Duan Rubian stared at the letter twice, slightly surprised, "He is already so sure that he can take the throne?"

Duan Rubian's focus was obviously not on the same level as Rong Qi, and he noticed that the arm around his waist tightened slightly, Duan Rubian snickered in a low voice, "It's just a letter, do you have to care about it so much?" ”

The minister who sent her the letter last time didn't approve of Yeluji's dealings with her, first, Duan Rubian had no intention of Yeluji, and secondly, in the hostile country between the two, Duan Rubian didn't know whether Rong Qi's vinegar was worth it, and he smiled vigorously, his beautiful Danfeng eyes narrowed into a slit, and his long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly.

After all, Rong Qixiao was annoyed, pouting at her lips for a long time before letting go, in short, when Duan Rujian was able to breathe normally, his face was already flushed, and he glared at him a few times angrily, watching him come forward with a satisfied smile, and his tone was indescribably charming, "Looking at me like this, do you want to do it again?"

Duan Rufang choked, his little face was flushed by his teasing, his eyes were wet and staring at him, his cheeks were slightly bulging, like a sullen little squirrel, cute and tight.

Rong Qi leaned forward and pinched her face, smiling presumptuously, Duan Rubian was also annoyed by his laughter, and somehow the anger gnawed on his lips, biting his lower lip, and then quickly rushed out of his arms, with indescribable pride on his slightly red face, and turned back to the inner room.

Rong Qi was still sitting on the soft couch, thinking of her actions, she raised her hand and wiped her lower lip, bringing out a trace of blood, her lips were slightly raised, and she pulled out a doting and helpless chuckle, and got up leisurely and followed Duan Rubian into the inner room, and the two were entangled for a long time, until it was dusk, Rong Qi returned to the palace.

......

In King Rong's mansion, as soon as Rong Qi returned to the house, someone handed over a white invitation, and he could smell the faint fragrance of magnolia flowers on the invitation, looking at the pattern on the invitation, it seemed to be a woman's gift.

Rong Qi twisted his eyebrows slightly, put one foot on the soft couch, raised his knotted hand lightly, and said coldly: "Throw it out." ”

The man who handed over the invitation was slightly stunned, and immediately turned around and walked out, ready to deal with the invitation, just when Su Jinyu and Feng Changqing suddenly appeared, Su Jinyu played a peach blossom fan, with a romantic smile on his face, and stepped forward, "Dumb slave, are you in such a hurry that your master has ordered you to do something big?"

The man named Dumb Slave knelt down on one knee, saluted Shu Jinyu and Feng Changqing, and then handed over the invitation card in his hand, these two are friends of the master, so the Dumb Slave will not scruple.

Su Jinyu put away the peach blossom fan, took the invitation, and before she opened it, she smelled the faint fragrance of magnolia flowers on the invitation, and there was a touch of suspicion in her eyes, "In this huge capital, there are still people who like magnolia flowers as much as Rong Qi......'s house?" It seems that she is still a woman, and the invitation she handed ......" Shu Jinyu said, and opened the invitation.

The invitation is a standard plum blossom seal, very beautiful, enough to see that the woman's calligraphy and painting skills are profound, the whole text is very brief, only a few short sentences, probably to invite Rong Qi to participate in the banquet held in the Prime Minister's Mansion ten days later to welcome the second miss of the Shui family Shui Xiuying, the place of payment happens to be the name of the second miss of the Shui family!

Feng Changqing raised his eyebrows, and his white clothes made him feel a bit fairy, "Look at this posture, Rong Qi is being targeted by this Shui Xiuying." ”

If it was a simple banquet, how could Shui Xiuying write the invitation in person, and besides, there were dozens of invitations, and it was impossible for the invitations to be written by the second lady Shui, so at first glance, it was clear that the drunkard did not mean to drink.

"Tut-tut. Su Jinyu handed the invitation back to the dumb slave, opened the peach blossom fan and shook his head with emotion, "Lan Yan Woe Water, Lan Yan Wo Shui, Phoenix Fox, why don't you have such good luck, if Ye is entrusted to become a prince or something, are there many beauties running into Ye Ye's arms." ”

Feng Changqing glanced at Su Jinyu with disdain, didn't bother to pay attention to his daydreams, and glanced at the dumb slave, "But your master wants you to dispose of this letter?"

The mute nodded.

Shu Jinyu smiled knowingly, "Naturally, we have to deal with it, everyone has Miss Duan San, our boss is not a person who thinks differently." ”

Feng Changqing nodded, motioned for the dumb slave to get up, and followed Shu Jinyu into the house.

......

Prime Minister's Office

Shui Xiuying sat in front of the window of the boudoir, staring at the magnolia tree planted in the yard, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, Bai Yu walked in, brought a pot of tea and put it in front of Shui Xiuying, "Miss, drink tea." ”

"How's the matter I want you to investigate?" Shui Xiuying took the teacup handed by Bai Yu and asked coldly.

Bai Yu's body trembled, he took a deep breath, and seemed to have mustered up the courage to speak, "Miss, don't think about it, the slave maid inquired that Rong Qizi has already been engaged! Moreover, Rong Qizi and the woman he likes once played the phoenix courtship at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, which is a well-known thing!"

