Chapter 322: Face (1st Update)

On a cold night, the cold wind was biting, and Yu Zhengran stood at the window facing the wind, as if he couldn't feel the cold.

It's going to be fifteen again, and the moon is almost round again, and now it's like a moon cake that has been bitten by someone, missing a corner......

As soon as Mr. Yu left, he sighed for a long time, there will be no more opportunities for such a good one, and the person and the people around him will be vigilant.

They have already made such careful arrangements, and they have also made a variety of plans, the best thing is naturally to be able to kill that one, in case of a miss, they can retreat to the second, and they can plunder the county lord of Yue. In that way, between that and Prince Yong's father and son, there was a thorn.

After all calculations, I just didn't expect Xia Shuyao, a thirteen-year-old girl, to know how to hide weapons and make extraordinary moves.

Mr. Yu saw that Yu Zhengran was depressed, thinking that he was a pity for the "No. 2" who was hacked to death by his own hands, that was the top killer of the Wishing Workshop, and he did not come forward easily, and he was also a sparring partner who had been practicing martial arts together since childhood.

"Young master, the fate of the killer is like this, once you miss, death is the best relief." 'Two' will only thank you for not having to suffer the poison and die like 'Ten'. Young master, don't think about that incident anymore, this time we really have to be silent, and there can be no rash action. Mr. Yu comforted Yu Zhengran so much, what he didn't know was that if it wasn't for Yu Zhengran's move, "No. 2" would have a good chance to snatch Qi Yueling.

Mr. Yu shook his head and walked away quietly, he knew that the biggest weakness of the young master was that he was too soft on the people around him. Therefore, he never let too many people get close to the young master, and the sparring partners are all rotated.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Spit out slowly......

He doesn't regret it. It's just that my heart is uncomfortable. If you turn back time. He'll do it anyway. Because when No. 2 struck Lord Yue with one palm, the stinging pain in his heart could not be described. At that moment, he had only one thought, Lord Yue could not fall into the hands of his father's people. He knew very well that once he plundered the lord of Yue, it was impossible to stay in the capital, and he would either be secretly sent to the northeast immediately or killed. Send the cold corpse or some tokens on it to the Southwest General's Mansion.

No, he can't. He would rather that his father sent him to the southwest to assassinate Prince Yong at the risk of death, rather than see the delicate and bright smile of Lord Yue disappear in front of his eyes.

For what? He himself didn't know the Dao, but he couldn't ......

In addition to Yu Zhengran, there is also Sima Yan.

The twelfth day of the first lunar month is the day when Yanjun hosts the "Plum Blossom Banquet", but Sima Yan, who got up early in the morning, has dark green eyes. Mother Hua sighed secretly and ordered the little maid to take the hard-boiled eggs, peel the shells, and roll them lightly in the dark green.

Waiting for Sima Yan to finish dressing up, they looked at the girl who was outstanding and had an outstanding demeanor. Mother Hua nodded with satisfaction, and whispered in Sima Yan's ear: "Sister." A wide heart is a blessing. If you can't get out of that bull's horn, try to avoid meeting with Lord Qi. ”

Originally, it was a good thing to be able to make friends with the Lord of Qi and the two marquis' mansions, and it was the best policy. However, if the girl in her own family always compares herself with the Lord of Qi everywhere like this, she is not comfortable and does not say anything, in case...... It's better to simply have less contact.

Sima Yan's eyes darkened: "Mom, don't worry, I know what to do, I won't be impulsive." "Even Mother Hua thinks she's inferior to Xia Shuyao? Drill the horns? Where did she get into the horns?

What about martial arts? Women, especially ladies, should be gentle and feminine, knowledgeable, and show women's grace and gentleness everywhere, which is the difference between women and men. Wouldn't it be sad if women were as rough and hard as those men? (At this time, Sima Yan didn't want to think about it at all, had she ever seen Shu Yao, was it rough and hard?)

She just reluctantly admitted one thing: Xia Shuyao was too lucky.

What kind of person is the emperor, surrounded by guards and shadow guards, but the guards were not there for a while, giving Xia Shuyao a chance to perform, didn't it mean that Lord Yu, Xia Shujie and those guards would arrive immediately? The assassin was killed by Lord Yu, and Lord Yue was also saved by Xia Shujie, but the credit was taken by Xia Shuyao, isn't this good luck?

However, good luck will always run out, and one's own ability and talent are permanent and reliable.

Lord Yan is not only the second princess, but also a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother, and she is also sociable, and her popularity is good. Therefore, the plum blossom banquet held for the first time in the Anguo Mansion is still very popular with famous families and noble ladies. Early in the morning, many guests came to the door on time with gifts.

Last night, according to the instructions of Lord Yan, the subordinates of the Anguo Mansion carried out all the luxurious and precious objects in her private treasury to decorate the reception hall, the banquet hall, and the small flower hall where the girls chanted poems. Those are the rewards in the palace, as well as the fine products in the dowry of her mother and sister-in-law, as well as the treasures that An Guogong has collected for her as a dowry over the years.

A few years ago, because of Xia Ruoxue's involvement, the reputation of the Anguo Mansion was greatly damaged, and the recognition banquet of Jin Xida that year, everyone knew that Lu Dao was the list listed by the emperor's pen, but there was no part of the Anguo Mansion. If it weren't for the fact that there was also a county lord who often went in and out of Cining Palace, perhaps, the streets and alleys would have been rumored that the Anguo Mansion had lost its sacred heart, right?

