Chapter 14:-for-tat
Zheng Quan often goes in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, although he has not seen Miss Seven in the Prime Minister's Mansion a few times, but Miss Seven's appearance has always been impressive, so he recognized it at a glance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Why are you here?" Zheng Quan asked in some surprise.
Su Ximei raised her eyelids, looked at Zheng Quan's wine-colored eyes, and suddenly grinned happily.
"You—You're your cousin?" As he spoke, he reached over and grabbed the corner of Zheng Quan's clothes.
Zheng Quan hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, with a look of disgust. He didn't answer, his eyes widened, and he walked straight with the person behind him.
Zheng Quan is the second son of Zheng's father's brother-in-law, is an insatiable treacherous villain, when Su Luo married King Ling, King Ling allowed Zheng Quan to enter the palace and take care of the affairs of Su Luo's courtyard.
Now he is the most important housekeeper of the Lingwang Mansion.
Su Ximei glanced back at Zheng Quan's figure, her eyes cold. Then she walked through the corridor through the flowers and walked to the garden of the banquet of the Lingwang Mansion.
If Zheng Quanzhen found out that something was wrong, she was already in a crowded place, and he would have no way to deal with her.
At this time, a woman's laughter suddenly came, and Su Ximei looked up to see a group of gorgeously dressed ladies slowly walking from the water pavilion and bamboo garden on the left.
Su Ximei frowned, raised her feet and walked forward, not wanting anyone to see her.
"Isn't this the Seventh Sister? What are you doing here? The man's voice was mixed with the wind, and the arrogant tone could be heard.
Su Ximei met her eyes and called "Third Sister".
Su Xin held her chin high, and took a few steps to block in front of her, wearing a bright red embroidered peony pleated skirt, which was very eye-catching, which made Su Ximei squint unconsciously.
"Seventh sister, didn't Daddy let you step out of the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why are you so disobedient! She said, in a stern tone, with the reproach of being an older sister.
The ladies behind her all smiled as they listened.
Who doesn't know that the seventh lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a stupid person who can't get on the stage, and even the dignified Xiangye can't hold his face, so he locks her in the mansion and doesn't let her come out to see people.
Su Ximei also felt a little emotion in her heart, it turned out that Miss Seven rarely went out to banquets because Su De didn't let her step out of the Prime Minister's Mansion casually!
If you think about it, you can understand that Su De attaches so much importance to the reputation of the Su family, how could he let the unbearable Miss Seven go out and be embarrassed!
Su Ximei suddenly smiled, her eyes were as bright as the morning sun.
"Third sister, I just want to come and see the eldest sister." She said, but her tone was unyielding, "The eldest sister has been married to the King of Ling for several years, except for the Guining banquet, she has not returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, as a younger sister, I should come to visit." ”
"Then you can't just leave the Prime Minister's Mansion casually!" Su Xin was a little unhappy when she saw her reply, "Even if you want to come to see the eldest sister, you have to get your father's consent." ”
Su Ximei shook her head.
"Third sister, I just came to visit the eldest sister, my father has always attached importance to family affection, the eldest sister is his daughter-in-law, we came to visit her as sisters, and my father will not blame us." She said softly, and there was no disrespect, just a plain statement of a fact.
What a concubine!
She is the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Su Xin's face was a little unpleasant.
And as soon as these words came out, the young ladies who accompanied Su Xin had a little understanding in their hearts.
Su Xin was originally born to the aunt of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if Su Ximei hadn't mentioned it, probably they would have forgotten that Su Xin was actually a concubine's daughter, and compared with their young ladies, her identity was incomparable.
Su Xin's sense of superiority in front of them also fell to the bottom. But Su Xin has always regarded herself very highly, and she also considers herself the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she will not feel that she occupies the magpie's nest at all.
"Seventh sister, you are really, why did you come by yourself?" She smiled and reached out to hold Su Ximei's hand, "You should talk to me, I will tell the second sister about it, and let the second sister take care of it." ”
The second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is deeply favored by the King of Ling, and the ladies in the capital have more or less heard of this matter.
The affairs of the back house in the Lingwang Mansion are also in the hands of Su Luo, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the eldest lady Su Hui seems to have no status in the mansion.
Thinking like this, the young ladies who followed Su Xin all smiled close to her.
Su Ximei smiled.
"Third Sister Lao is bothered." She said softly, "I'm here to see the eldest sister, not the second sister, so naturally I don't need the second sister to do anything." ”
The smile on Su Xin's face froze for a moment, and those young ladies were also stunned.
No matter what, Su Hui is also the princess of the Lingwang Mansion, and no matter how favored Su Luo is, she is just a side concubine, and she can't do anything.
However, the seventh lady of this prime minister's mansion is really straightforward, so Su Xin is probably so angry that her intestines are blue.
The ladies all watched it with the attitude of watching a good show.
They didn't have much contact with Miss Su Qi, and they heard that her "big name" was a Fengyue incident that spread throughout the capital in the past two months.
It is said that the seventh lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is infatuated with Fang Xin, the second son of Fang Hongwen, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, but that Fang Xin is the best among the scholars of the country, how can she like a stupid concubine?
Therefore, as soon as this matter came out, it attracted the sneers of the self-proclaimed noble sons in the capital, and even the young ladies couldn't help but disdain this seventh young lady.
It's just that at the moment, this Miss Su Qi is not so dull.
Su Ximei calmly withdrew her hand under the gaze of countless scrutiny around her, smoothing the gauze skirt blown by the wind, and didn't seem to feel that she had said anything excessive.
"Seventh sister, are you here too?" Someone suddenly asked with a smile.
Su Ximei looked up and followed the sound of talking, and saw a woman dressed in the same delicate gorgeous dress walking over from a small path on the side.
It was Su Ting, the daughter of the fifth aunt of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Su Ximei nodded.
"Fifth sister." She called.
Su Xin tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"Fifth sister, what a coincidence." Her voice was a little cold, but she smiled and looked at Miss Su Wu who walked slowly.
Su Ting ignored her, turned her head and looked at Su Ximei's face, looking a little stunned.
"Seventh sister, it's not me who is the fifth sister who said you, our third sister is a person who wants to be faced, how can you embarrass her in public?" As she spoke, she shook her head, her eyes showing worry.
Miss Seven's fifth sister is beautiful, but she is a competitive character, and she will say anything if she can't see anything, unlike Zheng's mother and daughter.
Su Ximei lowered her eyes and responded: "The fifth sister taught a lesson." ”
Su Xin grabbed her cuffs, and her face turned pale with anger.
This damn stinky girl is very well-behaved at this time.
"Fifth sister, how can you talk like that?" She looked at Su Ting, suppressed her anger, and tried her best to make her tone sound soft, "The seventh sister is the youngest, if there is something about three long and two short things when she goes out of the house in private, how sad should my father be?" I, as a sister, should remind her that there must be a rule for doing things! ”
Su Ting suddenly smiled.
"The identity of the third sister is really different now, and it is no wonder that the second sister, as the side concubine of the Lingwang Mansion, actually manages the affairs of the palace, which is really up and down."
