Chapter 17: No Cover-up

The disturbances outside have nothing to do with Huang Ye, after she returned from Zhilan Palace, she took the time to send porcelain dolls and velvet flowers to Que Caidie and Pei Qianqiao, and began to live her own little life behind closed doors.

Que Caidie was slightly stunned when she received something, and she and Pei Qianqiao counted together to hand the sign to the palace.

Concubine Rou didn't expect Que Caidie to take the initiative to enter the palace, and thought that she was coming for the sixth prince, not to mention how enthusiastic she was, so she specially ordered someone to make a delicate palace reception, and asked someone to call the sixth prince over.

Pei Qianqiao came to Chengxi Palace with Que Caidie for the first time, and when she saw this battle, she was amazed in her heart, and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect Concubine Rou to be so good to you, and sure enough, my niece is different." ”

Que Caidie is also a little inexplicable.

When Ji Ming came in, he said hello to Concubine Rou.

Concubine Rou hurriedly said: "You young people talk, and the mother concubine will go around the garden." ”

Concubine Rou hurried to the garden with Lily, and her brisk steps couldn't help but make people look sideways.

Ji Ming's eyes dimmed and looked at Que Caidie and Pei Qianqiao.

Que Caidie hurriedly said: "Cousin, we entered the palace to find Princess Qingyang, I heard that Princess Lingyue fell ill when she went back after eating something at Princess Qingyang's side yesterday, and we were a little worried." ”

"I see." Ji Ming's face softened a lot, "Since you have specially entered the palace, it seems that the palace is stingy if you don't take you there, let's go." ”

The two women looked at each other and smiled, and followed Ji Ming.

Concubine Rou proudly blew the cold wind in the garden, and boasted to Lily: "Look at it! This palace has long said that the sixth prince is so good-looking, and what woman can not be moved? Caidie is good at everything, but she is too reserved, and men sometimes like women who take the initiative. ”

Lily was stunned, accustomed to the occasional astonishing remarks from her master.

While the two were talking, they saw Ji Ming walking through the garden with the second daughter.

Concubine Rou's face changed, and she hurriedly shouted, "Where are you going?" ”

Ji Ming approached with them, "Mother, Cousin and Miss Pei want to go to Princess Qingyang, and Erchen will take them over." ”

Concubine Rou's expression was a little cracked, "You entered the palace to find Princess Qingyang?" ”

Que Caidie was busy making up, "Caidie is mainly here to greet my aunt, and my cousin wants to see Princess Qingyang, so we are together." ”

"Huh." Concubine Rou didn't believe what they said at all, she let out a long sigh of relief, and waved her hand, "Go, go, go." ”

"Yes!"

After the three of them left, the garden fell into a brief dead silence.

Lily asked dryly, "Niangniang, the cold wind blows too much and gives me a headache, should we go back?" ”

Concubine Rou shook her spirit, raised her feet with a black face and walked towards Chengxi Palace.

Inside the Jade Fei Palace.

Huang Ye lazily lay on the soft couch and read a book.

Ji Ming took Que Caidie and Pei Qianqiao into the door, coughed lightly, and said, "Guests are here." ”

Que Caidie and Pei Qianqiao looked at each other, and their faces were shocked.

Huang Ye stood up, and his eyes immediately lit up when he saw the visitor, "Why are you here?" ”

Ji Ming smiled: "I brought you your guest, go first." ”

"It's better to go, don't send it!" Huang Ye excitedly stepped forward and pulled Que Caidie and Pei Qianqiao, ignoring Ji Ming at all.

Ji Ming touched his nose and walked away.

Que Caidie forcibly suppressed the unrest in her heart and asked in a low voice, "The princess is very familiar with her cousin?" ”

Huang Ye nodded, "It's okay!" From Chen Guo to Yan Guo, he took good care of me all the way, and he was a friend. ”

She needs someone in the Yan Palace, otherwise some things can't even be lied, Ji Ming is the most trustworthy person, she has no choice, besides, it was that guy who exposed their unusual relationship first, she just pushed the boat with the flow.

Que Caidie and Pei Qianqiao glanced at each other and understood it in their hearts.

Pei Qianqiao put the box he brought into the palace on the table, and said with a smile: "I received your gift, I like it very much, this is for you I gave you, open it and take a look." ”

Huang Ye opened it and found that there were some bottles and cans inside, all of which were rouge gouache and the like used by women, and the three of them got together and studied it for a long time.

Pei Qianqiao pouted and said, "If only you were outside the palace, I can come to study these things with you every day." ”

She didn't expect Princess Qingyang to have the same love as her, and it seems that she has quite a lot of experience, and she now likes this princess Chen Guolai more and more.

Huang Ye sighed and shook his head, "It's a pity, I can't get out!" ”

Pei Qianqiao asked worriedly, "Does the king blame you for Princess Yue's illness?" ”

Que Caidie looked over.

Huang Ye shook his head, "The king didn't say a word, and I think it's quite strange." ”

Pei Qianqiao bit her lip and said, "Everyone is saying that the king wants to accept you as a concubine, but is it true?" ”

Huang Ye was surprised, "Do you believe what the people say?" At the beginning, the king promised me in front of the envoys of Chen Guo that I could make my own decisions about my marriage, do you think I would choose King Yan? ”

The two shook their heads in unison.

It's not that I can't think about it, who would let the young and handsome prince not choose to choose the old King Yan of Longzhong.

"That's it! Now that Chen is still a victorious country, I am the princess of Chen Guo, and King Yan can't beat himself up when he boasts about Haikou, this alone is impossible, and I don't know where those rumors came from! Huang Ye scoffed at this.

Que Caidie asked again, "Then do you want to marry my cousin?" ”

Huang Ye was a little stunned, "Ji Ming? ”

Que Caidie nodded, "When I was a child, I got along with my cousin, and I haven't seen him so casual with any woman, including me, although my aunt wants me to marry my cousin, but I really don't have that mind, if you have this idea, you must tell your cousin, be fast!" ”

Huang Ye asked a question mark in his head, "Regardless of whether I have this mind or not, why are you so anxious about me?" ”

"I" Que Caidie lowered her eyes and twisted her handkerchief, "I'm afraid that my aunt will really set my marriage with my cousin." ”

"Huh?" Pei Qianqiao looked at Que Caidie in astonishment, "You don't like the sixth prince!" Then I was still before."

Knowing that this was the case, she didn't drag Que Caidie forward that day, but fortunately she didn't say anything about the mandarin duck score, Pei Qianqiao was afraid for a while.

Que Caidie blushed, bit her lip, tears rolled in her eyes, "Everyone wants me to marry my cousin, my aunt is like this, my father and mother are like this, including my brothers all think so, I."

Pei Qianqiao patted Que Caidie's shoulder sympathetically, "We are from such a background, we have enjoyed the fine clothes and food, so we naturally have to take responsibility, fortunately, your marriage has not been decided yet, the sixth prince has no intention of you, and there is still room for turnaround, but I am curious about who you want to marry?" ”

A flush flew on Que Caidie's cheeks, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Amber come in and report: "Princess, Princess Lingyue is here." ”

Que Caidie and Pei Qianqiao frowned in unison.

Princess Lingyue recovered from a serious illness, her little face was pale, and there was no silver frost around her, and she was replaced by two old grandmothers with faces.
