and relatives

Chapter 60 Banquet 12
Originally he was the Seventh Prince of Da Zhou, with a noble status, but he wanted to come to Da Qi to be a hostage. He was far away from his hometown and relatives. He must have been bullied in Da Qi, and there was no way he could become as cruel as he is now. thing.

Her hands are still clean, no innocent blood has been shed, and she hopes that she can continue like this forever.Keep your family safe...

When she studied medicine, she just wanted to be able to use it and treat more people.

Xuejiao nodded, "I see, you will be my man from now on, and you don't have to be ordered by the Seventh Prince anymore. If he dares to take you under the knife, I will fight him to the death! If you have someone you like, tell me Me, I call the shots for you!"

After getting along these days, she felt that Xuejiao was also a hard-working person, and finally understood why her eyes were always so cold!
Piao Wu nodded, "Thank you girl,"

On the surface, Piao Wu didn't have any emotions, but she was very grateful in her heart.

She felt that she had lived three times in her life.

The first time was given by my parents, but unfortunately my parents lost their lives because of natural disasters before I repaid it.

The second time when she was 12 years old, she was raped by the Seventh Prince, and she worked hard for the Seventh Prince,
Until recently, she felt that she had lived again, that she could live freely and freely.

After returning home, Xuejiao packed her things and started making medicine.

When Xuejiao was making medicine, she didn't like anyone to interfere with her.I saw her grinding the pearls, and after grinding the pearls, she ground them finely with a small millstone.Aside from the rules of etiquette in the palace, she would make medicine whenever she had time.

In this way, I couldn't rest well every day. On the fourth day, the medicine was made, and I found a jade box and put the ointments away one by one.

I also met that purple-clothed man twice, but I don't even know the purple-clothed man's name.And from the beginning, the man in purple was looking for him here, so why did he look for him?What is the identity of this person?

In order to avoid embarrassment, Xuejiao sent everyone to rest this day.

She was sitting in the room reading a book, but she waited left and right, but she couldn't wait for him.

Xuejiao put down the book, a little puzzled, it was already so late, could the man in purple be busy and unable to come?
Still forgot about today...

She was still thinking, when she saw a figure outside the window.

"I'm late today because I have something to do, didn't I wait too late?" A male voice came, which Xuejiao had heard before, it was the man in purple.Looking up, it turned out that it was really him. The scars on his face had healed a lot, and there was a seductive look on his face.

That's right, it's seductive.A man looks so seductive, and his skin care is much better than his own.

Xuejiao smiled, "It's okay," and then took out a wooden box with a green jade box and three white stone boxes on it. "The green box is the softening ointment. Remember to apply it once a day for ten days, and dip a veil into the ointment. Never use your hands."

Then Xuejiao pointed to the white stone box again, "You have seen this one too. After ten days, use the medicine in this white stone box twice a day. I don't know the extent of this person's scars. If it is not enough, come to me to get it."

The man in purple picked up the box, "Thank you"

Xuejiao smiled, "Don't forget that you still owe me a condition. Although you gave me Zilongyu, you haven't told me yet. How can I find you? What's your name?"

The man in purple smiled and said, "I am the third eldest at home, so you call me the third master. As for looking for me... I am not from Daqi. In Daqi, you should go to the seventh prince of Dazhou. In Dazhou, you should go to Dazhou." The biggest brothel is."

Xuejiao nodded, it turned out that this person knew Gao Xuanxiao.

"okay, I get it."

Then the man in purple smiled and left directly.

Xuejiao closed the door and began to comb her hair by herself.That third master really didn't look like a master, so he smiled and took off the hairpin on his head.

She looked at another box on the dresser, this one she was going to give to the masked man.

I don't know if he will believe in himself like that third master?
It's really strange between people. Some people feel kind to you as soon as you meet them, and you don't need to be in love for a long time.Just like Piao Wu, Xuejiao has felt that this person is trustworthy ever since.

