Dressed as Concubine Xian [Comprehensive Yanxi Palace]

On the great sacrifice day once a month, Prince Yi smuggled salt into the Kunning Palace to offend his ancestors despite being a nobleman.

The ladies in the palace were puzzled when they had time to gossip about this matter: Prince Yi was highly valued by the emperor, and even though he had done several big missions, he would actually do something with salt in it. Instead, he was the absurd prince known both inside and outside the palace. When offering sacrifices to ancestors, there is no overstepping the rules...

Cough!

Hearing my aunt's cough, the Xinzheku court ladies who were gossiping in low voices hurriedly shut up.

The aunt raised her head obsequiously, and said to She Shuxian who was on patrol: "Concubine Xian, these girls were sent by Xin Zheku, there are no rules, the servants will go now—"

"Fangmin's mouth is stronger than Fangchuan's. What's more, Prince Yi did do something to sprinkle salt on the meat. It's normal for the court ladies to discuss in private."

She Shuxian spared the lady-in-waiting, asked the aunt in charge to step down, and said to Zhen'er: "Prince Yi, who is so cautious, would violate the ancestral precepts during the sacrifice, I really can't see it!"

"From the perspective of a slave, he has suffered retribution!"

Zhen'er only has her master in her heart, so she naturally doesn't like Prince Yi who sent Naerbu to prison to suffer.

When I heard that Prince Yi was punished for taking salt, I didn't know how happy I was.

She Shuxian saw her innocent smile, although she liked it in her heart, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

I don't know how Rong Wan's preparations are going, I hope she can enter the palace smoothly and become my help...

She Shuxian thought sadly.

At this time, footsteps suddenly sounded ahead, She Shuxian raised her head and saw Concubine Yu and Prince He.

She Shuxian quickly saluted Concubine Yu.

Concubine Yu is a kind person who eats vegetarian food and pays respects to the Buddha. She smiled and asked She Shuxian to get up, and allowed her to accompany her to visit the Imperial Garden.

She Shuxian said: "The concubine is in a good mood today."

Concubine Yu smiled and said, "Concubine Xian is also in a good mood."

"Concubine Tai, what you said is disrespecting the courtiers and concubines."

She Shuxian said in a low voice, her face was full of shame.

Seeing this, Prince He said in a friendly manner, "Emiang, why don't you imitate the Queen Mother and embarrass Concubine Xian."

"What, you blame me?"

Concubine Yu pretended to be angry.

He and the prince could only change their words and apologize.

Concubine Yu really loved her son, seeing this, she no longer blamed her, and the three of them sat down together in the gazebo.

She Shuxian saw that the way Prince He looked at her was a bit unusual, so she excused that the koi carp was cute, so Zhen'er got some bait for the fish, held it in her palm, and fed it slowly, trying to avoid the gaze of Prince He.

Prince He took the initiative to walk to her side: "Concubine Xian, I heard that you have been inquiring about a court lady named Aman recently?"

"Why, Prince He also knows about Aman?"

She Shuxian pretended to be calm and said that the [-] points promised by the system was more attractive to her than being a queen.

He Prince said: "Aman broke the rules and was expelled from the palace, it is no longer a secret in the Forbidden City."

"So, did the prince admit it?"

She Shuxian turned around and questioned the prince.

She didn't speak to the prince, but Concubine Yu stood up and said angrily, "Concubine Xian, what do you mean!"

"I……"

When She Shuxian was about to answer, Prince He had already turned around, and said to Concubine Yu: "Emiang, if my son has something selfish, I would like to tell Concubine Xian, please let Emiang do it."

"you……"

Concubine Yu doted on her son after all, even though her eyes were full of distrust towards She Shuxian, she still turned around reluctantly, and said to the two: "Speak quickly if you have anything, don't let gossip spread in the palace! "

"My son understands."

Prince He thanked Concubine Yu, and said to She Shuxian: "Concubine Xian, do you already know that I broke into the Imperial Garden the night Aman's accident happened?"

"Yes, Prince He, you left the palace banquet on the pretext of being drunk on the night of Aman's accident, changed into Fu Heng's guard uniform and went to the Royal Garden, and was later found by Prince Yi? Is there such a thing?"

It was a matter of [-] points, and She Shuxian didn't care about the dignity of the court, so she spoke directly.

He said to the prince: "Concubine Xian is quite right. That night, I did leave the palace banquet under the pretext of being drunk, put on a bodyguard uniform and went to the Imperial Garden, and was later found by Prince Yi. But I did not go to the Imperial Garden to insult Aman -"

"Hong Zhou!"

Concubine Yu made a shrill sound.

Prince He said to Concubine Yu: "Emiang, Concubine Xian is not an outsider, she will not casually reveal her son's secret!"

"But she—"

"Emiang, you just trust your son this time!"

He and the prince showed a pleading look.

Concubine Yu had no choice but to say, "I will go over there to see the scenery."

After finishing speaking, he took a group of palace people and left Prince He and She Shuxian far away.

Seeing his mother walking away, Prince He said to She Shuxian, "Concubine Xian, if I said that I was not the one who insulted Aman that night, would you believe me?"

