Forced marriage: ruffian king, I will not marry

Chapter 14
He murmured in thought, the ending lingering in his mouth for a long time.Looking forward, he saw Butler Fu running over in a panic.

"Third prince, what can I order from this old servant?"

There was a hint of fear on Fu Butler's face, even though he had been a housekeeper for ten years in the mansion, he was extremely careful in front of his master.

Pei Yan, the third prince of the Qianlong Kingdom, has made outstanding achievements at a young age, has a complicated and profound mind, and is even more violent. If he is not careful, his life will be endangered.

At this time, Pei Yan's face was normal, and he walked slowly to the table and sat down, asking in a normal voice, "How is the preparation of the list of books ordered by the crown prince?"

"Returning to the third prince, everything has been prepared. On the contrary, all the beautiful and high-ranking daughters of Qianlong Kingdom are on the list, and there are no omissions. We just have to wait for the banquet to be held as scheduled the next day."

"En." The third prince responded casually, and said: "One more person to go in, the third lady of the Shangguan family."

"This……"

Pei Yan quickly glanced at Butler Fu who hesitated to speak, "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid the third prince doesn't know about it. The third lady of Shangguan is notoriously ugly and frightening. She seldom shows up outside. For banquets like the Shufang Banquet, this old servant is afraid that she will scare the princes and nobles."

Butler Fu bit the bullet and explained that he didn't understand why the Third Prince suddenly cared about the Third Miss Shangguan.

"It's not your business, just add it."

"Yes." Seeing that the third prince's complexion had changed, Butler Fu didn't dare to say any more, and stepped back obediently.

On the second day, a new red invitation card plunged the entire Shangguan family into a noisy discussion.Who would have thought why this ugly and stupid Third Miss would suddenly be nominated to invite her to the Shu Fang Banquet?
Every year, the Shangguan family would receive invitations for the Shufang Banquet. The third lady was always automatically excluded, and the other three beautiful young ladies from the Shangguan family were invited. This time, after sending the invitations, they specially sent one to The third lady's invitation card contained a profound meaning that no one could figure out.

Shangguan Xi was the last one to know about this matter, and she was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect to bump into something related to the palace so soon, which means she was one step closer to Pei Ru's backyard.Since she had to face it sooner or later, she naturally didn't think the situation came too early, and she was faintly excited.

The happiest thing about the invitation was Xi Xiao. She was calm and excited all day long, excitedly rummaging through the room to help Shangguan Xi find clothes that could catch her eyes, thinking about what she would do tomorrow It's good to dress up her lady.

Shangguan Xi really couldn't see it, so he stopped her and said, "You don't need to look for it, someone will arrange the clothes."

"Huh? Miss, you mean someone will send clothes over?"

Xi Xiao didn't understand what it meant, but she also gave up the idea of ​​finding good-looking clothes. Miss's clothes were all old-fashioned and shabby styles. If she wore them to the palace banquet, she would definitely be laughed at. She felt a little sour.

In the afternoon, Butler Wang really asked her to go to Jinxiu Pavilion to pick up her clothes. Xi Xiao was so overjoyed that she trotted away.

Jinxiu Pavilion is the most popular embroidery shop in Gancheng. It not only has various styles, fine workmanship, and exquisite fabrics, but also has imperial concubines as frequent customers. clothes.And Jinxiu Pavilion is the property of Shangguan's family, how could it not be happy to be able to get a set of clothes for her young lady at this time!

It wasn't until dark that Shangguan Xi saw the mournful Xi Xiao come back holding a burden with a sullen expression on her face. She raised her eyebrows, "What happened?"

"Miss." Xi Xiao looked up at Shang Guanxi, but there were already tears in her eyes, "Wuwu, it's Xi Xiao who is useless. I didn't protect Miss's clothes. I was already very careful, but I still bumped into him when I came back." The second miss, the second miss said a lot of bad things about the young lady, and then ordered people to tear off the young lady's clothes. I tried my best to protect her, but I let them make several holes..."

Shangguanxi frowned, and took the clothes from her hand. There were indeed several messy and uneven tears in the goose yellow dress, but fortunately, the fabric was made of high-quality snow brocade, which did not attract dust.

Looking at Xixiao's hands, there are bruises and bruises, probably because she was injured to protect her clothes.A trace of helplessness flashed across Shangguan Xi's face, and he said, "Don't cry, the clothes are still usable."

Xixiao stopped crying and looked at Shangguanxi with ignorant eyes.

Shangguan Xi didn't speak, and went directly to find a sewing basket, walked to the light in front of the table, and threaded light-colored thread through the clothes thinly.

Xi Xiao was stunned for a while before she walked over suspiciously to look at the clothes in Shangguan Xi's hands, only to see that the original hole was miraculously transformed into a lifelike Linghua, the petals fluttered, as if accompanied by the wind, pink and white. The stamens match beautifully with the goose yellow clothes.

In just a moment, the holes in the clothes were patched up, the hollowed-out pattern was so exquisite that even the most dexterous embroiderer in Gancheng could not do it, Xi Xiao looked at Shangguan Xi with shining eyes.

"Miss, when did you learn such an exquisite needle technique?"

Shangguan Xi unfolded her skirt, nodded in satisfaction, but when she heard Xi Xiao's question, her complexion froze, her throat paused, and she said, "I learned it by accident."

Xi Xiao didn't care, just took the skirt over, appreciating and stroking it excitedly.

Under the light, Shangguan Xi's eyes were a little dazed.

How could it be unintentional?I still remember that at that time, she was excited to marry the perfect husband in her heart, and prepared the dowry for herself. Of course, she didn't pay much attention to ordinary gold and silver, so she found the most dexterous master to learn this stitch, and spent a whole day In March, I embroidered two of the most gorgeous wedding dresses in the world.Embroidery thread is just the simplest.

"Miss San? Miss San, are you asleep?"

The shouting outside brought Shangguan Xi back to his senses, looking outside, Xixia had already heard the voice and went to open the door.She was puzzled, wondering who else would come to the door at this time.

The door opened, and two figures gradually approached in the darkness. A maidservant led the way with a lantern. The person behind was covered in a black cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly, but from the slow pace and thin shoulders, it could be seen that it was a man. older woman.

While she was observing quietly, the two had already walked into the room, seeing Xi Xiaoxixia's slightly surprised but immediately understood expression, she vaguely guessed who it was.

"Xi'er."

The woman took off her cloak and hat, revealing a beautiful face with a bit of vicissitudes, her voice was hoarse with excitement.Under the black cloak, the woman's off-white robe was exposed, which was the attire of a nun.

This is Shangguan Xi's mother, Liu Xuewei, the third aunt in the mansion.

Shangguan Xi put on a smile on his face, "It's so late, I don't know what is the important thing for mother to come?"
