088. Gift-giving
"Gifts, of course."
"Since the ninth princess said so, then the courtier can only obey his fate." Lin Han bowed to Xu Kexin and Cai Wanting: "The two princesses, please choose a treasure, and they should give the two of them a wedding gift, but you can only choose one, because you are very poor." ”
The two smiled and saluted back, and Xu Kexin said, "Thank you for the kindness of the second son of Lin." ”
Lin Han waved his hand, just looking at Qingyun who was elegantly tasting tea, and his inky black eyes flashed with a charming streamer: "Not long ago, the courtier occasionally got a dark iron dagger, and today I will give it to the ninth princess, and it should be the apology that the courtier did not intend to offend last time." With that, he took out his dagger and handed it to Qingyun.
The handle of the dagger is inlaid with a large sapphire, the scabbard is carved with a simple pattern, Qingyun pulls out the dagger, and the cold light is breathtaking, and even she who has seen a lot of divine weapons can't help but admire: "It's really a good dagger that sharpens iron like clay!" ”
"The favor of the ninth princess is the honor of the courtiers!" Lin Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since the second son of Lin is full of fists, then the palace is disrespectful. However, a trace of demonic darkness quickly crossed Qingyun's eyes, and he suddenly got up, and the dagger in his hand stabbed straight into Lin Han's chest.
Everything happened too fast, and Lin Han, who was caught off guard, instinctively took a few steps back, and slammed his waist into the corners of the counter, grinning in pain, looking at the dagger that pointed directly at his chest and would pierce his skin with a little force, a wry smile appeared on his handsome face.
Everyone was stunned.
Leaning over slightly, Qingyun stared at Lin Han's eyes as deep as the sea for a moment, her cherry lips opened lightly, and she exhaled like an orchid: "Aren't you afraid that this palace will use this dagger to kill your prime minister's grandfather and aunt and the concubine, and cut down the Lin family?" ”
The faint fragrance came into his nose, Lin Han was stunned for a moment, he had read countless women, but none of them had the smell as intoxicating as her, but in an instant, the sadness in Lin Han's eyes flashed away, and he said meaningfully: "The decision is in the hands of the ninth princess, isn't it?" ”
"Stinky boy, you bully Jiu'er again!"
A thunderous roar suddenly sounded, Sima Yue flew in, and the palm wind of the Seven Successes waved towards Lin Han: "Stinky boy, it seems that the lesson I gave you last time was not enough." ”
At the same time, Sima Rui stepped forward like lightning, protected Qingyun in his arms and retreated.
And Lin Han, who couldn't dodge, flew upside down over the counter, slammed into the wall, and then fell to the ground suddenly, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, his face was as white as paper, but the corners of his mouth were filled with a helpless wry smile.
Late at night when he took the jade, he came back from Lixiangyuan and just walked to the alley outside the prime minister's mansion, and before he could figure out the situation, he was beaten up by several men in black.
Offending the Ninth Princess really didn't end well!
Seeing that Sima Yue crossed the counter and raised his foot to kick Lin Han, who was obviously seriously injured, out of the city, Qingyun hurriedly stopped: "Starling, don't!" ”
"Jiu'er?" Sima Rui and the three looked at her with puzzled expressions.
Leaving Sima Rui's embrace without a trace, Qingyun shook the Xuantie dagger in his hand and smiled embarrassedly: "He didn't bully me, I wanted to see if the dagger he gave me was really as sharp as clay." ”
"Uh-" Everyone looked stunned, the collective wind was messy, and Lin Han couldn't cry or laugh.
Looking at the dagger in Qingyun's hand, Sima Qi, who had a businessman's keen discernment ability, exclaimed: "It is indeed a rare ancient weapon, and it is best to defend Jiu'er." ”
Lin Han pursed his lips: It took him a lot of effort to find it, can it be good?
Slowly walked to Lin Han's side, took out a delicate small porcelain bottle and put it in his hand, and said in a clear voice: "This is the medicine prepared by Mo Xuan to treat internal injuries, and Xie Lu thanks you for the gift." Then he deliberately lowered his voice: "One day, this palace will uproot the prime minister's party, you, do it yourself!" ”
Holding the medicine bottle and standing up with difficulty, Lin Han glanced at Qingyun meaningfully, and left without looking back, who knew that Qingyun's happy voice suddenly came from behind him, "Second Master Lin, don't forget to come to the checkout!" I couldn't help but stumble under my feet and almost fell to the ground.
"Jiu'er, what did you ask the stinky boy to settle the account?"
Putting the dagger back into the scabbard, Qingyun looked at Sima Yue with a curious expression: "Lin Han said that he would give the two imperial sisters-in-law the same treasures of Jinyuzhai as a gift. ”
Sima Yue opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
And Sima Qi had already shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper Zhou, take out the best treasures in the store and choose them for the two young ladies." "This is a money-making opportunity sent to the door, how can he let it go? Then he looked at Qingyun: "Jiu'er, take whatever you like." ”
"Fifth brother, aren't you afraid that I will empty Jinyuzhai?"
"What are you afraid of, as long as you like it, Jinyuzhai will give you everything."
"Fifth Brother Xie Lu." looked at the smiling Sima Qi, then at Zi Ke, and said lightly: "It just so happens that Zi Ke and Lan Jue have reached the age of talking about marriage, and I should also prepare a dowry for them." ”
Seeing Qingyun's cunning gaze, Sima Qi's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face, which was more feminine than a woman, became more and more charming.
And Zi Ke, who was standing behind Qingyun, lowered his head: "Zi Ke just wants to serve the princess for the rest of her life and not get married." The smile on Sima Qi's face suddenly froze.
