Resourceful beauty

Chapter 303 The Bird of Fright
"So sure, a piece of jade pendant can make her lose her mind?"

Hearing Fang Ruxuan talk about her plan, Chu Yuan asked with some interest, with a look of suspicion.

For a deep-minded person like Lu Rufei, if her mind is disturbed by a piece of jade pendant, how can she make a big deal out of it?You must know that she has grown from a concubine who often climbs to the present, relying on her own strength, not luck.

Fang Ruxuan actually had no idea, but this is a small breakthrough found in Lu Rufei so far. If it is not used, who will know if it will be useful?
"You have to try it before you know. If it doesn't work, you can only find another way."

Fang Ruxuan said so.

"Okay, then you can do it according to your own heart, just one thing, don't let yourself risk yourself."

Pulling Fang Ruxuan's hand and kissing it on the lips, Chu Yuan demanded with a serious expression.

Fang Ruxuan smiled and nodded seriously.

What happened in Jinghua Palace, within a day or two, no one mentioned it gradually. After all, the palace is such a place with strict rules, and the maids and servants in the palace are all dead, because the little things go wrong, master It is not uncommon to lose your life if you lose your mind.

The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, soon, the head of the House of Internal Affairs took a dozen maidservants to Jinghua Palace, and respectfully asked Lu Rufei to choose two.

When I went to Fengming Palace to pay my respects, Concubine Lu Rufei was that gentle woman with a quiet attitude and a smile whenever she saw anyone.

Coming out of Fengming Palace, Fang Ruxuan was not in a hurry to leave first, and wandered around in the nursery for a while. After Concubine Han and Queen Zhou finished handling the affairs of the Six Palaces, she walked towards Changle Palace with her.

When passing through the imperial garden, I saw Lu Rufei taking the nine princesses for a walk in the garden, so they must run into each other along the way.

From the corner of his eyes, he noticed that Concubine Han's gaze turned slightly, her expression was calm, while Concubine Lu Rufei and Princess Nine saw from a distance, their footsteps were slightly slow, and they had already moved out of the way.

Pretending not to notice Lu Rufei's small movements, Fang Ruxuan gave her a generous nod and smile, and continued talking to Concubine Han, but Princess Nine, took advantage of Lu Rufei's inattention, and blinked at Fang Ruxuan.

"Mufei has mutton fat jade, can you give me a piece?"

Fang Ruxuan pursed her lips and smiled, then turned to ask Concubine Han.

"Go back and find it, and have someone send it to you. Do you have any special requirements?"

As if Fang Ruxuan was her direct daughter-in-law, Concubine Han smiled extraordinarily gently, as if Fang Ruxuan was so happy to see no one else.

Fang Ruxuan shook her head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "A few days ago, His Highness coaxed Brother Ming to call him Daddy, teased him with the dragon pattern jade pendant on his body, and said that he would give the jade pendant to him when he opened his mouth. It was a joke. It's just for fun, after all, the child is still young, and it's not yet time to speak."

Concubine Han Guifei seemed to know what happened, she had a proud and proud expression, as if Brother Ming had saved her face.

"Unexpectedly, that child was so weird that he really started to scream. Although he didn't know how to scream, he did. His Highness also kept his word, so he really took off the jade pendant and gave it to Brother Ming. Every day, wherever he goes, he must put it where he can see it, and even when he sleeps, he must be pressed under the pillow, and no one is allowed to move."

"But think about it, that jade pendant was rewarded by His Royal Highness's father after he became the crown prince. How could he give it to him so easily? That's why I thought about finding a similar piece of suet jade for Yu Zhisi to give it to him." Make him a piece of the same jade pendant, so as to exchange for His Highness's jade pendant."

After speaking, Fang Ruxuan also laughed.

Although it was not a private topic, when Fang Ruxuan was talking to Concubine Han, she was still concerned about the people around her, so when she passed by Concubine Lu, she deliberately paused.

As the two drifted away, Lu Rufei vaguely heard a few words, which were probably related to the mutton fat jade pendant. Suddenly, Lu Rufei's heart arose.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Lu Rufei was in a daze, the Ninth Princess beside her shook her arm and said.

"Oh, nothing..."

Smiling, Lu Rufei took her daughter's hand, and the two walked forward slowly.

Not long after Fang Ruxuan returned to Xuanyi Hall, Gu Yu who was beside Concubine Han came, holding a brocade box in her hand, opened it, round and square, all kinds of jade pieces filled the box.

Among them, there are naturally suet jade, but there are also better emerald jade, agate and chicken blood stones, which are dazzling.

"The empress said, the little prince is in a restless time now, and he likes colorful things the most. Since you want to ask the imperial system to make a jade pendant for the little prince, why don't you make something else together. You can carve a bergamot for the emerald jade." Melon, bloodstone can carve a little fox, and it will be played by the little prince when the time comes."

Gu Yu pointed to the jade pieces in the box and said, in the words, Han Guifei gave all the jade pieces in the box to Brother Ming.

"How is this good?"

With a look of astonishment on her face, knowing that she would not be able to send it back, Fang Ruxuan said with some emotion: "In that case, thank you, concubine mother."

"Princess Concubine, you are too polite..."

