The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 62 Doubt
The sunny day outside the window lasted for three consecutive days, and the snow in the courtyard was swept away by the palace people early in the morning, and the air was filled with the leisurely fragrance of the new soil from the snow.

The smell drifted into Wanyan Palace with the wind, and she took a deep breath, holding a needle and thread in her hand and embroidering a square juanzi with a happy expression.

Today is the day for distributing the special silver, but since An nobleman had a miscarriage, the palace servants in her side hall were fined three months of regular silver on the grounds of ineffective protection of the lord.

So early in the morning, everyone was heard complaining outside, until Mrs. An greeted the queen to return to the palace, the voices did not subside.

Yun Chan held a cup of snow plum tea and served it on the table next to Wan Lai's warming seat, looked at Wan Lai's embroidered Juan Zi with a smile and said, "My master's hand is so skillful, this 'magpies fly to send joy' pattern The description is vivid, look at the happiest bird fluttering its wings, as if it is about to grab the juan cloth and fly to the branch."

Wanyu looked up at her, slowly put Juanzi aside, and took Yunchan's hand.

Yun Chan wanted to dodge, but she couldn't resist Wan Lai.

The palm was spread out, and the stab wound had already been scarred, but it was still shocking to look at.

Wan Lai sighed slightly, and said with guilt: "I thought that I would take you from Mr. Ronggui, and I would give you a stable job. I never thought that it would not be as good as before, and I always feel that I have troubled you." She pointed out Jian lightly caressed Yun Chan's scar, his brows and eyes flocked together with concern: "Such a deep wound will leave a scar."

"Your master will kill your slaves if you say this." Yun Chan promised: "Your master treats your slaves well, and your slaves must be sincere and considerate of your servants. The slaves have no relatives in their families, so they enter the palace to be slaves. You are cold-eyed, and you have never been treated as a human being. Only the young master does not think that the status of the servant is low. After taking care of the servant for a long time, the servant now not only regards you as the young master, but also treats you as the servant's family." With these words, Yun Chan suddenly realized that she had made a mistake in her words, and hurriedly changed her words: "I mean, I mean. I think you are."

Wanyu was amused by Yunchan's embarrassment and raised a warm smile, then held Yunchan's hand and said softly: "It means that I am a family member, why should I be so cautious. If I didn't have you that day, I would have lost my mind I don’t know if anyone will survive to this day. You and I have gone through that incident, and you are considered a life-and-death relationship. You have no relatives. If I live a few months longer than you, can you treat me as your elder sister?”

"The servant is terrified, the servant does not dare to overstep." Yun Chan said respectfully, "The servant only wishes to serve the little master's side for the rest of his life, and dare not have any other thoughts."

While the two were talking, Shen Ye had already opened the main door and entered.

He was holding a three-layer five-blessings treasure food box in his hand, and he opened it in front of Wanyu and moved the dishes inside it one by one on the pineapple wooden table. After finishing all these tasks, he said in a serious voice: "Today, the imperial tea dining room is for the young master. The dishes for lunch are tofu mixed with scallions, crispy pickled cucumbers, assorted duck slices, custard bread, pearl and emerald dumpling soup, please wait for the little master to try the dishes one by one for the young master."

Shen Ye's voice was very high-pitched, and it was clear that he was listening to the Tai Tai who was waiting outside.

He took out the silver needle from the interlayer of the food box, handed it into Yunchan's hand, and said softly to her, "Please trouble girl."

Yun Chan naturally took the silver needle and began to try the dishes, while Shen Ye's complexion sank and he approached Wan Yu, and said softly: "My lord, I checked the wishful knot of the Lotus Flower Sutra according to your order. It is a style commonly used by the Horqin Ministry, but there is a piece of Babur flower petals sewn inside."

"Babur flower?" Wanyu asked suspiciously, "What is that?"

"The Babur flower is translated from Mongolian. This flower is an offering flower in Horqin. The petals of this flower are blue and symbolize tranquility and peace in Horqin. Ordinary people are not allowed to pick them at will." Shen Ye lowered his voice again: " But if you are a person of high status, you can embroider this flower on your personal belongings to pray for safety, or give it to a servant to show the promotion of that person."

Wan Lai caressed the armor of her little finger, and secretly said: "It really is her."

