Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 103 Steal Miss Hairpin
Tianxiang's heart trembled: "It's unlikely..." Mother passed away, how could she still be alive?

Yiju looked puzzled: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Tian Xiang waved her hand and said, "I remember, when Nanny Gui came back, she acted naturally, as if nothing happened."

"Yes!" All the girls responded.

When Nanny Gui came back, she saw Tianxiang sitting on the dresser, looking as if she had just woken up from a nap.

Tian Xiang said with a smile: "Nurse, you haven't combed Xiang'er's hair for a long time..."

"Miss likes it. From now on, this old slave will comb your hair every day." Nanny Gui said, wiping away her tears.

After a while, Nanny Gui combed Tianxiang into a flying cloud bun which is popular nowadays.Tianxiang said: "It seems that I have a pendant hairpin, I haven't seen it for a long time..."

All the maids were shocked, but Yizhu and Yiju looked at each other and understood.It turns out that the hairpin in the master's hand was stolen from the young lady!
Tianxiang waved her hand and said, "When I entered the palace that day, I might have fallen into it when I was dealing with Luo Zhaoyi. Forget it, Yiju, follow me into the study first."

Yiju followed in, Tianxiang said: "Based on your impression, draw the appearance of that lady." After a pause, she said: "No, you should describe it, and I will draw it!"

Yiju looked at the painting in front of her, and was surprised: "Miss, you are such a good painter! The servant girl just said that you can draw to perfection!"

Tian Xiang frowned: "This madam's clothes don't look like those of the Xijing Kingdom."

"Miss... Master is back, I want you to go to his study." Liu Ying knocked on the door and said.

Tianxiang put away the painting, nodded and said, "Well, I'll go there right away."

In the study, Chu Dan brought Qi Zhongqing ice-cold heat-relieving soup.Then he sat down and got intimate with Qi Zhongqing.Recently, this Chu Dan has become another favor of Qi Zhongqing.Even the degree of being favored is even more than that of Aunt Zhuo.

Tianxiang watched from a distance, and had no intention of speaking.It wasn't until Qi Zhongqing saw Tianxiang that she stepped forward and said, "Father, I don't know why I called my daughter here?"

Qi Zhongqing seemed to be in a good mood today, with a rather strong smile on his face.Glancing at Chu Dan, he said, "Go and greet the eldest lady."

Chu Dan's posture was well-behaved, and the contempt in the depths of his eyes was fully exposed: "Miss is well!"

Tian Xiang squinted at her until she saw that she was showing impatience, and said indifferently: "Excuse me!"

Na Chudan immediately turned around and went behind Qi Zhongqing, without retreating wisely.Qi Zhongqing seemed to be overly excited, but he didn't care about Chu Dan's transcendence.

"Xiang'er, the emperor issued an imperial decree this morning. In a few days, the envoys from Nanyue Kingdom and Dongli Kingdom will come. At that time, the officials of the capital will bring their descendants into the palace to participate in the palace banquet." Qi Zhongqing looked at Tianxiang and said excitedly .

"Father, the descendants of the direct line? Then, the children of concubines are not allowed to enter the palace?" Tian Xiang frowned.

"Oh, my father also wants Tianqing and the others to enter the palace together. But, the emperor's imperial decree has been issued, and there is nothing I can do for my father." Qi Zhongqing had a look of regret, but Tianxiang was disdainful. He definitely didn't care about his daughter.I want more daughters to attend the palace banquet, so that I can get more children from rich and powerful families to show the Duke's face!
"Father, my daughter is very strange." Tianxiang pondered for a moment and said, "The Dongli Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom and our Xijing Kingdom are also known as the three major countries, and they have rarely communicated with each other. Why are they suddenly here?"

Qi Zhongqing's eyes flashed when he heard the words: "Recently, the vassal states of the three major kingdoms are not very peaceful. I think that the emperors of the three kingdoms must be in trouble. Let's get together to discuss countermeasures!"

Tianxiang was taken aback, it seemed that Emperor Xijing was inclined to attack vassal states.Instead, he asked directly: "Then father, will the emperor decide who will lead the army?"

