Chapter 90: The Inexplicable Black Hand
Watching Jin Zhi retreat, Qin Yunuan slowly turned around and said to Yun Guifei: "Guifei Niangniang, Yu Nuan doesn't know if Guifei Niangniang listened to which villain with an unclean mouth felt that Yu Nuan looked down on Guifei Niangniang, and even pretended to spread the edict, now Niangniang acts as the queen and manages the six palaces, and the people in the harem are extremely praised for Niangniang's decisiveness, and so does Yu Nuan, and she will never say half a bad word about Guifei Niangniang." After speaking, Qin Yunuan's eyes were still on Sun Baozhen's body, and Concubine Yun also cast a suspicious gaze at Sun Baozhen.
Fortunately, Sun Baozhen's acting skills are outstanding, and with her tearful eyes and words, she puts herself in a harmless position again.
The time of the Yellow Flower Array is also approaching, Concubine Yun has no intention of dwelling on this trivial matter, if she goes to the Queen Mother, it will only outweigh the losses.
"The third young grandmother is participating?" Tingxue asked while packing up her cloak for Qin Yunuan.
Qin Yunuan saw that Sun Baozhen not far away was still like an unmarried lady and happily picked the most delicate one in the silk flower tray, Qin Yunuan didn't expect it, she always thought that Sun Baozhen would follow the same path as Princess Ning, pretending to be virtuous and loyal on her face, and secretly acting as a black hand, but she didn't expect that Sun Baozhen was good at pretending to be innocent and deceiving sympathy, poking you with a knife again and again, making you unguarded.
Qin Yunuan didn't want to participate, but when she saw that Sun Baozhen took the initiative to join the team walking the maze, she also picked a silk flower from the tray at random: "Participate, you remember, let Leng Shuang secretly follow me all the time." ”
"The third young grandmother is worried about ......." Tingxue was a little worried.
Qin Yunuan put the silk flower on the bun with her backhand: "Just in case." ”
The new yellow flower array was built in the southeast corner of the plum garden, using the blue bricks that are warm in winter and cool in summer, the wall is higher than an ordinary woman's head, and there is only one entrance.
The eldest prince Sima Ruo followed the leading eunuch to enter the small pavilion in the center of the yellow flower array first under the signal of Concubine Yun, and Concubine Yun sat leisurely on the high platform on the other side, not only avoiding the trouble of going around the maze, but also seeing the maze game clearly.
Just when this group of women wearing yellow flowers were eager to try at the entrance of the maze, Yun Guifei spoke again: "This year, the palace specially built a new maze for the Yellow Flower Festival, and naturally there is a new rule, usually we are competing to see who gets out of the maze the fastest, it is really a bit boring, and now everyone happens to wear silk flowers, so if in this process, whoever has a silk flower landing, who will be disqualified, so everyone not only has to walk the maze, if you meet a competitive opponent halfway, you can pick off the other party's silk flower, It's also a little bit less resistance, what do you think? ”
What a strange rule, Qin Yunuan looked at Yun Guifei who was smiling brightly in the stands, she did this, nothing more than to increase the competition between women, women are small-minded, although it is just a game, but if in the process of picking off whose silk flowers offend whom, it is tantamount to letting the other party always remember, the front and back houses have always been involved and move the whole body, Yun Guifei's move makes it really wonderful;
For Yun Guifei's proposal, everyone just became more and more excited. The women and noblewomen who already have a gap on weekdays are even more eager to try.
The game was announced, and the ladies who walked in the front had already flocked to the entrance, but Qin Yunuan walked last, unhurriedly.
"The third young grandmother was not in a hurry." A leisurely female voice suddenly came from behind her, Qin Yunuan turned her head, this is not who Sun Baozhen is.
"Isn't the side concubine also very leisurely?" Qin Yunuan turned around and looked at Sun Baozhen, whose face was already good, "Concubine Fang is unwell today and insists on participating in the Yellow Flower Array, but she has a soft spot for the Yellow Flower Array." Qin Yu warmly remembered Sun Baozhen's bleak face in the carriage because of Kwai Shui.
Sun Baozhen's tone was also light: "My body is already well." Just at a fork in the road, Sun Baozhen turned around and smiled at Qin Yunuan: "Third young grandmother, which way are you going?" ”
Qin Yunuan glanced at her: "I'll let you, I'll go to the side you don't go." ”
Sun Baozhen smiled brightly, didn't say much, turned around and went to a corner on the left, Qin Yunuan naturally went to the right, although Qin Yunuan was not interested in this yellow flower array, but just now when she was sightseeing with Yun Guifei on the stand, she memorized the route of this labyrinth early, her ability to never forget it really has not diminished at all, she knows very well that there are a total of seven routes in the maze to the small pavilion in the center.
But she wasn't going to run around for the reward she was doing, she relied on the memory of the labyrinth in her mind to choose a route that could stick to Sun Baozhen, Sun Baozhen was afraid that she would not have thought that Qin Yunuan was almost only separated from her by a wall along the way.
