Changqing Ci

Chapter 77 Rumors

After Xun Changqing returned to the mansion, the injury not only did not improve, but worsened day by day. Zijin invited the imperial physician in the palace, but the effect of the medicine was still insignificant, and Xun Yi was busy with the government, and rarely returned to the mansion. Occasionally, he would send someone back to greet him. .

And Yun Shen stayed in Japan for a few days and planned to leave. It can be seen that Xun Changqing seemed to be getting sicker, and he didn't dare to go back to Jizhou. If Wei Lingci asked, she couldn't answer. After all, she hadn't taken good care of Xun Changqing on the way. The reinforcements had gone, and there was no rush for a day or two, so I simply waited for Xun Changqing to recover from his illness before going back.

She gradually discovered that the imperial capital is not as quiet as Jizhou. The streets and alleys here are full of fish and dragons, and you can see different people every day. There are traders from all over the place, knights in the rivers and lakes, and even royal family and nobles. There are all kinds of people. She likes to mix in these places He dragged Xianyu all over the street to wander around.

Anyway, the Pingnan Prince’s Mansion has strict rules, and you need to greet the concubine when you enter the door. Sometimes you are not allowed to enter the door, and she doesn’t bother to go if there are too many times. She stays quietly in the princess’s mansion, playing in the imperial capital for a few days, and buying some in Jizhou city. Bringing the gadgets back to Shang Hong and the others is not a disappointment to the little princess.

In the seemingly lively neighborhood, there is a bloody storm hidden.

Yun Shen likes to eat Chaos on the street, so he goes there to eat every other day, and listens to everyone telling some inauthentic jokes, such as whose son is married, whose wife is as beautiful as Xianer, or what My boy does well in the exam, he will definitely have a future in the future, and some people like to talk about things in the brothel, how beautiful the oiran is, and how fragrant he is.

There are all kinds of weird things, Xianyu is not a quiet person, but now that she meets her, she can be regarded as a kindred spirit, and the two of them ate wontons and stories together.

Hearing the whispers of the people next to him, "I heard a strange thing."

Seeing the strange look on the speaker's face, the people next to him immediately leaned forward and pushed his right hand that was eating wontons, "What's so strange, let me tell you about it, which big man's backyard caught fire again, ouch, This kind of thing is the most exciting thing, and talk about it quickly."

The sound was loud and attracted many people to listen.Yun Shen swallowed the last chaos in the bowl, and went to that table to listen to the little story.

Seeing that everyone was interested, the man cleared his throat, took a look outside, and saw that there were no important people, and said: "I... I heard the story of Princess Xiang'an. The concubine gave birth to a girl from an outside room, and it doesn’t even count as a concubine, after all, her mother didn’t even enter the house.”

One word startled the whole room, Yun Shen clenched his fist, and wanted to hit someone when he raised his hand, but was stopped by Xian Yu, who motioned her to continue listening. Things in the world don't come from nothing, there must be a reason.

The man's name was Wang Wu, he was from the street, and the news was very accurate. Everyone was stunned to see him drinking a cup of tea, and said: "Really, the old people who came out of the palace said that they are all so old. Seeing that she was about to enter the coffin, she said that the frontier princess was not pregnant, and the child was carried back from outside, so the prince ordered to seal it and said that the princess gave birth."

Someone interjected: "Then you said it might not be the seed of King Pingnan, after all, women outside are not as safe as women in the mansion."

"Maybe that's the case...the women outside are all skittish...maybe it's not...haha..."

Yun Shen was so angry that he clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead were prominent, he broke free from Xianyu, stepped forward and punched the man, and cursed: "Princess Royal, those are golden branches and jade leaves, and you are talking nonsense, be careful of eating in the yamen. "

Wang Wu was punched for no reason, half of his face was swollen, he crawled on the ground for a long time before he got up, and cursed: "It's none of my business, I'm just joking, if you beat someone, you'll have to eat in the yamen board……"

After cursing a few words, he realized that the beating person had already run away. He spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed, "Damn it, it's lucky that you ran fast, otherwise I would have broken both legs..."

Wang Wu was still cursing, Xianyu had dragged Yunshen for a few miles, Yunshen shook her arm, looked behind with anger in his brows and eyes, "Why did you pull me, that person owes me Hit, I'll hit him a few times and he'll settle down."

