The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Lou Huan only woke up slowly after the sun had risen to three poles. She was too interested in playing chess yesterday, so she was a little late. Poor Qi Mu, on the other hand, got up early in the morning and went to the palace.
"The Princess Consort is awake." Biyue led a few maidservants into the room to help Lou Huan wash up, but she saw that Lou Huan looked very tired.
"Yes, it's you." Lou Huan rubbed her forehead and glanced at Bi Yue.
"Yiqiu jiejie specially asked this servant to wash wangfei.”Biyue helped Lou Huan wash up and get dressed. After she was done, she helped her sit in front of the bronze mirror and asked," What hairstyle do you want to wear today, Princess Consort?"”
"Whatever. Just keep it simple." Lou Huan rarely tied her hair into a bun. Firstly, she found it troublesome, and secondly, she found it a little restrictive. Therefore, her hair bun was never extravagant, and her hair accessories were extremely simple.
"Yes." Biyue's hands were very nimble. Her black hair twirled in her hands and was tied up in a short while. She put on a purple agate light purple old glaze hairpin and added a jade daffodil mother-of-pearl hairpin. It was elegant yet dignified.
"Have you thought it through?" Lou Huan said softly. Her tone was calm, but it made people tense up." Biyue, I admit that I'm not bad at judging people. I didn't see through your thoughts. If you really betray me one day, I can only accept it. You hid it too well. I have to admire you."”
Upon hearing Lou Huan's words, Biyue quickly squatted down and said," I have no second thoughts. Moreover, the Third Young Master also instructed me to serve the Princess Consort well.”
"Get up. From now on, you and Yiqiu will serve me.”
Qi Mu and the other princes had entered the palace early in the morning to discuss with the Emperor about Nanyun's entry into Qi. They did not even return for lunch. It must be a complicated matter. The affairs of the court were complicated, but Lou Huan did not have any other thoughts. She just wanted to see that peerless beauty.
After lunch, Lou Huan strolled around the mansion and slowly familiarized herself with the terrain.
"Greetings, Princess Consort."
"Yiqiu, I haven't seen you all morning. Where did you go?”Lou Huan walked to the side of a low, flat fake stone. Bi Yue cleverly spread out her handkerchief and helped her sit down. Then, she left with her maidservants.
"She's very perceptive. After Yiqiu praised her, she slowly walked to Lou Huan's side, bent over, and said softly," The New Year's Eve banquet has been investigated. The assassin was from the Soul Returning Sect, but the mastermind was the Crown Princess Consort.”
She wasn't surprised to hear Yiqiu say that it was the hands of the Returning Soul Sect. Only the number one assassin organization in the pugilistic world could have such skills and awareness. However, how did the Returning Soul Sect and Yang Xianwan get in touch? She frowned." Tell me more clearly."”
"Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence that the killers that Lou Fu had previously found were also from Soul Returning Sect. However, they were all killed, so the people who were arranged to enter the palace that day were the people hired by the Crown Princess Consort.”
"Wait a minute, Soul Returning Sect is an organization that does things with money. Before Yang Xianwan married, she was just a young lady from a boudoir. After she married, she has been in the deep palace. How can she contact Soul Returning Sect? Even if she asked her family, which family would be willing to spend a lot of money to hire an assassin to kill a little princess for her?”Lou Huan's thoughts were a little chaotic. There were too many mysteries about Yang Xianwan.
"The person who killed Soul Returning Sect is Young Master Mooncrescent of Carefree Villa.”
"Young Master Mooncrescent? I didn't expect that even Carefree Manor was involved. I remember that Qi Mu was also a disciple of Carefree Manor.”The world only knew that the Seventh Prince was the successor of Mo Yuandi, but they did not know that he had a superb martial arts. His master in Carefree Villa was a top secret, and she had seen this from Qi Mu's information in the past." I've met Master Mooncrescent once, but why would such a person help Yang Xianwan and be related to Soul Returning Sect?”
"Since ancient times, heroes have never been able to resist a beauty, let alone the number one beauty of the Qi Dynasty.”
"But isn't Qi Mu with Yang Xianwan?" Lou Huan was surprised and did not react for a moment.
