Chapter 38

When the four of them came over, Yun Ruochen was drinking tea with his head bowed.

Hmm, the tea in Concubine Huang's room seems to be much better than before. I don't know if she specially brought the tribute tea Xuelong Yuntuan rewarded in the palace to greet her?In my impression, this tea is what my father loves to drink but is not willing to drink, because there is only so much tea in the mansion every year.

From this small detail, Yun Ruochen could see that Concubine Huang was indeed favored even more.

After drinking half a cup of tea, she shifted her gaze to the four court ladies.

All four of them were over 20 years old, wearing low buns and standing a step away from her with lowered eyebrows.

They all use the same hair oil...

Yun Ruochen raised his eyebrows, it seemed that it was still difficult to identify the traitor from the four of them.

She didn't believe that the four of them were spies sent by Prince Shu's mansion. If King Shu was so powerful, there would be no need to secretly plot tricks to murder Prince Jing.

The four court ladies are named Ruifang, Molan, Baiju, and Fuxiu, and they are not eye-catching from their names to their looks.If you really want to compare, Mo Lan seems to be more beautiful, but that is just ordinary beauty.

In fact, it was not the first time Yun Ruochen saw these people, she also saw them serving here when she came to Concubine Huang's courtyard.But in the past, how could she pay special attention to the people in Concubine Huang's room.

"The princess is a little uncomfortable. I heard that you all know how to massage, so go and serve the princess for a few days."

Concubine Huang spoke lightly, and the expressions of the four of them changed slightly after hearing the order, but no one raised any objections.

While Concubine Huang was speaking, Yun Ruochen had been secretly observing the faces of the four court ladies.

To say that these people are worthy of being the elites selected by the palace, they all have good faces with thin bones and red lips, and most of the girls with such faces are also gentle and gentle.However, people's faces are undergoing subtle changes all the time with the changes of their minds and circumstances.It is not so easy to completely judge a person's character from the first impression.

Naturally, it was not too difficult for Yun Ruochen to discern some clues from their expressions.

"Then I will trouble my sisters."

Yun Ruochen showed her usual signature smile.These people were bestowed by the palace, and they belonged to the concubine's house, so she should respect them more out of reason.

Several people bowed their knees and saluted again and said they didn't dare, and then followed Yun Ruochen back to the house.
-
"Princess, are you feeling better?"

When it was almost time for dinner, Yin Qiao saw Yun Ruochen got up from the bed and yawned long.

"Well, I fell asleep in a daze...but the headache seems to have gone away a lot..."

Yun Ruochen lightly rubbed the center of his brows again, took a few sips of the hot tea from Yinqiao's hand.

During the day today, she asked those court ladies to take turns giving her a massage.Those people really learned it before, and the massage made her feel relaxed and drowsy, and she fell asleep just after lunch.

Because they knew that she was not in good spirits today, the maids did not dare to wake her up, and only then helped her get up.

Lian Zhi hurriedly passed the meal, while Yin Qiao quickly changed her clothes and re-twisted her hair.When asked what jewelry she wanted to wear, Yun Ruochen said with a smile: "It's almost dark, what jewelry to wear, just tie a braid."

But Yinqiao said: "My good Princess, you don't mind, but Madam Zeng will come to accompany you for dinner later. Seeing that you are dressed too casually, the servants will be punished."

Yun Ruochen heard her nervousness, and laughed again: "You are so afraid of Madam Zeng!"

"Good princess, don't make fun of your slaves."

Yin Qiao simply picked a hairpin for Yun Ruochen and put it in a braid.Yun Ruochen looked at the corners of her lips in the mirror, knowing that she was slandering Nanny Zeng, the devil's coach, so he could only smile and let her go.

A manager who can manage his subordinates well even when he is away is truly capable.If she has the ability of Nanny Zeng in the future, she won't have to worry about managing the housework.

Yun Ruochen didn't have any detailed plans for his future, he just wanted to put Dad Baozi on the throne, be a rice insect princess comfortably, and then just recruit a concubine as a facade...

She never expected to find the legendary love in this distant time and space.

What's more, love is like the plague, and happiness is happiness if you don't meet each other in your life.If you give your heart easily, the result will only be...

She thought of the old lover in her memory who had been destroyed by her own hands, and felt empty in her heart, unable to tell whether it was sadness or joy.

She doesn't want to fall in love with anyone again.

"Isn't it too much to insert this gold-encrusted and precious silk hairpin at night..."

Yun Ruochen looked sideways at the shining hairpin above his head, complained seemingly casually, and opened another jewelry box by himself to pick it up.

"Didn't someone give me some jade hairpins last time... Huh?"

