I am cultivating myself in the palace

After teasing Mu Zheng, Qingyan was in a good mood.

After she returned to her seat, people came to toast one after another. After hearing Mu Zheng's words, Qingyan raised her airs and put on a stern face.When those people saw this, they understood Princess Yan's attitude, and naturally they would not go out of their way to make fun of themselves.

Qingyan was happy to be quiet, and while no one was looking around, she secretly fed something to the little cat hiding in her arms.This kitten is really cute, even though Qingyan was kneeling and standing just now, it didn't blow its hair, just quietly nestled in Qingyan's arms, the little guy's body was warm.Occasionally, it would move or cry out, but the amplitude was very small, and the voice was even weaker.Submerged in the sound of silk and bamboo in the main hall, if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it at all, and the court dress of the life wife is quite loose, so it is impossible for anyone to dare to stare at Princess Yan's chest carefully.After all, none of the people present would have imagined that Princess Yan would attend the palace banquet with a cat.Qingyan was originally worried about what to do if she was discovered, but now looking at this posture, she thinks it should be fine to persist until the end of the banquet.

Yu'er knelt at the side, helping Qingyan set up wine and vegetables, and no one came to bother her, the master and servant finally had time to talk about themselves.

"Wouldn't you think that Concubine Rong would really harm me..." the servant girl said angrily, "I am so grateful that I can help her tie knots so hard!"

Qingyan pulled a bunch of grapes and ate them: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, who will make my Yu'er feel good."

"Good-hearted? Do you deserve to be harmed?" The girl's eyes were red, and she felt lingering fear when she thought of what happened just now: "This servant has no grievances or enmity with her."

Seeing this, Qingyan quickly threw the grapes, and patted the servant girl's hand reassuringly: "It's all over, don't worry, there is a lady here, no one will hurt Yu'er."

But the servant girl couldn't let it go, after all, Concubine Rong praised her with a smile not long ago, and then pushed her to death as soon as she turned her head. Such vicious calculation of a person who met for the first time really subverts the maidservant's simple cognition It made her a little skeptical about life.

Qingyan could guess the servant girl's heart knot, because it was like this in her previous life. When Shu Shi first entered the mansion, she really confused many people. Both she and Yu'er felt that Shu Shi was a gentle and virtuous woman, so they sincerely talked to Shu Shi They made friends, but in the end they were calculated miserably. When they found out the truth, let alone Yu'er, Qingyan also suffered for a long time.Why do you think I treat people with sincerity, but people can't treat me with sincerity?Later, it was Feng Yi who comforted her, telling her that human nature is complicated, and not all kindness will be rewarded with kindness.But don't get lost there, because you never know how a small unintentional act of kindness can bring great hope to others.It was also because of Feng Yi's presence that she was able to get over Shu's deception in time, and not become indifferent and suspicious from now on.Now, she copied Feng Yi's words back then to comfort the girl, but the girl listened in a daze, and suddenly said: "Just like a young lady."

Qingyan:? ? ?What kind of feeling is this? !

The servant girl explained earnestly: "For Miss, you saved the servant from the Second Young Master back then. Maybe it was just a small act of kindness, but for Yu'er, it was a great hope."

Now it was Qingyan's turn to be dazed, she didn't expect the servant girl to think of that, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

On the other side, the servant girl seemed to think about it, and her spirits became better again: "I understand."

Qingyan: "??" Understand what?Forget it, anyway, the goal has been achieved.Don't worry about the details.

"However, from this point of view, the concubine is really a good person. If it weren't for her this time, we would suffer a big loss!" The servant girl showed shame. "Slave maid said that to her before?"

Qing Yan smiled and nodded the maidservant's forehead: "You know now!"

The servant girl stuck out her tongue and sighed, "Mrs. Concubine Rong is really amazing. Just by looking at the patterns drawn by the maidservants, I can guess the scheme of Concubine Rong."

Qing Yan also sighed: "Yes. It's really thanks to her..."

Time went back to an hour ago, in Cuixi Palace.

Shi Yunyue looked at the patterns Yu'er drew on the rice paper, and pondered for a while: "So that's how it is."

Qing Yan was confused: "Is there something wrong with this pattern?"

Shi Yunyue tapped on the pattern with her slender fingers: "Princess, do you know what this flower knot is called?"

This is really embarrassing for Qingyan, she has never been interested in female celebrities, although she can also play flower knots, but most of the time she just plays with Yu'er herself, so there is no research.

