Wang Biyun was looking at jewelry in the VIP room on the second floor of the Liying Xiang Pavilion, and couldn't take her eyes off a set of light jade ornaments for a long time. The shopkeeper had been waiting at the door, and suddenly said loudly, "Miss Liu San, you are here." ”

Wang Biyun was startled, glanced at her outfit, and stepped aside to stand in the corner.

Liu Fangyao, the third lady of the Liu family, was carrying a pink long skirt, stepped up the steps, and walked towards Wang Biyun.

Wang Biyun's heart pounded.

Liu Fangyao is the granddaughter of Liu Qingyuan, the left minister, the niece of the current imperial concubine, and often attends various banquets between the ladies of the family in the capital.

Lin Wan'er has been sick because of the death of Mrs. Zhao, and her mother has not been out of the house for three years. If Liu Fangyao saw Lin Wan'er, she would definitely not recognize it, but she was very familiar with Wang Biyun, in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the past two years, both of them were influential figures, but one was because they won the first place, and the other was because they won the last.

Wang Biyun secretly complained in her heart, could it be that she was recognized? No, if I stood in front of my grandmother like this, my grandmother should not be able to recognize me! She stood there calmly, motionless.

Liu Fangyao walked to the counter where Wang Biyun was standing just now and stopped, and happily looked at a set of jade ornaments with exquisite workmanship and novel style. Wang Biyun's heart even rose to his throat, praying to God, hoping that Liu Fangyao would not choose this set of jewelry. But Liu Fangyao just stood there and looked carefully, and the shopkeeper Tang, who followed Liu Fangyao upstairs, saw Wang Biyun's expression, and already knew it in his heart, and introduced another exquisite jade jewelry to Miss Liu San.

But Liu Fangyao didn't pay attention to it, pointed to the set of jewelry, and said, "This set, Miss Ben wants it, please ask the shopkeeper Tang to help Miss Ben send it to Liufu." ”

The shopkeeper Tang was embarrassed, Lin Wan, who got the news, walked up, everyone's eyes turned around, Liu Fang looked at it as a small guy, and turned her head to look at the shopkeeper Tang with some displeasure, and the shopkeeper Tang smiled and said: "Miss Liu San, don't blame, Tang wants to be absent." ”

Shopkeeper Tang walked in front of Lin Wan, Lin Wan bowed his head slightly, and said softly: "Shopkeeper Tang, I want that set of jewelry." ”

Shopkeeper Tang didn't hesitate, nodded, walked back to Miss Liu San, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, Miss San, this jewelry has been sold." If you look at something else, we have other styles of jade ornaments......"

Liu Fangyao frowned and said, "Who bought it, why didn't you say it just now?" Okay, no matter who bought it, ask him to give it to me." ”

Shopkeeper Tang was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "This set of jade Linglong has indeed been ordered, and it will not be transferred, please forgive the third lady!"

"You ......" Liu Fangyao wanted to put pressure on the shopkeeper Tang, but suddenly remembered the change in the attitude of the shopkeeper Tang just now, turned his head to look at Lin Wan, and saw that Lin Wan was neither humble nor arrogant Looking at him, thinking about which prince's sidekick?

Liu Fangyao suppressed her anger and said with a smile: "This little brother, did you order it for your master? Dare to ask which nobleman, this set of jewelry is in urgent need of this set of jewelry, I don't know if I can give it?"

Lin Wanzheng looked at Liu Fangyao and thought to herself, she is really a beauty, and she is scheming, no wonder Liu Fangyao in the play married into the prince's mansion as a side concubine, and she can compete with Lin Wan'er for so many years, and she is not equal.

Lin Wan's face did not change, and he looked non-negotiable, and said, "My master said, you must bring this set of jewelry back." ”

Liu Fangyao maintained her demeanor as a lady, and said with a smile: "Miss Ben doesn't want your master to give in, I just want to know, who is your master, is this okay?"

It is often the enemy who knows herself best, so Lin Wan knows Liu Fangyao's mentality very well, she must have thought that which prince bought it, so she wanted to find out the news.

