boudoir

Chapter 259
When they arrived at the front hall, the little concubine Qi followed the queen and the eldest princess to Qingning Palace to watch the ceremony.

Liu Lisao saw that Mrs. Mei was sitting around with a few acquainted wives, so she didn't bother to go there, and then looked in the crowd to see if there were any acquaintances, so she was patted on the shoulder, and said in a delicate voice: "I Mrs. General, the two of us have been looking for you for a long time, so you are here!"

Liuli turned her head and saw Lu Muyang standing there proudly with her hands behind her back. Lou Mingzhu smiled and looked at herself, so she smiled too, took their hands and said, "I'm looking for you too. I just went to the back hall to meet the empress. I just came out." While searching to see if there is any place to sit, Lu Muyang said: "You really are, you still think of yourself as a little concubine back then, look over there!"

Liu Li followed her finger to look, and saw that there was already a row of signs hanging on the other side of the side hall, with many small characters written on them.Lu Muyang walked her to the other side while holding her arm, and said: "The side halls have been partitioned into small tearooms, and some old wives can't come, so the signboard of your wife, General Zhenguo, is on the first floor. Six! The sign of our palace is not here, so I can’t even enter, we just came to you for tea!”

"You are the magistrate of the majestic county, how can there be any place you can't enter? Just talk nonsense." Liuli knew that they were deliberately flattering her, and in front of these handkerchiefs, she had recovered her natural vivacity On the naughty side, the gloom in my heart for the past few days suddenly dissipated.Yuegui headed over to find the sixth-ranked sign, and then stood at the door waiting for them to enter, and then went in together with Haitang and Lu's and Lou's maids.

Because Mrs. Mei was caught by the wives of several generals under King Dingbei to talk, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qi from Zhongyonghou's Mansion also found their acquaintances and started chatting.When Yang saw Duan Wenhui coming from under the curtain, she waved to her, and when she came, she said to her: "There were so many people in the past, and I didn't have time to talk to you in the future. How are you doing in Dingbei Palace these two days?" ?”

Duan Wenhui bit her lower lip, with some hatred in her eyes, she supported Lan Jia for a long time before saying: "He still ignores me. I don't understand. After all, I still have a childhood friendship with him. How can he become more and more serious?" Are you indifferent to me? Is the concubine of He Mansion really that good?"

Yang sighed, "It's not like you don't know that he's had that temper since he was a child. I've already advised you to let it go, but you didn't listen! It's good right now, and I was delayed too, and you can't get in with him." go in!"

"Who says I can't get in?" Duan Wenhui blushed, "No one knows him better than me. I was able to get close to him before, and I will certainly be able to in the future. Even if I can't be his first wife, I can still be his second wife." .When I get to him, one day he will all be mine."

"Ping Wife?!" Yang stared at her, excited: "You are a dignified and noble daughter, and you actually want to be his Ping Wife? Where are you going to put me and your father? Besides, are they The marriage that the Holy Majesty refers to, even if you are his second wife, if you want to squeeze her out, other than letting him divorce her, you have to go through the Holy Majesty and the Empress! No kidding, a finger marriage cannot be annulled easily, do you think it is possible? ?!"

"What's impossible?" Duan Wenhui looked around and said slowly: "She hasn't had sex with him for a long time now, they pretended well, thinking I didn't know. But, it's not so easy to hide it from me. Yes. Now that she has offended the prince, how long does Mother think he can tolerate her? Isn't it a good thing for Zhongyonghou's mansion when I enter the palace and become a clan wife? Our mansion is also empty now, There is no real power for several generations, and there is almost no weight to speak in Beijing. Otherwise, can grandparents retreat to their ancestral home? Can you retreat to stand behind Mei Shi today? Today, there is no tea room specially prepared for married women. Is it our share?!"

Hearing this, Yang's expression couldn't help but darken.Those who have not experienced the pain of having a title without a real job will not know it.It sounds good to be an aristocrat, but apart from the real clan and royal family, who would regard the suddenly rising Marquis of a different surname as a real aristocrat?Or like King Dingbei, who has achievements, meritorious service, holds a heavy army, and has won the trust of the Holy One. Compared with those princes and princes who sit back and enjoy their achievements, they have more weight.Duan Wenhui's words actually reached her heart.She is the wife of the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion. After the old master leaves, the couple will become nobles. Why doesn't she want to be a real noble lady?If Wenhui married Qi Yunhao, she would also be able to bring a few children from the house into the camp, so that she would not have to worry about the future, what a perfect thing it would be!

Thinking of this, her heart became alive, and she looked at the tea room specially prepared for the wife of General Zhen Guo in the distance, and said: "Just now you said that she offended the crown prince, but you didn't know that she even gave the crown prince a concubine. excuse me!"