Zike's resoluteness, the fifth brother's deep affection, and Qingyun all see it in his eyes.
In the previous life, Zike and Lan Jue died because of her fragrance in the best years, and in this life she will try to promote their happiness.
In Sima Qi's exclusive private room on the second floor of Jinyuzhai, Sima Yue stared at Cai Wanting's right cheek: "Mo Xuan really has superb medical skills, but he restored Miss Cai's appearance overnight." ”
Sima Rui and Sima Qi, who had heard the eighth brother talk about the severity of Cai Wanting's injuries, even though they knew that Mo Xuan's medical skills were superb, they didn't believe that he really had the ability to turn decay into magic in such a short period of time.
Seeing Qingyun nodding, Cai Wanting slowly removed the disguise on her face, and a delicate and unfamiliar face appeared in front of everyone.
"Who are you?"
The woman Ying Yingfu saluted: "Back to the prince of Yue, the slave maid is the lady's personal maid Xiaoxuan, and it was the ninth princess who ordered the slave maid to pretend to be the young lady." ”
"Miss Cai......"
"Mo Xuan said that he could restore the appearance of the Sixth Emperor Sister-in-law within ten days, but he was worried that the Sixth Emperor Sister-in-law would not be able to bear the blow of disfigurement when she woke up, so I left the Sixth Emperor Sister-in-law to recuperate in Luoxia Palace, I expected that someone would wait for the opportunity to make waves, so I arranged for Xiaoxuan to temporarily pretend to be the Sixth Emperor Sister-in-law, after all, she has served the Sixth Emperor Sister-in-law since she was a child, and she is most familiar with the words and deeds of the Sixth Emperor Sister-in-law."
"But this can only be concealed for a while, after a long time, or someone who is interested in finding various excuses to approach Miss Cai, they will find flaws." Sima Qi said worriedly.
"I have already discussed with Concubine Yu that the sixth imperial sister-in-law will enter the palace tomorrow on the grounds of teaching palace rules and etiquette, and at the same time, I will also send Mama Gong, who is next to Concubine Yu, to Xu Mansion to teach the third imperial sister-in-law, so as to prevent anyone from taking advantage of loopholes."
"This is a good idea, just to strengthen the guards of Yuhua Palace."
"The sixth brother has been arranged." Qingyun's face was as calm as water: "The sixth brother also went to Cai's mansion in person, and Cai Shangshu knew what to do." After a while, I had to bother the fifth brother and the starling brother to send Xiaoxuan home. ”
"No problem." The two responded in unison.
Leaving Jinyuzhai, Qingyun ordered the guards to return to the palace, and then quietly came to Baihualou with Zike and Lupo, Bingying and Yan Nuo had been waiting for a long time.
"Bingying, thank you last night, if you hadn't sent the information in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable." Qingyun picked up the wine glass: "Thank you for your kindness." After saying that, he drank it all.
"We're friends, as we should be." Bingying also drank the wine in the cup boldly, and then poured it for Qingyun and herself: "I will apologize to your two imperial sisters-in-law on behalf of my family Zihan, such a thing happened not long after he first became Jing Zhaoyin, and it affected the reputation of the two princesses, I am really sorry." ”
Qingyun shook his head: "It happened suddenly, and the people behind the scenes are extremely cunning, please Bingying tell Master Su that you don't have to blame yourself." Besides, I have dealt with it in the fifth brother's Jinyuzhai just now, and I believe that the rumors will soon subside. ”
"Thank you." Bingying breathed a sigh of relief, looking at her husband who was so anxious that her eyes were red, she felt very uncomfortable, after all, the Xu Mansion and the Cai Mansion were the families of the powerful, and this matter involved the royal family, and the husband was only a three-pin Jing Zhaoyin, and the Su family did not have a tough backstage, and if she was not careful, she would be pulled to be a substitute for the dead.
Although there is a light cloud, with her current strength, she can't compete with the prime minister's party.
Picking up the wine glass and touching Bingying, Qingyun smiled and said, "You also said that we are friends, so we don't have to worry about this." ”
"I said when will you two thank you for coming and going?" Yan Nuo picked up his wine glass and said, "Let's do it together." ”
Qingyun and Bingying couldn't help but smile at each other.
"By the way, Qingyun, can you guess who is behind the scenes?"
Qingyun shook his head solemnly: "The last time I was attacked and this time it was related to a woman with a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, and this woman seems to be in love with the third brother, and the third emperor's sister-in-law also feels very familiar, I suspect that it is the daughter of a powerful person, but I can't guess what her relationship is with the Absolute Dust Palace; As for the rumors, they must have come from that woman, and the concubine was also involved. ”
"The concubine is really pervasive."
"If the goal is not achieved, the concubine has always done everything."
"You must be careful." Bingying took out a stack of papers and handed it to Qingyun: "This is the person and thing you asked me to investigate. Also, I accidentally learned something during my investigation, and I'm sure you're interested. ”
Qingyun and Yan Nuo's expressions changed slightly after hearing this: "Is this serious? ”
"It's true!"
"Good." There was a dazzling edge flashing in the light cloud ink pupils: "Bingying, try to reveal this matter to Tong Xiangxiu." ”
"What do you mean......"
"Lin Yuemei ruined the appearance that Tong Xiangxiu cared about the most, and the concubine made it difficult for her in every way when teaching the palace rules and etiquette, if she knew about it, what do you say she would do?"
She was thinking about finding something to do for the concubine, so that the concubine would not be at ease after thinking about it behind closed doors, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come.
Bingying and Yan Nuo suddenly said: "This plan is very good! ”
