"My lord, my concubine, Miss Poetry is one of the three girls bestowed by the Empress Dowager. The other two girls are called Huayi and Fengya."
Butler Qin's words finally reminded them of the three beauties who were still squinting in the corner of King Su's mansion. For a while, they had different reactions.
Ananda finally knew the names of the three beauties, tsk! Look at the name to get~~
Poetic, picturesque and elegant, the end is to obtain elegance and coquettishness, so how about a red sleeve to add fragrance
Ananda secretly laughed in his heart, the empress dowager was really well-intentioned, but it's a pity that since the three beauties entered the mansion, they have been locked in a small courtyard, and they have never even been to the backyard, let alone seeing Chu Baning himself.
Chu Baning was expressionless.
Butler Qin bowed his head respectfully and did not speak.
Ananda yelled for a moment, and after a long while, finally converted the meaning of "nothing" into the meaning of ancient language. He was immediately surprised, and stared at Qin Butler with rounded eyes, with an expression of disbelief.
Aren't people nice? How do you say it's gone? Anan believes that because of the empress dowager's love for Chu Baning, she will never send some sister Lin's type of women here. They will definitely be beautiful and healthy-after all, the empress dowager hopes that they will give her son a lot of money, isn't it? Let them come here to be sick Xi Shi. Therefore, Ananda felt that there must be something strange about their sudden "disappearance".
——This girl has not yet thought of "restricting his wife". After all, she is someone's wife now, and she is still alive and well, but she has never thought that she is also one of the "restricted" in people's eyes!
"What's going on?" Chu Baning asked expressionlessly, and Ananda also looked puzzled.
At that moment, Butler Qin and Ananda trembled at the same time, realizing that winter had arrived earlier.
Knowing that his lord is in a bad mood, Butler Qin could only bite the bullet and say: "My lord, Miss Shi Qing disappeared at 3:00 noon today. You and the princess went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the old servant didn't let anyone notify you." Seeing that Chu Baning was expressionless, Steward Qin continued, "I heard from the two girls who lived in the same courtyard as Miss Shiqing that there was an autumn rain last night and the weather turned cold. Miss Shiqing must have been careless. After catching a cold, I developed a high fever this morning, and at about three quarters in the afternoon, Miss Shiqing left."
"Why don't you ask the doctor to see you when you're sick?" Ananda wondered. The palace is very tolerant to the servants. Generally, if you have any illness, you just need to ask the nurse in charge, and the nurse in charge will send someone to invite the doctor. Unlike Some rich families don't care about people's lives.
At this time, Butler Qin also imitated his lord, and said solemnly: "This old slave went to ask the two girls, Huayi and Fengya, and they said that because the poetic girl didn't think it was serious, they insisted not to invite a doctor, and they said it was good to have a rest. , so no one was bothered, so no one cared about it at that time. Until noon, when the two girls were worried and went to visit the girl Shiqing, they found that the girl Shiqing was in a coma, and the doctor went there before the girl was invited. gone."
Ananda opened his mouth wide and murmured: "It's too exaggerated. It's just a fever. Are... are their bodies so weak?" Ananda still didn't believe that the Queen Mother would send a sister Lin here to harm her son. . Thinking, Ananda glanced at the man beside him, and saw that although he had a serious face, he always felt that something was wrong.
Butler Qin looked at their concubine with some embarrassment, not knowing whether to answer the conversation, and complained in his heart that the poet was really ignorant, so he died at such a time. Didn't you see that the prince has been married for a month now? He is celebrating! The concubines of their family are all alive and well, but you are dead, what kind of trouble are you really adding? !
For a moment, the three masters and servants were speechless.
After a while, Chu Baning pursed his lips, and ordered: "Steward Qin, ask someone to send some money to the maid's family, and then ask someone to bury her well." Give a bit of thin noodles.
Butler Qin nodded and said yes, hesitated to speak, and finally did not tell his prince what happened to the remaining two frightened court ladies. If he said it now, it would not be in his prince's heart Stab it
After Butler Qin left, Chu Baning glanced at Ananda's worried expression, reached out and touched her head, and summoned the maids and nuns to order them to escort Ananda back to her room, and said to Ananda, "Go back and rest first, Don't wait for me."
After saying that, he took his personal servant Mu Yuan'er and left without looking back.
Seeing the man's straight back disappearing into the dim light, Ananda felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart. For some reason, she suddenly felt that Chu Baning's back looked a little sad, which made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
This night, Chu Baning did not come back very late.
Ananda was restless, circling around in the room, and once wanted someone to find Chu Baning's whereabouts, but thought that Chu Baning's whereabouts could not be detected by himself, and gave up his heart in despair. Chu Baning is a strong man, he would never like women to inquire about his whereabouts and interfere with his affairs, even in his consciousness, women should be husbands and sons, manage the inner house for men, and leave other things to men up. Chu Baning has always treated her in this way. Although Ananda is not smart, he has self-knowledge and is very good at measuring.
Ananda waited until midnight, which was the last time she slept since she came to this era.
When Chu Baning came back, the night was dark, and the night guard maid, Ru Lan, was dozing off. The sound of Chu Baning's returning footsteps woke her up, and Ru Lan looked at the prince who came back covered in dew in some panic.
"Has the princess rested?" Chu Baning asked.
Ru Lan nodded, then shook her head, seeing Chu Baning frowned, she hurriedly said: "Princess Princess originally said she was going to take a rest, but she said she couldn't sleep..."
Chu Baning hummed, and stepped into the room.
In the room, a lamp was lit, and the bean-like lamp swayed in the cold night wind.
