Resourceful beauty

Chapter 185 Contest
"Miss, it's not good..."

After Chu Yuan left, Fang Ruxuan sat in front of the soft couch, looking at her faint silhouette on the window, a little like an illusion in a dream, until Su Ye's panicked voice came to her ear, Fang Ruxuan came back to her senses, "Why? gone?"

"Master Chu and Prince Song started fighting at the back door."

Su Ye replied anxiously.

The four nuns invited from the palace lived in the wing room behind Shu Yuxuan. Since they came, the door of the main room of Shu Yuxuan was closed every night after the time of Hai. The reason why Chu Yuanfang jumped in from the window.

According to Chu Yuan's statement, after he left Prince Qi's Mansion, he was going all the way back to Yao Country, but he didn't know how Song Qian appeared at the back door of Prince Qi's Mansion.

Fang Ruxuan frowned with a headache.

In an instant, Fang Ruxuan raised her head and asked Su Ye, "Where is kapok?"

"I chased it out, so the servant hurried back to report the letter."

Listening to the movement outside, Su Ye whispered.

Fang Ruxuan has nothing to do about the outside affairs at the moment, she can't change her clothes and rush out to persuade the fight, right?

Fortunately, Kapok followed her out, Fang Ruxuan sighed, and waved her hand at Su Ye, "I see, you should go and rest soon, if those people ask you, you can just make up an excuse to deal with it."

Su Ye nodded in response, turned around and went out, Fang Ruxuan sat back on the soft couch again, but her thoughts drifted out involuntarily.

In the end, he still had a heart, and came all the way here because of a word from his father, just to ask for a marriage in person, so that King Qi could feel at ease.

As for the matter outside at this moment, I think he will solve it.

Thinking so, Fang Ruxuan got up and walked back to the side of the bed, and fell asleep straight away.

Early the next morning, Fang Ruxuan opened her eyes and made a sound, and Ding Xiang and Kapok came in.

Ding Xiang helped Fang Ruxuan to wash and change clothes, while Mu Mian gave a rough account of what happened the night before.

Coincidentally, Song Qian invited someone to have a drink. After the banquet was over, he accidentally walked into the alleyway of the back door of Prince Qi's Mansion. Immediately afterwards, he saw Chu Yuan coming out of the back door of Prince Qi's Mansion in disguise.

Originally, Chu Yuan married Fang Ruxuan, but now, seeing him appearing in Da Yuan in such a sneaky way, even the people in the palace didn't know about it, Song Qian was even more furious.

Without even saying hello, he swung his fist towards Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan didn't want to startle people, he dealt with Song Qian with his fists and feet, while politely guiding him to the place where he stayed, and Mu Mian followed closely behind.

The one who went there was of course the unremarkable Chu house. Given how drunk Song Qian was at the time, he might not be able to find it even after he woke up. When the two arrived there, they didn't say anything. After restraining Song Qian so that he could no longer move, Song Qian admitted defeat.

After that, all the questions were about Fang Ruxuan.

Ever since they met Fang Ruxuan, Song Qian and Chu Yuan have been at odds. Now that Chu Yuan has embraced the beauty as he wished, Song Qian feels more and more that Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan were involved in the past.

Naturally, Chu Yuan would not admit it, otherwise, Fang Ruxuan's reputation would be ruined if the rumor spread.

What the two said later, Mu Mian didn't know, but when Chu Yuan sent someone to send Song Qian back to the Marquis of Anyuan, a row of empty wine jars had already been placed under the eaves of the main room of Chu's house.

Song Qian was dragged out, and Chu Yuan, who appeared later, was staggering, but his eyes were blurred, but he was not much better.

"he's gone?"

Looking around at her clothes and makeup in front of the bronze mirror, Fang Ruxuan turned to ask Kapok.

Mu Mian nodded, "Master Chu set out after Song Shizi left the Chu residence. At this moment, I'm afraid he has driven hundreds of miles away from the capital."

When Chu Yuan left Prince Qi's mansion, it was already past the curfew in the city, and was delayed by Song Qian for so long, I don't know how he got out of the city gate.

After drinking so much wine and being bumped by the carriage, Chu Yuan didn't know how uncomfortable it must be.

On the other hand, Song Qian, who was sent back to the Marquis of Anyuan, was able to sleep peacefully and soundly. Compared with this, Song Qian really looked like an ignorant child.

Thinking wildly in her heart, Fang Ruxuan inexplicably felt a little bit of resentment towards Song Qian.

Before the nuns came over, Fang Ruxuan summoned Ding Xiang and said, "The box that I asked you to put away before, when Brother Huan celebrates the full moon ceremony, the Marquis of Anyuan will definitely send you gifts. When the time comes, send the box back with the gift in return."

The box was full of things that Song Qian sent after he went to Luzhou, and Fang Ruxuan locked up everything.

One month later, he was about to marry Yao Country, so it was impossible to take those things with him, and it would be troublesome to stay in Prince Qi's Mansion, so it would be better to take this opportunity to send them back together, and it would be considered clear, Song Qian could figure it out.

Ding Xiang nodded in response, and carefully counted those things again, seeing that there was nothing missing, followed Fang Ruxuan's instructions, and sent back the things together with Chen Mei's congratulatory gift to the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion.

On September [-]th, brother Huan's full moon ceremony, the Prince Qi's mansion held a grand banquet, and it was quite lively again.

Naturally, Fang Ruhua would not be absent, and came to the banquet with her mother-in-law Mrs. Wu Ningbo, and Qiu Shumin also came with her, which Fang Ruxuan did not expect.

