After the big guy wears the abusive text

The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet came as scheduled. A few days ago, the Imperial Palace opened a warehouse in the capital to release grain.

On the day before the birthday banquet, all officials and marquises who received the post had to go to the palace and stay up all night with brightly lit lights to pray for the queen mother.

In the Duke's mansion, Ye Youqing was sitting upright, waiting for Zhao Qingrou to place a hair crown on her head. The hair crown was surrounded by flowers, but the color was a bit old.

Zhao Qingrou suddenly sighed and took off the hair crown.

"It's finally inappropriate. On such an important day, almost all the dignitaries in the capital are present, but mother can't give you a good thing." Zhao Qingrou's expression was very melancholy.

Ye Youqing knew that she blamed herself, so she hooked her lips into a smile, and said briskly: "I think this hair crown is pretty, but it doesn't match my clothes. Why don't we use the old willow leaf hairpin? It's more suitable for this one." Blue dress."

Hearing this, Qin Xin quickly took the hairpin box.

"But after all, it's a grand occasion, and you're a prostitute, isn't that..."

"It's okay, I just don't want to attract too much attention." Ye Youqing said, took the willow leaf hairpin and inserted it on his head, and hung two jade earrings on his ears by the way, looking at the bronze mirror in front of him with satisfaction.

At this time in the original book, the heroine was often bullied. First, Xiao Erniang replaced the congratulatory gift, which became a big joke at the birthday banquet, and then was taken away by Ci Ke. After hearing some bad things, it can be described as repeated. Frustrated and seriously ill.

"Qin Xin, where is Xuehu?" Ye Youqing was worried, so he asked again.

"Always by my side." Qin Xin replied, holding a big bamboo basket and came over, opened the lid, revealing the snow-white fox's head, wrinkling her little nose at Ye Youqing.

After Qin Xin's careful care, the fox regained its cuteness in the past. Its fur is smooth and smooth, like a fluffy cotton ball.

"That's good, don't leave your body." Ye Youqing said, stretching out his fingers to push the fox's head back into the basket.

"What about the fake congratulatory gift?" Ye Youqing asked again.

"It's ready too. It's being sealed in a box and placed in the hallway, waiting for the mansion to carry it." Qin Xin replied.

Listening to their conversation, Zhao Qingrou was a little puzzled, she gently pushed Ye Youqing and said, "Since we have Xuehu, why do we still have one?"

"Mother will find out later." Ye Youqing blinked at her, making a smile on Zhao Qingrou's cloudy face for several days.

"Okay, when you grow up and have ideas, mother will listen to you." Zhao Qingrou stroked Ye Youqing's hair affectionately.

In the past few days, Ye Youqing has been asking Zhao Qingrou to live in her courtyard. Food and clothing are all prepared by Qin Xin. Occasionally, Ye Youqing personally watches, so Zhao Qingrou's illness miraculously stopped deteriorating and recovered instead. some.

Her originally pale face was now a bit bloody, which made her already beautiful appearance more vivid.

Ye Youqing was almost certain that someone had tampered with Zhao Qingrou's surroundings, but it was difficult for her to obtain evidence because she was ignorant of medicine and poison and had no one she trusted.

Maybe you can ask Shili for help, an idea suddenly popped into Ye Youqing's mind.

There was a knock on the door, and a maid who came in with a beaded flower on her hair should be by Erniang Xiao's side. She glanced at the three people in the room, lowered her head and said, "Ma'am, Miss, the time has come."

"Got it, go down." Qin Xin raised her head and said.

After the maid left, Ye Youqing got up and patted Qin Xin on the shoulder. This maid was smart and thoughtful, even if she was a little timid, she was still a useful partner.

The "congratulatory gift" placed in the hall has been taken away by the servant, Ye Youqing smiled unrecognizably, then supported Zhao Qingrou, and stepped out of the room, the sweet breath of spring blowing past, almost A petal fell on the top of the forehead.

Although the turquoise dress is plain, it matches the flowers everywhere. When the breeze blows, it looks like soft water waves. It is very beautiful. Today, Qin Xin put on makeup for her. Her eyebrows are curved like a moon, her lips are bright and her eyes are bright. A touch of rouge was applied, which made her look even more gorgeous despite being deserted.

At the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Erniang, Ye Chengzhu, and Ye Chengfu were already waiting there. A majestic carriage was parked in front, and Liang Guogong was inside.

"Mother, let's go." Ye Youqing patted the back of Zhao Qingrou's hand, motioned for Qin Xin to help her, and walked towards Liang Guogong's carriage.

Regardless of whether the husband and wife are harmonious or not, Zhao Qingrou is always the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, and behind her, Erniang Xiao's eyes are always fixed on Zhao Qingrou, as if she is a little jealous.

"Xiao Erniang, please." Ye Youqing said calmly.

Ignoring the woman's sinister eyes, Ye Youqing got into a carriage by himself, and after a while, the curtain was opened, and Ye Chengzhu also sat up, just looking at her expression, she seemed quite unhappy.

"Dressing like a commoner on such an important occasion, you're dead poor." Ye Chengzhu suddenly covered his nose and whispered disgust.

