What does Sheng Yunjiang want to do, do you really want to contact me for a relationship?

I stared at her blankly, puzzled: "Sister Sheng, looking at my road, what do you mean?"

"If the princess wants to know what I mean, why don't you follow me to find out."

I tilted my head to Duobu and winked at her, Duobu understood, and immediately said: "Princess, today is the banquet set up by the concubine, you must not be late." What's more, the crown princess is still waiting for you in front, why don't you go over and take a look first? ”

I looked like I was stunned, patted my head and said, "Yes, look at my memory, I said that I can't remember anything, it turns out that the crown princess is waiting for me."

I turned around and greeted Sheng Yunjiang with a smile, pretending to be embarrassed: "Sister Sheng, you see that I can't spare time to chat with you now." If you have anything to say, let's talk about it another day, the princess is still waiting for me. ”

Sheng Yunjiang raised his eyebrows and smiled, his red lips opened lightly, and said: "Yunjiang is neither a snake and a scorpion, nor a charm, what is the princess afraid of." It's enough just to rely on our old feelings, why don't we even have the time to sit down and drink the same tea? After a pause, he said, "Or is the princess really unwilling to see Yun Jiang and refuse to appreciate her face?" ”

I grinned and didn't bother to explain.

I'm afraid you're a fake, but it's true not to see you.

The friendship between me and Sheng Yunjiang is only the friendship that we had when we were young and listened to the study ceremony in Shangshuyuan, and it is very shallow, and we are not even friends. At that time, because she often walked with Tao Xu'er, she was also classified as a banquet minister, and she didn't have much intersection with us on weekdays. Every time Miss Tao made trouble or Princess Yanchen lost her temper, she came forward to mediate and act as a peacemaker. On the surface, she is Tao Xuer's best friend, but more of it, she looks like Tao Xu'er's follower. Although Sheng Yunjiang does not have the arrogance of Tao Xu'er, but I am not very willing to make friends with her, I always feel that she is deep-minded, joy and anger are invisible, although she likes to play round, but it gives people a kind of her, she is good at watching the fire on the other side.

Later, in order to compete for the concubine of Changji, she tried hard to persuade me to give up competing with her, but after I rejected mercilessly, she threatened me in a different way. I'm not a soft persimmon, how can I let her take advantage? I have become the concubine of Changji, and Sheng Yunjiang and I can be regarded as breaking off the last bit of politeness. Obviously, they all live in Jiankang City, but they rarely meet, but they meet occasionally, I have the heart to say hello, but she often pretends not to see me. She didn't want to deal with her, and I was not good at getting along with people, so I went with her. I don't know each other, and I have the determination to never get along. Now, she is still in love with me?

"Sister Sheng, what are you talking about, it's really angry. It's just that you also know that today is the banquet of the concubine, and we will go to enjoy the flowers and some tea together, and all the wives and relatives of all families must go on time, and of course I can't delay it, and miss the hour. Sister Sheng is also here for this matter today? Let's catch up, then when the banquet is over, you go back with me, whether it's going to King Jing's Mansion or Shengfu, let's sit down and talk slowly. ”

Sheng Yunjiang said: "The concubine's banquet is not in a hurry, but what I want to say is very urgent. Don't worry, I can't delay you for long, you can relax. ”

The implication is that she still won't let me go.

I uphold the mentality that people don't provoke me, I don't provoke others, and I have always been kind to others, but if others deliberately want to do something to provoke me, then I am not easy to bully.

I immediately turned cold, and was about to sternly refuse her forcible retention, but Duobu was one step ahead of me, and his tone was stiff, and he was indifferent: "Miss Sheng, you and the princess of my family have not had a deep friendship, and the palace and the Sheng family do not move around often, so they are not deep friends." Today, you and my princess are seeing each other in this palace, and you are also entrusted with the concubine's banquet, and my princess is willing to say a few more words to you, also in line with the word etiquette, and you really don't need to pretend to be an acquaintance to talk. If there is nothing important, please ask Miss Sheng to move, don't get in the way. ”

Sheng Yunjiang's face changed slightly, his eyes showed a cold light, he stared at Duobu, responded with the same cold face, and said disdainfully: "When the master speaks, a little maid dares to interject and speak falsely, is this the rule of your Jingwang Mansion?" Unorthodox. ”

Duobu is neither humble nor arrogant, she doesn't need me to come out, she can talk back by herself: "The rules of the palace are naturally understood by the people of our palace, and Miss Sheng is not from the palace, so she doesn't need to know what our rules are, of course, you don't have to worry about it." Besides, the rules are also for talents, and those who have rules are told, and those who don't have rules don't need to be told. Miss Sheng stands in the way for no reason, and she is also a casual and free person, not controlled by the rules, why bother talking to me about the word rules, don't you think it's ridiculous? ”

Sheng Yunjiang frowned and glared angrily: "You ......"

I hurriedly said, "Okay, Duobu, you don't have to say a word." Stand behind me. ”

Sheng Yunjiang today, I'm afraid that he is deliberately trying to find fault.

