"Mother! Wei Xiyue's little slut deceived me and lost a lot of face. ”

After the imperial concubine's birthday banquet, Wei Xiyue's status will definitely rise.

"What did the little slut do?" Chen's suspicion of the fox.

"Wei Xiyue deliberately pretended that she was not good at chess, but she slapped me hard in front of the emperor and others, now do you know what those ladies say about me? said that I was just an empty and beautiful vase in the Wei Mansion, and it was Wei Xiyue who was really rich and talented. ”

Wei Feiyue grabbed the teacup and threw it out of the door, the debris splashed on the ground, Yu Duo entered the house with a basin of warm water, scooped up the towel and wrung out the water.

A soft and warm towel was applied to Wei Feiyue's eyes, and the injustice and dissatisfaction in her heart were instantly suppressed, and bursts of warmth were transmitted from her face to all corners of her body.

Chen glanced at Yu Duo with satisfaction, Wei Feiyue can be regarded as cultivating a sensible girl.

"Miss, don't be anxious first, you feel uncomfortable, and the psychology of other ladies must be uncomfortable either, whether it is from the flower banquet or the birthday banquet of the imperial concubine, there are not a few people who regard Wei Xiyue as a thorn in the flesh."

Yu Duo gently rubbed Wei Feiyue's temples, and said eloquently, "If you want to get rid of this thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh, you can't be in a hurry, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

"How do you come to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" Wei Feiyue thought that she had misheard, Yu Duo was indeed quite smart and knew how to advance and retreat, but there was no basis for what she said.

At the banquet, Yu Duo had been observing all this, and she knew exactly what everyone was thinking, among which Pang Yaoyao hated Wei Xiyue the most.

From the beginning of the birthday banquet to the end of the birthday banquet, it was a pair of black eyes as vicious as a poisonous snake and scorpion, which never left Wei Xiyue's body.

"Pang Yaoyao, the daughter of the Taifu." Yu Duo said.

"What is so special about this Pang Yaoyao, Pang Yaoyao has the same mentality for those who are better than her, that is, disdain." Wei Feiyue knows Pang Yaoyao quite well.

Compared with Princess Wen Ke, Pang Yaoyao's brutal and willful personality is on par.

Once, because of a trivial matter, Princess Wen Ke and Pang Yaoyao openly started to act in front of the emperor, and the queen punished the two of them for kneeling and copying Buddhist scriptures behind closed doors for a month, and also sent grandmothers from the palace to teach female virtues.

Yu Duo smiled and said nothing, and continued to massage Wei Feiyue's head.

Shadow reported the renovation progress of the store to Wei Xiyue on time every day, and also asked, "Master, can you think about what you want to sell after the store is renovated?" ”

Wei Xiyue leaned on the Taishi chair, threw the fish food in her hand into the lotus pond little by little, her red lips hooked slightly, and said: "Naturally, it is a rouge gouache business, and a woman's money is the best to earn." ”

"But Jubao Zhai almost monopolizes the gouache business in the entire capital, which is not comparable at all."

The shadow suspects that there is something wrong with Wei Xiyue's braincase, and he actually wants to grab business with Jubao Zhai, if he can communicate with Huo Lingxiao, there is still some hope, otherwise this is equivalent to looking for death, waiting for bankruptcy!

"I'm just going to do this rouge gouache sound, I'm going to check the first batch of rouge gouache myself." Wei Xiyue was full of confidence.

In the past few nights, she has written down several recipes and materials, and is waiting for the batch of raw materials and customized tools that Xiaohuan went to buy to come back, try it out for herself, and see how it works.

The shadow felt more and more that Wei Xiyue was overconfident, and secretly went to the Three Princes' Mansion in the middle of the night to report the news.

"The third prince, the master intends to open a shop to do business, but it is all gouache business, and it is difficult to open it at all." Shadow said on one knee and bowed his head.

"Then let Jubaozhai close for a few days, so that she can be happy, and if it doesn't work, find some people to buy it from her."

Huo Lingxiao wrote Wei Xiyue's name on rice paper, and Qingying stared at it.

It seems that Wei Xiyue is destined to be the third imperial concubine, looking at Huo Lingxiao's posture, it is estimated that she will directly give Jubaozhai to Wei Xiyue.

Xiaohuan deliberately vacated a room for Wei Xiyue to make a laboratory, and Xiaoyun also joined the ranks.

The room was already set up with three long tables and several tall cabinets, which were filled with all sorts of strange utensils.

Wei Xiyue sighed secretly, it was worthy of the glassware that she had spent a lot of money to ask someone to go out of the mountain to make, and the appearance and internal curvature of the style were deeply liked by Wei Xiyue.

"Miss makes rouge gouache and doesn't need these strange things, what is this going to do?" Xiaohuan picked up a glass bottle and said.

"Be careful, don't break it, I'm of great use, you two are ready for all the petals and spices I want you to prepare?" Wei Xiyue asked.

Xiaoyun and Xiaohuan nodded in unison, and their humble appearance was cute.

"Bring the flowers in, and you guys will go out, no one will come today." After Wei Xiyue finished speaking, she began to fiddle with the order of the utensils.

