Chapter 44: Temptation in Secret

The wedding card in the palace was quickly sent to Ninghou's mansion, and Duanyue held the bright red silk paper in her hand, as if blood was splashed on the white paper, which was so shocking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She threw the wedding card on the table in fear of avoiding it, and the cuiguo who was lying on the table to wipe the dust shook in fright.

She looked at Duanyue angrily and pursed her lips aggrievedly. "The county lord is really! Scares me. She put down the rag in her hand, curiously picked up the lonely silk paper on the table, and looked at it carefully.

"This ......," she looked up timidly, stunned. But the county lord is going? ”

"How can I not go, even if I don't want to go again, my brother still drags me along." Her tone was very helpless, looking at the wedding card and sighing. "To be honest, I really don't want to go, I feel very embarrassed."

Cuiguo rolled her eyes and thought about it carefully. "Isn't it okay if the county lord says he's sick? No one will come to see if it's real or not. ”

"Always use your brain!" Duanyue glanced at her and immediately rejected her proposal. "This is too unjust and gentlemanly!" She held out her fingers to pick up the wedding card on the table, sighed and looked at it again. On the second day of the next month, it will be five or six days later, is it so urgent in the palace for fear of repentance?

Cuiguo stuck out her tongue mischievously by her star, immediately wiped the table clean, and stood aside obediently.

"You come and tell me what happened to Qin Yang, the daughter of the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Wei Que, the daughter of the prince's middle house." She frowned and turned to Cuiguo, asking puzzled. These two Duanyue have never been impressed, she has come into contact with a lot of people over the years, but the names of Qinyang and Wei Que are very unfamiliar.

"Miss Qin Yang is weak and rarely comes out, so it is natural that the county lord doesn't know her, but I heard rumors from others that Miss Qin Yang is extremely beautiful, and King Qinghe is really picking up treasures. But Miss Wei Que ......," Cuiguo hesitated in her tone. "The county lord should have seen it."

"Oh? Have I seen it? Duanyue thought about it carefully, why can't she remember, could it be that she forgot it?

Cuiguo nodded and explained. "When I was at the temple fair, the first person to provoke the county lord and Miss Yu was Miss Wei Que."

Duanyue was stunned for a moment. The arrogant and domineering girl in pink suddenly appeared in front of me, wouldn't it be so coincidental? She was very unconvinced, and asked Cui Guo Dao again. "You weren't by my side at that time, how did you know that she was Wei Que?"

Although Cuiguo has not seen it, he has heard a lot of words in the market. That Miss Wei Que is a well-known master, so no one has dared to come to the door to marry, so Lord Wei is shy to ask the emperor for marriage. Miss Wei Que is really exactly the same as her mother, Mrs. Wei, after being wronged by the county lord that day, Mrs. Wei said bad things about the county lord everywhere, and Cuiguo really couldn't listen to it. ”

"This Wei Que is too hateful!" Duanyue slapped the table angrily, and the teacups and teapots on the table trembled and clanged.

If Wei Que and Meng Tao marry and become Princess Zeyang, then the situation of the mandarin duck will definitely be even worse. Now that I think about it, most of the reason why Mandarin Yuan is so sad is because the person Meng Tao is going to marry is not someone else but Wei Que.

"I think King Zeyang is also a poor person, the emperor obviously knows that Wei Que is not a good candidate, why did he give marriage so casually." Cuiguo sighed regretfully.

Duanyue's original anger towards Meng Tao in her heart also turned into pity. Meng Tao's mother is just an insignificant concubine, with an average family, and there is no mother who is more expensive than a son and no son is expensive than a mother. Although Meng Tao is a prince, he is like a transparent shadow in the palace. Meng Yin did not get the title of prince because his mother was the queen, the emperor has always loved Meng Yin and did not think about what title to give, and Meng Yin was forgotten by the emperor.

"County Lord, are we still going?" Cuiguo asked cautiously.

Duanyue had no choice but to nod helplessly, she held her forehead and showed bitterness. "Go, you have to go. I'm too lazy to think about it, you can help me think about it, and pick out two congratulatory gifts for them. "Anyway, I am friends with Meng Yin and Meng Chen, and I still have to do a good job on the scene, so as not to look too stingy.

"Let me pick?" Cuiguo's mouth opened wide in surprise. "The county lord really tormented me, how can I have that ability."

"Go ahead and pick something valuable, no one will not like those rare treasures." Duanyue waved her hand and didn't bother to think about those things, so Cuiguo had to obey the order.

Duanyue suddenly thought of something, her face was pale, and there was a sly look in her eyes, without a helpless look just now. She hurriedly shouted to Cuiguo, who had stepped out of the threshold with one leg, and when Cuiguo heard this sudden shout, she immediately subconsciously turned her head and looked at Duanyue suspiciously.

"What else is there going on with the county lord?"

"There's nothing else, it's just that my sachet was lost by me a few days ago, you can help me embroider another one."

Cuiguo thought that something had happened, but it turned out that she was just embroidering incense sachets and breathing a sigh of relief. She smiled at Duanyue, smiling very innocently and brightly. "Okay, does the county lord have any favorite spices, I'll help you put them in."

"I don't know much about these spices or anything, so let's just put the taste you like." Duanyue narrowed her eyes at her and smiled lightly. She watched Cuiguo run out of the yard happily like a rabbit, Duanyue's smile immediately froze, and she looked at Cuiguo's back and talked about deep meaning.

Duanyue was left alone in the house, and she leisurely paced around the square room, enjoying the faint fragrance of flowers coming from outside the house. His eyes fell on the dry peach blossom branches in the porcelain vase, and the wind outside the window rustled on the leaves. She looked at the peach blossom branch and was stunned.

"What do you think?" The wind is used to the tense days in the camp, and now that he is resting in the house, he is a little overwhelmed, so he has to come to Duanyue here to promote the relationship between brother and sister.

Duanyue was not frightened, she turned her face and smiled sweetly at her brother. "I'm wondering what to give for the wedding."

"You don't have to think about this, I'll order someone to prepare it."

"That's not good, Meng Yin and Meng Tao have played with me since I was a child, and I always feel inappropriate if I don't send something in person." She tucked the hair loose on her forehead behind her ears and asked casually. "My brother can't stay in the house for a few days, when will he leave?"

"What? I've only been here for a few days, and you're in a hurry to get me away? He couldn't help laughing out loud and asked Duanyue rhetorically.

Duanyue pouted angrily and nodded indignantly. "yes, yes, my brother is gone, and I'll be free for a while."

Yan Feng touched Duanyue's head helplessly, and his eyes were full of pampering. "You just dream, I'll let Xia Chu stay by your side to protect you, don't quarrel with him."
