Chapter 307 Chapter 307 The Cui family and the Jiang family started to pinch each other!
Ms. Su has been teaching the second princess to study for seven or eight years. She goes to and from the inner court every day, rain or shine. She receives the salary of a seventh-rank official, silver and rice, and can also receive rewards from the palace at four o'clock and eight festivals a year. Xia You
Bing, there is coal in winter, the work is not hard, the salary is very good, and she is well respected. The only trouble is that the second princess has not been interested in studying since she was a child.
But now even this little worry has disappeared. Recently, the second princess seems to be a different person, and she is working hard to become stronger. This really surprises Ms. Su.
Ms. Su is nearly fifty years old, and her husband passed away more than ten years ago. When she was young, she was known as a talented woman. She was proficient in the four calligraphy books, good at poetry, and was good at regular script. Therefore, she was hired by the imperial court as a princess's mistress early on.
This really brings glory to the family and honors the children. Therefore, no matter how arrogant and lazy the second princess is as a student, Ms. Su is not willing to give up this good job.
Seeing that the second princess was becoming more and more diligent in studying, Ms. Su comforted her and taught her more attentively.
On this day, Miss Su was explaining the Analects of Confucius to the second princess. Suddenly, the Queen Mother arrived.
Ms. Su was a little frightened, so she quickly put down her book, gathered her folds and bowed.
The second princess, Jin Shu, was all excited, like a mouse seeing a cat.
Wen Xiaotu smiled kindly: "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to listen."
Princess Jinshu is so full of sex, my mother won’t let me go even in class?! Wow!
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but glance at the classroom. The spacious and bright study room had three rosewood desks placed side by side - the one in the middle was Princess Jinshu's seat, and the two sides were for companion reading.
Yes, princesses also have companion readers, usually from their biological mother’s natal family. Therefore, one of the companion readers of Jinshu is Wen Ruoyu, the youngest daughter of Wen Xiaotu’s second brother Wen Chengliang, and the other is Du Xuan, the sister of the Du brothers who is the companion reader of the East Palace.
Yan.
These two girls were well-behaved and sensible, and they followed Princess Jinshu to greet her and bow politely.
Wen Xiaotu sat on the chair politely and said gently: "Teacher Su, just continue talking. There is no need to worry about me."
Ms. Su had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue talking.
Although Wen Xiaotu pretended to be in the prison, in fact, she was here to steal her teacher... But she still had to behave properly so that the teacher could not see that she only had a partial understanding of the Analects.
I have to say that Su's Chinese language teacher is quite good, and he explains in a simple and profound way. Wen Xiaotu... can completely understand it!
With this level of explanation, no matter how stupid or foolish a child is, they will definitely be able to understand it as long as they don’t lose focus!
Congee, this little girl, used to be too spoiled to children.
Just as he was listening intently, Huaixu ran in in a panic and said, "Mother, it's not good!"
Ms. Su's gentle lecture came to an abrupt end.
Wen Xiaotu frowned and glared at Huai Xu: "What a shame!"
Huaixu lowered his head and hurriedly gathered his crotch and bowed: "Your Majesty, Madam Cui... fell into the water."
Wen Xiaotu was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Is the fourth princess okay?"
Huaixu said hurriedly: "It's just that Cui Cai fell into the water, and the fourth princess was just a little frightened, nothing serious."
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but wonder, how could Cui, an adult, fall into the water for no reason in broad daylight?
That's the bad thing about being a queen. No matter what happens in the harem, you have to be looked for.
Wen Xiaotu coughed slightly and said to Master Su: "In that case, I will go back first. Please take care of the second princess's homework."
Master Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly gathered her hands and said, "This is my wife's duty. I respectfully send you off to the Queen!"
"My son, I respectfully send my mother off!" Jin Shu's voice was extremely brisk.
Wen Xiaotu: You want me to get out of here right away, right? Damn you girl!
Cui's Shuiyue Pavilion was not far from the princess' palace, so Wen Xiaotu didn't take a carriage and walked there for only two-quarters of an hour.
When he walked into the pavilion, he suddenly saw Lu Xiuyi.
"The Queen." Lu Xiuyi hurriedly knelt down and bowed, and explained, "I just took Jing Ke out for a walk when I heard a popping sound. I asked someone to check and found out that Cui had fallen into the water. The fourth princess was on the shore.
