spring cloud warm

Chapter 128
Flowers are falling and flying outside the sunset building, and the slanting light is shining, enveloping a piece of spring scenery in the golden glow.

The steward of Cen's residence hurried to the inner courtyard and came to the study of the second master Cen Tong.

"Second Master, someone came from the palace and wants to see you by name." The butler tried his best to make his voice calm, but the rapid breathing still showed that the situation was a bit unusual.

"The people in the palace?" Second Master Cen is painting, and the paper is a half-finished orchid, independent and unrestrained, "Which master sent it?"

He has been away from officialdom for a long time, and he has never dealt with people in the palace.

"It's Hu Baohua, the eunuch who is in charge of Concubine Rui," said the housekeeper, "I'm afraid...the visitor is not kind."

It has been three years since today's son ascended the throne, and this concubine Rui is the second daughter of the Cui family of Duke Xinyong's residence.

The reason why the Cui family is arrogant and domineering is not only their own status as a lord, but also such a relationship.

"I see." Cen Tong finished drawing the last two orchid leaves at a leisurely pace before putting down his pen.

Eunuch Hu is not very old, and his appearance is quite correct, but his shoulders are a little high and low. Behind him is an eight or nine-year-old eunuch, holding a carved square box in his hand.

Eunuch Hu didn't care about it. When he saw Cen Tong, he smiled all over his face. He went up to greet him and said, "I've always heard about Second Master's reputation, but now I just met him. It's better to meet him than to be famous."

"Boss Hu won the award, Cen is ashamed and dare not take it." Although Second Master Cen is no longer young, he is elegant and suave, calm and calm, not ordinary outstanding.

After watching the tea, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Eunuch Hu stepped into the topic: "Today, I am taking the liberty to bother Second Master, I am ordering by Empress Rui to send something to Second Master."

After speaking, he asked the little eunuch to put the box in his hand on the table in front of Cen Tong.

"It's getting late, and it's time for the villain to say goodbye. If you go back later, the palace gate will be locked." Eunuch Hu said as he got up, and cupped his hands at Second Master Cen.

Cen Tong didn't have time to ask more questions, so he had to send him out.

Eunuch Hu was sent away, and the third master, Cen Ran, also happened to return to the mansion.

Second Master Cen then told what happened just now.

After hearing this, the third master said: "This Hu Baohua is famous for his smiling face. This is a person who stabs you in the face and still has a smile on his face. You have to be careful."

"He didn't say anything, he just sent something, but I guess it has something to do with Yunchu's matter." Tong Cen said.

"There are high and low people, but there is no right or wrong." The third master sneered, "So what if the daughter of the Cui family is a concubine? Is it possible to turn black and white? If you really want to push too hard, I will sue the imperial court. "

"How old are you, and you still can't hold back your anger. Go back and see what he sent, and it's not too late to make plans." Tong Cen said, "If it's really because of Yunchu's matter, I still have to do it." Father's here."

The box that Eunuch Hu sent was only the size of a palm, and when it was opened, there was a small jade cicada inside.

"What does Concubine Rui mean by sending this thing? Do you want to play charades with us?" Cen Ran said.

"I think it should be," Cen Tong said with a slight smile, "I know the common name of this thing, it probably means that we know each other well, so we're done."

"Ever since the emperor ascended the throne, the impeachment of the Cui family has never been broken. Recently, the matter of their family's enclosing land and merging fields has become even more troublesome. I am afraid that their family is a bit overwhelmed and doesn't want to make any more troubles. "Cen Ran said.

"The person in charge of the Cui family didn't show up, but asked someone from the palace to bring this to us, making peace with a threat." Cen Tong smiled and said, "It really is the usual style of the Cui family."

"Hmph, do they think everyone else is a fool? It must be that their family searched and searched, but they couldn't find any evidence that Cui Baoyu's madness was related to our family! That's why they sent a man and woman to play tricks." Cen San The master's temper was a little grumpy, "I'll give him a book someday, and make his teeth hurt for a few days!"

"Be safe and don't be impatient. Instead of reciprocating like this, it's better to see the opportunity and hit it with one blow." Second Master Cen said, "The Cui family thinks that they are relatives of the emperor and their relatives are rich, but I don't think so. You just We need to remember that we cannot decide when their family will collapse, but it will not be too long."

"If that's the case, it's their family's own destruction." Cen Ran said, "Leaving aside that, I haven't found out who is the person who reminded us to be careful of the Cui family a few days ago. That person is so mysterious."

"Since we can't find it, there's no need to do it again," Cen Tong said.

Cen Ran said again, "Yun girl doesn't know who Sanniang is, why didn't she ask her to find out? With things like this, it's easy for them to get a reliable rest."

"Yun girl said, that person doesn't want to show up, so we don't have to hold on to it. In short, the other party has good intentions, but he doesn't want to show up, so why make things difficult for him." Cen Tong laughed, "You also know Yun girl's temper. You can't judge her by common sense."

In the palace, lights were lit everywhere.

The beaded curtain swayed slightly under the slightly dancing candlelight.

Concubine Cui Ruifei's newly dyed nails were bright red, making her boneless jade hands even more charming.

The little maids retreated, and only Eunuch Hu stood by.

"Have the things been delivered?" Under Concubine Cui Ruifei's feet was a snow-white pug, raising its two front legs in a bow, begging for food.

"Return to your mother's words, delivered." Eunuch Hu replied respectfully.

"If the Cen family is sensible, this matter will end here. If it is not found out that this matter has nothing to do with their family, I will never let it go lightly." Cui Ruifei said slowly, "Then Cen Yunchu is indeed a broom Xing, Baoyu is also true, what are you doing to provoke her?"

"I heard that this Cen Yunchu is extremely beautiful. Uncle Guo is young and energetic, so it's inevitable..." Eunuch Hu said.

"No matter how beautiful it is? Do you think any concubine in this palace is not a good-looking one? I think that girl is probably a little dishonest, and that's why she seduced Baoyu." Concubine Cui Rui had never met Cen Yunchu, but she thought she was an uneasy person. Divided.

"Your Majesty is right." Eunuch Hu quickly agreed.

"I'll call the imperial physician who treated Baoyu later, and I'll ask him." Cui Ruifei said, "He said earlier that he was [-]% sure. I don't know if there has been any progress in the past few days."

She only has one younger brother, Cui Baoyu, so of course she must spare no effort to cure him.

"I will follow your mother's order, and I will go to the imperial hospital to invite someone to come over in a while. There is one more thing," Eunuch Hu said, "Miss Si has said several times that she will go to the palace to see you, my mother, look..."

"Recently there are a lot of things going on in the palace. How can I take care of her? This child is really real. The family is spoiled and willful." Concubine Cui Rui also has a headache for this younger sister, and even wants to kill Cen Yunchu.

The Cen family is a marquis's family anyway, if they really want to kill someone, how do they behave in front of the emperor?
"Isn't she grounded now? Tell her to stay at home."
