Resourceful beauty

Chapter 229 The Innocent Child
"What's going on, the maidservant didn't hear very clearly. I only knew that when I got off the carriage, I was bumped by the young lady of Yongwang's mansion who got off the carriage behind me, and I fell off the carriage. Fortunately, there was a maid who supported me at that time. , otherwise, if the front hits the ground first, even the gods will not be able to keep it."

After talking in fear, when Ding Xiang supported Fang Ruxuan again, she was extra cautious, as if Fang Ruxuan was a fragile porcelain vase on the ancient shelf.

Before Fang Ruxuan's eyes, the picture of Concubine Fang leading Chu Yuyao to Shouchang Palace appeared involuntarily.

"At what time are the clothes of the East Palace sent to the Clothes Bureau every day?"

Although this matter has nothing to do with the East Palace, Fang Ruxuan still wants to figure out whether this matter was a coincidence or someone deliberately caused it.

Ding Xiang replied: "The people from the Clothes Bureau come to collect them every day. Unless you or His Highness are in a hurry to wear them, they will send them over or pick them up."

"Is it the same in the palace next to it?"

Fang Ruxuan was thinking, how could she meet Qing'er.

Seemingly understanding what Fang Ruxuan meant, Ding Xiang looked back and looked around, Fang said softly: "The Qing'er next to Concubine Fang was originally adding firewood to the kitchen stove. Loyalty is the main thing, so I transferred her to my side to listen to her. It has only been a few months, and now, I am in charge of Concubine Fang's personal clothing, so I won't leave Lanyue Pavilion in leisure time. But..."

Ding Xiang's voice became softer, "Even if she is pregnant, Concubine Fang never forgets to maintain her beauty. The pearl powder that is often applied on her face is specially formulated for her by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although it is not expensive, but she uses it, it is better than others It will be more effective if you use it. Therefore, every five days, Qing’er will go there to pick it up in person.”

Just find an opportunity.

Thinking to herself, Fang Ruxuan instructed: "Seeing that the day is coming, let Sang Ye go to the House of Internal Affairs and pick up whatever you want. If you can meet Qing'er, just ask about what happened last night."

Ding Xiang nodded in response, and went to tell Mulberry.

On the second day, Fang Ruxuan knew the whole story.

"When Concubine Fang and Miss Yong's Mansion were alone, the four maidservants around him were all guarding the same direction, in order to see if anyone was coming. Later, Concubine Fang asked Miss Yuyao if Prince Yong's side concubine was okay. Okay. Anyway, what I asked back and forth was all about the affairs of Prince Yong's residence."

Retelling Qinger's words, when Sangshen went on to say, there was a trace of disdain on her face, "Later, Concubine Fang looked at Miss Yuyao with pity on her face and said she was pitiful. Miss Yuyao asked what, Concubine Fang In other words, when the child in Concubine Yong's womb is born, no matter male or female, they will all be descendants of Prince Yong's mansion. In the future, her honor and decency as the young lady of Prince Yong's mansion will definitely not be comparable to before. , I’m afraid I’ll be wronged too.”

Seven or eight-year-old children don't know so much. They only know that when Concubine Yong gave birth to a child, his father will definitely pay more attention to the newborn child, and will not love himself as much as before. The smile on the mother's face, It will also be less than before.

It is said that the daughter is the mother's caring little padded jacket. Although what Concubine Fang said did not teach Chu Yuyao what to do, the girl already had an idea in her heart.

Therefore, when parting at the gate of Shouchang Palace, Chu Yuyao's mind was not as innocent as before entering the palace, and when Concubine Fang's words made her look at Concubine Yong's towering belly, she was not as innocent as before. Looking forward to it.

Fang Ruxuan could probably guess what happened next.

Originally, Chu Yuyao didn't know what to do, but when she got off the carriage at the second gate of Prince Yong's Mansion, seeing Princess Yong get off the carriage with her waist hooked in front of her, a bold idea suddenly appeared in the girl's heart .

Standing up and following Princess Yong to get off the carriage, Chu Yuyao pretended to accidentally trip and pushed Princess Yong, who had just stepped out, out of the carriage.

If it wasn't for Princess Yong's personal servant girl standing beside the carriage, holding Princess Yong tightly, with the height of the carriage and the strength with which Princess Yong's bulky body flew down, the child in her belly would definitely be lost.

Even so, the situation at that time was still extremely dangerous. Princess Yong was so frightened that she almost had a miscarriage, and even one arm was pulled out of its joint. As a result, she would have to stay in bed for at least a month or two.

At that time, no matter whether she was genuinely afraid or pretended, Chu Yuyao's complexion must have been as pale as that of Princess Yong. On purpose?
Concubine Yong is angry in her heart, for the sake of her reputation of being virtuous and magnanimous, she can't criticize Prince Yong's side concubine and Chu Yuyao, Fang Concubine's move is really brilliant.

"I heard from the imperial physician who came back from Prince Yong's Mansion that Miss Yuyao also fell off the carriage, not to mention a piece of skin was scratched on her face, and her feet were also sprained. After two or three months, she might not be able to go out."

Mulberry sighed.

In this way, whether it is King Yong or Concubine Yong, it is even more difficult to reprimand Chu Yuyao. After all, a sprained foot is a small matter, and if the skin is scratched on the face, it will be a big deal if it hurts the appearance.

"Is the child in Princess Yong's belly all right?"

