frivolous princess

Chapter 193

The maid named Xun'er responded, and Concubine Liang said sadly, "A concubine who has been out of favor in the general's mansion for many years, also wants to talk about status and power in the palace? The prince of Chu is just relying on his mother's status." The eldest princess, a poor bastard who has nothing to do with the royal family. What his father did is enough to make him unable to stand up for the rest of his life. That little bitch is also naive, and she wants to rely on this person who has no real power. A man? What a joke! Do you think you can make a fortune by relying on that old hag? Don’t you even look at who the emperor’s eyes are always looking at?!”

"Thinking of that face is always disgusting!" Concubine Liang said, she couldn't help stroking her cheek, "What kind of formula did the old hag use to be as flawless as that little bitch? !Although her face is not as beautiful as mine, it still looks like the first time I saw her. Is it because of this that the old witch made the emperor often stay in her palace?"

The more Concubine Liang thought about it, the more she couldn't bear it, and instinctively wanted to lift that hand that was still being manicured.She pulled her hand suddenly, and the maid who manicured her armor blurted out in shock: "Your Majesty!"

However, Concubine Liang didn't notice it, she just caressed her face carelessly.Unexpectedly, the place where the armor was broken was not neatly trimmed, and there were still some small thorns.As soon as she touched her, she shaved her face.

She was so startled that she hurriedly lifted up that finger, pressed the scratched area with her palm, and shouted: "Bring the mirror!"

Xun'er hurriedly took out the Linghua mirror, Concubine Liang took the mirror to take a picture, there was already a red mark on the cheek that was scratched and hurt, and it was gradually swollen up.Concubine Liang shook her hands, and carefully touched the red and swollen place.

Xun'er said to the side: "Get some ice cubes!"

The maid who was manicured suddenly woke up, and hurriedly went to get the ice cubes.

Imperial Concubine Liang took the ice pack and applied it for a full cup of tea, but she couldn't stand the cold air, so she threw the ice pack aside and asked someone to fetch the Linghua mirror.

Seeing this, there was another frown between his eyebrows.

It turned out that although the swelling had gone down on the place where the ice pack had been applied, the makeup powder on it had been taken off because of too much water vapor.There are countless small spots on the place where the makeup has been removed.Although it is only the size of a sesame seed, it is densely packed!
"Xun'er!" Concubine Liang called impatiently, "When you go to the general's mansion tomorrow, by the way, ask about Shangguan Fuxue's face, what's going on! I don't believe it. It can be restored to its original state. There is no way to cure this little spot on Ben Gong’s face!"

When Shangguan Fuxue returned to the General's Mansion, the silhouette was already waiting at the door.Nangong Lieyan sent her off the car, and didn't say much to her, only promised to pick her up the next morning, even though the queen had said before that she would send someone to pick her up.

Seeing the carriage gradually drive away, Silhouette finally couldn't help but say: "Miss, Li Ya is back."

Shangguan Fuxue frowned, "Didn't the old lady and my father know?"

Silhouette looked calm, nodded and said: "That girl's head understands. When she returned to the General's Mansion, there was no disturbance. From the back door, she went directly to Xueyuan. Now, she is kneeling in the courtyard."

"Kneeling again?" Shangguan Fuxue was surprised, "She is persistent."

Shangguan Fuxue took two steps in a hurry, and asked her again: "Then did she say anything?"

Silhouette shook his head, "She didn't say anything, she didn't even ask about her family affairs. It seems that she doesn't know about us taking her mother into the mansion."

"I'm going to the palace tomorrow." Shangguan Fuxue gave her a hesitant look, then stopped, "I'm going for many days. It seems that I can't control the affairs of the palace. I think this matter, you Make up your mind. Find a way to punish her, and then throw her to Mother Su. Mother Su will know what to do with her. "

She hastily put down her words, and then parted ways with Silhouette. Silhouette went to Xueyuan, while she herself went to Xiuqinyuan of the old lady.

As soon as Fang entered, he communicated with the maids outside, and then heard the old lady shouting from inside: "But Xueer is back?"

Shangguan Fuxue responded and hurried in.

The old lady was getting up from the bed, Mother Su put on her coat and said with a smile: "The old lady is always thinking about the third lady entering the palace, and she can't even sleep well in the afternoon. She always asks if the third lady is back."

The old lady sat down on the couch with a smile, "Is it going well for entering the palace today?"

"Everything is going well." Shangguan Fuxue smiled lightly, which was the most reassuring, and the old lady couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, "You also know that your father is really embarrassing now, who is not staring at his hands? Military power, even the emperor has thought about taking back the military power. The reason why he didn't move is because he saw that our Shangguan family can still contain the Liang family. Once the Shangguan family loses its role in this aspect, our Shangguan family's good life will also be destroyed. It's over. If our Shangguan family doesn't have a decent plan at this time, by that day, this huge Shangguan family will collapse."

