"If the second lady is also a concubine, I'm afraid it's no worse than the eldest lady!" Suddenly, Yu Linglong opened her mouth, her eyes full of regret.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Tong Lamei's hand tightened violently, and her eyes burned with fire.

Yu Xuanji raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect Yu Linglong to speak, but she was surprised.

Tong Lamei looked at Yu Linglong, and saw that her expression was normal, as if she was just sighing, and the thoughts in her heart became more and more intense.

Yu Xuanji saw the expressions of several people in her eyes, knowing that the time had come, and secretly nodded towards Chu Yuze and Xuanyuan Hao.

After eating, the female dependents left first, and as soon as Yu Xuanji returned to Xuanxiang Pavilion, Yu Wanning came to find her.

"The third sister drinks tea." Yu Xuanji motioned for Baoyue Baoqing to go down and sat on the stool on the side.

Yu Wanning smiled slowly and said, "What does the fourth sister think of the situation today?" ”

Yu Xuanji took a sip of tea, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, knowing that Yu Wanning was going to set her own words, but there was really nothing to hide about this matter, so she raised her eyes and said: "This matter depends on what the second aunt and the second sister think, we have done everything we can do, I think, there will be results before tomorrow." ”

Yu Wanning nodded; "It's still my sister who thinks about it." As he spoke, he looked out the window and drank tea without saying a word.

Seeing that Yu Wanning didn't want to speak, Yu Xuanji stopped making a sound, picked up the embroidery basket on the side, and found a few needle and thread colors to match.

"The Eighth Prince and Prince Xuanyuan, are the fourth sisters very familiar?" Suddenly, Yu Wanning spoke, with a hint of doubt in her tone, but her face was calm.

Yu Xuanji didn't raise her head, and said lightly: "It's not familiar, it's just acquaintance." ”

"Acquaintance? If they just know each other, why do the Eight Princes and Xuanyuan Gongzi want to help? Yu Wanning was even more puzzled in her heart.

Yu Xuanji raised her eyes, looked at Yu Wanning, and said with a smile: "Because I promised the Eighth Prince to embroider a picture of a hundred flowers for him to give to the eldest princess, and promised Prince Xuanyuan to ask for an invitation to the eldest princess's banquet for him." ”

Yu Wanning didn't expect Yu Xuanji to tell herself about the transaction between several people without hesitation, she was speechless for a while, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm just asking." ”

"It's not something that can't be said." Yu Xuanji smiled faintly, the matter of the invitation card is true, as for the hundred flowers, it was just a temporary thought of herself, just to deal with Yu Wanning's doubts, "Now that I am tied to the third sister, naturally I can't have a suspicion." ”

"That's what the fourth sister said." Yu Wanning changed the topic, "I don't know what the fourth sister thinks she should do next?" ”

"Wait!" Yu Xuanji put down the embroidered basket in her hand, and said lightly, "If the second aunt has a move, she will naturally come to the fifth aunt in person." ”

Yu Wanning frowned, thought for a while, understood, and smiled slowly: "I understand, then I won't disturb my sister's rest." With that, Yu Wanning stood up.

As soon as I went out, I saw the oncoming Yu Linglong and smiled: "Seventh aunt." ”

"Third Miss." Yu Linglong smiled and nodded, "Third Miss is leaving?" ”

"Hehe, yes, the fourth sister is inside." After Yu Wanning finished speaking, she left sideways.

Yu Linglong's smile froze on her face, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Mama Zhou on the side slowly spoke and said, "Auntie doesn't have to worry about Miss Four, the slave maid thinks Miss Four is very smart!" ”

Yu Linglong's heart tightened, and she said coldly: "Mama Zhou can do her own thing, the fourth lady is the master, but I can't manage it!" With that, he took a few quick steps and entered the room.

Mama Zhou squirmed her lips a few times, wanting to say something, but when she saw Mama Qiao coming over, she closed her mouth and followed Yu Linglong into the room.

