Not only did the two marquis' mansions not fall down, but instead showed a stronger momentum, and the light flashed blinded everyone. Unfortunately, jealousy did not come, so I could only be glad that I did not faint in the past two days and followed the memorial.

However, the emperor was in great interest and suddenly proposed to go to the yard to hunt, which was set on the tenth day of the first lunar month. Jin Xida was his "highest friend" and Shujie was his first-class guard leader with swords, so he naturally wanted to go with him.

Because the emperor wanted to see Xiaoguai's power, Xiaoguai could only listen to the instructions of Shujie's three siblings. Without thinking, the emperor asked Shuwen to bring two spirit beasts with him. He knew that Shuwen often took Xiaoguai to Yundu Mountain to hunt.

The fourth princess was unhappy and muttered that she wanted to go with her, saying that Xiaoguai and Huohuo could go with her, and she also wanted to bring Princess Yue and Shuyao to go with her.

In addition to Baoyu and Zhuyu, the emperor's favorite pair of twins is the fourth princess. In addition, he has been in a good mood these days, so he waved his hand: "Okay, bring you three." Anyway, it's just a yard, and it's not too dangerous, just let the guards protect it.

Everyone was stunned. No woman had ever been in the yard. Now the emperor wanted to take three little girls there. But then he felt relieved. These three can be said to be the most "priced" girls in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, right? You must know that it is useless to have a special status, and you have to be favored. A princess who are not favored is not as good as a princess, and a princess who are not favored is not as good as a girl from a favorite family.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, a steward in charge of the two marquises brought a gift to Prince Yong's mansion: "Our girl, Princess Yue, and the fourth princess, have already made an appointment. I can't come to congratulate you tomorrow. I would like to ask Concubine Zhao and the eldest girl to forgive me. This is our daughter's gift. I wish the eldest girl to be as beautiful as flowers every year."

After the woman finished speaking, she didn't care about Concubine Zhao and Qi Yuexin's ugly faces, and bowed and said she left without being humble or arrogant.

Concubine Zhao's face turned pale. Xia Shuyao was too arrogant and didn't take them seriously at all. However, she also knew that whether Xia Shuyao appeared at Qi Yuexin's birthday party would not cause any criticism. If she appeared, people would say that she could be a human being. If she didn't appear, they would think it was normal.

Identity, damn identity, she volunteered to be a concubine back then because she believed that she would definitely be able to seize the position of the official concubine. She was many times stronger than the weak and useless cousin. How could she have thought that her cousin had been dead for so many years and she was still a concubine. Now, her cousin's prospective daughter-in-law is about to climb onto her head again.

I thought Xia Shuyao had just gotten into the marriage and Qi Haoning was not in Beijing, so she was a little more scruple and would go this trip as she was just pretending. Unexpectedly...

Qi Yuexin was so angry that she opened the brocade box, grabbed the thing inside and smashed it forward. She stopped when the thing was taken off her hand. Unfortunately... with a dull bang, the thing in her hand had already flew out and landed on the ground. Although the ground was covered with a thick felt blanket, the beautiful glass stroll still broke. Fortunately, the hairpin was partly broken into two pieces, and the peacock screen was not broken.

Qi Yuexin ran over to take a look. It was really the glazed peacock shaking she had longed for for a long time, which was even brighter and more beautiful than the one on Princess Yan's head. Because there were a few small but very bright diamonds on it.

Qi Yuexin was almost going crazy. She pulled the maid who was holding the brocade box and slapped her: "Why don't you stop me? Why don't you tell me what's in the box?" She had always longed to get a Bu Yao for her when she got married, but now she got it, but she broke it by herself.

This scene happened to be seen by Gong Ma and two little palace maids who stepped into the door. Gong Maid glanced at Qi Yuexin with contempt, directed the little palace maid to put down the four-color birthday gift in her hand and left. She also said "talking to herself": "Miss Yao is so generous, but unfortunately... it's not worth it."

This palace maid came from the Cining Palace. The empress dowager had too many grandchildren, but few were really close to each other. It was impossible to prepare a birthday gift for everyone. So a nanny in charge of this matter was set up to record the birth dates of all grandchildren (regardless of being born in the legitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegiti

Gifts vary from year to year, but everyone's gifts are the same. Of course, those who are favored also have individual gifts prepared.

When Gong Mama arrived, she knew that the mother of the two marquis' mansions was inside and sent Miss Yao's gift. She waited outside for a while, but she didn't expect that as soon as she stepped in, she saw Qi Yuexin throwing the gift out.

Concubine Zhao, who came to her senses, was about to stop Gong Ma and bribe her and block her mouth. The man had already gone out. Concubine Zhao and Qi Yuexin were so angry that they cursed the two maids guarding outside the hall. The maid replied innocently: "We have informed us." It was just that the mother and daughter were both angry and didn't hear it.

