I was Idle and Cool Chapter 12: I cheated?

The house is 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 basin was burning in the room, only a thin quilt was covered.

Qing Que stood by, with a very solemn expression.

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

The sandalwood-colored palace attire has not been changed, and the Xiangyun Ruifeng pierced with gold thread on the top 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 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 small, thin 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."

Lu Jinxi's gesture of salute suddenly stopped.

This voice has a bit of grace in the coldness, and the tone seems to be familiar.

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

Looking at her palace outfit, before she took it off, she knew that as soon as she returned to the palace, she came to wait for her.

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

Having doubts, Lu Jinxi finally answered and sat down.

I 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.

The gaze is from top to bottom, with an undisguised look, even a little sharp, like a knife, to cut her open and study it carefully.

Dignified and gentle eyebrows and eyes, sober and elegant makeup, hands folded together, it looks well-organized, from top to bottom, this body is indeed not too wrong.

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

She's also a good hand at watching people.

As soon as she came back to the mansion today, she heard the excitement of Hao Yitong, 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 him many times, but it didn't improve.

Nowadays, things have 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?

She not only did not expect Lu Jinxi's change, but also did not expect her to have the courage to do such a thing...

Thinking of this, there is a rush of anger.

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."

Stop talking and arguing for a while.

Qingque subconsciously glanced at Lu Jinxi.

Lu Jinxi nodded invisibly, but said nothing.

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

There was an injury on his face, but his face was ruddy and very sweet. Qingque's movements were also light. He didn't wake him up, and he was carried out without any movement.

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

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

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 affairs of the British government. She came back late, and I didn't know that my aunt had arrived. I hope my aunt will forgive me."

"I have heard about the matter."

Eldest Princess Yongning squeezed the silver fire chopper, turned it around in her hand, didn't seem to care much, and asked casually, "How did you handle it? Is there nothing major?"

"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 it for the two children. day, and you will be healed.”

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

A cold wind blew past the window, shaking the window paper.

In this room of few people, it seems extraordinarily cold and quiet, and it is 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."

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

"To be honest, you forced Xue Kuang to give you the power in charge of the family back then. I also know what your situation is, but you are too soft-hearted to hold them down. Unexpectedly, today Ask Ben Gong to look at it differently..."

Lu Jinxi was speechless.

The grudge between Xue Kuang and the original Lu family is really hard to say.

Emperor Qing'an made a marriage plan and made two people 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 I still have power?

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

My wife, Mrs. Sun, lost her husband. Although her body is strong, her heart is weak, and she doesn't care about the affairs of the house.

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

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

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

What I can't give, I will never give; what I can give you, I will protect you.

When Lu Jinxi wanted to come, he felt a little ironic, but he didn't know whether to mock the emperor who gave him the marriage or the couple.

She sank her thoughts and replied slowly, "Auntie remembers that after her niece got better, she has figured out a lot, and she doesn't dare to be as confused as before."

"If you are truly enlightened, that's a good thing."

The corner of her lips curved, Princess Yongning smiled gracefully, but her words were elusive.

"You were ill a few days ago, and the house didn't bother you with any big or small matters. But now I can't wait. It just so happens that you are recovering. I'll come to you today to tell you something."

Subconsciously, Lu Jinxi thought of what Ye said.

She considered for a moment, then asked boldly, "What Auntie wants to talk about, but is it about Gu Taishi's mansion?"

"You know?"

Princess Yongning was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at her.

Lu Jinxi smiled slightly and replied, "I didn't know, but I just went to the next door for a visit, and Mrs. Shizi happened to talk to me about this matter, and she also asked me about the eldest son of Gu. So we After chatting for three or two sentences, I know a thing or two, but I don't know what happened to Gu Taishi going up the mountain last night..."

So it was.

Although she thought she was concerned about the outside world, I didn't expect it to be a coincidence.

But it's good to know a little bit to save her having to talk too much.

Princess Yongning held the stove and remembered the gossip she heard in the palace today, as well as the news from the Gu family when she left the palace.

"Master Gu went up the mountain last night to visit Abbot Jueyuan, who is also the senior brother of Gu Juefei."

Abbot Jueyuan is a famous monk, but he has not inherited the mantle of his master ascetic monk for a few years.

More than 20 years ago, Gu Juefei was born not long ago. He was weak and had a serious illness.

The ascetic monk was traveling abroad at the time, and he had a little knowledge of the tricks of the yellow and yellow.

At that time, Gu Juefei didn't have a name yet.

Master Gu took care of the kindness of the ascetic monk, and felt that this incident was really fate, so he asked the ascetic monk to accept Gu Juefei as a registered disciple, and also did a little bit of relief.

Therefore, the word "juefei" in Gu Juefei's name comes from ascetic monks, and they are arranged according to the seniority of Buddhism.

The present Abbot Jueyuan is also a disciple of the ascetic monk.

After all, although Gu Juefei is a layman, he is Jueyuan's junior and apprentice. If you really want to discuss seniority in the Jokhang Temple, many young novices will call him "shishu" or "shishuzu".

