Secret agent crossing: Overbearing prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 83 The Garden of the Shangguan Mansion
Mrs. Shangguan's [-]th birthday banquet was organized very grandly.Firstly, it was because Shangguan Qi was a cabinet elder, and Shangguan's wife was of the highest order, she was the oldest among many imperial wives, and her family background was noble.The second reason is because of her daughter, Shangguan Yun, but the empress of the dynasty, as the empress's mother, her status is naturally incomparable.

Before it was time to light up the lights, people from all walks of life who had come to celebrate Mrs. Shangguan's birthday had already arrived. While showing the invitations to enter the inner mansion, servants escorted the birthday presents and presented a long list of gifts.

Duan Rujin followed Mrs. Duan to the Shangguan Mansion, and the wives around saluted Mrs. Duan one after another. After all, Mrs. Duan is a princess and a member of the royal family. Even if she is the general's wife now, she is still behind the princess.

Because of Mrs. Duan's status, and because Jun Shecang is now in power, Duan Rujin also received a warm welcome. Standing among a group of beauties, she was dressed in simple and elegant clothes and had a beautiful face. And she has a gentle smile and polite speech, all the ladies are very willing to talk with her.

"Hey, have you all heard? That princess is now a well-known figure in the capital?" The young lady of the Hanlin family whispered, covering her handkerchief.

"My nanny said something. She said that the princess rode a horse on the long street and hurt someone. People from the Kyoto Inspection Department went and were whipped by her." The lady of the Shangshufu said delicately. .

"Oh, there is such a thing? You know a lot, I don't know anything in the palace." Duan Rujin smiled.

Seeing her emotion, these young ladies scrambled to tell her how many great events happened to Princess Yunxi after she returned to Beijing like beans pouring beans in a bamboo tube.

Duan Rujin listened slightly, but he was just an arrogant and willful big family, with no city in his chest but willful and reckless, that's why he had so many grievances after returning to Beijing.

"Hey, who would let someone be the princess? With this status, even if she is married in the future, no matter what, her husband's family will not dare to treat her poorly." The young lady of Hanlin's family sighed quietly, and the other people The young lady was silent. Indeed, no matter how arrogant Ning Yunxi was, she was the daughter of Prince Yun, and she had the identity of the princess.

"They are all princesses. Princess Yunni is very good. Let's see sister Duan is such a well-educated lady. If sister Duan is the leader of the group, I'm afraid more people will believe it." Someone muttered unconvinced .

"What nonsense are you talking about? Is the identity of the princess can be talked about?" Duan Rujin just smiled slightly after hearing this, and said a few words to them.

"No, no." Miss Hanlin said with a smile, "If Sister Duan becomes the leader of the group, wouldn't we lose a concubine?"

For a moment, all the ladies laughed together, and said in their mouths: "Yes, yes, Sister Duan is not the princess, so she will naturally win over the princess if she can."

"You guys just like to bite your tongue." Duan Rujin was teased by them for a while, she shook her head with a smile and said: "We are not interested here, I have heard that the garden of the Shangguan Mansion is the most unique and beautiful, let's go to the garden together Let's go shopping."

The ladies were bored in the mansion and could hardly go out. They went to the garden by themselves and were afraid of running into Deng Tuzi. They nodded naturally after hearing Duan Rujin's suggestion, and each went to support their mother.

"Okay, what's wrong with walking around? I'm not afraid of being laughed at." Mrs. Duan had a smile on her face, reprimanding Duan Rujin.

"Rujin has a calm temperament, so it's no wonder that these children all like her, and she is the most like an elder sister." Mrs. Shangguan and Mrs. Duan stood together and said with a smile.

The lady next to her also hurriedly said flatteringly: "Speaking of which, Miss Duan has come out so well because of the princess's teaching."

Duan Rujin greeted all the wives, and she behaved very modestly and politely, which aroused a lot of compliments, and then she took all the ladies to the garden.

The garden of Shangguan's family is very large, with winding ponds and rockery in the middle, and lush and beautiful flowers and plants.

Duan Rujin looked at the garden, turned around and said, "It's rare for us to come out to play, so let's play more excitingly. This garden is so big, playing hide-and-seek must be very interesting."

"Hide-and-seek?" The ladies looked at each other, a little eager to try, anyway, they all had maids around them.

Duan Rujin drew a boundary, and the young lady of the Hanlin family drew lotteries to find everyone. With an order, all the young ladies rushed around the garden with their maidservants. Duan Rujin also pretended to hide in one place. Standing there with her, he whispered puzzledly, "Miss, what are you doing?"

Duan Rujin sneered, "Tonight, let's catch fish."

"Oh, I found you." Miss Hanlin shouted coquettishly in the distance, a lady came out from behind the tree with a smile, and the two looked for the rest of the lady together.

The moon in the sky is bright, and the shadows under the moonlight all look a little desolate.

