Chapter 380: King Ling's Annual Banquet, Fang Rui came to the door

As soon as the two girls died, the bodies were packed in wooden boxes, saying that they were Qu Yingying's funeral goods, and the helpers buried them in Qu Yingying's tomb.

Aunt Fang Rui returned to the mansion after burying Qu Yingying, and the first thing she did was to dismiss the people in the mansion, sell her mansion as quickly as possible, and after getting a sum of money, she immediately rolled up the bed and left. However, she didn't go too far, on the eighth night of the first month, she still stayed in the capital, hiding in a remote alley, thinking that no one could find her, and never thought that there were always two pairs of eyes staring at her movements.

However, Fu Rongyue didn't plan to care about Aunt Fangrui's life or death, the ninth day of the first month was the annual banquet of the Lingwang Mansion, and Wei Mingxi returned to Beijing at the beginning of the year, although it was not extravagant, but she was sure that people were indispensable, and she had something to worry about.

It's not that she worries about all the arrangements, there is Yao Yuan's housekeeper in the Lingwang Mansion, and everything can be done properly, what she is worried about is what will happen after tomorrow's New Year's banquet.

The other pair of eyes is naturally Wei Mingyu.

The news of Qu Yingying's death soon reached his ears, but he was not moved, for Wei Mingyu, Qu Yingying was just a concubine who was thrown out, and it was also a concubine who caused him a lot of trouble, and it was too late to worry!

But he did not announce Qu Yingying's death, as Fu Rongyue expected, he was waiting for a suitable time.

"Let's let her be free for a few more days," he just sneered when he heard Aunt Fangrui's escape: "When the matter over there in Jiangnan comes, I'll cut her again!"

His gaze looked at the imperial city in the distance, his expression was a little strange, and after a pause, he asked, "It's been a month, how is the pursuit of that person going?"

"He should have been dormant in the capital and did not leave the capital before, and the prince also knew that the Qiao family's ability to hide their whereabouts was one of the best, so we almost searched the capital and found no one. But don't worry, there is news recently, I heard that someone saw him on the mountain road to Yuncang on the second day of junior high school, and we sent someone to intercept and kill him once that day, and we didn't want anyone to help him, so he escaped. On the fifth day of the first month, there was news that his stronghold had been found, and whether he could succeed or not was the news of the last two days. The shadow replied.

Wei Mingyu's face turned cold when he heard this: "A group of waste! There are so many people, he can't help killing a person!"

"Lord Wang, he is so powerful, his subordinates ......," the shadow said helplessly.

Wei Mingyu raised his hand to interrupt him: "That's it, the person from Qiao's family is good, it's all my fault for being careless, if it weren't for him inadvertently knowing that big secret, I would really want to use him!"

When his father got Concubine Hui, he won the world, if he could get the support of Qiao's family, why worry about big things?

Pity...... Pity!

He put his hands behind his back and said categorically: "Step up the interception, we must not leak the news!"

"Yes!" Seeing that he didn't blame, the shadow breathed a sigh of relief, answered, and quickly disappeared into the night.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the annual banquet of the Lingwang Mansion.

Fu Rongyue arrived at the Lingwang Mansion early and accompanied Wei Mingxi to wait for the guests who came. Although she did not appear as the hostess today, who did not know that she was already the concubine of the King of Ling? Seeing her standing at the gate, no one was the slightest surprised.

Sure enough, as Fu Rongyue expected, there were unexpectedly many guests today, the people of King Zhao, the people of King Qi, and people who were not anyone, and before the banquet arrived, the main hall was already crowded.

Yao Yuan took the initiative, pulled up the curtain in the garden in front of the main hall, built a corridor to shelter from the wind and rain on the spot, and moved the brazier out, so that all the guests were arranged.

Wei Mingxi presided over the New Year's banquet was not as cumbersome as other palace procedures, he had been in the Northwest Army for a long time, and he didn't like to waste the opportunity, so he only politely said a few words, and told the guests to hold the banquet at will.

The pace is so fast that many people can't adapt to it for a while.

Fortunately, Fu Rongyue had already prepared, and the two song and dance workshops of Luwu and Lurui had been waiting, and the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra came alive. Soon, many people began to leave the table, greeted familiar colleagues, and came to talk to Wei Mingxi together. Fu Rongyue greeted these noble ladies on the side of the female dependents, and the turmoil in the capital has risen suddenly in the past few days, but these women in the capital don't seem to feel oppression at all, and they still have words and jokes.

"I heard that Princess Ling showed her hand at the New Year's banquet of King Qi a few days ago, what a talent!" a lady looked at Fu Rongyue and praised it again and again.

When he went, he nodded: "It's not, it's said that the poems and songs come as soon as they open their mouths, and they are not worse than Princess Qi." โ€

"It's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes. "The previous lady was very sorry.

Then someone interjected: "Speaking of talented women in Beijing, in addition to Princess Qi, I also think of the ladies of King Zhao's mansion." Do you know that something happened in King Zhao's mansion?"

"What's going on?" the speaker was mysterious, and soon aroused everyone's interest, and they all came together.

