Chapter 7: Disguise and Lure the Enemy into a Trap
When they arrived at Huanyi Pavilion, Lu Qiaoxiao waved her hand and Bai Zhi placed a bag full of silver in front of the shopkeeper.
"Give my young lady the most fashionable items! We're not short of money!"
Soon, several gorgeous and exquisite-looking clothes were displayed one by one.
"Give me a set of them all!" Lu Qiaoxiao was too lazy to look or try.
Anyway, it was the Lu family's money that was spent, and it was done by people from the Lu family.
Yunxi Cat, in disguise, stood in the corner of the store entrance, muttering to himself for a while, wondering what a big deal this must be to deserve the young lady's attention.
The eldest lady usually doesn't care much about her appearance. She doesn't care about pearl hairpins, jewelry, or clothes with intricate details.
Of course, even without makeup, her young lady is still as beautiful as a fairy.
"Baizhi, I think this pink one is nice, it's most suitable for a spring banquet." Lu Qiaoxiao pointed casually, his eyes rolling around.
"But if I'm going to worship Buddha, these pieces are a bit too eye-catching. I'd rather pick something plain and elegant."
"Boss, if it's custom-made, can it be made before the eighth day of next month?"
The shopkeeper was so happy that he nodded rapidly, "Don't worry, Miss! I guarantee it!" He thought to himself, who said that the daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's family was not good? In his opinion, she was obviously very good and she was so generous.
Last time, the second son of the Pei family brought a girl to pick out clothes. He wanted to buy a fashionable piece from his family, but he hesitated for a long time before deciding.
How can you be worthy of being the legitimate daughter of Yong'an Mansion if you are so stingy?
This is a good and wonderful way to withdraw!
Yunxi was in the dark, with jealousy in her eyes: Humph, the legitimate daughter was still schemed against by the concubine in the end, just wait and see.
But on the eighth day of next month, we will worship Buddha?
The eldest daughter clearly never believed in gods or Buddhas, but she suddenly opened her clairvoyance? She was going to worship Buddha.
"Boss, you must bring out your best embroiderer. If you have any fine hairpins, rings, or jewelry, I'll take them too."
"But it must be before the eighth day of next month. The dress should preferably be azure blue. The pattern and color can refer to the colors of the red walls and sycamore trees of Guanglin Temple. It would be best if they complement each other naturally."
As soon as I came out of Huanyi Pavilion, I ran into a young man in black clothes, with a slightly immature look.
"Hello, Miss Lu." The man looked respectful, but there was a smile between his eyebrows.
"Ah...Ah Yao?" Lu Qiaoxiao thought to himself, it was fate, it had only been a few days and we had already met twice.
"That's great! You remember me, don't you? My eldest lady's brother has just been appointed as a reviewer in the Imperial Academy, and Mr. Lu has attended my master's lectures before."
"My master said that Mr. Lu is intelligent and is willing to give him some pointers on his career so that he can serve the court in the future." A Yao's eyes flashed. This was his own decision after he had figured out the young master's opinion.
Otherwise, why would his master insist on him coming with Miss Lu to pick out some clothes and jewelry from Huanyi Pavilion? There were no women in the master's house, so there was no need for such nonsense.
Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes lit up. "Please thank the Prime Minister for me, little brother. Next time, I will definitely bring my younger brother to visit him and thank him in person."
After saying goodbye to A Yao, Lu Qiaoxiao walked back home, his heart beating very fast.
That’s great! If my younger brother can get Prime Minister Shen’s protection, his future will be much easier.
This proved that her previous guess was correct.
In his previous life, Shen Yuheng went to Qingxiu Mountain to pay tribute to her because he felt pity for the loneliness of the two siblings.
It's a pity that such a good person died in the end.
No remains were found.
Before she was reborn, the endings of many people flashed before her eyes like a kaleidoscope.
There was Pei Jinxuan, his flesh was gouged out piece by piece by wild dogs.
