Chapter 08 Rewards
Huilan couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep. There was soothing medicine in the medicine soup. Li Chengze watched her fall asleep before leaving the inner room and going outside.
In the small outer hall, I took off my dirty clothes and asked Chang Ji to change into a sky-blue tunic.
"Liangyuan is young, so she needs to be taken care of more. You can help her find a small kitchen.
She was abused by Li Liangdi and was frightened. Her body also needs to be recuperated. It would be more convenient to have a kitchen and find some neat and innocent slaves to serve her."
Li Chengze gave the order without thinking. After all, she is his own woman. What kind of thing is the Li family that dares to abuse me? If something goes wrong, I have to take the blame for you alone. It is simply abominable.
"Yes, what would Li Liangdi say if the emperor and queen asked her?"
Changji was worried that his superiors would criticize him.
"That girl is right. She was abused before she came to Kwai Shui and she was not favored. It really doesn't make sense.
I don't get close to the Li family, and I don't like Li Liangdi. How could my father blame me? The fault lies with the Li family."
Li Chengze had already thought of a countermeasure, but this girl inadvertently helped him by helping him think of a way to break the situation.
"It's true that this girl from the Li family is really ruthless. The imperial doctor said that she would have lost her life if it were any later."
If Chang Ji also got an imperial doctor, the imperial doctor's sharp eyes would be able to see everything as soon as he took the pulse.
Li Chengze's face immediately dropped, "No one is allowed to visit Li Liangdi without Gu's order."
"Yes, Master, Hong Ling has been sent to the Criminal Punishment Department. How do you plan to arrange it?"
"No need to come back."
Li Chengze spoke coldly.
The slave bullied the master, whether Liangyuan was favored or not was another matter. However, she was the prince's person and could not be bullied by the slaves. Some people just didn't understand this truth and insisted on relying on the master's power to commit the crime, and ended up killing themselves.
life.
Changji shook his head and sighed inwardly.
Li Chengze walked out of the courtyard and glanced at the gift of lilac, "Take good care of your master. If anything happens, go directly to Chang Ji."
"Slave, thank you for your kindness."
Ding Xiang knelt on the ground and was grateful.
Li Chengze took Chang Ji to the study room.
News came from the East Palace that Ding Liangyuan made a big fuss. The prince had Li Liangdi open her mouth for fifty seconds and put her in solitary confinement. Even the palace maids and eunuchs were secretly discussing it in private.
What's even more exaggerated is that Li Chengze was very tolerant and doting on Ding Liangyuan. He carried her all the way to Qinghui Garden, and many people saw it. It was true.
Yu Liangdi from Fanghua Garden in the northeast corner frowned and sat on the imperial concubine's couch with huanghuali and carved begonia flowers, contemplating, listening to the girl reporting the rumors outside.
"You said that many people saw the prince carrying her to Qinghui Garden?"
Yu Liangdi's family is a civil servant, and her father is a third-rank official. Although it is only one level higher than the fourth-rank official, it is actually more than one level higher. The third rank is followed by the third rank, and the fourth rank is ranked from the fourth rank.
The Yu family belongs to the noble study family of the Qing Dynasty. Yu Liangdi's temperament is rather cold and scholarly. She considers herself to be talented and knowledgeable, and is quite arrogant. She does not look down on a family of vulgar military commanders like the Li family.
Xiuyun, the personal maid, nodded, "That's true. I don't dare to lie to you. I heard that it was because Li Liangdi abused the talented person and didn't hire a doctor or feed her. She wanted to take the opportunity to kill her, which ended up angering the crown prince. Hong
Ling couldn't bear the torture, so she gave up and is already dead."
Yu Liangdi raised her head and took a deep breath, "What a great trick, this little girl shouldn't be underestimated."
"Then what should we do? The prince himself is not a womanizer. He has not entered the backyard a few times in a month. This time Ding Liangyuan shows up again and even gives her a small kitchen with a single door. Master.
None, it’s so biased.”
"She has been abused. I naturally have to take care of her. Otherwise, people will say that I have treated my woman badly. It doesn't matter. I just stand still for now. I am not that idiot like Li Liangdi.