Qin Yunuan didn't believe that Sun Baozhen participated in this Yellow Flower Formation just to have fun, a woman like Sun Baozhen who came out of a big family with such a heavy task would have a deeper purpose in doing anything.
Because of the cold frost gesturing in the dark, Qin Yunuan knew Sun Baozhen's route very clearly, Sun Baozhen walked very purposefully, not like he was trying the route in the maze, but as if he had already known the route and went in a predetermined direction.
Suddenly, Leng Shuang made a dangerous gesture, Qin Yunuan was stunned for a moment, turned a fork and happened to see two ladies who were scuffling together, one of them looked a little familiar, it was the daughter of Shang Xianhua's family, the Shang girl Shang Chunxiu who had some relationship with Qin Yunuan.
At this time, Shang Chunxiu was desperately trying to grab the silk flower on the head of another petite noblewoman, between the fists, it was obvious that Shang Chunxiu's full kung fu foundation, in the end, it was General Shang's daughter, quite a woman's style, that weak woman was not Shang Chunxiu's opponent at all, and Shang Chunxiu took the silk flower in three strokes and two clicks.
"Vulnerable." Shang Chunxiu shook the silk flowers on his hand proudly, if Qin Yunuan was not mistaken, Shang Chunxiu already had three silk flowers in his hand, and the yellow flower array had just started with a cup of tea, and Shang Chunxiu relied on his martial arts to take advantage of the three noble girls and lose the opportunity;
"." The family background of this noble girl who was robbed of silk flowers was obviously not as good as Shang Chunxiu, and she didn't dare to shout when she was angry, she just covered her face and left with a whimper.
Shang Chunxiu slapped his palms cleanly, flicking away the dust that had just been dyed, which was very different from the only promise that he had kowtowed to Concubine Yun at the banquet before, and as soon as he turned around, Shang Chunxiu saw Qin Yunuan who had been watching the battle in the corner.
Shang Chunxiu's eyes were full of anger, and he slowly approached Qin Yunuan, glanced at the silk flowers on Qin Yunuan's head, the fierce light in his eyes eased slightly, but his tone was still aggressive: "It's you?" You forcibly stuffed your maid into our Shang family? ”
Qin Yunuan glanced at her, and suddenly smiled: "Miss Shang is so good at pretending, she is obviously a martial artist, but she often pretends to be delicate." ”
"What's your business?" Shang Chunxiu was a little disgusted, "That time was just for my father, our Shang family relied on the Meng family at that time, and I was willing to kowtow to Concubine Yun, but for a woman like you, who was difficult to use before and only relied on means and scheming, I Shang Chunxiu looked down on you." ”
"Isn't Concubine Yun the same?" Qin Yunuan said slightly mockingly, "Your Shang family relied on the Meng family before, and now you rely on the Leng family, you can be submissive to Concubine Yun before, I advise you, it's best to be polite to me." ”
"That's different." Shang Chunxiu said categorically, "Now that General Leng values my father, my father will become a big thing, and you are just a red face and disaster that interferes with General Leng becoming a big man, you should get rid of it!" ”
Women know women's minds best, Qin Yunuan slowly approached, until the monk Chunxiu was only separated by a fist, and suddenly smiled: "I know what you are thinking in your heart, you like Changxi." ”
Shang Chunxiu's face was embarrassed, and she only turned her head and said, "I just don't think you are worthy of him." ”
Qin Yunuan suddenly took off the silk flower on his head, shook it in front of Shang Chunxiu's eyes, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the silk flower fell suddenly, but quickly, Qin Yunuan caught the silk flower firmly before it landed: "Do you know what it means?" ”
Shang Chunxiu was stunned and did not answer.
"The rules that Concubine Yun said, as long as this silk flower does not land, it will not be disqualified, as long as I am still the third young grandmother of Ning Wangfu one day, you should think less about what you shouldn't think, no matter whether Chang Xisheng wins or loses in the future, the person who accompanies him will always be me, and it will only be me, Miss Shang, I miss you when you are young, I know that the news about the portrait of the Li family prince painting my portrait in the gallery was passed by you, I only hope that there will be no next time, because I don't know if I will show mercy to your subordinates next time."
Shang Chunxiu was stunned, she always thought that she was doing something very secretive, but she was still not seen by Qin Yunuan at all, she turned around and only dropped a sentence: "I don't need you to show mercy to my subordinates, anyway, you are an extremely cold-blooded person." After saying that, he left without looking back.
Qin Yunuan took a deep breath, a little suspicious, Leng Shuang is such a cautious person, but two ladies are fighting, and Shang Chunxiu is not much of a threat to Qin Yunuan, why did Leng Shuang make a dangerous gesture?
Qin Yunuan looked towards Cold Frost's hiding place again, but found that Cold Frost had disappeared, and suddenly seemed to see a purple figure running towards him, and at the same time, a bright light flashed in front of Qin Yunuan's eyelashes, it was an extremely sharp dagger.
Qin Yunuan happened to be in a dead end of his field of vision, a corner that could not be seen in the stands or the small pavilion, Qin Yunuan quickly dodged the first assassination, and immediately after, a sunflower-shaped hidden weapon had already shot straight towards Qin Yunuan's face.
