[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

Wei Rong's face was full of shock, his gaze passed over Yin Rong's shoulder, and he saw the person behind him again.

It was Yinzhen, who looked at her equally in surprise, but quickly looked away.

Wei Rong suddenly came to her senses and jumped down quickly, the rock covered her soaked clothes.

The atmosphere is a bit awkward, especially in the distance there is a dying background board.

"Help! Help!"

The murderer fluttered with pride.

The prince looked up, and ordered the little eunuch behind him, "Rescue the man first."

The two young eunuchs got into the water, half dragged and dragged the man ashore.

From the clothes, the two knew that this was a concubine. The clothes in Xia Tian were thin, it was really not easy to lose face, and the two were clever. They dragged the man ashore, but they didn't get him up, they just let him lie on the bank , like Wei Rong, most of his body was submerged in water.

The "murderer" escaped from death, hugging the big stone, tears streaming down his face.

When she was struggling in the water, her bun and hairpin rings had long been scattered, and now her hair is disheveled, her eyebrows and eyes are crying together, and the worst thing is that the nosebleeds can't stop, making her face full of embarrassment, like a female ghost who just came out of the water.

Yinfeng turned his head after taking a look, it's too hot!

He looked at the one in front of him again, a small face as plain as a lotus in water, with big eyes staring round and round, as cute as a deer.

There are still a few red spots on the pink cheeks, which makes it regrettable to destroy the perfection of this face, but it also adds two points of playfulness.

Take a closer look, isn't it the royal father's new favorite Wei Shi?

Yinfeng smiled, "What's wrong with you?"

Wei Rong was helpless, "I accidentally fell into the water, thank you His Royal Highness for helping me."

Now she desperately hoped that Yinfeng would wink and leave quickly, and leave a eunuch to help them deal with the aftermath.

But Yinfeng didn't have this awareness, "It's just a trivial matter, no need to thank you, but why did you suddenly fall into the water?"

Please, there is no need for your highness to worry about the inside story!Wei Rong went crazy.

Fortunately, Yinzhen winked at the back, stepped forward and coughed lightly: "Your Highness, the Grand Master Sun Tai in the front hall is still waiting for us."

Yinrong came to his senses, glanced at Wei Rong reluctantly, turned around and told the two young eunuchs: "You two stay here and wait for Wei Changzai to order."

The two young eunuchs quickly took orders.

Yinfeng glanced at Wei Rong again, then turned and left.

On the way, there was a smile on his lips, this Wei family...

I remember when we met for the first time, it was in Xi Concubine's Palace, and I was also a person who was overturned, climbing walls and climbing the house, but this time I fell into the water again, and there were such mischievous and funny concubines in the palace.He also said that a talented woman from the south of the Yangtze River who is proficient in calligraphy and painting is like a child.

Thinking of the glimpse just now, the slender waist and bulging chest made people think endlessly, and he was no longer a child.

Thinking of the figure outlined under the thin summer clothes, his heart felt slightly warm.

***

There were two young eunuchs passing on the news, and Yufu and the others came in a hurry with their cloaks.

Wei Rong quickly returned to Changchun Palace, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.

Just after drinking a bowl of hot ginger soup, another eunuch came over and summoned her to talk to Yonghe Palace.

This was also expected by Wei Rong.

Went to Yonghe Palace, the banquet just ended.

Some concubines came out and pointed at Wei Rong when they saw Wei Rong.

There are really no secrets in this palace, news spreads fast!

Originally thought that this incident happened in the Yonghe Palace, and it was normal to leave it to Concubine De to deal with it, but I didn't expect Kangxi to be there when I entered the hall.

Wei Rong was taken aback.Looking back, Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan were also in charge.

The standards of these three joint trials are also too high.

Kangxi was visiting the fifteenth elder brother in the Yonghe Palace, and when he heard about it, he stayed for questioning.

Wei Rong turned her head to look again, and three steps away was the one who pushed herself into the water, kneeling in the hall, although she had tidied up, she still looked embarrassed.

Wei Rong has already recognized that she is a regular presence in Duan Concubine's Palace, her surname seems to be Liu, and she had spoken a few words at the banquet before.Why did he attack him this time? It's self-evident, probably because of his son's petting.

She raised her handkerchief as usual and saluted: "My maidservants see the emperor, and ladies and gentlemen." Then she stood beside her.

Concubine Duan frowned, "Why don't you kneel down?"

Wei Rong smiled calmly, "The servant did not do anything wrong, why bother to kneel down and plead guilty?"

