Chapter 534 Inquire about the news
In the palace of the concubine of the moon, the concubine was lazily lying on the soft couch on the side, fiddling with her nails painted with danko, looking at the pile of pastries on the table, the concubine was really difficult to mention the nature of the concubine.
This summer's ghee pastry, not a single one of them is bad, all of them are mixed with lard. Such pastries are soft and delicious to eat in winter. But this summer's taste is really a little greasy. But on the contrary, in the past few days, the imperial dining room has been distributed to her palace with these pastries.
Yue Fei was resentful in his heart, but he was helpless. In the palace, it is already very good for an unfavored concubine to be treated like this. But knowing in her heart that it was the same thing, Concubine Yue couldn't help but lose her temper.
"What's going on? Let you go to the imperial dining room to get a plate, mung bean cake, why can't you get it for so long? When the palace maids heard her scolding like this, they all knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Niangniang forgives the sin, the slave maid and so on, I have sent someone to the imperial dining room to get it, and I ask Niangniang to wait for a while."
Hearing this, Concubine Yue picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, but she was still angry. At this time, Concubine Yue's personal palace maid Du Juan walked in from outside, and saw the palace maid and eunuch kneeling in the room, Du Juan took the mung bean cake in his hand, hurriedly stepped forward, and put it in front of Concubine Yue.
"Slave and maid see Niangniang." Concubine Yue saw that it was her own wedding maid Cuckoo, so she was discouraged. "You're back, how are you going?"
The cuckoo nodded indistinctly towards the moon concubine. Seeing this, Concubine Yue finally had a smile on her face. She looked down at the palace maid and eunuch kneeling at her feet, frowned, and said, "Okay, it's enough for the palace to have cuckoos waiting for you now, you all go down!" ”
"Yes." The palace maids and eunuchs cautiously withdrew from the palace after answering the words tremblingly. In an instant, only Concubine Yue and Du Juan were left in the palace.
Du Juan looked at the moon concubine who was still in front of her, and slowly poured a cup of tea for her: "But those minions made Niangniang angry again?" Concubine Yue took the tea in Du Juan's hand, took a sip and said: "After all, they are just some cheap slaves, and if this palace wants their lives, it is just to move their fingers." ”
When Du Juan heard Concubine Yue say this, his heart was cold, but he still forced a smile on his face and said: "That's natural, the lives of those minions are in your hands, if someone makes Niangniang angry next time, just pull it out and deal with it, Niangniang, don't hurt yourself for these things." ”
When Concubine Yue heard Du Juan say this, a smile immediately appeared on her face: "You little mouth, it's really as sweet as honey, and every word is said in the heart of this palace." ”
A smile also appeared on the cuckoo's face, and the master and servant exchanged pleasantries on the side. Concubine Yue looked out the window, and after making sure that no one was watching, she was no longer vicious and domineering, but asked the cuckoo with a cautious face, "How is it?" Has the news that this palace asked you to inquire about has the result? ”
The cuckoo also removed the smile on her face at this time, and in the face of Concubine Yue's inquiry, she blessed Concubine Yue very respectfully, and then she attached herself and whispered: "Hui Niangniang, you let the slave go out to investigate the relationship between Ning Rongzhi and the crown princess, and after the slave and maid inquired about the medical woman in the Tai Hospital, she found out a little clue." ”
When Concubine Yue heard her say this, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, but then she suppressed the dissatisfaction again, and continued to ask, "What is the result?" ”
Du Juan pondered for a while and said: "The slave maid made the silver buy off several medical girls in the Tai Hospital, and after their mouths, the slave and maid learned that this Ning Rongzhi has a good relationship with the crown princess, and even helped the princess several times openly and secretly. ”
When Concubine Yue heard her say this, her hand covering the teacup paused, but she still said calmly: "And then?" ”
The cuckoo glanced up at Concubine Yue, cautiously glanced around, and then leaned forward and whispered in Concubine Yue's ear and said, "The slave maid has bought off a few palace maids in the East Palace, and has also inquired about something unusual. ”
When Concubine Yue heard Du Juan say this, her eyes lit up, "Oh, what have you heard?" Let's listen to it with Hongu? ”
Du Juan looked at his mother's expression of interest, and said cautiously and cautiously: "The slave maid heard the palace maids in the palace say that Ning Rongzhi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had an ambiguous relationship, and His Royal Highness the Prince's side concubine, because of this matter, she embarrassed this medical girl several times. ”
The crown prince's concubine embarrassed a medical girl in public, which was a very bad thing. But Du Qinyue knew this, but she still bit Ning Rongzhi and didn't let go, which shows that there is a lot of relationship between Ning Rongzhi and His Royal Highness the Prince.
