Just as he was talking, the young boy leading the horse walked over and saluted the Demon Mother: "Miss Mo, the young master is busy today and has too many people to accompany him. He can't spare any time, so let the little one do it."
Let’s take the young lady to the palace first.”
The demon girl nodded, curved her lips and said thank you.
However, Yan'er was even happier than the real owner of the Demon Lady. She took the boy to inquire about Qu Luo's whereabouts, and she was quite happy along the way.
The carriage was covered with a thick fur blanket, and the devil girl leaned on it, trying not to look so pale.
After swaying, he closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while.
When we arrived at the palace, young ladies and young men from other families had already arrived. Looking from a distance, their eyes were filled with beautiful clothes.
The palace maids and eunuchs, wearing brightly colored court uniforms, shuttled back and forth in the carefully decorated ancient pavilion. Although they were busy, there was no confusion at all. Those who carried teapots, those who served fruits, and those who were well-trained lined up in a row to display various snacks.
After getting on the long sandalwood table, as my sleeves danced, I seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance of tea.
The emperor hasn't come yet, and the queen doesn't seem to be here either. The young masters and ladies are sitting opposite each other, not far apart, talking and laughing with each other.
The young men are looking at which family's young ladies are more delicate and beautiful.
The ladies are looking to see which family's young men are more handsome and richer.
This is the upper class circle in the capital.
It's like this every year.
They also come from prominent backgrounds, and are already familiar with how to make good connections and please people.
Their father, who was an official in the court, paved a bright road for their future.
The young masters have achieved great success in officialdom and have made numerous military exploits.
Young ladies marry into good families and enjoy endless glory and wealth...
They know better than anyone else how they should behave in the future, so they know etiquette and how to look at people's status.
Just like now, the place where she once sat has been replaced by a young lady from the Nangong family.
Where is her place?
The demon girl smiled and walked over.
The chatter and laughter in the ancient pavilion broke out in an instant, and everyone's eyes moved over, showing sympathy, surprise, confusion, and contempt...
The Demon Lady had anticipated such a scene the moment she received the imperial edict.
In this circle, it is always like this. When you are powerful, many people rush to come forward to curry favor with you.
When you are down and out, everyone will want to step on you.
The devil knows that this is just the beginning...
Yan'er couldn't stand it, and awkwardly followed behind the demon girl, holding her coat tightly with her fingers. Her face was stained pink with shame. She never expected that this would be the case.
The way these people looked at them was so strange, as if they were just toads from somewhere. The disdain in their eyes was so clear and obvious that it was difficult to ignore them.
"Miss..." Yan'er couldn't stop her legs from shaking, and the thought of turning around and wanting to leave kept going back and forth in her mind.
The Demon Lady lowered her head and spoke in a calm and comforting voice: "If you really feel uncomfortable staying here, just go and wait at the entrance of the Royal Garden."
"I...I'm not feeling uncomfortable..." Yan'er's hands holding the white handkerchief clenched into a ball: "I, I'm afraid of losing the lady's face, so I'd better go to the door and wait."
The demon girl hummed with a slight smile and looked away from the figure running towards the arch. Her back was as straight as ever, like a blue mountain and a sea of ink, neither humble nor arrogant, melting into the autumn water.
She found a seat in the corner and sat down. It was originally a mat woven with rattan grass to cool off the heat, but it made her, a person who had come to Kuishui, feel cold all over.
"Isn't this Sister Mo? I haven't seen her for so long. Sister Mo's taste is quite special. She dresses so... frugally." Liang Qianjin, the minister in charge of the treasury, looked her up and down, covered her mouth, and laughed.
He stood up and said, "I almost don't recognize Sister Mo anymore. People who have been in prison are different. They have a sour smell all over their bodies. Sister Mo, if you are really short of money, you can come to my house to get it. My father used to
After receiving a lot of care from the Demon family, my family can still afford to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver. A better wolf dog will probably cost more than this." As she said that, she tilted her head slightly and put her little face in a good position.
No one would find that petite and beautiful look on her sister's shoulders annoying.
The few wealthy ladies just laughed together, and the young masters also watched calmly, picking up their teacups and taking a sip from time to time.
I have long been accustomed to the drama between women of "you step on me and I fight you", but now watching these is just a pastime when you are bored.
