Chapter Twenty-Nine: The eldest lady and the second lady sneered at each other
In the shady place in the backyard of Shangguan Mansion, a delicate and lovely person leaned on a reclining chair, with slender fingers holding a beauty fan and gently fanning, and a pair of beautiful eyes under the long eyelashes were slightly closed, looking so leisurely.
"It's a pity, Daddy went to the Ministry of Officials to go to the banquet, why didn't you go with Daddy?" Shangguan Kexin was dressed in a blue emerald cigarette shirt, walking with lotus steps, a pleated skirt of mist and green grass like scattered flowers, wearing a light blue emerald water thin smoke veil, holding a fire painting fan and swaying gently.
"Didn't my sister go with my father? Shangguan Xiruo still fanned the fan leisurely, replied lightly, and then slowly opened his eyes and gently swept Shangguan Xiruo, "Isn't it that my sister is waiting for something, and I dare not go?"
Shangguan Kexin's eyes flashed unnaturally, and he quickly retorted, "Don't think about it, I just don't like to be lively, so I just don't want to go." "Three thousand green silk tied up with a hair band, a butterfly hairpin on the head, a strand of green silk hanging on the chest, thin powder, only add color, not vulgar.
"I didn't say anything, why should my sister be excited. Shangguan Xiruo pursed his lips, and glanced at Shangguan Xiruo, wrapped in a pale pink dress, draped in a white gauze coat, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, and the pleats of the skirt flowed lightly on the ground like snow and moonlight, more than three feet long.
"I don't have any. "The crimson that looms on the cheeks creates a delicate and lovely skin like petals, which is indeed a classical beauty.
"You" haven't finished yet! Shangguan Xiruo didn't finish speaking, but he was sucked away by two female voices from outside the wall, and Shangguan Xiruo and Shangguan Kexin listened carefully.
"Li'er, who did you hear say that the queen made a big fuss about the Zunyi Palace. The maid looked at the other side with wide eyes in surprise. Didn't the emperor say that he would choose a young lady to be the queen in the Shangguan Mansion? This matter is often talked about by the second young lady, and it is difficult for them to think about it.
"Don't be so loud, it will be bad if the eldest lady and the second lady hear it. Li'er immediately covered the maid's mouth, looked around and saw that there was no one, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "This matter has spread all over the streets and alleys, and there are people who have noses and eyes, and some people have seen it with their own eyes!"
"But didn't the emperor say that he would choose a young lady to be the queen in the Shangguan Mansion? You can't be mistaken!" The maid still didn't quite believe what Li'er said, and confirmed it again and again.
"No, I went to the street this morning to buy groceries, passing by several places, but I heard them all, and I will not be mistaken. Li'er shook her hands desperately, her big eyes flickered, and she almost raised her hands and swore an oath.
Then, Li'er looked at the maidservant and sighed, and said, "I don't know if I want to tell my wife about this matter." ”
"Of course I can't say it, the emperor clearly said that he would appoint one of the young ladies of the official mansion as the queen, but now he doesn't know who he is the queen, if you say this, you will definitely cause trouble, so it's best for you to pretend that you don't know anything. As soon as Li'er's words came out, the maid immediately said what was at stake, and then pulled Li'er, "Go to work, don't talk about it, it will be bad if someone listens to it." ”
Shangguan Xiruo couldn't believe what she had heard just now, so she got up from the recliner leisurely, pulled the wound on her body, gasped in pain with a 'hiss', shook her teeth and pulled Shangguan Kexin's sleeve, and asked, "Sister, this is not true, right?"
"It won't be true, it won't be, let's go, let's go to my mother, my mother must know what's going on. Shangguan Kexin's face sank, his eyes flashed with a hint of determination, and he turned around and went to Mrs. Shangguan's courtyard.
In the courtyard, a lady is sitting leisurely in the gazebo to enjoy the coolness, holding a teacup engraved with golden silk hibiscus in her tender white hands, two golden butterfly earrings hanging on the cheeks are brilliant and dazzling, only the hairpin is red on the side of the bun, and the stars reveal the wealth.
"Mother, we have something to ask you. "Shangguan Kexin and Shangguan Xiruo went straight to the point as soon as they stepped into the courtyard gate.
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Shangguan turned her head sideways and swept Shangguan Kexin and Shangguan Xiruo slightly, and continued to taste the tea in her hand. On his wrist is a crimson bead chain, red as fire, and it is eye-catching.
"Mother, that's the case" Shangguan Kexin told Mrs. Shangguan word for word what she heard in the courtyard, only to see that the more Mrs. Shangguan listened, the more her face sank, and her eyes burst out with a cold light from time to time.
"It's a pity that I heard it with me, what Li'er said has a nose and eyes, why don't you call Li'er over and ask what's going on?"
"No need, since this matter has spread all over the streets and alleys, it seems that it will not be fake, when your father comes back, I will ask, see what is going on, you go back to the room first, don't think nonsense, my mother will definitely let you marry into the royal family, even if you can't marry the emperor, she will definitely let you marry the prince!"
"Then the daughter will be in the room first, mother. Shangguan Xiruo and Shangguan Kexin leaned over softly and replied.
