Liaodong was currently in the midst of war, but Chang 'an was now in the early autumn. Scholars and scholars were competing to go out to play, discuss poetry, and criticize the raging Liaodong war. However, at this moment, Xiao Shuran, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, lacked interest. It was as if she was visited by her period every day. She was listless all day.
Peace Residence, in the back garden of the Xiao manor, the fallen leaves began to wither. Eldest Miss Xiao was moaning.
"Life is really as lonely as snow. Qingyi, the days when Little Zhi isn't around are really boring.”The little demoness was lying on the stone table in her pavilion. Her eyes were listless as she looked at the golden chrysanthemums that had begun to bloom early in the garden. She was indescribably lazy.
"I think you've fallen in love and can't wait for the Crown Prince to come back and marry you.”The one who spoke was a young woman dressed in a green dress. She smiled slightly, revealing the shallow dimples on her cheeks. She was graceful, fresh, and elegant, like a cup of tea, making people unable to help but take a few more sniffs.
"What's wrong with moving? This young lady is at the age when marriage is in question. Could it be that I'm like you, not going out in love, and like to hug a book called "The Very High Sense" when I have nothing to do, nagging all day long and busying myself?”The little demoness glanced at Qing Yi from the corner of her eyes and said to herself.
"Love? Was it love between a man and a woman? It was another new term that the crown prince had used.”Ignoring the little devil's teasing, Qing Yi continued to speak.
"Hmph, how could it not be a new word that I said? He only wrote a few poems, yet you think so highly of him. Every time you come to my place, every word you say will be about that bad boy.”The little devil straightened her head and said seriously.
Qing Yi couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.""I've taken a fancy to her, but I can't say that. I'm just a little curious. It would be a lie to say that I'm not curious about someone who can write so many quatrains. Even if I really like her, it's very normal.”
"Oh, I know. You're finished." Xiao Shuran sat up and cried out. She pointed at Qing Yi with her left hand, her face full of surprise.
"You're the one who's finished. Nonsense.”Qing Yi looked at her best friend with a reproachful look.
"I'm spouting nonsense. Humph, humph, maybe someone's heart was moved and she had a crush on some young master, and she didn't even know it?”The little demoness stood up and placed her hands on the stone table. Her large, watery eyes stared at Qing Yi without blinking.
"Secret love? I won't." Qing Yi couldn't help but laugh again. He placed his hand on the little devil's red lips and gently tapped it as a punishment for speaking out.
"Hmph, you're teasing me again. However, to be honest, I really hope that you can marry that bad guy.”The little demoness sat back down. Her right palm sank her sharpened chin as she sighed leisurely.
"Oh, our usually heartless Eldest Miss Xiao is also depressed. What a strange story. Tell me, why?”Qing Yi looked at the little devil's conflicted expression and smiled.
"Why? Sister Qingyi, you don't know how much that guy likes that Wu Meiniang. Back then, for her, I almost became a monk.”As she spoke, the little devil's tears were about to fall.
"You mean the Crown Princess? Why was she thinking of fighting for favor before she even entered the family? This was not good. Men all liked magnanimous women. The current Emperor was known for his dissolute ways, but he respected and loved Empress Zhangsun. Putting aside feelings, if Empress Zhangsun was a jealous woman, could the Emperor still be like this for decades? Speaking of which, you should learn from your future mother-in-law. She's the one who knows how to control her husband.”
"Really? Well, actually, it wasn't a fight for favor. It was a fixed favor. He couldn't win. You don't know that Wu Mei Niang. She stood in the crowd and everyone, regardless of men or women, revolved around her. She could always make others listen to her. I feel that I can't compare to her. So, Sister Qingyi, you must help me. With your talent, how many men in the world can compare to you?”The little demoness lowered her head, feeling a little helpless.
"Shuran, don't be so self-pitying. A man not only needs a good wife, but also a wife who can make him happy. Our Miss Shuran is what you call a happy person. Everyone who is with you has to laugh to their heart's content. Sister and Shuran spend a day together and laugh more than usual. This is Shuran's charm.”Qing Yi gently caressed the little demoness 'incomparably smooth black hair as she consoled her with a smile.
"Really? Am I really that good?" When the little demoness heard Qing Yi's words, she immediately stood up in shock.
Instantly, his confidence soared. He stood up with his hands on his waist and puffed out his chest…" Haha!" She laughed maniacally." I knew it. No matter what, that Little Zhi is still a crown prince and a talented scholar. How could his taste be bad?" Hmm, it seems that I'm still a natural beauty who can't give up.”
Qing Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Xiao Shuran, who was looking at him in a daze. He shook his head and didn't know what to say.
As the two of them were talking, a servant girl came forward and said,"Young miss, the crown prince consort has arrived and has specially asked young miss to go and see him.”
"Ah... Sister Qingyi, speak of the devil, the devil has arrived. Now that he has come knocking on our door, what should we do?”The little demoness was shocked when she heard that. She went forward and pulled Qing Yi's sleeve, swaying it left and right.
"What do you mean by coming to my door? It's so ugly. You silly girl, I'll accompany you to see what this big tiger that can almost eat people looks like.”Qing Yi said dotingly as he tapped the little demoness 'forehead.
"Yay! If Sister Qingyi went out, she would be the equivalent of two. Who cares if she was a martial beauty or a literary beauty? They were all floating clouds.”When the little girl heard that her elder sister in green was going to take action, the little tail of the demoness stretched out from behind her and curled up high.
