Chapter Ninety-Nine: Expulsion from the Palace
"Sister Ruoyao, do you have to leave today?" Early the next morning, Gu Ruoyao came to Shihuan Courtyard to say goodbye to Lin Xiaoyou. The two sat in the courtyard, and Lin Xiaoyou pulled her with a reluctant expression. Finally, there was a person to talk to in the palace, and as soon as Gu Ruoyao left, she was clear again.
Gu Ruoyao smiled sweetly, "Okay, okay, the days to come are still long, and it's not like life and death can't see each other." I can come to see you when I have time in the future, and if you have the opportunity, of course, you will have to let Xiahou Yichen accompany you to come and see us. You are now the princess of Yueyin Kingdom, speaking of which, Yueyin Kingdom is still your maiden family, and you can't spill the water from your married daughter, so you can ignore it completely. β
Lin Xiaoyou nodded, she would naturally go to Yueyin Kingdom, but not with Xiahou Yichen when she went. Because by then, all the grievances have ended. "Okay. β
Looking at her sullen appearance, Gu Ruoyao comforted: "Don't be sad, if you want to be sad Xiahou Yichen, you have to blame me again." During this time here, I have never seen Xiahou Yichen set foot in other women's rooms, which shows that he is not ordinary to you. Don't be stupid and stuff a woman in the house in the future, if you can't guarantee it, you will really snatch it away one day. β
"No, it won't. Lin Xiaoyou smiled helplessly, not easy to explain.
As he was talking, Duoduo hurriedly came in and reported: "Princess, Miss Yin and Concubine Su ask to see you." β
"Well, the wound forgot the pain, they still dared to come, and they were really not afraid of death. You don't have to deal with them. Gu Ruoyao read a sentence with disdain.
Lin Xiaoyou smiled lightly, turned his head sideways and asked, "Miss Yin is back?"
"Just came back a short time ago. Duoduo replied respectfully.
After that palace banquet, Yin Qiumeng didn't return to his house until today, and as soon as he came back, he couldn't wait to come to the courtyard. Lin Xiaoyou thought about it and smiled slightly: "Let them in." "If anyone does not offend her, she will not offend anyone, but if anyone offends her, he will pay it back. Originally, Sister Ruoyao was missing a justifiable reason to leave, so they sent it to the door by themselves, which was good.
"Speaking of Yin Qiumeng, I suddenly remembered one thing, I heard that since the palace banquet, the queen mother has been in poor health, lying in bed all day without eating oil, and she is getting thinner and thinner. Xiaoyou, do you know what's going on?" Gu Ruoyao stared at Lin Xiaoyou with a deep smile, so happy.
Lin Xiaoyou rolled his eyes, and replied with an innocent expression: "I know, I ate too much." β
Gu Ruoyao raised her voice with a gloating smile, "It seems that your grievances at the palace banquet are not in vain, even the Queen Mother dares to do it." We were originally worried that Xiahou Yichen would bully you, but now that we think about it, it is completely redundant. β
Glancing at her, Lin Xiaoyou quipped, "Sister Ruoyao, you are really well-informed. "It's no wonder that when serving the old witch at the palace banquet, she began to feel uncomfortable after eating, and everyone must still be suspicious. It's just that suspicion is suspicion, with Xiahou Yichen supporting her, and the old witch herself hand-picked her to serve, who dares to blame her?
"A bunch of moths, Xiaoyu, why don't I help you clean it up today, how about it?" Gu Ruoyao said, her beautiful face flashing with a different kind of playfulness. Three women in one play, I really don't know how you endure it, anyway, if it were her, she wouldn't be able to stand it.
Turning their heads, Yin Qiumeng and the others came leisurely under the leadership of Duoduo with small steps. This good drama was originally played for Gu Ruoyao, how could she be without her as the protagonist. Lin Xiaoyou was about to speak, but she mentioned it first, and she didn't even think about it and readily agreed. "Of course. β
"See the Princess. Seeing Gu Ruoyao here, they each snorted coldly with disdain, and stepped forward to salute Lin Xiaoyu together.
