Shao Mo did not let go, his cold and gloomy eyes reflected the woman's crimson face.
Although she is not delicate, her hair is slightly loose when the hair is swaying, which makes her look even more delicate.
The light gold silk smoky green dress wrapped her slender body like a magnolia in bud.
His eyes dimmed a little more, and he didn't realize that she was so slim and thin, holding her waist so tightly that it seemed as if he could break her whole body with just a little more force.
"Shao Mo!"
She shouted, and Yao Xiang couldn't stand any longer. Even though she was still afraid of Shao Mo, she ran over quickly and said angrily: "You, let go of Miss!"
Shao Mo lowered his dark eyes, and as if waking up from a dream, he placed her on the flat stone bricks, bent over and knelt down in front of her.
"Mo Duo has offended me, please punish me, Miss!"
Yu Weiyin was in a state of confusion, and he caught a glimpse of a patch of mud not far away. Fortunately, there was no one around, so he didn't want to make this matter a big deal.
She subconsciously twisted her handkerchief and waved: "Forget it...you wait here, Yao Xiang will follow me in."
"Thank you, miss!"
Shao Mo stood beside the carriage and looked down at his hands.
With just one palm, he could tighten her slender waist, and the soft touch seemed to still spread in his palm, and his eyes suddenly became dark.
Aren’t you a eldest lady who is not afraid of anything? Aren’t you a person who treats public appearances as if they are nothing?
But when he gets close, he becomes so panicked, even his lips are more beautiful than usual, and his delicate skin seems to have been gently rubbed by someone, turning it all into a bewitching cherry pink.
Is this also her trick to confuse people?
Since she still wants to play, the days are long and he will always find the opportunity to reveal her true identity.
If she wanted his body, he would repay her earlier. He had always hated the idea of owing favors.
Hall of Xu Mansion.
The maid welcomed Yu Weiyin to the table, made Anxi Tieguanyin to serve, and said respectfully: "Miss Yu, wait a moment, my lady will be here soon."
Yu Weiyin nodded, turned his gaze to the green tea, took a few deep breaths, and finally suppressed the confusion in his heart.
Yao Xiang stepped forward to help her straighten her temples. She was very angry at Shao Mo's behavior just now and couldn't help but whisper: "Miss, I see that Shao Mo really doesn't understand the rules. You should punish him well, otherwise he will
I’ll dare you next time.”
"He..." Yu Weiyin was confused for a while, "He also did this to prevent my dress from being stained with mud. Maybe it was not intentional."
"Miss, his behavior just now was too out of bounds! I feel that he has evil intentions towards you, miss..."
A handsome and cold face quickly appeared in his mind, and Yu Weiyin burst into laughter, "Don't be ridiculous, how could a person with such a cold nature like Shao Mo be like this? All the things he did to me were just to repay my kindness."
From her impression and understanding of Shao Mo, he was a person who valued love and justice, but that didn't mean he harbored other thoughts towards her.
What's more, how long has he been in the mansion?
I'm used to being taciturn on weekdays, and I only do what I'm expected to do, and there's nothing wrong with it at all.
On the contrary, she would subconsciously panic every time he came near her. Especially in recent days, her heart would feel a little tight even when she looked into his eyes.
It was not that she had never imagined that if the person she married was Shao Mo, would there be a different ending?
But that's just thinking about it. After Zhao Wu dealt with the aftermath, she is no longer as obsessed with men as she used to be. I'm lucky if I get it, but I'm lucky if I lose it.
Nowadays, the burden on her is becoming increasingly heavy, and there are so many people she wants to protect, so where can she think of anything else?
Even if there is, it is just talking in the mind to relieve boredom.
Yao Xiang still wanted to persuade her, but she saw Xu Yingke turning around the moon gate from a distance and walking towards this side, so she stopped talking.
"As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, don't go to the Three Treasures Palace. Yu Weiyin, why did you come to see me?"
