Yu Xijiao was not too polite and sat down at the table after seeing the ceremony.
Yu Yuxi had indeed prepared a lot. Even for three people, there was still a lot left. After quietly finishing lunch, the maid cleaned up and brought tea.
"Third sister, did you receive the gift I gave to eldest sister before?" Yu Yuxi put down the teacup, looked at Yu Xi and asked with a smile.
Her appearance looked better than before, although she was still a little pale.
"Sister, I have received it. Let me thank you." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly. Yu Yuxi did send a separate gift yesterday, which was regarded as a farewell gift to Yu Zhuqing.
"Eldest sister is going to the border. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. I don't know when we will see each other again." Yu Yuxi lowered her head and smiled very reluctantly. "When eldest sister was here, I didn't feel that much. But now that eldest sister has left, I feel special...
No, third sister, does the eldest sister have something to bring to me?"
"Sister, let us all be well, she will come back." Yu Xijiao said simply.
"I hope the eldest sister will come back soon." Yu Yuxi sighed, then looked at Zhang Wanyin and said softly: "Princess, is the border peaceful now? Was there any fighting in the Southern Tang Dynasty before you returned to Beijing?"
"I actually don't know. When I returned home, I basically stayed in the inner courtyard, and I basically didn't know what happened outside." Zhang Wanyin shook her head apologetically, "If Miss Yu is worried, I will write to my aunt.
, let her help take care of your sister."
"Thank you so much, Princess." Yu Yuxi was overjoyed, "Sister, I have just arrived at the border. She is not familiar with the place. She has never left the inner courtyard in the past. I am afraid she really doesn't know anything. It would be great if Mrs. Zhennan Hou takes care of her.
.”
As she stood up to salute Zhang Wanyin, Zhang Wanyin grabbed her and said, "Miss Yu, you are so polite. What are we sisters saying with these polite words?"
After saying a word, Yu Yuxi's eyes flashed with a hint of evil, but then she softened and sat down with Zhang Wanyin's hand: "Thank you, Princess."
The so-called elder sister can only be a younger sister according to the identity of the side concubine. This reminded her of the missed position of the principal concubine, and she felt angry. If it hadn't been for her accident, it would have been Zhang Wanyin's turn to get the position of Princess Duan.
King Rui specially reminded himself...
"Princess, is your residence close to the border?" Yu Xijiao's eyes swept over the two people calmly, and then asked.
"Actually, it's not that close. The Marquis of Zhennan is a bit far away from the military camp. All the soldiers' families are in the city, and the same is true in my house." Zhang Wanyin said.
"How long is the distance from the city to the military camp?" Yu Xijiao became curious, her clear eyes full of curiosity. Seeing that both Yu Yuxi and Zhang Wanyin noticed her, she explained with a hint of shyness, "I have been in Jiangnan before.
I have never seen a barracks, and I don’t know what the safe distance is at the border. I heard that the people in Southern Tang Dynasty are very unreasonable and will fight if they disagree."
"That's not so great." Zhang Wanyin smiled and raised his eyes to look at Yu Xijiao. When he talked about the border and the barracks, he looked very interested. "In recent years, Southern Tang has settled down.
Many, King Yi's mission to the Southern Tang Dynasty this time should also be for peace talks."
"Nantang went back on its word, do you really want to negotiate peace with them?" Yu Xijiao frowned slightly.
"Southern Tang...can't you believe it?" Yu Yuxi also agreed.
Thinking of their identities, Zhang Wanyin smiled and gently comforted her, "Since King Yi has already traveled, there shouldn't be any big problems."
"Why is there no big problem? Isn't it because we didn't find any big problem before? I heard that the death of Marquis Zhengyuan was related to the Southern Tang Dynasty. The assassination of my elder brother this time when he returned to Beijing was also the Southern Tang Dynasty's plan. In the past, he was directly at war with us.
Now he is secretly plotting against an important official of our court."
Yu Xijiao sneered angrily: "What's wrong with me? Why do you deal with me like this? Now you've harmed me like this."
"Miss Yu, be careful, this matter has not been finalized yet." Zhang Wanyin said with a serious face.
"If the Southern Tang Dynasty were not going to deal with our Jin soldiers, who would the princess think it would be? Who would secretly harm Zhengyuanhou? Zhengyuanhou fought for the country and once saved the emperor, so he was the emperor's most favored one.
Loyal minister, if not the Southern Tang Dynasty, who would not be able to tolerate the Marquis of Zhengyuan?"
Yu Xijiao asked back.
If it's not the Southern Tang Dynasty, then it's the country, and this person has to have great hands and eyes, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do such a big thing. Thinking about it carefully, there may even be matters related to the Duke Anguo's mansion. Zhang Wanyin was asked, but she
The response was also quick, "Miss Yu San really asked me, I just heard people say that, I really don't know the details."
Don't say yes or no, just look like an outsider and pick yourself out.
It’s no wonder that Princess Mingqing is so comfortable in the palace. This skill of talking and making a fortune is not something that ordinary people can learn.
"Princess, then who do you think is going to deal with and harm my eldest brother? My eldest brother is not the most powerful among the soldiers on the border, right?"
Yu Yuxi also came up to ask questions.
