Chapter 138: It's all about concubines
The Lantern Festival has not yet passed, there are many people on the street, and the two-passenger carriage is wide, occupying most of the street, and the two carriages can't let go when they meet face to face.
As soon as the carriage was blocked, no one else could walk, so I couldn't help but complain.
One of the Imperial Forest soldiers stepped forward and said, "The crown prince and concubine are going back to the palace in a hurry, so let me go." ”
The other party's tone was polite, but the request was unreasonable.
Jiang Yunhua has been made a Zhonglang general, a courtier with an official position, and no matter how favored the crown prince and concubine are, she can't let the courtiers make way for her.
Jiang Yunqi lifted the curtain and glanced at the carriage, and said coldly: "This official is also in a hurry. ”
Seeing Jiang Yunxiao's face, the man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My subordinates don't know that this is the chariot of General Zhonglang, please forgive me." ”
Jiang Yunhua has not yet taken up his post, and the Heluan made by the Internal Affairs Office has been delivered, and it is normal for the Imperial Forest Army not to see his identity.
Jiang Yunhua didn't blame him, put down the curtain, and the man immediately raised his hand and motioned to the people behind him to give way.
The carriage did not retreat, and a moment later, a purple-clothed palace lady got out of the carriage.
Gong E came to the carriage and said: "Concubine Niangniang said that it is okay to give way, but there is also a cheap maid in the car of General Zhonglang, if she insults the identity of Concubine Niangniang in the car, please let Zhonglang let her get off the car first." ”
Gong E's tone was quite respectful, but her attitude was very tough, and she had to get out of the carriage before she was willing to give way.
Jiang Yunhua's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the palace: "What if the official doesn't let her go down?" ”
Gong E was personally selected by the prince to serve by the side concubine, she was not afraid, lowered her head and said: "The queen mother has been unwell recently, and she is still waiting for the side concubine to return to the palace to serve, in case the time is missed, the queen mother will be unhappy." ”
This is a disguised Empress Dowager pressing Jiang Yunqi.
Jiang Yunhua glanced at the carriage again, he had never seen this side concubine, he had only heard from other people that her means were quite high, and when he met him, he found that this person was really pampered and arrogant.
Is she really lawless when she is favored by the prince?
Jiang Yunhua sat like a mountain and said casually: "Although she is still a lowly member, she has made a contribution to the suppression of bandits in Oolong Mountain this time, and Your Majesty has rewarded her, doesn't the side concubine Niangniang have any objections to Your Majesty?" ”
This is a bit heavy, Gong E frowned and said: "One yard to one yard, although His Majesty gave her a reward, he did not pardon her and let her leave the country, which cannot change her background." ”
Jiang Yunhua wanted to say something, Hua Rong said softly: "What the side concubine said makes sense, the slave and maid should get out of the car, and the young master doesn't have to quarrel with the side concubine because of the slave and maid." ”
Hua Rong was about to get out of the car after speaking, but his wrist was grabbed by Jiang Yunqi, and he also got up.
Gong E was a little surprised, and reminded Nene: "You only need this maid to get off the car, Zhonglang won't have to ......"
Before Gong E finished speaking, Jiang Yunhua had already gotten out of the car with Hua Rong.
He looked at Gong E sharply: "Don't get out of the way!?" ”
He had already identified himself as no one in the carriage and that they should give way.
After being blocked for so long, a lot of people gathered around to watch the excitement, Gong'e had no choice but to return to the carriage.
When Gong E got into the car, a corner of the Xiangfei-colored curtain was lifted, revealing the small skirt of the side concubine.
The pale cyan skirt is embroidered with a large number of lifelike colorful butterflies, and a soft white slender hand is placed on the knee, which is as beautiful as jade.
The curtain of the car was only lifted for a moment before it fell, and the hand was hidden in it, and it could no longer be seen.
