Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

"On weekdays, Aijia always feels that you are cautious in handling things, but why are you so careless today? What kind of spices, you just got them on that girl, why bother yourself and Aijia? It's not that you are so quick to react, if you throw away the needle in time, you will definitely be found out, and you won't be able to steal a piece of rice by then." Concubine Ming frowned, her eyes slightly displeased.

Nanny Yu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "What the master said is that the servant girl was too careless, but the servant girl just didn't expect that Princess Yunshang would ask someone to check on the master on the grounds that she was worried about the master's health."

"Oh, that girl is quite interesting, she pretends to be cowardly, but occasionally she seems to be very clever, but her cleverness is too deliberate, making people feel that her cleverness is just pretending." Mingtai The concubine waved her hand and said, "Forget it, it's already like this. These years, Aijia is the most idle place. I'm afraid I haven't done such a thing for many years. It seems that you have given birth. Be more careful next time. women, one or two, no one is simple, don't underestimate the enemy anymore."

Nanny Yu quickly responded, "Slave and maidservant remember, master, it's late at night, why don't you settle down earlier."

Concubine Ming nodded, "It's getting colder and colder, the charcoal fire in the room will be more prosperous later."

"Hey." Nanny Yu replied, stood up, waited for Concubine Ming to take off her clothes, took out a few Mrs. Tang who had been warming the quilt in the bed, and let Concubine Ming lie on it before covering the quilt . Then he turned around and put all the clothes away, then went to the brazier to stir up the fire, turned off the light, went to the small compartment outside and lay down.

Sleeping in a daze, Concubine Ming dreamed that a cat was meowing terribly, and rushed towards her. Concubine Ming opened her eyes suddenly, and when she woke up, she realized that it was just a dream. She wiped the cat on her forehead He was sweating coldly, and was about to close his eyes, when he heard a few cat meows faintly outside the window, each one getting shriller than the other.

Where did the cat come from? Concubine Ming frowned, perhaps because of the dream just now, she felt panicked in her heart, so she called out, "Nurse Yu..."

There was a slight sound from the compartment, followed by Madam Yu's voice, "The servant is here."

After a while, a light came on, and it was Nanny Yu who came in holding a glazed lamp, "Master, what's the matter? Are you thirsty?"

Concubine Ming shook her head, and listened for a while, but she didn't hear anything, so she asked, "Nurse Yu, did you hear anything just now? For example, a cat meowing?"

After hearing the words, Madam Yu shook her head, "No, what did the master hear?"

Concubine Ming frowned, "The Ai family just heard the cat meow."

"The cat is meowing?" Yuma Yu was a little puzzled, "No, how could there be a cat meowing at this time? It's night in the palace, and all pets can't be released from their own palace?"

Concubine Ming also felt a little puzzled, thinking that she had heard it wrong, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, maybe I got it wrong."

Nanny Yu nodded, and was about to step back, but saw that the window on the side seemed to be opened. Nanny Yu frowned, "Hey, why is the window open? The servants clearly remembered that it was closed just now, and even the fire in the brazier was a little smaller."

Concubine Ming felt a little cold when she heard Yuma Yu's words, "It's snowing today, maybe it's not closed tightly, the wind blows it away."

Nanny Yu said "hmm", then put the glazed lamp on the table beside her, and walked towards the window, but she felt that her foot suddenly stepped on something, it was soft, but it seemed that there was something hard , a little awkward, lowered his head to have a look, and saw a fluffy thing being stepped on by himself, looked carefully, but couldn't help screaming, "Ah..."

Concubine Ming was taken aback, she stood up and looked at Nanny Yu, "What's wrong?"

Nanny Yu closed her eyes, pointed to her feet and said, "Master, it's a cat, it's a dead cat..."

Concubine Ming felt that the hairs all over her body were standing on end, and she shouted in a trembling voice, "Come on! Come on! Come on!"

On a quiet winter night, knocks on the door rang out everywhere in the palace, "The concubine concubine called me urgently, please change your clothes immediately and go to Changchun Palace..."

