"Ziyan, did you just see the two of them talking in a corner of the garden?"

The fourth lady, Gu Yuanqin, was sitting on the big kang by the window in the east wing of the Agarwood Courtyard, lying on her back, with a green mask on her face, and after listening to the report of Ziyan, she couldn't lie down anymore, and sat up with a "rub".

"Miss, don't move. Ziyan hurriedly walked over to help her, "Miss, this herb mask was begged for by the slave maid through an acquaintance in the capital, and it brought together nearly a hundred kinds of precious herbs, which is very rare." The aunt in the palace said that you can't talk loudly, laugh, or get angry when you put it on, and if the young lady says something like this, she will lose all her efforts. ”

The fourth lady touched her face with her hand, although she felt very uncomfortable, but when she thought of her face, she still took a breath and let Ziyan help her lie down.

In a few days, it will be the birthday of the concubine, if she doesn't make this face of herself, it will really be "faceless".

After being grounded for more than ten days, she has always been pampered. The food was full of scraps, not to mention the cold, and even the wormwood that smoked mosquitoes was not allowed to be brought in. It was summer, and there were many mosquitoes, and she was bitten out of several large bags on her face by those poisonous mosquitoes, which finally faded away, leaving some traces on her face. This made her very anxious, and spent a lot of money to dredge up the relationship in the palace, begging for a prescription to remove marks and beautify her face, and lying motionless on the kang for several days to apply a mask, just to show everyone the most beautiful makeup on the day of the concubine's birthday.

Of course, the most important thing is to show that person.

"What did they say?" the fourth lady was repeatedly suppressed, but there was still an evil fire running around in her heart.

Ziyan shook her head: "The slave maid only heard a thin voice when she passed by the moon cave gate in the garden, so she glanced inside and saw the second miss holding hands with the second miss, talking on one side of the garden. The slave was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't dare to look at it any more, and she didn't dare to stay longer, so she hurried back to report to the young lady. ”

"Useless thing!" said the fourth lady angrily.

With his toes, he could think that Gu Xiaoer and Gu Xiaowu must be united. What she just didn't expect was that Gu Xiaowu was such a flexible person, and he actually found the right direction at once and leaned towards the big tree in the big house.

"This Gu Xiaowu, I really underestimated her. The fourth lady said hatefully.

Ziyan echoed: "Miss, it seems that Gu Xiaowu is really not simple. The slave guessed that she might have done the thing that sent the flowers in the morning. ”

The fourth lady turned her head: "You mean, Gu Xiaowu would rather not be the crown princess than please Gu Xiaoer?"

Ziyan nodded and said: "At the beginning, the slave maid was only suspicious, and she was not very sure, but now that she sees that the fifth miss and the second miss are so close, everything is easy to explain." The slave maid thought that the fifth lady must have told the second miss in advance that she would give up the position of the crown princess, and the second miss would help her contact the Lu Mansion and facilitate her relationship with the princess Lu......"

The fourth lady interrupted her: "Gu Xiaowu is a wishful thinking, but will I let her succeed?"

Ziyan raised her head and said puzzledly: "Miss doesn't want the fifth lady to marry into the Ning'an Hou Mansion?"

The fourth young lady snorted coldly: "Is she worthy of marrying into the Ning'an Hou Mansion? A businessman's daughter is also thinking about climbing high! In my opinion, she is almost the same as marrying a widower!"

Ziyan's eyes lit up: "Miss, have you got a good idea?"

The fourth lady smiled slightly: "Didn't the prince say before, let me take full charge of this matter, go to his trouble, he has a heavy reward for me." It is not only the prince's trust, but also a good opportunity to do what he likes, how could I miss it? In the future, Gu Xiaowu's unjust soul will not come to me, this is not what I meant, but the prince does not want her. ”

Ziyan looked around, lowered her voice and said, "What is Miss going to do?"

The fourth lady pondered for a moment, and then said: "This thing can't be done in the mansion, one is easy to be noticed by the old lady, and the other is damaged to my reputation." I thought about it, so I decided to do it on the day of the concubine's birthday. ”

Ziyan was surprised that her young lady would choose to do it in the palace, you must know that the palace has always been heavily guarded. However, she saw that the fourth lady looked confident, and she also knew her own young lady's temperament, and she was not ten percent sure, so she would never have this expression, so she said, "Then what will the slave do next?"

The fourth lady motioned for Ziyan to go to the Duobao Pavilion on the side, pulled out a drawer on the lowest level, and pulled out a letter.

"You send this letter to Yangliu Village, the third to the penultimate courtyard at the end of the village, find a person who is called a martial artist, and hand it over to him with your own hands. The fourth lady commanded.

"Who is Shangwu?" Ziyan was inexplicable, she had never heard the fourth lady mention this name.

The fourth lady didn't seem to want to say more, so she only said lightly: "I'll let you go to him, you just go." Remember, just give the letter directly to him, just say that I asked him to do things, and nothing else, and seal a hundred taels of silver to him. ”

Ziyan agreed suspiciously, she didn't know what the fourth lady was going to do with that person, and she always felt that sealing a hundred taels of silver to him seemed to be a bit much.

About half an hour later, Ziyan returned. He seemed to be a little embarrassed when he came back, his face was red, and he was panting, as if he had been chased and fled.

The fourth lady glanced at her, very satisfied with her expression, and said lightly: "The letter was delivered?"

Ziyan gasped and nodded, with a look of horror in her eyes. She looked at the fourth young lady and stopped talking.

What kind of people did my own young lady know, I found that family, said that I was looking for Shangwu, and immediately came out a person who was angry, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at himself, if he didn't report the name of the fourth lady in time, and then stuffed him with the one hundred taels of silver, I was afraid that his hairy hands would be beckoned to him.

"Scared?" the fourth lady smiled indifferently, "Didn't I say that you should come back as soon as you finish delivering the letter?" ”

"Miss, how could you have a connection with such a person?" Ziyan looked at Fourth Miss in confusion, gritted her teeth and said, "I feel disgusted when I see that person, Miss will lower her status if she associates with such a person." ”

The fourth lady reprimanded: "What do you know? What does it mean to know people and make good use of them? Otherwise, how do you think to deal with Gu Xiaowu? Now that Gu Xiaowu has become more and more shrewd, he has pulled Gu Xiaoer as a backer, if he takes the ordinary road, he is afraid that he may not be able to touch a single hair of her in another ten heads and eight years. Besides, the current situation is not in our favor, maybe it won't be long before the old lady and the Lu family discuss marriage, she is the future Mrs. Marquis of Ning'an, how can we bring her down? If we can't win her, how can we please the prince? Anyway, the prince said that as long as he solves this trouble for her, he will definitely reward me heavily. This is the best opportunity to throw stones at the prince and ask for directions, but you can't mess it up for me. ”

Ziyan still didn't quite understand, she didn't know how much this person called a martial artist had to do with Miss Four's choice to use it at the birthday banquet of the concubine Niangniang, but seeing that the fourth lady seemed to value this person very much, she didn't want to ask more, only to wait until the day of the concubine's birthday, and then see what this ruffian could help Miss.