Xiaohuan and Xiaoyun are obediently guarding the door, and not a single fly will fly in.

Wei Xiyue followed the memories in her mind and began to operate step by step, first refining the pure dew of flowers.

Burn the test bottle with a candle, half of the water in the bottle, pass it through a glass tube to the steamer, distill the fresh petals, and then flow out of another test tube.

After the distillation is collected, the diversion begins, and some spices are added to a test tube.

In addition to adding spices to mix, Xiyue also specially reserved a test tube in advance for the distilled flower liquid, nothing was added, and it was left to stand overnight to see if its flavor would volatilize tomorrow.

Wei Xiyue wanted to make a bottle of perfume, but it seemed that the proportions were always wrong, the smell was either heavy, or light, or a smell that made people smell strange.

After staying in the house for a day, Wei Xiyue felt that her nose was about to fail.

Liu Shi came to knock on the door, Wei Xiyue found that it was the second half of the night, her glasses were sore, and there were still a little tears in the corners of her eyes, she rubbed the tip of her nose and stepped out of the laboratory.

The moment he opened and closed the door, Liu could clearly smell a fragrant aroma wafting from the room.

"Xiyue, what if you don't eat or drink all day, if you are tired?" Liu said worriedly.

"I'll go to dinner in a while, mother, go to sleep quickly, I still need you to help me dry the flowers tomorrow!" Wei Xiyue urged Liu to go back and rest.

In the winter, it is not easy to find these flowers, the cost is really high, and it seems that the goods rewarded by Emperor Nanshao will soon be exhausted in the matter of buying materials.

Wei Xiyue finally reached out to the small treasury of the shadows.

Wei Xiyue flickered with the shadow and played pai gow and dice rolling with her, which are common gambling games in casinos.

"Master, how did you come up with the idea to play this?" The Shadows were in high spirits.

"After a tiring day, there should always be an active entertainment activity, otherwise what if you become stupid?" Wei Xiyue laid out bamboo cards and dice on the round table.

Wei Xiyue was almost defeated, and the shadow was like stepping on shit luck, whether it was rolling the dice or touching the cards.

"I'm really embarrassed, master, I won again!" Shadow's face was full of irrepressible excitement.

I thought of blackmailing Shadow from this aspect to compare Wei's money, but I didn't expect Shadow to be a senior veteran player, Wei Xiyue not only couldn't get a half from Shadow, but also owed a lot of money, and finally signed an IOU.

The shadow made a lot of money, and Qingying and Huo Lingxiao lay on the beam of the room and watched for a long time.

Qingying shouted in his heart that the shadow was awesome, blatantly winning money, or winning the money of his own master and wife. This kid looks really bad when he wins money, at least two-thirds of his previous money has been won by him, thinking of this, Qingying's heart is very unbalanced.

Shadow's gambling skills are first-class, as Huo Lingxiao's secret guard, he can't often mix in the casino, so he secretly gambles with Qingying's brothers.

Shadow left with bamboo cards and dice, cheering in his heart, and even wanted to go to the casino in the middle of the night.

Wei Xiyue supported her chin with one hand, her fingers were slightly bent, and her rounded fingertips were rhythmically tapping on the table.

I thought to myself: Since Shadow's gambling skills are so good, wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money if I took him to the casino?

The corners of Wei Xiyue's mouth rose inadvertently, and the little abacus in her heart played fast and loudly.

Huo Lingxiao and Qingying turned over and fell, Wei Xiyue frowned, she didn't find anyone in the house, blaming herself for gambling with the shadow just now.

"It's so late and suddenly appears in my boudoir, and it doesn't affect me well."

Huo Lingxiao waved his hand to signal Qingying to go out, and only Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao were left in the room.

Recently, there was a mysterious force that was secretly investigating the Liu family, and after Huo Lingxiao found out, he ran over non-stop.

Huo Lingxiao took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Wei Xiyue, and said: "The people behind this mysterious force are not small, and I can't find out some clues for the time being, so I can only let people strengthen the situation and vigilance around the Wei Mansion a lot. ”

After Wei Xiyue read the letter, she crumpled it and ejected it into the waste paper frame.

"Menacing, the purpose is not pure, it seems that my mother has been in big trouble recently." Wei Xiyue's expression was solemn, and a murderous aura emanated from her body.

"I don't know what is worth investigating about my mother-in-law, in short, protect my life first, Qinghe won't go to the school for the time being, if someone kidnaps him halfway, it will be troublesome." Huo Lingxiao said.

This reminded Wei Xiyue that Wei Qinghe was the weakness of the Liu family.

Wei Xiyue asked Huo Lingxiao to pay special attention to protecting the safety of their mother and son, and she was going to meet this wave of people for a while.

Huo Lingxiao asked curiously: "What kind of secret is hidden that can make people so worried?" ”

Wei Xiyue had a cold attitude and refused to tell her, Huo Lingxiao was extremely displeased, thinking that Wei Xiyue was defensive of herself and didn't believe in herself.

"This matter is about life, it has nothing to do with you, and I don't want you to be involved." Wei Xiyue doesn't trust anyone now, even Huo Lingxiao, who has helped her many times.

She should be on guard against potential enemies on the other side.
