Flowers are expensive

Chapter 457 The So-Called Revenge
Wuye smiled and said, "Yes, empress!"

As soon as I heard that the famous Mr. Huqiu in Songfenglou was going to tell a story in the lobby of Fuxing Inn, more people flocked here.Originally, Mr. Huqiu was famous for his storytelling in the city, and the venue was full, and those with money could not squeeze in, and those without money could not afford the entrance fee and tea money.I heard that today's storytelling is free, and all the expenses are covered by the side concubine of the palace, and everyone ran to take up the vacant seats in high spirits, for fear of missing this good opportunity!
When the Fuxing Inn was talking about the book lively, the secretary had already rushed back to report to Zhang Xianchu.Zhang Xianchu left the yamen a long time ago and hid at home to be served by Duo Xia.After listening to the clerk's words, Zhang Xianchuxu squinted his eyes, tapped the handrail with his fingers and said, "What does Liang Xixi want to do? Does it stop?" "Why don't you let her go? See what she can do." Come on! It’s out of character for a side concubine to hang out with those people in public to listen to books! At worst, when Mr. Bingcan asks about it, you can just make excuses to get over it! Originally, she shouldn’t care about this as a woman Shit thing!"

"Then Liang Xixi is not an easy person to deal with! If I don't go, she might have to wait a day!" After Zhang Xianchu saw how powerful Xixi was last time, he still had lingering fears about her and refused to confront her head-on.

"My lord is going, she will definitely be questioned by her, and it will be even more difficult to step down at that time."

"Yeah!" Zhang Xianchu lay on the couch and said, "This woman really doesn't play by the rules! I didn't expect her to make trouble like this. How did Zhao Yuanyin marry such a woman?"

"Are you going or not, my lord?"

When Zhang Xianchu was really deliberating, Duoxia beside him said, "I have an idea."

"You said."

"It's better to let Tang Xuanzhen go and perfunctory for the adults."

"Her?" Zhang Xianchu shook his head and said, "They all come from Youwang's Mansion, a nest of snakes and rats, will she help me deal with it?"

Duo Xia handed over the candied fruit plate and said with a smile: "My lord never goes to Tang Xuanzhen's place, so I don't know how much she hates Liang Xixi."

Zhang Xianchu smiled contemptuously and said, "Why don't you know? I saw it on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last time. She desperately wants to be the aunt of the palace! What a shameless thing! Who knows whether she has been touched by Zhao Yuanyin? I'm too lazy to go to her place! She hates Liang Xixi, that's natural."

"It seems that I don't just hate it. When I went to her place last night, as soon as I mentioned the side concubine of the palace, she scolded a bitch. Her face looked like it was about to rain. The concubine was taken aback. Now Liang Xixi is quarreling nonstop, why should my lord touch that cold nail, it is better to let her go."

"She goes? Is it all right? What if something happens to me?"

Duo Xia smiled and said: "No matter how big the trouble is, she, Tang Xuanzhen, is responsible for it. Didn't your lord say it? Tang Xuanzhen also came from Youwang's Mansion anyway, so you can let the two of them make trouble. If something really happens When it's over, don't you just take Tang Xuanzhen to cover the matter?"

Zhang Xianchu raised his hand and pinched Duo Xia's pretty face, and said with a smile: "I really can't see that you are still a genius! This is a good idea, but will Tang Xuanzhen go?"

"Let the concubine try it herself, maybe she will go!"

"Okay, go quickly! This matter is settled, and my lord will serve you personally in a while!"

Duoxia pushed Zhang Xianchu shyly, got up and went to Tang Xuanzhen's yard.When he entered the courtyard, he saw Gan Lan coming out holding a tray, so he asked, "Where is Mrs. Xuanzhen?"

"It's in her room!"

Duoxia glanced at the things in Kale's hand and asked, "Is this not to your liking? Why don't you have breakfast?"

