Chapter 933 240 Incident (Two More)

There was silence in the Wushou Hall, and the oppressive atmosphere made the stewards and maids standing at the bottom not dare to let out the air, for fear that they would become a standout.

Nangong Yue took a sip of tea, looked at Mammy Zhang with a calm expression, and asked, "Mamma Zhang, in this palace, the father, mother, concubine, prince and son are not present, who is the most honorable? Who is the master of the palace? "

Nangong Yue was still smiling slightly, calm and steady, her eyes were clear and cold, like a bottomless pool, but she had an ice-like awe-inspiring aura. I have been in the palace for many years, and I haven't seen any big scenes, but I really don't understand, how can such a little girl look so majestic!

Mammy Zhang took a deep breath and replied hurriedly, "Of course it's you!"

"That's right." Nangong Yue slowly put down the tea bowl in her hand, and her tone suddenly turned cold, "If anyone forgets their ears, can't remember, or can't recognize this point, then say it now, and go back to old age as soon as possible! "

She said a few words so that the people below broke into a cold sweat, and kowtowed three times in a row. The maids who glanced at Nangong Yue from the corners of their eyes were still calm, as if they were already used to such a scene, and they became more and more apprehensive in their hearts. Said: "Slaves dare not!"

Allowing them to kowtow their foreheads, Nangong Yue said in a high voice, "I am the concubine of the world, and the head of this mansion. What I do, I have my own reasons, and I don't need to explain anything to you. But today I am When I met you for the first time, everyone didn’t understand my temperament, so I’ll tell you a few more words.”

When she paused, there was silence in the main hall, and everyone listened attentively, motionless.

"Today, I've changed the staff in the kitchen, shopping and janitorial. It's naturally my reason." As she spoke, she looked at Que'er, "Que'er, talk to them!"

"Yes, Concubine Shi!" Que'er took a step forward and puffed out her chest, but under the gaze of many eyes, she was still calm, "The servant will talk about the kitchen first, this morning, it was already cold when breakfast was delivered to Concubine Shi. That's right, then the servants went to the kitchen to have a look. The people in the kitchen either slipped away and chatted with melon seeds, or hid in the boiling water room and dozed off. They didn't even know that the stove was off. What's the point of not leaving a stove and a pot of hot water?"

The old woman who was in charge of the kitchen was said to be in a cold sweat. In the past, there was no master in the inner courtyard. The prince had his own large kitchen in the outer courtyard. some.

When Concubine Shizi first got married, they were very nervous for a few days, but they found out that Concubine Shizi's meals were prepared by the small kitchen in Fufeng Courtyard and the large kitchen in the outer courtyard. Breakfast is called in the large kitchen in the inner courtyard.

Following Que'er, she took an account book from a little maid, and said with a smile: "I didn't read this account book carefully, I just saw the price of this clothes being interesting, and I don't know which clothing store's clothes are so expensive. It takes five coins to buy two pieces!" Queer thought that Cheng Yu had the face of a smart man, but he was also an ignorant person, and such a rough ledger actually fooled him... Well, it was like As Concubine Shizi said, Uncle Cheng followed Shizi to do big things, and these little things had to be a headache for the girls.

The daughter-in-law who bought it didn't dare to argue a word, and her body fell even lower. If the master really pursues this matter, no matter if he is beaten to death or sent to an official, he will not survive.

In the end, Queer looked at the old woman who was at the very edge of the door. Before Queer could speak, the old woman was already crawling and begging: "Prince Concubine Shi, this slave and maid accept the punishment!" People go out, but who is really willing to be imprisoned like this, and it is a lot to catch a lot of their own mistakes. Rather than being accused, it is better to admit it and ask for leniency.

Although the other three who were kneeling on the ground saved their jobs, their hearts kept pounding. There was nothing wrong with this person in his seat, especially since the inner courtyard of the palace has been loose for so many years. As the saying goes, From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult, how can loose people become impeccable overnight!

They knew that it would be easy for the concubine to replace them, but they felt that their positions were not very important, and their mistakes could be forgiven, so they didn't bother to bother with them.

Nangong Yue looked around the crowd for half a circle, then turned to An Niang who was beside her and said, "Mother Song is gone today, Nanny, you can temporarily take the place of Mama Song!"

"Yes, Concubine Shizi!" An Niang took a deep breath, stepped forward, and Fushen responded.

An Niang seemed calm, but her heart was turbulent. The matter of letting her temporarily replace Song Mammy, now it seems that Nangongyue has a temporary idea. In fact, Nangongyue told An Niang and Baihui last night that they want to replace Song Mama, and suggested that An Niang should temporarily be replaced. generation.

At that time, An Niang was a little frightened. She believed that she had no great ability, and she was a little reluctant to manage the affairs of the girl's yard before, because Baihui, Queer and the others fought, and there was no trouble. If she were to be the steward, if something went wrong, wouldn't she be embarrassing her own girl?

