Chapter 102: Icy cold

Jiang Xiaolou suddenly smashed the veil on the ground, and pressed it over with anger: "Xie Fangfei, I should have asked you this! This person first said that I was his wife, and he insisted that it was what I personally did. Embroidery, the evidence you are showing now is your veil. Isn’t it a horrible thing to slip the world!"
Everyone was immediately in an uproar, and their eyes all fell on Xie Yu's body. Xie Yu's entire heart was instantly squeezed by a huge hand. This veil was indeed embroidered by her, and it was the last homework that Niang Wen Liuli assigned back then. After finishing, she liked the veil very much, almost staying with her day and night. But when I left Xie’s Mansion, I was too hurried, and I accidentally left it in the cage. I didn’t want to be revealed today...
Just now when Jiang Xiaolou was talking, she hadn't looked at it carefully, and now she was completely stunned. Jiang Xiaolou, Jiang Xiaolou, you are indeed a sinister person, and you can think of ways to cause trouble!
Xie Yu made a decisive decision, closing her lips tightly, just looking at the prince sadly, tears streaming down her eyes, her fingers trembled and trembling, she pinched the veil, her brows became softer under the red candle , The complexion is more pale, a shaky appearance.
Xie Yu didn't say a word, just such a hazy teary eyes shot out countless threads in an instant, as if to hold the prince's heart. I have to say that Jiang Xiaolou's various methods are not comparable to this amazing and weak beauty.
The prince's face turned from white to green, and he sternly said: "Bold lunatic, first he wronged the princess for no reason, and then even my side concubine dragged down the water. Someone must be instructed behind! Come, tie this thing immediately Get up, I want to be interrogated severely!"
The prince's guard immediately rushed over, and quickly tied the man who was still struggling firmly, plugged his mouth and dragged it forcibly.
Just now, King Qing wanted to pull the person out, but the prince stopped him again and again. Now, as soon as the incident involved his concubine, he immediately changed his attitude. Everyone showed a subtle expression on their faces.
Everyone saw this incident very clearly today. This person said that Jiang Xiaolou was married to Jiang Xiaolou, but the evidence he showed belonged to Xie Yu, proving that everything he said was deliberately framed, and the purpose was to make Jiang Xiao The building is ruined. In order to frame an innocent woman, he used such a vicious method, and something went wrong in the middle... Everyone's eyes turned on the crown prince, Xie Yu, and Jiang Xiaolou, becoming more and more weird.
A farce came to an abrupt end. Concubine Shun pulled the veil on her lap to cover the twitching muscles on her lips, but her voice was still a little nervous, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding..."
"Misunderstanding? My good-looking daughter almost got married out of nowhere, and she said it was a misunderstanding! Just now you kept saying the word husband and wife, just to indulge those people to pour dirty water on Mingyue!" Princess Qing sneered.
Concubine Shun's face immediately turned red, with a guilty look, she took the initiative to apologize to Jiang Xiaolou: "Princess Mingyue, everything is mine, it's not—"
"Oh, what does it have to do with you? Someone deliberately framed it!" King Qing came out to make a round, embarrassed.
Jiang Xiaolou just smiled kindly: "It's just a small matter, I won't worry about it, you don't have to take it to heart."
The parties were so generous and generous, everyone couldn't help but relax. The ladies and ladies who had accused Jiang Xiaolou just now also changed their voices and praised her.
Jiang Xiaolou looked at the bottom of his eyes, and a cold smile flashed across his heart. These ridiculous dignitaries, when a wall falls, everyone will step on it desperately. Once they find that the wind is not in the right direction, they will change their faces and face the lamb. The appearance of the beast, facing the fierce beast but turned into a lamb, is ridiculous to the extreme!
In a blink of an eye, the prince was full of smiles: "Like such a fanatic, don't be disturbed by him. Come, let's continue drinking!"
When the prince uttered a word, everyone laughed and laughed again, as if everything had never happened before.
Jiang Xiaolou took the initiative to come over with a wine glass, and said softly, "Thank Concubine, you were frightened just now."
Xie Yu looked at the beautiful face that was close at hand, only to feel angrily in his heart, abruptly turned his face to the side, and gritted his teeth and said: "Every other."
