Speaking of this, the queen's tone paused, and her originally gentle expression was also covered with fierceness.

"Liang Ji." It was rare for her to call Liang Ji's full name.

"The retainer is here." Liang Ji subconsciously responded quickly.

"Even if you can't get Liu Yanxue, you must not let her marry another prince." The queen stared at Liang Ji's eyes tightly, and the ruthlessness in her eyes made Liang Ji a little flustered, "She has become the help of other princes, which greatly reduces your possibility of getting the throne." ”

Although he had already guessed the queen's thoughts, Liang Ji still moved his lips with difficulty: "If she wants to marry another prince, what should her sons do?" ”

"What should I do?" The queen sneered, and then her wrist moved slightly, landing on her neck, like a "killing" gesture.

“…… Good. After a moment of silence, for the sake of the throne, Liang Ji forcibly suppressed a little pity in his heart, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

At the same time, he couldn't help muttering to himself, and he didn't know who this sentence was addressed to: "I hope you don't know how to lift ......"

Liu Yanxue sat in the carriage and staggered home.

She was accompanied by a female officer.

As soon as they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister, Dou Yue'e and Liu Mengling couldn't wait to greet them.

"My lord, what is the reason why Yan Xue was called into the palace by her mother?" The prime minister's face was full of panic, and his brain was spinning rapidly, while looking at the female official with a little flattery.

However, the female official kept a joyful smile on her face: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, it's a good thing." ”

"Niangniang and Miss Liu Si talked for a long time, and her words were full of praise for Miss Liu Si, and she even asked the lower officials to come with Yi Zhi, making the Prime Minister and Mrs. happy and happy." The female officer said, unfolding the two volumes of edicts in her hand.

The prime minister, Dou Yue, Liu Mengling, and Liu Yanxue, who had just returned, all knelt down and saluted, listening to the content of Yi's decree.

When the queen dictated the edict, Liu Yanxue sat next to the queen, so she was clear about the content of the edict.

At this time, when she heard the female official's voice loudly read out the contents of Yi's will, her face did not change at all.

But the other four people present were not like her.

Therefore, after hearing the queen's series of praises and rewards for Liu Yanxue, their faces were different.

After a moment of surprise, the prime minister's face was very happy, after all, it was his own daughter who won the queen's praise, and with the affirmation of the most noble woman in the world, the man who wanted to marry Liu Yanxue was afraid that he would be able to line up from the east of Kyoto to the west.

But Dou Yue'e and Liu Mengling's expressions are becoming more and more unhappy, Dou Yue'e can still hide it, but the displeasure on Liu Mengling's face can be seen at a glance.

Although the female official was reading the edict, her eyes also wandered on the bodies and faces of several people.

When she found that Liu Mengling's face was pale, and her eyes were full of jealousy, her words paused.

，

Then she retracted her gaze, continued to read all the edicts, and handed her hands to Liu Yanxue.

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister, the eldest daughter is the first beauty in Kyoto, not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also the princess of the third prince; The youngest daughter is no worse than the eldest daughter, not only has a successful career, but also has been praised by the queen's mother...... "When the female officer noticed that she praised Liu Mengling, Liu Mengling held her head high, like a proud rooster; But when her voice changed and said that Liu Yanxue was powerful, Liu Mengling's face suddenly darkened, and she glared at Liu Yanxue fiercely.

Compared with Liu Mengling, who was moody and angry, Liu Yanxue's face was calm, and there were no emotional fluctuations during the whole process.

She secretly made a comparison in her heart, and felt that Liu Yanxue was superior.

However, what she was thinking in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, but after playing Tai Chi with the prime minister, she turned around and left the prime minister's mansion and returned to the palace to report the situation to the queen.

"Yanxue, my father didn't misunderstand you!" The prime minister felt that there was light on his face, so he reached out and patted Liu Yanxue's shoulder with satisfaction, "In the future, the skin care store will be your industry, and no one else is allowed to interfere anymore, and the whole process will be handled by Yanxue herself." ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept a glance at Liu Mengling and Dou Yue, and the meaning in his words was self-evident.

Dou Yue'e knew that it was the time for Liu Yanxue to be proud of the spring breeze, so she obediently responded, and by the way, she put a smile on her face, and praised Liu Yanxue for her business acumen as an elder.

But Liu Mengling looked at Liu Yanxue, who had always been looked down on by her, getting her current results, and her heart was blocked, she couldn't go up or down, and she was sour when she spoke: "The fourth sister is rich now, not only occupying a large amount of dowry money in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also turning out the treasure from the dowry, and actually making a lot of money from the dowry, it is estimated that with the money in your hand, there are countless men who want to marry you...... Unlike me, although I decided to be the third princess, I didn't have much money at all, and I couldn't even buy two clothes I liked. ”

Liu Mengling's words did not cause any harm to Liu Yanxue.

