Changqing Ci

The servants in the palace didn't know who the guests were, but they all watched their words and expressions, watching the butler very attentively invite the distinguished guests into the little princess's Tangqing courtyard, while the butler himself stayed outside to wait for him.

The servants ran to Qin Jingyu's courtyard and told her the news he had inquired about. Qin Jingyu didn't know who the distinguished guest was, but after a while, the housekeeper invited her to treat the guests, saying that it was the noble concubine from the palace who had arrived.

She realized that the honored guest's status was not low, belatedly, she frowned, secretly annoyed, and after tidying up, she took people to Tangqingyuan.

It's just that she met Princess Ning'an as soon as she entered the courtyard, and she bowed her knees. She had already found out Wei Xiao's identity. Li, didn't bother to say some polite words, and walked straight into the house.

The servants in the courtyard were all standing, holding their breaths and concentrating on it. When they saw the two masters who had never shown their faces, they were shocked again and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Concubine Xiangui walked out after hearing the voice outside, her gaze skipped over Wei Xiao who was full of confusion, and landed on Qin Jingyu, she smiled faintly, "I am going out of the palace in a low-clothes today, even if I disturb the concubine Shizi No more."

Qin Jingyu's expression remained the same, and he bowed deeply to Concubine Xiangui: "Your Majesty is joking, Jing Yu is very happy that you came to the palace."

Zijin stood aside and didn't dare to show his anger. Princess Ning'an's expression was very bad. Following Xun Changqing, she gradually understood the character of this master. Now she moved to the side, looked at these people and said Some polite words.

Sure enough, after a few words, Wei Xiao became impatient, pushed the two of them away, and brought the doctor into the room by himself, while Qin Jingyu looked at her back, and couldn't help poking the fingertips in his sleeve into the palm of his hand After a while, he smiled again, and said with a clever smile: "Your Majesty, why don't you drink tea in the front hall. There are some good teas newly arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. Jing Yu knows that you are a master among them."

Concubine Xiangui smiled and nodded in agreement.

After the people left, Zijin returned to the house and walked into the house, taking the tea from the maid's hand by the way.

Wei Xiao did not come to the palace after Xun Changqing returned to Beijing. The two of them hadn't seen each other for several months. In her impression, Xun Changqing was still a heroic girl with sharp teeth, sharp eyebrows and tall eyes, but seeing her now also sighed. Except for a pair of watery peach blossom eyes with a little aura, the others seemed to be a different person.

Looking at the bowl of cold medicine soup, she suddenly understood a little bit that the noble concubine has a high position and power, and it is not appropriate to meddle in the affairs of the prince's backyard, but she is different, the two houses are separated, and her daughter is the master of Xun Changqing. As a member of her own family, she recalled the rumors about the Imperial Capital again, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she asked tentatively, "Is this medicine related to Xunyi?"

Calling Xun Yi's name directly in front of the juniors, Wei Xiao's courage and courage are unmatched, but her thoughts are indeed extraordinary, and her perception of Xun Yi is also extremely bad, otherwise she would not think that Xun Yi wanted to kill him. She, Xun Changqing shook her head violently, and explained: "It should have nothing to do with my father."

He said it should be, that is, he didn't know if Xun Yi was clean. Wei Xiao glanced at her, smiled coldly, and said, "There are a lot of unclean things in the backyard. Let the doctor show you. He is the doctor of my Wei family, he is no match for the imperial physician, but fortunately he is clean."

Xun Changqing saw that Wei Xiao's face was a little colder than Wei Lingci's, and he didn't dare to say no, he just nodded obediently, and stretched out his right hand to feel the pulse of the middle-aged man in front of him.

She was obedient and obedient, which made Wei Xiao startled. When she was tossed by the rumors outside these days and changed her temperament, she hesitated for a while, and comforted: "You can't believe the rumors outside, it will be fine in a few days."

Wei Xiao had a rare gentle attitude towards her. Xun Changqing was stunned for a while, not knowing why she had changed, and then heard the doctor say: "The little princess is weaker, her injuries are repeated, and she is anxious, just take it easy for a few days." .”

Wei Xiao knew that these were the doctor's perfunctory words, so she took the medicine on the table and put it in front of the doctor, saying, "Let's see if the medicine is normal."

The doctor hesitated for a while, knowing the rules of the big family, after taking it, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it a few times, his expression flickered, and he shook his head and said: "It's a good medicine, but I just added some medicine that shouldn't be added, I'm afraid it will backfire. , making the injury worse."

It is not uncommon to add other medicines to the original decoction. Every family in the imperial capital has this kind of strategy. Jin, invite your lords back, and leave the concubine Xiangui."

