Chapter 172: Stranger
Soon, the news that Lin'an Shizi Yuwen Jingyan was arrested for hurting people, like the wings of a butterfly, spread throughout Kyoto in an instant.
Fu Li Luo leaned in front of the window with her eyebrows furrowed, the sunlight pouring in from outside the court hit her smooth and jade forehead steadily, her long eyelashes were slender, and the corners of her pink lips secretly concealed a happy smile.
It is said that Nayu Wen Jingyan hurt Murong Chuyu's life in a fit of anger, and with this alone, I am afraid that Murong Jingyu, who has always been domineering and protecting calves, will not easily spare him.
Now that Yuwen Jingyi is grounded in the East Palace, even if he doesn't make a move, then Dongyang Wang Yu Wenyong and Murong Jingyu will kill him sooner or later. Without Yuwen Jingyi's protection, Yuwen Jingyan, the son of Lin'an who was imprisoned, was the fish and meat under the knife, no matter how restless he was, he would end up with broken bones in the end.
Fu Liluo sneered in her heart, lazily brushed the green silk from the corners of her mouth, she turned her eyes and instructed Qiu Tang behind her: "Give me makeup." "Today is the day to go to the Wei Mansion for a banquet, and she can't be late.
Qiu Tang acted quickly, and helped her clean up after a while.
Cloud blue thin brocade gown, lined with lake blue palace silk skirt, with her graceful figure swaying, the poppies on the skirt rise and fall, the brilliance is very good-looking, she is already jade-like complexion, now cold and a little dressed up, it is really a swaying person can't take his eyes off.
"Miss is really good-looking, and she will compare all the female guests with a while. Manluo held the box of the gift-giving five-splendid Luan bird in her arms and looked at Fu Liluo with a smile.
Qiu Tang and Zhiye also stepped forward with a smile: "Miss's appearance is not comparable to the whole Beiyi, and it is certain to compare those female guests." ”
Fu Liluo smiled and walked out of the door: "Just count a few of you who are poor-mouthed, and you don't use these words to entertain me." ”
In the starry eyes, she had already gone out.
Wei Mansion Flower Garden Pavilion
Before lunchtime, the terrace near the water had already prepared melons, fruits and herbal tea to cool off.
It's summer, and the sun is wonderful.
The summer cicadas are silky, and the courtyard is not lively.
Several women dressed in pink and green clinged to fans, and cats caught butterflies in the flower beds in the courtyard against the big sun. There was a smile on everyone's face, and Zhu Shaoqing, who was only sitting on the chair of the Rose Palace, looked depressed.
The day before yesterday, her father came back helplessly and told him that her good sister, Her Royal Highness Zhu Shaosi, the crown princess who was confined to the East Palace, had hysteria in the grounding some time ago. For Zhu Shaoqing, this was originally very happy news. But then her father told her that he would try his best to wish Shaosi safety, and also said that she would dispel the idea of marrying the prince Yuwen Jingyi.
This made Zhu Shaoqing somewhat unwilling.
Father is really eccentric, he always thinks of Zhu Shaosi first about everything, and everything good is given to Fu Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter. didn't care about her as a concubine at all.
I wish Shaoqing a lot of hate!
Her beautiful eyes flickered, and a sinister smile spread out on her lips. beckoning to the personal maid beside him, Zhu Shaoqing darkened his beautiful eyes and whispered.
The maidservant bowed her waist and said yes, and then stepped forward.
"Qing'er, but you're not feeling well?" Yingying, a woman in a light purple thin shirt, stepped forward and touched Zhu Shaoqing's forehead with her onion-like fingertips, she smiled and approached Zhu Shaoqing's side: "Today is my sister's birthday, don't think about some unhappy things." ”
Zhu Shaoqing smiled and reached out to shake the woman's delicate and smooth wrist: "Sister Ming said yes." It's just that... My sister is still confined to the East Palace, and it is really unruly for me to put on such a feast. ”
The girl in light purple clothes is called Shangguan Mingruo, and she is the daughter of Shangguan Cong, the current household servant. When Zhu Shaoqing was young, he lived in his grandmother's house in Luozhou for a few years, and the two have been friends since then. Later, Zhu Shaoqing's mother, Mrs. Xiang, took Zhu Shaoqing to Kyoto, and the two parted for a few years. Nowadays, Shangguan Mingruo moved to Kyoto with his father's family, thinking of his friendship since childhood, and wishing Shaoqing's birthday banquet, she was the first to come to the banquet to celebrate.
