Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C177
Accompanying the news of the engagement was the emperor’s uneasiness.
The joy and jubilation in the eyes of the people on the Ji Mansion were all firmly suppressed by the dragon body. The Mrs. Ji only quietly made people change the lanterns on the pillars to red, and the rest were all the same. Even Ji Lingyun’s dowry was silently prepared, he did not dare make any noise.
He was afraid that he would be crowned with a title that was greatly disrespectful to the Emperor.
Ji Lingyun was filled with happiness and joy, but on the surface she did not show it, even the neighboring Deputy Minister Zhu’s house did not know of such an important matter.
Until three days before the wedding, when Zhu Shishi left the palace while sitting in her palanquin, unwittingly raised her head, and suddenly discovered that there was actually two bright red lanterns hanging in front of the Ji Mansion’s gate.
Ji Lingyun’s brothers and sisters were all married, the sudden red lantern was something that could only be prepared for Ji Lingyun.
Zhu Shishi frowned, she then called her servant over, and ordered her to immediately ask which house’s young master the Ji Family’s Fourth Miss was going to marry.
Zhu Shishi had always loved to compete with Ji Lingyun, so she naturally had to compete in matters of marriage.
She stopped her palanquin and waited at the entrance of the alleyway. Not long later, a maidservant hurriedly ran back, and she was so tired that she was gasping for breath, “Miss, the Attendant s of the Ji Mansion said that … that Miss Ji is going to marry a Seventh Prince.”
“Seventh Prince?!” Zhu Shishi was both shocked and anxious, she immediately slapped the palanquin, “Return to the palanquin! Hurry and go back to your residence! ”
However, just as the sedan was lifted, before he could take two steps, it fell again.
Zhu Shishi’s palanquin had not been opened, but when she heard Ji Lingyun’s voice from outside, she immediately shouted out: “Long time no see, I never thought that it would be such a coincidence, today when I went out to buy peanut butter, did you meet big sister?”
Zhu Shishi’s face was even darker than the bottom of a pot as she sat in the palanquin. She stroked her hair, revealing a smile that was once again on her face.
Without waiting for Ji Lingyun to reply, Zhu Shishi’s eyes turned, and she could not hold back and asked: “Look at the decorations and lights on the Ji Mansion, is there any good news?”
“Where are the lanterns and decorations? There are only two more lanterns hanging.” Ji Lingyun was overjoyed in her heart. She had not finished eating, the moment she heard the Miss next door was asking about the situation in the residence, she immediately flung her chopsticks and ran out, waiting for Zhu Shishi to ask her.
It was a joyous occasion for Ji Lingyun to be married to the Seventh Prince. She really wanted to say it out loud and let the news spread to all the women in the capital.
It was a pity that the Emperor’s dragon body was not good enough for such a happy occasion to be arranged. She could only quietly sink to the bottom. How could she endure this?
Fortunately, this Zhu Shishi was able to make her happy and proud once.
Ji Lingyun continued: “As long as you can marry him, it’s fine. I’m not asking for this wedding banquet to be so lively. But big sister, you must come. ”
Seeing Ji Lingyun’s bashful and satisfied look, Zhu Shishi’s heart trembled, and slowly said: “He …. “Who is it?”
“Didn’t Sister already send someone to investigate?” Ji Lingyun raised an eyebrow, “Naturally, it’s Seventh Prince.”
Zhu Shishi’s face was extremely ugly, only then did she understand, Ji Lingyun was deliberately showing off.
“It will be hard on you. Every now and then, you will be pestered by Madam Zhu to enter the palace to curry favor with the Empress. It’s a pity that the Empress doesn’t like you at all!” Ji Lingyun was too lazy to continue pretending, “What’s the use of arguing? In the end, this Seventh Prince is still marrying me! ”
“You!” Zhu Shishi was so angry that smoke was coming out of her seven orifices, and her heart was about to break.
Her personal servant saw that her young miss’ expression was not right, and immediately called for the carriage driver to leave, bowing down as she said to Ji Lingyun: “Young miss Ji, my clan’s young miss still has matters to attend to, please forgive me for not accompanying you.”
Ji Lingyun smiled lightly: “Sister must come at that time! I also need to hurry up and leave as well. I heard from the old granny at the palace that eating a peanut butter before entering the bridal chamber will make my stomach even better. I need to hurry up and give birth to a pair of children for the Seventh Prince! ”
Looking at the sedan chair that was quickly leaving, Ji Lingyun’s heart was overjoyed, but not long later, her happy expression dropped. She waved to the servant girl beside him to call her over: “Is that Jin Xiaolou from Linlang Workshop still following by Seventh Prince’s side?”
Little Maid was startled, and immediately shook her head: “This, this servant doesn’t know.”
Ji Lingyun took in a deep breath. Naturally, the person she married would be her official wife, the Seventh Imperial Concubine. However, she felt disgust at that time when she looked at Jin Xiaolou.
Ji Lingyun went out every few days, afraid that she would meet Du Jing the most. A man and a woman went out in public … Like what?
Fortunately, he hadn’t seen him much in the past few days, otherwise, the Seventh Prince would have seen him and made him unhappy.
“Go and find out!” Ji Lingyun instructed, “Look at what happened to Jin Xiaolou and the Seventh Prince!”
