Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 101
Prince House
After hearing the canonization news, Xie Yu’s expression was exceptionally calm, without showing any joy. The prince smiled and said, “Are you not happy?”
Xie Yu just smiled, with a clear expression: “Position is actually not important. As long as the prince has me in his heart, why should he care about others.”
Xie Yu said sincerely, the prince smiled and nodded, but in a blink of an eye he saw her suddenly burst into tears, his expression changed slightly: “What’s the matter, why are you crying suddenly?”
Xie Yu gently wiped away her tears, but raised a pair of tearful eyes to look at the prince: “I have already told His Royal Highness that I am a person who has no support like duckweed. I can’t go home if I have a home. I can’t recognize my relatives. Here, my heart is very sad. Your Majesty, your kindness to me is as great as a mountain. I really hope to share this glory with my family, but they don’t want to see me now.”
The prince held her shoulders, and stared at Xie Yu carefully by the sunlight coming in from the carved window of the magnolia Pongshou stone pattern. His lovely eyes, small and pale thin lips, and slightly sharpened jaws were none of them. Do not show the pain, grievances and wrongs she endured.
The prince frowned and said with pity: “My concubine should naturally be loved, how dare they ignore it, tomorrow, I will personally send you home.”
Xie Yu shook slightly, and joy appeared in her eyes. After a while she just sighed softly: “No need, your majesty, even though they are afraid of your power and accept me on the surface, their misunderstandings about me have not been resolved, there is still grudge in their hearts.” Before she finished her words, her tears fell down again, like a broken pearl wet the front. The prince’s heart twitched in an instant, and he hurriedly said softly and comforted: “Don’t cry, you must always think about the flesh and blood in your stomach, if you cry, be careful of hurting your child.”
Xie Yu quickly wiped away her tears and forced a laugh.
The prince had already heard Xie Yu mention the reason for being expelled from Xie’s house, and felt even more distressed for a while: “That person seems to be beautiful and gentle, but secretly harming you behind his back is really hateful!”
Xie Yu just lowered his eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her white eyes: “Your Highness, it’s okay not to mention this. It makes me more sad to mention it.”
The prince’s lips sneered: “There is one thing you don’t know, Princess Qing enters the palace, please seal it up, now Jiang Xiaolou is the lord of Mingyue Princess.”
“Princess Mingyue?” Xie Yu was completely stunned. The excitement of being promoted to the side concubine had already been impacted by the news. Her face sank slightly, but she reluctantly pulled a smile, “There is always such a thing in the world. Only a cunning, treacherous, duplicity woman can win the sympathy of others, like me… who can neither speak nor defend, is shamelessly framed for no reason, and is forced out by her family. I don’t know how much sadness can be revealed.”
The prince pondered for a moment, and said: “Princess Qing has already given me a post and invited me to go to a banquet with the prince. When the time comes, high-ranking officials will gather. I will take advantage of this opportunity and I will try to get you out of this grievance.”
Xie Yu’s heart moved, and she said softly: “But Jiang Xiaolou is a very cunning woman, I’m afraid…”
The prince just smiled: “You take care of your baby, don’t think about anything else, you have a proper person to solve this matter.”
When the prince likes a person, he can lift her to the sky, and when he hates a person, he doesn’t even look at it. Xie Yu knew very well that His Royal Highness had no constancy. Taking advantage of his pampering himself now, he had to fight for more benefits. It would be best to get rid of Jiang Xiaolou completely. Xie Yu leaned weakly into the other’s arms, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
Qing Palace
The old princess was leaning on the couch, a handmaid was beating her on the back, and the other handmaid carefully lit up the hookah. The old princess took a mouthful, raised her head slightly, and exhaled a wisp of white smoke from her lips. The fragrant smell was a bit bitter. The smoke ring gradually melted into the sun, leaving only a few disturbing smoke and dust.
King Qing’s face was faint, and his mouth was very reluctant: “Are you going to hold a celebration party for her?”
Princess Qing looked down on him like this, but just snorted: “Why shouldn’t all the canonized princesses be like this?”
Qing Wang’s face became more gloomy: “The purpose is first, and the posts are all posted, why don’t you say hello to me first?”
Princess Qing smiled indifferently, her pale face showed a red tide instead, she was purely impatient: “The canonization is the will of the empress, it is impossible for the empress to come to greet you personally, the prince’s face is too big.”