"Princess, you have heard a lot of news in the palace and know a lot. Can you tell us who is likely to be unable to tolerate the eldest brother? Who is the eldest brother in the way? Why did you assassinate the eldest brother all the way?" Yu Xijiao also said
Followed.
The words about Zhengyuan Houfu were brought up, and the matter of Yu Xianyi was brought up again. Zhang Wanyin felt unhappy. She did not come here today to clear up the confusion between the two sisters.
Whether it was the matter of Marquis Zhengyuan or Yu Xianyi's matter, there were many entanglements in it, and she could pry into them at will.
"I really don't know about this, maybe Prince Duan and Prince Qi will know something." Zhang Wanyin shook her head and helplessly took Prince Duan and Prince Qi out.
With one word, both Yu sisters stopped.
"It's getting late, it's time for me to leave. The Queen Mother is still waiting for me to go back and prepare medicinal food." Zhang Wanyin said, standing up to leave.
"Third sister, give me a gift for Princess Mingqing." Yu Yuxi stood up holding the maid's hand.
"Princess, please." Yu Xijiao nodded in agreement and stood up.
"Second Miss Yu, you have a good rest. I will come see you when I have time. If you need any good medicinal materials, please tell me and I will ask the imperial physician in the palace." Zhang Wanyin looked at Yu Yuxi's face with concern and said.
"Thank you, Princess." Yu Yuxi bowed sideways.
Zhang Wanyin warned Yu Yuxi a few more words before leaving with Yu Xijiao. Watching the two of them go out and walk away, the soft smile on Yu Yuxi's face faded and she sat down again, with a gloomy look in her eyes.
"Girl, what are Princess Mingqing doing here today?" Jin Yu asked cautiously, looking at the retreating figures of a group of people outside the window.
Princess Mingqing suddenly came over today, which was very unexpected.
The two of them have nothing to do with each other now. Although they know that they will both be members of Prince Duan's Mansion in the future, they must not be together now.
"A princess who is nothing, actually came to our house, how shameless." Yu Yuxi sneered, the so-called elder sister became more and more angry the more she thought about it.
"Princess Mingqing came here specifically to taunt the girl?" Jin Yu wondered.
"She is Princess Duan, and I am the concubine. Her status overwhelms mine." Yu Yuxi spoke very slowly, almost every word.
As long as she thinks about Zhang Wanyin being the future Princess Duan, she can't swallow her breath.
"Girl, what happened in the palace back then, could it have something to do with... her?" Jin Yu frowned and said thoughtfully.
If it hadn't been for what happened in the palace, my girl would not be in the current situation. All the reasons were that palace banquet, and all the benefits fell on Princess Mingqing.
"Nine times out of ten, it is." Yu Yuxi snorted coldly.
"Girl..." Jin Yu had just guessed before, but now she was startled by her words and her expression changed drastically.
"Don't worry, I won't touch her for the time being. After all, Prince Duan has said that at least I will give her face. Princess Duan, let's see how long she can sit there."
Yu Yuxi sneered and said, even though she said this, she felt like she was holding back a breath of anger, feeling uncomfortable up and down, and an irritability that she couldn't describe or explain.
To give Zhang Wanyin face and make her become Princess Duan? Prince Duan clearly said otherwise before, but now Zhang Wanyin has changed his mind before she even gets married.
If Zhang Wanyin goes to Prince Duan's Mansion first in the future, will Prince Duan change his mind again when he enters Prince Duan's Mansion again? The words he once promised himself seemed to have changed before she became Princess Duan.
Are all these years of planning really going to go wrong because of Zhang Wanyin? He lost the election because of matters in the palace, and then it was because of his mother's matters that he ended up in the current situation.
If he followed the rules, he would probably be defeated step by step in the future. His father was no longer the obedient father he was before. His mother's reputation was gone and now she has the reputation of being crazy. Mrs. Zhou is just an average wife, let alone her.
No matter how good it is, at most it can be passable on the surface.
As for her grandmother, she would never stand on her side.
The eldest brother is basically useless, and there is no telling what will happen in the future. Yu Xijiao is another person who disagrees with her. After all, Yu Yuxi feels upset. Although Zhang Wanyin has no background to help, she is a popular person in front of the Queen Mother. With this,
The Queen Mother's face may help Prince Duan more than herself.
But my originally good cards were broken because of my mother. Let alone help, my mother was more of a drag...
"Jin Yu, help me go in and rest." Yu Yuxi took a deep breath and said softly.
"Girl, be careful." Jin Yu hurriedly stepped forward, helped Yu Yuxi carefully enter the inner room, and helped her lie down on the couch.
"You will bring some gifts to see grandma later and ask her how she is injured. If grandma asks about me, just say... Princess Mingqing is here. King Duan told me before that Princess Mingqing will be here in the future.
It’s Princess Duan who tells me not to be disrespectful or ignore Princess Mingqing.”
King Duan's attitude changed. It was different from what she had imagined before. The slight change made Yu Yuxi panic. Zhang Wanyin's attitude was very strange. Didn't she really come here to show off and demonstrate?
Show off and demonstrate? Zhang Wanyin doesn’t think it’s necessary.
She looked towards the lotus pond in the distance and smiled slightly: "Miss Yu, I heard that the lotus pond in my house is good, can you take a look?"
