Chapter 56: Eavesdropping on the Corner
“……”
Liu Yanxue looked at Liang Ji and then at the queen, even if she was a fool, she could see that the queen intended to match her and Liang Ji, maybe Liang Ji was secretly called by the queen.
"Since the third prince is here, the courtiers will not delay the queen mother and the chatting with His Royal Highness the third prince, and the courtiers will retreat first." Since Liang Ji came, Liu Yanxue directly found a reasonable excuse to retreat, and before the queen could say anything to stay, she directly strode out of the palace where the queen was.
"Why did she just leave?" The queen looked at Liu Yanxue's back a little helplessly, and then lowered her head and looked at the box of customized skin care products that Liu Yanxue brought her, "How is the shampoo used, Bengong didn't hear it clearly just now, and just wanted her to talk to me again, she left." ”
"The use of shampoo, the slave and maid heard clearly." Seeing that the queen was sincerely anxious, the personal palace maid whispered.
"You go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make a decree." The queen had the heart to continue to please Liu Yanxue, so even if she was dumped by Liu Yanxue, she was only displeased for a moment, and then told the palace maid beside her, "It is said that the fourth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is virtuous and wise, and the palace likes it very much, and I will give a pair of jade unicorns as a reward." ”
"Yes." The palace maid obeyed the earth and blessed the body, and then went down to draw up the decree.
When Liu Yanxue left the Prime Minister's Mansion to go to the palace, Liu Mengling was paying attention.
When Liu Yanxue came back, Liu Mengling sent someone to keep an eye on Liu Yanxue's movements, and told her as soon as she did, no matter what she did.
It's a pity that after Liu Yanxue returned to the courtyard, she closed the door of the study and didn't know what she was doing inside.
"Liu Yanxue doesn't have anyone around me." Looking at the maids kneeling in front of her, Liu Mengling frowned gloomily, "It looks like we have to find a way to buy one or two maids in Liu Yanxue's yard to see if we can figure out Liu Yanxue's daily movements." ”
Before Liu Mengling could think carefully about the plan, she was interrupted by the maid who rushed in: "Miss, Yizhi is here in the palace!" ”
"Yizhi?" Liu Mengling immediately stood up excitedly, thinking that Yi Zhi was for her.
Seeing Liu Mengling's excited expression, the maid hurriedly knelt on the ground in fear, and kowtowed several times in a row: "...... Yi Zhi is for the fourth lady. ”
As soon as the words "Fourth Miss" came out, Liu Mengling's originally ruddy complexion suddenly turned gray again, her palms were clenched into fists tightly, and her long nails were almost embedded in the flesh.
"What did the queen mother write to Liu Yanxue's edict?" Although she knew that the queen must have rewarded and praised Liu Yanxue, Liu Mengling still looked at the maid without giving up.
The maid pursed her lips in embarrassment, and struggled for a long time in Liu Mengling's gaze as if she was about to kill before she stammered and picked out the content of Yizhi: "The queen said that the fourth miss was smart and clever, which made her like it very much, so she rewarded a pair of jade unicorns to the fourth miss." ”
"Jade Qilin?" Liu Mengling gritted her teeth.
In fact, the price of the jade unicorn is not high, but in the house of the eunuch, there is an unknown rule, if you particularly like the junior, you will reward the other party jade unicorn, reward one is to appreciate you, and reward two is not only to appreciate you, but also want you to be my family.
Seeing the queen's undisguised love and appreciation for Liu Yanxue, I'm afraid she wholeheartedly wants Liu Yanxue to be the third princess, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Mengling felt more and more urgent about the situation.
She tentatively went out, planning to go around Liu Yanxue's yard.
But as soon as she reached the vicinity of the courtyard, she heard a few maids whispering.
"Why did the eldest prince come to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"The eldest prince is here? How did I not know? ”
"He hasn't been here for a long time, so you don't know." One of the maids looked at the other with some amusement, "And the eldest prince came, only said a few words to the master, and then went to find the fourth miss, the foot is very fast, I haven't had time to tell the news to the fourth miss, she has already arrived." ”
"What is the eldest prince doing when he comes to find the fourth lady?"
The maids only knew that the third prince Liang Ji and the third lady Liu Mengling and the fourth lady Liu Yanxue of the Prime Minister's Mansion had emotional entanglements and different disputes, but they thought that the eldest prince and the young ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion were strangers, and at most they chatted when they met unexpectedly, and it was impossible to have too much contact.
As a result, now that the eldest prince came to Liu Yanxue......
"Could it be that the eldest prince also has a crush on the fourth lady?" One of the maids carefully said the guess in her heart, and then, as if she was afraid that she was wrong, she didn't forget to add, "I'll just say it casually." ”
"I think it's very likely." To her surprise, a few maids next to her did not deny her, but nodded along with her, "Although the eldest prince has a princess, it is said that she has a very poor relationship with the princess, so I can't say that one day I will demote the princess to a side concubine, and then let the fourth lady be the princess, isn't it a matter of course?" ”
Liu Mengling wanted to continue to listen to their gossip, but she accidentally stepped on a branch, and the sound of the branch breaking woke up the maids.
