Chapter Ninety-Seven: What the Princess Mansions See
Just as the two of them were talking, another car from the Liwang Mansion gradually approached, and the driver in the distance saw Nangong Yufeng's car, and reported to the inside while whipping the horse, "Princess, the prince's car is in front, it seems that you have been waiting for us for a while."

Princess Li lifted the sedan curtain, looked at it, and saw that Xi Cui's two maids were guarding outside the sedan chair, and when she didn't see Xi Cui and Yu Feng, she guessed that the two of them might be in the sedan chair, so she put down the sedan curtain angrily and answered the coachman at will.
As soon as Yingxiang Lixiang saw the princess's car approaching, she quickly knocked on the door of the sedan car and whispered to the two people inside. Nangong Yufeng poked his head out, looked at it, and then jumped out of the car, Xi Cui then came out, put his hand on Yufeng's hand, and was carefully helped down.
When the princess's carriage stopped, Yu Feng and Xi Cui were already standing and waiting.
Yu Feng stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the princess's sedan chair, wanting to help the princess get off the sedan chair, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he found a pair of delicate and small white jade hands in the palm of his hand, this is not the princess! Nangong Yufeng instinctively raised his vigilance, grabbed that hand, and threw a peach-colored shadow out five steps away with a strong pull.
only heard a scream, Xi Cui fixed his eyes and saw that He Rongyao had fallen at his feet. The brand-new peach-colored Luo skirt was covered with dust, the miserable little face was hung with two lines of tears, and the little white hands were bloodshot, which should have been bruised......
Princess Li leaned out of the sedan door halfway, her face was full of panic, and she pointed at Nangong Yufeng and was speechless for a long time.
Xi Cui hurriedly asked Yingxiang Lixiang to help He Rongyao up, only to find that her skirt had been torn several holes, her white underwear leaked out, and there were people all around her who were watching the excitement pointing at her. Where did He Rongyao suffer such humiliation, hugging her body and crying into tears.
But Xi Cui didn't bring extra clothes when she went out, and she couldn't change them for a while, so she could only ask Yingxiang Lixiang to quickly help people to the sedan chair.
The princess had already gotten off the sedan chair at this moment, shook off Nangong Yufeng's support and walked over, glanced at Xi Cui, snorted coldly, and got on the sedan chair here to see He Rongyao's injury.
Xi Cui glared at Nangong Yufeng, "Why don't you look at it?" What should I do if an eldest lady makes you throw so far and gets hurt? ā
Nangong Yufeng didn't answer for a long time, and after a while, he asked thoughtlessly, "Who is this person?" ā
Dare to love Nangong Yufeng hasn't seen He Rongyao himself? Then why did He Rongyao deliberately call him Yu Feng last time in Linlang Pavilion? Is there any truth in this girl's mouth?
"You really don't know?" Xi Cui asked.
Nangong Yufeng shook his head, "I haven't seen it!" The concubine didn't tell me in advance that there was someone else in her sedan chair! I thought something was wrong, so I made a move...... You can't seem to blame me for this, right? ā
Xi Cui said in his heart, I don't blame you, of course I don't blame you! That's what I think, but I don't know what the princess thinks.
Seeing that the princess had been staying in the sedan chair and not coming out, Yu Feng was a little anxious and knocked on the sedan door, "Mother, is that young lady seriously injured?" If it's serious, ask Yingxiang Lixiang to take her back to the house to see the injury first, and I'll explain it to the princess's mansion. It's not early, we can't delay any longer, if the emperor goes to us, let people say that we have a shelf in the palace! ā
Hearing him say this, the crying inside became even louder, but He Rongyao's words were extremely reasonable, and he Rongyao said, "Princess, what the prince said is right, or I won't go, you call me this picture...... But I can't blame Shizi for this, I was abrupt, and I should first show my identity. Princess, I'm only slightly injured, it's not a big deal, the reputation of the Liwang Mansion matters...... Besides, I just saw that Sister Xi Cui is also there, and it's the same with her with you......"
