After Yan Jinqiu entered the inner room, he let the irrelevant servants in the room retreat. He didn't know when he developed the habit, he found himself by Hua Xiwan's side, and he didn't need to guard too much.
Maybe it was the other party's lazy habit that infected him?
Seeing him enter the room, Hua Xiwan was too lazy to get up, but just waved at him, motioning him to sit beside her.
Sensing that Hua Xiwan's expression was different, Yan Jinqiu asked, "What happened?"
"Do you remember Minhui County Master?" Hua Xiwan looked directly at Yan Jinqiu, waiting for his reaction.
Yan Jinqiu frowned slightly: "Did she trouble you?"
Hua Xiwan shook her head, then said, "No, when I went to Concubine Shu's palace a few days ago, I overheard Concubine Shu mention her, and I didn't take it seriously. But just now I thought of something suspicious. What, is Princess Minhui really from Princess Duanhe's side?"
He didn't expect Hua Xiwan to have such an idea, Yan Jinqiu was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently: "It doesn't matter which side she is on, now that the prince's lineage has already fallen, her chess piece is no longer important. There is no place to fight. The people behind her are willing to spare her life, not necessarily benevolent, but just don’t want to make the chaotic capital more chaotic.”
Hearing such unkind words, Hua Xiwan smiled complicatedly. She believed that Princess Minhui had some affection for Yan Jinqiu, but the affection was not important enough to make her change her position. And a smart person like Yan Jinqiu must know how much Princess Minhui cares about him, but this little love is not enough to make him feel compassion.
Living in this environment, the royal family who was born high above, I don't know if it is fortunate or unfortunate?
She had already begun to suspect Minhui County Lord, and even had a faint intuition that the prince's poisoning might have something to do with her.
During the time when the prince was released from the prison, the entire Suzaku Palace was surrounded by iron buckets, and the people who served around him even checked the eight generations of his ancestors. Anyone who is a little suspicious should not think about getting close to the prince. body. But in the end, the prince died violently. The only people who could do it could be the prince's lineage and trusted by the queen.
At first, the object of her suspicion was the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess was pregnant at the time, and the former Queen was very concerned about her affairs with the Emperor, so how could she not be on guard against her?
Therefore, the most likely ones to start are Princess Duanhe and Princess Minhui, who are trusted by the queen. It is impossible for Princess Duanhe to kill the prince unless she wants to become a queen. Obviously, this princess, who is only interested in luxury life and face, does not have such courage, so the prince ascends the throne, for her, It is definitely the first choice, how can cousins and younger siblings compare to their own siblings.
Then there is another possibility that the Princess Minhui is capable and motivated.
The more you think about some things, the more you will feel that everyone around you is a hidden master. Hua Xiwan considers herself a lazy person, so she doesn't want to interfere too much. What she guessed has already been told to Yan Jinqiu, as for what he plans to do in the future, it is his business.
Yan Jinqiu naturally understands that Yihua Xiwan's temperament does not like to worry about these things. He poured a cup of tea in front of her with his own hands and said with a smile, "Mrs. Kui Kui is so considerate of her husband, she can't repay her for her husband, so she can only promise her."
"You've already promised me, can you promise me twice?" Hua Xiwan took a sip from the teacup, raised her chin slightly and said, "Could it be that in your heart before, you have nothing to do with me?"
In terms of this kind of sophistry, Yan Jinqiu believed that he was not Hua Xiwan's opponent, so he simply leaned forward, took the person in his arms and kissed her on the cheek: "Since your wife said so, you will do it for your husband. repay you."
The drapery hangs down lightly, covering up the beauty of the room.
In the ear room of the side room, Bai Xia and Hongying sat together doing embroidery work. Hongying glanced at the sky outside the window and whispered, "My lord seems to have been in for more than half an hour."
Bai Xia said without raising his head: "When the prince and concubine want someone to serve you, there will be no shortage of people to serve you. What are you doing?"
"I'm not worried," Hongying sighed, "I heard Concubine Shu say that Princess Minhui seems to be seriously ill, and Princess Minhui's thoughts about the prince are clear to you, Sister Bai Xia. I'm afraid the prince Feeling sympathetic and pitiful for her for a while, it affects the relationship between the prince and the princess."
"You are not smart when you should be smart, and you are not stupid enough when you should be stupid," Bai Xia said in a low voice, "Concubine Shu just mentioned something, that is to remind us princesses that we are girls, only You need to learn to talk less and do more, are these things you should worry about?"
When they entered Concubine Shu's palace that day, they first met Prince Sheng outside, and when they were about to leave, Concubine Shu brought up the matter of Princess Minhui's lingering sickness.
Most of the words of the nobles in the palace cannot be heard on the surface. Princess Minhui is ill, what does it have to do with the princess, why does Concubine Shu mention that? It was just to remind the princess to be careful with Princess Minhui, in case the other party would make small moves.
"This county lord Minhui is true. Why should a dignified county lord care about a married man? Is it possible that he still wants to be the concubine of the palace?" Hongying muttered dissatisfiedly, and there was no one with a title in the whole court. It is really shameful for a royal woman to marry the prince as a side room.