Seeing the two pointed at Maimang, Concubine Shun was full of concern: “The prince must not get angry, the concubine is just…”
Concubine Qing gave her a cold look, and Concubine Shun made a sudden burst in her heart, but her smile was more gentle: “It is a good thing to have a princess in the family. The prince does not need to worry about it. Let me take care of this matter. Keep it properly and stick it up.”
“What to do! This is not the blood of Prince Qing’s mansion, and getting a wild girl inexplicably makes me admit that I am the princess. It is simply a horror of the world! If she does anything out of order at the banquet, Isn’t it laughable and generous.”
Princess Qing couldn’t help but her eyes were angry, and she was about to break out. Thinking of Jiang Xiaolou’s request, she could only hold back her anger, and said with a smile: “Mother, what do you say to your daughter-in-law?”
King Qing said: “Do you dare to bother your mother. Are you as mindless as you when you are a mother?!”
The old princess knocked the hookah on the small coffee table twice, and the voice sounded particularly alarming in the silent room: “Well, I’m not dead yet, is there any decentness in this family?”
Princess Qing immediately smiled: “Mother, it’s all mine. Take care of your body and don’t worry about it.”
Both King Qing and Concubine Shun were taken aback. Princess Qing always likes to stick to the old concubine’s neck and confess their mistakes to the old concubine. Could it be that the sun has come out.
The old princess also choked, and looked up and down at princess Qing, seeming a little surprised. Princess Qing took a deep breath and smiled guiltily all over her face: “Mother, this is also your rule. If there is a big happy event in the house, it must be done, and the daughter-in-law dare to bring it up…”
The old princess nodded and said to King Qing: “Since it is the will of the empress and the empress, there is no room for deception. This matter must not only be done, but it must be done in a big way, so that all the people in the capital must know that we have many palaces in Qing Dynasty. A Mingyue Princess.”
“Mother, why are you doing this?” Qing Wang looked bad. Concubine Shun couldn’t conceal her unhappiness, a sharp cold light appeared in her eyes.
The old princess looked indifferently and said: “The emperor’s order cannot be violated. The empress has already lifted Jiang Xiaolou, and you passed quietly. Do you slap your empress in the face in public? How many heads do you have?”
Although Wang Qing was still indignant, he had never dared to refute what the old princess said, so he could only hold back the tone and replied with carelessness.
Coming out of the old princess’s house, Qing princess smiled slightly: “Master, then I will prepare.”
King Qing looked at her back, annoyed to the extreme, but helplessly, he flung his sleeves and left in the opposite direction. Concubine Shun turned her head slightly and stared at Princess Qing’s back with an unusually cold gaze. Her eyes looked like a poisonous snake staring at a leaping frog, and like a spider staring at the moth in the web, with a deep feeling. Resentment.
The moonlight gradually thickened, and the entire courtyard was quiet, with shadows of trees and moonlight faintly reflected on the window screens, and the shadows of the buildings. Jiang Xiaolou had already rested, Xiaodie was leaning on the beauty couch, head little by little, seeming to be dozing off.
Wow—-
Fluttershy was startled suddenly, and she opened her eyes and looked around. The surroundings were peaceful, except for the windows that were blown open by the wind. She shook her head, barely drove the sleepiness away, and walked to the window to look out, but she was empty. She couldn’t help laughing at her courage, so she reached out and closed the window. Turning his head, he found that Jiang Xiaolou in the mantle tent was still asleep, the long green silk snaking down like flowing water, and the beautiful face was calm and calm. Xiaodie immediately held her breath, for fear that it would disturb Jiang Xiaolou’s dream.
Fluttershy returned to the couch lightly, leaned back and closed his eyes.
Moon stars are scarce, and a petite black shadow flashes in the corridor. She quietly walked to the backyard while everyone was sleeping peacefully. In the moonlight, she opened the door and walked into an exquisite room where the clothes that had just been taken back from the yard were neatly stacked. After the clothes are washed, the maids will smoke them with blue musk, and then they will be sent to the lady’s bedroom by someone. The eyes of the visitors kept patrolling, as if searching for something important in it.
Just at this moment, she saw a veil embroidered with orchids, pinned to a skirt that had just been incense, and she couldn’t help but feel happy, just waiting to reach out and take it. In the oblique stabbing, a big cold hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed her wrist, “Ah—” She jumped up in horror, almost screaming.
A pair of bright eyes were staring at her, and he smiled: “It’s strange that there are gold and silver jewelry in the lady’s bedroom. Instead of stealing there, you walked to the backyard instead. It turned out that you wanted to get her personal objects!”
