Chapter 179: The Feast of the Hung Gate (1)

The season of early spring is still a little cold, and Xu Zigui, who has been sitting outside for half a day, has already felt a slight coolness at this moment, and is about to get up and say goodbye, but I don't know who said it loudly

"I have long heard that the Lord of Yunjin is talented and beautiful, why don't we all see it today?"

Xu Zigui frowned slightly, Shao Qingyuan and Zheng Jiaying did not come to participate in the flower viewing party of the eldest princess of Linhai because they were about to get married, Xu Ziyun still wanted to use her these days, and naturally she was also a good girl, and none of the ladies in the mansions who were doing it had a grudge against herself, why did someone come to say this?

After quietly and carefully inspecting the surroundings, Xu Zigui clearly hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered. It turned out that the person who said this was Ji Mingyue, who had just been promoted to the title of princess

Since everyone said so, Xu Zigui couldn't sit anymore, so he had to get up and bow to Ji Mingyue slightly: "The princess has won the award, who in the capital doesn't know that Princess Mingyue is really talented, how can Yun Jin be embarrassed to compare with Princess Mingyue, wouldn't it become a class to get an axe?"

People like Ji Mingyue like others to hold her the most, as long as they hold her extremely high and make her happy, it's easy to say. Xu Zigui praised Ji Mingyue's talent and beauty, but he didn't want to, and the eldest princess of Linhai came out again to make trouble

"The county lord of Yunjin is modest, no one in the capital city knows that our lord Yunjin is talented, so don't be humble today, even if it is to give the palace a face, let everyone here also see the talent of our Yunjin county lord."

As he spoke, he waved at Xu Zigui and motioned for Xu Zigui to go up. Xu Zigui was hesitating to use what reason to shirk, and suddenly heard a woman smile and say: "My sister once praised the painting of the county lord of Yunjin at home as excellent, but it is a pity that the courtiers have never seen it, and the county lord of Yunjin may wish to paint a group today." It also makes the insight of those of us who have never seen it very good."

Xu Zigui frowned, looked at the woman, and saw that the woman was leaning on the side of Mrs. Youxiang and smiled smartly. Seeing Xu Zigui frowning, Zi Dai bent down slightly and whispered close to Xu Zigui's ear: "This is the sixth girl of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the sister of the concubine of the fourth prince, and her name is Qinghuan."

Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows and nodded invisibly. Signal that you know. His eyes swept to Shao Qinghuan again. There was something meaningful in his eyes. She is indeed the least good at painting, but in her last life, Mo Qingyuan liked to paint, and after she married Mo Qingyuan, she devoted herself to learning painting. At this time, I don't say how good my painting is, but I can also be sure that ordinary people can't compare with her

Seeing that Xu Zigui sat in his seat and did not move, Shao Qinghuan smiled contemptuously: "The county lord can't be afraid."

Xu Zigui smiled slightly and got up slowly. Ying Ying bowed in the direction of the eldest princess of Linhai and walked forward gracefully: "Since the eldest prince wants Yunjin to show his talents, Yunjin has to be ugly."

"What is ugly and not ugly." The eldest princess of Linhai smiled and stepped forward to grab Xu Zigui's shoulders and brought Xu Zigui to the painting table, with intimate movements: "This palace also heard that Yunjin is really good at your painting work, so let this palace also see it today."

Xu Zigui sneered in his heart, it seemed that he had come to participate in the Hongmen banquet. But since "it is said" that she is good at painting. She can't let them down, can she? Xu Zigui raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled: "Thanks to the eldest princess to see the painting of Yunjin, then Yunjin is respectful and obedient, and it is ugly."

Shao Qinghuan was snorting coldly as "I don't know whether to live or die". Because the voice was too loud, many people here heard this sentence. couldn't help but look over there, Old Madam Shao hurriedly sent the head of her granddaughter, turned her head and looked back at the people who came over.

The eldest princess of Linhai smiled and played a round game: "Yunjin, let's start quickly"

Xu Zigui nodded, but he didn't care about children like Shao Qinghuan, so he lowered his head and began to draw.

When Ji Ran was instructed by his sister to enter the garden, he saw a woman standing quietly in front of the desk and returning a landscape map in seconds.

I saw that the girl in front of the desk was tall and tall, with perfect proportions, and although her body was not fully grown, she could also see that she would be a beauty who would captivate the country and the city in the future; Dressed in a pink-white coat and embroidered with silver silk thread to depict a hundred butterflies and wear a floral pattern tulle, the sky blue cloud brocade cheongsam is covered with a layer of hazy light yarn; A pair of slender white jade hands held a vermilion wolf, which was delicately depicted on the paper. She hung her pink neck low, her jet-black hair was fixed with a flat square tin inlaid with a few drops of pale yellow against the style, and red jade beads hung from her forehead, and a pair of phoenixes seemed to be flying in the hair behind her, but she was not too ostentatious; The eyebrows flew into the sideburns faintly, and a pair of apricot eyes with slightly raised eyes were looking at the picture scroll intently at the moment. Suddenly, her brow furrowed, and she bit her lower lip lightly, as if she was worried about what to do next. Such an expression, coupled with her delicate perfection, made the onlookers just want to relieve her troubles and smooth out her frowning brow.

