The foolish prince counterattacks the concubine

Chapter 36
In the woods of the back mountain, the ancient trees grow extraordinarily lush, with many branches spreading out. The branches and leaves on the branches are lush, and the dense green leaves are crowded together, like an umbrella, blocking the heat of the hot summer.

The brilliance of the stars falls on the ground through the tiny gaps in the leaves. Walking in the silent woods, it seems to be in a paradise, extraordinarily peaceful.As soon as the wind blew, a gust of coolness hit, making people shiver uncontrollably.

Passing through the dense woods, there is a wide field of vision, the flowers are fragrant, the birds are singing, the stream is gurgling, and the breeze is gentle, the whole is a picturesque place.There is a long wooden bridge over the creek, with wooden fences on both sides as handrails.At the end of the wooden bridge is a beautifully restored wooden house.

In the room, a white dress was fluttering, and the long hair falling behind was fluttering in the breeze.The ten fingers touched the strings, and with a slight movement, a crisp music came out.

The door of the house was open, and the bright sunlight fell on the doorway, illuminating the wooden house brightly.Suddenly, a black shadow blocked the sunlight, and a man in a black robe walked in.

"My lord, I have already found out what you asked me to investigate." The man in black stood by the strings and said to the man playing the piano.

The man playing the piano chuckled, put one hand on the strings, and raised his head. His face was as handsome as an exile's, emitting bursts of golden halos in the sunlight.

Hua Qingchen looked at the night beside him, his dark eyes exuded a kind of domineering deterrence, but there was a faint desire to attract people to spy.

He lightly curled the corners of his lips, listening to the news that the dark night had come back.It turned out that the woman really bought a man with money to snatch the marriage, but her man hadn't come yet, but was robbed by other hired bandits.

Heiye looked at him incomprehensibly, he was just a good-for-nothing young lady in the Mu family who didn't love her and had no rights, why did her master always go out of her way to save her, and almost lost her life last time.

"My lord, in fact, I have never understood that the fourth young lady is a waste that everyone has said, why did you almost kill yourself because of her alone?"

Hua Qingchen couldn't help but sneered, and stared at him with sharp eyes: "Everyone said that I was worse than her, but what you saw was not the good-for-nothing prince known to the world. Some things , you can’t see its essence with your eyes. Only with your heart can you discover the mystery.”

Standing up and walking to the window, Hua Qingchen looked outside, enjoying the free air freely, and only in this place could he be his true self.

"Then are you going back to the mansion tonight or staying here? I'm afraid the princess will become suspicious after a long time."

"The wounds on my body haven't fully healed yet. If I go back, if I'm found out, it will be even worse. Don't worry, she is having a great time playing in the palace, and she doesn't have the time to take care of me, a stupid prince."

Hua Qingchen smiled, seemingly confident.He still smiles a little bit when he thinks about the matter of punishing the fat manager yesterday, maybe he can use her hand to get rid of the eyeliner planted in the palace.

Compared with this free and carefree wooden house scene, a group of people in the palace are horrible.In the scorching sun, both men and women were doing farm work in the weed-covered open space.Her cheeks were flushed from the sun and shed some skin, and the sweat as big as soybeans was dripping non-stop.

Mu Xirao, however, leisurely sat under the big tree to enjoy the shade and rested, with vanilla fan serving her beside her.The two looked at the servants working in the field from time to time, and if they saw someone slacking off, they would shout angrily, scaring the servants into panic.

Lu Cui was still digging the ground with a hoe in her hand, big drops of sweat ran across her cheeks, her sunburnt face suddenly felt like being stung by a bee, her hands were also blistered, and her shoulders seemed to be crushed by a thousand pieces of gold Sore and weak like a boulder.

Really tired, Lu Cui stopped what she was doing, walked to the side and sat down to rest in the shade.

Xi Rao gave Xiangcao a look, and Xiangcao stepped forward smartly, with one hand on her hips and the other shaking a fan: "I said, are you here to work or to play? Don't treat yourself like a spoiled young lady, hurry up and do it for me." live!"

While Lu Cui fanned her hands to relieve the heat, she glared at her gruffly: "What's your name as a maid? You're not just a dog next to her. If you have the ability, try to work, don't hide in the While talking sarcasticly. Tell you, I will quit today!"

Throwing away the hoe in her hand, Lu Cui stood up and stared at her bitterly.Seeing someone taking the lead, several men dropped the things in their hands and shouted: "Don't do it, don't do it, isn't this driving us to death!"

Seeing that someone agreed, Lu Cui emboldened and yelled at Mu Xirao, who was sitting under a tree to enjoy the shade: "We were all strictly selected to work in the mansion, not to do farm work and plow the land to grow vegetables. We I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have always done things according to my duty. Now that the concubine has entered the palace, she will punish us to death. This is not intentional to make things difficult for us servants. We refuse to accept it!"

"Yes, we are not convinced! We are not convinced!"

"Come on, let's go back to the mansion right now, we don't need to suffer here!"

