The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 386 fruitless
When Song Wan'er entered, Nian Jingyi was staring at the book of poems in her hand in a daze, with tears still in her eyes, as if she had just cried.

"What's wrong with Chu Fujin so nicely? Don't cry yourself out, it's not good for the baby in your womb." Song Wan'er walked over to persuade her softly. Every time she came to Jinglianju, she deliberately looked for him. Yinzhen doesn't know the time to come.

She was afraid of seeing Yinzhen and had been neglected for many years. She no longer knew how to face him.Maybe he already knew about her and the prince?After all, what everyone in Wanfu Pavilion knows, can they hide it from him?

But she was unwilling to remain silent like this, and looked down at her hands, which were once smooth and tender like suet jade, but now they are dark yellow and rough.Ever since Nian Jingyi's first child was miscarried, Fujin began to make people treat Mrs. Song kindly.But Song Wan'er took care of her for half a year, but her hands never returned to their original tenderness.

She raised her hand to touch her face. She hadn't looked in the mirror for several days, and she didn't dare to look in the mirror, for fear that the person inside would look haggard and ugly.There was a rough feeling on the face of the hand, she didn't know whether it was rough on the hands or on the face, no matter what it was, it made her feel uncomfortable.

No matter how unwilling she was, she couldn't bear the sorrow of old age and fading.But she still has to find a way to gain a firm foothold. In the days to come, she doesn't want to linger like she did a few years ago.She thought, even if Yinzhen didn't want to see her again, these few years should have blunted his anger.

After hearing her words, Nian Jingyi secretly turned her head to wipe away the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and when she looked back, she was already smiling: "That's why Wan'er cares about me so much."

There was unquestionable gratitude and emotion in her eyes, which made Song laugh coldly in his heart.But Song's face is gentle, and the frowns and frowns in her eyes are full of amorous feelings.After so many years, her face may be a little older, but the amorous feelings in her bones have not diminished, but because of the carving of the years, she has more mature charms.

Zhenyue's complexion slowed down for a while before recovering. Xi'er glanced at her several times, and when she found a chance, she secretly asked her what was wrong.Zhenyue probed inside, and seeing that Mrs. Song was not paying attention, she whispered: "Miss Liangchen came to talk to me, and when I was talking, I saw someone hiding behind the curtain... Does she suspect that I want to persecute my little elder brother?" ah?"

Song Wan'er has already scolded her for this matter, if the nurse thinks it's her, she will really have no way out.

Xi'er nodded knowingly: "I also asked our people from Jinglianju to go there. They may not have gone to ask, but they suspected that they fell in love with you. What are you afraid of?"

"But..." Zhenyue raised her head to look at Xi'er with a troubled expression, her expression was quite uneasy.

"They are all grasshoppers on the same rope. You are worried about what you are going to do." Xi'er lowered her face and cast a sideways glance. Yes, you just pretend you don’t know anything about it.”

Zhenyue nodded her head embarrassingly, and secretly sighed when she lowered her head: "What's the matter?"

When the three-day period came, Liang Chen, who originally liked to smile, couldn't help sighing.Things didn't go well, the only suspicious object was rejected, but the voice recognized by the nanny really made her embarrassed.

She'd better take the punishment by herself, she could be punished as she wanted, and she admitted it.Things that Wei Chang'an couldn't even find out, especially since she was a girl.

After Yinzhen came down from court, he was busy writing notebooks in the study, and Yanhua was also silently studying ink beside him, neither of them seemed to remember about the wet nurse.When Liang Chen passed by, she saw that the two of them were concentrating on the task at hand, she murmured for a long while, and then shut up embarrassingly.

After seeing her expression, Yanhua's heart sank, but she finally held back the uneasiness in her heart and did not ask out.

The weird atmosphere lasted until Yinzhen finished writing the notebook in hand. After he closed the notebook, he raised his head to see Liang Chen, and looked at her leisurely: "Is there anything you want to report?"

Liang Chen glanced at Yan Hua guiltily, and said hesitantly: "My servant, please be punished by the master, this servant...can't find out who is instigating the nanny behind the scenes..."

Yanhua sighed in disappointment, but still pleaded for Liangchen: "Master, Liangchen doesn't know how to investigate the case, so I can't blame her for this matter."

Yinzhen glanced at her, and said calmly: "Since Chanchan has asked for mercy, then on a good day, you..." His eyes rolled, thinking that the peach grove in Wanfu Pavilion needed to be hoeed. Hoe, then continued, "You go to Wanfu Pavilion and weed for a few days until you finish hoeing."

Liang Chen raised his hand to wipe off the cold sweat, and gratefully thanked the two masters.

It's just that she still has something to arrange, so the punishment will start tomorrow.

"Master, let Wei Changan continue to investigate the nanny. If the person behind the back is not found out, I will feel uneasy."