“Lose, let go!” The manpower was so great that her wrist was about to break, and the pain was piercing.
As soon as the voice fell, a red candle lit up in the dark room.
Fluttershy walked in with the candlestick, and the bright candlelight instantly illuminated everything in the house. She sank her face: “Bi Cao, how come you are here?”
Bi Cao, a jealous spirit, quickly said, “Yes, the slave and maid were thirsty at night… That’s why they came out, and suddenly saw someone in this room—” Her eyes turned to Chu Han, who looked like Chu Han in the candlelight. Like a sturdy bear, her sturdy and powerful arms gripped her tightly. A trace of embarrassment appeared on Bi Cao’s face: “As a result… this guard elder brother seems to treat me as a thief! Sister Xiaodie, please help me intercede and let him let me go.
Fluttershy ignored the remarks, but raised her brows and smiled slightly: “Miss has been awakened, come with me.”
Bi Cao’s heart jumped, but remembering that the other party had no real evidence, he couldn’t help but replied, “Yes.”
Chu Han escorted Bi Cao into the outer room. Jiang Xiaolou had already put on his coat and sat on the chair, but his hair was still loose and he looked a little lazy. Her eyes slowly fell on Bi Cao’s body, and her tone was normal: “It’s deeper in the night, why don’t you take a good rest in your house and go to the backyard?”
Bi Cao suppressed his nervousness and quickly said, “Miss, the servant girl found that the figure was shaking in the room and went in to check. Who knew he was caught as a thief. Everything is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled lightly, her long eyelashes concealing the room, unable to stop the sneerful smile in his eyes: “It seems that you have been wronged.”
Bi Cao’s eyes widened. Although Jiang Xiaolou always had a shallow smile on her face, that smile was always not warm, and she felt cold all over her body inexplicably, as if she had a feeling of aversion to cold slowly crawling along her back. When it came up, it instantly spread to the limbs and hundreds of skeletons, making people unavoidable. She forced herself to calm down, and said slowly, “Miss, the servant girl is sent by the princess to serve you. Of course he is loyal. Is it possible that you still suspect the servant girl?”
Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly: “Knowing people, knowing my face, not knowing my heart, my mother sent you to me to take care of me, but I didn’t want you to touch my veil in the middle of the night.”
Chu Han pulled the veil in Bi Cao’s hand and handed it over respectfully. Jiang Xiaolou only glanced at it, then smiled and said: “These things are kept by special personnel on weekdays. It is very difficult to get them. They will only be taken out to dry during the pulp washing. According to the rules, the clothes must be delivered on the same day. Will stay overnight, but today the girl in charge of this work is inexplicably upset, so you grab this gap and try to take out the same difference, I guess right?”
Bicao was nervous and sweated on her forehead: “Miss, you must not wrong the slave and maid. The slave and maid would never have such thoughts. If you want to steal, you should steal the jewelry in the maid’s room. How can you look at a veil and never go out? Let’s change money! Don’t scare slaves anymore, slaves can’t be scared!”
Jiang Xiaolou’s cold eyes flashed with a faint soft light, and there was a faint color under the candlelight: “Bi Cao, I like real people, and especially hate girls who love to lie, you have to think clearly before speaking. .”
Naturally, Bi Cao refused to admit it, and she continued to defend herself: “Miss, if you really don’t believe it, you might as well ask. Bi Cao is the son of a family in the mansion. His hands and feet are clean, and she doesn’t have the bad habits outside.”
“I was caught and obtained personal stolen goods, you girl still kept arguing for herself, really think it was sent by the princess, my lady dare not punish you?” Xiaodie couldn’t help but gnashed her teeth and gave her a bite.
Bi Cao raised her head and said: “The punishment must be convincing to the slave and maidservant. The slave and maid petitioned to the princess to prove to her the innocence of the slave and maid!”
Heh—Jiang Xiaolou suddenly laughed softly, and the laughter seemed extremely low in the silent night. Bi Cao was a little nervous. She stared at Jiang Xiaolou, and suddenly forgot what she was about to say.
Jiang Xiaolou’s tone was flat and his voice tactfully: “Well said, you must pay attention to evidence in everything. But I always do things based on my mood, and I don’t see any evidence, Xiaodie.”
Xiaodie immediately responded: “Yes, miss.”
Jiang Xiaolou called her closer and gave a few words in a low voice. A smile appeared on Xiaodie’s face, and when she flashed her body, the cyan skirt disappeared in front of Bi Cao.
