Fair Lady

Not only did the House of the Two Marquises not get down on the ground, but it became more powerful, and the light blinded everyone.It's a pity that jealousy doesn't come, I can only be thankful that I didn't lose my head in those two days, and followed the book.

The emperor was very interested, and suddenly proposed to go hunting in the paddock, and the time was set on the tenth day of the first lunar month.Jin Xida is his "best friend" and Shu Jie is the leader of his first-rank guards with swords, so they naturally want to go with them.

Because the emperor wanted to see Xiaoguai's majesty, but Xiaoguai would only follow the instructions of the three Shujie brothers and sisters.The emperor didn't even think about it, so he asked Shuwen to bring the two spirit beasts to follow. He knew that Shuwen often took Xiao Guai to Yundu Mountain to hunt.

The fourth princess was not happy anymore, and she wanted to go together, saying that Xiaoguai and Huohuo could play with her, so she also wanted to pull Princess Yue and Shuyao to follow.

Apart from Baoyu and Zhuyu, the four princesses are the emperor's favorite. In addition, he is really in a good mood these past few days, so he waved his hand: "Okay, take the three of you." Anyway, it's just in the paddock, and there is no danger , Let the guards guard it.

Everyone was dumbfounded, no girls had ever entered the paddock, now the emperor wants to take three little girls there?But after thinking about it, I was relieved. These three can be said to be the most "expensive" girls in the whole week, right?You must know that it is useless to have a high professional status, you have to be favored.An unfavored princess is not as good as a princess, and an unfavored princess is not as good as a girl from a favorite minister's family.

On the ninth day of the lunar new year, a woman in charge of the Lianghou Mansion brought a gift to Prince Yong's Mansion: "Our girl has a long-standing appointment with Princess Yue and the Fourth Princess, so I can't come over tomorrow to congratulate you. Forgive me, Miss. This is a gift from our girl. May you be like a flower every year, and like a jade every year."

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she didn't care about the ugly faces of Concubine Zhao and Qi Yuexin, she bowed and said goodbye in a neither humble nor overbearing way.

Concubine Zhao's face was livid, this Xia Shuyao was too arrogant, she didn't take their mother and daughter seriously.However, she also knew that Xia Shuyao's presence or absence at Qi Yuexin's birthday banquet would not cause any criticism.If she appears, people will say she can be a human being.If it doesn't show up, people think it's normal.

Status, damn status, she voluntarily became the concubine because she believed that she would be able to win the position of concubine, she was many times stronger than that weak and useless cousin.How could she think.Cousin has been dead for so many years, and she is still a side concubine.Now, the cousin's prospective daughter-in-law is going to climb on her head again.

I thought that Xia Shuyao had just gotten married not long after all, and Qi Haoning was not in the capital, so he was a bit scrupulous, and would make this trip as a pretense.did not expect……

Qi Yuexin was so angry that she opened the brocade box, grabbed the contents and threw them out.She froze the moment the thing was out of her hand, but unfortunately... There was a muffled bang, and the thing in her hand flew out and landed on the ground. Even though the ground was covered with a thick felt blanket, the beautiful glazed walker still broke Fortunately, only the hairpin was broken in two, and the peacock screen was not broken.

Qi Yuexin ran over to have a look.It was really the glazed peacock Bu Yao that she had longed for for a long time, even brighter and more beautiful than the one on Princess Yan's head.Because it is inlaid with several small but very bright diamonds.

Qi Yuexin was about to go crazy, she pulled the maid who was holding the brocade box and slapped her across the face: "Why didn't you stop me? Why didn't you tell me what's in the box?" She had always longed for a step-by-step marriage like this. I used it when I got it, but now I got it, but I broke it with my own hands.

This scene happened to be seen by the maid and the two little maids who came through the door. The maid gave Qi Yuexin a disdainful look, and instructed the little maid to put down the four-color birthday gift and left.He also "talked to himself": "Miss Yao is really generous, but it's a pity...it's not worth it."

This maid came from the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The Empress Dowager has too many grandchildren, but few of them are really close. It is impossible to specially prepare birthday celebrations for everyone, so a nurse in charge was set up to record On the birthdays of all the grandchildren (regardless of the descendants of the concubine), the same four-color birthday gift will be sent uniformly to show your heart, and it is usually delivered the day before the birthday.

The gifts vary from year to year, but the gifts are the same for all, and of course there are separate gifts for those who are favored.

When Gong Nai arrived, she knew that the mother-in-law of the Two Marquis Mansion was inside and brought Miss Yao a gift, so she waited outside for a while, but she didn't expect to see Qi Yuexin throwing the gift when she stepped in.

Concubine Zhao, who came back to her senses, was about to stop the maid and bribe her to gag her, but she had already gone out, and Concubine Zhao and Qi Yuexin were so angry that they scolded the two maids guarding outside the hall.The servant girl replied innocently: "We have already reported it." It's just that the mother and daughter were angry and didn't hear it.

