Chapter 123 The Devil’s Sound
After Qiao Wanyan left, Qiao Yihuan covered his face and stared at her flamboyant back.
After Xiaoying came back from dealing with the matters on Fengyu Street, she happened to see her young lady sitting there.
"Miss, why are you here? Everything has been sorted out on Fengyu Street, but we don't have enough food and we don't have any money in our account."
Xiaoying didn't quite understand what the young lady wanted to do. The young lady was kind-hearted and wanted to give out porridge to help the poor, but her own monthly salary was not high.
Now that all the money is gone, what should I do?
Qiao Yihuan's face was gloomy. "If there is no money in the account, then make money yourself. Go get the jewelry that my mother left for me and go out with me."
Xiaoying nodded, "Yes, Miss."
It was a day with a gentle breeze and a clear blue sky. In spring, the breeze is blowing and the flowers are blooming. It is the time when the noble families in the capital hold flower-viewing banquets one after another.
Jin had someone send her a ginger-red twelve-tatter Liuxian long skirt. The gauze was light green, and the ethereal and light color looked like rippling water. When she walked, the skirt fluttered like a dream, not like something from the mortal world, but with a sense of unattainable immortal air.
The two maids showed her the dress, and Qiao Wanyan stood in front of it and liked it very much no matter how she looked at it.
"It looks good. Mother really understands me the best."
She likes gorgeous dresses and jewelry the most. She dresses herself up beautifully and her mood becomes better.
Zi Yuan said, "Miss, tomorrow is the Flower Festival. When you wear the tongcao flowers, you will definitely be the most beautiful girl in the capital."
Qiao Wanyan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, with a sweet dimple on the corner of her mouth, "Ziyuan, what you said is very much to my liking. Everyone in Yongning Pavilion will be rewarded with three months' salary."
When everyone heard this, they all bowed and said, "Thank you Miss Enshang, thank you Miss Ziyuan."
The Shangshu Mansion is such a big place that there are too many servants to count.
Even though everyone knew that the Second Young Miss was an arrogant and domineering person, everyone wanted to work in Yongning Pavilion.
If for no other reason, it's because the second young lady is a very generous person.
If you are in a good mood, I will reward you with real money. If you are in a bad mood...
Just try not to bring bad luck to the Second Young Lady.
"Zi Yuan, there's nothing to do today. Go get someone to prepare the carriage. I'm going to the bookstore."
The calligraphy and painting that was promised to Xu Shujian has not been bought yet. Xu Shujian is just a scholar from a poor family, and he will only be a third place in the imperial examination in the future.
But she was free anyway, so she might as well go out and kill some time.
As it happened, she didn't have much paper left.
At this time, the maid came in and said, "Miss, the Tenth Princess sent a visiting card saying that the Emperor gave her some fresh lychees as a reward and invited the Second Miss to the Princess's Mansion to taste them together."
Qiao Wanyan narrowed her eyes slightly. She and the Tenth Princess had never been close, but she used to be quite close to Qiao Yihuan.
But after the Wanshou Festival, Qiao Yihuan never visited the princess's residence again, and the princess's residence also did not send any visiting invitations.
"Miss, then why don't we go to the bookstore and go to the princess's mansion instead?" Zi Yuan asked.
Qiao Wanyan was silent for a moment, "What's there to taste in broken lychees?"
As she spoke, she glanced at a plate of lychees placed on the Eight Immortals Table not far away. These were sent by her grandfather. They were the earliest batch of lychees this year, sent for her mother and herself to taste.
She has been eating it for several days and is really tired of it.
"Go and tell them I'm busy today."
There is no point in making friends with a queen mother who is not favored and has no favored concubines. It is just a waste of time.
If she had that kind of time, it would be more meaningful for her to read a book, write a few words, or go shopping to buy some rouge and powder than to make friends with a useless princess.
Zi Yuan was smart for once, "Miss, why don't you go."
Qiao Wanyan glanced at her, "Why?"
Zi Yuan said, "Miss, you see, the Tenth Princess used to be good friends with Qiao Yihuan, but they stopped interacting after the Wanshou Festival. Qiao Yihuan is a concubine's daughter who is not worthy of being on the stage, but she is able to be good friends with the princess. Even if the princess is not favored, she is still a person she wants to make friends with."
"If the young lady becomes friends with the tenth princess, Qiao Yihuan will be so angry that she will die."
Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes and thought carefully. After a moment, she asked, "Ziyuan, have you eaten walnuts recently?"
Zi Yuan raised her eyebrows and shook her head, "No!"
Qiao Wanyan smiled without saying anything, and the maids in Yongning Pavilion all lowered their heads and giggled.
Zi Yuan didn't understand, but looking at the group's reactions, she knew that the young lady was teasing her again, and she said coquettishly: "Young lady~"
The luxurious BMW drove out of the mansion and slowly headed towards the princess's residence.
At the gate of the princess's mansion, He Baozhu's personal maid Wei Mo was waiting. When she saw someone coming, she immediately walked down the high steps and waited beside the carriage.
"I, Wei Mo, have met the Second Young Lady. The princess asked me to wait here early in the morning, hoping that the Second Young Lady would come to visit her."
Qiao Wanyan nodded slightly. Although the Tenth Princess was not favored and did not bring any servants with her when she returned to the capital that day, the palace maid in front of her was calm and talkative.
I think the princess's mansion is well-behaved thanks to this palace maid.
Zi Yuan said generously: "Thanks to the princess' kindness, my lady is very honored. Please lead the way, sister Wei Mo."
Wei Mo nodded, "Second Miss, please."
This was Qiao Wanyan's first time in the princess's mansion. She couldn't help but feel that it was understandable that this princess's mansion could not compare to the Eastern Palace. However, this simple and elegant mansion was not even as luxurious as her own home.
Tsk, so shabby.
Liu Yanran was planning to take a walk in the garden. As a modern person, she had no mobile phone or computer, and no entertainment activities to pass the time.
Now that she is in the most prosperous capital city of Dayu, and she heard that tomorrow is the Flower Festival, she really wants to go out and take a look at how lively this ancient Flower Festival is.
But.......
She didn't dare.
She was afraid that she would be captured by Qiao Wanyan if she left the princess's mansion, so she didn't dare to go out and hid here.
But why could she still see Qiao Wanyan even though she was hiding in the princess's mansion?
She wouldn't be so bold as to capture me in the princess's mansion, right? !
As long as we can hold on for a few days, as long as we can hold on...
Liu Yanran was about to turn around and leave the moment she saw Qiao Wanyan, but was stopped by Wei Mo.
"Miss Liu."
Liu Yanran stopped.
Wei Mo said, "Where are you going in such a hurry, Miss Liu? This is the second daughter of the Minister of Revenue's residence. Miss Liu should recognize her. She is the younger sister of your best friend, Miss Qiao."
Qiao Wanyan looked at her back and smiled softly, "Sister Yanran, long time no see."
Liu Yanran hadn't turned around to look at her yet, but her brain was buzzing and goose bumps appeared all over her body almost instantly.
Magic sound, it’s absolutely magic sound!
