Nan Yue glared angrily, "It's not your turn to comment on whether I am qualified to wear it! Nan Yan, my father already has the golden jade garment. Do you think you can take it back? Don't forget it.
, Now that my father is highly regarded in Lucheng, even Ji Yunyuan has to give him a bit of a thumbs up!"
"Then let's make a bet," He Mucheng shrugged, "I bet that within three days, the golden jade dress will disappear."
Nanyue sneered, "Then we'll see!"
After saying this, she twisted her waist and sat down on the main seat.
The noble ladies around her and the concubines of the Lucheng Palace, all of them who were literate, knelt and sat beside her, writing furiously by the flickering candlelight, but Nan Yue did not move at all, she just drank tea leisurely, condescendingly.
She looked down at everything, as if she had regarded herself as the mistress.
After Wang Xian finished copying a copy, she raised her head to take in everything. She glanced around with cold eyes, and then stepped up to He Mucheng's side, "It's getting colder and colder today, Ayan, I'm next to you,
Be warm."
Nan Yue stood up immediately and said, "A-Xian, come here and I'll have someone serve you tea. Just leave these tasks to them."
Wang Xian said disdainfully, "Although Lucheng is stable, the roots of my Langya Wang family are in Jianye."
Her meaning is very clear. Other noble ladies have to rely on King Lucheng to breathe, but she does not. Not to mention that Jianye is the capital of Jin. The name of Langya Wang family alone is enough for her to look up to Nanyue.
This was said so rudely that Nan Yue's face instantly turned pale!
She stood up suddenly, and the other ladies' pen-holding hands suddenly trembled.
"It's so stuffy here, please follow me to other rooms!" After saying this, she rolled her sleeves, turned and left!
Soon, only Wang Xian and He Muchheng were left in the entire courtyard.
Wang Xian snorted coldly, "Look at her triumphant look, it makes me sick!"
He Mucheng did not let down her guard. When she saw Wang Xian was about to drink tea, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop him.
"My sister-in-law has a vicious mind. We must be very alert and not fall into her trap. It was because of her that I was almost taken into the backyard by the fat pig King Lucheng."
After hearing this, Wang Xian covered her face and smiled, "Hahaha, Ayan has an upright personality and is quick to talk, I like it!"
"You don't think I'm vulgar?" He Mucheng was very curious. How could a legitimate daughter like Wang Xian, who is as proud as heaven, be fond of her behavior like this?
"How could it be? It's too late for me to envy you!" She slightly pursed her lips and said dissatisfied, "My father is famous and talented, and he is emulated by all the great officials, so he has very strict requirements for me and my eldest brother. I often
Being scolded always makes me feel restrained, and I can’t breathe a lot of the time..."
"She turned out to be a rebellious girl..." He Mucheng sighed in his heart.
At this moment, a maid brought cakes, and she gave her a gift, "My lady, please have a meal."
Wang Xian waved her hand, and Fang Nuonuo exited the hall and closed the door behind her.
The two looked at each other. Wang Xian took out a silver needle and pricked the pastry. She saw that the silver needle did not change color, but she still did not dare to eat it. At this time, He Mucheng took a look at the chocolate in the mall.
"28 points is really pitiful, but you are so busy now, you can't stop eating, right?" She thought, and finally her heart changed.
"System, redeem 1 chocolate."
[Successful redemption, points reduced by 5. Accumulated points 23.]
He Mucheng endured the pain, removed the packaging, broke it in half, and handed the big half to Wang Xian.
"This is the only food I carry with me, so feel free to eat it." She winked.
Wang Xian took it gratefully, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it, then her eyes brightened, "What is this? Why is it so delicious?"
"If you like the specialties of my hometown, if I become richer, I will give you some as a gift." He Mucheng promised generously.
"Don't worry, I, the Wang family of Langya, are not short of money!" She said innocently.
Just as He Mucheng was about to explain, she smelled a burning smell. She stood up in a hurry and tried to open the door, but no matter how hard she tried, the door still didn't budge!
Wang Xian also realized something was wrong at this moment. She hurriedly opened the window. As soon as she opened it, a wave of heat hit her face. He Mucheng, with quick eyes and quick hands, rushed over and threw her to the ground!
Sure enough, Nanyue took action again!
"The south wind is blowing today, and the fire is perfect." He Mucheng recalled Nan Yue's actions. She pulled everyone away in such a hurry, just because she wanted to attack her.
She has always associated things with some dirty things, so she pays attention to her diet and the smell in the air. Now it seems that Nanyue wants to kill her directly!
Nan Yue actually wanted to take Wang Xian away, but Wang Xian made rude remarks, so she was left to be buried with her.
"Ayan, is it Nan Yue who set the scene on fire?" Wang Xian shouted angrily.
"Nanyue is surrounded by witnesses, but we have no evidence." He Mucheng gathered his thoughts, "It's windy tonight, so we lit candles and stayed up late to copy the list. We were already tired, and General Ji and General Li were escorting the grain and grass back.
Where we live, even if we shout at our throats, they won’t hear us.”
"What...what should we do? Are we going to die here?" Wang Xian covered her mouth and nose and coughed violently.
The south wind was blowing fiercely, and thick smoke soon began to fill the hall!
"Even if your father and brother come here now, it won't help. The fire is so big and they don't have enough manpower. They have to notify Ji Yunyuan as soon as possible." He Mucheng searched the mall and selected products she could afford.
Fireworks? They were too expensive. They cost hundreds of points, not to mention other things. After picking and choosing, she finally saw the Sky Monkey, which only cost 15 points.
She hurriedly closed her eyes and said silently in her heart, "System, redeem the Sky Monkey!"
[The redemption is successful, the points are reduced by 15. The remaining points are 8.]
There was silence all around, except for the crackling sound of burning in the hall. It seemed that Nan Yue had transferred everyone away.
He Mucheng took out the brocade handkerchief, wetted the tea with it, covered his mouth and nose, and then walked to the window sill with the few flying monkeys.
Making sure there was no obstruction at the window, He Mucheng lit up the object in his hand.
One by one, small firecrackers bloomed into gorgeous little flowers in the night sky. Because of fighting in this era, the soldiers were very alert to the sounds in the air. He Mucheng was sure that Ji Yunyuan would come to check!
It was precisely because she opened the window that black smoke billowed in, choking He Mucheng and making him step back repeatedly.
"Ahem, Ayan, I...I feel so uncomfortable..." Wang Xian covered her chest, as if she was going to faint at the next moment.
While He Mucheng was calming down for Wang Xian, she browsed the mall page by page. Finally, in the most inconspicuous corner booth, she found a fire mask that only cost 8 points.
"System, redeem the fire mask!"
[Successful redemption, points minus 8. Accumulated points 0.]
"All the points I earned with so much hard work are gone in just one month!" He Musheng gnashed his teeth to himself, cursing the vicious woman a million times in his heart, and then skillfully put the gas mask on
Wang Xian's face.
Wang Xian had lost consciousness, while He Mucheng held his breath tightly, holding Wang Xian and retreating to a safe place.
Soon, there were exclamations outside the palace, "The water has escaped! Hurry, get some water!"
"Who's in there?"
"It seems to be the Nan family's Ayan, and... and the Wang family's Axian..."
"What? A-Xian is in there?" With this question, He Mucheng recognized the owner of the voice. It was Wang Yan. He had always been calm and calm, but now he had lost his composure.
Just as everyone was in a hurry, a horse's neighing sound echoed around!
It's Ji Yunyuan!
He actually rode a war horse into the Lucheng Palace!
