Chapter Twenty-Three: The Strange Fourth Miss

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the game, the scene of the game was set in the Imperial Garden, early, everyone dressed up, went to wait, Ruoshui and Zilan went, at a glance saw Yin Liyun surrounded by many daughters.

Originally, Ruoshui was still puzzled, according to the identity of the eldest lady of Yin Liyun Guogong's mansion, how could she be over twenty years old and not married, and later, after listening to some little palace maids, I learned that this Yin Liyun began to admire the nine princes Mo Yan from a palace banquet a few years ago, how can it be, although the nine princes are gentle, but they have been delaying and refusing to marry under the pretext of loving freedom, so that Yin Guogong mentioned it many times to no avail, this time, the emperor and the queen mother are not young, and no wife and concubine are not in place, so they organized this talent competition, In fact, it is to choose a concubine for the nine princes, although it is not explicitly said, but everyone knows it, no, the eldest lady of the Yin family came happily.

As for this Nine Princes, Ruoshui really doesn't know much, I only heard that he is an idle prince who doesn't love power and likes to eat, drink and have fun, but he is very trusted by the emperor and favored by the queen mother, and his appearance is said to be ** handsome, so he is also the object of many high-ranking officials.

"Ah, who is that? Our model of female virtue, the first lady is here. ”

With Qing Xuan's teasing voice, all the daughters turned their heads in unison, first looked at Ruoshui and were stunned, and then curled the corners of their mouths mockingly.

Ruoshui took small steps, walked over not fast or slow, her head was slightly lowered, her eyes were lowered, her face was quiet with a light smile, she looked gentle and dignified, followed by Zilan, she was also calm and atmospheric, but she was walking behind, and she was not famous, so no one noticed her.

Out of politeness, the two stepped forward to greet all the daughters.

The corners of Qianjin's mouth raised, and he said sarcastically.

"Yo, don't, Miss Ruoshui is a celebrity next to Mrs. Qian, and a celebrity in our Cangyue, we can't afford your gift."

Ling Qianjin immediately echoed.

"Isn't it, although we are serious daughters of famous families, we can't compare to girls, a girl can also participate in the palace competition, it's really a skill."

Seeing that they were sneering and sarcastic, a thousand gold was gone, and he squinted his eyes and said sharply.

"Heh, why do the two sisters say it so politely, I said, being a girl should be like a girl, beyond her duty, that's laughing and generous."

"That's it, that's it, we're all famous ladies, why be polite to ordinary people."

Everyone, you look at me and say a good and not warm, but it is undoubtedly some mean words.

Zilan's head lowered lower, her eyes were full of humiliation and unwillingness, although she was talking about Ruoshui, but why didn't she say it again, she quietly glanced at Ruoshui from the corner of her eyes, and saw that she was still smiling lightly, her expression was natural, as if she was not affected by words, too, this is Ruoshui that she has always been familiar with, no matter what she encounters, she is always calm.

"Okay, let's not say a word, if the water girl has both ability and political integrity, and she was recommended by Mrs. Qian, we should get along well."

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their eyes to the daughter who spoke, Ruoshui also looked over, it was a girl in a royal blue dress, the girl looked very quiet, a pair of smart eyes were looking at her friendly, Ruoshui also smiled at her gratefully, in this situation, it is rare for someone to say a good word to her.

A thousand gold gave her a blank look, and said very disdainfully.

"Miss Yin, this is not right, since ancient times, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, it is an eternal truth, how can it be confused at will, even if Miss Yin's parents died early, I believe in such a simple truth, the prince and Mrs. also have to teach Miss."

The girl's face changed, didn't she scold her for not having her father and mother to teach her? Thinking about his life situation, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he didn't have the courage to speak anymore.

At this moment, Yin Liyun opened her mouth without being salty.

"Alright," and glanced at the girl.

"Liyan is right, no matter what, since Miss Ruoshui is here, we can treat each other politely, if nothing else, it is Mrs. Qian's face, so we have to take care of it."

As soon as Yin Liyun spoke, all the daughters didn't say anything, but their expressions were still very disdainful.

Ruoshui was very surprised to look at the girl who helped her speak, she was still wondering how she was surnamed Yin, but it turned out to be Yin Liyan, the daughter of the second room master of the Yin family, Yin Lian, the second room master Yin Lian was originally a general, and Yin Liyan died on the battlefield when she was very young, and then her mother also died of depression when she was five or six years old, leaving the young Yin Liyan without anyone to take care of, so she had to live in the mansion of Uncle Yin Quan. Life is not very comfortable, and for Yin Liyan herself, she was too young at the time and her temperament was not real, but when she saw it today, she was a little kind.

Just as she was thinking about it, Yin Liyun spoke again.

"The sisters are joking, and the girls don't take it personally."

Looking at her always cold face, Ruoshui suppressed the grief and indignation in her heart, nodded with a smile, and then said.

"Then if the water doesn't disturb the ladies to talk." After speaking, she led Zilan to turn around and walk towards the corner where no one was around, they didn't want to see her, and she rarely talked to them.

Looking at Ruoshui's back, Qing Xuan, who had been watching the play, raised the corners of his mouth and walked up.

"This is going to be a competition today, I wonder how Ruoshui girl's piano practice is?"

Ruoshui looked at Qing Xuan's simple smile and replied politely.

"Miss Xie Si cares, just reluctantly."

"Hehe, that's a really polite thing."

After Qing Xuan finished speaking, he quietly looked at Ruoshui who was hanging his eyes, and a strange smile flashed in his eyes.

"However, if you want to win Sister Liyun, it is still a little difficult."

Ruoshui smiled and deepened.

"It's the same for Ruoshui, since it's learning from each other, what does it matter if you win or lose."

Qing Xuan glanced at her innocently and sneered.

"Come on, play dumb for me now, I don't believe you don't know what this game means."

Ruoshui smiled, frowned, and seemed to be puzzled.

"So what, what if you want to win the competition?"

She wanted to know, what the hell did these four young ladies want to do? But as the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief, not to mention the fourth lady who doesn't want to see her.

But seeing that the four young ladies were still smiling innocently, they pulled Ruoshui's hands and squeezed them, and whispered in their ears.

"It's right if you want to win, although I can't help anything, but I know that Sister Liyun's competition is a dance, it is her recently created Phantom Cloud Dance, this dance is very peculiar and dazzling, and it is very difficult, if the water girl must choose a good tune, otherwise it is unlikely to win."

"Oh~?"

Ruoshui pulled out his clenched hand without a trace, and wondered.

"Isn't Miss Fourth on good terms with Miss Yin? How can it help Ruoshui? ”

Moreover, if you want to help, I told her yesterday, so that she has time to prepare, no, I just said today, what is the reason, these four young ladies today, it is really weird, there are definitely ghosts.

The fourth lady glared at her angrily.

"Cut, don't believe it, if it weren't for the old lady telling the lady that we want us to take care of each other, I would have been able to take care of you." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ruoshui was even more puzzled, she knew that the fourth lady liked Yunyi, the son of the Yun family, so she wouldn't think about winning the game, but she would definitely not help her, but what she said just now, she couldn't see any conspiracy, she couldn't think of a reason for it, so she didn't want to do it at all, so she just didn't want to.
