Chapter 207 The So-Called Tree Roots
But this kind of talk was repeated in all the teahouses and taverns in the capital. Within a few days, everyone was talking about how talented, virtuous and kind-hearted Miss Ding of Wuhou Mansion was. The princess in Xianyuan is a beautiful femme fatale, otherwise she would not be liked by the general.

Men love sex, almost no one can be an exception.But there is only one reason for a beauty not to be liked by a man, a dark heart!

Rumors have always been the most powerful thing, almost pervasive.Even if the guards in the palace are strict, they can't stop the rumors that they have grown wings.

Therefore, on this day, it was rare for Princess Qingcheng to see that the weather was fine, and when she walked around the garden holding the hand of the old mother, she heard two eunuchs picking up flowers and trees talking happily.

One of the skinny eunuchs said angrily, "People say that the princess is beautiful, but she is actually evil. I really feel wronged for the princess. Let these people talk about the golden branches and jade leaves. Last time, the emperor When it was time to kill the two brothers of the Imperial Dining Room, I saw the princess begging for mercy. The princess is so kind, how could she be evil?"

The other companion with a sallow complexion was obviously older, and sighed happily when he heard this, and while scooping water and watering the flowers, he began to teach the skinny eunuch, "If it weren't for the fact that our hometown is a prefecture, I wouldn't even tell you Ah. You have a brain, you have to be more careful in the palace in the future. Don’t always think that what you see with your eyes is true. You said that the two brothers in the imperial dining room did not die in the end. Originally, the emperor just ordered the stick to be killed However, when the princess begged for mercy, the emperor was enraged, and he was cut to pieces. It would be better if she didn't intercede, at least the two brothers could leave a whole body. These royal people, when did you treat us? The slave really showed kindness, but it was just a show."

"Really?" Xu Shi, the skinny eunuch, had never thought of this, and still couldn't believe it, and retorted, "Then...the princess is beautiful!"

"What's wrong with being beautiful?" The sallow-faced eunuch curled his lips disapprovingly, "The world is getting bigger, and there are more beauties. Believe it or not, as long as the general gives an order, countless beauties will be sent to the hospital tomorrow." The palace is coming. At that time, everyone is looking forward to Cheng En, and everyone is trying to please, and the general will not like the princess who is holding a high air. Fairies, just put them on the table, who really likes to hold them in their arms Li, it's cold and uncomfortable!"

"Hey," the skinny eunuch didn't know what to think of, stretched out his arms to turn the sallow-faced eunuch, and smiled lewdly, "Is it like your 'opposite food'? Is it warm to hug?"

"Haha, you can find out the taste of it."

The two of them were busy talking and laughing at the same time, but they were cheerful. They didn't expect that behind the flowers and trees not far away, the princess's face was already livid.

"Princess calm down, you go back to rest first, this old slave will knock out all their teeth and vent your anger."

The old mammy was so angry that she wanted to rush out and eat these two low-mouthed slaves alive, but the princess raised her hand to stop her, "Mommy, let's go back."

"Princess…"

"Go back!" Princess Qingcheng turned around angrily, and the long nails that had just grown up for a few days were cut off again on the brocade handkerchief, and she tried her best to suppress the fishy-sweet air in her throat.

The old mama stomped her feet and had no choice but to follow quickly. As for the big court ladies, they didn't even dare to catch their breath, wishing they could beat the two eunuchs just now.Originally, others envied them for being able to serve the princess, and they also thought that they would become female officials by the queen's side in the future. They didn't want to be unable to do so now, and they had to worry all day long about being punished by the princess...

In Liuxianyuan, the old lady carefully poured ginseng tea for the princess, and at the end took the file knife and waited for the princess to polish her nails while thinking about how to persuade her.

"Princess, don't pay attention to the words of those slaves. No matter how humble the lowly people are usually, they are mostly jealous of the nobles. Now they are rampant after hearing a few gossips. After a while, the old slaves will pull out their tongues."

"No, the branches and leaves of the big tree are withered and yellow. It is not to cut off the branches and leaves. The important thing is to water from the roots."

Princess Qingcheng brought the teacup and looked out the window, but her pupils were not stained with the slightest warmth of spring, but full of gloom and gloom, her voice was low as if she was whispering to an unknown person.

Not to mention the maid who stood with her head hooked in the corner, even the old nanny who accompanied her day and night gave a chill down her spine.

This so-called tree root, could it be...

At such a time, the little eunuch guarding the gate quickly ran across the verandah, rushed to the gate of the main hall, knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness, the steward Yun of Marquis Wu's mansion is asking to see you."

"Butler Yun?" The old mama didn't react for a while, but the princess suddenly turned her head, her eyes flashed brightly, "It's Uncle Yun, please!"

The old mama finally remembered at this time, she quickly got up and called the ladies in the palace to pack up, and finally went to the gate of the courtyard to invite Uncle Yun to come in.

Gong Zhiming has often been in and out of the palace since he was a child, Sima Quan and Qingcheng also often went to Wuhou's mansion to play, and Uncle Yun and the old lady are naturally familiar with each other.

