Chapter 481: Fancy Clothes and Furious Horses
"Miss, the Third Prince's team will happen to be walking along the street downstairs. You can be sure to see the Third Prince clearly from upstairs." Dong Gui specifically found out the route of the team that the master and the Yongzhao envoy would take back to the palace.
Finally, Donggui decided to set the location on the second floor of Zhiyun Tower, from where the master and his team could be seen clearly.
"Princess Yongzhao's carriage has gauze curtains hanging on all sides, right?"
Xiao Jiuyue was sitting on the quiet second floor, where she usually placed finished clothes and the like. Now she placed a table by the window, brewed a pot of scented tea, and put some exquisite snacks on it. She looked at the road downstairs that had been cleared by the officers and soldiers, and waited for Princess Yongru to come.
"Yes." Dong Gui nodded, and said with an expression that said, "Miss, take your time to read it."
After she finished speaking, Donggui went outside to find out the news. She thought: The eldest lady is shy. She was obviously going to see the master, but she insisted on saying that she was going to see the princess.
"Miss, tell me, is the Princess of Yongzhao pretty?" Luo Kui stretched her neck and asked, "When will the team arrive?"
"Be careful not to fall down the stairs." Xiao Jiuyue reminded him. Seeing that most of Luo Kui's body was leaning out, if he didn't hold on tightly, he would fall down the stairs.
Downstairs, there were people watching the fun.
"Don't worry, young lady." Luo Kui stretched his neck to the sky and said, "I haven't even seen the shadow of the team yet. It will probably take some time. But there are really a lot of people, so dark that I can only see their heads."
"Shengjing hasn't been this lively for quite some time." Lian Xin said with a smile, "The young lady wasn't here during the Qiqiao Festival, but I heard there were a lot of people there that day, and the Qiqiao box lanterns were also particularly spectacular."
"Box lanterns? The ones that burn layer by layer?" Xiao Jiuyue had the impression that they existed and were very beautiful, but she had never seen them with her own eyes.
"Yes, yes, that's the box lantern." Lian Xin nodded repeatedly and said, "I still remember the box lantern I saw during the Lantern Festival three years ago..."
Lianxin paused before she finished her words. Luokui, who was listening at the side, added with great interest, "Yes, that year's box lantern had five layers, and each layer was very beautiful, and..."
Lianxin pushed Luokui and winked at her, but Luokui didn't understand. She said, "Lianxin, if I remember correctly, it's the fifth floor. We also went to Ruqin Lake to release lanterns. By the way, the world..." The son also fell into the lake.
After hearing the following words, Luo Kui's eyes rolled and he immediately laughed it off, trying to fool the person.
Xiao Jiuyue didn't hear the rest clearly, but looking at Luo Kui's guilty expression, she guessed it must be Song Mingyuan. She asked, "The Song family didn't divorce or divorce my wife, right?"
"No, the Song family has been very busy recently. If it weren't for the fact that the Third Prince was going back to the capital with the Yongzhao Army, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to finish telling this story even if I spent three days and three nights."
Luo Kui became excited again when she brought up the topic, saying, "Rumor has it that it was because Song Mingyuan wouldn't touch Mu Yinqiu that Mu Yinqiu, the Crown Prince's wife, couldn't have children."
The burning of the pleasure boat during the Qiqiao Festival was transformed, under Mu Yinqiu's manipulation, from jealousy to consideration for the future of the Marquis' Mansion. After all, the prince had always favored that concubine, but she couldn't even lay an egg, so Mu Yinqiu's actions were also helpless.
In the end, Mu Yinqiu allowed Song Mingyuan to take in four concubines in one day. Mu Yinqiu also pleased several elders of the Song family, and soon, she gained a firm foothold in the Song family.
"Well, there are no rumors about Song Mingyuan liking men?" Xiao Jiuyue asked curiously. Many people saw the news that Song Mingyuan had an affair with the servant that day.
"Yes, but no one dares to speak out. The Yongchang Marquis' Mansion arrested a few people who were passing on the message, so everyone can only guess." Luo Kui said with some doubt: "I think Mu Yinqiu is quite powerful. Why did he have such a frustrating life in the Song Mansion before?"
"Because I care." Xiao Jiuyue knew very well that Mu Yinqiu was jealous and did things without thinking because she cared about him. Moreover, because her mother-in-law was partial to her son, Mu Yinqiu didn't want to please her even more.
Now, Mu Yinqiu no longer cares about Song Mingyuan. She only wants revenge and the Marquis' Mansion, so naturally she does it well.
"Ah? The more you care, the better you will do, right?" Luo Kui didn't understand.
Lianxin seemed to be lost in thought. Luokui couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up thinking and said, "Miss, it's good that Miss Song married. I went to the Hao family that day and saw that Miss Song is living a very comfortable life now."
Her husband treats her well, and she gets along well with her sister-in-law from her husband's family. Looking at the courtyard where Song Yu lives, one can feel that she is living a good life in the Hao Mansion.
"Well, it's pretty good." Xiao Jiuyue said in agreement. Song Yu's eyes were full of happiness. She was as cheerful as ever, just like she was before she got married. If it weren't for Hao Jingfeng's careful care, Song Yu would not be what she is now.
"Here I am." Dong Gui heard the news and immediately rushed back to the second floor and said.
Luo Kui stood up and immediately leaned half of her body out of the window. Seeing the team approaching from afar, Luo Kui said excitedly, "Miss, they're here. The one at the front should be the Third Prince, right?"
"No, I heard that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince went to pick them up together." Lianxin shook her head. She tried to stand on tiptoe, but they were too far away. For a moment, she didn't know where to look.
"The three in the front should be the three princes." Xiao Jiuyue took a look and her eyes fell on Jun Lie who was wearing cotton armor. The prince was obviously walking in the middle, and next to him was the very noble second prince, but Xiao Jiuyue still recognized him at a glance.
"The one on the right, is that the Third Prince?" Luo Kui was far away and didn't seem to recognize him.
Lian Xin said uncertainly, "It's too far away to see clearly."
As the people cheered one after another, Luo Kui said as they got closer, "It's the one wearing cotton armor."
“So majestic!”
After Lianxin finished speaking, she secretly looked at Xiao Jiuyue. Xiao Jiuyue had a faint smile on his lips, and the emotion in his eyes was the same as usual, nothing special.
"Miss, the appearance of the Three Emperors is the most beautiful." Donggui looked at the convoy that was getting closer and closer downstairs with admiration.
"Donggui, you are with Hua Qing now, and you have learned everything from her." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled, her eyes fixed on Jun Lie who was getting closer and closer. Jun Lie was wearing cotton armor, which made his cold facial features look even sharper.
The three princes were all good-looking, but Jun Lie had the most beautiful eyes and eyebrows. He was a young man dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, full of vigor and ambition. His appearance and temperament completely met her aesthetic standards.
A hint of regret flashed in Xiao Jiuyue's eyes. If only he were not a prince.
"I don't know who will marry the third prince in the future. They will be so lucky." Lianxin walked to Xiao Jiuyue's side and said with emotion.