Liu Changzai, who was kneeling next to him, immediately felt uncomfortable. He wanted to get up, but he couldn't find an excuse.

Kangxi looked at the two of them, and asked calmly, "What's going on?"

Liu Changzai covered his eyes with a brocade handkerchief, and cried out first: "Your maidservant is unlucky today, please ask your majesty and empress to learn from you..."

After listening to Liu Changzai's words, Kangxi looked at Wei Rong, "Ms. Liu said that you were greedy for the scenery and fell off the bridge, but when she went to pull you, you were pulled off. Is that so?"

Wei Rong smiled, Liu Changzai's statement was in her expectation, and she was not stupid enough to say that she pushed her down.After all, there was no motive for the crime at all.

She said bluntly: "That's not the case, I was pushed down by Liu Changzai, but when I fell, I reacted quickly, grabbed her sleeve, and threw her into the river."

Liu Changzai's eyes widened, and he pointed at Wei Rong with the anger of being wronged, "You...you spout blood! Do you have any evidence?" She made up her mind, but there was no one around at that time, so she couldn't testify at all.

"Your Majesty, I know how to swim. If I accidentally fall, I can just swim to the shore. Why drag others into the water?"

Liu Changzai argued, "Who would have thought of this when the water flowed under the bridge and lives were at stake."

Wei Rong pressed her step by step, "Since you said you wanted to save me, then it should be you who grabbed my clothes. Why don't you tell me where you grabbed me?"

Clothes in this era are made of pure silk and cotton, without the addition of later generations of chemical fiber materials, so they are very fragile, and there will be traces after being torn by force.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Liu Chang became wise in a hurry, "I... grabbed your hair at that time."

Wei Rong smiled, "If so, there must be a scar on my head. Your Majesty might as well ask someone to come and verify it. Instead, it was your abdomen. When I pulled you down, you bumped into the head of the handrail beast while struggling. It must have hurt a lot." Bar."

Liu Changzai's expression changed.

Kangxi said with a sullen face, "What is the truth about this matter? I will deal with it leniently. If you still insist on your own opinions, I will hand it over to the Department of Punishment to find out."

Liu Changzai was trembling and handed over to the Punishment Department, which meant that his status would be abolished and his crime punished.At that time, I was afraid that life would be worse than death, but if I stubbornly refused to plead guilty, would I be able to get rid of the crime?

For a moment, it seemed that all eyes were on her.

The atmosphere became more and more oppressive, and soon, she couldn't bear it and collapsed.

Seeing Liu Changzai who knelt on the ground and kowtowed, weeping bitterly, Wei Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this Liu Changzai is a weak chicken, and then he thought, she is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and her psychological quality cannot be so strong.And those vicious and insidious methods in Gongdouwen need enough manpower and power to deploy, which is not something a small Chang Zai can achieve.

In the process of pleading guilty and begging, she even confessed clearly the motive of the crime.

It turned out that Liu Chang was considered a favorite a few days ago, and he stayed in bed two or three days a month. Hearing that Wei Rong was valued by the emperor because of painting, she thought that she was also good at painting, so she imitated the easel brush and ink. His work was read by Kangxi, not only did not flatter him, but blamed him a few words.The palace people also ridiculed her for being a mere imitator, with a false name.

I hated Wei Rong in my heart, this time when I went back to the palace, I happened to see Wei Rong standing by the bridge with no one around.

"The servant girl is really obsessed with ghosts, I beg the emperor to forgive me..."

Kangxi showed a disgusted expression, didn't even look at her, turned to look at Concubine De, "What do you think should be done?"

Concubine De said plainly, "It's a big mistake for Mrs. Liu to commit such jealousy. According to the palace rules, she should be abolished and her position should be abolished, and she should be thrown into the cold palace."

"Then the Liu family will be abolished and handed over to Concubine Duan to take care of him and punish him." Kangxi originally wanted to put him in the cold palace, but he had already said that he would be lenient for confession, so he took a step back and dealt with it like this.

Concubine Duan hurriedly knelt on the ground, "It's all concubines who are not strict in teaching, and they will be punished severely in the future to maintain a strict atmosphere."

Mrs. Liu collapsed on the ground, her face was ashen.

To abolish her status means that she is no longer a concubine, but a maid of honor, and still a servant in the original palace. This kind of treatment is no different from being in the cold palace.Especially if it was unpopular before, it will only be worse.

Two strong maids stepped forward and dragged Mrs. Liu out.

Concubine Duan felt ashamed, so she also resigned.

Kangxi looked at Wei Rong and complained: "You are too careless."

