Chapter 16 Visit
Hua Yuxi turned around angrily and saw Jiang Tanjing who was dressed very eye-catchingly.
He wore a round-necked robe made of bright satin with a stone blue background and woven with gold, embroidered with butterflies playing with crabapples. The gold thread patterns on the cuffs and hem shimmered in the sunlight. He wore a belt inlaid with rubies around his waist, and the gilded jade crown on his head complemented his clothes.
This kind of dress, coupled with his red lips, white teeth, and handsome and charming face, is simply too flashy.
Jiang Tanjing, the son of Marquis Wu'an, has a feminine appearance and outstanding looks. He often dresses like a colorful peacock.
When Hua Yuxi was a child, she would play with him. When she grew up, she devoted all her attention to Wei Rong and seldom dealt with this person. However, every time she dealt with him, she would be treated with sarcasm by this peacock.
"Can't you see? I'm going to visit Brother Ziyang. Jiang Tanjing, why are you here?"
Jiang Tanjing shook the carved wooden box in his hand and smiled with his peach blossom eyes, "Hey~ I'm here to visit Brother Ziyang too~"
When Hua Yuxi heard Jiang Tanjing imitating her in a low voice, she almost tore the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.
"Did you call me Brother Ziyang? You are not allowed to call me like that!"
Jiang Tanjing not only didn't listen, but shouted even louder.
"We usually get along well, so why can't I call him Brother Ziyang? Princess, you're so overbearing. Could it be that these four words, 'Brother Ziyang~', are uniquely yours?"
The flower and bird folding fan in his hand snapped shut, and the mockery on his face became more obvious.
Hua Yuxi was so angry when she heard Jiang Tanjing's sarcastic tone that she wanted to scratch his beautiful face!
"Anyway, you can't scream! If you scream like that, it will make me..." It's disgusting.
Hua Yuxi didn't say the rest of the words.
Could it be that she always shouted in this tone in the past?
No, no, no, how can Jiang Tanjing compare with her!
Jiang Tanjing looked at Hua Yuxi's face, which was covered with thick makeup and was changing unpredictably, and the smile in his eyes became even brighter.
Yun Fu, who was squatting on the wall at this time, saw these two peacocks. Not to mention, the man was dressed in fancy clothes and the woman was wearing jewels. Just looking at the two of them standing together made her eyes a little sore.
Listening to them bickering, Yun Fu's tail swung back and forth.
I just regret that I am a cat now, otherwise I could grab a handful of melon seeds and read while eating them, which would be much more interesting than those in the storybooks.
Those involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Yun Fu has loved reading various storybooks about infatuated men and resentful women since she was a child. Her master and several senior sisters and brothers dote on her. Every time they come back, they will bring her a lot of storybooks. In the past two years, even the storybooks she has read have taken on a different tone.
Therefore, looking at the two people bickering at the door, aren't they a pair of happy enemies?
Now it seems that the male peacock is showing off his beautiful clothes, but the female peacock can't see anything at all, which is even more interesting.
Jiang Tanjing looked at the little girl who was about to cry after what he said, and immediately shut up, moved his ears slightly, and raised his eyes to look at the high wall beside him.
When I looked over, I only saw a hint of warm yellow, like a cat.
At this time, Butler Zhou, with a blessed look on his face, hurried out to greet them.
Seeing the two people at the door, he quickly saluted.
"My humble servant greets the Princess and the Crown Prince. I didn't know you were so kind to visit us. In recent days, our Crown Prince's wife has been exhausted and has been chanting sutras and praying in the Buddhist temple every day, so she has been avoiding guests. I hope the Princess and the Crown Prince will forgive me..."
Hua Yuxi's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard what the housekeeper said, "Brother Ziyang... is my cousin really in a serious condition? Can you please let me go and take a look? I promise not to disturb my cousin!"
Jiang Tanjing, who was standing by, had a glimmer of light in his peach blossom eyes, and he put away his nonchalant look.
"Please help inform the housekeeper that my father asked me to visit Prince Wei on behalf of the Marquis of Wu'an."
Seeing this, Butler Zhou looked embarrassed, but finally went to report it.
The two entered the Duke of Wei's mansion as they wished.
As soon as Jiang Tanjing entered the Duke's Mansion, he felt that it was extremely quiet. Even the servants who were cleaning and watering were moving very quietly.
When we arrived at the courtyard where Wei Rong lived, it was even quieter.
When he was about to reach the yard, Jiang Tanjing keenly noticed that there were many secret guards around the yard.
He calmly withdrew his inquiry.
Hua Yuxi and her two maids arrived at the gate of the courtyard and were stopped by a cold-faced guard.
The servant that Jiang Tanjing brought with him was also stopped.
Hua Yuxi didn't think too much about it. She took the supplements brought by the maid, lifted her skirt and stepped into the yard.
As soon as she entered the yard, a strong smell of medicine hit her in the face, choking her so much that she couldn't help coughing.
Jiang Tanjing's face also looked a little unbearable. The smell of medicine was almost permeating the entire yard.
Shen Shi saw the two people coming in, his face was stern, and he saluted, "Greetings to Princess Fengyang, Prince Jiang. Our prince is not seeing guests right now, and it is a great honor for you two to come and visit."
Upon hearing this, Hua Yuxi clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand and said in a worried voice, "Let me go in and take a look at Brother Ziyang. I will definitely not disturb him, okay?"
Shen Shi's face was expressionless. "Please don't embarrass me, Princess."
Jiang Tanjing knew that the guard in front of him was one of Wei Rong's personal guards. He usually had a smiling face, but now he looked as serious as the other stern-faced guard.
But it was really just an act. If Jiang Tanjing hadn't investigated further and hadn't seen Wei Rong, it would be hard to say whether these things were true or false.
Seeing that the guard was not moved by any persuasion, Hua Yuxi simply lifted her skirt and tried to force her way in.
Shen Shi was concerned that this person was a princess, so he didn't dare to use force and could only block the door with his body.
"Please don't make things difficult for me, Princess."
Hua Yuxi's mind was filled with stories about her cousin Ziyang being tortured by poison until he was no longer human, his face even horrible, and he could...
She didn't believe it. How could someone as bright as the moon and as beautiful as the clear sky become like that?
"Brother Ziyang~ I'm Fengyang, I'm here to see you——"
Unable to get in, Hua Yuxi could only shout.
Shen Shi raised his hand and was about to tap the xue to stop the princess from shouting.
Jiang Tanjing, who had been silent on the side, raised his hand, grabbed Hua Yuxi's arm, pulled her over, and blocked some of the blood.
Subconscious actions are the least likely to deceive people.
Jiang Tanjing was already 60% certain in his heart that the poison in Wei Rong was indeed serious.
"Jiang Tanjing, why are you pulling me here?"
Hua Yuxi's eyes were red, and she glared at Hua Kongque who was pulling her arm.
Just as Jiang Tanjing was about to speak, a hoarse voice came from inside the house.
"Shen Shi, let...let them in..."