"Well, I also have that intention." Yinzhen nodded, and moved his shoulders uncomfortably.

Ah Li, who was serving tea next to him, saw this, and stepped forward to give him a couple of pinches very familiarly.Yinzhen didn't look back to see who it was, but only acquiesced in her behavior.

It was the first time that Yanhua at the side saw the two of them like this, a strange emotion floated in her heart.After looking at Ah Li for a few times, she endured the unhappiness in her heart and retracted her gaze.On the other hand, Lingxi, who was next to her, secretly stared at Ah Li several times.

Ah Li was concentrating on beating Yinzhen's shoulders and back, but she didn't realize that there was anything wrong with this move.

Yanhua felt uncomfortable and didn't want to watch it any longer, so she got ready to leave: "At this time, there is a lot of trouble, if the master has no other orders, the servants will go back first."

Yinzhen opened his eyes in surprise, and after glancing at the plain hand on his shoulder, a trace of displeasure flashed between his brows: "Go down."

Ah Li was stunned for a moment, timidly bit her lower lip lightly, and hurriedly stepped aside cautiously.

Yinzhen stood up, stepped forward and grabbed Yanhua: "I think it's you, and I want to praise you a few words."

He didn't need to explain, but he knew that the little man in front of him would be thinking wildly, so he explained it smoothly.After the explanation, he was a little surprised by his behavior. After frowning strangely, he immediately relaxed.

Since she entered the mansion, he has really changed a lot in subtle ways.

Yan Hua smiled normally, and after looking at the hand on her arm, she joked, "Master, are you reluctant to let me go?"

Unexpectedly, he responded very smoothly: "En."

His expression was still so calm, and the voice was so low that she was almost the only one who heard it, so a faint blush appeared on her face immediately after she was stunned for a moment.She likes his acting like a baby very much. Although he seldom acts like a baby, will she say that when he rarely acts like a baby, will he look extremely charming?

Just like now, although his expression is still clear and indifferent, the intimacy in his tone just now made her heart skip a beat.

She moved closer in a strange way, and then lightly pecked his lips when he was surprised.After the kiss, she took a look at A Li inexplicably, and after catching the panic in A Li's eyes, she only felt in a good mood.

When she thought of her behavior at that time afterwards, she only felt that it was quite childish.It's just that I was in it at the time, and I only acted according to the thoughts in my heart. Thinking about it afterwards, it's really a bit embarrassing.

After Yanhua left, Lingxi sent all the servant girls away: "Master, servant girl... I have something to report."

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then pondered: "Did you find someone suspicious about the nanny?"

Liang Chen has served him by his side for so many years, he has already figured out Liang Chen's temperament clearly.When Cai Liangchen looked at Yan Hua, his expression was a bit complicated, probably because she had something to hide from Yan Hua.Now that she is so mysterious, it confirms Yinzhen's conjecture.

Liang Chen hesitated for a moment, then murmured: "After hearing the voices of the two maids, the nanny felt like someone who gave her something... One is Zhenyue from Jinxiuxuan, and the other... is from the courtyard of Side Fujin. Yaqing..."

Yinzhen was silent for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Yaqing? Which one is in Fujin's courtyard?"

"It's a maid from Lv'e Garden, who just entered the mansion last year." Liang Chen sighed, it would be really inappropriate to tell this matter in front of Yan Hua.She was worried that Yanhua would embarrass the people in the two courtyards if she found out, and she didn't want the truth that she said unintentionally to turn into provocative words.

Yinzhen's face gradually turned cold, and after a long silence, he glanced at her indifferently: "What did Wei Changan say?"

"He said... Yaqing in Lv'eyuan seems to be more suspicious." She hesitated for a while, but still reported the truth.No matter who has a problem, it must be under the orders of their master, and Lueyuan seems to be more motivated.It's just that these are all their guesses. Liangchen is not sure whether there is really something wrong with the two people identified by the nanny.

Yinzhen didn't speak, but narrowed his eyes and looked at the void ahead, tapping a finger on the table unconsciously.Liangchen knew that he was getting impatient, but she didn't know if it was because of this matter...

Right now, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, Yanhua passed the garden on the way back, and saw the flowers in the garden competing to raise their heads, it was very lively.She couldn't help slowing down and watching carefully for a while, Lingxi wanted to pick some back, but was stopped by Yanhua.

"Just take a look, it would be a pity to take it off."

"Gege, I feel that the people from Jinglianju did it." Although Liangchen said that he couldn't find out, Lingxi still firmly insisted on Jinglianju.She felt that there was something wrong with the little maid who ran away when she saw the nanny—although she was rejected by the nanny.

"What did she do to my Shuoshuo? Could it be that she doesn't like me?" Yanhua didn't deny her guess, and only refuted it leisurely.

Lingxi opened his mouth, unable to say why.

The master and servant were silent all the way, and after returning to Wanfu Pavilion, they realized that there were a few more people inside.
