"Second Emperor Sister is here?" The prince pointed to the vacant seat next to him: "Sit."
The second princess took a peek at Concubine Xian and King Ying. Seeing that they didn't speak, she sat down with a puzzled expression. As soon as she sat down, a mosquito flew towards her face, and she quickly waved it away with a fan.
"Prince, since this matter is a misunderstanding, it's good to say it." Although Concubine Xian does not like Fushou County Master, but Fushou County Master is her son's savior, and she is like a flower. The prince had a quarrel, didn't it make her life difficult for the rest of her life.
"Concubine Xian, you don't have to worry about it. Gu and Fushou County's master is more affectionate than Jin Jian, so why would you have trouble with her because of this matter?" The prince was surrounded by eunuchs playing fans and holding candles, but he was not bitten by mosquitoes. . His eyes swept across the second princess, and the jade string in his hand was twisted softly by him.
"Prince, this bracelet is so delicate." The embarrassing atmosphere was suffocating, and the second princess was so uncomfortable sitting here that she had to take the initiative to find something to say.
"Gu also thinks so." The prince raised the corner of his mouth: "This is a gift from Fushou County Master."
The second princess laughed dryly, pretending not to see that the prince was intentionally showing off.
The awkward atmosphere gradually flowed until the voice of Fushou County Master came.
"The ministers and daughters have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Xian Concubine, His Royal Highness the King of England, and His Royal Highness the Princess."
"Liu Li, come." The prince beckoned Hua Liuli to sit beside him. After Hua Liuli sat down, she took off a sachet from her waist: "The eunuch who asked me to come said you were watching the moon by the lotus pond. I thought there must be many mosquitoes by the lotus pond, so I brought two mosquito repellent sachets."
"One of us." Hua Liuli tied the unpacked sachet to the prince's waist, turned her head and smiled apologetically to the others: "I'm sorry, before the minister and daughter came, I thought that only His Royal Highness was here."
Without waiting for the others to speak, the prince took the lead and said, "It doesn't matter, they won't mind, right?"
Concubine Xian and the others can only nod their heads. You are the crown prince, and we can't afford to offend you, so whatever you say is right.
"The sachet brought by the county master is really good. After such a short time, the mosquitoes disappeared, and even the slaves and others enjoyed their happiness." Sac, but what a powerful object.
Looking at the flattering face of the waiter in the East Palace, King Ying wanted to ridicule a few words, but thinking that the person they were touting was the unfortunate princess, he swallowed the words again.
After touting, the eunuch of the East Palace told Hua Liuli what had just happened.
"In those two days, I also took some gems from the royal father's private vault. In addition to the ones sent by the eldest brother, I picked the gems with the best color and made them into jewelry and sent them to you." The prince held the flower. Liu Li's hand: "This matter has nothing to do with you, just blame those talkative people for spreading rumors."
"As long as Your Highness believes in me, I won't take other people's stupid words to heart." The daughter of the Hua family, she can be informal when necessary.
"There is something unclear about the minister's daughter." Hua Liuli turned her head to look at the second princess: "Apart from the second princess, who else knows that the coral hairpin worn by the minister's daughter on the day of the cherry banquet was once belonging to the King of England?"
The second princess' complexion changed, and then she looked at a few trusted court ladies behind her: "Which one of you leaked the news?"
Several palace maids were so frightened that they all knelt down. Except for them, no one else knows which gems the princess gave the king. Now that there are such rumors in the palace, besides them, who else is more suspicious
"It's about the marriage of the prince, how dare you play like that!" The second princess was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and she even said three good words: "Since you don't want to say it, then you will be punished together, I can't afford you to be like this. the good lady of the palace."
Hua Liuli glanced at the expression of the second princess, her angry look didn't seem to be a fake.
The palace maids all begged for mercy, kowtowed, and it was very lively.
Seeing that the princess was reluctant to let go, one of the palace maids clenched her teeth and said, "Your Highness, please, the servant found out a few days ago that she had sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night."
The palace maid who was pointed out was a palace maid in a green shirt. After she was pointed out, she looked a little flustered and quickly shied away.
"You don't need to argue, that night I noticed that you looked different, so I didn't drink the water you brought." The court lady who identified said, "The other people who drank the water slept extraordinarily sweet that night, probably too. I didn't know you sneaked out the door."
The green-shirted palace maid's face was pale, she probably knew that she had been exposed and could not argue, and suddenly looked at the second princess with a sneer: "Princess, are you mad at the slaves spreading rumors, or did the angry slaves sabotage your plan?"
