Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 160 The Conspiracy of Two Women

After the old lady arrived, three fragrant carriages drove out of the Zhenguo Palace.

Guo Cuiyan stood there, looking at the carriage gradually going away, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart.

They are both women, why is God so unfair? It’s just that the Xu family was born in a noble family, but the Shen family was far inferior to hers. How could they live such a prosperous and wealthy life so easily and be so handsome as the heir apparent of the Li family? Great husband.

She was lost here, and Mei Niang came to her side quietly: "Everyone has gone away, why is my cousin still standing here looking at it?"

Guo Cuiyan turned her head unprepared and saw that it was Mei Niang. She didn't bother to adjust the expression on her face and said calmly: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be you."

Mei Niang smiled and said: "Today all the serious masters in the house have left, so it's time for my cousin to go and sit at my place."

Guo Cuiyan really wanted to take advantage of Mei Niang, but she didn't want to be held hostage by her. She looked at Mei Niang and said, "If sister-in-law is bored, come with me to Lixiangyuan and sit down."

Mei Niang smiled and said: "That's good."

As they talked, the two came to Lixiangyuan. Guo Cuiyan retired the other girls and servants, leaving only Chunhong to serve.

Mei Niang said to Guo Cuiyan: "In terms of beauty and talent, my cousin is far above the Xu family. Even compared with the Shen family, my cousin is not far behind."

Guo Cuiyan couldn't understand the meaning of Mei Niang's words. She smiled and replied: "They are them, I am me, how can I compare with them."

Mei Niang took a sip of tea and sneered: "Don't you want to be a master like them?"

Guo Cuiyan asked: "Does my sister-in-law have any clever ideas that can help me?"

Mei Niang smiled and said: "There is always a way, but if I help the girl, the girl must agree to me a condition."

Guo Cuiyan said: "My cousin's biggest wish is to stay in this house for a long time?"

Mei Niang replied: "Miss Cousin is really a transparent person. She doesn't speak secretly. Mrs. Xu regards me as a thorn in her side. As long as she is around, there will be no place for me. I am willing to help Miss Biao achieve her wish." Squeeze away the Xu family and help you become the uncle's wife. But my cousin has to promise me that after the event is completed, I will stay in this mansion forever and enjoy the wealth."

After the carriage and horses left the house, Li Ling, who was sitting in the car, asked Jingshu: "Second Aunt's niece has been living here for a while, why hasn't she left yet?"

　　When mentioning Guo Cuiyan, Jing Shu remembered how Li Ling had scorned her over and over again, and couldn't help but ask: "Although that cousin is a bit hypocritical, she has never offended you. Why do you just dislike her?"

Li Ling has been in a high position for a long time, so he has naturally developed a sharp and golden eye to accurately identify people. How could Guo Cuiyan's little tricks escape Li Ling's eyes: "I don't think she is a peaceful person, and I am worried that she will cause some trouble if she stays here for a long time. "

Jing Shu couldn't see Guo Cuiyan's restlessness anymore. She sighed and said, "I heard the second aunt said that she would find her husband's family in Beijing. I'm afraid she won't leave easily. Unless you find a way to find her as soon as possible." You are a good man, otherwise I might have to live here for a long time."

Li Ling gave his wife an angry look: "You want me to find a husband for him? How did you come up with this?"

Jingshu replied seriously: "There are so many young generals around you, like Zhou Jin and Liang Jin. I think they are all good. That cousin is beautiful and eloquent. Why can't you be as beautiful as a man?"

Li Ling said quickly: "Stop it now. I'm telling you, don't try to trick the people around me. People like her won't give anything to anyone for free."

Jingshu smiled and said: "Look at what you said, someone calls you a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, a cousin."

Li Linglen snorted: "Who is her cousin? You are talking nonsense!"

The two of them were talking in the car, and the carriage and horses had already entered Xuanwu Gate. Li Ling opened the car curtain and looked out. He saw that on the long Xuanwu Road, the carriages and BMWs of the princes, generals and ministers who came to the banquet were winding in a row. .

He grabbed his wife's hand, looked at her and asked, "Are you afraid of going to the palace for a banquet for the first time?" The inner palace was a forbidden area with strict rules. If she said she wasn't nervous at all when she went to the palace for a banquet for the first time, that would be a lie. talk.

Jingshu met Li Ling's gaze and said with a smile: "I'm a little scared, but with you by my side, this fear is minimal."

Li Ling put his arms around his wife's shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I will take care of everything."

After passing Xuanwu Street, everyone abandoned their carriages and horses and entered the palace on foot.

Li Ling got out of the carriage and reached out to help his wife down. The old lady and Li Xian also got off the carriage, and the family straightened their clothes and walked towards the inner palace together.

The Royal Palace, with its eaves and green tiles, is resplendent and majestic.

Today the royal family hosted a grand banquet, inviting more than a hundred people from aristocratic families and dignitaries. The banquet was held in Qionghua Palace.

 The Qionghua Palace is dotted with pavilions and flowing water, and all kinds of autumn chrysanthemums are planted throughout the palace. It's the season when the golden breeze brings coolness. As soon as you step into Qionghua Palace, your face will be filled with the fragrance of chrysanthemums. Climbing up the stairs to Qionghua Terrace, you will see the vast banquet table with trees and silver flowers and bright lights, which is as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.

Everyone followed the female officer's guidance and sat down, and the huge banquet table was quietly filled with dignitaries attending the banquet in a short time.

As the etiquette officials sang their vows loudly, Emperor Ming slowly walked up to the Qionghua Terrace with his queen, concubines, princes and princesses, and sat down on the stand.

Everyone stood up and knelt on the ground, shouting "Long Live the Mountain".

After the ceremony, as the palace music started, dozens of dancers slowly entered the room, and for a while, they danced gracefully on the stage.

After the dance, the banquet officially began. Emperor Ming raised his glass and said to everyone: "Today is a wonderful time for the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my beloved concubine is pregnant with a dragon heir. It can be said to be a double happiness for us."

 Everyone stood up and shouted "Long Live the Mountain" again, so they raised their glasses and drank together.

Emperor Ming drank the wine in his glass, waved to the concubine next to him and said, "Concubine Wei, come sit next to me."

This Concubine Wei was the new concubine of Emperor Ming. She became pregnant with the dragon heiress less than half a year after entering the palace. She came from a famous family and was born like a fish or a wild goose. She was conceived when there had been no good news in Emperor Ming's harem for many years. Therefore, Emperor Ming Longyan was delighted, and the Wei family became a concubine and became a popular figure in the harem.

Concubine Wei stood up, with a springy look on her face, wearing a long skirt woven with gold and silver threads, and slowly walked towards Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming grabbed her slender hand, pulled her to sit beside him, and asked gently: "Can you drink during the Mid-Autumn Festival today?"

Concubine Wei replied gently: "The imperial doctor said that I can only drink fruit wine."

Emperor Ming immediately ordered: "Go and get some fruit wine for your concubine."

After a while, the female officer brought a pot of wine. Emperor Ming personally poured a glass of wine for Concubine Wei, handed it to her and said: "My beloved concubine is pregnant with a dragon heir. I will only drink this cup."

Concubine Wei took the wine cup, looked at Emperor Ming's bright eyes affectionately, drank all the wine, and said in a voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Ming looked at the young concubine with a smile and asked gently: "Is this fruit wine still good enough to drink?"

Before Concubine Wei even finished her reply, she spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Before Emperor Ming could react, she had already lost her breath in a moment.
