The reborn concubine seeks the world

Chapter 214 Serving Tea Has Been Repaired
Murong Qingfeng left suddenly, Ding Xiang was found to have poisoned the queen and was executed directly, but all the truth was completely buried by the queen mother.

I knelt in front of Murong Qingfeng's mourning hall, while Lan Qiu looked at Murong Qingfeng's coffin with a pale face. I saw something wrong with her expression, so I immediately looked at her and said, "Auntie, don't I can't think about it, the fourth prince is still young, if even my aunt goes with the master, I'm afraid the servants will not be able to take care of the fourth prince alone."

Hearing this, Lan Qiu turned her head and gave me a slight look, and suddenly, I saw her tears streaming down her face.

As soon as I saw her appearance, I reached out and handed her a handkerchief.

"Auntie, the fourth prince is the only thing that the master cares about most now. You are the old man by the master's side. If you think about it, the master also hopes that you can always be by the fourth prince's side."

As I said this, Lan Qiu's tears flowed more and more fiercely. In my heart, Lan Qiu has always been a patient, intelligent, and strong person. Now it seems that her heart is actually very fragile.

Ziyuan hugged the fourth prince, and we looked at Lan Qiu and said, "Auntie, let's hug the fourth prince!"

Hearing this, Lan Qiu turned to look at the fourth prince, stretched out his arms and hugged him up, the fourth prince seemed to know that his biological mother had passed away, and now he was crying very hard.

Seeing the fourth prince crying, Lan Qiu felt uncomfortable. She shed tears while coaxing the fourth prince, and Ziyuan on the side also looked at this scene with red eyes.

In the evening, Yu Wenjin came to Qingyun Palace. He sat in Murong Qingfeng's mourning hall for a while. I could feel that Murong Qingfeng's death also gave Yu Wenjin a lot of blows. His expression was very ugly. , but regarding Murong Qingfeng's will left before his death, I sent it to Qianyuan Hall early in the morning, but Yu Wenjin didn't make any decisions about the Fourth Prince.

Before Yu Wenjin left, he called me out the door alone.

"The servant has seen the emperor!"

I walked over and saluted him.

Yu Wenjin said with a sullen face: "The empress is dead now, what are your plans?"

Hearing this, I lowered my head and said respectfully: "I don't have any plans, I just let the Ministry of Internal Affairs assign my slaves to other lords' wombs to be on duty."

Hearing this, Yu Wenjin sighed slightly, "You don't want to be my man, and I don't feel relieved if I arrange you in another palace. You can go to my Qianyuan Palace to be on duty!"

Naturally, this news did not surprise me. After all, Xiuhe had said earlier that I would be transferred to Qianyuan Hall, but working under Yu Wenjin's nose, I naturally had to keep a distance from him.

We boldly asked: "Dare to ask the emperor what he wants the servants to do in Qianyuan Hall?"

Naturally, I don't want to change clothes, take off clothes, and take a bath for him. I think Yu Wenjin understood my thoughts a long time ago, so I heard him say: "I have never been very satisfied with the court ladies serving tea in Qianyuan Palace. , you go over and serve tea with her."

Hearing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately blessed my body and said: "My servant, thank you, Your Majesty!"

But my matter has been settled, but the fourth prince still needs a good place to go, so I immediately asked: "Your Majesty, the fourth prince is the biggest concern of the master before he dies. I implore the emperor to arrange for the fourth prince. A good place to go."

Hearing what I said suddenly, Yu Wenjin frowned slightly, "Are you worried that the queen will go, and the fourth prince will be bullied by others in the harem?"

Hearing this, I nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is a child after all, and this servant is really worried."

Seeing Yuwen Jinfang said again: "I don't feel relieved to entrust the fourth prince to anyone to be raised, that's all, I will send someone to take the fourth prince to the side hall of Qianyuan Hall, and all the people who take care of the fourth prince will go there together. Do you think this is good?"

I can feel that Yu Wenjin's previous words have a bit of deep meaning. It seems that it is impossible for Yu Wenjin to agree to Murong Qingfeng to hand over the fourth prince to Yu Wenli to raise him. It can also remind all the concubines in the harem that the fourth prince is the emperor's favorite prince, and now the emperor is raising him himself, which naturally shows that even though the fourth prince has no biological mother, his status is still noble!
Thinking of this, I immediately knelt down.