She held the cup tightly with both hands, and her shoulders couldn't help but began to tremble. She was obviously frantic with anger, but she had to hold it back, pretending that nothing had happened.
Jiang Xiaolou, don't be proud.
If you want to knock me down, stop dreaming, there will never be a day!
This time you escaped by chance, next time, you will be sent to hell!
Jiang Xiaolou saw through the other's thoughts, but he still smiled calmly on his face.
The red candle is like a fire, the house is full of splendor, but her smile is not stained with dust, and the country is beautiful.
That night, Jiang Xiaolou told Princess Qing everything together. When Princess Qing heard that the matter was related to Mother Zhao, she immediately ordered: "Bring Mother Zhao here."
Chaoyun Yiyan went, but soon returned with a hurry: "Wang Hao, then Mother Zhao, she..."
"What's wrong with her?" Princess Qing stood up suddenly.
"She suffered a stroke and went like this!" Chaoyun reportedly dropped her head.
Concubine Qing and Jiang Xiaolou looked at each other and saw an obvious conclusion in each other's eyes: murder and kill.
Princess Qing sneered: "It's a coincidence that I died!"
As early as after the banquet began, Jiang Xiaolou had been sending people to spy on Mother Zhao secretly, and now something happened. It can be seen that the other party's quick actions were taken off guard. She said solemnly: "Wang Hao, let's go and see together."
"Good," Princess Qing nodded immediately.
When they came to the lower room where Mother Zhao lived, they saw a group of people around the door, scrambling to squeeze forward, each of them craned their necks and talked a lot.
Seeing such an undecent scene, Princess Qing frowned: "What happened again?"
The little maidservant in Tsing Yi who was looking inside did not expect that the princess would come in person. She was flushed and reported to the princess, "return to the princess, the family of Zhao's mother came to collect the body, saying that Zhao's death was unclear, and she was clamoring for the prince to be the master."
Concubine Shun was standing in the yard with a grieving expression on her face: "Mother Zhao has been waiting for me for so long. I am also very sad, but she did suffer a stroke suddenly. Of course, I will also give her a sum of money to bury her. What's the use of you crying like this?"
The Zhao family’s daughter struck her neck: "Shun concubine, my mother will wait for you for a lifetime. Yesterday she said happily that she would go back to the hometown to take care of the elderly, but she was suddenly gone tonight!" She burst into tears, shouting loudly. : "Mother, mother, you died wronged!"
"Hurry up and pull the people out!" Liu Guanshi, who was in charge of the management of the staff, was furious. "How dare you make trouble in the palace and eat the courage of ambition!"
Ordinary people naturally don't dare to make trouble in the palace, but this mother Zhao's daughter is seventeen and she is widow within three months. Mother Zhao finds a work for her to make a living by watering in the back garden of the palace. This woman has always been a fierce woman. How willing to obey easily, she was pulling and pulling, she suddenly saw a lady in brocade go into the yard, everyone at the same time saluted and called the princess, her eyelids jumped and she immediately pounced on: " Princess, my mother died terribly, please be the master for her! Just here, this—" She pointed to the position of her heart, "I was cut open by someone, bloody!"
There was a sneer on Jiang Xiaolou's lips. After the banquet, it was only half an hour before the other party moved his hands too fast-I'm afraid that the wind direction just turned in front, and Mother Zhao is dead!
Concubine Shun just used a veil to cover the tears at the corner of her eyes, and she looked very sad for the old servant: "Wang Hao, I have asked the doctor to check it out. When he comes out, everything will be clear..."
Princess Qing looked at her coldly, noncommittal.
After a while, the old doctor came out trembling. He first came up to salute the princess, and then solemnly said: "I have experienced it, and there is indeed a wound on the corpse's chest."
The Zhao family's daughter couldn't hide the indignation: "Princess, you heard that!"
The old doctor glared at her: "If this person is killed during his lifetime, the scar will not only leave blood fat, but also blood shade, the wound will be and colorful. If he is cut with a sharp blade after death, it will be flesh-colored. It will become dry and white, and there will be no blood! This is because the blood line is impassable after death, and the scars will turn white. The wound of Zhao’s mother is on the chest. Although it is fatal, the scars are white and there must be someone I have seen the scars deliberately after her death. I have seen this a lot, but it is blackmail!"