Bi Cao vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he could only lower his head and waited quietly for Jiang Xiaolou’s next move without saying a word. Xiaolou seemed to no longer pay attention to her, but just supported her with her hands and closed her eyes to rest. Chu Han was like a door god, quietly guarding the door, not giving Bi Cao any chance to escape.
After a while, Xiaodie brought a teapot with her. Her expression was a bit strange, and she was frightened by the sight of Bi Cao.
Xiaodie stepped forward and coldly ordered: “Twist her arm.”
Chu Han immediately twisted Bi Cao’s arm, and Bi Cao said “Ah”, Xiaodie took the opportunity to pinch her chin, and was about to pour the teapot into her mouth. Bi Cao was horrified: “Miss, you can’t do that. If your servant is poisoned to death, you can’t escape the relationship!”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled softly: “Don’t worry, this is not poison, but molten tin.”
If the poison is poured, it will naturally be intestinal puncture, but if the tin liquid is poured, the throat will soon be blocked by the tin. This is not poisoned to death, but alive and infarcted. Even if she is found dead, she will never be able to think of the cause of her death. This method is so vicious! Bi Cao shook his head all over, and shook his head desperately: “No, the servants don’t drink!”
Fluttershy stuffed the long teapot mouth between her teeth, and she wailed loudly: “The slave and maid said everything! Miss, you let the slave and the slave tell you all!” Compared to her own life, everything else unimportant.
Jiang Xiaolou smiled and waved his hand, Xiaodie then stepped aside.
Bi Cao’s face was pale: “Mother Zhao in the mansion quietly stuffed the slave-maid with an ingot of gold, saying that the slave-maid will marry in the future. After all, Miss Jiang is an outsider. No matter how caring the slave-maid is, it is impossible to marry out with you. Consider it more for yourself. She doesn’t want me to do anything else, as long as she quietly takes the young lady’s veil…”
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes were shining, especially gentle under the candlelight, but with a long tail, and faintly let out a faint cry: “It’s very strange to ask for my veil. When will my things become rare and precious? I was going to steal it quietly in the middle of the night.”
Bi Cao didn’t dare to answer, but dropped his head, fearing to the extreme. Only now did she know that Jiang Xiaolou was definitely not a good stubborn, and she had to deal with her without blinking. This method was not inferior to the masters of the palace. She felt a little regretful for taking on this errand, but now it’s hard to get off, what’s the use of regret.
Seeing the cold sweat on her forehead, Jiang Xiaolou’s lips pursed and smiled: “Who is Mother Zhao?”
Bi Cao turned her heart back, suppressing her voice and said, “Mother Zhao is actually…” She hesitated a bit at the end, and her throat seemed to choke up here. Xiaodie snorted and lifted the teapot in her hand. Bi Cao’s heart was shaken, and she immediately said: “She is Concubine Shun’s close mother. She has always been highly regarded by her!”
Xiaodie’s voice tightened and whispered: “Miss, did they come for the banquet?”
Jiang Xiaolou’s brows seemed to jump inadvertently, and his attitude was extremely leisurely but with infinite sarcasm: “Yes, it seems that I have come up with some insidious way to want my personal items so hard.” A pair of eyes fell softly on Bi Cao’s body, “Since it has been opened up by me, what do you think should be done with you?”
Bi Cao kept kowtow, his whole body involuntarily cooled from inside to outside, only knocking his snow-white forehead, screaming for mercy.
Jiang Xiaolou didn’t speak for a long time, and just when Bi Cao thought she was dead, she sighed quietly, “Chu Han.” Chu Han immediately responded, “Yes, miss.”
Bi Cao suddenly raised her heart, and her body shrank. I only heard Jiang Xiaolou smile very lightly: “It’s pitiful to see her like this, so I might as well give her a chance.”
Bi Cao’s ecstasy came to her heart: “Miss is merciful, slaves and maids never dare to make such a mistake again!”
Jiang Xiaolou lowered his eyes, raised his hand gently, looked at his crescent-colored nails, and said in a gentle and gentle manner: “However, after all, you should do something for me, right?”
Looking at the smile that seemed like a spring breeze, Bi Cao shuddered, and the whole body was cold.
Three days later, the palace was celebrated, the moon was calm, and the lanterns began to shine.