Since the last time they came to Shihuan Courtyard to suffer, Yin Qiumeng, Su Zixin and others have learned a lot. Quiet and polite, not as noisy as before.
"Excuse me, serve tea. Lin Xiaoyou smiled and asked them to get up, then looked at Yin Qiumeng and said, "Miss Yin has returned home, I wonder if the Queen Mother's phoenix body is healthy?"
The aunt who was so miserable asked knowingly, Yin Qiumeng's displeased look flashed, he lowered his head to hide the love in his eyes, and replied obediently: "There is Princess Lao to worry about, and my aunt is fine." She fell ill because of falling into the water, and recuperated in the palace for a few days, and by the way, she took care of the Queen Mother's aunt who was hurt by Lin Xiaoyu and couldn't eat, and only returned home this morning.
She was so worried that she couldn't talk about it, she just wanted to see what kind of Cheng DΓΉ Yin Fengqing was difficult to suffer. Lin Xiaoyou glanced at Gu Ruoyao, who was snickering beside her, and beckoned, "Sit down." β
"Thank you, Princess. The women thanked each other and waited for Su Zixin to sit down with Yin Qiumeng first, and Ye Mengfei and Xie Yunsha sat down next to them.
"Princess, a small gift is not a tribute. Yin Qiumeng took a small boxy gift box from the magpie and handed it to Lin Xiaoyou with his own hands, "My sister apologized for your rudeness at the gate of the palace that day, and I hope that the princess will have a lot, don't worry about me." β
Lin Xiaoyou's eyes flashed, Yin Qiumeng has always been arrogant and domineering, but now after staying in the palace for a few days, she has learned to lower her posture and apologize to her, if it weren't for someone pointing her behind her back, she wouldn't have been able to do it with her temperament. Lin Xiaoyou had a smile on his face, "Is there something at the gate of the palace that day? Having said that, looking at Yin Qiumeng's hand stretched out in the air, he didn't go to take her gift.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward, Su Zixin saw this, smiled extremely charmingly, took Yin Qiumeng's gift box and put it in front of Lin Xiaoyou, and said: "Miss Yin, I'll just say it, the princess has a lot, she doesn't care." β
Yin Qiumeng's stiff face tried to squeeze out a smile, Lin Xiaoyu, a slut, dared to be so unpopular with the favor of the prince, once he gained power in the future, she would be the first to clean up. "What Sister Su said is that Meng'er is stingy. β
Thinking that her aunt had repeatedly warned her to be patient and calm down, she thought about it for a few days: although the prince ordered everyone to be respectful and polite to her in the palace, he always looked lukewarm to her. Especially Lin Xiaoyu still dominates the prince at all times, making it impossible for them to get close. After returning home to discuss with Su Zixin and the others, they decided to have a good relationship with Lin Xiaoyou first, as long as they have the opportunity to come to Shihuan Courtyard often in the future to contact the prince, they are not afraid that they will not have a chance to get ahead.
"Miss Yin, we are all a family, so we have seen each other. Ye Mengfei smiled and spoke.
Lin Xiaoyou smiled silently, and let them say good or bad.
After greeting for a while, Duoduo came over with tea, "Concubine Su, a few ladies drink tea." β
When the opportunity came, Gu Ruoyao actively got up to pick it up, "I'll come." β
Taking the tray, she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she first brought two cups of tea and put them in front of Ye Mengfei and Xie Yunsha, and then Su Zixin.
Several people looked at each other, Su Zixin's mind turned, and she was very aware of the current affairs and handed the tea to Yin Qiumeng, "Miss Yin has worked hard all the way back to the house, you invite first." β
Yin Qiumeng frowned, and his face was very ugly. A lowly dancer dared to despise her, she really thought that if she relied on Lin Xiaoyou, she would be helpless against her. I don't want to think about it, although I am a nameless and pointless person, but the backer behind me is a storage zΓ i that should not be underestimated. Thinking in her heart, she didn't look at Su Zixin's courtesy. Her eyes locked on Gu Ruoyao, and she said coldly: "Before returning to the house, my aunt also asked about Mrs. Haibing, knowing that you get along well with the princess in the mansion, and she is very pleased. A reminding and threatening expression, for fear that others would not know that she was the niece of the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother?Gu Ruoyao thought about it, but she still felt that it was more appropriate to call her in Xiaoyu's words, that is, --- witch. Using a witch to press her, she was really too scared, Gu Ruoyao's eyes were full of mocking sneers. Yin Qiumeng's behavior is like a child who has been robbed of candy in her eyes, and she can only sue if she is incompetent, which can be described as extremely naΓ―ve.
