Chapter 17: Inquiry
Cheng Zhu was taking the juniors to bow down, when he heard the movement here, he turned his head, and saw that it was Zhaorong, and his face was a little unbearable.
She walked over quickly, and couldn't scold the eldest princess, but scolded Ruan Yuyi, "Bastard thing!" Clumsy and blind for so many years! Don't say that it is the eldest princess's golden body, even the fetus in the womb, and you can't afford to chop it alive! β
There were already many people looking at this side frequently, and she didn't dare to reprimand loudly, so she could only lower her voice and grit her teeth.
Although Ruan Yuyi knew Cheng Zhu's temperament clearly, she also knew that she had always wanted to cling to the powerful and dissatisfied with her background, but in front of her was an elder who had been respected for a long time.
Cheng Zhu's may not be able to see the reason, but such a bottomless partiality and vicious words make her even more chilled.
"Aunt," Ruan Yuyi met her eyes and said softly, "Whether you believe it or not, I have never meant to hurt the eldest princess. β
Cheng Xingqiuyuan saw Zhaorong's pale face, his heart tightened, and he also turned his head to reprimand, but saw Ting standing there, his shoulders were slashed, his waist was like a promise, and his eyebrows were rubbed a little sickly.
Suddenly, I couldn't speak.
He glanced at Ruan Yuyi deeply and said to Cheng Zhu, "Mother, Zhaorong is unwell, I'll take her to the bench outside for a while." β
When Cheng Zhu heard this, he hurriedly said, "Go quickly, take the steps carefully." Your Highness is frightened, I will teach Sister Yi a good lesson. Her brow furrowed so tightly that her eyelids covered most of her eyes, revealing a cloudy glow from them.
Zhaorong nodded slightly.
She grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and she was used to seeing the concubines intrigue for the favor of the emperor, and she was more or less exposed to it, but where could a princess use these methods, so it was inevitable that the means of dealing with a person would be clumsy and unaware.
Cheng Xingqiu walked out of the hall with his arm around her shoulders.
Seeing that the people were gone, Cheng Zhushi turned his face and his tone was slightly relaxed, "I don't care if it's black or white, you just remember to follow some eldest princesses." During this time, you stayed in peace, more than Rui'er got along, and when Qiu'er's family affairs are settled, I will remember your goodness. β
Ruan Yuyi was silent.
"Mother, mother-" Cheng Rui saw his mother's face dark and gloomy, felt her anger, and only dared to pull her sleeves slightly, like this, as if she had something to say.
Cheng Zhu turned around and straightened his somewhat messy hair, "What's wrong with Rui'er, do you want to go out with your brother?"
He shook his head like a rattle, and said with great effort, "No, it's not playing." Mother, don't be angry with Sister Yi'er, I saw it, the booklet was not dropped by Sister Yi'er...... She didn't drop the book......"
"You see what you see." Is it a question of whether you fall or not? She's a stupid son, fortunately she didn't say it in front of the eldest princess, otherwise she wouldn't know how things would have ended.
Cheng Zhushi stretched out his hand and pushed Cheng Rui, he leaned back slightly, and shut up aggrievedly.
She was about to teach Ruan Yuyi on the side again, but she heard someone say leisurely not far away:
"A fool can distinguish things, but Madame is confused, isn't it better than him?"
The man who paced was about thirty or so men, his voice sharpened and sharpened, and his eyes were full of contempt, and he was a little unangry and arrogant.
He glanced at Ruan Yuyi, and when he saw her looking at him, he bowed his head and smiled slightly.
"Who are you," Cheng Zhu was choked up, a little weak-hearted, and wanted to put on the posture of a noble lady, "but to take care of other people's affairs." β
The curvature of the corner of the pheasant's lips remained unchanged, but the bottom of his eyes was indifferent.
It shouldn't have been managed, wasn't this the master who told him to follow this girl. I didn't know what the wife of a little Cong Liupin official had to let him investigate, but when I saw it today, I suddenly realized that it was this rare face.
It's just that I don't know if the master knows that the eldest princess is involved with this girl's husband.