Yu'er paid more attention to this thing, and helped her out in time: "Isn't it just the eight-treasure knot?"

Shi Yunyue shook her head: "No, it's just similar in shape. This knot is called the Nine Beads Ruyi Knot, which is based on the "Ancient Kyushu Four Desolation Classic", which means that the nine states in the world are united. The biggest difference from the Eight Treasures Knot , is here..." The concubine pointed at the pattern: "There is a small knot on the top of this ruyi, and there should be gold beads embedded on the small knot. The nine beads are all hollowed out, engraved with auspicious clouds and auspiciousness. And the eight treasures But there are no knots, and most of the beads of the eight treasures are jade beads. They are carved in the shape of grains and miscellaneous grains, which means a good harvest, and most of them will have jade clasps instead of wishful ones."

Qingyan's master and servant were stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect that little Huajie has such a reputation.

Yu'er suddenly shouted: "That's not right, the knot I tied for Concubine Rong only had eight beads!"

"I'm afraid that's where the problem lies." Shi Yunyue's eyes darkened, and Qing Yan looked at him, startled in his heart: "You mean?"

"Perhaps, Concubine Rong deliberately loosened the flower knot and hid a golden bead, and then asked Miss Yu'er to help her deal with it. The nine-bead wishful knot is very rare. It is also similar to the eight-treasure knot. Miss Yu'er had a preconceived idea that it was a golden bead. It's an eight-treasure knot, so naturally I wouldn't notice that a golden bead is missing. And then..." She glanced at Qingyan and stopped talking.

Qingyan already understood what she meant: "Then, she will find an opportunity to frame Yu'er for stealing the gold beads. What a concubine Rong..."

Yu'er and Rong Bin just ran into each other by accident, and it's really scary that Rong Concubine could come up with such a vicious idea in such a short period of time.But what's worse is that even if they know about Concubine Rong's conspiracy now, they can't solve it. Concubine Rong bought off the search slaves and pretended to find gold beads on Yu'er, but Yu'er couldn't argue with it, and she would definitely be punished as stealing something from the palace.

Qingyan gritted her teeth, and stood up suddenly: "Yu'er, you leave the palace immediately. Don't go back to the palace, find a place to hide..."

In any case, if Concubine Rong really intends to take Yu'er under the knife, she must protect Yu'er first no matter what.

"Miss! The servant is not leaving!" Yu'er was also anxious, "If the concubine Rong really wants to harm me, then once the servant leaves, won't it be regarded as absconding with dirty things, and I can't tell!"

How could Qingyan not know that this was a bad idea, but now she has no other choice??

Beside, Shi Yunyue looked at her coldly, and then she thought about it, she smiled and said, "Princess, don't worry. The concubine happens to have something, maybe it can help Miss Yu'er get through this disaster."

Saying that, let Xiao He go to the inner room to find a small box and open it in public.

Qingyan and Yu'er were stunned when they saw it: "Isn't this the Nine-Jewel Wishful Knot! Why is it here with you?"

Lying quietly in the box is a nine-bead wishful flower knot.After all, Qingyan was calmer. After looking closely, he noticed that this knot was not the other. Although it looked exactly the same, there were all nine gold beads on this knot, so he understood: "You have one too?"

Shi Yunyue took the flower knot in her hand, stroked it twice, with a complicated expression: "I didn't expect it to be used in this kind of place?"

She shook her head, and suddenly began to unravel the flower knots: "The one in Concubine Rong's hand, if there is no accident, should be a gift from the Queen Mother. It was made by the same person as this knot, and the materials used are the same." Shi Yunyue While speaking, he quickly removed a gold bead and handed it to Qingyan.

"Senior sister, what is this?" Qingyan was surprised.

"If Concubine Rong really does something unrighteous, the concubine can use this bead to break it."

"This, how can this be done?" Seeing that the flower knot was carefully preserved, and listening to Shi Yunyue's words, Qingyan naturally guessed that the flower knot should be a precious gift from someone to Shi Yunyue, so she rejected it. She refused to accept it, but Shi Yunyue forced it into her hand: "Princess, just take it. It's better to be useful than to put it in the bottom of the box. If we guess wrong, you can return it to me."

Recalling the present moment, Qingyan really sighed, luckily Shi Yunyue's golden bead, otherwise I really don't know how to get through today's catastrophe.

At the same time, she was also very curious.

Who weaved these two nine-bead wishful knots and gave them to the Queen Mother and Shi Yunyue respectively, these two people who can't be tied?
