Chapter 166 Shocking Lan
The bluestone slabs on Dongsheng Street are filled with wet moisture.
The two of them collided with their eyes, and the bustling crowds of people, and the shouts of vendors seemed to be mixed with rays of uneasiness.
Li Zhao's eyes were filled with a tide...
The face under the black jade crown has a brilliant outline, the crow's eyelashes slightly drooping, and the eyes are as scorching as fireworks.
"Do you want to buy a bouquet of flowers?" A flower girl walked towards Li Zhao with a crisp voice, holding up the bamboo basket in her master's hand, "The hibiscus flowers bloom and fall in the evening, making the most beautiful woman..."
Li Zhao held the reins' hand, tightened slightly unconsciously, and his cold eyes looked over like a sharp blade—
Just as the horse sniffed impatiently, the flower-selling girl was so scared that she trembled all over. The bamboo basket in her hand slid down, and the hibiscus flowers scattered all over the ground.
Li Zhao:...
Seeing this, Xue Sui quickly pulled down the curtain.
With a "swish", the hot sight was blocked.
She looked cold until the carriage drove across the long street, and then quietly lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out--
Under the flags of the wine shop, the figure riding a horse disappeared.
The flower girl ran happily in the crowd with empty bamboo blue, and ran into the alley with a smile. I think those scattered flowers were sold for a good price...
Xue Sui breathed a sigh of relief and leaned on the wall of the car.
Can't calm down.
The emotions in my chest were surging, as if there were subtle palpitations, uncontrollable.
She clenched her fingers slightly...
I thought to myself: Could it be that the love silk pot is really effective, not fooling Li Zhao? It seems that I have to find an opportunity to ask Senior Sister Yuheng to understand.

Wen Jia is waiting for her in Yanyu Tower.
Xue Sui took Xiao Zhao and walked around the second floor corridor. Just as he was about to turn, he saw Lu Youan standing in front of the door.
He was wearing a moon-white shirt, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and his voice was full of guilt: "Lu is really ashamed, and he has implicated the princess again..."
Wen Jia leaned against the window, her face pale, "Since Mr. Lu knows that he is implicated, why should he meet again? Do you think there are not enough gossip outside? Pingle wants my life, but you give me a dull knife."
Lu Youan wanted to speak but stopped.
"It's me that's not good..."
Wen Jia sneered, her lips were full of sarcasm.
"Young Master Lu, please come back."
She has changed a lot now, and she would never have shown these emotions before...
Lu Youan shook his head slightly, finally sighed, placed it carefully on the threshold, then bowed and said, "There are two northern snow ginsengs in the box, which is of great benefit to Wan Zhaoyi's body..."
Wen Jia looked cold.
Lu Youan said with a sincere look, "It is Lu's apology."
"Mr. Lu doesn't owe me anything." Wen Jia's tone was plain, "I will get back the debts owed by others one by one, so I won't bother you."
Lu Youan was slightly stunned, sighed, and turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned into the corridor, he met Xue Sui head-on.
Xue Sui smiled and called out, "Young Master Lu."
Lu Youan knew that she had witnessed the situation just now and was a little embarrassed. He quickly saluted and said, "Madam Ping'an, don't be safe."
Xue Sui looked at his red cheeks and suddenly smiled.
"If Mr. Lu is intent, don't give up easily. In my opinion, the one who can save Princess Wenjia is still you, Mr.."
Lu Youan smiled with difficulty, nodded slightly, and said goodbye and left.
Xue Sui watched his back disappear at the end of the corridor, and waited for a while before slowly walking over.
She was afraid that Wen Jia would be embarrassed, and her expression was natural, as if she had never encountered Lu Youan...
Unexpectedly, Wen Jia did not treat her as an outsider and said bluntly as usual.
"Pingan, what kind of person did he treat me as? When I fell in love with him, he retreated. Now I am disheartened, but he came to show kindness. Could it be that he saw that I was pitiful and came to give me a gift?"
"I look at Mr. Lu, I feel a little sincere." Xue Sui leaned over and picked up the snow ginseng and stuffed it into Wen Jia's arms, suddenly looking forward to it-
If Lu Youan admitted in public that he had always liked Wen Jia, not Ping Le. Then, in Pingle's crazy questioning, defending Wen Jia, what was Pingle's angry look like? What will Concubine Xiao react?
Wen Jia shook her head, "Whether it's true or false, what's the point now? I have nothing to do with him. I have been so ugly that I have to take it seriously and I will not be chewed with my tongue?"
"That rotten one is also their tongue." Xue Sui smiled and said, "As long as you two treat each other sincerely, are you still worried that there will be no day to make your name clear?"
Wen Jia looked at her and sighed quietly.
