Chapter 40: Catching the Wind and Washing the Dust
Yun Chen didn't know whether it was intentional or not, put Xiao Shengge in the courtyard of Xiying Xuan, and turned to leave.
The corners of Xiao Shengge's mouth twitched, and he said that King Chen was uncertain and did not play cards according to common sense, which was really true.
Chenwangfu ......
There was only one lamp lit in the study, and the dim candlelight sprinkled on the man in the dark robe leaning on the rosewood chair, adding a little softness to his handsome face.
He lowered his eyes, and the light fell on the palm of his hand, which seemed to still have her residual warmth, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a seemingly non-existent arc.
"Wang ...... "When the butler saw that the door was not closed, he walked in and tried to close it, but he saw a person sitting at the desk.
Yun Chen saw that the housekeeper had not left for a long time, frowned, and raised his phoenix eyes to look at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper swallowed his saliva, and under the invisible coercion, he mustered his courage, "Lord Wang, today the emperor sent someone to ask the prince to have a few days of dust washing banquet, and the prince must attend." ”
“...... Don't go. Yun Chen's eyes returned to his palm, and his eyes were a little cold.
The butler opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, "Yes, tomorrow I will let someone bring the reply to the emperor." ”
"Slow. ”
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, his heart was overjoyed, and he found hope, "What else does the prince command?"
"Not now. "Yun Chen
A few days later......
Xiao Shengge leaned lazily on the recliner, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Today is the dust washing feast, she must go, and Ling Yanglu ...... If Ling Yanglu couldn't wait to die, she would naturally welcome it, otherwise, the fishing nets she had already placed would be in vain.
Xiao Shengge was just waiting, waiting for them to take the initiative to go in, she didn't want to lead them in vain.
If you guide them personally, the result will be different, and it will also show your feet. These could have been avoided, so why would she cause unnecessary trouble?
What she wanted to see was their despair, their regret, their fear...... She wants them to be ruined, and she wants them to die without a whole corpse, and there is no place to bury!
Xiao Shengge opened his eyes, looked at the golden invitation on the stone table, and fell into memory......
In his previous life, because of amnesia, he was controlled by the second lady and Ling Yanglu, but after all, she was a concubine, although she was also invited, but Ling Yanglu still appeared.
With her help, Ling Yanglu shined at the dust washing banquet, and she ...... There was nothing, and they were sold and counted for them.
was even slapped ten times by Liu Guifei for no reason, and later almost lost her innocence, which also contributed to a bad relationship between her and Zhao Jing, so that everything that happened afterwards.
Since Ling Yanglu likes this King Jing so much, why shouldn't she also be a matchmaker and draw a red line for this pair of dog men and women?
Xiao Shengge looked at the time, and people from all over the world had almost arrived at the palace.
Xuan'er was not there, Xiao Shengge called a maid to freshen up for herself.
At this time, Xiao Shengge sat in front of the dresser, looking at the maid behind him from the mirror, like flowing water, not like the first time to do it.
Whether it is the hairstyle or the selection of hair accessories, it is just right, not too simple, not too cumbersome, and impeccable.
"What's your name?" Xiao Shengge asked.
The maid replied respectfully: "The slave's name is Phantom Snow." ”
Xiao Shengge looked at Phantom Xue through the bronze mirror, this girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She has fair skin and looks pretty too. She noticed something and frowned.
"You're not a maid. Xiao Shengge was still calm, paying attention to Phantom Snow's every move.
Xiao Shengge is sure that Phantom Snow will not be as simple as a maid, if it is just a maid, because of the perennial rough work, the hands will inevitably grow calluses, and it will be a lot rougher. And this phantom snow's hand has no scars at all, it is tender and white, even if it has been maintained, it is impossible to be so tender and white. And she's a little maid, where did she get the silver to dress up? So, the only explanation is that Phantom Snow is definitely not just a maid.
Sure enough, Phantom Snow's hand trembled, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and Phantom Snow "plopped" and knelt down.
"Miss, Phantom Snow is indeed not a maid, but this is also a thing of the past. Phantom Xue hurriedly explained, for fear that she would be kicked out a second later, "The slave maid used to be named Li Xi, the family was doing small business, the mother died early, and there was only one daughter in the family, a few days ago, the father was killed by a traitor, and the father was framed for murder, and then he ......"
