A Lady’s Tranquility

Chapter 84: Grumpy

Views:

When something is lost and found, it is natural to be happy.

However, the person who returned it was Xiao Shu, which was a little strange, Jiang Xuening was not very used to it. Fortunately, Xiao Shu did not intend to speak to her, and left after returning the sachet.

So she also felt at ease and continued to watch Zhou Baoying and Fang Miao play chess.

This time it's Go.

Fang Miao's hand has already entered the long test, and it will be uncertain for a while.

Zhou Baoying looked bored, so she grabbed the peanut next to her and peeled it. She turned her head to look at Yao Xi and You Yue, and asked curiously, "Did the two sisters also go to enjoy plums?"

Yao Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xiao Shu left, but after hearing Zhou Baoying's question, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, she forced a casual smile and said, "I went too, but I didn't see it for a long time. I spoke with the ladies of the palaces."

Zhou Baoying said "Oh".

She seemed to want to say something, but it happened that Fang Miao fell with a "snack" at this moment, her eyes suddenly averted, and she immediately clapped her hands and laughed: "I knew that sister Fang Miao was going to come down here! Look! I'll eat half of your eyes!"

Fang Miao saw where her fingers landed, and immediately shouted anxiously: "You! How can you get down here? No, no, I haven't thought about it yet, I won't go down here!"

"No regrets, sister!"

Zhou Baoying finally had to win another game, so she was not allowed to regret the chess easily, and the two started fighting on the chessboard.

Yao Xicai went through a lot of danger, only to feel exhausted. He pretended to be okay and watched it for a while in the Liushui Pavilion before saying that he was sleepy and went out.

When You Yue saw this, her eyes flashed and she followed.

When Jiang Xuehui came out of her room, she happened to see the two of them coming back one after the other, and said hello, but maybe it was because she had refuted them in person before, and they didn't look very close. It seemed strangely cold.

At this point she didn't care.

When I returned to the room after dinner, I noticed a scratch on Jiang Xuening's sachet and asked, "What's wrong with this sachet?"

Jiang Xuening glanced down and said, "It probably fell down accidentally, was picked up by Xiao Shu, and it was already like this when it was returned to me, maybe it was scratched somewhere."

The sachets, sweat towels, these things are my daughter's family possessions.

She was used to being out and about, and didn't pay much attention to these little things, but Jiang Xuehui was raised in the back house of a high gate. Hearing this, she frowned slightly and said, "When did you lose it?"

Jiang Xuening's relationship with her was originally not close. If it was not necessary, the two would not speak.

Now Jiang Xuehui took the initiative to ask.

Jiang Xuening knew what she was worried about after thinking about it carefully. After all, if this kind of private thing was in the hands of someone in the palace, and something about men and women was brought up, it would be enough to make a big deal in the eyes of a caring person. .

She didn't answer, she just took off the sachet again and opened it directly.

It still contained dried flowers and fragrant flakes, but nothing else.

It's just that Du Ruofang's breath, which was originally thin, has a faintly refreshing fragrance...

Very faint, but you can still smell it.

Jiang Xuening's heart suddenly froze, and what appeared in his mind was the plum banquet in the palace that he did not go to today. From going out this morning to having dinner in the evening, the places she stayed and passed were only from Yangzhizhai to Fengchen Hall, and the palace roads in the middle. There was absolutely no plum blossom in the middle, not to mention the tiger hoof plum. First to open...

Unless Xiao Shu uses plum fragrance.

But as far as she knew, it wasn't.

Jiang Xuenhui just wanted to ask when it was lost, for fear that someone in the palace would make a fuss about this sachet, but Jiang Xuening frowned after taking off the sachet and smelling it.

She was inevitably worried: "Isn't it?"

Jiang Xuening's eyes were covered with a layer of shadow, and he only looked at the door of Yangzhizhai and the palace road outside the door. He didn't answer. on.

When she reached the door of Deyang Zhizhai, she suddenly remembered something and stopped.

