Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Scheme Is Underway
Yu Shulan, who was standing next to Xuan Yuchen, just greeted the guests beside her, pulled Xuan Yuchen's arm and was about to change places to continue to say hello, but found that the people around her couldn't be dragged anymore, and she couldn't help but look at Xuan Yuchen sideways, but saw that Xuan Yuchen actually looked at Nian Ying and lost her mind, this discovery made her already uncomfortable heart sink even more.
This indescribable mood made Yu Shulan, who has always been good at disguise, feel like she had swallowed tens of thousands of pairs of bitter medicine, she couldn't spit it out or swallow it, and she was stuck in her throat and bitter and unbearable.
With all kinds of unwillingness and heart-piercing jealousy, Yu Shulan forced back the wetness in her eyes, evoked a smile that she used well, pulled the arms of the people around her, and deliberately poured oil on the fire in Xuan Yuchen's ears, "The second miss of the Nian family is really a beauty, the so-called natural beauty is difficult to give up, that's what she said." ”
The voice of admiration in his ears that spoke his heart made Xuan Yuchen come back to his senses, and he lowered his head sideways to look at Yu Shulan beside him, evoking a smile of unknown meaning, "It's rare to hear Lan'er praise her so much, could it be that Lan'er really wants to become this king?" From the beginning to the end, he didn't think that too Shulan would really help him get Nian Yingxi, but now it seems that Yu Shulan is really serious this time.
"Where did the prince say this?" Yu Shulan pretended to be surprised and pretended to be unhappy, "Although the concubine is not talented, she is still familiar with the female scripture, and besides, it is rare for the prince to have such a favorite person, and the concubine will naturally not interfere with it." ”
Xuan Yuchen no longer spoke, but stared at Yu Shulan's face with his eagle-like eyes, and the sharp and dialytic gaze was fixed on Shulan's face, as if he wanted to see her through.
Yu Shulan was uncomfortable stared at by this unclear gaze, but for her own planning, she forced herself to suppress the weakness in her heart while responding to Xuan Yuchen's scrutiny with a smile.
"The prince of Pinghu arrives in ——!" With a shout from the arch of the back garden, the eyes that Xuan Yuchen was staring at Yu Shulan's face instantly shifted to the arch.
Yu Shulan, who was freed, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the prince of Pinghu came in time, otherwise if he kept an eye on Xuan Yuchen again, he was sure that there would be any mistakes.
Nian Yingxi, who was standing by the lake, naturally heard the shout from the arch of the back garden, turned around and looked at the arch, and sure enough, she saw Xuan Yuehuai, who was dressed in a lake-blue robe, and walked in with an extraordinary demeanor.
Xuan Yuehuai, who was talking to Xuan Yuchen and his wife, looked in the direction of the lake with some feeling, and when his eyes collided with Nian Yingxi's line of sight, he took advantage of the gap to secretly blink his eyes at her slyly, and then withdrew his gaze and continued to say something with a smile with Xuan Yuchen in front of him.
Thinking back to Xuan Yuehuai's mouth shape that had just 'answered', Nian Yingxi almost wanted to stroke her forehead with a headache, she really missed a thousand calculations, he was the one who came to answer with her......
After almost half a pillar of incense, Yu Shulan, who was standing among the guests, saw that the dishes were almost all ready, so she quietly reached out and pulled Xuan Yuchen's sleeve.
Xuan Yuchen willingly took Xuan Yuehuai into the pavilion and sat down, while Yu Shulan walked in the direction of Nian Yingxi by the lake.
Li Pei, who was the first to see Yu Shulan coming, saluted Nian Yingxi first, "It looks like it's going to be a banquet, so let Li Pei go back to his seat first." ”
Nian Yingxi, who also heard the footsteps behind her, smiled faintly, "Li Gongzi walks slowly." ”
Li Pei nodded, endured the friendship in his heart, and looked at Nian Yingxi for a long time, and suddenly said, "Take care." Then he turned and walked towards the table on the other side.
As soon as Li Pei left, Yu Shulan stopped by Nian Yingxi's side, "Did you keep Miss Nian Er waiting for a long time?" As he spoke, he put his arm around Nian Yingxi, very cordial and familiar, "The dishes have been served, and I invite Miss Nian Er to go to the pavilion with me." ”
Nian Yingxi nodded, and walked towards the pavilion as Yu Shulan and Li Pei went against each other.
Feeling that the person behind him was no longer there, Li Pei couldn't help but stop and look back, he knew better than anyone else that since Nian Yingxi had been established, he would definitely enter the palace to be canonized soon, so this time his farewell to her may become a farewell in this life......
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Yu Shulan, who had turned around and spat at the mouth viciously, she really couldn't understand what was so good about Nian Yingxi, why she could win the favor of so many excellent men!
But soon, Yu Shulan laughed from the bottom of her heart, because she knew that it wouldn't be long before Nian Yingxi would soon become a prisoner who was calculated by herself, and when Nian Yingxi even lost her virginity and was oppressed by Xuan Yuchen every day, she wanted to see what kind of regretful and contemptuous faces these men who were so infatuated with Nian Yingxi now.
"What did Princess Sinan think? Laughing so happily? Nian Yingxi, who had long seen Yu Shulan's calculating smile, deliberately interrupted when Shulan's smile was the deepest.
