Chapter 948 No Good Banquet 3
Yumei didn't know how to answer her lady's question.
She saw the changes on the young lady's face most clearly. From the very beginning, the skin lost its luster. She thought it was due to illness. After all, no one would look good if they were sick.
But as time went by, my lady's skin began to turn dull and yellow, and her previously bright phoenix eyes lost their aura, and the corners of her upturned phoenix eyes drooped, losing their original aura.
At that time, Yumei only felt a "thump" in her heart, but she still tried to steady herself. When Mrs. Hou invited the imperial doctor to diagnose the young lady's pulse, she was sure that Mrs. Hou should also be aware of the problem.
Under the tacit understanding of everyone, Dr. Wen checked his lady's pulse, but found nothing.
In the days that followed, she discovered that there were deep lines between the young lady's eyebrows, and black spots appeared on the tip of her originally small nose. Her small cherry mouth also began to become larger, and the corners of her lips were curved downwards, which made people feel unhappy just by looking at them. .
At this time, Xue Lianyi had already knocked over the bronze mirror and smashed everything on the dressing table. Yumei and the other maids did not dare to stop them. They could only stand aside quietly and watch the young lady vent.
"how so."
Xue Lianyi fell down on the small square stool and muttered to himself.
At this time, she had given up the idea of going to the back garden. What was she going to do? Let others see how ugly she is?
"Yumei, go and ask your mother to come over."
"Yes, miss."
Yumei was also afraid of being offended by the young lady. After listening to the young lady's instructions, she immediately winked at the other three maids and left in a hurry.
After hearing Yumei's words, Mrs. Hou just said:
"You tell Ripple that I will come over later."
After Ripple started to grow, she listened to the news Duoduo got from other plants, pursed her lips and smiled, asking Mei Zhi to help her change clothes, and she wanted to go for a walk in the back garden.
Ever since Mei Zhi used self-destructive methods to avoid Lin Yaozu, she had been avoiding him everywhere. A month later, Lin Yaozu, who liked the new and disliked the old, also forgot about her, giving her a chance to breathe.
Lianyi was noncommittal about Mei Zhi's surrender. The other party made it clear that she was unwilling, and she would not force the other party.
Especially after Lin Yaozu learned that Mei Zhi could not give him a child, his enthusiasm waned. After he became less interested in her, Mei Zhi became content with being a maid by her side.
After Lianyi finished dressing up, with the support of Granny Zhen, she led the maids to the back garden slowly. As a result, halfway through, she met several waves of maids and servants walking in a hurry.
"Meizhi, go ask what happened."
"Yes, young lady."
Lianyi asked Mei Zhi to find out the news, while he led the people to the back garden.
As they got closer to the back garden, the noise became louder. Many people gathered around the artificial lake in the back garden. Lianyi wanted to see the excitement, but was stopped by Grandma Zhen.
"Young Madam, you are heavy, so it is better not to go over. If you are hit, you will be the one to suffer."
"Okay, then we won't come close. You go find a place to sit nearby."
Lianyi listens to others' advice.
"Yes, young lady."
Grandma Sun responded immediately.
At this time, Mei Zhi walked over in a hurry, going against the flow of people.
"Madam, something happened over there."
"What's up?"
"The second daughter of the prime minister's family fell into the lake and was rescued by the commander of the Royal Forest Army."
"Is he okay?"
"It's okay, it's just that the second lady fainted when she was rescued."
Mei Zhi whispered.
"Oh? Who does she want to save her?"
Ripple asked with a smile.
Mei Zhi immediately understood what Lianyi meant and shook her head to express that she didn't know.
"At this time, both the male and female guests are together, and I don't know who the second lady is targeting."
Mei Zhi said in a low voice.
"It seems that mother is a little annoyed this time."
Ripple said very unsympathetically.
"Madam, there is no one in the pavilion over there. I have already made arrangements."
Grandma Sun came back in a hurry and said.
Lianyi and Mei Zhi stopped communicating, and then, with the support of Grandma Zhen, they walked towards the small pavilion. There was a rockery next to the small pavilion, which blocked most of the sunlight and made the pavilion less sunny.
After Lianyi was helped to sit down, she sent everyone to stand around the pavilion so as not to interfere with her enjoying the cool air, leaving only Mei Zhi and Xuanfeng to accompany her:
"Meizhi, peel melon seeds for me."
"Yes, young lady."
Mei Zhi obediently picked up the melon seeds and began to peel them for Lianyi, and then whispered:
"Young Madam, do you think Commander Feng will marry Miss Zhao Er?"
"I don't know. Let's see if the two families can come to an agreement. As far as I know, the prime minister's daughter wants to marry into the royal family."
Lianyi said while petting the cat.
"In this case, Commander Feng has taken advantage. He is at most a fourth-grade military officer, and the prime minister is a first-grade. Being married to the prime minister's family will be of great benefit to his future."
"There are advantages and disadvantages. The emperor is suspicious, and civil servants and military officers are colluding together. Even if it is just the in-laws of his children, the emperor will be unhappy.
But the marriage between the two families has benefits for both the prime minister and Commander Feng. Whatever happens in the imperial city cannot escape the eyes of these two. "
"But I heard that the prime minister wants to marry his second daughter to the eldest prince."
Mei Zhi put the peeled melon seeds on a small plate and handed them to Ripple.
"Tsk tsk, he wants to have a queen in his family."
Ripple said it bluntly.
"Young Madam, the eldest prince was commended by the emperor for his outstanding performance half a year ago, and his desire to be crowned prince has become even louder. Now Commander Feng shows up halfway, I don't know what will happen!"
Mei Zhi shook his head and said.
At this time, Xuanfeng's ears nestled next to Lianyi's hand moved, and then he stood up, stretched his body, jumped off the stone table in the pavilion, and jumped up to the rockery nearby.
Lianyi looked at the direction where the whirlwind was leaving and smiled. Fangcao also saw the whirlwind leaving, and immediately turned around and walked towards the pavilion and said:
"Young madam, I'm going to catch the whirlwind."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone fell into the pavilion. Mei Zhi jumped up in fright, and Fang Cao and other maids were also frightened.
Mei Zhi immediately stood in front of Lianyi, trying to protect his wife no matter what.
At this time, Tornado was stepping on the opponent's shoulders, making the people on the ground unable to get up. Lianyi looked amused and said:
"Tornado, come back! Don't bully others."
"Meow!"
Xuanfeng replied, stepped on the opponent's foot again, and then jumped up on the stone table, returned to Ripple's hand, and accepted the caress of his master.
The man on the ground stood up, patted the dust on his brocade robe, stared at the whirlwind and said:
"Madam's cat is so awesome."
"Excuse me. My Xuanfeng is usually very well-behaved, but he just likes to catch mice. Why did you stand on the rockery? Is it just for the convenience of watching the fun?"
Lianyi looked at the other person's handsome face and said with a smile.
After hearing Ripple's voice, the man shifted his gaze from Tornado to Ripple, with a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Mrs. Yes"
"I am the youngest daughter of Marquis Anding. I married into the Shangshu Mansion half a year ago. You can just call me Mrs. Lin. What do you call me, Young Master?"
See you tomorrow~~