It's just that some women don't know who is more beautiful, who is more outstanding, and who is more dazzling in the eyes of which man, so they use all their scheming and tricks.
As everyone knows, she is also a woman.
Why do women make things difficult for women?
The demon girl taunted her with her lips half hooked, and drank the hot tea in her hand, but she still couldn't warm up her body.
"Sister Mo, why don't you say anything? You must be angry with me, right?" The daughter of the Liang family opened her small Yin Tao mouth in pretending to be surprised, and murmured coquettishly: "Sister Mo's temperament is still the same.
It’s the same as before, I can’t make any jokes, I don’t know if I’m still obsessed with Master Nangong.”
Someone laughed: "I'm afraid Young Master Nangong can't stand such a woman."
"Haha, who says it's not the case? Some people will bully others even if they can't stand Master Nangong being nice to anyone. They will beat Miss Qu without saying anything and won't change their ways. Such people
Ah, you should be sent to a cell and sober up!"
The Demon Lady sat there, listening to the words of those women, her tea-drinking hands gradually became stiff.
She is not afraid that they will talk about her past as a joke after dinner.
After all, what they said is true.
She has a bad temper and hurts people
She didn't know how to write the word "forbearance", which caused her grandfather to never come back and died on the coffin, dying with hatred.
Because of her passionate love, she offended Qu Chuxiao, so during her four-year prison life, she was not worried for a moment.
She... destroyed the Demon Family.
Because of his youthful self-righteousness, these hands completely sent the Demon family in front of many enemies, leaving grandfather without even a chance to breathe.
if……
If she could do it over again, she would never be so willful and do whatever she wants.
She didn't make her grandfather angry either. She just listened to what he said and didn't contradict him.
However, it was too late. As early as the day she was imprisoned, her happiness was gone...
She also thought that if she was released from prison one day, she would not want anything else. She just wanted someone to talk to her with, give her a bowl of porridge when she was hungry, give her a quilt when she was cold, and give her a quilt when she needed it.
Someone stood by her side and said they believed in her.
No matter where you go, you have to accept the strange looks and teasing from these people...
She didn't know if she was thinking too much, and her eyes hurt.
no.
Don't lower your head, the crown will fall off...
laugh it out!
Witch girl, smile!
Even if you are against the whole world, you still have to smile!
The corners of the mouth were raised slightly, forming a perfect arc.
Sure enough, she laughed. Even though the pain in her lower abdomen was extremely uncomfortable, the demon girl still straightened her back, with bright eyes, white teeth, and gorgeous eyebrows!
She is like a queen fighting alone, holding up a clear sky!
That kind of smile not only dumbfounded the young men in the ancient pavilion, but also the daughter of the Liang family who made the exit was stunned. She just felt that there was not much fun. This was too far from the result she wanted. It was really boring.
!
At this time, a young master spoke up, joking and joking: "I have lost a little weight, but I still have a bit of beauty. Hey, why don't I take it back and become a concubine? It will definitely be happy to have her on me. You see her
Have you lost your eyes? You are really charming."
"Come on, I don't even know how I survived in prison. You don't know, that place in the dungeon... is a treasure, hahaha." Young masters, look at me and I look at you. Is there a smile in the corner of my eye?
Containing and metaphorical.
Originally, no one would speak like this on such an occasion.
But in their eyes, the devil girl can only be regarded as a toy at best.
I don’t know why the emperor called her here.
When Mr. Mo fell, most of the old members of the Mo family retired and returned to their hometowns. However, those with a little foresight either took refuge in Nangong Yuan or the Qu family.
She is said to be a young lady from the Demon family, but she is not as noble as a maid from a big family.
In addition, this woman has been in jail...
The wealthy ladies covered their lips with handkerchiefs and snickered. Their sarcastic eyes kept turning on Ye Yaoruo and refused to give up.
"It is simply wishful thinking for such a person to want to marry Young Master Nangong!"
"Even if she has never been in jail, Master Nangong may not want her? We all see how Master Nangong treats Miss Qu, and we dote on her so much. The two families are almost settled, and they are very compatible."
.Her? Who the hell is she, haha."
"That's right. I used to be jealous of Xiaoxiao. Because of her status, no one dared to mess with her, so she took advantage of her in front of Master Nangong. In the end, Master Nangong saw through her true face. Hey, this person is
She deserves it, who asked her to be a bitch!"
