Chapter 174: Incense in the Snow

Today's plum banquet is not the same as before, there are no male guests, and all the women invited are from high-ranking families. Xue Su held the stove in her hand, feeling the gusts of cold wind blowing on her face, she reached out and closed the placket tighter, and couldn't help but feel excited.

When she was brought to the hall, she saw at a glance the middle-aged beautiful woman sitting on the main seat, with a luxurious aura around her body, who else could she be if she wasn't the eldest princess she had seen before?

The earth dragon was burned in the house, which made Xue Su's cold fingertips gradually warm up, she looked around and found that there were a few acquaintances sitting opposite, it was Princess Jinyue and Tan Yuanqing, who was the fifth princess.

Some time ago, Mrs. Tan lost her ugliness and felt shameless, so she never appeared at the banquet held by a big family, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the extremely gorgeous woman sat next to Mrs. Wu, since she used jasper paste in the paddock, Mrs. Wu has become a frequent visitor to Yan Ruyu, even if a Suxin Hall is opened opposite, she is still unmoved.

Holding a tea cup in her hand, she said softly, "I heard that the reason why the eldest princess held this plum banquet is to show her only son a daughter-in-law. ”

The eldest princess died of her husband a few years ago, and has been widowed until now, with only one son under her knees, Hong Yucheng, who is rumored to be quite talented and famous, and is repairing books in the history museum.

"Just look at each other, anyway, it has nothing to do with us, my family Liansheng has already made a marriage." As he spoke, Xue Su smiled slightly, picking a little on his red lips, and matching his eyes as bright as stars, like a delicate rose stained with dew, which looked very dazzling in the ice and snow.

Looking at the flamboyant woman, Jinyue clenched her fists tightly, and her face was a little ugly, but fortunately, she still remembered that this was the eldest princess's mansion, and she was not rude in front of the elders.

Even if there was an unpleasant incident before, but Jinyue is the daughter of the imperial concubine and the sister of the fifth prince, Tan Yuanqing naturally can't care about her.

Pulling the woman's cold fingertips, she swept over the face sitting on the side, and asked in a low voice, "Princess, who is this?" ”

"The imperial sister-in-law doesn't know, this is the owner of Suxintang, a doctor and a doctor."

Jinyue is also the princess, and she has long known the purpose of the plum banquet, and the reason why she brought Xurong here is to completely trample Xue Su under her feet and make the vulgar village woman lose face.

Su Xintang's reputation in the capital is not small, this beautiful medical woman not only got His Majesty's inscription, but also let countless dignitaries and dignitaries enter and leave the medical hall, this ability is really staggering.

"It turned out to be a girl with a warm face, who has admired her name for a long time."

Tan Yuanqing smiled slightly, she already had a beautiful appearance like a fairy, and she married the fifth prince as her wife, and her attitude was so kind, which made Xurong flattered.

Even if it is to choose a daughter-in-law, in order to protect the reputation of her daughter's family, the eldest princess can't do it too obviously. Seeing that the female guest was almost there, she stretched out her hand and was supported by the maid and walked towards the plum garden.

Xue Su took Liansheng's hand, stepped on a thin layer of snow, walked for a few breaths, and before she could reach the plum garden, the little girl suddenly covered her stomach, her delicate little face showed a look of pain, and she cried out mournfully, "Auntie, I feel very uncomfortable and want to change clothes." ”

Although it is not proper to go to the toilet in other people's houses, no one can let urine suffocate to death, and she did not blame Liansheng, so she called a maid and led them to the direction of the clean room.

When Liansheng was changing clothes, Xue Su sat in the wing room next door, and when the little girl came out, she looked at the goose-yellow jacket she was wearing on her body, and the woman raised her eyebrows slightly.

Since the peach wood bead was integrated into the body, Xue Su's sense of smell is much more sensitive than ordinary people, Liansheng doesn't like fat powder, and the clothes brought from the Fuguo Marquis Mansion will not be specially incense, why is she stained with the smell of fat powder at this time?

Seeing that her aunt's face was wrong, the little girl couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and asked timidly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiuqi's brows furrowed slightly, Xue Su turned his head to look at Qiu Ju, and asked, "When you came over with this set of clothes, could you smell the smell of fat powder?" ”

Qiu Ju's face was full of doubts, and she shook her head and said, "How is it possible?" Miss Liansheng can't smell the aroma of fat powder, and everyone in the mansion knows it, how can she make such a mistake? ”

Hearing this, the woman's moist eyes revealed a little chill, she walked around the little girl a few times, and suddenly reached out to grope her carefully, Liansheng was a little afraid of itching, and giggled, "Auntie, let go quickly, it's itchy!" ”

Xue Su didn't say anything, she searched for a long time, and finally found a hard object in the hood of the brocade cloak, and she said in a low voice, "Don't move yet." ”

The woman stood on tiptoe and took out the contents of her hood, revealing that it was actually a purse. This purse is really exquisite, using the best Shu brocade, embroidered with gold thread to embroider the phoenix pattern, it is really amazing.

When the purse was opened, a piece of jade pendant slightly larger than a chicken was placed in it, with a phoenix pattern carved on it, and the whole body was viscous and blood-like red, without any impurities.

