71 Prelude to the Empress Dowager's Birthday Banquet

After a while, Ye Fengya let her go, got out of bed, straightened her robe and put on her belt, and went out without looking back. Before going out, he said again: "In half an hour you will be here."

You can move now. If you want to leave, ask the guard at the door to escort you away. If you don’t want to leave, you can stay until tomorrow morning. No one will know what happened tonight, so you can rest assured."

Leng Rutong's eyes turned cold unconsciously when she heard his words to clarify the relationship. Bad guy, he still talked so coolly after eating. If he hadn't been unable to move, she really wanted to beat him up, but now she didn't want to.

Dare to speak out, even if Ye Fengya's words sound unpleasant, his words are right and beneficial to her.

He can marry many women. If he really ruins her reputation, he can marry her, but she can only marry one. If she marries the wrong one, everything will be over.

After Ye Fengya left, Leng Rutong gently touched her lips that had just been kissed. In addition to being kissed by Chong Qianqiang, she had been kissed twice. She didn't know what happened to her. The kiss between two people

They all made her feel the same, and she even felt like she was being kissed by the same person.

But they are two completely different people. Leng Rutong shook her head and gave up her random thoughts. It is not suitable to talk about relationships before revenge has been avenged. Since ancient times, relationships have hurt people. Unless they fall in love with themselves first, they will never be easy.

pay.

Ye Fengya did not lie to Leng Rutong. Half an hour later, she found that she was stronger. She quickly got up from the bed. As expected, two guards stood outside the door. When they saw her coming out, they asked: "Miss, do you want to go back?"

Prime Minister’s Mansion?”

Leng Rutong shook her head: "It's late at night. Going back will disturb their rest. I just lay down for a long time and came out for a walk."

The guard didn't say anything when he saw her going for a walk. The Seventh Prince's Mansion had not had a master for many years, but there were still a lot of servants, pavilions, pavilions, carved railings and jade. It didn't look like he was an unpopular prince at all.

.

Leng Rutong walked around the Seventh Prince's Mansion. After stretching her body, she lay down and fell asleep until dawn.

Early the next morning, Xiangsi arrived at the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Ye Fengya sent a carriage to take her out, but he himself did not show up. Leng Rutong wondered if he had no face to face him? Leng Rutong asked Xiangsi to

He supported himself on the carriage and pretended that his whole body was weak.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, before Leng Rutong got out of the carriage, she heard Leng Ruling's voice coming from outside: "Oh, our eldest lady has lived in the Third Prince's Mansion and then the Seventh Prince's Mansion, why is she willing to go back?

The Prime Minister’s Mansion?”

Xiangsi opened the curtain of the carriage and got out of the carriage, and helped Leng Rutong out of the carriage. Leng Rutong put all her strength on Xiangsi's body, looking completely weak and sick.

"Tsk, tsk, what's going on? The eldest lady went out to live for a while, but she still hasn't taken good care of herself." Leng Ruling stood at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, also dressed as if he had just returned home, going out so early.

What did you do?

Leng Rutong narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Leng Ruling: "There is always a group of people who don't like me and always do evil things."

"Oh, how could it be? The eldest lady was protected by the third prince and then the seventh prince. Who doesn't know in Yege City that the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion lived in the third prince's manor and then the seventh prince's manor?

It's a hot commodity. Everyone is betting on which prince's house our eldest daughter will marry into." Leng Ruling held up a small gold box in her hand and was careful to hold the small gold box securely as she spoke. She seemed to be very careful.

"Haha, sister cares about me as the eldest sister. I don't like the third prince or the seventh prince. I think the second prince is better. What do you think, sister?" Leng Rutong leaned on Xiangsi's shoulder and spoke in a soft voice.

Gentle but without losing momentum.

When Leng Ruling heard this, her face immediately darkened: "You have such beautiful thoughts. You don't even look at yourself. You are so old and no one wants you. You really take yourself seriously."

Leng Rutong's eyes have been paying attention to the small gold box in Leng Ruling's hand. She thought that her going out so early in the morning must have something to do with this small gold box. It is the Queen Mother's birthday today, and she is so cautious, maybe it is something given to the Queen Mother. Thinking of this Leng

Rutong sighed softly.

"Oh, yes, I just thought about it. Unlike my sister who is as beautiful as a flower and is liked by the second prince, the position of queen is easily available. I originally wanted to find a good home with the empress dowager tonight, but it's a pity that

My body is not up to par, I'm afraid I can't even crawl to see the Queen Mother."