Qi Zhongqing couldn't restrain her excitement immediately when she heard the words: "In the early court, many courtiers asked for orders to lead the army, and they also took the exam for their father. The emperor has no one to choose for the time being. If he is blessed by the Holy Grace for his father, the Qi family will soon have a chance to make a comeback. La!"

Tianxiang pursed her lips and smiled: "Father, my daughter will wish you your wish in advance! But it's okay if you are not selected. Compared with the glory of the Qi family, the daughter cares more about her father's body!"

Hearing this, Qi Zhongqing felt warm in her heart, and said softly: "Xiang'er, remember to dress up well tomorrow, don't lose the demeanor of a prostitute in the Duke's Mansion!"

"Yes, my daughter will leave." Tianxiang saluted respectfully and withdrew.

Chu Dan watched Tianxiang leave, and said to Qi Zhongqing: "My lord, this servant seems to be unwilling to participate in the palace banquet. Now that the young lady's talents are spreading far and wide, which woman in the capital is not jealous? At that time, the palace will be a place of right and wrong. Those jealous daughters may plot against the eldest lady!"

Qi Zhongqing thought for a while, then said helplessly: "You are right, but after all, Xiang'er is the legitimate daughter of the mansion, and the sacred order is hard to violate!"

"Hehe, master, have you forgotten that there are three daughters in this mansion?" Chu Dan said delicately.

Qi Zhongqing frowned: "Those three are concubines, how can they compare with Tianxiang?"

Chu Dan giggled: "Master, if you straighten one of the aunts, wouldn't you have an extra daughter?"

"Presumptuous!" Qi Zhongqing's complexion darkened: "Is it possible that your little servant can dictate the matter of righting?"

"Master, forgive me!" Chu Dan knelt down with a plop.

"That's all..." Qi Zhongqing looked disappointed: "I thought you were an exception, but I didn't expect..." After finishing speaking, he walked away.

"Master..." Chu Dan called out resentfully.

"Hey! I can't imagine that with your status, you dare to take a picture of the royal family!" Chu Ping walked in slowly, and said contemptuously.

"No matter how unbearable I am, it's better than you!" Chu Dan gritted his teeth and said, "At least I have an independent yard, unlike you who are crowded together with slaves!"

When Tianxiang returned to Yuyanzhai, thinking of Qi Zhongqing's words, she couldn't help feeling unhappy.It's so strange, what kind of direct descendants of Emperor Xijing attended the palace banquet?
Liu Nian glanced at Tianxiang, hesitantly said: "Miss, I really didn't expect that Chu Dan..." After finishing speaking, he recounted the conversation between Chu Dan and Qi Zhongqing verbatim.

Tian Xiang frowned and said: "This Chu Dan has just entered the mansion, her foundation is not stable, there must be someone behind her!"

"Miss, then, what should we do?" Fleeting Nian was surprised.

"Don't worry about it. The person behind is just using her, so naturally she won't allow her to gain power. As for us, we will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and follow them to fight!" Tian Xiang took a sip of tea and said indifferently.

"But miss, this servant is worried that the person behind the scenes will set his mind on you and hurt you!" Liu Nian said worriedly.

Tianxiang laughed and said: "Your lady, I am not so easy to assassinate, they don't have the courage to assassinate me yet!"

"Miss..." Yizhu came in excitedly, carrying a sealed bamboo basket, "Look, this is a gift from the young master, saying that it is for you to wear it at the palace banquet."

When Tianxiang was opened, Fleeting Nian couldn't help sighing: "Miss, these ornaments are so beautiful!"

Tianxiang was ashamed, this Luo Tianqi actually gave her a whole bamboo basket of jewelry!

Yizhu continued: "Miss, the master has said so. This is just an appetizer, and there are more surprises for you!"

Tianxiang stroked her forehead, and then said: "It seems that your master is really capable, then let him have nothing to do, go to the palace and help me find that hairpin."

Yizhu said without changing his face: "Yes, the servant must tell the master."

The next day, Nanny Gui combed Tianxiang's hair in person: "Miss, today's palace banquet is different from usual, you need to dress up well."

Tianxiang nodded and asked: "I heard that the envoys from the two countries are of extraordinary status?"

Liu Ying usually likes this kind of news the most, and immediately said: "Miss, the prince Murong Zijin and princess Murong Zishu have come to Nanyue Kingdom. But Dongli Kingdom is the Taifu with a woman, but the identity of the woman is Unknown for now."