"Auntie." Yu Xuanji saw Yu Linglong and shouted with a smile.

Yu Linglong's face softened slightly, took Yu Xuanji's hand and sat down, glanced at Mama Zhou and said, "You go down first, I'll talk to the fourth lady for a while." ”

Mama Zhou blessed her body and left.

Yu Xuanji felt strange, she always felt that there was some secret between Mama Zhou and Yu Linglong, but she also knew that if Yu Linglong didn't want to say, she couldn't ask no matter how she asked, so she could only keep the doubts in her heart and investigate them later.

"Kid, are you trying to deal with the eldest lady?" Yu Linglong asked in a low voice, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

Yu Xuanji didn't want to hide it from Yu Linglong, nodded, patted the back of Yu Linglong's hand comfortingly, and said slowly: "Auntie, don't worry, I will only plot behind this matter." ”

"That's good." Yu Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly, her brows furrowed slightly, and the heart she had just put down rose again, "What happened to the Eighth Prince and Prince Xuanyuan?" ”

Yu Xuanji's expression remained unchanged and told Yu Linglong the set of words she said to Yu Wanning, although Yu Linglong had doubts in her heart, but seeing that Yu Xuanji was not unusual, she could only choose to believe it.

Yu Linglong took a sip of tea and asked, "What can I do?" ”

Yu Xuanji smiled and shook her head: "Auntie doesn't have to do anything, just wait for the second aunt to come and find her, besides, auntie try not to come out and just go with the flow." ”

Yu Linglong thought for a moment and nodded: "I know what to do." After a pause, he wanted to say something, but after all, he didn't say anything, got up and left.

Falling Rain Garden

"Auntie!" Yu Huilan saw that Tong Lamei's face was not good, so she walked over and stopped talking.

Tong Lamei saw Yu Huilan, eased her expression, and asked, "What's wrong?" But what's the matter? ”

Yu Huilan nodded, waved away the subordinates around her, walked to Tong Lamei's side, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Tong Lamei did not show a surprised look, on the contrary, she was very solemn, as if she was thinking about what Yu Huilan said.

Seeing this, Yu Huilan's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, she knew that Tong Lamei also had the same mind as herself.

"Auntie, we have to do it, I don't want my marriage to be in the hands of the eldest lady!" Yu Huilan thought of what Chu Yuze and Xuanyuan Hao said today, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, "Auntie, you also heard today, I am not worse than the eldest sister, if I am a concubine, I will definitely be better than the eldest sister!" Saying that, Yu Huilan clenched her fists, full of unwillingness!

Tong Lamei took a deep breath and stood up, her tone was indescribably solemn: "Huilan, I know you are unwilling, how can your mother be willing?" In terms of family background and appearance, I am no worse than Ning Wan'er! The only difference is that I entered the door later than her! ”

"Mother, what are you going to do?" Yu Huilan hurriedly asked, and then seemed to think of something, and said hesitantly, "The eldest lady is not easy to deal with, and the eldest sister, she also ......."

"I know." Tong Lamei replied lightly, "Neither of them nor mother and daughter are easy people to deal with, but it doesn't matter, if one person can't deal with it, then two people, and if two people can't deal with it, then three people!" ”

"What do you mean...... Yu Huilan's eyes lit up, "Do you want to unite with others?" ”

"Not bad!" Tong Lamei sat down, picked up the tea in her hand, took a sip of it, and calmed down, "This matter must be well planned, and Ning Wan'er must be pulled down in one fell swoop!" ”

Tong Lamei's eyes flashed with determination, and she seemed to have sensed that the position of the head of the General's Mansion was beckoning to her.

Yu Huilan's eyes were also full of light: "Don't worry, mother, you will definitely succeed!" ”

"Yes, but for now, you still have to be by Yu Xinya's side, don't let her see the flaws!" Tong Lamei said slowly, a smile on her lips.

Yu Huilan nodded, indicating that she understood, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes.