The gates of the palace are all made of wood.

The two doors hadn't closed yet, and round copper rings hung down on either side. But on the door on the left, which was almost the same height as a person's waist, there was a wooden thorn protruding, and a few strands of extremely slender moon-white silk were hung on it.

Jiang Xuening took a closer look and found it.

She gently lifted her fingers to take off the few strands of silk, and then spread out the sachet in her palm. The scratches on the sachet were still fresh, and the background color of the moon white was exactly the same as the thin silk.

Thinking about it again, when she returned from Fengchen Hall to stop fasting, she did hold this door and looked back.

If you think about it, it should have been lost at that time.

At that time, I met You Yue and Yao Xi, but I didn't see anyone else. But this sachet was finally picked up by Xiao Shu, and there was a few plum scents on it...

Jiang Xuehui knew that something was wrong when she saw her posture.

But Jiang Xuening seemed to know what she wanted to say, and only said, "Don't worry about it."

After speaking, he took the sachet and went back to the room.

After experiencing the incident where Yang Zhizhai was raided and framed by others, Jiang Xuening has been much more careful. After all, she is no longer the queen of the previous life, and a little conspiracy by others can trap her in danger.

Is there anything strange about this, let's talk about it for the time being.

What matters is, if there is something wrong, what is involved

A lamp was lit in the room, and the sachet and the thread were placed under the lamp. Jiang Xuening sat in front of the desk and looked at it for a long time.

It's late at night.

Soon, the sound of laughter from the Liushui Pavilion subsided, followed by Fang Miao's farewell to Zhou Baoying. It was probably that the chess game was finally over, and they agreed to continue the fight tomorrow.

At this time, Jiang Xuening thought: instead of thinking and doubting here, it would be better to find Xiao Shu directly tomorrow and ask beforehand. After all, the things that have not been done are the things that have not been done. If others want to frame things, they will inevitably have imperfections and imperfections, and they will definitely reveal flaws and be found out.

Moreover, Xiao Shu is really not confused.

As soon as she made up her mind, she decided to take a shower and rest.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got up, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Knock knock."

Someone knocked on her door lightly, followed by Zhou Baoying's soft and glutinous voice: "Sister Ning, are you asleep? I've finished eating the pastries in my room, do you still have it here?"

Jiang Xuening was startled.

Whether it was in the previous life or this life, the intersection between her and Zhou Baoying was not deep. I vaguely remember that this girl later married King Yanping.

Looking for something to eat at midnight

She stepped forward to open the door and said, "I have some more for you?"

Zhou Baoying had just returned from playing chess with Fang Miao, and stood outside the door a little shyly, as if she was embarrassed to find someone to eat like this, she smiled when she saw Jiang Xuening opening the door for her, jumped to the door, and said, "Thank you, Sister Ning. ."

The cakes in the palace are given as usual.

Zhou Baoying is delicious, and she doesn't listen to her mouth all day long. It's common for her to run out of pastries in her room.

Jiang Xuening was the exact opposite.

After entering the palace, I ate very little, and I was not very satisfied with the current cooks in the palace.

She put all her plates of cakes into the food box and said, "I don't like them either, why don't I bring them all to you?"

Zhou Baoying bit her lip: "Ah, this is not good..."

Having said that, his hand involuntarily reached out towards the food box Jiang Xuening handed over, and clenched it tightly, his eyes were like crescent moons, and he was bubbling with joy.

Good people are fed.

So facing Jiang Xuening, she poured out a bunch of good words: "I know that Sister Ning is good-looking and kind, and it hurts me very much! I also saw the sachet that Sister Xiao picked up for you today. Well, but at that time I was standing on the porch, and Sister Yao Xi and Sister Youyue were at the door. They had already picked them up. I thought they would return it to you, so I didn't go there. Sac, I wondered for a while, but fortunately, Sister Xiao took it out. Really, it would be great if I picked it up, otherwise I wouldn't be eating my sister's cakes for nothing..."

