Chapter 22 The second girl is more beautiful

She pushed away the gift boxes from Wan Yue and Lu Zhu's hands, and stood in front of Bei Sheng arrogantly, "You made me feel so proud, right? As soon as you came, my father wanted to drive me to Runing. I told him You, don’t even think about it! I will die in the capital. In the end, who of us is more powerful?"

Bei Sheng motioned for Lu Zhu and Wan Yue to pick up their things and go back first. She sneered at Nan Yin: "You are both stupid and bad! Why did I ever take the initiative to cause trouble? I just saw it coming. I spoke for my sister in front of my parents. Defend my sister, it’s okay if my sister doesn’t appreciate it, but let the servant girl use tripod vine to frame me for starving me? This idea was given to you by King Leping, right?”

Nanyin was surprised, "How did you know?"

Bei Sheng raised his brows, "That day I made you unable to stand down in front of Prince Leping and the Young Marquis. Then you ran out after them. Didn't you ask them for advice on how to treat me?"

Nanyin asked angrily: "Did Zhao Shu tell you?"

Beisheng smiled lightly and said nothing.

"No wonder, Zhao Shu has been so close to you recently. Who else could he have told you if he hadn't told you? Otherwise, the prince's plan is so clever that you would never have seen through it!" Nan Yin's spittle sprayed onto Bei Sheng's face.

Bei Sheng suppressed his smile and said calmly: "I don't know whether your prince's plan is clever or not, but if you don't want to go to Runing, I can help you."

She approached Nanyin, who looked frightened. Before she could react, Beisheng's palm pushed her chest.

There was only a three-foot-high railing between the corridor and the lotus pond next to it. Nanyin's foot slipped, her body leaned back, and she fell headfirst into the ice hole with a plop. The biting cold water instantly soaked through her thick clothes, and she wanted to He swam over, but was hampered by his wet and bulky clothes.

Beisheng stood on the shore and looked coldly at the beauty flopping in the ice hole, and said coldly: "I am helping my sister. If my sister is sick, I will not be able to go to Runing. I will call someone to rescue my sister, but for the sake of If my sister gets sicker, she can stay in the ice lake for a while."

Beisheng walked away as if nothing happened. She didn't feel very happy in her heart, it was just revenge for Nan Yin pushing her into the ice lake in her previous life.

She had Zhao Shu to rescue her at that time, but this time she let Nanyin freeze completely in the ice lake and then find someone to fish her out.

Nanyin wanted to call for help, but he was shivering all over and was too cold to speak. She clung to the edge of the ice and tried to climb up, but she saw that the thick ice would break into pieces and fall into the water as soon as she leaned on it.

She broke the ice near the shore bit by bit until her fingers hooked on the corridor railing. But she had exhausted her remaining strength and could not climb the three-foot-high railing no matter what. She could only wait silently, holding on to the railing to prevent herself from falling again.

Bei Sheng calculated that time was almost up before letting Jing Fan call someone.

This time, Nanyin not only suffered severe frostbite, but also suffered from wind chill and sprained her foot.

Mrs. Yun stayed by her bedside, and servants kept coming in and out of Qinghua Residence all night delivering soup and medicine.

Bei Sheng thought that Nan Yin was suing her in front of her parents like before. He didn't know if she had learned well or had other plans, claiming that she accidentally fell into the lake and would never do what others did.

However, Xu Zhaoting neither asked Nanyin to go to Runing nor asked Beisheng to go to Runing, which made Beisheng a little annoyed.

On the second day, Beisheng wore an almond-yellow velvet cloak and followed Zhao Shu to the eldest princess' mansion with the birthday gift prepared by Mrs. Yun.

Bei Sheng was sitting in the carriage, and Zhao Shu was accompanying him on horseback. Through the thin curtains, he asked cautiously: "The tenth day of the next month is also my birthday. Are the two girls coming?"

On the tenth day of next month, there are still twelve or three days left. Beisheng raised the curtains and looked at Zhao Shu with bright eyes, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's too late to prepare gifts in twelve or three days."

Zhao Shu couldn't hide his joyful smile, "It's great if you can come, what else are you talking about as a gift!"

Beisheng said: "Young Master, don't say polite words. If I really go empty-handed, I wonder how the Young Marquis will complain about me behind my back. You and I are also classmates. What gift does the Young Marquis want?" Come and prepare.”

"As long as you prepare it, everything will be fine." Zhao Shu's face turned red, and he ran forward with his horse's belly in his hands.

It is said that the soil and water in the capital nourish people. Beisheng arrived in the capital in less than 20 days, and she became more beautiful visibly to the naked eye. Zhao Shu got along with her every day, and her talents and learning were not only praised by Master Lang, not to mention Zhao Shu, a layman.

There are also daughters of officials from aristocratic families in the capital who are talented and learned, but their looks are not as good as Beisheng Wanyi. There are those in Zuixian Tower who are pretty, but they are full of obscenities and pink skulls. Looking at the entire capital, Beisheng is the only one who possesses both good looks and talent.

The carriage stopped in front of the princess's house. The driver put down the step stool. Zhao Shu reached out to hold Bei Sheng. Bei Sheng instinctively retracted his hand. Zhao Shu smiled awkwardly and stood aside.

Lu Zhu stepped forward to help, and Bei Sheng held Lu Zhu's wrist and got out of the carriage.

The person standing at the door to greet the guests was Xiao Xu, wearing a brown-brown long robe, a jade pendant on his waist, and a beige velvet cloak. He was tall and thin, elegant and gentle, and he treated people warmly.

He saluted Zhao Shu and Bei Sheng, and when he nodded in greeting, Bei Sheng couldn't help but smile at him.

After the gentle and elegant eyebrows were startled, she smiled back and said softly: "Miss Xu is here too."

Zhao Shu handed the gifts they brought to Xiao Xu and said with a smile: "Master Xu has mistaken the wrong person. This is not Miss Xu, but Miss Xu Er!"

Xiao Xu handed the gift to the boy behind him. There were various gift boxes piled high on the gift table next to him.

Xiao Xu cupped his hands and said, "I heard a few days ago that Duke An Guo found his long-lost second daughter. I didn't expect that she looks just like the eldest daughter. Miss Xu Er, please forgive me for admitting my mistake."

Zhao Shu chuckled, "They both look the same, but they are also different. The second girl... is more beautiful."

Xiao Xu looked embarrassed, and Beisheng smiled: "My sister and I are twins. I don't blame Master Xu for admitting his mistake. ..."

She wanted to say a few more words to Xiao Xu, but Zhao Shu pulled her sleeves and pulled her inside, "Let's go, Mr. Xu will be waiting at the door to welcome guests. Let's go in quickly and see if King Leping is here!"

After walking far away, Zhao Shu looked around and saw no one around, so he said in a low voice: "Don't get too close to Xiao Xu. Because of his background, no matter whether he is an official in the capital, He is from a wealthy family and no one likes him."

Bei Sheng said in a deep voice: "Just because of his birth? But he is the son of the eldest princess. He doesn't care about anything else. He should not be like this if he considers the eldest princess's contribution to the marriage."

Zhao Shu continued: "It's not just because of his bloodline, his character is also very bad. He is submissive, how can he have the demeanor of a noble child? Such a person is not said to be looked down upon by our well-mannered Dajing, but is put aside. Among the Tuoba clan, who are known for their bravery and savagery, they are even more despised. He has not learned the best of both worlds, so I don't blame others for not liking him."

Bei Sheng turned around and glanced at Xiao Xu, who was bowing to greet guests at the door of the house against the cold wind. He was obviously a very elegant and gentle person, but was he really so disdainful?