The crowd echoed one after another, dropping the tools in their hands and gathering in the shade to protest.

Lucui looked at the new concubine who had just entered the mansion, raised the corners of her mouth in disdain and added fuel and jealousy: "We have an agreement with someone, so I don't believe that her concubine can drive us out of the mansion with one hand!"

A goose-yellow gauze is particularly conspicuous in the heat wave. When the wind blows, the gauze flutters and the dress flutters, flowing like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

Mu Xirao sat under the big tree, calm and composed.Looking at the rebellion of the servants in the mansion with cold eyes, there was a sneer in his heart.

Get up and approach slowly.With sharp eyes and a sense of refinement, she smiled and stared fiercely at Lu Cui, who was the leader of the challenge: "Since you have a labor agreement in your hand, you can go to the government and sue me. I want to see Let's see what reason you have to sue all those who are lazy and skimp on money. I am a majestic princess of Prince Rui's mansion to rectify the unhealthy tendencies in the mansion. If you have the ability, you can sue. If you want to continue to work with wages, please be quiet. Today This concubine didn't intend to make things difficult for you, but just wanted to take this opportunity to test everyone's sincerity to the palace. It seems that they are all powerful people who only enjoy the blessings and can't share the troubles. If the palace falls into trouble one day in the future, I think everyone will not be like today Give it willingly, since everyone has not passed this test, why is it necessary for my concubine to keep you?"

Turning her sharp eyes, she said sharply: "Xiangcao, go and pay these people, I will fire them all! The palace doesn't need to keep a bunch of useless people!"

Vanilla stepped forward cleverly, fanned her with one hand and said, "Miss, don't worry, Vanilla will do it now."

A group of people wanted to make a noise and go on strike, but unexpectedly they were dismissed in such a muddled way, and they were a little dumbfounded for a while, and were stunned.

Lu Cui was the first to react, and quickly trotted to Mu Xiluo, knelt down and begged for mercy, "I know I was wrong, so please don't drive this servant out of the house, my lord princess, there are still sick parents at home to take care of." I beg you to be merciful and spare this servant."

Xi Rao stood expressionless, but glanced coldly at Lu Cui kneeling at her feet.

When the group of people saw her, they immediately knelt down in front of her, begging in unison not to drive them out of the mansion.Mu Xirao originally thought that this trouble would cause the group of people to retreat and leave, but she didn't expect to kneel down and beg for mercy.It seems that it is really not easy to want to get rid of the eyeliner in the mansion for a while.

With a lot of thoughts, Xi Rao asked everyone to stand up, and the anger on her face eased slightly: "Since everyone has realized the mistake, then everyone should do the work that is still unfinished, and tell the kitchen to Give everyone extra meals, as long as I work wholeheartedly for the mansion in the future, I will not treat you badly."

After getting the personal promise, the troublemakers dispersed and continued to pick up the tools on the ground to work.

The night was quiet.There was no more noise from the idiotic prince in the palace, and it seemed extraordinarily quiet for a while.Mu Xirao took vanilla to enjoy the cool in the yard, the weather was so hot that people didn't feel sleepy at all.

"It's too hot today, I really can't sleep. Vanilla, why don't you go out with me." Xi Rao suddenly wanted to go out of the house for a walk. For some reason, she really wanted to see that person again.

Vanilla looked at the sky, it was so dark that even Cicada became quiet.Going out so late, if something happens, it won't be worth it: "Miss, if something happens when you go out so late, how can I bear the responsibility? Besides, we are still two weak girls who don't know how to kung fu. .”

Xi Rao didn't take it seriously, she was used to the charm of the modern city at night, but now she was not used to coming to this place.She pouted slyly and smiled: "What are you afraid of? I'm such an ugly girl and I'm afraid that someone will plot against me? Let's go and see the street market at night."

As he said that, Mu Xirao dragged the timid Xiangcao and walked outside. As soon as he got out of the gate, he saw a figure walking out from the alley in the backyard of the palace.

"Lu Cui? Where is she going so late? Seeing that sneaky person must be doing something shady!" Xiang Cao recognized the shadow of that person as Lu Cui from the palace, and said in a low voice.

"Then do you want to go and see what shameful things she did?" Before Xi Rao finished speaking, she grabbed Xiang Cao and followed behind secretly.

Before Vanilla could react, just as she was about to grow her mouth to scream, she was covered by Mu Xiluo, and warned sharply: "Don't scream, we will be discovered later, maybe we will be killed and silenced!"

Vanilla immediately nodded obediently, and the two followed Lu Cui carefully.I saw that Lu Cui was extremely careful, and after walking for a while, she would turn her head and look behind, making sure that there was no one to continue on her way.Turning left and right in the small alley, Lu Cui finally came to a ruined temple. Seeing no one there, she took something out of her sleeve and stuffed it into the hole in the base of the Buddha statue.

After getting up, he looked around again, and when he saw no one left, he hurried away.
