Never had another maid...
Both Yunshang and Qianyin had a bad look on their faces. If there is no maid in the palace, where did that maid yesterday come from, and how did she slip through the gate and enter the new house
"Boss, please bring over the person who was originally arranged to bring food to the new house yesterday." Yun Shang said with a sullen face, could it be that the medicine to induce labor was put in her food? However, what the steady woman said clearly was that the fragrance on her body was different. Moreover, if it is true that someone tampered with the food, the food has already been eaten, and the dishes and chopsticks may have been cleaned long ago, and there is no way to investigate.
The manager quickly responded and ordered.
Not long after the messenger left, King Jing came back. Yun Chang saw him wearing a strong suit, which made his figure tall and straight, and there was still a little sweat on his forehead, as if a string had been gently plucked in his heart. .
As soon as King Jing entered the door, he found that the faces of the people in the room were a bit unwell. King Jing glanced at Yun Shang and saw that she was pale and standing there without moving. She didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, so he turned his eyes on the butler. .
The steward quickly explained the matter, and Prince Jing frowned slightly, his face gradually turned cold, "Let the hidden guards in the yard go and get twenty boards first."
The housekeeper responded.
Yun Shang frowned slightly, "The matter has not been investigated clearly, and I will be punished..."
Before he could speak, Prince Jing shook his head, "No matter what the reason is, if they let a stranger approach the new house, they would be negligent. If the maid had put other things in it, wouldn't the consequences be serious? Other things It can be forgiven, and this matter must not be forgiven lightly."
Yun Chang opened her mouth, but finally fell silent. Firstly, this was his business. People belong to him, so he has the right to punish him. Second, this matter is indeed serious. If something really happened to the concubine, , she is really hard to imagine.
After King Jing gave the order, he didn't get entangled in this matter, "I'll go wash up first." After saying that, he went into the inner room.
The housekeeper went to order the punishment. Yunshang was thinking about something, but someone pulled his sleeves suddenly. Yunshang turned to look at Qianyin, but saw her looking in the direction of the inner room treacherously, "Princess, lord Go wash up, shouldn't you follow behind to serve?"
When Yun Shang heard this, her expression froze slightly. She had been married in her previous life, so she naturally knew that she should go in and serve. However, she was a little hesitant. This marriage between her and Prince Jing...
Seeing that Yun Shang suddenly became dazed, Qianyin couldn't help being impatient, stomped her feet lightly and said, "Princess, although you are a princess, but now you are the concubine of the prince, if only slaves and elder sister Qin Yi know That's all, if others find out, I'm afraid it will be bad for Wangfei's reputation."
Seeing her anxious appearance, Yun Chang couldn't help smiling slightly, although she didn't respond, she turned around and walked towards the inner room, after a moment of hesitation, she entered the clean room.
King Jing turned his back to Yunshang, and was putting on his clothes. The underclothes were not completely put on, revealing his wheat-colored shoulders. , she had already seen Prince Jing's upper body, but still had to admit that Prince Jing was really a stunner.
Sensing someone coming in, King Jing turned his head and saw that it was Yun Chang, he was slightly stunned, turned his head and put on the clothes leisurely, then went to the shelf where the basin was placed, took a handkerchief and wet it, Wiped his face, "But something is wrong?"
Yun Shang bit her lip, thought for a while, and then asked, "Can the emperor allow Shang'er's hidden guards to enter the yard to report to Shang'er?"
King Jing wrung out the handkerchief, turned his head to look at Yunshang, looked up and down for a while, "Are you feeling better?"
"Okay, okay." Yunshang nodded again and again, "Besides, whether it's sick or injured, moderate exercise is also good."
Prince Jing pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, but before you fully recover, at most half an hour a day."
Yun Chang's eyes widened in astonishment. He thought that King Jing had agreed when he heard King Jing's answer, but he didn't expect that there were conditions attached.
Youyou sighed, looking at Prince Jing's expressionless face, Yun Chang had no choice but to accept it silently, forget it, half an hour is better than nothing.
