She was not illiterate at all and would not speak out if she was not allowed to.
He Lingyao was a little frustrated, but he also liked this feeling. He tried hard to find a topic and wanted to arouse everyone's resonance.
"Today I saw Miss He entering the palace with the Duke's wife. I wonder if the person wearing blue clothes next to the Duke's wife is a daughter of the Duke's palace?"
"I wonder who this sister is?" He Lingyao didn't like people to have too many ideas about Luo Jingyao, but the status of all the girls present today was higher than the last, let alone her.
"I am Liu Yueqing, the legitimate daughter of Uncle Anle." Liu Yueqing raised her chin and looked at He Lingyao.
"It turns out it's Miss Liu. I've admired her name for a long time, but it's better to be famous than to meet her at first sight." He Lingyao said with a blessing.
"oh?"
"I heard that Sister Liu is proficient in poetry, music, music, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a perfect and wonderful woman. When I see her today, Sister Liu's appearance like a moonlit flower is beyond the reach of my younger sister. I heard that you should spend more time with beautiful people.
, I will become excellent myself, but my younger sister will have to rely on my two older sisters."
"This little mouth is really good at talking. My lady's mouth is not one ten thousandth like that of Sister Su. But you just said there are only eight things. How can it be perfect?"
"Sister Liu asked knowingly, aren't beauty and family background two beauties?" He Lingyao chuckled after hearing this.
"Considering you've passed the test, come over and have tea."
"Thank you, sister." He Lingyao looked at Su Lianyi, who had an indifferent expression but said nothing, and carefully sat on the only empty stool, only one-third of the way.
"You haven't answered my question yet." Liu Yueqing glanced at Su Lianyi and said.
"Looking at my sister's memory, she is indeed my cousin who has always been in poor health."
"I see. It turns out that you are related to the Duke's family. That's no wonder."
He Lingyao didn't seem to understand the meaning of Liu Yueqing's words. He lowered his eyebrows and nodded submissively: "My grandmother is the old lady of the Duke's mansion."
"I see. Do you get along well with the Duke's wife, the daughter?"
"Fortunately, my cousin doesn't go out of the yard very often. I visit her sometimes."
"Is your body in such bad shape?" It seems that what others say is true.
"I've been feeling much better recently, probably because I was in a good mood after my marriage." He Lingyao said with lowered eyes.
"I see, please step aside." Liu Yueqing picked up the tea cup to see the guests off.
He Lingyao was stunned!
Then she stood up and left. She thought she had something to say with them and could join in, but she didn't expect that they were just questioning her in front of her, and that Su Lianyi was always aloof, which was really unpleasant.
What qualifications does a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death have to be aloof?
Don't think that everyone is unaware of the entanglement between them.
Who doesn't know that she immediately turned around and ran into the arms of the Eighth Prince after Prince An was disabled?
In the past, she regarded King An as her property.
In fact, everyone didn't know that the emperor planned to grant marriage to Su Lianyi and Prince An because Su Lianyi's father, Marquis Huaiyin, only had an empty title and no real power.
But God's calculations are not as good as those of man. King An is disabled. In the final analysis, he can kill as many eagles as he can with one arrow.
Just when Luo Jingyao thought that today's spring banquet would be like this, the palace sent someone to inform her.
There are clues and riddles hidden in several places in Taoyuan. After you find them, solve them and exchange the riddles and clues with the young masters on the opposite side. Whoever solves more will win. The winner in the end will be rewarded by the Queen.
When Luo Jingyao heard this, she realized that this had nothing to do with her. She couldn't stand out. The emperor must be watching their family.
"I don't know what the Queen will reward you."
"Your Majesty's action must be extraordinary." Luo Jingyao stood up and prepared to look for it with Yue Jinhua. If she found it, she would hand it over to Yue Jinhua. This was the first friend she had made here.
"Then let's hurry up, what are we waiting for?"
As for Luo Jingyao and Yue Jinhua, it should be said that none of the words said by all the girls in the Taoyuan were known to the Queen.
When the queen heard Luo Jingyao's words, she looked at the Duke's wife with a smile, but the Duke's wife didn't know why.
"Your girl is very transparent."
"Thank you for the compliment, she is quite clever."
The queen smiled and said nothing.
It's not clear yet, but I hope the emperor doesn't shoot himself in the foot.
"The Duke's wife looks more radiant than before. I wonder how you take care of yourself so that we can learn from it." Concubine Leng said suddenly. Everyone looked over and saw that the Duke's wife's cheeks were so tender.
Out of water.
Which woman doesn't love beauty, especially the women in the harem.
