Chapter 505: Riding a Tiger
"It's okay, let them follow and see what they want to do." Xiao Jiuyue walked along the path in the palace. The palace was too big, which also had a disadvantage. It took a long way to go anywhere.
"We're here at Chengxiang Garden. You can change clothes here." Chunmei led Xiao Jiuyue to the nearest changing room.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Chunmei." Xiao Jiuyue looked around the small garden. The small garden was particularly elegant. After sending Chunmei away, she said, "Lianxin, there's no need to take your clothes. We came here to rest anyway."
"Just change into an outer shirt." Xiao Jiuyue was too lazy to change his inner clothes. Layer upon layer of clothes almost wrapped him up like pork belly. If he changed again, wouldn't he be sweating all over?
"What kind of flower is this? Let's ask Uncle Ai to plant some when we get back." Xiao Jiuyue said as she looked at the small flowers in the corner. Uncle Ai was very good at growing flowers. The Yao Huang and Wei Zi flowers that were almost wilted before are now blooming beautifully under Uncle Ai's care. She looks forward to seeing them bloom next spring, which will surely be another beautiful sight.
"Yes." Lian Xin changed Xiao Jiuyue's coat and said worriedly, "Miss, Dong Gui has been out for a long time and hasn't come back yet. Could she be lost?"
"No." Xiao Jiuyue sipped the tea that Chunmei had just brought her, holding the date paste pastry in her pocket, not worried at all.
Donggui is very familiar with the palace. Even if some villains want to harm her, it depends on whether she has the ability to do so.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Jiuyue planned to take a nap by the window. The warm sun made him feel drowsy and sleepy.
Xiao Jiuyue had just closed her eyes for a moment when she heard Dong Gui come back: "Miss, Miss Feng and Miss Du wanted to take advantage of you changing clothes to dirty them and leave you with nothing to change into."
"That's it?" Xiao Jiuyue thought something was wrong.
"That's what Miss Feng thinks, but Miss Du seems to be making some small moves." Dong Gui paused and said quickly, "Miss Du asked her maid to go to the Bishui Lake next door to find a young man."
"Looking for the young master?" Xiao Jiuyue said thoughtfully, "Du Ting and I don't have a mortal enemy, right?"
Could it be that Du Ting was venting his anger on Feng Yan?
impossible.
Xiao Jiuyue shook her head. She and Du Ting did like to compete with each other in the past. No, to be precise, it was Du Ting who liked to compete with her.
Du Ting is two years younger than her, but as the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, Du Ting does not want to be suppressed by her at all. However, the two of them should not have a mortal feud.
There is no need for Du Ting to take the risk of harming her?
"Since Feng Yan wants to dirty my clothes, I'll dirty hers first." Xiao Jiuyue is not a soft-hearted person. If others want to embarrass her, how could she not give them a taste of their own medicine?
Xiao Jiuyue only changed into one outer shirt, and the rest of her clothes were the spare clothes that she asked Donggui to find for Feng Yan and stuffed underneath.
Xiao Jiuyue took Donggui and Lianxin away, waiting for Feng Yan to take the bait. If Feng Yan really dared to pour something into her clothes and dirty them, she would have to suffer the consequences.
Lianxin swallowed her saliva and didn't even dare to breathe.
"This, this will really just make my clothes dirty?" Feng Yan felt uneasy as he held the powder.
"Of course, once this powder is sprinkled, it will give off a foul smell when it comes into contact with water." Du Ting looked at Feng Yan with a smile and urged, "Sister Yan, I'm doing this to vent my anger for you. Just think about it, if she has no clothes to change into, and a maid gets her dress wet, how rude would that be when she meets the Queen Mother?"
"If you let Xiao Jiuyue lose face once, then your revenge will be avenged, won't it?" Du Ting looked at Feng Yan with a smile. Seeing her hesitation, he sighed and said, "Forget it. How about selling the bracelet for two hundred taels? Anyway, we don't need such a small amount of silver."
Two hundred taels of silver!
When Feng Yan heard about the bracelet and thought of the two hundred taels of silver that had been cheated, she immediately asked the maid to go over. She reminded her, "Be careful, don't let anyone find out."
"Yes." The maid was cautious and immediately went towards Chengxiang Garden where Xiao Jiuyue had just entered, like a thief.
In the dark, Xiao Jiuyue watched this scene and did not stop it. She saw the maid sprinkle powder on the clothes. Maybe it was the first time she did this, and the maid was very nervous.
If Xiao Jiuyue hadn't deliberately let him go, I'm afraid he would have been caught red-handed.
"Miss, is this some kind of medicinal powder?" Donggui is not as knowledgeable as Huaqing in pharmacology, and can only feel that this medicinal powder is unusual.
Xiao Jiuyue walked forward and touched the medicine powder.
Dong Gui hurriedly reminded: "Is it poisonous?"
"It's okay." Xiao Jiuyue shook her head, put it under her nose and sniffed it, then immediately walked to the window and said, "This, this is not some powder that stains clothes, but a love potion."
"What?" Dong Gui heard this, and combined with the news that Du Ting had just found someone from the young master, she was almost certain that Du Ting and Feng Yan were planning to destroy her.
"It seems like this palace really is... killing people without spilling any blood." Xiao Jiuyue clapped her hands, wiped them in disgust, and said, "Let them suffer the consequences."
Xiao Jiuyue didn't plan to stay for long, and didn't even want her clothes. She led Lianxin away and reminded her, "Donggui, be careful."
"Don't worry." Dong Gui looked at the clothes and put them back to Feng Yan without anyone noticing. At the same time, she soiled Feng Yan's clothes. Feng Yan found a place to change clothes.
Not long after, Dong Gui came back and said, "Miss, I saw Feng Yan wearing the powdered clothes with my own eyes."
"Yeah." Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly. Halfway through, she met Du Ting, who enthusiastically found clothes for her.
Xiao Jiuyue didn't even have the chance to refuse. She decided to go all out and led Du Ting to where Feng Yan was.
Xiao Jiuyue took the opportunity to escape while changing clothes.
"Sister Du, why do I feel so hot?" Feng Yan felt particularly hot all over in the cold winter.
Du Ting understood immediately when she saw the situation. Thinking of Prince Wang who was about to arrive, she said anxiously, "Feng Yan, it smells a bit musty here. Should we leave first?"
Du Ting pulled Feng Yan to leave, but Feng Yan shook her head and said, "No, I won't leave until I see Xiao Jiuyue make a fool of herself."
"Sister Du, what's wrong with you? Why are you leaving in such a hurry all of a sudden?" Feng Yan looked at Du Ting in confusion.
Du Ting's expression changed, and she said, "Sister Yan, I think we should leave quickly."
Du Ting said nothing more and just pulled Feng Yan to leave. Unexpectedly, Master Wang walked in. When he saw Du Ting and Feng Yan, Master Wang looked particularly happy. His eyes lit up and he saluted, saying, "Miss Du, Miss Feng."
"Young Master Wang, shouldn't you be at the Bishui Lake? This is the backyard." Du Ting retreated with a cold face. When he challenged Young Master Wang, he knew that he was extremely audacious. Now, he was in a difficult situation.
