Chapter 143: The Shaw Family
Chapter 143 Shaw
Li Zhi was worried that Yongning would be reprimanded by Fang Xuanling, so when he sent Yongning back to his home, he went to meet Fang Xuanling. Although Fang Xuanling's face was a little ugly, in the end he gave Li Zhi face, only glared at Yongning twice, and then let her go back to the room to rest.
Of course, this was also because Li Shimin happened to send someone to announce it at that time, so Yongning passed the customs so smoothly and safely.
Yongning has been busy from the morning to the present, although the body is still supportive, but she can't hold back her tiredness, but this matter prefers to rush to the day, she just wanted to rest for a while, and someone came to report it, saying that the Jin Wangfu was sending gifts, and she wanted to pick it up in person......
Yongning was a little surprised, after all, he had just separated from Li Zhi, and Li Zhi had never mentioned it. And this way of giving gifts really doesn't look like Li Zhi's style. Li Zhi gave her things, and he always gave them by himself, even if he faked it to others, at most, it was Princess Gaoyang, Princess Jinyang and other people she was very familiar with.
But at this time, Princess Gaoyang had already returned to Chang'an first, and Princess Jinyang had just met her in Qingyunguan, so she was really a little curious, which one did Li Zhi sing.
She originally wanted to rest, but she had already broken her hair, so she had to put some effort to dress herself up at this time, and it was not good to be rude to the people who came to give gifts to the Jin Palace. However, she has used this little magic spell for grooming very skillfully over the years, and it only took a moment to retouch the water hibiscus, and she looked left and right at the clear water mirror, and felt that nothing had been left behind, and then she went to the living room.
As soon as he entered the front hall, Yongning couldn't help frowning. The things piled up in the living room really don't look like they were arranged by Li Zhihui, and the more than a dozen dark red gift boxes with gold patterns are carried from rouge gouache to silk and satin, but where are these like giving her a "monk"?
Yongning's face immediately sank, and he looked up, only to see a woman dressed as **, sitting upright on the main seat. She thought that this woman seemed to have a familiar face, but she had never been good at remembering people, so she really couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.
Just as Yongning looked at the woman's work, the woman also looked at Yongning carefully, then pursed her lips slightly, and said in a haughty tone: "Ning Zhen's little lady is too big, right?" There are many words that have not been wrong for so long to come out......" Her heart was actually slightly relieved, she had seen Yongning a few years ago, and at that time she was conceited that her appearance could overpower Yongning, and now she sees Yongning again, although it has grown, it has not become a country and a city, and her heart has been put down.
Yongning raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know if this lady is ......" The woman was tightly wrapped in a large cloak of black fox fur, which made it difficult for her to guess her identity from the clothes, but looking at the clothes of the maid standing beside her, it seemed that she had some identity.
The woman's face changed slightly, and she gently pulled the cloak off her body a little, but did not speak, but just glanced at the maid beside her. The maid hurriedly stood up and opened her eyes for the master: "Be bold, your aunt is too rude, this is the most favored concubine Xiao Shu of His Royal Highness King Jin."
Yongning had actually seen some clues from the Xiao family's clothing at this time, but he still couldn't help but crook the corners of his mouth for the three words "most favored" in the maid's mouth. It's just a concubine, and she dared to find the temporary prime minister's mansion directly, wanting to give her a dismount, which shows that this concubine is also not smart......
Yongning didn't have the heart to bother with such a person, so he bowed his head and looked at those gifts again, and then frowned again. It's really troublesome, why don't you send these things in the morning half an hour? This matter should have been handled by Li Zhi personally, but Yongning was depressed.
When Xiao Shi saw Yongning's move, the hatred in his heart became more and more high. In the last two months, a concubine beside Li Zhi gave birth to a son, and another concubine was found to be pregnant, these two things made her stunned, obviously she was more favored, but over the years, she only had a daughter, and then there was nothing. Originally, she also thought that she would take advantage of this opportunity to accompany Li Zhi to go out, so that she could conceive another one, if she could get a man in one fell swoop, I am afraid that this concubine is expected to be able to become a side concubine.
However, even if it is forgotten, anyway, there are only a few people who followed Li Zhi out this time, one just gave birth to a child, and the other was pregnant, but they were all left in Luoyang, and now Li Zhi's side is really quiet, in addition to her, there are only two other concubines who really don't want Li Zhi. She also thought that when she arrived in Dingzhou, it would be all her chances, who knew that she hadn't even placed her luggage, so she heard the news that Yongning was now in Dingzhou. Then it didn't take long for someone to send her a letter, saying that as soon as Li Zhi came out of the imperial study, he followed the father and daughter of the Fang family to the house.