I shook my head at Duobu, took a deep breath, still maintained the last politeness, turned my head to Sheng Yunjiang and asked, "Sister Sheng, what is the secret thing that needs to be clarified with me alone?" If it's a trivial matter, you don't have to go to such trouble, and you can go somewhere else to talk about it, and it's okay to talk about it here. If you really are a big deal, I don't know that I can still give you ideas. ”

Sheng Yunjiang tried to curb the anger aroused by Duobu, closed his eyes, and the displeasure gradually faded: "Since it is a secret matter, of course you have to say it secretly."

She moved, leaned closer to me, and her voice was like a mosquito voice: "There is an old man, I want to invite you for a while."

Old friend? I'm here, what else can I do?

"Sister Sheng, can you tell me who this old man you are talking about?"

Sheng Yunjiang looked around and said vigilantly: "You go to a place with me, and that ancient man is waiting for you here."

I thought about it for a while, presumably in public, she would never do anything to me, besides, if it was about fighting, she was really not my opponent.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Duobu grabbed me, shook his head and said, "Princess, don't!"

I patted her hand, "It's fine. ”

Duo Bu and I followed Sheng Yunjiang to a secluded palace, which was only two quarters of an hour away from Qingle Palace, and it could be desolate?

After entering the courtyard, Sheng Yunjiang suddenly stopped under a big tree, and after standing still, he smiled at me, "Here, the old man is here." ”

Then he whispered to the rockery: "What are you still hiding, come out."

I subconsciously looked towards the rockery, and two people came out of the back, one in front of the other and the other behind, both wearing hoods to cover their faces, so that people could not see the true face. One of them was dressed in ordinary coarse purple cloth, and the other was dressed in an old-fashioned navy blue linen suit, and it was initially known that these were two women.

Duo Bu and I looked at each other, and at the same time turned our heads to look at the incoming man, "Who are you?"

Sheng Yunjiang stared at the visitor, fanned the fan with interest, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Don't put down the hood yet." Let the princess see your face. ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment when they heard the sound, as if they were hesitating to put down their hoods, and after some hesitation, the woman in purple clothes slowly took off her hood and looked up to reveal a face.

At first glance, I couldn't help but take a few steps back, not because I was frightened, but because I was scared.

I covered my mouth and said in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"

The face was disfigured, and the large scars seemed to have been left after the fire, and they were terrifying, twisted and terrifying.

The girl in purple hurriedly took out a piece of ropa from her sleeve to cover her face, put her hood back on, and then replied to me: "No, it's me, I'm..."

She struggled to pronounce words, and her voice was hoarse and rough, as if she had damaged her vocal cords.

I took a step closer and asked, "Do I know you?" Who are you? From Beiqiu? ”。

Sheng Yunjiang covered his face with a fan, smiled, and mocked: "Sister Tao, you see how bad your popularity is, I haven't seen you for a few years, and everyone has forgotten about you." But also, in the past, you targeted people everywhere, where are you willing to bother to remember you, the lost dog. What's more, you have burned your face now, a person with a skin is not like a human ghost or a ghost, and I feel that my eyes are dirty when I look at you, who wants to take care of you? ”

I didn't bother to listen to Sheng Yunjiang's nonsense, I only looked at the woman in purple in surprise, and said in disbelief: "Sister Tao? Are you, Tao Yuer? ”

She wrapped her face tightly, staring at me with only a pair of beautiful eyes, but there was no bright color in the eyes, dull and dull yellow, not full of vicissitudes.

Sheng Yunjiang snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Isn't it her, why, you still cover your face and refuse to see anyone?" Didn't you kneel down and beg me to let me find someone for you, and now that everyone is in front of you, you don't speak again? ”

I glanced at Sheng Yunjiang meaningfully, and motioned for her to shut up, showing displeasure, she was also interested, and immediately stopped.

Could it really be Tao Yu'er, then who is the person wearing navy blue behind her? I glanced behind her, and she didn't seem to want me to know who the person behind me was, so she immediately stepped over to block my view and whispered, "Missing—"

I turned my head to look at Tao Yu'er, and refocused on her. There is a big question mark in my heart, this person is really a pottery? How did she become what she is now, and what has she been through in the past few years. After the Tao family was wiped out, only Tao Ruo and Tao Xu'er, who were killed in righteousness, were left. Tao Su'er was originally charged into the court as an official maid, and then entered the Anyang palace as a maid, Tao Ruozi and Sheng Yunjiang dissolved the marriage contract, so he asked to go to Jizhou as a foreign official, I thought that he would take Tao Su'er with him. If Tao Xu'er didn't go to Jizhou, he would have stayed in Anyang Palace. And the king of Anyang, not long ago, was sentenced to the nine clans for the crime of deliberate rebellion for the private possession of **, and ended up with the same fate as the former Tao family. Tao Xu'er was a slave in the Anyang Palace, and she was also implicated, even if she was exempted from death, she would inevitably be charged into the court as an official and maid again, and she could also explain why she didn't see me outside the palace and came to this abandoned palace. But, what is she here for?

I unconsciously stepped back, separating myself from her, "Sister Tao, is it really you?" I don't believe it, you don't lie to me, Tao Xu'er is not your face. ”

"It's really me."

I really want to ask, how can your face be disfigured like this.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was rude, so I forgot it.

Seeing my shocked face, Tao Su'er couldn't help but sneer: "It's me, Tao Su'er, you really can't recognize me?"
