Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Banquet Turmoil
In the early morning of the next day, in the Xuanxiang Pavilion, Baoqing Baoyue was running back and forth, and Mama Qiao was standing behind Yu Xuanji, holding a comb and gesturing.
Looking at everyone's nervous appearance, Yu Xuanji couldn't help but feel funny, it was nothing more than going to the palace banquet, as if they were going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
"Mama Qiao, your usual style is fine, but if it is too outstanding and eye-catching, it will cause unnecessary trouble." Yu Xuanji glanced at Mama Qiao, who was embarrassed about what she swore to herself, through the bronze mirror, and sighed in her heart.
The palace is too much, and she naturally doesn't want to suffer unnecessary disasters because of this.
When Mama Qiao heard Yu Xuanji's words, she thought for a while, and sighed slightly, she also knew Yu Xuanji's thoughts, but now Yu Xuanji is also about to reach the age of Jilu, although it is the seventh aunt who is now in charge of the general's mansion, but the seventh aunt is just an aunt after all, and the eldest lady has to be the eldest lady to decide the affairs of the general's concubine, and now the eldest lady is very bad to her own young lady, how can she expect to find a good family for her own young lady?
Mama Qiao just wanted Yu Xuanji to dress up beautifully, so that she could also choose a good family.
Mama Qiao's sighing appearance made Yu Xuanji raise her eyebrows: "Why is Mama sighing?" ”
Mama Qiao didn't want to tell Yu Xuanji what she thought, after all, in Mama Qiao's eyes, no matter how smart and witty Yu Xuanji was, she was just a child in the end, but when she touched Yu Xuanji's eyes, she always felt that her eyes had a convincing charm, and she couldn't help but express her worries.
Hearing this, Yu Xuanji smiled, and inadvertently flashed Xuanyuan Hao's figure in his mind, and when he came back to his senses, his face was flushed, and he said slowly: "There is still a year before I can reach Xuan, maybe the back house of the general's mansion at that time is different from now." ”
Mama Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's the slave who is anxious." ”
"Whatever Mama said, Mama is also for my good." A trace of emotion flashed in Yu Xuanji's eyes, in her past and present lives, Mama Qiao has never abandoned herself, and she will never forget such a feeling.
A hint of relief flashed in Mama Qiao's eyes, and then she waved the comb in her hand and simply combed her hair into a bun according to Yu Xuanji's meaning.
Baoqing took a plain dress and dressed Yu Xuanji, and then walked out with Baoyue behind Yu Xuanji.
In the garden, Yu Xuanji met Yu Wanning and Yu Xinya, and the three of them looked at each other, then did not speak again, and walked out with their maids.
Today, Yu Zhiyuan could have taken Ning Wan'er with him, but Ning Wan'er really hurt Yu Zhiyuan's heart, so under Tong Lamei's pleading, Yu Zhiyuan took Tong Lamei with him.
Today's women, except for Yu Xuanji, have all dressed up well, especially Tong Lamei, who is dressed up in a fancy way, and her body seems to want to hang on Yu Zhiyuan.
Yu Linglong handed a shawl to Yu Zhiyuan, and said softly: "It's cold outside, master wear it, if you feel warm in the palace, you can take it off." ”
Tong Lamei looked at Yu Linglong, her eyes were full of provocation, hum, what if she is in charge? It's not that I can't get the lord's favor!
Tong Lamei's eyes were inadvertently touched by Yu Zhiyuan, she frowned, and then looked at Yu Linglong's graceful aura, and suddenly felt that Yu Linglong was many times stronger than Tong Lamei.
Liu Sisi's eyes turned slightly, and she said slowly: "It turns out that my sister's shawl is for the master, but I heard that my sister has stayed up late these days to make this shawl, and I thought it was for the fourth lady." Liu Sisi said, covering her mouth and laughing.
Yu Linglong's face turned red, although she didn't know why Liu Sisi wanted to make something out of nothing, but she also knew that Liu Sisi was helping her, and she didn't expose it.
