Lu Jinxi, who had left the Duke's Mansion, re-entered the East Court with the company of Bailu and others.

There are several maids guarding the house.

When she went up the steps, she wanted to ask about Gui Shou Zhang, but she didn't expect that when she looked up, she saw a few unfamiliar maids standing outside.

The peach red jacket and skirt looked very delicate. When standing, his legs were together and his back was straight, but his head was lowered slightly, and his hands were folded in front of him.

The rules are more than a little bit stricter than the other maids in the house?

Even this appearance is extremely outstanding, and it doesn't look like it can be taught by the government.

When her mind changed, before she had time to ask, a maid who was serving in the East Court came up and whispered to Lu Jinxitong: "Second grandma, the eldest princess has been waiting in the room for a while, waiting for you."

princess?

Lu Jinxi's eyelids jumped.

Isn't it the Princess Yongning that she mentioned to Ye Shi before?

When the late emperor was there, she took the honor of a princess and married Xue Huan, the second son of General Xue, and became the concubine of her mother-in-law Sun, with a daughter under her knees.

Because of her high status, although she is only in front of the second room's home, the big room does not respect her.

And because of her great contribution when Emperor Qing'an succeeded to the throne, she was also quite powerful in the court, and her status in the mansion was even more detached.

The original Lu Shi, with such a gentle temperament, was able to support the Zhang family in the house for a few years, but she actually had her support behind her.

Lu Jinxi didn't know why, but it didn't prevent her from paying attention to the matter.

I just don't know why this long princess aunt came here?

She frowned, nodded, and walked into the house, but she remembered everything Ye Shi said before...

The eldest princess and Gu Taishi are very close and should know a lot.

Is it possible...

Chapter 12 I cheated?

The house was too quiet.

Xue Chi was still there, but he was already asleep, so he was lying on the large brocade mattress on the heated kang. Because the charcoal pot was burning in the room, only a thin quilt was covered.

Qing Que stood by the side with a very solemn expression.

The medicine jar on the carved lacquer square table has been put away, but a dismantled letter is placed there. On the left sits a woman of some age, dressed in Chinese clothes, full of majesty.

The sandalwood-colored palace attire has not been replaced, and the Xiangyun Ruifeng pierced with gold threads is still very eye-catching. On her head is Ling Xu's bun, with gold hairpins and jade hairpins, and a pair of earrings with peacocks and beads, which looks extravagant.

Even though there are some fine lines at the corners of her eyes due to her age, her facial features are very delicate, with a touch of sharpness and grace.

Whether it is temperament or deportment, it is only the person who has been in the upper position for a long time.

When Lu Jinxi came in, she was holding a thin small silver fire, and dabbling at the ashes in the stove, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

She didn't lift her head when she heard the footsteps, as if knowing that Lu Jinxi was going to salute, she just said lightly, "Sit down."

When Lu Jinxi was about to salute, he stopped.

This voice, with a bit of grace in the coldness, seems to be familiar.

But she couldn't tell why, she felt a little uneasy when she heard it: she always felt that the eldest princess came this time, it seemed that it was not for ordinary things...

Looking at her palace dress, before she took it off, she knew that she came to wait for her when she returned to the palace.

She is a junior, and her status is insignificant, where is it worth the dignified princess to wait?

With doubts, Lu Jinxi still answered and sat down.

She just gave her a hundred courage, and she didn't dare to sit opposite Princess Yongning on the kang, so she just picked up a rose chair on her right hand and sat upright.

This time, Princess Yongning lifted her eyelids and glanced at her.

His gaze went from top to bottom, with an undisguised scrutiny, even a little sharp, like a knife, to cut her open and study it carefully.

The dignified and gentle eyebrows, the sober and elegant makeup, the hands folded together, appear to be well-organized, from top to bottom, this body is indeed not easy to pick wrong.

The palace, the court, the Princess Yongning knows everything.

Look at people, she is also a good hand.

As soon as she came back to the mansion today, she heard Hao Yitong's excitement, and even heard that the arrogant and domineering Wei Xian was finally planted in Lu Jinxi's hands.

Not only was she humiliated, but even the maid was beaten into a pig's head.

You know, Lu Jinxi's temperament, she scolded her many times, but she didn't get better.

Now, it has changed.

It should be said that world events are unpredictable and people's hearts are unpredictable. Sometimes she may not be accurate when looking at people?

Not only did she not expect Lu Jinxi's change, but she also didn't expect that she would have the courage to do such a thing...

Thinking of this, a burst of anger rushed up.

Fortunately, with a flash from the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Brother Chi who was sleeping beside her. She frowned, pressed it down, and instructed Qingque, "Take Brother Chi down to sleep first."

To avoid talking for a while and arguing.

Qingque subconsciously glanced at Lu Jinxi.

Lu Jinxi nodded invisibly, but didn't say anything.

Xue Chi was sleeping soundly at the moment, and he couldn't see the arrogant and domineering look at all.

There was a wound on his face, but his face was rosy and sweet, and Qing Que's movements were light, so he didn't wake him up, and he carried him out without any movement.

This time, there were only a few maids in the house.

Princess Yongning waved her hand and told them to go out, leaving only a few maids beside her.

Seeing this, Lu Jinxi still doesn't understand, I'm afraid there is something serious.

She frowned slightly, and put on a respectful attitude: "My niece just went to deal with the matter of the British government, and I came back late. I didn't know my aunt had arrived. I hope my aunt will forgive me."

"This palace has heard about it."

Princess Yongning squeezed the silver fire chopstick, turned it around in her hand, and seemed not to care, and asked casually, "How did you handle it? Nothing major happened, right?"

"It's all a play between two children. The wife of the prince is reasonable and did not pursue it. My niece has asked the ghost doctor Dr. Zhang to see the two children. They are all traumatic. After a few days, they will die. will heal."

Lu Jinxi answered cautiously and did not dare to ask more.

There was a cold wind blowing through the window, shaking the window paper rustling.

In this room of few people, it was extraordinarily cold and quiet, and it was extraordinarily trembling.

"It can be considered that you have been ill for a while, and you have made some progress. You have found a ghost, and you have handled it not badly."

Princess Yongning glanced out the window, her voice was a little unpredictable, and then she turned to look at her again. Seeing that her eyebrows were lowered and her eyes looked cautious, she couldn't help laughing.

"To tell the truth, you forced Xue Kuang to give the power of the family back then. Ben Gong also knows what your situation is, but you are too soft-hearted to hold them down. I didn't expect that today it is called Ben Gong. Take another look..."

Lu Jinxi was speechless.

The grievances between Xue Kuang and the original Lu family are really hard to say.

Emperor Qing'an ordered the marriage and made the two of them a couple.

But when Xue Kuang returned to Beijing, he brought a concubine and a child, and he didn't seem to have any feelings for the Lu family.

Without love, can't you still have power?

Lu Jinxi pondered that it was out of such a mentality that the Lu family had to maintain her dignity as Xue Kuang's wife, so she made such a request.

The wife, Mrs. Sun, lost her husband. Although her body was strong, her heart was weak, and she didn't care about the affairs of the house.

Therefore, this condition, it is said that Xue Kuang agreed very easily.

It's just that Lu's performance over the years has not been very good.

Now that Princess Yongning mentioned it, Lu Jinxi knew that this aunt was supporting her behind her back, and also pointed her, mostly because of Xue Kuang's promise in the past.