But when you meet some people, you feel scared, and you don't need to be too scary, such as... Gao Xuanxiao...

As soon as she saw him, she felt terrible. This man was very evil, and no one could guess what he was thinking?
But sometimes, I feel that he still protects me very much, just like last time, he saved my life!

Banquet 7
On this day, the [-]th birthday of Emperor Daqi, Xuejiao woke up at five o'clock to put on her clothes. The clothes were the palace clothes prepared by Mrs. Meng herself. As a sign of her kindness, Xuejiao purposely put on the white jade bu yao bestowed by the emperor, after all, she is still in filial piety, so it is not appropriate to wear it too ostentatiously, and the color is only light.According to the rules, Xuejiao should also wear a set of headgear, but the headgear is all with gem beads, which looks too expensive and gorgeous, so Xuejiao didn't wear it at all.

Seeing Xuejiao's appearance like this, Mrs. Meng hated iron for being weak, "This is the emperor's birthday banquet, even if you have to mourn, you have to dress brightly,"

Mrs. Meng took the Huasheng from Xuejiao's dressing table and put it on her head. The white jade bud was also a set of five, and Mrs. Meng took another one and stuck it in her hair.

He looked at Xuejiao again, and then he gave up!
Mrs. Meng sent Xuejiao to sit in the sedan chair, and told Xuejiao before leaving, "You are the only one in our family who can go, so I will send you to the third prince's residence first. Yujiao is your older sister, so I have someone to take care of me."

Xuejiao nodded, Meng Shi said this yesterday.

"Mother, don't worry, if there are no accidents, my daughter should be back after dark."

Mrs. Meng nodded and put down the curtain of the sedan chair, while Yingge beside her said, "Get up the sedan chair!"

Xuejiao was sitting in the sedan chair. If Yuejiao was more arrogant and willful, then Yujiao couldn't see the truth. She preferred to play tricks behind her back.

When you meet Yuejiao, Xuejiao knows what she's thinking, but you can't tell Yujiao, and besides, you haven't seen her for such a long time.

When Xuejiao arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion, she didn't go in, she just waited in the sedan chair.

It took nearly two sticks of incense before Yingge opened the sedan chair curtain and said, "Girl, the third prince and concubine are coming out soon."

Xuejiao nodded and walked out without saying a word.

Walking to the door, I saw a man in a blue robe leading a woman in a light blue palace dress, Yingge whispered in Xuejiao's ear, "This man is the third prince, and the one next to him is not a big girl. "

This third prince is gentle and gentle, and the woman looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, but the two of them are dressed in the same set, both in blue.Xuejiao looked back, and saw another person coming out, dressed in rose color, wearing golden jewelry on his head, very graceful and luxurious.

Yingge said again, "This rose-colored dress is a big girl."

Xuejiao nodded, and then saluted, "My daughter Xuejiao has seen the third prince and the third imperial concubine."

The third prince waved his hand, "Get up."

Only then did Xuejiao get up, and the third prince saw Xuejiao's appearance clearly, and then let go of the hand of the woman beside her.

"You're welcome in the future, we are all family."

Xuejiao nodded but didn't speak, Yujiao's appearance was the same as Yuejiao's, both of them were bright people, they walked quickly and took Xuejiao's hand, "Third sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have grown a lot taller too. "

Xuejiao lowered her head, "Eldest sister is also more beautiful than before."

But the woman who followed the third prince did not speak.

Yujiao took the initiative to introduce, "This is the third prince's side concubine, Feng side concubine."

Xuejiao nodded, slightly nodded, it was a salute, this side concubine was originally a concubine's room, even if she was favored, Xuejiao was also a princess, so she didn't need to salute to the side concubine.

Banquet 8
The side concubine was quite decent, she nodded slightly to show her understanding.

The third prince said: "It's getting late, I still have to go to court, let's go first."

Yujiao nodded, "Yes, sir."

Yuejiao helped Yujiao into the sedan chair and then walked to her own sedan chair. She got into the sedan chair and left without ordering.