Ting Lan Court

Yu Xinya sat beside Ning Wan'er with a frown, her eyes cold.

"Ya'er, are you ready for the performance at the eldest princess's banquet?" Ning Wan'er wiped the corners of her mouth, looked at Yu Xinya, and asked slowly.

Yu Xinya nodded; "Mother, don't worry, I'm all ready." After a pause, he said, "Mother, I heard that Yu Xuanji is also going to the banquet!" ”

"Oh? Where did she get the invitations? Ning Wan'er frowned slightly and asked.

Yu Xinya sneered and said, "I also accidentally saw that the Eighth Prince gave the invitation to Baoyue beside Yu Xuanji. ”

Ning Wan'er raised her eyebrows, looked at her daughter, and said for a long time: "The biological mother of the eighth prince is Concubine Yi Niangniang Yun Yuerong, although the former queen is her sister-in-law, but the emperor does not love him, since Xuanji likes that girl, then fulfill her!" ”

Yu Xinya was slightly stunned, she didn't understand what Ning Wan'er meant for a while, and said disapprovingly: "Mother, what are you talking about?" If Yu Xuanji marries the Eighth Prince, then she will be the Eighth Prince's Princess, hmph, this is not cheap for her! ”

"The princess?" Ning Wan'er smiled ruthlessly, "If you hire a wife, you will be a concubine!" She Yu Xuanji doesn't even have the qualifications to be a concubine! ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Yu Xinya's eyes: "Mother, what are you going to do?" ”

"At the eldest princess's banquet, if such an unclean thing happens, the eighth prince will also be disgusted by the eldest princess, and it can be regarded as indirectly helping your cousin......" Ning Wan'er said slowly.

When Yu Xinya heard Ning Wan'er mention Chu Zhaonan, a trace of imperative light flashed in her eyes.

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruo's mother, Ning Wan'er naturally understood Yu Xinya's thoughts, and also agreed very much, and said with a smile: "Ya'er, go to the palace with me tomorrow to see your aunt!" ”

"Yes, mother!" A faint smile appeared on Yu Xinya's face.

At night, Yu Xuanji sat in front of the bronze mirror and let Baoyue untie the ornaments on her head for her, while Baoqing watched curiously from the side.

"Miss, I heard that today's Xuanyuan Gongzi was seriously ill and was carried back to Wanhualou, which alarmed a lot of people! Now it's all over the streets......" Baoyue told Yu Xuanji what she had heard.

A playful smile flashed in Baoqing's eyes.

Yu Xuanji raised her eyebrows, did he overact?

"What's going on out there?" Yu Xuanji asked casually.

Baoyue said with a smile: "It was said that Xuanyuan Gongzi liked the eldest lady, and his confession was rejected, so he vomited blood angrily!" ”

"Poof......

Baoqing on the side couldn't help laughing, and when she felt Baoyue's puzzled eyes, she immediately stopped her mouth, but her flushed face told others that she was holding back very painfully.

Yu Xuanji also had a smile in her eyes: "Hehe, it's interesting." ”

"Interesting?" Suddenly, a man's muffled voice came from the room.

Baoyue was startled, and immediately turned around, but saw Xuanyuan Hao sitting in his position with a smile, where was he still terminally ill!

Yu Xuanji raised her eyebrows: "Prince Xuanyuan is not recuperating well, what are you doing in Xuanxiang Pavilion?" ”

As he spoke, Yu Xuanji stood up, put on his coat, and glanced at Xuanyuan Hao.

Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows and spit out two words: "Invitation." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Yu Xuanji's eyes, it was just an invitation, she originally wanted Baoqing to send it over, but she didn't expect him to come to pick it up in person, this invitation is so important?

Although he was puzzled, he still handed one of the two invitations brought by the eighth prince to Xuanyuan Hao, Xuanyuan Hao took it, but he touched Yu Xuanji's hand, the soft and warm touch, which made him reluctant to let go.