Xianyu glared at her, her sleeves flapping in the heat, "It's useless for you to beat him. If he doesn't say anything, others will say that this is not Jizhou. Anyone who beats someone in the Imperial Capital will be locked up in a cell. I think it's against the law." The little princess is coming, you go back first, I will tell the little princess so that she can prepare."

Yun Shen suddenly felt that he was a little impulsive and shouldn't cause trouble for them, so he went back to the house and waited for Xianyu's news. In reality, it is time to fight.

Xun Changqing has never been out of her yard since returning to the mansion, and she looks like she is indifferent to the world, but she faintly senses that the people in the mansion are becoming less and less friendly. The imperial concubine Qin Jingyu doesn't seem to like her very much. The other servants in her courtyard in the mansion were kind, but they spoke coldly to the people in her courtyard.

As time goes by, fools can see the problem, and the servants in the mansion avoid her one after another. After all, it is the Shizi Concubine who manages the palace now, and the fate of the servants is in her hands.

When Xianyu entered the mansion, she was stopped outside the mansion as usual. She stomped her feet, but she didn't dare to force her way in, so she had to wait under the scorching sun for a long time. After passing her, she wiped the sweat from her head, and complained: "This prince's mansion is too difficult to enter, and the little princess can bear it. My young lady said that if you encounter difficulties, you can go to the palace to find your mother. There is no need to be so patient." on."

Zijin took out his handkerchief and wiped her sweat, and said with a smile, "Master doesn't care about some trivial matters, and if they quarrel, it would be embarrassing for the palace. By the way, are you in a hurry? You are in such a hurry to find the master."

What kind of master there is what kind of maid, Xun Changqing's Buddhist temperament, even with Zijin, Xianyu knew that he could not persuade them, so she told her what happened today, after all, the news has just begun Biography, it will be a big trouble when you can't suppress it later.

Zijin's complexion changed, and the matter in hand was put on hold for the time being, and he went back to the house and informed Xun Changqing.

She originally thought that Xun Changqing would be angry, but she only frowned slightly when she heard this, and rubbed the edge of the page with her fingertips. There was a slight chill on her pale face. I learned it all from Wei Ling's words, and outsiders probably won't know about it, I'm afraid it's the people in the house who are acting as ghosts again. I'm so quiet, I'm not going out of this yard, and I still have trouble."

"Actually, some troubles are unavoidable. The maids in the yard said that the guards did not let them out of the gate of the palace recently, and the concubine is in charge of affairs. The things that are distributed according to the rules are not as good as before. They want to talk to you, but you are so sick. , They dare not disturb your recuperation."

In fact, Changqing vaguely heard these things mentioned by the people in the yard, but there are many small frictions in the palace. It is not difficult to get serious, but Qin Jingyu's approach is too childish, so what if he moves some hands and feet Well, on the surface, she didn't dare to touch herself.

I had no choice but to play some tricks,

Xun Changqing was helpless, put down the book, straightened up slightly, her eyes condensed helplessly into a shallow light of sharp blades, she said: "Who is my biological mother and what is her identity, it is not up to them to talk about it like this, since the prince has hidden it so much." It has been revealed for many years, so why not just let this secret come out now, and I don’t worry about it, don’t I?”

Zi Jin nodded, "But how to let the prince speak out by himself, and what is the purpose of the prince's defense until now?"

"He handed me over to Ana Yanran, which must mean that he loves my biological mother, so he wants to give me the status of a descendant. If he doesn't love me, he can hand me over to others to raise me at will. Otherwise, if this secret is exposed, he will definitely Lost face. But he is obviously not afraid of this, so there must be some love."

Xun Changqing leaned there slightly, with a tired expression, and slightly closed his eyes. Her kindness did not stop Qin Jingyu, but intensified it. She was not interested in anything in the palace. Although she changed everyone's future, But none of them will know about these changes, and greed will only make people go darker.

In the previous life, the Pingnan Palace had no disputes with the world because there was no need to fight. The choice of the son was already determined, but now Xun Yitang died, and the vacant position of the son may be the future prince. The same is true for Bai, so it is difficult for Pingnan Palace to calm down.

And Qin Jingyu fought against her for no reason, could it be that he also regarded her as a candidate to seize the heir?

Xun Changqiqing rubbed her sore temples, she looked at Zijin, and unconsciously twitched the corners of her lips, "Go and check, is there any new movement from Shizifei, she can't compete with me for no reason. She should value Xun Yibai as the candidate for the next day, no matter what, it's impossible for her to be my turn."

