The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 6 Grapes (3)

"That depends on my sister's sincerity." Ma Guiren's slender hand caressed the white jade Bu Yao on his head, every frown and smile was full of aggressiveness.It is no exaggeration to say that if Mr. Yougui refused to let go at this time, Mr. Ma would immediately order the eunuchs waiting outside to search the palace.

Yougui's brows were condensed, and his thin lips were pursed lightly, obviously he didn't want to confront Ma Guiren head-on.She could just go to the end with Ma Guiren, but even so, with Ma Guiren's temper, she would definitely collect the grapes in her palace and take them away to prove her favor.And if the emperor knew about this matter, firstly, noble Ma would be favored, and secondly, now that she is still pregnant, the emperor would not do anything substantive except to reprimand her for her petty temper.

Yougui is a person who does not want to cause trouble. Even if the news of today will make her lose face, she still does not want to participate in these intrigues in the palace.After a long stalemate, Mr. Yougui took the lead to look away, and looked at the maid at the side: "Have someone bring up the ice cup containing the grapes."

Ma Guiren's smile deepened a little, and he seemed quite satisfied.But at this moment, a female voice as clear and calm as ice and snow suddenly came from outside the hall: "Wait a minute!"

Hearing the sound, Ma Guiren and Yougui looked out of the hall together.I saw a little girl in a light green padded coat put her hands in front of her belly, walked straight into the hall, knelt down respectfully in front of the two of them, nodded and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty please be safe, my servant."

Ma Guiren looked at the slender eyebrows who broke in, and couldn't help jokingly said: "Yo, these maidservants in my sister's palace really don't understand the rules. How can you come in and interrupt when the masters are talking?"

Yougui also looked Jiaorong up and down, felt unfamiliar, and asked coldly: "Who are you?"

Jiao Rong kept her head down, her clothes were thin, but her voice was clear and forceful: "Returning to the nobleman, the servant is a maid who was just assigned to Yanxi Palace through the draft today, and she doesn't know the rules yet, please forgive me, the two masters. Just now, the servants passed by outside the hall and overheard the conversation of the two nobles, and realized that this is a major matter related to the dragon fetus, so they had no choice but to break in to stop it."

"I just asked Yougui for some grapes, so why is it a matter of the dragon's fetus?" Ma Guiren dismissed Jiao Rong, a lowly maidservant, and instead glanced at Yougui, "Could it be that my sister doesn't want Giving the grapes to my sister, did you find a palace servant to come and stop me talking nonsense?"

"Yougui is honest and kind-hearted, so he would not instigate slaves to do such things." Jiaorong retorted softly, and then said: "The slave has just entered the palace, and I don't know what the customs are in this palace, but among the people, pregnant women Eating grapes is a big taboo, which indicates that the fetus will grow into a mole, and it is a diet that must be avoided."

Hearing this, Ma Guiren's expression changed, his smile disappeared immediately, and he changed into a ruthless look, and he shouted sharply: "Bold! How dare you curse the dragon's fetus, you lowly maidservant! You really don't want to die!"

"My servant dare not lie. My aunt once ate a lot of grapes during her pregnancy, which eventually led to the birth of a mole. This servant knows that this taboo is not a rumor, so I dare not let the nobleman take risks on the dragon fetus." Jiaorong head Knock down, but the tone is still strong: "Besides, our little master uses freezing as a way to store grapes, and pregnant people must never touch these ice grapes, as eating them will cause diarrhea and even miscarriage. "

"Presumptuous!" Ma Guiren frowned, stood up directly, and pointed his hands with long nails straight at Jiaorong: "You lowly maidservant is really reckless! How dare you use the demon fetus of you lowly slaves with my belly On par with the dragon son in the middle! Come here! Drag this lowly maidservant out to me and execute him immediately!"

"Everything said by this servant is true!" Jiaorong raised her voice a little bit, and every word was sonorous and forceful, "If you don't believe me, you can go back to the palace and ask the imperial physician. Slaves are lowly and humble, it doesn't matter whether they live or die, but I implore the nobleman, don't hurt the safety of the dragon fetus just because of a moment of urgency."

"You!" Ma Guiren gritted his teeth, pursed his red lips, looked at a group of eunuchs who were hesitant in front of the palace gate, and raised his voice, "What are you doing in a daze! Why don't you drag her down!"

Those little eunuchs were about to come over. At this moment, Bai Kui next to Ma Guiren suddenly looked a little more complicated. She slightly pulled Ma Guiren's arm, approached and whispered: "My lord, those taboo slaves she mentioned I've heard it outside the palace, and it's not just nonsense. Right now, the dragon fetus is the most important thing, we've suffered from folk taboos, so it's better to be cautious."

Hearing the sound, Ma Guiren turned his head to look at Bai Kui, his face was extremely unhappy, but Bai Kui's eyes were firm and his expression was very serious.Ma Guiren's third son, Aixinjueluo Changhua, died on the day of his birth due to incomplete liver and lung development. Because Ma Guiren had lost three princes one after another, there was a lot of discussion in the palace for a while.Later, the queen mother invited a shaman into the palace to eliminate evil spirits. The wizards said that Changhua's death was caused by the fact that Ma Guiren often let folk actors enter the palace to perform puppetry during her pregnancy.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and Ma Guiren gradually calmed down from the outrage at the beginning. She thought of the child she had lost, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she turned to look sharply at Jiaorong and hummed: "One point!" It's just broken grapes, I don't want it! You lowly servant girl will not hang around in the palace from now on, and you are eloquent and self-righteous, it makes me upset!"

Immediately, Ma Guiren looked at the silent Yougui, waved his flag lightly, and said in the same tone as ordering his servants: "Don't think that you can show off your power just because you are favored by the emperor, if you are sensible, take your flower Put the peacock's tail back, and be careful to trip yourself! Also, if you manage Yanxi Palace, if you dare to bump into me again, I will tear their mouths apart!"

"Sister taught me a lesson." Yougui replied in a low voice, a little perfunctory.

Ma Guiren rolled his eyes slightly, let out a contemptuous "hum", twisted and twisted the hand supporting Bai Kui around Jiao Rong who was kneeling on the ground, and walked out of the palace full of anger.Yizhu was still hiding at the door and peeking in fear, but when he saw Ma Guiren coming out, he quickly hid aside and pretended to be a sweeping palace servant.

After the imposing group of people completely left the gate of Yanxi Palace and the chariot was lifted away, Yizhu was relieved and looked back into the palace again.

But at this moment, an angry voice suddenly came from a distance: "You two lifeless maidservants, dare to sneak into the nobleman's bedroom and disturb the nobleman's rest, can you afford it?"

In the hall at this moment, Jiao Rong just raised his head from the ground, and looked outside the hall upon hearing the sound.Yougui's voice was low, and he said to the outside world: "Yuan Xing."