Mother Zhao sighed: "Master, girl, it's better to put away this step, and find an old jade craftsman to see if it can be repaired. I have seen someone's colored glass hairpin before it was broken. Use gold or silver Put it on, it looks pretty good." If you didn't get bumped by the maid, at most you can hide this step and don't wear it.But now, once the maid spreads the word, or mentions it in front of the Queen Mother, Qi Yuexin will be very embarrassed.

Now I can only find someone to set it up, and then find a place where there are many people to wear it as soon as possible, and then "casually" say that I was careless, accidentally broke it, and fortunately it can be repaired.

Concubine Zhao glared at Qi Yuexin, nodded and said, "That's the only way to go. You should quickly ask someone to find out which jade craftsman in the jade workshop has such craftsmanship. The salary is not a problem."

As soon as Qi Yuexin heard that Bu Yao could still inlay it, she ignored her mother's glaring at her, and kept urging Mother Zhao.If this swing is hopeless, she doesn't know when she will be able to get such a beautiful and rare swing again.

Qi Yuexin was jealous and angry at the same time: Xia Shuyao is really rich, so she just gave away such an expensive walking swing.Hmph, those who come from the market are vain, and I don't know if they slapped their faces to pretend to be fat?

But, since she wants face so much, how dare she not come tomorrow?Also, does she not care that her second brother will be angry?Does she know that the second brother is now very alienated from her siblings, mother and concubine?No, no, the second brother has become cold since he went to the army.She hasn't even entered the door yet, what kind of relationship can Second Brother have with her, why would he tell her these things?

No matter how angry Zhao Fangfei's mother and daughter are, or helpless, if this matter gets out, no one will say anything about Shuyao.After all, princess Yue is a sister-in-law, and she, Qi Yuexin, is just a concubine.Which is more important?Everyone would make the same choice as Xia Shuyao.

Qi Yuexin could only grit her teeth secretly, she must make good friends with Princess Yan and Madam Yu, they seemed not to be close to Xia Shuyao.

For some reason, Qi Yuexin, who has always prided herself on being noble, admires Princess Yan and Ma Ling'er very much, and thinks that they, especially Princess Yan, are noble girls who are truly noble and talented, and that she is the same kind when she is with them .

Early the next morning, Qi Yuexin dressed up meticulously, ready to receive guests.Concubine Zhao is also busy arranging various matters. She believes that there will be more guests today, because she deliberately let out the news that they also sent posts to Xia Shuyao.As for Xia Shuyao not coming, she always had a way to explain it.It just so happened that Xia Shuyao sent such a precious Bu Yao.

It was because of their good luck, plus "money can make ghosts turn the millstones", mother Zhao found an old jade craftsman yesterday, worked overnight, and wrapped the two severed hairpins with thin, carved gold pieces. Together, it really is very beautiful.Qi Yuexin couldn't put it down.

The guests came one after another, but it was strange that many of them were late, and they were still busy talking in whispers when they arrived.

At first, the concubine Zhao's mother and daughter thought that the matter of breaking the hairpin yesterday had already been exposed by the palace maid, and now they are talking about it one by one.But look again, those people didn't have time to look at them at all.If it's talking about that, it can't be like this.

At this time, a lady who had a good relationship with Concubine Zhao also arrived, and she said, "The battle is really big, and the common people are watching. My carriage was blocked, so I had to make a detour." After all, they are officials. The female relatives are not like ordinary people crowding on both sides of the reception to watch the long hunting team.

Concubine Zhao wondered: "Is there any big battle today? Prince Ning will leave the capital after the first month." No one would be willing to leave early, wishing to delay for a few more days.

The lady curled her lips: "Then how can it be compared? Prince Ning left the capital and went out with the emperor to hunt with the prince and his close officials. The princess, Princess Yue, and Miss Xia from the Lianghou Mansion. These three little nobles have gone, so don’t add a lot of waiting people, the line is so long. Tsk tsk, by the way, the emperor really dotes on them. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty , I have never heard of any emperor taking the princess and princess to hunt. Among the three, your Prince Yong's mansion occupies two at once, tsk tsk, you still have face."

Concubine Zhao smiled awkwardly, her sharp nails pierced her palm, it turned out that Xia Shuyao said she had an appointment with the Fourth Princess and Princess Yue, so she went hunting with the emperor.What an honor, naturally she wouldn't care about Qi Yuexin's birthday banquet.Why?Why?Prince Yong's face will never benefit her Xin'er and Xiang'er?They are also the blood of the prince, and they are the true masters of the palace.That's all for Qi Yueling, no matter how Xia Shuyao is the quasi-prince concubine, she hasn't entered the door yet.

Also resentful was Sima Yan, the owner of Princess Yan who had just arrived. Although she was smiling as usual, she was about to go crazy in her heart.Xia Shuyao is the quasi-prince concubine of Prince Yong's mansion, but she is the quasi-second concubine. Who is the emperor's daughter-in-law?

She has been working hard to restrain herself, to make her heart more peaceful and comfortable, and she keeps telling herself that Xia Shuyao can't compare with herself.But why, there are always so many unjust news coming?