Phantom Xue suddenly couldn't cry, Xiao Shengge turned to look at Phantom Xue, and noticed that Phantom Snow's eyes were red and swollen, and it seemed that she didn't cry less on weekdays.
Looking at the appearance of the phantom snow, it is estimated that it is not entirely true, and just in case, it is necessary to send someone to check the details of the phantom snow.
After all, it was everyone's girlfriend before, and naturally they will know more, this kind of down-and-out daughter, ambition has always been strong, and it will inevitably lead wolves into the room.
"Alright, you will stay with me from now on, but I will not accept useless people. The implication is that if Phantom Snow can only cry, then there is no need to stay by her side.
Phantom Xue stopped crying, after all, she had received an excellent education, and with such an obvious implication, Phantom Xue naturally understood.
"Miss Xie, the slave will not disappoint Miss. Phantom Snow's words were full of gratitude, but more firm.
Xiao Shengge glanced at Phantom Xue, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, what Phantom Xue said was definitely not true. What happened a few days ago should have caused a sensation in the capital, and it is impossible that there has been no news at all now.
Xiao Shengge changed into the same clothes as Ling Yanglu brought, and the housekeeper came to urge her to hurry up.
The housekeeper is Ah Fu, and he can be the housekeeper, which is exactly what the old lady meant.
"Second Miss, the dust washing banquet is about to start, you have to hurry, don't be too late. Ah Fu is also respectful to Xiao Shengge, I am afraid that it is because of the relationship between the old lady.
Xiao Shengge walked out of the door, "Butler, aren't I here?"
"The master and the eldest lady are already waiting outside the house, the second lady, please. Ah Fu stretched out his hand and gestured.
Xiao Shengge glanced at Steward Zhang lightly, she walked unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Steward Zhang's incident involved you, and you were injured...... I have to apologize to you. ”
Ah Fu was taken aback, "Ah Fu is just a subordinate, how can he afford to apologize to the second young lady?" and ask the second young lady to retract this. ”
"In addition to apologizing," Xiao Shengge ignored Ah Fu's words and said to himself, "Thank you for telling the truth." ”
"Doing things for the master, these are what a slave should do. Ah Fu was a little scared.
The corners of Xiao Shengge's mouth hooked slightly, "The habits of the Prime Minister's Mansion are not very good, the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, the housekeeper has to pay attention, don't let outsiders laugh at it." ”
"What does the second lady mean?" Ah Fu was a little dazed, he took care of the prime minister's mansion, why didn't he find anything unusual?
"The second young master was assassinated, and although he was safe and sound, the matter was over, but everyone in the house knew who did it. Xiao Shengge said, "The second young master is the flesh and blood of the third lady, he was sent outside, and then he was assassinated, after enduring it for so long, the third lady should come back, right?"
Xiao Shengge understood what he said, and Ah Fu naturally understood, "What the second miss said is that the second miss will be notified as soon as there is a rumor." ”
"Butlers have to be careful, and some people have to keep an eye on them. Xiao Shengge said, "The old lady's health is not as good as before, unnecessary trouble, don't dirty her old man's eyes." ”
Ah Fu nodded like pounding garlic.
When Xiao Shengge arrived in front of the carriage, he saw Ling Yanglu with a hypocritical smile on his face, whether it was makeup or clothing, he was obviously carefully dressed, deliberately twisted*, and walked towards this side with lotus steps.
"My sister is here, get into the carriage quickly, or it will be too late. Ling Yanglu's gentle dripping voice slowly spoke, and there was sarcasm in her words.
Xiao Shengge resisted the thought of rolling his eyes, gave Ling Yang an innocent and harmless smile back, and then suppressed the disgust in his eyes and turned into the carriage.
Behind him, Ling Yanglu saw the light blue dress Mo Yu was wearing, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face, like a femme fatale.
Ling Yingxi, who told you not to die? Just left at the beginning, and now dare to come back to compete with her for the position of the concubine? She is destined to be higher than her Ling Yingxi, and she will always trample her under her feet.
But how could Ling Yanglu know that she was single-minded, fighting for the position of the bloody head, and Xiao Shengge didn't bother to ask for it, and even wanted to stay away from this position, not wanting to have anything to do with it.