Duan Wenhui frowned when she heard that the Crown Princess spoke of Liuli in public in the inner palace earlier, and smiled after half a day, and said: "Although the Crown Princess has lost her dignity by doing this, because of this , it is of great benefit to me. Didn’t my mother just say that it would be difficult to squeeze her out? Then I will continue to increase the weight on the prince’s side, until Shengshang and Yunhao can’t bear it anymore, let’s see if they will not take this right Make room for me!"

The small tea room set up in the palace is separated by screens, it only seats a few people, but it is spacious and comfortable.Liuli sat on one side with Lu and Lou, and in front of them was Mei's land.

The maid came in with the tea fruit, and Lu Muyang waved them off, leaving only his own people by his side to talk freely.Hearing Lou Mingzhu say a few words about her engagement, she suddenly saw a green figure flashing outside the door, and Pingping Tingting went to Mei's room in front.

Because Liuli was sitting under the screen separated from Mei's teahouse, facing the person who walked over, she recognized Duan Wenhui, and Lu Muyang also recognized her, and wanted to say hello to her, but they had already gone in, so she turned her head Come and said: "I heard that she has been staying in your palace for the past two days, how is she not with your general?" She has already said that she will kiss now, and she is engaged to the son of Chen Guogong, so she can walk around with Liuli who has become a kiss. More, less contact with Duan Wenhui and the others who are not engaged.

The matter of Duan Wenhui and Qi Yunhao was originally known only to a few close people, but in the past six months, it has somehow become known to everyone, but any news about these two people will be spread out for a long time, because now they are involved again Liuli, so she became more concerned.

"Yes," Lou Mingzhu also said, "Not long ago I heard that you had a quarrel with the general. What does it mean that she ran away to live in your house?" Qi Yunhao has been praying for many years, and now that she has not given up on getting married, she looks down on her from the bottom of her heart. To put it harshly, she is a bit cheap.

Liuli knew that they would not be able to get around this hurdle, so she simply glanced at the two of them and said, "What can we do? It's all done."

"That's not right!" Lu Muyang said, "If she dies, she won't live in your house. She's a girl's house, so she should care about her reputation anyway?" At this time, she didn't care about friendship anymore. In her opinion, what Duan Wenhui did was just wrong.

Liuli really doesn't want to talk about this matter, even if such a rival in love wants to fight, she has to give her a reason to fight, right?Besides, the partition has ears, what sound can a screen block out, so he said: "You two talk about something else."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that the shadow of the screen behind her was leaning forward. The sense of crisis she had cultivated for many years instantly made her vigilant, and she quickly jumped forward. The screen fell to the ground with a bang!
Lu Muyang screamed in fright, and Lou Mingzhu stared at the fallen screen with wide eyes, and couldn't help but turn pale!Yuegui Haitang rushed over, pulled Liuli to a safer place and stopped.

This is a large screen weighing two hundred catties, and it is inlaid with Western-style printed glass. If it falls on a person, it will break the bones even if they don't die!
Almost at the same time when she stood firmly, Liuli quickly looked over there, and suddenly saw a green skirt quickly disappear behind another screen.

——Duan Wenhui? !She did it?

"Liuli, are you alright?!"

Lu Muyang and Lou Mingzhu rushed over to support her.At this time, the people outside the tea room heard the screams and couldn't help but look over, and some people who were close had already surrounded them.Duan Wenhui and Qi Mulan also came in together, stood at the door and looked inward in panic, and when they saw the broken screen glass, their faces became even more panicked.

Liuli looked at her eight-panel moonlight dress, then suddenly turned her head and grabbed Lou Mingzhu's hand, and fell down on the armchair with a painful expression.Lou Mingzhu was pulled by her and leaned over. Just as she was about to ask, Liuli whispered in her ear: "I'm fine, look at Duan Wenhui's skirt."

Lou Mingzhu has always been careful, and she was already wondering why the good screen would suddenly fall down. Hearing what she said, she looked at Duan Wenhui's skirt, and saw a slit about two inches long, and she immediately understood .

The large screen with eight openings, let alone the base is very stable, but it is something in the palace, how could it be so unstable?Apart from being pushed down, there is no second possibility!And Liuli was sitting under the screen at that time, even if the screen was pushed down by her, it should have fallen to that side, there is absolutely no reason for it to fall on her, since it fell to this side, it must be pushed by someone from that side!They saw Duan Wenhui go to the front tea room with their own eyes. At that time, Mrs. Mei was not there, and there was no one else in there. What was she going there for?And after the screen fell down, there was no one there. Based on this, who else could there be besides her? !And the slit on the hem of the skirt was probably torn as a result of going out in a hurry!

Lou Mingzhu glanced at Duan Wenhui, saw her panicked face, didn't see her under the skirt, she was obviously busy with acting, and hadn't noticed that yet, so she sneered in her heart, followed Liuli's tricks, and said loudly: "You hurt me!" Where is it?! Try to see if you can move?"

　Well, it's great to see everyone expressing their opinions, thank you very much.this week should be fine