Mother Zhao’s daughter was taken aback, her complexion changed drastically, and she was waiting to explain, but she heard Guan Shi’s scream: "Have you heard it, please drag this blackmailed woman out!"
From the beginning to the end, Concubine Shun was just full of sorrow and sorrow, and also attracted the sympathy of the servants and maids. Such a good master, the Zhao family dared to be wronged, it was really awkward.
The undercurrents in Princess Qing's eyes were turbulent, and she took a deep breath and said coldly, "Like this farce, I hope it will not happen again in the future."
Concubine Shun stood firmly on the steps, and it took a long time for her lips to show a slight smile: "What the princess said is, there will never be again!" Concubine Shun said to Princess Qing, but to Jiang Xiaolou's eyes. Those bright eyes, with endless mockery, shot straight at her. The other party has already understood everything in his silence! Concubine Shun knew this deeply, her body trembled suddenly, but she smiled for an instant: "I'm disturbed, the night is already deep, please go back and rest."
Prince House
Xie Yu’s beautiful eyes were full of mists and grievances all over his face: "His Royal Highness, I really don’t understand what happened..."
The prince sighed softly, "Isn’t it obvious? Originally, I wanted to ruin Jiang Xiaolou’s reputation, but I never thought that the other party had been precautionary, and went to Xie’s Mansion to take out your earlier embroidery as proof. Thing. Think about it. At that time, if I didn’t immediately order that person to be crossed out, I still don’t know how big a joke would be!"
The crown princess coughed softly, and she never said much. But now he raises his long eyelashes, his eyes are full of love, pity and sympathy: "Everyone has seen this matter today, and I don’t know how to talk about Concubine Xie secretly. Your Highness, you must It's the only way to vent your anger for her. Don't let anyone wrong her for no reason."
Xie Yu suddenly raised her head to stare at the princess, the tears on her face gradually closed, her expression inexplicably complicated. The eyes of the prince princess were like translucent amber, and her lips were only smiling slightly, just like infinite care, but she felt a chill in her heart. The crown prince was clearly turning the corner and saying that what the crown prince was doing today was to hide his ears and steal the bells, which was in vain
The prince was really irritated by these words, and said angrily: "It's all this Jiang Xiaolou broke down!"
The prince's black pupils are deep and bottomless, and no one can guess the true meaning of it, but her tone is not tepid: "Why is your Royal Highness so angry? Since everyone knows what happened today, it will soon be spread everywhere. Your Royal Highness can think of it. What's your idea?"
The most difficult thing in the world to eliminate is rumors, and the most difficult to eliminate are rumors. Once rumors spread faster than lightning, they will soon be known and the world will fly around. The prince took a deep look at Xie Yu, and his eyes slowly became strange. The best way now...
Xie Yu was stared at by the strange gaze, only to feel frightened, cold all over her body, her thoughts turned abruptly, tears fell on her front breasts, her pointed chin lifted slightly, and her eyes were completely red: " Your Highness, if even you abandon me, how will I deal with myself, and the flesh and blood in my belly..."
The prince's cold and biting eyes slowly softened, and a hesitation flashed in his heart, but he gently helped her up and said softly: "You are a person with a body, why bother to care about these small things. You. Rest assured, I will settle everything smoothly."
The princess still held the tea cup, cleverly bent her lips, her long eyelashes drooping, covering the coldness of her eyes.
A servant girl in blue came in outside, whispering a report: "His Royal Highness, there is a guest asking to see you."
The prince turned around impatiently: "What kind of guest is it this late?"
The handmaid raised the greeting note above her head, which happened to be beside the prince. The prince glanced at him with a cold expression: "Let him come in."
After a while, the maid brought in a thin, lean, middle-aged man in a dark blue robe, and he saluted the prince in a neat manner: "Cao Min has seen the prince, the prince's concubine."
Xie Yu was taken aback, and couldn't help being surprised: "Butler, why are you here?"
The housekeeper gave her a blank expression, and bowed his head respectfully: "The master heard that the fourth lady was in the Prince's Mansion, and there was good news, so he ordered the minion to say a greeting to the lady. The minion was here in the afternoon. Just because the temple went to the banquet, I kept waiting in the porter."