The two eyebrows were locked together, a little worried look.

She spoke softly and waxy, but not very slow, like pouring beans, with a rhythm of her own.

Some words in the past almost made people unable to react.

But when Jiang Xuening realized what she had said, she suddenly raised her head to look at her, she was already slightly startled, and her heart was shocked!

Zhou Baoying seemed to be unaware of this, holding the food box in both hands, looking a little distressed, gritted her teeth as if determined, and said to Jiang Xuening, "That's it! This time I took my sister's cakes, and I'll wait for the next time. When the palace people bring the cakes, I will give half of my share to my sister, and I will never regret it!"

Jiang Xuening: "..."

Zhou Baoying thought she had agreed: "Then it's settled! Thank you sister, I'll go back?"

Jiang Xuening smiled lightly and said, "Go back and rest early."

Zhou Baoying jumped out again and went out, waving at Jiang Xuening: "Sister rest earlier too!"

After he finished speaking, he happily carried the food box to his room, but he didn't hold back halfway, he lifted the lid of the box and took a piece of almond cake from it and stuffed it into his mouth, as if he was greedy.

Jiang Xuening watched her back disappear into the corner of the corridor, then lowered her eyes and slowly closed the door.

The mood was suddenly churning.

Sure enough, it's Yao Xi and You Yue...

However, she had suspected this before, so she was not surprised when she heard about it from Zhou Baoying. What surprised her was that Zhou Baoying sneaked over to talk to her.

It seems inadvertent, but if she didn't notice the strangeness of the matter before, these words were enough to wake her up and make her vigilant.

this little girl...

Jiang Xuening couldn't help but smile. Although he likes to eat and drink, he is a chess idiot who can kill Fang Miao without leaving behind on the chessboard. He is not as stupid as he seems. This kind of cleverness, most people do not have.

When he got up early the next day and went to Fengchen Hall for class, Jiang Xuening looked as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Shu is also normal.

On the other hand, Yao Xi didn't seem to have slept well.

Chen Shuyi also teased her: "This small appearance looks haggard, what do you think about at night? Oh, I forgot, we Yao Xi are different, they are people who have already decided their marriage, of course, think more. ."

If she said that before, Yao Xi would definitely be blushing.

Then there will be a lot of slapstick, the atmosphere is relaxed and happy.

Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Yao Xi's face changed suddenly, and even became very embarrassed. He raised his head and looked directly at Chen Shuyi with a hint of anger.

Chen Shuyi realized it immediately.

The smile on her face stagnated, she stopped laughing, hesitated for a moment and said, "Why, didn't you want to kiss that Zhang Zhe?"

Everyone in the hall knew very well about her and Zhang Zha's marriage. At first they knew that she was going to retire, but for some reason she didn't. They seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Zha after they accidentally met Zhang Zha in the Cining Palace.

A talented man and a girl, although they are not the right match, but if the woman doesn't complain, they can become a good couple.

According to common sense, this marriage is natural.

Even if there is a letter from Zhang Zhe taking the initiative to withdraw from his relatives, no one thinks that it is a problem.

Including Xiao Shu, everyone's eyes turned to Yao Xi.

Yao Xi's fingers on the table tightened.

She only felt that there was malicious exploration and scrutiny hidden in these curious eyes, and there was even a vague expectation of waiting for a good show. She had already read Zhang Zhe's letter of resignation, and she was scolded by her father for making jokes in Fengchen Hall!

I hate it.

What I hate even more is that Zhang Zhe dares to retreat from his own parents!

Where do you put a lady like her in the back

Instead of alleviating the embarrassment in her heart, the concerned eyes of everyone at this moment only made the resentment in her heart worse.

But she never wanted to say this.

Which girl is willing to frankly say that she has been dismissed from her relatives

Yao Xi gritted his teeth and smiled at Chen Shuyi, but he was not polite, and said, "Zhang Zhe doesn't know what's wrong, he comes from a small family, and even if he has a talent, he looks shabby, not to mention asking someone to do the math, he looks like a god. Lone Star's destiny. So after thinking about it, it's okay."