"Princess, princess, get up. The concubine sent someone to invite her. I don't know what happened. It seems that the masters of all palaces and halls have been alarmed." Qin Yi quickly got up and called Yun Shang up , put on the clothes, and hurriedly brought a Tang lady and handed it to Yunshang, "Princess, it's very cold at night, can I wear one more for you?"

Yun Chang shook her head and said, "No, I'm fine, but you guys, put on an extra coat before leaving, don't worry."

Qin Yi nodded. This time, she took a piece of clothes from the compartment where she lived last night, and hurried out to see if it was snowing. Then she returned to the inner hall and said, "Princess, let's go, the snow has stopped. gone."

Yun Shang nodded, and took Qin Yi and Qian Yin to the Changchun Palace, and when they got there, they saw Qin Meng and Ying Jieyu walking over together, the two quickly greeted Yun Shang, Yun Shang nodded , without speaking, walked in front of the two of them.

When I arrived at the Changchun Palace, I saw that many concubines were already sitting in the palace, but all of them were unpainted, a little listless, and yawned from time to time. Concubine Ming sat on the main seat, with undisguised anger on her face.

Yun Chang saluted, then retreated to the side and sat down. After a while, a court lady served tea. Yun Chang picked up the tea and took a sip, and heard the concubine next to her guessing that Ming Taifei was so late. What is the reason for calling everyone anxiously.

The hall was bustling with activity, when the servant's announcement came from outside, "The emperor is here, and the imperial concubine is here."

Concubine Ming frowned when she heard the words, then turned to Nanny Yu and said, "Didn't I just say, don't disturb the Emperor?"

Before Nanny Yu could answer, she heard Emperor Ning's voice, "I happened to be resting at Concubine Jin's place. In the middle of the night, I heard Concubine Mother's servant knocking on the door. I was in a hurry. I don't know if Concubine Mother is there. Why do you have to wake everyone up in the middle of the night?"

All the concubines probably didn't expect the emperor to come back, they all thought that they didn't even put on makeup in a hurry, they felt a little annoyed, and they all felt a little bit of resentment towards Concubine Ming.

Concubine Ming was even more unhappy when the emperor said this, she twitched her mouth slightly, and snorted, "Of course there is something wrong, there was such a scene of cat attacking people at the palace banquet earlier, today In a few nights, an uninvited guest came to visit, come and get out."

Two servants came out of the inner hall in a hurry, holding a shovel in their hands, and inside the shovel was a cat covered in blood.

The concubines in the hall were all women, and there were screams all over the hall, Emperor Ning's face was livid, he quickly embraced Concubine Jin, pressed her head to his chest, and prevented her from turning her head to look.

"Grandmother Yu, come and tell everyone what's going on..." Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Concubine Ming smiled coldly.

Nanny Yu hurriedly came out and bowed to everyone, "Today, the concubine is a bit tired, so she settled down early. The servants are waiting in the cubicle. In the middle of the night, the servants suddenly heard the concubine Calling the voice of the servant, the servant hurried in, the empress dowager said that she seemed to have heard a cat, and asked the servant if she heard it. The servant was asleep and did not hear it, so the empress dowager thought it was her mistake After listening, the servant girl was about to go back to the cubicle, but suddenly found that the window in the palace of the concubine was opened. The servant girl wondered if it was blown open by the wind, so she walked over to close the window, and stepped on this thing without knowing it. The slaves and the concubine are terrified."

Concubine Ming snorted, "That kind of thing happened during the palace banquet, and this thing appeared at night. The Ai family looked at it, and the harem became more and more smoky. If you don't check it out properly today , I don’t know what kind of troubles will happen in the future. Emperor, Aijia thought that you were tired of dealing with government affairs during the day, so I didn’t intend to wake you up. The matter in the harem was originally about women However, since you are here, you should be a good witness today."

Emperor Ning nodded and said, "It's time for this harem to be cleaned up. Don't worry, mother and concubine, I will always be on the right side."

