Chapter 415: Men dress to please themselves
This day is Chen Zishan’s birthday party.
The important thing is that he is the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Although every household is very busy as the ceremony is approaching, some people still went to the banquet.
But this did not include Qiao Wanyan, so Shen Lingyi also brought the precious double phoenix hairpin from Huibao Tower.
The Guo family was also on the invitation list, but Guo Licheng did not follow her mother. Instead, she went to the Shangshu Mansion instead. As she passed by the Shangshu Mansion on the way, she accidentally saw Qiao Jibai.
"Mr. Qiao?"
Guo Licheng quickened his pace and caught up with him at the junction of the study and Yongning Pavilion.
Qiao Jibai just looked back and nodded slightly as a greeting, and didn't intend to say anything more.
Guo Licheng looked at his back, with disappointment in her eyes.
She stood there for a long time, and when she was on her way to Yongning Pavilion, she heard the maid say that the second young lady had gone out early in the morning and had not returned yet, and she didn't know when she would be back.
On the other side, Qiao Wanyan went to Huibao Tower early in the morning, bought a jade pendant, and headed towards the back door of Prince Jing's Mansion.
Huibao Tower is located in one of the most prosperous areas of the capital, so the carriage moved very slowly.
"The lantern hanging on the carriage, that must be the carriage of the Minister of Revenue's Mansion, right? Could the person sitting inside be Miss Qiao?"
"I heard that the second young lady of the Qiao family is the most noble lady in the capital. Her talent and appearance are both the best in the whole country. I don't know what she looks like!"
"I finally came to the capital. If I could see what this most beautiful woman looks like, it would satisfy my curiosity for many years."
Qiao Wanyan rested her head with one hand and closed her eyes. "Go take down the lantern."
Zi Yuan nodded slightly, opened the door a little, reached out and took down the lantern.
Suddenly, the window of the carriage was forced open from the outside.
The sunlight shone through the window onto the profile of the person in the car. The young man who opened the window without permission was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to recover.
When the window was opened, many people outside saw it.
The crowd, which had been noisy just now, suddenly fell silent.
Qiao Wanyan got up early today and did not waste time dressing up. She wore a snow-white gauze dress and had a plain face except for a little cinnabar on her forehead.
But it is like a finishing touch, clear and cold, with countless divinity.
It’s obviously not far away, but it makes people feel that the distance is infinitely long.
Zi Yuan immediately closed the window, and the young man finally came to his senses, "I am sorry for offending you, young lady. Please forgive me."
Qiao Wanyan's clear voice rang out from the carriage, "It's okay, but don't act so rashly next time, so as not to scare others."
The young man's face turned red, and the initial teasing in his heart now turned into guilt.
This second young lady was born like a goddess, and her heart was as gentle and compassionate as a goddess.
It's his fault, damn him!
The carriage gradually went away, and the young man did not look away until he could no longer see the carriage.
The long street was crowded. When the man passed through an alley, someone suddenly grabbed his collar from behind and dragged him away.
Just as he stopped and hadn't recovered yet, the man was kicked in the face with a fatal kick. Suddenly, a very loud sound rang out from the alley.
The sound was so loud that everyone on the long street heard it.
It was obvious that the noise from the long street had become much quieter, and then it became noisy again.
Lu Jinye kicked him once and then again, and this time he was completely ruined.
The man didn't even see his face, he covered his lower body and cried out.
When curious people came into the alley, they saw a tall figure disappearing around the corner at the end, and then they saw a man struggling on the ground with a distorted face.
There were obviously fewer people on the way to Prince Jing's Mansion.
Lu Jinye followed, "It's solved."
Qiao Wanyan's tone was calm and emotionless, as if she was just asking about an insignificant matter.
"Dead?"
Lu Jinye thought for a moment and said, "He was not killed, but half dead."
Qiao Wanyan said nothing more. Every year when the grand ceremony was approaching, she didn't want to go out because there was a risk of meeting these unruly and lowly people.
There was a knock at the back door of the palace, and the servant ran to the study to present the gift.
"Your Majesty, the second young lady is here and is waiting at the back door."
He Yanli was a little surprised. She never went out when a grand ceremony was approaching. Why would she come to the palace at this time?
Mo Xiao looked at his own prince who was obviously in a good mood and said, "Why are you still standing there? The prince asked you to bring the second young lady here quickly."
The servant was stunned for a moment. The prince opened his mouth?
He Yanli looked at him, "When did the king tell her to come in?"
Mo Xiao smiled awkwardly, "Maybe I heard it wrong. Since the prince doesn't want the second young lady to come in, then I will go and tell the second young lady that the prince is not available right now."
He Yanli retracted his gaze and looked at the letter in his hand. "It's so hot but you didn't let her in. Are you expecting her to burn down my palace in the future?"
Mo Xiao's innermost thoughts and the man's heart are as deep as the sea, so let him tell it all!
"Yes, I will personally go and invite the Second Young Lady in."
He Yanli didn't say anything else. He looked at the letter in his hand seriously, looking very serious and busy.
Mo Xiao personally went to the side door and said, "Second Miss, the prince said that it was so hot outside, and the servants in the mansion didn't know the rules and should have let you in directly. They actually asked you to wait and pass on the message. They really don't know the rules. Second Miss, don't worry, the prince has punished the ignorant servant."
Lu Jinye looked down on him, "He was just talking a bunch of nonsense."
Mo Xiao glared at him, but didn't reveal his secret weapon because Qiao Wanyan was there.
Qiao Wanyan took the sandalwood box from Ziyuan and handed it to him, "This is the jade pendant I have always treasured. It was blessed by the monks who are temporarily staying in the mansion to ensure safety. The prince always hates me in his heart, so I won't go in to bother the prince. You can pass it on for me."
Mo Xiao was stunned for a moment and wanted to return the box to her, but she showed no intention of taking it.
"I heard that the prince is going to Zhenyang Pass. It's thousands of miles away. I hope he can come back safely."
Mo Xiao: "Second Miss, you should go and give it to the prince in person."
Qiao Wanyan hates hearing the same words said twice: "I told you to forward it, are you deaf......"
Mo Xiao interrupted immediately: "I understand. I will send you off right away! The weather is hot, and the Second Miss has made this trip. I respectfully send you off."
Qiao Wanyan swallowed back the curse she was about to say. Looking at Mo Xiao's smiling face, the curse she wanted to say was blocked for the first time in her life.
Mo Xiao laughed wildly in his heart. As long as he spoke sweetly fast enough, the scolding would not be able to catch up with him!
If he had known that the second young lady would fall for this, he should have realized it earlier, otherwise he would not have been scolded for so many years!
When Mo Xiao returned to the study, he froze in place, staring at his own prince in amazement.
No.....he had only been gone for half a cup of tea, when did the prince change his clothes?
