The carriage stopped in front of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, and a little maid jumped out of the carriage and went to deliver a note in front of the door.
"Miss Li?" The waiter at the door looked at the carriage behind her in astonishment, "Which family is Miss Li?"
"Our girl is Miss Li who was implicated because of Prince Qi's son before. Our master's crime was framed before," the maid said.
Now the whole capital is talking about this Miss Li, and everyone is wondering how stunning this Miss Li is, and whether something really happened between her and Prince Duan, and between her and Prince Qi.
So, is that Miss Li?
"Is this Miss Li who is related to the corruption case?" The boy asked one more question specifically to confirm his identity.
"yes!"
"Just wait." The boy took the note and ran out quickly.
After receiving the post, Mingyue turned around and sent it into the house. Yu Xijiao looked at the post and said, "Li Xiangyi?"
"Girl, what is she doing here at this time?" Qingyue came in with tea and asked in surprise.
The most common rumors outside at this time are about her, and there are all kinds of rumors about her. Compared with her previous good reputation, there are some more scandalous things about Li Xiangyi now.
"Girl, she didn't come here specifically because of the prince, right?" Mingyue said.
"Maybe... it's to thank our girl?" Qingyue hesitated and said, "At that time, our girl gave her ten taels of silver and temporarily saved her."
Yu Xijiao smiled.
"This woman is ambitious." Mingyue said bluntly. Mingyue could faintly sense this woman's ambition.
"Let her come in." Yu Xijiao shook the post in her hand and clasped it on the table.
"Girl, since you know she comes with bad intentions, why do you still want to see her?" Qingyue said worriedly. She had just guessed casually before, but after guessing, she felt that it was wrong.
"See you now that you're here." Yu Xijiao said disapprovingly, knocking on the table lightly, "It's rare for her to come to the door on her own initiative. It would be a little arrogant for me to shut the door to her."
Li Xiangyi followed the maid and waited in front of the door. The maid went in to report, and then led Li Xiangyi in.
There is a 20% fold screen in the middle of the main room. No one can be seen in front of the screen. There is a maid guarding in front of the screen. This is the third girl Yu. Until now, Li Xiangyi has not seen this legendary Yu.
The appearance of the three girls.
Princess Duan admired Yu Xijiao very much and said that she was the only one in heaven but not on earth. Li Xiangyi was very unconvinced.
"I've met Miss Yu San." Li Xiangyi stood in front of the screen and bowed respectfully to the screen. Although her current status was not comparable to Miss Yu San inside, he might not have had the opportunity to step on her head in his years.
"Miss Li, please take a seat." Yu Xijiao's voice came from behind the screen, with a hint of calmness in it. This was actually the third time we met.
Compared with the previous two times, this time Li Xiangyi was a little more confident and dared to come to the door. The future concubine of King Yong was indeed in a rather surprising position...
Li Xiangyi smiled and sat down on the brocade stool on the side. Qingyue brought tea and stepped back.
"I wonder what Miss Li is here for today?" Yu Xijiao asked.
"Xiangyi is here to express his apology." Li Xiangyi said, lowering his head, and said softly: "I had troubled Miss Yu San that day, and this time I have troubled Miss Yu San again because of the matter between the palace and... and Prince Qi.
Girls, they are all suitable, right?"
She spoke hesitantly, as if there really was something. Her words made people feel that there really was something between her and Feng Yu. If Yu Xijiao didn't know anything, her relationship with Feng Yu was really as rumored by outsiders.
It's so bad that I can't help but believe what she says is true.
After all, this person was sitting there shyly, with his face slightly red and his head slightly lowered, which was quite interesting.
With Feng Yu's temperament, no one would dare to actually go forward, especially not to ask about this kind of thing.
Mingyue raised her eyes and glanced at Li Xiangyi mockingly. Not only was this woman ambitious, she also had a bad heart. Was she trying to separate the prince from his daughter?
"Miss Li, you're welcome.
"Yu Xijiao said calmly and did not answer her words.
Li Xiangyi raised his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Miss Yu, Xiangyi really has nothing to do with the Crown Prince of Qi. On that day, the Empress Dowager summoned Xiangyi to enter the palace, but he didn't expect to meet the Crown Prince of Qi.
.”
"If Miss Li just wants to say this, you don't have to say it. Our family has a normal relationship with Prince Qi's family." Yu Xijiao's voice behind the screen sounded a little unhappy.
"Miss Yu...are you angry?" Li Xiangyi looked at the screen again uneasily.
"Miss Li is wrong. The matter of Prince Qi really has nothing to do with me. I don't know why Miss Li came here to tell me these things! If Miss Li is looking for Prince Qi, I will send you to Prince Qi's Mansion.
." Yu Xijiao laughed softly and said gently.
Li Xiangyi was slightly surprised. This Miss Yu from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion really told Prince Duan Mansion that she was not easy to deal with.
It's all like this, but there is no intention of getting angry at all, only a little bit unhappy.
After gathering his thoughts, Li Xiangyi raised his head and said, "Miss Yu, this matter is a misunderstanding. Xiangyi and Prince Qi really have nothing to do with each other. I was afraid that Miss Yu would misunderstand, so I came here to explain."
This time, her attitude was much clearer and she sounded more sincere.
