17 Chapter XVII

Fu Yan frowned, "You go out." ”

Cui Jiao suddenly felt lost and left dejectedly.

Fu Yan sank into the water, closed her eyes and suppressed her anger, she was just afraid of being bullied by Pei Yingshou, so she said such a thing, she only had him in her heart, if the crown princess could tolerate her, she would definitely stay by his side obediently, if he didn't dismiss, she wouldn't leave.

When he picks out a virtuous and generous princess, he will give her a name, she is the daughter of the Cui family, even if she is a distant relative, she is also from the Cui family, and she is also fostered in the name of the Cui family's long house, and the position of Chenghui or Liangyuan can be given to her, as long as she has an identity, she can stay in his inner curtain justifiably.

As for Pei Yingshou, he sank his face, and after bathing, he went to the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace.

--

Cui Jiao has been thinking about it since she returned to the corridor room, seeing what Fu Yan meant, she must not want to let her go, she has no ability to make Fu Yan like her all the time, there are so many beautiful girls, Fu Yan is the prince, what kind of beauty he wants will be dedicated to him, her little affection is just for him to indulge temporarily, and after a long time, he will get tired.

Cui Jiao thought of Pei Yingshou's arrogance, and unconsciously hugged herself, if she was really decided to be the crown princess, Cui Jiao would have to find a way to run away, now that the Cui family is in Chang'an, she has saved some silver money, she can go back to Qinghe to find her brother, and she doesn't have to wait here.

Nanxing fetched Qingshui into the house, saw that her face was mottled with tears, waited for her to wash her face, and asked, "Why is Zhangshu crying?" ”

Cui Jiao shook her head and asked her suddenly, "Sister, what will happen if you can't live in the East Palace and can't get out?" ”

Nanxing smoothed the broken hair on her head and said, "How can you not go out, the servants will be able to go out in a few years, besides, there is one day off every month in the palace, you can ask someone to bring a letter home, and if the prince is generous, you can also be allowed to leave the palace to visit." ”

Cui Jiao squeezed her hand and said, "I mean, what if you can't get out?" ”

Nanxing thought about it, guessing what she was asking about what she should do if she was in trouble, but she was the secretary and Fu Yan's concubine, she couldn't be allowed by Fu Yan, and she really couldn't enter and leave the palace gate at will, Fu Yan was very good to her, she wanted to eat, Fu Yan would be rewarded, and she didn't have to do too tiring work on weekdays, as long as she accompanied Fu Yan, how could she not go on.

In the past few months, Nanxing has sincerely felt that she is a good girl, and she does not hide anything to say, and said worriedly, "What difficulties did you encounter in Zhangshu?" If the letter of the palm is worthy of the servant, the servant is willing to serve the secretary. ”

Cui Jiao raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said softly, "I heard that Pei Shishi's wife is the future crown princess, I accidentally offended her today, and when His Royal Highness the prince marries her, she will definitely not let me have a good time." ”

Cui Jiao's temperament is the softest, she can play with the female historians, she has never seen her take the initiative to blush with anyone, that Pei Shishi lady is not easy to get along with, maybe it is still Cui Jiao who she is embarrassed by, Cui Jiao is so afraid now, but also to think clearly how miserable Pei Shishi Niangzi will be after she becomes the crown princess.

Nanxing said, "The servant has never seen that lady, but if she is so careful, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not want her to be the crown princess." ”

Cui Jiao blinked, "Really? ”

Nanxing said, "The crown princess is the future queen of Her Royal Highness, if she doesn't have a little energy, how can she be the queen?" Look at how lenient Her Royal Highness is the Queen, there are so many ladies in Her Majesty's harem, and I haven't seen her angry. ”

Cui Jiao shook hands with her, "Sister is saying that she must not be the crown princess, right?" ”

Although Nanxing was not convinced in his heart, in order to comfort her, he still nodded and said, "Don't be afraid, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, she will not hurt you." ”