Gan Lan shook her head helplessly and said: "I don't know what's wrong with Madam, I've been bored there without saying a word to my servant! Aunt Duoxia, go and take a look!"

Duoxia nodded, took the tray from Ganlan, knocked on the door and entered Tang Xuanzhen's room.I saw her sitting with her back to the window, her eyebrows lowered, her expression haggard.When Duoxia entered the room, she thought it was cabbage, and said angrily: "I said I won't eat it, take it out!"

"Why is there such a big fire?" Duo Xia asked with a smile on her face.

Tang Xuanzhen was taken aback, turned to look at Duo Xia, and asked with a flat expression: "Why are you here again?"

"I'm here to ask you something. I happened to meet Kalan at the door and said that you don't eat breakfast! Is this cook's skill not to your liking?" Duoxia sat down and said pleasantly.

Tang Xuanzhen replied blankly: "I just don't want to eat it. Do you have anything to ask?"

"Oh, it's about the side concubine of Prince You's Mansion."

Tang Xuanzhen frowned immediately upon hearing the words Concubine Concubine Niangniang, glared at Duo Xia with dissatisfaction, and asked, "Why do you ask me about her? I'm not her personal girl!"

"Don't get me wrong, I thought you came out of Prince You's Mansion anyway! You should know the taste of that side concubine, right?"

"What's the matter? You want to please her?"

Duo Xia pretended to be helpless and said: "People have to bow their heads under the eaves! Who would let her be the side concubine of Prince You's mansion, the concubine of the prince? For our lord, don't say please, even if you beg me You have to beg her! Don't you know, she made things difficult for our adults today!"

Tang Xuanzhen really became interested and asked, "What's going on?"

"You didn't go out today, so of course you don't know. But if you go out, you must join in the fun! The side concubine and empress don't know what's wrong, and she's taking care of the affairs of the yamen. Our lord is just because There is a case to be investigated, so I sent a few yamen to search at the Fuxing Inn. I don't know what offended her. Now she is lingering in the Fuxing Inn, and we insist on answering her! You said , what is the reason for this?"

Tang Xuanzhen rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "It's really an arrow with a chicken feather!"

"Hey! Even so, we can only suffer, right? Who told her to be the side concubine of the palace and pregnant with a child? Do you dare to touch her in the slightest? If she offends, how can the lord give it to us when he comes back? Do adults like fruit to eat?"

When Yuan Yin was mentioned, Tang Xuanzhen's face became even more gloomy.Duo Xia glanced at her, secretly complacent, and continued: "So, please do me a favor and tell me what the concubine on the other side likes to eat, so I can make it quickly and send it to you, begging or kneeling Well, anyway, she just doesn't make things difficult for our adults..."

"Go and beg her? She deserves it too!" Tang Xuanzhen said with anger in her eyes.

"Why is she not worthy? If she is not worthy, then who is worthy? Although there is a concubine in the palace, she is no different from the concubine! Well, I won't talk nonsense with you, talk about it, talk about me Good to get ready."

"No need!" Tang Xuanzhen stood up suddenly, and said with a serious face, "I'm going to see her!"

"You?" Duoxia pretended to be surprised, shook her head and said, "Let's forget it! If you offend her, it will be hard to get along with her in the future! Look at your complexion, you'd better rest at home!"

"Kale!" Tang Xuanzhen ignored Duo Xia and shouted outside.Gan Lan trotted in and asked, "Miss Xuanzhen, what are your orders?"

"Prepare the sedan chair and go to the Fuxing Inn!"

"What are you doing at the inn?"

"What are you talking about? Go!" Tang Xuanzhen yelled impatiently.

Cabbage looked at the two with a puzzled face, then turned around and went out to prepare the sedan chair.Duoxia laughed secretly, but there was a look of worry on her face and she said: "Can you go? If you offend her, our adults will have a hard time in the future! Otherwise, I will go with you? Should I kneel down?" The request, anyway, we sisters accept it together, how about it?"