Yu Shulan, who was immersed in self-satisfaction, was startled by Nian Yingxi's words, and shook her head with a weak smile towards Nian Yingxi, but took the steps under her feet as flat ground, and suddenly even leaned forward and planted towards the ground.
'Bang', the stone steps of the pavilion set off a burst of floating ash, and when the floating ash dispersed, everyone inside and outside the pavilion stared in surprise but no one dared to make a sound.
Joke! Princess Sinan, who has always been gentle and virtuous, fell into a dog and ate in front of everyone, especially in front of Prince Sinan, at this time, whoever laughs first will die first!
Xuan Yuehuai in the pavilion looked at Yu Shulan with smiling eyes, but Nian Yingxi who was standing beside Yu Shulan, he didn't believe that Yu Shulan would fall down properly.
Nian Yingxi looked at Xuan Yuehuai's gaze, first shrugged helplessly, and then looked at Yu Shulan, who was facing the earth with her back to the sky, not feeling funny in her heart, but more frightened, what she did just now was really to scare Yu Shulan, and wanted to see how weak Yu Shulan was, but she didn't expect that Yu Shulan was so weak that she forgot to look at the road under her feet.
Who said that as big as conspiracies and lies are, as big as the weakness of the heart? Looking at Yu Shulan lying on the ground again, Nian Yingxi couldn't help but cheer up in her heart, it seems that she really entered a Hongmen banquet tonight.
In the silence, a gloomy voice erupted from the gazebo, "Are they all dead?" Don't come and help the princess up! Xuan Yuchen, who spoke, looked at the pavilion with sharp eyes, the little maids and maids who were waiting in the back garden.
Listening to Xuan Yuchen's unkind tone, not only did the maids and servants flock into the pavilion in fright, but also many dignitaries and dignitaries who wanted to tie up with Xuan Yuchen crowded under the pavilion and continued to help Yu Shulan out of the siege.
"Princess Sinan is okay? I really don't know how these people are doing their work, it must have been too smooth on the ground, which caused Princess Sinan to be unstable under her feet. ”
"It's just that the work of these current people is really unreassuring."
Yu Shulan, who was lying on the ground, had a flushed face, and some of the cracks in the ground were eager to get in and never come out, she had never been so embarrassed as she was today since she was born, and when she saw the pair of tiny feet beside her, Yu Shulan gritted her teeth and hated that it must be Nian Yingxi who was making a ghost from it, otherwise why would she fall down if she was so good?
Sensing that the maid's arm had been supported on her body, Yu Shulan resigned herself to her fate and got up at the same time, she couldn't help but put on a tactful and subtle smile, she kept telling herself that she must hold on, even if it is not for her future face, but also for today's own plan, in short, as long as she can pull Nian Yingxi into the water, she will have to get up even if she falls again!
"It's worrying everyone." Facing the gaze of everyone on herself, Yu Shulan naturally appeared on the surface, "I just cared about letting my subordinates clean the back garden, but I forgot that I should sprinkle some floating ash on this stone step." ”
When the guests gathered outside the pavilion heard this, they all nodded in agreement, and they gradually left the pavilion and sat down again, no one said that at the moment when Yu Shulan fell to the ground just now, the powder foam that drifted around was floating ash.
"Scared Miss Nian, right?" Yu Shulan said, took Nian Yingxi's hand again, led Nian Yingxi to the position between Xuan Yuchen and Xuan Yuehuai, and turned to look at Xuan Yuchen tentatively.
Although Xuan Yuchen had the intention to let Yu Shulan leave the banquet, he saw that Yu Shulan's reaction just now was quite witty, and it also dissipated a lot of anger, and now he saw that the guests had just stabilized, and he was afraid that he would let Yu Shulan retreat and cause criticism, so after thinking for a while, he finally nodded to Yu Shulan, signaling that Yu Shulan could sit beside him.
What do you think is that Shulan just sat on the stone bench, and whispering voices came from the guests outside the pavilion again, this time these voices were not aimed at Yu Shulan, but pointed to Nian Yingxi, because the guests present were all suspicious, what kind of identity Nian Yingxi was, and she could sit in the middle of the two princes.
"Who the hell is this woman? Can you sit in the middle of the two princes with such an identity? ”
"Look at this woman's face, she doesn't look like we are from Xuanguo! Could it be the ...... of the prince of Pinghu? ”
"Go, go, don't talk nonsense, if that's the case, why don't you come with the prince of Pinghu? Even if she is the future princess of Pinghu, she will sit beside the prince of Pinghu, not in the middle of the two princes! ”
"Then is she the new ...... of Prince Sinan? Side concubine? ”
Yu Shulan, who was sitting next to Xuan Yuchen, did not get up to explain Nian Yingxi's identity, on the contrary, in her heart, she wished that these people could talk about it louder, only in this way could Xuan Yuchen feel that Nian Yingxi was good, and that Xuan Yuchen would be more obsessed with Nian Yingxi, and as long as Xuan Yuchen was enchanted with possession, then don't say that there is a Qianqian guarding the courtyard in the courtyard, presumably there are tens of millions of guards, and Xuan Yuchen will definitely help him drug Nian Yingxi.
This is why she held such a grudge from the beginning, but she kept praising Nian Yingxi with a smile on her face!
