Chapter 027: Glory and Favor
"Aunt Qiu, Concubine Shen has been in the palace for a while, she has served the prince for so long, there is no merit and hard work, you say, should I go to see her?" Mu Qingchen held the teacup in his hand, took a sip gently, and said.
"That's what the princess said. Aunt Qiu stood behind Qingchen and replied with her head down, unable to see the look on her face clearly, "According to the rules, the princess should be summoned the day after the princess enters the mansion." ”
"Really? So...... Qingchen first came to Ningyue Kingdom, and she had just married a woman, and she didn't understand many rules, Aunt Qiu, as the personal aunt of the palace, why didn't she remind her at that time?" Mu Qingchen's eyebrows turned slightly, and he looked at Qiu Rong with a smile and asked.
"This ......" Qiu Rong was speechless for a while, a little surprised.
Mu Qingchen has never asked about the world, and he doesn't go out of the door all day long, and he doesn't even ask where Xiao Yi goes, and all the affairs in his hands are handed over to her to take care of, but he doesn't know that Mu Qingchen has always been humble and submissive, why does he speak so sharply?
"Princess, hearing you say this, the slave maid remembered, a few days ago, the prince and the princess were newly married, according to the rules of Ningyue Kingdom, the second day should enter the palace to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, but Aunt Qiu didn't see anyone early in the morning, and I didn't see her wake up, I don't know if it was unintentional or ......deliberate" Jin Yan said a little reluctantly on the side.
Although Jin Yan knew that the princess had a certain reason for handing over many things in the palace to Aunt Qiu, she just couldn't get used to Aunt Qiu's appearance of relying on the old and selling the old, so she said a run.
Qingchen smiled secretly in her heart, although she didn't like Jinyan's impulsive personality, but what she said was quite in line with her heart.
"Okay, the weather has been cold recently, and Concubine Shen is thin, Aunt Qiu, you go and ask Ruoli to make some ginger tea for Concubine Shen. Mu Qingchen commanded, turned his head to Jin Yan and said, "Dress up the palace, the palace is going to the Warm Pavilion." ”
"Yes. Aunt Qiu took the order and left, and Jin Yan was the only one left in the house.
"What's the matter, looking at you like this, do you think what Bengong is doing is inappropriate?" Qingchen asked with a faint smile.
"The princess doesn't blame the slave for being too talkative, so the slave is willing to say. Jin Yan suddenly remembered the lesson Qingchen had taught her last time, and hurriedly lowered her head and said.
"When I robbed Aunt Bai Qiu just now, I didn't see you think you were too talkative. Qingchen tilted his head slightly, looked at himself in the mirror, and spoke again, "Said." ”
"The slave maid thinks that it is better to send ginger tea than to send some things to play with, the princess has been in the palace for many years, is there less such a trick? Jin Yan pondered for a moment, but still spoke.
"It's nice that you can think of that. Qingchen nodded approvingly, but didn't say anything more, only to see Jin Yan finish finishing his work, get up and walk outside.
Jin Yan saw that Qingchen was silent, and she didn't speak again, but she became more and more confused in her heart, since the princess arrived in Ningyue, it was really different from before, not only did she change her words from the delicate in the past, but even she walked with a touch of sassiness.
Mu Qingchen took Jinyan and walked out of the dew and retreated, heading towards the Warm Pavilion.
Knowing that except for Jinyan, the others around her are Xiao Ling's ears, eyes and eyeliner, which are not leaky, and finally there is a Shen Bining who can be used, how can she not seize the opportunity?
Shen Bining is now deeply favored by Xiao Yi, and the constant rewards in the palace can be described as a great honor, but what this favor brings may not be a good thing.
Thinking of this, a touch of coldness flashed at the corner of Qingchen's mouth.
"Qi Qi Shen side concubine, this is the ginger tea sent by the princess to the slave maid, the princess said, the side concubine Niangniang's body is thin, the weather has become colder and colder recently, and the side concubine Niangniang has to take care of herself. As soon as I walked to the door of the Warm Pavilion, I heard Ruo Li's voice from inside.
"The princess has a heart, thank you for me, put it down, I'll drink it later." Shen Bining's delicate voice made people can't help but feel pity.
"Ginger tea is naturally good to drink hot, but when it is cold, it is ineffective. When Qingchen heard this, he walked in slowly and said with a smile.
In addition to Ruo Li, who brought ginger tea in the house, there were also Shen Bining and the two personal maids beside her, Nuan Xia was brought by Shen Bining himself from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Nuan Dong was originally an errand in Yiwangfu.
The people saluted and received permission before returning to their places.
"It is really a sin for a concubine to see the princess and bother the princess to visit in person. Shen Bining saw Qingchen coming, and hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Between you and my sisters, why do you need to be so polite?" Qingchen said, but he didn't mean to help each other at all, and still let Shen Bining finish the salute, which made her get up.
Qingchen sat on the top chair of the Warm Pavilion, looking around, all the furnishings in the room were the latest, it seemed that Xiao Yi had given a lot of good things, plus the rewards from the palace, this Warm Pavilion was even more exquisite and rich than her open house.
"I don't know why the princess is here today?" Shen Bining was a little uneasy by Mu Qingchen's attitude, but he didn't know why Mu Qingchen came.
