Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 242 Sister City Mansion (2)
Turning around, the weak and strong figure gradually disappeared in the deep night.

The evening breeze was blowing, the white skirt was flying, and the soft and bright hair swept over the woman's peerless face, revealing the beautiful and desolate phoenix eyes.

Behind him, the stalwart and handsome man held her in his arms pitifully.

"Children have their own way, don't think so much, they will be happy."

The woman leaned obediently in his arms, and hummed lightly.

Since the flower viewing party, the weather has gradually eased.During this period of time, what is worth mentioning is the marriage between Prince Yi's Mansion and Lu Mansion.

On this day, Ling Xihan had just returned from sword practice when Ruoxue hurried in, wrapped in a three-color satin jacket of jade, red, and green velvet, and handed her a bright red wedding invitation.When she opened it, her eyes flashed in surprise and relief.

"26? It seems not far away."

Ruoyu nodded with a smile, "Today is already sixteen, and there are still ten days left."

Ling Xihan put down the wedding invitation, "I'm in a hurry." While speaking, she put on a long coat with ocher-yellow collar and apricot-coloured tufted collar, and sat lazily on the couch.

Ruoxue said: "Prince Yi will go back to Guanlan City next month, and I don't know how many years it will take to come back. Prince Yi's son has never been close to women, and he stays in the army all year round. Seeing that she has not yet married a wife, Prince Yi is of course anxious. Now that she finally finds a suitable one, of course she has to settle quickly."

Ling Xihan nodded in agreement, "This is the first wedding after the year, so I'm afraid it will be quite lively."

"Of course." Ruoyu said with a smile: "The emperor and Prince Yi are deeply brothers, and the emperor is naturally concerned about the marriage of Prince Yi's son."

Ling Xihan rested her chin in one hand, and thoughtfully said: "Some people are happy and some are worried. I'm afraid this wedding will not be too smooth."

Ruoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, Ruoxue was surprised.

"Why did the lady say such a thing?"

Before Ling Xihan could open her mouth, she saw a little maid in a lake-green make-up and plain coat walking in, tightly clutching a delicate box carved in black wood.

"Miss Three."

"In such a hurry, but what happened?"

"Returning to Miss, the doorman just received a gift from the Grand Master's Mansion, and I named it to you, Miss." She said and passed the box in her hand forward.

Ruoyu stepped forward, but it turned out that the box was handed over to Ling Xihan after repeated inspections that it was not poisonous or that it was a trap, and the maid also went down.

Ling Xihan looked at the box in his hand, was it sent by the Grand Master's Mansion?
"Miss, who sent it? Could it be Wu Qingyun?" Ruoxue's eyes were cold.

Ling Xihan took it and opened it, but it was a hairpin inlaid with beeswax and water droplets in red gold.A strange light flashed across Ling Xihan's eyes.Based on her experience, she could tell at a glance that the hairpin was weird.She took out the hairpin, and skillfully removed the water drop cap at the end.

"Go get a needle."

"Yes." Ruoxue went away in response, and quickly brought an embroidery needle.

Ling Xihan inserted the needle into the hole of the hairpin, and slowly, a section of white rolled paper was exposed from the tail of the hairpin.

"Miss, there is a secret letter in this hairpin." Ruoxue exclaimed, her face full of surprise, she never thought that the hairpin could also hide letters.

However, Ling Xihan already knew it by heart, unfolded the letter paper, glanced over the handwriting on it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough, she is a smart woman."

"Miss, what are you talking about?" Ruoxue tilted her head, looking at Ling Xihan puzzled.

"Does Miss know who sent this letter?"

Ruoyu couldn't help but give her a blank look, "Who in Wu's mansion has friendship with our lady? Don't forget, Wu Qingyun lost to Miss in front of everyone at the flower viewing party at Prince Rui's mansion last time. One has to hate Miss to death."

"Then who sent this letter?"

Ruoyu's expression was filled with hatred, "You forgot why Wu Qingjun was hostile to Miss? And forgot, what day is the 26th of this month?"

A flash of light flashed in Ruoxue's mind, "You mean Wu Xixue?"

"Smart!" Ruoyu praised, with appreciation in his eyes.

"But why did she do that?" Ruoxue asked again in doubt.She looked at the contents of the note, the wedding is different!In just four words, it says everything.

The corner of Ling Xihan's mouth twitched, and there was a contradiction between ridicule and admiration in his eyes.

"Wu Qingjun likes Xiao Chunfeng, so he has always hated An Tong. This time the emperor ordered the marriage, Wu Qingyun was naturally angry. I heard that Wu Qingyun was fined and grounded after returning last time, and Wu Xixue's biological mother was promoted to a second wife. Wu Qingyun is equal in the Grand Master's Mansion. Yiwu Qingyun's arrogant and arrogant character, how can she tolerate it? It also happens that her sweetheart is getting married, but the bride is not her, so how can she not be jealous? Wu Xixue knows that I have a good relationship with An Tong, so she deliberately Telling me about this is just selling my favor. Wu Xixue's biological mother is a maid brought by Mrs. Wu from her natal family. I heard that she was originally a lady from an official family, but she only became a maid when her family was poor. So it's nothing Background. She is a concubine daughter, and it is indeed difficult for her to be under the hands of Mrs. Wu who has a strong background. So she wants to take this opportunity to show her kindness to me, and to use my hand to get rid of Wu Qingyun. Kill two birds with one stone."

Ruoyu couldn't help gasping, "What a scheming woman."

The corner of Ling Xihan's mouth raised a playful smile, "If I'm not mistaken, Wu Xixue has been planning how to join me since the first time we met."

"I didn't expect that Wu Xixue's city would be so deep." Ruoxue couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

A dark light flashed in Ling Xihan's eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a sneer.

"If a little concubine born in a wealthy family's compound doesn't have a bit of scheming and city power, can she be on the same level as the concubine's daughter or even surpass her?"

Ruoxue choked, and Ruoyu said: "Miss, Wu Xixue's move is very clever. She knows that her thoughts will definitely be seen through by you, miss, so she deliberately let the person who sent the hairpin reveal the information. It seems that she has something wrong with you." You dare to take this step only after you have a certain understanding. She expects that you will attack Wu Qingyun even if you know that she has selfish intentions for the sake of being a friend."

Ling Xihan nodded, "Yes! This is where she is the smartest." She stared at the green glass bottle covered with purple flowers on the pear wood cabinet, "The most terrifying thing in this world is not the elusive person, but her upright personality." She tells you what she's going to do, and you're bound by it, you can't fight back."

Ruoyu was startled, and always felt that Ling Xihan's words seemed to be a pun.

"Forget it, let's leave it at that. An Tong is getting married. According to the rules, I have to prepare makeup for her." She rested her forehead with one hand, thinking about what gift to give.

Ruoyu and Ruoxue stood aside, and they didn't have any good suggestions.The Lu family is also a big family, what gold, silver and jade have you never seen?Besides, given the relationship between Ling Xihan and Lu Antong, it would seem superficial and vulgar to give those vulgar things.No matter what you do, you have to be special, it's better to have a certain meaning.