"Thank you majesty, slave!"

This sentence, I say sincerely.

Seeing me like this, Yu Wenjin sighed immediately.

"Zheng'er is my own flesh and blood, and I will never let him be bullied in the slightest. You go to Qianyuan Hall to be on duty, and you can also visit him in your spare time. After all, you are his aunt."

Yu Wenjin knew my identity as Murong Qingluan long ago. Hearing this, I held back my mind slightly and didn't say anything else. Naturally, I never admitted to Yu Wenjin's identity as Murong Qingluan , but since he is so sure of my identity, he naturally checked it out.

In the evening, I told Lan Qiu the news. When Lan Qiu heard the news, she looked a little better. Naturally, she was also worried about the safety of the Fourth Prince.

The news of Murong Qingfeng's funeral spread to Murong Mansion, when Murong Yuan came to Qingyun Palace at night, his face was very ugly.

After I saw Murong Yuan kowtow to Murong Qingfeng, I personally burned some paper money for Murong Qingfeng, and then Murong Yuan casually asked me about the whereabouts of the Fourth Prince.

"Now that the queen has passed away suddenly, the fourth prince has made arrangements?"

Hearing this, I nodded slightly.

"The emperor said that the fourth prince will be taken to the side hall of the Qianyuan Hall and raised by him personally. Lord Murong can rest assured."

Hearing this news, Murong Yuan's expression improved a little, and he sighed slightly, "The queen's fate is unlucky, the news of the queen's death came back to Murong's mansion a few days ago, Aunt Qin used to punish my father He was shocked by the death of the queen, and now that the empress has passed away, Aunt Qin also committed suicide yesterday."

When I heard the news suddenly, my body froze.

Although I didn't have a good impression of Aunt Qin and Aunt Sun in the Murong Mansion back then, but I have a very good relationship with my two older sisters. Now that Murong Qingfeng has passed away, her biological mother, who has white hair, sent her black hair People, more importantly, her daughter died in the palace, and Aunt Qin, as Murong Qingfeng's biological mother, could not send her the last time in person. Seeing her for the last time, God was too cruel to her, and it was Murong Qingfeng. Feng has been in the palace for the past few years, even though she has become a queen, she has not had the chance to meet Aunt Qin, and she has left too many regrets.

"I told you this today because I want to tell you that the fourth prince is lonely and pitiful now, and you must take good care of him. In the Qianyuan Hall, I will often go to the fourth prince to ask for a pulse."

Hearing this, I nodded slightly.

"Lord Murong, don't worry, the fourth prince is the master's greatest concern before he dies, and this servant will definitely protect the fourth prince!"

See what I said, Murong Yuan burned some paper money for Murong Qingfeng again, his expression was tense all the time, I could feel that Murong Qingfeng was his biological sister after all, besides, their siblings were always in the Murong Mansion. Having grown up together, Murong Yuan must be in a bad mood.

Immediately, I looked at Murong Yuan and said, "Master Murong, please express my condolences!"

Seeing what I said, Murong Yuan's eyes turned even redder, but he stood up and looked at me and said, "Zhou Ning, I will definitely investigate the cause of the Queen's death, I will not let her To die in vain like this, to use a court lady to take the queen's life, the people behind the scenes really have a good plan!"

Hearing what Murong Yuan said suddenly, I raised my eyes and looked, fortunately, I was the only one in the mourning hall, and there was a newcomer Yingchun outside, but Murong Yuan's voice was not too loud. It was raining heavily all over the day, and now Yingchun could only hear the sound of the rain clearly.

I looked at Murong Yuan and said, "Master Murong, please wait for a while."

I went out, turned to look at Yingchun and said: "Go to the small kitchen to have a look, the brown sugar ginger water for the fourth prince is ready, you can send it to the fourth prince in a while!"

Hearing this, Yingchun immediately said, "Yes, Miss Ning."

Seeing Yingchun gone, we walked into the house again.