Today, someone else may have been scared by her, but unfortunately she met Gu Ruoyao.
Hiding the ridicule in her eyes, Gu Ruoyao held the teacup with trembling hands, pretended to be afraid and cowardly, and respectfully handed it to Yin Qiumeng. "Miss Yin, please have tea. β
Now that she knows that she is afraid, Gu Ruoyao's cowardly appearance fell in Yin Qiumeng's eyes, which made her very proud, "I have been by the princess's side for so long, and I don't understand the rules at all." What you know is that you are humble and incompetent, and you don't know that you think that the princess didn't teach you well. She was triumphantly majestic, seemingly teaching Gu Ruoyao a lesson, but in fact she was referring to Sang scolding Huai's sarcasm Lin Xiaoyu.
"Yes, the slave knows what is wrong. Gu Ruoyao's head hung lower, and she held the teacup attentively.
Yin Qiumeng thought she was scared, and chattered for a long time before reaching out to take the tea. "Take a little and let Miss Ben drink it. β
Gu Ruoyao deliberately stood far away, and now that she heard her speak, she was about to step forward with a teacup. Drink, drink, I'll let you have a good drink. Removing the weird smile in her eyes, she had just taken a step, when suddenly her feet slipped, and the teacup in her hand shook and splashed at Yin Qiumeng. Looking for death by herself, I really don't blame her.
The incident happened suddenly, Yin Qiumeng was unprepared, and the tea was poured directly on her chest. She screamed and jumped to her feet, slapping the tea on her body. Fortunately, she had been delaying for a long time, and most of the tea she had brewed had been cold, and it was not particularly hot on her body. The only drawback is that the beautiful dress is stained with yellow stains, which is extremely ugly. "You...... Slut, you look for death. He didn't stop scolding, and he stretched out his hand and slapped it.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the slave didn't mean to. "I finally got it. Why didn't you burn to death! Gu Ruoyao was unwilling to say a word in her heart, her face panicked. Looking at the slap that came over, she played the command room, and a small pearl flew out of her hand and hit Yin Qiumeng's leg accurately.
Yin Qiumeng's feet ached, and he knelt down in front of Gu Ruoyao.
"Miss Yin...... Here's what to do quickly up. Gu Ruoyao was so frightened that she hurriedly took two steps back, and took advantage of the panic to quietly cast a smug look at Lin Xiaoyu and continue her big play.
Su Zixin and the three of them came back to their senses and stood up when they saw this scene, they were frightened, and hurriedly helped her up. "Miss Yin, it's okay. β
"Hai Bing, you have been favored by the Queen Mother to enter the mansion, how dare you splash Miss Yin with water?" Gu Ruoyao did something they didn't dare to do, Su Zixin was happy in her heart, and scolded with a pretended displeasure.
"It's like, it's really lawless. Xie Yunsha said, and elegantly took out the Jinpa and wanted to wipe Yin Qiumeng's clothes, but when she noticed the location of the tea splash, she hesitated to wipe her.
Ye Mengfei said with concern: "Miss Yin, is it hot? Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor?"
The good sycophant didn't shoot the horse's buttocks, and Yin Qiumeng glared at her hatefully. The position that was splashed just now was right on her chest, not to mention that she was not burned, even if she was burned to death, she couldn't ask for a doctor.
Gu Ruoyao clenched her teeth and held back the smile that wanted to explode immediately, she didn't splash this cup of tea at random, but deliberately calculated the position to splash it. Even if it's really hurt, if you want to see a doctor, it's not that simple.