Yun Ruochen was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the jewelry box and said to Yinqiao, "Where are my jade hairpins?"

what?
Yinqiao's ears buzzed, she looked into the box quickly, and the sweat dripped from her forehead.
-
"How is this going?"

As soon as she lit the lamp, Nanny Zeng entered Yun Ruochen's yard at the same time as the cook who delivered the meals.Before she reached the door, she heard a few maids chattering in the room, and her two beautiful eyebrows immediately knit into knots.

These servants are too unruly!If they were in the palace, they wouldn't know how many were beaten to death, and the rules in Prince Jing's mansion were loose, and the princess was young, which allowed them to be so careless.Didn't you rectify it well a few days ago, why is it breaking out again today?
She saw the rough envoy's maids gathered outside the corridor of Yun Ruochen's main house, whispering to each other and wondering what they were doing.

"Mommy!"

As Nanny Zeng's figure appeared in front of everyone, the yard was suddenly so quiet that dripping water could be heard.

"...Who will tell me what happened?"

Very well, these desperate girls are not working... What happened to the princess's house?
"Uh……"

"No... nothing..."

The faces of the little maids were very ugly. Madam Zeng raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but she heard the anxious voice of the little princess from inside the room.

"Hey, look over there quickly! Where did you go, my hairpin..."

Missing something in the princess house?

Madam Zeng's expression was as gloomy as the dark night sky outside the house.The little maids felt the coldness emanating from her, and couldn't help shrinking their necks, thinking anxiously: "Everyone is going to be in trouble this time!"

Facts have proved that after suffering a lot, they already have a good understanding of Nanny Zeng's behavior style.Sure enough, Nanny Zeng entered the room and talked to the princess for a quarter of an hour, and when she came out, she said: "Close the gate and search!"

After a short period of panic, the whole yard fell into a strange tranquility.

No one dared to speak.

Everyone was panicked, the princess had lost three jade hairpins, who was so bold enough to steal from the princess's house?

Not everyone can enter Yun Ruochen's room.Usually, only Nanny Zeng, Lian Zhi, Yin Qiao, Wan Xiang, and Sweeping Snow can enter the house, and the rest of the little maids can only work outside.

But Madam Zeng treated everyone equally and decided to search all the belongings of the servants in the courtyard.Yun Ruochen sat at the table in the outer room, eating her somewhat cold dinner with her head down.

Of course they couldn't find the three jade hairpins, because they had already been buried outside Shu Wang's mansion and used as magic weapons for formation.

Of course she wouldn't seek trouble out of nothing to make fun of harming the servants.

"The county lord."

After more than an hour, Madam Zeng came to report to her with a sullen face that no jade hairpin was found in the servants' room.

However, Yinqiao and Lianzhi still stood trembling in the corner with pale faces, this matter is really big or small.Even if they didn't steal the princess's things, it's a crime if they don't take good care of them. At least they will be punished by Madam Zeng...

"Nurse, you've worked hard." Yun Ruochen asked Grandma Zeng to sit down, and turned her head to signal the maidservants to step back first.

"Does the princess have something to say to the old slave?"

Grandma Zeng saw Yun Ruochen's hesitation and hesitation, and thought that she was kind-hearted and wanted to plead for the servants, so she said with a straight face: "Although you are kind and lenient, you must have a degree. The girl's room Throwing things, this matter has to be investigated no matter what, otherwise... it will be a big trouble in the future!"

She spoke cryptically, but Yun Ruochen understood.If the things of the daughter's house are left outside and fall into the hands of those with malicious intentions, there will be many disputes for no reason.This is because she is young, it doesn't matter, no matter how old she is, I'm afraid that Zeng Nanny will even resort to family law torture.

"No, nanny, Chen'er is thinking... Apart from the people in this yard, there are people who have entered this house today..."

"Oh?"

Only then did Madam Zeng realize that, yes, there were four court ladies who also stayed in the princess's house for a long time!
Although Madam Zeng didn't quite believe that the people who came out of the palace would have such shallow eyelids and covet some jade hairpins, but since they had entered the house, they couldn't get rid of the suspicion.

"Then... this old slave will report to Lady Huang."

Nanny Zeng explained a few words to Yun Ruochen, then went outside the house to frighten the maids with kindness and force, and then hurried to Huang's side concubine's courtyard.

Seeing Nanny Zeng leaving quickly, Yun Ruochen sighed softly.

She doesn't want to implicate the innocent, but kindness is the most useless thing if she wants to survive in this cannibalistic environment.

night is still long...

 First update.Then write.Don't wait, you can come back tomorrow morning.