Seeing Qiu Shumin dressed up like a proud little peacock, looking at her eyes full of resentment, Fang Ruxuan seemed to understand a little bit.

Now, for everyone in the capital, Fang Ruxuan's marriage to Yao Country is a political entanglement between the two countries, and for all the girls of the right age, Fang Ruxuan is undoubtedly worthy of sympathy.

As the Princess of Prince Qi's Mansion, she could have chosen a husband-in-law in the capital and lived her life happily and peacefully, but now, as a conjugal princess, she had to go to Yao Country to intermarry. Possibility of returning home.

In the end, either she was depressed and died lonely in the deep palace of Yao country, or her confidante died young and was buried in another country, how pitiful it is?
Qiu Shumin is one of these people.

She came to see how haggard and helpless she was, how she forced herself to smile, right?
Fang Ruxuan thought a little funny.

Qiu's house was confiscated and exiled, and Qiu Shumin, as a married daughter, was not affected. Now, except for Fang Ruhua, the sisters-in-law who were friends with handkerchiefs in the past, they were afraid to avoid her.

Han Qin originally thought that having the prime minister's mansion as his backing would be helpful to his official career, so he married Qiu Shumin with great joy. Even if he couldn't consummate the marriage, he still gave her the honor of being the wife of the housewife. Once the situation changed, Qiu Shumin has now become a shackle that restricts him.

Originally, he still wanted to compete with his eldest brother Han Song, but now, he has lost everything before he even started to do anything. Han Qin hated Qiu Shumin to the core.

In the past six months, although Wulingbo Mansion has not done anything to Qiu Shumin, the coldness and alienation of everyone has made Qiu Shumin understand that if the tree falls and the monkeys are scattered, if she wants to enjoy the prosperity and wealth in Wulingbo Mansion, she will continue to be her second young master Madam, you have to bow your head and be a man with your tail between your legs.

Therefore, she put away her previous publicity, and Qiu Shumin was filial in every possible way in front of her mother-in-law. When she returned to her courtyard, she was so respectful to that concubine mother-in-law, Aunt Hong. A few innocent and good-looking women were brought into the mansion and brought their aunts to serve Han Qin.

These days, it has finally been quite effective. Mother-in-law and Aunt Hong stopped talking to her coldly, and even Han Qin's attitude became much milder. Qiu Shumin secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, it was heard that Fang Ruxuan was married to the Crown Prince of Yao Kingdom, and she was to be married at the end of the year.

Compared with herself, Fang Ruxuan seemed to be in a worse situation, Qiu Shumin really let out a sigh of relief.Therefore, Prince Qi's mansion held a full moon for the eldest grandson, Qiu Shumin sent Fang Ruhua a set of high-quality emerald hair noodles, and took out a hundred-year-old ginseng from the dowry to honor Mrs. Wulingbo, so he came to attend this time together at Prince Qi's mansion. Opportunity for a full moon feast.

When I was down and out, there was always someone more unlucky than me. Before Fang Ruxuan shed tears on her face and married away, Qiu Shumin would step on her no matter what.

However, seeing Fang Ruxuan appearing glamorous in front of everyone, her plain makeup looks more and more white as fat, and her every move and gesture shows the noble atmosphere of her royal princess, and her clever smile is even more winning With countless compliments, Qiu Shumin's complexion gradually became unsightly.

Crown Princess Yao, the future Queen Yao, mother of the world...

Flattering words of praise filled my ears, and Qiu Shumin's hands shrunk into the armholes were tightly clenched together, and she couldn't even feel the pain of her nails digging into her palms.

why?
She is obviously a stone girl, can't give birth to children, and is the lone star of the gods, but why is she still canonized as a princess bestowing marriage on Yaoguo?Isn't the royal family afraid that Yao Kingdom will use this as an excuse to cause trouble?
Oh, by the way, I heard that it was Yao Guo who asked her to marry her by name.

A woman who can't bear children, marrying back can not only make friends with Da Yuan, but also don't have to worry about her giving birth to children in the future and disrupting the foundation of Yao country. Such a candidate is really the best choice for intermarriage.

It is so, it must be so.

Thinking viciously in her heart, Qiu Shumin let out a long sigh of relief, the mood that had been depressed since entering Prince Qi's mansion and seeing Fang Ruxuan finally improved a little.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan accompanying Chen Mei, greeting the female guests who came to the banquet from table to table, and then walking to her own table, Qiu Shumin took a deep breath and raised the wine glass in front of her.

However, Fang Ruxuan only symbolically raised her glass when the table was full of compliments, and followed Chen Mei to the next table without even looking at her.

The words she had prepared were repeated in her mind countless times, but before she had time to say them, Fang Ruxuan left a slender figure and turned away. Qiu Shumin was just ignored.

Holding her breath in her chest and unable to breathe, Qiu Shumin's face flushed red.

In the ear, there was the sneering laughter of the ladies at the next table, "She doesn't even look at her own virtues, she is just a young lady who is a concubine in the Wuling uncle's house, and she still wants to clink glasses with Princess Xuanyi? It's ridiculous... ..."

"Yeah, I still think of myself as the noble daughter of the prime minister's mansion..."

There was an endless stream of shallow laughter, just enough for Qiu Shumin to hear clearly.

It took a long time to realize that those people were talking about her. When Qiu Shumin came back to her senses, she saw that she was still holding a cup, like a statue, and Fang Ruxuan was no longer in front of her.