"I won't mention these troubles for now. Seeing that the Queen Mother's grandmother's birthday is approaching, I am still worried about the birthday ceremony..."
On the 70th birthday, for an old lady who is used to seeing the rare treasures in the world, how could she fall in love with something ordinary in front of the mountain of gifts?
The two-meter-long embroidered scroll of Medicine King Sutra was originally extremely shocking...
Wen Jia thought of this and shook her head gently, "Forget it, she has never looked at me differently for so many years. It doesn't matter if she goes out to me again... It's just that she is safe, I'm afraid she will let you down. I can't please the Queen Mother..."
Xue Sui smiled softly.
Motionally Xiao Zhao to take out the gift he brought.
"It doesn't matter if you lose the birthday ceremony, the empress dowager loves to listen to stories more."
The silk slowly unfolded, and a picture of "The Immortal Eggs' Birthday Show" came into view.
The fairy's clothes are graceful, and the longevity peach is bright in color and is lush and shiny. The most wonderful thing is that the face of the old woman in the painting is actually seventy-sixth-particularly similar to that of the empress dowager.
"This is the original work of the previous dynasty's painting saint Ye Fuzhou." Xue Sui gently tapped the cinnabar seal at the inscription with his fingertips, "The Empress Dowager worships the Buddha and prays for immortality. When offering the painting, you only need to mention one sentence - this painting was once dedicated to Penglai Pavilion for three hundred years, and received all the incense and spiritual energy."
Wen Jia was stunned, "Does she believe it?"
Xue Sui: "As long as the story is told well, what's wrong with not believing it?"
She stroked the old woman's face and said lightly: "There are many experts in the court who are proficient in calligraphy and painting. At that time, Pingle will definitely try every means to make people falsified..."
"Then is this painting real?" Wen Jia asked.
"If you believe it is true, it must be true."
Seeing Xue Suiping and gentle smiles, Wen Jia suddenly turned red in her eyes and held her hand, "Ping An, how should I thank you?"
"You and I are in the same boat through thick and thin, so there is no need to thank you." Xue Sui smiled.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Xue Sui's eyes flirted with a slight hint of darkness. "I will also enter the palace on the day of my birthday. Princess is bold, don't be afraid."
Wen Jia nodded firmly, "I listen to you."
-
After parting with Wen Jia, Xue Sui went to Xue Mansion.
Old Mrs. Cui was drinking medicine, and when she saw her coming, she complained, saying that Xue Yueying didn't know how to be careful and ruined her family tradition. Xue Qingzhi sat next to her, silently silenced.
Xue Sui knew in his heart that the old lady was actually saying this to Xue Qingzhi, so he immediately began to comfort her with kind words.
Old Mrs. Cui sighed and talked about Xue Yueman's marriage.
"The Duke of Zheng State was implicated in the affairs of Luo Huan. This marriage is now unresolved, I am afraid it will be delayed again..."
Xue Qingzhi then spoke, "After today's court discussion, my son and Duke Zheng left the palace together, and his son had a shameless face to discuss his in-laws with him. At first, Duke Zheng was accused of absent from time to time, but he did not give a clear answer. Later, his son had to force him to say a few harsh words, but he didn't know how he weighed the pros and cons, so he agreed..."
Old Mrs. Cui was stunned and showed a smile on her face.
"Enemy! Why didn't you say it earlier?"
After saying that, she looked at Xue Sui with a smile and said to Madam Wang beside her, "I just said that Liu Yatou is the reincarnation of Fuxing? Look, as soon as she comes back, there will be good things..."
Xue Qingzhi's face was slightly stiff, "Duke Zheng made a request..."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Old Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "Request? The boy in their family ruined the reputation of our girl. It was his family who was in the wrong, and he was still embarrassed to make a request..."
"With that being said..."
Xue Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, "Our family is a girl, and we will suffer a loss."
Old Mrs. Cui sighed and nodded helplessly.
"Tell me, what did that old guy mention again?"
Xue Qingzhi frowned, as if it was difficult to speak, so he asked his servants to go out. He wanted to send Xue Liu out, but Old Mrs. Cui didn't give in, so he said hesitantly:
"They want to send someone to test their health to make sure that the eighth girl is still virgin...and..."
"What else?" Old Mrs. Cui was so angry that her hands shook.
"If you don't fall into a good fortune on the wedding day, you will be out. If you have no children in three years after the marriage, you will be out. If you don't follow your parents, you will be out, you will be out, you will be out, you will be out of your parents, you will be jealous, you will be out of your troubles, or you will suffer from serious illnesses."
This test of virginity, which is even more "out" than seven out, is simply trampling the face of the girl in the Xue family on the ground.
Mrs. Cui is a very decent person. She is so angry that she can't speak, but she can't find any rebuttal.
