Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
, wonderful no pop-up window for free!
The palace gate is heavy, the palace wall is majestic, and it is the outermost weight of the East Palace when it arrives at the Taihe Gate.
Most of the young ladies participating in the draft have to stop here, and those who can enter the East Palace directly at this time are those who come with their families. And these young ladies, after they are all important members of the imperial court, their father and brother already have a waist card to enter the palace.
At that time, the sun was big, and the ladies were all dressed in three layers inside and three layers outside for the blue eyes of Prince Yibo, which was particularly grand, and there were no maids holding umbrellas for them here.
Li Xiaoxiao couldn't hold it anymore, and wanted to wipe his sweat with a silk, but he was afraid that he would make the fat powder spent, so he had to endure it desperately.
The housekeeper's grandmother came over with the palace maid to count the number of people, ten people in a line, and when she passed by Xiaoxiao's side, she pursed her lips: "Mama, when can we go in?" ”
Mama stuffed her with a wooden sign: "What's the hurry, there are a total of eighty seats for today's banquet, and the emperor's relatives and ministers' relatives will occupy sixty seats." You good people can only sit at the end, so naturally you can't go in until everyone is seated. Take the sign, don't sit blindly with your eyes open. ”
"Yes......" Xiaoxiao didn't dare to cross in the palace, only grabbed the wooden sign tightly, and felt unspeakable grievances in his heart.
In the past, she was the most favored eldest lady away from home, and she was hugged everywhere she went. Later, when she left the lamp and came to Changfeng Pharmacy, she was bullied several times as if she was suddenly unlucky, and her self-confidence was far less than before.
When I entered the palace this time, I thought that leaving home would be one of the best Zhumen families in the capital, but I could be reckless and regain some face. But when she really arrived in the palace, she didn't know that even if she was the most generous young lady in Li Shu, there were still powerful daughters pressed above, and then there were clan disciples pressed above, and even the subordinates in the palace did not hesitate to look at her more.
It's no wonder that Daddy looked like a servile man when he saw the officials, it turned out that power was so important.
With power comes everything, but with money you don't necessarily have power.
Thinking about it from Xiaoxiao, she felt very uncomfortable, and then a low exclamation suddenly came from the team, diverting her train of thought.
"Look, whose young lady is that, born like a fairy, and dressed so luxuriously."
Li Xiaoxiao followed everyone's gaze, and couldn't help but tense up.
"Cut, you don't even know Bai Caixuan? She is one of the four beauties in the capital, and the prime minister of the dynasty is her father. ”
"Huh? She's here too, huh? I heard that she is best friends with the prince's former concubine, and she has this relationship, why do you still want to come to the East Palace to participate in the selection? ”
"So what, Concubine Zheng is dead, what is there to taboo. If you want me to say, that concubine is really a fool who doesn't know what to do, and wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to favor her more back then, until she dies, His Royal Highness did not accept a concubine. She didn't know how to be content, and she secretly planned some rebellion, if it weren't for this, she would have been the crown princess a long time ago. ”
Listening to these words, Lizhan only felt funny.
Yes, how much he seemed to spoil her back then, it made her confused and ignored the outside world. Even when she died, others thought she was the one who lost him.
As everyone knows, when she was alive, he had already empathized with Bai Caixuanzhu and secretly married Bai Caixuanzhu.
I fanned the back of my ear, and it was like a fly flying in my ear.
"The four beauties of the capital are here, what else is going on with us? There are eighty seats in total, let's sit at the last seat, whether the prince can see us or not, is still a matter of saying. ”
There was an unconvinced person next to him: "What's wrong with the four beauties in the capital, the beauty is not in the skin, and she doesn't have an appetite for His Highness, and His Highness still doesn't like it." Besides, in addition to the four beauties of the capital, there are few outstanding daughters of other ministers, why are you arrogant? ”
"Don't talk about it, Bai Caixuan seems to have heard it."
"Huh? Don't scare people. ”
"Shut up, she's coming."
The crowd hung their heads suddenly, and they were even more nervous when they left Xiaoxiao.
The last time Bai Caixuan deliberately led troops to raid her house, I still remember it vividly, especially the slap that rewarded her, but now that I think about it, my face is so hot that it hurts.
Bai Caixuan carried the lotus step and approached step by step, and his gaze fell on a few of them, cold as a knife.
"Yo, people who have left home are also coming to join in the fun?"
Both Lixiaoxiao and Lichen smiled awkwardly.