"My lady, it is true that Young Master Mooncrescent has feelings for Yang Xianwan. Yang Xianwan's feelings for our prince are also on the surface. However, whether our prince really treats her as the rumors say remains to be seen.”Yiqiu explained gloomily. Their Miss had always been smart, so why did she become so slow when it came to love?
Hearing Yiqiu's words, Lou Huan felt that something was wrong. She frowned and glanced at Yiqiu." You're not Yiqiu. Who are you?"”
Yiqiu's lips curved into a bright smile. She reached out and took off the human skin mask on her face. Under the mask, her jade face looked beautiful, bright like spring flowers, and elegant and dignified. She knelt on one knee and cupped her fists." Subordinate Ziyi greets Miss."”
Lou Huan was surprised and delighted. She quickly got up to help her up and asked," Why is it you?" Where's Yiqiu?"
"Yiqiu went to Weiyang Restaurant to get some news today. We discussed it and didn't expect the New Year's Eve banquet to happen again, so we got this subordinate to pretend to be Yiqiu and follow Young Lady to prevent any accidents.”
"That's good. With you by my side, the transmission of information will be safer.”Some things had completely exceeded Lou Huan's expectations. The fight for the throne in the royal family was unpredictable and involved a lot of people. The New Year's Eve banquet would probably start soon. In the future, they would have to rely on Weiyang Pavilion for information. If they wanted to avoid Qi Mu's eyes and ears, Ziyi was also indispensable." Ziyi, let them find out where the Soul Returning Sect's lair is. Soul Returning Sect has always been evil. It's time to uproot them."”
"Miss, don't worry. We're already investigating. If they dare to hurt our Weiyang Tower Lord, we must let them know the consequences of offending Weiyang Tower!”
Purple Dress's eyes flashed, and Lou Huan couldn't help but laugh. She stopped smiling and said," We can take it slow. Their foundation is solid, and it won't be easy to uproot them all at once. Right, Qing Qing said that many people wanted to investigate the Four Saint Seals. Ask Qing Qing to take the Four Saint Seals. I will use them in the future.”
"I understand." After Purple Dress agreed, she suddenly put on the mask in her hand and stood quietly beside Lou Huan.
Lou Huan stood up straight at the same time and smiled gently." Why is Fourth Sister-in-law here?”
The person who came was the Fourth Princess Consort, Yao Xiyun. She walked towards them with a graceful and graceful aura." I heard from the people in the residence that you were here, so I came to find you. Huan 'er won't blame me for coming uninvited, right?"”
"How could that be? It's just that Fourth Sister-in-law has already told us to treat Fourth Sister-in-law well. Yiqiu, ask Biyue to prepare some food for us at the Snow Breath Pavilion.”
Purple Dress was about to leave when she was stopped by Yao Xiyun." No need. The spring is just nice today. The garden of the Seventh Prince's Mansion is famous for its beauty and exquisiteness. Let's just walk around like this."”
"Then Huan 'er will accompany Fourth Sister-in-law for a walk. Yiqiu, bring the refreshments to the Flower Shadow Pavilion.”After Lou Huan gave her instructions, she smiled at Yao Xiyun and said," The Flower Shadow Pavilion is not far from here. If you're tired, you can go and rest."”
"Huan 'er is really thoughtful. Today, my lord entered the palace. I was bored staying alone in the wang fu. I remembered that I haven't come to visit you after you recovered, so I came.”
When Yao Xiyun mentioned this, Lou Huan remembered that she still owed Lord Four a favor, so she said," It was all thanks to Lord Four's help that night that Huan 'er was able to survive. I haven't even personally come to thank you, but I've made Fourth Sister-in-law make another trip."”
"That's also your fortune. The Rong Pin that Imperial Father conferred on her isn't so blessed.”Yao Xiyun patted her hand and said gently.
"Yes, I heard that he took a knife for Imperial Father. He has some loyalty.”
Lou Huan's words attracted Yao Xiyun's cold ridicule." Do you really think that woman has such backbone? Although it was chaotic that night, I saw it clearly. That woman was just a scapegoat that Imperial Father pulled in a moment of desperation. How could this heavenly grace be so easy to bear?”