The banquet was held in the open-air garden to celebrate Jiang Xiaolou’s appointment as the Empress Empress, and also to officially introduce her to the nobles of the capital. Therefore, the guests gathered and the house was full of colors. The maids lit the gilt candlesticks, and the beauties’ lamps were dyed dimly light red, and they were shining everywhere, and the dark fragrance lingered. The ladies in the costumes were all beautifully decorated with gold and jade. They were clustered together, whispering to each other with the help of Qingluo’s small fan.
Jiang Xiaolou sat next to Princess Qing with a slight smile on his lips. His eyes were shining like stars, and there were no extra ornaments between her black hair. However, a hemerocallis phoenix hairpin inserted obliquely made her look slim and graceful, charming and peaceful. Just sitting there quietly, like Qionglin Yushu, dazzling.
People can’t help talking quietly: “Look, this Jiang Xiaolou is really beautiful.”
“Yes, she is beautiful and dignified. No wonder the princess treats her differently.”
“Originally, I heard that she was a daughter of a merchant family, and she came out of Xiaomen Xiaohu. She has never seen anything in the world. I still think that the princess is crazy this time. Why is she suddenly interested in such a person? Now it seems that we are too worried. , How special can be valued by the princess…”
“What do you know, the empress loves her very much!”
With a decent smile, Princess Qing introduced the noble ladies and daughters one by one to Jiang Xiaolou. The princess had also brought Li Xuening to such a scene before. Although she tried her best to put on a generous appearance, she still couldn’t hide her unhappy look. Princess Qing could see that Xue Ning didn’t like such occasions, especially when there were many people, she always seemed particularly lonely. Now compared to the long-sleeved dance, wide and gentle Jiang Xiaolou, Princess Qing couldn’t help but sigh. If she was with Xue Ning back then, she might not end up like that later.
At the bright candlelight, the attendant announced loudly: His Royal Highness has arrived.
King Qing immediately led the crowd to get up to greet him: “His Royal Highness is coming, and there is a long way to go.”
The prince has a long stature, a handsome face, a jade crown in his hair, and the embroidery on his belt is brilliant and brilliant. With a faint smile on his lips, his gaze swept across the soft face of Princess Qing, and landed on Jiang Xiaolou without a trace, and said, “I have come here to congratulate Princess Mingyue,” he patted gently. In the palm of his hand, the entourage next to him immediately took a red brocade box. When I opened it up, there was a white jade lotus flower, carved like a life, exquisitely carved, and shining brightly under the candlelight.
Jiang Xiaolou had a humble smile on his face: “Thank you for your kindness.”
Seeing Jiang Xiaolou’s natural and generous expression, the prince couldn’t help but look at her a few more times, and he couldn’t help thinking: Such a beauty will be discredited and ruined later. It is really pitiful. Thinking of this, he smiled deeper, and greeted Wang Qing before taking him to the main guest table.
Princess Qing watched the prince leave, then turned her head, smiled and said to the princess: “Princess princess, who is this next to you?”
Sure enough, there was a beautiful woman in gorgeous dress standing next to the princess. She was hidden behind the princess and was not noticeable. At this moment, when the princess Qing mentioned it, she walked forward Yingying. A white face, black lacquer eyes cold and squiggly, dressed in a lotus-colored plain brocade, the skirt is sent lightly with the night breeze, and there is a compelling beauty. She slowly raised her eyes to Jiang Xiaolou, with a smile blooming on her red lips.
The crown princess smiled: “This is the concubine Xie who has just been canonized.”
Xie Yuting came up curledly and saluted Princess Qing. Princess Qing quickly helped her and said, “Thank you, Concubine, don’t be polite.”
Xie Yu smiled slightly, but did not look at Jiang Xiaolou at all, but shyly said: “Congratulations on your beautiful lady, and enjoy the family.” When she said these eight characters, she looked gentle and smiled warmly. , A well-behaved and sensible beauty.
Princess Qing just nodded slightly, her face calmly: “Thanks to your good intentions, you have to be careful when you are pregnant.” After that, she instructed the maidservant: “Leave a table for Concubine Xie and tell the others. People are more careful, don’t be careless.”
“Yes”, the maid left.
No matter where the prince is standing, everyone will surround her and be close together, giving no room for others to step in. Xie Yu took this opportunity to walk to Jiang Xiaolou’s side.
Jiang Xiaolou looked at her with an invisible smile on his face, but was waiting for the other person to speak first.
“Long time no see.” Xie Yu’s smile is very lingering, but there is a faint stinger in this lingering smile, “Are you unhappy to see me, or unhappy that I am the prince’s side concubine, far above Above you?”