Although Xie Yu still wondered about the veil, she couldn't help but smile. Xie Mansion is just an ordinary merchant. Of course, she must look for every opportunity to cling to herself. Just thinking about it, her lips showed a three-point smile. The tone was also a little closer and said: "Thank you father for me, he is interested."
As soon as the voice fell, I saw the butler bowed and said: "Not only that, the master also asked the slave to bring some gifts to the lady."
The prince said lightly: "Send all the gifts to the concubine's residence."
The butler shook his head slightly and said, "The master told me to open it on the spot."
The prince frowned, but the princess chuckled lightly: "It's hard for Master Xie to be so polite, please carry it in."
The housekeeper of Xie’s house patted his palms, and immediately there were four entourages carrying two large boxes and coming in. The first box was opened full of ordinary gold, silver, jewellery, pearls and jade, and the housekeeper said,
This is a gift from my lord to the Royal Highness and the Crown Prince. Concubine’s gift."
The prince nodded and said, "What's in the second box?"
The butler lowered his head and said, "It's just some old things of Miss Fourth."
The princess was not surprised: "Master Xie is too worried. There is nothing in the Prince's Mansion. I don't need to bring the clothes and jewelry that I wore when I was a daughter."
Xie Yu frowned slightly, for some reason a bad premonition rose in her heart, and she subconsciously was about to stop it.
But the butler was silent, walked quickly to the box, and suddenly opened it.
The crown prince only glanced at it and stood up immediately: "What is this?"
The air suddenly became tense, and Xie Yu's face changed slightly and he could barely breathe.
The housekeeper looked down and said indifferently: "Return to the princess, this is the nanny gown specially sewn by the fourth young lady when she became a monk, but she hasn't officially lost her hair nor received the ordination. The master in the nunnery said that this thing cannot be kept. Let the minion bring the things back to the original owner, and ask Miss Fourth to accept it."
Looking at the black nun’s robe, a trace of anger appeared on the prince’s face for an instant. He turned his head and stared at Xie Yu, his eyes staying for a while: "What does Xie Kanghe mean?"
Xie Yu's face changed a bit, her lips trembled, and she felt a layer of coolness spread over her, almost completely drowning her.
But the housekeeper lowered his eyebrows and looked pleasing, with a calm expression: "The fourth lady made a mistake, and the evidence is conclusive. The master punished her heavily for this. He asked her to go to the temple to send her home and stay with the ancient Buddha of the blue lantern to redeem her father-killing. However, he escaped halfway and even entered the Prince's Mansion. The master asked me to apologize to the Prince. The adopted daughter was not a godfather's fault, but Xie Yu's nature was despicable and morally corrupt. He was unable to discipline him. In the future, Xie Yu and my Xie Mansion will have nothing to do. If you make a mistake, please take care of yourselves." After speaking, he bowed deeply and stepped back slowly. His demeanor was extremely respectful, but what he could say was like ice, destroying the whole atmosphere at once.
The prince's chest trembled with anger, and he almost wished to chase the man back to the corpse, but he held it back. Xie Kanghe's intention was obvious. He would never admit this depraved daughter. The prince turned his face, his eyes fell on Xie Yu's face. Xie Yu also wears a jewel collar between her neck. The golden hairpin in her hair is made up of forty-eight gold threads thinner than her hair. The red candle shows a radiant glow, making her complexion like jade and beautiful. . On weekdays, the prince would always be fascinated by her appearance, but now he felt that a dark cloud was pressing down. Xie Yu kept saying that he had been wronged, but how could a father wronged her in such a decisive way, and even sent the robes to the prince's mansion... This is totally unreasonable.
"What did the housekeeper say that Xie Feifei's killing her father meant?" The princess raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes were faintly filled with cold light, but she turned to the prince, "His Royal Highness, is there any misunderstanding in this? Dare to kill the father's daughter, such a violation of human relations is really terrible!"
Xie Yu’s lips trembled, and her voice was weak and feeble: "His Royal Highness, I have already said that they were wronging me. The killing of my father was going to be struck by thunder! Your Highness, think about it, I am a weak woman, and How could he get this bad hand... Father was clearly deceived by Jiang Xiaolou!"