Sure enough, when Yu Zhiyuan heard this, his eyes were full of love and pity, he stepped forward and held Yu Linglong's hand tightly, and a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "Linglong, I've worked hard for you." ”
Yu Linglong smiled slowly, and shook her head tenderly.
Seeing this, Tong Lamei was so angry that she glared at Yu Linglong fiercely, and turned to look at Yu Zhiyuan flatteringly: "Master, it's not too early, let's hurry into the palace!" As he spoke, he deliberately rubbed his full chest on Yu Zhiyuan.
Yu Zhiyuan let go of Yu Linglong's hand, glanced at Tong Lamei lightly, and said coldly: "I know, you go up first." As he spoke, he said a few more thoughtful words to Yu Linglong.
Tong Lamei got into the carriage angrily, and this scene was fully watched by Yu Xuanji, a sneer hooked up on her lips, lowered her eyes, and got into the carriage.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Yu Xuanji and others got out of the car and followed Yu Zhiyuan into the palace.
Along the way, Yu Zhiyuan kept instilling the rules of the palace to several people, Tong Lamei's disapproving face made Yu Zhiyuan very angry, if he hadn't arrived at the palace, he really wanted to drive her back!
Yu Wanning glanced at Tong Lamei lightly, and said slowly: "Auntie, you still need to pay attention to your identity, although the palace is good, but your father is a general, don't lose face to your father." ”
Tong Lamei's face turned red, and when she was about to refute, Yu Guang saw Yu Zhiyuan's slightly angry expression, and immediately closed her mouth and followed behind Yu Zhiyuan with her head down.
Yu Zhiyuan snorted coldly and strode forward.
Walking into the main hall, a group of officials saw Yu Zhiyuan and surrounded him, Yu Xinya went to her circle, and Tong Lamei quickly found someone she knew and mingled with those noble ladies.
Yu Wanning rolled her eyes and introduced herself behind Yu Xinya, although Yu Xinya looked displeased, she didn't say anything.
Yu Xuanji glanced at it lightly, and saw that she didn't see Xuanyuan Hao, and her eyes were slightly disappointed.
At this time, Bao Qing leaned into Yu Xuanji's ear and said a few words, and Yu Xuanji was stunned.
Baoqing smiled and said slowly: "The slave just got a note from Dark Lan, is the young lady going?" ”
Listening to Baoqing's joking words, Yu Xuanji's face was red, she glanced at Baoqing with disgust, and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Baoqing covered her mouth and snickered, Baoyue's face was also very happy, and said with a smile: "You dare to tease Miss, be careful about your skin!" ”
"Oh, Sister Baoyue will have to help me then!" When Baoqing heard this, he immediately pulled Baoyue to follow Yu Xuanji's footsteps.
Baoqing has been following Yu Xuanji for so long, when the cold character that the secret guard practiced has long been thrown away by her, and her original character has been restored, and because Baoyue often takes care of her, she is very close to Baoyue, and the two are like sisters, Yu Xuanji is also very relieved when she sees this.
Yu Xuanji avoided everyone and came to the rockery, and sure enough, she saw Xuanyuan Hao with a smile on his face.
Yu Xuanji smiled, walked over and asked slowly, "Why are you here?" ”
"Well, everything has been arranged, the evidence of the assassination of the eighth prince by the third prince is now on the emperor's desk, and now the emperor is afraid that he is going to summon several ministers." Xuanyuan Hao said lightly.
Yu Xuanji lowered her head and pondered, then raised her eyes, and her eyes showed a deep light: "Since Daddy will also be summoned by the emperor, now that the third prince has taken refuge in the crown prince on his face, Daddy will naturally protect the three princes. ”
"Not bad." Xuanyuan Hao glanced at Yu Xuanji appreciatively, and continued, "If Lord Yu no longer has the emperor's trust, then the queen's life in the palace will not be easy, if you continue to look for the prince's fault, I am afraid that Chu Zhaonan's position as the crown prince will not be kept." ”
Yu Xuanji raised her eyebrows, this is the result she wants!
