Chapter 17 The Imperial Capital's Noblewoman
After Bai Yiyan returned home, he told the Li family the results of their discussion. Li couldn't help but sigh, the blue is better than the blue, the strategy of the few of them is very thorough, in this battle without gunpowder, it seems that they no longer need their own figure. Li was relieved and grateful, and she decided to let Bai Qingyun and Bai Yiyan take full responsibility this time. When she heard that Jiang Yutang's father was the Holy Hand of Kyushu, Li was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that he would be able to escape with his son from the fire back then, which was really lucky.
Bai Yiyan tossed for a day, and finally fell asleep on Li's lap. Li touched her hair, looking at her daughter's more and more charming face, and there were all kinds of reluctance and contradictions in her heart. Her widow grew up, and the experience fell from the peak to the bottom in one day, but she still maintained the purest heart to send Feng Yu Xiu on a journey. After experiencing a huge blow, she is now able to fight again, and she has to admit that Bai Qingyun's spiritual support for her is huge. Li couldn't help but ask herself, she always wanted to hide her and Qingyun to shelter them from the wind and rain, but now that their light is beginning to appear, can she really stop it?
This night, Bai Yiyan slept very soundly, and he didn't even dream. On the contrary, in the Shen Mansion, Bai Qingyun tossed and turned, he couldn't forget Ahri's bitter tears, and what he couldn't forget was her pink cherry lips, which were light and soft to the touch, with a hint of coolness. He struggled in his heart again, and he even selfishly thought, if she really broke away from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and he also went with her, would it be possible for them to be together? Or should she accept Shen Rongzhi's suggestion and stand in a position where no one can bully her? He found that he saw Ahri again this time, and his heart was completely out of control.
In the Prince's Mansion, Yuwen Moyuan was drinking sullen wine alone, and he couldn't even stop. He thought about Feng Yuxiu, he didn't say a word for him today, he was executed, and he couldn't send him on his last journey, and he was a friend for many years. He was also thinking about Bai Yiyan, her slender figure appeared in his mind, what should she do? How could he willingly give her away? He still remembered that Feng Yuxiu said that she was not mortal, and that Yuwen Mochi could control her, and he also asked himself to be careful of her. She is not mortal, and neither is he, Yuwen Moyuan thinks that only such an extraordinary woman is worthy of a future emperor like herself. Yuwen Moyuan then remembered Yuwen Mochi with hatred, his ambition is not small, and when he wins the throne, he must let him die a good death.
Bai Yiyan acted according to the original plan in the next few days, and asked Wan Ping to continue to send her messages every day, and she hand-copied a copy to send to Bai Qingyun.
Bai Yiyan calmed down, and pondered the situation in the Hundred Flowers Banquet and Yitu Pavilion over and over again, making speculations little by little. Although I don't know who the woman is, there are a few things that can be deduced. First of all, this person is not familiar to Bai Yiyan, and he has not heard her voice. Again, this woman's status is not low, so she has the confidence to be the concubine of Yuwen Mochi. And this woman can arrange everything in such a short time after the marriage, which proves that there must be someone she knows in the palace, and she should be a frequent person in the palace. If you often enter the palace, and you are a non-royal woman, it must be because she has the blue eyes of a nobleman, either related to the concubine Niangniang, or has a good relationship with a certain princess. The spiced incense and tea are not completely untraceable, but they are by no means common poisons, and the medicine comes from the south, and it is likely that the woman's family came from the south, or has some kind of relationship with the south. And the most important thing is that since she planned to let herself and the eldest prince be bumped into by someone, proving that the Hundred Flowers Banquet should not have ended at that time, then the people who suddenly disappeared during the banquet were the most suspicious.
Bai Yiyan probably has a direction in her heart, and then she is going to turn this person out of the nobles of the imperial capital. She went to Wan Ping first, she was Bai Yiyan's most trusted friend in the imperial capital, and the two families had a deep relationship, she would definitely be able to stand on her side without hesitation.
The two chatted for a long time, and this time Bai Yiqian clearly told Wan Ping how Yuwen Mochi wanted to calculate her calculation of the Yuanhou Mansion, so she couldn't marry Yuwen Mochi. Wan Ping gritted her teeth when she heard this, it turned out that everything was a trap, and in vain she still felt that he was a good person who was enough to match Bai Yiyan. Wan Ping asked Bai Yiyan if there was anything she could do to help her. Bai Yiyan made her think about it for a while, except for herself, how many people had disappeared from the Hundred Flowers Banquet after Emperor Wei's marriage. Although a long time has passed, because of the major event of marriage that day, Wan Ping still remembered a rough idea. She listed eight people, not counting Wang Mingxia, the second daughter of Doctor Guanglu, who was resting in the side hall at that time. According to the standards in his heart, Bai Yiyan cooperated with Wan Ping's analysis of the background of the noble daughters, and crossed out the impossible six of them, leaving only three people: Wang Mingxia, the second daughter of Dr. Guanglu, Wu Ziji, the daughter of Taichangqing, and Xue Huaibi, the youngest daughter of Princess Guangxin. Wan Ping recommended asking Xue Liangyu again, her unforgettable good skills are well-known in the circle of noble women, she must be able to accurately tell how many people left the table that day, maybe even when they left the table and when they came back. Bai Yiyan thought about it and refused with a sigh, firstly because she didn't want to move too much and startle the snake. In addition, Xue Liangyu's eldest uncle is Princess Guangxin, which means that the suspicious Xue Huaibi is her cousin, and she can't guarantee that Xue Liangyu doesn't know about this matter at all. She thought for a while while with her tea, now that the woman didn't know that she was in Yitu Pavilion that day, she should be able to meet three suspicious people in the open, if she could deduce which one it was from their voices, then she didn't have to bother looking for it.