A wistful smile appeared on the lips of the prince's concubine, but her voice was regretful: "Whether it is true or not...a Qin Si has just appeared in the court, and his majesty ruled him into a restless backyard, completely ruining his reputation. And official career. If the rumors of father killing spread out, where will the Prince's Mansion become, and how will people outside talk about your Royal Highness? Xie, Concubine, you'd better explain all this clearly."
Xie Yu gritted her teeth tightly, her pitiful eyes almost dripped with tears, and her pink cheeks were full of sadness and despair. She stepped forward and grabbed the prince's sleeve, crawling slowly on the ground, and said in mourning, "Your Highness, I can’t argue with all the gold, and I have no way to argue with it. I just ask you to see that I am obsessed with you, grant me a death, so as not to tarnish the reputation of your Highness!
The prince was stunned. He looked at the calm prince, and looked at Chuchu's poor Xie Yu, his voice eased unconsciously: "No matter, I won't pursue this matter anymore, and no one will mention it again."
Hearing that, the princess's eyes fell on Xie Yu's body like butterfly wings, and the other party did not flinch and collided with her. Xie Yu's chin lifted slightly, her eyes could not help but a hint of coldness, while the corners of the crown princess's lips were slightly raised, with a specious smile.
In the morning of the second day, Jiang Xiaolou ordered to go to the drugstore, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his tone: "Go to Mr. Taiwu."
Mr. Taiwu’s residence takes a long time from the capital, and it takes a whole day to come and go. Is this miss deliberately avoiding Doctor Fu? Xiaodie couldn't help thinking like this. Seeing Jiang Xiaolou's eyes swept towards him, he immediately said, "Yes."
The carriage did not arrive at Mr. Taiwu's residence until midday, but it was Fu Chaoxuan who ran into him. He happened to come out of the door and watched Jiang Xiao get off the carriage, and the expression in his eyes was extremely complicated.
Jiang Xiaolou was slightly startled, and then smiled softly: "Doctor Fu."
"I came here to find my master, did you deliberately avoid me?" The fingers in his sleeve suddenly squeezed, almost crushing.
Jiang Xiaolou sighed inexplicably. She originally thought that Fu Chaoxuan could think about it by herself, so that she could maintain the relationship of friends with each other, but the other party...so she could only minimize the chance of meeting each other, so as not to give him some kind of unwillingness. The actual association. It was too embarrassing to run here to find Mr. Taiwu at the expense of wasting time, but ran into the victim at the door!
Fu Chaoxuan took a deep breath and slowly calmed down his emotions: "You look down on me too much. Even if you don't love me, I won't be shamelessly confessing to you. Now that I have received your money, I will do something for you. Let's do business. Do it publicly."
Hearing what he said was condensed. If he refuses anymore, he is afraid that he will be enmity, Jiang Xiaolou sighed lightly in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Today I have an important thing to ask"
She narrated the matter briefly. After listening to her, Fu Chaoxuan couldn't help but mutter: "Actually, it's not difficult to do." He quickly returned to Mr. Taiwu's medicine hall and ordered a white rat to be fetched in front of him with a sharp knife. Punched a hole under his ribs, and then repeatedly poured it with boiling water. The strange thing was that the original scarlet wound gradually turned white, and gradually even the blood shade faded.
Fu Chaoxuan sighed: "It is indeed smart to use boiling water to remove the blood from the wound, but there are also traces of scalding on the skin. Ordinary doctors will not pay attention to this-this Qing Palace is really a hidden dragon and a tiger, so complicated. Very, you'd better not worry about it anymore."
Jiang Xiaolou looked as usual: "I have been involved in it, and it is impossible to get out."
Fu Chaoxuan endured and endured, after all, he could not hold back: "No matter what, I just want you to be safe in your life. If you have any difficulties, come to me at any time. Of course, not as a lover, but as a friend. If you avoid it the next time, I, I will never forgive you in this life."
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes were involuntarily touched, but he smiled extremely calmly on his face: "Thank you."
Qing Palace
Hearing Jiang Xiaolou's answer, Princess Qing couldn't help gritted her teeth: "Concubine Shun really does everything, and even the loyal and loyal servant who has followed her for many years can kill her without blinking."
There was a small smile on Jiang Xiaolou: "Mother, don't worry, the person who designed me to frame me...now I can't please."
