Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 52 Nasty
Ming concubine laughed, and Wei Mingrou walked over there with a graceful figure, and the servant girl brought tea and followed her closely.

The fourth prince took a sip and praised, "Your tea, Rou'er, is the best."

The gentle sound of pinching the water, could hear contempt from the bottom of Ming Concubine's heart, Wei Mingrou looked shy, and brought another cup of tea to Ming Concubine, after Ming Concubine drank a couple of sips, she didn't taste the tea made with the maid. The difference, generally speaking, she is just a layman, not that high taste, Ming concubine thought to herself mockingly, and praised without hesitation, "It is worthy of being praised by the fourth prince, this tea is fragrant, take a sip, and linger between your teeth, It's been a long time."

With Wei Mingrou around, the topic is much easier. Of course, this ease is only for Wei Mingrou and the fourth prince. Wei Mingrou asked what happened to Mingyu after she disappeared.

Those days at the bottom of the cliff were the pain in Ming Concubine's heart, and since Chu Mochen was involved, she was even more unwilling to mention it, so she just said lightly, "The scabbed wounds will not be peeled off layer by layer for Third Sister to appreciate Yes, in the future, when I have leisure time, maybe I can take you to see it with my own eyes, or even stay for a few days, it is right to revisit the old place.”

Wei Mingrou's face froze, Ming concubine put down the teacup, smiled and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

After leaving the gazebo, Ming concubine led Xi'er away, no one noticed the green shadow at the rockery quietly leaving from the side.

After walking a little further, Xi'er looked around to make sure no one was there, she couldn't help but said, "Girl, you don't really intend to help the Fourth Prince bring down King Zhennan, do you?"

Ming concubine pursed her lips and said, "Your girl, am I that stupid?"

"But you didn't reject the fourth prince just now."

Ming concubine's black line, so obvious rejection can't be heard, this maid...

"Often compete with like-minded people, and disagree with fools to discuss merits."

Xi'er is a little confused, is the girl saying that the fourth prince is a fool?It would be silly to say something like that.

After returning to Hanyu Garden, Ming Concubine had only taken two sips of a cup of tea when she heard the ringing bell, and the familiar footsteps made Ming Concubine raise her eyebrows.

When she and Xi'er came out of the gazebo, didn't Wei Mingyi and the others just enter the gazebo, even if they sat for a while, they wouldn't have come so quickly.

Ming concubine didn't get up, Wei Mingyi pulled up the bead curtain and came in, then she put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Why are you all here, why didn't you sit with the third sister and the fourth prince for a while?"

Wei Mingqi shrugged and said, "Someone came from the palace just now, saying that Concubine Sun Guifei had been poisoned, and she had a rash all over her face, all over her arms. The fourth prince and third sister rushed back to the palace."

In fact, they had arrived long ago, and they planned to enter the gazebo, but Wei Mingrou came out and told them not to disturb them, so they were just enjoying the flowers, finally, the concubine Ming left, you can go and sit down, the servant girl is in a hurry again He told Concubine Sun Gui that something happened, and the fourth prince never came and went, and they never said a word to him!

Wei Mingyi sat down, Xueyan served tea, she looked at Ming concubine, leaned closer, and asked, "Big sister, what did the fourth prince tell you?"

Ming concubine raised her right eyelid and said, "What else can I say, don't you want me not to marry the son of Prince Zhennan?"

Wei Mingyi straightened his body a little, and said, "I guessed that it was about this matter, the king of Zhennan gave such a generous condition, what did the fourth prince promise you?"

Ming concubine laughed and said, "If Concubine Sun Guifei could offer more generous terms, even if they were comparable, the second aunt would not have returned home so angry yesterday. The fourth prince wanted to impress me with affection, but unfortunately, I lost my memory Now, if he hadn't come to the mansion and met on the street, I wouldn't have recognized him..."

Before she finished speaking, Ming concubine sneezed and rubbed her nose. Wei Mingyi, who was sitting opposite her, jumped up, her face flushed, and she gritted her teeth, "Big sister!"

Ming concubine looked innocent, "I didn't do it on purpose."

Wasn't it intentional, could you just spray her in the face? Wei Mingyi was so angry that he wanted to jump over and bite Ming concubine, Xueyan hurriedly said, "Bring me some water!"

West courtyard, inner room.

As soon as the second wife returned to the room and sat down, the maid in a blue dress quickly walked into the room and whispered something in her ear.

The second wife's eyes were cold at first, and after the servant girl said a few words, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she said two words, "Naive."

Outside, another servant girl came in and said, "Second wife, fourth wife is here."

The smile on the second wife's face disappeared a bit, and she said with some displeasure and impatience, "Please come in."

Inside the house, the servant girl brought hot water. After Wei Mingyi washed her face, she applied rouge in front of the bronze mirror. Seeing a gold bracelet on the dressing table casually placed on it, she thought of her white jade bracelet, and her eyes welled up. Fire comes.

Xueyan stood aside, startled when she saw it, and planned to persuade Ming concubine later that it was not worth offending Fifth Miss and Fourth Wife for a jade bracelet.

Over there, Xie Wanhua saw two medical books on the table, she casually picked them up, flipped through a few pages, and said, "Big sister still reads medical books?"

Ming concubine smiled lightly, and said, "Look at it casually, the Su family has a lot of books, and there are also many medical classics and pharmacopoeias. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion offered me such a generous offer. It should be because I am sure that I can make the Prince of Zhennan a success. It’s just that I don’t believe that I have that ability, and the Zhennan Palace is full of sincerity, so I can’t take it seriously, and if I look through the medical books, I might be lucky enough to meet a blind cat and a dead mouse..."

Xie Wanhua wanted to laugh when she heard that, it wasn't her who hit her, she had never even seen the face of Prince Zhennan, and she didn't even know what kind of poison was in his house, how could a blind cat meet a dead mouse?

And such a basic medical book, any doctor will be familiar with it by heart, and it is fluent, so there is really no need to read it.

After flipping through a few pages, Xie Wanhua put down the medical book and started talking about other things.

In fact, they had nothing to talk about with Concubine Ming, so they left after staying for a while.

After they left, Xueyan wanted to talk to Concubine Ming about the white jade bracelet, but before she could speak, Qingxing, the second-class maid, preempted her.

Qing Xing opened the beaded curtain and came in, and said, "Girl, just now the little servant girl saw the fourth wife go to the west courtyard in a rage, but she had a smile on her face when she left..."

In the past, Ming concubine was dull and seldom talked, and she didn't understand the worldly things like rewarding servants. The maids in Hanyuyuan seldom approached her, but now it's different, she regained her clarity, and everyone Not only does she stay calm, but she is even smarter than a lady. Xi'er deserves to take care of her. After returning home, Su Shi rewarded Xi'er with 100 taels of silver, and Ming concubine rewarded her with a gold hairpin, a pair of pearl earrings, and a pair of silver taels. Bracelets and a few new sets of clothes made Xi'er walk like she was floating.

These servant girls all saw it, envious and jealous, their minds were naturally exhausted, and they acted when they saw the opportunity.

In the inner court, spreading news is the easiest way to make meritorious deeds. Ming concubine and the others returned home from Foguang Temple, and the matter in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion has been spread throughout the mansion. Although this matter is left to the second and fourth wives for investigation, But the second wife didn't care, it was the fourth wife who was investigating. The maids involved in the case had been sent to Beiyuan for questioning many times, and the fourth wife went to find the second wife angrily. Case, originally the second wife was to assist.

Qing Xing felt that the fourth wife's anger must be tricky, maybe it was framed by the second wife's maid.
