Chapter 322: Ruby

Just as her thoughts wandered, Begonia walked in with a post:

"Girl, Princess Yu has a post for you, and the little girl who sent the letter said that the palace will hold a flower-viewing banquet tomorrow, and the officials and daughters with heads and faces in Jingzhou will go over."

Shen Mingjiao took the post, her heart was complicated. For more than a month, Shen Mingjiao has been running to King Yu's mansion every once in a while, in fact, she no longer needs to approach Princess Yu to get news. She just wanted Princess Yu to be happy for a while, anyway, she was quite relaxed when chatting with the other party.

The next day, when Shen Mingjiao came to the flower hall of Yuwang Mansion, there were already many ladies in the hall. Looking at the dress, they should all be Jingzhou City officials and very big wealthy businessmen.

Shen Mingjiao naturally didn't know anyone, she had no intention of staying longer, and came to the backyard skillfully,

Princess Yu was picking out clothes, and when she saw Shen Mingjiao coming in, she hurriedly beckoned: "Chunni, come over and help me see which dress is suitable?" ”

Shen Mingjiao followed her line of sight and saw the maid on the side holding two sets of clothes in her hands, one silver-red embroidered peony tuanhua, and the other royal blue embroidered pine crane.

She didn't hesitate to point to the silver-red dress and said with a smile: "Although the royal blue is solemn, but today is a flower banquet, why should the princess wear it more festively." ”

Princess Yu obviously also attached more importance to this, and was just about to ask the maid to help change it, but she hesitated a little and said, "Will it be too glamorous?" I'm so old! ”

Shen Mingjiao smiled and waved her hand: "It's not glamorous at all, the princess is dressed just right." ”

She was telling the truth, Princess Yu loved to laugh, and it was suitable to wear a brighter color.

In between changing clothes, Princess Yu didn't forget to chatter: "Somehow, this person, when he is old, he likes red and green, like when I was young, I liked the elegant colors of light purple and moon white the most......"

As she spoke, she had already changed her clothes, and seeing that the hour was not early, the two of them walked towards the flower hall hand in hand. On the road, Princess Yu's mouth still didn't stop:

"You don't know, Hao'er's kid actually hid from everyone two days ago, left quietly with his baggage, and left a book saying that he was going to explore the rivers and lakes, why do you say this kid is so uneasy?"

Shen Mingjiao knew that she was talking about Feng Qihao, the prince of Yuwangfu, she came to Yuwangfu a few days ago and saw it by chance, he was a young man with a hearty smile, very similar to Princess Yu.

She took a breath and stopped thinking about it, Emperor Jing He might let Princess Yu go, but the chance of letting Prince Yu go was very small.

While speaking, the group had already walked to the flower hall, and Princess Yu had been doing it for a while, and a woman with a full head of pearls was late.

When the ladies in the hall saw the visitor, Gu Du's eyes lit up, and their eyes were full of flattery, and they were even more enthusiastic than facing Princess Yu.

Mrs. Fan stepped forward and saluted casually to Princess Shangshouyu: "The courtiers are waiting for the lord to go out, so it's too late." Please also Princess Haihan. ”

Princess Yu snorted: "I can't afford it, Lord Fan is really a good day, I don't know, I still think that Mrs. Fan is waiting for the finale to appear, so as to overwhelm the concubine?" ”

The ladies on the field seemed to have become gourds with saw-mouthed mouths, all bowing their heads and looking at their noses and noses.

Mrs. Fan still raised her head, and replied without being soft or hard: "The princess said that she laughed, the lord is in charge of the affairs of the city, and it is indeed not as easy as you and the prince." ”

This is almost a panic and said that King Yu is useless, and he has to rely on Master Fan everywhere.

Princess Yu gritted her teeth in anger, and the two continued to argue.

Princess Yu is a rectum, so naturally she can't say that everyone was born and sociable Mrs. Fan.

Obviously, in this kind of matter, Princess Yu has definitely been defeated repeatedly, and after many rounds, even the eight-faced and exquisite Mrs. Fan is a little unbearable.

Shen Mingjiao watched silently, and at the same time, a trace of doubt drifted in her heart.

On the bright side, Fan Changshi was greedy for merit and power, and King Yu was weak and talentless, so he was set aside.

However, in fact, all this is an illusion to confuse the world, the more King Yu rebelled, and it was impossible for Fan Changshi not to know it.

That Mrs. Fan is like this, is she completely unaware of it like Princess Yu, or is she acting!

Mrs. Kefan was born into a large family, and it is said that she is very good at sociability, even if she does not know it, she should not offend the princess so much. If it's a show, you should have some scruples.

As he was thinking, the corner of his eyes inadvertently swept to a woman in an apricot yellow dress who was following Mrs. Fan.

The woman is only in her twenties, and she is a rare beauty with a beautiful face.

However, Shen Mingjiao would notice this woman, not because of her appearance. Instead, I felt that the other party's face was inexplicably familiar.

Two months ago, at the middle-aged banquet in the palace, she accidentally bumped into the father-in-law Wu who had planted a heart-loving Gu, and afterwards found a picture of a girl's baby elephant in the room of Gonggong Wu, which was his lost sister, and Yun Shu recognized the girl on the baby elephant as Hongyu, a thin horse in the south of the Yangtze River, and was later sold to Jingzhou.