Several people gathered around her, all kinds of comforts from you and me, Yin Qiumeng blocked his chest in one breath, and he couldn't get out and swallow, "Idiot, you kneel down for me." He scolded angrily, snatched the Jinpa in Xie Yunsha's hand, and wiped it himself.
Lin Xiaoyou took a sip of tea, looking like he was watching a good show.
What is she, to dare to allow herself to kneel down for her. Gu Ruoyao's eyes flashed, raised a slight smile, looked at her and said, "Miss Yin, the slave said that it was not intentional. It's okay for you to get me on my knees, but I wonder if you can afford it?"
The cowardly appearance just now was unusual, where was the shadow of the previous cowardice, "Slut, did you do it on purpose?" Yin Qiumeng stretched out Qianqianyu and pointed at Gu Ruoyao, gritting his teeth and roaring, obviously having been provoked to anger in his heart.
Hmph...... what if she did it on purpose, the more angry Yin Qiumeng was, the happier she became. Gu Ruoyao put on a graceful and luxurious appearance, and said lightly: "Miss Yin is the niece of the Queen Mother, how dare the slave maid and the dancing girl deliberately make it bad, I obviously did it intentionally." β
Yan zhΓ²ng angered Yin Qiumeng, and now a lowly dancer has blatantly climbed on her head, which is worth it. Immediately rushed forward and waved his palm at Gu Ruoyao's face.
"You want to hit me. The slap was caught a few centimeters away from Gu Ruoyao's face.
Yin Qiumeng was angry and anxious, her cold eyes made her tremble, and her impulsive expression cooled down slightly. Looking at Gu Ruoyao's dangerous gaze, he said stubbornly: "It's you who beat you." β
"Who is the slut scolding?" Gu Ruoyao asked with a sneering face.
"Slut scolds you. Yin Qiumeng was already dizzy, and scolded back without even thinking about it.
"I know the slut is scolding me. Gu Ruoyao replied proudly, raised her hand and slapped Yin Qiumeng twice.
"Miss Yin. Su Zixin and the others were frightened, and just wanted to step forward to help, Lin Xiaoyou said lightly: "Sister Su, I don't know if the injury I suffered last time can be healed." β
The lightly described reminder made the three of them pause. Su Zixin's cheeks flushed, staring at Lin Xiaoyou, who was sitting on the side without any movement, hesitated for a while, and finally sat down patiently. Yin Qiumeng is arrogant and unreasonable, bullying others, and someone will teach them a lesson without their help, why not. When the time comes, she will blame her, and she can push it on Lin Xiaoyu. After thinking about it secretly, I put my heart at ease and watched the show.
Two loud slaps, Yin Qiumeng's eyes widened in disbelief, and he was in a stupid state.
Gu Ruoyao snorted coldly, daring to go against her and kill herself. Yin Qiumeng is a paper tiger, relying on the old witch to show off her martial arts on weekdays, and once she is really moved, she will be cowardly.
"What are you doing here?" A cold sound sounded, and Xiahou Yichen stepped on his steps, appearing in the eyes of the women without hurry.
There was no sound at all, and the bell must have been taken down by him. Lin Xiaoyou looked at him, looked away nonchalantly, and leisurely sipped tea.
He didn't want to bring the same thing as the little fox, knowing what Lin Xiaoyu was thinking, Xiahou Yichen glared at her angrily.
Yin Qiumeng came back to his senses, looked at Xiahou Yichen who came over, his eyes couldn't stop dripping, and he cried aggrievedly: "Lord Wang, why did you come?" The soft and helpless voice made people feel pity.
swept the pitiful two slap marks on her face, looking at Gu Ruoyao's smug look and Lin Xiaoyu's indifferent attitude, who bullied whom, the answer was about to come out.
"Can you tell the princess, which one is the princess singing?" The charming smile did not have the pleasure of the past, and the deep eyes were strangely cold.