It seems that in this palace, I am afraid that there will be another good show to watch. Thinking so in her heart, on the surface, Concubine Yue still said with a calm look: "If this is the case, what evidence is there?" ”
Du Juan frowned and said, "There is no evidence, but the palace maids in the East Palace all know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes good care of this medical woman." ”
Concubine Yue heard Du Juan say this, and smiled slowly: "Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, the company is that Ning Rongzhi, although he was born from a low background, but he has a lot of appearance, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at a young and vigorous age, so it is normal to behave like this." ”
When the cuckoo heard his mother's words, he covered his lips and smiled. In the palace, the emperor is the most strict in teaching all the princes. His Royal Highness the Prince's behavior, to put it mildly, is young and vigorous, uninhibited
It can be said that to put it more seriously, that is to be obsessed with women, without the demeanor of a prince of a country. However, in this case, you can only talk about it privately. After all, Shen Huogui is the crown prince, if he hears this, I am afraid that they will be punished for the crime of despising all kings.
The master and servant had laughed enough. Concubine Yue picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and listened to Du Juan say: "Niangniang, the slave maid found more than that?" ”
"Oh, then tell me, what else did our Royal Highness the Crown Prince do?" The cuckoo smiled and continued: "And the slave maid just found out on the way back that a few days ago, the prince was punished by the emperor to kneel in front of the imperial study, just because His Royal Highness the prince confronted the emperor in public for the sake of that medical girl. ”
When Concubine Yue heard Du Juan say this, she sat up from the soft couch on the side, stared at Du Juan coldly and said, "When did this happen?" Why doesn't Hongu know? ”
The cuckoo hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Niangniang is angry, a few days ago, Niangniang occasionally felt cold, and the slave maid has been waiting by Niangniang's side, and has never gone out, so she missed this good show." ”
When Concubine Yue heard this, she said with annoyance: "This illness is really not the right time, it is rare to have such a lively drama in the palace, and this palace has missed it due to illness." After Concubine Yue finished speaking, she said like a cuckoo: "So, do you mean to say that the relationship between Ning Rongzhi and the crown prince is ambiguous, but he is good friends with the crown princess?" ”
Is that too unusual? When the cuckoo heard his mother's unbelievable tone, he also felt very helpless in his heart. He is the crown prince's concubine, and when dealing with Ning Rongzhi, a slave who is trying to climb the prince in vain, and doesn't trouble her, that is to give the prince face, how can he take the initiative to befriend Ning Rongzhi?
At this point, the cuckoo was also very puzzled. After sitting carefully on the side and thinking for a while, Concubine Yue's eyes lit up, and she instructed Du Juan: "Du Juan, you go and pack some things, and then send someone to take care of the guards of the cold palace. ”
When Concubine Yue said this, a mocking smile appeared on her face. The cuckoo naturally knew who the "old man" in Concubine Yue's mouth was. So I didn't ask much. Said respectfully: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
After the master and servant dressed up, they sneaked out of the back door of the palace and came to the cold palace together. Due to the pre-check, there are no other people at the gate of the cold palace at this time.
Concubine Yue glanced at the cuckoo and asked, "Have you packed up all your things?" The cuckoo carefully looked through the contents of the basket he was carrying, then nodded seriously, and said, "Don't worry, the slave has prepared everything." ”
Concubine Yue nodded, and then she was supported by the cuckoo and slowly walked towards the cold palace. The cold palace is still as gloomy as ever, and the corners are full of all kinds of weeds, because they have been uninhabited for a long time, and there are no eunuchs and palace maids to clean them, these weeds grow exceptionally luxuriantly.
Under the light of the moon, the shadows are abundant, and it looks particularly scary. Concubine Yue involuntarily quickened her pace, I don't know how many innocent women have died in this cold palace. If it weren't for the agreement between Yu Chuhe, she wouldn't want her to be so gloomy in her life.
Both the master and servant quickened their pace, and after a while, they walked to the place where Chu He lived. At the door, Risin was dressed in a coarse cloth shirt and holding a lantern in her hand, constantly looking into the distance.
When she saw the two concubines not far away, she immediately greeted them happily. "The slave has seen Concubine Yue." Concubine Yue was also relieved to see Li Xin, and then said arrogantly: "Calm down, take me to see your mother." ”
Li Xin blessed her body and said with a smile: "Niangniang, please come with the slave maid." Li Xin led the way again, and said with a smile: "Since my mother knew that Concubine Yue was coming from noon, she bathed and changed her clothes, and waited until now." ”
After Concubine Yue heard this, the expression on her face did not change, and she still said coldly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
When Li Xin heard Concubine Yue say this, the smile on her face became more, and she hurriedly smiled: "What did Niangniang say this, according to the relationship between Niangniang and my mother, this is really a bit different." ”
The two were chatting all the way, and Concubine Yue wanted to use Li Xin's hand to get rid of Chu He, a woman who was too dangerous to herself. But at this time, it is not the time.
They...... There is also cooperation between the two. Li Xin didn't know what Concubine Yue was thinking, and after taking Concubine Yue outside the house where Chu He lived, she first knocked on the door gently, and after hearing the people in the house say to come in, she walked in with Concubine Yue and Du Juan.