Amid the ridicule, the Demon Lady held the teacup, lowered her eyes and took a sip. Although the water flowed through her throat, she felt like she was swallowing a knife, and she was so painful that she almost screamed hoarse.
Did their past turn out to be so miserable in the eyes of others?
What a shame...ha.
She indeed is.
So, it won’t happen anymore.
If you don't have something for a long time, you won't think about it anymore.
Some people won't be persistent if they can't wait...
The demon girl put down the porcelain cup she had finished drinking water from, and sat with her legs slightly crossed. Her posture was just like her own person, very delicate from the inside out. Her years of cultivation made her even without the magic's
The halo can still meet those gossips.
Silence is useful sometimes.
No, when those people saw that the Demon Lady was ignoring them, they quickly changed the topic and began to talk about admiring flowers and reciting words. Some people also said that they would go to the temple to pray for the peace of the common people.
When the young lady from the Nangong family talked about someone suffering somewhere, her eyes became red. The daughter of the Liang family even held her hand with a distressed look on her face.
It seems that compared to them, the devil girl is just a villain who drinks tea and has nothing to do with herself.
It is inevitable that this will be funny. It is very simple to save the people from dire straits. If they eat less bird's nest, the living expenses of an ordinary person will be enough for a month.
Just showing off in the palace is not as good as being casual.
Because no one has stipulated who must help whom.
But some people just like to do this.
Who doesn’t like to say things that make you look good-hearted?
However, their topic was too casual. Just after they finished talking about this, they turned around and said lightly, "I got another jade bracelet yesterday. It was brought from Yunnan. I don't know if it will look beautiful when worn."
if.
The demon girl listened without any expression. She used to be in that circle. Was she like this before, only relying on the gospel of her ancestors to compare with each other?
I have to say, this is indeed a world of fighting for your father.
The witch gently shook the tea cup in her hand, and the tea inside was a little cold. Later, the water served by the palace ladies was rock sugar jasmine tea, which is rarely available outside the palace. The emperor specially entertained these juniors.
, but unfortunately her situation is special.
The day after the sunflower water comes, it will kill people.
Especially when there was no hot water, she had no way to warm her lower abdomen, so she could only press it with her palms, hoping that the flower viewing would end soon.
In fact, if she had a choice, the Demon Lady would not want to enter the palace at all.
But that's the decree.
No one can disobey the imperial edict.
No one dares not to give honor to the emperor.
So here she comes.
Of course, she came not only because of the imperial edict, but also because of the relationship. Since she would encounter them sooner or later, it would be better to let them laugh at them all at once, so that she could understand her current position more clearly...
The ancient pavilion was still bustling with people, but it looked like not everyone had arrived yet.
The demon girl thought that when it really started, she could go home. After all, looking for a husband had nothing to do with her.
But the daughter of the Liang family sitting next to her first guarded her like a thief, fearing that she might be interested in her jade bracelet. Then she thought about who she was looking for, and looked around for a while, then her pretty face fell down, and she whispered
He ordered the maid beside him: "Go and ask, when will Master Luo come?"
"Yes." The maid quietly retreated, just as the witch looked at her.
The daughter of the Liang family glanced at her and warned in a cold voice: "There are some things that Sister Demon is best treated as if she doesn't know."
The Demon Lady remained silent, her eyes filled with carelessness.
Just when I took the tea handed over by the palace maid, my body suddenly stiffened, and it seemed that there was too much moisture down there...
The daughter of the Liang family didn't know why, so she covered her mouth and laughed, then turned around and said a few words to the sister next to her: "Look, her skirt..."
The demon girl no longer stood up, but sat firmly on the mat, her face turned pale.
No matter how bad people in the world spread her word, in fact she is still a real girl...
Who would a girl want to be seen with "dirty blood" on her skirt on such an occasion?
However, those young ladies seemed to have finally found their fun, and became even more unscrupulous when the emperor was not around. They stretched out their hands to pull her up, so that the young gentlemen could see how she made a fool of herself!
The continuous sweet laughter broke into the ears of the devil girl, and the pain in her lower abdomen made her drip with cold sweat and she had no strength at all.
Just when she could no longer resist the pull of those people, there was a swish!
