Chapter 9 The Second Prince Is Not Dead
Before Ling Zhiqiao sat down, she gave a big salute to the Lu family, "I've seen my uncle." "Even if it is not in vain, Mama Qin taught her the etiquette with a dry mouth, and she is also learning and selling now, so she can't give her mother a share.
Lu Shipi smiled: "It's good to find it, you are two years younger than Qin Xue, just call her sister, she is the only daughter of the general." ”
Lu Shi especially emphasized the 'only', from beginning to end, Xiao Qinxue's face was like frost.
"I've seen my sister." Ling Zhiqiao saluted.
Xiao Qinxue just nodded slightly, looking domineering.
"Qiao'er, in the future, you will be like the old man's biological daughter, if you have any unaccustomed habits in the house, just tell Mama Qin."
"Uncle, Qiao'er is just your relative!" Ling Zhiqiao felt that she had to be a little emotional at the moment.
Seeing that Ling Zhiqiao pear blossom with rain looked extremely weak, Xiao Qian felt distressed: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I have already ordered to go down, and I will tell the outside world that you are the daughter of my outer room, and now you are the daughter of the General's Mansion." ”
"Your mother and daughter should say the same, and you can't reveal the slightest rumor to the outside world." Xiao Qian's voice like a bell sounded like a thousand knives piercing the hearts of the Lu family and daughter.
Mama Qin also wiped her tears, and Ling Zhiqiao peeked at the Lu family's mother and daughter, and really let her try it out.
Xiao Qinxue got up suddenly, her mother didn't straighten it out for so many years, it was because she was a concubine that she had to go to great lengths to please the second prince, and when the second prince died, she had to flatter the queen.
It's good now, a wild girl from an unknown source not only compared her as soon as she appeared, but also came to grab her position.
"Dad, I'm your daughter, she's just born to Aunt Xiao, besides, who knows if she's true or not, it's too easy for you to trust people!"
"Hugh is talking nonsense!" Xiao Qian reprimanded.
"It seems that the old man is spoiled by you."
Seeing that her uncle's face turned red, Ling Zhiqiao interjected: "Sister is too worried, what kind of concubine is not a concubine, as long as my sister can be with her family, she will feel very happy." The old general Xiao Qian, who listened to the words, was very satisfied.
Lu Shi glanced at Xiao Qinxue, stood up and said, "Master, don't be angry with Qinxue, if you want to say that it's not all what the master is used to." ”
"Come on, if you don't eat this meal, it's going to be cold, hurry up and pour wine for the master." After Lu finished speaking, he gave the old man face and avoided everyone's embarrassment.
Ling Zhiqiao's heart was close to her back for a long time, and she paid special attention to the Lu family in her heart, it seemed that it was really not easy to deal with. She tried her best to control her demeanor and not gobble it up, she used to eat a big pot of rice, and she couldn't eat enough if she was slow.
Mama Qin didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, her eyes were full of love, and she vigorously put vegetables on the plate in front of Ling Zhiqiao, and the delicious ones were piled up.
The Lu family's mother and daughter were so surprised by her appearance that they stared, as if Ling Zhiqiao was reincarnated as a starving ghost.
After Ling Zhiqiao was full of wine and food, she couldn't help but burp, Xiao Qinxue immediately took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose: "Uneducated." ”
Ling Zhiqiao also took a handkerchief and wiped her mouth: "Uncle, today is the most delicious table of wine and food I have eaten in my life, forgive Qiao'er for being unreasonable."
Xiao Qian laughed heartily: "Qiao'er, don't care about those red tape, just be happy." ”
"Then I'll accompany my uncle to the backyard for a walk, and you can tell me my mother's story."
"Okay." Xiao Qian was 10,000 willing, so he immediately pulled Ling Zhiqiao out of the main hall, leaving the others behind.
Since she was born, Xiao Qinxue has been like being held by the stars in the General's Mansion, how can she stand such indifference, and she flipped a mouthful of untouched wine and food in front of her to the ground like crazy.
"How can you be so unbreathable, the old man is just the head of the revival after he has lost it, you make such a fuss, but it makes people think that you Xiao Qinxue has no education."
"Since we are going to live in the General's Mansion permanently, let's think about it in the long run."
"If she is really born to Xiao Mengzhi, then Wei Niang has to plan for you, no matter what she says, she can't take the position of the concubine of the General's Mansion.
"Ling'er, send someone in the backyard to keep an eye on me, and then find someone to inquire, didn't you say how many men came in last night? Let's see who brought her into the house. ”
"Yes, ma'am."
The maid Ling'er usually relies on being the young lady's henchman, and she is also used to running rampant in the mansion, of course she doesn't want Ling Zhiqiao to compare her own young lady, in that case, she will not have a good life in the General's Mansion.
Xiao Qinxue also felt that she was a little out of shape just now: "Mother, what you said is very true, but my daughter can't hold her breath." ”
Lu said in a deep voice: "Xiao Mengzhi's daughter born of a weak temperament will not be much stronger. You can first make friends with her and find out the details to see if she really recognizes her relatives or has other plans. ”
"In a few days, the new prince will choose a concubine, and she will not be among the concubines anyway, as long as you have the chance to win, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
"Mother, even if this girl is there, doesn't my daughter need to be afraid of her." Xiao Qinxue said conceitedly.