"Is there someone you suspect in my heart?"

Wanyu let out a muffled snort, and glanced out the window with cold eyes: "I thought that she had been friends with the elder sister for many years and treated me so close, how could it not be like this? But I didn't expect that people's hearts can be so sinister, it's disgusting." " Her face was full of disgust, and her hand on the desk gradually tightened unconsciously: "Master Shen, please tell Eldest Sister and Rong Yue about this, and let them be wary of Concubine Hui." As soon as these words came out, Wan Yu changed her mind After thinking about it, he immediately changed his words and said: "Don't tell Rong Yue, she is not as calm as Elder Sister, if she finds out that this matter broke out without evidence, she will suffer in the end."

Shen Ye showed a puzzled expression, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Ms. Hui? I know that the young master is in trouble. Both Hui and Xian are the ones who speak to the emperor the most. How could it be her?"

"If she hadn't been so vain and submissive, how could she have deceived the eldest sister for many years." Wan Lai glanced at the plain jade vase on the case, and the withered yellow stamens were extruding an arc towards her, like a ghostly smile. People hate.

"I was suspicious of Rong Yue when she was framed by someone. She and I were the only ones who often went in and out of Rong Yue's bedroom. Afterwards, she kept me from asking about the suspicious court lady in the Department of Punishment. Thinking about the current situation, under the guise of Snow Velvet made trouble, took the gardenia hair oil under the drawer of my dressing table, and knew that I gave the Luomei Snowflake Cake to An Guiren, and it was she who took the materials for making the snowflake cake to An Guiren, and now she is in Xuerong I found that wishful knot at the place where I fell into the water." Wanyu sneered, and said calmly: "There are only three masters of the Horqin tribe who have status in the palace, the queen mother, the empress dowager, and now the empress dowager is leaving the palace to pray for the late emperor. If not, the murder of the emperor's heir can be done by the Empress Dowager?"

After Jing Wanyu said this, Shen Ye also heard the trick, and said anxiously: "Then the young master should hurry up and report to the emperor."

"No proof, no evidence, what should I say before the imperial court?" Wanyu thought for a moment, then changed the subject: "Master Shen, in ten days' time it will be the day when Mrs. An has a miscarriage for one month. You go to Yikun Palace to report to the imperial court for me." Eldest sister told me that no matter what, she had to persuade the emperor to come to Yanxi Palace to see the nobleman who lost his son on that day."

As soon as Wanyu finished speaking, she heard the eunuch outside the door call: "Master Shen, I haven't finished trying the dishes for a long time, but the food in the imperial dining room is in danger?"

Shen Ye calmly took the silver needle from Yunchan's hand, and said to the door in a serious voice: "It's all right, today's children and grandchildren have sent more sweets and pastries, so you can rest assured after checking them one by one. Father-in-law, don't worry, it will come out soon." " After finishing speaking, he responded in a deep voice to the task entrusted by Wanyan, and hurriedly left the palace.

Yun Chan set up Lingxi bowls and chopsticks, and seeing Wanyu's cold expression, Nuonuo asked, "Master, the dishes are getting cold, let's eat quickly."

Wanyu suddenly felt that her eye sockets were warm, she closed her eyes heavily, squeezed her eyes hard again, bit her lips and said, "Now that I close my eyes, I still feel the same tragedy as when Xuerong died in front of me. My heart seems to be stuffed. It was blocked like a boulder."

"Young master is in better health, so don't be too sad." Yun Chan seemed to have something to say, but she didn't say it out.It was after Wanyu opened her eyes that she saw a change in her expression, and she said after questioning: "My lord, this servant has something weird in her mind. That day after the empress interrogated Liu Yue alone, she blamed all the crimes on her, and even sat on her She executed her whole family, young and old. But Liu Yue is only a first-time court lady, even if she hates Concubine Xian again, there is no point in making fun of the whole family's names, right?"

"If the Empress knew early in the morning that it was Concubine Hui who instigated Liu Yue behind her back, it would be reasonable. Didn't you see that she was in the palace that day, and every word she said was on behalf of Concubine Hui?" Wan Lai looked out the window with cold eyes, her tone filled with hatred Said: "No matter what, Xuerong's life, I will definitely engrave it on the Empress and Concubine Hui."