"Grandma, even if the emperor takes back the military power, according to father's previous achievements, the emperor should not treat us badly."

"That's a good word. But most of our Shangguan family members are people who can only spend a lot of money, but can't make money. If your father hands over the military power, he can still find a half-job in the court Forget it, if there is nothing, we old and young, young and old, can only sit and eat. No matter how big the Shangguan family is, how long can it last according to the expenses of these ladies and aunts? "

"Isn't there still the first room and the second room?"

The old lady sneered coldly, "Those two are useless? Our third house is 'one prospers and one loses all'. If the general's mansion collapses, the first house and the second house may not be able to survive. Besides, even the first house He Erfang can barely hold on, and when we scrape the foundation of our house clean, he will kick us away. Who can really care about whom?"

Shangguan Fuxue stopped talking now, the old lady made a lot of sense.In her previous life, she was used to seeing the cruelty of the world.Some people add icing on the cake today, but in the Ming Dynasty it may not be timely.She had also imagined the situation of the general's mansion declining before, but she didn't have such real worries as the old lady.It seems that compared to those disputes in the backyard, she still knows too little.

"Grandma, as long as Xue'er is here, our general's mansion will not collapse." Shangguan Fuxue laughed.

The old lady smiled and looked at her face carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt satisfied, "The empress is full of praise when she sees Xueer's face today, right?"

Shangguan Fuxue nodded, "The Empress wants me to stay in her palace for a few days."

The old lady lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "Is it for the Empress Dowager's birthday?"

"Yes. The empress promised to let me perform a dance at the empress dowager's birthday banquet."

"Then what dance do you want to dance?"

Shangguan Fuxue frowned and said: "I haven't thought about it yet. However, I heard that the Empress Dowager has always worshiped Buddha and has a very strong heart for Buddha. Maybe you can try Feitianwu."

"Fei Tianwu?" The old lady stared at her.

In her previous life, Shangguan Fuxue had seen the murals in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, and even watched the "Flying Dance" arranged by the song and dance troupe. The elegant, free and easy, light but romantic dance left a lasting impression on her. was deeply impressed.What's more, that kind of dance has a strong Buddhist color.

"I heard that in ancient myths and legends, there was a pair of fairy couples who were good at singing and dancing. They were inseparable and harmonious. They were absorbed by Buddhism and became the two gods of the eight gods of Tianlong. When they flew into the sky, their skirts fluttered. The appearance of flying is similar to dancing gracefully, so the believers arranged a dance based on it, which is called "Flying Dance." Shangguan Fuxue explained.

"Well, I seem to have heard of it before." The old lady said with a smile: "Just thinking about it, I think it's pretty good. If it can dance well, it will definitely satisfy the Queen Mother."

Shangguan Fuxue smiled, but did not answer.

The old lady said again: "I heard that when you came back yesterday, you took that Liya's mother into the house?"

"Yesterday on the road, I happened to see Li Ya's elder brother being beaten up on the side of the road because of his gambling debts. Her mother was still crying and begging on the side of the road because of her gambling debts. I took it."

"It's a good thing that you have such kindness, but our General's Mansion is not a place to take in people casually. If you can get rid of the money, let's get rid of the money. It doesn't make sense for our General's Mansion to keep her daughter because she works here. Come down and eat and live for free."

Seeing the behavior of the old lady, Shangguan Fuxue couldn't help being stunned for a while.The old lady has always been a compassionate person, she never thought that there would be such an unkind time.But thinking of her indifference and determination in Shangguan Miaoyu's matter, it is understandable.

Shangguan Fuxue said calmly: "Don't worry, grandma. Even if you don't tell me, I have no plans to ask her to live forever."

"It's good if you can think like this." The old lady said earnestly, "If I follow my hot temper, that little girl can't be kept. She helped that evil person to hide it before, but she came up with such a dirty way. I'm afraid she will It's not a clean body anymore! Staying here will only bring down the atmosphere in this mansion!"

Shangguan Fuxue didn't expect the old lady's attitude to be so tough, it seemed that Li Ya couldn't stay.She thought about it, Li Ya was already restless, if she kept it, she might not be worried.Still, good to send away.

"Her mother and daughter are either injured or sick. If they want to leave now, they will say that our General's Mansion is too unreasonable. When they recover almost, Xueer will send them away."

The old lady nodded, "It's not easy for the mother and daughter to find a suitable place for them. Apart from not being able to stay in the general's mansion, we won't treat them badly."

Shangguan Fuxue couldn't help but hooked her lips into a smile, "Just say grandma is a very kind person."

"Great kind person?" The old lady gave her a funny look, "You are going to live in the palace for a while, who will take care of the affairs in this mansion?"

There is no possibility for the eldest lady to take charge again, and it is useless for the eldest lady, let alone the remaining aunts and ladies.

This is a tricky thing.
