Early the next morning, bad news came from the palace. The soft imperial concubine empress Hong. The emperor turned white overnight. The eunuch maid in the palace saw the emperor kneeling in front of Rou Fei's bed and crying. When he went to court, the emperor's eyes were swollen.
All civil and military officials were surprised when they saw the emperor. Originally, the emperor was a handsome, thin, middle-aged man on the ground, and he looked energetic. At this moment, his face was tired, his eyes were deeply sunken, his hair was gray, and his cheeks were sunken on both sides. It looks like it's ten years older.
The emperor leaned wearily on the Dragon chair, put his hands on the armrest of the golden dragon head, and tried his best to support himself, listening to the reports of the ministers. However, his eyes were very erratic. The censor yelled for a long time before the emperor woke up: "in this case, the third prince will come back to worship his mother."
This sentence seems to have consumed all the strength of the emperor, he said intermittently, and then stopped for a while. Then he went to the inner hall with the help of his father-in-law. A group of Ministers knelt down to say the emperor's mourning.
When Fengqin came back from the south, he rushed to Bai's yard. They didn't know what they had discussed. When Bai came out, his face was smiling. When red brocade spreads these news back, Feng Su is looking at the servant girl who is sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard. She reaches out her hand and points to the servant girl: "Qing'er, what's the name of the servant girl?"
"Miss Hui, the servant girl is called thrush. She used to be from the yard of the third aunt. When the third aunt left, it happened that you were short of servant girls. Mother Fang, who is in charge of the work, has transferred her here. " Qing'er comes up with tea with a smile.
Since the last time the young lady publicly disposed of the two servant girls in the yard, the servant girls and boys in the yard suddenly wake up. Only one by one, seeing the young lady is like seeing a ghost. Even the maid Hongjin has been like this for a long time. If Qing'er knew the fate of the two maids outside the yard that day, she would not be able to eat for several days.
Thrush was called in with fear on her face. He seemed so scared that he didn't know where to put it. When Feng Su looked at her, her eyebrows were beautiful, especially her eyes, which seemed to have water rhyme. She cut her shoulders and waist, and her figure was eye-catching. Feng Su took the small cap of celadon flower and gently touched it on the edge of the cup. Suddenly, she said in a sharp voice, "kneel down and say, who let you come to me?"
Tea three people are a Leng, thrush startled, bite bite teeth straight to kneel down. Red brocade is looking at one side, can't help face dew anxious, subconsciously want to open mouth to beg. Red sleeve suddenly a pull her, red brocade immediately reaction come over, hang Mou hope to Feng Su, see three young lady face although is contain cold idea, eyes but don't kill idea, red brocade just relaxed.
The thrush knelt there tremblingly and opened her mouth as if to say something. Her face turned red. Feng Su drank tea in a leisurely way, and let her kneel on the ground. After about half an hour, she saw that the thrush was sweating on her forehead, and her body was also tottering. Feng Su put the tea bowl heavily on the table. She slapped the table with her palm, and the tea on the table was splashed: "thrush, aren't you ready to say?"
Red brocade is looking at one side, can't help but open mouth: "thrush, you still don't say quickly. Miss, this is to give you a chance to praise you. If you have anything to hide, just tell the young lady. The young lady is most considerate and can't help you. " Red brocade dunked for a while, it seems that it is not enough, and added, "if you don't speak again, miss will have to deal with you."
Feng Su raised her head and looked at the red brocade. She said faintly, "you servant girl can talk, eh?"
Red brocade was frightened by her cold eyes, and her heart jumped. She knelt down and asked for forgiveness: "excuse me, miss. I know I'm wrong. I shouldn't talk nonsense. Please forgive me." Tea also quickly followed kneel down.
At the sight of this posture, thrush's body trembled almost imperceptibly. Then she closed her eyes, and two lines of clear tears came down: "miss three, my maid was originally the only daughter of the magistrate of Dezhou. Years ago, my father was framed and lost his life, and my maid had no way to appeal to him. After listening to my uncle's words, I followed him to the imperial city to appeal to the imperial court. Who knows, who knows that he is actually a man I was ready to sell me to that kiln. The maidservant struggled to escape. Seeing that Feng's house was recruiting a servant girl, he thought that there was a place to settle down. Then he signed a contract to sell himself and went into the house to be a servant girl. "
Thrush's tears kept falling down, obviously very sad. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, and then said, "Miss, although I have been with my third aunt before, I swear that I was not sent by anyone. Please don't drive me away, even if I have been here all my life. If you are driven out of the house and caught by your uncle, you will not be able to live. " After that, thrush leaned down and "banged banged" her head three times, and her forehead was blue.
The three servant girls in the room dare not breathe. Feng Su's fingers are knocking on the table, and the hourglass in the room is sliding down bit by bit. Feng Su suddenly began to laugh. She bent down and raised the thrush. She said with a smile, "since you have told the truth, I will not embarrass you. However, since you are a servant girl, you still need to accept the appearance of this young lady. You should stay here and be transferred to a second-class servant girl tomorrow, and come to the house to serve you like red brocade. "Thrush Leng for a moment, and then immediately react, with tears of gratitude. Looking at thrush push to open the door to go out, Feng Su just looked at two servant girls kneeling on the ground, sighed: "you two, get up first."
After all, red brocade is a little late. It's easy to trust others. It's rare to have a maid to talk with in this yard. Naturally, red brocade should take more care of her. Qing'er came forward to scatter Feng Su's hair and said curiously, "Miss, is what the thrush said true?"
Feng Su blinked her eyes, and a sly smile appeared on her face: "nature is true, but it's just a part of the adaptation. A county magistrate in a remote place doesn't have the attitude of a young lady cultivated by a large family. "
Red brocade and red sleeve look at each other, and they all shout: "Miss, do you mean she is a miss in the big family?" They both frowned involuntarily, "how can Since thrush has such a background, how can she be willing to be a servant girl in Fengfu? "
Green son also can't help but frown: "Miss since know she has a problem, why still want to put her in the side?"
Feng Su picked up the eyebrow pencil and drew it carefully between the eyebrows. Then she put down the eyebrow pencil, looked at the person in the mirror, and slowly raised her lips: "since she's here, there's a reason for her. If you don't put her by your side, how can you facilitate her action? "
The three servant girls almost looked at each other. But Feng Su didn't speak. At this time, the third prince should come back from North Xinjiang. Feng Su pinches Rouge's finger and shrinks for a moment. Third prince, I hope you like the gift I gave you.
Qinger looks at the strange smile on her face through the mirror. She can't help but feel cold on her back. She quickly lowers her head and reads Amitabha. It seems that someone is going to have bad luck again.
At this time, the long corridor suddenly came the shrill cry of the maid, followed by Feng Su's door was "pa" to push open. Feng Su immediately turned to see, immediately laughed.
