The few osmanthus trees in the front yard were in full bloom, and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of osmanthus.
"Qiqi, Qiqi!" It was Baili Xuanxuan's voice. She was dressed in pink and had a cheerful expression on her face. She was running towards Yingluo Qiqi.
"Sister-in-law Xuan Xuan." Qi Qi smiled.
Yingluo Zhan laughed exaggeratedly and patted Yingluo Jingyu's shoulder, his eyes full of fatherly love.
"Master Yingluo!" A sharp voice came, and several people looked at the source at the same time. Yingluo Zhan saw the popular person beside the emperor, Eunuch Cui.
"So it's Eunuch Cui. May I know why you've come from afar?”Yingluo Zhan strode forward, ready to welcome Eunuch Cui. Yingluo Qiqi and the others followed behind Yingluo Zhan.
When Eunuch Cui heard Yingluo Zhan's words, he covered his face with his hand and laughed a few times."What are you talking about, Family Head? This time, I came to invite the Yingluo Family to a banquet. The Third Prince of the Aoqian Kingdom specially came to this country.”
"Oh? Was that so? Then our Qiqi is blessed, hahaha!”Yingluo Zhan made an inviting gesture and continued,"Eunuch must be thirsty after rushing all the way here! Stay for a cup of tea before you leave!"
"Good! Then I'll have to trouble you, Patriarch." Eunuch Cui smiled and made an inviting gesture with Yingluo Zhan to show his courtesy.
Yingluo Qiqi watched the two of them flatter each other and couldn't help but yawn. Looking at the three of them with bitter faces, Qiqi suddenly felt much better.
"Um, Dad, I'm a little tired. I want Xuan Xuan to accompany me to rest.”Yingluo Qiqi pretended to be weak as she said this, and those who knew her looked at her with disdain.
Eunuch Cui didn't think much of it. He smiled kindly and said,""Third Miss, if you're tired, go back to your room! Third Miss should pay more attention to her health and not fall sick!”
Yingluo Qiqi nodded with a smile. Eunuch Cui was a little surprised to see Yingluo Qiqi's reaction, but it seemed to be within his expectations.
Yingluo Zhan saw that Eunuch Cui also allowed it, so he nodded and agreed. Sometimes, he couldn't help it.
" Alright then, we'll be leaving first." As he spoke, he held Baili Xuanxuan's arm and left.
"Qi Qi!" Yingluo glanced at the two people who were about to leave. A second ago, she was still serious, but the next second, she made a pitiful expression at Qiqi, making Qiqi happy.
"Second Brother, is there anything? If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room with Xuan Xuan!”As she spoke, she made a face at Yingluo Jinghong. Baili Xuanxuan, who was at the side, was holding back her laughter, and her little face was red.
Yingluo stood there, looking like she wanted to cry but had no tears. She was so pitiful. At this time, Yingluo Jingyu patted Yingluo Jinghong's back and said sympathetically,"You still have me to accompany you!"
Yingluo rolled her eyes at him, unwilling to do those boring things with Yingluo.
In Qiqi's room…
"Xuan Xuan, when did you fall in love with my brother?”Yingluo Qiqi revealed a sinister smile and tugged at Baili Xuanxuan's clothes.
" Uh…" Baili Xuanxuan saw the unnatural smile on Yingluo Qiqi's face, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. Then, she returned to the topic and said,""Actually, there was one time when I ran away and was stopped by bandits. They wanted to capture me and make me their wife. It was at this time that Jingyu saved me.”
Yingluo smiled and looked at Xuan Xuan with calculating eyes. "Xuan Xuan, so it's a hero saving the damsel in distress! It's romantic!"
As she said this, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Yingluo Qiqi thought that it should be Ting Lan and Ting Yu.
"Miss, you're finally back. I thought you didn't want me anymore!”Ting Lan stood there with her hands clasped together and said pitifully to Qi Qi. Her fair little face also became especially cute because of this action.
Meanwhile, Ting Yu just stood at the side without any expression. Yingluo Qiqi only nodded. She knew that Tingyu had already guessed that she was suspicious of her, so some things were no longer necessary.
Yingluo walked past Ting Yu and towards Ting Lan. She gave Ting Lan a big hug and said,"You wretched girl, I've been back for so long, and you're only here now. Are you still throwing a tantrum at me?”As she said that, Qi Qi pinched Ting Lan's nose intimately and teased her.
Ting Lan's face turned red because of Qi Qi's expression.
"Aiya, Qiqi, stop teasing Tinglan.”Baili Xuanxuan, who was watching from the side, could not stand it anymore. She immediately came out to help Ting Lan. Thus, Baili Xuanxuan received Ting Lan's gratitude.
As for Ting Yu, she was ignored by them. She watched them play and felt a sense of loneliness. In Yingluo's residence, servants could no longer be called servants because they were all equal here. Ting Yu felt very awkward about the current situation, but she still kept her mouth shut and only lowered her head.
Yingluo Qiqi naturally noticed this detail, but she didn't want to pay attention to Ting Yu. She should have known how good Yingluo Qiqi was to her, but she didn't expect her to have an unspeakable secret. Qiqi couldn't accept it and was very disappointed in her.
Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the banquet in the palace. Today, Qi Qi was dressed in an eye-catching red robe. The peony that symbolized wealth bloomed on the red robe. It should have looked elegant and calm. However, with Qi Qi's current makeup, it seemed a little vulgar.