The corners of Jiang Xiaolou’s lips smile deeper, and the crown prince’s side concubine is not a beauty. For one thing, the prince concubine stares at him, and secondly, the beauty of the prince’s mansion is like a cloud, changing like a Qing dynasty. It is difficult to gain a foothold. However, she didn’t click it, but looked at each other with a smile, silent.
Xie Yu sighed, “I know you really want me to die, but unfortunately I can’t live as you wish, but fortunately.” When she said the word “live”, a plain face suddenly became angry and thin. The white teeth clenched the scarlet roots, and they looked three-point cruel and hideous. This expression was only for a moment, and she soon changed into a reserved smile, and her tone became softer: “However, at this banquet, you and I can be regarded as sympathetic to each other. Everyone here is flattering. , Secretly mocking our humble background.”
Jiang Xiaolou followed her gaze, and Mrs. Wen’anhou happened to cast a scornful look at this place, and she happened to have her eyes closed. She couldn’t help but smiled softly: “Is Concubine Xie come to me today for peace?”
The back of Xie Yu’s white hands under his long sleeves showed green veins, but there was an extremely ironed smile on his face: “You know, people always do something wrong when they are young, and sometimes they don’t. You are sometimes forced by fate. I am such a poor and weak woman. Because I am homeless, I have to stay in Xie’s Mansion. I fell in love with my eldest brother because of my confusion. I almost hurt my father because of jealousy… …I used to hold my head high and refused to admit defeat, but now I have figured it out and sincerely repent of my mistakes. I hope you can forgive me.”
Jiang Xiaolou was silent for a moment, and his eyes fell on a golden hairpin in Xie Yuwu’s hair. The fringed golden light was shining, and it was swaying by the wind on her beautiful cheeks, which looked extraordinarily gorgeous. Her eyes slowly rippled, but her voice was even colder than before: “Uncle Xie was kind to you. When you were homeless, he took you in. When everyone looked down on you, he insisted on protecting you. But you are not ashamed to say to him, because he has not given you enough, so you are full of hatred and unwillingness. No matter which law the father kills, it is bound to die! The evidence is solid! Under the circumstances, he didn’t even ask you to pay for your life! If you really repented, you should have knelt in front of the Buddha thousands of times, instead of standing here, wearing a brocade dress and head full of pearls, and discussing with me whether you regret it. Question! I tell you, you don’t need anyone to forgive, but you will always have guilt in your heart, because the person you are sorry for is your uncle, not me.”
Xie Yu’s face was faintly pale when she said that, the disappointment in her eyes was utterly utterly disappointed, and she bit her lips tightly and said: “So you still blame me.”
Jiang Xiaolou looked indifferent: “Xie side concubine has been worrying too much, there is no complaint between you and me.” She said that she smiled slightly and left straight away.
Xie Yu looked at her back, and a shallow layer of blood slowly appeared under her clear eyes. Her round and exquisite nails gently pinched a veil, concealed the fragrance powder floating on the tip of her nose, and smiled: “Jiang Xiaolou, if a person is too proud, he will definitely fall miserably and miserably.”
At the banquet, the spectacles were staggered and the cup was changed. King Qing was very gentle with Jiang Xiaolou in front of outsiders. He seemed to sincerely welcome Jiang Xiaolou to become a member of King Qing’s mansion, without any clues. When the other people in the Qing Palace saw this, they naturally followed the act, and were affectionate and considerate to Jiang Xiaolou, creating a happy scene.
At the climax of the banquet, a Tsing Yi attendant suddenly jumped out of the oblique stab, and fell in front of Jiang Xiaolou, crying and snotting, shouting: “Madam, I finally found you Up!”
When the voice went down, everyone looked over here in horror.
This uninvited guest was dressed in a blouse and a servant dress. His face was pretty handsome, but his face was vicissitudes of life, his temples were pale, and he looked downright. He came up to grab the hem of Jiang Xiaolou’s skirt, but was stepped on his finger by the sharp-eyed Xiaodie: “What are you doing, dare to be rude to our young lady!”
He was in severe pain for a while, desperately pulled out his hand, and yelled: “What is your lady, this is my wife!”
People gradually gathered around, with various emotions on their faces, surprised, shocked, inexplicable, gloating, contemptuous… Jiang Xiaolou became the target of public criticism, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on her.
She just looked at everything in front of her with an indifferent expression, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were shining, like a blooming red plum, otherwise the world is half full of fireworks.
