Chapter 148: lick the dog

Wait, she actually got into Xie Wei's carriage? !

After Jiang Xuening held the red mark on her palm and blown it for a long time, she finally realized belatedly, she couldn't help but tremble all over, and looked up.

The curtains on both sides of the compartment are thick and tightly pressed.

Even with the cold wind howling outside, it was difficult to lift a corner of the curtain.

It is indeed Xie Wei's own carriage.

The only light comes from the window sash carved with rhombus flowers behind it, shining on the snow fox fur covering the carriage, there is a kind of winter paleness, but also a bit of soft warmth. The memorial on the small square table has been removed first, not even a scrap of paper is left, it is clean, only the faint fragrance of books and ink is still wafting in the air.

In the left-hand corner is a stack of books.

Jiang Xuening didn't dare to turn it over, she just looked carefully, and it seemed that they were all Buddhist scriptures, and the most obvious one was the Shurangama Sutra. It was probably kept in the car, a book that I flipped through from time to time, and it didn't look very new.

I read so many Buddhist scriptures and have few desires. It is no wonder that although I am in the imperial court, I have passed the age of the previous life but never married. I have never heard of any concubine in the family. I guess it is a monk and Taoist who grows his hair in the secular world...

"Uninteresting, boring."

When she saw the words "Shurangama Sutra", she couldn't help rolling her eyes, and for a moment she put the surprise that "she actually got in the Xie Wei carriage" to the back of her mind. After all, Xie Wei is her husband, and if her student had an accident, Xie Wei borrowed a carriage for her, so it didn't seem to be a big deal.

All the way to the front of the palace gate, it was already dusk.

Daoqin asks her to get off the car.

Jiang Xuening thanked him, because he knew that the young man looked introverted and silent, but his good arrows were deadly arrows, and he had seen it more than once, so he didn't dare to reach out to help his hand, so he just jumped out of the car down.

During Yang Zhi Zhai, everyone had already arrived.

Jiang Xuening, who was delayed in the road, was undoubtedly the last one.

Sitting among several companions, Xiao Shu was wearing a graceful apricot-yellow palace attire, holding a delicate golden hand stove in one hand, and holding chess pieces in the other, playing chess with Chen Shuyi who was opposite.

In the past, she was as gorgeous as a peony.

But when Jiang Xuening saw it when she came in from the corridor, she felt that there seemed to be some indelible gloom hidden between her carefully drawn eyebrows and eyes, so she couldn't help but smile when she thought of the good shows that had been staged in the Duke's Mansion these days.

Chen Shuyi saw her first, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile: "I wonder when the second girl Jiang will recover from her illness, and if she won't come again today, I didn't expect to arrive just after reading. Looking at the second girl Jiang's complexion, it is true It will do well."

Jiang Xuening didn't seem to understand the meaning hidden in the words, and replied with a smile: "Isn't that right. Although people are sick at home, they don't need to go to such a boring school. Listening to the teachers' noise all day long, life is too rough Cozy. Not only did I not lose weight, I’m afraid I gained two catties at home.”

Zhou Baoying was originally lying on the edge of the chessboard, eagerly watching, wishing to stretch out her hands to help Xiao Shu and Chen Shuyi play chess, but when she saw Jiang Xuening coming in and heard her say this, she was in a bit of pain. On the prime minister's face, his cheeks puffed up, and he said pitifully and enviously: "Sister Ning must have eaten a lot of delicious food at home, right? Oh, sister Ning is sick, and sister Yao is sick at home and can't come. Why should I So edible, so strong, he never got sick since he was a child? How good would it be to hide under the covers and eat in this cold day..."

Everyone was speechless.

Jiang Xuening glanced around, only to find that there was indeed one person missing, so she couldn't help but pick: "Miss Yao isn't there either?"

On both sides of the chessboard are Xiao Shu and Chen Shuyi, next to Zhou Baoying who is watching chess; Sitting in the corner drinking tea is You Yue, who has never confronted her, and only looks at her with a sneer; standing in front of the window staring at her. Frowning at the shape of the window pane, it was Fang Miao who was pondering about Feng Shui and Feng Shui; the timid Yao Rongrong sat opposite You Yue with a needle and thread, embroidering a handkerchief; the most demure one was Jiang Xuehui , holding a volume of books in his hand, sitting behind the half-high vase with red plums in it, raised his eyes to look at her, then lowered his head to continue reading.

Now there should be nine companions reading together.

But even Jiang Xuening herself was missing one person, Yao Xi, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who had had many quarrels with Jiang Xuening.

