Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 179
Feng Yao went back to the courtyard, only to see the table full of people looking at her, feeling apologetic.Walking back to his seat, he touched Doudou's small face. Before he had time to say anything, he just heard Doudou say: "Mother, you can't go shopping with us, can you?" Clear eyes, obviously already guessed.

Looking at those big black and white eyes, Feng Yao was suddenly at a loss for words.The biggest difference between adults and children is that adults have countless things in their hearts, and there is always no most important thing. It is commonplace to give up one thing for another.But the child's heart is simple, with only a few things in it.

Doudou's expectation is to visit the Osmanthus Festival with Feng Yao.For this reason, Murong Yu teased him last night, should he go to the capital to watch the more lively Osmanthus Festival, or play with Feng Yao in Huangsha Town?Doudou refused without hesitation. In his heart, the most important person at any time is his mother.

Therefore, Feng Yao could hardly speak.However, she had to say: "I'm sorry, Doudou, mother can't accompany you to the Osmanthus Festival."

Doudou looked a little disappointed, but nodded: "Mother, go get busy. My sisters and I can also have a good time."

For such a well-behaved and sensible Doudou, Zhijiao Fengyao felt more and more guilty: "Mother will accompany you to watch the lantern festival at night, this time I will definitely not miss the appointment."

Unexpectedly, Doudou stretched out her small hand and patted her on the shoulder, and the little adult reassured her: "Mother, you go. I know, you must have something very important."

Doudou was certain in her heart that if Feng Yao hadn't had important matters, she would have stayed with him.After all, he is mother's darling, and he still has some confidence in this.

Feng Yao was so moved that she hugged him and kissed him hard: "My dear son, I'll wait for mother to come back to play with you at night."

After tidying up a few things, he told Wuji and Qingting: "There are so many people on the street today, it must be very chaotic. You two must be careful, Wuji takes care of Doudou, and Dragonfly protects Sanhua sisters, so there must be no mistakes! "

Wuji and Dragonfly nodded.

Feng Yao went out, got into the carriage, and went to the palace.

Murong Xi'er had been waiting in the Yongning Palace for a long time, when she saw Feng Yao coming, she couldn't help but said: "Is it because you didn't plan to come if I didn't tell you the reason?"

Feng Yao smiled and said: "My son has always been my heart, but you know it. If there is no important thing, I am reluctant to leave him behind."

Murong Xi'er loves her the most, straight to the point, snorted, and said: "I see, isn't your son that important to you? To deal with a bitch, you left him behind. It can be seen that in your heart, Your son was not the most important thing."

Feng Yao was silent.

Murong Xi'er is right, what does Su Linglong's life and death actually have to do with her?It turned out that he had promised Feng Shi that he would seek justice for her.Moreover, Feng Yao is not willing to let go of the opportunity to befriend Murong Xi'er.Then nodded: "Yes."

She admitted it so happily, on the contrary, it made it difficult for Murong Xi'er to say anything: "Come on, I figured it out, and don't even try to get cheap from you."

Feng Yao also laughed, but clasped her hands in a salute: "Thank you princess for standing up for me."

Soon, people came to Yongning Palace one after another.There are young ladies who are waiting to be married, and there are also women who have just married.After meeting the queen and concubines, I came here.

Speaking of which, none of the people who came to Yongning Palace was willing.

Murong Xi'er's brutality was very clear in the hearts of the ladies of the official family.Every year at the banquet, there will always be one or two people who offend Murong Xi'er, at least they will be taught a few words, and at worst they will be splashed all over with wine, and they will go home in a state of embarrassment.Therefore, if there is a way, they would not come.

"See Princess."

"Hail the Princess."

One after another, bright and charming girls came in from the gate of Yongning Palace, respectfully saluting Murong Xi'er.

Murong Xi'er said: "Everyone get up. Today is a day for playing, but there is no need to be so formal."

Even so, others dare not just listen.I'm afraid this is just a bait thrown by Murong Xi'er, and he only waits for them to take the bait, and then he will teach them a severe lesson.Therefore, only after doing all the etiquette, dare to stand up straight.

"The dress that the princess is wearing today, I have never seen it before, it is really beautiful." said a delicate and quiet lady.

When the others heard the words, they also raised their heads to look at Murong Xi'er.Seeing the clothes Murong Xi'er was wearing, she couldn't help being amazed: "Miss Zhou is right, it's really pretty!"

I saw the snow-blue silk base, as smooth and soft as water, embroidered with large bright hibiscus flowers all over the skirt.And the extra-loose cuffs, which look coquettish and leisurely, are continued by a lavender gusset that is more than an inch wide, embroidered with twine patterns.The lower part of the skirt was wrapped several times, wrapping up to below the knees, and inside was a smoky purple petticoat, somehow made into vertical layers of folds, piled up at Murong Xi'er's feet, looking extraordinarily elegant.

Murong Xi'er was envied by everyone, stood up proudly from the couch, spread her arms slightly, and walked around slowly: "This is made by one of my princess's embroiderers specially for this princess."

Others praised the embroiderer for her cleverness, and others praised Murong Xi'er for her unique vision.Only a girl with round eyes turned her eyes Linglong, wanted to say something but stopped, and only looked at Murong Xi'er's cuff.