It was Nangong Yue who persuaded An Niang that Que'er and Thrush would be her helpers. Besides, she is the nanny of the imperial concubine, no matter what mistakes she made in this mansion, as long as Nangong Yue doesn't care, who would dare to do anything to An Niang? An Niang's identity is there, she is a steward, and no one has anything to say!

An Niang thought about it, but she had to catch the duck on the shelves.

Mammy Song's lessons were still in front of her eyes just now, so how dare other people say anything else.

When Nangong Yue saw it almost, she smiled and said, "Everyone, it's the first time you and my master and servant meet today. I still have to say this ugly thing first, so as to save you from secretly testing my temperament in the future!"

There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, which made Mammy Zhang's heart shudder.

Nangong Yue looked at the crowd and continued lightly: "I am a very simple person, I am rewarded for merit, punished for mistakes, go straight, no matter where you come from or what your background is, as long as you have the ability, I will use you, and if you are incompetent, then abdicate for me. No matter who it is, if you are cheating and cheating, don’t blame me for being rude!”

She smiled shallowly, with a gentle temperament, she was still the thin girl who seemed to be vulnerable, but at the moment she was just sitting upright, but she gave people a condescending feeling, her tone was still gentle and gentle, but it made people feel that every Every word seems to be beating on the heart, making everyone in the hall not dare to underestimate.

Everyone reacted differently, some were scared, some were happy, some were worried, and some didn't care, but Mammy Zhang's heart gradually settled down. , her seat is also stable.

Thinking of this, Mammy Zhang's waist straightened up, and she bowed in agreement and said, "Thank you for the teachings of Concubine Shi!" Her heart was already convinced: This Concubine Shi, hitting a stick to give a candy with her hand, is already superb!

When Mammy Zhang said this, the other people kneeling on the ground also kowtowed in unison: "Thank you for your teachings!"

This upright play was finally finished, An Niang took over, and Nangong Yue returned to Fufeng Courtyard with Baihui Lily.

Although these stewards have been restrained, the palace's inner house is a mess, and she still has more things to do...

Just when Nangong Yue was having a headache over the middle feed of the palace, the queen was shocked by the news.

The second princess secretly left the palace? !

This news was handed back by a palace maid placed by the queen in Jingyang Palace. It is said that the second princess has been gone for three full days, and no one has found it yet.

This is simply great news!

Concubine Zhang's mother and son are like a thorn in the heart of the queen. A few days ago, the emperor was favored by the three princes, which made the queen feel flustered. The queen still didn't dare to take it lightly, she knew very well that once the third prince took that position, there would be no way for her little five to survive.

Now, Concubine Zhang handed the handle to her.

The queen stood up, stroked the uncreased dress, and gracefully commanded Xueqin: "I heard that the second princess has been unwell recently, and I am very worried, Xueqin, go and invite the imperial doctor for me, I am going to go. See her for yourself."

Xueqin responded and instructed a little palace maid to invite the imperial physician Zheng Wu, and ordered the queen's sedan chair to be prepared.

A group of people arrived at the Xuehe Palace in a mighty way.

Xuehe Palace knelt down to welcome the sudden arrival of the queen. The fact that the second princess secretly left the palace was a secret even in Xuehe Palace, and only a few maids and eunuchs in charge of the palace who served the second princess personally knew about it.

The queen was greeted in the main hall, and just as she sat down in the main seat, the second princess' maid, Fei Cui, hurried over and greeted her with a terrified expression.

The queen asked casually, pretending to be unintentional, "Where's your princess?"

Jade hurriedly replied: "Qi Niangniang, Your Highness is not feeling well and is resting in the inner hall."

"Take this palace to have a look."

"My lady..."

"What?" The Queen said with a half-smile, "What's wrong?"

Fei Cui was so anxious that sweat covered her forehead, she kept looking outside the palace, and replied, "His Royal Highness just fell asleep, so..."

"Bengong won't bother her." The queen said, and said to Taiyi Wu, who was standing by the side, " Taiyi Wu, the second princess has been feeling unwell these days. You can take a look at her in a while."

Imperial Physician Wu responded respectfully, and he had realized in his heart that today's diagnosis is not as simple as a diagnosis.

The queen got up and walked towards the inner hall.

Jade hurriedly stepped forward to stand in front of the queen, so anxious that she was almost speechless. She knew very well that once the queen found out that the second princess was gone, there would be no way for them to serve closely.

She desperately winked at the palace maids around her. The palace maids looked at each other in dismay. In front of them was the queen, who would dare to stop her.

Jade said bravely, "Madame, Your Highness has not slept well for the past two days. I just slept with the soothing soup. I implore the madam to come and visit Your Highness later."

The queen said coldly, "Bengong won't bother her."

"Miss!"

"Presumptuous!" The queen frowned and shouted, "The maid next to the second princess doesn't know the rules. Come on, drag it down."

As soon as the voice fell, an accompanying inner servant came up, grabbed Jade, and dragged her out.

"Niangniang! Niangniang!"

The queen ignored her at all and continued to move forward.