Cui Jiao tilted her head and asked, "What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care about me?" ”

Nanxing gritted his teeth, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care about you, there are still servants, and the servants will find a way to save you!" ”

Cui Jiao got her words, barely a little at ease, but thought in her heart, she must find a way, not to ask Pei Yingshou to be the princess, there are so many pictures sent by the queen, I don't know if the prince has read it, the prince likes to listen to her say those sweet words, the prince also likes gentle and squeamish girls, she just needs to find a similar girl in that painting, and then find an opportunity to visit the girl's temperament, if the girl is kind-hearted, she can try her best to connect them, stay until it is successful, and confess to the girl that she wants to leave, everything can fall into place.

You have to take a look at Fu Yan's attitude towards Pei Yingshou first, they are cousins and sisters, naturally more intimate than ordinary people, if Fu Yan likes it, she is tossing in vain.

Nanxing saw that her mood was slowly eased, so he helped her take off her clothes, change her bedclothes, and let her sleep.

--

The next day, Cui Jiao woke up, used the morning food, and the family order came to give her Buddha relics.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Penglai Hall last night to find Pei Shishi's wife to come back, Cui Zhangshu must be kept well, don't lose it again."

Cui Jiao hurriedly took it, stood up and whispered thanks.

Jia Ling wanted to sigh, the prince's Buddha relics were given to Cui Jiao, everyone who has seen this thing knows, it was nothing, but somehow, this thing fell into the hands of Pei Yingshou again, the prince didn't care about it, but the prince went to Penglai Hall to ask for it.

It is obvious that in the prince's heart, Pei Yingshou is not as good as Cui Jiao.

Originally, there were rumors in the palace that Pei Yingshou might marry into the East Palace, but now that such a thing happens, the family is worried that the prince's inner palace will be restless in the future.

In the past few months, Cui Jiao has been obedient and does not make trouble, and the family order can also be seen, it is not easy to talk about her, and if you want to blame, you can only blame her for being too likable.

The family order was supposed to leave, but Cui Jiao hurriedly said, "It's cold, and the concubine made some clothes for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

She gave Mu Xiang a look, and Mu Xiang quickly ran to the edge of the basket, and turned out a dark gold thread moire coat and a pair of black leather shoes inside, and wanted to hand it over to the family order.

is really a confidant little lady, she has been in the East Palace for less than half a year, the prince's things are remembered, who would not like her, but no matter how much she likes it, she can't cross the princess, everyone is jealous, the princess doesn't hate the prince, but she may hate her, what good life does she have in the East Palace? Jia Ling has seen too many intrigues in the palace, and she really can't bear to see her end miserably in the future.

"Cui Zhangshu will send it by himself, there are other chores."

After saying that, he went.

Cui Jiao obviously felt that the attitude of the family order had changed slightly, she had expected that these palace officials of the East Palace, no matter how polite they were to her, as long as the crown princess entered the East Palace, they would all face the crown princess, and the crown princess was their master.

Cui Jiao clenched the Buddha relics in her hand, Fu Yan could get it back, which meant that he didn't care about Pei Yingshou, she could just take advantage of the empty clothes to look at those picture scrolls.

--

Chongwen Temple.

Cui Jiao put the clothes in the cupboard, took advantage of Fu Yan's absence at the moment, and began to look through the picture scroll on it, and looked at seven or eight pairs in a row, only to see a gentle-looking and elegant noblewoman, who was Lu Ruyi, the second daughter of the secretary of the dynasty.

Cui Jiaozai carefully remembered her appearance, there were many banquets in the palace, and she didn't worry about not seeing her.

She put the album back on the cabinet and quietly withdrew from the temple.

At dusk on this day, Yuzhu hurriedly ran into the corridor and said to Cui Jiao, "Zhangshu, someone from your family is here, waiting in front of Xuande Gate at this moment, do you want to meet him?" ”

Cui Jiao was suddenly overjoyed, it couldn't be her brother who came to her!

