I don't know if it was because Hua Xiwan was suspicious, or because she had filmed various dog blood and thunder dramas in her previous life, she inexplicably thought of the look when Emperor Qilong passed by her, Princess Xu and the Crown Princess when she entered the palace. She felt that the look at that time was too weird, and now that she thinks back, she feels that the look in that look seems to have other meanings.
As soon as the brain hole opened up, Hua Xiwan was almost taken aback by her own thought, took a few deep breaths, and forced this unreliable thought out of her mind, because this kind of thought was too shocking, Hua Xiwan felt that Seems to be a bit heavy.
In the palace, after listening to Zhao Dong's report, the queen had a strange look on her face. After swaying away the people who were waiting around her, she lowered her voice and said, "Has the imperial physician ever been diagnosed?"
"Niangniang, the fetus in the womb of the Crown Princess has indeed been more than two months old," Zhao Dong glanced at the Queen quickly, and then quickly lowered his head, "The Emperor attaches great importance to His Royal Highness's child, so he has already sent the palace to be very involved in raising the fetus. Experienced maids and female officials even dispatched two imperial physicians to reside in the Prince’s Mansion.”
The expression on the queen's face is uncertain. These days because the prince is in prison, she misses the prince all day. She is so thin that she is almost out of shape, with a thin layer of skin on the cheekbones. Bittersweet indifference: "It's rare for the emperor to worry about these things."
Zhao Dong's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was wrong with what the queen said, but he didn't dare to think about it. Instead, he said with a smile: "It can be seen that the emperor values you and His Royal Highness, otherwise why bother with the little Highness." Speaking of which , a trace of anger appeared on his face, "I just didn't expect Zhang Hou from Dali Temple to be so unprofessional, so tired that His Highness would have to stay in the sky prison for a long time."
The queen looked a little dazed, as if she hadn't heard what Zhao Dong said, and after a long while, she said sullenly: "Have the two geisha affairs been handled?"
"Please don't worry, madam, the matter has already been pushed to the Zhou Mansion, and no one will suspect that His Highness is on the head," Zhao Dong smiled, with a strange smile, "It's a pity that it was not implicated in the Shengjun Prince's Mansion."
"Yan Boyi can't be figured out by you," the queen sneered, "This time it's just a compromise between him and us. He knows that the matter will be dragged on, even if we find out later. It's also bad for his reputation, and we don't want to make it worse for the crown prince. It's just that Zhang Hou is hateful..."
The queen rubbed her forehead anxiously. Every time she made a good move, there would always be an accident. In recent years, things went wrong. She guessed that there must be Yan Boyi's handwriting, so she wanted to kill Yan Boyi. quick.
Zhao Dong didn't dare to say more. He did not do well this time, which would have made the Queen dissatisfied. If he made another blunder, it would be difficult for the Queen not to pick up the plane and attack him. The queen is in a bad mood recently, and the harem doesn't know how many people have suffered, he doesn't want to suffer a crime in vain.
"Okay, let's go down," the queen said, after a few breaths, she sighed again: "Let the people below be careful of the fetus in the womb of the Crown Princess, and you must not let that child have any trouble."
Even if she knew the truth behind it was disgusting and smelly, for the sake of her son and future glory, she could turn a blind eye.
The world of Da Zhao was destined to be her son's possession, and no one could snatch it away.
After Zhao Dong walked out of the main hall, he saw a little eunuch hurried over, and then whispered to him: "The emperor just sent another team of guards to the Prince's Mansion."
The emperor sent so many people down, the Prince's mansion is really going to be turned into a copper wall, and even flies and mosquitoes can't fly in.
He sighed, this is also no way, who makes it difficult for the emperor and the prince to have such children, the prince has a child, and his status is always more stable than before. Even if those old ministers were dissatisfied with the prince, but for the sake of the emperor's grandson, these old ministers would not arbitrarily support other members of the royal family.
Therefore, the top priority now is to let the crown princess give birth to the eldest grandson safely.
"Okay, the miscellaneous family understands," Zhao Dong looked back at the gate of the main hall, the dark gate was like a monster's mouth, which made him a little scared, "The queen is in a bad mood, when you went in to report Be quiet, don't disturb the empress."
The little eunuch didn't expect that he would be able to show his face in front of the empress, and went in with joy, not remembering that the empress was in a bad mood.
Zhao Dong was able to be by the Queen's side for many years. In addition to being loyal and stern, his intuition was very sensitive, so although he didn't know the reason, he just felt that the Queen might not feel happy after hearing the news, so he still didn't touch it. Musty.
Time is like running water, and before you know it, a month has passed, and the case of the assassination of the horse in Linping County has not been found out. Even the people in Beijing have gradually forgotten about this unfortunate county horse. Talking about the unborn grandson and the prince's dizziness, or where King Xian and Princess Xian appear, there are many handsome men and women.
The world always forgets, they are always willing to pay attention to the present, the past, and the irrelevant people who have passed away. In their eyes, at most, it is just a matter of discussion. When the topic becomes bland, no one is willing to mention it again. .
"Yeah, it's snowing," a young maid from Prince Xian's mansion got up in the morning, opened the wooden window and saw snowflakes began to fall outside, and said happily to her roommate, "It seems that there will be another good harvest next year."
"You, don't worry about such a big thing in the world. Don't hurry up and help in the kitchen. I heard that the princess is going back to the Hou's mansion today, so breakfast should be prepared early." Be careful Aunt Wang cleans you up."
Hearing that, the little maid didn't dare to slack off. She hurriedly packed up and ran to the kitchen. Before entering the door, she heard a arrogant voice saying something. She pouted in disdain. Is the mother-in-law a distant relative, and it is not because she entered the inner courtyard to serve her, so she is so rampant.
Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to show too much emotion on her face. How could a little girl like her dare to offend the people in the backyard, go in and say hello to the others in the kitchen, and then start doing things.
After more than half an hour, a maid in a blue satin skirt walked in with a smile on her face, looking very friendly. But no one in the kitchen dared to neglect, even Liu Xiaosan nodded and bowed, and kept calling "Sister Orange Qiu."
Orange Qiuyuan is someone in the palace who is assigned to serve in the main courtyard. He is already a figure that everyone should hold and respect. A few days ago, he was mentioned by the princess as a first-class servant girl. This is a great honor. Who is the whole palace? Seeing it a little rude, I heard that even Director Mu was very polite in front of the princess' four personal maids.
Not long after the little maid came to the kitchen, it was the first time she saw Cheng Qiu. Seeing that everyone in the room was circling around Cheng Qiu, she looked at Cheng Qiu's blue skirt with some envy, and heard that the princess was waiting beside her. People, all dressed like fairies, when I saw them today, it really was like that.
Originally, the neighbors heard that she was working in the palace, and they would give her parents a point on weekdays. Now that she saw Cheng Qiu, she felt that her identity was just to fool the people outside.
"But are you disturbing your work?" Cheng Qiu said with a smile, showing a not-so-obvious dimple on her cheek, "I just happened to have nothing to do, so I came to the dining room to take a look, and by the way, I helped the princess with the meals. ."
Everyone naturally said yes, and while they were swiftly packing up the things that the princess was going to use, they didn't dare to ask Cheng Qiu to carry the vegetable box. Out of the kitchen behind.
"This little girl looks very lucky," Cheng Qiu suddenly pointed at the little girl in the corner and said, "I'm looking at her, new here?"
Liu Xiaosan glanced at the little maid: "Sister Orange Qiu has such bright eyes. Shuanglu, who is in her room, has served in the flower room, so she has filled the vacancy." He didn't want to let the little girl show his face, so he didn't even tell Cheng Qiu his name. .
"Well, I saw how happy she looked," Cheng Qiu nodded. "Let her deliver meals with her." The little maid was overjoyed, took the food box handed over by the kitchen steward, and joined the others. A few maids followed behind this elder sister Cheng Qiu.
When she passed through a beautiful hanging flower door, she knew that it belonged to the inner courtyard.
Behind the hanging flower door, an old woman pleaded with an oil-paper umbrella to cover the fluttering snowflakes for Chengqiu. The little girl looked around and felt that it was not cold at all.
The scenery in the inner courtyard is very beautiful. Although it should be the season of yellow leaves and dry branches, the inner courtyard is still green, and there are some beautiful flowers blooming in the green bushes, which are particularly beautiful with the light snow.
Although the scenery was beautiful, the little maid didn't dare to look at it any more. When she walked outside the Moon Gate, she heard laughter like the sounds of nature coming from inside. When she walked in, she saw several maids in gorgeous clothes picking flowers among the flowers. , The fair and beautiful hands made her unable to help but take a few more glances.
Seeing them come in, the maids in Chinese clothes laughed and talked, but they all took their work, washed their hands in the copper basin brought by the little maid behind them, and led them into the main house door.
As soon as she entered the door, the little maid felt that the room was warm, and the heat made her head a little dizzy. She entered the inner room in a daze, not even seeing what the room was like, but even if she was clear-headed, Don't dare to look at it.
"How can you run such a cold day? Take it to warm your hands."
What a nice voice, the little maid thought in a daze, she never seemed to have heard such a nice voice in her life.
"Thank you, Princess for the reward." She suddenly realized after hearing Sister Chengqiu's smiling voice, no wonder the voice was so good, it turned out to be the Princess. She secretly glanced up slightly, and only saw a skirt embroidered with silver stripes, but it was just a skirt, which made her feel extremely luxurious.
Listening to the orders of the people around, the little maid carefully placed the contents of the food box in her hand. When she was about to retreat, she was pinched by a hand. This hand was beautiful and fair. The moment she was held, she felt that she His hands seemed to be wrapped in the finest silk and satin in the world.
"What a cute little girl, doesn't she look like she's only twelve or thirteen years old?" Hua Xiwan saw that this little girl's face was round, her eyes were big, and she was very cute, so she said, "Zixan, look at this, isn't it? Like your distant relatives?"
Zishan smiled and waited on Hua Xiwan to wash her hands: "The princess has such a good eye, and the servants seem to think it looks like it."
Everyone laughed at her, Hua Xiwan wiped her hands and said, "If that's the case, let's leave your distant relative in the inner courtyard to serve you. It's considered to be taking care of your relatives."
Zishan smiled and said: "That's a big thank you to the princess, sister, thank you for the grace of the princess soon."
Everyone laughed again, making Hua Xiwan eat half a bowl of purple rice porridge. As for the little maid, she really stayed in the inner courtyard to serve, and because of that flattering face, she was named "Qiao Xi" by the princess, which attracted the envy of all the servants in the outer courtyard.
After the irrelevant people in the room had retreated, when Zishan gave Hua Xiwan's hair, she asked with some doubts, "Princess, why did you keep this little girl?"
Picking out a ruby golden step and giving it to Zishan, Hua Xiwan said, "The person in the room with her has some problems. Recently, Mu Tong is afraid that he will be tied up and tortured. It's irrelevant, why should I lose a life because of the involvement of my roommate."
Zishan heard the words suddenly: "Master is kind, this little girl is really lucky."
Hua Xiwan didn't speak, and Bai Xia, who was arranging jewelry beside her, said, "No wonder you let Cheng Qiu go here today, so it's for this little girl."
