Chapter 29: There seems to be something wrong with this man
The dinner ended, and everyone left the table.
Yu Zixuan saw that Yu Hongcai was not in a hurry to leave, as if she had something to talk about with the prince, so she got up and left first.
When she walked out of the warm pavilion, it was snowing outside, she reached out and took the umbrella that Le An had just opened, and walked to the corridor.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the veiled woman he saw before the feast began, standing under the plum tree, as if she was talking to someone.
It's just that the light is too dim to see who that person is.
She gave Le An a look, and Le An understood and walked around.
After a while, the veiled woman turned away and returned to the warm pavilion, and the place where she left was long gone.
Le An came back, shook his head at her, and said in a low voice: "It's a step late, the person has already left, but there are footprints left, it should be a man." ”
Male? Is it someone from the Prince's Mansion, or a guest at the tea party?
When she was thinking, she heard the sound of curling piano music in the warm pavilion behind her.
I remember that Rong Jia had to leave earlier than the others, and the person who played the piano was definitely someone else, but I didn't expect that the piano skills could be comparable to Rong Jia.
It's just that why do you choose to perform after everyone is almost gone? Are you afraid of performing too well and making enemies in public?
"Miss, the wind is strong again, I'm afraid there will be a heavy snow at night, let's go back early." The snow outside was ankle-high.
If you go back, you will inevitably be delayed for an hour due to the wind and snow.
Since it was already late, she turned and turned back, and returned to the eaves of the warm pavilion, just enough to see part of it through the crack in the door.
At a glance, she recognized the figure sitting and playing the piano, which was the woman she had just seen.
It's just that from the side, the woman seems to have removed the veil from her face, and she can vaguely see that she is a delicate and lovely person.
Pink makeup, flower and moon appearance, is also a beauty embryo.
"The little girl Ling Xiaoxiao has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xiangye." She lowered her head and smiled, her voice soft and beautiful.
The prince's thoughts today were all hooked by Yu Zixuan, and he had long lost interest in appreciating other beauties, so he waved his hand and let her go down.
Ling Xiaoxiao stood up, and when he left, he glanced at the prince deeply, and there were still some tears in his eyes.
The plump and slender figure made Yu Hongcai's gaze change a little.
When the person walked out of the warm pavilion, she found that Yu Zixuan was also there, she raised her slender hand, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and barely smiled lightly: "Let the girl smile." ”
Yu Zixuan raised her eyebrows, pretending to be puzzled: "The girl misunderstood, I just waited here for the snow to be a little lower before leaving, I don't know what happened inside just now." ”
"It's just that I'm bored in front of the prince, and there's nothing unpleasant about this kind of thing." Ling Xiaoxiao raised his eyes and looked at the heavy snow, looking sad.
Yu Zixuan sighed silently in her heart, who does she like badly, do you have to like a scumbag like the prince?
Although it is extremely common for a man to have three wives and four concubines here, the man she wants to marry must not have a woman other than her.
Otherwise, she would rather die alone than be stupid enough to share a man with other women.
That's how humble it has to be before you can compromise it.
It's not worth it.
"The girl is the daughter of the prime minister, and she is loved by His Royal Highness the Prince, if I have half the luck of the girl, I will be content." The soft voice revealed a hint of bitterness.
Yu Zixuan hooked the corners of her lips, and only said lightly: "I'm just a concubine who is not favored, there is nothing worthy of your envy." ”
Ling Xiaoxiao looked at her, but her eyes were still a little envious.
"Originally, the Ling family was also a famous family in Kyoto City, several generations of business, rich family wealth, but unfortunately was framed by traitors, and the family was ruined, and in the end I was the only one left, and I was displaced, fortunately I was adopted by well-wishers, so as not to starve to death on the streets, I just didn't want to be unwilling, and I wanted to revive the Ling family." She choked up and said, "Miss Six, in fact, I said so much, I just want to cooperate with you." ”
"Cooperation?" Yu Zixuan didn't expect that she would put forward such an idea.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has seen countless women, in terms of appearance, no one in Kyoto City can compare to the sixth lady and seven points of beauty, and in terms of temperament, Rong Jia, the daughter of the Taifu, is the top grade, and then I want to choose, it is just to make the prince picture a few days fresh, I don't want to be so."
It seems that she is a sharp-minded woman, not one of those laymen who blindly only thinks about marrying into the prince's mansion and has no idea of their own.
Yu Zixuan felt that she was a little interesting, so she asked, "Then what do you think about me?" ”
"Reluctantly staying with the crown prince may not be able to get the life I want, so it's better to settle for the next best."
Does it mean that he wants to find the Nine Emperors?
But Yu Zixuan felt that it was better to stay with the crown prince than to stay with the Nine Emperor Princes.
A man like the Nine Emperor Princes, ordinary women may not be able to control it, and the one in front of him is a sad and sad person, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand the cynicism of the Nine Emperor Princes, and he will be depressed.
"Xiangye is a person who knows how to hurt people."
Hearing this, Yu Zixuan's whole person was stunned, she heard it right, right?
Or did this Ling Xiaoxiao drink too much at night and his brain was not clear, so he would have such an idea?