"What are you talking about?" The second princess frowned and looked at her, "You bitch, you just spread rumors and cause trouble, and you want to bite the palace?"
"Does the princess still remember Fu Sheng?" The green-shirted palace maid burst into tears: "If it weren't for you, how could he be so convinced of his fabricated identity?"
King Ying and Concubine Xian looked a little ugly when they heard the word "Fusheng". This person was the crazy eunuch who said Concubine Xian was his biological mother a few days ago.
"Nonsense!" The second princess pointed at the palace maid in green: "Pull her down and torture her with a cane. There is no room for people who spread rumors and cause trouble in this palace."
"Wait." The prince did not let the green-shirted palace maid take away: "Gu most likes to listen to other people's stories, come on, you can continue."
"His Royal Highness, the slave and Fusheng met shortly after entering the palace, but Fusheng was not seen by the father-in-law, so he wouldn't let me show that the two knew each other." Tears poured down from the green-shirted palace maid: "He came to the side of His Royal Highness the King of England. After serving, life gradually became better than others, but he suddenly told me two years ago that he might be the child of the concubine Xian."
"The slave-maid suspected that there was deceit, and tried to persuade him many times. It was not until a few days ago that he told me that he must be the son of the concubine Xian, because all this was told by Her Royal Highness the princess." The second princess said: "These years, the slave and Fusheng have been dependent on each other for life, and even planned to wait for the princess to marry, and then begged the princess to let the slave and Fusheng have a pair of food. But all this was ruined by the second princess!"
"Joke." The second princess laughed angrily: "Bengong lied to him and said that he was the son of the concubine Xianfei, what good does it do to the palace? Who does not know in the whole palace that the concubine Xianxian has the kindness of nurturing to the palace, I Gong and Concubine Xian are in love with their mother and son?"
"Yes, the maid originally thought so." The green-shirted palace maid showed a crazy smile of revenge: "But you forgot that the maid is your personal maid, and your words and deeds are all under the maid. In your eyes. You probably don't know that the night before the cherry banquet, you laughed out loud in your sleep, saying that your mother and daughter would avenge you and so on."
"How can you feel the same mother and son as Concubine Xian, you clearly want her to die!"
Hua Liuli was stunned by the grievances and grievances in the palace. She suddenly felt a little regretful. She should have brought some snacks just now.
"Come on?" The prince seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and put a packet of pine nuts in her hand.
Hua Liuli fed one to the prince and ate one for herself. Seeing a few people who were still emotional just now, they all looked at them and smiled softly: "You continue, don't worry about us."
The blue-clothed palace maid paused for a moment, wiped the tears from her face and continued, "The real mastermind behind all this is not Fusheng, but her!"
She reached out to the second princess.
Being identified by the palace maid like this, the second princess was not angry. She raised her eyebrows and asked: "This is just your one-sided word, and you framed me without evidence. In the end, you are just angry that this palace doesn't want to protect you, so you just slapped me. ."
"Prince Prince and Fushou County Master have a good relationship. You deliberately let people spread such rumors, what is your intention?" The second princess is usually a gentle and easy-going personality, and it is a bit dignified to be angry.
"The relationship is just right?" The palace maid laughed: "Isn't it you who most want the prince to disagree with Fushou County Master? You hate slaves so much, but it's because the slaves released rumors in advance, which made your deeds exposed and the prince suspected. That's it."
"It's not the way to quarrel like this." The crown prince looked at Concubine Xian: "Concubine Xian, you can send someone to see the second emperor's sister's house and see if there is anything suspicious in the second emperor's palace. Prove the innocence of the second emperor sister."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the Crown Prince trusts you." Hua Liuli said to the second princess, "There are so many palace people around here tonight. If you can't find out what happened, won't it affect your reputation?"
Concubine Xian was confused from beginning to end. After hearing that the prince asked her to send someone to check the second princess' house, she did as the prince wanted without thinking.
After giving the order, she regretted it again. Why should she listen to the words of a junior
"The princess and the concubine Xian concubine are like mothers and daughters. If others go to search your palace, it will be too frustrating." Hua Liuli continued to smile: "It is suitable for the concubine Xian concubine to be the elder. It can be seen that the prince thinks very well for you. "
The second princess sneered in her heart, if she was really thorough, why would she send someone to search her house
"The female officials around the concubine Xian are like fairies, and they should not be overworked." Hua Liuli nodded at Iris and Yu Rong: "The two girls beside the ministers grew up at the border, and they have no other advantages, just If you have the strength, let them help you with the past."