Xu Yingke wore a moon-white light blouse and a pleated gold-embroidered skirt. She held a petal-shaped fan in her hand and showed a flamboyant smile on her bright face.
Yu Weiyin stood up, and after the two of them wished each other good luck, she took out the two gold and silver hairpins from her arms and handed them to Xu Yingke without much preparation.
"I heard that Concubine Ling will be returning to Tongcheng soon to visit the bride. I have prepared two hairpins here. Can you give them to Concubine Ling on my behalf?"
Xu Yingke took the hairpin and saw that the iris and lily of the valley were embroidered so beautifully and cutely. Her eyes showed a look of joy and she looked back and forth for a long time.
After that, he put down the hairpin again and just looked at Yu Weiyin smiling.
"What do you mean?
"What are you and Yu Chutian doing? Why do they all come to my Xu Mansion to give gifts? I'm really puzzled."
Yu Weiyin did not answer, only asked: "Then who do you think the gift is more suitable for you?"
"If we only rely on etiquette, Yu Chutian is much more sincere than you. Just the silks and satins brought in several large boxes, not to mention the fashionable hairpins, which are really dazzling."
"You, Xu Yingke, Miss Xu, don't you have silk beads and flowers? How can you value these vulgar things? My two hairpins are for Concubine Ling. As for the gift for you, they are still on the way."
Xu Yingke looked at her meaningful smile and immediately became curious, "What kind of gift?"
"Yao Guang Ling!"
Xu Yingke's scalp felt numb for a while, the smile on her lips quietly disappeared, and she stared at Yu Weiyin in surprise.
"How do you know what I'm thinking? I think this Yaoguang Ling is also what I want to give to my empress."
"Yaoguang damask is produced in Yue region. This kind of satin damask has protruding lines and sometimes has a luster, unlike Luo Wei and Danqi. Bai Juyi once said: 'It should be like a forty-five-foot waterfall in front of the bright moon on Tiantai Mountain', and
It says: 'Weaved with the movement of autumn geese outside the clouds, dyed with the color of spring water in the south of the Yangtze River'.
If the Concubine Ling can get a piece of shining silk with steaming clouds and rosy clouds, covered with a silk veil, light and soft, she will definitely stand out from the crowd of concubines. By then, the Queen will be favored and the Xu family will be rich and prosperous.
"
Every time Yu Weiyin said something, Xu Yingke admired her even more.
This Yu Weiyin has been different since the last meeting at Qu Shui Shang. Not only did he speak and behave politely, but his thoughts were also exceptionally clear, and he analyzed the situation in the Xu Mansion clearly and logically.
She hurriedly suppressed the shock in her heart and asked: "Did you know that this Yaoguang Ling has been extremely rare in Dachen since the demise of the Yue Kingdom. I heard that the girl Yan Xiao from Shichun Tower is a descendant of Yue women. She
There is one there, but it is usually not allowed to be looked at and refused to be shared with others, so how can you get it?"
"You don't need to pay attention. I will find a way to get you the Yaoguang Silk. Do you still feel that this gift is light now?"
"Just for a small Yuji embroidery workshop? This deal is not a good deal for you!"
Xu Yingke turned the hairpin in her hand and thought, "If you want, after you get the Yaoguang Ling, I can ask the empress to make you a female officer of the Shangfu Bureau. Wouldn't it be better than Yu Chutian?"
Yu Weiyin smiled faintly and asked instead, "Xu Yingke, if you are allowed to join the palace as an official, would you be willing?"
"Of course I don't want to! Being trapped within the red wall and becoming a canary raised by the emperor is not what I want..."
She was full of enthusiasm, but only halfway through her words, she quietly covered her mouth, realized what she was doing, and suddenly smiled apologetically, "You and I both yearn for freedom, how could we enter the palace and become an object for others to choose from? It's my fault, I shouldn't have asked this question.
