[Red Mansion] Married by decree

Seeing Yunze's movements, Zhen Ruolian's smile froze for a moment, and then she said, "My lord, can I speak for a while?" She looked around while speaking.

"No need, if Miss Zhen doesn't want to talk, I will leave first."

Yunze had no intention of finding a more private place to talk, and actually planned to leave after speaking.Seeing that his master was about to leave, Quan De, who had been following Yun Ze, followed him.

"My lord, please stay still. Ruolian is also afraid that others will listen to it, so she wants to find a quiet place." Zhen Ruolian would not let Yunze leave, so she hurriedly said, "Since your lord is unwilling, it is the same for Ruolian to say here." .”

Seeing Yunze's listening intently, Zhen Ruolian thought for a while before she opened her mouth: "This matter is related to Miss Lin's natal Rongguo Mansion. The prince also knows that the relationship between Rongguo Mansion and Miss Lin is not good."

Zhen Ruolian stopped at this point, she looked up at Yun Ze with charming eyes.There are too many people like Yunze who want to seduce him. He is naturally familiar with Zhen Ruolian's eyes, so familiar that he completely ignores them.

"Girl continue."

"My Zhen family is family friends with the Rongguo Mansion, and I have no acquaintances in the palace, so I am naturally close to Concubine Xiande. A few days ago, Concubine Xiande suddenly asked my servant to help her find some cinnamon powder."

"Cinnamon?" Yunze seems to have heard of something like cinnamon, but he doesn't know what it is. The name sounds like something to eat.

"My lord doesn't know that cinnamon is a traditional Chinese medicine, but it is not suitable for pregnant women to eat, because there is a risk of miscarriage."

"According to what you mean, Concubine Xiande wants to use Yuegui to frame my future concubine?"

"My lord is sage, but Concubine Xiande has such a plan. I heard from Concubine Xiande that Miss Lin had an affair with Rongguo Mansion, and they were afraid that she would deal with Rongguo Mansion after she became a princess, so they planned to strike first."

"Concubine Xiande has a heart-to-heart relationship with you, and will tell you all these things."

"She told my daughter to help me because she wanted my daughter's help." After hearing Yunze's sarcasm, Zhen Ruolian quickly clarified that if Yunze didn't believe her, she would have lost all her achievements: "Concubine Xiande once promised that if my daughter would help me If she is successful, she will definitely help the courtier's daughter become... the prince's concubine."

Zhen Ruolian hesitated for a long time, then took another deep look at Yunze, her eyes turned from struggling to firm, and finally she said it as if she was going all out.

"Oh?" Yunze's tone rose, and even the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Zhen Ruolian looked at him and was slightly absent-minded: "Then why did Miss Zhen come over and tell this king? In this way, you will have no chance to become a princess. .”

"Because I like the prince, and I don't want him to be affected in any way by this matter."

Zhen Ruolian clenched her fists tightly in front of her chest, and her voice was even louder like a roar.She fixed her eyes on Yunze, as if she wanted to see his reaction, but immediately lowered her head after shouting.Zhen Ruolian's ears turned red, obviously shy.

Yun Ze was taken aback by Zhen Ruolian's bold words.This was the first time a woman said she liked him in front of him, and she felt very shocked, but unfortunately there was nothing but shock.

"Before the girl framed this king's concubine, it was also because she liked this king?"

"I don't want to, but the lord has always been indifferent to me. I just want to arouse the interest of the lord. I really didn't intend to do that." Zhen Ruolian bit her lips tightly, her head lowered, she The voice was actually full of grievances.

"I know I'm sorry for Miss Lin, but I...I..." Zhen Ruolian actually cried when she said this.

"Thank you Miss Zhen for coming to tell me that I will deal with this matter myself." Yun Ze turned around and took Quande away after saying that, not paying any attention to Zhen Ruolian's tears. In the harem, the most worthless thing is tears .

Zhen Ruolian looked at Li Que Yunze's back and smiled, it was a pure smile without any calculation.In this imperial palace, rewards are indispensable, not to mention the rewards for such informants as myself.

But Prince Anshun didn't give him a reward when he left, which can explain a lot of problems.Zhen Ruolian felt that Yunze might not love her yet, but from the very beginning, she was already different from him.As long as I work harder, I will definitely win his heart.

"My lord?" Before Yunze left, Quan De was surprised to find that his lord actually smiled.His prince was always smiling, but this smile didn't reach his eyes.Now, he actually smiled sincerely.

"Huh? Let's go."

Just looking at Zhen Ruolian's appearance just now, a small figure suddenly flashed in Yun Ze's mind, his face can't be remembered clearly, only remembering that figure seemed to have the same expression at that time.He was obviously terrified, but stubbornly stood in front of him.

It's been too long, so long that Yunze can't remember most of the details.But I still remember the sound of "little brother", the temperature of my palm in the dark, and that promise, my own promise.

On that day, the people in the Yunze Mansion gave Zhao Ye something. The things were not expensive, but there was something strange about them. Zhao Ye was confused.

What contained the things was an exquisitely crafted gold-scented ebony brocade box, which was carefully held by the sender.At first Zhao Ye thought it was something priceless, but when he opened it, he was dumbfounded.

The contents of that box are so commonplace that everyone needs them.The box turned out to be full of salt, and on the top was something like bark.

After Zhao Ye got it, he really couldn't see what Yunze was going to do, so he poured out all the things in the box.I thought there was something hidden in the salt, but it turned out that there was really only salt.

Then, Zhao Ye took the box and studied it for a long time, and determined that it was just an ordinary box that couldn't be more ordinary.There are no words on the bottom and body of the box, and of course there is no interlayer.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Zhao happened to come to visit Zhao Ye in the study, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw coarse white grains on her husband's desk.And the husband himself is sweeping the coarse grains into an exquisite brocade box with his hands.

