Qinglian continued, "Princess, Miss Zhang Er just sent someone to deliver a message saying that at her birthday banquet yesterday, the wife of Duke Ji introduced Madam Pei to the other ladies as the Crown Prince's wife. Her attitude showed that she was very fond of her and valued her..."
Hearing this, Princess Rongfu angrily raised her hand and swept across the dressing table.
“Crash!”
In an instant, a headdress on the dressing table was swept to the ground.
She cursed angrily, "Bitch! Just because you're from a lowly family, you want to be Pei Ji's wife? That's just wishful thinking!"
The two maids dressing up were so frightened that they knelt down quickly: "Princess, calm down! Princess, calm down!"
"You guys go out first."
Hearing Qinglian's words, the two maids felt as if they had been pardoned and quickly left the room.
Qinglian said: "Princess, do you want to..."
Princess Rongfu interrupted her directly: "Proceed immediately according to the original plan. Tomorrow I will hear the news that the bitch has been burned to death!"
Her father had already told her that he would remove her from that matter, and she also knew clearly from that incident where her father's bottom line was.
As long as she is the lucky star of the Jin Dynasty, my father will not touch her.
Tsk tsk!
Being the lucky star of Dajin was really good. Although her father was very disappointed in her, so what? She didn't care.
What she cared about was her wealth and glory and the man she loved, Pei Ji. With her father backing her up, she could do whatever she wanted and get everything she wanted by any means necessary...
Qinglian hesitated a bit, "But Princess, the day after tomorrow is the day for the charity gathering. If we start tonight and burn down the champion's mansion, it will definitely cause a big commotion. I'm afraid it will affect the charity gathering..."
After all, she is a lady of the imperial court and the future wife of Duke Ji.
Princess Rongfu was completely disdainful. "Pei Ji left the capital, Pei Zhao is staying at the academy, and now that bitch is the only one left in the champion's mansion. If she dies, it's her who will die. To the Duke of Ji's mansion, she's just an outsider, a country woman who's not worthy of being on the stage. Who knows, they might even wish she were dead. If she were dead, the Duke of Ji's mansion could find a wife of equal status for Pei Ji."
"So, if she died, or died in an accidental fire, what big deal would it cause?"
Qinglian thought about it and felt it made sense, so she quickly said respectfully: "Then I will let Hei Lian take action tonight!"
"Don't leave any traces..." The emperor knew it didn't matter. After all, he wouldn't really touch her. If Pei Ji knew it was her who did it, he probably wouldn't forgive her easily.
"yes……"
Qinglian retreated respectfully and when she reached the door, she called two maids in to serve her. The two dressing maids waiting outside the door hurried in to continue dressing Princess Rongfu.
Inside the No. 1 Scholar’s Mansion.
By the time Su Li had sorted out the details of the plan, it was already lunchtime.
After lunch, I just returned to the west wing when Xiao Ye came in: "Madam, Miss Pei San is here, and she brought a white-haired Taoist priest with her. I have already invited them to the main hall."
Su Li was a little surprised. Pei Mingyue brought the Taoist priest with him, which meant that the Taoist priest agreed.
She nodded, packed up briefly and left the west wing.
As soon as she entered the main hall, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw the white-haired Taoist priest sitting opposite Pei Mingyue, wearing a wide Taoist robe and with an unfathomable face.
It turns out that he is an old acquaintance.
Pei Mingyue quickly stood up when she saw Su Li and excitedly introduced him, "Ah Li, this is the Taoist priest I was talking about, Taoist Kongxu. He has already agreed..."
Taoist Kongxu didn't seem to recognize Su Li. He also stood up, raised his whisk, and nodded slightly, saying, "Madam, I am honored to meet you."
Su Li raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "Master Kongxu, don't you remember me? We have met before."
"Hmm?" Pei Mingyue was curious: "Ali, have you met?"
Taoist Kongxu also had a puzzled look on his face. He looked at Su Li carefully for a while, frowned uncertainly, looked at him again as if doubting and confirming, and then took a few steps back in shock.
He blinked in disbelief and stammered, "You, you, you are the wife of the Pei family from Taohua Village!"
Isn’t this a huge change?
The lady in front of him, dressed in fine silk, wearing precious pearl hairpins on her head, with snow-white skin and a noble face, was completely different from the pale and thin lady of the Pei family whom he had met in Taohua Village. He almost didn't recognize her.
Although he had seen from the beginning that she was destined to be rich and powerful, and that her status would be extremely noble in the future, he did not expect it to happen so soon. It had only been less than a year!
Su Li said slowly: "Alas, Taoist priest, you are so forgetful, but you finally remembered me..."
"What?" Pei Mingyue was even more curious. "Ali, you two really know each other. Tell me quickly, how did you meet?"
Taoist Kongxu was afraid that Su Li would expose his previous deception in Taohua Village, so he quickly said, "Pei family, uh, female lay Buddhist, female lay Buddhist, I have something to say to you in private, is that possible?"
"Huh?" Pei Ming's face was full of curiosity. Is there anything he can't let her know?
But despite her curiosity, she was still very discerning: "Then Ah Li, if you have anything to say, I will just step aside for a while."
As he said that, he walked out of the hall first and went out to the yard. Xiao Wu got a signal from Su Li and hurriedly followed Pei Mingyue.
"Master, do you have anything to say?"
Seeing Pei Mingyue walking away, Kongxu Daoren dropped his mysterious expression and said with a smile, "Lady, the matter of Taohua Village... hehe... is it over now?"
After all, all the money he earned at that time went into her pocket. He never thought that he would run into her again this time, but he swore that this time, he really didn't lie!
Su Li nodded: "It's in the past. What's the matter? Do you want to bring it up again?"
Taoist Kongxu quickly said, "No, no, no! I don't mean to bring this up again. I just want to tell you that although I was suspected of cheating and deceiving people before, that was also because I had to make a living. I actually have real skills. Look, I said you would become rich and powerful in the future. Now, hasn't it come true? Don't you think so?"
Su Li nodded: "Indeed..."
She wasn't pretending, she really believed him.
In the original novel, although Taoist Kongxu often had to cheat and deceive people to make a living, he did have real skills.
Fortune-telling is the Taoist skill that he is best at and the only one he knows.
Not to mention looking at her at the time, just look at Pei Mingyue and you will know it accurately.
"You believe in me? Do you really believe in me?" Taoist Kongxu was a little bit incredulous, but then he thought about it and it didn't seem strange.
She already knew his background in Taohua Village before, which shows that she should also know what his abilities are, so she believed him now.
Oh! It was all because of his constant cheating and deception that I almost forgot that I had real skills too.
You are really scaring yourself!