"Sister Xi Cui?" Nangong Yufeng glanced back at Xi Cui, "When did you have one more sister?" "To say that Nangong Yufeng doesn't know He Rongyao at all, Xi Cui believes it, but to say that he doesn't know this person at all, Xi Cui will definitely not believe it at this moment. Let's not talk about the squeeze on her in and out of his words, it is estimated that he knew that He Rongyao was in it from the beginning. Otherwise, with his skills, he can take half her life with just one move to deal with a powerless daughter, but what about just now? He Rongyao just made a lot of ugliness in public, and he didn't suffer much damage on his body, so he thought he was careful. Moreover, if he really suspected that the princess was in danger, how could He Rongyao throw her in front of him if she was a threat? If He Rongyao knew martial arts and was not injured, wouldn't he put Xi Cui in danger? Although Nangong Yufeng is impatient and impulsive on weekdays, he has not yet reached such a point of ignoring the future.
So Xi Cui felt that Nangong Yufeng was intentional at all, he just didn't want the princess to take He Rongyao to the princess's mansion with him.
Thinking of this, Xi Cui looked at Nangong Yufeng's eyes more kindly, yes, this guy's performance today is beyond imagination, and she is satisfied. Not only did the princess get rid of He Rongyao's entanglement, but she didn't need Xi Cui to do it herself, even if the princess was angry with her son, she wouldn't be able to stay overnight, but if the same thing was put on Xi Cui, the result would be different.
He Rongyao inside heard Nangong Yufeng squeezing himself like this, and he had no idea for a while, so he just hugged the princess and cried bitterly.
The princess was anxious and angry, and she felt sorry for He Rongyao, but she couldn't teach Nangong Yufeng a lesson in front of the public, so she had to comfort He Rongyao a few words, and left her personal maid to take care of her and accompany her to see the doctor. Only then did he follow Nangong Yufeng and lead Xi Cui into another carriage.
Since people don't want Yingxiang Lixiang to follow, Xi Cui can't force it, so she can only shirk it again, and finally take Yingxiang Lixiang away.
The journey to the princess's mansion was only half a pillar of incense, but the princess was stunned with a gloomy face of half a pillar of incense, and she didn't say a word to Yu Feng, let alone Xi Cui.
But Xi Cui found that Xiao Yi seemed to take special care of the princess, and sat at the princess's feet along the way, looking up at the princess, her eyes full of concern.
This bear child, who has been with her for so long, has never been willing to give her such a look? How to save the princess differently?
When he arrived at the princess's mansion, Nangong Yufeng got out of the car first, and then helped the princess down, followed by Xi Cui.
As soon as she got off the sedan chair, when there were outsiders around her, the princess's face immediately changed. With a dignified smile, he led Yu Feng and Xi Cui into the door, and greeted them generously when they saw their acquaintances. also kindly pulled Yu Feng to know a few familiar wives, and his attitude towards Xi Cui was also amiable, just like a scene of harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
After entering the Funan Palace, Yufeng took Duan San to the front hall, and the male guests were usually there. The princess took Xi Cui and Yingxiang Lixiang to the backyard, and most of the female guests were in the backyard.
Where there are many women, there are not many people, Xi Cui knows that once he enters, he really has to think twice about every word, even if it is a smile or a beckon, he must be careful. The women of the back house are idle all day long and patronize and study other people's words and deeds, who knows how many rights and wrongs can be attracted by your unintentional small action?
Fortunately, there is a small widow by her side.
There has never been a time when Xi Cui is more relieved by Xiao Yi's existence than now.
But Xiao Yi's eyes kept falling on the princess, as if the princess was his master. Although this did not disgust Xi Cui, Xi Cui still wanted to remind Xiao Yi. So he took a few steps forward to block between Xiao Yi and the princess, stared at Xiao Yi's eyes, and said in his heart, today is the time when I need you the most, don't you distract me at this time.
Xiao Yi glanced at Xi Cui and replied disdainfully, "Don't worry, I know what I should do." ā
Xi Cui still wanted to say something, Xiao Yu had disappeared.
In desperation, Xi Cui had to follow the princess carefully, greeting people with a smile all the way.
As she was walking, she suddenly heard a unique woman's laughter, and Xi Cui followed the voice, only to see a woman dressed in crimson brocade, dressed in a very luxurious costume, smiling and walking towards this side. The woman was probably too happy, laughing and shaking, the amplitude was a little large, and the golden ornaments on her head flashed one after another, which was particularly noticeable.