" You…" Qing Yi shook his head helplessly.
The lovely dividing line.
"Crown Prince Consort, what can I do for you?”
"I don't dare to be like this, State Duke Song. BenGong specially came today to visit the little sister of the Xiao family. Speaking of which, BenGong also wants to live under the same roof with the little sister of the Xiao family. For a long time, I didn't have the friendship of a girl with the little sister of the Xiao family.”Looking at the old man in front of her, Wu Meiniang was not the slightest bit careless.
The Duke of Song, Xiao Yu, was ranked ninth in the newly built Lingyan Pavilion. He was the younger brother of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Empress Xiao, and was an important minister of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. He was demoted to Hechi County Chief because he opposed the expedition to Goguryeo. After taking office, he was attacked by Xue Ju and fought hard to resist. After Li Yuan raised his army, he attached himself to the Tang Dynasty and was good at administration. He was reused by Li Yuan all his life. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he offended Li Shimin many times due to his discord with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. His career had been ups and downs, but he had never " reformed ". Later, Li Shimin evaluated him as "a strong wind knows the strength of grass, and a steady heart knows the sincerity of a minister."
Xiao Yu smiled." Crown Princess must be joking. That girl of mine is mischievous and doesn't look like a girl at all. She looks more like a man. It's the blessing of the Xiao Family of Lanling to be favored by His Highness."”
Wu Meiniang smiled faintly." State Duke Song is too modest. Lady Xiao is known as 'Chang' an's number one beauty'. Countless young talents and aristocratic families want to marry you."”
" Hahaha, Crown Princess Consort, you flatter me, you flatter me, hahaha," Xiao Yu stroked his goatee and said humbly, but the pride in his words could not be concealed.
For a moment, the hall was filled with laughter, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
"Shuran greets father and the crown prince consort.”Xiao Shuran bent her knees and bowed to Xiao Yu and Wu Meiniang in a ladylike manner.
"Qingyi greets uncle, greets the crown prince consort.”Qing Yi bowed elegantly like a fairy, but what was surprising was that she actually called Xiao Yu uncle.
"Stand up, little sister Xiao. En, in the past, husband had often told Mei Niang that the Xiao Clan's younger sister was as beautiful as a fairy. At that time, Mei Niang was still quite unconvinced. Now that she had seen her, it was indeed not as good as seeing her in person. If Mei Niang was a man, she would most likely kneel at the feet of the Xiao Clan's younger sister.”Wu Meiniang smiled as she held Xiao Shuran's hands and praised sincerely.
"Really? Did George really say that?" The little demoness was pleasantly surprised.
"Shuran, don't be rude. How do you address the Crown Prince?”Xiao Yu put on an orange old face and blamed.
"Oh, I know. Please forgive me, Crown Princess Consort.”The little demoness lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Sister, you can't call her Crown Princess in the future. It's too distant. Call her Sister Wu in the future, understand?”Wu Meiniang looked at the little demoness with a friendly expression. Her eyes were like crescent moons.
"Really?"
"What do you think?" Wu Meiniang pretended to blame him.
"That's great, I have another sister now. Sister Wu, let me introduce you. This is Shuran's other sister, Shangguan Qingyi, Sister Shangguan.”
"Shangguan Qingyi greets the Crown Princess.”
"Old Duke, the people in your residence are all top-notch people. Although I've never seen this sister before, she's one of the most extraordinary women in the world.”Wu Meiniang held Shangguan Qingyi's shoulders, praising her endlessly.
"Haha, Crown Princess Consort, Qingyi is the daughter of my good friend Shangguan Yi. Her zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting are rare in the world, especially her calligraphy.”Xiao Yu had a face full of praise for the daughter of an outsider, causing the little devil's mouth to quietly pout.
"Oh, that's true." Wu Meiniang was also a fanatical calligraphy fan. Other than collecting world-renowned calligraphy, she was also obsessed with Li Zhi's "self-created" willow style. Now that she heard that this beautiful woman in front of her was a calligraphy master, she immediately had the idea of getting to know her.
"Old Duke, I wonder if I can invite my sister from the Xiao family and this sister from Shangguan family to the Eastern Palace for a few days. My husband has left, and the Eastern Palace has been empty for a while. I've been quite lonely, and it's rare to have such a beautiful sister.”
"My daughter is naturally more than happy to do so. As for Qingyi, this old man can still make the decision to accompany the Crown Princess to the Eastern Palace for a few days.”Xiao Yu stroked his goatee and nodded in agreement.
"I can't wait."
"Everything will be arranged by uncle."
"Then BenGong won't disturb the old country duke.”
"Crown Princess, please go ahead." Xiao Yu extended his hand and said with a smile.
"Come, sisters, let's go back to the palace.”Wu Meiniang held one in each hand and laughed as she walked. From time to time, she could hear Xiao Shuran's crisp laughter.
Xiao Yu put away his smile and came to the door of the hall. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the disappearing backs of the three people."Shuran, oh Shuran, this Crown Princess Consort is so powerful. I wonder if it will be a blessing or a curse for you to enter the palace in the future. Sigh, the women of my Xiao family will never be able to escape the palace.”
Shangguan Qingyi, who was holding Wu Meiniang's hand, was also feeling the same emotions as Old Master Xiao.
The lovely dividing line.
