Chapter 88: Buying Flowers
He Qingxiao saw the ridicule on Xin Yu's lips and paused.
Xin Yu took a sip of tea.
The tea was a little cold, but she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart: "So, is the harem full today?" ”
Touching the other party's helpless and helpless eyes, Xin Yu's heart sank, and he calmed down: "Cough, I am also a woman, I was a little angry when I heard it." Let's go on. ”
"The specific situation is actually difficult to know, but I heard that in the winter of the third year of Xingyuan, the queen mother saw the eldest prince's mother and son, and thus found the daughters who were placed in Yiyuan today. Not long after, the queen quietly left the palace with a few cronies and never returned. Supposedly—"
"What do you say?" Xin Yu secretly clenched his fists, trying his best to remain calm on his face.
"It is said that the queen mother was pregnant when she left the palace."
He Qingxiao thought of Aunt Gui's anger and pity when she talked about this.
The queen's departure shocked the government and the opposition, and in those years, many people secretly laughed at the queen's thoughts, and he heard this kind of discussion when he was still young, until time slowly smoothed everything out.
"Because of the departure of the queen's mother, over the years, he has been quite cold to the eldest prince's mother and son, and it was not until the eldest prince was crowned King Xiu that his mother was named an concubine."
"So the second prince Qing Wang is more valued?" Hearing that the reason why the eldest prince was snubbed was related to his mother's family, Xin Yu didn't feel that that person had a deep affection for his mother's family.
It's just looking for an outlet.
Is the mother and mother leaving because of the eldest prince, mother and son? Obviously because that person violated the covenant of the white head and broke his promise.
"The second prince is only a few months younger than the eldest prince, and the harem has been taken care of by his mother Concubine Shufei all these years."
Originally, these words should not be said, but He Qingxiao had a hunch, If she didn't remind her more, the girl in front of her would dare to do anything: "King Qing acted a little casually because everything went well, Miss Kou tried to avoid him." ”
Xin Yu nodded slightly, and asked in a curious tone: "What is the attitude towards the departure of the queen mother?" ”
He Qingxiao looked at her deeply.
Xin Yu smiled: "Some curious......"
"In the years when the queen mother just left, she had searched for it on a large scale, and there was no obvious search for it all these years."
Xin Yu leaned forward slightly, not missing a trace of expression from the person opposite: "Secretly still pay attention, right?" ”
He Qingxiao took a sip of tea from the teacup, and silently widened the distance between the two: "The Jinlin Guards stationed in various places will pay attention, but there has been no trace of the queen mother for many years, so it should be regarded as a marginal task." As for today's attitude, the king's heart is unpredictable, and it is not something He can speculate. ”
In other words, it is unknown whether the queen will make up for the debt or be annoyed that she will leave without saying goodbye.
Xin Yu raised the teacup: "Thank you, Lord He, for telling me this." ”
The meaning of serving tea to send guests, He Qingxiao naturally understood.
Xin Yu sent He Qingxiao out of the bookstore.
The sun is just right outside, there are little ladies selling chrysanthemums with bamboo baskets, and there are also hawkers who are carrying flat poles and shouting needles and threads.
He Qingxiao stopped on the side of the road, and the words that were pressed in his heart still came out: "Miss Kou, is there anything special about Guchang Bofu?" ”
Xin Yu was stunned for a moment.
On the grounds that King Qing and Gu Changbo's son took the initiative to come to the bookstore, did it still arouse He Qingxiao's suspicion?
This man is a little too suspicious.
He Qingxiao's next words made Xin Yu understand the reason: "If Miss Kou is wandering, you can go to the lake or the street shop, there is no good scenery in Guchangbo's Mansion." ”
Xin Yu's eyes couldn't help but widen.
Tracked again!
As if guessing what Xin Yu was thinking, He Qingxiao coughed lightly and explained: "Recently, there was a case that was related to Guchang Bo Mansion, and I accidentally noticed Miss Kou. ”
Xinyu was silent.
Here in He Qingxiao, it always seems that things don't go well.
Her silence made He Qingxiao look for the answer, and said softly: "Miss Kou, no matter what you are for, in short, your own safety is the most important thing. ”
With that, he strode into the crowd.