King Qing’s expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily: “Where is the lunatic, don’t hesitate to get him up!” King Qing doesn’t care if Jiang Xiaolou has such a thing, even if it does, it is absolutely not allowed at this banquet. If such a mistake is made, the Qing Palace will become the laughing stock of the whole world. The guard of Prince Qing’s Mansion was about to rush up, but he heard the prince faintly speak: “Wait!”
King Qing looked at the prince with a complicated expression.
The prince glanced across Jiang Xiaolou, with a solemn expression: “This matter is of great importance, and it is directly related to the innocence of Mingyue Princess. You must ask clearly on the spot. Come, bring him up.”
As soon as the prince gave the order, the guards immediately stepped forward and led the man among the crowd. He faced everyone’s eyes, but he was not afraid, stalking his neck, and grinning mockingly at the corner of his mouth: “His Royal Highness, you say The beautiful and dignified Princess Mingyue is my wife who has been missing for two years. Her name is not Jiang Xiaolou, but Jiang Liniang! I grew up with Liniang as childhood sweethearts, fifteen years old. When I was in charge of my parents, she married me and her life was pretty good, but a flood in Liaozhou washed out all my belongings! I didn’t believe in evil, so I secretly took the belongings from my home and went out to pawn. , The result was a mess at the gambling table, and she was so desperate and blushing that she was taken out.”
A faint smile appeared on Xie Yu’s face, with a thin chill.
Everyone’s complexion changed. He kept saying that Jiang Xiaolou was his wife, and even knew that she was from Liaozhou, and Princess Qing’s complexion turned pale.
King Qing’s complexion changed several times, and he could no longer worry about the prince, and said sharply: “I don’t know where the **** came from, dare to slander the princess, hurry up, drag him out!”
The prince said slowly and rationally: “The prince doesn’t have to be impatient, he always has to get to the bottom so that he won’t wrong the princess. Princess Mingyue, let me ask you, do you know this person?”
Everyone in the Qing Palace looked different, Jiang Xiaoyun was surprised, He Liansheng smiled, Zuo Xuan was anxious, He Lianhui was silent, but Concubine Shun stood in the light and shadow, a white face, but his expression was extremely calm.
Facing the prince’s questioning, Jiang Xiaolou’s eyebrows and lips floated with a sneer: “His Royal Highness, why don’t you ask what evidence this person has?”
Princess Qing said immediately: “Yes, should he be nonsense, we have to believe him?”
It is rare for King Qing to stand on the same line with the princess, cross-brows and anger, and coldly reprimanded: “If you continue to talk nonsense like this, don’t blame me for ordering someone to break your legs!”
The man trembling, his face turned pale, but he insisted: “I remember – there was a mole on her back.”
As soon as this was said, the ladies could not help but hide their faces and whisper.
“Oh, it’s really embarrassing to say such things!”
“Yes, the business girl has no rules, and she doesn’t know when she provokes these desperadoes.”
“The face of Prince Qing’s Mansion made her lose her face, what golden branches and leaves, what Mingyue princess, she is a married village woman. Her morality is the first, and she never recognizes her husband…”
Anyone would panic, know what to do, and even feel extremely embarrassed under such contemptuous and disgusting eyes, but Jiang Xiaolou laughed, and the night breeze gently whipped her skirt corners, reflecting the gorgeous candlelight. The brilliance gave her the illusion of wanting to fly. She has a smile on her face, but her dark eyes are cool, with a refreshing coldness.
Fluttershy blurted out: “Nonsense, my lady doesn’t have moles on her waist at all!”
The man immediately said loudly: “Yes or not, you let her put on her clothes and see in public.”
“Bold!” The prince patted the table angrily, and his expression became extremely cold, “Sure enough, it is an unruly thing, how can you humiliate the dignified princess, palm!”
For a moment, two guards who looked like tigers and wolves pounced on him. He was berated by the thunderbolt. His mouth was puffed up and swollen, but he still did not forget to hiss at Jiang Xiaolou. Said: “Madam, I have travelled thousands of miles to find the capital. It is so easy to find out that you are here, how can you deny me! Although I did wrong, you can be a husband and wife for one night! You blame me for selling you, but you are now Didn’t you become the princess? Anyway, thinking about the love we shared in the bed, don’t let me live on the street, homeless!”
