Chapter 352: Returning to the Palace (1)
It's not like this, if the maid in the Queen Mother's palace died at the hands of Zhao Kezhen, the Queen Mother really has no reason to spoil Zhao Kezhen so much. These days, the Queen Mother is like being lost, no matter how big or small, she is all doing it from Zhao Kezhen's position. Just like a few years ago, the Queen Mother pointed out Zhao Kezhen to Rong Zhan to be the princess, and the Queen Mother of the year was very fond of Zhao Kezhen's appearance, family and sentiment.
It's just that...... Zhao Kezhen's later unbearable, has the Queen Mother forgotten it?
"It doesn't make sense, if the person was killed by Concubine Zhao, the Queen Mother should hate her, how can she favor Concubine Zhao?" Mother Zhong rubbed Yuanxi's shoulders while puzzled.
Just thinking about it, Qin Shun came to pass on Rong Zhan's words, Huxin Pavilion should not live for the time being, and asked to move all the things of Zichen Palace back first. Yuan Xi rewarded Qin Shun with fifty taels of silver, and told him to retreat.
"The emperor is also worried about the safety of his master, after all, Huxin Pavilion has just had an accident and is not safe. Zhong's mother said.
"I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in the Lake Heart Pavilion, but it's a pity that there was a scene last night. Yuan Xi pushed away Mother Zhong's hand, supported her waist and stood up: "The chief palace maids of each palace are here, but the one who is missing the queen mother, now in this situation, a fool can guess who the female corpse is, presumably the murderer, now he is frightened." ”
"What does the master mean to find out about this matter?" Mother Zhong stepped forward to help Yuan Xi.
"Check, why don't you check. Killing people in the palace can't help but require enough courage and enough ability, speaking of which, I'm really a little curious, who this capable person is. Yuan Xi looked coldly at a corner and said to Mother Zhong: "I have an intuition that this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Zhao. ”
"If it's really Concubine Zhao who did it, then how should we investigate?" Ling'er put down the bowl and also came up: "I heard that Concubine Zhao is very strict, Concubine Zhao never allows those palace maids and eunuchs to spread any gossip, and once they find out, they will be killed immediately." It's really difficult to start with Heshu Palace. ”
"This Concubine Zhao has really grown a little. Mother Zhong snorted contemptuously.
"What kind of growth, she just listens to Yan'er's words. Yuan Xi sneered: "Yan'er, this girl, is really worthy of Zhao Shangshu's fancy person, she is not obvious and does not leak, and she is really a bit of a Taoist." Over the years, we have been fighting with Zhao Kezhen on the surface, but in fact, we are fighting with this girl. ”
"Don't worry, master, we will clean her up sooner or later!" Ling'er thought of Yan'er and hated her.
"Today is the emperor to pick up Princess Chenxiang back to the palace, the princess was rescued from the palace by the sixth master, and has been hiding in the capital, I must have heard a lot about the things in the capital, we can ask the princess. Zhong's mother said.
It's okay, Chenxiang naturally knows more than Yuan Xi. She has been living in the Wei Mansion, and she can also ask her about the situation of the Wei family. It's just that Chen Xiangsheng is playing, and today is her last day in the people, so she won't let go of this opportunity to play.
"Do you know when Miyaka will come back?" asked Won-hee.
Mother Zhong and Ling'er glanced at each other, and laughed in unison: "This is not accurate. ”
Yuan Xi stroked his lower abdomen and smiled dumbly, yes, when Chenxiang returns to the palace, I really don't know when I will go.
......
The shouting outside the car became more and more noisy, and the coachman stopped his horse and said, "Princess, let's go back quickly." If you go back late, the emperor will blame you. ”
Chen Xiang lifted the sedan curtain and looked out, the car had already arrived in Dongshi, she pouted, and said, "It's all here, what are you talking about? Are you afraid that the imperial brother will blame, aren't you afraid that this princess will blame you?"
The coachman did not dare to say more, and buried his head in his chest.
Chenxiang stepped on the horse, held the maid's hand, slowly landed on the flat ground, and raised a bamboo pheasant tail fan to cover the sun.
"Baoxi, is this it?" said Chenxiang looked into the East Market.
Bao Xi is a girl bought by the Wei Mansion, and she has been following and taking care of Chenxiang these days. The two got along well, and when they returned to the palace this time, Chen Xiang also brought Baoxi with them.
Bao Xi raised his hand to cover the sun and said, "If you go back to the princess, the treasure picking workshop is in front, and you will be there in a corner." ”
Chenxiang turned her face, glanced at the coachman, and said, "You stay here." ”
Bao Xi walked into the East Market with the incense of Chenxiang.
Caizhenfang is the largest shop in the East Market, and the goods sold are different from other stores, specializing in buying some Luo Qi silk, jewelry and jade, the four treasures of the study, antiquities, calligraphy and paintings, etc. The ingenuity of his shopkeeper even brought in some rare treasures from other countries to sell here.
"The one who drove the car didn't calculate, today is the day when the princess returns to the palace, so she will go back empty-handed? Besides, this is the last day outside the palace, why go back so early?"
The folks at the Treasure Shop are bright-eyed, and they only need to look at the clothes of the visitors to know what they can buy. The tea served to the guests is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.