After Prince Jing finished washing, Yun Chang went out with Prince Jing. When the housekeeper saw the two of them coming out, he quickly greeted them, "My lord, the servant who delivered meals to her yesterday disappeared."
"Missing?" Yunshang and King Jing asked in unison, Yunshang sighed, she guessed the result early in the morning, since the other party had the ability to send people to Prince Jing's mansion, it would be impossible to destroy a witness But it's a breeze.
"Check." Prince Jing said coldly, his complexion getting worse.
The manager wiped his sweat, and hurriedly responded and retreated.
"Let's go to the palace to have a look first, you were worried all night last night." Prince Jing turned around and said to Yun Shang.
It was obviously a bland sentence, but Yun Chang couldn't help but blushed a little, and nodded, "Alright, I just entered the palace to greet my father and mother."
King Jing ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and the two entered the palace together.
Concubine Jin has indeed woken up. Although her complexion is still a little pale, she should be in good spirits. Yesterday, the Wen Po invited by Prince Jing was taking care of her. Yun Chang looked around and did not see Emperor Ning. The figure frowned slightly, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.
"How does the mother feel? Is it okay?" Yun Chang asked softly.
Concubine Jin smiled softly and nodded, took Yun Shang's hand and asked softly, "It's nothing, did you scare Chang'er yesterday?"
Hearing what Concubine Jin said, Yunshang couldn't help the tip of her nose sore, but she was afraid that Concubine Jin would be worried, so she tried her best to control her emotions, shook her head and said, "No, it was because Chang'er was not good yesterday. I violated other people's ways, causing my concubine to suffer."
Concubine Jin knew that she was blaming herself, so she patted her hand and said, "Silly boy, Concubine Mother is now a living rake that everyone in the palace wants to get rid of. Everyone wants to shoot in the dark, and it has nothing to do with Shang'er." of."
Concubine Jin raised her eyes to look at Prince Jing who had been standing not far away, and said with a smile, "Did Chang'er cause trouble for Prince Jing?"
"Shang'er is fine." Prince Jing said softly, although his voice was soft, but it was very concise.
Although concise, it was enough for Concubine An Jin's heart. Concubine Jin looked at the two with a smile and nodded secretly, "That's good."
"Mother and concubine want to come back to Fengxing Palace to recuperate?" Yun Chang asked softly.
Concubine Jin nodded, with a sour smile on the corner of her mouth, "This palace seems to be very unsuitable for me now, it's better to come to Fengcheng, don't worry so much, after two days, the fetal image will be more stable, I will Then set off and return to Fengcheng."
"Alright." Yunshang said softly, taking advantage of the time when Concubine Jin came back to Fengcheng, she decided to pull out those people in the imperial city who threatened the concubine mother one by one.
The two mother and daughter chatted for a while, Concubine Jin became a little tired, and Yun Chang couldn't stay longer, so she asked Qin Yi to take care of her, and then left Qiwu Palace.
In the main hall of Qiwu, the queen heard the return from the palace servants, threw the quilt on the ground angrily, and said sharply, "Good job! I don't even think about who raised her. Now that I have found my mother, I will go to the palace to let her go." No matter how you ignore it, when you get to Qiwu Palace, you don’t know how to ask for peace, there is no respect.”
There was another woman in a palace dress in Tsing Yi sitting in the room. She let the tea in the teacup splash on her skirt without avoiding it, but she just picked up the brocade handkerchief and wiped her mouth lightly, then sighed, "Concubine Jin The empress just happened yesterday, so the princess should be worried."
The empress snorted coldly, but did not speak, the room was silent, the woman in green coughed lightly, and said, "Now that Empress Jin is held by the emperor, she has become the most important person in the emperor's heart..."
The queen's eyes fell on the woman in green, and she frowned slightly, "Concubine Ya, how long has the emperor been to your place?"
Yapin's expression froze slightly, and there was a bit of sadness in her smile, "Concubine Jin is in trouble now, how could the emperor have such thoughts, in fact, since the emperor heard that Concubine Jin was going back to the palace last month, he has I don't step into the harem very much, concubine... I haven't seen the emperor for a month."