At that time, Yun Shu casually painted the portrait of the woman, so Shen Mingjiao was still quite impressed.

Perhaps her gaze was too focused, and Hongyu turned her head to look. Shen Mingjiao smiled curiously and friendly at the other party.

As soon as she learned about this, she sandwiched the portrait painted by Yun Shu in a letter and sent it to Feng Lisheng, so she thought that Feng Lisheng had already made arrangements.

At this time, Princess Yu also noticed Hongyu, her eyes rolled, and she exaggerated "ah", "This girl looks at her eyes, but she looks really handsome!" I don't know which girl in the house it is? ”

Now Mrs. Fan was so angry that she gritted her teeth, the old man pampered Hongyu, a slut, there was nothing in the upper circle of Jingzhou that did not know, how could Princess Yu, who has always loved to chew her tongue, not know?

However, she is naturally higher than Princess Yu, no matter what she thinks in her heart, there is nothing strange on her face: "This is Aunt Hong, I think the princess has heard of it." ”

It was rare for Princess Yu to grasp Mrs. Fan's sore spot, and the two had another war of words.

……

After a while, the two finally stopped, after all, the flower-viewing banquet that Princess Yu had worked so hard to organize could not all be used to fight.

Shen Mingjiao was a little bored, so she walked around the garden casually by Begonia, she had been to this garden a few times, and she was quite familiar, turning around a rockery in front of her, it was an octagonal pavilion with a good view.

She was about to go over and sit for a while when she heard a faint cough in her ear. Haitang pointed to the corner of the rockery and whispered:

"Isn't that the red aunt who followed Mrs. Fan just now?"

Shen Mingjiao followed her line of sight, and sure enough, she saw a beautiful-looking woman standing there, and at this time, the other party was bending over, covering her chest with one hand and coughing desperately.

Shen Mingjiao walked over, raised her hand to help her smooth her back, and said softly, "Do you need help?" ”

Ruby looked up sharply, and when she got closer, she noticed that her face was very pale, and she only covered it with makeup powder. She lowered her eyes and said:

"No, thank you."

Shen Mingjiao took the water bladder held by Haitang: "Drink some!" ”

Without waiting for her to refuse, she directly stuffed the water bladder into the other party's hand. When I touched the back of her hand, I couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are your hands so cold?" ”

After carefully looking at the other party's face, she was shocked and guessed, "What are you...... Miscarriage? ”

She remembered that when she was in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion in the past, one of Brother Tang's Tongfang was secretly pregnant, and the Li family asked her to pour a bowl of abortion pills into the Tongfang. Afterwards, she happened to bump into the room, and her face was like this.

Ruby still lowered her eyes and answered softly.

Shen Mingjiao understood, she said that even if Hongyu was favored, she was only a concubine, and it stands to reason that it was impossible for Mrs. Fan to bring a concubine to such an occasion.

She didn't have a position to say anything about this, after all, it was common for a wife not to wait to see a concubine. She grabbed a handful of red dates from her purse and handed them over:

"Eat something, it's better than nothing, no matter what, there is only one life."

Hongyu finally raised her head, was stunned for a moment, and whispered "thank you", this time in a much more sincere tone.

She stretched out her hand to pick up the red dates handed over by Shen Mingjiao. Gently pinched one and put it in her mouth, the sweet taste exploded in her mouth, but the tip of her nose couldn't help but sour.

She couldn't help but eat another one and said "thank you" again,

With that, she was about to leave, knowing she couldn't stay out for long. But the arm was pulled down.

Just now, when Hongyu stretched out her hand, Shen Mingjiao happened to see an extremely thin black line on her arm.

Cui Lingling said that anyone who has been planted with Gu has such a black line on the inside of his arm.

She was about to use hypnosis to ask what she wanted to know once and for all, when Mrs. Fan and a few female scrolls happened to come by in the distance, and she had to retract her hand regretfully.

Ruby didn't notice the change in her eyes, and only whispered as she left:

"Don't come to Yuwang's Mansion again during this time, the farther away the better."

……

On the other hand, after this period of flattery, King Yu took Chen Jinbao with him almost everywhere. Today, King Yu went to Zhuangzi, who specializes in raising birds outside the city.

Chen Jinbao had to follow along, Yuwang didn't suspect anything, and deep down he even enjoyed the feeling of being sought after.

This Zhuangzi looks very large because it is a bird farm, and it is immediately behind it with a large mountain called Wanfo Mountain. Legend has it that there are fierce beasts and spirits in the depths of Wanfo Mountain, and over the years, there are hunters or explorers who do not believe in evil to enter the depths, but no one can come out.

As soon as he walked into Zhuangzi, his ears were full of all kinds of chirping birds, Feng Wu covered his ears uncomfortably and whispered: "How many birds have you raised!" ”

Feng Lisheng didn't speak, but just listened quietly to the birds around him.

The group followed Yuwang for a while, during which they wore flowers and willows, passed through several tree clearings, and from time to time there were all kinds of rare birds flying overhead.

But perhaps it was out of his intuition that he had been trained in the battlefield, Feng Wu always felt that something was wrong, especially when he looked at the surrounding environment, the sense of disobedience was even more obvious.