"Just stay at home peacefully and wait for my mother to show her kindness and find you a decent family to marry. Don't go to the Third Prince's Palace and the Seventh Prince's Palace to embarrass yourself by hanging around."

Leng Ruling snorted coldly, as if she had found a sense of pride, and looked at her with her head raised.

"I have no chance, but sister, you are not so restless. Although the second prince likes you, the final decision is made by the empress dowager. If any young lady really pleases the empress dowager tonight, first sister

If I enter the second prince's house, my sister will lose more than she gains." Leng Rutong really wanted to twist off her noble head.

Speaking of this, Leng Ruling laughed happily: "You don't need to worry about this. This small gold box contains the Queen Mother's favorite mutton-fat white jade."

When Leng Rutong heard this, she thought it was some kind of special treasure. It turned out to be just a piece of jade. How could she be so confident that the Queen Mother would like it? "Sister, do you know jade? Such precious jade as mutton-fat white jade."

, many flaws are invisible to the naked eye. They look smooth on the outside, but are actually slightly cracked on the inside.”

Leng Ruling became a little worried when she heard what she said: "I bought it from Lord Nitian, he wouldn't have given me a slightly cracked one."

"He will definitely not give you bad things, but maybe he doesn't know it himself. Only someone who understands jade can see it. Sister, you still have to be careful. If the Queen Mother receives a slightly cracked jade on her birthday, then

But it's very unlucky." Leng Rutong became more and more serious as she spoke, scaring Leng Ruling. Leng Ruling seemed to be frightened by her and showed worry. 13acv.

"As far as I know, this mutton-fat white jade is exclusively produced by Nitian Kingdom. It only costs three pieces in this world. It must be quite difficult for my sister to get it."

Leng Ruling felt a little strange: "You also understand jade?" After a while, the whole morning passed.

"Although I have lived in the backyard these years and have not been exposed to these noble things, because I like to read a lot of these books, sister, why don't you let me have a look?" Leng Rutong tried to take a look at the white jade that made her so confident.

What is it like.

She has seen mutton-fat white jade, but modern things are always different from ancient times. Moreover, although modern mutton-fat white jade is expensive, the output is not large, but in ancient times there were only three pieces. It can be seen that it is indeed valuable, just in case that old queen mother

If you really like this thing, that would be bad.

Leng Ruling looked defensive: "Let me show you what to do if you accidentally drop mine. I can beat you to death. I'll go to the jade shop to see shopkeeper Liu."

"Sister, why do you need to distrust me so much? I guarantee that there will be no problem with your mutton-fat white jade. I'm just giving you a look. You see, I'm like this, why should I argue with you?" Leng Ru

Tong's tone was low, just wanting to trick him into taking a look and see if he could do some tricks on it.

Leng Ruling thought for a while and actually handed over the small gold box: "Take it. If something goes wrong with it, don't blame me."

Xiang Si stretched out her hand and opened the small gold box in front of Leng Rutong. The moment she opened it, Leng Rutong was almost dazzled by the mutton-fat white jade. The whole body was covered with a white mutton-fat white jade pendant, exuding a charming luster, and her makeup was like gel.

, fine texture and extremely white.

It was indeed a good piece of jade. Leng Rutong carefully took the jade pendant in her hand and kneaded it gently: "This is the gem grade of Hetian jade. It is the best pure white jade. It is pure white and flawless. It is indeed a piece of jade."

Excellent jade, I think the prince from the heaven-defying kingdom really didn’t lie to my sister.”

Leng Rutong put the mutton-fat white jade into the small gold box and asked Xiang Si to return it to Leng Ruling: "The Queen Mother will definitely like this piece of mutton-fat white jade. Congratulations to my sister. I am not feeling well, so I will go back and rest."

After Leng Rutong said this, she let Xiangsi drag her away. There was a hint of success in her eyes. Leng Ruling had put in a lot of effort and even purchased such a top-quality jade from a neighboring country. It seemed that she was not surprised.

There is no way she can defeat her.

Back in her room, Leng Rutong immediately asked Xiangsi to prepare pen and ink, and she wrote a letter with a brush seriously.

Xiangsi asked puzzledly: "Miss, who are you writing to?" Miss didn't have any friends or distant relatives, so who were you planning to write this to? Leng Rutong was organizing her words and ignored her for a moment.