There was also Lin Miaofu's head, which had been cut off and stuffed into a pickle jar, with the hairpin stolen from her still on her head.
besides--
Shen Yuheng was clearly a civil servant, but he chose to go to the battlefield. His young life was forever buried in the loess of a foreign land.
Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, when Shen Yuheng was sent to the battlefield, the drama of the prince's fight for the throne was at its most intense.
Could it be that the Prime Minister has also been involved in the party struggle?
But which party is he from?
She had to find out.
besides--
There was also the man in blood-stained clothes who killed the entire Pei family.
Who is he?
Did it have a good ending in the end?
.
Xiuyue Tower:
As the sun set in the west, Lu Qingyue had already returned from the flower-viewing banquet hosted by Concubine Li.
Concubine Li was the biological mother of Prince Ding'an, and she liked to host banquets for the families of dignitaries.
Although the Yong'an Marquis Mansion has declined, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion is always included in the invitations to banquets held in the palace.
Lu Qiaoxiao never bothered to attend banquets like this.
Lu Qingyue, the most dignified and well-educated person in the family, naturally took the lead.
Lu Yong did not like his daughters to attend the fancy banquets hosted by the palace ladies, because if they were not careful, they would be labeled as flatterers.
But under Wang Xiuwan's guidance, Lu Qingyue still allowed her to go there every time, so that she could take the opportunity to get more news.
Waiting to marry into your family one day and climb up the social ladder.
Seeing Lu Qingyue looking relaxed, Wang Xiuwan quickly asked about the banquet today.
Lu Qingyue's face was filled with a bit of pride that was rarely seen on ordinary days.
She always appears calm and non-competitive in front of others.
"Today, Concubine Li praised me, saying that I was dignified and generous, and had the bearing of a legitimate daughter." Her face blushed. Prince Ding'an Wei Yan was also present at the banquet today.
He is handsome and elegant, with a pair of bright eyes that are very impressive.
The man Lu Qingyue is going to marry should be the center of attention and the focus of the crowd.
"Did you say anything to Prince Ding'an today?" Wang Xiuwan was naturally satisfied with her second daughter.
Yue'er was trained by her personally. She is scheming and ambitious, and a good girl.
Although Lu Yong always told them not to think about marrying princes and not to have these daydreams of becoming rich overnight.
But Wang Xiuwan believed that when a girl gets married, she must marry a man with ability and family background.
Lu Qingyue frowned, "Not yet. However, in three days' time, there will be a Spring Banquet, a day for men and women in the capital to meet each other. Prince Ding'an will also be there. It is said that Concubine Li wants to choose a princess for Prince Ding'an."
"Then you must seize this opportunity." Wang Xiuwan gently pulled Lu Qingyue's hand and squeezed it lightly.
She looked at Lu Qingyue with loving eyes.
Because she seemed to see the shadow of her childhood in Yue'er.
Although she was born as a concubine, she overcame all obstacles along the way and captured Lu Yong's heart. Although she entered the mansion as a concubine, she was still favored by the emperor.
However, Yue'er is smarter and luckier than her.
In her opinion, Yue'er is destined to enter the palace and become a noble concubine. If she wins the bet, Prince Ding'an will be able to win the battle for imperial power.
That Yue'er has the fate of the Empress Dowager.
Originally, she had chosen Prince Pingyang, who was the most powerful person in the court.
But in the past three months, I learned from the master that the Prince of Pingyang was not at peace in the dark and had secretly done many things that were disobedient to the emperor.
It seems that if you climb high, you will fall hard, and it is dangerous to try to get the skin of a tiger.
But I heard that Prince Ding'an was deeply supported by Prime Minister Shen Yuheng, so I believe that the master chosen by the top scholar must not be wrong.
So it is definitely right for Yue'er to marry Prince Ding'an.
Just then, Yunxi came in from outside the yard in a panic.
Wang Xiuwan hurriedly called her over and asked, "That bitch is dressed up so extravagantly, what is she going to do?"