"The abbot Jueyuan is a good friend with Gu Juefei, and he is a man of great wisdom."

Princess Yongning pondered, but smiled slowly, as if she saw the turbulent capital soon after.

"Gu Juefei is indeed unscrupulous, and his temperament is treacherous and unpredictable. But he doesn't necessarily have a heartless heart against his father. Besides, the current game of chess in the capital is just on point, how could he be willing to do so? Not coming back?"

There is a little bit of sarcasm in the words.

Lu Jinxi was a little confused-

She heard from the maids that Gu Juefei is always entangled with Wei Yi and is an infatuated kind;

Gu Juefei, who she heard from Ye Shi's mouth, took the third flower at the age of 23 and was a talented young man like jade;

But now, the Gu Juefei in Princess Yongning's mouth is actually "unscrupulous", "cunning", "cunning and unpredictable", and has become a shuddering mastermind?

It's just that Princess Yongning didn't explain anything.

"An hour ago, there was news from the Jokhang Temple that Gu Juefei would return, but the time has not yet been set..."

Speaking of this, she paused, looked at Lu Jinxi, and gave a rather playful smile.

"It is said to wait, when will the snow on the mountain clear up, and when will he go down the mountain."

Lu Jinxi was a little stunned: this shelf is really big enough...

Eldest Princess Yongning sighed, Taishi Gu was such an old fox, he had a glorious life, and he never fell down much. As a result, he was old, and he wanted to see his son, but also to see the face of God.

She only said to Lu Jinxi: "There are not many people in Beijing who know this news. In the past ten days, if there is no continuous snow, there will be a day of snow melting. You are now the wife of the general's mansion. , I have to go to Taishi's mansion in ten days. The gifts don't have to be too generous, it's best to send it to the idea. This matter is the most important thing, don't be careless, you should be optimistic."

"Thank you auntie for the suggestion, niece can save it."

It seems that ten days later, there is a good show to watch at the birthday banquet of the Grand Master's Mansion?

Getting the exact news about Gu Taishi's going up the mountain, Lu Jin cherished his heart and slowly fell to the ground.

What Ye said was true.

The influence of Gu Taishi's mansion in the court should be extremely solid, otherwise, the matter of a eldest son's return would not have affected people's hearts like this;

Princess Yongning is indeed very close to Gu Taishi's mansion. The news that no one could ask for, came to her so lightly, that half a penny wasn't worth it.

And...

Her evaluation of Gu Juefei is completely different from others.

Either she has prejudice against this person, or she knows more than anyone else thinks.

Lu Jinxi's thoughts flashed, and she was slightly thoughtful.

Just very soon, she felt a gaze, raised her head, and found that the eldest princess was looking at her again.

After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Is there something wrong with Auntie?"

"When Ben Gong left the palace today, at the gate of the palace, I met Master Song Zhiyan, a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy."

This is a straight statement with little emotion.

Even with those eyes, there is no temperature, there is a hidden taste of wind and rain.

Lu Jinxi didn't understand at all.

Song Zhiyan?

She hasn't heard of it, but she doesn't know what it has to do with the original body?

Only from Lu Jinxi's face, you can't see any mood swings.

She is not a simple person. It is as common as eating and drinking at the negotiating table in the shopping mall. Even if the Princess Yongning is in front of her, she does not reveal any flaws.

This kind of motionlessness is like a mountain, and when it falls into the eyes of Princess Yongning, it becomes a bit more complicated.

Has she been underestimating her?

After hearing Song Zhiyan's name, she was still so calm.

Thinking of what happened today, Princess Yongning felt uneasy, but when she saw Lu Jinxi's appearance, she was reminded of the bad debt she had with Xue Kuang.

Who owes whom?

This is an edict, a pair of blind people.

On the carved lacquer square table, the opened letter has been sitting for a long time.

"You are the wife of the general's mansion, and you are the first-class official. This palace knows that Xue Kuang is sorry for you, and you have no reason to be a widow for him. I have always wanted you to remarry, but you..." Yong Ning Chang The princess only picked up the letter, got up, and sneered, "But what are you doing?"

Lu Jinxi felt that something was wrong when she heard it, and frowned.

Princess Yongning threw the letter directly and threw it into her arms. There was no smile on her graceful face, only deep disappointment!

"But a bachelor from the fifth grade of the Hanlin Academy, still married, and worthy of the first grade of my general's palace?"

"Can't you find someone worthy?"

"It's you and his childhood sweetheart, why bother to spoil yourself like this?!"

Lu Jinxi was stupid.

This development completely exceeded her expectations. It was as exciting as a roller coaster and left her speechless for a long time.

She could roughly hear something, but...

This aunt, the princess, is so open-minded?

She didn't know what to say for a while, but only looked at Princess Yongning with a strange look.

When Princess Yongning saw it, she was angry and said angrily: "You're just so confused, forget it!"

After speaking, I didn't want to stay for a moment, so I just walked away.
