Chapter 42: Concubine Rong
A few months ago, when Ye Yutang passed by and left the country, the prince had asked him for help, but at that time, he had important things to do, so he could only leave in a hurry, and he promised that the prince would definitely send someone to leave the country.
The five of them waited in the lobby for a while, and then the prince walked in with the butler.
"You have come all the way, and the palace is grateful. The prince said with his hands in fists, and Bai Yifan and Yun Feng hurriedly returned the salute.
"You may be seated. The prince said and pointed to the seat next to him.
The five people sat down in turn, the maid of the palace brought the best West Lake Longjing, the color is tender and green and smooth, the bottom of the leaf is delicate and delicate, the south smoke and snow tasted a bite, the aroma is fresh and tender, the taste is fresh and sweet.
"I have really encountered a problem for you to come this time, and I would like to ask you to help. ”
"Could it be that there are monsters in the palace?" Nan Yanxue looked at the prince suspiciously.
"I am waiting to come here after being ordered to assist the prince, and please rest assured. Yun Feng said and waved at the prince.
"But I don't know why the prince asked me to wait, is there a monster making trouble?" Yun Feng asked again.
After listening to Yunfeng's words, the prince got up and walked to the door, "This matter is a bit tricky, wait for the old man to think about it carefully and then ask you." ”
As soon as the prince finished speaking, a young woman broke in from the west side of the courtyard, the woman was dressed in a red splendid dress, and she said arrogantly: "That demon girl is extremely hateful, father must not be merciful!"
"Qing'er, don't be presumptuous!" the prince shouted.
The woman listened to the words of the prince and did not restrain herself, she continued to say arrogantly: "If it wasn't for my father who released the demon girl, we wouldn't have today's disaster, I should have killed her in the first place." ”
"Shut up!" the prince shouted again.
The woman didn't say anything more, and a young man walked out of the courtyard on the west side, and the man walked up to the woman and whispered, "Qing'er." ”
The woman rolled her eyes at the man, "It's all because of you that you provoked some indiscriminate people." ”
"Qing'er!" the prince's tone was warm and angry, and the woman saw that the prince was angry, so she left the lobby without looking back.
"The little girl is reckless, which makes everyone laugh. ”
The prince said to the young man, "Go and arrange a few rooms for a few distinguished guests, don't be lazy." ”
"Yes!" the young man replied, turning to leave the lobby.
"It's a bit complicated, so let's rest here for a few days, and I'll tell you about it when I find a suitable opportunity. ”
Nan Yanxue was stunned by the prince's words, he invited them to come, but he didn't tell them what was going on.
The five of them could only live in the palace first, and the housekeeper of the palace found Lang Zhong to diagnose and treat Yunfeng's injuries, and a few people wandered around the city during the day.
About three days later, Concubine Rong in the palace sent someone to the palace, saying that the begonia flowers in the palace were blooming, and asked Mrs. and Miss to go to enjoy the flowers tomorrow.
"What does she want to do!" Li Qing angrily threw down the teacup on the table, and Nan Yanxue could see from her reaction that she had a deep conflict with the woman called Concubine Rong.
On the second day, the prince implored Ye Qingli and Nan Yanxue to go to the palace dressed as maids.
"When you two go, please be sure to observe Concubine Rong carefully!" the prince repeatedly advised.
"Does the prince suspect that Concubine Rong has a problem?" Ye Qingli asked.
"I can't say for sure yet, but a lot of strange things have happened in the palace recently. ”
"Okay, please rest assured, prince!" Ye Qingli replied.
After breakfast, Ye Qingli and Nan Yanxue changed into the clothes of the maids, wrapped in light blue plain clothes, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, the pleats of the skirt are like snow and moonlight, flowing lightly on the ground, making the gait more and more soft, three thousand green silks are scattered, the head is inserted into the butterfly hairpin, a wisp of green silk hangs down on the chest, and the faint red feeling on the cheeks creates a delicate and lovely pure skin like petals, the whole person is like a butterfly flying with the wind, and like a clear and transparent ice and snow.
Yun Feng looked at the two of them in a daze, he had never seen them dressed like this.
"Senior sister, you really look good in this maid dress. Xiao Ziyi said that he was going to touch the clothes on Nan Yanxue's body.
Nan Yanxue turned around and dodged deftly, "What are you doing, men and women don't kiss, don't move your hands and feet." ”
"Yo yo yo, who chased me on Tianyun Mountain. ”
"That's not like you're messing with me. ”
"You have to get it, it's all your reason!"
The lady of the palace looked at the two people playing with a smile, but the county lord looked impatient, although she was dissatisfied with the two, she didn't dare to say anything, these people were all distinguished guests invited by the palace, and they couldn't afford to offend.
"Alright, alright, let's go. ”
The county lord said that he walked out of the palace with his wife, and the two sedan chairs outside the door were already waiting here, the county lord and his wife got into the sedan chair, and Nan Yanxue and Ye Qingli could only follow aside.
"Hmph, you have to be a maid to help. Nan Yanxue originally felt that the clothes on her body were quite special, but when she went out and saw the county lord sitting in a sedan chair, and she could only follow outside the sedan chair, she was instantly dissatisfied in her heart.