"I see." Lou Huan replied indifferently. Regardless of whether it was a desperate act or a vengeful soul under the knife, this was the royal family. It was even more selfish than Jianghu. No wonder people often said that Jianghu was carefree.
After chatting with Yao Xiyun for a while, they arrived at the Flower Shadow Pavilion. Biyue was already waiting in the pavilion, and the fruits and refreshments were already prepared.
"Yiqiu, go to Shuyao Pavilion and invite the princess. Fourth sister-in-law is here today, so let her join in the fun.”
"I almost forgot, Yue He is also in the residence.”Yao Xiyun took a sip of tea and smiled." Huan 'er said that she needed to prepare. Everything in the Seventh Prince's Mansion is good and coincidental. No wonder even Yuehe wanted to move in for a short stay."”
"Fourth sister-in-law, you flatter me." Lou Huan said modestly, but she agreed with him in her heart. Qi Mu loved to enjoy life, and everything in the mansion was of the best quality. This was all thanks to Empress Zhao. In order to prove that she had not mistreated the legitimate sons she had left behind, and with the idea of letting Qi Mu lose his ambition, she sent all the good things here. Over time, the Seventh Prince's Mansion became the richest Prince's Mansion.
"Huan 'er, don't be too modest. Who doesn't know that our seventh master knows how to enjoy himself the most?”
Lou Huan smiled and did not answer. She just casually changed the topic. After chatting for a while, she saw Yue He appear in a graceful manner.
"Fourth sister-in-law, seventh sister-in-law." The moment Yue He arrived, she called out sweetly," Fourth sister-in-law, why are you here today?”
"I have nothing to do, so I came to chat with Huan 'er.”Yao Xiyun stood up and pulled Yue He up. She looked her up and down and said," Our princess has become more and more beautiful. I think the two beauties of the world are going to become the four beauties of the world."”
Yao Xiyun's words might have been unintentional, but Lou Huan could hear a different meaning in them. She picked up her teacup and covered the lower half of her face with her wide sleeves. She smiled. This talented woman was really thoughtful.
"Third sister-in-law's beauty is known to the world. Yuehe doesn't dare to compare. Speaking of the two great beauties of the world, isn't the other beauty coming in a few days?”
"Isn't that so? I heard that Princess Shao Ying is not only a natural beauty, but her talent doesn't lose out to any man, thus she is highly respected in Southern Cloud.”
"Hearing Fourth Sister-in-law say this, Huan 'er really wants to see it with her own eyes.”
"It is only a matter of time before I see her. However, my lord said that Nanyun probably has other intentions in coming this time.”
"In short, no matter what they do, we will deal with them as they come. We must not lose the demeanor of the Celestial Empire.”Yue He said firmly. As a woman, now that her mother was imprisoned, she was completely dependent on her father. If she could make a contribution at this banquet, it would also increase her bargaining chip. In the future, she would not be manipulated by Empress Zhao.
"What Yuehe said is right. Now, Yuehe has finally grown up. Her behavior and handling of things have finally had the demeanor of a princess of the Tian family.”Yao Xiyun said gratefully.
Lou Huan looked on coldly. Although she had a smile on her face, her heart was cold. After experiencing her aunt's incident, Yuehe's temperament had changed a lot. She was less willful and free.
After chatting for a long time, Yao Xiyun also stood up to say goodbye. Lou Huan exchanged a few pleasantries with her and asked Biyue to send her out of the mansion.
Lou Huan and Yue He linked arms as they walked.
"Seventh sister-in-law, you have to be careful of fourth sister-in-law. She's not someone easy to deal with.”
"Why do you say that?" Lou Huan was a little confused by Yue He's words. Why was Yue He so afraid of her?
"I don't know, but I've heard people say that her title as the number one talented woman is a little strange. It's not like the rumors that she married Fourth Brother, that they were a match made in heaven. In short, Seventh Sister-in-law, you should always be careful.”
"I understand. Yuehe, you should be careful too. Don't blindly meddle in Nanyun's matters. No matter what happens, your brothers will take care of it. Seventh sister-in-law knows what you're worried about. Don't worry, since auntie has entrusted you to me, I definitely won't let anyone bully you.”Lou Huan said earnestly. The reason why Yue He was so eager to perform was self-evident, but she could not let her take the wrong path. On the contrary, it would give others an opportunity to take advantage of her. Although she did not have the protection of Consort Shu, the Emperor still pitied her.