She hurriedly urged Yuzhu to take her to meet someone, and as soon as the two of them left the gate of Yiqiu Palace, Cui Jiao remembered and asked her, "Have you reported this matter to the Xun family?" ”

Yuzhu said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered earlier, only he is in charge of your affairs, and the Xun family orders don't care about you, and there are no rules to let you see your own family." ”

Cui Jiao sighed, her brother is here, the prince can manage her, and then she doesn't worry about her brother's scientific examination, but it's not yet September, and Qiu Yu didn't come, Brother Cheng actually came to Chang'an, it stands to reason that he should stay in Qinghe and come back after Qiu Qiu, but I'm very happy to come, and it's a big deal to take the exam next year.

But when they got out of Xuande Gate, they found that it was not Cui Zhongyong, but Cui Mingxiu.

Cui Mingxiu saw her and immediately greeted her with a smile, "Yaya, it turns out that you are really alive, I thought I was wrong at the polo match yesterday." ”

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.

Cui Jiao put her hand in her sleeve, held the female official's shelf, and said, "What do you think about Cui Sanniang?" ”

Cui Mingxiu gritted his teeth secretly, but he didn't expect that this little slut did not die, but became a palace official of the East Palace.

Cui Mingxiu sneered, "Grandma is very happy to know that you are still alive, when I heard that you met a water thief, A-Niang cried several times, regretting sending you to Chang'an, I don't want you to be a blessing in disguise." ”

Cui Jiao was too lazy to talk to her, "The third lady will go back if she is fine, not everyone can come to the Forbidden Palace, and if she is discovered by His Royal Highness the Prince, even I have to be punished." ”

She wanted to go back, but Cui Mingxiu grabbed her sleeve, "Yaya! Grandma has something to bring to you. ”

Cui Jiao must have seen Yuzhu, Yuzhu consciously retreated, Cui Jiao no longer had a good nature, and stared at Cui Mingxiu, "Where did you drive my brother away?" ”

She used to be a very timid little girl, and in the face of Cui Mingxiu, she didn't dare to speak loudly, but now she can look at her angrily.

Cui Mingxiu wanted to teach her a lesson, and remembered her identity as a female official, so she could only laugh, "We didn't drive your brother away, the gentleman who taught him said that he stole the articles of others in the clan and was caught, and then followed the clan rules to prevent him from entering the clan school again, and he left without face." ”

Cui Jiao sneered, "You Cui Sanniang still have a word of truth in her mouth?" It is clear that you coveted my brother's ancestral "Dream Peep Zhong Kui Ghost Hunting", fabricated a charge of stealing, and expelled my brother from the Cui family, do you dare to admit it? ”

She didn't want to say anything more to her, shook off her hand and was about to leave.

Cui Mingxiu grabbed her in a panic, "Yaya, I heard everything you said to Pei Shishi, as long as she becomes the crown princess, you will wait to die!" ”

Cui Jiao looked surprised, "You actually overheard us?" ”

Cui Mingxiu thought that he had grasped her handle, and said with a smile, "You are now alone in the East Palace, and you are in a difficult situation, why do you want to be angry with us?" As long as you ignore your past suspicions, your grandmother said, and you still recognize you as the daughter of the Cui family, and your brother will also send someone to find you, you are the seventh mother of the Cui family, and with this identity, you don't have to be afraid that Pei Shisi Niang will be ruthless to you, and you can use this identity to gain a foothold next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, and when you are left with the eldest son of the prince, even the crown princess may not be able to compare with you. ”

Cui Jiao asked half-lukewarmly, "What do you want?" ”

Cui Mingxiu approached her, took her hand, and there was a blush on her face, "Grandma said, you are lonely alone in the East Palace, why don't I accompany you, our sisters support each other, why worry about this harem in the future, it is not our Cui family." ”
