Chapter 126: The Wicked Guest
Two days later.
A cute young man with a baby face came with a letter in his hand: "This is a letter from the prince to the girl." β
The hosta smiled and took the letter and sent it to the master.
The envelope was bulging and very thick.
Zhao Xiyan suppressed her excited mood, and ordered with a smile: "You go out and wait first, I read the letter and write a reply, you take it back and ask someone to send it to the palace." β
Xu Erwu responded with a smile and retreated with the hosta.
"Hosta," Xu Erwu smiled quietly, "Now I want to come to see you, it's not easy." β
In the past, in Beihai County, the prince ran to Zhaojiafang almost every day. He, a personal soldier, often followed him to Zhao's house, and there were many opportunities to meet the hosta.
Now that he is in the capital, he is ordered to guard the palace. It is not easy to enter the Zhao family's house.
The hosta girl's face was slightly red, and she glanced at Xu Erwu quickly: "You can rest assured that you are on an errand, don't always worry about me." β
Before Xu Erwu could say anything, he saw Haitang coming quickly.
The hosta was also a little surprised, and greeted her: "What's wrong?" β
Haitang hurriedly whispered: "Mrs. Murong came to the door, and Mrs. sent someone to invite our girl to go." β
The hosta was startled and frowned.
This Mrs. Murong sent a prayer post that day. Zhao Xiyan threw away the worship post, and didn't even write a reply. It's good today, and I'll go straight to the door.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come, making it clear that they are evil guests.
The hosta quickly made up her mind: "I'll go and report to Miss." β
At this time, Zhao Xiyan just opened the thick envelope and took out the stationery. It's very thick in your hand, and it has to be seven or eight pages to say the least.
I don't know where Xu Jing got so many things to say.
The corners of Zhao Xiyan's mouth were raised, and his eyebrows were full of smiles. As soon as the letter was opened, the hosta pushed the door and entered, and whispered: "Miss, Mrs. Murong has come to the door as a guest, and Mrs. has invited Miss to meet her." β
Zhao Xiyan paused, and disgust flashed in his eyes.
In this world, there are always self-righteous people. For example, Murong Shen wanted to marry her wishfully. For example, this Mrs. Murong took the initiative to come to the door as a villain.
"If you go to reply, just say that I can't be idle now, please ask Mrs. Murong to wait."
Zhao Xiyan commanded without raising his head.
The hosta should retreat.
Zhao Xiyan settled down, unfolded the letter and read it carefully.
Faith is as it is. The handwriting in the letter is full of jumping and cheerful, carefully describing the life in the palace in the past few days. In Xu Jing's writing, there is nothing to worry about, everything is fine.
Zhao Xiyan went to the study, studied the ink in person, and wrote a reply.
After Xu Erwu took the letter and left, Zhao Xiyan washed his hands without hesitation, and cleaned up carefully. Sun's maid came to urge three times before Zhao Xiyan got up.
β¦β¦
Zhao's inner hall.
Sun's face was almost stiff with laughter.
Mrs. Murong, who had been sitting for an hour, was about to burst out of her eyes with a fire in her stomach.
Mrs. Murong is sixty years old in her Chinese New Year's Eve, and she is well maintained, and she looks no more than thirty years old. Long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, straight nose and red lips, and quite beautiful appearance.
Wives are more expensive than husbands. Murong Yao was a second-rank general in charge of the Praetorian Guard. Mrs. Murong is the second-grade edict canonized by the imperial court, and everywhere she goes, everyone rushes to meet her.
The taste of sitting on a cold bench like today, Mrs. Murong had never tasted it. As time passed, Mrs. Murong's face became more and more ugly, and she gritted her teeth and hated it in her heart. I must see Zhao Xiyan today and give her a "good look".
The sound of soft footsteps sounded.
The Sun family was relieved, and Mrs. Murong snorted coldly in her heart, pulled the corners of her mouth, and looked at the girl who came with a critical gaze.
The more you look at it, the more angry it becomes.
It's beautiful indeed. This kind of beauty has to be admired even with the most mean and critical gaze in the world.
It's beautiful! No wonder Murong Shen was fascinated. The concubines of the Dingguo Mansion refused to marry, and insisted on marrying this Zhao Liu.
Zhao Xiyan's gaze swept over Mrs. Murong and sneered in his heart.
In her previous life, she entered the palace as a concubine, and was often troubled by the high-ranking queen mother.
The lady Murong in front of her is still young, and she is not arrogant to the point of being invincible. However, the habit of raising the chin to look at people is the same.
"I've seen Mrs. Murong." Zhao Xiyan saluted.
Mrs. Murong smiled and didn't smile: "I have been famous for a long time, and I have waited for an hour today, and I finally got to see each other." β
Sun's palms pinched sweat, and he glanced at Zhao Xiyan again and again.
Zhao Xiyan was pleasant, and responded with a smile: "I have no relatives with Mrs. Murong and I have no relationship, and we have no contacts, so I don't know where to start for this long-term admiration." β
"Moreover, our Zhao family did not invite, and Mrs. Murong came without telling her, which was rude first. It's even more ridiculous to be aggressive here. β
Mrs. Murong: "......"
Cold sweat came down Sun's forehead. Mrs. Murong came strangely, and Zhao Xiyan was so unceremonious, which was even more unexpected.
Seeing that Mrs. Murong's face turned blue, Sun's heart beat a drum, and he hurriedly squeezed out a smile to play a round: "The person who comes is a guest, Mrs. Murong is here, and our Zhao family is full of glory." β
Mrs. Murong ignored it and stared at Zhao Xiyan fiercely: "I sent a prayer post before." β
Zhao Xiyan said lightly: "Oh, I didn't like it and threw it away." β
Mrs. Murong: "......"
Sun: "......"
Mrs. Murong Huo Ran got up, and sparked: "You dare to talk to me like this!" β
In the past, in the palace, this sentence was mostly followed by punishment kneeling and various verbal humiliation. As the queen mother, it is easy to make things difficult for a harem concubine. Even Murong Shen, who is the Son of Heaven, can't protect her all the time.
Zhao Xiyan was reminded of the memories of the past, and his mood was not very good, and he said coldly: "This is Zhao Mansion, if Mrs. Murong wants to be prestigious, let's go back to Murong Mansion!" β
Mrs. Murong had never experienced such idleness in her life, her chest rose and fell violently, her breathing was short, and her face flushed with anger: "What a sharp-toothed Zhao Liu girl!" Today I have been thoroughly taught. β
Sun wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and laughed: "Mrs. Murong dissipates her anger." Xiyan is young and vigorous, and Mrs. Murong is broad-minded, don't worry about her. β
Mrs. Murong sneered: "Mrs. Zhao also saw with her own eyes, a girl who has not left the pavilion is talking to a second-grade lady like this." It turns out that the Zhao family is such a tutor. β
"Uninvited is for the wicked." Zhao Xiyan answered the conversation unhurriedly: "I have been taught by my family since I was a child, and I will never do such annoying things. I don't know Mrs. Murong, how can you be qualified to evaluate our Zhao family's tutor? β
Mrs. Murong was extremely angry, and stretched out her hand to point at Zhao Xiyan: "You ......"
Zhao Xiyan glanced at the past: "I don't know what else Mrs. Murong has to say?" β
"By the way, I am the fiancΓ©e of the prince of Beihai. In the future, I will become a princess. I don't know much about the level of the imperial court's edicts. Dare to ask Mrs. Murong, when we meet in the future, who should greet whom? β
