The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 77
"Since you and I are called sisters, no matter how troublesome I am, An Shuiyao, I will definitely not let sister Yiqing go astray in her lifelong happiness."

Hearing An Shuiyao's sisterly words, Kang Yiqing became more and more puzzled.

"Then why? Didn't Sister Shuiyao look down on those men who linger in the flowers?"

"It's not that I looked down on it before, but it has always been like this until now."

An Shuiyao first corrected Kang Yiqing's words.Then turn to the topic.

"According to my observations, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as those more promising sons and daughters of officials, except for Duanmu Ling, I really can't find a clean and outstanding man."

While talking, An Shuiyao's fair-skinned porcelain face turned slightly red unknowingly.Even the eyes that have always been calm, with a soft smile at most, are full of tenderness.

That embarrassment that was both shy and happy, fell into Kang Yiqing's sight and felt extremely dazzling.In An Shuiyao's eyes, Duanmuling is the only perfect man!
If it wasn't for the fact that I was still waiting for her stupid answer, I really wanted to continue to stimulate her with Bai Jiujiu!
An Shuiyao continued: "So, considering that he is a prince but does not have three wives and four concubines, it should be considered good. The most important thing is..."

Speaking of this, the pride in An Shuiyao's eyes seemed to grow stronger.Looking straight at Kang Yiqing's, she even grabbed Kang Yiqing's hand and held it.

"I don't know if you noticed. Lord Chai seems to be deliberately getting close to General Duanmu."

Kang Yiqing couldn't help but sneered in her heart, but she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "So what?"

"The one who is close to vermilion is red and the one who is close to ink is black. Since this is the case, under the influence of General Duanmu, Lord Chai should become better and better."

Seeing An Shuiyao's more obvious smile, Kang Yiqing felt more and more upset.You, An Shuiyao, liked Duanmuling as long as you liked him, but you have never said anything wrong with him in front of you!But you, why are you always so picky about Lord Chai!Could it be that you have to force others to compete with you for Duan Muling, who is rigid and doesn't understand the slightest bit of sentimentality?

Hmph, if it weren't for my father to take care of me, I would have to walk around with you, the young lady of the prime minister's mansion, otherwise who would come to listen to your lectures every day!
Kang Yiqing had a hypocritical smile on her face: "Hehe... my sister thinks really carefully. In this way, my sister, I can boldly pursue Lord Chai with confidence."

"Yes. My sister wishes you to marry Prince Chai as soon as possible, otherwise the peerless hairpin that you and I love will appear on my sister's bun."

"Yeah. My sister also needs to work hard!" Kang Yiqing smiled back at An Shuiyao.

There are many hairpins in the house, and there are all kinds of styles.But there was only a crystal clear glass hairpin with faint purple lingering that was donated by a small border country three months ago, which not only caused a sensation in the entire government and the public, but also made all the famous women's families salivate.

It is said that the hairpin is not only extremely beautiful and shining, but also has the magical effect of fixing the face.

Only, it's a little weird.That is, this treasure hairpin cannot touch the hands of the royal family.As long as those princesses, concubines, or even empresses touch it, it will automatically take a step back.As far as the royal family is concerned, it is really only for appreciation and not for profanity.

I don't know if it was because the Holy Majesty was so angry that he spoke out, or he wanted to take the opportunity to win over some ministers.He actually said that any beloved daughter of an official of the third rank or above, regardless of her concubine's birth, as long as she was the first to marry a pillar of the imperial court before the year, she would be given this hairpin as a dowry.

Although all the female family members of the famous families were very moved by this, when they saw the two women from the prime minister's mansion, An Shuiyao and Kang Yiqing, who were far above their own in power and background, who were determined to win, they all retreated in despair.

"By the way, Sister Shuiyao. Today Lixuan and General Duanmu will go to Prince Chai's mansion together. I wonder if my sister is interested in joining in the fun?"

An Shuiyao smiled, and shook her head: "I, a woman, have nothing to do with men's affairs. Don't be fooled by him, but end up disgusted instead."

"Okay. Since my sister is so cautious, I'll go alone. My sister still thinks it's better to show my face in front of the prince. At least let him know that I exist."

An Shuiyao just touched her lips with tea, and she stopped moving.

It seems that what Kang Yiqing said really makes sense.

I think he, Duanmuling, was always away in battle in his early years.Although the peace has become much more peaceful in recent years, he would still personally lead troops to garrison the frontier whenever his neighbors invaded him.Just being away all year round, might he know that there is a woman in Qinghong Capital who has had a crush on him for many years?Maybe he knew that the woman was himself?I'm afraid, he has never even heard of the word An Shuiyao.

An Shuiyao smiled wryly to herself, put down the teacup and said to Kang Yiqing, "Sister Yiqing is right. If you can, bring me with you."

"What did my sister say, why is she so polite? It's too late for Yiqing to be happy with her sister! Let's go to the street and wait for Huang Ying to reply!"

After finishing speaking, Kang Yiqing took An Shuiyao's arm very warmly, and went downstairs side by side.

On a day in March, because there is no sunshine, it is still a bit cool to walk on the bustling street and be blown by the wind.

I don't know what that girl Huang Ying was dawdling about, until Kang Yiqing and the three of them walked to the opposite side of Shijue Tower, they never saw her figure.

"Miss, why don't you let the maidservant go in and have a look." The servant girl Xiangyuan suggested seeing the anxious looks of the two ladies.

An Shuiyao hurriedly waved her hand to signal her to go quickly: "Remember to call back sister Yiqing's maid as well!"

As soon as Xiangyuan stepped into the Shijue Tower, she immediately saw the two drinking each other and the maid Huang Ying standing by the table.

It turned out that it wasn't Huang Ying's dereliction of duty, but that she was suddenly grabbed by Kang Lixuan just when she wanted to leave with a joke.He was asked to serve at the table and pour wine for himself and General Duanmu.

Although Huang Ying was not the maid beside his young master Lixuan, the young lady who was serving her now could be regarded as asking him for something.Therefore, Huang Ying didn't dare to leave with an excuse, so she had to bite the bullet and stay, waiting for the opportunity to leave.

Now, seeing Xiangyuan from a distance, it was as if he saw half a savior, busy conveying it with various mouth shapes and gestures.Only then did Xiangyuan leave the restaurant with a vague understanding.

"You bastard! Leave your servant alone and send my maid!" Immediately, Kang Yiqing was a little annoyed.

An Shuiyao, however, was overjoyed, and comforted Kang Yiqing gently: "It's okay, it's okay. Instead of finding a maid to pass on the words unclearly, why don't you take this opportunity to say it yourself."

Immediately, she took Kang Yiqing's hand and walked towards the Shijue Building.

　I wish those who enjoy the holiday a lot of joy and those who work overtime a lot of money! ╭(╯3╰)╮
