Chapter 319: Assassination (Third Watch)
Qi Yuexin is indeed very beautiful today, an apricot red wide-sleeved pine-body long skirt made of blurry flower silk brocade, embroidered with plum blossom patterns, dotted on each plum blossom stamen is a small and round ruby and rice pearl, broken bead tassels like starlight, bright like a flowing glow. The pattern on the top of the short cloak is woven with silver thread, and the hem is inlaid with a whole circle of white fox fur.
Qi Yuexin's appearance is like Concubine Zhao, she is the kind that is bright and bright, her facial features are very atmospheric, but there is no lack of exquisiteness. Therefore, Concubine Zhao has always felt that her appearance is the bearing of a famous wife, and her soft and childish appearance like the cousin of the former princess is simply the mold of the concubine's room. It's just that creation makes people, and God doesn't have long eyes......
Qi Yuexin's dress today, Concubine Zhao took a lot of effort, she just wanted Qi Yuexin to highlight the royal nobility and compare Xia Shuyao.
Originally, Concubine Zhao also prepared a colorful gemstone for Qi Yuexin, which was the most precious jewelry in her dowry. I never thought that the glazed peacock step shake given by Xia Shuyao was inserted into Qi Yuexin's bun, and the colorful gem step shake was immediately compared. I have to say that this peacock step shake is more suitable for Qi Yuexin, with today's dress, it is really the icing on the cake, reaching the luxurious momentum that Concubine Zhao wants. It's a pity that Xia Shuyao didn't come.
Hearing someone praise Qi Yuexin's head for the sway, Concubine Zhao had a soft and reluctant expression: "This is a gift from Miss Xia, this child is really, I don't know if I listened to what Ning'er explained, so polite, I actually gave such a rare thing to Xin'er." However, in the future, they can get along well with each other, and I am relieved. Lest Ning'er be caught in the middle and it will be difficult to do. ”
The more Qi Yuexin listened, the more complacent she became. Immerse yourself in the "atmosphere" created by her mother. seems to have really seen Qi Haoning reprimanding Xia Shuyao in order to defend her, just like when Qi Yueling was said to be "petty......
The corners of Qi Yuexin's mouth condensed with a victorious smile, completely forgetting Qi Haoning's indifference to her over the years.
At this time, a girl glanced at her mouth disdainfully: "These things are rare to us, not rare to Miss Xia, last month's birthday of my sister-in-law, the colorful phoenix glass hairpin sent by Miss Xia is more valuable than this one." And the glass bracelet in my hand is also a welcome gift from Mrs. Yongping Hou and Miss Xia when they first visited our palace. "This girl is the granddaughter of King Fu's mansion, but she is a concubine. She just can't get used to Qi Yuexin, obviously she is also a concubine like her, what kind of score do you put every day?
Someone next to him immediately chimed in: "Isn't it? Have you forgotten who Mrs. Yongping is? I'm afraid that all of us don't have as much glass jewelry as their aunts and sisters-in-law, right? ”
"That's it," the granddaughter of King Fu said, "Listen to my sister-in-law, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace banquet, the lord of Yue County and the fourth princess each wore an identical big red glazed peony hairpin, which was full of many diamonds, and it was extremely beautiful." I heard that there are only two in the whole Great Zhou, which were given to them by Miss Xia. Miss Xia's sister-in-law loves her, and she is close to her with all good things. She is now clinging to Lord Yue. ”
……
Around the glass jewelry, and around the sister-in-law relationship. A group of big girls and little daughters-in-law talked happily, and they didn't notice that Concubine Zhao and Qi Yuexin's mother and daughter were as black as ink. Qi Yuexin almost wanted to pull off the steps on her head and smash it out, but her hands reached out to her head and put it down again. She really likes this peacock step, and if she smashes it, she has nowhere to get another one.
Sima Yan and Ma Ling'er were also extremely uncomfortable when they heard everyone talking about Nangong Miao and Xia Shuyao's sister-in-law with envy. Moreover, among the guests who came today, two-thirds were concubines, and one-third of the concubines, except for the two of them, uh, and Chen Yueying, the other ones had much worse family backgrounds.
Finally, after the luncheon, the two of them found an excuse and left early together and went to Yufu. Today, Yu Zhengran also followed the emperor to hunt and was not in the house.
Sima Yan had dinner in the Yu Mansion and was about to return to the Anguo Mansion when an official messenger came to deliver the news: "All the people who participated in the hunt will stay in the paddock tonight. If you can't come back tomorrow, someone will notify you again. ”
Sima Yan and Ma Ling'er were startled, what is this for? What happened? The official who came to deliver the news was very tight-mouthed, or rather, he really didn't know what to say.
The second prince and Yu Zhengran were both among the hunters, and Ma Ling'er took Sima Yan's hand: "Let's go, let's go to Mafu, my grandfather may be able to know the way." ”
Sima Yan thought for a while and said, "That's it, let's separate, you go to the Ma Mansion, I'll go to the palace to see, if there is any news, we will notify the other party in time." ”
Ma Ling'er thought that this was indeed better, so she nodded and got into the carriage first. The two carriages arrived at the fork in the road, separated, and ran in different directions......
Sima Yan sighed: "Mom, let the coachman turn around and go back to Anguo Mansion"
Mother Hua said strangely: "Sister, don't we enter the palace?"
"What are you doing in the palace so late? In case the Queen Mother still doesn't know about this matter, didn't we disturb her old man in vain? Let's go, let's go home. Sima Yan leaned against the wall of the car and said with her eyes gently closed.
Mother Hua quickly came back to her senses, understood what Sima Yan meant, and hurriedly ordered the coachman. The carriage quickly turned around and headed towards the Anguo Mansion.
The Lianghou Mansion also received a notice, and the chief housekeeper Uncle Kui stuffed a red envelope for the visitor, but found that a small paper roll was stuffed in his hand, and he quickly clenched it quietly.
The person who sent the notice smiled faintly: "Remember to tell your grandmother, don't let her worry." ”
After sending people away, Uncle Kui hurriedly begged to see Nangong Miao and handed over the paper scroll in his palm.
Nangong Miao carefully unfolded it and saw that it was Shujie's handwriting: "It's okay, don't worry, take care of your grandmother." ”
Let the big housekeeper take a look at the paper scroll, and throw it into the charcoal stove next to him, Nangong Miao said to the big housekeeper: "Uncle Kui, I live in my grandmother's yard tonight, the guards in the house are strengthened, everyone stays in the house, and they are not allowed to go out unless there is anything special, until the father-in-law and the uncle come back." Don't listen to rumors from outside, let alone spread them in the house. ”
Uncle Kui said: "Yes, grandma rest assured, the slave will be arranged according to the uncle's previous instructions." "Jin Xida and Shujie have a strong sense of prevention, and they have assumed several critical situations before, and formulated countermeasures in the house, so that Liu's mother, Uncle Kui, Uncle Rong, and Aunt Mei will remember it, just in case.
For example, today, Uncle Kui understands that what he wants to adopt is a "short-term response plan when the master and the uncle lose contact", and today the second master and the girl, who are skilled in martial arts, are not with the old lady and the eldest grandmother, and neither are the little ones. The guards in the old lady's courtyard will focus on strengthening, and in case of any situation, they will use porcelain balls, so everyone's antidote must be prepared on their bodies.
It was very late, close to the night, and Sima Yan received news from Ma Ling'er: assassination. (To be continued......)