Seeing Zhu Shaoqing's eyebrows frowning, knowing that she was annoyed for a while because her sister and princess were detained, Shangguan Mingruo persuaded herself: "Sister Qing'er still likes to worry as much as she did when she was a child, say something that my sister doesn't like to hear, the current fate of your sister and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is all her own fault! ”
Because of his indignation, Shangguan Mingruo's eyes were flushed.
She is a straight-hearted person, and seeing Zhu Shaoqing's appearance of being a mediocre person, Shangguan Mingruo really can't see it.
Zhu Shaoqing smiled, raised his hand to pinch Shangguan Mingruo's pink cheeks: "What Sister Ming said is very true! ”
Raising his eyes and inspecting the female guests among the flowers, Zhu Shaoqing pulled Shangguan Mingruo's hand sleeve and said, "Eh, why didn't Sister Yi'er come? Sister Ming didn't come from the Yongding Marquis Mansion? Why didn't Sister Yi'er come with you?"
Shangguan Mingruo's father, Shangguan Cong, is the elder brother of Shangguan Linyan, the mother of the Marquis of Yongding, and Shangguan Mingruo and Xuanyuan Yi are cousins. Shangguan Cong came to Kyoto early last month to take up his post, and the furnishings of the mansion have not yet been properly placed. So let Shangguan Mingruo live in the Yongding Marquis Mansion for a while now.
Seeing Zhu Shaoqing mention Xuanyuan Yi, Shangguan Mingruo's face condensed slightly, and then sighed and said: "Sister Yi'er has been in a trance recently, and she invited the imperial doctor to see her, saying that she was overthinking and emptying her spirit. Now that the daily decoction is hanging, I don't see her getting better. It was impossible to get her to come to the feast. At this moment, except for that General Dou who can make her happy, no matter how much others persuade her, it is in vain. Thinking of the delicate cousin who was becoming more and more depressed, Shangguan Mingruo couldn't stop feeling sad.
"Is Sister Yi'er so serious?"
Zhu Shaoqing was stunned, "The last time I saw her, she was in good spirits." I didn't think that I hadn't seen her for a month, but she was so sick!" Taking a sip of tea, Zhu Shaoqing said again: "Some time ago, I heard that Dou Xiaoyang wanted to cancel the marriage contract with Yi'er's sister, I just thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true?"
"Why don't you say that men in this world are the most ruthless!" Shangguan Mingruo had a sneer at the corner of his mouth, reached out and took the enamel teacup handed over by the maid and put it on the case, and raised his eyebrows again: "Sister Yi'er is not as good as the one in Otsuka Zaifu in terms of appearance and talent? ”
Zhu Shaoqing touched his handkerchief and smiled lightly, looked at the corridor door to the east, and said in a low voice: "I have seen the one in Otsuka Zaifu, but I'm afraid that if you really want to talk about it, Sister Yi'er is really not her opponent." Later, she will also come to the banquet, Sister Ming, please be patient, don't get into trouble with her! There are many female guests attending the banquet today, and you have to take care of her face. ”
Zhu Shaoqing said solemnly and gracefully, but what he said was implying that Shangguan Mingruo's concubine of the Otsuka Zaifu was powerful, and the meaning of provocation was very obvious.
But the first time she came to Kyoto, Miss Shangguan was a no-one, Shangguan Mingruo raised her eyebrows, and her previous face was half cold, "Sister Qing'er is afraid of what she will do, even if she stands in front of me, I don't say a word about it, I don't care about her face!"
Zhu Shaoqing's beautiful eyes flashed, and he only picked up the exquisite cup on the desk to eat tea....
Looking at the rendering of the white tea gas in the tea cup, Zhu Shaoqing unconsciously laughed secretly in his heart.
She was thinking about it, and saw a small girl outside coming back and forth: "Second Miss, the eldest lady of Otsuka Zaifu came to celebrate." ”
Zhu Shaoqing thought about it, and before she could stand up, she saw an elegant and slender girl coming in with her mother-in-law....
The person who came was Fu Liluo, who came to the banquet.
"Sister Ming..."Zhu Shaoqing raised his eyebrows and pulled Shangguan Mingruo, who was full of anger, "Let's go over and greet it!"
Shangguan Mingruo pursed his lips, looked away angrily, and scolded: "What kind of thing is she? Miss Ben didn't bother to greet her." ”
Na Na let go of Shangguan Mingruo's sleeves, Zhu Shaoqing touched the broken hair on his sideburns, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Miss Gu really has a heart, it's hard to run for you on this hot day, it's all mine." ”
said geekish words, but Zhu Shaoqing's narrow and beautiful eyes couldn't look through the stunning girl who slowly stepped forward.