After a series of words were spoken, most of the people had believed it. Everyone knew that Jiang Xiaolou was from Liaozhou, but they didn’t know anything about her past experience. Now this person yelled all at once, but it became clear. It turns out that she is just a woman with a degraded family tradition. She will become a friend of Princess Yaoxue by fate. She has won the eyes of Princess Qing and is now the princess. People can look at her beauty and temperament, and forgive her for her humble background, but they can never forgive her for abandoning her husband and clinging to a high class.
Concubine Shun’s lips curled up with a touch of patience, her face was endlessly worried, and she whispered in comfort: “Princess Mingyue, it’s really shameful that this is happening like this! In my opinion, if you have anything to do with your husband, you might as well discuss it. …”
She kept saying the word “husband and wife”, and Princess Qing was furious and distressed for a while: “You still can’t stop talking!”
King Qing was already dizzy and full of anger: “It’s you who should shut up! You insisted on accepting this daughter yourself. Now it’s like this, it’s a shame!”
Jiang Xiaolou turned a deaf ear to everything about the outside world, just staring at the man condescendingly, curling up his mouth, as if laughing: “You keep saying that I am your wife, can you have any token to prove it?”
The man was taken aback, and immediately took out a veil from his arms and held it up high, “Look, this is the veil you embroidered by yourself. Would you forget it?”
Jiang Xiaolou took a look, and there was a quiet taunt on his face: “Oh, did I embroider it by myself?” Xiaodie grabbed the veil and showed it to Jiang Xiaolou.
Everyone saw Jiang Xiaolou dying to be struggling, and his face was full of disgust.
Concubine Shun sighed: “Princess Pearl, after all, is your own husband, how can you be so ruthless and righteous? Your heart is too…”
Xie Yu looked from a distance, couldn’t help being proud of her lips, this scene was really wonderful!
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes fell on the veil, but he sighed unconsciously, “Are you sure this is my veil?”
“Of course!” he insisted.
Jiang Xiaolou shook his head: “The peony on this veil is indeed embroidered with exquisite craftsmanship…It’s a pity that I don’t have the ability to embroider so wonderfully.”
Although Princess Qing couldn’t see the veil, she quickly explained to her: “Yes, she is not good at embroidering in Xiaolou. Usually the veil is custom-made from the Phoenix Building…”
King Qing said coldly: “Will it or not? She said it herself, who can stop her mouth!”
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes flowed around, and slowly said: “This satin is very familiar to me. It is the well-known Huzhou silk. Am I right?”
Immediately there was a sharp-eyed lady nodded: “Yes, this color and brightness are indeed Huzhou silk that was popular three years ago, but what does it matter?”
Jiang Xiaolou gently lifted the veil, and said with a smile: “Huzhou silk is exclusively for the capital and is of great value. I am far away in Liaozhou. How can there be such a precious thing, let alone according to what this person said, At that time, I was already surrounded by families, how can I buy such a luxurious thing for me?”
The man was stunned for a while, his mouth opened wide, looking extremely ridiculous.
Jiang Xiaolou is not ill or slow, only his eyes are amazingly bright: “The peonies on the veil are vivid and vivid, and they are clearly painted with needles. Can anyone of you recognize this embroidery method?”
When everyone heard this, they became suspicious for a while and gathered around. Ms. Zhang from Youzongren’s Mansion looked at it for a long time and exclaimed: “This is the boudoir embroidery of Niang Wen Shiliu. She created her own embroidery method using embroidery as a painting, and the real embroidery craftsmanship is unique in the world!”
Wen Shiliu Niang has been learning embroidery since she was a child, and her embroidery skills are unique and difficult for others to imitate. Speaking of which, she is still the head embroiderer of Fengchuan Peony Pavilion, and that is exactly the Xie family’s property…
Like a torrent of cold water pouring down her head and face, Xie Yu stood up suddenly, and turned over the wine cup in front of her without notice.
Jiang Xiaolou slowly said: “Ms. Wen Sixteen has always been proud and arrogant, and she cherishes her wings. Countless people come to ask for advice but are turned away. Only Uncle Xie can invite her. Unfortunately, learning boudoir embroidery requires extremely high talent. The other ladies of the Xie family have not learned it for a long time, and the only one who has her true knowledge… is Miss Xie Si. Concubine Xie, look at the jade belt around the prince’s waist, and the peony on the pae, are all made by one person.”
Concubine Shun was stunned, her heart beating fast and fast, and she couldn’t help but tighten her veil.
Dou Da’s sweat beaded from Xie Yu’s temples. She felt dizzy and her voice faintly trembled: “Jiang Xiaolou, what do you mean?”