Princess Qing frowned more and more, and subconsciously asked: "You mean--"
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes were calm as water: "Those spooky sprites jumped up and down behind their backs, concocting a scene of a distressed couple looking for relatives thousands of miles away, in order to ruin me. I have already repaired a book and ask Uncle Xie to give me something to the Prince's Mansion. I can't take off her skin, and I have to give her a headache for a few days..."
Princess Qing nodded unconsciously, her heart relaxed slightly, but suddenly remembered another thing, her eyes swept towards Mu Yu: "Chaoyun goes to work, haven't you come back?"
"Yes, Chaoyun left early in the morning, and hasn't turned around yet."
Princess Qing's hands trembled slightly, and a trace of anxiety flashed through her always gentle and gentle eyes. Jiang Xiaolou read the anxiety into his eyes, and a soft smile appeared on his face: "Mother, what's the matter?"
Princess Qing glanced at her, then stopped talking, and finally shook her head: "Nothing."
At this moment, a servant girl in Tsing Yi respectfully said outside the door: "Wang Hao, the old princess, please go."
When the princess Qing heard the words, the whole person seemed to be stunned, showing a look of bewilderment.
"Mother, the old princess invites you to speak." Jiang Xiaolou raised his voice slightly, and gently stretched out his hand to stroke the princess Qing's arm.
Concubine Qing shook his head suddenly, and immediately seemed to be frightened, and her shoulders could not stop and began to tremble.
Jiang Xiaolou was a little surprised. She didn't know why Princess Qing suddenly showed such a frightened expression, she was panicked like never before.
Princess Qing took a deep breath and slowly said, "It's late, you go to rest first, I will meet the old princess and come back." Before she got up, Jiang Xiaolou suddenly held her sleeve.
Concubine Qing turned around questioningly, Jiang Xiaolou's eyes had a heart-warming smile: "Mother, since the old princess wants to see you, you might as well take Xiaolou with you."
"But—" Princess Qing was slightly startled, and immediately hesitated on her face.
The sun shines through the sandalwood window, and the profile of Princess Qing is incredibly soft. She is obviously worried, but she has to act as if nothing has happened, she is afraid that she is worried. Jiang Xiaolou smiled: "No matter what happens, I will stay with you."
Concubine Qing felt warm in her heart for a while, and couldn't help saying: "Okay, let's go to see the old princess together."
I opened the curtain and went in, and at a glance, I saw the old princess's complexion, her eyes condensed slightly, and the prayer beads in her hand rattled, which sounded particularly shocking. Standing next to her was Concubine Shun, wearing a mint green dress and a jade lock with emerald inlaid turquoise around her neck. Although she was not young, her charm was undiminished and she still had charm. Two princesses stood beside her, one on the left and the other on the right. Jiang Xiaoyun tied her hair on her temples with golden steps carved with peony flowers in her hair. She looks plump and beautiful, with a beautiful manner. Zuo Xuan was only wearing a light blue dress with a plain white embroidered high collar. Seeing Jiang Xiaolou entering the door, Zuo Xuan's eyes blinked at her, seeming to remind her to be more careful.
The room was extremely quiet for a while, only the pattering of prayer beads.
When Princess Qing saw Chaoyun kneeling on the couch, she felt nervous and insecure, and she felt her heart plunge straight into the unreachable abyss.
The old princess let out a sigh, stopped the prayer beads suddenly, and said sternly: "You are so courageous!" Then she suddenly lost a long brocade.
Princess Qing just stood upright, almost stiff and unable to move. Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiaolou bent down and picked up the brocade, opened it, and found a scroll in it.
This painting is a scene of folk worshiping the original Tianzun. The sky has solemn and solemn Tianzun, mighty and majestic heavenly generals, and elegant and beautiful fairies, all in various poses, echoing each other. The ground is full of people, men and women, old and young, with a pious demeanor and a charitable face. A small painting brings together more than 300 characters, and it is also beautiful and quiet, full of changes, and memorable. Jiang Xiaolou took a closer look, only to recognize that this was a famous painting of Shangyuan left by Master Chongyao more than 100 years ago.