When they got to the gate, the guards who guarded them asked, and they heard that these people belonged to the Third Prince's Mansion, so they let them go.

Xuejiao didn't know these things.

Going forward, there is the second door, Xuejiao got out of the sedan chair, and looked around.

At this time, the sky was already bright, Xuejiao looked at the surrounding walls, they were ridiculously high.

Seeing Yujiao getting off the sedan chair, Xuejiao hurriedly followed.

Soon a little eunuch trotted over.

"Slave, Xiao Dezi, is the eunuch in the empress's palace, here to guide the third concubine and side concubine."

Yujiao nodded and waved her hands, "Thank you, father-in-law." Xuejiao entered the palace for the first time, and she was a little unfamiliar, so she didn't ask.Just listen quietly.

Because it is autumn, there are many chrysanthemums in the palace, and the chrysanthemums are very beautiful.

With nearly a stick of incense time, he walked outside a palace.

"Third Princess, we are here."

Yujiao nodded, "Thank you, Father-in-law," and then looked at the waiter beside him, who took out a piece of silver as a reward for the father-in-law.

As expected of the eldest daughter of Marquis Dingyuan, her eldest sister has always been well behaved.

Of course, maybe it's just on the surface.

Entered the queen's palace, but did not enter the palace, but found a seat outside.

Xuejiao looked at the people in the queen's palace, they were all black and white, not to mention how many maids there were, even the masters couldn't count them.

Some are concubines, some are princesses, some are princes and concubines, etc...

Today is the emperor's birthday, but not everyone can come.

Just like these harem concubines, those who come are only favored.

Of course, these are just what Yujiao said beside her.

Yujiao babbled on like this for a long time, Xuejiao remembered something, and asked: "I remember the emperor pointed out the marriage to eldest brother, who is the current twelve princesses."

Yujiao nodded, "Princess Twelve is the daughter of Concubine Chun, look..."

Seeing Yujiao's eyes, Xuejiao also looked over.

The twelve princesses are nearly seventeen this year, and they look very good, but they don't know what their temperament is.

"I heard that the emperor dotes on these twelve princesses very much, and also talked to me. Some are delicate, some are arrogant."

Xuejiao nodded, "After all, she is the emperor's favorite jewel, and her status is different!"

Yujiao disagreed, so she didn't answer her either.

But after all, she is a princess, so it's not easy to talk about it.

Just waited in the Queen's Palace for nearly an hour.The queen came out slowly.

Yujiao got up immediately, and Xuejiao followed suit.

Everyone immediately went forward to salute.

"May the queen be blessed and safe!"

The queen waved her hand, "Get up!"

Everyone got up.

Xuejiao now has an idea, with so many people, who will have the time to see if your salute is in compliance with the rules?

I practiced the rules for so long before, but now I feel a little overqualified.

The empress looks about 50 years old, dressed in golden yellow, with many gold hairpins and hairpins on her head.

Xuejiao felt distressed, how heavy it was, it was all gold!

Banquet 9
Only then did the queen say, "Today is the emperor's birthday, in Guangyuan Building, everyone will come with me in a while."

Everyone cupped their hands, "Yes."

After talking about the public on the side, everyone packed up and went to Guangyuan Building.

Xuejiao was different from the Queen, they had no sedan chair to sit in, so they had to walk over.

When they arrived at Guangyuan Tower, everyone took their seats, waiting for the emperor to come.

Just waited another hour.

Xuejiao was a bit bored, she didn't know anyone here except Yujiao.The two greet each other.

"Big sister, how is the third prince treating you?"

Yujiao sighed, "Didn't you see it when you first came? I am the third prince's concubine appointed by the emperor, and he has no choice but to marry her, but side concubine Feng is the third prince's favorite."

Xuejiao nodded, and looked again, Feng Fangfei sat behind Yujiao because of her different status.The two of them spoke in low voices again, which could not be heard at such a distance.

