Mingxi stared at Xue Hainiang's smiling side face, with a hint of apprehension.

Miss's words are equivalent to an indirect admission that she is the mastermind behind the scenes, forcing the Xu family to embark on the road of no return.

If it is only for her own selfish interests, how vicious and cruel it is, but everything that Miss planned was just to give Mrs. a backhouse that had no quarrel with the world.

Madame is cowardly and incompetent, she is just afraid that she will enter the palace in the future, and Madame will have no place in this back house.

For a while, Mingxi didn't know how to refute.

"Tomorrow, when you go to Liang's mansion, be sure to see Miss Liang Bairou, and tell her that tomorrow you invite her to come to the mansion for a gathering, and I will catch up with her. ”

In a trance, Xue Hainiang had already given an order lightly.

Mingxi bowed his head slightly, "Yes." ”

"It's getting late, let's go back. Xue Hainiang didn't seem to be planning to explain too much, but when she saw Mingxi's face with a sudden look, she stepped forward and wanted to leave.

Mingxi lowered his head and silently walked to the master with a lantern, escorting her all the way.

——

The next day, Xue Hainiang got up early in the morning and went to Tanyuan Chen Province and stayed in Furong Yuan without leaving half a step, while Mingxi was sent to Liangfu to deliver the letter, and when Mingxi returned from sending the letter, Xue Hainiang was already holding an ancient book and leaning on the chaise longue to take a nap.

Rao is Mingxi's steps were light, but he also woke up the sleeping Xue Hainiang, Xue Hainiang rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes, stretched out her fingers and rubbed her forehead.

"How?" Xue Hainiang raised her eyes and glanced at her, then closed her eyes again.

Mingxi owed a debt and respectfully reported: "The slave has gone to the Liang Mansion to deliver a message according to what you said, and invited Miss Liang Bairou to gather at the Xue Mansion at the right time." ”

"Well, if you have time later, take out the snow satin that I told you to collect some time ago, and I will use it later. Xue Hainiang seemed to suddenly remember something, and said slowly after thinking about it for a moment or two.

Mingxi was stunned for a moment, and then grinned, "The slave maid said a long time ago, the young lady's skin is like condensed fat, beautiful and refined, on the day of the palace draft, if it is matched with that snow satin, it must be the posture of heaven and man, and the crown is beautiful." ”

Xue Hainiang was stunned for a moment, and only after a trance did she realize that this girl actually thought that she ordered her to take out the snow satin, and she intended to go on the day of the draft......

"As far as it is appropriate, there is one person who can wear that snow satin better than I am. Xue Hainiang smiled meaningfully.

The hour passed slowly between the laughter of the master and servant, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to settle with Liang Bairou.

When Xue Hainiang instructed Mingxi to carry the message, she pointed out that the place where the two of them recounted was Furong Garden*.

At this time, the snow on the ground in the backyard has been swept away by the rough girl, and the four corners of the courtyard are planted with red plums blooming in the wind, and the flowers are delicate.

The carved circle of black nan wood has been shelved in a corner of the courtyard, and when Liang Bairou and the maid were late, Xue Hainiang was leaning on the chaise longue and drinking tea.

"Hai Niang, forgive me, I'm late. "Liang Bairou is dressed in snow satin as usual, and is covered with a snow fox fur, with a beautiful jade face and a light touch.

Xue Hainiang got up and gave a salute, and smiled faintly, "It's just a reminiscence between sisters, but Hainiang has set the time and place, I'm afraid it's rude." ”

Liang Bairou shook her head lightly, stroking Hai Niang's pair of slender hands and sitting down.

"You and I need to enter the palace in three days, I have been busy in the past few days, learning palace rules and etiquette, and adding clothes and dressing up, but it is you, I am so uncomfortable drinking tea in the courtyard. Liang Bairou rubbed the back of Xue Hainiang's hand with a look of envy.

Xue Hainiang smiled slyly and teased: "My sister can also sit on a stool and drink tea leisurely like Hai Niang, but my sister is thinking about the people in the palace......"

Liang Bairou originally intended to ridicule, but unexpectedly Xue Hainiang fought back, she lowered her head and pretended to be ashamed, and said indignantly: "You took a lot of trouble to invite me, just to make fun of me?"

Xue Hainiang grinned, and the pear vortex was lightly sunk, but it added a bit of playful aura to it, "A few days ago, my mother found a batch of snow satin from nowhere, I saw that it was really lining you, so I wanted to call you, one to catch up on the old and the other to see how this snow satin is." ”

After saying that, Xue Hainiang raised her hand, and Mingxi behind her was busy with her head, and walked quickly into the inner room to get the snow satin.

Xue Hainiang spread out the snow satin in front of Liang Bairou's eyes.

"It's really an excellent material...... just a glance, Liang Bairou couldn't put it down, stretched out her hand to caress it, and felt that the touch was excellent.

"Since Sister Liang likes it, then this snow satin will be given to Sister Liang, Hai Niang is convinced that with Sister Liang's heavenly posture, if she changes to this snow satin, she will definitely be able to capture the heart of the saint on the day of the draft. Xue Hainiang put the snow satin on the round table, smiling like a flower.

Liang Bairou was slightly stunned, although she was still caressing the snow satin and never let go, but her eyes moved from the snow satin to Xue Hainiang's face, she smiled gently, her eyes were confused, "The day after tomorrow is the draft, if Hai Niang can change into this snow satin, it will be glamorous...... "She lowered her eyelids slightly, paused and said: "I have a shallow appearance and a low status, so I really don't need such good clothes." ”

Xue Hainiang raised her lips and smiled, covered her cold fingers, and comforted softly: "If my sister still claims to be shallow, how can there be a beauty in this world." My sister listened to me, and when she went back, she made this snow satin into clothes, and on the day of the draft, she would definitely be able to overwhelm the crowd and win the favor of the saints. She paused, lowered her eyes and smiled again, "Hai Niang is counting on my sister to cover me in the future...... If I don't make it on the day of the draft, I hope my sister can take me by her side. ”

Since the founding of the country, the Great Southern Kingdom has established such a rule, and all those who enter the palace draft, regardless of whether they are concubines or not, must stay in the palace.

Therefore, if the woman who is running for the election fails to be elected as a palace concubine, she can only stay in the palace and be regarded as a maid or female official, and she will never come out!

Liang Bairou's face turned white, and he was busy covering Xue Hainiang's mouth, his eyes were full of anger, "If you say such an unlucky thing, believe me, you and my sisters will definitely be selected, and I will have to rely on Hainiang to carry me in the future." ”

Xue Hainiang smiled lightly, but she no longer argued with her, she knew that Liang Bairou was trying to appease. It's okay, anyway, she has already informed her intentions in the future, with her friendship with Liang Bairou, if she loses the election in the future, Liang Bairou will definitely not die or be saved.

After several persuasions from Xue Hainiang, Liang Bairou accepted the snow satin, and the two chatted again, until the sun went down, and Liang Bairou left in a hurry.

"Miss, the slave is confused, why did Miss insist on giving that snow satin to Miss Liang?" Mingxi stared at Liang Bairou's shadow walking away with puzzled eyes, and asked in a low voice.

Xue Hainiang leaned on the chaise longue, picked up the purple sand tea cup and sipped it lightly, and her clear and pleasant voice overflowed, "Today's emperor likes the dusty appearance of women dressed in white the most......"