"It doesn't matter if I talk about you or not," he said, his eyes wide open, his tone slow and penetrating, "under the nose of the Buddha, Madame still acts like this, if you provoke that person to be angryβI wonder if you have come to the Holy River Temple without asking for anything?" β
He looked at Cheng Zhu's panic, and couldn't help but look back at the golden-bodied Buddha, "If you don't distinguish between right and wrong, then it is better to gouge out these eyes and feed them to our livestock." β
His eyes were deep, as if he had been stained with human life.
Cheng Zhu knew that the person in front of him was not easy to provoke, his chest rose and fell violently, his lips shook, and he couldn't say a word.
Ruan Yuyi stood on the side, seeing that her aunt was intimidated, but she had no intention of speaking for her. She was still holding her breath in her heart, so she only lowered her eyelashes quietly, and did not see it.
Cheng Zhu really thought that the feminine-looking man in front of him would do such a thing, "You, you dare?" I'm not afraid to report to the official. β
Report to the officer? The whole world is not the king's land, and which official, big or small, is not under the jurisdiction of the master. Wen Pheasant scoffed.
Cheng Zhushi saw the other party laughing, and didn't take her seriously at all, so angry that his lips trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Ruan Yuyi was really afraid that she would be angry, "Auntie, if you are worried about Your Highness, go outside and take a look at the situation." "In the mansion, except for Master Cheng, she is the greatest, when did she suffer such anger.
With a reason, she naturally hurriedly went down the steps, thinking that this was not a loss of face.
Ruan Yuyi watched her walk away, turned around and blessed, "Thank you Gongzi for your help." β
"You're welcome, girl." Wen Pheasant's face was still soft to her.
When Wen Pheasant walked to the backyard of the temple, the rain that had just stopped was pouring down again, and he walked to a side room and knocked twice on the closed door.
"Master."
A deep voice came from inside, "Come in." β
Only then did he dare to push the door, walked in front of Jiang Huaiyang, and bowed.
"How?"
Jiang Huaiyang leaned against the half-open window, the sky was overcast, and only a little light penetrated into the window, illuminating half of his side face, which was the gentle appearance of an ordinary young man, and the other side was hidden in the dark.
"I found out, that girl is the wife of Cheng Xingqiu, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and has been married for nearly two years." He quietly raised his eyelids, and saw that in his master's hand, he seemed to be holding a hairpin.
Jiang Huaiyang played with the hairpin's hand for a moment, his fingertips couldn't help but use some strength, and his eyes dimmed.
She is really good, she obviously has a family, but she still comes out to provoke others.
"Cheng Xingqiu?" He searched his memory, but found that he had no impression of the man.
Wen Pheasant reminded, "It's the champion of Cheng'an for thirty-one years, and you were also present at that palace test." β
Cheng'an is the name of the first emperor's time. Saying this, he suddenly had some impressions, but he remembered that this person's talent was not the most brilliant one, so why was it his turn to win the championship.
Wen Pheasant hesitated, "It's just ......"
"Just what?" His voice was slow and lazy, as if he didn't care much about what he was going to hear next, but in fact, he subconsciously focused his attention on Wen Pheasant's mouth.
"It's just that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess saved it before, and it was that Cheng Xingqiu." Wen Pheasant didn't know whether to tell his master or not, but the master always didn't like them to hide it, so he was ruthless, so he told it.
Indeed, news had already reached his ears, and he knew that this perverse imperial sister had rescued a man, and there was a tendency to get closer to him recently, but at that time he was in a position of power, and he was not interested and had no time to study in detail.
He loosened his fingertips, grasped the top of the hairpin, and tossed the beaded tassel on it, as if playing with its master's black hair, and suddenly his mind remembered her glance back that day under the banyan tree.
Because Ruan Yuyi has already become a relative, according to the etiquette system of Dawu, she can't spread her hair, but when he looks at the appearance of the clouds and the hair without applying the slightest hair oil, he knows that her hair must feel very soft.
Wen Pheasant secretly followed Ruan Yuyi to see everything he saw today, and every time he quietly raised his eyes, he saw that his master's face was a little heavier than the previous one.
finally finished speaking with a frightened heart, but Jiang Huaiyang suddenly commanded:
"Put this hairpin away and put it in my dormitory."
Bedroom? Could it be that the master is for this family woman...... Wen Pheasant restrained his thoughts and didn't dare to speculate more.