Xue Su loves jade jewelry, and went to a jewelry shop before, when he heard the boss introduce that the most precious jade pendant in the Dayu Dynasty was the blood phoenix placed in the eldest princess's mansion. This jade is produced in Hetian, which should be a rare mutton fat jade, but I don't know why, it actually accumulated blood, which is both strange and rare.

At this moment, this blood phoenix is hidden in Liansheng's hood, someone must be framing it, otherwise how can there be such a coincidence in the world, the little girl did not have a stomach at home, but came to the princess's mansion to have a seizure.

Seeing this jade pendant, Lian Sheng and Qiu Ju were silent together, they stayed in the Hou Mansion all the year round, and they could be regarded as having seen the world and opened their eyes, so they could naturally see how precious this piece of blood phoenix was.

"Auntie, whose is this jade pendant? What are we going to do? Obviously, there were still snowflakes floating in the air, but because she was too anxious, the little girl's forehead oozed fine sweat, and her lips also faded blood.

"Come and don't be rude, someone wants to frame us, if we don't return the color, I'm afraid everyone thinks that the Auxiliary Marquis Mansion is weak and can be bullied." When he said this, Xue Su had a faint evil aura on his body, although it was not obvious, but it made people feel a little frightened.

Tearing off the jade pendant around his waist, putting it in his purse, and then putting it in Liansheng's hood, Xue Su smiled slightly, wrapped the blood phoenix tightly with a handkerchief, and walked forward in his arms.

"Auntie, it's a little inappropriate to wear this jade on your body." Liansheng asked tentatively.

Xue Su smiled silently, the little girl wanted to say something, but after seeing the oncoming maid, she had no other choice but to shut up.

Led by the maid to the plum garden, Xue Su took advantage of the ignorance of the people, and put the blood phoenix wrapped in the silk handkerchief on the branch of the plum tree, which was full of snow, and the color of the silk handkerchief was light, and it was really impossible to distinguish it at first glance.

Qiu Ju and Lian Sheng noticed the woman's movements, and their faces couldn't help but be a little stiff.

Those noble ladies and ladies were already sitting in the pavilion at the moment, and when Xue Su arrived, Jinyue's eyes fell on the woman, her eyes flashed maliciously, and she secretly thought in her heart: Xue Su, no matter how many skills you have this time, you can't wash away your notoriety!

Xue Su sat next to Mrs. Wu, and this position happened to be able to see the plum tree a zhang away, whether it was a maid or a servant, they did not approach that place, and no one would find it.

Gently rubbing the pattern on the stove with his fingertips, he saw a maid wearing a blue jacket rushing to the pavilion quickly, kneeling down in front of the eldest princess with a plop, tears and snot on her face, and she couldn't stop kowtowing and said, "Princess, the blood phoenix pendant has been stolen!" ”

Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed on the eldest princess's smug face, the treasure given to her by the first emperor of the blood phoenix was handed over to her on the day of marriage, and she had accompanied the eldest princess for more than 20 years, and the importance can be imagined.

Seeing her aunt's distorted face, a trace of pride crossed Jinyue's eyes, and Zhengse asked, "You maid is really sharp-toothed, you derelict your duties and lost the blood phoenix pendant, and you actually shirked it to the thief, how can there be such a reason?" ”

The maid kowtowed, and the blood at the corner of her forehead merged into a small stream, dripping down.

"I hope that the princess Mingjian, even if she borrows a hundred more guts, the slave and maid will not dare to lie! The slave maid had abdominal pain, so she went to the clean room, but in a blink of an eye, there were a few more footprints outside the house, and the slave and maid were very distracted, and then went inside to check, only to find that the blood phoenix was stolen......"

Today, the identity of the female guest from the eldest princess's mansion is not low, and the theft of the treasure was found out in this stall, which made people panic, and no one appreciated the plum for a while, so they lowered their heads and showed a look of thought.

The eldest princess clenched her fists with both hands, and her heart was full of fire, the blood phoenix was extremely precious, and the theft was a big deal, if it wasn't investigated, everyone who came to the mansion would be suspicious, and everyone would be offended at that time, how should this be?

The maid who was serving tea in the pavilion seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised her hand to point at Liansheng, and shouted sharply, "Princess, this young lady once went to the clean room, and the slave maid was not good at disturbing her to change her clothes, so she has been guarding outside the courtyard. ”

Xue Su squinted, put the hand stove on the stone table, and said coldly, "You have to talk about your conscience when you talk and do things, just now I was by Liansheng's side and never left, it is impossible for her to steal the blood phoenix." ”

"This is a bad statement, who doesn't know that Miss Liansheng is Mrs. Chu's niece, in this world, there are people who don't help their relatives, and I'm afraid what you say is not accurate." Tan Yuanqing smiled lightly and his voice was clear.

Seeing that all the ladies were focusing on themselves, Liansheng suddenly blessed her heart, and twisted it on the root of her thigh without a trace, and the tears of bean size rolled down her cheeks, and she choked up, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I hope you will be aware that the folk girl really hasn't touched the blood phoenix, and I don't know what's going on, I just drank tea in the main hall, and my lower abdomen cramped badly, so I was rude to go to the clean room to change clothes......

No matter how pitiful Liansheng cried, those who doubted her would not change their minds. At this moment, the eldest princess looked at her with scrutinizing eyes, thinking about what to do.
