Chapter 648: Cuscuta Cousin 12 (Two Updates in 1)
At that time, on the other side.
Ji Yunxiu "accidentally" met a young man in brocade clothes.
As the two passed by, he bowed slightly: "Fifth Prince."
No one saw it, the two of them looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
-
On this side, Song Yuwan also quickly found Ji Yunxiu.
"Ji Yunxiu."
Ji Yunxiu looked up, and when he saw Song Yuwan, he was not surprised. He even looked at Bishuang behind her, who was sweating profusely and looked a little unwell. He seemed to understand something, and smiled and walked forward: "Sister Song, what's the matter?"
Song Yuwan didn't notice this abnormality and nodded seriously: "Come with me."
Ji Yunxiu didn't move.
Seeing this, Song Yuwan smiled and said, "I have something important to tell you. You can listen to it or not."
Ji Yunxiu quickly put on a curious look: "Listen, of course I want to listen."
Ji Yunxiu and Song Yuwan left together. As they left, he gave a look to someone in the distance.
Ji Yunxiu and Song Yuwan walked side by side.
The two walked and talked about some meaningless things.
On the way, Song Yuwan glanced at Bishuang, and Bishuang understood and left quietly.
"Sister Song, is there anything important you want to say?" Ji Yunxiu pretended not to see it.
"Of course it's very important. I'll tell you later." Song Yuwan said impatiently: "Just follow me!"
Ji Yunxiu looked at Song Yuwan, who used to be spoiled to other people but almost put away all her claws towards him, and saw that her temperament had changed drastically. He didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was just another way to attract him.
Ji Yunxiu is neither blind nor stupid, so he naturally knows that Song Yuwan likes him, but so what? There are many people who like him, and Song Yuwan is not the only one.
What he needs is someone useful.
But Song Yuwan recently... Ji Yunxiu thought that she seemed to know something extraordinary, and he didn't mind coaxing her.
"Okay, okay." Ji Yunxiu smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Sister Song."
The sun was shining brightly, and Song Yuwan found that perhaps she was about to accomplish something. She became more and more excited and even her breathing became rapid.
"Song Yuwan! What did you do to me!"
Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from beside her, and her hand was grabbed fiercely.
Song Yuwan was startled and looked suddenly at the mad Ji Yunxiu.
But she found that Ji Yunxiu was so handsome and charming at this moment. She was infatuated with him. This was the big brother she had been chasing after since she was a child.
How could I not like it?
The pent-up emotions in her heart burst out.
"Brother Ji..."
Ji Yunxiu seemed to smell something at the tip of his nose. His eyes were dazed for a moment, and his anger turned into something else. He hugged Song Yuwan.
-
As for Sheng Huan, she had already safely found the place where the ladies in the Grand Princess's mansion changed their clothes.
She washed her hands quietly, water droplets wetting the backs of her white hands, and also heard what was happening over at Song Yuwan's end.
The medicine Song Yuwan found is really strong.
I heard that the name of this medicine is "Drunk in the Red Dust". Once a Chinese medicine practitioner takes it, the person he or she sees is his or her loved one. Once he or she is drunk in the red dust, it doesn't matter if there is no loved one, he or she will still be unable to extricate themselves.
Song Yuwan had brought this upon herself by using this medicine to plot against her!
Who made her have such evil thoughts? And Ji Yunxiu... he is not innocent either.
Both the male and female protagonists found people to catch them cheating, how can we not be excited about it.
Sheng Huan picked up a handkerchief to wipe his hands and fixed his hair in front of the mirror.
-
The banquet was lively, and in the middle of it, someone mentioned the beautiful bamboo forest in the Grand Princess's Mansion.
They were all young men and women full of vigor and vitality, and at this moment they were all eager to write poetry.
As the host, Princess An Ning was very happy to celebrate her coming of age today. She waved her hands with great pride.
"My mother's bamboo forest was planted by our ancestors and has been passed down for hundreds of years. Since everyone is interested, today is a good time. I will take you to see the excitement."