Wei Xiao actually forcibly kept Concubine Xian Gui, knowing that this matter was the mess she left on her, and now she can't let her face these monsters alone, so she hurried to the front hall with the doctor and Na Wan Tang Yao.

Xun Changqing in the room pursed the corners of his lips, as if there was a big trouble, but now it was Xun Yi and Qin Jingyu who had such a headache, it had nothing to do with her, she looked at the empty room, and she lay on the bed again, she needed to Only by cultivating your spirit can you face Xun Yi who came to test the truth.

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

People from the palace entered the palace twice in a row, disturbing Xun Yi, who couldn't feel at ease. Hearing the word Ning'an Princess, he felt even more irritable. He left the officials who were discussing government affairs, and rode back to the palace by himself.

There were a lot of servants standing outside the front hall, poking their heads, feeling nervous. When the butler saw the prince striding into the mansion, he rushed to greet him, explaining: "Something happened in the princess's yard. There is something wrong with the medicine. When the princess found out, she had to let Concubine Xian stay and investigate the matter."

The frontier incidents had disturbed him day and night, but now that the fire in the backyard happened again, Xun Yi felt more and more headaches, and then he replied stiffly, "What does the affairs in the palace have to do with her?"

Xun Yi's words were full of energy, and could be heard clearly from several feet away, the servants almost fled, but the few people sitting firmly in the hall heard every word, Concubine Xiangui unconsciously twitched in the first place At the corner of his mouth, he raised his teacup to cover up the smile on his lips.

But Qin Jingyu's pale face eased a little, and he got up to meet Xunyi.

Hearing these words, Wei Xiao's anger welled up in his chest. He cast a glance at Concubine Xian Gui who was watching the play, dropped his teacup, stood up, and the two cold eyes in his black pupils fell on Xun Yi's extremely ugly face. On his face, he said with displeasure: "The matter of the Pingnan Palace is your problem. It has nothing to do with your backyard burning. Your child is gone here."

Seeing Wei Xiao swearing not to give up, the housekeeper Yu Yin took a few steps back decisively, screened off a group of people, and stood outside the door himself, waiting for orders at any time.

Hearing Xun Changqing's name, Xun Yi's imposing manner became a little lower for no reason, and he turned to look at Qin Jingyu, "What's going on?"

Qin Jingyu shrank his shoulders in shock, his eyes darkened, and said in a low voice: "My daughter-in-law doesn't know either. The Princess took the doctor to the princess, and when he came out, he said there was something wrong with the medicine, and the rest of the daughter-in-laws didn't know either."

The words were pushed cleanly, and there was a cowardly look, making Concubine Xian put down the teacup, her expression turned slightly cold, Qin Jingyu did have some tricks, Xun Yi pitied her for losing her husband, and would not be demanding.

It's just that Wei Xiao walked up to her, sneered a few times, and said, "What does Shi Zifei mean, that I deliberately cheated?"

Xun Yi frowned, feeling strange in his heart, but Wei Xiao was not a vexatious person, and Qin Jingyu was too frightened to speak anymore, so he asked, "What does the doctor say, is the medicine poisonous?"

This question is a bit stupid. If there is no poison, why would she stand here and confront him? Wei Xiao sat back in his original position and said lightly: "I can't die, I can't live. If you take some more medicine, you can do it again in Pingnan Palace." It's a funeral, don't worry about the rumors outside, whether it's a concubine or a concubine, whether it's your own, it's better to prepare the coffin first."

She came from a deep palace, and she stayed beside the late emperor since she was a child, so she spoke with a sullen and contemptuous aura.

There were also rumors in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, but they have not spread to Tangqingyuan so far. Xun Yi thought that he would suppress the outside and would not let Xun Changqing know, but Wei Xiao reminded him that if this matter is not handled properly, there will only be endless disturbances , besides, Xun Changqing already knew about it.

Concubine Xiangui slowly interjected, "I don't care what the rumors are outside, but both things are aimed at Changqing. If you don't understand these things, the prince should share more snacks, after all, it is really difficult for a little girl who is not as good as she is to survive in the deep house without mother's protection."

Qin Jingyu stood there expressionless, but began to support the table beside her with his arms. This clearly meant that she used to be clean because there was only one master in the mansion, and she was the housekeeper. Now there are more of them, and the housekeeper is her again. , meaning she did it secretly.

"This king knows, but I only alarmed the noble concubine. This king is lax. How about I send someone to send you back to the palace?" Facing the two big Buddhas in front of him, Xun Yi really had a headache. He had to ask them to leave one by one first. It can solve the affairs of the mansion, after all, the family ugliness cannot be publicized.