Ji Lingyun had already made her plans, she naturally could not do anything to Jin Xiaolou right now, but once she marries into the Profound Handle Inner Palace, the first thing she would do, would be to find a reason to get rid of Jin Xiaolou.
In front of the Rainbow Garden gate, just as Nan Yang was about to leave, he saw a strange Little Maid behind a big tree.
Nan Yang squinted her eyes, and lightly leaned over, as she heard the servant whisper: “What happened to Boss Jin’s and Seventh Prince’s? Boss Jin still indiscriminately resides in Rainbow Garden? ”
Nan Yang laughed coldly, and coughed lightly.
Attendant was so frightened that his entire body shivered,he turned his head and saw Nan Yang, she immediately knelt down: “Sister Nan Yang, I … “I didn’t say anything. It was her, he was the one who insisted on asking me …”
“Enough!” Nan Yang raised her hand, “Get up.”
Just as Attendant stood up, a silver ingot rolled out from his chest. He did not even dare to pick up the silver and immediately left with his head bowed.
Nan Yang hurriedly shouted, “Pick up the silver, leave the Rainbow Garden yourself and don’t ever come back again.”
When the Attendant heard this, his face turned ashen, but he did not dare to say another word.
The Little Maid in front of him was shaken by Nan Yang’s aura and started to tremble as well.
However, Nan Yang had already slipped through her collar. “I haven’t even asked you, where are you going?”
“I… I’m not… “Why does your servant girl have to listen to your words …” Little Maid’s mouth was quite hard.
Nan Yang laughed: “This servant has two personalities, but you are only allowed to ask about my family’s matters, and you don’t allow me to ask about your matters? There is no such unfair logic in this world! ”
Nan Yang released her hand, and spoke to the servant: “Speak, which family do you belong to, and ask about Seventh Prince’s intentions?”
Little Maid was still stubborn: “I didn’t ask about your manor, I was only talking to that Attendant … Speak to him and have a casual chat with him! ”
“Hmph.” Nan Yang snorted, “Alright, since you don’t want to say it, then I’ll have to capture you!”
As he said that, he flipped his wrist, and suddenly grabbed Little Maid’s shoulder, pinch forward, causing Little Maid to perspire in pain.
“To investigate the affairs of a prince … even if I were to beat the crap out of him to death, it wouldn’t be too bad.”
Once Nan Yang said that, the servant was so scared that she could not even close her mouth anymore. Her eyes reddened and she said quickly: “I … I am the personal servant of the Fourth Miss of the Ji Mansion, in three days, we will be people of the same residence, I am just here to ask you about the situation! ”
“Fourth Miss Ji?” Nan Yang frowned, “Ji Lingyun?”
“That’s right!” Little Maid bit her lips and then loosened her hand, stopping her tears. Her thoughts spun again and again, re-energizing herself, “You are called Nan Yang, right? From today onwards, my young miss will be the Seventh Royal Consort, we are both servants of the same house, we might have to deal with each other a lot.”
Nan Yang laughed and threw Little Maid onto the ground. “You wish! You want to be under the same roof as me? I’m afraid you won’t have the chance in your life! ”
Little Maid rubbed her painful elbow and raised her head. “Big sister Nan Yang, I call you big sister. In the future, you will have to serve my Young Miss.
The meaning of her words could not be clearer, but Nan Yang still continued to smile, “Not only are you dreaming, your young miss is also dreaming. Of the wives in our Rainbow Garden, only Jin Xiaolou will be able to enter the Rainbow Garden? hmph hmph, let’s have her dreams! ”
“You!” Little Maid knows that she cannot defeat Nan Yang, but she was not lightly angered, “This marriage was arranged by Empress, and Seventh Prince agreed to it personally.
Seeing that the smile on Nan Yang’s face had gradually disappeared, the Little Maid crawled up from the ground and ran far away as soon as she raised her leg. After running for a while, she stood still and shouted at the blurry figure standing at the entrance of the Rainbow Garden: “Just you wait, once my Young Miss enters the Rainbow Garden, I will slowly take care of you!”
After saying that, in fear that Nan Yang would catch him again, she quickly turned around and ran away.
Nan Yang clapped her hands, and turned to walk back into the garden. The item Seventh Elder asked her to order was already set, and was currently at the gatehouse.
Several boxes that were carved from purple sandalwood were heavy and heavy, Nan Yang was unable to carry them all alone. She immediately called for some Attendant s and brought them to the Bi Wu Hall.
Jin Xiaolou did not go to the brothel today. Taking advantage of the clear weather and the sunlight, she brought Lin’er out to play in the garden. When she looked up, he saw a group of people carrying several big boxes into the brothel.
For a long time, Sleeping Cloud did not say anything. The more he hesitated, the more doubtful he became.
Jin Xiaolou placed the drawing book in her hand onto the stone table, and looked at Zhi Yun with a serious gaze: “What exactly happened?”
“Servant …” This slave also heard it from Big Sister Nan Yang. ” However, he still felt that it was a bit hard to say. Since he was forced into a corner, and had no other choice, he could only pour it out, “Say that in three days, Seventh Elder will marry that young miss of the Minister of Revenue.”
Jin Xiaolou suddenly stood up. It was unknown whether it was because she had risen up too quickly or because she had been agitated. Her head was spinning, and she couldn’t stand up straight, and fell backwards.