Xiao's anger, she has been with Li Zhi for a few years, whether it is her own observation or the rumors in the house, it really proves that the Fang family, the monk Ning Zhen Xiaodao Gu, is the sweetheart of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, she gritted her teeth and looked at Yongning with resentment and jealousy, and was very annoyed that this little Dao Gu was not at ease when she left home, and her appearance was not much better, how could she tie His Royal Highness the King of Jin's heart tightly?
"These gifts ......" Yongning looked at those gifts carefully, picked up a set of dark embroidered cloud brocade robes from an inconspicuous tray and put them on the several cases at hand, and said: "Probably except for this robe, the others are not the meaning of His Royal Highness King Jin, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"
The reason why Yongning said this was entirely because Li Zhi really complained about the blue sermon robe on her body today, saying that she had wronged herself too much. And when she was still in Chang'an, Li Zhi had sent several sets of such Yunjin robes, which she often wore when she first got them, and she also praised Princess Gaoyang a few times for the comfortable clothes and fine workmanship...... Compared with these more than a dozen gifts, it seems that this robe looks like Li Zhi's handwriting.
Xiao's face was even more ugly, she never expected that Yongning would be able to see at a glance which was Li Zhi's intention. This Xiao Shi met the little eunuch who was sent by Li Zhi to take this robe from his residence, and he insisted on taking this errand on himself. She actually arrived at the house before Li Zhi and Yongning, but she inquired in advance and knew that Li Zhi had taken Yongning out and had not returned, so she had been waiting not far away. Later, it was not until Li Zhi and Fang Xuanling went out together that they forcibly suppressed the jealousy to see Yongning.
Xiao Shiqiang smiled and said: "Most of these things are prepared by the concubine, and the concubine thinks that the little lady is coming alone, and she is afraid that she will lack daily necessities, so she specially chose some to send to the little lady...... These, but they don't fit the little lady's mind? That's okay, when the concubine goes back, she will let someone choose another one and send it, that is, ......"
Yongning glanced at Xiao Shi with a smile, pointed to the red silk satin in the gift box, and said, "Xiao Dao is already a monk, but Concubine Xiao Shu sent such a thing...... Thinking about Xiaodao, he should let His Royal Highness King Jin give Xiaodao and give the Fang family an explanation, "After she carefully read these gifts, she was really angry, where did this Xiao prepare something like to give her a "monk"? This specification is clearly a small gift for a rich family to accept a noble concubine.
When Xiao asked people to prepare these things, she really breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, she was glanced at by Yongning's small eyes, and swallowed the words hidden in the bones, she came to her senses a little, and then she couldn't help sweating on her head in the cold weather. She felt Sensen's crisis from Yongning's words, where did she come to humiliate Yongning, she was obviously digging a pit for herself, preparing to bury herself alive
Not to mention what Li Zhi's reaction was when he saw these things, let's just say that Fang Xuanling saw it, I'm afraid that the Xiao family behind her will have to peel off the skin, right? There are many words that are not wrong, Xiao Shi was fascinated by jealousy at the beginning, but when he reflected on it at this time, he immediately remembered that Yongning was a monk, and that was also Fang Xuanling, the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty...... She secretly scolded herself, why didn't she come to the hysteria just now?
Xiao Shi didn't care about wiping his sweat, so he quickly stood up and walked to Yongning's side, and said with a gentle smile: "This is because the concubine is confused, but it makes the little lady smile...... The concubine will go back, and prepare another gift for the little lady to ......" As she spoke, she glanced at the people around her, wanting to take away those things that were out of place.
Yongning originally felt unhappy in her heart when she heard Xiao's identity report, and with these insulting gifts, she felt even more panicked in her heart. Snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to stop the Xiao family who wanted to leave, and said, "Why is Concubine Xiao in a hurry to leave? His Royal Highness the King of Jin is so 'favored' Concubine Xiao Shu, he will definitely not mind 'personally' coming to pick up Concubine Xiao back."
Xiao Shi could no longer maintain the calm expression on his face at this moment, and looked at Yongning in horror. She knew that if Yongning insisted on letting Li Zhi come over to "pick up" her, then she would definitely not be able to get a good ...... However, if she begged Yongning to let her go, she really couldn't pull off this face.
Xiao really didn't expect that the girl who was silent back then would be so sharp in her words, and she couldn't imagine that Yongning, who looked quiet and delicate, could leave such a room for trouble. Her eyes gradually panicked, but the more panicked she became, the more she lost her mind.
Just when Xiao Shi gritted his teeth and was about to bow his head to Yongning to give in, he heard a voice outside the door that made her heart beat -
"What are you doing here?" It was Li Zhi who turned the shadow wall and walked over
As he spoke, Li Zhi had already walked into the front hall quickly, he first looked Yongning up and down, and after seeing that Yongning just had a bad face and nothing else wrong, he turned his head and stared coldly at Xiao Shi, who had fallen to his knees trembling slightly......
