atypical prostitute

Chapter 93

Because of the thrilling incident in the first five years, Princess Yan was already grateful to Li Ci, not to mention that she had a husband and no wife under her knees, and Li Ci was the illegitimate daughter of the eldest princess. .At this moment, seeing Li Ci in a bustling place but vaguely uneasy, he was immediately taken aback.

It's just that she is ignorant about the royal affairs, and she doesn't know what Li Ci is worried about. She takes it for granted that she cares about the marriage of Liu Jiaerlang and the Lu family's daughter-in-law. With an idea, he raised his glass and said, "I haven't congratulated Si Niangzi on having a younger sister yet."

Li Ci was taken aback for a moment, but fortunately he was nudged by someone behind him with an elbow. He came to his senses and walked slowly to Mrs. Wu Dehou, pulled up the red plum that had been renamed Bai Yinmei, and told Princess Yan: "Amei Because of the grace of saving my life, I originally wanted to ask the elders of the family to adopt me as a righteous daughter. Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Bai came to visit the day before yesterday, I hit it off with Ah Mei and formed a good relationship."

Bai Yinmei also smiled naturally towards everyone.

He was originally born soft and feminine like a woman, but at this moment he deliberately dressed up. His long hair was combed into two smooth braids and then tied into a bun. He was only decorated with gold-encrusted jade belts. His beautiful features outlined his eyebrows, eyes and lips. Grains of flower tin, paired with light green men's clothing, can be described as heroic and charming.

"He is really a beauty, even if he wears men's clothes, he can tell at a glance, how can such a beauty be a man."

Mrs. Yixinghou complimented Mrs. Wudehou, but Li Ci was also disrespectful, although she couldn't help muttering in her heart: "It must be a boy if she is so cute". No matter what era, fake mothers are creatures that make women speechless.

However, Li Ci was a little confused about Mrs. Wu Dehou's initiative to accept Hongmei as a righteous daughter.

Although it has been passed down for generations, the Marquis of Wude's Mansion has gradually shown its decline, but after all, it is a wealthy family. Even if its glory is no longer, it has not been reduced to the situation of accepting a slave to be a righteous daughter in order to flatter the Fu family.

Could it be that Mrs. Bai really fell in love with Hongmei at first sight?Li Ci didn't believe it.

Wu Dehou's foundation is in the southwest, and there is no possibility of selling face to the old people in Xiliang.Moreover, this righteous girl only verbally gave her background, and most of the time on weekdays she was still at Fu's house, following Li Ci's side, but went to Wu Dehou's house for a light meal during the New Year's holidays.

Just looking at the surface, Wu Dehou's behavior this time is indeed a deliberate clinging.

It's a pity that Li Ci is not confident enough to think that her status as the illegitimate daughter of the eldest princess is worthy of Wu Dehou's coming to beg for food.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief!

On Li Ci's face, he and Mrs. Wu Dehou were laughing and chatting, but in his heart, his abacus was crackling.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wu Dehou chose Long Yinmei.He grew up as a stand-in for the Prince of Xiliang, with a delicate and cautious personality, scheming, and now he is responsible for the restoration of the country, hanging out with those old officials every day, trying to take advantage of him, but it is not so easy.

I'm afraid that each other has evil plans in their hearts, but in the end they don't know who gets the upper hand.

Thinking of this episode, Li Ci glanced at Bai Yinmei.

As expected, she was born in the imperial palace, and she also suffered from subjugation. At this moment, she was given a stage. Bai Yinmei is really good at dancing with long sleeves, and she is exquisite in all aspects. What she said made all the ladies and wives present feel elated, forgetting her humble origin.

Even the wives who cared the most about family status also thought that Bai Yinmei was really lovely, but it's a pity that she didn't have a son-in-law, otherwise they really wanted to adopt her as a daughter-in-law.

After such a round of entertainment, after three rounds of drinking, five flavors of food, singing and dancing, each other was a little bit drunk.While the wine was in full swing, Princess Yan got up and said: "Just now, the female historian reported that the snowstorm outside has stopped, and it is a good time to step on the snow to find fragrance."

Immediately, with the support of the female officer, she got up and walked out of the warm pavilion.Li Ci didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed behind.

Bai Yinmei noticed that the concubine said "Treading the snow to find fragrance" instead of "Treading the snow to find plums", and she also pleaded guilty to Mrs. Bai, and walked quickly to Li Ci's side, while buttoning the fur coat for her, While talking intimately.