Hearing this, the empress felt even more resentful, so she had to close her eyes and hide her emotions in her own eyes. After a while, she opened them, "This is not the way, you have to find a way to let the emperor stay with you..."
Concubine Ya's complexion froze slightly, she lowered her head and responded, "Concubine... I have to do my best, the emperor..." After finishing speaking, she sighed faintly, "I am afraid that only the concubine Jin in this palace can make the emperor worry .”
The queen couldn't hear such words the most, frowned, and interrupted her, "Concubine Jin has been in the cold palace for more than ten years."
Yapin didn't speak, and the queen was feeling a little irritable, so she waved her hand casually, "Go down, you're fine on weekdays, just think about it, how to keep the emperor by your side is the most important thing."
Yapin responded, and slowly backed out. The queen frowned slightly, and after sitting for a while, she raised her voice, "Come here, change the tea." She had already drank the tea several times, and the taste of tea had long since disappeared. She wants strong tea, so that the bitter taste can remind her of her meaning in this deep palace, "How long has it been since the emperor entered the main hall of Qiwu Palace..." The queen smiled wryly, it was too long, she remembered Can't stop.
She felt a little uneasy. The words Yun Shang said to her yesterday were all engraved in her heart. Why did she seem to know her affairs so well, even the affairs of Li's mansion... the empress became more and more irritable up.
"Princess, princess, wait a moment and let the servants go in and report first." The voice of the palace servant came from outside, with a bit of anxiety.
Then came Hua Jing's voice, "Go away, you have to inform the princess when she sees her mother?"
The queen's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her mind became even more irritable. Her own daughter was obviously very well-behaved before. Although her temper was a little short-tempered, her embroidery skills and talents were among the top in the imperial city, which was also her pride. But when did it become like this
She was completely thoughtless in doing things, and even did such a thing with Cangjue Qingsu of the Yelang Kingdom, which made it almost impossible for her to gain a foothold in the court.
The queen was thinking, and then heard the bead curtain being lifted, and Hua Jing's face appeared in front of the queen. Hua Jing seemed to be a little thinner, his eyes were black and blue, and his face was anxious.
The queen felt a pain in her heart, no matter what, she was her own daughter.
"What's the matter? Shouting like this in the palace? If your father hears it, you will be reprimanded again. Have you committed fewer crimes recently? Do you have to ask your father to demote you to a commoner?" The queen said angrily.
Hua Jing pursed her lips aggrievedly, and leaned close to the queen and said, "Queen mother, help Jing'er, that bitch Yunshang is married to Prince Jing now, and Prince Jing is not easy to mess with, my daughter is really staying in Ningguo I can't go on anymore, you go and beg your father to let Shang'er follow Cangjue Qingsu to Yelang Kingdom."
The queen rubbed her forehead and snorted coldly, "Cangjue Qingsu Cangjue Qingsu! I tell you, you'd better give up your heart. You will never marry Yelang, your father I will not agree, and your grandfather will not agree."
Hua Jing bit his lip, with tears in his eyes, "Mother, besides Cang Jue Qingsu, who else is willing to marry a daughter? Mother stays in the palace every day, so naturally she doesn't know. Now among the people in the imperial city, her daughter is What happened to the rumors, they all said that I was shameless and promiscuous, and every time my daughter went out, she would be pointed at by others, and I would go crazy."
Hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but sneered and looked at Hua Jing, "Now you know what it's like to be scolded by someone poking your spine? Why didn't you know how to think about it before you did those things? If not You have made such a big mess, why is it so difficult for me to be in the palace now? Do you think you are the only one who will be judged by others outside the palace? Although I am the queen, it is only because of you, those concubines, Even the palace people, on the surface respectful to Bengong, turned their heads but didn’t know how to make fun of Bengong. Now you come to tell me that you want to go to Yelang Kingdom, it’s good for you, once you leave, what will you ask Bengong to do?”