Pedestrians came and went on the street, and soon the vermilion figure disappeared.
Xin Yu pursed her lips and stood in place for a long time.
"Does my sister buy flowers?" A crisp female voice came.
Xin Yu came back to her senses and looked at the girl who lifted the bamboo basket.
The bamboo basket was filled with autumn chrysanthemums, red, pink, purple, and yellow......
"The newly picked autumn chrysanthemums, whether they are used to insert bottles or make chrysanthemum cakes, do you want to buy a few sisters?"
"Oh, good." Xin Yu thought that he was not in the mood to fiddle with flowers and plants, but looking at the basket of colorful flowers, the ghost almost nodded.
She directly bought a basket of chrysanthemums and carried them back to the bookstore.
Liu Zhou saw the owner come in with a basket of flowers, and blurted out: "Lord He gave you a basket of flowers, this flower is really beautiful." ”
A whole basket of them!
Xin Yu handed over the flower basket with an expressionless face: "I bought it." Pick out some beautiful bottles and put them in the study hall and reception room, and I will take the rest back to the East Courtyard. ”
"Ah, yes." Liu Zhou wanted to slap himself in the mouth, so he took the flower basket ash and ran away.
Waiting for Xin Yu to carry half a basket of chrysanthemums back to the east courtyard, the shopkeeper Hu grabbed Liu Zhou's ear: "Rabbit cub, if you are poor in the future, you will go to the printing house to carry wood." ”
"It hurts, it hurts, let go of the shopkeeper!" The young man rubbed his ears, very aggrieved, "Who would have thought that the ...... would go out together"
He didn't give money for a copy of "Painted Skin" for nothing, and he actually asked the owner to pay for flowers by himself!
He Qingxiao, who was walking on the street, also met a flower seller.
"Does Childe buy flowers? You can insert bottles, hairpins, and give ...... to friends."
He Qingxiao, who rarely spends money outside, looked at the chrysanthemum and took out the copper plate.
"Sell flowers, fresh chrysanthemums-" The flower seller walked away with the flower basket.
He Qingxiao looked at the chrysanthemum in his hand, it was not good to bring it back to the yamen, so he simply returned to the Hou Mansion.
Seeing He Qingxiao who came back with chrysanthemums, Aunt Gui was shocked: "Master Hou, why did you come back at this time?" ”
"I bought a few chrysanthemums, and I brought them back when I had nowhere to put them, so I asked Aunt Gui to find a vase to arrange the flowers."
Aunt Gui took the chrysanthemum and looked at the child she had seen since she was a child.
This kid must be enlightened!
Which girl is it?
Knowing that she couldn't ask, Aunt Gui hugged the chrysanthemum and left in a trance.
On the first day of September, Xin Yu had to go back to Shaoqing's Mansion to deal with it, and it was time for the prince who left the palace to enter the palace to ask for peace.
King Kyung and King Xiu met at the gate of the palace.
Compared with the radiant King Qing, King Xiu's whole person is much quieter, and the environment that has been neglected since childhood has dyed his eyebrows a little deeper.
"Big brother, what a coincidence." King Qing said hello casually.
"Second brother."
The two brothers didn't talk any more and went to the Qianqing Palace together.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xiu and His Royal Highness King Qing have come down."
Emperor Xingyuan raised his eyelids slightly: "Let them in." ”
Soon the two teenagers walked in and saluted in unison: "Please father, Emperor An." ”
"No courtesy." Emperor Xingyuan's faint voice came.
King Qing straightened up, smiled and was about to say something, when he was stunned for a moment at the face of Emperor Shangxingyuan.
Looking at the comments, I was a little confused, and what the hostess said to Yuzu above was that her father changed his mind after becoming a rich man, and secretly raised the outer room, and when he was discovered, the children were there. It is equivalent to not being able to be a couple after becoming the emperor, because there have been no children and secretly raising concubines. I never mentioned that the emperor had a wife and concubine! Empress Xin is his wife, and the emperor was still a poor boy when the two got married, but the troubled times made heroes step by step to become the emperor, and it is not that Empress Xin wanted to cultivate an emperor husband at the beginning.
