Black Dragon's Wife: Myriad Spirits and White Phoenix

Chapter 57
Rubbing the center of her brows lightly, she thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute, tell Xuan Bing and Xuan Yu that I need to pick a few girls in my yard. The people who serve you are the most reassuring people in Xuan Xin Palace. Just choose from the people brought by Xuan Bing and Xuan Yu."

Yanxia nodded and agreed: "The maid who is serving..."

"You don't have to worry about that. Auntie said earlier that she would bring over Aunt Jianqiu, the mother's personal maid, and Nurse Su, the wet nurse." Back then, Aunt Jianqiu and Nurse Su were married to Xuanxin Palace. After the death, Xuan Qiming sent the two back to Xia's house for fear of his mother-in-law's sadness.

Yanxia's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "It's still my uncle who is thoughtful."

After solving the problem of the girl and the nanny, Yanxia happily started planning for Xuan Haiyue, "The palace lord is going to get married in one month, and the third uncle and wife said that the palace lord's dowry will be sent in a few days. Inferior to Miss Yang San. Let the shop pick some good ones and send them over later, and buy some from various places. Ah... and the palace master's wedding dress and dowry clothing..."

Xuan Haiyue sat on the side, looked at Yanxia with a smile and thought about it in surprise, her mind had already flown to a distant place.I really didn't expect that one day I would be sitting in the boudoir like an ordinary lady, waiting to get married. My mother must have felt the same way as me back then.It has long been known that Feng Wang has many flaws, but Xuan Haiyue didn't care too much about it.I don't have any expectations for love, as long as I can live my life in peace and happiness, it's not a bad thing.It's just... Thinking of the special status of Fengwang Mansion in Huaxia Kingdom, I couldn't help but frowned.

"Palace Master!" Yan Yun ran in from the door, "Palace Master, I just received a letter from the elder of Xuanxin Palace, please read it."

Xuan Haiyue took the letter, opened it and looked at it, her eyes lit up immediately, and she laughed: "It's a letter from Elder Yun Zhongjun, she said that she will come with Da Si Ming, Shao Si Ming and Shan Gui He Bo next month Attend the wedding in the capital, and personally send Bengong to get married."

"Really? Wow! The five elders came to the capital to send the Palace Mistress to get married, that would be great! It seems that the eighth elders are very optimistic about this marriage." Yan Yun said happily.

"Elder Sister! Eldest Sister!" Xuan Caiwei suddenly shouted excitedly, rushing into the room like a gust of wind.

Xuan Haiyue put down the letter and looked at her sister with a smile: "What's the matter! So happy?"

Xuan Cai took a breath, walked forward with a joyful smile, took Xuan Haiyue's arm and said, "Elder Sister, follow me to the front hall to see who is here!"

Xuan Haiyue looked at Xuan Caiwei suspiciously, and frowned slightly.But Xuan Caiwei dragged her to the front hall.

In the hall, a tall woman in a red waist-length skirt stood in the hall, looking around.

"Peiling?" Xuan Haiyue called softly when she saw the woman's back.

The woman in red turned her head, and it was Jiang Peiling who hadn't seen her for a long time. Seeing Xuan Haiyue, Jiang Peiling said happily, "Haiyue!"

Seeing their best friend whom they hadn't seen for a long time, the two hugged each other, and their joy was beyond words: "Pei Ling, long time no see! When did you arrive in the capital? Why didn't you tell me."

Jiang Peiling held Xuan Haiyue's hand: "I also just arrived in the capital the day before yesterday. I wanted to come to see you yesterday, but some things at home delayed me. I just ran into Xiaowei at the gate of Xuanfu today, so I came in. Look, I also brought you a lot of our Lingnan specialties." Jiang Peiling pointed to a pile of specialties on the table and Xuan Haiyue sat on a chair and said happily.

Xuan Haiyue looked at the special products brought by Jiang Peiling, and said happily: "Thank you, you can stay in the capital for a longer time this time."