"Miss Liu, forgive me!" Lin Wan pointed out Liu Fangyao's identity, but she didn't want to ask again. Flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out, and when he passed by Lin Wan's side, he glared at her fiercely, as if to say, don't let me see you again!

Lin Wan didn't show weakness, and looked at her with a smile, as if to say, let the horse come!

When Liu Fangyao got into the carriage and walked away, Wang Biyun finally couldn't help laughing, patted Lin Wan's shoulder, and said loudly: "Okay, good, finally let this pink peacock eat deflated, she has always had her eyes above the top, this time she actually let a little guy bluff, haha......"

Lin Wan smiled and glanced at her, turned her head to the shopkeeper Tang and said, "Wrap up that set of jewelry and take it away for me, and prepare some silver taels and silver tickets for me to record in my name." ”

Shopkeeper Tang was busy and went to arrange it himself.

When Lin Wan, Wang Biyun, Wang Qi and the other six got into the carriage, the shopkeeper had already sent the things over, and said to Lin Wan respectfully: "Miss, the shopkeeper Tang said that the Liu family left someone to guard the gate, so as to avoid extraneous branches, please take another road." ”

"Well, I know, thank you for coming to report to me just now, what's your name?" Lin Wan said very kindly.

The shopkeeper's face was a little red, he didn't dare to look at Lin Wan, and Nuo Nuo said: "The little one is called Xiao San'er." ”

Lin Wan smiled slightly, nodded to him, and lowered the curtain.

Qin Feng easily avoided the eyes and ears of the Liu family, and returned to the Royal History Mansion before Shen Shi.

Lin Wan changed her clothes and went directly to Mrs. Wang, Wang Biyun knew that she was looking for her grandmother, so she didn't go with her, and played with the jade Linglong that Lin Wan gave her in the room.

Yesterday, Chen's mother sent someone to explain the general situation to Mrs. Wang, so Mrs. Wang asked someone to pick up Lin Wan today. Moreover, before Lin Wan left the mansion, he had already asked Luliu to report to Mrs. Wang, so Mrs. Wang was very clear about the departure of several people.

Lin Wan also told Mrs. Wang about Wang Qi and Qingtong. Old Madam Wang took Lin Wan's hand with pity, and said with red eyes: "The children of the royal family always have to take on heavy responsibilities early and go through hardships. Although you were not born in the royal family, the emperor has long regarded you as a quasi-daughter-in-law, and he has not yet made an edict because he has not yet decided which prince to match. Wan'er just knows it. ”

"Uncle, why does the emperor have to take a fancy to me?" Lin Wan asked the question that had been bothering him. Although Lin Wan has analyzed Lin Wan'er's psychology in the play and knows the general process of the development of the story, she only knows what it is, and she doesn't know why.

"The queen mother and the queen are both from the Lu family, and the emperor doesn't want the Lu family to have another queen. And the imperial concubine Liu, the power and wealth of her mother's family have also made the emperor very jealous, and if there is another queen, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although there are many daughters of the family next to them, their family background and identity are not as noble as the daughters of the Lu family and the Liu family, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public at that time. There are also some county lords with foreign surnames, although the identity is enough, but it can't reassure the emperor, what the emperor wants is loyal courtiers and relatives who have no power, so you are the most suitable person at present. Got it?"

It was the first time Lin Wan heard such a thorough analysis of the royal family, and she was very grateful to Mrs. Wang. nodded solemnly and said, "Wan'er understands, thank you aunt for telling me this." Wan'er doesn't want to be at the mercy of others, and I need my aunt to help me. ”

Old Madam Wang smiled with relief: "Of course my uncle will help you, we are all a family." But you are the only concubine of the Lin family, and you are also the bloodline of the Zhao family and the Wang family, the emperor will definitely not let you go, and he can only try to make his life better in the future. At the beginning, your mother almost entered the palace, because your grandfather was in Qizhou at the time, and he married your mother before the emperor chose a concubine, so there is today's situation. Your father is now the prime minister, and he will probably not go against the emperor's will because of your marriage. ”

Lin Wan nodded, a little depressed, and stopped talking. Mrs. Wang comforted her a few more words, and then sent Lu's mother to send her home.