After a while, she put down her pen, folded the letter, stuffed it into an envelope and handed it to Xiangsi.

"Send this letter to Mr. Ye Qingcheng, Master of the Secretariat. Ask him to give you a response after reading the letter and then come back. Don't give the letter to anyone else. You must give it to Ye Qingcheng personally." Leng Rutong solemnly told Xiang.

think.

Xiangsi nodded and immediately went out.

When Xiangsi arrived at Shangshu Mansion, Ye Qingcheng was busy making fireworks, and the entire backyard was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Seeing Xiangsi come, Ye Qingcheng raised his head from where he was sitting in the dirt. He was wearing a simple gray robe, and his face was expressionless.

Handsome, there was some dust on his nose from making fireworks, but it did not affect his beauty at all.

"You mean you are the maid of Miss Leng of Prime Minister Leng's Mansion?" Ye Qingcheng looked puzzled. This lady never had contact with the outside world. Why did she send a maid to deliver a message to him this time? Out of curiosity

, Ye Qingcheng quickly opened the letter.

He quickly read the content of the letter and was surprised. Miss Leng actually knew so much about fireworks? But wasn't the method she mentioned too risky? If she really angered the Empress Dowager, she would be beheaded.

A great sin.

"Master Shangshu, our lady said she can't go back until she hears your response." Xiang Si saw Ye Qingcheng's confusion and hurriedly urged him.

"I can help you make what your lady said. This idea is very unique and I am very interested in it. However, the time she mentioned is a bit too risky. I have to think about it. The Queen Mother's birthday party is in the evening anyway. I

I will send someone to the mansion to answer you before the time of application."

******

Leng Ruling returned to the west courtyard with the small gold box. When she entered the house, she rushed to Ye Mingzhu's bed and offered it to Ye Mingzhu as if she were offering a treasure, saying, "Mom, I got this mutton-fat white jade. I will definitely please the Queen Mother tonight."

"Just get it. This is the news that Concubine Ning got with great difficulty. It is said that one night the Queen Mother was dreaming about this sheep finger white jade." Ye Mingzhu was lying on the bed, with gauze wrapped in front of her forehead. It seemed that her forehead was still beautiful.

Not good.

"Mom, Leng Rutong has returned home, but she is no longer as sick as a human. She has to be carried by that cheap maid Xiangsi when she walks. Brother Huai finally helped you get out of your bad breath this time."

"Did you listen to your mother and didn't conflict with her?" Ye Mingzhu asked worriedly.

"No, I just humiliated her a few words. I didn't expect that she immediately humiliated her. I remembered mother's words and didn't do anything to her. If mother hadn't asked me to endure it first, I would have skinned her!" Leng Ruling was fierce!

He said, Ruhua's face was distorted by hatred.

"Leng Rutong is no longer the same Leng Rutong as before. Now is the critical moment. Let's not argue with him first. After the second prince's affairs with you are decided, I will sell her outside Yege City and let her go.

Become a village girl." Ye Mingzhu touched her forehead, thinking about it, she wanted to tear Leng Rutong into pieces. She didn't know how this person changed, and suddenly became so vicious and vicious.

Leng Ruling shook her head and sat on the chair next to her: "She is protected by Tang Ao now. How can it be so easy for you to sell her?"

"If she makes a big mistake, I don't believe that Tang Ao can protect her even to the general's mansion." Ye Mingzhu's eyes were gleaming, and he was thinking of vicious ways.

Leng Ruling was happy when she heard this: "Mom, you have thought of a way."

"Who am I, your mother? I can cure this trickster in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I'm afraid I can't cure her little wild hoof." Ye Mingzhu didn't take it seriously. No matter what she did, with the emperor's brother protecting her, she didn't believe that Tang Ao dared.

Fight with the emperor. "Go and get ready. You will be the most dazzling among the ladies tonight. Take my dazzling pearls and wear them."

"Really?" Leng Ruling was overjoyed. As if she was afraid that Ye Mingzhu would regret it, she rushed to the inner room to get the dazzling pearl. This was a gift from the emperor when her mother was thirty. It was so dazzling that she could see it in the dark night.

It’s hard not to want to shine.

Tonight we must let all the princes and princes in the city see who is the most beautiful woman in Yege City.

**********

Xiangsi told Leng Rutong Ye Qingqing's reply. Ye Qingqing's hesitation was within Leng Rutong's expectation. Since she was asked to wait, she had no choice but to wait.

