Chapter 164: Sowing Discord
It wasn't until midnight that Zhu Bihui woke up, Su Changle stayed by the bedside, and when he saw her wake up, he hurriedly helped her sit up and asked with concern.
"Sister Changle, my face, what's wrong with my face?" Zhu Bihui hurriedly asked after she woke up, "Bring the mirror, bring the mirror!"
"Sister Hui, calm down and listen to me. Su Changle comforted, "Your face is fine, it will be fine in two days, don't be nervous." ”
"How can it be okay, I'm bleeding, I've lost a lot of blood, am I disfigured?" Zhu Bihui grabbed Su Changle's arm excitedly, "Sister Changle, can you give me the mirror?"
Su Changle couldn't do anything, so he motioned for the maid to bring the mirror.
Zhu Bihui nervously took the bronze mirror, and looked at the figure inside, but there were a few terrible scars on the smooth skin like eggshells, and there was a scar on the jawline, as if a beautiful painting had been maliciously handed ink.
"Ah!" Zhu Bihui screamed, threw the bronze mirror far away, hugged her head and shouted, "This is not me!
"Sister Hui, Sister Hui!" Su Changle held Zhu Bihui's hand and comforted, "Don't get excited, the doctor said, your injuries are only temporary, the scars will disappear, and in time, you will regain your beauty." ”
"No!" Zhu Bihui covered her face, especially in front of Su Changle, wanting to hide all her ugliness, "Do you see, the woman in the mirror is no longer perfect, she is so ugly, so unsightly! Sister Changle, what should I do? What should I do?"
"You calm down first and listen to me. Su Changle said, "Just now you drank the tranquilizer and fell asleep, you didn't hear a lot of things, but we are sisters, I don't want to hide it from you, this matter may be related to Tang An." ”
"Fifth sister?" Zhu Bihui's face was full of puzzlement, "Why did she ruin my face?" Is it because of Zilin's fire, she blames me for not testifying to her and holds a grudge and wants to take revenge on me?"
"I'm afraid that's the reason. ”
"Since this matter is related to her, is she not punished at all for this matter? I will go to the old lady now, and I will ask for clarification. Zhu Bihui said and was about to get out of bed.
Su Changle stopped her, sighed and said: "This matter is not as simple as you think, first of all, she is a heavenly maiden, and she wants to punish her, unless it is Gong You Zhenren of Ziwei Palace who comes forward, or someone in the palace speaks." Besides, she was very clever in making moves on the hairpin flowers she gave you, and if this matter was investigated, wouldn't she be suspicious of the nobles in the palace? ”
"Then didn't I ruin this face for nothing?" Zhu Bihui roared unwillingly, "I'm going to fight with her." ”
"I just told you, she is the Heavenly Maiden of Ziwei Palace, and you will not be her opponent. Grandmother also spoke, this matter ends here, no more discussions, if you have to ask to understand, this matter will inevitably go to the palace, and I am afraid that it will not end well. She is a celestial maiden, with Ziwei Palace as her backing, what about you?" Su Changle sighed softly, "As a sister, I have to advise you that this matter is rotten in your stomach, don't mention it again, otherwise it will still be you in your hands." ”
"Am I going to suffer this sin in vain? What's the point of my life! I might as well die!" Zhu Bihui cried, "Even if I die, I won't let her go as a ghost!"
"What's the use of you dying or dying!" Su Changle said, "Cheer up! Your face is not completely hopeless, I will help you! It will also let you gain a firm foothold in the capital, and give you the opportunity to avenge today's disgrace!"
"If I can really get better, Sister Changle is my benefactor, and I will repay your kindness in the future. Zhu Bihui knelt on the bed and said.
Su Changle touched Zhu Bihui's face distressedly, and said: "Okay, you are frightened today, take a good rest first, don't catch a cold! Remember my words, today's things will rot in your stomach, keep your eyes on the clouds, and wait for the opportunity." ”
"Okay!" Zhu Bihui slowly calmed down under Su Changle's persuasion, and slowly lay down, "Su Cheng'an, a femme fatale-hearted slut, I won't let her have a good time!"
"Sleep!" Su Changle patted the quilt gently.
Zhu Bihui quickly fell asleep, and Su Changle instructed the maid to take care of her, and then left with her maidservant.
After returning to Qiyue Pavilion, Jinxiu replaced Su Changle with a wide coat and sighed: "It's a pity today, I didn't pull the fifth miss into the water." ”
"I never thought that Su Tang'an would be like today, my goal has always been Zhu Bihui, Jinxiu, you did a good job today. Su Changle said softly, "It's about to be the New Year, you go to the account room tomorrow to get twenty taels of silver, send it to your brother, and let him marry his daughter-in-law and use it." ”
"Slave, thank you, Miss, for your grace. Jinxiu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, then got up and asked, "But the slave maid doesn't understand, isn't the young lady on good terms with Miss Biao, why did you ruin her face?"
"You don't have to know about it. ”
"Yes!"
Su Changle sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, his skin was smooth without any flaws, and his facial features were perfect and just right, how could he be a supporting role for people with such a natural beauty?
Zhu Bihui actually wanted to seduce the King of Chu with her appearance, how could she let her have the slightest hope! From now on, she wanted Zhu Bihui to become a chess piece in her hand, a chess piece that she could handle.
