was approved.
With the permission of Concubine Li, Jiang Shishi entered Changle Palace and went straight to the Lanqin Hall of Song Cairen.
However, just as she was about to reach the Lanqin Palace, two women stopped her going.
"Stop!" A young and beautiful strange woman blocked Jiang Shishi's way, and looked Jiang Shishi up and down, "Which palace are you from?" Why haven't I seen you? ”
