Resourceful beauty

Chapter 332 Want to cover up
"It's just trying to cover up."

Tapping the table lightly with his fingers, Chu Yuan's tone seemed to know the situation in Lizhou well.

Fang Ruxuan felt relieved and didn't ask any more questions. She stepped forward and took Chu Yuan's arm, and while pulling him towards the inner hall, she patted the horse and praised: "His Royal Highness is wise."

Chu Yuan laughed, and pinched Fang Ruxuan's nose affectionately, as in the past when she treated brother Ming, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help turning her head away unnaturally.

The smile in Chu Yuan's eyes was even bigger.

Spring is cold, although the weather is still a bit cold, but in the afternoon it is much warmer than before. When the sun is shining, Fang Ruxuan will hold Brother Ming's hand and take a walk in the courtyard of Xuanyi Hall.

The little guy has become more and more mischievous, impatiently following Fang Ruxuan's footsteps and walking slowly, often letting go of his hands after a while and jumping forward, staggering, as if he was about to fall in the next moment, let nurse Chen follow An anxious look on the side.

Fang Ruxuan was not worried at all, "If he wants to run, let him run. If he falls and knows it hurts, he will walk slowly."

The sun was shining warmly on her body. Fang Ruxuan felt that the hand caressing her belly warmed up in a short while. She squinted her eyes and raised her head, as if she could feel the fine hairs on her face stand up one by one. The feeling is very comfortable.

The courtyard door slammed softly, and Fang Ruxuan turned her head to look, and saw a somewhat familiar servant girl behind Ding Xiang.

"Slave silk embroidery, the ninth day of the lunar new year is the ceremony for the Ninth Princess, like a concubine sending a slave to send invitations."

Leaning over to meet Li, Si Xiu got up and handed over the pink post in her hand.

Fang Ruxuan replied with a smile: "On that day, I will definitely be there."

With a happy face, Sixiu saluted again, then turned to leave, but before leaving, his eyes passed over Ming Geer who was trotting in the yard.

After returning to the inner hall and sitting down, Fang Ruxuan asked Ding Xianggui to offer a congratulatory gift.

On the ninth day of February, the wedding ceremony for the nine princesses begins in Lu Rufei's Jinghua Palace.

When Fang Ruxuan arrived at Jinghua Palace, there was already melodious music in the palace, not to mention all the concubines and concubines in the whole palace, even Queen Zhou also arrived.

The guest of honor is the old lady of Chang'an Marquis, and the guest of praise is a girl Fang Ruxuan has never seen before. Behind Fang Ruxuan, Sangshen introduced in a low voice: "That is Princess Anyang, the youngest daughter of the old Pingyang Wang family. She has a close relationship with Princess Nine on weekdays." of."

Nodding in understanding, the Jiji ceremony began. Accompanied by the slowly sinking music, the benevolent Mrs. Chang'an Marquis walked to the center of the hall and began to slowly recite the prayers. Then, the praiser, Princess Anyang In front of them, the two stood on the east and west sides.

After three prostrations and three retreats, the Ninth Princess reappeared in front of everyone, wearing a bright red wide-sleeved gown with gold trim and a gorgeous golden phoenix hairpin on her head. The youthful and astringent, turned into a bright and charming girl.

On the side, Lu Rufei's eye circles couldn't help turning red.

After the Jiji ceremony was over, the parents had to send the congratulatory speech. King Yao didn't show up, so Queen Zhou said some congratulatory speeches on behalf of Queen Zhou that everything will go well in the future. However, Concubine Lu Ru, who lost her temper very rarely, just a few words, choked up for a few times Weeping, as if the nine princesses are going to get married tomorrow, and the mother and daughter will never see each other again in this life.

Looking at such a scene, Fang Ruxuan felt a little strange in her heart.

The melodious and cheerful music sounded again, and Fang Ruxuan's inner feelings were quickly interrupted by the noise. When she raised her eyes again, the Ninth Princess had already picked up the wine glass and toasted the old lady Chang'an Hou, Princess Anyang and others.

The banquet after the Jiji ceremony took a long time to end. When the nine princesses made a toast to Fang Ruxuan, sipped tea, and presented congratulatory gifts, Fang Ruxuan greeted Queen Zhou and the others, and went back to the East Palace first.

After the Ninth Princess's wedding ceremony, the House of Internal Affairs began to prepare for the wedding of the Ninth Princess in June. Since she is the biological daughter of Concubine Lu Ru, the Queen of Zhou will send this to Fengming Palace for the ceremony. The whole matter was handed over to Concubine Han Gui and Concubine Lu Rufei.

It seems that since then, Lu Rufei has become more and more introverted. Except in Fengming Palace, Fang Ruxuan seems to have never seen her appear again, as if this person disappeared from the palace.

It was said that Concubine Lu Rufei was busy with the wedding dowry of the Ninth Princess all day long, and the documents sent by the House of Internal Affairs were all verified. However, Fang Ruxuan felt sensitively that there might be something happening in it that she didn't know. know things.

Could it be that Queen Zhou's beating a few days ago had an effect?

Suspiciously guessing, Fang Ruxuan quickly denied it.

With Lu Rufei as a person, even if she has to hold back for a while, it will only be for a while. As long as she is strong enough, the attitude of the House of Internal Affairs is good when the Ninth Princess gets married, and it doesn't matter how the people in the Marquis of Chang'an treat her after she gets married. , will be highly valued, so in Lu Rufei's heart, she will never be willing to show weakness in this moment.