"Why did Princess Li come! Our princess was still talking about you just now! The princess was worried that you wouldn't come, so I said you would! The woman stepped forward and grabbed Princess Li's hand, and directly led it inside, "Princess, hurry up and follow the slave family in, our princess must be happy to see you." ā
The corners of the princess's mouth twitched, she reluctantly returned a smile, gently withdrew her hand, and slowed down her steps a lot, "It's really not right to bother Wang's mother to pick up the princess in person, what's the matter, is the princess sick?" Otherwise, why haven't I seen the princess come out to greet the guests after I have been in for so long? ā
Seeing that the princess stopped, the smile on the woman's face was a little unbearable, but she still laughed, lowered her voice and whispered in the princess's ear, "Princess, don't blame, our princess really can't get away from this matter, otherwise she will definitely pick you up in person." The princess was afraid that you would misunderstand, so she called the slave family to come over and said that as soon as she saw you, she would quickly bring you in......"
Xi Cui has been following behind the princess, although she hasn't spoken much, but her presence is really impossible to ignore. This Mother Wang naturally saw Xi Cui as well, and her eyes crossed the princess and smiled at Xi Cui, "This must be Miss Xi Cui, right?" Sure enough, it's a symbol of beauty! He day, princess, you should really lead our princess to meet her, but today is really inconvenient, the girl is not working here and waiting, the princess and the princess have something to say, it won't take much time, about half an hour How about you come here to pick up people? ā
Xi Cui looked at the princess, she didn't know this person, but the princess looked very familiar, she didn't look like she was a descendant who followed Princess Chaoyang, wasn't she Princess Yong'an? If it is really this Princess Yong'an, Xi Cui is really a little worried. But people say so softly, a princess in the hall is so condescending to talk to herself, if she doesn't agree, she seems to be a little ignorant. The princess nodded to Xi Cui, "You go around by yourself first, and I'll go talk to the princess." ā
Xi Cui nodded yes, and gave Yingxiang a look when she turned to leave, and Wang's mother only thought that Yingxiang was the princess's maid, and she didn't care and let Yingxiang follow in.
When Xi Cui left, she remembered Xiao Yi, she just pointed to this kid and told herself the identity of Wang's mother, who knew that this kid didn't say a word, and guessed it with her own brain. So Xi Cui left Lixiang in place and waited for herself, and then turned a corner to find a corner where no one was, Xiao Yi had been invisible since just now, she didn't know where he was, she could only close her eyes and shout softly, "Xiao Yi, you stinky boy, come out for me!" ā
"I know you blame me for not speaking just now, but I can't tell you what the woman thinks, because if I do, you won't call the princess, and it will be even more troublesome when the time comes. Fortunately, you left Yingxiang to the princess, so she won't have anything serious. This is the calamity she must go through, and it is also your chance, and I can only tell you so much. When Xi Cui opened his eyes, Xiao Yi was standing in front of him, and it seemed that he was also worried about the princess, but he had to pretend to be mature.
Xi Cui ignored him and called Lixiang over, and the master and servant just rested in this quiet corner.
But when there are so many people, where can there be a place that will be quiet all the time?
Soon there were several other people.
One of them, Xi Cui, has also seen. This person was the one he met with Xi Cui when he and He Rongyao were choosing gifts for the princess in Linlang Pavilion that day, but they didn't know the other party's name all the time. Obviously, the young lady also recognized Xi Cui, and saw that she led the other two young ladies to sit down not far from Xi Cui, and then came to Xi Cui's side alone.
"Miss Xi Cui, are you here alone?" She said hello and smiled on her face, but in her heart she was estimating how Xi Cui would answer and how she should react. Anyway, I didn't have a good heart.
Xi Cui smiled and replied, "I came with Princess Li, and the princess was called by the princess to speak just now, so I asked me to wait for her here." She paused and said a little embarrassed, "It's really rude, I met Miss for the second time but I didn't know Miss's identity yet, I don't know ......."
As soon as she heard that Xi Cui was coming with Princess Li, the young lady's face immediately changed, she looked around and asked, "Why didn't you see Miss He?" Didn't she come with Princess Li? As if remembering something, the young lady hurriedly smiled and explained, "I also heard that Miss He seemed to say that she was going to come over with Princess Li today when I was chatting with Miss He a day, maybe I heard it wrong!" What did the girl ask just now? Oh, I, my name is Li Yujin, my father's military department squire Li Wen. ā
"Miss Li is polite......" Xi Cui didn't continue the topic just now, and was about to leave after a salute, but was stopped by this Miss Li.