"Chu Hongze is already scheming, so it's better to let the prince know what he is." Yu Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao and proposed his own proposal.
Xuanyuan Hao smiled mysteriously and said lightly: "Although the prince is stupid, the fifth prince is not stupid, I am afraid that Chu Ruize already knows Chu Hongze's thoughts." ”
"Got it? Then why did he ......" Before he spoke, Yu Xuanji paused, a trace of clarity flashed in her eyes, and she sighed, "There is really no brotherhood in the palace, and the temptation of that position is too great!" ”
Xuanyuan Hao nodded, and then said: "After moving the General's Mansion, aren't you afraid that your life will be sad?" ”
"What does it have to do with me?" Yu Xuanji raised her eyebrows slightly, and said lightly, "For me, the General's Mansion is just an inn where I can live permanently. ”
Xuanyuan Hao listened to Yu Xuanji's words, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, and when he was about to say something, his expression froze, and he said quickly: "Someone is here." And so quickly disappearing.
Yu Xuanji also heard the footsteps, and did not walk away, but just stood in place.
"Why are you here? Miss Four is also there? The voice of the Eighth Prince Chu Yuze came from outside, and Bao Qing found out that Xuanyuan Hao was leaving, so he responded, "If you go back to the Eighth Prince, our young lady thinks it's too noisy inside, so it's only here that it's clean for a while." ”
When Baoyue was struggling with how to answer, she heard Baoqing's words, and her heart settled down slightly, and she stood aside with her head down and didn't speak. Chu Yuze nodded, and after walking to the rockery, he saw Yu Xuanji standing here alone, raised the corners of his lips, and said slowly: "What is the fourth lady thinking?" ”
"The Eighth Prince." Yu Xuanji turned around, glanced at Chu Yuze lightly, and said slowly, "The Eighth Prince was attacked when he returned to Beijing, but is there any evidence to prove who did it?" ”
Chu Yuze naturally knew that he was attacked by Chu Hongze or the prince, but there was no evidence, he had been running around for this matter for the past few days, but he had been suffering to no avail, and now when he heard Yu Xuanji's words, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Yu Xuanji and said slowly: "Fourth Miss, do you have evidence?" ”
Yu Xuanji raised the corners of her lips and shook her head: "Xuanji has no evidence, but I heard that the emperor has summoned several ministers, I am afraid that this matter is discussed, perhaps, the emperor will send someone to find the eighth prince later, and then the eighth prince only needs to pretend to be confused." ”
Chu Yuze's eyes sank slightly, and he immediately understood Yu Xuanji's words, and smiled: "Thank you, Fourth Miss." After a pause, he continued, "What happened last time was my fault, I shouldn't suspect Fourth Miss, we're still allies, right?" ”
"Nature." Yu Xuanji turned around and smiled faintly, "I'm afraid that someone is looking for the Eighth Prince, so Xuanji will leave first." As he spoke, he walked out of the rockery from the other side.
Chu Yuze raised his eyebrows, and as soon as he walked out, he saw the emperor's personal eunuch quickly walking over, and Chu Yuze pretended to be puzzled and left with the eunuch.
Yu Xuanji walked into the main hall with Baoqing Baoyue, but saw that the gazes of everyone shooting at him were very unfriendly, with a thick disdain inside.
Leng Qianran walked over slowly and whispered, "There are rumors outside." ”
"Thank you." Yu Xuanji pretended to pass by Leng Qianran, stood aside, and directly ignored the eyes around her.
Chu Wanwan walked over, raised her eyebrows, looked at Yu Xuanji, then at Yu Xinya, and said lightly: "Yu Xuanji, is your poem really plagiarized from the eldest lady of the General's Mansion?" ”
Yu Xuanji raised her eyes, looked at the schadenfreude in Chu Wanwan's eyes, and smiled faintly: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." ”
"Oh?" Chu Wanwan smiled mockingly and looked at Yu Xinya, "Cousin, what do you say?" ”
