This is a private room with ancient charm, and when you open the door, you will be greeted by the smell of orchids. Smoke curled in the private room, and next to the incense burner sat two charming people, one was Meng Wan'er, whom she was familiar with, and the other was a woman in a gorgeous dress with ink silk coiled.

The woman's white face, the corners of her eyes were elongated and slightly cold, her head was full of black ink silk and rolled into a peony bun, with a red jade ring on her head, and she was wearing a quartz purple dress, with wide sleeves and long swings.

This person must be Concubine Xue, the daughter of Xue Zhizheng of the Seventh Rank Guanglu Temple. Xue is an honest official, Xue Mansion is cold, Concubine Xue grew up in such an environment, and now she is pouring wealth and wealth, although she is not how dignified and gorgeous how to come, but she can't get used to the nobility of those people in the century-old gate valve from the bones, which can be seen only on this jewelry dress.

Entering the door, Chu Yunsheng nodded to Concubine Xue, "I heard that Concubine Xue asked me to come up for a talk?" ”

Concubine Xue bowed her head lightly and turned to look at Meng Wan'er, "When I went upstairs, Miss Meng said that she seemed to see the county lord, so I asked Han Xiang to go down to find it, but I didn't expect it to be the county lord." ”

Meng Wan'er explained, "I remember that Sister Pingyang likes to come to Juwei Building, and I was not sure after a quick glance just now, I just mentioned it to Concubine Xue, but I didn't expect Concubine Xue to really let people look for it." Concubine Xue's enthusiasm was really beyond Meng Wan'er's expectations.

Concubine Xue smiled lightly, "Meeting is fate, since you are in a restaurant, then please come up and sit and talk." While speaking, Concubine Xue's eyes turned to the county lord in front of her, there were not many rumors about this county lord, and she thought that she was a good person to get along with.

Meng Wan'er's smart eyes flowed over the two of them, seeing that Chu Yunsheng was still standing, she was slightly surprised in her heart, and glanced at Concubine Xue, "Why is Sister Pingyang still standing, come and sit!." ”

Chu Yunsheng moved out of an embroidery pier and sat down, as the host, Concubine Xue realized that the hospitality was improper, and her expression was slightly embarrassed, "Just now Miss Meng said that the county lord often comes to Juwei Building, and it just so happens that this is my first time here, and the county lord leads me to know the delicious delicacies of this Juwei Building." ”

Chu Yunsheng didn't think much about it in his heart, but Concubine Xue's eyes fell on her, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, "Everyone's preferences are different, what Pingyang likes is not necessarily what you like Concubine Xue." ”

Seeing the order list in Concubine Xue's hand, she said, "Pingyang has eaten downstairs just now, you can order the dishes you like, not as good as thinking about Pingyang." ”

Concubine Xue didn't say anything anymore, and only ordered six signature dishes from Juwei Building, as well as two small porridges and two soups.

In the process of waiting for the food, the three people in the house fell silent, because they were not familiar with Concubine Xue, Meng Wan'er and Chu Yunsheng talked, "Sister Pingyang has been closed in the house for the past two months, and now she has finally come out, if there is no arrangement in the afternoon, let's go to the street to take a walk and see how the clothes and jewelry are?" ”

During this time, Yongning Mansion closed its doors to visitors, and finally met Chu Yunsheng, and Meng Wan'er hoped to get along with her more.

"I won't go on the street, some time ago, the palace just gave a batch of early autumn clothes and ten Shu brocades, if Wan'er likes it, wait for someone to send two to Taifu's mansion." Chu Yunsheng said indifferently, as if what was rewarded was not the treasures of the palace, but just some ordinary things.

Meng Wan'er's eyes lit up, but she refused, "How can Wan'er ask for the things that the palace has rewarded." ”

"Out of the way." Chu Yunsheng shook his head in a sensed manner, most of the treasury of Yongning Mansion was supported by the New Year's Festival and solar terms, and the things rewarded by the palace, and the hard-to-find Shu brocade outside was just an ordinary thing in Yongning Mansion.

"Just now when I met Miss Meng in the jewelry store over there, I heard the maid next to Miss Meng's family sigh that the things in the embroidery spring workshop were out of stock before they arrived, and now the county lord gave it to Miss Meng, why did Miss Meng refuse." It was Concubine Xue who spoke, if it weren't for the complaints of the maids beside Meng Wan'er when she bumped into Meng Wan'er, I'm afraid she would have been standing here listening to these two people talk word by word, and she wouldn't even have a chance to interject.

Meng Wan'er shook her head, "You can't give away the things that are given by the emperor without permission, no matter how much Wan'er likes it in her heart, she can't break the rules because of her own selfish desires, so as not to make people criticize." ”

Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng's eyebrows moved slightly, and the corners of his eyes stretched to Concubine Xue's side, as if Concubine Xue didn't understand another layer of meaning, and her face remained unwavering.

"Then it's really difficult to do, the best Shu brocade is a tribute, some slightly inferior goods, the capital will also embroider the spring fang, as for the other Shu brocade, it is difficult to see." Concubine Xue's tone was full of regret.

Chu Yunsheng didn't know much about clothing, but he just felt that those brocades and embroideries were very exquisite. Seeing that Meng Wan'er liked Shu brocade very much, she said, "Some time ago, I looked at the account books of Yongning Mansion and found that Yongning Mansion orders brocade from the Shen family in Shu all year round, and the imperial gifts cannot be distributed separately. ”

Hearing this, Meng Wan'er had a smile on her face, "Thank you, the county lord, it just so happens that Wan'er hasn't been to Yongning Mansion for a long time, this time I went to take a look by the way, so I won't trouble the county lord to send it to you." ”

"It's fine." Chu Yunsheng nodded.

It didn't take long for the food to be served, Chu Yunsheng had already eaten seven or eight minutes full downstairs, and when she saw the delicate and fragrant food on this table, she couldn't help but move her chopsticks twice, from seven or eight minutes full to very full.

During the banquet, Concubine Xue was dignified and graceful even when she ate, obviously she was told by the trained grandmother to pay attention to her manners, and her words and deeds represented the face of the East Palace.

After the meal, Chu Yunsheng wanted to go back to Yongning Mansion. But he really ate too much, Chu Yunsheng could only drink a few cups of tea to eliminate the accumulated food, and wait for his stomach to ease a little before leaving.

Concubine Xue watched Chu Yunsheng put down her chopsticks, she finished eating the leek dumplings in her mouth, and then wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

She wanted to talk to Pingyang County Lord and Meng Wan'er, and was about to speak, but suddenly found that there seemed to be no common topic between them, and a flash of gloom quickly flashed at the moment.

Chu Yunsheng's stomach was swollen so much that she naturally didn't have the time to care about Concubine Xue, but she was curious, this Xue family was not as peerless and independent as she imagined, how could the prince only fall in love with such a woman, and even make such a big sacrifice for a woman.

She has seen Qi Jin, who is definitely the best among everyone's ladies, and now that she sees the prince's favorite concubine, Chu Yunsheng has only one impression in her heart - Concubine Xue is not worthy of His Royal Highness the prince at all.

She opened the corners of her mouth, wanting to tease a few words, but she couldn't help but hold back.

No matter what she thinks of Concubine Xue, Concubine Xue only needs the favor of the prince alone!
