There was only one cup of tea in the guest seat, and the tea was so thick that the people had already left. The beautiful and graceful woman sat upright on the couch, her eyes were sharp, and a shallow smile hung on her face.
A man rushed in, stared at the woman in the seat and asked, "Mother, why did you do this?" β
Princess Taiping glanced at the people who came in, and didn't care much, "It's not your turn to ask about my affairs." β
"Mother!" Xue Chongjian was indignant.
Princess Taiping raised her eyes and stared at her son, with a solemn expression, "I tell you, Hugh must intervene, otherwise the family law will serve." β
With that, she got up and left, and walked past her son who was standing in the center, without a trace of expression on her beautiful and noble face.
"Mother!" Xue Chongjian turned around and shouted at the figure of the person who left without looking back, his hands clenched into fists, helpless. Now his mother doesn't want to listen to even the slightest opinion from him! Scold! Mo said that now, even in the past, she has always been bent on going her own way, and he, the so-called most favored son, is nothing more than a capable errand runner by her side.

Yang Mansion, Courtyard.
The young girl walked in quickly from outside the house, her steps were very messy.
Inside the house, Jing Ci was having lunch, and when she heard something strange, she put down her chopsticks, "What's wrong?" Before the young girl could speak, Jing Ci had already looked at her and asked.
The young girl lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips and said, "The eldest lady was ready to leave the house half an hour ago, and now she ...... I have arrived at Princess Taiping's house. β
"What?" Jing Ci's eyes widened, and he was extremely surprised by this. As far as she knew, the eldest sister had clearly fallen out with Princess Taiping, why did she suddenly come together again?
"The eldest lady's trip is quite secretive, she made a big circle, and set up a trick, but she still let our people follow it successfully."
The eldest sister and Princess Taiping...... Jing Ci thinks it's ironic, it's true, there are no eternal enemies, only common interests.
A common good? Jing Ci was stunned.
She lowered her eyes and was silent for a long time before she spoke, "Young girl." β
"The slave is here." The young girl took a few steps forward and attached her body to her master. Knowing the master, she knows that the master has to make a big decision this time.
Jing Ci pressed to her ear and whispered instructions.
After finishing speaking, Jing Ci took out a brocade box and opened it with his own hands, and a delicate and magnificent jade seal was placed in the brocade box. She stared at the jade seal for a long time, thinking carefully, but then seemed to hesitate.
In the end, Jing Ci snapped and closed it and handed it over to the young girl.
"Slaves and maids will not fail in their mission." The young girl took the brocade box with a resolute expression.
Jing Ci's expression was not very good, compared to the young girl's determination, she hoped that this trip would be too much.
Outside the window, it began to rain again, and as soon as the spring rain fell, the flowers and plants in the courtyard became new in a few days. In the blink of an eye, it is already late spring, and it is almost cold and clear, and there is more sorrow than the vitality of spring.
In the afternoon, the rain had just stopped.
A maid entered the house and spread the word that Princess Changning had invited Siniang to the house as a guest.
Jing Ci couldn't help but feel strange, Princess Changning suddenly invited, I don't know what it meant. Even though I was puzzled, I got up and went out.
Before going out, Jing Ci glanced at the young girl, as if asking, the young girl understood, and signaled that everything was ready.
"Qingnu, Fang Nian, you stay in the house."
"Siniang, let's follow." Fang Nian begged, she didn't worry about her master.
"Siniang, this trip is invited to Princess Changning, there shouldn't be anything wrong, let's follow." The young girl also spoke.
Jing Ci shook her head expressionlessly, she didn't want to take the slightest risk, "The world is unpredictable, I can only rest assured that you are in the mansion, besides, if something happens at that time, taking care of you will only make me shackled." "In the final analysis, Qingnu and Fang Nian are both weak girls who have no kung fu.
"Okay then." Fang Nian pouted, she didn't want to affect her master.
"Siniang must be careful in everything."
Jing Ci nodded, and then stepped into the carriage without looking back, and went to Princess Changning's Mansion alone.
Watching the carriage go away, the two girls kept looking around, and their faces couldn't help but have a trace of melancholy.
