After Xia Concubine left the study, she went straight to Lanyue Palace, Du Qinyue was sitting lazily on the couch and letting the palace maid trim her nails, and her other hand was boringly caressing the embroidery on her clothes.

"Recently, the relationship between the second prince and you has become much closer."

Du Qinyue opened her mouth first to break the calm scene, and asked as if she didn't care, and when Xia Concubine raised her head, she saw that Du Qinyue was still acting like Fang Cai, as if the words she heard were just her own hallucinations.

However, after seeing Xiu'er's eyes, Xia Concubine didn't think it was an illusion, and replied: "Because the concubine has been sending pastries to the study these days, the relationship with the second prince is indeed much closer than before." ”

After hearing this, Du Qinyue thought for a while, and then asked, "You said earlier that you will not have any objection to what the palace tells you to do, I wonder if it is still like this now?" ”

Xia Concubine thought that Du Qinyue had some doubts about herself, and hurriedly said: "Naturally, yes, I don't know what Concubine Shu Niangniang commanded?" ”

"Come forward."

After stepping forward and listening to Du Qinyue's words, Xia Concubine couldn't help but take a step back, feeling chills all over her body.

Du Qinyue didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what she just said, she raised her hand and looked at the nails that the palace maid had just repaired, and nodded with satisfaction.

The palace maid on the side was very eye-catching, and when she saw that the tea in Du Qinyue's cup was a little cold, she stepped forward and replaced it with a hot one.

Du Qinyue glanced at the hot tea in front of her, and said to Xia Concubine, "This palace gives you time to think about it," Xia Concubine felt that it was not so simple when she heard this, so she raised her head, only to see Du Qinyue stretching out her hand and pointing to the teacup, and continued: "This is the new hot tea added by the palace maid, before the tea becomes cold, this palace wants an answer." ”

Xia Concubine shuddered when she saw Du Qinyue's eyes, gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and said: "The concubine will naturally do her best to what Concubine Niangniang said, but I don't know where this thing comes from, there must be something in the hospital, but it is not a simple matter to bring it out." ”

"Naturally, you can't use too hospitals, otherwise it will be too easy to find."

Du Qinyue saw that Xia Concubine was relieved, so she picked up the tea in front of her and shook it gently in her hand, looking at the layers of waves in the teacup, Du Qinyue reminded: "The day when the people in the imperial dining room go out to work and buy is coming." ”

Xia Concubine suddenly realized, but then made another difficulty, and said: "Just tomorrow, but the concubine can't do anything in the people in the imperial dining room, if you can arrange people in, the rest of the things will naturally be easy, but the people in the imperial dining room don't know if they will give the concubine face." ”

"You don't have to worry about this matter, you go back later and pick a smarter one in the courtyard, if your home is not far from the capital, but it doesn't matter if it's a palace maid or a eunuch, the rest of the things are arranged by the palace."

The most difficult problem has been solved, and Xia Concubine naturally has no room to shirk, so she said: "Then the concubine will go back to find someone first, and let him come over later." ”

In fact, after listening to Du Qinyue's words, Xia Concubine had a candidate in her heart, and that person could be regarded as her confidant, because she often asked the other party to do things on weekdays, so the other party's affairs were more or less understood, but she didn't take that person with her when she went out today, otherwise she would just ask him to stay now.

After going back, the man was already waiting at the door with the other palace people in the courtyard, and Xia Concubine instructed: "You go to the palace of Concubine Shu, she has something to tell you." ”

After listening to Xia Concubine's words, the eunuch's expression remained unmoved, and said, "Yes, the slave will go." ”

I don't know how Du Qinyue arranged it, and on the second day, the man left with the people who left the palace in the imperial dining room.

After leaving the palace, the people in the imperial dining room were divided into several groups and went in different directions, and the other two eunuchs who were with that person were Du Qinyue's people, so naturally there was no need to deliberately make excuses, and the other two went to buy the things in the task, and the person went to the pharmacy that had already inquired about it.

"Shopkeeper, can there be a mandala in the shop?"

The old man who was settling accounts at the counter shook his hand, looked up and asked, "What do you want this thing to do?" We run a pharmacy, but we don't do that harmful thing. ”

The man said with some helplessness on his face: "I don't want to buy this, but the elders in the family have eaten this mandala powder by mistake out of nowhere, and now they can't quit no matter what. ”

The shopkeeper poked someone's sad place, so naturally it was not good to continue asking, so he took out a pack of mandala from the cabinet and handed it to the man.