It's just that rumors may not necessarily be a bad thing. She was deeply disturbed, and she didn't know if what she did next was right. After all, it was an elder's business. Being used by her to achieve her own goals, her intentions were a bit sinister. Xun Changqing rubbed herself With a dull aching shoulder, he ordered a few more words in a low voice.

Zijin was stunned at the moment when he heard the words, and said in puzzlement: "This will ruin the reputation of you and Mrs. ... to the worst, and it's just what that person thinks."

The slender and thick eyelashes trembled, Xun Changqing looked at her palm, and seemed to feel the beating of the pulse. She didn't know who this life came from, and now she had to face such dangerous rumors. I feel that as a junior, I am really too incompetent.

In Wei Ling's words, he is worthless.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Zijin couldn't persuade her anymore, so she went out of the house to give orders.

Xun Changqing looked at that figure, the slight sadness in his eyes seemed to turn into the coldness of the deep night, solid and dense, she was no longer a child, all she had to do was to put herself in a safe place We cannot let Wei Lingci stay uneasy in the north.

..........................................

The major events in the imperial capital cannot escape the idle concubines in the palace. Now the overall situation has been settled. Since the death of the empress, Concubine Xiangui has really been No. 1 in the harem.

They didn't see His Majesty every day, and they heard that he was sick, but they didn't even have the opportunity to serve him, except for visiting the garden all day and chatting about affairs outside the palace.

I don't know which palace person passed on the news. When it was mentioned that Princess Xiang'an was mentioned, everyone listened carefully with their eyes wide open. She was the little red man in front of His Majesty. It was her, but it was a pity that her fate was not good, and the biological mother did not know who it was.

Several concubines who came to pay their respects gathered in Zhaoren Palace. Concubine Xian Gui had just got up to wash and wash, so they had to wait, and they got together rarely, chatting about the most popular rumors in the imperial capital.

One person peeled off the grape skin, bit his red lips, and said: "Rumors are flying all over the sky now, and that princess can only hide in her own room and never go out, but I really wonder if it is really a seed from outside, why is King Pingnan Protecting her, His Majesty rewarded her with the position of princess, the princess was promoted to princess in an extraordinary way, but Daqi was the first, not to mention the name of the late emperor, this is not fake."

"In my opinion, it's not necessarily true. The outside said that woman was a brothel girl. King Pingnan disliked her identity, so he didn't welcome her in. Princess Xiang'an is his child, so she naturally brought her into the mansion. Now we are together. It is only because of His Majesty's favor that he has such a status. You see, the prince has ignored her for so many years, and I don't think she is too fond of her. Women in brothels are just for fun, so how can they be brought home, and they must not be laughed at."

You chatted with each other for half an hour, and when someone turned around and saw Concubine Xian a few steps away, he was so frightened that he dropped the grapes in his hand on the ground, and hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects.

Concubine Xian looked at them coldly, her eyebrows and eyes were full of anger, years of experience in the palace allowed her to maintain a calm dignity, and she said coldly: "In the palace, you will be punished for chewing your tongue, your Majesty's dragon body is not healthy, so you can't be more peaceful. "

The few people were too frightened to speak back, after all Concubine Xiangui has the right to deal with them here, they also suddenly remembered that Princess Xiang'an had a good relationship with Concubine Xian, they had hit the knife edge.

Fortunately, Concubine Xian didn't have the heart to argue with her, so she grounded them and turned back to the main hall.

Concubine Xian Gui was furious, she returned to Beijing for more than half a month in Xun Changqing, her condition recurred, and she has not recovered to this day, the imperial doctor went to a few times, but only said that the wound has already deteriorated, and she is too worried, now she can only feel relieved rest.

Now that rumors spread so fast, how can one feel at ease.

She looked at the big palace lady beside her, and brushed away the teacup on the table angrily, "I told you to suppress the rumors, why did the rumors spread faster? , Your ability to do things is getting worse and worse."

The maids in the hall were so frightened that they hurried over to clean up the debris. Qing Yao, the maid who called the roll, knelt aside and hurriedly explained: "The place is too tight for the prince, and nothing can be found. As for the rumors, the slaves did their best. Dijing is almost a household name. Your empress, just I'm afraid you can't stop it, so you might as well think of other ways."

Xian Guifei waved away the rest of the palace people, only Yu Qingyao, with a worried expression, said in a low voice: "Go to Pingnan Palace to have a look."

If that girl was alive and kicking in the past, it would be fine if she ran around in the palace. It is her turn to intervene in these matters, but she is so ill now that she is confused, so don't be calculated by others.
