Chapter 342 Then Roll in the Mud
"Donggui, thank you for taking this food box to the Third Prince." After having eaten her fill, Xiao Jiuyue specially left a portion of eight-treasure rice and a portion of date paste pastry she made herself and put them in the food box.
"And this letter." Xiao Jiuyue took the written letter and handed it over.
Dong Gui looked at the carefully crafted jujube paste cake and the specially reserved eight-treasure rice pudding. She hesitated and said, "Miss, will the Third Prince misunderstand you?"
Xiao Jiuyue took a look and suddenly saw that someone was sending food and a letter, as if he wanted to ask something from someone.
"Then don't take the lunch box." As soon as Xiao Jiuyue said this, Donggui's eyelids jumped, and she ran away with the lunch box and the letter. What if the Third Prince knew that the food prepared by the eldest lady herself was not eaten because of her words, how would she be able to recover?
Xiao Jiuyue was speechless as he watched Donggui leave like a gust of wind.
Qiao family.
"Sister Huilan, I made you a wolfberry, red date and pigeon soup, which is just right to nourish your body." Bai Miaoyun's cheerful voice sounded. As she led Zhu Hong to the door, Bai Miaoyun stopped. There was a special sound in the room, and Bai Miaoyun, as an experienced person, could recognize it at once.
"Empress." Zhu Hong supported Bai Miaoyun and looked at her worriedly.
Bai Miaoyun clutched Zhu Hong's hand tightly. Listening to the noise in the room, her eyes instantly turned red, and her chest rose and fell violently. After a long while, she whispered, "Zhu Hong, put down the pigeon soup."
Bai Miaoyun's eyes were dim and lost, and she turned around and went back to her room.
"My Lady, you've been caught in the rain. Have a bowl of ginger soup!"
Zhu Hong came over with a bowl of steaming hot ginger soup. Just as she placed it in front of her, Bai Miaoyun slapped her away. The ginger soup and the broken pieces of the porcelain bowl spilled all over the floor. Zhu Hong knelt down without a second thought. The broken pieces landed right on her knees. The pain made her frown. Then she crawled down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Do you want to scald me to death?" Bai Miaoyun said unhappily, and tormented Zhu Hong to bring several bowls of ginger soup back and forth. Finally, her anger gradually subsided. She took a sip of the ginger soup and put it down.
I can't drink even a sip of this spicy ginger soup.
"Go to the kitchen and make some sour soup." After Bai Miaoyun gave the order, Zhu Hong hurried out. Just as she reached the door, she was called back: "Come back, Zhu Hong, are you stupid? His Highness just favored that vixen. If I go make sour soup now, won't that tell people that I'm sour?"
"The daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate can only be a concubine at best." Bai Miaoyun slammed the table heavily, gritting her teeth. With a flick of her hand, the beautiful silk cushion on the table was torn off by Bai Miaoyun. She said, "I hope she gets pregnant with a son, otherwise..."
Bai Miaojun's eyes turned cold, and she took a deep breath. She said, "Zhu Hong, have someone go into the house and clean up the things."
"Yes." Zhu Hong responded with her eyes lowered.
"Tell those people to shut up. If I hear a single word they say, whether they should or shouldn't, I'll sell them out." Bai Miaoyun glanced at them coldly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Zhu Hong responded, and quickly led people into the house, carefully cleaning up the things that needed to be cleaned up.
Bai Miaoyun bathed and changed into clean clothes. She sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked, "Zhu Hong, call Li Da over."
"Your Majesty, it's night now..." Zhu Hong shut up before she could finish her words and went to ask Li Da for help.
"Mr. Li, have you found out everything?" Bai Miaoyun was wearing an outer coat, sitting in the main seat, drinking tea.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Jiuyue lives in a house in the east. It seems that he is here to do business. I saw people selling cloth and rouge and powder coming to the house." Li Da bowed and answered, telling her the news he had found out in the past few days.
"Doing business?" Bai Miaojun's previous frustrations were all gone at this moment. She smiled happily and said, "The eldest daughter of the Xiao family, who used to be so high and mighty, is actually showing up in public to do business?"
"Indeed, all the men in the Xiao family were exiled, leaving only my grandmother and the others. The old are old, the young are young. If Xiao Jiuyue doesn't do business, I'm afraid they won't even have enough food and clothing for their family, right?"
"Do they have many servants around them?" Bai Miaoyun asked Li Da with a smile.
Li Da thought seriously and replied, "Four maids and two guards."
"Hahaha~~" Bai Miaojun laughed immediately, and tears almost came out of her eyes. You know, when Xiao Jiuyue was still the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, there were more than a dozen maids, old women, servants and guards in the yard, but now it is so shabby.
"That's refreshing! Zhu Hong, go warm up the wine," Bai Miaoyun instructed, looking at Li Da and asking, "Have you seen any other members of the Xiao family?"
"No." Li Da shook his head and said, "There is a young man, but he doesn't look the right age."
"A man? Could it be that she really became someone's concubine?" Bai Miaojun said excitedly, then shook her head and said, "No, if she really became a concubine, why would she show up in public to do business? The young man, maybe her fiancé?"
Thinking of this possibility, Bai Miaoyun continued to inquire, "Have you found out where that young man came from? What's his relationship with Xiao Jiuyue?"
"Your Majesty, the guards around her are very vigilant. I dare not get close to her." Li Da answered with his eyes lowered.
"No, no matter who she is, I can't let her get up!" A trace of resentment flashed in Bai Miaoyun's eyes. Since she has already fallen, she might as well roll in the mud and never get up again in her life!
She felt extremely happy when Xiao Jiuyue, who used to be high and mighty and always compared herself to her, was living the worst life.
"Li Da." Bai Miaoyun hooked her finger at Li Da and whispered directly into his ear: "Find someone to destroy her innocence, preferably in front of that young master."
A flash of shock flashed across Li Da's eyes, and he immediately said, "Your Majesty, if this matter is discovered, Your Majesty..."
Bai Miaoyun's eyes instantly turned cold, and she opened her red lips slightly: "You can't even handle such a small matter. All of you can go to hell."
The words were so light, as if they were not talking about matters of life and death, but about some irrelevant trivial matters.
"Yes, my lady, I will complete the task." Li Da frowned and said seriously, it didn't matter if he died, but he still had a wife and children to support, and they were all in the Bai family!
…
"Your Highness." Bai Miaojun had just loosened her clothes when she saw the Crown Prince approaching and immediately came to greet him: "Your Highness's clothes are wet. Someone, bring some water for a bath."
"Your Highness, are you hungry? It just so happens that the kitchen has warmed up the lotus seed porridge. I'll ask Zhu Hongwen to make some for Your Highness."
Bai Miaojun spoke in a gentle tone, loosening his clothes with ease and then pinching his shoulders. The prince pinched his eyebrows and said, "Miaojun."
"It's Sister Huilan's blessing to be able to serve me." Bai Miaoyun gently pinched his shoulders, her gentle voice no different from usual.
The prince grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. He raised his hand and scratched her nose: "Is it sore again?"