Ye Youqing squinted at her and said, "You look like a house sparrow."

"House sparrow?!" Ye Chengzhu seemed to be very angry, and the seat shook a few times, "This is the head made by the most famous artisan in Bianjing!"

Ye Youqing stretched out his hands to cover his ears, for fear that his eardrums would be broken by her roar.

"There are three feathers on the back of the head, a circle of white down on the top of the head, and a beak on the forehead. It's either a house sparrow or a pheasant." Ye Youqing said with a smile.

She is not exaggerating, Ye Chengzhu's appearance is like this at the moment.

"What kind of bird's beak? This is a forehead decoration, and it is inlaid with high-quality water jade!" Ye Chengzhu was very satisfied with her attire, but now Ye Youqing's compliments and criticisms made her eyes turn red with anger.

Seeing that the general was crying, Ye Youqing shut up and opened the curtain to enjoy the spring scenery.

Ye Chengzhu was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he has an arrogant and willful personality. Ye Youqing used to be stupid to say it, but now it was her, and Ye Chengzhu would suffer.

Ye Chengzhu was probably frustrated, sitting on the sidelines and wiping tears while pulling out the "bird's beak" on her head. The inside of the car was very quiet for a while, but there was a lot of traffic outside the car, with luxurious chariots driving alongside them from time to time , presumably also the dignitaries who entered the palace.

When passing through Yujie, Ye Youqing vaguely saw Cuihongzhuang, whose signboard had been removed, Shili was sitting on the threshold basking in the sun, shaking a broken cattail fan in his hand, and did not avoid the passing cars and horses.

Ye Youqing shook his head, and was about to lift the curtain to signal her to go back, but saw the young man running out of the door angrily, dragging Shi Li, who was half a head taller than him, back into the room, and slammed it on the door with a bang. the door.

Ye Youqing couldn't help laughing, turned around and sat down.

After a while, the chariots and horses entered the palace, the Chengde Gate was already opened, and the imperial guards lined up in two rows in front of the palace, vigilantly respecting those who greeted them. It was the first time for Ye Youqing to enter an ancient imperial palace, so he couldn't hold back his curiosity. Scrutinized all the way.

This place is indeed more than ten times larger than any ancient mansion. There are many pavilions, no end in sight, wide and clean roads, and solemn red walls erected around it. After dozens of gates, you can enter the palace. .

The carriages and horses stopped slowly, and a servant opened the curtain, and helped Ye Youqing and Ye Chengzhu get out of the car. Only then did Ye Youqing realize that there were many female relatives walking behind her, and only then did she know that she had been honored by the Duke's mansion. Only by car can you enter the door.

"Eldest girl, second girl, Liang Guogong has entered the banquet, please come with the younger one." The young waiter bowed and said, leading Ye Youqing up the white jade steps several feet wide, all the way to the entrance hall.

I saw that the inside is even more magnificent, there are many tables and chairs in the entrance hall, there is no barrier between the entrance hall and the main hall, and they are clearly visible from each other. The officials are sitting in the main hall, and the entrance hall is full of family members and some young men and women.

Ye Youqing took the seat according to the arrangement. Ye Chengzhu didn't want to be with her anymore, so he glared at her for a few times and ran to the opposite side, sitting with the round-faced gentle woman he saw a few days ago. Angrily talking to her.

The gentle woman glanced at Ye Youqing from time to time, but her eyes were not malicious.

Ye Youqing didn't know who she was, so he didn't care. Instead, he looked away at the main hall, searching for Zhao Qingrou.

It wasn't until she found out that she was safe and sound, and Qin Xin was still following her with her basket in her arms, that she felt relieved, and then got up with the help of the servant who served the dishes, and disappeared into the hall for a while.

It was also fortunate that her clothes were not gorgeous, so no one noticed.

After going out, she saw a few servants carrying congratulatory gifts to a side hall, so she followed behind them, and saw a maidservant with a beaded hairpin talking to the servant at the door who was guarding the congratulatory gifts.

After stuffing something into their hands, they lifted the hem of their skirts and walked quickly through the door.

Ye Youqing raised his eyebrows, turned around and hid beside the pillar, and walked lightly to the back of the house. Behind the house was a piece of green bamboo, covering a square window.

Ye Youqing stepped on the crack of the wall by relying on his body's childlike skills, only showing his head to watch.

Most of the expensive congratulatory gifts are carried by people, and there are not many congratulatory gifts here. Ye Youqing saw the box that said the Duke's Mansion at a glance, and saw the beaded maid walking towards it, and took out a worn-out mask Stuffed it in, took out the original calligraphy and painting inside, and then disappeared.

Ye Youqing sneered, and with a push on his legs, he rolled over easily, leaned forward, and fell to the ground almost silently.

She didn't bother with the congratulatory gift, but turned around, found Xiao Erniang's congratulatory gift, opened it, took out the priceless jade carving inside, and hugged it in her arms.

Then he took out a small paper bag from his sleeve, and poured the feces of the snow fox that he collected last night into it with great interest.
