Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 53 Trouble
It's just that Ming concubine didn't react much when she heard it. It took two days to find out. If Qing Xing hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about it.

The fourth wife's investigation methods are average, but she is shrewd. She went to find the second wife first, and left with a smile on her face. Obviously, the second wife gave her more benefits than the white jade bracelet. She wanted the second wife to make trouble. Great, that's unlikely.

Ming concubine glanced at Xi'er, Xi'er went over and took a purse and gave it to Qing Xing.

The purse is not heavy, but it is there anyway, and it is she who came to serve in Hanyuyuan. The first reward given by the girl is of great significance. Qing Xing knelt down and thanked Ming concubine. Ming concubine smiled and said, "As long as you are loyal, diligent and smart, I won't treat you badly."

Qing Xing nodded repeatedly, and when she exited the door, she saw that she had a purse in her hand, many maidservants surrounded her and asked, "What did the girl reward you?"

Qing Xing didn't know what was inside, she opened it and saw a pair of lilac white earrings, small and cute, she immediately beamed with joy.

The little maids were envious when they saw it, the girl is really generous.

Inside the house, Ming concubine was rubbing her wrists. After taking medicine for a few days, she was already much better. Thinking of something, Ming concubine told Xi'er, "Bring me the golden needle picture I drew at Su's house."

As soon as Ming Concubine finished speaking, Xi'er slapped her forehead. She looked at Ming Concubine timidly and said, "I don't know where the drawings are. When I went to Su's house to clean up, I didn't see the drawings. I planned to go back home and tell Miss, but the slaves forgot..."

Xi'er shrank her neck, as if she was afraid of being scolded.

Ming concubine frowned tightly, how could the blueprints disappear? When she left, she purposely pressed it with a paperweight, so that it was impossible to be blown away by the wind. She lived in Xiaokuayuan, and the maids of the Su family would not enter the house even if they sent word. It was impossible for their master and servant to rummage through her things after they left.

Xi'er looked at Ming concubine cautiously, and said, "Why don't you draw another picture?"

It's not difficult to draw another one, but the question is where can her blueprint go? Could it be the third cousin who took it?

Ming concubine decided to ask Xi'er to go to Su's house to ask about it tomorrow, because she didn't need two pairs of gold needles.

Zhennan Palace, Chen Xiangxuan.

Chu Mochen sat in a wheelchair, his eyes covered with sorrow, looking at the setting sun in the west, as if admiring the afterglow of the setting sun.

Zhao Feng stood aside, the wind in the evening was a bit strong, and the lotus pond was blowing like a beautiful woman dancing, graceful and graceful.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhao Feng glanced and saw the princess coming, he hurriedly said, "My lord, the princess is here."

He turned his head slightly, and based on the sound of footsteps, he could know exactly where the princess was, but the silk blindfold made the princess feel distressed when she saw it, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She asked, "Is the eye disease still not getting better?" ?”

Chu Mochen shook his head, and said in a disappointed voice, "No."

The concubine said, "Why is there no improvement at all? Didn't Dr. Ming say that your prescription works, so just keep taking it?"

Chu Mochen looked into the distance, and said, "It's just a quack warlock. If he cured Mrs. Su by mistake, he may not be able to cure me."

Zhao Feng stood aside, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, he looked at the princess and said, "My lord, now the son can only pin his hopes on Miss Wei, the imperial decree bestows a marriage blessing, when do you and the lord plan to let the son marry her? "

The concubine touched Chu Mochen's head and said, "Although it's a joy, she can't just pick a day to bring Miss Wei back. She can choose you between the fourth prince and you. My Zhennan Palace Don’t treat her badly, Miss Wei’s horoscope has already been sent to the ancestral hall, and will be sent to Qin Tianjian tomorrow for you and Miss Wei to choose a date together.”

trouble!

Chu Mochen looked unhappy, but what made him even more unhappy was yet to come.

In the distance, a servant girl ran over and said, "Princess, when the old lady was chanting sutras and praying for blessings, the Buddhist beads suddenly broke. The eldest lady said it was an ominous omen."

The concubine's face darkened slightly, and a sneer flashed from the corner of Chu Mochen's mouth.

A good night's sleep.

Woke up the next day feeling refreshed.

Coupled with the bright sunshine, I feel even more happy.