Everyone exclaimed "Ah" in surprise.

Jiang Xuening had personally heard Zhang Zha say that she wanted to withdraw from her relatives. At this moment, when Yao Xi said it, it was as if she had withdrawn from Zhang Zhe's relatives, and she even said that Zhang Zhe was "the solitary god of heaven". Star Fate"!

What is the difference between this and what she discussed with You Yue that day

Her face became slightly cold.

Yao Xi deliberately glanced at her provocatively, and pointedly said: "However, the people I don't like, those from small families are all rushing to ask for it. So I quit my relationship, that one. I can't tell if I can find a good one. Although I may not be able to compare with me, I can't tell if the king of the world has a good eye on mung beans!"

Everyone else was bewildered.

Only Jiang Xuening knew that he was scolding himself, and his chest was agitated for a while. But if she wanted to have an attack, the other party didn't name her name. If she jumped out, it would seem that she really had some unspeakable relationship with Zhang Zhe, and she would be against the Chinese.

Just when the teacher in class arrived, she forcibly suppressed the fire in her chest.

It's just that the more you press, the more anger this anger becomes.

Today's study of books and etiquette, the whole process of her face is not feeling better.

When the gentlemen in the hall saw her wrongly, they thought they were teaching wrong. After knowing that Jiang Xuening had forced past two gentlemen, they could not help but tremble, for fear that they would be the next to suffer, so they did not come to trouble her.

When the get out of class was over, Jiang Xuening was going to leave the hall, and Yao Xi just happened to walk up.

She didn't want it, and Yao Xi didn't want it either.

The two squeezed.

Jiang Xuening got angry, and with a frown, he pushed her directly, and said unceremoniously: "I'm walking in front of you, what are you robbing, are you rushing to reincarnate?"

Yao Xi was also suddenly asked about her marriage by Chen Shuyi today. She remembered the hatred when Zhang Zhe quit her relatives. When she became suspicious, she always felt that this matter had something to do with Jiang Xuening. Forget how unbearable Jiang Xuening himself is, just a little bit.

Pushed by her, she almost stumbled down!

The gentleman in the hall hadn't left yet, and the palace people stood aside, stunned to see this scene, and couldn't believe that someone had such a hot temper, and they had a direct attack in front of everyone's eyes!

Even Yao Xi himself did not think of it.

She was helped by someone before she stopped, but when she reacted, she was furious: "Jiang Xuening, what do you mean!"

Jiang Xuening sneered: "I want to mess with you."

Shen Zhiyi didn't walk that fast, she was still behind, she didn't know what kind of grievances and entanglements the two had before, and she was stunned when she saw this scene.

Others quietly looked at her expression.

Yao Xi wanted to compete with Jiang Xuening, but she looked back at Shen Zhiyi who was watching the progress of the matter, but she withdrew her finger pointing at Jiang Xuening with great fear, and said bitterly, "If you are not a thief, you are not guilty. , of course those who secretly act as villains are outraged."

Jiang Xuening sneered lightly: "You don't have to point at Sang and scold Huai, I advise you to be more restrained, and be a man with your tail tucked in when you are dismissed from your relatives. After all, it's a good fate to get together, and others won't make a fuss about it. But if you die, you have to save face. If you refuse to make people feel better, that person will have 110,000 ways to make things difficult for you. If you dare to go out and talk nonsense, I will dare to make everyone in the capital know what you did to be dismissed from your relatives! "

Retired from relatives!

It turns out that Yao Xi was the one who was dismissed from the relatives

Didn't he say with great confidence that Zhang Zhe quit his marriage in order not to implicate her

Everyone was stunned when they heard Jiang Xuening's words.

Looking at Yao Xi again, his eyes were suddenly subtle, sympathetic, and a little hard to describe.