Liu Yanxue raised her head calmly: "You don't have any money because you can't do it." ”

"You!" With just one sentence, Liu Mengling was so angry that she took a step forward, but seeing Liu Yanxue's sad and joyless face, thinking of the pain on her cheeks, she stepped back timidly, "You're just lucky, if I can get the recipe, I will definitely be able to do better than you." ”

"I'll go back first." Liu Yanxue didn't bother to pay attention to Liu Mengling, she looked directly at the prime minister, "I also promised to tailor skin care products for the queen's mother, and I want to go back to study the formula and proportion of medicinal materials." ”

"Go, go, go." The prime minister originally planned to let Liu Yanxue stay and listen to a few words of his teachings.

But since Liu Yanxue wants to do things for the queen, the prime minister naturally doesn't dare to keep her anymore.

Seeing Liu Yanxue leave, the prime minister turned around and reprimanded Liu Mengling in an unhappy tone: "Mengling, you are the eldest sister, why do you not look as calm as your sister?" ”

"Father, I ......" was suddenly said by the prime minister, Liu Mengling's face was full of unconvinced, she stalked her neck, "Why am I not calm?" ”

"If you are calm, will you talk to Yanxue with a gun and a stick?" Thinking of the scene just now, the prime minister was angry, "Yan Xue was able to find a recipe, make it, and open a store to publicize it, all of which are her abilities, and people have won the love of the queen, and they have specially studied medical books and found suitable medicinal materials for the queen." ”

The prime minister took a breath, calmed down, and continued: "Can you study all the medical books and tailor skin care products for the queen?" You usually read books for three days to fish and two days to dry your nets, and you have to keep an eye on you from morning to night. ”

"I ......" Liu Mengling wanted to refute, but she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.

Because the prime minister is telling the truth.

Seeing that the prime minister still wanted to scold Liu Mengling, Dou Yue'e hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Master, don't say it, Mengling is still young, although she doesn't speak well, she doesn't have any bad intentions, but she is just worried about her sister." ”

Dou Yue'e stretched out her hand and gently patted the prime minister's back to soothe his emotions: "Mengling, you quickly make amends to your father, how can you be a daughter who contradicts her father like this?" ”

"Doesn't Liu Yanxue talk back every day......" Liu Mengling muttered, but was glared at fiercely by Dou Yue.

She also knew that it was useless for her to continue, so she pouted and saluted the prime minister: "Father, my daughter knows that she is wrong." ”

Her apology was perfunctory, and the prime minister was still not very satisfied.

"Okay, you're all about to become the third princess, and you're still acting so frizzy." Dou Yue'e timely brought out the identity of Liu Mengling's third princess and reminded the prime minister, "Go back and learn royal etiquette, don't make jokes in the future." ”

Back in the courtyard, Liu Mengling sat on a chair, and the more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became.

She walked to the bedroom and opened the wardrobe, although there were many clothes in it, there were few particularly good ones, compared to her previous wardrobe, it could be said to be empty.

Thinking of Liu Yanxue's skin care store, where she could earn thousands of taels of silver a day, Liu Mengling's fingers holding the wooden handle of the wardrobe became harder and harder, and even her fingertips turned slightly white.

Just when Liu Mengling was secretly unhappy, a little maid suddenly ran over: "Miss, the third prince is here!" ”

"Three Princes!" Liu Mengling turned around quickly in disbelief and looked at the maid who was running over, "Why did the third prince come?" ”

She had a surprised smile on her face, but she said duplicitously: "I'm afraid he is thinking of Liu Yanxue and came to her, right?" ”

"Miss, don't think about it." The maid smiled and groaned, "The prince specially said that he was coming to find the young lady, and he is now in the garden, and it is estimated that he will arrive in half an hour." ”

"Are you really looking for me?" The surprise came unexpectedly, Liu Mengling hurriedly opened the cabinet, changed into her most beautiful dress, then sat in front of the mirror, quickly swept Emei, nodded her lips with lip fat, and combed her hair again.

After she quickly took care of her appearance with the help of the maids, Liang Ji also arrived.

"Lord Wang, you're here." Liu Mengling's face was full of spring, and she walked in front of Liang Ji shyly and timidly, "The prince is looking for a courtier, but what do you have to say?" ”

Liu Mengling thought that Liang Ji was here to appease her, after all, Liu Yanxue had a good impression from the queen, and Liang Ji would definitely come to comfort her and tell her that she was the future third princess.

Liang Ji frowned, and said directly: "You and Liu Yanxue are sisters, and you know her movements better than me." ”

He didn't notice Liu Mengling's gloomy face, and still asked to himself: "Liu Yanxue and the fifth prince Liang Wei, have the two of them been in contact?" I always felt that something was wrong with the two of them. ”

"The Five Princes?" Even if she was angry, Liu Mengling was still stunned for a moment after hearing the words "Five Princes".

There are many sons and daughters of the saint today, but they all have their own characteristics, and Liu Mengling, as the daughter of the prime minister, often comes into contact with them, and naturally she can write them down.

But when she thought of the Five Princes, her mind turned out to be blank.