"I believe," She Shuxian said, "Aman is dead, whether you admit it or not, there is no proof of this matter."

"Aman is dead..."

And the prince showed a shocked expression.

She Shuxian saw that his surprised expression did not seem to be fake, and she was even more sure that there was something hidden about Aman.

She said to Prince He, "Prince He, why did you go to the Imperial Garden that day?"

"For...for..."

And the prince hesitated again.

She Shuxian didn't force him, but waited quietly.

After thinking about it with the prince, he finally made a decision, saying: "That day, I went to the Imperial Garden to see the owner of the jade pendant."

Master of the jade pendant!

There was a rumbling in She Shuxian's mind.

And the prince continued to talk.

"Over the years, I have always wanted to see the owner of the jade pendant again, wondering how she is doing now, and whether she still remembers that silly little beggar. After Prince Yi found out about this, he told me that he was with the emperor at the When I was walking in the Imperial Garden, I accidentally saw a court lady wearing the jade pendant I gave you back then. After hearing what Prince Yi said, I wanted to meet the court lady wearing the jade pendant to confirm how the lady was doing, so I begged Yi With the help of the prince, he finally made the ridiculous move on the day of the palace banquet."

"Then have you ever done anything out of bounds to Miss Aman in the imperial garden?"

She Shuxian is more concerned about this one.

After all, no one wants their crush and future collaborator to be an extremely low QJF. Even if he has the status of a prince, he cannot change the low point of being a QJF.

He and the prince don't have so many thoughts, but seeing that the person he has a crush on thinks he is a QJF, it is inevitable that he wants to explain.

"I don't have one," he said decisively, "Aman is just a court lady. If I really want her, I can just tell Brother Huang directly. There is no need to sneak into the imperial garden late at night to offend Tianwei and lose my head." matter!"

"But you did go to the Imperial Garden that day, and then someone picked up Aman's blood-stained skirt in the Imperial Garden."

She Shuxian questioned the prince.

He Prince was questioned face to face by her, but he didn't refute. He just asked, "Are you willing to believe me?"

She Shuxian said: "I believe that you are not mad enough to act like a beast against a court lady you have never met."

"thank you for trusting me."

Prince He looked at She Shuxian and said, "Thinking about what happened that night, I still have a lot of doubts. Although I don't know what regulations there are in the embroidery workshop, there must be no regulations that allow the maids of the embroidery workshop to hang out in the imperial garden late at night. But that day When I arrived at the Imperial Garden, Miss Aman was already fainting on the ground, her skirt was stained with blood. My reputation was absurd, and I was equally terrified when I saw such a thing. At this moment, Prince Yi appeared and said me... said me... ..."

"Did he say you insulted Miss Aman?"

Prince He nodded heavily, and said: "I was flustered at the time, and I just wanted to settle this matter quickly, and even forgot the purpose of coming to the Imperial Garden. But now that I think about it, there are indeed doubts everywhere."

"Then the prince thinks, who did this?"

She Shuxian asked the prince back.

Prince He said: "I don't dare to speculate, I can only confirm that Prince Yi must be one of the insiders. I came to the Royal Garden because of him. When I found Miss Aman in the Royal Garden, he was also the first to appear. I leave immediately."

"Indeed, Prince Yi is very suspicious..."

She Shuxian originally suspected that Prince Yi was not a good person and had a close relationship with Concubine Gao. Now that she has the testimony of Prince He, she is more certain about her guess.

"...So during this sacrifice, I saw that there was something wrong with the maid who delivered the meat to Prince Yi, but she didn't say anything."

He and the prince showed off quite proudly.

She Shuxian couldn't help laughing when she saw Prince He showing her childish side again.

Prince He looked straight at her smile, and suddenly said: "Concubine Xian, you look beautiful when you smile, you should smile more."

"Unfortunately, the emperor doesn't like me."

She Shuxian made a distressed look, turned around, looked at the pond full of koi, and said: "The harem is like this pond, comfortable and exquisite, but there will never be a chance to leave."

"It's my fault. If I could have found you earlier and asked Huang Ama to give us a marriage, you wouldn't have to..."

He Prince was agitated for a while, and said disobedient words.

When She Shuxian heard this, she hurriedly stopped him, saying: "My lord, you can't chase after the past, let's take pity on the person in front of you!"

"Pity the person in front of me? But you are the only one in front of me."

Said with the prince stupidly, as if he didn't realize that he was doing something to deceive the king.

She Shuxian sighed, and said: "My lord, it was a bit windy just now, I didn't hear a word of what you said, I'm really sorry."

"No, I'm too...too...too..."

He was always eloquent when defending in front of the queen mother, the emperor's brother and others, but at this moment, looking at She Shuxian, he was suddenly so clumsy that he couldn't even utter a single sentence.

The author has something to say:

In the Qing Dynasty, the officials who participated in the sacrificial ceremony couldn’t eat gizzard meat, so they would spend money to ask eunuchs to put straw paper soaked in soy sauce and other condiments under the gizzard meat, which would not be as conspicuous as the smuggling of salt in Yanxi Palace~ By the way, gizzard The meat is really hard to eat~