Murong Yuan looked at me deeply, he naturally knew that I must have something to say to him alone when I left Yingchun.

"Lord Murong, this servant has already found out who killed her master, but this servant is just a court lady, and there is no proof. The difference between her and I is too big. It is really difficult to bring her down with my ability. If Murong If the lord is willing to avenge the master, the slaves will be grateful!"

As soon as I said this, Murong Yuan's expression became cautious.

"Tell me, who killed the queen!"

Hearing this, I just opened my mouth and said: "It's the Queen Mother and Lady Xuegui! Lord Murong, this servant has always felt guilty. On the day the master died, this servant was going to the House of Internal Affairs to collect the moon silver from Qingyun Palace. It happened that this servant was in the courtyard When Mr. Xuegui came to bring snacks to the master, the servant girl checked that it was not poisonous, and then left, but the slaveservant never thought that the poison was in Dingxiang's hands. Later, Mr. Xuegui gave the things to Dingxiang. Tricks in the pastry."

Seeing what I said, Murong Yuan's face turned cold, and then I continued: "Master Xuegui once mentioned to the servants that the tribute fruit for making snacks was rewarded by the Queen Mother. Lord Murong, everyone in the palace knows , Mr. Xuegui belongs to the Empress Dowager, so naturally Mr. Xuegui has done such a rebellious thing, so he must have something to do with the Empress Dowager!"

After I finished speaking, I saw Murong Yuan clenched his fist tightly.

"Queen, she is the aunt of me and the queen, how could she do such a thing!"

It seemed that Murong Yuan didn't believe too much in the Empress Dowager's actions, so I immediately said, "Master Murong, just think about it, if the Empress Dowager really trusts her master, she will definitely not let Xuegui come into the palace to help her To seize power, of course, Xuegui is the daughter of the empress dowager's mother and brother, so the empress dowager naturally trusts her more. Now that Xuegui is being favored, but the master already has a prince, the empress dowager must be anxious to push Xuegui to a high position..."

In fact, I knew in my heart that the queen mother's real purpose was to kill Yu Wenjin, and she was afraid that she would still want to choose the third prince of the concubine Zhen to be the next puppet emperor. instigated.

Naturally, on this matter, I still have some reservations about Murong Yuan, but the Queen Mother and Mrs. Xue Gui are the murderers who killed Murong Qingfeng, so naturally there is no doubt about this matter.

Hearing my words, Murong Yuanfang frowned.

"The empress dowager is in a high position. It is not an easy task to bring her down. Now that she has killed the empress, she is afraid of me. No wonder I have been in charge of the empress hospital for so long. But the Empress Dowager never asked me to check her pulse, I think she never believed me from the very beginning!"

I heard Murong Yuan say these words, and then I looked at him and said, "Since Master Murong has already figured this out, he should be able to think more. If the Queen Mother's plan really succeeds, I am afraid that the Murong Mansion will be in danger." I'm going to become her abandoned son completely, servant servants heard that although Master Murong's mother is a sister with the Queen Mother, but she is not a sibling with the Queen Mother. Thinking about it, the Queen Mother has such a cruel temper, so she will definitely not care about this sister affectionate."

Hearing this, Murong Yuan was silent for a long time.

"Now that we have reached this point, the Murong Mansion can't bear it any longer."

Then Murong Yuan raised his eyes and looked at me seriously and said: "Zhou Ning, you better go to the Qianyuan Palace to serve the emperor and take good care of the fourth prince. I have my own plans for the queen mother."

Hearing what Murong Yuan said, I felt a little more confident in my heart. Now that Yu Wenli has to deal with the Queen Mother, there is an extra Murong Yuan here. Even the Empress Dowager, no matter how unfathomable she is, she might not be able to resist it. A two-sided attack.

When Murong Yuan left Qingyun Palace, it was still raining heavily outside, I looked at Murong Yuan's back, and felt a chill in my heart, Empress Dowager, Lady Xue, Yu Wenjin, your good days are coming to an end!

I stayed in Qingyun Palace until after Murong Qingfeng's first seven days, Xiao Hezi came to Qingyun Palace.