The man smiled proudly: "This matter is very tightly covered, and it happened that day that someone happened to pass by Zhao Wang's Mansion and saw those that I only knew." Do you still remember that in addition to the concubine and concubine Fu in the palace of King Zhao, there is also a very favored beloved, surnamed Qu. โ€

Everyone nodded when they heard this: "Qu Liangren, it's the one with white skin and round eyes who is very good-looking, I saw it a few times when King Zhao traveled in the past." What's wrong with her?"

"I heard that on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year on the street, Qu Liangren's carriage almost stepped on a child, and the child was saved by Princess Ling's maidservant, but she wronged Princess Ling's maidservant and wanted to murder her, and took the maidservant away. Later, when the truth was revealed, it annoyed King Zhao, and it seemed that he was divorced by King Zhao. The man was even more proud, the news was still fresh, she had been hiding in her heart for several days, and she was finally able to vomit.

The others all looked at each other: "Hugh?"

"It should be a holiday, and someone saw that Qu Liangren was sent back to her mother in a dejected state. The man nodded hurriedly.

The ladies were all embarrassed when they heard this.

In the past, when Qu Liangren was favored, King Zhao took her around a lot, and many people in the capital knew her. She has always been low-key outside, and many people have a good impression of her, and they thought that King Zhao would spoil her for a lifetime, why did she take a break so easily?

For a while, this piece of sighs was mixed.

The ladies of the main house sighed, but also felt relieved, they were used to being oppressed by the concubines on weekdays, and they suddenly poured such a powerful one, although it was not their own family, but they also hated the same enemy.

Fu Rongyue sat quietly on the main seat and observed this scene, noncommittal to these ladies. She drank tea leisurely, as if the things these people were talking about had nothing to do with her. Before the cup of tea was finished, Mei Shan suddenly came in through the side door, and through the door curtain, she vaguely saw Yao Yuan standing outside the hall. Fu Rongyue put down the cup, Mei Shan leaned into her ear and whispered, "Princess, Fu Fangrui is here." โ€

"Where are you from?" Fu Rongyue raised her eyebrows: "Lingwang Mansion?"

"Yes, she sneakily followed other family members in, and the guards didn't recognize her, so they let her in. Unexpectedly, she happened to be discovered by Yao Yuan, and she was busy leading her to the backyard, and now she is still sitting in the back garden, hearing the movement in front of her, and she wants to rush here. Mei Shan asked, "Princess, if she comes, it will be fine!"

"I'll take a look. Fu Rongyue pursed her lips and smiled, it was really interesting, she didn't settle accounts with Fu Fangrui, Fu Fangrui sent it to the door by herself.

She got up and said a few polite words, instructed the green pothos to greet the noble lady of the room, and followed Mei Shan out of the main hall.

Yao Yuan hurriedly greeted her: "Princess, Fu Fangrui refused to leave with a dead face, she said that if the princess didn't go to see her, she would make trouble in front of her, so that the princess couldn't eat and walked around." โ€

"What trump card does she have in her hand?" Fu Rongyue wondered, if there were no chips, how could Fu Fangrui be so confident that she would be at her mercy?

Yao Yuan shook his head: "She refuses to say." โ€

Fu Rongyue pondered for a moment, and then walked to the back garden.

When I entered the back garden, I saw Fu Fangrui looking around on tiptoe in a side room, looking cautious. Fu Rongyue took a different path from when Yao Yuan came, she didn't see Fu Rongyue, and after a few glances, she showed an impatient expression, and her impatience was beyond words. Soon, she retracted her gaze, and her eyes had been lingering on the antiques, calligraphy, paintings, gold and jade artifacts placed in the side room, and she couldn't wait to put them away and keep them for herself.

Fu Rongyue hooked the corners of her mouth sneeringly, Fu Fangrui has suffered a lot in the past two years, and her eyelids are getting shallower and shallower!

That's right, she's about to flee now, how can she live if she doesn't have enough money? I'm afraid she just wants to make a little more, right?

With a snort, Fu Rongyue walked out unhurriedly and walked into Fu Fangrui's line of sight.

Sure enough, as soon as she saw Fu Rongyue come out, Fu Fangrui immediately put away her greedy gaze and sat precariously waiting for Fu Rongyue to approach. Fu Rongyue approached, her nostrils were still facing the sky, and she didn't even look at Fu Rongyue with her eyes. Fu Rongyue is familiar with this, she frowned secretly, Fu Fangrui's appearance is not like an empty shelf, could it be that she really has something enough to threaten herself? If this is the case, then she really can't be unguarded!

She made up her mind and sat down directly: "Mrs. Qu, it's been a long time." โ€

Fu Fangrui glanced at her: "It's been a long time, Princess Ling is fine." โ€

But take a closer look, where did Fu Rongyue's eerie half-face birthmark go? This sentence is really a lie, Fu Rongyue's appearance is very different from before!

She looked at Fu Rongyue's face a little stupidly, she was full of confidence, but for a while she was a little unsure whether the person in front of her was the Fu Rongyue she knew!

It's so beautiful!

However, the more Fu Fangrui looked at it, the more he felt that this face was familiar, and he was dull for a long time before he remembered in his mind that now Fu Rongyue's appearance was very similar to Su Juan. It's just that the temperament is different, Su Juan's beauty is graceful, but Fu Rongyue is vaguely a little sharp, and when she looks at her, she is a little weak-hearted!