Princess Qing gritted her teeth and stubbornly said nothing, but heard the old princess say angrily: "If you can't be the mistress, don't do it! Take out such precious paintings in your home as a pawn, how can you do it? ?"
Concubine Qing's face turned pale, and Concubine Shun and her two daughter-in-laws were there. The old concubine didn't save her face, and she lost her face.
Jiang Xiaolou understood in an instant that although the palace was headed by the mistress, it was by no means as easy as everyone thought. No matter whether it is a big or a trivial matter, nothing can be done without a word of money. Although the royal palace has paid the royal court every year, it also owns a large amount of land and can collect high rents from tenants who cultivate these land. However, these silver princes have specific accounts and expenditures. Although Princess Qing is in charge, the financial power is actually in the hands of the old princess. She always allocates a certain amount of silver for the expenses of the house. But in fact, this sum of money is far from worth the huge and extravagant expenses of the Qing Palace, especially Wang Qing himself... If the princess had a position in the mansion, she could have spoken to the public school and the old princess, but she and They have never been in harmony, but prefer to use their own money to make up for it.
Over time, no matter how you save money, money will never be enough, especially during festivals and birthdays. It is necessary to spend money. In addition to daily expenses, the communication between the Qing Palace and other residences and the exchanges between relatives and friends are also a very large expense, not to mention the management and rewards for up and down. Every time Princess Qing reported the accounts, the old princess would raise her nose and her eyes, blaming the palace for its excessive expenses, so Princess Qing had to grit her teeth. Half a month ago, King Qing asked her to withdraw silver thousand taels to buy a pair of falcons. She couldn't turn around for a while, so she could only with the famous paintings in the library. This painting was worth three thousand silver... But since Chaoyun was discovered , To prove that things were exposed.
Concubine Shun's eyes seemed to be incomprehensible and shocked: "Wang Hao, if we are short of silver, we can save a little bit, why bother? This Shangyuan Tu is the most beloved painting of the old prince when he was alive. What should I do if I don’t come back?"
Concubine Qing's heart was tightened almost instantaneously. She is also the owner of the Palace of Qing Dynasty. Concubine Shun's life is not much better than her. Compared with her own careful and careful calculation, Concubine Shun has been living a very luxurious life. Know how to use King Qing's favor to squander and keep asking for it. Listening to Concubine Shun's cool words, she felt sore in her throat for an instant, her eyes reddened involuntarily, and anger surged into her heart.
Jiang Xiaolou had already understood this scene. It turned out that someone deliberately caught the princess's pigtail. She was born in a business family and ran her own shop with her own hands. Of course she knew the difficulties of the princess. Concubine Shun was still shaking her lips and tongue desperately, trying to pull her down. As a result, this home is naturally unpredictable.
Although the old princess has a harsh temperament, she rarely speaks sternly. She thinks that princess Qing did this to make things worse and lose the face of the palace. She could not help but said in a deep voice: "You princess is too unqualified to be a princess at all. What should be done is really dereliction of duty!"
Princess Qing's eyes blushed involuntarily, and she was accused face to face. This person was her mother-in-law, and even Concubine Yu Shun was standing aside with a smile, so embarrassing, it was a shame!
She took a step back subconsciously, just at this moment Jiang Xiaolou gently held her hand. Princess Qing was startled, but saw Jiang Xiaolou's lips with a slight smile: "It's all mine. My mother spent a lot of money to prepare the banquet for me."
She even took the responsibility on herself, and Princess Qing was shocked.
The old princess snorted, with a smile on her face: "Xiaolou, since you are the princess who was appointed by the empress, we shouldn't be too mean, but no matter how money we lack, we shouldn't make yuan. Picture idea!"
Princess Qing originally wanted to make a short transition. Today, she sent Chaoyun out to redeem Shangyuan Tu. Who knew that she happened to be hit by the King Anhua at the door, and the matter was naturally stabbed out. Of course, Concubine Shun wanted to be caught. Staying with this little braid will make things worse and make Princess Qing lose face.
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes are quiet, his expression is gentle, and his smile is extremely humble: "You don't have to worry, all the expenses of this banquet will be borne by Xiaolou, and you will never be embarrassed."
When this remark came out, everyone was shocked. Princess Qing wanted to explain the real use of the money, but Jiang Xiaolou squeezed her hand, indicating that she did not need to speak.