In order to keep the secret of the second princess running away from the palace, there was only a big palace maid in the inner room. As soon as she saw the queen coming, she knew that Jade couldn't stop her, and it was obvious that something was wrong.

Amber's back was covered in cold sweat, and Fushen said, "Niangniang, Your Highness just fell asleep..."

Xueqin stepped forward and ordered, "Get out of the way."

Amber stubbornly blocked the door, saying nothing.

The queen's face turned cold again, "It seems that the second princess is too much for you on weekdays, so that you have no rules. Come on..."

"Greetings to the Empress." At this moment, Concubine Zhang hurried over, only to see that her hair was messy, and the delicate makeup on her face was slightly smeared by sweat. She saluted the Queen and said as if nothing had happened. , "It's an honor for the second princess to come to see the second princess, but the second princess has been trapped by nightmares these days, and she can't sleep well. I can finally fall asleep. Can I say hello to my sister after she wakes up?"

She said this as if the queen scolded the prostitute and was aggressive.

The queen smiled, "What do you mean by this, Concubine Zhang? I knew that the second princess had been ill for some time, so I asked Imperial Physician Wu to come and take a look. However, in this Xuehe Palace, up and down actually prevented Ben Gong from seeing the second. Princess, this palace doesn't understand, is the second princess sick, or..."

"Elder sister is well aware of the reason to ask." Concubine Zhang said with a cold face, "Chen and concubine boldly say here, if the elder sister disregards the wishes of the second princess and chooses a concubine for her, and does not allow the ministers and concubines to intervene, how can the second princess fall ill in such a hurry Woolen cloth."

"You mean, it's all this palace's fault?"

"Sister, the second princess finally fell asleep, please don't disturb your mother."

"The second princess just fell asleep, or is she not in the palace at all?!"

"Sister!" Concubine Zhang laughed softly, "It turns out that the elder sister suspects that the second princess is not in the palace. Well, if elder sister wants to see, the concubine will naturally not stop her, but what if the second princess is really asleep inside. ?"

Concubine Zhang's nonchalant attitude made the queen hesitate a bit. Could it be that the second princess is really inside?

Could it be that this was a trap set by Concubine Zhang's mother and daughter on purpose?

The queen looked at Concubine Zhang steadily, as if she wanted to see some flaws. Seeing Concubine Zhang looking back calmly, it made her less confident.

"Sister, if the second princess is inside, how about you follow the second princess' wishes and let your concubine choose a concubine for the second princess?"

The queen lowered her head slightly and said lightly, "Bengong is the second princess' first-mother, and the second princess is ill, so naturally Bengong has to come and see. As for the second concubine, the younger sister is the second princess' mother, and she can also decide. "

Although the Queen's face was very calm, she was a little nervous in her heart.

Concubine Zhang chuckled and said, "In that case, Amber, open the door."

Amber opened the door of the inner room as ordered, and when he looked from the outside, he could see the agarwood carved bed at a glance. Through the red silk curtain, a figure could be vaguely seen lying inside, as if he had heard something from outside. There was a movement, and the figure turned over and let out a somewhat vague moan.

"My sister saw it." Concubine Zhang said calmly, "The second princess is still asleep, please let her sleep for a while. When the second princess wakes up, the younger sister will let her go to the elder sister to accompany her."

The queen frowned, is this really a mistake?

Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhang took such pains to choose a concubine for the second princess herself.

"That being the case, then this palace..."

The Queen's voice suddenly stopped. It was just the matter of the concubine, and Concubine Zhang's mother and daughter made such a big battle? Although the emperor was annoyed with the second princess, but with the emperor's temperament, as long as Concubine Zhang bowed down and begged for a begging, even if he couldn't ask the emperor's forgiveness, he would at least have some say in the matter of choosing a concubine. Where is the need for this? ?

Could it be...

Concubine Zhang is pretending to be mysterious!

It's no wonder that Concubine Zhang has been spoiled in the harem for many years, and she was almost fooled by her!

The corners of the queen's lips twitched, and the conversation changed: "Ben Gong thinks that the second princess should not be afraid of illness and avoid doctors. Doctor Wu, you should go and diagnose the pulse of the second princess."

"elder sister."

Concubine Zhang's always calm face finally showed a trace of panic. This time, the queen didn't give her any chance to speak, she just gave her a wink, and the two maids behind her rushed into the inner hall and pulled away the crimson red silk tent...

Inside the tent, the second princess' maid, Shan Shan, sat up abruptly, her face pale.

...

When the news reached Nangong Yue, she had just finished her lunch when she heard Lily say vividly: "...Now the palace is in chaos. The emperor was furious when he heard the news, and had already sent Jin Yiwei to chase the second princess. It's gone!"

After all, the second princess is the dignified Princess Dayu. When she is secretly brought back by Jin Yiwei, the emperor will naturally suppress this matter. By then, the reputation of the royal family will naturally be unimpeded.

However, this is too cheap for these two princesses...

Nangong Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and she instructed Lily, "I remember that the prince has several restaurants in the capital. You can send a message to Zhu Xing..."