Even the queen was slightly interested.
"Why don't the Duke's wife discuss with everyone how to take care of yourself?"
"Back to the Queen, the Imperial Concubine, I don't know much about skin care, I just used facial oil." As soon as the Duke's wife thought about her daughter's little fox appearance, she knew that this must have some purpose.
"It's unkind of the Duke's wife to be so kind. What kind of facial fat can make people so sullen and unsightly? I have to ask you to see it." Concubine Leng continued to speak, with a pair of charming eyes and a delicate mouth.
There was a hint of mocking smile in it.
"Your Majesty, I apologize! This facial fat has not been released for the time being. I wanted to test the effect before launching it, but my Majesty misunderstood." The Duke's wife said she apologized, but there was no fear on her face.
Concubine Leng is very unhappy!
Hearing what the Duke's wife said, he immediately rolled his eyes and thought of an idea.
"What effect does it have?"
"Whitening and nourishing the skin can make the skin smooth, delicate and reduce dullness." The Duke's wife smiled slightly, and her beautiful lips formed a perfect smile.
"But care from the inside out?" Concubine Leng sat up slightly. Somehow, she had spots on her cheeks. Seeing the flawless makeup and fresh and white skin of the Duke's wife today, she
I have always wanted to know what good products I use. Even if I ask her to apply makeup every day, she still wants to have it.
Now it sounds like it can actually nourish the skin. Isn’t this what she needs?
But if she wants to please the emperor, she can't let the Duke's wife do business after publicity here.
Everyone also listened with attentive ears.
The Duke's wife nodded.
"I don't know who is qualified to use such a wonderful thing."
The Duke's wife did not move her eyebrows. She knew what Concubine Leng meant. If the imperial concubines were not qualified, then others would be even less qualified.
"There are people who love beauty, and all women in the world can do it." So, don't even think about it if you don't become a tribute.
Concubine Leng choked and wanted to accuse her, but she knew that there was a big tree behind the Duke's wife. Even the emperor was afraid of her, let alone a concubine.
It was all in vain, but it turned out that the Duke and his wife were not compatible.
The queen picked up the tea cup and drank lightly, unable to see clearly the thoughts in her eyes.
"Then Madam Guo Gong must start opening the business as soon as possible. We can't keep Concubine Leng waiting for too long."
"My wife, try your best. After all, this is in the experimental stage." The Duke's wife is respectful without losing her status. Anyway, no matter who she is, she has to pay money. It is impossible to make people pay filial piety in vain.
My husband would follow the trend and give gifts to the emperor, queen mother and empress every year, but he never saw them showing mercy when plotting against the Duke's palace.
Thinking of this, the Duke's wife's eyebrows became even colder.
On the contrary, this appearance made the queen feel more at ease, and she also had an explanation for the emperor.
After all! If people who have always been informal suddenly restrain themselves, that is what they should worry about.
As for this facial cream, she thought the emperor would not notice it.
Seeing the look on the queen's face, the duchess's wife breathed a sigh of relief, and then started chatting with the harem concubine openly and secretly.
Everyone knew that the emperor didn't like King An without saying it, and everyone wanted to please the emperor and stepped on the Guogong Mansion, but the couple in the Guogong Mansion stabbed each other one by one.
It's really difficult to embarrass the Duke's wife without being able to say anything.
It is not easy to please the emperor.
…
"Why bother, Ninth Brother? Are you afraid that your fiancée will run away?" the eighth prince Xiao Zhihan said sarcastically as he looked at Xiao Mubai who was sitting in a wheelchair.
"Eighth brother, be careful what you say!"
"Brothers two emperors are as respectful as brothers and sisters." He pretended to be sanctimonious.
"I wonder if the girls opposite know that we can clearly see their every move! If there is any indecent behavior, it would be a joke." The eighth prince laughed and said, not shying away at all and gloating about his misfortune.
"These are all daughters of famous families, and their upbringing and rules are not bad. The eighth brother is overly worried," said the third prince Xiao Chengrui.
"Brother Third Emperor, I can be more straightforward. After all, I am not worried, so why should I worry too much." The Eighth Prince is favored by the Emperor. He does things and speaks informally, and acts as he pleases, which is exactly what the Emperor likes.
The emperor didn't like taciturn people. He always felt that such people were deep-minded, and Prince An Xiao Mubai was exactly the taciturn person. The emperor took the princes' homework to the test, and everyone was showing off, but Xiao Mubai remained silent.
This kind of performance made the emperor even more angry, and naturally he did not like it.
He had just been ridiculed by the Eighth Prince, but he seemed not to have heard it. His simple cyan robe could not conceal his own splendor.