"Madam is here."

After Zhao Ye just said this, he continued with his own work, and when the coarse grains had been swept in, he placed the bark-like thing on top of it.Although the placement is different from before, the difference is not that big.

"Master... why did you put the salt and cinnamon in the brocade box?"

Seeing that his wife looked at him very strangely, Zhao Ye quickly clarified: "This is from the prince."

"Sent by the prince?" Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao frowned and looked thoughtful.The Yunze in Zhao's impression is definitely not someone who is so boring that he sends salt and cinnamon to tease people.Just looking at the things in the brocade box, Mrs. Zhao didn't know Yunze's intentions.

"My lord, why don't I ask my concubine to give the brocade box to Yu'er for a look. Since the prince sent it here, there must be a deep meaning. Although you and I don't understand the deep meaning, maybe Yu'er knows."

After thinking for a long time, Mrs. Zhao didn't understand what Yunze was going for, so she proposed to give the brocade box to Daiyu to have a look.Perhaps the salt and cinnamon were the secret code between the two.

"Madam is right, the prince will definitely not send hints that no one can understand."

After saying that, Zhao Ye closed the brocade box again, and handed it to his wife.Mrs. Zhao took the brocade box and walked towards Daiyu's yard.It is definitely not a trivial matter to be able to trouble the prince to send such hints.

When Mrs. Zhao arrived, Daiyu was copying Buddhist scriptures. Daiyu was not in a hurry when she saw Mrs. Zhao come over, writing was the most urgent thing, otherwise the whole paper might have to be copied again.After finishing writing the word in her hand, Daiyu put the brush in her hand on the grid.

The pen Daiyu uses is not the lower case Langhao pen that she usually uses when writing petty script, but the Chinese regular script and the brush that she doesn't use much.

"Yu'er is copying Buddhist scriptures?"

"Grandma Yi's birthday is approaching, and Yu'er has nothing to give. Thinking that Grandma Yi believes in Buddhism, she simply copied some Buddhist scriptures and gave them to Grandma Yi as a token of her affection."

"You really have a heart." On the piece of paper Daiyu was writing, the handwriting was very neat. It is obvious that the person who copied it was serious, and even specially used Chinese script to make it easier for the elderly to read.

"My mother-in-law is here at this time, is there something wrong?"

"My lord sent someone to bring something over. Neither your Yifu nor I understood what it meant, so I showed it to you."

After saying that, Mrs. Zhao handed the brocade box to Daiyu, and Daiyu asked Youlan to put away the things on the table, and then put the brocade box on the table, looking at the box full of salt and a piece of bark, Daiyu Also froze for a moment.

"Salt? The lord is referring to Concubine Xiande." As she spoke, Daiyu wrapped her hands in a handkerchief, and picked up the piece of bark: "Mother, do you know what this is?"

Daiyu really didn't know the bark-like thing, so she asked Mrs. Zhao.

"This is cinnamon, a traditional Chinese medicine. It's not surprising that Yu'er doesn't know about it."

"Madam Yi, Miss, You Lan remembers that if you eat too much cinnamon, you will have a miscarriage." It was You Lan who first thought of the taboo of cinnamon.Regardless of whether his guess was right or not, he directly told Daiyu and Zhao Shi.

"This virtuous concubine actually wants to..." Mrs. Zhao obviously guessed what Yun Ze meant, and looked at Dai Yu uncertainly.After all, they are cousins, so this is too vicious.

"I'm afraid it's the same as what Yimu thinks. Let's not hide it from Yimu, Yu'er almost fell for Concubine Xiande last time, and has avoided her several times since then."

"Yu'er, what are you going to do?"

"Yu'er doesn't have any evidence in his hands. I'm afraid the prince came to warn you because he knew something. He probably doesn't have any evidence. Otherwise, he wouldn't just warn Yu'er."

"There are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, how can there be those who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. If Concubine Xiande intends to harm you, I'm afraid it will be impossible to guard against."

Mrs. Zhao looked at Daiyu with some concern, she couldn't follow Daiyu when she entered the palace, even if she knew that Concubine Xiande wanted to plot against her, it would be too late for her.Even if Xiangzhu followed behind, she was still worried.

"Yu'er thinks so too. In this matter, we can't sit still, we can only take the initiative to attack. Tomorrow Yu'er will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother."

Daiyu lowered her head and thought for a while, but still felt that this matter should not be too passive, and the sooner the better.He entered the palace several times, but Jia Yuanchun didn't find a chance to make a move, probably because he was in a hurry.

Now I am afraid that I have thought of other ways to deal with myself, but the prince noticed it because of his actions.It is the best policy for me to be unexpected, so that she does not have too much time to prepare.

If she was well prepared, even if I knew in advance that she was going to plot against me, I would inevitably fall into her ways.So Daiyu decided to take action tomorrow, and this matter should be done sooner rather than later.

When it comes to entering the palace, it is not a simple matter at first sight. Even those wives have to hand over the sign in advance, and then wait for the queen's permission before they can enter.It's not like outside the palace, just ask someone to hand over the greeting card.

After all, I am still a civilian girl, even if I go outside the palace gate and ask to see the queen mother, no one will dare to report to me.

Therefore, if Daiyu wanted to enter the palace, other than waiting for the queen mother to think of herself and sending eunuchs to summon her, she had no choice but to trouble Yunze.He is a prince, and he is also a prince favored by the emperor, so he can naturally bring Daiyu in.

It was a coincidence that Yunze happened to take a rest the next day, and spent the whole day resting in the residence.When Daiyu went, she didn't rush.
