Lady Changning

Chapter 33: Dog Eats Dog (3)

"My daughter must be smart, otherwise, how would we men live?" The prince's cynicism was completely different from that day when he was sick, and Xi Changning didn't want to mention who the "Liu Li" was, as it was a secret that the prince could not tell. .

"Xi Changning!" It was Xi Lin who pierced the silence of the starry sky.

"Did brother come to tell me the result of our bet?"

Although Xi Changning didn't want to see such a crazy Xi Lin, it's better for him to recognize the facts earlier.

"Xi Lin, I don't get involved in your family affairs, but if someone hadn't asked for help, I'm afraid you would have been cheated." The prince also kindly reminded that Xi Lin is a good man, and he has been a friend for many years.

"Brother, you and my brothers and sisters, no matter what happens to my mother or me, I hope you will be a bystander."

Perhaps in this way Xi Lin's harm can be minimized, after all, the eldest lady is her own mother, and she dotes on him to the fullest.

"Is there any wine?" Xi Lin was a little depressed, but he didn't want to ask about these things anymore.

"Mingyu, those sweet-scented osmanthus are brewed."

Xi Changning summoned Mingyu to get some wine, and what she got was the sweet-scented osmanthus wine that she liked very much recently.

"Prince, the young master has a good taste. Although it is not expensive, there are less and less sweet-scented osmanthus wines in this season. Stores sell all they save, so I will buy more." Mingyu also likes Fengqiuhuang's things. , Seeing that the atmosphere is not good, I become more courageous, and learn to change the topic.

At the first hearing, the prince and Xi Lin had a different kind of brilliance in their eyes, and they must have been attracted by the wine.

"Since I can't sleep, it seems that my water pavilion will not sleep tonight." Xi Changning also relaxed and joked.

"Don't be wronged, if you want to be wronged, we are wronged." The prince has already drank it, and the mellow aroma is lingering in the mouth, not strong, very satisfying.

Xi Lin drank it in one gulp without waiting to savor it carefully. Everyone present knew that he was depressed, so they let him go.

The sky turned pale, and two people, the crown prince and Xi Lin, had already fallen asleep on the soft couch.Only Xi Changning did not feel sleepy.She asked Mingyu to call a man to bring the prince and Xi Lin back to Xi Lin's yard.Wrapped in a blanket, he himself watched the red sun rise in the sky, and Mingyu also watched from the side.

When the sun had fully risen, Xi Changning finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell into a deep sleep.There is still a blush on the cheeks after drinking, coupled with the soft sunlight, she really looks as innocent as an ordinary child, but it is not difficult to see that there are thoughts entangled in the dream from the frowning from time to time.Afraid that she would be frozen, Mingyu went back to Tayue Pavilion and took the quilt out to cover it.

It was already noon when Xi Changning woke up, presumably the two people in Xi Lin's courtyard would not get up early, and they would definitely not be able to go to the academy.And she also missed a storm outside.According to Mingyu, when Xi Jian returned to the mansion, he was so angry that he restrained the eldest lady and Xi Hanxue, all the maids and mothers in the room were kicked out, and no one was allowed to go outside to deliver meals.It seems that it was because General Yan played the emperor, the emperor was very displeased, but fortunately Xi Jian's official position and achievements were there, the emperor was willing to be a peacemaker, and fined Xi Jian for half a year's salary, and asked Xi Jian to give to General Yan in public I apologized, but General Yan didn't pursue the matter because of the emperor, but General Yan couldn't hold back his breath, preaching the injustice of the prime minister's house everywhere, mocking Hanxue's flamboyance, and seducing Yan Xiufeng with his immorality.Who else in the capital doesn't know?

Xi Changning listened to Mingyu's long-winded talk, and the main points were not hard to hear. Anyway, the lady and Xi Hanxue are going to stop for a while, and it may not be easy for Xi Hanxue to regain her reputation.

Palace of the Three Princes.

It was rare for Yan Xiufeng to see that the third prince no longer smiled like a spring breeze, but frowns tightly.

"According to what you said, it seems that she intends to stand with the prince."

"Third prince, this is not good for us. I can conclude that Xi Changning is really not easy."

When Yan Xiufeng heard his father come back as soon as possible, he felt that both he and Xi Hanxue had fallen into Xi Changning's game. At that time, the situation was uncertain. He could only choose between Xi Hanxue and Xi Changning, but as a man, his intuition was still the same. I chose Xi Hanxue, but what I didn't expect was that now I lost my wife and lost my army, and got nothing. On the contrary, it was the Yan family and Xi Jian who were both hurt.But Xi Changning is clearly the person involved, but he lives in peace like a victim watching a play.

"I'm not talking about you. From what you said, it's not difficult to see that she left you a step, but it's a pity that you prefer beautiful women. This person is getting more and more impressive." The third prince thought about it carefully.

It's a pity that he also took a wrong step. He didn't test her but held her firmly in his hand. Maybe she won't get so close to the prince today. Well, it's just a chess game now. It doesn't matter who wins and who loses. must.Thinking of this, her mind suddenly captured her casual smile, maybe this kind of feeling is more suitable for her, but why is it so cold on the surface.He can't give up such an interesting person to the prince so cheaply. It's much safer to keep her by his side than to stay by the prince's side.

