261. 262 Qiu Jixuan, asking for a monthly pass
"Has the Third Lady appeared?" Full Moon raised her eyebrows and asked the two.
Ximeng and Ning Jing shook their heads at the same time.
The full moon was silent, silently looking out the window at the treetops that did not move at all.
The third lady is really shrewd! In the past, on such a grand occasion, the third lady was naturally dressed up and must have attended, so how could the third lady lose to others if she had such an opportunity to show off?
But since Zhao Yu'er came back, the third lady has obviously changed a lot.
"Miss, there is a message from the third lady's courtyard, saying that the third lady has been sick in bed, and if it appears in this case, I am afraid that it will collide with the old lady's good deeds, so I will stay in the courtyard." Ning Jing said softly.
"Well, don't worry, tonight's show is one after another."
Full Moon smiled thoughtfully.
The sudden awakening in the middle of the night last night made her think about it a lot.
Although Ling Huquan's words were all right, she still couldn't listen to them all.
In this Hou Mansion compound, it is not possible to endure and be saved! can't blame her for making too many enemies, but she is unwilling to be a pawn and unwilling to be cowardly and subservient, so she is destined to face countless open guns and hidden arrows!
And the scene that the old lady carefully arranged tonight is naturally rushing to come! So many masters are protecting the old lady and the candidates she selected inside and out, in addition to suppressing the full moon, there is another person tonight that the old lady doesn't want to see! Two people, to be exact!
Therefore, the full moon of this play has to use Lin Yidongyao!
She had helped him before, but this time it was time for him to work hard to come back.
――
In the evening, the full moon never planned to leave and go to the front yard, until Yin Xiu told the full moon that Linghu Hongxi came back, and the full moon got up to leave the Pujia Pavilion, and happened to meet Linghu Hongxi who rushed to the front yard.
The time is just right.
Seeing the full moon following Linghu Hongxi into the front hall, the old lady had to swallow back the words that came to her mouth, and saying Linghu Hongxi's words in front of so many guests was actually equivalent to slapping Linghu Hongxi's face, although the old lady was unwilling, she had to swallow back what she wanted to say.
"Mother."
Ling Hu Hongxi walked quickly to the old lady's side, and nodded to everyone again.
Full Moon stood behind Linghu Hongxi in a regular manner, and now that Linghu Jie was locked up, Full Moon, the eldest daughter of the concubine, was the most representative of the children of the Hou Mansion, so it was understandable to follow Linghu Hongxi's side.
But the old lady became more and more unaccustomed to it.
Seeing the full moon, she was dressed in a lake blue stacked green dress, green silk like a waterfall, slender figure, and her facial features were full of dazzling brilliance, although it was not the stunning appearance of Linghu Pingxue, but it had a fresh and agile beauty, and such a temperament was extremely dazzling in the eyes of the old lady.
The old lady felt heartache when she thought of Linghu Pingxue, who was locked up in Xiuyayuan and couldn't go out.
It should be Pingxue who shines today! When is it the turn of this Saoba star?
Until now, the old lady's whole heart is still biased towards Linghu Pingxue.
The three children in the second room, except for Ling Hu Zilu, all grew up by her side, she values Ling Hu Jie the most, and likes Ling Hu Pingxue the most, in addition, the other children are just the foil and foreshadowing of Ling Hu Jie and Ling Hu Pingxue in her eyes!
But now, the full moon, which was once the least favored by the old lady, has given the old lady a resounding slap again and again! How could the old lady not be angry?
All the guests respected Linghu Hongxi, because it was a family banquet in the Hou Mansion, and all the ladies who came were good friends with the old lady, and then there were officials who were familiar with Linghu Hongxi's officialdom, and there were no royal people.
Zhao Yu'er saw Linghu Hongxi, and also saluted respectfully, not daring to have any coquettishness or enthusiasm, seeing the full moon, Zhao Yu'er's face changed slightly, but the next moment was a face full of smiles.
The words he said the day before the full moon touched Zhao Yu'er a lot.
She always thought that she had Linghu Hongxi's favor in the Hou Mansion, and she was able to coax the old lady to be omnipotent! She underestimated the rest of the Hou Mansion! Even a once unfavored eldest lady can now turn her hands into clouds and rain with her hands, which makes Zhao Yuer have to re-examine her own path and the one she faces.
Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu sat in an inconspicuous place, Linghu Qiuyu waved at the full moon, the full moon nodded, and didn't say anything, despite this, Aunt Wu still gave Linghu Qiuyu a worried look, and greeted Linghu Qiuyu in front of the old lady, Aunt Wu didn't want the old lady to misunderstand.
Linghu Qiuyu scoffed at Aunt Wu's worries and continued to go her own way.
The old lady looked at Yiqiē in her eyes, but she didn't have time to clean her up now.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the old lady didn't hide it anymore, and glanced at the mother-in-law behind her, and the mother-in-law dodged and retreated, and led a person up with a moment's effort.
"Xuan'er, come here." The old lady greeted the young woman who stepped forward warmly.
As the woman walked up, Ling Hu Hongxi's eyes instantly froze. It's not the kind of cold solidification, but a trance-like dream.
Everyone's eyes fell on the girl who walked towards the old lady Pingting.