Concubine Xian noticed something was wrong from the prince's face, and nodded in response.
"Speaking of that day in the Imperial Garden, although the ministers and daughters did not meet His Royal Highness the British King, they did meet the Second Princess." Hua Liuli smiled and winked at the Second Princess: "The princess seems to have the habit of picking flowers with her left hand. Left-handed?"
The second princess tucked her hands into the sleeves: "I don't know what this has to do with Fushou County Master."
Concubine Xian next to her patted her thigh and said excitedly, "Her mother is also left-handed. But this girl always eats with her right hand and writes with her right hand, so she doesn't look like a left-handed."
"Perhaps when the princess was young, she secretly corrected this habit when she saw that everyone around her was using her right hand." Hua Liuli glanced at the second princess whose expression was unknown: "But the habit in the bones cannot be changed, so there are It will show up subconsciously from time to time.”
"Is the minister's daughter right, Second Princess?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about." The second princess did not speak with a sullen face. There was no panic on her face. She seemed to be certain that she had made no mistake, so she had a clear conscience.
In the princess palace, the female officer beside Xian Concubine did not find anything suspicious. When she was about to leave, she saw the two maids beside Fushou County Master, knocking from time to time, and even found a few problems. hairpins, and other objects that looked suspicious.
They were about to step forward to help carry things, but the two maids bundled up the things and picked them up with one hand. The female officials who were so shocked that they wanted to open their mouths to help, all shut their mouths.
Iris and Yu Rong put the things they brought in front of everyone.
"His Royal Highness, the bottom of this bottle is hollow, and the servant suspects that there is something hidden in it." After speaking, Iris chopped down with her bare hands, the bottom of the vase shattered in half, and a yellowed letter fell out of it.
"This hairpin has a different weight." Yu Rong broke the blond hairpin with one hand, and white powder fell out.
Probably because the two maids were so powerful that no one spoke for a while. Just so quietly watching them smash palace bricks with their bare hands, squeeze gold ingots and peanuts with one hand, and then look inside to find something out.
After the things were dismantled, Iris and Yu Rong saw that everyone did not speak, and explained: "The two slaves have been with General Wei since childhood. In order to prevent the enemy from mixing into the city, they have developed the habit of searching for suspicious objects since childhood."
The way the second princess hides things is indeed very concealed, but for them who have been tested for a long time, this is not a problem.
It is a strange behavior for a princess with a distinguished status to secretly collect these things.
Among these things, some are the relics left by her biological mother, and there are some post-it notes of unknown origin, but the content on them is very ordinary.
What color of clothes, what gems and a few grains.
The second princess gently put away the relics left by her biological mother, her voice trembling a little: "I want to keep some things from my deceased mother by my side, can't I just think about it?"
"You want to keep it, why do you need to act secretly?" Concubine Xian couldn't help but said, "Can I still be mean to you because of this?"
She has a son of her own, and raising the second princess is just pity for her not having a mother and a concubine. As for whether she misses her biological mother, Concubine Xian never cares.
It wasn't born to her anyway, why does she care so much
The second princess gently touched a yellowed handkerchief: "Didn't the concubine Xian tell the maid next to me, don't let me see the things of the concubine?"
Concubine Xian thought back carefully, and said after a long time, "But when you got sick when you were seven?"
The second princess was silent.
"I'm afraid that at a young age, after listening to the nonsense of the people around you, you will have bad thoughts and delay your illness." Concubine Xian didn't expect that she would be hated for so long by her casual words, and she couldn't help complaining. : "It didn't come out of my belly."
"These should be some code words." Hua Liuli picked up the notes with only a few words in them: "Your Highness Princess, the ministers and daughters saw someone in Dali Temple who could copy the file with both left and right hands at the same time. Her Royal Highness will write with the left hand. ?"
The second princess looked at Shang Hua Liuli and smiled: "The county master is really good at joking. Those who can serve in Dali Temple are all extremely talented people. How can I write with my left hand."
"Isn't it important?" Hua Liuli put away all the notes: "Why don't you ask the princess to play a game with the court lady?"
"What game?" The second princess was silent, but Concubine Xian was a little curious.
The prince smiled without saying a word, as if he had decided to leave this matter to Hua Liuli.
"fishing."
Hua Liuli took out a handkerchief and covered the corner of her mouth with a light cough: "Although the servant girl was born weak, she has learned the art of fishing."
Concubine Xian is at a loss, is it great to know how to fish? As long as there is a rod and bait, who wouldn't
The author has something to say: Concubine Xian: I understand every word you say, why don't I understand it
