296 Dragon Boat Festival
"So, the four dead, ultimately, have something to do with the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, right?" The two old ones used to serve Empress Chen and Concubine Xie, while the two young ones served by Empress Chen and Concubine Xie, one was by the Empress's eldest son and the princess, and the other was by the Imperial Concubine's daughter, Princess Zhaoning.
"Is it... the death of nobleman Ying has to do with them?" If the details were removed, this matter would naturally be directed at Empress Chen and Concubine Xie. But why did it harm the old people more than ten years ago? Besides, if you do so many things, is the murderer really trying to avenge nobleman Ying? Ye Xinyi always feels a little unbelievable.
But she couldn't explain clearly what was strange about it.
"No matter whether the murderer really came for revenge for nobleman Ying, it was obvious that he had a grudge against the queen and Concubine Xie, but I was afraid it was a big grudge." Chen Yue reached out to pick in the needle and thread basket that Ye Xinyi placed on the kang table. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Ye Xinyi specially woven five-color threads, and now one is tied to Shen Yue's wrist, and there are still a lot left in the basket.
Ye Xinyi knew what Chen Yue meant. Recently, not only did people die one after another in the palace, but the prince had two pregnant concubines who were pregnant for no reason, and they had one corpse and two lives. There were even rumors that the prince was violent and the concubines and palace servants in the palace were often beaten by him, but even the pregnant concubines would not let him go.
Although it was still a rumor stage, someone from the Censorate had already written to the letter to the Crown Prince to be unharmed, which caused rumors to spread, allowing the Crown Prince to reflect on himself and speak calmly.
Although Emperor Ganhe didn't say much in court, after going to court, he called the prince to the Nan Study room and scolded him fiercely. When the prince came out of Nan Study room, he didn't say anything, his eyes were still red and wet, and he seemed to have been scolded and cried.
This is a very decent thing for the crown prince of a country, and he did not care about it at all. It can be seen that he was extremely angry.
Ye Xinyi doesn’t care so much about the prince.
However, the few marriages that Concubine Xie saw for Zhaoning failed, and Ye Xinyi couldn't help but worry.
Since that day, she and Zhaoning have never met again. Because it is a troublesome now, Concubine Xie is at the forefront. Zhaoning is also a sensible person, but she has never even sent a letter to her. I don’t know what is going on now. Now it seems that it would be a good thing if she can succeed with Sun Yan.
But I am afraid that the person behind me will take action again to make good things empty.
Such incidents are linked one after another. If it is not directed at Empress Chen and Concubine Xie, no one believes it.
Seeing Ye Xinyi frowning and looking very bitter and revenge, Chen Yue smiled helplessly and reached out to hold her hand, "Okay, don't think too much. Today is the festival, why bother with these things? I'll take you out for lunch later." Because of that case, he had been busy for several days. If it weren't for the festival, he wouldn't have to rest today.
Ye Xinyi's eyebrows still didn't look stretched, "It's quite hot this day, where are you going?" Ye Xinyi looked out the window. The sun was getting louder. This summer came particularly early. Since early April, the weather has been hot every day, and it has not rained for a long time.
Chen Yue ummed a vaguely, "Hot Tianer also has a good place for Heot Tianer. Don't you believe me?" He held Ye Xinyi's hand, but began to gently rub her smooth skin with his fingertips restlessly. When Ye Xinyi raised his eyes and glared at him, he grabbed her hand and pulled it with the flow. Ye Xinyi fell to him and sat down. The two of them were close together, and Chen Yue sniffed her neck, "Huanhuan'er smells so good today!"
Ye Xinyi was immediately turned red by his trouble, "Today's Orchid Festival is naturally fragrant."
Dragon Boat Festival is also called the Orchid Festival. Because May is midsummer, the heat is strong and poisonous insects are raging, it has been customary since ancient times to collect orchids and boil them into soup and take a bath.
When Ye Xinyi was at home, Ye Shi'an would cook medicine soup for the two sisters to bathe on this day of the year. However, this medicine soup is different from the traditional orchid soup. It also adds a lot of medicinal materials to remove evil and wind, which is the best to strengthen the body. This is the first Dragon Boat Festival after Ye Xinyi got married. Yesterday, she prepared a lot of gifts and went to Sanliu Street to taste the tastes of everyone in her family, and sent everything.
Although Chen Yue was busy with official business and could not go with her, he rushed to Sanliu Street to pick her up after going to the yamen. When he came back, Ye Shi'an also prepared a lot of things for them, including the medicinal materials for making medicine soup.
When I woke up early in the morning, Aunt Cai had already boiled the medicine soup. Ye Xinyi had just taken a shower, so naturally she had a faint medicine fragrance.
Chen Yue laughed softly, put his hand on her waist, "Who said that I clearly meant Huanhuan'er Xiang, it has nothing to do with the Balan Festival."
In such weather, he was dressed lightly, but even though his hands were still properly placed on his waist, he was so hot.
Ye Xinyi's face turned red, "Don't you think it's hot like this?" As he said that, he jumped away.
Just so happened that Chen Yue heard the sound of footsteps and did not continue to be rogue, so she let her hide away.
When Ye Xinyi jumped away, he also heard the movement. He glared at him, turned to look out the window, and put on a usual quiet posture.
After a while, Aunt Cai, Taohong and Liulu came in one after another, holding cups, bowls and plates in their hands. It was today's lunch, so rice dumplings were naturally indispensable.
Although Chen Yue grew up in the south, she went to many places around the world and the taste was easy to deal with. Ye Xinyi said that no matter what her parents were, she had been authentic northerners for both lives, so she still liked sweet taste when eating rice dumplings. However, in order to take care of Chen Yue's taste, she was still salty and sweet, and prepared some.
However, in such hot weather, Ye Xinyi had a bad appetite, but after eating one, he cleaned his hands. When Chen Yue saw it, he frowned and said nothing. After eating three rice dumplings, he stopped and waved to Liu Lu and the others to collect the things. He turned to pick up the five-poison sachet that Ye Xinyi placed in the needle and thread basket, and hung it on Ye Xinyi's clothes.
Seeing this, Ye Xinyi couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm not a child anymore, I still wear this..."
"What are you afraid of? Every year, many girls outside wear it, and not only children wear it. Besides, my Huanhuan's hand is skillful and looks good!" The Five Poisons sachet was made of scraps made from dresses earlier. The fine silk and Ye Xinyi's embroidery skills are good. The Five Poisons embroidery is not scary, but it is also two-point cute. In addition, the five-color strands that are finely woven and linger on them, it really looks pretty.
