The female supporting role never believes in fate

Chapter 53
Seeing that after he had finished speaking, Cheng Yuguan still had a dull expression, without any change, Cheng Yulou became more and more direct as he spoke.

"Big sister, do you know why you are so arrogant? Because others don't bother to care about you, because in their eyes, you are just a poor orphan girl, that's all. But people won't be pitiful because of you, there is no limit Tolerate you. If you continue to be so straightforward in the future, one day you will be disgusted by the empress and everyone. Do you think that others hate hypocrisy and love your frankness? No. They will only alienate you, because your straightforwardness makes you It's awkward and uncomfortable to get along with people. When you are rejected by everyone, what capital do you have to be so arrogant?"

"Not to mention the Huo family, even the empress, there have been many noble girls who have hit it off very well over the years. You are not the only one."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yulou's face showed joy, "That's why I was also kind, so I advised my elder sister to learn to be more tactful as soon as possible, and make more friends, so that one day you will not be loved by the empress, and the Huo family will be close. When you are left as an adopted daughter, you will still be bullied by two vulgar sister-in-laws!"

Obviously, when Cheng Yulou was in the lobby, he looked down on the "sister-in-law" from the two ancestral lands of the Cheng family very much. The smile just now was just acting again.

When Cheng Yuguan heard Cheng Yulou's words, he sighed, "It seems that in the past two years since I left Beijing, you have done a lot of tricks."

Cheng Yulou was all smiles, neither admitting nor denying it.

This is the backyard of Cheng's family. Although it is by the pond and there is no one around, Cheng Yulou will not let him leave any excuses.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuguan stopped asking, but looked at Cheng Yulou sincerely, "Why do you and your mother keep chasing me?"

Cheng Yuguan asked casually, but his eyes were fixed on Cheng Yulou's reaction.

Cheng Yulou's eyes shrank, but he still smiled, "Sister, stop joking."

Cheng Yuguan shrugged, and she knew that it was a waste of time to talk to Cheng Yulou without getting any effective information.

Two people, you say yours and I say mine, neither will be fooled by the other at will, nor will they be changed by the other's words in a few words.

Since the positions have always been aimed at each other, what is the need for communication?Do you give her a chance to offend her verbally, and you listen obediently?

Cheng Yuguan turned around, Cheng Yulou also stepped forward, the two passed shoulder to shoulder, but Qinghe and Liuyun looked at each other without admitting defeat, trying to kill each other with their eyes.

Therefore, people who don't deal with each other are naturally at odds with each other, and even the maids who meet for the first time will confront each other.

"Miss, that Miss Yulou looks gloomy. She was born in the same mold as her mother Yang. She is not a good person. You should pay less attention to her in the future. The mother and daughter are just messing around with the people in our village." Like a house spirit, as long as it gets on it, it will kill you."

Liu Yun gritted his teeth, but Cheng Yuguan became interested.

"Oh, then how did you deal with the troublemakers in your village in the end?"

Liu Yun clenched his fists tightly, "Of course we hit them once we see each other, and we won't give them a chance to speak! Otherwise, they will hook up with someone to help them, no matter if it's a man or a woman!"

Cheng Yuguan laughed when he heard this, "The method in your village is simple and effective."

Because of the family banquet, everyone in the Cheng family came back early and got together relatively neatly. Even the father who was on duty in the palace all day asked for leave early to go home. In the evening, the Cheng family had a rare gathering together.

"Mother, this Miss Cheng Yulou really deserves to be the most talented woman in the capital. Her appearance and temperament are really extraordinary. She also said that the Shuo Ri Poetry Club invites our family to participate. The poetry club is reserved in the Qingfeng Building, and there will be no time to wait." Two silver coins, but dare not enter!"

After Qian's tsk-tsk complimented Cheng Yulou, she realized that the atmosphere at the dinner table was not right. The second child, Cheng Jue, even took a look at Cheng Yuguan, and quickly pulled his wife's arm.

"Why are you dragging me? Am I wrong? Miss Yulou, I'm not the only one who praises her well, everyone says that!"

Mrs. Qian was born in a powerful family in the north, she is used to carelessness, and doesn't like to look at people's faces.

Sister-in-law Zhao watched everyone's expressions with stealthy eyes, and she had a new opinion about the status of Cheng Yuguan, the "cheap sister-in-law" in the family.

Seeing that the second elder brother was being nagged by the second sister-in-law, Cheng Lang couldn't help but said, "Cheng Yulou was born on the same day as our little sister in the same year, and since she was born, she has been given the horoscope of Wang's family by the Yang family, and she goes around talking about little sisters." My younger sister was married and sent to the ancestral land. Later, because of the marriage contract of the queen empress, they made them very specific to the younger sister. After all, the younger sister's marriage contract is the fourth prince, and their goal is the fifth prince. It is impossible for the two sisters of this family to be both Marry the prince? Then Cheng Yulou has worked hard to build his reputation all these years to marry into the royal family? Therefore, the younger sister and Cheng Yulou are natural enemies. Second sister-in-law, don’t say hello to Cheng Yulou in the future, I can’t hear you.”

