I just don't know if this contraceptive soup will still be useful if I take it after a few days.
Even if it's useless, it has to be eaten, so he must not dirty his son's backyard.
Before the legal wife came in, the husband had a concubine's eldest son, and would be laughed at by all the noble families. If it got out, her reputation would be tarnished. Her fingers kept clenching the handkerchief, and she suddenly felt her migraine coming back.
Honglian stood beside the old lady, and when she saw that she started to look unhappy again, she felt happy.
At the beginning, when the prince drove her out of the inner courtyard, she knew that it must be Xu Zhiyi's fault. Her mind was full of wanting to know what Xu Zhiyi looked like and how she could make the prince so obsessed with her.
When I saw her today, I found that she really had an apricot face and peach cheeks, and eyes like peaches and plums.
Because she was bought by the old lady, the prince handed her over to the old lady for handling. Seeing that she was so disappointing and Xu Zhiyi had completed the task, the old lady wanted to send her back to Zui Xiang Lou.
But Honglian saw the old lady covering her head and pressing her temples, so she asked:
"Old Madam, I have learned some tricks in the past. Could you let me try them? Perhaps they can help you get rid of your headache?"
After hearing this, the Marquis' wife waved her hand. This headache was an old problem she had because she didn't sit well during her confinement. She had tried everything over the years, but nothing worked. She could only endure it, and when the pain came she wanted to bang her head against the wall.
She didn't believe that a little girl like Honglian could cure her.
Nanny Yu poured the old lady a cup of hot tea and said:
"It will just take up some time. If it doesn't work, just send her away."
Unexpectedly, Honglian first took out a small bottle of something, rubbed it on her hands, and then began to massage her. After a while, the headache was relieved.
What a joke! Before she traveled through time, she was serving rich people. Not to mention massage, she was also proficient in playing the piano, tasting tea, and dancing.
With the old lady's permission, I stayed in the main courtyard for a few days.
Seeing the old lady's unhappy expression today, he felt that his chance to stand out had come. If he could embarrass Xu Zhiyi, he would naturally be able to win the old lady's favor even further.
Although Lu Yanli had been in the military camp for a long time, he could still guess the intentions of some of his mother's actions. For example, the chrysanthemum viewing banquet held today was actually her way of looking for a suitable woman.
So he took Xu Zhiyi with him without thinking much.
Su Yajing saw that Xu Zhiyi's eyes were also rolling around. Originally, she just wanted a concubine, so she asked someone to bring her piano.
Then he whispered to the old lady:
"Aunt, can I ask my cousin to help me play the flute while I play the piano later?"
When the old lady saw her niece blushing, she knew that she must have fallen in love with the prince.
Su Yajing is a good match for him, and they are related relatives, so she is happy to help bring them together.
Honglian was watching from behind and was amazed. With such a close relationship, they were not afraid of giving birth to a fool.
How can she compare to a modern woman? Ancient people were really pedantic.
But the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now that they have the same goal, they must not fight among themselves.
Seeing that there were so many women around, Lu Yanli wanted to leave Xu Zhiyi here and go to the group of men.
Before he could open his mouth, his old mother, with a look of dismay, spoke:
"Yan'er, don't leave yet. Let's play a song together later with your cousin. You play the flute and she plays the piano."
In front of so many people, Lu Yanli couldn't afford to offend his mother, so he said:
"I haven't practiced in years, and I'm going to be a burden to my cousin. Why don't I just watch today and not embarrass myself?"
Anyway, he was worried about leaving Xu Zhiyi here alone, so he might as well stay here with her for a while.
So she sat down with her. When the old lady saw Xu Zhiyi sitting down, she was speechless.
But Yan'er gave her face, so she also had to give Yan'er face.
Honglian was even more indignant. She was still standing. Forget it, sooner or later she would have to sit down.
The piano was picked up very quickly and delivered in a short while.
Su Yajing held the piano in her hand and slowly walked to the platform in the center.
Although it was a pity that her cousin could not accompany her, she was most proud of her piano skills. If her cousin could appreciate her because of this, it would be a good thing.
After a while, Su Yajing's delicate hands plucked the strings of the zither, producing a melodious and beautiful melody. The tune flowed smoothly and gradually became mournful and plaintive.
Xu Zhiyi was listening below and felt that this young lady seemed to have reached the age where she had to force herself to express her sorrow in order to compose new poems.
The other ladies all showed astonishment. This kind of tune was popular in the city now, but this was the first time they heard it.
Lu Yanli frowned when he heard the lewd music. He didn't like such lingering and petty voices.
After the song was over, Su Yajing walked to her seat again, swaying step by step.
While stealing a glance at the expression on Lu Yanli's face, he casually said something to his aunt:
"Why don't you ask the lady next to my cousin to play a song as well?"
She was quite confident in her piano skills. A concubine could only learn the basics at most and it was impossible for her to learn more than her.
Lu Yanli was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and after hearing this, he shook Xu Zhiyi's hand.
Xu Zhiyi originally wanted to be a vase today, but she didn't expect that someone would notice her.
The old lady nodded, knowing her intention:
"You should play a song too."
Lu Yanli looked at her questioningly.
Then I heard Xu Zhiyi say in a crisp voice:
"Okay, then I'll show off my ugliness."
He went on stage without hesitation.
Xu Zhiyi raised his jade-like fingers and stroked the strings.
After a while, the ethereal and pleasant piano music slowly flowed out, as if slowly telling her story. After a while, the style of painting changed, and it began to move forward with unstoppable force.
The piano tune is domineering and resounds in everyone's heart.
Lu Yanli couldn't help but show appreciation in his eyes. Even the young man who was talking loudly next door was attracted by the sound of the piano.
They came over one after another, closed their eyes and began to listen.
An old woman sitting at the head of the table felt that the woman on the stage looked familiar.
Su Yajing's hand holding the teacup began to tremble slightly. She originally wanted to embarrass Xu Zhiyi, but now it seemed like she was giving her face.
My face was bleeding with shame.
Soon, the song ended and everyone showed regret.
Lu Yanli couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He didn't know that this woman was hiding something so deeply.
And such amazing piano skills.
This is his woman, and a sense of pride arises spontaneously. Seeing the young men around coveting her, he glares at her and tells her to come down quickly.
Xu Zhiyi glared at her for some reason, but also walked down quickly.
The old lady looked displeased that her niece was outshined by a concubine.
I inexplicably felt a little unhappy towards Su Jingya.
Only Honglian's expression changed drastically. This song seemed to be from later generations, but she couldn't remember it clearly.
Could it be that she also traveled through time?
She stood between the old lady and Su Yajing, only one Lu Yanli away from Xu Zhiyi's seat.
As soon as Xu Zhiyi sat down, she poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying:
“Odds change, evens remain the same.”
Her eyes were fixed on Xu Zhiyi without blinking, not missing any of her expressions.