Concubine Ming didn't say much when she heard the words, and said directly, "Come here, let the Ai family check it out, whose cat is this? There is also the eunuch and maid who went tonight, let the Ai family find them all. "

The maids at the side quickly responded, and hurriedly retreated.

"Fortunately, the person who did this today didn't want Aijia's old life, otherwise, I'm afraid Aijia wouldn't be able to sit here and talk." Concubine Ming was obviously very angry, her brows were furrowed all the time Tight.

"There are so many court ladies and eunuchs, but no one has seen them? It really shouldn't be..." Lan Guifei yawned and said calmly.

Concubine Ming's eyes glanced at Concubine Lan, and a flash of disgust flashed in her heart. For such a person, the queen said that she could trust her.

"That's not what Sister Lan said. Are you accusing the concubine of being helpless?" Ying Jieyu raised her eyes, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across her mouth, "I feel that it must be the thief too. It is too powerful, so it can escape many eyes."

"Why are you arguing?" Emperor Ning frowned, lowered his head and said softly to the woman in his arms, "Are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, first let the concubine find you a soft couch to rest on .”

Concubine Jin shook her head, said with a slight smile, "It's okay." But she turned around and looked at Yun Shang, "How is Chang'er? You seem to be tired?"

This is the first time that Concubine Jin has spoken to Yun Shang like this in full view. Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, but knowing that Concubine Jin had a deep meaning in doing this, she raised her eyes to look at Concubine Jin, and said with a smile, "No thing."

Qin Yi hurriedly said, "Princess is a little afraid of the cold. She was in Ningguo Temple before. When it was cold, she could only lie on the bed. If the cold wind blows, she will easily fall ill."

Yun Shang knew that Qin Yi had been with Concubine Jin's master and servant for so long, so she must have known Concubine Jin's intentions, so she let her finish, then turned her head to look at Qin Yi with a little reproach and said, "How can Qin Yi say such a thing?" Seriously, under the care of Abbot Wuna these years, my body has recovered a lot, it's fine, mother and concubine don't have to worry."

Concubine Jin didn't quite believe it, so she reached out and grabbed Yun Shang's hand and shook it, her brows furrowed, "Why are your hands so cold?"

After Concubine Jin finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Emperor Ning and said, "Your Majesty, let someone get a quilt for Shang'er."

Emperor Ning nodded, and said to Concubine Ming, "Mother Concubine, Chang'er has been weak since she was a child, I'm afraid she will get sick, so let Mama Yu bring a quilt for Shang'er."

Concubine Ming glanced at Yunshang, with a bit of coldness in her eyes, "Mother Yu, go and get a bed for the princess."

Nanny Yu walked into the inner hall, and after a while came out with a quilt, Qin Yi quickly took it, spread it out and helped Yunshang cover it. Yun Chang retracted her hand into the quilt, quietly reached into her sleeve, and touched something, which seemed to be wrapped in paper, with fine powder inside. Yun Chang turned her head, and saw Concubine Jin's gaze fell on the quilt on her body, Yun Chang was stunned, stretched out her hand, and poured the paper bag onto the quilt on her body.

Concubine Ming looked around the crowd for a week, and finally landed on Li Fuyi's face, "The wound that Fumei was scratched by a cat earlier, did it heal after applying the medicine?"

Li Fuyi seemed to be in a daze from the time he entered the door until now, when he suddenly heard Concubine Ming call him, his body shook violently, before he came back to his senses, "Go back to Concubine Tai, I'm better, I just took the medicine Afterwards, there was a little itching, but it's not a big deal." Then he lowered his head, revealing the scar on his neck, which really looked pitiful to me.

Yun Chang smiled coldly.

"Huh..." Ying Jieyu on the side suddenly made a sound that seemed to be somewhat doubtful, and everyone looked towards Ying Jieyu, but Ying Jieyu's eyes fell on the cat on the ground, "Just now I was startled by this bloody cat, but I didn't pay attention to it. Just then I glanced at it. Although the cat was stained with stains, I could vaguely see the color of the fur, which was yellow. If my concubine remembers correctly, a few days ago, shortly after the emperor sent ingots to the concubine, he also gave Fumei a yellow cat? There are not many cats and dogs in the palace. There are even fewer yellow-haired cats, look at Fumei, but are they from your palace?"

