idle mistress

Chapter 106 The Biggest Chip
She forcibly suppressed the sadness in her heart, managed the expression on her face, took a step forward and said, "Your Highness, my lord."

Zhao Yan turned his head and saw that it was her, the tenderness on his face was fleeting.

He nodded slightly, and wanted to help the people around him in, but Xu Weiqiu forced himself to leave his arms. She nodded at Yang, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"Your Highness..." Seeing that the man wanted to follow, Yang quickly stopped him.

Zhao Yan looked back at her with a look of impatience on his face.

Yang said softly, "Your Highness, I have something to tell you."

"If you have anything to say, it's not too late to say it at the New Year's Eve dinner." The man left this sentence and walked across the threshold without looking back.

Yang looked at his back as he left in a hurry, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

She returned to the residence very lonely, and the youngest son, Zhao Yi, led a group of little kids rushing in from the back room. Seeing these kids playing around in front of her, Yang couldn't help but feel a headache.

She wished she could scream and drive out these annoying bastards, but she couldn't, she couldn't roar, she couldn't bark, and she couldn't show a hint of displeasure.

You know, this little prince is her biggest bargaining chip.

After she learned that the little prince was being raised in Princess Sheng's house, she ran to Princess Sheng's for a couple of days, trying her best to get close to him.

She knew that this was definitely a wise decision, her husband was outside the pass, so she could only use force on Xiao Shizi.

It took a lot of effort for her to gain the trust of this young man, she knew that Mrs. Xu often visited her son secretly, and showed his favor to this young man from time to time.

But in her inadvertent estrangement, the mother and son will only gradually drift away.

When she saw that the little prince refused to obey his discipline, she felt very happy in her heart.

Ten years have passed, and now I have finally brought my husband back. At this critical moment, I can't let my previous efforts go to waste because of a whim.

Thinking of the scene she saw just now in front of the palace, she was still eager to work hard.

As Zhao Yi grew up, he wasn't so playful anymore, but his little brothers and sisters liked to play with him, so he started playing hide-and-seek with them again.

Seeing that Mrs. Yang had a strange expression at this meeting, she couldn't help but stop, stepped forward and asked with concern: "Aunt Yang, what's wrong with you?"

Yang quickly raised the corners of her mouth: "Yi'er, my aunt has blown me outside, so I feel a little uncomfortable, why don't you take your younger brothers and sisters outside to play."

"Okay." Zhao Yi called out a group of children without saying a word.

Yang got quiet and began to dress up meticulously.

Today is the reunion festival, she must win the jackpot.

As expected, as soon as she appeared, she had amazed everyone, but the man she wanted to hunt was not included.

When she came to pay her respects, even Princess Sheng gave her a good reputation for her attire, but the King Ling who was sitting on the seat just nodded, without even keeping his eyes on him for a moment.

For so many years, she stayed alone in the vacant room, looked forward to the stars and the moon every day, and finally brought back her husband who was guarding the border.

For countless days and nights, she thought she would finally be able to wait for her husband's mercy, but after waiting, what she waited for was the news that he was staying in Xu's dormitory day and night.

Yang didn't believe it without seeing it with his own eyes.

For so many years, I have never heard of which one this man will favor, but the scene in front of the gate of the mansion in the evening made Yang completely panicked.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Princess Ling did not show up because of her illness. During the dinner, King Ling seemed absent-minded, and even got up and left the banquet before the dishes were served.

Looking at his figure leaving in a hurry, a chill came up from the bottom of Yang's feet.

"Sister, why don't you eat?" Yao looked at her with concern.

Yang turned her head and saw that Yao raised her head and drank a bowl of bird's nest soup, and said with a cold face:
"You look like you are reincarnated like a starving ghost. People who don't know see it and think that our mausoleum mansion is short of your food and your drink. It's shameful."

She is full of anger and has nowhere to vent, and she spits on everyone.

Yao shi didn't know that he didn't have long eyes to shoot at her. Although he knew that Yang shi looked down on him a little bit on weekdays, he was sprayed in the face when he cared about her in a good voice.

With a hot face and a cold butt, the good mood of the Chinese New Year disappeared immediately, and Yao's face was also pulled down.

Seeing that the faces of these two people were dark, Feng Shi was quite sensible, so she found an excuse, took a bowl and ran to sit on the other side.
-
the sixteenth day of the first lunar month
As soon as the sedan chair entered Shiba Hutong, the bearer stopped, and the maidservant in front of him shouted softly into the sedan chair: "Master, we have arrived."

Yang opened the curtain and got down from the sedan chair. Seeing a dirty alley, she couldn't help frowning:
"Why did you come to this kind of place? Didn't you go to the Gu family?"

"Master, this is the Gu family."

"Oh?" Yang looked around, and there was indeed a plaque with the word "Gu" hanging in front of the broken house not far away.

This Xu Xiaoke, who has received a lot of benefits from the Mausoleum Mansion on weekdays, is also very well dressed. She never imagined that she would live in such a ghostly place.

Yang rolled her eyes and snorted coldly: "If people know that the majestic King Ling's sister-in-law lives in such a crappy place, they must laugh their heads off."

While speaking, she raised her chin.

The maid would be sorry, Xiao Suibu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After knocking on the door ten times, someone inside answered, "Here we come!"

After a while, I heard movement inside, and the sound of people walking inside was also very strange. The master and servant waiting outside the door couldn't help but look at each other.

"Who?"

The door opened, and Xu Xiaoke poked her head out. Seeing Mrs. Yang standing outside the door, she couldn't help being stunned: "Sister Yang? Why are you here?"

While speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly stretched out his hand to cover his face, but it was too late.

Yang Shi saw that her left face was painted, and she was still holding a cane in her hand, so she immediately understood, no wonder she hasn't seen her in the palace for the past ten days, how dare she...

She exclaimed: "Oh, sister Xu, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Xiaoke showed embarrassment: "I accidentally fell and broke this leg, which made Sister Yang laugh."

The maid behind Yang couldn't help but tilt her head and cover her mouth and giggle. Isn't this talking nonsense with her eyes open?The leg could have been dropped, but the bruised and swollen palm print on the face couldn't have been the result of a fall, right?
Mrs. Yang glared at the maidservant behind her, and said, "Sister Xu, please don't invite me to sit in."

Only then did Xu Xiaoke come to her senses, and quickly invited the two of them in.

"Sister Yang, please wait a moment, I'm going to make tea..."

"Sister Xu, the tea is free. You..." Yang looked around, the outside was already shabby enough, but the inside was even more dilapidated.