Don't be crazy.
I even thought she had some ideas just now, which was different from other women.
But now he said to himself that he felt that Yuhong was good.
Yu Hongcai is almost forty years old, and he does not belong to the category of forty-one flowers of men.
What is it about such a flower-like girl who can't think of it, and she has an idea about Yuhong?
She raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows helplessly, and asked: "Miss Ling, with your qualifications, finding a son of a big family in Kyoto to marry is more promising than marrying into the Prime Minister's Mansion, why do you want to go to my father as a concubine and wronged yourself so much?" ”
"Miss Six's proposal, it's not that I haven't considered it, but now in Kyoto City, Xiangfu is the most trustworthy choice, Xiangye is deeply trusted by the emperor, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and those young sons and brothers may not know better than Xiangye, how to cherish people." Ling Xiaoxiao was not affected by her advice, and still insisted.
"So you want me to help you marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion and become my father's concubine?"
"Yes, but if Miss Six feels embarrassed, I won't force it."
This person isn't being tricked, right?
Yu Zixuan felt that her appearance and requirements were strange everywhere, but now she couldn't imagine that anyone would be willing to sacrifice the happiness of the rest of her life to be a concubine for a man whose daughter was as big as herself.
Could it be that someone is taking advantage of it?
She could only think of this one possibility.
But what about using Ling Xiaoxiao to get close to Yuhongcai? Yuhong is suspicious by nature, and even the Xie family knows very little about the things he does outside, let alone a woman who suddenly appears and wants to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"I'll think about it, but it will take some time." She sniffed out some conspiracy, hooked the corners of her lips silently, and left the prince's mansion with an umbrella.
……
Back at the Orchid Garden, it was nearly midnight.
Han Yun expected that the food at the banquet might not be appetizing, so she prepared some more, which she kept simmering on the stove, and as soon as she returned, she served it to the table.
Smelling the aroma of the food, Yu Zixuan's frozen feet felt strong again.
Walk quickly to the table and sit down, pick up the chopsticks and stuff them into your mouth.
Hanyun was afraid that she would choke on eating too quickly, so he hurriedly brought a bowl of soup to her, brought a stove, and stuffed it into her arms.
"Miss, the hot water slave maid for the bath is also ready, I must be very tired to accompany the master out for entertainment today, right?" She said as she helped Yu Zixuan knead her shoulders.
"It's okay to be tired, it's just boring." Yu Zixuan took a bite of the chicken thigh, which was tender and tender, and she ate several pieces.
This is much more delicious than the delicate-looking dishes at the banquet in the Prince's Mansion.
She felt that after coming here, this mouth was raised even more.
It's all because the old lady's kitchen materials for cooking are all good, and I like them after a few meals.
When she was full, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and walked to the table, picked up the pen, and drew on the paper the appearance of the woman tonight.
She is not good at drawing, but she is still roughly seven or eight points similar.
"Let Le'an come in, I have something to tell him to do." Han Yun nodded, and after putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Le An pushed the door and walked into the house.
"Master, what do you have to do?"
"Take this, give it to the Nine Emperor Princes, and let him check what the origin is, and it is best to associate with anyone in Kyoto, and if you walk closer, you can find it best."
"Yes." Le An didn't go out immediately, but hesitated for a moment and said: "The master will ask the Nine Emperor Princes for help this time, if the Nine Emperor Princes make any rude requests, will the slave agree?" ”
"No, it won't." Yu Zixuan said firmly.
"The minion will go early tomorrow morning."
"Hmm."
……
It was rare to be idle in Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake for a few days, and before he had enough rest, Le'an got the news from the Nine Emperor Princes.
Seeing that the words 'net worth is innocent' written on the paper sent, Yu Zixuan still felt that Ling Xiaoxiao had a problem.
It's just that if you can't find a clue from the connections all over the Nine Emperor Princes, it should be no problem, maybe it's her Min. The feeling is excessive.
She lay in a rocking chair and flipped through the pages, but her mind was no longer on medical books.
Hearing footsteps entering the house, she raised her eyes and glanced at it, but she didn't expect that it was the third aunt coming.
Behind her was the fourth young lady Yuyun, who was two years older than her.
The appearance of the jade can only be said to be a small jasper, and I can't pick out anything particularly bad, but it can't leave much impression on people.
Unlike the third aunt, she is still charming when she is old, and her skin is prosperous. Snow, no wonder is still favored by Yuhongcai.
The third aunt frowned when she saw that she had no intention of getting up to greet her.
When she was in the Xiangfu before, she was already so indifferent to people, and the third aunt didn't care that she had no rules like this, so she smiled and said, "Sixth Miss, can you still adapt to living in Lanxiang Garden during this time?" ”
"Okay."
Throwing out such an ambiguous sentence made the smile on the third aunt's face stiffen a little.
"It seems that the old lady really loves Miss Six, and specially chose such a good place to live for Miss Six." But she had something to ask Yu Zixuan, so she could only smile and ask tentatively: "But if the Lanxiang Garden lives in the sixth lady, it is too lonely." ”
