024 Hibiscus Feast I
A carriage drove slowly and finally stopped outside the door of Qionghualou.
After receiving the general's instructions, he was afraid that something would happen to the eldest lady, so Steward He specially led several guards from the General's Mansion to escort him, accompanied by Yahuan Xiaocui beside Mrs. Yun.
"Miss, Qionghualou has arrived. ”
Didn't hear the response in the carriage, Steward He shouted a few more times, but there was still no movement.
Steward He was about to step forward to open the curtain to inspect, when at this time, several official ladies came over, and some of them recognized Steward He from the General's Mansion and pointed at the carriage.
"Isn't this the carriage of the General's Mansion? I heard that the eldest lady of the Yun family is also coming to participate in the hibiscus banquet tonight, could it be that the eldest lady Yun Xi is sitting in the carriage?"
"It must be! Haven't you heard? The second lady of the Yun family followed her mother back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is said that the two sisters framed each other, causing a storm in the city, and now the second miss of the Yun family has nowhere to stay in the General's Mansion. ”
"Why is Yunxi so vicious, just came back, and drove the second lady and sister out of the general's mansion, it's too unusual. ”
What's even more odious is that Yunxi also smeared Meng Yao everywhere, saying that she sent killers to chase her halfway. Think about it, Meng Yao is such a docile person when she is with us on weekdays, how could she do such a thing?"
In order to cover up the scandal of having a child out of wedlock, she deliberately spread rumors to frame Meng Yao. ”
Steward He frowned, these people were clearly the second lady's handkerchiefs, and it was clear that they were deliberately trying to embarrass the eldest lady. He was really worried, and he didn't know how the eldest lady would react when she heard these discussions.
A gorgeous carriage on the opposite side slowly stopped, the curtain opened, and a silver robe jumped into people's eyes in a trance, causing everyone to be dizzy.
The ladies of the official family who were still discussing all stopped, and looked at Nangong Yi obsessively one by one, that was the first beautiful man in their Nanxi Country, and the third most beautiful man in the entire Aotian Continent. In the territory of Nanxi Kingdom, and even in the entire Aotian Continent, which woman does not want to marry Prince Jing as a concubine? Even if it is just a concubine, they are willing to squeeze their scalp for this, just to get the favor of Prince Jing.
Nangong Yi had long been immune to such a gaze, and when he raised his eyes, he was facing the carriage of the General's Mansion, and his gaze was slightly fixed. He was very surprised, according to the woman's temperament, how could there be no reaction at all?
Seeing Nangong Yi's gaze swept over, Steward He stepped forward and greeted: "Old slave, see His Royal Highness Prince Jing." ”
"Well, your eldest lady can be in the carriage?"
Hearing that King Jing asked about Yunxi, the women were angry in their hearts, everyone knew that there was a marriage contract between King Jing and the eldest lady of the Yun family. However, Yunxi has given birth to a child with another man before she gets married, as usual, Prince Jing should hate her extremely much, and it is only right to stay away from her, how can he take the initiative to come forward to greet her? Could it be that Prince Jing has not yet learned that Yunxi has given birth to wild seeds outside?
"Lord Wang, have you ever heard rumors outside? Miss Yun conceived a child with a wild man six years ago, and it is said that she has been hiding in the temple of Tanglin Kingdom to raise wild seeds for the past six years, such a woman is simply the scum among our women, you must not be fooled by her appearance. ”
"That's right, I heard from the second lady of the Yun family herself, six years ago, in order to conceal this matter, the Yun family sent all the insiders out of the General's Mansion, and asked the people in the General's Mansion to keep it a secret, and no one could spread the matter. ”
"I heard that the wild seed also came back with Yunxi this time, if the prince doesn't believe it, you can question her in person to see if she has the face to continue to lie......"
Nangong Yi squinted slightly, a touch of disgust crossed his eyes, he felt that these women were too talkative and very noisy on weekdays, and today he heard them arrange Yunxi like this, not only did he not gloat at the pleasure, but anger rose in his heart.
Although the woman is hateful, she is consistent with her words and deeds, never takes the initiative to provoke others, and does not speak ill of others behind her back. It seems that only after someone else provokes her, she will fight back, and he, it is precisely because he provoked her that he will suffer her humiliation, and he is also bored with himself, and he comes to the door to find guilt for no reason.
"I'm afraid this king knows no less things than you, and I don't need you to remind this king here!" He deliberately added the word "reminder", which made the women feel creepy.
They didn't understand why the prince was angry, they just thought that he was betrayed, so he was angry with Yunxi. Thinking of this, all the women were a little gloating, hum, Yunxi, do you think you can continue to hide it? Now that the prince knows the truth, see if you can still marry into the palace! Don't dare to anger the prince Jing again, one by one they walked towards the Qionghua Building.
Nangong Yi's deep gaze turned and looked in the direction of the curtain, only separated by a curtain, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. What's wrong with her, she was so abused and humiliated, she didn't react at all, is this still the aggressive and ruthless Yunxi he saw in the afternoon?
Out of curiosity, he stepped forward, stepped over the butler's shoulder, and took the initiative to lift the curtain.
The moonlight poured like water around the carriage, mixed with soft lights, illuminating the dimly lit space inside the carriage. A mother and son were leaning against the wall of the carriage and sleeping soundly.
At that moment, the heavens and the earth fell silent, and time froze.
It was as if there was a kind of magic that had drawn his gaze so firmly that he could no longer take his eyes off it.
The moonlight gently caressed the sleeping woman, she pouted slightly, as quiet and peaceful as a newborn baby, where was there still the fierceness and evil spirit seen in the daytime? And the child leaning on her arms was also slightly pouting in the same way, occasionally wrinkling her little nose, and her expression was very cute.
The scene was so warm and peaceful that he couldn't bear to be disturbed.
No wonder she didn't react to any insults outside, no wonder she could tolerate the deliberate humiliation of others, it turned out ...... Thinking of the tragic experience of Luo Yigang and the four of them, he couldn't help but secretly sweat for the ignorant women just now, they must not know that they were lucky to have escaped.
A shallow smile unconsciously escaped from his lips, and when he realized it, he quickly put away the smile that he shouldn't have, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
The little white beast curled up in the child's arms, as if sensing something unusual, its shining eyes opened suddenly, and it was straight towards Nangong Yi, extremely aggressive.
"Huh?" Sensing Xiaobai's strange appearance, Yun Xiaomo woke up first, and at Shangnangong Yi's strange gaze, he wrinkled his little nose and reached out to pull his mother's sleeve.
"Mother, someone is looking for you!"
"Who's it?, disturbing people's dreams!" Yunxi opened her eyes in a daze, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and suddenly bumped into Nangong Yi's deep gaze, she frowned, "Lord Wang, is there something wrong?"
Nangong Yi looked at her fixedly for a long time, didn't say anything, put down the curtain and left, throwing her an extremely cold back.
Behind him, Yunxi's low curse voice came: "Inexplicable!"
His feet were stagnant, and Nangong Yi also cursed in his heart, just now, he actually felt that this woman was very beautiful, he was really evil. Thinking about it, he quickened his pace and continued to walk towards the Qionghua Building.
