On the first day of the first month of April, it was a bit of a coincidence that it started to drizzle just after dawn.
The blue sky, the fine white rain, and the small blue-veiled carriage drove through the rain and fog. The Chang mama in the car closed her eyes and rested, not much interest in the street scene outside the window.
For the women in the palace, it is not easy to see the scenery outside the palace, but after walking down the same road for years and months, they can't take one more step, and gradually they lose all interest and expectations.
Fude Temple is located in the west of the city, maple trees are planted along the way, and the most beautiful time is when the autumn leaves are full of red leaves.
At the moment, Chang Momo didn't take a look at it, and was quickly greeted by the monk waiting there respectfully.
Afterwards, there is no need to mention the worship of Buddha and incense. After busy with these aunts, they are not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they take a walk in the temple and breathe the fresh and free air, which is considered a half-day leisure.
This is the old habit of Changmao. At this time, she doesn't like the novice to follow her, and she only walks and stops with two palace maids.
This walk, went to the depths of flowers and trees.
The gap between the flowers and trees revealed a corner of light blue, and the voice of the conversation was faintly heard.
Mother Chang paused, and then turned to leave.
Having lived in the palace for a long time, she has seen a lot of shyness. She knows the reason why curiosity invites misfortune, and she is not interested in listening to the wall.
But the next sentence stopped her from leaving, and instead made her take a step closer.
Although the Fude Temple is a royal temple, it is not only open to the royal family. Except for some specific festivals, it will be open to ordinary pilgrims.
"Have you heard that King Qi wants to kill Princess Qi?"
Another voice laughed and said, "Who hasn't heard of this now? Tsk tsk, I didn't expect King Qi to be such a person..."
The previous voice retorted: "If you want me to tell you, the truth is not necessarily like this. How can ordinary people see the truth of the noble people's truth?"
Another person smiled and said, "Anyway, the nobles make trouble, let's watch it if we have fun, otherwise the days will be boring."
"Yeah. Speaking of which, there have been quite a few accidents in the past two years. Recently, there were King Qi and King Xiang, and there were other princes before, even the eldest princess lost her life-"
Mother Chang was stunned for a moment.
Princess? Which is this talking about
There are not many eldest princesses married in the capital. I have never heard of any accident. Not long ago, all those who could come to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet came, and only one took leave due to serious illness.
But listening to the two of them talking, shouldn't the rhetoric of losing one's life be related to the death of the disease
Madam Chang couldn't help but listen carefully.
A sigh came across the flowers and trees: "It's still the eldest princess, isn't she already a commoner, speaking of which, even we are not as good..."
Chang mama was shocked and couldn't help but take a step back.
There is only one eldest princess who becomes a commoner—
Princess Rongyang is dead
when did it happen? Why hasn't the Cining Palace been informed at all
In shock, Nanny Chang took another step closer.
The two palace maids who followed her looked nervous and did not dare to let out the air.
The sigh came: "The eldest princess also married the wrong person. I heard that Consort Cui has always been cold to her, like a widow, and finally died in the hands of Concubine Cui..."
Chang Momo was shocked again.
Princess Rongyang was killed by Consort Cui
Under the shock, Mother Chang's ears perked up.
But the two behind Huamu changed the subject at this time and talked about the recent news in the capital.
These are obviously two women who like to talk about gossip very much, and this kind of women is too common in Beijing, Chang mama is not even interested in knowing each other's identity, and only cares about Princess Rongyang.
She pondered for a while before making a decision, motioning the two palace maids to stay where they were and walking towards the direction from which the voice came.
Behind the flowers and trees are two women with ordinary eyebrows. The older one wears a blue skirt, and the younger one wears a red skirt. Although the style is fashionable, it seems that the material is not good in Changmao's eyes.
She quickly came to a judgment that this should be the wives of two petty officials and officials, who were not high-level, but the fastest to spread gossip.
If it is replaced by ordinary people, the idleness of being busy with a living will be weakened.
It is not difficult for these two women to cope.
Mother Chang strode over.
The appearance of Chang mama made the two women stunned, and the slightly older woman in blue dress asked, "You are—"
For the convenience of going out of the palace, what Chang mama wears is only outside the palace style, and the material is not top-notch, but the bearing cannot be hidden.
At least the two women could tell that the person who suddenly appeared should have a higher status than them, so they used honorific titles.
Madam Chang swept away the two women, full of aura: "You don't have to ask me about my identity, and I don't ask about the identities of the two. I just want to inquire about the situation of Princess Rongyang."
The two women couldn't help looking at each other.
Mother Chang took out two gold ingots and stuffed them into the hands of the two women.
The gold ingot was so heavy that the two women were shocked to hold it.
Chang Momo smiled lightly: "Everyone knows about Princess Rongyang, it's not a secret. As long as you two tell what you know, these two gold ingots are yours. You don't know me, I I don’t know you either, so it’s good to leave Fude Temple as if nothing happened, isn’t it?”
The two women looked at each other, and there was no way they would not agree, and they quickly told the story of Princess Rongyang like a bamboo tube.
After hearing this, Mother Chang gave the two women a deep look and walked away quickly.
When the footsteps were far away, the woman in the red dress touched the gold ingot hidden in her arms and couldn't help sighing, "The money of these nobles is really easy to earn."
This gold ingot can top her man's salary for half a year.
The woman in the blue dress glared at her: "Stop talking about this, let's go."
Of course, the previous words were said to the person who just listened.
Because it was the first day of the new year, although it was drizzling, there were not many pilgrims who came to offer incense.
Confused, the two women deliberately avoided people and chose to walk on a remote road. When they reached a bamboo forest, it suddenly became dark in front of them, and when they woke up, they didn't know where they were.
A young man appeared in front of him.
The two women wanted to scream, but found that their mouths were gagged and they couldn't make a sound.
The young man's face turned solemn: "Jin Linwei is handling the case!"
The two women's eyes widened in horror.
How can there be Jinlinwei
They just received a gold ingot and said a few gossips, it's not enough!
The young man played with the dagger and said coldly, "I have something to ask you. If you shout or answer dishonestly, think about the gold ingots you didn't have time to spend."
The two women were pale with fear.
Sure enough, it was Jin Yuanbao who caused the disaster!
The gag was taken away, and the two women gasped for breath.
"Tell me, who are you?"
…
After questioning, the young man concluded from experience that the two women did not dare to lie, so he let them go.
Be careful, and soon two men with ordinary eyebrows each quietly followed a woman.
The young man rushed back to Prince Yan's mansion and said excitedly to Yu Jin when he came to the study: "My lord, there is something going on with the Queen Mother!"