Show weakness?

When this word appeared in her mind, Fang Ruxuan inexplicably thought of the Marquis of Chang'an.

Could it be that the Marquis of Chang'an wanted to do something? Concubine Lu Rufei was afraid that people would link her with Marquis of Chang'an again because of what happened to Yupei a few days ago, so she acted like this?

After all, it was all her own speculation without any basis at all. Fang Ruxuan could only think about it this way, but she turned her head and gave Mu Mian an order.

The days continued to move forward smoothly and smoothly. Seeing that the day when King Ping took Wu Xiuyan to fief the land was getting closer day by day.

"I've made up my mind to bring the servants to Mozhou. After I go, maybe it's time to come back. The people around me must choose those who can do their best. Do you want us to help?"

In the inner hall of Xuanyi Hall, Fang Ruxuan hurriedly changed the subject and asked, seeing Wu Xiuyan who was always smiling with sobs and sentimentality on her face.

Nodding her head, Wu Xiuyan smiled and blinked, "His Royal Highness King Ping usually looks like a non-contested person when he is in the palace, but he seems to be a different person when he leaves the palace. He can't even rub a grain of sand in his eyes. Today's Prince Ping’s mansion, the servants are all reliable, so I plan to take them all over. My mother’s house has two companion rooms, so it’s enough, and the Crown Princess Xie and His Royal Highness miss us.”

"What are you being so polite for?"

Said resentfully, Fang Ruxuan said softly: "You know, His Highness truly regards King Ping as his own brother, so after King Ping left, His Highness will not even have anyone to speak his mind to."

In this case, Fang Ruxuan had never said it before, but she knew that Prince Ping and Wu Xiuyan definitely knew it.

Sure enough, Wu Xiuyan nodded knowingly, "That's why my Highness wants to go to Mozhou earlier. Mozhou is close to Lizhou. If there is any trouble, they can send you a letter in time, and they are brothers."

The movement in Lizhou and King Rui's thoughts, I'm afraid everyone who is interested has seen it clearly, only King Rui feels that things are done seamlessly. Thinking of this, Fang Ruxuan feels more at ease.

Three days later, King Xuan submitted a memorial and asked to go to the fiefdom.

The next day, King Yao approved the granting of five prefectures and counties around Jingzhou in the southeast of Yao Kingdom to King Xuan. The day of departure was in the middle of March, which happened to be half a month between King Wanping and King Rui.

In this way, King Yong was the only one who remained in Shangyang City and remained silent for a long time.

King Rui's early arrangements, King Xuan's late arrival, and King Yong's standstill seemed clear at first glance, but Fang Ruxuan felt that there was something strange about them.

But Chu Yuan was in the royal study room every day except for going to court, and when he returned to Xuanyi Hall, he would chat and laugh with Fang Ruxuan in a happy mood, or teach Brother Ming to read with a three-character scripture, as if he would not let go of anything In her heart, Fang Ruxuan knew that she was unnecessary.

With Chu Dong and the others as Chu Yuan's eyes, Chu Yuan probably knows everything about the outside world, so why should he worry about it like an emperor who is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry?

Thinking this way, Fang Ruxuan simply stopped asking Mu Mian to pay more attention to these things, and focused on raising the baby, while keeping an eye on the movement in the palace.

The matter of Concubine Ning of the Wanfu Palace, accompanied by Queen Zhou's beating and concubine Lu Ruxuan's deliberate bowing of her head, seemed to have made no progress. Outside the palace, Kapok was still digging for news at the Marquis of Chang'an, and the situation seemed to have reached a stalemate. Fang Ruxuan When I think about it, I feel a little helpless.

But looking back, on the day of Lu Rufei's birthday, Fang Ruxuan had a new direction for thorough investigation when she said that Concubine Fang defrauded Concubine Lu out of desperation.

Concubine Ning's premature birth...

When Concubine Ning was pregnant, there were already rumors in the palace. If she really wanted to prove her innocence, she only needed to give birth to the child at full term. When the time came, it would be on the same day as Tong Shishi's bedtime, and then there would be a blood test. Concubine Ning will always have a chance to clarify the way to identify relatives.

However, Concubine Ning gave birth prematurely.

It is said that prematurely born children are weak and will not live to be old, but the young Chu Yuan lived safely until he was seven years old in King Yao's palace, and then he was sent to Da Yuan as a hostage. This point, right?

Thinking of this, Fang Ruxuan knew that she had secretly sent someone to thoroughly investigate the people in this palace who were involved with Wanfu Palace, and the direction was right.

Since the direction is correct, it must be something that I have neglected, otherwise, how could it be impossible to find even one related person in the huge harem?
Or, his actions have already fallen into the hands of others, and the mantis catching cicadas and orioles are behind, and all useful clues have been covered, so he didn't find it.

The Hui Lan that Chun Nier pointed out the previous time was executed not long after she talked about the old affairs of the Wanfu Palace because of an accident in the Leng Palace. Fang Ruxuan did not believe that this incident was a coincidence from the beginning to the end.

Since it wasn't a coincidence, someone deliberately arranged for Hui Lan to tell him those things through her mouth.

So, is Chun Nier also inextricably linked with that person?
Following this line of thought to the depths, Fang Ruxuan gradually had new ideas in her mind.