When the two met, they had to reminisce about the past and be courteous.

In the past, when Gongzhi was young, Wuhou Mansion had almost no masters, and everything was taken care of by the old prince. At that time, the old mother was the most important internal housekeeper beside the old princess, so she naturally had a kind of arrogance. Uncle Yun saw him every time. She almost had to salute.

However, now she is the princess nanny of the old dynasty, while Uncle Yun is an old housekeeper who the new emperor regards as half an elder.The status of the two will never be the same as before.

The old mother bowed down and saluted, Uncle Yun helped her up with a smile, and replied, "Old sister, we are old acquaintances, there is no need to be so polite, get up, get up!"

The old mother listened to him mentioning the old things, and then thought about the grievances the princess had suffered these days, she stabbed in a moment of anger, "Don't dare to be rude, now Brother Yun is a popular person around the general, I rarely see him, why? You have to be courteous, too."

Uncle Yun's eyes flickered, but he replied with a smile on his face, "The old girl's words are natural, but she's right. It's rare that the general doesn't dislike my old arms and legs, and wants me all day long." Busy before and after. It’s true that it was a difficult time before, and the general can’t trust anyone except me. Who knows who I’ve known for many years, and secretly murdered me again.”

"Uh," the old mama's breath was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything.No matter how much the Sima family treated Gong Zhiming with deep kindness, Gong Zhiming paid off Sima Quan's bag of petrochemical powder earlier.If the Sima family continues to act like a benefactor, it will be too thick-skinned.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, my brother has worked hard all the way, hurry up and serve tea in the hall! Just now the princess said that I haven't seen your face for many years, and I miss you very much."

After all, he is a spirit who has lived for many years, one way was blocked, so the old lady immediately changed to another.

Sure enough, Uncle Yun smiled more sincerely, "I haven't seen the princess for many years, and I didn't have a chance before. It just happens that I'm not busy today, so I'll give the princess a good greeting."

The two entered the hall while talking, and Princess Qingcheng had already greeted her with the arm of the grand maid.The already beautiful person now had crystal clear tears in his eyes, and he bent down overjoyed, "Uncle Yun, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you old?"

"Oh, princess, you can't do it!" Don't look at Uncle Yun who just received the gift from the old mother, but now he doesn't dare to fight with Princess Qingcheng.Not to mention that the princess of the old dynasty is still the princess, even if he thinks about the face of the deceased old prince and old princess, he dare not take it too seriously.

Uncle Yun helped the princess up, bowed and saluted at last, and then smiled again, "Princess, don't disturb the old slave, I haven't seen you for many years, but the princess looks better than before. I am afraid that the old prince and the princess are in heaven together." Spirit, rejoice even more."

Princess Qingcheng smiled faintly, but for some reason it added a sense of sadness, "Uncle Yun, please sit down. Earlier, some Yunwu white tea was sent from outside the palace. I remember that Uncle Yun likes this tea the most, and I have brewed it just now. It tastes good."

"The old slave is not polite, thank you princess for the reward."

The two talked and divided the guests and hosts into seats, and the old mother stood beside the princess as before, her eyes flickering and she didn't know what to think.

When Uncle Yun was drinking tea, he saw Princess Qingcheng's pale face and three-pointed sadness between her brows and eyes. After all, he was a little distressed. After all, he was a child he had seen since he was a child. He once regarded the princess as the future mistress of Gongzhi's family.I don't want the world to change too fast, and it will be completely different in a blink of an eye.

"A few days ago, I heard that the princess summoned the imperial physician, but she was not feeling well? If any medicinal materials are used, feel free to send someone to find the old slave, but don't delay."

"Thank you Uncle Yun, it's just a cold wind, my palace is already recovering."

Princess Qingcheng smiled wryly, and when she lowered her head to drink tea, she showed her slender neck, which was so delicate that it seemed that it would break if it was slightly bent.Anyone who reads it can know that what she said is not true.

Before Uncle Yun could speak again, the old mama had already pulled off the veil and wiped the corners of her eyes, choked up and complained, "Princess, Brother Yun is not an outsider, so don't hide it. How could it be wind and cold earlier? You have vomited blood. If the imperial physician hadn't stepped up the diagnosis and treatment, and drank bowl after bowl of medicinal soup, you might be reunited with the old prince and princess by now."

"Mommy!" Princess Qingcheng interrupted the old mommy annoyed, frowned and scolded, "My palace is well now, why worry Uncle Yun by saying these things?"

Uncle Yun hurriedly waved his hands to smooth things over, "Princess, don't be angry, the old girl is straightforward. Besides, she is also a loyal person, how can she see you ruining her body?"

"No, what Brother Yun said is too true. The princess is not only in poor health these days, but even her appetite has been cut in half. She stays up all night, hoping that the general will come and take a look. It's a pity, Great General... Woohoo, Great General is so cruel!"

The old mother was talking, remembering the cold reception when she went to the court to ask for an audience, but she cried a lot.

The princess didn't scold her this time, instead she lowered her head and stirred the handkerchief in her hand. Her long eyelashes trembled, as if they could shed tears at any time, and the viewers felt extremely sad.