"Why?" Ning Yunxi looked at the person in front of her, with anger and sadness in her eyes. She was wearing a Yunxue woven flower dress with a faint halo under the moonlight, and the white jade crown on her head The inlaid Dongzhu is also dazzling, but she does not appear among the guests at this moment, but appears in this huge and deserted garden, just to block this person.

"You don't want the purse I gave you, you didn't return the letterhead I gave you, you didn't respond to the invitation I sent you, Luo Zishang, who do you think I am, Ning Yunxi?" Ning Yunxi clenched his fists and asked angrily road.

Luo Zishang stood in the shadow under the tree, couldn't see his face clearly, but his voice was a little melancholy, "Yunxi, I'm sorry, Luo Zishang will probably disappoint your affection."

"You dare." Ning Yunxi said coldly, "There is no one I, Ning Yunxi, can't get."

Luo Zishang smiled wryly, "Yunxi, do I, Luo Zishang, be such a heartless and ungrateful person in your eyes?"

"Then why did you reject me?" Ning Yunxi looked at him and asked.

Luo Zishang sighed, "Although I was dependent on the late emperor, I was still just a businessman. Although all the courtiers respected me and had a family, they secretly thought that I was a profiteer full of money. How could I be worthy of a noble birth?" What about you?"

"I don't care." Hearing what he said, Ning Yunxi softened his posture and said, "I don't care about these, as long as I can be with you, even if you are a commoner, I am willing."

"No." Luo Zishang said seriously, "If you want to marry me and be wronged, then I would rather never know you."

"I don't feel wronged." Ning Yunxi said stubbornly.

Luo Zishang sighed, "If I had seized the opportunity back then, I wouldn't be trapped everywhere now, and I wouldn't even be able to protect the person I love the most."

"Back then, what happened back then? Who dares to trap you now? I'll let my father help you." Ning Yunxi said hastily.

Luo Zishang said melancholy: "If the late emperor's edict had been carried out and Luo Zishang had already grasped the power to supervise the country, then what could stop you and me? It's a pity that the courtiers exclude me collectively, just because I am not A relative of the emperor is just a businessman, so he gave the power of supervising the country to King Chong, and King Chong was always jealous of the late Emperor’s use of me, so how could he let me go so easily now, I really can’t let you suffer with me.”

"There is such a thing?" Ning Yunxi murmured, suddenly there was a sound of a branch breaking behind the tree, and Ning Yunxi called out vigilantly: "Who is it?"

A weak woman came out from behind the tree. It was Du Ruolian, a lady from the Shangshu family. She held her chest and looked at the two of them in horror. She was just worried that she would be found, so she walked a little farther away. Hiding behind the tree unexpectedly heard such a shocking scene.

Luo Zishang looked at Du Ruolian who suddenly appeared. She was weak and did not know martial arts, but he didn't notice that there was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes. What he said just now must not reveal half of it, and she was alone .

"Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop on my princess here." Ning Yunxi said angrily.

Du Ruolian looked at Luo Zishang in horror, Luo Zishang raised his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Miss must be Miss Du, Lord Shangshu's jewel. The sky is dark, how can Miss Du be here alone?"

Du Ruolian saw that his words were gentle and courteous, so he saluted slightly and said softly: "I met Mrs. Luo, I just played hide-and-seek with other ladies, and I came here just for fun."

"What about the others?" Luo Zishang still smiled warmly.

Du Ruolian strengthened her courage and said: "Other people must have been looking for me, I won't disturb you two here." After speaking, Du Ruolian picked up her skirt and was about to run out, but at this moment a hand was on her. Du Ruolian was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, only to hear Ning Yunxi say in a low voice behind him: "You go first, the princess is just tired, so let's go back with Miss Du."

Luo Zishang smiled politely when he heard the words, "Then Luo will go back first, the adults should still be waiting for me, Lord Shangshu has a lot today, I will have to toast a few more later." Luo Zishang finished speaking Turned around and left.

Ning Yunxi walked to Du Ruolian's side, and said coldly, "Miss Du, let's go back."

"Ruolian, so you are here." Ms. Hanlin Wang Yuefu rushed over with all the ladies and said dissatisfiedly, but then saw Ning Yunxi walking with Du Ruolian, and reluctantly gave Ning Yunxi salute.

Ning Yunxi saw someone coming, and said to Du Ruolian: "Miss Du, then the princess is leaving first, you can play slowly." After speaking, he let go of Du Ruolian's hand, and directly from all the ladies He walked in front of him, ignoring all the people who were saluting.

"Ruolian, why are you with her? We can't find you by playing hide-and-seek." Wang Yuefu complained, "Look how much time we've wasted because of you."

Du Ruolian calmed down a little, and her little maid also ran over at this time, and said with teary eyes, "Miss, why did you leave me and run away alone?"

Du Ruolian looked at Wang Yuefu and asked, "Where's Sister Duan? Why didn't you stay with you?"

Wang Yuefu said: "Sister Duan sprained her foot just now, the servant girl helped her to the flower hall first, let us find her in the flower hall after we find you, let's go there quickly."