Wei Rong hurriedly lowered her head and said: "I am ashamed of my servants, it is the emperor who is wise and powerful, and the empresses of Virtuous Concubine and Concubine Rong are discerning and uphold justice for my servants."

Do not wear flattery.

Kangxi thanked him gratefully, and asked, "Then this time we have learned a lesson."

Wei Rong nodded again and again, "I have learned my lesson. No wonder the ancients said that three people don't hug trees, two people don't look at wells, and sit alone and don't lean on railings. This is the mistake made by slaves."

Kangxi laughed when she said it, "This can be related to the words of the ancients, you have such a small head, you think so."

Did you make a mistake?There is no need to laugh so exaggeratedly.Wei Rong quietly looked at his face, making sure that he was in a good mood, and took the opportunity to say: "Speaking of which, this time I fell into the water, thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the fourth elder brother who passed by and called the little eunuch to help, called Only the maids who come to slaves will be safe."

Kangxi hummed, apparently he knew the news a long time ago.

Wei Rong deliberately brought this matter to the fore, in order to prevent someone from making a fuss about it in the future and causing future troubles.

Concubine De smiled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been benevolent, and Yinzhen can do good deeds every day by following him, making great progress."

Kangxi nodded, "He is also willing to make progress."

That's how it was revealed.

Kangxi wanted to say something else, but at this moment, a nurse in charge came in and hurriedly knelt down to report.

"Your Majesty, Elder Brother Fifteen spit up some milk just now, and the nobleman wants to invite an imperial physician."

Kangxi still cared about the child, so he said immediately, "I'll go and have a look."

Then he turned his head and told Wei Rong, "You have also been frightened a lot today, go back and rest earlier."

Wei Rong took the opportunity to leave.

***

Out of the Yonghe Palace, once again walked to the bridge.Her eyes were dark.

I have experienced a real palace fight today, although the technical content is not high.

Alas, fortunately, most of the hostesses are no longer in this circle.They are mainly fighting for children and power, and they don't bother to get involved in the competition of these little concubines.

Fortunately, Kangxi's harem is now basically in an environment where chickens peck at each other.

With his own means, coupled with Goldfinger, he can still handle it.

Speaking of which, going further along the river was the place where the two met.

Wei Rong walked downstream along the water.

It was also the way back to Changchun Palace, Yufu only thought that she wanted to see the scenery of the imperial garden, and did not become suspicious.

Not long after the master and the servant left, Wei Rong stopped and looked ahead in surprise.

There were many more people by the originally secluded river.More than a dozen young eunuchs were standing in the river with their trouser legs rolled up, some holding fishing nets and some holding shovels, digging at the bottom of the river.The originally deep river was only about half a person high, so it should have been blocked upstream.

"What is this doing?" Wei Rong approached and asked.

The eunuch who was leading the construction was an eunuch in charge of the imperial garden. Seeing Wei Rong's luxurious clothes, he hurriedly saluted, "Master, a seal fell into the river the day before yesterday, and the servants are being ordered to dig it."

If someone else lost something, Wei Rong would not be suspicious. When she heard the name Big Brother, her heart sank.

The meeting between myself and Yinzhen by the river was indeed too hasty!Fortunately, every time she goes to an appointment, she starts cheating early.

Yufu smelled the silt at the bottom of the river, and whispered, "Master, it's very dirty here, so don't bump into you."

Wei Rong covered her nose with a silk handkerchief pretending to be calm, took two steps back, turned and left.

At night, she tossed and turned, and made up her mind that her golden finger should not be used unless necessary.

***

This night, there was another person who was also unable to sleep.

After receiving the news that the elder brother was digging the river, Yinzhen almost crushed the teacup in his hand.

Xiao Shengzi lowered his head, a servant as close as he was, naturally knew that the "thing" his master was obsessed with lived in that river.

Yinzhen pondered for a moment with an ugly expression, then suddenly raised his head and said, "This month is the 26th, is it Guo Luoluo's birthday?"

It took Xiao Shengzi a moment to realize that he was talking about the fiancée who died young.

Yinzhen's eyes were heavy, "Prepare the sacrifice, and on that day I will go to the memorial hall to sacrifice to the spirit."

There have long been rumors in the palace that he fell into the water for his fiancée who died young, why not let this rumor ferment.Including my own behavior of wandering by the river a few days ago, there are also explanations.

The crisis he brought to her is now helpless.He could only use these indirect methods to cover up her existence.

Xiao Shengzi took the order and went down to prepare things.

Standing in front of the table, Yinzhen opened the painting that he had drawn for a long time but was still unfinished.

In this life, can he see her again?