I saw that as Murong Xi'er walked around, the wide cuffs fluttered like the wind, and from time to time the inside of the cuffs was exposed, in the shape of a four-leaf clover.Realizing this, the girl's eyes widened involuntarily.

"Feng family, come here." Murong Xi'er said, beckoning to Feng Yao who was standing not far away.

Everyone looked over together.

"Is this the embroiderer who made clothes for Her Royal Highness?" The delicate and quiet lady who praised Murong Xi'er first said with a smile, "It seems that she has some skills."

Murong Xi'er glanced at her approvingly, and said: "When you greeted the empress, did you pay attention to my concubine, the imperial concubine? What she was wearing was a mother-daughter outfit like the one I was wearing. Designed by Feng."

Everyone was surprised when they heard the words: "Ah, I remembered!"

"It's really a style!"

"Fengxiu Niang is really good at it."

"If you like, you can also tell this princess that the Feng family has a shop outside the palace. When you go to her shop to order clothes, this princess will ask her to give you cheaper prices." Murong Xi'er said.

After all, she was a young and lively girl, although she was very nervous when she came in just now, but seeing that Murong Xi'er was in a good mood at the moment, she gradually relaxed.

"The princess is starting a business?"

"His Royal Highness actually loves these things?"

"But we need to ask Fengxiu Niang to give us a cheaper price."

Murong Xi'er said: "Still telling you that you can't make it? Fengxiu Niang's store outside is not sold by everyone. She only sells ten pieces a day, and she won't do anything more. And the minimum is 100 taels of silver From now on, many people can afford the money but can't stand in the queue."

"This is so expensive?" Someone asked in surprise.

The others also showed surprise: "It's even more expensive than the clothes in Qiutang Garden?"

"What's so special about Qiutang Garden's clothes?" Murong Xi'er raised her eyebrows, and raised her hand dismissively, "Look at that one, does it look as good as this princess's?"

Everyone followed Murong Xi'er's direction and saw two women walking in this way, arm in arm.They were all born with beautiful faces, and their young faces were round and smooth like a silver moon.

The clothes one of them was wearing were exactly the style of Qiutang Garden.The workmanship and fabric seem to be extremely expensive.In the past, they must have felt envious.But after looking at Murong Xier's clothes, and then looking at hers, he felt very ordinary.

"It's actually far worse than what the princess wore."

Then someone echoed: "It's really incomparable."

As for whether it is true or false, Murong Xi'er has her own conclusion in her mind.He stopped talking, and his eyes fell on the two people who walked in.

"An and Su have met the princess." The two women approached, bowed their knees and saluted Murong Xi'er.

Murong Xi'er raised the corners of her lips slightly, and looked at the woman on the left: "You are the Su family?"

This woman wearing the latest style of Qiutang Garden is Su Linglong: "Return to the princess, my wife."

At this time, Su Linglong's bent knees were already a little sore, but Murong Xi'er didn't know whether she forgot, or deliberately tormented her, but she never asked her to get up, feeling a little unhappy.

Su Linglong, who had bent her knees and waited for a long time for an answer, couldn't hide the irritability on her face.At this moment, Murong Xi'er's gentle voice sounded from above his head: "Get up quickly."

The gentle and pleasant tone was almost unheard of, and everyone in the hall was shocked.Su Linglong was also a little flattered, and quickly said: "Thank you, princess."

Unexpectedly, at the next moment, Murong Xi'er said with great pity: "You have suffered. Come, give Su Clan a seat."

Su Linglong was even more flattered, and a little baffled, so she looked at her sister-in-law, An Shi, who was next to her.

An's is the natal family of Empress An Jinrong, the daughter-in-law of Duke An's mansion. Because of her thoughtfulness and calmness, she married Prime Minister Su's eldest son, Su Linglong's eldest brother, Su Anjin.

An shi lived up to her trust, smiled and bowed to Murong Xi'er, and said: "The princess has spoiled her, she is just a minister's wife, the princess has not yet taken her seat, how can there be a seat for her?"

Murong Xi'er didn't even look at her, she looked at Su Linglong, and said with compassion: "Poor thing, you have been tortured into such a state by your man. When I was a girl at home, this princess remembered that you were extremely arrogant. You've only been married for three years, and you don't even dare to sit on the seat given to you by this princess?"

Su Linglong felt even more inexplicable: "Princess, my husband is very good to me and never tortured me."

The others all shrank their hands and feet so as not to catch Murong Xi'er's eyes.In the current situation, Murong Xi'er made it clear that she wanted to torture people, everyone's minds were like mirrors, but how did the Su family offend her?
"Isn't the person you married, Shen Yunzhi, the number one scholar in the past?" Murong Xi'er was extremely surprised.

Su Linglong only heard Murong Xi'er call out Shen Yunzhi's name, felt a burst of complacency, and replied in a clear voice: "Princess, Shen Lang is my husband."

Murong Xi'er said: "But, I heard that Shen Yunzhi has changed his temperament since he was cut off by an unknown master? He doesn't treat you as tenderly as before, but he becomes domineering and bossy to you sometimes. Is it not true to lose your temper?"

After saying those words, Su Linglong's face immediately turned red.