"Miss Zhou Ning, the emperor ordered the servants to remind the girl that the girl should go to the Qianyuan Hall to be on duty tomorrow, and the side hall of the Qianyuan Hall has been vacated for the fourth prince at this moment. You can inform the people around the fourth prince that it's time to move to Qianyuan Hall."

Hearing what Xiao Hezi said, we smiled slightly and said: "From now on, the slaves will work together with the father-in-law in the Qianyuan Hall. The father-in-law is also an old man in the Qianyuan Hall. I hope that the father-in-law can take care of the slaves more. It is."

Hearing this, Xiaohezi immediately laughed and said: "What did you say, the girl is someone who is valued by the emperor, and it is the emperor's will that the girl can come to the Qianyuan Hall to take care of him. The slave also expects the girl to take care of the slave more." .”

Hearing this, I looked at Xiao Hezi with a smile and said, "Elder-in-law was joking, so we can take care of each other more."

Seeing what I said, Xiao Hezi immediately scratched his head with his hands and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, the servant is a bit stupid."

Because Murong Qingfeng has passed away, Lan Qiu is now serving in the fourth prince's house, so most of the affairs in the fourth prince's house are left to Lan Qiu to take care of.

Moving from Qingyun Palace to Qianyuan Hall, although it is said that the fourth prince lives in the side hall, it is still far away from the main hall.

Early in the morning, I was led to the tea room by Wang Shunxi, and Wang Shunxi said with a smile: "Young lady is now working as an errand in Qianyuan Hall, and the task of serving the emperor with tea and water will fall on the young lady's shoulders."

Hearing what Wang Shunxi said, we smiled and said: "My lord, the slaves are just here to serve tea to the emperor, and the slaves have to learn from their seniors!"

As soon as I said this, I saw a tea-serving court lady come in, I naturally recognized this court lady, she was Cuimei, the tea-serving court lady who had been on duty in Qianyuan Palace.

Seeing Cuimei come in, I immediately blessed her, "Zhou Ning greets sister Cuimei."

Seeing me like this, Cui Mei glanced at Wang Shunxi's expression secretly, then she looked at me anxiously and smiled: "What are you doing, girl, you and I are both tea serving ladies in front of the emperor, so don't be so polite with me .”

Hearing this, we laughed and said, "Sister, you are joking. My sister is an old man in front of the emperor. Zhou Ning is just a newcomer. I have to ask my sister to take care of me in the future!"

Seeing what I said, Cui Mei's complexion was not very good-looking, so she saw Wang Shunxi smiled and said: "Cui Mei, since Zhou Ning has already said so, you should not be polite to her, but Zhou Ning used to be in the end. She is also the maid next to the empress, her status is also first-class among the maids, you must take care of her more, and don't let her lose her manners in front of the emperor."

I don't know why, but I always feel that Wang Shunxi's words seem to mean something, but I can't figure out what he meant.

Naturally, I can almost handle things like making tea, but Cuimei doesn't know that's all, and I used to be Yu Wenjin's first wife, so naturally I have always been clear about his preferences.

After Wang Shunxi left, Cuimei called Dongmei and Chuntao who were waiting at the side to her.

"Dongmei, Chuntao, this Miss Zhou Ning is on duty with me now, when you see her in the future, you must treat her as you would me!"

It was said that Dongmei and Chuntao blessed their bodies, "Yes, sister."

Then, these two people blessed me, "Dongmei, Chuntao, I met Miss Zhou Ning."

Seeing this, I hastily stretched out my hand to support the two of them, "You two don't need to be polite, I'm just a latecomer, if you say it's Sister Cuimei who thinks highly of me!"

Hearing this, the two of them looked at each other, in this look, I suddenly felt a trace of mockery, and immediately my heart shuddered.

Looking at it like this, Dongmei and Chuntao didn't seem to convince me very much, I turned to look at Cuimei's expression secretly, and then I understood a little bit, looking at it like this, Cuimei is leading two little girls The palace maid is acting with me!

That's right, she used to serve tea alone in front of the order hall, but now I'm one more, whoever she is is not very happy.

Thinking about this point, I never felt disgusted towards Cuimei. If I wanted to serve tea to the emperor, even if she didn't like me very much, she would not dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor.