It wasn't until this time that Xiao Shu raised her eyes lightly, as if she could see her doubts, and reminded her with a somewhat mocking tone: "Didn't the sister of the Yao family be punished to go home because of the matter of Mrs. Wen Zhaoyi? She has been ill for many days. , I can’t get up on the bed. Miss Jiang Er seems to be looking for her at the moment, it’s really a noble person who forgets things."

Who didn't know that Jiang Xuening had an argument with Yao Xi because of Zhang Zhe?

At first it was Yao Xi who wanted to withdraw.

Later, when Yu Ruyi was involved in the case, he met Zhang Zhe in the Palace of Compassionate Ning, but he changed his mind and did not want to withdraw from the marriage. Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Zhe took the initiative to withdraw the marriage. Although his words were very cautious, Yao Xi was always a face-saving person.

The feud with Jiang Xuening was deadly.

Now that Zhang Zhe was promoted to a higher level in the previous dynasty, he was favored by the Holy Majesty and had a good reputation among the common people. If Yao Xi himself were here, would he feel a pain in his face?

Hearing Xiao Shu's words, Jiang Xuening was a bit interesting. Although she was surprised why she was ill, but thinking about this person's fate, she didn't bother to find out the reason, so she just said: "It's a bit disappointing, but the future is long, and we will see him soon." when."

Seeing her calm demeanor, Xiao Shu inexplicably thought of Xiao Dingfei.

I heard that her "elder brother" sent most of the many treasures bestowed by the Holy Majesty to Jiang's Mansion not long ago, to curry favor with Jiang Xuening, and thinking of her father and younger brother saying that they saw Jiang Xuening in Tongzuo, I sneered in my heart With a sound.

She pinched the chess piece slightly with her fingers, suppressing the anger accumulated these days, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Since the second girl Jiang is here, we are all here, so let's go to the second palace of Ci Ning and Kun Ning to report to you." Greetings, Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager."

It has been five days since the beginning of spring, but the cold wind is still howling in the north.

When a group of eight people came out from Yangzhizhai, they all wore thick cloaks, or carried muffs or hand stoves, and walked along the vermilion palace wall.

The solemn and magnificent palace has a kind of crampedness that is too regular.

Having seen the rough and natural mountains, rivers and mountains outside, experienced thrilling adventures, and saw the glazed tiles and carved beams again, Jiang Xuening couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and she was a little lost in her steps.

You Yue is enjoying the spring breeze these days.

One is that the silver stocks of Ren's Salt Works soared. Seeing that the situation is very good, she has specially sent someone to Shu to help and take care of You Fangyin. In fact, she is optimistic about her and the situation of Ren's Salt Works, so that she can take it secretly. If you get more dividends, the silver stocks in your hands can be sold at a good price.

The second is that without Jiang Xuening's bad luck to find her, her luck improved again, and she was able to apply for the name of the king of Linzi's selection of the princess. I heard that His Royal Highness Linzi loves piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is an elegant person. On the day of the selection, she only needs to show her skills well, and then spend a lot of money to get someone to dress up beautifully. She may not be able to win Shen Jie's favor and become a princess in one step.

At this time, when I turned around and saw Jiang Xuening's expression, it was not as bright and scorching as before, and I couldn't help but feel a bit superior in my heart——

In the past, everyone knew that Jiang Xuening was under the protection of the brave and resolute Hou Shizi Yanlin, but the Hou Mansion collapsed last year;

Later His Royal Highness Linzi got to know her again, and he showed care for her in words, but unfortunately, now that Shen Jie is choosing his concubine, Jiang Xuehui was the one reported by the Jiang Mansion, and she has no role in Jiang Xuening at all;

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess did favor Jiang Xuening, but it was different now, Shen Zhiyi was going to Tatar to marry soon, even if she could protect Jiang Xuening, how long would she be able to protect Jiang Xuening?

Isn't the current Jiang Xuening a grasshopper after autumn, who can't jump around for a few days?

You Yue's scar was healed and she forgot about the pain, she totally forgot the lessons she learned from Jiang Xuening in the past, she sighed strangely, and said: "This is going to see the Empress Dowager, why is Miss Jiang looking so sad? "

Jiang Xuening looked back at her.

You Yue wore a brightly colored cloak, and laughed: "The queen mother, Lafayette, heard the news that Ding Fei's son came back a few days ago, she was so excited that she passed out with joy, and it took a few days to recover from the lingering sick bed. I don’t know whose bad luck I’m looking for. No one can protect you now, and I heard that Ding Fei’s son is extremely filial to the empress dowager. These days, he usually comes to the palace to pay his respects, and his temper is not very good. If he sees Miss Jiang's posture, tsk..."