The Lu family knew very well in her heart that it was naturally not a vain for her daughter Xiao Qinxue to win the title of the first beauty in Kyoto, but now that Ling Zhiqiao appeared, she was really worried.
Of course, the Lu family can't hit his daughter, "It's not that you're afraid of her, but don't have to cause trouble and miss a big thing." ”
Xiao Qinxue nodded: "Don't worry, my daughter remembers." ”
appeased Xiao Qinxue, but the apprehension and uneasiness in Lu's heart were unknown to others.
She returned to her courtyard, called her confidants, and told her to send a message to the queen of the palace today, telling her that Xiao Mengzhi's daughter appeared in the General's Mansion.
Thinking back to more than ten years ago, she was just pulling Xiao Mengzhi as a cover, and she inadvertently discovered the secret of stealing the talisman, and quietly transferred the bag, and people disappeared inexplicably in the palace, and they couldn't see anyone alive or dead.
Over the years, the old man has lost such an important thing but kept silent, and he never seemed to have doubted her. The queen didn't blame her, but told her to report anything unusual at any time.
The queen mother and the old man were so silent, could it be that they were looking for the talisman that Xiao Mengzhi took away.
It's just that now that Xiao Mengzhi and his wife are dead, and a daughter Ling Zhiqiao has appeared out of thin air, it seems that it is impossible to sleep peacefully in the future.
After only a while, the henchman sent to deliver a letter to the queen of the palace returned, and brought back a shocking news.
The second prince Du Yunhan, not only did not die, but also appeared in the court unconsciously, scaring the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty into a mess, and thought that the second prince had deceived the corpse and returned the soul.
When Ling Zhiqiao gave Twilight Yunhan a drawing in the General's Mansion that day, she also stuffed an extra note for him, which drew a secret passage entrance to the palace.
The handwriting on the slip of paper is beautifully written in four big words: 'We don't owe each other'
Without Ling Zhiqiao's secret passage drawings, Mu Yunhan could also enter the palace with a swagger, who would dare to stop the second prince, but then Queen Jiang would definitely have the first opportunity, and threatened him with his mother and concubine.
Although Ling Zhiqiao's four words were written without any affection, they really made Twilight Yunhan feel hot in his heart.
That night, Mu Yunhan left the General's Mansion, followed the secret passage mark, and quietly sneaked into the palace, but the outside of the palace of the mother concubine was guarded by Dongchang people, and he did not act rashly.
Zhuan Er quietly went to His Majesty's palace again, but he didn't see anyone from Dongchang, only a group of imperial doctors were waiting outside the palace, presumably ready to be summoned at any time. Twilight Yunhan thought to herself: "When the court comes by surprise tomorrow, I will naturally see my father and mother, and now I can only be patient."
Twilight Yunhan appeared in front of the court with all beards and tails, and the queen mother was not too surprised.
Nangong Ying, the governor of Dongchang, is the most powerful eagle dog under her, not only did he not kill Du Yunhan, but he was also seriously injured, which shows that this second prince is usually a trick to hide his eyes, and he is raising obscurity in Taoguang.
The crown prince Twilight Yunfei is still slightly happy, but he doesn't show it, he is two years older than Twilight Yunhan, this royal brother is chic by nature, he doesn't like to be strong, there is no mustard between the two brothers, since his father named Twilight Yunhan as the prince, the queen mother no longer let him interact with Twilight Yunhan, every day Tyre is admonished, there is no family affection between the princes.
Over time, the brothers became more and more indifferent, and it was rumored that he died violently, and the crown prince Twilight Yunfei was secretly sad for a while.
The queen mother was behind the bead curtain and cleared her throat: "Don't panic, the ministers, is the second prince a ghost, and I don't know which bastard listened to the nonsense, one to ten, ten to hundred, the second prince, the mourning family really thought you died outside." ”
"It's a pity that after your father renamed Twilight Yunfei as the crown prince, he suddenly relapsed from his old illness and did not wake up. The imperial doctors are also helpless now, and the palace has also issued a notice to reward the famous doctor, so that His Majesty the Emperor can wake up as soon as possible. ”
"Presumably the second prince can understand your father, the country can't be without a king for a day!" The queen's words came prepared, and Twilight Yunhan didn't need to look at it to know that she must have a smug look on her face at this time.
"Erchen was only sick for a few days, and he was rumored to be dead, it's ridiculous, my brother has been made the prince, and the younger brother will be a good shop in the future, and the queen mother should also return to the harem and live for a long time."
There was a small discussion among the courtiers, and the second prince dared to let the queen mother return to the harem in person, which was worth it.
One person from a group of courtiers walked out: "The second prince is wrong!" These days, there are internal and external troubles, if it weren't for the queen's mother, I'm afraid it would have been a mess a long time ago. ”
Who can speak well for the queen at this time, except for the fat and round Prime Minister Jiang Qingyun.
The queen mother is her own daughter, Jiang Qingyun didn't take Duyun Han in her eyes at all, a prince who has lost power is no different from a concubine in a cold palace.
"Oh, Prime Minister Jiang means that it is all the credit of the queen mother, and it seems that the royal brother is also very idle."
Twilight Yunhan's pun, the queen mother immediately paid attention to the crown prince Twilight Yunfei, looking at Twilight Yunfei's clenched fist, the queen mother felt that he was still more tender than the second prince.
We can't let this eye stare provoke the relationship between our mother and son.