"Of course, I just arrived in the capital the day before yesterday, and I heard that you were given a marriage to Feng Wang, and you will be married in April. We have to get together during this month, otherwise we will not have the chance to meet you when you become relatives." It's so convenient now."

"Oh? You also know that I was given a marriage."

Jiang Peiling raised her eyebrows and said: "Isn't it? You and Yang Yuting from the Yang family are the most famous in the entire capital now. I heard that you were rumored to be a three-none daughter, and you were divorced by King Qi, so I was so angry Itchy, I really don’t know who ruined your reputation like this. Later I heard that you were married to King Feng. Although I was worried for you, I also knew that the emperor’s fate was difficult. But don’t be sad, the recent Yang Yuting is not much better."

"What's wrong?" Xuan Haiyue asked.

"Don't you know? It was rumored in the aristocratic family early this morning that Yang Yuting was seductive and hooked up with her cousin-in-law before King Qi broke up the engagement. Hmph! Such a shameless person really embarrasses everyone. Thanks to Yang Yuting being known as the number one beauty in the capital!" Jiang Peiling sneered, recalling Yang Yuting's haughty look back then, and her damaged reputation now.

"Haiyue, I only found out today that Yang Shangshu and Yang Guoyan are your cousin, and Mrs. Yang is your uncle. So, the Yang family is still distant relatives of your Xuan family."

Xuan Haiyue secretly paid, this relative is too far away, the Yang family has never been on good terms with the Xuan family.This time, in order to become King Qi, the Yang family did not hesitate to spread rumors to tarnish their reputation, and even entrusted Yang Yuting to seduce Xuanyuan Orange.Coupled with the fact that the previous two generations had such an unpleasant quarrel, the entanglements between the Xuan and Yang families could not be counted in a single slap.

"By the way, Haiyue, in five days' time it will be the Shangsi Festival on March [-]rd. On that day, according to the custom, the royal family will worship ancestors during the day, but at night there will be a Hundred Flowers Festival in the palace. At that time, the capital will have status Young talents and ladies from all walks of life will participate, and this year's leader of the Hundred Flowers Festival will be selected. It is said that the emperor who has performed outstandingly in the Hundred Flowers Festival will personally propose a marriage, and for the young lady who does not leave the door and does not step out of the door, the Hundred Flowers Festival is a special event. It's a rare good time to choose a husband and son-in-law. Do you want to participate?" Jiang Peiling looked at Xuan Haiyue and asked.

"If it is true as you said, then King Qi and Yang Yuting will also participate, right?" Xuan Haiyue asked.

"Yes, you may not know that you don't live in the capital often. Yang Yuting has participated in the Hundred Flowers Festival every year since three years ago. She was the leader of the Hundred Flowers last year, and she was awarded the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital at that time. As for King Qi , he does not participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival every year, as far as I know he only participated in the year before last and last year, as for this year... since he was given a marriage, he should also participate because of Yang Yuting's relationship. "

"That's it..." Xuan Haiyue hesitated, rubbing her eyebrows and thinking about whether she should participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival.

Jiang Peiling looked at Xuan Haiyue's indecision, worried in her heart, held Xuan Haiyue's hand rubbing the center of her brows, and said firmly: "Haiyue, don't hesitate, in fact, I want you to participate. If you are still unmarried It’s okay for everyone to be a lady. If you don’t participate in this kind of festival, you can say that you are not feeling well, or you like quiet life. But now it is different. You will marry into the Fengwang Mansion soon, and you will have to take care of the Fengwang Mansion in the future. If you don’t fit in like this Groups will cause people to criticize you, saying that you are self-confident. Besides, there were rumors in the capital that you were a three-year-old and a nymphomaniac. Take this opportunity to let those people see that you are not as bad as the outside world. So Go. I know some friends who will also participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival, and I will introduce you to them when the time comes."