It was almost a miscarriage, but even so, such a serious injury would be a huge disaster for the fragile fetus, Fang Ruxuan asked with some pity.

Sang Shen shook her head, "Now I only know that Princess Yong has not had a miscarriage, and among the imperial physicians sent out, only the one who looked at Miss Yuyao's wounds has returned. The others are still guarding Prince Yong's mansion. I am afraid that they will not know what is going on until they come back. .”

"Children are innocent, what's more, he is still an unborn baby. Concubine Fang never thought that she is also pregnant with Liujia and is about to be a mother?"

Thinking of Fang Concubine's delicate and cowardly appearance when she first saw her in Fengming Palace, Fang Ruxuan felt indescribably disgusted.

Femme fatale, you are talking about a woman like Concubine Fang, right?
Waving her hands to signal Mulberry to go down, Fang Ruxuan turned her head and told Ding Xiang, "Get some supplements such as ginseng and bird's nest from the small warehouse, and send them to Prince Yong's Mansion."

Ding Xiang took the lead.

In the afternoon, Fang Ruxuan took a nap and got up, no longer in the mood to go for a walk, so she walked in the yard with Lilac's hand in her arms. After a while, Concubine Han Shu came.

Speaking of it, it was naturally about the matter of Prince Yong's Mansion. Concubine Han Shu didn't know about it, she just thought it was a simple collision, and lamented that the heirs of Prince Yong's Mansion were difficult. Thoughts, if this is the case, then she is really deep-minded in making use of her young daughter in this way.

Fang Ruxuan knew the inside story, so naturally she wouldn't step on Prince Yong's side concubine just because she didn't like Queen Zhou, so she said disapprovingly: "If it's really King Yong's side concubine, why didn't she do it earlier? , with her ability, there are plenty of ways to make Concubine Yong's miscarriage unnoticed, why bother to do it at such a time, and implicate her daughter? Besides, if it were me, I would rather do it myself, I am afraid that the child will not be involved of."

Concubine Han Shu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "That's right, from this point of view, the suspicion of Prince Yong's side concubine is the least."

While the two of them were talking, they saw a servant girl coming to deliver a message, saying that the side concubine of King Yong had entered the palace.

In the inner hall of Fengming Palace, King Yong's side concubine knelt in front of the angry Queen Zhou, crying with tears all over her face, "The incident happened suddenly, and I also thought that it was Yuyao who didn't stand still and bumped into the princess. When I got to the house, I found out after careful questioning that this incident was not a coincidence, but someone deliberately instigated it."

Just now I have explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly. Although Queen Zhou was angry that Chu Yuyao did not have long eyes and offended Princess Yong, but after all, the side concubine of King Yong was a girl from the Zhou family, and she was personally chosen to be the side of King Yong that day. Concubine, I can only suppress my anger and listen to her.

After listening, Queen Zhou believed it [-]%.

After all, if King Yong's side concubine bit her daughter, she accidentally tripped Princess Yong, leading to the current consequences, everyone would be skeptical, and there was nothing she could do, but she just came to admit that her daughter did it on purpose , with a calm heart, no one can bear to blame her anymore.

"Get up..."

The words were not as harsh as before, Queen Zhou motioned to Shui Ling to help her up, and asked in a cold voice: "This matter, let me rot in my stomach, and Yuyao also told me, just say it was careless, and was caught by Fang. My concubine instigated such words, but I can never say them again, remember?"

Although the side concubine of King Yong was wronged, she nodded docilely.

As long as Queen Zhou knows about her grievances, her goal today will be achieved. After all, Concubine Fang is pregnant now, and it is empty words to say that she abetted Chu Yuyao. Wufang, let a child with a yellow mouth talk about the favorite concubine in the palace, speaking of it, it doesn't make any sense.

The soft words comforted the side concubine of King Yong, and told her to take good care of Chu Yuyao, so that the girl would not leave scars on her face. Queen Zhou said earnestly: "It has been eight years since you gave birth to Yuyao. Work hard, Princess Yong's birth is a daughter, so you have to seize the opportunity."

In the huge Prince Yong's Mansion, there is not even a concubine, let alone a son.

Immediately, King Yong's side concubine responded with a slightly blushed face.

After entering the palace for more than an hour, the side concubine of King Yong left the palace and returned to the mansion. As for what she said to Queen Zhou in Fengming Palace, no one knew, but everyone guessed that the side concubine of Yong Wang was blaming herself. Here comes the guilt.

But looking at her leaving the palace with large and small bags of supplements, everyone knew that the matter of Prince Yong's Mansion might be turned into a trivial one.

The next day, Fengming Palace paid her respects, Concubine Fang paid her respects once a month as Queen Zhou promised.

After all the concubines arrived, Queen Zhou asked Concubine Fang's pregnancy with a gentle face as usual, which relieved Concubine Fang's anxiety a little.

But when the concubines finished paying their respects and got up to leave one after another, Queen Zhou left Concubine Fang alone.

Seeing her standing in the palace with a flustered and nervous look on her face, Queen Zhou felt that she couldn't stop being angry: it was because of such a petty and delicate appearance that captivated King Yao that she got pregnant like this, right?

"Concubine Fang is also a mother who is about to become a mother, so she should be able to understand Princess Yong's mood better at this time. People are doing it, and the sky is watching. You don't need to say anything, just think about it here."

After leaving a word, Queen Zhou turned and entered the inner hall.
