Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 20
Jiang Li was silent for a moment, and then said: "Qing Ge, what happened to the other three girls these two days?"

Qing Ge said: "The girl from the Liu family and the girl from the He family have nothing to do, but that princess Gu Ling was taken out and opened up a special mansion. Girl, why is there such a big difference between the same person who married the prince! Hmph I don't know what kind of aggrieved person that Ninth Prince is, and you will suffer such humiliation when you bring the girl down."

"Don't say such things in the future." Jiang Li went back without thinking.

"Why?" Qing Ge said dissatisfied with pouted.

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and the hand that was stretched out in the snow that night flashed in front of his eyes, so firm, powerful and lonely.

She paused, and said, "Anyway, don't say these things in the future."

Qing Ge gave her girl a strange look, then silently closed her mouth, Jiang Li looked into her eyes and said suddenly: "Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Qing Ge was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Girl, didn't you want me not to meddle in my own business? Ignore those lowly girls? What do you want me to say now?"

Jiang Li smiled slightly: "You can't change your temper. Those who hurt others will be hurt. If she has malicious intentions, should we suffer in vain?"

For Ziyu and the others, Jiang Li was not only too lazy to take care of them, but more importantly, it reassured those who were far away in the Hou's mansion, making them feel that they were still in control.Anyway, if these people go, there will still be people coming, so it's better to save some trouble.

After hearing Jiang Li's words, Qing Ge blinked, then turned his head to look around, and whispered: "Those girls, I saw them quietly carrying things to meet the two of the Liu family and the He family yesterday. A young girl. Hmph, she eats inside and out, and doesn't even think about who is their master, so she went to curry favor with those two."

Ingratiate?I'm afraid it's not flattery.

Jiang Li smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Recently, pay more attention to those girls, please tell me if there is any change."

"Yes." Qing Ge nodded.

Jiang Li was at peace, not afraid of moving, but afraid of not moving.

At this time, the door was knocked three times, Qing Ge hurriedly went forward to open the door, only to see a servant lowered his head respectfully, and said: "Princess Duanhe, Princess Guling sent someone to see you .”

Jiang Li's gaze passed in front of him, wondering when there was such a servant here, even standing there with his head bowed, there was an air of neither humble nor overbearing.Jiang Li nodded lightly and said, "Bring him in and let me have a look."

The maid turned her body slightly, and then a nanny wearing a navy blue printed dogwood pattern stepped forward, smiled at Jiang Li and said respectfully: "I send my greetings to Princess Duanhe."

Jiang Li said with a smile: "You don't need to be too polite. Qingge, bring some tea."

"The princess doesn't need it. I will leave when I come to deliver something." The old mother clapped her hands as she said.

Two maids came in with a stack of things, one of them was holding three hairpins, one was a golden phoenix with a bead in it, one was an apricot hairpin, and one was a magnolia jade hairpin.The other girl was holding an invitation card.

The old mother picked up the invitation and sent it to Jiang Li, smiling: "Princess, this is an invitation specially written by our princess. I hope you will appreciate it at the plum blossom banquet in five days' time."

Jiang Li took it with her plain hand, her eyes flickered slightly, and said with a smile: "Jiang Li will definitely live up to the princess' kindness."

The nanny took a step back respectfully, then picked up the golden phoenix with a pearl in her brocade handkerchief, held it and said, "Master, this is a gift from the princess, I hope you don't dislike it."

Jiang Li smiled at the corner of her mouth and said, "Please thank the princess for me, Mammy."

Qing Ge stepped forward to take it, and then took out a piece of silver from herself, but the nun didn't refuse, she took it and said: "Princess, I'm leaving first, and I still have to invite two girls."

Jiang Li lightly smiled and said, "Mommy, go slowly."

The nun gave a blessing and then withdrew.

When the room was quiet again, Jiang Li opened the invitation, and saw ink and plum blossoms printed on the paper, and the content of the invitation was written in the delicate but sharp hairpin lowercase letters.Qing Ge held the golden step and handed it to her, saying: "Miss, that Princess Gu Ling is not bad."

Jiang Li seemed to sigh: "Yes, it is not bad. The gift alone is not simple."

After hearing this, Qing Ge looked at Jiang Li strangely, and asked stupidly, "What's not simple?"

Jiang Li put down the gold-painted invitation card, and then asked: "If you come in from outside the palace, will you first enter our Ningxin Garden or the courtyard of those two girls?"

Qing Ge said angrily: "It must be them."

Jiang Li smiled and said: "Yes, it's them, but why did they send them to my yard first? Princess Guling is not an ordinary person. If you want to reach Ningxinyuan, you have to go through the yards of girls from the Liu family and the He family. , then the gift-giving must be known to them. Then there are two results, first, tell those two that their princess cares about Na Duan and the Princess; second, she values ​​Na Duan and the Princess Above them. In this way, on the one hand, my status has been improved, but on the other hand, I will also be made things difficult by those two people."

After hearing this, Qing Ge stammered with his eyes open: "This, this Princess Gu Ling is very thoughtful!"

"Not only." Jiang Li sighed and shook her head, "This invitation is small, but it was written by her. We can't refuse it, otherwise it will be a shame on her. Of the three hairpins, Jin Buyao is the most precious, and Jinfeng holds the title Zhu, the word 'phoenix', pushed me to the same position as her, telling me not to hold back. And she deliberately let me see all three hairpins, but she is actually taking me in."

"Take you? Why?" Qing Ge was surprised.

Jiang Li caressed the golden step, and saw that there was a line of small seal characters engraved on it.

Qing'e Su women are cold-resistant.

She looked up out of the window and said lightly, "I don't know."

She is a person who can't even guarantee the status of the future princess, what else can she use?

Five days is still early, and there is no movement in the palace. The imperial concubine has fallen down, Princess Yuelun has recovered, and Jiang Li's name has been submerged in the wind and snow in the north, leaving no dust.

But things were not settled in the end.

In fact, it’s okay when it snows, but when the weather is the coldest, it’s the thawing time, because on a sunny day, the snow-covered world melts and the cold air becomes heavier.

Jiang Li was lying on the bed, pressing two thick light cotton and red printed quilts on her body, carefully looking at a book in her hand by candlelight.

Qing Ge came in from the door with a hot water handkerchief, saw Jiang Li's appearance, and couldn't help complaining: "Girl, you only lighted two lamps, aren't you afraid that your eyes will burn out?"

But Jiang Li didn't seem to hear it, her eyes were stuck on the book, and her brows were slightly frowned.