However, this dissatisfaction did not last long, and Nan Yanxue was soon shocked by the prosperity of the palace.
Outside the palace gate, there are mighty bronze lions, the roofs of the palaces are paved with golden glazed tiles, shining dazzlingly in the sun, the eaves and pillars are carved with exquisite patterns, the palace interior, the golden luan hall in the middle, the flying pavilion Liudan, the momentum is majestic.
Nan Yanxue had never seen such a magnificent palace, the main hall of their Azure Gate was all blue-gray bricks, and the interior decoration was also very simple, but the seemingly simple hall was not much better than the thatched hut she lived in.
Nan Yanxue walked and watched all the way, and was soon led by the eunuch of the palace to Concubine Rong's Yonghua Palace, she almost laughed out loud when she heard the eunuch's thin voice, she remembered Yunfeng's voice, a very thick voice, completely different from the voice of this eunuch, she thought about it and smiled again recently.
"South smoke and snow. Ye Qingli, who was standing beside her, called her softly, and she found that everyone was kneeling on the ground.
"Get down on your knees. Ye Qingli whispered.
She looked at them suspiciously, and there was a woman in a pink palace dress standing next to the begonia flowers. The wide skirt is elegant and luxurious. The black jade-like green silk is simply rolled into a flying fairy bun, and a few full and round pearls are embellished in the hair at will, making the cloud-like hair more soft and moisturized. The beautiful eyes are full of brilliance, and there is a light smile between the red lips.
"Don't kneel down quickly when you see Niangniang!" A maid beside the woman shouted, Nan Yanxue looked at Ye Qingli who was kneeling on the ground, and then reluctantly half-knelt on the ground.
"Get up, please. ”
"Concubine Xie Rong. After listening to the woman's words, the county lord and his wife got up and stood aside respectfully.
"Madame thinks this flower is blooming well. The woman asked.
"Back to my mother, okay. Madame said with her head bowed.
Nan Yanxue secretly glanced at the county lord, and there was anger in her eyes.
The woman listened to the lady's words, took the scissors, cut off the flower and threw it on the ground.
Nan Yanxue was very puzzled, she didn't understand, the flower was blooming so well, why did she cut her off.
"Why cut it, isn't it very pretty?" Nan Yanxue still couldn't hold back.
The woman did not get angry when she heard her words, she still smiled with the scissors and said: "It blooms too well, other flowers can't absorb nutrients, it affects other flowers, so you can only cut it off, madam, am I right?"
"Yes, sis. The prince and lady agreed in a panic.
"This maid is quite interesting, she is new. The woman turned to look at Nan Yanxue and said.
"Yes, sis. ”
"I heard that there are a few guests from the palace, and these two must be guests of your mansion. ”
"Back to Niangniang, this is just a new maid in the house, and I don't know the rules yet, please forgive me. ”
"If you don't understand the rules, you dare to lead it into the palace, you must have special skills. The woman said and walked in front of Nan Yanxue and Ye Qingli to take a closer look, and at this time, Ye Qingli was also carefully observing Concubine Rong, she tried to find some useful clues from her body.
Concubine Rong and Ye Qingli's eyes met for a moment, and then they turned back to the begonia flower.
"Although this begonia flower is taken care of by so many maids, if I don't let it live, it won't live. Concubine Rong said and knocked down the begonia flowers in front of her, the begonia flower pot fell to the ground, the flower pot shattered, the begonia flowers in the pot rolled to the ground, and the petals were scattered all over the ground.
The prince and his wife were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground, and the county lord had to kneel down.
"Liqing, if you rob someone else's things, you have to pay the price, do you think you can help you by finding a few random people?" Concubine Rong said and cut off a begonia and held it in her hand.
The county lord listened to Concubine Rong's words and wanted to get up, but was quietly pulled by her mother, who shook her head at the county lord and signaled her not to move.
"Today's palace is also lacking, and I will invite my wife to come and enjoy the flowers another day, okay?"
"Good...... Good ......"
"Then please Madame go back first, Xiaohuan, send Madame!" Concubine Rong said and turned to enter the hall.
The prince's wife and the county lord waited for Concubine Rong to enter the palace before they got up and left Yonghua Palace.
Nan Yanxue followed behind, quietly observing everything in this palace, and she found that the women in this palace were all with their heads down and walking hurriedly, and the county lord also walked out quickly in three steps and two steps.
A few people quickly returned to the prince's mansion, and as soon as Li Qing entered the door, he kicked over the flower pots on the ground.
"This demon girl, I won't let her go!"
"Okay, Qing'er, don't talk nonsense!" the princess scolded.
"Mother, look at her arrogant appearance, it is clear that she wants to be the enemy of our palace, and my father must find a way to get rid of her!"
The young man who had appeared in the lobby the day before saw the county lord coming back, so he walked up to her and tried to reach out to her, but the county lord shook off the man's hand at once.
"You still can't let go of that demon girl in your heart!"
"Nope. The man replied briefly.
"If you don't, you should find a way to get rid of her!"
The county lord said and pointed to the man's chest, "You are a general, can't you even do this!"