But after the man gave the money and walked away, the shopkeeper suddenly reacted and said to himself: "If you are addicted to eating mandala by mistake, it is not difficult to control the method, and ordinary doctors know it, but how can this person say such a strange method?" ”

After saying that, the shopkeeper shook his head again, let those doctors do this thing of curing diseases and prescribing prescriptions, they are just taking medicine according to the prescription, and they are not very proficient in medical science, maybe where did this come from, people are willing to give it to their own parents, what can they outsiders say?

After the man went out, he wanted to go to the agreed place to find the other two people, but when he passed through an intersection, there was an argument ahead, and a carriage carrying goods passed by the corner and brought down a small grocery stall, and the stall owner reluctantly asked the other party to compensate.

"What about the six people in my family, they rely on me to sell these small things to make a living, and now most of the things on my stall have been destroyed, how can you make my family survive?"

The owner of the goods was obviously not here, and the person who was driving seemed to be just a housekeeper, and he said with some indecision: "If you wait a while, my master will come later, and we can't make up our minds about this matter." ”

"What do you say, you don't look like you are dressed like a person from a small family, why can't you even afford this little thing, and you have to cause trouble for your master."

Rao is the housekeeper is very cultivated, and now his face is already very ugly, it was originally the wrong position of the stall owner, blocking the corner, why is he still talking like this nonsense.

Although the people around him also felt that the stall owner was wrong, more people sympathized with the weak, and after listening to the stall owner's words, they urged one after another: "Yes, seeing that you don't look like people who have no money, let's compensate others first, after all, the family is waiting to feed." ”

"Could it be that rich people are like this, and they don't have to pay for hitting other people's things?"

The housekeeper was afraid that his master would be ridiculed by these people when he came, so he had to take out some of his monthly money and compensate the stall owner.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the goods scattered on the ground by the housekeeper are worth much more than the stall owner's things, and it is true that the stall owner does not know what to say, and he is not afraid of seriously offending a powerful person, and he will not even be able to set up a small stall in the future.

The man shook his head, mocking himself for when he had become fond of watching and busy, and hurriedly walked to the agreed place.

The housekeeper suddenly saw the man's back, and was a little surprised and wanted to catch up, but remembered that the goods here had not been packed yet, and he had to give up chasing the man for the time being.

When they arrived at the agreed place, the other two eunuchs had already bought almost all the things they needed, and the man helped to load the purchased things onto the frame.

When the people in the imperial dining room went out of the palace to buy, they walked not through the gate but through a small door on the side, and the examination was naturally not so careful.

Xia Concubine was a little surprised to see that the man came back so soon, and asked, "Did what you did out of the palace go well?" ”

The man took out the mandala in his arms, and said in a flat tone: "With the arrangement of the lady concubine, naturally there are no accidents." ”

Originally, Xia Concubine wanted to go to Lanyue Palace and tell Du Qinyue about this, but after thinking about it, with Du Qinyue's methods, she might have known earlier than herself, so she gave up the idea in her heart.

Although the mandala was scattered, Xia Concubine was a little hesitant to add this thing to Shen Xuan's snacks, because in just a few days of getting along, she felt that Shen Xuan was a child with a good heart.

The palace maid beside her saw the abnormality of Xia Concubine, and asked with the idea of sharing her master's worries: "The master is worried about how to add mandala to the snack?" ”

This palace maid is Xia Concubine's confidant, she is very sure that no matter what the reason is, this palace maid will not take refuge in others, so naturally there is nothing to hide, so she said: "It is said that three years old looks old, and now the second prince is three years old, in my opinion, this future will be a Ming Jun, but I am in the current situation ......"

The words were unclear, but the palace maid on the side heard what Xia Concubine meant, and sent the other two palace maids who were packing up their things outside, and the palace maid said: "Master, if you are worried about ruining this generation of Ming Jun, you can cultivate another one in the future." ”

Xia Concubine was a little surprised by what this palace maid said, although she knew that there was no one else in the room, she still subconsciously lowered her voice and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Master, it is a fact that the eldest prince deliberately framed the second prince, if the emperor knows, he will determine that the eldest prince is misbehaving, if the second prince is scattered because of the mandala, there will only be one third prince left, and the biological mother of the third prince is now just a concubine, which is equivalent to the master, and the master is getting the holy favor, but she is lingering in the sickbed, which wins and who loses, it is clear at a glance."

Xia Concubine had never had this thought, but when she heard what the palace maid said, she was a little moved for a while, and then shook her head: "I will definitely do this mandala thing according to Concubine Shu's arrangement, but not for the child in my womb." ”

The palace maid was a little puzzled, and Xia Concubine said: "Since I have joined the camp of Concubine Shu, if I don't let her see my sincerity, it will naturally not work, Concubine Shu's mind is unfathomable, and she must not be underestimated." ”