Her words were intended to ridicule Jiang Xuening, after all, she did not know the inside story of the Duke's House and Dingfei's son, so her tone was particularly bitter.

But who would have thought that the first person whose expression changed was Xiao Shu.

Before Jiang Xuening could figure out how to answer her, when she looked up and saw a group of people coming out from the direction of the Compassionate Ning Palace, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Xiao Dingfei did visit the Empress Dowager Xiao in the palace quite often these days. After all, the old woman fainted from "surprise" when she heard that he was still alive. Of course, he had to hang out in front of the old witch from time to time, and by the way, go with a few princes who can enter and leave the palace. Xungui's children mixed together, and also beat up his relationship in the capital.

At this moment, Ann has been invited in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and he is coming out with King Linzi, King Yanping and others.

This is a good move, just bumped into Xiao Shu and the others.

Xiao Shu was originally a bright pearl in Yangzhizhai's companionship, and everyone looked up to her, and now she is going to pay a visit to the Queen Mother, so naturally she walks ahead of everyone.

Xiao Dingfei saw her at a glance.

At that moment, the well-defined chin was raised, showing an arrogant and contemptuous gesture that did not put Xiao Shu in his eyes, he walked forward with his hands behind his back, snorted flirtatiously, and looked at Xiao Shu's luxurious palace dress: "How much do you put on the pheasant?" A picked hair can also fool people into acting as a phoenix!"

Everyone on Yangzhizhai's side was stunned for a while, one didn't expect that the Prince Dingfei would utter such obscene words, and the other didn't expect that he would be so rude to Xiao Shu who is also of the Xiao family blood!

You Yue's heart skipped a beat almost immediately.

Xiao Shu's complexion has turned livid: Ever since he gained favor from the emperor, Xiao Dingfei's behavior in the Duke's Mansion has become more and more arrogant, and he has already become lawless, trampling the faces of Xiao's family to the ground! Even though she was a charming girl in the past, she is helpless when she encounters this kind of person, and she seems stretched!

In front of so many people, of course she couldn't back down, and she would reprimand her as soon as she opened her mouth: "It's fine for you to talk nonsense elsewhere, but now in the imperial palace, you dare to speak nonsense—"

But before he finished speaking, Xiao Dingfei's eyes suddenly lit up.

It was a mistake, and suddenly saw Jiang Xuening behind.

Immediately shouted in surprise and joy: "Second girl!"

In an instant, all eyes were on Jiang Xuening.

Jiang Xuening's scalp was numb for a while, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she thought, "The big thing is not good"!

Sure enough, the next moment Xiao Dingfei, the troublemaker, had already walked in front of her, looking very happy, just like a wanderer in a foreign land meeting his relatives, how can he still see the slightest arrogance before?

He raised his hand and bowed to her.

He said: "I didn't expect to meet Miss Jiang Er in the palace. It's really a great fate! Last time I asked someone to carry those things to your mansion. Are you satisfied with using them?"

The gazes of everyone around have become inconceivable, including the monk Shen Jie, the king of Linzi, and the young King Yanping at the other end. They couldn't help but widen their eyes, as if seeing some rare spectacle in the world.

Jiang Xuening remembered Xie Wei's warning.

She forcibly suppressed the smile she had hung up by seven points, showing a little indifference, and after paying back the gift, she said: "Your Majesty gave me such a generous gift, but I received it for nothing, I am really terrified, please take it back sometime. "

Xiao Dingfei's handsome and romantic face suddenly collapsed, he couldn't believe what she said, and he also noticed her cautiousness and alienation, and cursed in his heart, "I don't know which **** is secretly obstructing him from holding Jiang Xuening's thigh." , but a pitiful expression instantly changed on his face.

He said quietly: "The second girl doesn't like talking to me anymore."

The voice is not loud, hiding a little resentment; although tall, but standing in front of Jiang Xuening, she is very obedient, almost like an obedient puppy, it is a different person from when she was facing Xiao Shu just now!

Jiang Xuening suddenly became ill.

King Yanping almost dropped his jaw to the ground.

Even Linzi Wang Shen Jie couldn't help but change his gaze, looking at Xiao Dingfei and Jiang Xuening.

On Yang Zhizhai's side, You Yue was dumbfounded: How could it be...

I just mocked Jiang Xuening just now!

After leaving Yanlin, instead of choosing Princess Linzi, even the Eldest Princess Leyang, who has always protected her and misbehaved, is going to make a kiss! She originally thought that from now on, Jiang Xuening would have her tail between her legs and rely on others.

But who would have thought that Xiao Dingfei, the son of Duke Ding, who was in full swing in the capital recently, would rush to her again!

this woman...

This woman!

What kind of demonic method is there to deceive people? !