Yao Xi didn't expect Jiang Xuening to tell this matter in front of everyone so rudely.

Tears fell down in a rush.

After all, the girl's family loves face, and being slapped in the face, of course, is extremely aggrieved.

However, Jiang Xuening finally let out a bad breath. He didn't even bother to look at her. He flicked his sleeves and left directly, heading towards the side hall.

Anyway, she is domineering, and others can say what they like.

It's just that she does what she says and does what she says!

If Yao Xiruo dared to do the shit in the last life to slander and suppress Zhang Zha, she would give up this life and not leave the capital to stir up trouble in this Shura field, and she would fight to the end and make her pay the price!

There was warmth in the side hall, the earth dragon was burned in advance, and even the water for making tea was placed on the stove in advance.

Xie Wei arrived early in the morning.

On the edge of the small food box, a plate of peach sliced cake was placed on the corner of the tea table, but he looked at the light green tea soup in front of him, a little fascinated.

Jiang Xuening pushed open the door and came in, he turned his head and saw it.

It's just that compared to the past, this face is cold and cold, and it seems that he has a grudge against someone.

Xie Wei raised his eyebrows slightly.

He wanted to ask again: Who recruited you again

But when I thought about this question I asked yesterday, I didn't say anything.

Jiang Xuening, however, felt that he was angry, so he walked over and bowed to Xie Wei first. When he got up, he was looking at his expression. There was a quarrel, sir, don't blame me."

Xie Wei: "…"

These two words are used, because they are really angry, and Ning Er never said such things in the past. In other words, to be able to be the word "slut", things must be serious.

He pondered her anger, and she didn't seem to be able to play the piano quietly, so he pointed to the opposite side of him and said, "Sit."

Jiang Xuening walked over and sat down.

Xie Wei looked at her with bitterness and hatred. He sat down and didn't move. He lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and said in a low voice, "Wait for me to pour tea for you?"

The tea was brewed before Jiang Xuening came and poured into the sea of tea.

Jiang Xuening only reacted at this time.

In the past, Xie Wei poured tea for her, which was the etiquette of the tea maker, and she didn't pay attention to it after drinking it only twice. The back of his head was cold because of him, so he quickly picked up the sea of tea and watched Xie Wei put down the teacup. So, he was very obedient to give him a refill first, and then turned around and poured one for himself.

She didn't dare to speak, she took a sip of the tea cup in both hands and took a sip.

Today is the monkey king.

Obviously it is also a royal tribute in the palace, the entrance is smooth, and the cheeks are sweet. After drinking, you can smell a bit with some sweet aroma...

Um, sweet

Is this the taste of monkey kui

Jiang Xuening was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled for a while, and he saw the plate of peach sliced cake next to him.

Same as yesterday.

She was a little disgusted by the taste, and didn't want to taste it a second time.

After taking a look, she took her eyes back and continued to drink tea.

Xie Wei said: "When acting in the palace, restraint is the best, but you are making enemies everywhere, and why are you arguing with others?"

Jiang Xuening mumbled: "I also know that my temperament is not suitable for staying in the palace, but none of you have given me a chance to choose."

With that said, the sweet aroma came again.

She couldn't hold back, and turned to look at the plate of peach cake: It's so unpalatable, but the aroma is so attractive, what's the trouble? The cooks in the palace are just bells and whistles! You have to have the backbone, don't stretch out your hand! Otherwise, if you can't finish eating for a while, you have to bite the bullet and stuff it in front of Xie Wei, it's just too miserable!

Xie Wei raised his eyebrows: "Are you blaming me?"

Jiang Xuening was absent-minded, and did not remember what he just said, subconsciously "ah", and immediately said: "I dare not dare."

Xie Wei's eyes moved to the peach cake.

He had noticed that Jiang Xuening glanced at it more than once, and said, "If you want to eat, take it, no one is holding you."

"No, no, I'm not hungry."

Jiang Xuening immediately shook his head and refused.

Xie Wei: "…"