Moreover, Ting Yu, who was helping her with her makeup, also said,"Miss, why don't you remove your makeup and put it on again?”
Yingluo Qiqi shook her head and looked at herself in the bronze mirror, a little stunned.
"Miss, I think you've changed." Ting Yu said.
Yingluo Qiqi smiled and did not answer, but only she knew that they were not the same person. They had the same body, but their souls had changed. Moreover, she did not want to change the image of Yingluo Qiqi. If she changed, wouldn't she reveal a flaw?
"Qi Qi, the emperor has sent someone to pick you up!”Yingluo Jingyu, who had rushed over from outside, walked in and said.
Yingluo Qiqi nodded heavily and said,"Alright, let's go then!" As he said that, he patted his clothes and strode forward. Yingluo and Jingyu looked helplessly at their forthright sister and sighed. They didn't know if the Third Prince would like Qiqi.
A few hours passed just like that, and they had already arrived at the Imperial Palace.
Seeing everything in front of her, Qi Qi evaluated it in her heart. It was indeed extraordinary and magnificent. The appearance was definitely good. However, the moment they entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea. How many people understood this principle? They fought so hard for something that was not worth paying! How sad, how sad!
The young ladies of the official families were gathered in the imperial flower garden. With a glance, Qi Qi felt as if she had entered a flower garden. There were flowers everywhere, and it was really a little dazzling. Yingluo Qiqi was dressed in red and was also eye-catching among the young ladies of the official families. They gathered together in large groups and chatted about some trivial things. When they saw the main character appear, they pretended to bow. In their eyes, Yingluo Qiqi was a person who had nothing to do and had no knowledge. Other than playing with knives and guns, what else could she do? Relying on the fact that she was doted on by the Emperor and Empress, her tail was proudly raised to the sky. They had also heard a few days ago that Yingluo Qiqi was mixing with the gangsters of the market. She did not look like a lady at all. She was simply a shrew of the market. Therefore, they were even more against Yingluo Qiqi.
"Wow! The Left Prime Minister's daughter was here. She was indeed the number one beauty of Fengli Kingdom. She was so beautiful!”
"Yeah, much better than some people.”As the person spoke, his eyes glanced in the direction of Yingluo Qiqi, full of provocation.
Qi Qi laughed it off and asked Ting Lan and Ting Yu,""Who is that person?"
Ting Lan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. Ting Yu said honestly,"It's Minister Hong's daughter, Hong Lili.”
Yingluo Qiqi nodded, a bloodthirsty smile on her lips. She wasn't easy to bully. Wasn't it just because she was a silkpants? She still had a backer to support her when she got into trouble? To put it bluntly, she was jealous!
Yingluo Qiqi was resting alone in the pavilion. At this time, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister, Feng Yiran, came over. She walked over with lotus steps. Her graceful appearance was simply beautiful to the extreme. She was dressed in white like a fairy descending to the mortal world. To Yingluo Qiqi, it was a typical case of heaven and earth.
Her lips moved slightly and she spat out a few words,"Greetings Third Young Lady, I have long heard of Third Young Lady's great name.”Every word was spoken in a soft voice. Her simple hairstyle made her seem more virtuous and virtuous. However, Qi Qi did not know if she was really worthy of the words 'virtuous and virtuous.'
"No, no, Miss Feng, the number one beauty of Fengli Country is the most famous. How can I compare to her? Don't you think so?" Yingluo Qiqi patted her thighs and said in a mocking tone.
Feng Yiran's face stiffened for a moment. Then, she put on her signature smile and nodded lightly. There was a flash of viciousness in her eyes. She lowered her eyes slightly to hide it. However, it could not escape Qiqi's sharp eyes. Naturally, Qiqi saw it all.
"Can I sit here?" Feng Fengyi asked.
Yingluo Qiqi shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said casually,"This is not my territory, why are you asking me?”
Feng Yiran walked over with small steps. When she walked past Qi Qi, she fell to the ground with a thud. She cried out in surprise. Everyone looked at the pavilion. When they saw Feng Yiran on the ground, everyone ran over to watch the show. Of course, there were also a few of Feng Yiran's friends who helped her up.
Yingluo Qiqi looked at her tricks and did not think much of it. She leisurely hummed a little song and looked completely out of the matter.
Feng Yiran was helped to her feet, but she kept covering her forehead with her hand. She smiled and shook her head at the others."Thank you for your concern. I'm fine!”
Minister Hong's daughter, Hong Lili, was also on Feng Yiran's side. When she saw Feng Yiran clutching her forehead, she knew that she must have kowtowed. Hence, she gloated and said,""Why are you covering your forehead? Could it be that he fell and hurt himself?" When she talked about the injury, she deliberately raised her voice. The meaning behind it was very obscure.
When the ladies heard Hong Lili's words, they saw that it was true. They said in unison,"Yeah, why are you covering your forehead?”
Feng Yiran smiled bitterly." I'm really fine. Everyone, go play!"”
However, her bitterness gave everyone a message: She was lying!
At this moment, Hong Lili pulled Feng Yiran's hand down. There was a large cut on her fair forehead, and blood was seeping out. Some of the ladies who could not stand the shock had fainted. The people at the side rushed to the market to support her and called the imperial physician.
"Yo, yo, yo, look at this. Does it hurt?”Yingluo Qiqi widened her eyes and said to Feng Yiran with an evil smile.