Cuimei looked at Dongmei and Chuntao and said: "You guys go to make some Maofeng tea later, remember, pay attention to the heat."

Hearing this, the two respectfully said, "Yes, sister."

After the two of them went down, Cuimei looked at me and said with a smile: "You are new here, and you don't know how to make tea. I will let Dongmei and Chuntao cook it, and you can bring it to the emperor in a while. You just came on duty today, and it was the emperor's order, if you don't serve tea in front of the emperor, I'm worried that the emperor will blame you for being lazy."

Seeing what Cuimei said, I smiled slightly and said, "Well, Zhou Ning will naturally listen to her sister."

After saying this, Cuimei left, and I stayed in the tea room. Dongmei and Chuntao went to the compartment to make tea, but they never came to talk to me.

The tea in the tea room is of course various and expensive, but I was also Yu Wenjin’s first wife after all. I don’t know, Yu Wenjin’s favorite tea is Longjing, and the tea he dislikes the most is Maofeng. Cuimei deliberately asked Dongmei and Chuntao to cook Maofeng, and then I carried it to the front of the hall. This intention is really deep!

From the tea room, I came to the room where the tea is made in the compartment. At the moment, the fragrance of tea is overflowing, but I can smell two scents of tea, one is Maofeng and the other is Longjing.

Immediately I understood, Cuimei is really a good plan, she is afraid that she will be reprimanded by Yu Wenjin after I put Yu Wenjin on Maofeng, and she will go to Longjing again, thinking of this, I am smiling walked over.

"Are you all making Maofeng tea?"

Hearing this, Dongmei and Chuntao pretended to be polite and said: "As for the girl, these two pots are from Maofeng. My aunt said that after a while, the girl will present a pot to the emperor, and my aunt will also serve a pot herself."

Immediately, I smiled slightly, "Thank you."

Hearing what I said, the two of them immediately laughed and said, "Miss, you are welcome."

After the two pots of tea were boiled, Cui Mei also came in, seeing me, Cui Mei was slightly surprised, but I smiled and said, "Is sister also here to get tea?"

Hearing this, Cui Mei nodded, "Yes, the pot of tea in the Qianyuan Hall is getting cold, now that the tea is ready, Zhou Ning, you can take it into the Qianyuan Hall with me."

Immediately I smiled and said, "Yes, sister."

Cuimei naturally distinguished which pot was Longjing and which pot was Mao Feng, and immediately she took the Longjing pot as expected, and I took Mao Feng's pot without haste.

Seeing me like this, Dongmei and Chuntao laughed secretly, but Cuimei kept pretending to be calm, and she turned her head to look at me and said with concern: "Be careful of hot hands, the freshly brewed tea is very hot. .”

Hearing this, I smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, sister, I have a sense of proportion!"

Instead, I followed Cuimei to the Qianyuan Hall, but there was one thing I didn't tell Cuimei, Yu Wenjin really didn't like to drink Maofeng, but I also knew that even if Yu Wenjin was angry, I would serve it to him. A pot of Mao Feng, but he definitely won't do anything to me, after all, he has different feelings for me, if Cui Mei knew that Yu Wenjin intended to accept me as his concubine, she would not dare to target me like this.

Walking into the Qianyuan Hall, Yu Wenjin was critiquing papers at this time, before I had time to serve tea, I saw Wang Shunxi come in and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Xuegui brought you some snacks, does Your Majesty want to see you?"

Hearing this, Yu Wenjin frowned slightly, but he said: "Let her in!"

I could feel some helplessness in Yu Wenjin's tone, and it seemed that he didn't really want to see Mr. Xuegui.

Soon, I saw Mrs. Xue came in with a suit in her hand. Looking at the food box in her hand, I couldn't help but remember that she also went to Qingyun Palace to deliver cakes to Murong Qingfeng. Murong Qingfeng's life, I immediately clenched my hands, feeling cold in my heart.

"The concubine has seen the emperor!"

As soon as Mr. Xuegui came in, he walked up to Yu Wenjin with a smile on his face.

Immediately, I came back to my senses and let go of my palm.
