Chapter 280
To Ling Jingshu, this was an unmitigated disaster, and in her heart, she also developed some dissatisfaction and resentment towards Huang Taisun
-She had made her attitude clear a long time ago, never being ambiguous, much less ambiguous, and asked herself if there was anything that would cause him to misunderstand
He married Jiang Shuyue in a beautiful wedding ceremony, so he should respect and honor his wife, instead of lingering on her and embarrassing Jiang Shuyue in front of everyone
This move also pushed her into a predicament where she had no defense
She was full of grievances, but had nowhere to complain
Moreover, this kind of thing is the more you explain the less clear it is and the more you describe it, the darker it gets
The best way to deal with it is to turn a deaf ear and pretend not to know, waiting for this wave of rumors to spread, and then it will slowly calm down
Of course, this process will not be fast, at least have to stay up for a month or two
It was almost time for the peonies to bloom, and the hundreds of pots of peonies in the peony room needed to be carefully taken care of
She had to work in the peony room every day, and it was just the right time to avoid the flurry of rumors
Ling Jingshu thought bitterly while loosening the soil and trimming the branches and leaves of the peonies
Soon, her eyes fell on a pot of peonies
It was a pot of two-colored peony, also known as Luoyang Jin
There was indeed no lack of experts in growing peonies in the palace, and this kind of double-colored peony was very complicated to cultivate, to be cut and grafted and cultivated in August of the previous year
-After planting, it has to be carefully taken care of all the time, or else it will be hard to survive
Ling Jingshu had cultivated such a Luoyang brocade when she was in Dingzhou City, which could produce two colors of peonies on a single flower, with large flowers and bright colors, a rare treasure among peonies
I didn’t expect to see such a new peony after taking over the peony room, so I couldn’t help but favor it in my heart
These days, she took extra care of this Luoyang brocade
Loosening the soil, catching insects, pruning the branches and leaves, and moving them back and forth were all done by her own hands
This pot of Luoyang brocade growth is also really happy
The branches and leaves were green and flourishing, not to mention that the flower buds also bore five or six, and the buds were extraordinarily largeMistress Ling, it’s time to move these peonies out into the sun!
These rough jobs will be done by the slave girl, so Mistress Ling mustn’t do anything”
Hong Mei came over, smiling with an attentive face
It was human nature to praise the high and step on the low
Since the rumors spread in the palace, Hongmei’s attitude towards Ling Jingshu had become more and more warm
Ling Jingshu’s heart was a bit phobic, but her face didn’t show it, and she smiled faintly and said, “No need, these pots are rare treasures, and it looks like the flower season is coming up
Whether or not we can show up at the Flower Appreciation Banquet this year depends on how well these peonies bloom
-I’ll take care of them myself, and I won’t leave them to anyone else
You go out first and work with Bai Yu Qiaoyun to loosen the soil of those peonies outside”
Hongmei answered with a slight sarcasm
After Hong Mei left, Ling Jingshu quickly took out the porcelain bottle from the hidden pocket in her sleeve, carefully opened a few tiny buds, dripped in the potion one by one, and then capped the bottle and took it back to a faraway place
This series of movements was quick and sharp, and was completed in just a few breaths
In these few days, this porcelain bottle she had been hiding so close to her
Even Bai Yu didn’t know about it
After doing all this, Ling Jingshu was slightly relieved
In her heart, she secretly calculated the time
In another twenty days or so, these flower buds would grow and bloom
This bottle of potion would also be able to support the flowers until they bloomed
Just after putting away the porcelain bottle, Bai Yu hurriedly walked in, with some strange excitement in her expression, “Miss, just now a palace maid came over and talked about a novelty”
Ling Jingshu settled down and looked at Bai Yu with a smile, “Oh?
What novelty is it?”
Bai Yu laughed in a low voice, “I heard that it’s a palace maid in the Ling Bo Palace who has privately paired up with a chamberlain”
The chamberlain was a man who had been castrated, but any palace maid with a higher heart was not happy to pair-feed with a chamberlain
However, there were also some courtesans who were too lonely in the palace and privately paired up with a high status chamberlain
This kind of thing is actually not rare in the palace
Even if the master found out about it, he seldom asked about it
Ling Jingshu had been in the palace for a few months, and had grown quite a bit
Hearing this, she laughed unconcernedly, “This is not a rare thing, so why is it a big deal”
Bai Yu seemed to have some difficulty in speaking, her pretty face flushed red
Ling Jingshu’s curiosity was immediately piqued, “What’s going on?
Why did you stop talking halfway through?”
Bai Yu’s red face whispered, “This is also really too shameful, the slave girl is too embarrassed to open her mouth and say it”I heard that the palace maid is quite pretty and usually serves by the side of Auntie Jieyu
That chamberlain is also a dignified person in the Ling Bo Palace
The two of them often interact on weekdays, but no one thought much about it
I had no idea that last night, the chamberlain sneaked into the palace maid’s house, and the palace maid did some
Did some fake phoenix false phoenix thing, the sound of movement and was heard
Was caught in the act”
Bai Yu said more and more red face, voice is also lower and lower: “It is said to be found, the two people’s clothes are off most of the time, hugging, unbearable, want to deny also can not deny the past
After her majesty knew, she was very angry
Will two people each hit a board
This one beat down, at least also have to lie in bed for five or six days before getting out of bed”This kind of thing can’t be covered up even if you want to, no, it’s only half a day’s time, it’s spread”
Good things don’t go out the door, but bad things spread a thousand miles
Not to mention this kind of flavorful and flirtatious thing
Even Bai Yu, who had never been fond of gossip, couldn’t help but come to Ling Jingshu to talk about it after hearing about it
Ling Jingshu lost her smile for a few moments before admonishing, ”If this kind of thing spreads, it really isn’t nice to hear, and it also damages Aunt Jieyu’s face
It’s none of our business what others say
However, you and Qiaoyun shouldn’t follow the clouds”
Jieyu Wei had always treated her generously, they couldn’t follow and throw stones at her
Bai Yu busily smiled and responded, “That is, if Miss doesn’t command, the slave girl also knows the importance”
After a pause, she thankfully said, “The slave girl has been worried these days, the rumors about Miss are spreading, and I don’t know when they will stop
Fortunately, another incident like this has come out and attracted everyone’s attention”
Bai Yu’s thoughtless words, however, caused Ling Jingshu’s heart to stir
The rumors about her were in full swing, and then such a delightful “scandal” appeared in the Ling Bo Palace
In less than half a day, the rumor spread throughout the palace, drawing everyone’s attention to it
How in the world can there be such a coincidence?
Could it be that Wei Jieyu had secretly arranged this?
There was no better way to quell a rumor than to create another one that was even more sensational
What’s more, this was a peach-colored incident that was caught in the act
It was much more vivid than the speculation that Zi had no need to have
