Fair Lady

In the cold night, the wind was biting, Yu Zhengran stood at the window facing the wind, as if he couldn't feel the cold.

It's going to be the fifteenth day again, and the moon is almost round again, and now it's like a moon cake that has been bitten by someone, and a corner is missing...

As soon as Mr. Yu left, he sighed a long time. Such a good opportunity will never come again, and that person and the people around him will all be on high alert.

They have already made such careful arrangements and made various plans. The best thing is to kill that one. If they miss, the next best thing is to rob Princess Yue.In that way, there was a thorn between Prince Heyong and his son.

Thousands of calculations have been made, but they did not expect Xia Shuyao, a 13-year-old girl, to know how to conceal weapons and make extraordinary moves.

Mr. Yu saw that Yu Zhengran was depressed, and thought he was sorry for the "No. [-]" who was hacked to death by his own hands. He was the top killer of Wishing Square, who didn't come out easily, and he was also a partner who practiced martial arts with Zhengran since he was a child.

"Young master, the fate of a killer is like this. Once he misses, death is the best relief. 'Number two' will only thank you, so that he doesn't have to suffer the torture of poison like 'number ten' before dying. Young master, You don't want to think about that anymore, this time we really have to be quiet and not act rashly." Mr. Yu comforted Yu Zhengran so much, what he didn't know was that if Yu Zhengran hadn't made a move, "No. [-]" There is a good chance to snatch Qi Yueling away.

Mr. Yu shook his head and walked away quietly, he knew that the young master's greatest weakness was being too soft on the people around him.Therefore, he never let too many people get close to the young master, and the sparring partners are all rotated.

Just close your eyes.Take a deep breath and let it out slowly...

He didn't regret it, he just felt bored.If time went back, he would still do that.Because when No. [-] hit Princess Yue with a palm, the tingling pain in his heart was indescribable.At that moment, he had only one thought, Princess Yue could not fall into the hands of his father.He knew very well that once Princess Yue was captured, it would be impossible to stay in the capital.Either immediately send it secretly to the northeast, or kill him, and send the cold body or some tokens on his body to the Southwest General's Mansion.

No, he can't.He would rather his father send him to the southwest to risk his life to assassinate Prince Yong than to see Princess Yue's charming and bright smile disappear before his eyes.

Why?He didn't know it himself, only that he couldn't...

No sleepless night except Yu Zhengran.And Sima Yan.

The twelfth day of the first lunar month was the day when Yan County hosted the "Plum Blossom Banquet", but Sima Yan who woke up early in the morning had dark circles under her eyes.Mother Hua sighed secretly, and ordered the little maid to fetch hard-boiled eggs, peel the shells, and roll them lightly on the bruises.

Waiting for the maids to wait for Sima Yan to finish dressing and dressing, she looked at the girl with outstanding appearance and outstanding demeanor.Mother Hua nodded in satisfaction, and whispered in Sima Yan's ear: "Sister, it's a blessing to have a wide heart. If you can't make it out of the horns, try to avoid meeting Princess Qi."

Originally, it was a good thing to be able to make friends with Princess Qi and the two Marquis Mansions, and it was the best policy.However, if my daughter always compares herself with Princess Qi like this, I don't want to say that I feel uncomfortable, just in case... It's better to simply cut off contact.

Sima Yan's eyes darkened: "Mom, don't worry. I know what to do, and I won't be impulsive." Does even Hua's mother think she is inferior to Xia Shuyao?Going into a dead end?Where did she get into a dead end?

So what about martial arts?woman.Especially ladies, they should be gentle and gentle, well-educated and reasonable, showing the gracefulness and gentleness of women everywhere, which is the difference between women and men.Wouldn't it be sad if women were as rough and hard as those men. (At this time, Sima Yan doesn't want to think about it at all, has she ever seen Shuyao, is it rough and hard?

She just admitted one thing unwillingly: Xia Shuyao was very lucky.

Who is the emperor, surrounded by guards and shadow guards, but the guards were not there at that moment, which gave Xia Shuyao a chance to perform. Didn't it mean that Master Yu, Xia Shujie and those guards would arrive soon?Master Yu killed the assassin, and Princess Yue was also rescued by Xia Shujie, but Xia Shuyao took the credit for it. Isn't this good luck?

However, good luck will always be used up, and one's own abilities and talents are permanent and reliable.

Princess Yan is not only the second concubine-to-be, but also a celebrity in front of the empress dowager. She is also good at communication, and her popularity is good.Therefore, the Plum Blossom Banquet held for the first time by the Duke of Anguo's Mansion was still very popular with noble families and noble ladies.Early in the morning, many guests came to the door on time with gifts.

Last night, the servants of Duke Anguo's Mansion carried out all the luxurious and precious objects in her private treasury according to Princess Yan's instructions, and arranged the reception hall, banquet hall, and the small flower hall where the girls chanted poems. wait.Those are the rewards from the palace, as well as the treasures of her mother and sister-in-law's dowry, and the treasures collected by An Guogong as her dowry over the years.

A few years ago, because of Xia Ruoxue's involvement, the reputation of Duke Anguo's mansion was greatly damaged. Everyone knew that Jin Xida's marriage recognition banquet was listed by the emperor, but there was no part of Duke Anguo's mansion.If it wasn't for the Princess Yan who often went in and out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, perhaps there would be rumors in the streets and alleys that Duke Anguo's mansion had lost his Sacred Heart?