Younger uncle Cheng Lang spoke, but Qian had no choice but to shut up reluctantly.

Sister-in-law Zhao came out to smooth things over at this moment, "Okay, those who don't know are not to blame, let's eat! Little sister, don't take it to heart, your second sister-in-law has always had no intentions!"

Mrs. Zhao brought food to Cheng Yuguan, Cheng Yuguan smiled and didn't say much.It feels so good to have someone backing you up.You don't have to say embarrassing things yourself, someone else will stand up for you.

Cheng Yuguan liked this feeling the most.Therefore, she can forgive the third brother's occasional blind eyes.

"Third brother, eat meat!"

Cheng Yuguan didn't say anything, but gave Cheng Lang a piece of meat, his attitude was unmistakable. Seeing this, Qian curled his lips and didn't say any more.

...

Early the next morning, Cheng Yuguan entered the palace as scheduled.

She had handed over her sign a long time ago, but the palace was busy at the end of the month, so she made an appointment on the first day of the new moon.

Here, Cheng Yuguan's carriage enters the palace, and Cheng Yulou's Qingfenglou poetry meeting begins as scheduled.

Young people, big and small, gathered in Qingfeng Building as agreed, including Cheng Lang who had just returned to Beijing.

"Qi Yang, is this what you said, the most lively scene in Beijing? Is it the association and poetry?"

Cheng Lang and Qi Yang, the son of his father's colleague, hit it off right away, and today they made an appointment to join in the fun.

Seeing Qingfeng Building from a distance, Cheng Lang was a little discouraged when he remembered what his second sister-in-law said yesterday.

This is a poetry club organized by Cheng Yulou, he is the third brother of my younger sister, how can he come to join in the fun?

At that moment, Cheng Lang stopped, not wanting to get closer, "Poetry is boring, you go, I'll go out of the city and ride a horse."

Unexpectedly, Qi Yang let out a "tss", and looked back at Cheng Lang with sideways eyes, "Still composing poems? Do you know how to do it or do I do?"

Hearing Qi Yang's choking, Cheng Lang paused, but was still unwilling to go in.

Qi Yang gave Cheng Lang a push, took out the post from his arms, and signaled to the guy at the door, and the two were able to enter the Qingfeng Building.

After entering, Qi Yang dragged Cheng Lang to the private room on the third floor, while explaining to Cheng Lang, "Go quickly, the number of private rooms on the third floor is limited, if you get there late, you won't be able to get a reservation, so you won't be able to see it?"

Cheng Lang has a youthful heart, he was caught and dragged by his friends so much, he half pushed and half followed, and after hearing what Qi Yang said, he asked curiously, "Why do you have to go to the third floor?"

Qi Yang walked up quickly, and complained, "You bumpkin, don't you understand? Xiaohe Poetry Club, that covers the most talented and beautiful families in the whole capital. On weekdays, where else can you get together except for the Queen's Palace Banquet? Gathering so many people? You are not young anymore, should you get engaged? My buddy brought you here, so you can have fun secretly!"

Hearing this, Cheng Lang immediately gave up struggling and took a leap to overtake Qi Yang, "You are walking so slowly, you are embroidering flowers!"

Finally, with the help of Cheng Lang's long legs, Cheng Lang and Qi Yang finally grabbed the closest box with the best view.

At the cross staircase from the second floor to the third floor, in the past, the oiran used to perform performances on the small stage where the main characters of the opera troupe appeared. At this moment, the famous noble women and talents in Beijing gathered, all of them were dressed in brocade and colorful clothes, full of flowers.

Among them, the familiar figure of Cheng Yulou imprinted in Cheng Lang's eyes.

Seeing Cheng Yulou being surrounded by all the noble girls, feeling a bit like a "leader of the literary world", Cheng Lang couldn't help complaining, "There are two brushes!"

Qi Yang was puzzled, "Who are you talking about? Is the oiran sister Peony? The one in red is Peony. How about it, isn't it beautiful?"

Obviously, the reason Qi Yang told Cheng Lang just now is just an excuse, his purpose is to come up to appreciate beauties, beauties with literary talents.

...

Cheng Lang was in the Qingfeng Building to watch poetry and form a club, but Cheng Yuguan was in the palace at this time.

"Don't be rude, come here!"

Before Cheng Yuguan saluted, he was greeted by the queen's aunt.

Looking at the girl who had become a half-adult, the empress's phoenix eyes flickered, "Okay, she looks really good. You look taller than two years ago, right? Why don't you feel that your feet are not long? Can you walk steadily? It is said that the mountains and rivers in the south support people, why don’t you see that you are a little fatter, and you are thinner than two years ago?"