The family in the capital is most afraid of "forgetting", being forgotten by the emperor and forgotten by the aristocratic circle...... Because, that means it's going down.

Now Xia Ruoxue has no relationship with the Anguo Mansion, Sima Yan has been married by the Queen Mother to become the quasi-second princess, and she will get married in a few months, and it is time for the Anguo Mansion to sweep away the "mildew", which is also the biggest purpose of this plum blossom banquet. Now, Sima Yan is willing to lend her private property to the Duke of Anguo to earn face, and the Duchess of Anguo's eyes are full of tears: "This child is intimate, Gu family, Grandpa Guo and I didn't hurt her in vain." ”

Duchess Anguo took the lead, and the daughters-in-law of several rooms naturally hurriedly lent out the private objects that they could get their hands on to display, after all, face is everyone's, and if the Duchess of Anguo is good, they are good. Besides, it's just to take out the objects and put them on display for a day, and they can't be compared to the concubines.

There are many people, and the Anguo Mansion on this day is more luxurious than ever.

The guests came to the door one after another, their mouths full of admiration, and their eyes were full of envy and flattery, which made Sima Yan and several ladies of the Anguo Mansion secretly proud.

Concubine Zhao and Qi Yuexin's eyes were dazzled as soon as they entered the door, it is said that in addition to the palace, their Prince Yong's Mansion should be the most noble mansion in the Great Zhou, but ...... It's really frustrating to compare like this.

The first princess is really a so-called "fairy-like" character who does not eat fireworks in the world, and the most effortless thing is yellow and white. When the first princess was in charge of the feed, she liked the elegant furnishings, and in the words of Concubine Zhao, it was fake Qinggao. The flowers, grasses, rockeries, pavilions, lotus ponds, etc. in the house took a lot of thought and silver, but the noble objects were locked in the warehouse.

After the death of the first princess, during the three-year filial piety period, Concubine Zhao did not dare to propose to decorate the palace in a flamboyant and prosperous manner. Moreover, the first princess's private treasury was handed over to a special person for registration and management by the queen mother, and she couldn't move it, but the hateful thing is that Prince Yong took all the treasures obtained in the princess's house during her lifetime as the private treasury of the first princess, ready to leave them to Qi Haoning and Qi Yuexin.

After the filial piety period, Concubine Zhao, who manages the middle feed, can naturally be the master of the purchase of objects, but it is a pity that the cost given by the prince to the inner courtyard is limited, and her hand cannot reach the outer courtyard and the property in the house.

To save a "private room" for Qi Yuexin and Qi Haoxiang, to supplement her mother's family, and to make it look good, so that the Queen Mother does not find any clues, and she catches the handle and removes her housekeeping rights, Concubine Zhao has already racked her brains to break a penny in half and use it, where can I buy any precious treasures?

For so many years, there have naturally been a lot of rewards in the palace, but unfortunately, they are all directly rewarded to Qi Haoning and Qi Yueling, and they are all registered and managed by the grandmother arranged by the Queen Mother beside them. In the early years, Qi Yuexin and Qi Haoxiang also got some from Qi Haoning. However, after only getting a few small items, Concubine Zhao no longer dared to let them take it from Qi Haoning. Because, when Mama entered the palace, she took the treasury book with her. What it means, it goes without saying.

If you don't compare, you pretend not to know the way, and now you compare it like this, and your heart is broken. Concubine Zhao didn't know if she should hate the cousin of the dead princess, or Prince Yong in the southwest? Of course, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are not something she can hate, and she can't help it.

In the earliest days, Concubine Zhao and Qi Yuexin hated the county lord of Yan very much, because the daughter of a courtier could get the title of county lord and the favor of the queen mother, but Qi Yuexin, the serious eldest lady of Prince Yong's mansion, had nothing......

However, now, since Qi Yuexin has formed an alliance with Ma Ling'er and Sima Yan, Concubine Zhao has also seen the benefits. There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends, only interests are the most important. Sima Ya and Ma Ling'er are the most noble among the concubines who are willing to befriend Qi Yuexin today.

Concubine Zhao's mother and daughter had never seen Shu Yao, and it was not good to open their mouths directly to ask the other guests who was Xia Shuyao from the Yongping Marquis Mansion, so they could only wait for the welcoming maid to roll call with their ears pricked up. The gift turmoil at the birthday banquet the day before yesterday had already made them very faceless, but fortunately, there were basically no guests that day. However, Qi Yuexin is still wearing a glass peacock today, but she doesn't dare to exaggerate and imply that Shu Yao has given up the best thing to please her.

The welcome hour has passed, and the guests who should have arrived should have arrived, but they have not heard the maid sing the name of Miss Xia of the Yongping Houfu, Qi Yuexin wondered, Xia Shuyao arrived earlier than her?

Sima Yan couldn't sit still, Xia Shuyao didn't give her face like this?

At this time, someone came to the palace, Sima Yan didn't care about being depressed, and hurriedly greeted Lu first. The person who came was a housekeeper of Cining Palace, and the palace lady next to Ma Guifei, who came with her. (To be continued......)