"How about brother, do you think you are worthy of such a woman?"

When Ji Ran was looking at Xu Zigui painting in a daze, suddenly a woman's voice sounded in his ears, Ji Ran looked back, and when he saw that it was his sister Ji Mingyue, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Only such a woman in the world can be worthy of me"

Ji Ran has been pretentious since he was a child, and he is the only concubine of Wei Wangfu, so he has naturally been favored by thousands of pets since he was a child, although he is only fourteen or fifteen years old this year, he once said that there are few women in the world who can be worthy of him. After knowing his father's ambitions, he even said wildly that only the most noble woman in the world can be worthy of him

Ji Mingyue saw her younger brother looking at Xu Zigui's straight eyes, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and then asked softly: "But my sister heard that she has already decided on someone's family, ...... you?"

Ji Mingyue deliberately said the general, the purpose was to lead Ji Ran to say everything. Sure enough, after hearing his sister's words, Ji Ran smiled contemptuously and said pretentiously: "The woman that the master has a crush on, how can such ordinary people be able to grab it?"

King Wei has always wanted to pull down the current emperor, change the dynasty and change the dynasty to change the master of the Great Zhou from the surname Mo to the surname Ji, so he naturally cultivated the prince as a prince. This has also cultivated the two sisters and brothers of Ji Mingyue and Ji Ran who are so ignorant of the sky

When Ji Mingyue heard her younger brother say this, she knew that her plan had succeeded, and gradually increased the amount: "What if that person is the current prince?" ”

"The person you have a crush on, depending on who he is" Ji Ran's eyes flashed with disdain, and his eyes were still looking at Xu Zigui in that direction with infatuation.

At this time, Xu Zigui had already finished the painting. A landscape painting made of light ink was picked up by the maid beside the eldest princess of Linhai and displayed to everyone. Ji Ran looked at the lifelike painting in Aunt Zhou's hand and couldn't help but be stunned. Ji Mingyue looked at the stupid appearance of her younger brother on the side, and sneered in her heart, with such an IQ and temperament, she is also worthy of Xiao Xiang's position as the prince! Thinking like this, Ji Mingyue lowered her eyes to block the disdain in her eyes, and continued to speak softly and said a few words in Ji Ran's ear

“…… If you do this, you have already cooked rice with the lord of Yunjin County. No one can separate you by himself."

Really. After listening to Ji Mingyue's words, Ji Ran's eyes lit up, and he called this method good. The corners of Ji Mingyue's mouth hooked slightly. Nodding to the maid on the side, the maid disappeared unconsciously.

Ji Mingyue waited for the maid to leave, and then said to Ji Ran: "You go to the study and wait, and my sister will send someone to you in a while." ”

Ji Ran smirked and clapped his hands and left. looked at the back of Ji Ran leaving. The corners of Ji Mingyue's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm. She has always wanted to follow the example of Emperor Wu and become an empress, but it is a pity that her family treats Ji Ran as a treasure for training. But Ji Ran was cultivated into a waste with a full stomach, and she had no talent just because she gave birth to a daughter, so she could only be a foil, how could she be willing?

said that she has a deep love for Mo Ziyuan? If it weren't for Mo Ziyuan sitting on the throne of the crown prince. The monstrous power is tempting, how could she really have a "deep love" for him? If it weren't for the purpose of using Mo Ziyuan to fulfill her wish as an empress, how could she have a "deep love" for him?

Look at Xu Zigui again. What else did she have besides an empty face? And there is a big age difference between her and Mo Ziyuan, why did the emperor make her the crown princess? She was not convinced! She was jealous. is crazy with jealousy, so she wants to ruin Xu Zigui, let Xu Zigui be ruined, let Xu Zigui marry her stupid brother, and ruin her before she is willing!

seemed to feel a strong gaze on him, Xu Zigui looked up in confusion, and saw Ji Mingyue looking at him with hatred in his eyes.

Seeing Xu Zigui looking over, Ji Mingyue hurriedly changed her mind, and immediately turned into a harmless smile and nodded at Xu Zigui with a smile, changing her face so fast that Xu Zigui thought that she had just been dazzled.

Xu Zigui also smiled and nodded at Ji Mingyue, which was considered a return salute, and then turned his head and frowned at Liu Lu and ordered: "Look after Princess Mingyue, I look at her and it seems that something is not right."