Gong E explained the situation to the people in the carriage, and after a while, the woman's cold and slightly hoarse voice came: "Make way for Zhonglang General!" ”
After three years, Hua Rong can't be sure whether the person in the carriage is Xiao Mingyou based on this sentence alone.
She subconsciously looked at Jiang Yunhua, but Jiang Yunhua's expression was also faint and did not fluctuate.
The two-seater carriage was more difficult to navigate than the single-seater, and it took a long time to get out of the way.
Jiang Yunhua first sent flowers back to the ready-to-wear shop.
Within a day, the rumors that the crown prince's concubine forced the courtiers to get off the bus on the street spread all over the streets and alleys.
Li Xiangling came to the ready-to-wear shop to look for flowers, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "You are so good, you just came back and let that slut fall on your head." ”
Hua Rong was busy taking over the affairs of the shop, and she didn't know what was going on outside, she was a little dazed, so Li Xiangling said those rumors again, and said proudly: "It's already very rude for her to be able to leave the palace, and she even forced Brother Ah Xiao out of the carriage with a shelf, it's just that there is no one in her eyes, and many ministers in the court have played that she is pampered and arrogant, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be very angry." ”
Li Xiangling fantasized that the prince would be able to snub this side concubine after this incident, and Hua Rong directly poured a basin of cold water on her: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be angry." ”
The last time she entered the palace, Huarong found that the prince seemed to hate herself and Jiang Yunxiao, no matter whether this side concubine was Xiao Mingyou or not, she did this to cater to the prince's preferences.
Li Xiangling frowned, very puzzled, Hua Rong didn't explain too much to her, only asked: "Second Miss went to the Wei family to see the side concubine?" ”
Li Xiangling shook his head discouragedly and said: "Her pomp is very big, although she went back to the Wei family, she just asked Wei Mingxuan to talk alone for a while, and did not show up in front of others, I wanted to find an excuse to go to the backyard to see, but the maids and daughters of the Wei family are more difficult than the other, and they can't find a chance at all." ”
Hua Rong was not disappointed with this result, but believed her guess even more.
If it weren't for the fact that there was something special about this side concubine's appearance, why did the Wei family hide it so closely?
Li Xiangling also felt suspicious, and said: "I have already asked people to enter the palace to pass the word to the eldest sister, it is impossible for her to hide from my eldest sister all the time." ”
Imperial Palace, Xixia Palace.
Xiao Mingyou made a pot of tea with her own hands and handed it to the prince.
The prince had just been reprimanded by Emperor Showa in the imperial study, his expression was a little ugly, Xiao Mingyou knelt down after making tea, and said softly and weakly: "It's all because the concubine is not in good health, the concubine heard that the cheap maid came back alive, and she couldn't calm down, causing trouble for His Royal Highness." ”
There was a charcoal fire burning in the house, much warmer than outside, the prince tossed for a long time last night, Xiao Mingyou slept until he just woke up, only wearing a loose jacket, the neckline was not tightened, revealing a small piece of soft white texture, charming and natural.
Xiao Mingyou spoke with hatred, and his hand subconsciously touched his lower abdomen, the prince remembered the pain of losing his son, his eyes sank, he reached out and pulled Xiao Mingyou to his lap, and said in a deep voice: "It's not your fault, rest assured, this palace will not let you suffer in vain." ”
The goal was achieved, Xiao Mingyou changed her tone and said: "After all, she came back after making a meritorious service, and now she is fighting with Jiang Yunhua again, Your Highness should not take risks, the concubine is not easy to stay with His Highness, and she doesn't want any accidents." ”
Xiao Mingyou's eyes were red and tearful as she spoke, pitiful.
In the past three years, the two can only meet secretly, because of the secret stimulation, the prince has not lost interest in Xiao Mingyou, and he can't help but feel sorry for Xiao Mingyou's teaser as soon as he is teased, and then the palace people outside the door come to say: "Your Highness, the side concubine, the princess is here." ”
