At this time, the palace was full of people. Princess Yingyin said goodbye to Wang Xiushu and went back to her room to make up. Wang Xiushu, Zhao Xinmeng and Junlian returned to the hall. At this time, a stage has been set up in the palace, and the stage has already appeared, singing melodious operas. Wang Xiushu and Zhao Xinmeng find a foothold and sit down, quietly enjoying the opera.
"Sister-in-law, it's not convenient for me to ask if Princess Yingyin was not here just now. Why do you want to help Princess Yingyin?" Zhao Xinmeng finally expressed his dissatisfaction. Wang Xiushu smell speech but smile: "because I hate shallow Moon Princess." Wang Xiushu replied. The real reason is hidden in her heart.
It's true that she doesn't have to worry about Princess Yingyin's business today, but she is curious about Princess Liu. Zhao's mother once said that Princess Yingyin was not popular with Princess Liu, so Wang Xiushu wondered if she could start with Princess Yingyin and know her purpose. Naturally, she intends to get close to Princess Yingyin, but when she gets along with her for a moment, she appreciates her forbearance.
She is also an unpopular person. Compared with Ruan Yuqin's submissiveness, Princess Yingyin seems to be indomitable. There was no complaint on her face. Wang Xiushu was curious about her indifference.
With the drama gone, today's banquet is coming to an end. Wang Xiushu finds Ruan Juan's place and prepares to return to Pingnan Marquis's house. Just outside the palace, I saw a crowd coming and standing in front of Wang Xiushu. Can't help but Wang Xiushu, the rest to celebrate the officials and nobles have been stopped.
The eunuch in charge went to the center of the crowd and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry that the jade bracelet from the western regions, which the Emperor gave Princess Yingyin, is missing. I hope that everyone will stay in the palace for tea and wait for us to search one by one before leaving."
At the end of the speech, everyone was in an uproar. It's none of their business to lose Princess Yingyin's jade bracelet. Do you want to suspect that they can't steal the jade bracelet? What's their status? How can they be greedy for a small jade bracelet. But they also dare not make trouble in front of Liu Guifei. Liu Guifei is a red man in front of the emperor, and no one dares to offend her.
They laughed and understood. The eunuch nodded, separated the men and women one by one, and led them to different rooms. Wang Xiushu walked into an empty room with the wives. The ladies in waiting came forward to search for him. When Wang Xiushu was found, the maid in waiting was stunned. After searching twice, there was a trace of confusion on her face.
Wang Xiushu raised a smile at the corner of her mouth. At this time, the maid in waiting seemed to be at a loss. She didn't know whether to search for the next person. Just at this time, a palace maid came in. Wang Xiushu knew her. She was the one who helped Yingyin to get up in the afternoon. This person should be the one beside Princess Yingyin.
"Your Highness says that the jade bracelet has been found, and no need to search. Princess Royal has asked me to apologize to all of you. It's a waste of time. " Said the maid.
The palace maid who is searching her body is relieved and moves her hand away from Wang Xiushu. They talked and walked out of the room. Wang Xiushu walked out of the room and out of the palace.
On top of the carriage, Wang Xiushu lifted the curtain and saw that the carriage had driven out of the palace. She laughed and asked mother Zhao in a soft voice: "did you return the jade bracelet to Princess Yingyin?" Wang Xiushu asked.
Zhao's mother nodded: "originally, I wanted to throw away the jade bracelet at will according to my wife's instructions, but Princess Yingyin saw it. Princess Yingyin asked me to give it to her." Zhao said.
Wang Xiushu nodded, it seems that this Yingyin Princess she really is not wrong, is not a cowardly generation. When Liu Guifei and Wang Xiushu make love, Wang Xiushu has found that Liu Guifei quietly put an object in her arms. When she left concubine Liu, she took out a jade bracelet with exquisite workmanship from her arms.
She admired concubine Liu's skill. She was a noble person, and she was so agile. If it were not for Wang Xiushu, she would not have noticed her behavior. She handed the jade bracelet to mother Zhao and asked her to find a way to throw it.
What she didn't expect was that Princess Yingyin would help her. According to this time calculation, mother Zhao should have gone to the lake in the afternoon. Princess Yingyin thought it was so timely that she must have expected that Wang Xiushu had already found the jade bracelet. It seems that it was no accident that she met Princess Yingyin in the afternoon, but Princess Yingyin followed her mother to the royal garden. So she ran into Princess shallowly.
But Wang Xiushu doesn't understand. At that time, Princess Yingyin didn't contact with her. If Princess Yingyin stopped her mother in public, the suspicion of her mother would not be clear, and she would suffer. But Princess Yingyin did not. So it seems that Princess Yingyin and Princess Liu are not the same enemy.
"Is Zhao mother familiar with her royal highness?" Wang Xiushu asked.
"I've seen it several times before when I came to the palace with Mrs. Zhao." Zhao mother replied, "at that time, the princess did not know why she often had injuries. Zhao old man had pity on the princess and gave the princess some ointment."
"Is that injury caused by concubine Liu?" Wang Xiushu asked.
Mother Zhao did not comment. She lifted the curtain and looked out at the carriage. At this time, the carriage was driving on the official road, and there was no one around. Zhao's mother put her heart down. In fact, her worry is superfluous. But from her vigilant look, Wang Xiushu can see that what Zhao's mother will say next is probably very important.
Sure enough, mother Zhao lowered her voice and said in a soft voice, "madam, there is something that mother Zhao should not tell you. Although it's a rumor at this time, it's very true. "
"Say it." Wang Xiushu sat forward, very curious.
"It is said that concubine Liu was defiled a few years before she entered the palace." Zhao said. Wang Xiushu Leng Leng, a time could not organize language, was tainted? How could this be possible? Although the position of concubine Liu was not high when she entered the palace, the position of Liu's house was there. Besides, there is no man in the harem. Who can defile concubine Liu.
"What does that mean?" Wang Xiushu really couldn't think of it.
"It's a long-term thing to say," said Zhao's mother. "Liu Fu used to be a businessman. He made seven grades by buying officials. He became more and more senior and even went to the imperial palace. It is said that there is a god named Zhuang Zengzi in Liufu. There are many rumors about Zhuang Zengzi. It is said that Zhuang Zengzi was saved by the Liufu, and later he settled down in the Liufu. "
"What does this have to do with Liu Fei? Why is Zhuang Zengzi called god man Wang Xiushu asked. However, she had never heard of the rumor about Liufu. But she came to the capital for a short time, so she naturally had no way to know about the past.