I was so frightened that I cried. I had no choice but to ask Nanny to take Jing Ke back, and then asked someone to rescue Ms. Cui ashore, and then I sent them mother and daughter back."
Wen Xiaotu nodded. It turned out that there were witnesses. No, to be precise, Lu Xiuyi did not see how Cui fell into the water.
At this moment, Cui Cairen came out of the inner room sobbing and fell to her knees with a thud, "The Queen makes the decision for my concubines!"
Mrs. Cui had obviously changed into dry clothes, but her bun was still wet and she looked very embarrassed.
Cui cried and said: "It's not that I accidentally fell into the water, but someone wanted to kill me and the fourth princess! Someone pushed my concubine from behind. If Empress Lu hadn't come over with a gentle voice, I'm afraid even Jinlan would have died.
Not immune!"
Wen Xiaotu's eyebrows sank. According to Cui's words, it was Lu who interrupted the murderer's murder...
Wen Xiaotu obviously didn't believe what Ran Ge said. She turned to Lu Xiuyi and asked, "Have you seen anyone suspicious?"
Lu Xiuyi shook his head: "I only saw Ms. Cui falling into the lake, and the four princesses crying on the shore. Other than that, there was no one else."
Wen Xiaotu's face turned slightly blue, "There's not even a single figure there? Where are the maids and nuns who serve the princess?!"
Ms. Cui, who was kneeling on the ground, said timidly: "Grandma Wang has sprained her feet, and there are two palace maids. The concubine asked her to pick lotus buds."
Wen Xiaotu said coldly: "You don't even leave anyone by your side?!"
Mrs. Cui hurriedly defended: "It was Jinlan who clamored for the lotus, so I sent the palace maid to pick it. I thought it would only be a matter of time, but I never thought that someone would dare to take the opportunity to commit murder! Please make the decision for me, the queen!"
"
Wen Xiaotu's face became even more unhappy: "Then tell me, who is going to commit the murder?!"
Mrs. Cui gritted her teeth, "I vaguely saw Yun Xiu next to Jiang Jieyu..."
It turned out to be a false accusation against Jiang.
Lu Xiuyi frowned and said, "Jiang Jieyu has no enmity with you, why would she want to harm you?"
Mrs. Cui lowered her head and insisted: "But concubine, I really saw that it was Yun Xiu."
Lu Xiuyi looked at the majestic Queen Xiao Wen and said, "Queen, I'm afraid there are many suspicions about this matter. I think we should investigate it in detail."
Wen Xiaotu spat in his heart, why is there any need to investigate in detail? It was obviously Cui who was causing trouble! Cui asked Jiang for the love potion to no avail, so she became resentful and feared that Jiang would reveal the secret.
It's better to strike first. The safety of the royal princess is at stake. Failure to protect her could only arouse the emperor's pity.
However, Wen Xiaotu still said: "Go and invite Jiang Jieyu to come over."
Jiang's Yilan Pavilion was not far away, and the Queen summoned her again, so Jiang Jieyu came over in no time to drink tea.
Lu Xiuyi took the initiative to explain the cause and effect of the incident, and Jiang Jieyu almost exploded with anger on the spot.
"Empress, Madam Cui is talking nonsense! Yun Xiu stayed with me all day long, as everyone in the Yilan Pavilion can testify!" Jiang Jieyu was so angry that her nose was crooked. Ms. Cui wanted to compete with her, but she originally wanted to compete with her. It has nothing to do with it, I didn’t expect Cui to frame her up!
Mrs. Cui gritted her teeth and said: "Everyone in Yilan Hall is Jieyu's family! Of course they all have the same tongue." After saying this, Mrs. Cui kowtowed and said: "Please make the decision, the queen, and judge Yunxiu strictly!"
Jiang Jieyu was also anxious, and she quickly knelt down: "Empress, the concubine is unjust! I have no enmity with Mr. Cui, so what can I do to her? Please let the Empress make the decision!"
One or two, let me make the decision, will it be finished or not?
Wen Xiaotu only disliked the noise.
Fortunately, at this time, the imperial palace supervisor Liang Kunyu came, "Your Majesty, please go to Haiyan Palace immediately."