"Is the third prince making fun of me? How can I swallow this breath when a dignified man let a woman play with him?"

Yan Xiufeng was extremely unhappy. If Xi Changning had been dragged into the water at that time, maybe he would not be the only one who is troubled now, but why did he feel that he had been figured out by her for a moment, and would definitely do what she said?The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel.

"Just take it as a loss and buy a lesson. You are much better than Xi Hanxue. She must not even dare to come out now."

Thinking of Xi Hanxue, Yan Xiufeng panicked even more, that bitch was unwilling to bow his head in that situation, so don't blame him for the uproar now.This is also to teach her a little lesson, to see if she dares to play tricks everywhere in the future.

Listen to Snow Pavilion.

The woman in the mirror has creamy skin, almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose, red lips, and a red dress that makes her look even more glamorous.

Xi Hanxue held the wooden comb in her hand and combed it again and again, looking at herself in the mirror who was dressed the same as Xi Changning.

"Xi Changning, how can you compare to me? I am also tens of millions more beautiful than you in this red outfit. Do you think that you can defeat me? Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. I want to see whether you are better or me. You wait for me!"

In the blink of an eye, the wooden comb had already been thrown towards the mirror, and the person in the mirror was shattered to pieces.

"Xi Changning, I won't give up! Everything is mine! It's mine!"

Like a strong wind passing by, Xi Hanxue didn't stop until there was nothing to throw around.She is not willing to fail like this. She has understood the distinction between concubine and concubine since she was a child. It is even more difficult for her to succeed without a mother. She is not willing to live like Xi Changning when she was a child. Climbing up, she is well-behaved and sensible, and her beauty is unmatched. The eldest lady dotes on the Xiangfu, who is not flattering, but now?Xi Changning was responsible for being locked up in this small Tingxue Pavilion.She won't make it easy for her either.

Boom!A heavy knocking sound made the maid outside the house feel that something was wrong, she hurriedly opened the door, and when she entered the house, she saw Xi Hanxue bleeding from her forehead, and she left a letter in her hand.

Destroy my innocence, why not fear death.

"It's not good! Miss committed suicide!"

Unknowingly, it seemed to be another violent storm.

Tayue Pavilion.

Cuckoo, cluck, cluck.

Hearing the strange sound, Xi Changning followed the reputation, it was a carrier pigeon with a letter tied to its leg, but it looked like a stupid carrier pigeon.

"Baby, where are you, baby?"

Xi Yu leaned over and called near the Tayue Pavilion, baby?It can't be the name of this pigeon, can it?

"Fourth Sister! That's my pigeon." Seeing the pigeon beside Xi Changning, Xi Yu hurried to catch it.

"Yue'er, I found the baby."

Boom, boom, little short-legged Xi Yueer also appeared in front of Xi Changning, and took the pigeon from Xi Yu's hand.

"Yu'er, Yue'er, which song did you sing?" Xi Changning was puzzled.

"Fourth sister, this is a baby, I got it. There is also a little Beibei, I got it too." Yue'er said stupidly.

But something unexpected happened. Xi Yueer flew in again after finishing talking about little Beibei.Needless to say, it must be Little Beibei, two stupid pigeons, who actually went to the wrong place.

"Fourth sister, don't pay attention to Yue'er. These two stupid pigeons are not suitable for carrier pigeons, only Yue'er and that person will keep them. If it were someone else, they would eat and pick their teeth."

Xi Yu looked at the two pigeons in Xi Yue'er's arms with disdain, but what he said was not bad. These two pigeons are so stupid that they often go to the wrong place. His mother said several times to make pigeon soup. It's a letter from home.

"That person?" Xi Changning heard something.

"That's right, I don't know him either, maybe it's that person." Xi Yu said it as a matter of course.

Xi Changning thought that he was being superstitious, and always felt that something was going on inside.

"Brother Jing said he came to the capital." Yue'er said happily.

Seeing Yue'er so happy, Xi Changning couldn't help being curious about Brother Jing in Yue'er's mouth.There is no memory of this person in the previous life, it's just that she lived in a remote hospital for several years at that time, and occasionally someone came to see her, and she didn't necessarily go out by herself.Fortunately, I heard Wu Yiniang mention a few words before, Xuan Jing.He is the only son of Brother Wu Yiniang.

Hearing Yue'er said that Xuan Jing came to the capital, even Xi Yu's eyes lit up. It seems that although they don't meet often, they still have a good relationship.It's not like the people you meet day and night in Xiangfu really want to harm you.

"What makes you so happy? Tell my mother."

As soon as they heard Wu Yiniang coming in, Xi Yu and Xi Yue'er stepped forward regardless of the rules and told Wu Yiniang about the letter.

"Tsk! That kid Xuan Jing must have run away from home again." Wu Yiniang couldn't close her mouth when she mentioned Xuan Jing.It seems that this family is really harmonious, but she looks much lonely in comparison.

This feeling of harmony did not last long before it was disturbed by bad news from the front yard.

Xi Hanxue committed suicide.

Wu Yiniang didn't care about the two stupid pigeons and led Xi Yu and Xi Yue'er, and followed Xi Changning to Tingxue Pavilion.