"That Mrs. Bai, what's going on?"

Li Ci asked curiously, Bai Yinmei pursed her lips and said, "I haven't shown signs of taking advantage of it yet, but it probably won't be sincere."

"she……"

Li Ci suddenly remembered an old incident in Chengshi five years ago, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and said, "Have you met the eldest son of Marquis Wude?"

Bai Yinmei knew what she was worried about, and said disdainfully: "What did you see him doing, could it be that women are addicted to wearing clothes?"

Li Ci then changed the subject and said, "Do you know what treasure Princess Yan has prepared?"

"I've already found out. King Yan got funding from King Liang half a year ago to build a glazed house. It's freezing outside, but inside the house is gentle and rainy, and the seasons are like spring. What's especially rare is that the glazed house is crystal clear, and the night is spectacular and the sky is full of stars. In the daytime, you can see dark clouds and white dogs, just like a crystal palace."

Bai Yinmei said with great interest, no matter how old he is, he is still a child, and he has an instinctive curiosity and liking for rare things. When Li Ci heard that it was a glass greenhouse, he suddenly lost interest, but he couldn't bear to dampen his interest, so he had to do Look surprised.

Not long after, I saw the place covered by the flowers and branches, and the lights were shining brightly, which was extremely bright in the dark. All the women sighed in amazement, and led by the princess, they filed in.

It's actually a large greenhouse of more than [-] square meters!
The conservatory is made of pieces of one-foot-square pieces of glass, and the silver light is shining at the welds. It looks like a crystal palace when you see it in the dark, and it is so beautiful.

Needless to say, the beautiful scenery in the room is rockery, gurgling water, flying butterflies, and colorful flowers. What is especially rare is that the temperature is controlled just right, and spring flowers and autumn chrysanthemums bloom together. The condensed white lotus pond is no less impressive.

I don't know how much manpower and financial resources were consumed to build and maintain this big flower house.

In this era when glass was still a rarity, only the royal family could make such a big deal.

——Although the glass used is extremely uneven and the color difference is mottled, standing inside and looking outside, the dead branches and silhouettes are crooked and blurred.

Li Ci, the traveler, was surprised and moved, not to mention the local aborigines, who were all in shock and caressed the flowers and plants beside them, for fear that these beauties were due to the ingenuity of silk flowers.

Naturally, after confirmation, there will inevitably be a wave of compliments.

Only Bai Yinmei kept quiet, just casually looked at the blooming flowers in the greenhouse, and then returned to Li Ci's side in a dispirited mood.

Princess Yan saw him looking tired, she couldn't help being curious: "A Mei doesn't like it?"

Bai Yinmei said: "The flowers and plants are all very good, but I feel unbearable for violating the flower order."

Concubine Yan is a bold person, she just thought he was sentimental, she didn't think too much, she turned to Li Ci and said: "Li Ci is not young anymore, but is there any young talent in his fancy?"

Li Ci couldn't prevent her from asking this question, and hurriedly bowed his head and said in a low voice: "Marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. There is no reason for the daughter's family to make decisions on their own."

Princess Yan smiled and said, "That's the one I like."

Li Ci hurriedly said: "Mother did meet a few people for me, but Ah Mei has inquired about them one by one for me, and they are all..."

Princess Yan said "Oh", and glanced at Bai Yinmei who was beside her. He also spoke bluntly, and said: "My wife is such an outstanding character, how can those wine bags and rice bags and cursing villains be able to match? The good material and beautiful jade, just me, don't even think about it!"

Princess Yan was thoughtful after hearing this.

Seeing this, Li Ci vaguely guessed the implication of Princess Yan.

She wants to be a matchmaker for me?

For some reason, this thought came to Lici, and subconsciously took a peek at Bai Yinmei, who knew that he was looking at the sea of ​​flowers, whether he was avoiding it on purpose or he was really interested in flowers and plants.

Fortunately, Bai Yinmei quickly answered, pointing to a clump of peonies blooming softly behind the rockery, he said to Princess Yan: "Can I pick the flowers here?"

Concubine Yan wanted to say something to Li Ci, but because of Bai Yinmei's presence, she couldn't say it.Now that he offered to leave, he would naturally not refuse, saying: "If Ah Mei likes something, you can pick it yourself."

So Bai Yinmei trotted all the way.

As soon as she left, Princess Yan pulled Li Ci aside, and said caringly: "No matter how good the friendship in the boudoir is, you will be married after all. Amei and you are different from ordinary masters and slaves. It should be closer. You have to pay attention to the size, if it is too much, it is not good."