Su Zixin watched Xiahou Yichen come over, hurriedly got up and stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, it's okay." It's just that Sister Haibing's tea was accidentally spilled on Miss Yin's body just now. β
The prince was angry, which showed that he still cared about Yin Qiumeng. Also, one is the niece of the Queen Mother, and the other is a lowly dancer, so you don't have to think about it to know which side to stand on.
Accidentally? Gu Ruoyao's eyes narrowed, not only to pretend to excuse her, but also to simply and clearly expose her crimes, high, really high.
"Princess, what do you say?" Xiahou Yichen turned his head, his phoenix eyes were threatening, so that people couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
Lin Xiaoyou's elf-like eyes blinked, and he looked at Xiahou Yichen and smiled. "This princess was drinking tea with her sisters, and Miss Yin suddenly said that her face was uncomfortable, so I asked Mrs. Haibing to rub it for her. β
As soon as the words fell, the people present couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths, and the big-ear scrapers snapped, that is called rubbing?
Gu Ruoyao glanced at her incredulously, smiled and nodded. It's not a loss to be her good sister, and she really has a set.
"Princess, Meng'er did something wrong, you let Sister Haibing beat me indiscriminately. "Yin Qiumeng, Shi Shiran's crying pear blossoms bring rain. was worried about how to drag Lin Xiaoyou into the water together, but who knew that she jumped in by herself. seized the opportunity, counted the two of them in one bite, turned his head and cried: "Lord, you have to make the decision for me." β
"Lord, it's all my fault, don't blame the princess. Gu Ruoyao pretended to explain: "It's just that the hand cramps can't be controlled for a while, and it hits Miss Yin's face inexplicably, I really didn't mean it." β
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Gu Ruoyao, who was talking nonsense, speechless. And what you say is not intentional, it's just.
"Lord, I'm not alive anymore. Yin Qiumeng almost fainted, covering his face and crying.
Lin Xiaoyou sighed helplessly, got up and walked towards Yin Qiumeng step by step with elegant steps, pulled her and said with a smile: "Miss Yin, jumping into the lake, pillars, white silk, poisonous wine, which one do you choose? β
Yin Qiumeng's expression suddenly froze, and he turned his head to look at Xiahou Yichen with tears in his eyes.
Eccentric stupid, Xiahou Yichen glanced at her with tears and laughter. Immediately, Zhengse deliberately reprimanded, "Presumptuous, how dare you be so rude to Miss Yin." As a princess, she was unreasonable and had a good time, and she thought about it behind closed doors for three days. As for Hai Bing, he did not abide by the etiquette law, disturbed the peace of the palace, came and drove people out of the palace. β
Gu Ruoyao's expression darkened, and she said sadly: "Lord Wang......"
"Lord Wang, even if Sister Ruoyao is at fault, she won't be driven out of the palace. Lin Xiaoyu looked panicked and pleaded.
Xiahou Yichen snorted coldly and ignored it.
Seeing Gu Ruoyao being kicked out of the palace, Yin Qiumeng showed a smug smile to Lin Xiaoyou. I thought that the prince would help Lin Xiaoyou, but I didn't expect him to be on his side.
Miss Yin was frightened. Yin Qiumeng was secretly happy, and suddenly Xiahou Yichen came over and whispered in her ear, and the warm breath sprayed on her ears. She was stunned in disbelief, then reacted and nodded with a smile.
I don't know what Xiahou Yichen told her, but I saw that Yin Qiumeng's eyes were full of joy. Ignoring Su Zixin and the others who were jealous next to her, she said softly: "Please wait for a while, Meng'er will come when she goes." He saluted and left quickly.
Lin Xiaoyou glared at him fiercely, obviously saying that he was going to send Brother Leng and Sister Ruoyao away, and now in order to appease Yin Qiumeng, Xiahou Yichen is playing with some kind of ghost idea.
Receiving Lin Xiaoyu's dissatisfied gaze, the corners of Xiahou Yichen's mouth raised slightly, and his smile was as enchanting as a poppy, "The princess is jealous?"
Jealous? Lin Xiaoyou snorted and looked at Su Zixin and the others on the side, someone was jealous, but it wouldn't be her.
