Chapter Thirty-Eight: Working with the Prime Minister's Daughter
On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, the sun was shining and the weather was very good, Yuan Jinning and Qin Yuanyi made a carriage and rushed to the palace together.
Qin Yuanyi had already spread the news according to Yuan Jinning's plan, and then sent someone to keep an eye on Sun An and record his every move.
In order to speed up the revelation of his feet, Qin Yuanyi also searched for the subordinates of various ministers, and the matter was in an uproar.
"Put him out of sight before all men this day. Qin Yuanyi said coldly, just making a big deal about it, even if the prince and the emperor wanted to protect him, they couldn't keep it.
Yuan Jinning nodded, this is indeed the safest method, of course, if it doesn't succeed, Qin Yuanyi will be honest.
"What if it fails?"
Yuan Jinning picked up the pastry and put it in his mouth, and his pink little tongue flexibly rolled in the crumbs that fell on his hands, with a satisfied face.
Silently retracting his gaze, Qin Yuanyi coughed: "It won't fail, when the time comes, you will know." ”
Raising his eyebrows, Yuan Jinning didn't ask any more.
Sitting in a soft correction came to the gate of Cining Palace, where the birthday banquet was held, Yuan Jinning couldn't help but sigh that she didn't even let the carriage into the palace last time.
The hall is magnificent, with men and women of all colors walking back and forth, cups and candles, and dazzling light on the top.
Yuan Jinning looked up, and the things that covered the entire roof were actually the pearls of the night!!
All of them!
The one in the middle was bigger than an adult man's fist, and Yuan Jinning would never admit that he had the idea of stealing it, it was too tempting.
Walking to the center, a group of officials saluted one after another, and seeing Qin Yuanyi talking to some people, Yuan Jinning retreated with interest.
Before the banquet began, Yuan Jinning strolled to the backyard, it is said that the Queen Mother loved Phalaenopsis very much, and she saw the purple and red in the courtyard from a distance.
There was a faint silver bell-like laughter of a girl among the flowers, full of innocence.
Yuan Jinning smiled at the corner of her mouth, lowered her eyes and held a purple flower, today she happened to be wearing purple and blue clothes, the matte neon feather coat had a gorgeous simplicity under the light.
Butterfly hairpins of the same tone will tie up all the strands, and the sideburns will be half covered by white ears.
The long pendant swayed slightly with her movements, and the purple butterfly at the end seemed to be alive, dancing.
The beauty closes her eyes and sniffs lightly, a picture of amazing years.
Countless passers-by stopped to watch, trying to record this beautiful scene with their eyes.
When Yuan Jinning straightened up, a woman suddenly appeared in front of him.
Wearing an ice blue silk robe, her face is relatively ordinary, but her temperament is noble and elegant, and her head is always held high, all of which show that she has a wealthy family and is a standard lady.
She smiled lightly at Yuan Jinning: "You are the princess regent, Yuan Jinning?"
Ordinary people listen to her name, let alone talk, and they don't even dare to get close, after all, they are the people of the 'Heavenly Evil Lone Star'.
Since she is so polite to herself, she has no reason to be cold-faced.
Yuan Jinning smiled back: "I am, what about you?"
The other party blessed his body, and his movements were full of elegance: "My name is Xiao Xiangxiang, and I have seen the princess." ”
Yuan Jinning was stunned.
The surname Xiao can be ranked in Kyoto, only the Prime Minister's Mansion is the Prime Minister's Mansion, could it be that she is the daughter of the Prime Minister who married Feng Peiyan as a side concubine?
"The prime minister's daughter?" Yuan Jinning was puzzled, and after getting the other party's nod, he continued to ask: "What are you looking for me?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that you, as Yuan Lingwu's sister, must be very familiar with her, right?"
As a side concubine, this person called Yuan Lingwu's maiden name, and when she was mentioned, the look of disgust on her face was not concealed.
Also, can Yuan Lingwu's character of the White Lotus not be disgusting?
"It's not familiar, it's just a concubine, and I don't pay much attention to her. After Yuan Jinning learned that the other party hinted at his camp, he didn't bother to hide it.
"Hehe!" Xiao Xiangxiang covered his mouth and smiled, his eyes flickered, and the dark light flickered: "It's very good, but a concubine can give me such a headache." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Xiangxiang paused and observed Yuan Jinning's expression.
But the curvature of the corners of Yuan Jinning's mouth remains the same, and she can't see her true thoughts, this woman is not simple.
While Xiao Xiangxiang was secretly frightened, he also determined the other party's attitude, and he also hated Yuan Lingwu!
"Why don't we join forces, you see, neither of us is very kind to see that concubine, I can cooperate with your plan to fix her. And you, just need to help me pull this down?
Yuan Jinning was a little surprised by Xiao Xiangxiang's straightforward words, and she didn't expect that everyone would scold people.
Originally, she wanted to cooperate with Xiao Xiangxiang, but now she came to the door by herself to throw an olive branch, and she didn't answer it in vain.
"How could I be willing to fix my lovely sister?" Yuan Jinning's face turned cold, and he lifted Zhu Ko and stroked the flower core: "Of course I am...... If she wants to live, it is better to die. ”
The woman opposite was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed, both of them were ruthless characters, saying such vicious words, but they still had a smile on their faces.
Passers-by who watched from afar thought that the two were talking about some family things and trivial things.
I really don't know, the two have already discussed how to kill a person.
"It was a pleasure to work with. ”
As soon as Yuan Jinning's words fell, a figure walked towards the side hall out of the corner of his eye.
The side hall is used to store the birthday gifts given to the Queen Mother, so where do the slaves and maids go?
"I've got a little bit of a business, one step ahead. Nodding to each other, the two parted ways.
Yuan Jinning followed the figure to the side hall, which was sparsely populated, and generally no one passed by, but he happened to see it from that angle, and he also lost his eyesight.
The heavy door only opened a small crack, and Yuan Jinning didn't dare to rush in, so he had to hide behind the wall and wait patiently for the people inside to come out.
After a while, the maidservant came out sneakily and carefully closed the door. Holding a package in her hand, and the corner of that package was revealed, it was the blue sea and blue pearl that she and Qin Yuanyi were going to give to the Queen Mother!
Unexpectedly, he still came to himself, and Yuan Jinning's eyes sank.
After the maidservant left, Yuan Jinning quickly entered the side hall, found their gift box and opened it, a foul smell came to his nose, it was actually a maggot mouse!!
Qin Yuanyi is not the Queen Mother's biological son, and even if the Queen Mother is good to him, she is far inferior to her own son Feng Qianyuan.
If this thing is 'given' to the Queen Mother, what a blow it will be to Qin Yuanyi's power.
Yuan Jinning was furious, covered the box, and then turned to leave, returning to the main hall to find Qin Yuanyi as quickly as possible.
There is still an hour before the feast, and it is still too late.
The most eye-catching person in the crowd was Qin Yuanyi, many women surrounded him, but they didn't dare to approach.
Yuan Jinning rushed forward and grabbed Qin Yuanyi's hand: "Follow me!"