She took off the hairpin and said, "You prepare, tomorrow I will go to Jingci Nunnery to see Orange Music." ”
"Yes. ”
On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the heavy snow that had been falling for many days stopped, and the sun shone through the clouds and hit the earth, warm and mellow.
The most lively thing on this day is that the princess of Keqin grassland came to the capital.
Compared with the envoys of Yuguo who came to the Great Zhou Dynasty earlier, the people of the capital were obviously more interested in this princess from the grassland and known for her beauty. On this day, they crowded the streets to see the appearance of this princess, and it was really as shocking as the rumors.
"Have you heard? This time this princess came to our Da Zhou to choose a concubine, I think our Da Zhou is also the most noble princes can be worthy of her, the crown prince already has a princess, so isn't it the second prince?"
"This is not necessarily! I have said it earlier, this time the princess chooses her own concubine, as long as it is an unmarried man, His Majesty will give it to him. Don't we have a few good-looking sons and brothers in Da Zhou? Maybe it's them! Let's just say that the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson family, I have seen him once from afar before, but he is really Pan An's reincarnation, I am afraid that even women will be jealous!"
"Definitely!" the other shook his head disapprovingly, "This time it was Gu Tingjun, the third prince of the Huainan Palace, who brought the princess of the grassland to the capital.
By the window of the restaurant, there were a few young ladies and gentlemen, and the conversation between the few people fell into their ears word for word.
The eldest grandson Qi sighed: "I really didn't expect that the fact that this grassland princess came to Da Zhou to choose a horse is actually known to everyone! But these people's vision is still good, and they know that my son and I are handsome to the point that women are jealous!"
"The princess picked a pony, I don't know if she wants to bring it back to the grassland, or if she stays in the capital?" asked the eldest grandson Huiqing curiously.
"Who knows!" said the eldest grandson, "it depends on the ability of the future colt!"
"Is that princess really as beautiful as the rumors?" Su Ju'an looked downstairs, several carriages passed slowly, the princess was in one of the cars, Gu Tingjun rode a horse and walked at the front of the team, and the streets on both sides were full of onlookers, squeezing forward with excited expressions.
"What's the matter, do you have a sense of crisis?" Eldest Sun Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I heard that Gu Tingjun may be taken back to the grassland directly by the princess of the grassland, are you in a hurry?"
Su Juan rolled his eyes and said lightly: "Shouldn't you be in a hurry?" You grew up with Gu Tingjun wearing a pair of pants, if he goes to the grassland, how will you live in the future?"
"I thank you for your concern!" "If he holds the beauty, as a brother, I will definitely only be happy for him!"
Jiang Huawei took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile: "Two years ago, I had a relationship with that princess. Beautiful, very beautiful, different from the beauty of the Central Plains women, like the moon on the grassland, clear and transparent, and like the sun, fiery and unrestrained. Her beauty lies in her unfettered nature, vigorous and exuberant vitality. ”
"The woman who can be so praised by Sister Jiang must be a special person, not only beautiful on the outside, but more importantly, with a beautiful soul. The eldest grandson Huiqing said, "I'm a little tempted, and now I really want to meet that princess!"
"It's not early, you can continue to chat, I have to go to Ziwei Palace. Su Tang'an got up and said, "These days, because of the approaching New Year's end, I have been slacking off a lot, and the master should be scolding me." ”
"There you go. The eldest grandson Huiqing said, "By the way, let's talk to Youran, let's go to Jingci Nunnery in the afternoon to make incense, and let her not forget, I won't wait for her." ”
"Got it. ”
When Su Tang'an first arrived at the staircase, she happened to meet someone she didn't want to meet, Bailiqi. He was still dressed in black, but there was a man in white beside him, this man had handsome facial features, but his expression was quite indifferent, his eyes were like a thousand years of ice, with a cold air that was thousands of miles away.
"Yo, isn't this Tangerine?" Bai Liqi smiled, "The so-called fate to meet thousands of miles away, I really didn't expect that in this small teahouse, we can also meet, and we are really fated to be very close!"
"I've seen Baili Gongzi. Su Tang'an said lightly, "Tangerine still has something to do, so I'll leave first, and Baili Gongzi will take care of himself." ”
"Don't!" Bai Liqi stretched out his arm and blocked Su Tang'an's way, "It's hard to meet, why don't you have to have a drink together! You didn't give me face last time, I put up with it, this time you can't refute my face, right? Otherwise, I'll be angry!"
"I have something to do today, and it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time. Su Tang'an said coldly, "Baili Gongzi don't have to take an inch, before you intimidate me, at least you have to know where you are now, this is Da Zhou, please be polite." ”
"What about Da Zhou here?" Bai Liqi smiled disdainfully, and Su Cheng'an's attitude also angered him, "I'm here to do you today, I don't think anyone dares to say half a word! Do you Zhou Dynasty really have men who dare to fight against our Yuguo? If there were, they wouldn't have ceded the eight counties of Yizhou to our Yuguo at the beginning, right?"
"A dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth!" Su Juan said coldly, and then kicked Bai Liqi in the abdomen.
Bai Liqi dodged to the side, grabbed Su Ju'an's calf, and said with a playful smile: "You want to give a hug here?"
Su Tang'an smiled coldly, jumped and pulled his foot out, and then punched Bai Liqi's chin hard.