"Someone told me that the selection conditions in the East Palace are lenient, and any cat and dog can come, I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it, the murderer's daughter can also participate in the selection, but isn't it even a cat and a dog?"
Everyone was silent, and the four words "cats and dogs" spread widely, and they scolded a large number of people by insinuation, but because of the power of the Bai family, no one dared to speak up, plus everyone knew that the grievances between them and the Bai family were not only a problem between them, but also a good way to protect themselves.
But it was not so easy to leave Xiaoxiao and Lichen, standing in the crowd like a pierced arrow target, suddenly red-faced and red-eared, with nowhere to hide.
Bai Caixuan's phoenix eyes swept over them one by one, looking unpleasant to no one, but they froze at the moment when they saw the lamp.
Away from the lamp? She's coming too?
Others don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, she is just a concubine, and she still wants to compete for the position of the crown princess?
Bai Caixuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh contemptuously, it was just in time, she couldn't clean her up the first two times, this time, she will definitely be called to make a fool of herself in public, so that she will not be able to raise her head in the capital for the rest of her life!
"Lizhan, Lizhan." Bai Caixuan looked at her thoughtfully, "Do you think that a similar name can arouse the pity of His Highness and replace her as the concubine?" ”
Everyone suddenly realized, and they all raised their eyes to look at the stunning face of Lizhan for a moment, but soon, those jealousies turned into contempt.
"Her name is Lizhan?"
"Why didn't I know that Changfeng Pharmacy also has a young lady named Lizhan?"
"You have shallow ears, the lost concubine of Changfeng Pharmacy, don't you know that the ghost doctor is gone?"
"Concubine? How can a concubine be eligible to participate in the selection? ”
"People leaving home are big families in the end."
"What about the big family of Zhumen? She is not only a concubine, but also has been stocked in Fangxia Mountain for ten years, I heard that when she first came to leave home, she was dressed like a flower child, and she was innocent! ”
"It turns out that she is not only a concubine, but also a hillbilly, hahahahahaha!"
Everyone covered their mouths and snickered in unison.
Lizhan hid her fists in her sleeves and struggled, I have to admit that she and Bai Caixuan are really natural rivals, but unfortunately she hasn't been able to fight with her in her previous life, so she died in vain, in this life, she will definitely settle accounts with her one by one!
This time in the East Palace, she just wanted to steal the medicine in a low-key manner, but now the enemy came to the door to stir up trouble, and as soon as the anger came up, she changed her mind!
Not only did she have to steal the medicine, but she also had to embarrass Bai Caixuan in public!
You want to replace her as the hostess of the East Palace, right? Phew, today I want her to know that Lao Tzu's position, even if Lao Tzu doesn't want it, it won't be someone else's turn!
He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Caixuan's cheeks. Today, she didn't wear a veil, but a peony painted on her cheek.
At first glance, I thought it was just an ingenious makeup, and it was a popular makeup among famous ladies nowadays. But Lizhan knew that she had a scar on her face, so she looked at it very carefully.
The pattern is painted with crimson rouge petals, about the same shade as the scar left on her face, and the silver gill bones are used as branches, which are just right. But if you look twice, you can find a short centipede scar hidden in it.
Lizhan Qi'er smiled, and before he could speak, Bai Caixuan became uncomfortable.
"What are you staring at me?"
"Look at you. Miss Bai, who painted this flower on your face for you, it's really chic. ”
Bai Caixuan hurriedly raised his hand to cover it, and spoke very quickly, "Lizhan, I advise you to be honest today!" This is in the palace! If you are as reckless as before, be careful and make a big heel, you won't be able to climb up! ”
Lizhan chuckled: "Yo, Miss Bai, I praised you for your good looks, why did you warn me in turn?" You are the concubine of the Bai family, high up. I'm a mere girl, and I can't pose a threat. I was originally a foil for Miss Bai, just a green leaf, what can I do honestly? What if you are not honest? Do you need to bother? ”
Bai Caixuan was choked and short of breath. But because of Lizhan's words, she couldn't care about her in front of so many people.
Because the more she cares, the more she cares, and the more she cares, the more she lowers her identity. How could she drill into that slut's full suit?
Bai Caixuan waved his sleeves and said with a half-smile: "Okay, what a sharp tooth." I just hope you remember your words well, the green leaves should have the appearance of green leaves, otherwise ......"
Bai Caixuan's knuckles tightened: "The noisy leaves will be picked up sooner or later!" ”