The empress pulled Cheng Yuguan and looked him up and down.

Mei Ling, who is now a grand maid, couldn't laugh or cry, "Ms. Yuguan, you see Miss Yuguan must be uncomfortable. Besides, Miss Yuguan is thin and thin. I think Miss Yuguan walks very steadily!"

The queen laughed after hearing Mei Ling's words, and pulled Cheng Yuguan to sit down, "I'm just waiting for a while. Yuguan will come to the palace this time, and he will accompany me for a few days before going back. It's just two days later. June Festival, just go back after the festival!"

Faced with the empress's aunt's enthusiasm, Cheng Yuguan could only nod, "Listen to you."

Hearing Cheng Yuguan's promise, the queen was happy, but she still nodded at Cheng Yuguan, "You, tricky. You always pretend to be cute about this little thing. Listen to me. I wrote to ask you to come back earlier. Why don't you listen? ? If Mianer didn’t happen to go to Jingzhou this time, I don’t know how long you will delay it!”

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, at this time, there happened to be a report from the little maid, and the fourth prince arrived!
"Queen! Yuguan!"

Li Mian stepped into the main hall, bowed his hands and saluted, then greeted Cheng Yuguan.

Cheng Yuguan wanted to stand up and return the salute, but was held back by the queen, "Your fourth brother is all of us, so there is no need to be formal."

"Our mother and I haven't spoken yet, why are you here?"

The queen looked at Li Mian, and said with complaints.

Mei Ling laughed secretly when she heard this. With Miss Yuguan, the fourth prince was back with the queen.

Li Mian sat on an armchair on one side, smoothed his outer robe leisurely, and said slowly, "Yuguan enters the palace, how can I, the fourth brother, not show up? And Ninghui Palace has recently collected many Shao Shipu, I think Yuguan also wants to see it very much. I happen to have time, so I will take her to see it. You want to reminisce about the old days, and you have plenty of time to reminisce. Wouldn’t it be better for the two of you to talk privately in the dead of night? good?"

Li Mian said "women's private talk" without any embarrassment on the face, and said it very naturally.

The Empress actually really thought about it carefully, "You are right, Yuguan is almost reaching her age now, and she cannot be deceived by ordinary wild boys. Yuguaner, go to Ninghui Hall to read first, and Auntie will give it to you." Find out the booklet of words that my mother collected for me back then, and let's read it together at night. You are the most innocent child, don't really be fooled by some guys with human faces and animal skins."

As she said that, the Empress seemed to have made up her mind, she quickly waved her hand and asked Mei Ling to find a dowry booklet for herself.

Cheng Yuguan just felt embarrassed, the mother and son really didn't avoid people when talking, forget it, she'd better go out first, come back to talk to her aunt at night, and take a look at the brochure that the queen treasured, what exactly is it.

"Auntie, I'll go to the Ninghui Hall first, and I'll accompany you later."

The queen waved her hand, "Go, be more comfortable in the palace, this is your home too."

Saying that, he looked at Li Mian again, "Take Yuguan well, and see how I punish you like last time!"

Li Mian bid farewell, "Don't worry!"

After the two went out, the spacious and pillarless hall instantly became quiet, and the queen sat quietly on the stage, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, Mei Ling came over to report, "Your Majesty, your dowry booklet is not in the box, has it been received in the warehouse? I will open the warehouse and look for it for you."

The queen waved her hand, "It's okay, don't rush to use it. When you find it, count when it's found. And even if you can't find it, Yuguan may not be needed."

Mei Ling was puzzled, "Miss Yuguan is really temperamental, aren't you always afraid that she will be cheated by others? Why is it suddenly no longer needed?"

The queen looked at the entrance of the main hall, and said leisurely, "My son, is no more useful than any booklet? With him watching, who can deceive Yuguan?"

Mei Ling was puzzled, the queen looked at Mei Ling's expression and suddenly smiled, "Okay, go and fan me, I'll sleep for a while, and at night, I have to find out for my kid. This kid, really Asking for trouble. I knew today, so why bother."

The queen's words made Mei Ling even more puzzled, "Fourth prince? The fourth prince is smart and capable, and now he is valued more and more by His Majesty. Is your empress being too harsh on His Majesty?"

When two people talked, the lips of the donkey did not match the mouth of the horse, and the queen had no intention of explaining.

Knowing a child is like a mother, she can guess his son's mind with just a single look of his eyes, but others are obedient and listen to the sound, and it is normal if they can't guess his son's mind.

With the intention of keeping her son a secret, the empress lay down on the couch with a smile and a mysterious expression on her face.

Mei Ling has never been the kind who is slick and slick. Now she has become the first lady of Fengyi Palace because of her loyalty.

Seeing that she couldn't figure out what the empress was thinking, Mei Ling no longer tried to be foolish, but instead picked up the fan and fanned the empress.