The aristocratic families in the capital are most afraid of being "forgotten", being forgotten by the emperor, being forgotten by the aristocratic circle... because that means that they are heading for decline.

Now that Xia Ruoxue has nothing to do with Anguo Gongfu, and Sima Yan got a marriage from the queen mother to become the second prince concubine. She will get married in a few months. It is time for Anguo Gongfu to sweep away the "bad luck". The biggest purpose of the plum blossom feast.Now, Sima Yan is willing to lend her private property to An Guogong's house to save face. The eyes of Mrs. An Guogong's wife glistened with tears: "This child is caring, the Gu family, the Duke and I did not love her in vain."

Mrs. An Guogong took the lead, and the daughters-in-law of the family also hurriedly lent out the private house items that were available for display. After all, face is everyone's. If An Guogong's mansion is good, they are good.Besides, it's just taking out the objects and displaying them for a day, so I can't be compared by my sister-in-law.

There are so many people and so much power. Today's Anguo Gongfu is more luxurious than ever before.

The guests came to the door one after another, their mouths full of praise, their eyes full of envy and flattery, which made Sima Yan and the wives of An Guogong's mansion secretly proud.

Concubine Zhao and Qi Yuexin's eyes blurred as soon as they entered the door. Normally, apart from the imperial palace, their Prince Yong's Mansion should be the most noble mansion in Dazhou, but... such a comparison is really frustrating.

The first concubine was really a so-called "fairy-like" person who didn't eat the fireworks of the world, and the yellow and white things were the last thing she bothered about.When Concubine Xian was in charge of Zhongfu, she liked elegant decorations, but in the words of Concubine Zhao, she was fake and noble.The flowers, grasses, rockery, pavilions, lotus ponds, etc. in the mansion took a lot of thought and money, but the noble objects were locked in the warehouse.

After the death of the first concubine, during the three-year filial piety period, the side concubine Zhao dared not propose to decorate the palace in a flamboyant manner.Moreover, the private treasury of the former princess was handed over to a special person for registration and management by the empress dowager, and she couldn't move it. The hateful thing is that Prince Yong took all the treasures that the concubine obtained in the mansion during her lifetime as the private treasury of the former concubine, and planned to leave it to Qi Haoning and Qi Yuexin.

After the filial piety period, Concubine Zhao, who is in charge of Zhongfu, can naturally take charge of buying things, but unfortunately the prince's fee for the inner courtyard is limited, and her hand cannot reach the outer courtyard and the property in the mansion.

To save a "private house" for Qi Yuexin and Qi Haoxiang, to subsidize her mother's family, and to be good-looking, so that the Queen Mother will not find out what's going on, and she will be caught and relieved of her housekeeping power. After breaking it into two halves, where can I buy any precious treasures?

For so many years, there are naturally many rewards in the palace, but unfortunately, they are all directly awarded to Qi Haoning and Qi Yueling, and they are all registered and managed by the nuns arranged by the Queen Mother.In the early years, Qi Yuexin and Qi Haoxiang also got some from Qi Haoning.However, after obtaining only a few small objects, Concubine Zhao no longer dared to let them seek them from Qi Haoning.Because, when the nanny entered the palace, she flamboyantly carried the warehouse booklet with her.What it means is self-evident.

If you don't compare, you will pretend not to know. Now such a comparison breaks your heart.Concubine Zhao didn't know whether she should hate the dead cousin of the concubine, or Prince Yong in the southwest?Of course, the queen mother and the emperor are not something she can hate, and there is nothing she can do about it.

In the earliest days, Concubine Zhao and Qi Yuexin hated Princess Yan extremely, because a courtier's daughter could get the title of princess and be favored by the Queen Mother, but Qi Yuexin, the serious lady of Prince Yong's Mansion, had nothing...

However, now that Qi Yuexin has formed an alliance with Ma Ling'er and Sima Yan, Concubine Zhao has also seen the benefits.There are no permanent enemies, and there are no permanent friends, only interests are the most important.Sima Ya and Ma Ling'er are the most distinguished daughters who are willing to befriend Qi Yuexin.

Both Zhao Fangfei's mother and daughter had never met Shuyao, so they couldn't open their mouths to ask the other guests who is Xia Shuyao from the Yongping Hou Mansion, so they could only wait with their ears upright for the welcoming maid to call her name.The gift turmoil at the birthday banquet the day before yesterday made them very embarrassed, but fortunately, there were basically no guests today.However, Qi Yuexin is still wearing the glazed peacock walker today, but she dare not exaggerately imply that Shuyao gave up the best things to please her.

The time for welcoming guests has passed, and the guests who should arrive should have arrived, but the maid has never heard the name of Miss Xia from the Yongping Houfu, Qi Yuexin wondered, Xia Shuyao arrived earlier than her?

Sima Yan couldn't sit still anymore, Xia Shuyao didn't give her face like this?

At this time, someone came to the palace, Sima Yan didn't care about her depression, so she rushed out first.The people who came were a nun in charge of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and the nun next to Concubine Ma Guifei who came with her.
