famous concubine

Chapter 63 Hongmen Banquet (2)
"Bang Dang" The sound of the porcelain bowl falling to the ground was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky in the strict palace, it immediately shook all the sounds, and for a moment, the surroundings were so quiet that a needle could be heard.

"Your servant deserves to die, your servant deserves to die..." The palace maid knelt down on the ground, her shoulders trembling like sieves, the sound of kowtowing and her terrified voice intertwined, causing the suffering master Dongfang Yu to frown.

Looking at the half-wet sleeves stained with oil, I was secretly glad that the soup was only lukewarm!

"It's just that I accidentally splashed my sleeves. I'll take care of it later. Get up." The girl sighed silently for a second, with a faint smile on her face, "No one can say what happened accidentally. , right? Aunt Liu?"

"Clumsy things, hurry up and clean up the pieces!" Aunt Liu, a third-rank female official, scolded the maid with a cold face. Benevolence is a blessing to the servants, and I also invite the two young ladies to accompany the servants to the side hall to change their clothes."

Dongfangyu glanced at the girl next to her who had also been baptized with soup, her sister Dongfangni, Shi Shiran stood up and followed Aunt Liu out.

Seeing this, Dongfang Ni could only keep her dissatisfaction silent, and followed her out to change clothes.

Turning and turning, after walking for about half an hour, Aunt Liu brought them into an elegant and luxurious place, and said respectfully: "Please take off your clothes first and hand them over to the servants."

Dongfang Yu took off his coat, glanced at the bracelet that was also stained with oil, and hesitated for a moment in his eyes.

"Second miss, although this servant has poor eyesight, I can tell that the bracelet on your wrist is not extraordinary. If the oil stain is not dealt with in time, it may not be removed after a long time. Why don't you take off the bracelet and let this servant clean it together? "

Dongfang Yu thought for a while, then took off the bracelet and handed it to Aunt Liu.

Before going out, Aunt Liu suddenly turned her head and said: "The two young ladies can pick out the clothes here at will, and the servant will call someone to wait on them. After finishing the dirty clothes, the servant will come back as soon as possible. Please also invite the two young ladies to come back when the servant returns." Don't move around before, the servants are worried that the two ladies are not familiar with the environment, and it would be bad if they get lost."

The two Dongfangyu sisters could only smile and nod in response.

However, when Aunt Liu left, they waited for more than half an hour, until the clothes were neatly dressed, and no palace maids came to serve them.

After another quarter of an hour, Dongfang Yu couldn't help being a little irritable, and muttered, "Why has Aunt Liu gone for so long?"

"Well, it's been a long time!" Dongfang Ni nodded in agreement, but she looked at Dongfangyu with a faintly weird look.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Aunt Liu appeared in front of them with an apologetic face. Dongfang Yu took the bracelet and looked at it carefully. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, she put it on her wrist again. Under the guidance of my aunt, I went directly to the rare garden where hundreds of flowers are in full bloom.

When they arrived, they saw a luxurious phoenix robe slowly walking among thousands of flowers. There is no doubt that the dignified and elegant woman who can wear a phoenix robe must be the queen of the dynasty. The beautiful girl is trying her best to show her best and best appearance.

The corners of the eyes flicked down the corners of the profile, and there stood a nurse with steady eyebrows, looking at the girl next to the queen from time to time, and then lowered her head to remember something.

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Yu suddenly had a lot of information in his head. It is said that the crown prince got married two years ago. Now there are two side concubines and countless concubines in the mansion. Only the crown princess has a daughter. Everyone has nothing to do.

Could it be that in today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, the Empress intends to select people from among them to enrich the Crown Prince's mansion, in order to extend the crown prince's too thin offspring?
Thinking of her own identity, Dongfangyu shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly. Regardless of whether the queen chooses someone intentionally or not, it will have nothing to do with her anyway. Why don't she enjoy the beauty of the flowers in full bloom.

After thinking about it, she happily went to enjoy the flowers.At this time, the empress glanced in her direction intentionally or unintentionally.

In the oriental language, one can faintly see the mole of tears under the corner of the queen's eyes flashing a strange light for no reason.

"I'm a little tired." The queen raised her eyes lightly, and smiled kindly: "Aunt Liang, you lead the ladies to the imperial garden for a walk. I'll go back to rest first."

After sending off the queen, the ladies naturally happily followed Aunt Liang to the Imperial Garden, and Dongfang Yu also left with the crowd. During the period, Princess Youlan accidentally wet her skirt and left for a while.

An hour later, Aunt Mo, the queen's confidant lady-in-waiting, came to the Imperial Garden with a dignified expression, and called all the ladies of the official family together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I obey the Queen's command to gather everyone together to announce something."

All the young ladies looked at each other for a while, seeing Aunt Mo's expression, everyone knew that it must be something bad.

Aunt Mo looked at the silent ladies of the government, cleared her throat, and said slowly: "Just now, when the servants were dressing up the empress, they discovered that there was something missing in Fengxi Palace; It was still there before entering the palace."

The ladies of the official family couldn't help but make a fuss when they heard this, and someone asked, "What does Aunt Mo mean by that? Are you suspecting that some of us have unclean hands and feet?"

Aunt Mo raised her eyelids with a blank expression, and slowly glanced over the heads of the girls, "Your maidservant is nothing more than a servant girl, and has no right to question you ladies."

These words...indicate that the empress doubted them!

Dongfang Yu pursed her lips and smiled faintly. She was now aroused with curiosity, what exactly did the queen lose?
Another person in the crowd said: "We are not close to Fengxi Palace, even if we want to, we are powerless!"

"That's wrong!" Dongfang Wu came out of the crowd, her expression faintly excited, and the dark light in her eyes fluctuated. She stood next to Aunt Mo, with a malicious smile on her face, looked at the ladies, and said: "Didn't some of us go to the side hall of Fengqi Palace to change clothes? I think the most suspicious ones are naturally them."

"Wu'er!" Mrs. Ben was chatting with other officials' wives, and when she saw the situation here, she came over immediately, her voice contained anger, and she sternly reprimanded the girl who looked like a lotus.

"Miss Dongfang is right." Aunt Mo lowered her eyes slightly, as if she breathed a sigh of relief, "But..."

The lady in the crowd who was eager to get rid of the relationship quickly came up with an idea: "Aunt Mo, why bother, please ask the ladies who have changed clothes in the side hall to stand up by themselves."

Dongfangyu lowered her long and thick eyelashes, covering her flowing and changing eyes, and sneered silently, quietly replaying the details of changing clothes in her mind.

Aunt Mo calmly swept Shen Gui's eyes slowly, and said hesitantly, "This..."

The sweet girl Duan Xiling was the first to step out from the crowd. The little golden bell on the skirt followed her and jingled immediately. irritable.
