The concubine is poisonous, and the tyrant lifts the couch to meet her

It was already noon, and the members of Situ's family gathered in the old lady's yard for lunch. Most of the reasons for this were because King Mao came to Pingyang Hou's mansion as a guest, and the old lady liked this grandson very much, so the whole Everyone in Pingyang Hou's mansion gathered together for lunch, but Miss Situ's family did not appear.Shu Yan

The old lady asked the maids to remove the food from the table and asked them to prepare some fresh side dishes for Ruoxi until Ruoxi came to have lunch. I am proud of this granddaughter and dote on her very much.

Mrs. Situ got up, and Situ Yu, Marquis of Pingyang hurriedly called her: "Madam, what are you going to do?"

Mrs. Situ frowned and said, "Master Hou, it's already noon, but Ruoxi hasn't arrived at the old lady's place yet. I'm afraid something happened to her, so I want to go and have a look."

"Ma'am, this is the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and the mansion is heavily guarded, so nothing will happen to Ruoxi."

The eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Shi, and the third daughter-in-law, Lu Shi, looked at each other, and they rushed to persuade Mrs. Situ.

Wang's face was more gentle and charming, she smiled softly, "Mother, father is right, you should just sit here and wait for Ruoxi to come!"

"That's right, what my mother and sister-in-law said is right, not to mention how heavily guarded the Pingyang Hou Mansion is, but just how smart our sister-in-law is, so nothing will happen to her." Lu's smile was as bright as the sun. Lively and understanding.

Mrs. Situ saw that her two daughter-in-laws were so considerate, and she also felt very warm, so she simply sat down and said calmly: "Then wait for her here a little longer. The road to stardom!" It is Yang from the family.

Sitting beside the old lady, Li Mao lowered his beautiful eyes like black pearls, thinking that Ruoxi misunderstood him as a son of another family last night, and he didn't tell her his real identity, but It made Ruoxi unhappy, that's why she didn't come to see him in the old lady's yard.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly wanted to stand up and go to Lin Ruoxi's yard to explain to her clearly, but the moment he stood up, a white dress like snow and a face like a fairy came from outside the old lady's yard. beauty.

She was wearing a pleated skirt with a white tube top and waist, and there was a handmade pink peony flower on her left breast. There is a white belt inlaid with 99 white pearls around the waist, and the skirt of the pleated skirt is trimmed with silver thread painted with pink spice, because the spice has not completely painted the silver thread, revealing mottled light. These dots of light on the silver thread shone brightly and softly like moonlight in the sunlight, making people so curious that they couldn't move their eyes after just one glance.And on her wrist, she was holding a white cloud armband embroidered with peach petals, which looked like she was floating in the air.

This attire alone is enough to attract the eyes of everyone in Pingyang Hou's mansion, and looking at her appearance, it is even more overwhelming, as if she is a fairy who does not eat fireworks.

Even a prince like Li Mao who has experienced countless beauties becomes infatuated when he sees Lin Ruoxi. No matter how many beauties there are in the southern border country, no one can compare to the fresh and bright makeup in front of him. Lin Ruoxi felt refreshed.

Lin Ruoxi slowly walked into their line of sight, and first greeted the old lady.

The old lady was the first to react, and said with a smile: "Let me just say, there are only two most beautiful beauties in our Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and they are the two most beautiful beauties in Southern Xinjiang."

Everyone couldn't help looking at the old lady curiously. Lin Ruoxi knew who the old lady was going to praise, but she pretended not to know and asked, "Old lady, who are these two people?"

"Of course it's Ruoxi, you and me, the old woman, when we were young."

If it is said that Lin Ruoxi is a beauty in the Southern Border Kingdom, everyone will believe it when they see it, but when the old lady suddenly mentions her appearance when she was young, these people will look at the old lady incredulously, only Situ Yu can't help but laugh helplessly: "Mother was indeed The number one beauty in Southern Borderland, I can testify to that." 16434188

When he said this, the old lady nodded in satisfaction, and made a shy look of a delicate little girl: "I am also beautiful now, aren't I?" These people who provoked like children couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing, this old lady, it's really interesting.

The Pingyang Marquis Mansion was full of excitement again, until Lin Ruoxi and Li Mao left and sat in the carriage to go to the banquet, the laughter in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion died down.

Because Mrs. Situ was worried that Lin Ruoxi would go alone to the banquet held by Princess Lingyun in the mansion outside the palace, she sent Situ Zhan, the fourth son of the Situ family. Sitting opposite Li Mao, he just had a smile on his face, but he didn't say much, obviously embarrassed, he coughed lightly: "It's almost the end of spring, it's starting to heat up these days, Ruoxi You are sitting in the carriage with Cousin Maowang, and I still feel refreshed from riding a horse, so I won’t share a carriage with you.”

When Situ Zhan said this, Li Mao felt embarrassed and wanted to get up, but Situ Zhan forced him to the seat of the carriage: "His Royal Highness Mao, I have prepared a horse outside, and we two big men will ride on it." I'm afraid a horse is not right? Besides, it's stuffy and hot in the carriage, and I don't intend to let you ride the horse!"