Bishuang returned to the banquet and was about to do as her mistress had said, leading the servants of the princess's mansion, preferably the people at the banquet, to catch the adulterer. She was still nervous when she heard that everyone was going to the bamboo forest. She felt relieved instantly, knowing that she didn't have to do any effort.
She understood this and quietly hid herself among the crowd.
Many people came along, both men and women, but they were all young people.
As they were talking animatedly, they approached a bamboo forest and suddenly heard a series of ambiguous voices.
Everyone looked at each other.
Princess An Ning's face turned even darker. The other playboys came to watch the fun and rushed over with an "Ouch!"
Bishuang lowered her head and listened nervously. For a moment, she felt that the voices sounded familiar. She thought that she might have heard it wrong because of nervousness, and shook her head vigorously.
Cautiously looking up and checking around, why is the girl nowhere to be seen? Wasn't it agreed that if she led someone over, the girl would scream?
Unexpectedly, when she looked up to look for her girl, she accidentally saw that an impossible person appeared next to Fu Shirui.
Bishuang's pupils trembled: "!!!"
What's going on?! Why is Miss Shen here? Then, who is the person in there?
Where's the girl! Where's her girl? !
Sheng Huan on the other side held Fu Shirui's hand. Feeling someone's gaze on her, she turned her head back with an expressionless face, as if she was just casually glancing at her, and quickly looked away.
But Bi Shuang was shocked by Sheng Huan's eyes! She always felt that her eyes were very cold. Thinking of her own lady who had not shown up from just now until now, Bi Shuang broke out in a cold sweat on her back.
No, that won’t happen…right.
"what!"
"Ji Yunxiu, Song Yuwan!"
"It's actually you two!"
A few surprising high notes almost blew the roof off the house.
There are always a lot of people watching the fun. Everyone came forward, and Sheng Huan followed Fu Shirui's footsteps. When they got closer, they saw a white patch on the green grass. Ji Yunxiu had a big red bellyband on his head.
The two of them were making love and had no idea what the world was like!
"How outrageous!" Princess An Ning was furious. She didn't expect that at her coming-of-age banquet, a pair of adults and children would appear and do dirty things!
[Oh wow! Princess An Ning saw Ji Yunxiu and Song Yuwan doing this and that. Will she still fall in love with Ji Yunxiu at first sight?]
[This original novel seems to be too far away from the plot, why is it like this? However, if Princess An Ning still resorts to trickery to marry Ji Yunxiu, it can only mean that Princess An Ning truly loves Ji Yunxiu.]
[Upstairs, after this happened, Song Yuwan may not necessarily be Ji Yunxiu's new wife this time. Perhaps Princess An Ning can also get what she wants and marry Ji Yunxiu.]
[After meeting the male and female protagonists, Princess An Ning's brain is obviously not good. Perhaps in the end, she will still be stripped of her rank and become insane.]
"How dare you!" Princess An Ning was so angry that she almost thought she was hallucinating. Why did she, a princess, choose a husband with such a flawed character? She was also stripped of her rank. It was simply nonsense!
Sheng Huan fired a shot.
Over there, two people who were taking traditional Chinese medicine were suddenly awakened. After seeing what happened, they screamed.
"Ah!" Song Yuwan hid behind Ji Yunxiu, with confusion and fear in her eyes.
What happened? Why did she get into trouble? It should have been Shen Huiying who should be the one being watched and scolded by everyone!
Where is Shen Huiying! Where is she, where is she! Song Yuwan wanted to look for her, but she was stared at by the naked eyes around her and dared not look up again.
Ji Yunxiu was more panicked than ever before, his face was extremely gloomy, and he obviously knew that he was being plotted against. He had murderous intentions towards Song Yuwan, and he didn't believe that she was innocent.
"Come here, tie them all up for me, tie them all up!!"
"Princess, I was framed. I was drugged." Ji Yunxiu forced himself to stay calm.