Tang Xuanzhen gave her a blank look, walked to the dressing table and said, "Go ahead, I have my own measure, even if offended, it's my Tang Xuanzhen's business alone!"

"You're out of touch by saying that, everyone is a family! Well, I'll wait for your good news! Remember, I have desserts, and he is the favorite of Lord You!" Duoxia said with a smile on her face. With a smirk on his face, he turned and left.

Tang Xuanzhen couldn't see her expression, and she couldn't see Tang Xuanzhen's expression at this time.The pretty face in the vanity mirror was filled with jealousy and evil, making it look extraordinarily cold.She opened one of the small drawers with a copper ring, and took out the plain hairpin that she thought had the sharpest point, then glanced at the mirror, and inserted her hand into the temple.

The sedan chair briskly arrived outside the Fuxing Inn.The inn was full of people inside and outside, but it was very quiet, only Mr. Huqiu's sonorous and powerful storytelling voice was heard.At the exciting place, everyone cheered together, it was very lively.

Tang Xuanzhen squeezed through the crowd, finally entered the lobby, and saw Xixi from a distance.Xixi was sitting in the front seat, holding a cup of tea in her hand, listening to the story with relish, with a faint smile on her face.At the same time, Xin'er also saw Tang Xuanzhen.

When she came to Xixi, Tang Xuanzhen saluted and said with a dull expression: "It turns out that the side concubine is still waiting here!"

Xixi squinted at her and said, "Well, isn't your Master Zhang here? Did you come here?"

"Master Zhang is busy with business, so it's inconvenient to come here, so I specially sent my concubine to see the empress."

"Is the concubine's words clear enough? All right, since you're here, sit down and listen together, and wait for your Master Zhang to pick you up."

Tang Xuanzhen raised her eyes and took a look at Xixi. Seeing her aloof and leisurely attitude, she really felt all kinds of feelings in her heart!The words Yin Luo said involuntarily echoed in her mind, Zhao Yuanyin's death, Xixi's suspicious identity, and the child whose origin was unknown and who might be the remnant of Qingyue Hall, all these things strongly stimulated her, she couldn't help but sneered and said with a smile : "The prince doesn't know his whereabouts, but the empress is still in the mood to listen to the book here?"

Tang Xuanzhen's voice was not too loud, but it happened to break the originally quiet atmosphere in the lobby.Mr. Huqiu, who was telling a book, had to stop and looked at her in surprise.There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd of listeners around.

Xixi put down the teacup, glanced at Tang Xuanzhen and said, "If you are here to answer for Mr. Zhang, please feel free to do so. If you are listening to books, just sit down."

"Your Majesty, don't you feel ashamed?" Tang Xuanzhen asked loudly, "Your Highness hasn't returned to the city yet, isn't your Majesty worried at all?"

"Xuanzhen," Cuiyue got up and pulled her and said softly, "Are you confused? Don't say such things here..."

"I'm not as good-tempered as you!" Tang Xuanzhen swept away Cuiyue's hand with a sleeve, and said angrily, "I just want to ask her, what kind of heart is she? It’s like a person who has nothing to do, listening to books here for fun with a shy face! Have you ever thought about the prince in your heart?”

Xin'er immediately shouted: "Tang Xuanzhen, don't be presumptuous! If you don't listen to the book, get out immediately! If you want to talk nonsense, don't blame me for throwing you out!"

Tang Xuanzhen rolled her eyes at Xin'er, glared at her and said, "It's really the concubine's airs, it's amazing now! Liang Xixi, don't forget, didn't you used to be a handyman in Longquanyi Inn? If there is no prince , you will have the glory you have today? But what about you? You are ungrateful and only care about enjoying yourself here, are you qualified to be this side concubine?"

There were a lot of discussions all around, and the more they talked, the louder they were.Cui Yue hurriedly persuaded again: "Xuanzhen, stop talking nonsense, come with me, let's find another place to talk! Prince Xixi has his own plans in mind, you don't have to worry about it, let's go!"