Li Fuyi was shaken all over, and buried his head low, "That bloody cat is too scary, I dare not look at it..."

Ying Jieyu smiled slightly, and said to the maid behind Li Fuyi, "Since Fumei dare not look at it, let the maid behind you see it, the maid must know the things in your palace."

Concubine Ming's eyes lightly fell on Ying Jieyu, and after a while, she turned her eyes to look at the maid behind Li Fuyi and said, "Let's just take a look."

The maid timidly raised her head, took a quick look at the dead cat in the shovel, and quickly moved her eyes away, "It seems, it seems... It's the master's cat..."

Li Fuyi frowned, stood up and said, "Since Zirui said it belonged to my concubine, then she shouldn't be wrong. It's just that the concubine empress knows that my concubine played with it before going to bed, so I just played with it." I never thought that it would be in the concubine's palace, and I don't know why it would come here. However, it is definitely impossible for the concubine to harm the concubine. If the concubine really had such thoughts, how could he use his own Where's the cat..."

Concubine Ming naturally knew in her heart that her niece had all kinds of thoughts, and it was absolutely impossible to do anything to her at this time, so she waved her hand and said, "The Ai family knows it's not you, but the people in your palace have to Check it carefully, you are asleep, the door must be locked, obviously locked the door, why did this cat appear here for no reason?"

"Ah..." Yun Shang sneezed violently, and then said quickly after the sneeze, "Ms. Taifei, Shang'er didn't interrupt you on purpose, but I don't know what happened, Shang'er always smells There was a strong fragrance, so I couldn't help it...Shang'er is a little allergic to the powder...I don't know what's wrong, there was no such fragrance just now, why did it suddenly appear..."

The women in the harem were all human beings. When they heard Yun Shang's words, they became a little confused. Concubine Ming frowned and murmured, "Fragrant powder?"

Yun Chang nodded, just about to speak, but sneezed again, "Ah..."

"It's a bit fragrant. It seems that it appeared not long ago. It was clearly not there before." Yun Shang took a breath and frowned.

It wasn't there just now, but it suddenly appeared. Concubine Ming pondered for a moment, her eyes fell on Yunshang, and everyone was there all the time, but the only thing that suddenly appeared was... the quilt on Yunshang.

Yun Shang seemed to have suddenly remembered this, so she lowered her head and took a deep breath against the quilt, "Ah Choe..." "Ah Choe..."

Yunshang sneezed several times, and Concubine Jin stood up quickly, took the quilt off Yunshang, pulled Yunshang, and let Yunshang stand beside her.

"Is it better?" Concubine Jin looked at Yunshang with worry in her eyes.

Yun Chang nodded, "It's better."

Concubine Ming stared at Concubine Jin and Yun Shang for a while, then turned to Nanny Yu and said, "Is this quilt stained with incense powder?"

Nanny Yu also looked confused, "No, this is the quilt that you have been covering all the time, the concubine. The emperor was in a hurry just now, and many of the quilts in the box had not been dried, so the servants took the quilts on your soft couch. Brought it."

After talking, Madam Yu went to the chair where Yunshang was sitting, picked up the quilt, and smelled it, "No, I didn't smell any special fragrance."

Yun Chang stretched out her head to smell it, then sneezed again, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, you can smell it again, mammy."

Nanny Yu smelled it again, but her eyes were still confused, "The smell on this quilt is the same as the incense on the clothes of the toffee empress. It must be the scent that the maids smoked on the clothes by the way."

"Incense?" Yun Chang murmured to herself, then raised her head to look at Concubine Ming and said, "Empress Dowager, can Chang'er ask about the incense on your body?"

Although Concubine Ming felt that Yun Chang was a little rude, she agreed.

Yunshang walked up to Concubine Ming and sniffed it, "No, although the fragrance on this quilt is similar to the incense on the Empress Dowager, it shouldn't be the same. The quilt is clearly made of incense powder. Taste..." \u003c
