Meng Qingtie looked at Meng Chan'er with a blue face.Meng Chan'er was tired of laughing, she reached out and wiped the tears from laughter in her eyes, and stood up."
Sister, let's go and see Mr.
Su."
Meng Qing urged with a stinky face.Meng Chan'er straightened her sleeves and pulled the folds on her skirt, then she looked back at Meng Qing slowly, she did not answer Meng Qing's words positively, but said something else: "I know you like the prince, but the identity between us and the prince is the difference between the clouds and mud, you are so obsessed, there is no good end." ”"Sister!"
Meng Qing's eyes widened, and he also stood up from the stool: "What's wrong with my identity?!"
”"You're a maid!"
Meng Chan'er's eyes also widened: "How could the son of his dignified King Teng marry a slave as his wife?"
It's a fluke that made you sit in the position of your aunt, half slave and half master, will the prince take you seriously?
Will your life be comfortable?
”"What's wrong with being an aunt, as long as the prince likes me and spoils me, my aunt can also live a prosperous life."
Meng Qing's face was slightly red, she snorted coldly and said: "Besides, look at our eldest lady of the Tengwang Mansion now, she is from a young lady, but she has been married to Prince Teng for so many years, but she has the title of the eldest lady, and she has not even been crowned with the title of princess, and the title of this princess is not taken away by a little-known little palace maid in the capital!"
”"You ......"
Meng Chan stomped her feet angrily: "The vine princess in the capital was given by the royal family, she used to be a palace maid who served people, and she also came out of the palace, where do you have her share of creation!"
”"Huh."
Meng Qing sneered twice: "My sister always thinks that I am a bad person, I really don't have the appearance of my sister, but I am still ice and jade, not like my sister, my body and heart are dirty!"
”Meng Qing's voice was cold, her eyes were red, and after she said this, she turned around and walked out.The wind blew in through the open window, blowing the bead curtain, and the pale pink hibiscus petals swirled through the window, and with the help of the wind, they went around and around and fell to the ears and temples of Meng Cicada.Meng Chan'er stood in the middle of the room as if she had lost her soul, her red Luo skirt had been stained with wine, and the blue ribbon tied around her waist was fluttering in the wind.Outside the door, there was the sound of tables and chairs moving, it was the end of the wine banquet, and the singers were closing the door and locking it.Meng Chan'er stood in a daze for a while, and the sound of the bead curtain jingling brought her mind back."
Meng Chan'er, what are you doing in a daze?"
Su Yunsheng lifted the curtain and walked in.Meng Chan'er rolled her eyes, sat down in her chair, reached out and lifted the flask from the table in front of her, and poured herself another drink.Su Yunsheng walked to the opposite side of Meng Chan'er, he didn't sit down, he just looked down at Meng Chan'er, who was drinking like water: "I came here today to give you a reminder for the sake of your loyalty to the prince for so many years." ”"Wake up?"
Meng Chan'er raised her eyes to look at Su Yunsheng: "Could it be that Su Gongzi's news is better than that of Cicada?"
”Su Yunsheng was impatient with Meng Chan'er's attitude, he frowned, and snorted coldly: "It's about your sister, if you don't like to hear it, I'll leave." ”Meng Chan'er's hand holding the wine glass stiffened instantly, and after a while, she continued to ask, "What's wrong with my sister?"
”Su Yunsheng rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Last night, when did your sister arrive at this nephrite building?"
”"She didn't come at night, she came before the end of last afternoon."
Meng Chan'er's drunken hazy eyes had a touch of inquiry: "What happened to Meng Qing?"
”"Yesterday, the prince asked Meng Qing to stay in Qingyan Pavilion and wait for someone to pass on a word, but she didn't bring the words, she left privately, and the person who almost harmed her died......"
Meng Chan'er's eyes suddenly turned cold when she heard this, and the copper wine glass in her hand slammed on the wooden table with her anger.Su Yunsheng raised his eyebrows, and said: "Now that the prince should already know about this, if you want to keep your sister safe, what should you do and do it yourself." ”Meng Chan'er's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and after a while, she whispered in a dumb voice: "You go out......"
Meng Chan'er stretched out her hand and pointed to the door.Su Yunsheng pursed his lips, turned around and walked out.The bead curtain was crisp and dingdong, covering Su Yunsheng's inaudible sigh.In the evening, at the corner of the stone road outside Qingyan Pavilion, two small servants were gathering a female corpse, and Chu Heng and Chu Sanye were standing aside.Chu Heng's face turned slightly pale, his lips were bloodless, and a pair of fawn-like eyes stared at the female corpse on the ground.The deceased was a rough maid from the great kitchen, only fifteen years old, and beside her body lay some unlit ingots and half-burned paper money."
She should have come here in the middle of the night last night to pay tribute to the paper money burned, and when she was halfway through the burning, she ran into the murderer who explored the Qingyan Pavilion at night."
Chu Sanye's brows furrowed deeply, and he looked at Chu Heng with a worried expression: "Thanks to you for hiding, otherwise ......"
"Otherwise, I will end up like her." ”Chu Heng's eyes were misty, his eyes were red, but his tone was as cold as the moon: "This maid had a very good relationship with Yinzhu before her death, she should have come to pay tribute to Yinzhu, but if she wanted to pay tribute, she couldn't do it, but she took herself down." ”"Silver beads?"
Chu Sanye paused, and then said: "I remember the maid named Yinzhu, it seems that she has a good relationship with you. ”"Yes."
Chu Heng nodded: "Dad, do you remember when I was pushed into the lotus pond two years ago?"
”Third Master Chu nodded.Chu Heng lowered her head, her hands were hidden in her sleeves, and her nails were curled up into the flesh: "At that time, winter had just passed, the spring was cold, the pond water had just melted, and there were still a lot of ice ballast on the water surface.After I fell into the lotus pond, my whole body was frozen, and there were many people standing by the lotus pond at that time, but no one was willing to save me.I struggled for a long time in the icy water, until the little maid named Yinzhu pushed aside the crowd and swam to me. ”Chu Sanye's face was gloomy: "That silver bead is a good one, and then in Qingming, my father gave her a pillar of incense." ”"Hmm."
Chu Heng nodded, suppressed the gloomy haggard on his face, and raised his head to show a faint smile at Chu Sanye: "The deceased is gone, dad don't worry about me." ”"Alas......"
Third Master Chu sighed and touched Chu Heng's head: "Heng'er wants to open some." ”"Heng'er doesn't have anything to think about."
Chu Heng bit his lip and lowered his head: "Yinzhu is the maid of the palace, life and death are not her own, her life was sold to the vine palace four years ago." ”"Heng'er."
Third Master Chu lowered his voice: "Do you have a grudge against the palace in your heart?"
”Chu Heng was stunned for a moment, and she looked up at Third Master Chu.Chu Sanye had a touch of guilt in his eyes, but he was more dignified: "Heng'er, you have to keep your duty as a man, my father knows that you are sad and sad, and I also know that you have been frightened a lot these days, but you must not be angry with the palace because of these things, you have to know that without the palace, you and your father can't even eat." ”Chu Heng sighed lightly and said, "Dad, I understand.For the palace, Heng'er has always been grateful. ”"In the future, Dad will be more careful, and he won't let you suffer these grievances again."
Chu Sanye also sighed, he stared at Chu Heng for a while, and always felt that Chu Heng was a little insincere, so he couldn't help but persuade two more words.Chu Heng naturally echoed carefully, and the two talked for a long time before Chu Sanye was relieved.