After breakfast, Concubine Ming took Xi'er to Changhui Courtyard to pay her respects, and when she reached the screen, she heard people talking about Concubine Sun Guifei's rash on her face. The third wife felt sorry for her, and said, "This time , I don’t know who Concubine Sun was following. The rash on her face did not disappear overnight, but it became more serious. Disfigured."

The second wife said calmly, "Ming Rou just married the Fourth Prince. If Concubine Sun Gui is disfigured and loses her favor, it will have the biggest impact on the Fourth Prince. Come out, I'm afraid that even the whole family will not have a good life in this life."

The second wife's sinister smile with some gloating made Xi'er tremble, and she looked at Ming concubine worriedly.

Although she didn't know how the girl poisoned Concubine Sun, she was sure that Concubine Sun's rash was caused by the girl. If Concubine Sun found out, she would not have to skin and remove the girl's bones.

Concubine Ming didn't respond. Concubine Sun Guifei wanted to poison her, but she just made her develop a rash, which disappeared after three to five days of itching, so she was soft-hearted. As for the scars on her face, is there any medicine in the palace to remove the scars? None?
Sitting at the side, the fourth wife saw that Mrs. Su was a little absent-minded, she smiled and said, "What is sister-in-law thinking, I feel a little out of my mind."

Su came back to her senses and said, "I'm thinking about my concubine getting married. The date of her wedding hasn't been set yet. I haven't taught her how to do needlework. She definitely can't do the wedding dress. Miss Liu Xiu of the Su family Her workmanship is excellent, I wonder if I should go back to Su's house and invite her..."

Before she finished speaking, the second wife interrupted her and said, "Your concubine is getting married, so it's fine if she doesn't embroider the wedding dress herself, let Su's embroiderer do it, there's no need to make people laugh, we didn't even get any from Dingbeihou's mansion." The embroiderer who made the move."

The old lady frowned imperceptibly, and a look of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

The Su family was afraid that the Hou Fu would disapprove, so they hesitated. Now hearing what the second wife said, she felt that she hadn't considered it.

Ming concubine walked over and said with a faint smile on her face, "Who would laugh at us and ask Su's embroiderer to make a wedding dress for me? Apart from the Hou's mansion, only the Su family knows about it. Since my mother said so, Naturally, it can be guaranteed that the Su family will not tell the outside world that the servants in the mansion are so loose-mouthed, and it is time to take care of it. Besides, is this embarrassing?

When the imperial court still refused to accept the borrowing of soldiers and food, my marriage to the prince of Zhennan was arranged in a hurry. The mansion was afraid that the preparations were not well prepared, and there would be no suitable embroiderers outside the mansion, so I asked the Su family to borrow some to help. Handle, it seems that our Dingbeihou Mansion and the Su family have a close relationship, and my grandfather's family loves me. For such a big matter of sesame and mung bean, my mother should decide by herself, and tell my grandmother everything, so I don't want to exhaust my grandmother. . "

Su is ashamed, as a mother, her mouth is not half as smooth as that of Ming concubine.

The old lady nodded appreciatively, and said, "My concubine is right. The Zhennan Palace is eager to rejoice. When to get married, it should be decided today. When the decision is made, look at how many embroiderers are missing. Invite a few from the Su family to come back and help."

The second wife looked at the kind smile on the old lady's face, and said, "My concubine was dull and reticent before, but now that she recovers from her illness, she can speak well. I'm still not used to it."

Ming concubine looked at her and said with a smile, "Does the second aunt like the former concubine Ming or the current concubine?"

The smile on the second wife's face froze for a moment, and then she smiled wider, and said, "It goes without saying, of course it is now. I used to keep my head down, but now my eyebrows are beaming, and there is a spirit between the eyebrows. It is just a sight to see." blessed."

Ming concubine didn't blush at the words of praise, she only breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's good that second aunt likes Ming concubine. For the past two days, fourth aunt has been investigating Yubracelet to frame Ming concubine, and she rushed to the west courtyard in anger yesterday. Rumors abounded in the house, saying that the second aunt ordered the servant girl to steal the fifth sister's jade bracelet and plant it as a spoil for Ming concubine, and Ming concubine was panicked, fearing that she had done something wrong and offended the fourth aunt..."