The shape of his legs, which are confined to a wheelchair, shows his excellence, but it's a pity that he can't stand up.
His handsome appearance was completely destroyed by the proliferation of scars, leaving only a pair of eyes as dark as a cold pool, speckled with cold stars, unfathomable.
In his hand was the answer to the riddle that someone had forced on him. This person was naturally the lawless Eighth Prince.
We are all gathered here today. In compliance with the Queen's decree, we cannot bring any servants here.
Others don't care. There are all the organs in the garden, but it's not convenient for him. The wheelchair is already heavy. Toxins are all over his body along the muscles and veins. His arms don't have much support. It's even more difficult to turn and walk on his own.
, now he is a useless person.
"Come here, come here, let's see how your ninth brother's marriage is going well. Don't miss out on your marriage. Father, I don't have time to give you one more marriage." The eighth prince said with disgust.
It can be seen that the requirements of young men here are different from those of girls.
Luo Jingyao didn't want to come, but Yue Jinhua wanted to win the queen's reward, so she forced her to look for puzzles everywhere. After finding a few, she felt that she had a chance to win, so she pulled Luo Jingyao and came over.
As a result, the low-hanging branch caught Luo Jingyao's hairpin. When the hairpin fell to the ground, there was also a puzzle that fell at the same time.
"This is God's will. You must obey it. Even if you want to be lazy, God will not see it." Yue Jinhua's eyes widened in surprise, and then said to Luo Jingyao, fearing that Luo Jingyao would force it into her hand again.
.
Luo Jingyao thought, it's just a conversation, it doesn't matter, so she should just take part in it.
He inserted the hairpin into his bun again and walked towards the opposite side with Yue Jinhua.
"Miss Luo, can you wait a moment?"
Footsteps came from behind, calling Luo Jingyao and the two to stop.
Luo Jingyao turned around. She had seen these two people before. They were Su Lianyi, a girl from the Marquis of Huaiyin family, and Liu Yueqing, a girl from the Anlebo family.
She doesn't go out much when she's dressed as a woman, but she usually goes out dressed as a man, so naturally she still encounters people.
"I wonder, are you calling me?" Luo Jingyao pretended not to recognize him and said confused.
"Of course, everyone is familiar with her. Only Miss Luo is familiar with her. I guess she is the eldest lady of Zhenguo Palace." Liu Yueqing smiled softly, and her voice was also gentle.
"Miss, you have good eyesight, but it's a pity that I'm not in good health and never go out. I don't know who the lady is?" Luo Jingyao didn't mind at all that everyone knew that she was very frail.
"I am Yueqing of the Anlebo Mansion, and this is Lianyi of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion. We are both two years older than you, so you can call us sister."
"Hello sisters, I wonder if my sister is calling me?"
"We want to get to know you, but we don't have bad intentions. We heard that Miss Luo is fragile. I didn't expect that when we meet her today, although she is weak, it does not affect her appearance."
"Sister is over-praised. What's the point of my sister's beauty? It's just an ordinary appearance. Compared with her, I feel ashamed." Luo Jingyao pretended to be shy and lowered her head slightly, her eyes were clear and clean without any trace of clutter.
Liu Yueqing's smile became even more charming. She was praised by two girls today. He Lingyao didn't notice it, but Luo Jingyao was different. Although she looked thin, she had a delicate appearance and was slightly pale, but it didn't affect her.
So exquisite, how unhappy was she to hear the affirmation of her appearance from such a girl with clear eyes and high status.
"Sister, are you going to the other side? How about we go together?"
"nature."
Yue Jinhua is so anxious that she wants to chase people away, you silly sister.
Luo Jingyao noticed Yue Jinhua's abnormality and quietly observed Liu Yueqing and the two of them. They were silent and moving, as if they were used to this.
Su Lianyi, who had not spoken a word but looked at her several times, had a bit of disgust in her eyes, and her face was cold, noble and unconventional. The rest was hard to tell for the time being.
Luo Jingyao pursed her lips and smiled, and walked in front hand in hand with Yue Jinhua.
Even if Su Lianyi and Liu Yueqing want to go to the front, their status does not allow them. The Duke is of higher rank than the Marquis.
Coupled with the fact that Gu Yu and Bai Lu stayed together, Liu Yueqing fell even further behind.
Luo Jingyao and Luo Jingyao were not the ones in front. When they passed by, there were already many girls who were shyly solving puzzles. It was rare to see the princes in normal times, but today they were able to have such close contact.
As for the young masters, with the prince as a foil, they retreated from each other, and they didn't understand the meaning of today's actions!
