Lin Qishu's expression was not good, but she couldn't get angry in front of so many noble ladies. Her coy behavior made Xie Fengyue look sideways.
"What is a moon girl?" She was full of curses in her heart.
Xie Fengyue smiled apologetically at her.
The shadows of the trees were mottled, and the sunlight fell on her face through the gaps, making the shadows extremely graceful.
Lin Qishu was stunned by her smile, and by accident, she nodded and said softly: "Sister Yue?" The end of her voice rose, and there was a hint of doubt in her question.
Xie Fengyue squeezed her hand, "Well~Sister Lin."
Baoyang saw the two people's behavior and said with a smile: "Sister Lin and this moon girl have known each other not long ago, and they are so close?"
Lin Qishu came back to her senses after hearing this: "Baoyang, do you want to pile up all the gold, silver and jade ornaments from your princess's house on you today?"
Baoyang had long been accustomed to Lin Qishu's words having thorns in them. She smiled nonchalantly: "My father, the emperor, my mother and my concubine have rewarded me with so many pearls and jade. Wouldn't it be a pity if I don't wear them?"
The girls secretly watched the confrontation between the two, neither stopping nor interfering. Such fun was in vain. After all, the life of a noble girl was very boring. Even Liu Jiaojiao, who had always been pampered and arrogant, was Shut up and say nothing, half-covering your face with a veil and watching quietly.
The sun was gradually coming up, and the girls spread out, in twos and threes, in the shade.
Lin Qishu was full of things she wanted to ask Xie Fengyue, so she pulled her and walked towards the shade of the tree, but Baoyang was like a dog-skin plaster, keeping his heels on his heels.
"What's going on with Sister Lin? Are you only interested in your Sister Yue now? Are you even interested in your Sister Baoyang?" she asked with a smile on her face.
Lin Qishu was so annoyed that she pointed at the Beiyuan delegation in the distance and said: "As a royal princess, don't you go to accompany Princess Ya from Beiyuan? Why are you following me all the time? Can't you see that your brother is over there? ”
Baoyang looked in the direction she pointed.
Princess Ya was dressed in a fiery red Hufu, with her hair tied high at the end. She was talking to a man with her back to them. Looking from a distance, the man looked like Rongan Bo Weining.
A few days ago, the incident between Lin Qishu and Wei Ning caused a lot of rumors in Shengjing City. Although the Wei family claimed that they were drinking with Prince Yelu and Princess Yelu at Qiuyiwu that day, it was just that Princess Yelu was too drunk. After a while, Wei Ning accompanied her outside to sober up.
But everyone is not a fool, so how many people can believe this excuse used to quell rumors.
"You want me to find a place for you to humiliate Weining?" Baoyang asked.
Lin Qishu's face darkened: "Can you please stop mentioning him? It's unlucky."
Baoyang deeply agreed: "It's really unlucky. You are also a noblewoman of a wealthy family, and you can actually like Wei Ning. His family's title is obviously the only one of his generation, and you are so hot-tempered but cold-blooded, tsk tsk."< br>
Seeing Lin Qishu about to roll up his sleeves, Baoyang quickly apologized and smiled: "Come on, I'll go to them right now, don't look so miserable."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the Beiyuan Mission, regardless of Lin Qishu calling her from behind.
Xie Fengyue's eyes were dim as she watched Baoyang leave.
Baoyang does have the confidence to be arrogant. Unlike Zhou Shuyi, she lives by the favor of Emperor Zhou. Baoyang's concubine Yu Guifei was recommended by the Jiangnan family to enter the palace. Behind her stands the entire Jiangnan There are large and small aristocratic families, and her brother is the upright and upright Prince Zhou.
As soon as her honor guard arrived at the Beiyuan Mission, the palace maid and eunuch serving there fell to her knees.
From a distance, only Yeluya, Yelujing, Weining and Prince Zhou were left standing, like four single seedlings growing on dry land. They were far apart, and Xie Fengyue and Lin Qishu couldn't hear what the others were saying. They saw Yeluya pulling out his whip again, but was stopped by Wei Ning. Then he slowly knelt down on his knees and faced Bao Bao. Yang performed the courtesy.
Lin Qishu frowned when he saw it. It was rare for the Qian'an gentry to kneel down and kowtow as ministers. This kind of etiquette was required after the Zhou family successfully usurped the throne through the hands of the aristocratic family, except for the ceremony to worship the heaven or when the feudal country came to congratulate them. Apart from face, it exists in name only.
Now that Wei Ning had performed such a grand ceremony in front of everyone, he still felt very uncomfortable.
Baoyang turned his head and raised his handkerchief towards Xie Fengyue, as if asking for credit from Lin Qishu.
Lin Qishu tightened her handkerchief and gritted her teeth: "This Baoyang is really abominable!"
A faint smile appeared on Lin Fengyue's lips, and she suggested: "How about we go over and have a look, lest Princess Baoyang does too much and make it difficult for you to be a good person."
"Let's go!" she responded vigorously.
The distance gradually closes.
Xie Fengyue's hands hidden under her wide sleeves couldn't stop trembling. She was so excited and couldn't wait to see her brother's expression.
The girl was wearing an exquisite brocade skirt, the sunlight filtered through the tulle, and the silvery silk threads shimmered on her skirt.
Her face is bright, charming and charming, her steps are light and she leaves picturesque footprints on the blue and white tiles, attracting the attention of everyone around her. In the suddenly quiet air, the only sound was the sound of her clothes gently brushing against each other's jade.
When Xie Fengyue arrived in front of the Beiyuan Mission, Wei Ning still maintained his kneeling posture and kowtowed.
She whispered: "Princess Baoyang, why don't you let Uncle Wei go first? There are many girls here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Ning, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head, and the girl's familiar face bumped into his eyes. His pupils shrank suddenly, and the corners of his lips trembled visibly.
"Yue'er.."
The first person to react was not Lin Qishu, but Yeluya who was beside Wei Ning. Her voice was sharp and her sapphire blue eyes were slightly narrowed: "Yue'er? Are you shouting so affectionately?"
She crackled the nine-section whip in her hand and asked again: "What month?"
Xie Fengyue smiled very appropriately. At this time, a lot of eyes were gathered on her, and it was no wonder that she had dressed up carefully.
"Uncle Wei knows me?"
Wei Ning's throat rolled, and his eyes flashed with indescribable emotions. After taking a deep look at her, he said, "I'm lucky enough to have seen the portrait of the girl."
She smiled sweetly and replied: "Uncle, I have received the portrait of the direct branch of the Xie family. I happened to record it as the direct branch years ago. It is a coincidence."
"Yeah." Wei Ning's response was almost inaudible. He was still kneeling on his knees, but now he no longer had the proud posture before. His shoulders were drooped, and his straight back was also bent.
Baoyang's eyes wandered around the two of them, and finally he said to Xie Fengyue: "You are really the girl of the Xie family in Chenjun."
With red lips and white teeth, she claims to be the daughter of the Xie family of Chen County, but her sincerity cannot be compared with the evidence from others. What she wants in this trip is to clear her name, in every sense of the word.
"It turns out that the princess misses me so much." Xie Fengyue looked lonely and lowered her head as she said.