I made enemies out of nowhere. I didn't do anything to the enemies, but I played into them.
She's just a little girl. I don't know when she will be favored by her, and whether the prince will be interested by then is another question.
It's not worth it to rush to expose yourself. Don't provoke that Ding Liangyuan in the future."
Yu Liangdi thought for a while and gave a special instruction.
"Master, is he afraid of her?"
Xiuyun curled her lips unconvinced.
"What do you know? Li Liangdi is at a disadvantage because she is too confident. Ding Liangyuan is young. One of the disadvantages is that we bully the children and let the prince see it. What does it look like? She is not old enough and cannot be favored. It will not hinder her for the time being."
Yu Liangdi gently knocked on the coffee table a few times, thought about it and then said.
"Yes, I understand, slave."
Huilan received the care of the imperial physician and took decoctions to regulate her body. She no longer had recurring fevers at night and her appetite improved.
Chang Ji acted quickly and transferred several capable and honest palace maids and eunuchs to Qinghui Garden, as well as two special cooks, and also sent a lot of ingredients.
Huilan took Peiyuan pills and Lingquan water at night to condition her body and strengthen her foundation to avoid hidden dangers in the future.
Ding Xiang ran in excitedly, "Miss, there are rumors outside that Hong Ling is dead."
"Yeah, it's good news. I'm going to add another dish today, a meat dish. Ben Liangyuan wants to celebrate."
Huilan sat on the carved beech wood imperial concubine's couch in front of the window. She looked out the window and sighed in her heart, "Girl, I will help you kill Hongling. Don't worry. Li Liangdi will go down to apologize to you sooner or later. Just wait a moment."
Wait. I will definitely avenge you."
Now that she has taken possession of this body, Huilan willingly takes on everything she has, even if it means killing someone, she doesn't care.
"Miss, don't feel bad. After all, the Li family is not something ordinary people can mess with."
Ding Xiang thought she was sad that Li Liangdi was still alive.
"The Li family cannot be provoked, but Li Liangdi's life will be mine sooner or later."
There was noise outside, Huilan and Dingxiang got up and went to the yard to take a look.
Chang Ji came and brought rewards.
"The prince rewarded Ding Liangdi with a thousand taels of silver, some silk and satin, and two sets of head and face jewelry..."
Huilan bowed politely and said, "Concubine, thank you for the reward from the prince."
"Liangyuan, the prince is thinking of you."
"Thank you, Eunuch Chang, for making you tired."
Huilan thanked her politely.
"You're welcome."
"Eunuch, the prince is still busy. Will he come again?"
Huilan didn't say she agreed, but asked if she was busy first. If she didn't come, there would be a way to go down.
"I have to attend court and study in the study. I am indeed quite busy. However, I am thinking about you, so why don't I ask my servant to give you a reward? I would like to say that the girl is thinking about her money, so as not to sound petty."
Changji also taught her how to speak.
Huilan pursed her lips and smiled, "Dingxiang, go get the box from my drawer."
"yes."
Ding Xiang quickly ran into the house, took a box and ran back.
Huilan opened the box and took out a fragrant cake, which was a little bigger than the pad of her thumb. There were three pieces in total.
He smelled it and smiled sweetly, "I originally used this for myself. Seeing that he rewarded me with so many things, I gave it to him. It is a fragrance for reading, refreshing and refreshing."
If he has time to come see me, I will give him something better, something he can sleep in, hum! If he doesn’t come, there will be nothing left.”
She shook her head and looked cute, but she was good-looking, so she looked particularly cute.
She also handed the box to Changji.
Chang Ji also smelled it himself and found that the smell was light and pleasant, so he closed the box and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give this slave to the prince."
"Thank you very much."
After seeing off Chang Ji Huilan and returning to the house, Ding Xiang counted the rewards. There were all kinds of silks and satins, the colors were bright and beautiful, and the jewelry was also sparkling and beautiful.
"Miss, the prince is so kind to you. He gives you so many things."
"It will be a blessing to have you in the future. You hope he won't forget me. It's never too late to be happy."
Huilan didn't even look at it. Instead, she picked up a book and started reading.