It's just that the previous words are there, no matter how sincere the words are, they sound a bit uncomfortable: "Xiangyi has been staying in Zhennanhou Mansion these days. He only found out about this when Mrs. Zhennanhou took her in, so I came here to ask for it.
Miss Yu San apologizes."
Li Xiangyi said and asked the maid to present a gift box.
"Miss Yu San, Xiangyi came to Beijing and has nothing to offer. This is the only jade pendant I have with me. It was given by my father by chance to express my apology." The maid sent the gift box to Mingyue.
Mingyue reached out to take it and transferred it behind the screen.
Opening one piece, it turned out to be a jade pendant, a jade pendant with excellent water quality. Yu Xijiao narrowed her eyes and reached out to slowly pick up the jade pendant.
A jade pendant that looks familiar.
After looking at the front and back, the eyes looked a bit darker, and they looked really familiar, just like the one Zhang Wanyin wore.
After looking carefully, I felt thoughtful.
After a while, he said: "Miss Li, where did you get this jade pendant?"
"I don't know, my father got it before and gave it to Xiangyi. I brought it with me to Beijing this time to present it to Miss Yu to express Xiangyi's apology." Li Xiangyi said.
"Miss Li's jade pendant is very interesting. Has Miss Li seen any similar jade pendant?"
Except that it doesn't have the mark of Zhennan Hou Mansion, the jade quality is also good. It has a slight warmth after getting it. It should be warm jade.
"Never." Li Xiangyi said.ap.
"Is it Princess Duan's intention to live in Zhennan Hou Mansion?" Yu Xijiao pinched the jade pendant again and asked.
"The Queen Mother meant that Xiangyi was pitiful and had no good place to live, so she asked Xiangyi to live in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion. Compared with other places, the Zhennan Marquis Mansion is more suitable." Li Xiangyi has a very good attitude now, almost like Yu.
Xi Jiao answered whatever she asked. There was a hint of provocation when she entered the door at first, but now there is no trace of it.
The Zhennan Marquis' Mansion is indeed suitable. There is no male master here and the whole house is full of women. There is nothing more suitable than the Zhennan Marquis' Mansion.
"I've seen this jade pendant before." Yu Xijiao smiled and said bluntly.
"Where have you seen Miss Yu San?" Li Xiangyi asked in surprise, "My father said at the beginning that these jade pendants might be a pair, but he only got one piece, so the idea that they are a pair is just a guess."
Yu Xijiao smiled: "I've seen it before, Mrs. Qian."
"Mrs. Qian?" Li Xiangyi had just arrived in the capital and didn't know who Mrs. Qian was.
"I can't accept this jade pendant, and I don't know anything about you. It's not for me to judge whether it's right or wrong." Yu Xijiao put the jade pendant back into the gift box, pushed it, and said casually, "Maybe it's me.
I misread it, or it may be Mrs. Li or Mrs. Wang."
Yu Xijiao mentioned these two people casually. She had no idea whether there were these two people or who they were.
Li Xiangyi was even more confused.
Mingyue took the gift box out of the screen again and pushed the gift box in front of the previous maid.
The maid turned back to look at Li Xiangyi, but did not dare to answer.
"Miss Yu San, this is my sincerity." Li Xiangyi stood up with a frightened expression, and looked at the screen with a pair of full eyes uneasily, as if he was really afraid that Yu Xijiao was going to punish her.
"Miss Li, I am not interested in this jade pendant, and this similar jade pendant is not in my hands." Yu Xijiao picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip and put it down gently, "If Miss Li is really sincere, can I ask
one thing."
"Miss Yu, please speak." Li Xiangyi said hurriedly.
"Seventh Princess..."
"Miss Yu San, I don't know about this... I don't know anything." Li Xiangyi suddenly interrupted Yu Xijiao, panicked, and twisted the handkerchief in his hand hard, with a look of fear on his face.
He looked like, "Miss Yu, Xiangyi still has something to do. Come and visit Miss Yu next time."
After saying that, she bowed to Yu Xijiao, turned around and took the maid away, obviously unwilling to say what she said when she went to the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
Two jade pendants were placed on the table, one was the original broken one, and the other one was sent by Li Xiangyi just now.
The two jade pendants are not placed together. At first glance, they look like a real pair. But if you put them together and distinguish them carefully, you can still see that they are not a pair in the first place.
The quality of jade is somewhat different.
Even warm jade has grades. The broken piece of jade is of better quality. Although Li Xiangyi's piece is also warm jade, it is quite different.
"Girl, there is one piece at Princess Duan's place, why are there three pieces?" Mingyue looked a little confused and couldn't help but ask.
At that time, Yu Xijiao touched Zhang Wanyin's piece and looked at it carefully. She felt that it was a pair with her broken jade pendant. Later, Zhang Wanyin said that it was the jade pendant left by her father, and said that one of the jade pendants was lost in
In the Southern Tang Dynasty, Yu Xijiao felt that the piece she was holding belonged to the Zhennan Hou Mansion.
But if you don't look at the piece in front of you in one place, at first glance, you really can't tell the difference.
What if the same situation applies to Zhang Wanyin? After all, the two jade pendants were not put together for comparison at that time.
Maybe it has nothing to do with the jade pendant in Yu Xijiao's hand?