Mama Zhao sighed: "Master, girl, please put this step away and find an old jade craftsman to see if it can be repaired. The old slave has seen someone's glass hairpin break and wrapped it with gold or silver. It looks pretty good." If you haven't been hit by the Gong Mama, at most you can hide this step and don't wear it. But now, once the Gong Mama spreads it out, or brings it up in front of the Empress Dowager, Qi Yuexin will be very embarrassed.

Now I can only find someone to wear it, and then find someone to wear it as soon as possible. Then I "inadvertently" said that I was not worried and broke it. Fortunately, I could repair it.

Concubine Zhao glared at Qi Yuexin and nodded, "That's all you can do. Now you can ask someone to find out which jade craftsman in the jade ware workshop has such skills. The wages are not a problem."

When Qi Yuexin heard that Bu Yao could still be inlaid, she didn't care about her mother glaring at her and repeatedly urged Zhao's mother. If Bu Yao was helpless, she didn't know when she would get such a beautiful and rare Bu Yao again.

Qi Yuexin was both jealous and angry: Xia Shuyao is really rich, and she gave such an expensive Buyao out at will. Humph, people from the market are vanity, and I don’t know if it’s a swollen face to pretend to be fat?

But since she wants face so much, how dare she not come tomorrow? Also, would she not care about her second brother being angry? Did she know that her second brother is very alienated from her siblings and mother? No, no, the second brother has become cold since she went to the army. She has not even entered the door, so what kind of relationship can the second brother have with her? How could he tell her this?

No matter how angry the mother and daughter of Concubine Zhao were, they were helpless, even if this matter was spread, no one would say anything about Shu Yao. After all, Princess Yue was the legitimate sister-in-law, and Qi Yuexin was just a concubine. Who is more important? Who would make the same choice as Xia Shu Yao.

Qi Yuexin could only grit her teeth and must have a good relationship with Princess Yan and Mrs. Yu, as if they were not close to Xia Shuyao.

For some reason, Qi Yuexin, who has always claimed to be noble, admires Princess Yan and Ma Linger very much, and thinks that they, especially Princess Yan, are truly noble girls with noble origins and talented and beautiful appearances, and are the same people when they are with them.

Early the next morning, Qi Yuexin dressed up carefully and prepared to entertain guests. Concubine Zhao was also busy arranging various matters. She believed that there would be more customers coming today because she deliberately released the news and said that they had also sent posts to Xia Shuyao. As for Xia Shuyao not coming, she always had a way to explain. Just so happened that Xia Shuyao gave such a precious Bu Yao.

They were also lucky, and "wealth can make the devil push the mill", Zhao's mother found an old jade craftsman yesterday, and worked overnight, using thin, carved golden pieces of flowers to wrap the two broken hairpins together. It was indeed very beautiful. Qi Yuexin couldn't put it down.

The guests came one after another, but it was strange that many of them were late, and they were still whispering to each other and busy talking.

At first, Concubine Zhao and his daughter thought that the incident of breaking their hairpin yesterday had been stabbed by Gong Ma, but now they are talking about that. But when they look at them again, they have no time to look at them. If they were talking about that, it would be impossible.

At this time, a wife who was close to Concubine Zhao also arrived and said, "The formation is so big. The people are watching. My carriage is blocked, so I have to take a detour." After all, they are female family members of the official family, and they are not crowded like ordinary people to catch up on both sides to watch the long hunting team.

Concubine Zhao said, "Is there any big formation today? Prince Ning is leaving Beijing for the first month." No one is willing to leave early, and I hope to delay for a few more days.

The lady curled her lips: "How can I compare? Prince Ning left Beijing and took the prince and his close ministers out of the palace to hunt. This is... not comparable, right? You can't imagine that the emperor went hunting this time, brought the fourth princess, Princess Yue, and Miss Xia from the two marquises' mansions. These three little nobles have gone there, but don't add many people to serve, the team is so long. Tsk, tsk, the emperor really spoiled them. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I have never heard of any emperor taking the princess and princesses to hunt. Among the three, Prince Yong's mansion has two at once. Tsksksk, it's still your prince who has the face."

Concubine Zhao smiled awkwardly, and her sharp fingernails pierced her palms. It turned out that Xia Shuyao said that she had an appointment with the Fourth Princess, Princess Yue, and went hunting with the emperor. What a glorious thing, so naturally she would not care about Qi Yuexin's birthday banquet. Why? Why? Prince Yong's face will never benefit her Xin'er and Xiang'er? They are also the prince's bloodline and are the main master of this royal palace. It's fine for Qi Yueling, but no matter how Xia Shuyao is the prospective prince's concubine, she has not yet entered.

Also indignant was Princess Yan Sima Yan, who had just arrived. Although she smiled lightly as usual, she was unwilling to go crazy. Xia Shuyao is the prospective princess of Prince Yong's mansion, but she is the prospective second prince's concubine. Who is the emperor's daughter-in-law?

She has been trying hard to restrain herself and make her heart more peaceful and comfortable. She kept telling herself that Xia Shuyao could not compare with her. But why are there always so many unfair news coming? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