"I know what I'm doing. I won't be muddle-headed.”When they reached the entrance of Shuyao Pavilion, Yue He turned around and hugged Lou Huan." Thank you, Seventh Aunt."”
"Alright, go back and rest." He patted Yue He's back and left after saying goodbye.
When he returned to the Snow Breath Pavilion, he saw that the sun was warm. He asked someone to move the chaise lounge to the courtyard. He leaned lazily on the chaise lounge and took a book of the Book of Songs to read. As he flipped through it, his eyelids became heavier and he fell asleep unknowingly.
When Qi Mu returned to the Snow Breath Pavilion, he saw a picture of a beauty sleeping in spring. The sunset had dyed half the garden red, and her snow-white skin was glittering. It really fulfilled the phrase 'beauty reflecting the flowing rosy clouds'. Her long black hair was tied up at one side, blurring her originally exquisite facial features and gradually becoming hazy.
Holding his steps, he approached her gently. This was his wife. She was elegant and had a peerless beauty that could not be tired of looking at her. He was lost in thought. Unknowingly, they had been together for a long time. It was as if she had always been quiet and peaceful, intelligent and intelligent. She was faint, but she could always make people miss her. He thought of Luo's joke today. Seventh Brother, why is the flirtatious prince more and more homesick these days?
He reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear. When his fingertips touched her snow-white skin, he felt a hint of excitement.
Lou Huan seemed to have sensed something as she woke up in a daze. She rubbed her eyes and said lazily," You're back?"”
"Yes, did I wake you up?"
"I fell asleep just like that?" Lou Huan reached out to look for the book, but she couldn't find it for a long time. She looked up and saw that the Book of Songs was in Qi Mu's hands.
"Green and purple, my heart is long. Even if I don't go, how can you not inherit the throne? Green jade pendant, long I miss. Even if I don't go, Zi Ning won't come! Open and open, in the city gate. A day apart feels like three months!" Qi Mu read it out as if it was a serious matter. Then, he looked at Lou Huan teasingly and said," Huan 'er misses Mu so much?”
"No, I just happened to see this article.”With every word Qi Mu read, Lou Huan's face reddened a little. She was anxious to take back the book and hurriedly got up from the chaise lounge. Who knew that the chaise lounge would be unstable and tilt a little. Lou Huan staggered and fell straight into Qi Mu's arms.
"You're still trying to quibble? You're already impatient.”Qi Mu hugged her and teased with a smile on his lips.
"I…"
"Huan 'er, me too. A day without seeing you feels like three months.”
Qi Mu planted a kiss on her forehead and his elegant voice drifted in Lou Huan's ears. It was like the melting snow on the Heavenly Mountain. It was clear and lingering, with a mesmerizing charm.
Lou Huan wasn't sure if he said this out of sincerity or just to coax her, but what Ziyi had said today, that Qi Mu might not really have feelings for Yang Xianwan, was deeply engraved in her heart.
"Your Highness, you don't have to coax Huan 'er like this.”Lou Huan pushed Qi Mu away and took back the book in his hand.
"I'm not lying." Qi Mu said leisurely. To her, he did have such a feeling.
"Then let's trust Your Highness this once.”Lou Huan wasn't a fool and wouldn't argue with him over such a matter. It didn't matter whether it was true or false.
"Fourth sister-in-law came today?"
"Yes, I am. After a while, he left." Lou Huan sat back down on the chaise lounge and said confidently," Father's birthday is coming soon. Has Your Highness prepared the birthday gift?"”
"Huan 'er, do you have any good ideas?" Qi Mu discussed with her with interest.
"It's nothing more than precious treasures and antiques. Naturally, the more expensive and elegant the gift, the better. As for what meaningful birthday gift, naturally, the Empress and the Crown Prince will worry about it.”
Qi Mu stepped forward and pinched Lou Huan's cheek. He said dotingly," Why did I marry such a smart princess consort?"”
