Chapter 280 Rumors 2

For Ling Jingshu, this was an unreasonable disaster, and she also felt a little dissatisfied and resentful towards the emperor's grandson.

She had already made her attitude clear. She had never been vague or ambiguous. She asked herself that there was nothing he could misunderstand.

He had a grand wedding and married Jiang Rongyue. He should respect and love his wife, instead of being nostalgic for her and embarrassing Jiang Rongyue in front of everyone.

This move also pushed her into a dilemma where she could not argue.

She was full of grievances, but had nowhere to turn.

Moreover, this kind of thing becomes more and more unclear the more it is explained, and the darker it becomes. The best way to deal with it is to turn a deaf ear and pretend not to know. Wait for this wave of rumors to pass and they will slowly calm down.

Of course, this process will not be quick, it will take at least a month or two...

The peony flowering season is coming soon, and the hundreds of pots of peonies in the peony room need to be carefully taken care of. She has to work in the peony room every day, which is just in time to avoid the rumors.

Ling Jingshu thought happily while loosening the soil and pruning the branches and leaves of the peony.

Soon, her eyes fell on a pot of peonies.

This is a pot of two-color peony, also known as Luoyang Brocade.

There is indeed no shortage of experts in growing peonies in the palace. It is very complicated to cultivate this kind of multi-color peonies, which need to be cultivated by pruning and grafting in August of the previous year. After planting, you must always take good care of it, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.

Ling Jingshu once cultivated such a Luoyang brocade when she was in Dingzhou City. One flower can produce two-color peonies. The flowers are huge and bright in color. It is a rare treasure among peonies. I didn’t expect that after taking over the peony room, I would see such new peonies again, and I couldn’t help but feel a little partial to them.

These days, she has taken special care of this pot of Luoyang Brocade. Loose soil, catch insects, prune branches and leaves, and move them back and forth all by hand.

The growth of this pot of Luoyang brocade is really gratifying. Not only the branches and leaves are green and lush, but there are also five or six flower buds, and the flower buds are particularly large.

"Mr. Ling, it's time to move these pots of peonies out to bask in the sun! These menial tasks will be done by slaves, so Mg. Ling must not do anything." Hongmei came over and smiled with an attentive look on her face.

It's human nature to hold high people in high esteem and put low pressure on people who are low. Since the rumors spread in the palace, Hongmei's attitude towards Ling Jingshu has become increasingly warm.

Ling Jingshu felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled lightly and said: "No need, these pots are rare treasures, and the flowering period is coming soon. Whether she can show up at the flower viewing banquet this year depends on How are these pots of peonies blooming? I want to take care of them myself, without any help. You go out first and loosen the soil of the peonies outside with Bai Yu Qiaoyun."

Hongmei responded slightly sarcastically.

After Hongmei left, Ling Jingshu quickly took out the porcelain bottle from the hidden pocket in her sleeve, carefully opened a few small flower buds, poured the potion one by one, then closed the bottle and put it away.

This series of movements is quick and sharp, completed in just a few breaths.

Over the past few days, she has been hiding this porcelain bottle so close to her body. Even Bai Yu doesn't know.

After doing all this, Ling Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief. I secretly counted the days in my heart. In more than twenty days, these buds will grow and bloom. This bottle of potion is also just enough to last until the flowers bloom.

As soon as he put away the porcelain vase, Bai Yu hurried in, with a strangely excited look on his face: "Miss, a palace maid came over just now and talked about a new thing."

Ling Jingshu composed herself and looked at Bai Yu with a smile: "Oh? What's this new thing?"

Bai Yu laughed softly and said: "I heard that a palace maid in Lingbo Palace had a secret affair with a chamberlain."

The chamberlain is a man who has been castrated, but any court lady with a higher temperament is not willing to eat with the chamberlain. However, there are also some palace ladies who find it unbearable to be lonely in the palace, so they eat in pairs with high-status chamberlains in private.

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon in the palace. Even if the master discovers it, he rarely asks.

Ling Jingshu stayed in the palace for several months and gained a lot of "knowledge". Hearing this, he smiled nonchalantly and said, "This is not a strange thing, why is it such a big fuss?"

Bai Yu seemed a little embarrassed to speak, and her pretty face turned red.

Ling Jingshu's curiosity was suddenly piqued: "What's going on? Why did you stop talking in the middle of the sentence?"

Bai Yu blushed and whispered: "This is so embarrassing that I'm too embarrassed to open my mouth to say it."

"I heard that the palace maid is quite handsome, and she usually serves Empress Jieyu. The chamberlain is also a well-known person in Lingbo Palace. The two of them interact with each other on a daily basis, but no one thinks too much about it. I never thought about it. , last night, the chamberlain sneaked into the palace maid's room and did something... did some fake things with the palace maid, and the sound was heard again. ”

Bai Yu's face turned redder as she spoke, and her voice became lower and lower: "It is said that when they were discovered, both of them had taken off most of their clothes and were hugging each other. It was so unsightly that they couldn't deny it even if they wanted to. Empress Jieyu knew it. After that, he was very angry and beat the two of them so hard that they would have to stay in bed for at least five or six days before they could get out of bed.

"You can't hide this kind of thing even if you want to. No, it only took half a day for it to spread."

…Good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. What's more, it's such a sexy and romantic thing.

Even Bai Yu, who never liked gossip, couldn't help but talk to Ling Jingshu after hearing this.

Ling Jingshu laughed for a moment, then warned: "It's really not nice to spread this kind of thing, and it will also damage the face of the Concubine. We don't care what others say. But you and Qiaoyun should not follow the crowd."

Concubine Wei has always treated her kindly, and they can't follow suit.

Bai Yu hurriedly smiled and replied: "Even if the young lady doesn't order, I know the importance of it."

After a pause, she said with great relief: "I have been worried these days. The rumors about the young lady are spreading like wildfire, and I don't know when they will stop. Fortunately, this incident has happened again, attracting everyone's attention."

Bai Yu's unintentional words made Ling Jingshu's heart move.

The rumors about her were spreading, and such a "scandal" that people talked about with relish emerged in Lingbo Palace. In less than half a day, it spread throughout the palace and attracted everyone's attention.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Could it be that Concubine Wei arranged this in secret?

The best way to quell a rumor is to create another more sensational rumor. Moreover, this is a romantic affair that was caught by people with their own eyes. It is much more vivid than the unnecessary speculation.
