"I was in the mountains with the prince before, and I saved a person by accident." Mingruo replied calmly.
"She is petite and has a protruding forehead. She looks like someone from Xikang." Aunt Dong said.
Thinking back to when I saw her unconscious in the valley, the pattern on her dress really had a very ethnic feel: "Maybe, I don't know."
When Mingruo and Aunt Dong walked into Jinle Palace, they heard a little palace maid shouting: "Go and tell the empress that Princess Yun is here."
As soon as Ming Ruo came in, a palace maid stepped forward to lead her into the Concubine Xian's bedroom.
My eldest aunt hurriedly came over to greet me: "You're back, you're going to have to worry about us!"
"Why have you been gone so long? Has the Queen Mother given you any trouble?" The third aunt also looked worried.
"I'm not embarrassed at all. It's a long story, so I'll tell you slowly first."
"Okay, okay, you have a rest first." Concubine Xian said to Ju Xin, "Bring me some sour plum soup and snacks."
Mingruo drank a bowl of sour plum soup and checked Concubine Xian's pulse first. After there was no problem, she roughly told what happened in Yongchun Palace. Of course, Mingruo knew how to hide his merits and fame and did not say that he had made money.
The Queen Mother has a box of jewelry, which only says that the Imperial Master is wise and mighty.
"That nine-tailed phoenix hairpin must be very important, otherwise the Imperial Master will not come forward." Although the National Master's Lan Yue Tower is in the palace, in Concubine Xian's memory, she has never seen the Imperial Master.
Walk around the palace.
"Maybe." Mingruo shrugged. Anyway, it's much more reasonable for the Imperial Preceptor to appear because of the 'Nine-tailed Phoenix Hairpin' than because of herself. After all, she is not familiar with the Imperial Preceptor, so there is no reason for them to come and help her.
Bar.
A few people in Mingruo were chatting in Jinle Palace, but Yongchun Palace was in a state of solemnity and solemnity, and you could almost hear the drop of a needle.
Empress Dowager Qian was still sitting on the phoenix chair, and kneeling on the ground were the prince and the two guards who were responsible for looking for the dowry, as well as the guards and secret guards who were on duty in the yard at that time.#@$&
"The Queen Mother, when I took people to the side hall to check, the latch of the rear window was open." The prince held a burnt blue jadeite Huasheng above his head in both hands, "This Huasheng was found in the grass under the window.
Yes, it should have been dropped from the dowry when the thief left."
The guard in charge of the Changchun Palace was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he cursed in his heart - this damn eunuch, in order to clean himself, really did not care about their life and death: "Please be clear to the Queen Mother, a few of my subordinates have been patrolling the courtyard.
I didn’t see any thieves approaching.”
The Queen Mother turned her attention to the four secret guards. They usually hide on roofs and trees. If there is any abnormal movement, they will not escape their eyes.
"At that time, my subordinates found no abnormalities." A secret guard was the first to reply.
"Not even my subordinates..." The other three people agreed.%&(&
Between the dowry disappearing out of thin air and being stolen by a thief with strong martial arts skills, Queen Mother Qian decisively chose the latter. Queen Mother Qian felt a headache when she thought of the masters in her palace who could come and go freely. The thief had taken a liking to her this time.
She took the jewelry quietly. If one day he caught his eye again, would she also take it away quietly? The more Empress Dowager Qian thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but shudder.
"The Third Highness has arrived." The young eunuch guarding the door outside the palace announced.
"From now on, the number of patrols will be doubled." Queen Mother Qian waved her hand, "Please step aside."
"Yes." Everyone excused themselves.
The third prince came in and bowed first: "Imperial grandmother Wan'an."
"No gift." Empress Dowager Qian waved to the third prince, "Yu'er, come here."
"Yes." The third prince sat next to Queen Mother Qian in a rare obedience.
Empress Dowager Qian told Si Yu that the Imperial Master said that the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin was blessed by Fenghua, and then handed him the brocade box with great care: "Put it away."
Si Yu opened the lid of the brocade box and saw that the phoenix hairpin inside was shining brightly, and it looked like it was not ordinary. A rare smile appeared on his face: "It is the imperial grandmother who loves her grandson the most."
"Of course I have to leave good things to you." Empress Dowager Qian asked again, "However, don't let anyone know about this. The queen of the province will go to your father to complain."
"My grandson understands." His father didn't like him in the first place. Besides, this nine-tailed phoenix hairpin was supposed to be passed on to the queen for safekeeping. It would be unfair to hold it by himself.
After the third prince left, Queen Mother Qian felt that she had accomplished a meaningful event. She was determined to help Yu'er ascend to the throne, so that Yurao would become the Queen Mother. It was such an honor and power for the Qian family to have two Queen Mothers in succession.
When Mingruo and his two aunts came out of Jinle Palace, they saw a woman wearing pink haze and brocade palace clothes standing by the lake not far away. Originally, they were not close, so Mingruo didn't notice her, but she
His gaze was too intrusive and made people feel uncomfortable.
When he got closer, Mingruo realized that this person was actually Shen Bichi. It wasn't that Mingruo's eyesight was bad, but that Shen Bichi had lost a lot of weight all of a sudden. His body looked like a piece of paper, and his forehead seemed narrower due to weight loss.
Her cheekbones appear prominent, coupled with her thin lips... If she continues to grow like this, within five years, she will definitely have a sharp and mean face modeled after Concubine Shen.
Shen Bichi stared at Mingruo, as if waiting for something to happen. Mingruo passed by her without looking away. She was a royal concubine, so there was no need to pay attention to her. If she didn't punish her for being rude, it would be lenient and merciful.
Shen Bichi looked disappointed. Did she say that Princess Qinghuang would throw herself into the lake and commit suicide? Why did she just walk over like nothing happened?
Mingruo turned her head as if feeling something, and happened to meet Shen Bichi's eyes. Her eyes were full of doubts and unwillingness. An idea flashed in Mingruo's head - could that slave who can hypnotize and control people be?
Sent by Shen Bichi, right?
Mingruo suddenly felt that the truth had been revealed to him, and the corners of his lips curved slightly to give Shen Bichi a provocative chuckle.
Shen Bichi was shaking with anger, why didn't this woman die? Ever since she married into the palace, her things had been taken away bit by bit - the servants in the palace originally obeyed her words, but later they only obeyed Yan Mingruo's orders.
From then on, her cousin, who was originally not a womanizer, began to hang around her. Later, because of this woman, her cousin kicked her out of the palace...
Now, even her aunt, who loved her the most since childhood, was not as good as before. She wanted to buy some new clothes from Yunzhuanglou, but she hinted to her aunt several times, but she didn't come up with any money.
Concerning this point, Shen Bichi had indeed wronged Concubine Shen. It was not that the concubine had any objection to Shen Bichi, but that the landlord's family had no surplus food. In the past, the money given to her by her son could not be used up, so she was naturally generous.
All the profitable shops there were given to Shen Bichi, leaving only a few shops collecting rent.
Now, all the belongings are locked in the secret room and cannot be taken out. It is spring, and the rent on the farm cannot be collected until the autumn harvest.