"So that's the case! It seems that the Prince's Mansion is not easy to enter."

Yujiao smiled, "Like our children of the Hou family, they either marry the royal nobles or join the Hou's mansion. It's not just the case in the prince's mansion, even the Hou's mansion. Parents' order and matchmaker's words!"

Xuejiao nodded, if it's just the words of the matchmaker's parents, then that's fine, at worst, she'll hide on Crescent Moon Mountain and never go down for the rest of her life.But it was the emperor's finger marriage, she had no right to choose, Dingyuanhou's mansion was originally a military marquis, and the emperor always tabooed too much military power.If she doesn't marry, or escapes marriage, even if she faints to death, it will bring disaster to the family.

"So you can't expect love, and you can't be jealous. Big sister, I understand."

Yujiao nodded, "Maybe Dad doesn't know, that Da Zhou's son has many beauties in his family, and there is also a side concubine on the roster in Da Zhou, but he has no heirs yet."

Xuejiao was a little startled when she heard this, the beauty here in Daqi can be said to be acting, so what about the side concubine in Dazhou?

There should be no need to act in Da Zhou...

Could it be that she is his true love like her elder brother-in-law and the third prince?

"Is my sister telling the truth?"

Yujiao nodded, "Yes, I already knew about this matter. The queen mentioned it when she asked me to discuss marriage. There is a side concubine in his mansion. As for the concubine who didn't go to Yudie, it's just Not sure if there are any. But seeing that he loves beauty so much in Daqi, there must be a lot of concubines in Dazhou."

Xuejiao nodded, but did not speak.

Yujiao saw that Xuejiao was in a bad mood when she heard this.Then she persuaded her a few more words, "Third sister, you must look away from such things, let alone a side concubine, in the future there will be all kinds of people around him, and it is impossible to be jealous. The one who is angry is still himself. A man's love is always something you can't meet. Seriously, the one who suffers is yourself."

Xuejiao nodded and smiled, "Thank you sister, I know everything."

Yujiao patted her hand and said nothing.Then he looked at the door, and all the people who came in this time were princes and princes.

According to seniority, those princes and concubines are in the first row.The third prince came in and glanced at Concubine Feng at the back, but did not go to Concubine Feng.

Banquet 10
The third prince came to Yujiao's table, and said flatly, "It seems that this banquet is not easy."

Yujiao was curious, "Master, how do you say that?"

The third prince sat down and said, "Today it's not just us, the prince also came back to celebrate Father's birthday on Wednesday."

Yujiao was curious, "Prince Da Wednesday? What is he doing here?"

The third prince shook his head, "I'm not sure, but I don't think so!"

Xuejiao was also a little curious, what is the prince doing here this week?Is it as simple as celebrating a birthday?This excuse is too forced.

Xuejiao didn't think much, and saw another person coming at the door.

Behind him was a man in purple who was pushing a wheelchair, and the scars on his face were gone.

The one sitting in the wheelchair was Gao Xuanxiao.

Xuejiao glanced at it, then lowered her head and didn't care.

After taking a sip of water, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked up again.

Isn't that purple-clothed man the third eldest at home, who Xuejiao called him the third master?
The man in purple looked at Xuejiao with shocked eyes.

Didn't it mean that no one came to Dingyuanhou's mansion except Yun Xuejiao?

Why is this person sitting here...

The man in purple stopped, and the little eunuch at the side said, "This is it,"

Xuejiao looked at the place where the little eunuch pointed out, which was the seat next to Xuejiao.

It's no wonder that this place has been vacant just now, so this seat belongs to Gao Xuanxiao!

Xuejiao held her forehead, turned her head to Yujiao and said, "Big sister, it's a little stuffy here, I'll go out to catch my breath."

Yujiao nodded, "Don't go far."

Xuejiao nodded, and then pulled Yingge out behind her.

Gao Xuanxiao who just took his seat was a little puzzled. "Why are you going?"

Xuejiao said perfunctorily, "I'm going out for a while,"

After going out, Yingge at the side followed Xuejiao who was walking faster.

