Chapter 120 Liu Zixian's Little Trick

"It turned out to be Princess Xian, why haven't I heard of it? It is said that Princess Xian is gentle and kind, and her beauty is like a fairy. I thought it was just a rumor. After all, Princess Xian went to the regent with Concubine Jing many years ago. The king's fiefdom... But looking at it now, Princess Xian is indeed a fairy, gentle and kind, we Xuanyuan are really blessed, we have two beautiful and excellent princesses in one fell swoop."

"Who says it's not? These two princesses are still relatives. Princess Xian is the adopted daughter of Concubine Jing, and Empress Dowager is the real aunt of the Prince Regent. Princess Xian is a family now."

"Looking at Princess Xian's age, it's time to discuss marriage. I don't know if I have this plan when I return to the capital this time."

"I've heard some rumors that Princess Xian has admired the Prince Regent since she was a child..."

"That must be false. Didn't the regent say it a long time ago? He has always been happy only with Princess Yong'an, and he declared to the world that there will only be Princess Yong'an in the mansion in this life. With such courage, who will be the only one who can do it again?" Wouldn’t it be asking for trouble to destroy the Prince Regent and Princess Yong’an?”

"That's true. Although Princess Xian is beautiful and kind, she is still a bit behind Princess Yong'an. After all, our Princess Yong'an doesn't just have a good look..."

——Hearing these comments, Liu Zixian's originally gentle and generous smile froze on her face, and she got back into the carriage in embarrassment. As soon as the curtain was lowered, the smile disappeared, and her expression became extremely ferocious: "Mother, did you hear Did these untouchables say anything? How dare they say I'm not as good as that damned merchant girl!"

She performed such a performance in front of the city gate, originally wanting to spread her reputation of beauty and kindness, so that when she enters the Regent's Palace, she can win more people's support, but she didn't expect what these people said earlier Well, as she was talking, it turned out to be different from what she had expected.

To compare her with Feng Yunqing, and to say that she is far behind Feng Yunqing?Say she only has one good color?To say that she adores Xuanyuan Yelan is asking for trouble?

How good is that Feng Yunqing, so that all these untouchables help to speak?

"Why do you have to care about some untouchables." Dowager Jing just squinted her eyes and replied indifferently.

"I can see that it must be Feng Yunqing who knew we were coming back, and deliberately sent someone here to show us off!" Liu Zixian angrily attributed this to Feng Yunqing's malice.

Probably because she has such bad thoughts herself, she thinks that other people also have such bad thoughts?
After such a thing happened, the speed of the carriage was naturally faster, and it still reached the regent all the way.

Liu Zixian hurriedly tidied up her clothes and hair, she deliberately dressed beautifully today, and she failed to seduce Xuanyuan Yelan yesterday, so of course she will make persistent efforts.

——Although thinking that the medicine she gave Xuanyuan Yelan last night might have been taken by Feng Yunqing, she felt very resentful in her heart, but Concubine Jing also said, don't care about such a business girl, just treat it as Xuanyuan It would be nice to have someone to play with at Yelan.

——This is also because Liu Zixian thought that Xuanyuan Yelan would welcome her and Concubine Jing at the door (I don't know where they got such big faces!)
then.

Liu Zixian got out of the carriage first, stretched out her hand to brush a strand of hair from her forehead, and looked towards the door of the Prince Regent's Mansion in a pose that she thought she was charming, only to see the old housekeeper standing there expressionlessly. At the door, it was rare for the steward to stand beside Liefeng, wearing the general's heavy armor, and stood there with a solemn expression on his face.

Liu Zixian's face immediately turned cold.

What about Xuanyuan Yelan?
She turned her head and hurriedly said to Concubine Jing: "Mother, my cousin hasn't come yet. I think there is something important going on."

The old housekeeper stepped forward together with Lie Feng: "Your Majesty welcomes Concubine Jing and Princess Xian."

"Where's the regent?" Concubine Jing asked in her "prestige" as she sat upright inside and didn't move.