Although the concubine side was called nicely, she was actually just a concubine. Unless you have made great contributions to the royal family, you can't even get into the genealogy.
"What are you thinking," Bai Xia sighed helplessly, "Although the county lord Minhui is out of power now, it is impossible to marry the prince as a side room, unless her family commits a crime and is demoted to a sinner and assigned as a criminal slave. Go to the palace as a servant. Otherwise, even if she is willing to be a concubine, other people will not agree."
The etiquette does not allow it, the Yan family will not allow it, and even the prince himself will not agree.
Bai Xia originally just analyzed it with Hongying like this, but who would have guessed that it came true. On the seventh day after the queen entered the palace, the Yuan family was found to have betrayed officials, betrayed people, killed people, illegally enclosed land, and greed for ink. .
Two days later, Yuan Jiamanmen was demoted to criminals, but in the face of Princess Shunyi, who had died of illness, the emperor spared them the punishment of tattooing, but those who should be distributed are still distributed, those who should be conscripted into the army, and those who should be slaves are slaves. It's handled without any hesitation.
In the emperor's mind, the Yuan family who took Princess Shunyi was with the former queen. The former queen did so many things to deceive him. He was dissatisfied with the Yuan family for a long time, and now he was found to have committed so many things. Will you still be merciful?
Overnight, almost everyone in the family that was originally close to the queen and the Fang family was in danger. They hid at home and did not dare to go out easily, and no one would come out to intercede for the Yuan family.
Yuan Shuyi was originally the master of Minhui County, who was loved by thousands of pets, but now she has to take off her lingerie skirt and put on a coarse cloth. Like other Yuan family women, she is waiting for the arrangement of the provincial government to welcome her future servant life.
Sitting in the humble house, she looked at her skin reddened by the coarse cloth, with infinite regret and unwillingness in her eyes.
The emperor's decree stated that the married daughter of the Yuan family was no longer the Yuan family, so the guilt related to the Yuan family had nothing to do with them. If she married a year ago, how could she end up like this?
If she gets married, with her skill and talent, she will definitely be able to win over her husband's heart and become a lady who is envied by others. How is it like today, when the household registration has been changed to a criminal registration, she still has to do things to serve others?
Glancing at her cousin who was sleeping soundly behind her, she touched the gold bracelet that was secretly hidden at her waist, her eyes shone with light, like someone who fell into the water, grabbing the last piece of driftwood.
Because of the frequent occurrence of major events in the past one or two years, the people in the capital have become more and more calm. The Yuan family, who is still more than a princess, has been convicted. Compared with the previous incidents that caused a storm of gossip, it is simply not worth mentioning.
After all, the Yuan family was considered a prestigious family, so there were quite a few female relatives of the entire Yuan family who were assigned to each clan as servants by the Central Palace.
As a super-quality prince's residence, Xian Wangfu was of course also divided into three "high-quality products", but it was a pity that Mu Tong, the general manager of the palace, felt a little pain in his head after seeing these three "high-quality products".
How did the second lieutenant of the Palace in the Palace use his brain, and how did he divide the Princess Minhui over? Isn't this intentional to cause trouble? He glanced at Yuan Shuyi, who had low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, and said lightly, "In the past, several of them were also daughters of gold, but today is different. When you enter the palace, you must abide by the rules of the palace. Don't mention the past feelings, if you offend the nobles. , our family will be severely punished."
There are very few people in the capital who know that Yuan Shuyi has thoughts about the prince, but this is not a secret that no one knows about. It seems that someone deliberately brought Yuan Shuyi into the palace to discourage others. Although this method is tacky, if it is an ordinary woman, I am afraid that she will really have something to do with the prince.
But their princess... She's really not an ordinary woman.
Thinking of this, Mu Tong gave Yuan Shuyi a pitying look: "Okay, let's talk about it, the three of you will first learn the rules from your mother, and after you have learned the rules, then you can serve the master."
This matter still has to be communicated with the prince and the princess. I also hope that the Princess Minhui will be more interesting, otherwise, I am afraid that the princess will not let her go before the time comes.
"What did you say, Princess Minhui has really arrived at the palace?" Hongying widened her eyes, realizing that her voice was getting louder, and hurriedly lowered her voice to Mutong, "Eunuch Mu, what's going on?"
Mu Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Hongying, this is why I am also wondering, so I came here to ask the princess for instructions. I don't know how to arrange it, then I am Miss Yuan."
"It's unfortunate. The lord and the princess are reading books in the room at the moment. The lord asked us to step back and said that there is no important thing to go to disturb, you see..." Bai Xia looked at Mu Tong apologetically after listening to what happened. , eyes full of trouble.
"Miss Bai Xia is serious, then Yuan Shuyi is just a sinner, why is it worth making a special trip to disturb the purity of the prince and the princess for her," Mu Tong smiled, "It's just that there are other things I have to do, so I will bother Miss Bai Xia about this. Let me pass it on for the next one."
"Eunuch Mu is polite," Bai Xia replied with a gentle smile, "This servant will definitely tell this story, Eunuch Mu walk slowly."
"Thank you." After Mu Tong surrendered to Bai Xia, he turned around and walked away without insisting.