What the man in purple was curious about was that his seventh younger brother actually talked to this woman and reacted.

This month, Yuejiao is his future sister-in-law, so it's okay to say a word.

Just why do you suddenly feel a little cold?He glanced at Gao Xuanxiao, his younger brother seemed to be in a bad mood.

His eyes were murderous, and even his hands were tightly held.

Xuejiao who went out wiped her face with a handkerchief, Yingge saw something and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Xuejiao took a look at Yingge: "Do you remember what the eldest lady said just now, the prince came here to celebrate the emperor's birthday on Wednesday?"

Yingge nodded, "I heard that."

Xuejiao was thoughtful, it seems that this third master is that big Wednesday prince.

It may also be because of this that I went over the wall to find myself for the first time.

After taking a deep breath, he dragged Yingge back again.

Although Yingge didn't know what happened to Xuejiao, it was best not to ask about the master's affairs.

Then she went in with Xuejiao.

Everyone inside is talking, so lively.

Xuejiao passed by Prince Da Wednesday, and jokingly said, "Why are you here today? Did you come with your sister?"

Xuejiao looked at the man in purple, but didn't speak.

Gao Xuanxiao on the side said, "What sister? If I remember correctly, Xuejiao is the youngest daughter of Marquis Dingyuan!"

Seeing the lie exposed, Xuejiao smiled.

Nodded, "My daughter Xuejiao has met His Highness the Third Prince."

Banquet 11
Prince Da Zhou suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Are you Yun Xuejiao?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone heard it and looked here.Xuejiao complained in her heart that she should be damned, but she still respectfully said "Yes!"

Seeing others looking here, he was also embarrassed, and sat down awkwardly.

Seeing that everyone stopped looking here, Xuejiao continued to whisper, "You still owe me a condition, remember to pay it back!"

The man in purple touched his ears, "Oh, I always remember, don't worry"

Xuejiao nodded and smiled, before returning to her seat, she heard the father-in-law outside shouting: "The emperor is here!"

Everyone got up and walked to the table.When the person in bright yellow clothes came in, everyone saluted.

"My ministers, see your Majesty."

The emperor walked to his seat and said, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xuejiao got up, and after the emperor sat down, everyone sat down.

Only now can Xuejiao take a closer look at the emperor.

Today is his 60th birthday. His appearance is plain, his hair is gray, but his eyes are very bright.The momentum is even more different from ordinary people.

It makes people feel awe, but also makes people feel unfathomable.

The emperor immediately glanced at everyone.

The big Wednesday prince stepped forward.

"Today is Emperor Qi's birthday. On behalf of Emperor Father, I wish Emperor Qi a long and boundless life!"

Immediately, a servant came with a gift.

It stands to reason that these things were given directly to the eunuch, and the eunuch kept them.

Just like Dingyuanhou's Mansion, although no one came, the things were delivered early.

But after all, he represents Da Zhou, different from others.

I saw that Prince Da Zhou's servant brought a bow.

This bow looks very gorgeous.

"Thank you, Third Prince, I like it very much."

The man in purple nodded slightly and sat down in his seat.

The empress was originally sitting beside the emperor, but when she got up, everyone got up and stood behind the empress.

He made another salute, "I wish Your Majesty good health and longevity forever."

The emperor laughed out loud, "Hahaha...get up."

Everyone stood up and returned to their seats.

Only then did the maids serve the food and wine.

Then there was singing and dancing.

The emperor chatted with his concubines and the prince, while the others ate and drank.

How dare she drink on such an occasion.

After eating some dishes, I felt a little full, so I put down my chopsticks.

Gao Xuanxiao was a little too quiet today, and he wouldn't just eat his own food without saying anything.I don't know which tendon is wrong, the whole person is just eating.

Xuejiao took a sip of tea and called Piaowu over.

Piao Wu lowered her head slightly, "Young lady, do you have any orders?"

