In the outer room of Hou Men, she took advantage of her beauty to commit murder

Chapter 58

Beijing.

The side entrance of the Duke's Mansion.

Li Xingyi got off the horse, patted it on the head, and said with a smile, "What a flying cloud!"

Feiyun stepped on his feet, raised his head and hissed, as if in response.

Li Xingyi smiled even more happily, rubbed its big head for a while, and then led it towards the door.

Seeing this, Yuan An quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door. After knocking on the door, he walked aside and waited.

Seeing the black horse Feiyun being pulled by Li Xingyi, he looked at him twice more eagerly.

Sure enough, Feiyun immediately became unhappy, shook his long head towards him, and let out a mouthful of hot air.

Yuan An turned sideways skillfully, avoiding its mouth gasp, looking at Fei Yun who seemed to have a proud face, Yuan An smiled angrily, "Hey, Fei Yun, your temperament is as good as your ability, you rise with the wind!"

"Da da!"

Feiyun blew another breath at Yuan An, stepped on the floor twice, then tilted his head towards Li Xingyi, and breathed out again, as if to complain.

"Hey, you..." Seeing its shameless look, Yuan An's eyes widened and he was about to speak.

At this time, there was a movement from the door, and after a while, the door opened.

The porter stretched out his head, and when he saw Li Xingyi standing outside the door, he wiped his eyes twice in disbelief.

After confirming that it was really the Third Young Master, he exclaimed, "Third Young Master, you are back!"

Quickly opened the door and let him in.

Li Xingyi gave a "hmm", looked at the concierge Jin Fu, and asked casually, "Why are you on duty today?"

Jin Fu explained, "Man Fu is not feeling well these few days, so let the servant come to support him for a few days!" He scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

This is normal.

Li Xingyi nodded, pulled the horse and walked in.

Pull Feiyun back to the stable, feed it some horse grass, and then go to the backyard.

After being out for such a long time, of course I have to say hello to the old lady and my mother when I come back.

Fushouyuan.

The old lady was discussing with her three daughters-in-law, the eldest lady, the second lady, and the third lady, regarding the birthday of the third princess in thirteen days.

The birthday of the third princess is also her Jiji ceremony, which is regarded as one of the most important days in a girl's life, so of course one should be cautious.

As the maternal wife of the third princess, the Duke's Mansion naturally attaches great importance to her.

Looking at the eldest lady who was sitting in the first row on the left, the Duke and Old Madam smiled and said, "The third princess's birthday is very important to the empress, and I have already promised you to be the third princess and the guest of honor, so you have to get ready early! "

The eldest lady pursed her lips, nodded slightly towards the old lady, and said respectfully, "Yes!"

Looking at the dignified and generous eldest daughter-in-law, the old lady of the country nodded in satisfaction, "Yeah!"

He also reminded, "Although the hair extension ceremony is important, the birthday ceremony should not be forgotten. It should be prepared in advance and sent to the palace!"

The eldest lady nodded and chuckled, "The birthday presents from the juniors have been counted and put into storage, and my concubine is going to send a pot of red jade coral, which has also been put into storage. Now it's just the mother and the two sisters-in-law!"

Just waiting for this moment.

The second lady touched her bun, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "Since my sister-in-law has given me ruby ​​​​coral, I can't lag behind, so I will give you a set of ruby ​​​​jewelry!"

Jade is not cheap, even if it is the most common white jade jewelry, a whole set is worth a few hundred taels at least, and the red jade will only be more expensive. A few thousand taels.

Of course the old lady had no objection, she nodded, "Okay, you have a heart!"

The third wife smiled and said, "My eldest sister-in-law has given me ornaments, and my second sister-in-law has given me jewelry. Then I will give you a picture of peonies painted by Mr. Shan Yu himself!"

Mr. Shan Yu is a famous scholar. He became famous at a young age. He devoted his life to teaching and educating people, and his talents are all over the world.

He spent 20 years traveling throughout the mountains and rivers of Jingguo and wrote his masterpiece "Chronicles of Mountains and Rivers", which described the customs, customs, regional delicacies, etc. of various places in Jingguo from south to north and from west to east.

He was good at painting but rarely painted. He painted only a dozen times in his life. Peonies were the only landscapes among his calligraphy and paintings.

The other one is Huashan Green Pine, which was given to the emperor by Cen Xiang as a birthday gift five years ago. It is probably in the emperor's private treasury now!
"Yeah, I thought my gift was valuable, but I didn't expect that yours, Third Sister, was the most..." The second lady gave a thumbs up.

The third lady raised her lips and was about to speak.

The maid Luqi walked in quickly, bowed to everyone, and said respectfully, "Old lady, ladies, the third son is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xingyi strode in from outside.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the third lady, and she stood up quickly, "Third brother, when did you come back?"

Li Xingyi took the time to smile at the third lady, then walked to the old lady's seat, knelt down on both knees, and kowtowed to the old lady, "Grandson has seen grandma!"

The old lady stood up quickly, and when she saw that he knelt down without even using a tuft, she felt heartbroken and said repeatedly, "Silly boy, how can you kowtow like this? Get up, get up!"

Li Xingyi took advantage of the situation and stood up, then bowed his fists to the three wives present, and said respectfully, "Auntie, Auntie, Auntie, Mother!"

The eldest lady slightly raised her hand, "Third brother, don't be too polite!"

The second lady waved her hand, and the third lady looked at the old lady.

The old lady also waved her hand, "Okay, don't be so polite, you can sit down too!"

Li Xingyi sat down next to the third lady, looked at everyone present, and said with a smile, "What a good day it is today, why are both aunts here?"

The old lady smiled, "We are discussing the third princess's birthday gift, and your child is just in time to come back!"

Li Xingyi nodded, "It's just right. It's no wonder that I rushed here as soon as I walked in!"

The old lady laughed, "Hahaha, look at him, he is trying to coax me. He probably thought that if he had known there were so many people here, I would have come later!"

After understanding what the old lady meant, the eldest lady, second lady, and third lady couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

Everyone present didn't know this kid's previous experience, so he was annoyed to deal with women the most, and he didn't like women to be close to him the least.

Fortunately, these two aunts were good to him when he was a child, otherwise he probably wouldn't want to get close to him.

Looking at the laughing crowd, Li Xingyi smiled and remained silent.

Said he didn't understand!

After a lot of laughter, everyone calmed down when the little maid served tea to Li Xingyi.

The eldest lady smiled and said, "Didn't the third brother say that you are going to send a picture of flowers and peony for the third princess's birthday? The picture of flowers has been received, where is the peony?"

Li Xingyi shook his head, "I haven't found it yet. This good peony is so rare. I didn't forget to look for it when I was working, but I just couldn't find it!"

The second lady chuckled, "That's just a coincidence. In seven days, won't there be a flower climbing feast in Ling'an County? You can go and see it then!"

When she was in the boudoir, she often went to see the excitement. I have to say that the Flower Goddess Festival and Flower Climbing Banquet in Ling'an County were really exciting!

The eldest lady has obviously heard about the Panhua Banquet. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "It happens that you have been on errands for two months, and you have been busy for a long time. When you go to Ling'an County to find flowers, you can also relax by the way. This flower can be found Satisfied is the best, I can't find it, your Hundred Flowers Picture is not bad, it doesn't matter if you have flowers or not!"

The third lady also looked at Li Xingyi, "The third princess likes peonies the most, so you can go there, anyway, it's just a matter of chance, the important thing is your heart!"

Li Xingyi thought for a while, thought it made sense, nodded, "OK!"