The more carefully he looked at it, the more Zhu Shaoqing complained about God's injustice in his heart.
The girl standing in front of her with a light smile was not luxurious, but it was inexplicably eye-catching on her. This Otsuka Zai's concubine not only has the best appearance, but also her calm and dignified temperament and great talent, I am afraid that the entire Beiyi Kyoto will not be able to pick out the second one.
Fu Liluo glanced faintly at the resentful eyes that shot from the pavilion, and her peach blossom face was clear at the top. Holding the hairpin bone fan in the palm of his hand to cover the dazzling sunlight, Fu Liluo smiled at Zhu Shaoqing's blessing: "How can I not accept the post under Miss Zhu Er!"
After that, she signaled the mangrove behind her to send the brocade box, Fu Liluo reached out to take it, opened the lid of the box inlaid with gold thread, she casually picked up a red luan bite bead of the turquoise blood hairpin inside, in the sunlight, the blood hairpin body is emerald green, lined with the red jewelry of the whole body of the Luan bird and the embedded crystal clear pearl, the whole hairpin looks extraordinary.
Even Zhu Shaoqing, who was accustomed to seeing good things, also secretly smacked his tongue, raised his fingertips to caress the huge pearl, Zhu Shaoqing smiled and exclaimed: "Such a good blood hairpin, I really see it for the first time, Miss Gu is really hearted." ”
Fu Liluo put the blood hairpin into the brocade box, and sent it to Zhu Shaoqing with both hands, and said with a smile: "I wish Miss Er likes it." ”
"I like it, I like it! Such a rare and clear blood hairpin looks like a rare treasure. Zhu Shaoqing tightened the brocade box with a smile in his eyebrows, and gave Fu Liluo a blessing: "Since Miss Gu is so gracious, then I will accept it." Zhu Shaoqing said, and carefully handed the brocade box to the personal maid beside him, and did not forget to instruct at the end: "Be careful, don't bump it!"
The servant girl was busy bowing her waist and said yes, hitting the haunting flower door on the left side and going out.
Towards noon, the sun was brighter outside than before.
Seeing that Fu Li Luo's face was dripping with fine sweat, Zhu Shaoqing hurriedly instructed his mother-in-law: "Put a few more pots of ice cubes in the Accord in Qiuyan Hall, and we will go over later." ”
The mother-in-law should be, and she lifted her feet and led the order to go out.
"Miss Shen from the Earl's Mansion of Changxing and Miss Dou from the General's Mansion are here. ”
A maid with a long face came to report to Zhu Shaoqing.
Fu Liluo's shallow eyes moved slightly, and he turned to look at the winding blue brick path, Shen Huanbi, who was wearing a blue thin shirt and skirt, was coming with Dou Yuan, who was wearing a gauze green palace shirt. Shen Huanbi is almost the same as ordinary dress, only Dou Yuan suddenly wore a green palace dress, although the complex palace dress is delicate and elegant, but this color really does not match Dou Yuan's bright temperament.
When Fu Liluo stopped and groaned, Shen Huanbi unconsciously stepped up to her, "When did my sister come?"
"Not long after I came, my sister was most afraid of the heat, was the Xiaoyao Pill you gave you last time okay?" Fu Liluo smiled and raised his hand to pat the fine wadding stained on Shen Huanbi's back collar.
Shen Huanbi smiled and pulled Fu Liluo's arm: "That pill is really good, taking a pill on this big summer day, the whole person is much more comfortable." ”
"That's good, my sister will tell me when I'm done eating, and I'll prepare it for my sister again." Fu Li Luo's pear vortex is shallow, through the dazzling sunlight, she looked indifferently at Dou Yuan standing next to the stone pier of the pavilion, although she was half a zhang away, but she still saw Dou Yuan's pale complexion, pulled up her skirt, sighed, Fu Li Luo finally stepped forward to talk to her: "Sister Yuan'er's body is good?"
Her eyes flashed, Dou Yuan couldn't help but take a few steps back, flicked her sleeves, she looked displeased, and frowned in an unhappy tone: "Miss Xie Gu is worried, my body is fine." ”
The faint two sentences seemed to invade the ice, and there was no trace of temperature in the cold.
I have long known that Dou Yuan has this attitude, but Fu Li Luo did not blame her in his heart. She can understand that Dou Yuan ignores her like this, after all, that little daughter will eat anyone who wants to eat.
It's just that their sisters are strangers, and Fu Liluo feels a little painful in his heart.