As soon as Bai Yu's words fell, the teacup in Shui Xiuying's hand fell to the ground and fell to pieces, and a touch of surprise and grief crossed her white face, "You say...... What are you talking about! Rong Qizi is already engaged! How is this possible! Which family is it that is married to him!" Shui Xiuying's expression was hideous for a moment, and then changed back to its original state in a moment, and Bai Yu thought that he was dazzled.

"It's Duan Rufang, the third lady of Duan Mansion, I don't know where the good fortune of this third lady came from, she actually won the emperor's appreciation, her fifth sister Duan Rubi is now the most favored concubine in the palace, and she was named the lord of Dunhe County, and she was given the seventh son of Rong Wangfu for a while. Bai Yu was happy when he said it, and he didn't see Shui Xiuying's gloomy face at all

"But Miss, according to the slave maid, this Rong Qi Shizi is an embroidered pillow, not worthy of Miss you at all, Miss you know, now in the entire capital, it is Miss You and Duan Ruhua, the eldest lady of the Duan Mansion, are the most famous, but the slave maid seems, where can the eldest lady compare to you, you will definitely be able to marry very well, not to mention a small prince, even if it is a prince, it is ......."

"That's enough!" Before Bai Yi finished speaking, Shui Xiuying couldn't help but flipped over the things on the table in front of her, crackling and shattering to the ground, Bai Yu's face turned pale, and she immediately knelt down, "Miss, the slave and maid know the mistake, the slave and the maid should not say so much, the slave and the maid should not make a mistake, the slave and the maid know the mistake, the slave and the maid know the mistake!" Bai Yu kowtowed vigorously.

Shui Xiuying stood up from her position suddenly, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "You get up, call someone to prepare a carriage, I want to go to General Duan's Mansion!"

......

When Shui Xiuying's carriage first arrived at Duan's mansion, Duan Linxiu was still handling official business, and when he heard that the second lady of the Shui family was visiting, he was stunned for a moment, and after learning the identity of this person, he immediately sent someone to pick him up.

Duan Ruhua got Duan Linxiu's order to pick up Shui Xiuying, Duan Ruhua is the first beauty in Beijing, and her current reputation has been divided by Duan Ruying, but her beauty is not comparable to Shui Xiuying.

Shui Xiuying is not a very beautiful person, saying that she is giving face to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Duan Ruhua did not take this sick Miss Shui Er in his eyes at all.

Shui Xiuying didn't care about Duan Ruhua's beauty, stared at Duan Ruhua for a moment, and made a small salute, "Shui Xiuying has seen Sister Duan, Sister Duan has a blessed face, and she will definitely be rich and noble in the future!"

Duan Ruhua raised her eyebrows, looked at Shui Xiuying with some surprise, covered her lips and smiled, "Sister Shui is really good at talking, I don't know what Sister Xiuying came to Duan Mansion for?"

Shui Xiuying lowered her head, with a smile on her lips, but there was a gloomy color in her eyes, "Xiuying heard about Miss Duan San's name in Qingyun Peak, and she was curious to visit, and she didn't know if it was inconvenient to ......."

I came to find Duan Rufang.

Duan Ruhua smiled knowingly, found a maid and instructed her to lead Shui Xiuying to Duan Ruying's Loulan Pavilion.

"Ruhua still has something to do, so she won't accompany Miss Shuier. Duan Ruhua said with a smile.

Shui Xiuying didn't care, she followed the maid's steps when she passed her, but when she passed by Duan Ruhua's side, her steps paused slightly, and she lowered her voice and said with a smile: "Sister Duan, Sister Duan's face is like a phoenix, and it is possible to have the possibility of motherhood in the world, if you can assist the five princes, you will be rich and noble in the near future!"

Duan Ruhua's eyes flickered for three minutes, staring at Shui Xiuying's back until she disappeared from sight.

"The Fifth Prince......" Duan Ruhua thought about it, and then laughed again, strange, how could she believe her words so easily, is it true that she has been thinking too much recently, and she actually thinks that the woman is very weird, but weirdness is also a good thing, seeing that she seems to have a holiday with Duan Rufang, it is very good.

When Shui Xiuying came to Loulan Pavilion, Duan Rubian had just gotten up from a nap and was still freshening up, and she was slightly surprised when she heard that the second lady of the Shui family came to visit.

Qinghe also frowned, and when the maid went out to lead people, she said, "Miss, you said that we have nothing to do with the second miss of the Shui family, why did she come to visit you?"

Duan Rubian also felt that this matter was quite strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and smiled indifferently, "Who knows, just look at it." ”

Duan Rubian casually tied his hair in a bun, put on a thin shirt and went to the main hall.

Shui Xiuying drank the tea handed by the maid, her face was serious, but her eyes seemed to glance in the direction of the cabinet, and she skillfully covered the murderous aura in her eyes with gentleness.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps from behind the curtain in front of the cabinet, Shui Xiuying put down the teacup and looked over, her eyes were a little deeper.

The person who came was tall, born like a beautiful flower, and the beautiful Danfeng eyes were gently raised, with an indescribable style, there is no doubt that such a woman is very annoying, and it is no wonder that Rong Qi will be fascinated by her.

Duan Rubian was keenly aware of the fierceness that flashed in Shui Xiuying's eyes when she saw her, and she was also wary in her heart, and strolled to meet her.

"Miss Shuier, I don't know why I came to Loulan Pavilion today?"