Li Ci immediately knew that Princess Yan probably saw something.Although she was open-minded in her heart, she also knew that people's mouths were the most vicious and sharp, so she hurriedly said: "Wangfei teaches, Li Ci accepts it."

Seeing that she was sincerely grateful, Princess Yan was a little proud, pointed in the direction of Mrs. Wu Dehou, and said: "Actually, this time Mrs. Bai accepted A Mei as a righteous daughter, but it was the credit of another person."

"Oh? Could it be the prince—"

Li Ci pretended to be grateful, she knew that it was not that simple behind adopting a foster daughter.

Since the Fu family doesn't have that much face, it's probably the royal family who spoke up.

The concubine did not turn around, pointing in the direction of the palace study and said: "You have seen that man, and he is talking with the prince about the border affairs at the mansion."

seen?Border affairs?

Coupled with the fact that he has a close relationship with Marquis Wu De, Li Ci immediately thought of a personal choice.

It's just that he had to pretend to be confused, and said: "Li Ci is dull, but please speak clearly, Wangfei."

Princess Yan said angrily: "Is the lady really unable to remember or are you shy? The first time the hero saves the beauty, you can't just forget it if you want to."

Li Ci blushed and said: "He is now an uncle of the country, I don't know how many ladies think about it, how can they remember me?"

It's just that he was shy on his lips, but in his heart he thought of the young man in brocade clothes and red horse.

At the juncture of life and death, there was such a heroic young man descending from the sky, if he said he didn't feel trembling, he would be pretentious.

Concubine Yan added fuel to the flames and said, "Si Niangzi, why should you underestimate yourself? He has the status of an uncle, but you are not an ordinary one. Besides, if you didn't have the intention, why did you know that you wanted to give Hongmei a decent background as soon as you returned to Beijing? Running around, it took a lot of favors to get Mrs. Wu Dehou to nod in agreement—”

"Maybe it's his warm heart."

Li Ci spoke hesitantly, feeling that these words were not convincing.

Sure enough, the concubine said narrowly: "This 'old way warm heart' is really enviable!"

Li Ci really blushed this time.

If it's true what Princess Yan said, Ye Chuan really has a heart for him, and it's not bad to marry him.

In terms of identity, he was born in the Ye family of Yinzhou. Although he is a collateral lineage, he is the descendant of Duke Ye, the most talented and brilliant person in the past century.

In terms of future, the eldest sister is the empress of the dynasty, and she is a relative of the country's uncle. She is deeply relied on by the court, and she has already been entrusted as a marquis at a young age.

What is commendable is that his military exploits are all earned by himself, and he has a peaceful and pragmatic personality, which can be described as a good match.

Marriage is a big event for two families. It is really great to find someone who is of great benefit to the family and likes me.

But after all, he had no actual contact with him, so Li Ci couldn't be sure that Ye Chuan was really a good man.

After all, there are too many people who have devoted themselves to the front and left behind.

At this time, Bai Yinmei had folded the peony and returned, what he carefully held in his hand was a rare double-petalled peony, with layers of bluish red petals, each edge has a line of gold thread, as if inlaid by a celestial maiden's skillful hands.

When Li Ci saw her, her eyes lit up immediately, and she said, "It's so beautiful!"

Princess Yan said: "Of course, this peony is a new species specially cultivated in the palace for the queen. It is called a drunken beauty. If it is not for General Xiaoye's face, I can't get it."

Li Ci listened to her not leaving Ye Chuan in every word, and did not make a show, allowing Bai Yinmei to put the peony hairpin on for him.

Bai Yinmei's movements are skillful and elegant, scratching his head with white jade to loosen half a strand of blue silk, and then steadily feeding the flower stalk in, the angle is just right, which further sets off the cloudy blue silk and the softness of the beauty.

Princess Yan couldn't help but praised: "Fourth Lady is more and more iconic."

Lici was facing the water to take a picture, and happened to see a clump of green clouds growing densely within easy reach, and emerald petals were woven like bright clouds, and said: "As expected of the palace, even this rare thing that can't be found can be seen everywhere."

Then he said "offend", carefully folded a scape and double flowers, and put the hairpin in Bai Yinmei's bun.

The full buds, like lotus petals, stop in the simple but delicate bun, which is cool and charming.

They stood with hairpins and flowers, Princess Yan looked at them and smiled without saying a word, thoughtful.