Gu Yu smiled sincerely, "Our empress regards you and His Highness the crown prince as the closest relatives in the palace, and the little prince is her closest grandson, so it's too late to hurt, and I wish I could give him all my good things."

After speaking, Gu Yu saluted and went back to Changle Palace.

Looking at the big and small pieces of jade in the box, Fang Ruxuan suddenly had a lot of feelings in her heart.

Although it is true that my brother is holding Chu Yuan's dragon-patterned jade pendant that symbolizes the status of the prince and will not let go, Fang Ruxuan's real purpose is to lure Concubine Lu Ru to take the bait. I felt a little ashamed of what I had done.

"Put it away, send these few dollars to the imperial system department, and make a few gadgets for Brother Ming..."

After picking out a piece of mutton fat jade and several pieces of brightly colored jade of various colors, Fang Ruxuan closed the box and let Lilac put it away.

For several days, the palace was calm and calm, but the weather had gradually turned cold.

Fang Ruxuan is four months pregnant, and her lower abdomen is slightly protruding, but wearing a thick jacket, it is not obvious.

On the contrary, it was Concubine Fang, who was seven months pregnant and seemed to be about to give birth, with an astonishingly big belly.

When meeting Concubine Fang outside the gate of Fengming Palace, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but stop, avoiding Concubine Fang on purpose, not going in and out with her.

Others don't know about Concubine Fang and King Yong, but Fang Ruxuan knows it all.

During those days when she was serving the six palaces again, Concubine Fang and King Yong had trysts several times in private. Now, even Concubine Fang might not know whether it was King Yao's or Yong King's.

However, in Fang Ruxuan's private heart, she still thinks that it belongs to King Yong. After all, apart from the little prince, there have been no heirs in the harem for many years. King Yao's age seems to be about the same. It's not like there are no other people around, why is she so lucky to get pregnant once or twice?

While thinking this way, Fang Ruxuan deliberately avoided Concubine Fang, for fear that something like the Mid-Autumn Festival last year would happen again. At that time, if Concubine Fang was involved again, Fang Ruxuan could not guarantee that she would still have such good luck. Meeting Concubine Han Gui who happened to appear made her innocent.

After entering the inner hall, Fang Ruxuan noticed that there were troublesome concubines, pointing at Concubine Fang's stomach in twos and threes, and whispering among each other.

Apparently knowing what they were talking about, Concubine Fang looked a little annoyed, but after all, she was still concerned about her identity and where she was at the moment, so she didn't get angry.

After Concubine Han and the others arrived one by one, after a while, Queen Zhou also came out.

After finishing talking about the affairs in the palace, Queen Zhou said in a deep voice with meaning: "The villains in the palace have been making trouble these days, and the Wanfu Palace is not peaceful anymore. If there is nothing wrong, you don't go there on weekdays. Go, lest you see and hear what you see in the future, and your mind will be disturbed."

The concubines agreed, and Concubine Fang hesitated a little.

"Concubine Fang, what's wrong?"

Queen Zhou noticed that her eyes flicked over her towering belly, and she couldn't help asking with concern.

Concubine Fang got up and smiled slightly, and said anxiously: "The concubine has taken the teachings of the queen's mother to heart, and I will not go there again in the future. However, last evening, the concubine went for a walk in the woods over there. At the gate of the Wanfu Palace, I picked up a piece of jade pendant, looked at it, it doesn't look like something in the palace, please ask your mother to learn from it."

Hearing the word jade pendant, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help looking at Lu Rufei. Sure enough, Lu Rufei had a smile on her face, but her hands were already tightly clasped together.

"What jade pendant?"

The most taboo thing in the palace is the Wanfu Palace. Now, Concubine Fang picked up a piece of jade pendant that does not belong to the palace in front of the Wanfu Palace. For a while, Queen Zhou's words brought out a bit of chill.

Looking back at Liuzhang standing behind her, Concubine Fang nodded to her, Liuzhang took out the jade pendant from the sleeve cage, lowered her head and handed it to Queen Zhou respectfully.

Seeing the bright red tassel hanging from Liushang's hand, Lu Rufei's heart froze, and her gaze became urgent.

Fang Ruxuan knew it well, and turned her head to look up.

Fang Shanggong took the jade pendant from Liushang and held it in front of Queen Zhou, and turned it over so that she could see the front and back clearly. When the word on the reverse was revealed, Queen Zhou's face became even more gloomy for an instant.

Lu Rufei's complexion suddenly paled after seeing the jade pendant clearly.

"Did you find it at the gate of Wanfu Palace?"

Queen Zhou looked at Concubine Fang hesitantly, as if she didn't believe her words.

Concubine Fang nodded, "The concubine has had people check around, and there is no abnormality around, and the sky was still bright at that time, probably, someone landed there when they passed Wanfu Palace."

As she spoke, she seemed to be afraid that the Queen of Zhou would not believe her, so Concubine Fang argued: "Everything I said is true, I would like to swear by the fetus in my womb, and I hope the Queen will learn from you."

"In this palace, it's time to check it out..."

Said in a cold voice, Queen Zhou's eyes slid across the faces of the concubines sitting down.

Seeing the faint nervousness behind Lu Rufei's calm and calm expression, Fang Ruxuan suddenly felt a little excited.