"Oh, by the way, that Nanyue country came to marry Xijing country..." Liu Ying said gossipingly.

Tian Xiang was taken aback, at least those two countries were also big countries.Why is it so tiring, it turns out that the Xijing Kingdom is married?Tianxiang couldn't figure it out, and remembered what Qi Zhongqing said, some of the surrounding vassal states were not very peaceful.I was shocked in my heart, my mother had a military book that said that in the affairs of the world, if you unite for a long time, you must divide, and if you divide for a long time, you must unite!

Liu Nian suddenly said: "Miss, your talent and appearance are probably the top among these three countries."

Tianxiang's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "You poor-mouthed ones, you like to talk nonsense when you have nothing to do. I see that you are young, do you want me to find you a good family and marry you?"

Yizhu laughed loudly: "Miss, you look like an adult, but you are actually the youngest, and you still have to find a good family with us!"

Tianxiang was delighted when she heard the words: "Well, it seems that I have spoiled you all, and you have become poor with me..."

In Zhaoyue Garden, after Qi Tianjiao vented her anger on the maids, she grabbed Lianshi's sleeve and said, "Mother, I don't care, I'm going to this palace banquet too!"

Lianshi was helpless: "My dear daughter, this time it is stipulated by the imperial decree that only direct descendants can enter the palace!"

"It's all your fault!" Qi Tianjiao heard the words, and suddenly looked at Lianshi with hatred and said, "If it wasn't for not being able to sit on the wife of the wife, how could I have been thrown out? Now I can only watch that bitch Qi Tianxiang come in." Palace banquet!"

Lian's heart felt sad when she heard the words, especially since she is the daughter of a first-rank member of the Shangshu Mansion, but she can only be an aunt.This is her heart disease all the time, but she was ridiculed by her own daughter straight to the point, how could she not be sad?
"Miss, how could you stab Madam like this? Madam has worked so hard to bring you up and suffered so much. Now you just accidentally lost power. You mocking your mother like this really chills this old slave... ..." Nanny Lan couldn't bear it, she stood up to defend Lian's injustice.

Tianjiao was startled, seeing Lianshi crying sadly, she felt guilty immediately.Walking over, she said with red eyes: "Mother, it's not good to be a spoiled child, I shouldn't have spread the fire on you!"

Lianshi hugged Qi Tianjiao, crying Yingying.

Sister Lan reminded: "Madam, don't be sad, there is still the old man..."

"Yes!" Lianshi gritted her teeth: "I still have a father! Don't worry Jiaoer, your grandfather will definitely help you!"

Three days passed in a flash. On this day, the station on the outskirts of the city.A sharp voice sounded: "Baby maid! Where is my phoenix dress?"

"Princess forgive me! When I went out, my servant put it in the box with my own hands, how could it disappear?" A maid said tremblingly.

"Open your dog eyes wide, let me find you!" The woman slapped her across the face and said fiercely.

A handsome man waved a beauty fan and said helplessly, "My Royal Sister, there is only a palace dress left, why are you fighting with a bunch of palace maids?"

The woman flattened her mouth: "Brother Emperor, if you don't have such a gorgeous palace attire when you come to Xijing this time, wouldn't you lose our Nanyue's face?"

Murong Zijin frowned and said: "Okay, wait until you go back, brother, let the Shang Palace Bureau make a few more sets for you!"

Murong Zishu was dissatisfied: "But brother emperor, if I enter the palace today to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Xijing, if I don't have a gorgeous dress, wouldn't I be compared to others?"

"Forget it, look carefully and help the princess find the skirt!" Murong Zijin ordered when she saw that it was still early.

After a while, I found the skirt in the box on the ground.Murong Zishu's eyes lit up: "Ah! I finally found it! Brother Huang, please wait for me first!"

Due to the status of Prince Murong Zijin and Princess Murong Zishu, Emperor Xijing asked King Yan Xia Yifei to come and welcome him.After all, Xia Yifei is the king of Yan and one of the four sons of the capital, so his identity is also suitable for the envoy of the South Vietnam Kingdom.

As for Xia Yixuan and the rest of the princes, they went to meet the envoys from other countries.