After Situ Zhan finished speaking, with a suspicious smile on his handsome face, he turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage and walked out of the carriage.

Li Mao and Lin Ruoxi are both very clear in their hearts, knowing that this is Situ Zhan creating an opportunity for them to be alone. Although Li Mao thinks so and is willing to do so, Lin Ruoxi already has Tuobatian in her heart. She was still a little distressed about other people's bridging and leading.

Seeing that Lin Ruoxi just lowered her beautiful eyes and looked thoughtful, Li Mao felt that it was not good to be so embarrassed, and he had to untie the knot between them, so that they could face each other calmly and reconcile as before.

He smiled warmly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. His appearance was elegant and handsome, and he was peerless: "Cousin Ruoxi, what happened last night was all my cousin's fault. If my cousin had reminded you earlier, you wouldn't have recognized me as a Others." 16xhy.

Lin Ruoxi raised her eyes and smiled slightly at Li Mao, with warmth like sunshine in her smile: "Cousin Mao, it's all because Ruoxi played the piano too much last night, so she lost her composure, here Ruoxi I also want to say a word of humility to my cousin."

Seeing that Lin Ruoxi didn't have any previous suspicions with him, Li Mao smiled heartily and said, "Since cousin Ruoxi is so big-hearted, naturally I won't remember what happened yesterday." Li Mao is a smart man , he knew that if he kept talking about what happened last night, it would bring discomfort instead, so he hurriedly changed the subject and said: "I heard that Princess Lingyun is going to hold a lantern riddle contest in the mansion, but the night has not yet arrived, and everywhere is bright. I don't know what Princess Lingyun should do to hold this lantern riddle contest properly?"

Lin Ruoxi thought for a while, and said with a smile: "She is going to hold a lantern riddle contest in the afternoon, I don't think she will choose to be in the room, although the door of the room is closed and there is no candle light, it will be darker, but so many With all the distinguished guests gathered together, how big is the room to accommodate so many people? Thinking about it this way, she will definitely choose to hold the lantern riddle contest in the outer courtyard."

Although Li Mao felt that what Lin Ruoxi said was reasonable, he still had doubts: "Then there is still plenty of sunlight in the afternoon, so we can't light the lamps at all. Should we just look at the crossword puzzles on the unlit paper lanterns? Then how about this?" It's too boring."

Lin Ruoxi shook her head and said: "Princess Lingyun is a well-known woman with both civil and military skills. She must have a good way to guess lantern riddles in a refreshing way, right? Cousin Mao Wang, we should not be here It’s a random guess, don’t you know if you go and have a look?”

Li Mao nodded with a smile, the smile on his lips was as warm as sunshine.

The Situ family's carriage drove for more than an hour before arriving at the mansion that Princess Lingyun bought outside the palace. Lin Ruoxi and King Mao got off the carriage, and Situ Zhan deliberately bumped Li Mao's arm lightly with his arm. He asked in a low voice, "How is your chat with my little sister?"

King Mao smiled all over his face, but he said one word: "Not bad!"

Situ Zhan was secretly happy in his heart, as long as it wasn't bad, this is a good-looking talent of His Majesty King Mao, if the younger sister married him, it would be a good destination.

Lin Ruoxi and King Mao showed the invitation letter. When the housekeeper of Princess Lingyun's mansion saw these two distinguished guests coming, he bowed quickly and enthusiastically invited Lin Ruoxi and King Mao into the mansion.

While the steward was leading the way, Lin Ruoxi took a look at the scenery in the princess mansion, and it was indeed fresh and unique, with natural scenery everywhere, especially the layout of the rockery and the surrounding water, which looked like a house on the water.

She couldn't help becoming somewhat interested in this Princess Lingyun, and wanted to see her face.

The housekeeper led Lin Ruoxi and Li Mao to a wooden shed in the compound. There were vines climbing on the wooden shed, a piece of fresh green, comfortable to look at, not dazzling.

Under the wooden shed hall, male and female guests were seated separately. As soon as Lin Ruoxi walked into the wooden shed, she immediately attracted everyone's eyes. Whether it was a daughter of a thousand gold or a son of a famous family, they were all deeply admired by her appearance and clothes. .

After Lin Ruoxi took her seat, these young ladies and famous young men began to discuss in whispers.

Sitting opposite Lin Ruoxi, Li Mao nodded and smiled at her, and Lin Ruoxi responded with a gentle smile,

At this moment, a woman in a pink dress and a bright red veil broke into everyone's sight, and the woman in the pink dress walked from the end of the hall to the front with graceful steps until she passed by Lin Ruoxi. When she was beside her, the hairpin on her head suddenly fell and fell on Lin Ruoxi's skirt.

Lin Ruoxi felt something was wrong, so she hurriedly leaned her body behind her—is she the Princess Lingyun of Southern Border Kingdom?
