Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 78
Xi'er stretched out his hand in a hurry, don't want the money delivered to the door for nothing, Prince Xiong gave Xi'er all the golden peanuts, a handful full, touched his chest at last, and muttered, "Bring so many , almost didn't scare me to death."

Seeing that Concubine Ming doubted that he was not poor, Prince Xiong raised his neck and said, "I am poor. I asked for this from Brother Chen. He has a box full."

After finishing speaking, he took two golden peanuts from Xi'er's hand and said, "These two are for my prince's hard work."

Xi'er watched helplessly as Prince Xiong took two golden peanuts, and then left without looking back.

Behind him, Wei Mingyi sent Xu Jiao, the eldest daughter of Cheng Guogong's mansion, over, and saw Xi'er full of golden peanuts, under the sun, it was particularly eye-catching.

"This, so many golden peanuts?" Xie Wanhua exclaimed.

Ming concubine smiled lightly, "The Ninth Prince gave it to me just now."

Ming concubine didn't want to show off, but the big tree head maids were all watching. She couldn't hide the fact that the Ninth Prince gave her golden peanuts, so she simply admitted it openly.

Xu Jiao was surprised, while Wei Mingyi said with a look of envy and jealousy, "It's so good, why did the Ninth Prince give you golden peanuts, and so much?"

Ming concubine doesn't like people to get to the bottom of it. The Ninth Prince gave her golden peanuts. It's between her and the Ninth Prince. There's no need to explain it so clearly to them. She just said, "So you're sending Miss Xu out of the house?"

Wei Mingyi saw Ming concubine changed the topic, pouted, there are some things that she can't say without saying, she will always know.

The Ninth Prince came to the door suddenly, which aroused people's curiosity, and sent Ming concubine so many golden peanuts, Su Shi didn't ask, the old lady still wanted to ask a few questions.

No, Ming concubine was going back to Hanyuyuan, turned around and didn't take many steps before being called to Changhuiyuan to answer.

Xi'er was holding a bunch of golden peanuts, and her hands were sore. After entering the house, she asked the maid to find her a brocade box, and Ming concubine stepped forward. When the old lady saw the golden peanuts in Xi'er's hand, she frowned slightly and said, "Do you recognize the Ninth Prince?"

They all came to the door, saying that they didn’t know each other and no one believed it. Ming concubine admitted generously, “I met once in the palace. Before entering the palace, I was accidentally hit on the head by the Ninth Prince with a golden peanut, so I just smashed mine. The golden peanuts were confiscated, the Ninth Prince probably thinks that I like golden peanuts.

When I saw the prince of Zhennan, I accidentally mentioned that the prince of Zhennan came to the mansion last time. After returning, one of his eyes was healed. Maybe he thanked me and asked the ninth prince to bring me some golden peanuts to play with. The prince saw that the prince of Zhennan had a box full, so he took so much and gave it to me..."

Such an honest child, although a little bearish, is still quite likable.

The old lady nodded, it was okay if it was given by the Prince of Zhennan, but if it was given by the Ninth Prince, he would not be able to accept it.

The second wife was not interested in golden peanuts, she smiled and said, "The servant girl saw that you gave the Ninth Prince a brocade box, which contained some small porcelain bottles, what is in it?"

Ming concubine was very displeased with the tone like interrogating a prisoner, so she just said, "It's nothing."

Ming's concubine's tone was cold, and the second wife's face froze, "Is it because the second aunt asked too much, the Ninth Prince has a noble status, I'm afraid that if something happens to him casually, you can't afford it."

Ming concubine curled her lips into a smile, "Second aunt, don't worry, Ming concubine still has some sense of propriety."

The second wife's stiff face was slowly chapped, she had never seen such a ignorant person, she cared about her and didn't appreciate it, "You just need to be modest."

The old lady looked at Concubine Ming and said, "Your second aunt also cares about you."

Ming concubine twisted the embroidered handkerchief and said, "I know Second Aunt cares about me, but I'm in a bad mood and don't want to explain too much."

Wei Mingyi's almond-shaped eyes widened, "Are you still in a bad mood after getting so many golden peanuts?" One must be content.

Ming concubine nodded lightly, "The prince of Zhennan knew that I had the ointment in my hand, so he asked the Ninth Prince to come to me for it. When I bought the ointment, I never thought that I would marry him. He wanted to try his luck, but I couldn't help it." Here, give him all that is left."

Xie Wanhua looked at her, and the second wife said, "Didn't you say that the ointment was taken away by Ming Rou, why are there still?"

It was really a lie, and it required countless lies to prove it, Ming concubine didn't panic, she just said, "The ointment is cheap, I bought a lot, and when I went back home, I didn't pack my things, so I took them to Su's house together. The sticky note on the medicine bottle fell off. I didn't know what it was for, so I didn't dare to use it indiscriminately, so I threw it aside and didn't care.

After the ointment brought home was taken away by the third sister, Xi'er saw that I was unhappy, and thought that the ointment might not have been thrown away, so she made a special trip back to Su's house to look for it, and I did find it. I haven't had time to find the doctor to see what it is for , gone again..."

With this explanation, the second wife didn't doubt it, and just smiled meaningfully, "Women are not allowed to stay."

I also wanted ointment, but if my sister didn't give it, there would be an incident of the purple jade bracelet being stolen, which almost ruined Wei Mingrou's reputation. It was the turn of Zhennan Wang Shizi to give it all, explaining that my concubine's elbows are turned outward, and the girl is extroverted Woolen cloth.

She really helps Wei Mingrou all the time, and Ming concubine is not a good-tempered person, so she just said indifferently, "Second Aunt loves Third Younger Sister, everyone in the house knows, but the pain belongs to the pain, just let it go without distinguishing right from wrong. It is a wrong thing for her to rummage through the boxes and cabinets with her permission. I just blamed the third sister for her own good. If the Prince of Zhennan is like her today, he will send someone into my boudoir to rummage through the boxes and cabinets without my permission. , what I gave him was not ointment, but arsenic."

In the room, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

The old lady gave the second wife a sideways look, and the second wife tightened her hand under Yunxiu, but she couldn't keep her face from admitting her mistake.

If you want to be considerate, all the girls in this mansion are Xie Wanhua. As soon as she sensed that the atmosphere was not right, she came out to smooth things over, and changed the subject, "I didn't expect that my cousin would have ointment in her hand, just now she became the eldest girl of the Duke's mansion." Speaking of which, the three cousins ​​took away the ointment from our eldest cousin, and said it was gone without asking you, she is still a little unhappy..."

After hearing this, the old lady said, "What ointment does she want?"

Before Xie Wanhua could reply, Wei Mingyi said first, "It's also for removing scars. She was scratched on her arm before, leaving an ugly scar."

She thought she was sincerely apologizing, but she didn't expect it to be for the ointment.

Ming Concubine looked at Wei Mingyi, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Since she is here to ask for ointment, why is there a bit of coldness in her eyes?

After sitting with the old lady for a while, when the old lady got tired, she left after a few concubines.

After leaving the Changhui Courtyard, Concubine Ming asked Xi'er, "Have I offended the young lady of Duke Cheng's mansion before?"

Xi'er shook her head like a rattle, "No, today is the first time the girl sees her."

After finishing speaking, he was puzzled again, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Mingyu shook her head and walked straight forward.

After returning to Hanyuyuan, Ming concubine drank a cup of tea, was bored, and went to the study.

Sitting at the desk, Ming Concubine continued to finish the half-painted painting, and then frowned when she tidied it up.

She flipped through it several times and asked anxiously, "Who has come to my study?"
