The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

Xiao Xixi repeated what Shang Kui had just said to herself.

Luo Qinghan looked up at her.

"Do you suspect that Xixiang Pavilion has a connection with Duke Hongguo?"

Xiao Xixi held her cheek with one hand, rubbed her fingers along the edge of the chessboard, and muttered.

"Actually, it's not really suspicious, I just think it's strange. We just went to the Xixiang Pavilion yesterday, and at night there was a girl in the Xixiang Pavilion who went to Hongguo Gong, and then the next day, the girl It was a coincidence that someone was killed."

Luo Qinghan: "Since you think there may be a problem with Duke Hongguo, you might as well go meet him directly."

Xiao Xixi: "Aren't you going to scare the snake?"

Luo Qinghan: "Maybe it will lead the snake out of the hole."

Xiao Xixi put down the last piece: "I won."

Luo Qinghan looked at the stubborn Baizi on the chessboard, silent for a moment, and said, "Come again."

Xiao Xixi: "I'm not coming, I'm going to read the script."

Luo Qinghan: "How can it be interesting to play chess in the book?"

Xiao Xixi: "That's a lot more interesting!"

She stood up and ran back to read the script with Concubine Li and Yao Jieyu.

The three didn't stop until they saw noon.

Concubine Li and Yao Jieyu borrowed what they had not read, and planned to take it back and read it again, and then return it to the imperial concubine after reading it.

Xiao Xixi urged: "It's okay to read the story, but don't forget to give a fair evaluation after reading it. Ben Gong still has to give people a score."

It's just a few comments, it's trivial! Concubine Li and Yao Jieyu readily agreed.

After lunch, Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi left the palace and went to Hongguo Gongfu.

Hongguo Gong, as the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, is not too young. He is now fifty-eight years old. He is tall and thin. He likes to dress up as a Taoist priest on weekdays. .

This person often lingered in the flowers when he was young. He slept with the slightly beautiful maids in the family. The concubine room was one room after another, and there were more outside rooms and confidants. But come.

Later, he probably played too hard, hollowed out his body, and became severely ill.

After recovering from his illness, he restrained himself a lot, and he went to the Taoist temple to burn incense and donate money every three to five days. He often wore Taoist robes on weekdays.

It seemed that doing so would really make oneself less greedy.

But in fact, he is only a little more restrained than before, and there are still many women in the backyard.

With so many women, disputes are inevitable. The Duke of Hongguo has made many jokes about this, and once became a laughing stock in the aristocratic circle of aristocratic families.

Duke Hongguo himself doesn't care.

Anyway, those people didn't dare to come to him and tell him what to do with him. No one but the empress dowager could control him.

Hearing of the sudden visit of the emperor and his concubine, Duke Hongguo was taken aback.

He pushed away the favored concubine in his arms, put on his clothes and shoes in a hurry, and hurried out to pick him up.

Because he was in a hurry, when he ran out of the gate, he accidentally tripped over the threshold and almost fell a dog and ate shit in public.

If it were to be normal, he would definitely be so mad that people would tear down the threshold.

But now that the emperor's carriage was parked at the door, he didn't dare to lose his temper, he could only pretend that nothing had happened, trotted down the stairs, and bowed respectfully.

"Wei Chen pays respects to the emperor and noble concubine."

The door opened, Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi walked down first.

Xiao Xixi looked at Duke Hongguo's face.

Judging from his appearance, this person has been clothed in brocade and food since he was a child, and when he grows up, he enjoys all the glory and wealth, which is a very good life for wealth and honor.

It's just that this man's mind is not right, and there is a sinister meaning in his eyes.

I'm afraid it won't end well.

Luo Qinghan said in a low voice, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't come to visit my uncle and grandpa for a long time, so I wanted to come to your house to sit and have a sit, and didn't say hello to you in advance, wouldn't you blame me for being abrupt?"

The Duke of Hongguo hurriedly said: "How could it be? Your Majesty can come to the humble house and make the house shine, and it is too late for the ministers to be flattered. How can I blame you?"

He respectfully led the people into the mansion and served good refreshments.

Luo Qinghan casually asked about Duke Hongguo's current situation.

Hong Guogong naturally answers any questions.

One person asked and the other answered, and the chat was quite harmonious.

Xiao Xixi ate the cakes in small bites while quietly observing the words and deeds of Duke Hongguo.

She found that the grandfather of the country did look somewhat similar to the queen dowager, but because he was immersed in alcohol all year round, his body was excessively indulgent, he looked thin, and the corners of his eyes were slightly drooping, and he looked very uninspired.

After she finished eating a plate of cakes, she euphemistically expressed that she wanted to go to Gongfang.

Hongguo Gong asked the steward to lead her there.

Xiao Xixi came out of Gong's room, pretended to be curious again, and strolled in the yard for a while.

The steward didn't stop her, but just followed behind her.

Just like this, Xiao Xixi bumped into two concubines.

Those two were the concubines of Duke Hongguo, and they were making a fuss over a trivial matter at the moment, and the commotion was quite loud.

Xiao Xixi wanted to lean over to see what was going on.

The steward, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke up.

"The imperial concubine, please don't go there, don't let such trivial matters in the back house disturb your mood."

Xiao Xixi had to stop.

When she turned to leave, she happened to hear a concubine yelling.

"I knew that you, like that Yin Shuang last night, had a crush on Mr. Ye. You sluts who are eating from the bowl and watching the pot, I'm going to report you in front of the Grandpa!"

It seemed that someone was trying to persuade the fight, and the noise gradually subsided.

Xiao Xixi returned to the house, pretended to be nothing, and continued to eat her refreshments.

When the chat was almost over, Luo Qinghan took Xiao Xixi and left the Hongguo Gongfu.

After Hong Guogong sent the two away, he immediately put away the smile on his face, called the steward, and asked what the imperial concubine did in the backyard? Why did you go to Gongfang for so long?

The steward didn't dare to hide it, and told the whole story.

After hearing this, Duke Hong Guo was furious, and immediately had the two quarrelling concubines slaughtered, and the corpses were thrown out to feed the dogs.

Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan took the carriage back to the palace.

As soon as they arrived in the palace, they heard that Shang Kui asked to see him.

Shang Kui respectfully said.

"The last general has already identified the girl who died in vain in the Xixiang Hall. Her name is Yinshuang. She is sixteen years old this year. She is a well-known prostitute in the Xixiang Hall. She is good at playing the pipa. There is very little information about her and it is very vague, and it is very difficult to verify the authenticity."

Xiao Xixi: "Her name is Yinshuang?"

Shang Kui nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Xixi remembered the content of the quarrel she heard in the Hongguo Gongfu.

When the two concubines quarreled, two people were mentioned, namely Yin Shuang and Mr. Ye.

Originally, she thought that Yin Shuang went to Hongguo Gongfu last night to find Hongguo Gong, but now it does not seem to be the case. The person Yinshuang is really looking for should be Mr. Ye.

So here comes the question.

Who is that Mr. Ye?

...