The next question is how to meet the three of them. Bai Yiyan and the three of them had no intersection, and neither did Wan Ping. After thinking about it, I still have to go to Xue Liangyu, her communication skills are good, and her popularity is first-class in the circle of noble girls, so she must know what kind of party these three people will attend.
The two of them made a decision, and the resolute decision was prepared to prepare a post, so they went to find Xue Liangyu. When he arrived at Lang Zhongling's house, Xue Liangyu was looking forward to it, and happily pulled the two into the house, and said angrily: "You two little conscienceless, you haven't been at home to play with me for so long, why did you come to the door today?" Do you miss me? ”
Bai Yiyan responded with a smile: "Yes, yes, who made our Miss Xue very charming, but she can't see her for a day, like every three autumns." ”
Xue Liangyu slapped her with a smile: "I used to think that Wan Ping's mouth was powerful, but I didn't expect you to be more powerful than her now." You have come just in time, and you have a blessed mouth. My uncle just sent black plum juice, which is newly made according to the recipe in the palace, and the three of us will go to the pavilion to taste it in a while. Bai Yiyan heard Xue Liangyu mention her uncle, which was a good entry point, and said with a smile: "Okay." Just in time for two more fish fishing at the pavilion. By the way, is the county lord Wanrou going to marry into Dr. Guanglu's family next month? You sisters didn't plan on getting together to have fun before she went out? ”
The lord of Wanrou is the eldest daughter of Princess Guangxin, and she is engaged to the eldest son of Dr. Guanglu, and she will be married next month.
Xue Liangyu was a little surprised, Bai Yiyan had a good relationship with her before, but she didn't have any contact with the sisters of the uncle's family, why did she care about this? However, thinking that she was going to marry into the royal family in less than two months, it was normal for her to familiarize herself with interpersonal relationships in advance, so she said: "Our sisters are going to Cuiwei Mountain to visit the lake in three days, and you two should come together." But I guess there will be other girls, don't you mind? ”
What Bai Yiyan needs now is to see more noble girls and listen to their voices. Of course, I agreed without hesitation. Wan Ping also responded.
Bai Yiyan gave Wan Ping another look, and Wan Ping opened her mouth and asked Xue Liangyu: "Can you tell me who will go that day?" ”
Xue Liangyu began to count: "My uncle's daughters will go, my third sister and I will go, and the fourth sister will not take her too young." Among the ladies from other families, of course, all the girls from Dr. Guanglu's family will go. Guangyan said that the county lord of Chaoyan of the eldest princess's family and the county lord of Mingshan of the Su Wang family will also go; Zhao Guogong's family also took the post, although he didn't say who would arrive, but I guess Zhao Wanzhu will definitely go to join in the fun; The Prime Minister's family and the Taiwei family heard that the eldest sister also sent a post to the past, and the fourth lady of the Shaofuqing family and the Taichang Qing family also went. ”
Bai Yiyan secretly admired when he heard this, this Xue family's methods are really good, a party before marriage, you can get half of the court's daughters over, no wonder Xue Liangyu's father did Lang Zhongling. But this saved her trouble, and the three suspects in her heart would participate in the lake tour that day.
Wan Ping listened to Zhao Wanzhu's name, and was a little unhappy. After she came back from the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she once met Zhao Wanzhu on the street again, and the two of them borrowed the origin of a bracelet, new and old hatreds got together, and finally fought in public. Both of them had practiced martial arts, and even the servant girl with them had a good temper, so the servant girl who was supposed to persuade them later joined the battle group. In the end, Bai Qingchen happened to pass by and persuaded them. Of course, Bai Qingchen's martial arts foundation is better than that of the two young ladies, and he is in his youth, so the two of them can't beat him. However, Bai Qingchen is also a wilted lord in his heart, and took the opportunity to pull the fight, so Wan Ping took the opportunity to beat Zhao Wanzhu several times, almost breaking the phase. In the end, Zhao Wanzhu left with a snort, vowing to make her look good when she saw Wan Ping again. And Bai Qingchen bought the bracelet, the culprit of the fight between the two people, and gave it to Wan Ping as her trophy.
After Wan Ping returned home, she was scolded by her mother. Fortunately, the Marquis of Funan saved her, and the old marquis not only did not criticize her when he heard her glorious deeds of fighting, but also laughed and said: "It's not my granddaughter Wan Qinan, who has courage." The next time you encounter this situation, remember to hit until the other person is lying down. Wan Ping was immediately excited by the old marquis at that time: "If it weren't for Fourth Brother Bai fighting, I would definitely be able to beat Zhao Wanzhu to the ground." Wan Ping still remembers that day that grandfather still sighed why Bai Qingchen was not the son of Dingyuan Marquis, he had good martial arts, he was upright and not pedantic, but unfortunately his father chose the path of business, which would inevitably affect his future development.
Wan Ping thought to herself, since Cuiwei Mountain's tour of the lake is Bai Yiyan's big event, she will accompany her even if she goes under the knife, not to mention that Zhao Wanyao can't beat her, she should be the only one who is afraid of herself, why should she avoid her? Thinking like this, her face turned from gloomy to sunny again.
The three girls had a great day together. It was agreed that I would see you in Cuiwei Mountain in three days.