Xue Qingzhi said: "It is a blessing that this marriage can be accomplished. The eighth girl doesn't have to be a concubine. The eighth girl carries a sedan chair back in the palace of Duke Zheng. The Xue family has all the money and face. As for the matter of testing, the Zheng Dao Mansion will not make any statement..."
"Hmph, I beat my front teeth and swallowed it into my stomach, who can I blame?" Old Mrs. Cui said with resentment, "Isn't it that your fourth girl who caused trouble for ruining the lintel of the Xue family and also ruining the eighth girl. Later on, Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi said he was kissing, but I'm afraid she would suffer too..."
Xue Qingzhi had a calm face and refused to speak.
Old Mrs. Cui pointed at him and taught him a lesson.
"Don't say anything harsh to me, let Duke Zheng let go. Thank you very much for the Sixth Girl you owe. She has been dealing with the Bayashi in Duke Zheng's Mansion..."
Although Xue Yuechen was the one who sent the message back that day, Old Mrs. Cui is now sure that Xue Sui is a lucky star and takes all good things to her.
Xue Qingzhi took an unnaturally at Xue Sui.
"You are also considerate and help your elder sister more in the future. Only when brothers and sisters are harmonious and friendly can the family prosper."
Xue Sui wanted to laugh when she heard this.
Where is the face?
She was about to smile without laughing, and there was an indescribable sarcasm. Xue Qingzhi didn't know whether it was embarrassment or guilty, so he left.
Xue Sui talked with the old lady in Shou'an Courtyard for a while, and then greeted Qian. After eating the Fengsheng family table arranged by Qian, she slowly returned home in a carriage.
At night, as soon as the lights of Tan Qiuyuan were turned off, Lingyu flew back.
He also brought back Li Zhao's secret letter.
"Isn't there no one else? Because of Wei Zi."
This is what she responds to her saying, "The wind and rain are like darkness, and the roosters crow"?
The arrogant prince was mocking her for being arrogant and told her disdain that Li Zhao was not necessarily her. If it weren't for her being his old friend, the noble prince would have disdained her at all.
So who is it? The aftermath of the love silk Gu.
Xue Sui smiled lightly, folded the letter paper into a small boat, and placed it in the celadon fish tank in front of the bookshelf, watching it carry the lights slowly.
-
Early the next morning, the embroiderer from the needle and thread room came to measure the size.
Xue Yuechen also followed him.
She asked about the recent situation of the people in the Xue family and was also happy for Xue Yueman's marriage. "After the marriage has been settled, our wishes are not in vain. I just hope that the eighth sister will be harmonious and happy after marriage."
Xue Sui pursed her lips and smiled slightly, without saying much.
Xue Yuechen noticed the fatigue in her expression and said with concern: "Sixth sister has been too busy recently, and she feels really distressed..."
As he said that, he asked the girl to present a sandalwood box with a set of dresses stacked inside.
"This new garment with gold brocade is suitable for wearing during the Queen Mother's birthday. If you try it, it will not fit, so that the embroiderer can modify it quickly..."
This material is extremely expensive, and Xue Yuechen is willing to take it out for her.
It can be seen that she is a bit sincere to Xue Sui now.
Xue Sui smiled and thanked her, gently stroked the smooth fabric, "Sister gave me the good stuff, what should I wear?"
Xue Yuechen smiled and said, "I should not be too arrogant at this age. I am already in front of the Queen Mother, and I am already an old face and I don't care about anything I wear. This is the first time you are attending a palace banquet, so you have to dress up..."
Xue Sui smiled slightly, remembering the white jade hairpin on Princess Ruihe's temples, and turned around and called Xiao Zhao, "Put that sky-blue silk dress..."
The clothes were exquisitely crafted, and the lines of ginkgo leaves were shining with a soft luster in the sunlight.
She praised Xue Yuechen, "Sister loves you very much, Xue Liu should give you a gift. Sister, look, if you like it, just take it and wear it..."
Xue Yuechen was greatly surprised.
Xue Liu can actually take out such a good thing...
Didn’t she say that she lived in the Jonglingshu for many years and lived in poverty?
She gently walked the fabric around her snow-white wrists and said in surprise and joy: "This color is very consistent with my skin tone. The material is delicate and smooth, not luxurious, but has a unique charm. My sister likes it tightly."
Xue Sui said: "It's good if my sister likes it."
Xue Yue's eyes were crescent, as if there was suddenly a little more girlish playfulness, and she blinked at her.
"Then wait for the birthday, we sisters will be in the palace with a beautiful charm..."
Li Zhao: Isn’t there anyone else? Because of Wei Zi. It mainly reflects the prince's "resentment but not anger, gentleness and consideration"~~
Xue Sui: Bah!