As soon as she saw the Danbi gauze double skirt worn by Chen Xiang, with luxurious jade ornaments on her neck and hair, she knew that she was at least a rich daughter. Looking at the look, she is also a boudoir daughter who does not go out of the door, and she feels novel when she sees everything. It's really easy to extort a sum of money from such a rich lady.
When the guy thought of this, he greeted him with a smile: "Miss, please, our store has newly imported a few pieces of fine Kunlun jade rough stones, which are used for car bracelets, and the car Buddha beads are no better." ”
How can Chen Xiang have the patience to recite Buddhist scriptures? Buddha beads naturally can't arouse her interest.
Seeing that Chen Xiang didn't seem to be interested, the guy led her to the embroidery rack, pointed to a few Shu brocades and said, "Miss, look at this, the pattern of the six-tusked white elephant is the best to buy." ”
The fingertips swept slightly, the tentacles of the material were cold and slippery, and Chen Xiang smiled: "It's not bad, but the tricks are too much*." Turning to look around, he asked, "Is that all?" and what are the new suits?"
The man answered, and quickly took a few of the elegant ones and put them in front of Chenxiang.
Chen Xiang flipped through and nodded: "I want these two horses, and there is still a pattern of Baoxianghua?"
The man rummaged for a while and found a horse of the same color.
Chen Xiang smiled: "This is also tranquil. ”
Chenxiang looked at the silk, just in time for a commotion outside the fang, Chenxiang should be prestige, it turned out to be three or five guards of the city, drunk and rushing, hooking shoulders and backs to frolic.
Seeing that Chen Xiang looked at him in a daze, the guy smiled and said: "Miss don't be surprised, there is a new sweet house in Dongshi City, which sells mellow spirits and the price is low. Not only did it attract those sergeants to eat, but even the talented people in the capital often went to drink and write poems. ”
Chen Xiang came back to her senses, and Fang paid attention to what the man said, so she asked, "The talents are also going?"
The guy scratched his head and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard that even the wealthy businessmen in the capital often visit them." ”
"This can't be the place that Cheng Yong frequents, right?" asked Bao Xi, turning her head.
Bao Xi nodded: "Exactly, the eldest young master often goes to Ganweiju to drink." ”
"How does Ganweiju compare to the upper pavilion?" asked the guy as she turned her head.
The guy was stunned, the upper pavilion is the place where those celebrities and officials often go, and Ganweiju is a place where the people in the countryside eat, this one is in the sky and one underground, how can there be any comparison?
"Miss said with a smile, how can Ganweiju keep up with the pavilion?"
"Then why would Cheng Yong rather go to Ganweiju for a hangover than go to the pavilion to taste tea?"
"This ......" Bao Xi stripped her hair, and stopped talking.
"Huh?" Chen Xiang stared at Bao Xi: "To be honest. ”
"The slave and maid don't know much, but they just heard other people in the house talk about it, saying that the eldest young master is not the same as before. In the past, the eldest young master loved books and paintings, talked about burning incense, and specialized in doing some elegant things. Since the accident in the Lan Mansion, the eldest young master seems to have changed as if he was a different person. Master, you said that there was an accident in the Lan Mansion, what does it have to do with the eldest young master?" Bao Xi saw that the more Chen Xiang listened, the more solemn he became, and he didn't dare to continue, so he said coyly: "Oh, master, this is all what the slave and maid have heard from others, and I don't know if it's true or not." Let's hurry up and buy something, let's go back quickly. ”
Bao Xi took the cake gold from his purse.
The car drove slowly on the way back, and Chen Xiang leaned lightly on the wall of the car, covering her face slightly with a fan feather, quietly thinking about what Bao Xi had just said.
She has worked very hard to do it, why does Cheng Yong still refuse to look at her? When she was in the palace, she didn't even touch the scissors again, for Cheng Yong, she has been diligent in learning to knit female celebrities every day in the past few months.
Chenxiang's hand caressed the satin, and the streamer cloth was very comfortable to touch. She wanted to make a dress for Cheng Yong herself, so that he would be happy.
Will Cheng Yong be happy? She didn't know, she only remembered that Cheng Yong never seemed to have smiled when he was in front of her.
The soft sunset was like a blood-red afterglow, and the halo rushed into the car window. There are heroic guards standing on the tall city wall, and Chen Xiang gently lifts the curtain of the car, and sees rows of tall figures standing solemnly in the afterglow of the setting sun, but sees the evening breeze floating, and the banner hunting is fluttering.
Bao Xi stared at her back for a long time, and laughed in a low voice: "The master is thinking about the eldest young master?"
Chenxiang's fingertips trembled, the curtain fell, and the car was dark. Can't see each other's expressions clearly, she leaned lightly against the wall of the car: "He doesn't seem to like me very much." ”
Bao Xi was silent, this is the truth, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but everyone just doesn't dare to say it.
If Cheng Yong dislikes her and quarrels with her every day, she can bear it, but like Cheng Yong, she says little and leaves, which is really unbearable. Chenxiang looked down at the faint red dots on her fingertips, which were the wounds she had learned from the needle. She has always wanted to be the girl Cheng Yong likes, but she has never been able to figure out what Cheng Yong likes and wants.
"What does he want?" said Miyaka.
Bao Xi stared at her, her mouth tightly closed.