"...... said" Fang Nian was just about to speak, but the young girl grabbed her hand and glared at her. Fang Nian hurriedly shut up, pursed her lips, and walked to the courtyard with the young girl as if nothing had happened.
It was the coachman of the Yang Mansion who drove the horse, and the carriage was quite fast.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage had already run out of several squares.
Jing Ci shook a little uncomfortable, and felt a little strange in her heart, so she reached out and pushed open the window, a trace of strangeness flashed in her eyes, and she immediately spoke, "Didn't you go to Princess Changning's Mansion?" β
"Siniang, Princess Changning is now a guest at Princess Taiping's Mansion, and I ordered the servants to take you directly to Princess Taiping's Mansion." The coachman who was riding the horse outside said, and his tone was quite respectful.
Sure enough, Jing Ci unconsciously tugged on his palm.
Ginger is still old and spicy! Princess Taiping can completely deceive her into the mansion in the name of others. Moreover, Princess Taiping knew that she would not fail to attend Princess Changning's invitation.
Even though the situation in front of her was like this, Jing Ci was not too worried, but fortunately, she was fully prepared.
The driver pricked up his ears all the way, paying close attention to the sound in the car, but Siniang in the car did not make a sound all the way.
Moment.
"Phewβ"
The carriage finally stopped.
The car door was opened by people outside, and at some point, two maids and two maids were standing outside.
Jing Ci in the car secretly glanced at them a few times, the two little guys had strong limbs, and they should be people who knew kung fu.
"Yang Siniang, please get out of the car, Princess Changning has been waiting in the house for a long time." One of the maids stepped forward and bowed his head respectfully.
Jing Ci got out of the car neatly, looking up at the magnificent and splendid mansion in front of her, it was not the first time she had come, this time...... I'm really not sure if it's a Hongmen banquet.
"Yang Siniang, please-" The two little guys stepped forward in person, looked at Jing Ci with burning eyes, and stretched out their hands to signal to enter the mansion.
A smile flashed at the corner of Jing Ci's mouth, and he stepped into the mansion with his legs open.
The maids and servants who answered at the gate of the mansion couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, it was better to be able to successfully complete the mission, and it was better not to do it.
The servant led it all the way to the hall.
Outside the palatial hall, there were several delicate maids waiting for orders, and the little maid with the words of thorns did not pass it on, and brought her directly into the house.
In the house, Princess Taiping sat on the main seat, with a smile on her face, and the two good-looking maids on the side gently shook the fan in their hands, serving the master in a proper manner. The guest seat is Princess Changning, smiling and smiling, with a soft expression, as if talking about some interesting topic, just rising.
Jing Ci saw the harmonious two people in the house, and she was slightly surprised, it turned out that Princess Changning was really in Princess Taiping's mansion, and she thought that Princess Taiping was ......
"Yang Siniang is here." Their eyes shifted to the person who had just entered the room.
Jing Ci lowered his eyes and blessed his body respectfully, "I have seen the eldest princess of Taiping and the princess of Changning, and the two princesses are fine." β
"Get up, take your seats." Princess Taiping raised her chin.
At this time, two maids entered with a plate of fruit and put it on the table of the three people. The fruit on the plate is golden and plump, and it is very fresh and fresh.
"This is a fresh loquat from Lingnan after a few days and nights of fast horses, you have a good mouth today." Princess Taiping smiled.
"Changning is gone." Princess Changning's expression was soft.
Jing Ci looked at Princess Taiping, turned her head slightly, looked at Princess Changning on the other side, and chuckled: "I heard that Princess Changning was invited, and Yang Siniang also hurried over. β
Princess Changning saw Jing Ci looking at her, but her eyes moved down slightly, looking at the fresh loquat, and did not accept the other party's direct gaze.
Seeing Princess Changning's reaction like this, Jing Ci secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good, isn't it......
"It's not early, Erlang is still sick with a cold, I should go back to the house to take a look." Princess Changning hadn't tasted the fresh and rare loquat, so she suddenly got up and said to Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping immediately nodded, "Okay." β