Liu Lu nodded and quietly disappeared from Xu Zigui's side. Yuexi was arranged by Xu Zigui to protect Qin Siyuan in Wanfu, at this time there were only Yuerong and Liulu around her who knew kung fu, how could Yuerong's kung fu be stronger than Liulu, Xu Zigui arranged for Liulu to investigate, or leave Yuerong in the dark in case of emergency

"Isn't the girl too grassy and wood," as soon as Liu Lu left, Zi Dai handed a piece of dim sum on the table to Xu Zigui and said with a smile: "After all, this is the banquet of the eldest princess of Linhai, if something happens to the princess in the princess's mansion, it will be difficult for the eldest princess of Linhai to investigate, Princess Mingyue will not be stupid enough to block her mother."

Xu Zigui shook his head: "Not necessarily"

Although she had little contact with Ji Mingyue in her previous life, she always felt that Ji Mingyue was very difficult in her several contacts in this life. On the surface, he looks like a mindless person, but in his eyes, he is rarely clear, and he doesn't look like a person who has no brains and only knows how to be arrogant and domineering with his parents

Zidai is not as sensitive as Xu Zigui, but she also knows that Xu Zigui did not use her brain before doing things, so she no longer persuaded her, only nodded and smiled: "We should leave in a while, and I am not afraid that she will have something to do against the girl."

Xu Zigui nodded, and brought the pastry handed over by Zidai to his mouth, and was about to send it to his mouth, but found a small crack in the middle...... The cooks in the mansion of the eldest princess of Linhai are all people who were personally allocated by the emperor from the imperial dining room, how could there be such a low-level mistake? Xu Zigui frowned slightly, but he didn't make a sound, but quietly broke it along the crack, and sure enough, in addition to the pea-yellow powder crumbs falling out, some white powder fell down together.

Xu Zigui frowned slightly, glanced at the red sleeves standing on the side and asked her to come over, took out one from the plate of pastries, handed it to the red sleeves while people were not paying attention, and whispered: "Look at what's inside."

Red Sleeves nodded, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he picked up the pastry and looked at it carefully for a while, and also found the crack in the middle.

Red Sleeves followed Xu Zigui's example and broke open the crack in the middle, and saw white powder falling. Red Sleeves frowned, caught some powder and put it on his nose and smelled it, then frowned and bent over Xu Zigui's ear and whispered: "Girl, this is Daughter Huan"

Daughter Huan. As the name suggests, it is something like aphrodisiac and medicine, which is the will of people after they are eaten.

Xu Zigui nodded, and quietly wrapped the two pieces of dim sum that had been broken into a handkerchief and put them in the cuffs. After a while, seeing Ji Mingyue walking towards this side, Xu Zigui put his hand on his forehead and looked dizzy. Ji Mingyue's eyes looked at the dim sum plate next to Xu Zigui, and the smile was meaningful

"The weather is a little cold, Sister Yunjin is still wearing so little, it looks like it's frozen, my sister here sent someone to help my sister go to the house to warm up."

said that, he was going to help Xu Zigui in person.

The movement here is so loud that it has already attracted the attention of others. Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows slightly, and after watching a scene directed and acted by Ji Mingyue, he pretended to shirk

"How dare Yun Jin bother Princess Mingyue, the left and right Yun Jin Mansion and the Princess Mansion are not far away, Yun Jin is still going home"

Ji Mingyue then collapsed and said with a displeased face: "Sister, what do you mean?" I treat you as a sister, but you are so different from me, it's really chilling" said, looked at the wine glass in front of Xu Zigui again, and saw that it was empty, and couldn't help but smile more meaningfully: "My sister has drunk, it's not too late to go to my sister's house to rest for a while before leaving."

After Xu Zigui saw Ji Mingyue and thought that he had drunk the wine, Yan Zòng also flashed a hint of meaning. Lowering his eyes to remove the coldness in his eyes, Xu Zigui no longer shirked, but looked at Ji Mingyue "slightly weakly" and said sincerely: "Thanks to the princess for looking up to Yun Jin and treating Yun Jin as her sister, Yun Jin took advantage of the wine to support her once, but the princess was really busy helping the eldest princess take care of such guests, and my sister didn't dare to make trouble for the princess anymore." However, the princess is very gracious, so it is better to send a maid to send her sister to rest."

Ji Mingyue frowned slightly, thought about it and nodded: "It's okay...... Biyun, send Princess Yunjin to rest"

Biyun is Ji Mingyue's confidant, so he naturally understands that what his master said is to send him to rest, and after nodding to Ji Mingyue one by one, he turned around and said to Xu Zigui in a respectful tone: "The county lord, please come to the slave and maid" (to be continued)