"But what important state affairs are you going to deal with?" Liu Zixian added.

"No," Lie Feng said: "Tonight, Xuanyuan deliberately held a state banquet for the arrival of Emperor Yun of the Chu Kingdom. The regent was worried that the clothes worn today would not be a couple outfit with Princess Yong'an, so he deliberately went to King Ren's Mansion to see what Princess Yong'an was wearing today. What kind of clothes are they?"

"What?" Liu Zixian's face darkened immediately: "What couple outfit?"

"Master Xian has not been in the imperial city for many years. I don't know. This couple's outfit is the clothes worn by unmarried couples who have engaged in a marriage contract. The color, style or accessories are relatively consistent. Nowadays, it is popular in the imperial city to wear it like this. In the future, the concubine will have deep affection, and she has been deciding what to wear by looking at Princess Yong'an's attire during this period of time."

It was clear that the couple's costumes were still passed down from Xuanyuan Yelan and Feng Yunqing, Lie Feng deliberately said that it was popular in the imperial city long ago, but Concubine Jing and Liu Zixian couldn't find anything wrong.

But the majestic Prince Regent didn't come to welcome Concubine Jing (Princess Xian) just because he could wear the same clothes as his fiancée when he was away from home?This is too...

"Mother, have you heard everything? That Feng Yunqing is simply a coquettish girl. This early in the morning, I asked my cousin to see what clothes she was wearing. This is simply..."

"Master Xian, please don't make random guesses!" The old housekeeper said indifferently: "No one in the imperial city knows that the regent is kind to the future princess, and many things are done on his own initiative. The future princess has also persuaded the regent a lot. Don’t get too close to her before marriage, it’s because the Prince Regent doesn’t want to be separated from the future princess for too long—this is the exact words of the Prince Regent!”

"The innocence of the daughter's family is the most important thing. The future princess has a good temper and good temper. Although she doesn't care about these gossips, the regent does. I chopped it into meat and fed it to the dogs, so I still kindly remind Princess Xian that you can say anything about anyone in Shangjing, but you can't say about our future princess regent!"

"You... how dare you speak to the princess like this? Are you threatening the princess?" Liu Zixian's face turned blue with anger.

The old butler's expression remained the same: "The lower officials are just telling the truth. If Princess Xian doesn't listen, it's okay. The lower and right officials are only talking to you for the sake of Princess Jing."

The old steward was there when the late emperor and the late empress were around. The late emperor praised him for being able to handle affairs and being a prime minister, but he only took one official rank and was willing to guard Xuanyuan Yelan. Such an old man is called Shangdi Some, but the position is not low at all.

Even Concubine Jing didn't dare to do anything to him, so there was nothing wrong with him saying this.

"Xian'er, don't mess around!" Grand Concubine Jing was also angry, this was Xuanyuan Yelan's blow to her, right?Instead of coming to greet her, but looking for Feng Yunqing for dressing up?He didn't pay attention to her at all!

But no matter how angry she was, she had to suppress it first, and then go to the Prince Regent's Mansion first.

She lifted the curtain, with a false smile on her face, and looked at the old butler: "The old butler is well."

"Concubine Jing is well." The old housekeeper just nodded slightly, without any formal ceremony.

The Prince Regent asked him and Lie Feng to welcome Concubine Jing and Liu Zixian just to show them off, and he would naturally implement this meaning.

"Since it's a state banquet, Xian'er and I have come back, so we also want to attend. I wonder if Yelan made an agreement with the emperor in advance?"

"As I said, at that time, Concubine Toffee and Princess Xian can go there together in the carriage that the regent usually takes to court."

"Really?" After hearing this, Liu Zixian became a little excited again.

The state banquet must be about ostentation. The nobles and officials present will naturally ride in the court carriage or official sedan chair. The old housekeeper said that Concubine Jing and her will ride in the regent's carriage. Doesn't this mean that Said she wanted to ride with Xuanyuan Yelan?

When the time comes, if she uses some tricks, is she afraid that no one will misunderstand that she has a close relationship with the Prince Regent?