Concubine Xian gave a gentle smile, stood up, took Wei Xiao's hand by the way, and said calmly: "Princess, the imperial chef from Jiangnan has been replaced in the palace, and the taste is not bad. Why don't you come into the palace with me, you may not see your majesty for a long time gone."

Wei Xiao knew that they would not be allowed to intervene if they continued to argue about this matter, so he just handed the medicine bowl to Xun Yi's hand, and said sarcastically, "My lord, if you can't cure your family, how can you govern the country?"

Xun Yi glanced at her, looking at the cold soup in the bowl, his eyes were so angry that he couldn't smash it, and when he turned around, he almost bumped into Zi Jin who was walking hurriedly. He knew this person, he was Chang Qing's close friend Maid, he suppressed his anger and said coldly, "What are you doing here again?"

"My servant is here to deliver the medicine residue. I just came from the kitchen. Fortunately, my servant left quickly, otherwise the medicine residue would have been dumped." Zi Jin hurriedly placed the medicine residue on the table, and turned back to Tangqing hospital.

If it seems nervous, in fact there is something in the words, the medicine residue may be destroyed.Xun Yi felt more and more restless in the backyard, so he called the housekeeper and handed him the medicine bowl, his anger could no longer be restrained, "This king said, you should pay more attention to Chang Qing, now that the medicine is poisoned, you don't even know it." I know, Yu Yin, you have been a housekeeper for so many years, do you think this king is too kind?"

The fire at the city gate brought disaster to the fish in the pond, and it was Yu Yin who was talking about it. He glanced at Qin Jingyu, who was still at ease, and said, "My lord, now the backyard is not in my charge, and you can't blame me. I'm in charge of the front yard. Error."

At this point, Qin Jingyu couldn't stand anymore, he didn't expect Yu Yin to be so old and cunning, he was annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to explode at this moment, so he stepped forward and said: "Father, this is the daughter-in-law's fault, right? , will investigate clearly and give Changqing an explanation."

Concubine Xian's words just now had hints, Xun Yi is not a fool, so he naturally understands the reason, but he hasn't found out yet, so it's hard to say anything, but his tone is a bit colder, "You don't need to check, the king will check it himself, you still take care of it Wangfu, Changqing is a concubine or a concubine, if this king hears anyone say it again, he will pull out the root of his tongue."

It's not that he doesn't know some things, but that he is unable to take care of them. Now he is provoked by Wei Xiao, even if he doesn't have time, he still has to take time to take care of them.

After he gave the order for a week, he saw that it was still early, so he went to Tangqing Court alone.

At that time, before Xun Changqing took a nap, he wandered around the yard for a week and listened to a few gossips from his servants.

The two maids hid in the corner and took the time to enjoy the cool, and one of them said: "I want to go out to see my mother, but the Shizifei doesn't let us people from Tangqingyuan go out. You think our princess has messed with her, and it's fine to detain our belongings." No, we won’t even give it out.”

"It's nothing if we don't let us go out. The little general who escorted the princess back a few days ago didn't let in. He said that the idlers would not let us enter the mansion at will. He probably deceived our princess to ignore things and was sick. By the way, you have to go out. Go to the government to ask the princess, she will agree to you."

"Forget it, don't make trouble for her, the doctor said to take good care of her, you said that she is not a concubine, and she is not a concubine, and I feel embarrassed in the mansion. People step on it at will and no one cares..."

"Hush...don't talk about it, the prince won't talk about it. If you want to go out to find sister Zijin, she will sometimes go out of the house to do errands. It's not a big deal to bring you along."

After they got up, they patted the dust behind them, walked into the house again, and then went to work.

Xun Yi's expression changed, at this moment Zi Jin came out and leaned over to invite him in.

Xun Changqing just woke up, his face was pale, and his long hair was scattered on his shoulders before he combed it. After putting on his coat, he went out of the back room, looked at Xun Yi, his eyes were startled, and he smiled lightly and said, "What are you doing?" Come on, aren't you busy coming back today?"

Smiling faintly, eyes filled with obvious joy, Xun Yi looked at the corners of her pale lips, felt jerky, stroked her head lovingly, and sighed: "Your temperament is really like your mother."

Xun Changqing's heart skipped a beat, and he swayed as soon as he got up from the bed, his face turned even paler, "What do you mean? You are willing to say it, my daughter thinks that her mother should be a shameless woman."

The slight resentment made Xun Yi obviously stunned. Facing the rumors outside, he would become a Buddha without resentment. He said helplessly: "There is nothing to say, but I am afraid that it will cause you trouble. Now if you want to know, dad will tell you everything." .”