Concubine Shun's eyes trembled suddenly, and her face became gloomy.
The old princess couldn't help looking at her with a suspicious expression, and the lines in the corners of her eyes became deeper: "Do you know how much money this banquet will cost?"
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes are shining brightly: "The amount of money is the second thing. The key is that the people in the house are really rare for me. It is my own expenses, and it doesn’t matter if I bear it. It is meaningless to annoy you, and it is a small building. A little bit of filial piety."
If Princess Qing needs a because of poor management, this is a question of her ability. But Jiang Xiaolou's opening meant that he had admitted all his sins, and he was also a kind girl. The old princess knew that Jiang Xiaolou’s family was quite wealthy, so she did it all to relieve the princess, and nodded and said: "That’s fine, it’s fine, you all go back. Remember, you must not do this next time. ."
Concubine Shun couldn't help feeling annoyed, and she gritted her teeth secretly: Jiang Xiaolou, Jiang Xiaolou, what are you busy with? This was a great opportunity to pull Princess Qing from her position as the host. Didn't the opportunity I waited so easily be overwhelmed! I gritted my teeth with hatred, but smiled warmly on his face: "This is how everyone is happy. Don't think too much about the princess, just go back and rest earlier."
Zuo Xuan could not help but smile slightly when seeing a big storm disappear, and nodded at Jiang Xiaolou.
Chaoyun came out of the house with a shameful face, but Princess Qing was unsteady and almost fell on the porch. Jiang Xiaolou helped her and said softly: "Mother, don't be impatient. The road is very long, we have to walk slowly."
Princess Qing's heart trembled and raised her head, but saw Jiang Xiaolou's bright eyes looking at her with a smile, and her heart was slightly warm for a while: "I didn't consider it enough, but it hurt you. Don't blame the old. The princess was angry. This painting was the most beloved of the old prince back then. I had no choice but to this painting out, but I was picked out without expecting it—"
The smile on Jiang Xiaolou's lips has not changed a little, and his voice is low and said: "It is so good, but it is so severely reprimanded after pawning a painting. If the power of the prince is pawned, I don't know what to blame."
Princess Qing was stunned for a while and looked at each other unclearly.
Three days later, a major event occurred in the Qing Palace.
The same room, the same scene, except that Concubine Shun stepped into the gate, but King Qing’s anger was greeted by King Qing. A booklet was thrown on her face, and her body suddenly shook, and her whole body trembled involuntarily. For a moment, I had to look down at the booklet, almost afraid to meet King Qing's gaze.
"How do you explain this?" King Qing had never been so angry before, and he stared at Concubine Shun with a strange cold eyes, almost as fierce as eating her.
Concubine Qing was sitting aside, seeing Concubine Shun half-hanging her head in a dazed look, but she was a bit stunned. What is going on in this situation?
Undercurrents raged in Jiang Xiaolou's eyes, smiling at everything in front of him. The official secretary Ma Huai advised the old man to return to the hometown, but for a while, there was no suitable replacement. King Qing took charge of the official department for the emperor, and was responsible for the promotion of personnel and the evaluation and appointment of officials for a full three years. In the past three years, all official assessments must go through the hands of King Qing, so by the way, the concubine acted as an intermediary. After receiving the money, he introduced the other party to the prince through other channels, unknowingly blowing a bit of wind. , The matter was resolved as desired, and everyone was happy. Originally, none of this would be known. But last night, a burglar was caught by the guards of the Qing Palace. Everyone found a small ledger in his package, which recorded that Shun Fei accepted the officials from the DPRK on a certain day, a certain month, and a certain year. As soon as the incident happened, it caused an uproar in the entire Qing Palace.
A side princess who was supposed to be honest in the back house actually used the power of the prince to sell the official prince. Once this matter is spread out, it will simply become the laughingstock of the world. The emperor will not be the first to spare King Qing! The old princess’s face had never been so ugly. She pointed at Concubine Shun and kept clicking on her fingertips, but her eyes were full of cold light, cold and terrifying: "I treat you as good as you are. Unexpectedly, you did such a thing! The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate!"
Concubine Shun only felt that her heart was beating faster and faster, as if a hole had been opened by these words, and her whole body was icy cold for a while!