During this time, Xiao Yi had been spending the night in the Qingnuan Pavilion, and everyone in the palace knew that the news that Princess Tianxing had lost her husband's favor on the second day of her wedding spread far and wide, which made Shen Bining both happy and worried. I haven't seen Mu Qingchen make any moves for many days, thinking that Mu Qingchen didn't dare to act rashly because he first arrived at Ningyue's foundation was not stable, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"I'll bring you ginger tea, what's the matter, I don't like a bowl of ginger tea and refuse to drink it?" Mu Qingchen raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Bining, the look on his face seemed to have a hint of interest.
Shen Bining was shocked in his heart, looking at the ginger tea in Ruo Li's hand, his heart suddenly became nervous.
"Concubine...... How dare you dislike it, the concubine will drink it now. Shen Bining said, took the ginger tea in Ruo Li's hand, and drank it in one gulp, without even pausing for a moment.
Mu Qingchen saw that Shen Bining drank not a drop of ginger tea, so he smiled with satisfaction, got up and said, "I hope this bowl of ginger tea can make Concubine Shen free of illness and disaster." The prince is coming back soon, right? I won't delay Concubine Shen to serve the prince. ”
After speaking, Qingchen walked out, followed by Jin Yan and Ruo Li.
waited until Mu Qingchen's figure completely disappeared, and then Shen Bining ordered the two maids in shock: "What are you doing in a daze?
"Yes. Warm Winter hurriedly answered and left in a hurry.
Mu Qingchen returned to Luluoju for only a stick of incense, and the chief manager of Qin arrived: "Princess Qiyu, Concubine Shen was suddenly poisoned, and the abdominal pain was unbearable, so the princess invited the princess to the Qingnuan Pavilion." ”
"Got it, you go down. Qingchen was unmoved, and even the expression on his face did not change.
Qin Zhong glanced at Qingchen in surprise, but finally didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.
"Princess, the slave maid has long known that this will happen, the princess of that bowl of ginger tea has never touched it from beginning to end, she is so dignified and suddenly poisoned......" Jin Yan couldn't help it for a long time, and as soon as Qin Zhong left, he said so.
"Okay, you go and inquire about how Concubine Shen is. Qingchen opened Jinyan, closed the door, turned around and sat at the table, and said with a light smile, "I've watched the show for so long, it's time to show up." ”
"The landlord really deserves to be the landlord. A figure on the beam jumped down, half-knelt in front of Qingchen, and said, "The subordinate is the owner of the building at night." ”
"Is everything done?" Qingchen asked.
"Please rest assured, the landlord is unaware. Ye Di said, took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, and handed it to Qingchen, "Mingyue's left protector came from the palace, and tomorrow's right protector asked his subordinates to bring it to the landlord." ”
"Got it, you stay in the shadows and don't show up, I'll look for you if necessary. Qingchen took the bamboo tube and nodded.
As soon as the words fell, the figure of the night dead flashed, only to feel a cool breeze blowing through his face, and he disappeared. Seeing this, Qingchen couldn't help but nodded, and Nightfall's light skills had improved a lot.
Take out the paper in the bamboo tube, look at it, a satisfied smile flashed in his eyes, and with force in his hand, the paper suddenly turned into powder and drifted away with the wind, and there was no trace, and then Qingchen buried the bamboo tube into the soil of the flower pot in the room, and then opened the door, and everything returned to its original state.
"Princess, Concubine Shen is said to have been poisoned an hour ago, calculate the time, it's just the time for us to go. Jin Yan ran back from the Warm Pavilion and said to Qingchen.
"Where's Aunt Qiu?" Qingchen asked indiscriminately.
"Princess, Concubine Shen is going to die or live in the Qingnuan Pavilion, and even Nuan Dong beside her said that this matter has nothing to do with you, why do you still have time to care where others go......?
"Well, listen to you, let's go. Qingchen still looked like that light and breeze, and went out again.
Calculate the time, some people should also arrive.
"Princess, who do you think did this?" Jin Yan asked as he followed Mu Qingchen's side.
"Who did it? Before the final result is decided, it is possible for anyone to do this, including me, isn't it?" Qingchen's words were a little confusing, Jin Yan thought about it for a while, but still didn't understand, so he simply didn't want to.
The second time I stepped into the Warm Pavilion, it was only an hour before and after, but the situation was very different.
"The princess is really a big shelf, you have to be urged by the king three times to be able to work the princess!" Xiao Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he protected Shen Bining in his arms and said to Qingchen.
"The prince forgives his sins, but I don't know what the prince is in such a hurry to summon, what is the so-called matter?" Qingchen asked quietly.
"Bining was poisoned, and the doctor diagnosed it an hour ago, and at that time, you came to Qingnuan Pavilion and brought a bowl of ginger tea. Xiao Yi looked at Mu Qingchen, as if he wanted to see something in her eyes.
"Is it??, is the prince suspicious of the concubine?" Mu Qingchen smiled and asked rhetorically.
"Everyone knows who it is. Xiao Yat said.
"The holy decree has arrived-Princess Yi Mu Qingchen, take the decree-" But at this moment, there was a singing like this outside, Mu Qingchen and Xiao Yi glanced at each other, and saw Ran in each other's eyes.
It's finally here......