"Isn't the girl going to wait for the princess here? Why is this leaving? Then Miss Li followed behind Xi Cui unhurriedly, and her voice was neither high nor low, and the few young ladies who happened to come with her could hear it.
Xi Cui's name is not unfamiliar to every lady in the capital, and now when I hear Miss Li call the girl in front of me Xi Cui, how can everyone not come to join in the fun? So they all got up and came over, and they all surrounded Xi Cui, as if they were looking at some novel animal.
Li Xiang naturally couldn't let Xi Cui suffer such grievances, standing in front of Xi Cui and blocking the sight of these people. That Miss Li seemed to have realized that something had gone too far, and she had seen Xi Cui's methods, so if she really wanted to offend Xi Cui because of this, it didn't seem to be good for herself. To put it bluntly, she can't get used to Xi Cui, it's just that He Rongyao is upset, but it can be said that her relationship with He Rongyao is not good enough to be worth sacrificing too much for her.
So he hurriedly came out to play a round, pulled a few young ladies away, and gave Xi Cui a smile, "Miss Xi Cui is not strange, everyone is just curious." ā
Xi Cui knew that she was scared in her heart, after all, Xi Cui's identity is different now, and she still has the Liwang Mansion behind her, but because of such a trivial matter, she is afraid that the end will be even more ugly, so Xi Cui smiled, "I know, I think I Xi Cui is also famous in the territory of the capital, and I am very grateful to everyone who cares about Xi Cui, but ......"
"But today is Princess Chaoyang's engagement, how can everyone's attention be on Xi Cui and steal the limelight from the bride-to-be? You must know that she is the current princess of the rising sun! Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him, speaking for Xi Cui.
Xi Cui turned around and saw Wang Shaomei leading Linglong and a few maids of the Wang family standing behind her. Xi Cui greeted him with a smile, greeted Wang Shaomei, and looked around, "Why don't you see Yun Ting?" Didn't Princess Chaoyang say that she also gave Yun Ting a post today? ā
Wang Shaomei smiled and patted her shoulder, "Are you really so bad as Princess Chaoyang?" She didn't know what Yun Ting looked like, didn't she deliberately embarrass Yun Ting by bringing Yun Ting here at this time? Saying that, he pulled Xi Cui to the side and sat down, "I heard about Princess Chaoyang's return to your twilight, so you can bear with this matter and don't worry about her." She is actually a poor person, and she was ...... to Nangong Yufeng at the beginning Now she has to endure the pain of marrying him, and you ...... She is angry in her heart to seek you to Sasa, and this matter will pass...... You should pity her, okay? ā
It was the first time Xi Cui heard Wang Shaomei say such an empathetic word, and couldn't help but look at Wang Shaomei in surprise.
was a little embarrassed to be seen, Wang Shaomei pushed Xi Cui, "What are you looking at?" I have flowers on my face, huh? ā
Xi Cui smiled and turned her gaze away, Linglong sat beside them, without saying a word. She heard everything Wang Shaomei said to Xi Cui just now, but her face didn't change.
Seeing Xi Cui's suspicions, Wang Shaomei said with a smile, "Linglong has also changed a lot, since she entered the Wang family, she has taken care of Yun Ting as her duty, and she can be called conscientious in managing her family's career." Now my brother's attitude towards her is much better, and Yun Ting has begun to like her. No matter how bad her brother is, she always has to give her a chance to mend her ways, not to mention that Linglong is actually not that bad. I'm thinking of bringing her to meet you, and I'll tell you the same, and you'll give her back her deed of sale when you're almost done. ā
Linglong also cooperated with Wang Shaomei's words, and looked at Xi Cui while she pleaded. Xi Cui smiled at her, just this face, she really couldn't see any flaws.
It's a pity that none of them knew that Xi Cui had always had such a person as Xiao Yi by his side.
Xiao Yi told Xi Cui that Linglong was pretending at all, she was gambling, and betting on whether the Wang's family would really hand over her fate to an outsider like Xi Cui. She coaxed the brothers and sisters of the Wang family, and also coaxed Yun Ting, and now she is so committed to the whole picture, in addition to the trust of the Wang family, she also has the other half of the right to take charge, and in her eyes, Xi Cui has always kept it on her behalf, and sooner or later it will be handed over to the Wang family, once the things really reach the hands of the Wang family, she will have a chance to turn over.