She asked Xiangsi to go to the General's Mansion to inform Tang Ao, explain her true situation, and asked Tang Ao to send someone to pick her up after Shen Shi. She entered the palace with Tang Ao, of course in secret. Tang Ao accepted

I was quite surprised by Xiangsi's report. I didn't understand how this granddaughter could be so thoughtful, but at the same time she was very happy. Being thoughtful is more useful.

Before the time was up, Ye Qingqing sent someone to reply and was willing to give it a try with her. Leng Rutong was happy and asked Xiangsi to buy some outstanding clothes with the money she got from Tang Ao.

, told Xiangsi to use needle and thread to alter the clothes.

I have watched a lot of TV dramas, and there is no problem in dressing up in stunning clothes. The first is to be grand, the second is to show off one’s figure, Leng Rutong’s graceful figure cannot be wasted, and the third is to be suitable.

The Queen Mother's eyes.

In order to satisfy the old man's taste, she specially chose a bright red color. No one hates red, and it is festive. Of course, it may clash with the color at the birthday party, but it will definitely not be her, but other people.

She is quite happy to do such a thing that is harmful to others and beneficial to herself.

When Shen Shi arrived, all the young ladies in the palace were preparing to enter the palace. Tang Aoyi immediately sent someone to pick her up.

When Leng Rutong walked to the gate, a group of family members of the mansion were also waiting for the carriage at the gate.

When Leng Ruxiu saw Leng Rutong coming out, she raised her voice and shouted: "Miss, you are still going to follow us into the palace, and you are not afraid of the Queen Mother looking bad."

Leng Rutong gave her a cold look: "I won't go because of bad luck. But if you, Third Sister, are not unlucky enough to enter the palace, you will come back with all the bad luck, because those princes and grandsons are interested in the second son of our family."

Sister, you don’t deserve it.”

Talking poisonously? She has never been afraid!

"You!" Leng Ruxiu's face turned purple at the words: "At least it's better than not being able to meet you."

"Third sister, you really remember things. I just finished my stay at the Third Prince's Mansion, and I have been to the Seventh Prince's Mansion again. I haven't seen anything about them." Leng Rutong and Yun Danfeng said it as if it was a normal thing.

.It even made Leng Ruxiu so angry that her face turned from purple to blue.

"It's rare for you, Third Sister, to have this opportunity to meet Mr. Wangsun. You must seize the opportunity. I've met him anyway, so I'll be satisfied just going to my grandpa's house and eating the delicacies cooked by my aunt." Leng Rutong said and went up.

Received the carriage sent by Tang Ao.

Leng Ruxiu was so angry that she chopped off her feet, and her eyes became extremely cold. This Leng Rutong really made people want to kill her.

"Sister Ruxiu, you don't have to bother talking to her. There are so many princes and princes in Yege City who can really fall in love with me. I only want the second prince, and I will let you do the rest." Leng Ruling pulled her away.

Leng Ruxiu comforted her, acting like a good sister.

Leng Ruxiu's face softened: "It's better for you, second sister." Although she said this, she thought in her heart that all the young men in the city would fall in love with you, and they would all want you to marry me.

gave in.

She actually wanted Leng Ruling to get married as soon as possible. After she got married, she would be the most popular one in Yege City. Leng Ruxiu seemed to have forgotten that the prime minister's residence did not only have the ladies in Yege City!

This realization didn't come to her mind until Leng Ruxiu saw Ye Qingrou, Miss Shangshu. She originally thought that Leng Ruling was the most beautiful woman in Yege City, but she didn't expect that Ye Qingrou was no less beautiful, with a hibiscus peach blossom face, a stupid look on her face, and a voiceless voice.

Tactful, compared to Leng Ruling, is more intelligent and Lanxin.

Ye Qingrou got off the sedan, walked to them and bent down gently: "I heard that the prime minister's house has a lot of gold, which is really a lot. I think the family must be lively, unlike me, I am just a girl, I think

There is no one to talk to."

Leng Ruling looked disdainful. This official was younger than her father, and she didn't take it seriously at all. But Leng Ruxiu replied: "How can you compare with Miss Shangshu? What good thing does your family have but only one person can take over it?"

Now, our family has to come down from above first."

"Haha, then your eldest lady didn't take advantage of it. But I heard that all these good things were taken by the second lady, even the second prince." Ye Qingrou smiled as she spoke, with a sarcastic expression in her mouth.