The girl is sixteen or seventeen years old, her figure is slender and slender, the green silk is like ink flowing slowly, and she is vaguely wearing a lotus-colored light gauze long skirt, the skirt is embellished with pink pearls, swaying and shining, and the pearl chain at the waist is a light and graceful girl set off by it, which attracts people's attention.
"Ah, isn't this the girl Qiu who was with the host of Xiangguo Temple a few days ago?" Someone at the scene recognized the identity of the girl, and it was the old lady of the Xue family who spoke, and the old lady was the same as the old lady.
As she spoke, the others chimed in.
The full moon has been in the palace for the past month, and I heard about some things outside, and the abbot of Xiangguo Temple took Qiu Jixuan, the daughter of the largest household in Jiangnan, to carry out the grace ceremony together.
Qiu Jixuan is seventeen years old, and she should have been married last year, but because of the words of the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, she was recognized as a reincarnated spirit girl, and her heart was kind and kind.
Qiu Jixuan's father naturally couldn't ask for it, but it was only a year. The Qiu family was originally just a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, but after Qiu Jixuan came out of Xiangguo Temple, it was equivalent to a layer of gold, and his worth and future were unlimited.
Qiu Jixuan only followed the abbot of Xiangguo Temple last month, and was accepted into the Hou Mansion by the old lady so quickly, and the old lady's move seems to have been brewing for a long time.
In fact, Qiu Jixuan is indeed a pawn that the old lady has been buried for a long time, but she originally wanted to enter the palace as Qiu Jixuan's reincarnated spirit girl, and at that time, the old lady installed her own people even in the palace.
For so many years, the old lady has been haunted by the fact that the Hou Mansion has never had a lady in the palace. I think back then, the old lady had the greatest hope for Ling Huquan, but who knew that Ling Huquan finally married King Anping! This became a thorn in the old lady's heart.
If it weren't for the halfway kill of a king of Anping, how could Ling Huquan also be the emperor's concubine!
More than ten years have passed, but the old lady is still unwilling.
Seeing that everyone was looking up at Qiu Jixuan, the expression on the full moon's face was always light and light.
Ling Huquan on the side saw it, his brows furrowed slightly, but he saw Qiu Jixuan walking slowly towards her.
"I've seen the princess, eldest lady."
Qiu Jixuan's voice is pleasant and beautiful, like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate, which is exceptionally crisp and beautiful.
She smiled at the full moon and Linghu Quan, the smile on her face full of purity and kindness.
Although this Qiu Jixuan is not Linghu Pingxue's dizzying beauty, he has a unique kind and gentle temperament. There is always a warm smile and kindness between her eyebrows, which is unforgettable, and she will never think of her as a person with evil intentions.
Ling Huquan closed his head slightly, his first impression of this Qiu Jixuan at this moment was not bad.
Full Moon also nodded slightly, she is now a six-rank female official, so she doesn't have to get up.
The four eyes are intertwined, her water is cool and indifferent, and Qiu Jixuan's eyes are always soft and kind.
Despite the appearance, for the full moon, since it is a chess piece that the old lady has hidden for so long, there must be something powerful about her! The old lady will not get back another helper who will smash her own foot.
Qiu Jixuan walked to the old lady a little shyly, but Ling Hu Hongxi's eyes always looked at Qiu Jixuan with doubts and confusion.
There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the air.
"I heard that this Miss Qiu is kind and charitable, but she is a reincarnated spirit girl who has not met in a hundred years, and she has a smell of sandalwood all year round, which is refreshing."
Someone at the bottom began to explain the origin of the sandalwood fragrance.
Full Moon glanced at Linghu Hongxi suspiciously, and then thought of the sandalwood fragrance he smelled just now, and always felt that something was not right, this smell is sandalwood, but this sandalwood fragrance does not seem to be pure, and it is mixed with others-
Full Moon looked at Linghu Hongxi fiercely, and saw that his expression was still confused, even if Zhao Yu'er added tea to him, Linghu Hongxi didn't react, Zhao Yu'er's face flashed with a touch of loss and embarrassment, at this moment, it seemed that Linghu Hongxi's eyes could not leave Qiu Jixuan.
Aunt Wu, who was sitting at the back, also looked stunned, with an indescribable expression of bitterness on her face.
Only the old lady was calmly drinking tea and chatting, and she didn't seem to notice the strangeness of Ling Hu Hongxi's appearance.
Because the outside of this hall are all masters secretly assigned by the old lady, if the full moon is light and let Yinxiu make a move, I am afraid that the plan behind it will be exposed!
Because of Linghu Hongxi's strange appearance just now, Full Moon understood more and more why the old lady wanted to bring back so many masters! It is to prevent the full moon from discovering abnormal ventilation signals.
Throughout the hall, everyone didn't pay much attention to Ling Hu Hongxi's strange appearance.
Moreover, Qiu Jixuan's appearance was dazzling and pleasing to the eye, and everyone's attention was focused on Qiu Jixuan, and there was not much discussion about Ling Hu Hongxi's reaction.
"Xuan'er, you sit next to me." The old lady warmly beckoned Qiu Jixuan to sit down.
Only then did everyone react that Qiu Jixuan's father had an inextricable relationship with the old lady's mother's family.