Hua Jing has been very noble since he was a child, but in the past half a year, he has tasted all kinds of sufferings. He was ugly when he was forced by Cangjue Qingsu, and he was worried after knowing that he was pregnant. She stayed in the prison for more than two months. During those two months, she hated every day, thinking of pulling out that cheap hoof, but she didn't want to come out. Everyone knew that she was flirtatious, and she was pregnant even though her son-in-law was not around. She dreams every night that many people point their noses and scold her, she is really going crazy.
Entering the palace but being scolded by his mother like this, his heart was even more depressed and he was about to go crazy. Looking coldly at his mother, Hua Jing couldn't help laughing, "Hehe, no? Can you respect my idea? I didn't want to marry before, but you forced me to marry Zhao Yingjie, I I admit it, but now you don’t allow it? Why?”
The queen frowned, and her chest was a little stuffy from Hua Jing's rebellious words, "Why? Everything you have is given by me, why do you say?"
Hua Jing gave the queen a cold look, turned around and rushed out.
The queen felt as if a piece of ice had been put in her heart, she couldn't help shivering because of the cold, well, well, this is the daughter she taught, it's great!
"Come here, let someone monitor Princess Huajing, and she is not allowed to leave for a moment." She knew that Prime Minister Li had a major event to do recently, and now that it was at a critical juncture, she must not let Huajing be destroyed, otherwise, she would really There was no way to keep her.
As soon as Prince Jing and Yunshang returned to Prince Jing's mansion, the manager ran up and said, "My lord and concubine, Mrs. Bai is asking to see you."
Mrs. Bai? Yun Shang turned her head to look at King Jing.
Prince Jing said softly, "Madam Bai is the shopkeeper of the Qixiang Pavilion in the city. Yesterday I asked someone to take the spices you used to show Madam Bai. She came here to tell us the result. You and I Let's go and see together."
Yun Shang nodded, and followed King Jing to the front hall.
A young woman was sitting on the chair in the front hall. She was wearing a woman's bun. She was not very beautiful, but she carried a calm and unhurried manner. Yun Chang couldn't help but take a second look. Just now when she heard Prince Jing's introduction, she thought that Mrs. Bai was a woman in her forties, but she didn't expect that she was so young.
Seeing Prince Jing and Yun Shang entering the door, Mrs. Bai, who was sipping tea, slowly put down the teacup, stood up and bowed to the two of them, and said calmly, "My lord, my concubine."
Yun Chang was even more curious. Even though she didn't go out often, she had heard of the reputation of Qixiang Pavilion. She heard that the rouge and gouache made there had a unique fragrance that lasted for a long time, and the owner was a good dancer with long sleeves. The operation of Qixiang Pavilion is impressive. Look at how she just saw Prince Jing and herself, there was no flattery, and she was never nervous, her movements and voice were unhurried, very calm.
Seeing Prince Jing and Yun Shang sitting down on the throne, Mrs. Bai arched her hands together and said, "Although the powder my princess yesterday came from the Qixiang Pavilion, it's just that there was something in the thing that the prince sent yesterday. Yiwei is something that was never in the original powder, called Yixiang. Although this kind of thing is called Yixiang, it has no fragrance at all. So it's hard to smell it just by smelling it, but the thing is not finely ground, and it is not the same as Compared with the original smooth powder, it is easy to identify. Because of the addition of Yixiang, the box of powder is a little rough, and ordinary people don't feel it. It is only because of the long-term dealing with the powder that women recognize it. come out."
Yun Shang nodded, "Then what is the use of Yixiang?"
Mrs. Bai frowned slightly, "Speaking of which, there is nothing special about this Yixiang, almost completely useless."
"Oh?" Yunshang fell silent, since she tried her best to add Yixiang to the makeup, but it didn't work, so what was it for
But Prince Jing suddenly said, "It's useless to use alone, but will it have any special effect if used together with other things?"
Yunshang squinted her eyes. This is somewhat possible. Although the medicine to induce labor is rare, it is nothing special. When they got married yesterday, there were many people who were skilled in medicine. Contaminated with such things, there is no reason for everyone not to see it.
"The women don't know about this matter, I'm afraid I will have to find a doctor to look at it." Madam Bai said in a low voice.