Realizing that they were arguing about the royal family, they all dispersed in panic and went about their own work.
And Liu Mengling still remembered the content of the maids' chat, thinking of the eldest prince, she bit her lip, leaned against the wall and walked to the gate of the courtyard, and sure enough, she heard the laughter of the eldest prince.
"Sister Liu is really interesting, this prince has never seen such a smart and clever woman as you." As soon as she put her ear on the wall, she heard the rainbow fart slapped by the eldest prince on Liu Yanxue.
"The eldest prince praised it falsely, I just thought about it more, but in fact, I can't compare to those who are really smart." Liu Yanxue modestly rejected the good words of the eldest prince, "The eldest prince is a well-known talent in Kyoto, and the courtiers can only be said to be the class with an axe in front of the eldest prince, so let the eldest prince have fun." ”
"You're self-aware." Liu Mengling muttered disdainfully, feeling that Liu Yanxue's humble words were extremely accurate.
It's a pity that Liu Mengling thinks that Liu Yanxue is stupid and stupid like a pig, but the eldest prince doesn't think so.
He almost immediately refuted Liu Yanxue's words, and then said a long list of beautiful words, wishing to praise Liu Yanxue as a unique fairy in the world.
Liu Mengling waited for a while before the two of them got down to business.
"Your Royal Highness, the courtiers have configured a set of skin care products according to your requirements, but they haven't had time to pack them well, the box is a little simple, you see......" Liu Yanxue said hesitantly, "Why don't you wait for the courtiers to get the packaging ready, and then send the skin care products to the door?" ”
"It doesn't matter." The eldest prince really said he didn't mind, "Isn't it just the packaging?" Anyway, this prince has to be disassembled and used when he gets it, and there is not much difference between packaging and non-packaging. ”
"Bring the skin care products, this prince will go back and try them first, if you have any ideas, how about chatting with Sister Liu?" There was a bit of deliberate gentleness and teasing in the words of the eldest prince, probably because the eldest prince's voice was deeper than Liang Ji's, Liu Mengling eavesdropped, and felt that her cheeks were slightly hot.
However, Liu Yanxue was not picked up by the voice of the eldest prince at all, she answered, and then returned to the room and took out a box: "Your Highness, I wrote down the use of skin care products and precautions on paper and put them here." ”
She reached out and clicked on the mezzanine where the manual was placed: "If the eldest prince still doesn't understand something, you can send someone to ask me." ”
"Okay." The eldest prince reached out and picked up the manual, and when he saw the beautiful and wild small characters on it, his eyes lit up suddenly, "Sister Liu, is this the word you wrote?" ”
"Yes." Liu Yanxue nodded, looking at the eldest prince with some confusion, "Is there any problem?" ”
The eldest prince thought that Liu Yanxue's business talent and unparalleled beauty were already her biggest advantages, but now he stared at the handwriting on the paper and felt that Liu Yanxue in front of him was like a treasure mountain: "This prince didn't expect that Sister Liu's words would be so good-looking, I have been practicing calligraphy for decades since I was a child, and I don't dare to say that I can write as beautiful as Sister Liu." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince has humbled himself." Liu Yanxue smiled, casually changed the topic to skin care products, and then sent away the eldest prince who still wanted to talk to Liu Yanxue a few more words semi-forcedly.
Liu Mengling was standing at the door, thinking about how good Liu Yanxue's words could be, so much so that even the eldest prince, who had received elite education since childhood, sighed to himself.
Could it be that the eldest prince's lover is out of Xi Shi's eyes?
Thinking of this, Liu Mengling subconsciously shook her head.
Just when she was puzzled, the courtyard door was suddenly opened, and the figure of the eldest prince appeared in front of her.
"Why are you there?" Seeing a woman standing quietly outside the door, the eldest prince was taken aback, and after he reacted, he found that it was actually Liu Mengling at the door.
The eldest prince naturally knew that Liu Yanxue and Liu Mengling's sisters had always had a discordant relationship, so he twisted his eyebrows curiously and looked at Liu Mengling: "You came to the gate of Sister Liu's courtyard, what's the matter?" ”
Looking at the suspicious gaze of the eldest prince, Liu Mengling smiled awkwardly: "The courtier girl came to find the fourth sister for something, and she happened to have just arrived at the gate of the courtyard. ”
Without waiting for the eldest prince to continue to ask, Liu Mengling hurriedly asked: "His Royal Highness the prince came down to find the fourth sister, but what is the matter?" ”
The eldest prince has a bright and righteous reason, so his face has not changed at all, and he calmly said the reason: "This prince came to Miss Liu Si to customize skin care products. ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Mengling to react, he directly turned around and pushed the courtyard door open, and shouted inside: "Sister Liu, your third sister is looking for you." ”
Liu Yanxue hadn't returned to the study yet, so she heard the words of the eldest prince clearly.
"Liu Mengling?" Liu Yanxue, who had already turned around, frowned suspiciously, walked directly to the gate of the courtyard, and sure enough, she saw Liu Mengling standing in front of the eldest prince solemnly, "What are you looking for me for?" Want to get beaten? ”