Ananda was sitting on the bed tied up with a quilt in a daze. When he saw Chu Baning coming back, he couldn't help being overjoyed. He quickly jumped off the bed and ran to him to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
After a night of time struggle, and the "kindness" reminder from Ru Cui's second-hand maid, Ananda remembered that Chu Ba Ning was ordered by an eminent monk to "keep his wife and sons out", presumably the poetic death touched him. Everyone was on their nerves, and those who were always paying attention to King Su's mansion were not surprised by this result, thinking that King Su had finally "killed" another woman.
He must be very sad...
After all, no matter whether it was his fault or not, the women related to him died inexplicably one by one, making more and more people believe that he "killed his wife and never had a son". No matter who spreads this sad reminder, it will not be easy.
Chu Baning looked at Ananda who jumped out of bed wearing only a middle coat, his face relaxed a little, but he said reproachfully: "The dew is heavy, you should wear more clothes."
After what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion today, Ananda has already opened her heart to him. His words of concern in his accusations made her very happy. She smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm in good health." Ananda was proud He said with care: It is absolutely no problem to defeat a little white rabbit~~~
Under the virtuous service of Ananda, Chu Baning changed into a nightgown, and then lay on the bed with Ananda in his arms. Ananda leaned in his arms docilely, wanting to tell him that "killing one's wife and children" is a feudal superstition and cannot be believed! Those women just happened to have an accident at the right time, and it has nothing to do with him. She will live well and continue to harm the widow for thousands of years...
However, in the end Ananda didn't say anything, Ren Chubaning hugged her tightly in his arms, feeling the tightening force of the man made her bones ache. Just when Ananda couldn't bear the pain of hugging and wanted to remind him that he hurt her, the tightness of the tight band suddenly relaxed.
"Ananda, go to sleep!"
Chu Baning patted her on the back and coaxed her to sleep like a child. Ananda raised his face, carefully searched for his lips in the dark, and wanted to kiss him good night, but unexpectedly, he kissed the tip of his nose, flushed with embarrassment, and quickly retreated to sleep, as if he hadn't heard someone Suppressed laughter.
It was late at night, and Ananda was also tired, so he fell asleep slowly. In the half-dream and half-awake, he seemed to hear a deep voice whispering something in his ear, "...stay with me..."
***********
The fact that the maid given by the queen mother died in Su Wang's mansion is not big or small, but she is just a person with no name and no role-it should be said that she is just a servant, even if the master kills her, it doesn't matter.
But the bad thing is that everyone knows that they are given by the Queen Mother to "serve" King Su! It is obvious that they are the women of King Su!
People just disappeared, and then think of the legend of King Su who "killed his wife and son" who moved the capital, so people were excited, and everyone who knew had an expression of "Look, let's kill another one!" , I think this result is natural, but what is unnatural is that Princess Su, who has not burped yet, is a tangled accident! How can Princess Su be so swollen that she can die in various ways? Isn't this disappointing them!
The disappearance of a palace lady was originally a matter of Su Wang's mansion and had nothing to do with outsiders, so it shouldn't spread so quickly. But Chu Baning issued an order to bury the person in a safe manner. Although the wedding and funeral were not held in the palace, there were a lot of things that needed to be prepared, which naturally attracted the attention of interested people. So, in just one night, most people in the capital knew that there was a funeral in Su Wang's mansion, and after inquiring again, they knew that the maid given by the queen mother was gone.
Immediately, everyone in the capital was alarmed, and the gambling house that had been silent for a month was once again crowded with people.
When the news of the funeral in Su Wang's mansion reached the palace, the queen mother was holding a bunch of picture albums of the rich family and pulling the emperor's son to comment together.
The queen mother still did not give up and wanted Emperor Chongde to designate a noble side concubine to his youngest son, thinking that only in this way would he be worthy of Chu Baning's noble status. Now the queen mother is not worried that King Su will not be able to marry a wife. Didn't you see that Princess Su is still alive and well? That's why the Queen Mother believed that her son's fate of restraining his wife should be broken, allowing him to accept beauties so that he can flourish.
Although Emperor Chongde smiled on his face, he began to sigh in his heart. If he knew earlier, he should have slipped away because of the busy state affairs. Looking at the beautifully painted pictures of ladies and listening to the empress dowager's critical comments on them, Emperor Chongde knew that his mother's empress might have to work for nothing.
Emperor Chongde thought of Chu Baning's serious face like Lao Tzu's. If he knew that the queen mother was preparing to choose a concubine for him, he might directly resist the order and walk away. Even if you keep him, tell him earnestly that since ancient times, men should have three wives and four concubines, and spread branches and leaves for the family, he will say something even worse that will hurt your heart.
Emperor Chongde couldn't help laughing when he thought of his younger brother's twitching words with that serious expression.
Just as the Queen Mother picked out some pictures of the ladies she was satisfied with, and Emperor Chongde was so irritable that he could hardly bear it any longer, an eunuch hurried in and told the news that the poetic girl in King Su's mansion was gone. master.
The queen mother was stunned, unable to react, and asked stupidly: "What's gone? Why is a good person gone? Could it be that she has the guts to run away? How courageous! I'm not afraid that the Ai family will punish her!"
Emperor Dechong was a little sluggish, but he was an emperor after all, so he quickly realized it. But after hearing his mother's ignorant words, Emperor Chongde was embarrassed.
The eunuch buried his head, wanting to pretend that he didn't hear anything and that he didn't exist. But he is such a big person, how can he hide it? I just hope that when the queen mother wakes up, she won't kill him to silence her because of embarrassment.
And the queen mother also reacted quickly, and she was stunned again before she was annoyed by the stupid things she said.
What does it mean that the poetic girl is gone? Didn't the imperial physician say that they are healthy and that they will live to their 70s and 80s without any problems
The empress dowager roared in her heart, and ten thousand grass-mud horses galloped past in her heart.