Xuejiao said, "Bring me the box I brought."

Piaowu nodded.Just went out alone.

On the contrary, Yujiao was a little curious: "Third sister, do you know that big prince on Wednesday?"

Xuejiao shook her head, "I don't know, what's wrong big sister."

"It is rumored that the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty is facing the wind in Yushu, and he has a good appearance. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation. He is really a handsome man."

Xuejiao didn't say a word, but she felt that the shemale was a monster, she looked like a woman, but she had the aura of a real man.

Banquet 12
Xuejiao smiled, "Well, big sister, is it really okay for you to say that? Are you not afraid that the Third Prince will hear it?"

Yujiao shook her head, only then did Xuejiao realize that the third prince, her brother-in-law, had run to the back row, talking to Concubine Feng.

It turned out to be the case.

Xuejiao has always found Yujiao difficult to get along with. After returning this time, she feels that she is a little different from before...

Could it be that there was less contact before?Or was there something in the words, but I just didn't hear it?

At this time, the emperor took a sip of wine, and he didn't know whether it was out of interest or something else, and said, "Is Princess Xue here?"

Before Xuejiao left, she realized that she was calling herself. After all, few people called her Princess Xue.

On the other hand, Gao Xuanxiao squeezed Xuejiao's arm fiercely, and said softly, "The emperor is calling you!"

Only then did Xuejiao raise her head, and seeing that everyone was quiet, Yujiao who was beside her also looked at her anxiously.

Xuejiao immediately stood up and walked forward.

After saluting, she said: "My daughter, Yun Xuejiao, sees the emperor and the empress. May the emperor be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than Nanshan!"

The emperor glanced at the people below, "raise your head."

Xuejiao didn't understand, since it wasn't the emperor who chose the concubine, why did she still raise her head? ?

But he didn't dare to refute, he knelt on the ground, raised his head, but didn't look at the emperor's face.

I only saw the emperor and smiled, "Seventh Prince, this is the Seventh Concubine I pointed to you."

At this time, I only heard the sound of the wheels of the wheelchair moving behind me.

"Back to Emperor Qi, as long as she doesn't dislike Xuan Xiao's incomplete body. And I heard that Mr. Tao Xiang said that she is a strange woman. It is Xuan Xiao's blessing that Xuan Xiao can marry her."

Strange woman? ?

Xuejiao remembered that Yinzi had said so, but how did he know?
"Oh? I've seen that kid too, and he's working in the Ministry of Rites now."

Gao Xuanxiao was not talking, but the queen said: "This is really a golden and jade match! Look at me, it's a match made in heaven."

Xuejiao is uncomfortable, what kind of golden and jade marriage?What a match made in heaven?Gao Xuanxiao is wearing a mask, how can he tell if he is worthy or not?

However, this sentence sounds very useful to the emperor.

"really!"

At this time Yujiao said, "Father, my little sister has always been shy, so I'm afraid she will be ashamed to say so."

The emperor glanced at Yujiao, "Hahaha, I was negligent. Get up!"

Xuejiao kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then he got up and returned to his seat, and Gao Xuanxiao also returned to his seat.

Returning to her seat, Xuejiao glanced at Yujiao, "Thank you, big sister!"

Yujiao shook her head, "I...I made you marry him in the end, and I don't know if you can come back after you marry Da Zhou. Your whole life was ruined by me. I thought you would blame me..."

Xuejiao lowered her head, "It's a foregone conclusion, how could Xuejiao dare to blame?"

Yujiao nodded, and Xuejiao finally understood why Yujiao was so attentive and treated her differently from the beginning?
Thinking about it, if it wasn't for her, I might still be free in Crescent Mountain!
Instead of being booked at a young age, Xuejiao drank a sip of wine.

some uncomfortable...

For a long time, the conversation between the two of them was heard by Gao Xuanxiao.

His ears have always been sensitive, and he can hear when he stops carefully.

Seeing that Xuejiao looked a little lonely, I felt very sad.