-
The housekeeper of the Grand Princess's Mansion arrived very quickly.
The final outcome is unknown, and the others have been led to the waterside pavilion.
"Dear guests, please come this way."
Everyone left very politely.
Sheng Huan held Fu Shirui's hand tightly. Her porcelain-like skin seemed a little too white.
She seemed absent-minded, and so did most of the others, so naturally no one paid attention to her.
After walking a few steps, Sheng Huan saw the man in red whom he had seen not long ago from a distance.
He stood in the crowd, holding a wine cup in his hand, with the corners of his lips raised, and a sense of alienation revealed in his nonchalant look.
As if he felt someone was looking at him, he raised his eyes.
Sheng Huan was caught off guard and their eyes met.
The woman's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyebrows were soft, and she looked fragile, weak and pitiful. No one knew that she might be trying her best to suppress something. As expected, there was no sign of the explosive power just now.
The man in red looked into her eyes and felt that those almond-shaped eyes were too moist. The curve of his lips paused for a moment, as if nothing had happened.
They both looked away at the same time.
Fu Shirui felt the grip on her arm tightened even more. She came back to her senses from the previous scene and looked down at Sheng Huan.
"cousin."
Fu Shirui didn’t know what was wrong with Sheng Huan, and thought she was frightened by the scene just now, so she patted her hands.
"We'll be back home in a bit, it's okay."
"Yeah." Sheng Huan nodded slightly, the pink rouge-colored lip balm seemed to cover up the paleness of her lips.
Fu Shirui comforted her little cousin, then raised her eyes and saw the man in red not far away.
Sheng Huan followed her gaze.
Fu Shirui frowned.
"Cousin, what's wrong?" Sheng Huan approached Fu Shirui and asked in a low voice.
"Nothing." Fu Shirui shook her head: "I just saw someone from the Xiao family."
Sheng Huan was a little surprised. He naturally knew who Fu Shirui was looking at just now. He hesitated and said, "Is that...Prince Xiao?"
"Yes." Fu Shirui nodded.
The Fu and Xiao families are both dukes. The current emperor is afraid that they may join forces and is quite wary of them. Intentionally or unintentionally, he always sets the Fu and Xiao families against each other.
Only when the two families are in opposition can we feel safe today.
Perhaps it can be said that although the Fu and Xiao families are both dukes, they basically never interact with each other.
Today, we would not be happy to see them interacting with each other.
Thinking of this, Fu Shirui remembered that she would be entering the palace soon. Although there was no decree from above, it should be soon.
But if she entered the palace, the current emperor would never let her and Concubine Xiao live in harmony.
More than two years have passed since the eldest sister passed away, and the harem is still without a master, and Concubine Xiao has still not been able to ascend to the throne.
Now that I have entered the palace, there are a lot of right and wrongs.
Seeing Fu Shirui lost in thought, Sheng Huan did not speak.
-
After the coming-of-age banquet, Ji Yunxiu and Song Yuwan’s romantic affair broke out and spread throughout the capital.
The eldest princess was furious and reported the incident to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. The previous dynasty also frantically impeached the Minister of Rites and the Grand Master of Imperial Households because of this incident.
They were criticized for not educating their children properly and should be dismissed from office!
Ji family.
Song's mother endured the embarrassment and came to the house.
"Madam Ji, Yun Xiu and Wan'er grew up together. They were supposed to be engaged. Now that something like this has happened, why don't we settle the marriage and silence the gossips?"
Madam Ji's usual gentleness and enthusiasm disappeared, and she said coldly: "Madam Song, you misunderstood. When did our Yun Xiu get engaged to your daughter? I think you misunderstood. If you want to take a concubine, there is no need to go through so much trouble."
She said, "The mansion happens to be free, so we can bring the sedan chair here tomorrow."
"Bang!" Madam Song slammed her palm on the table and was furious when she heard this: "My daughter is the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion! How dare you let her be a concubine!"
Madam Ji smiled with a fake smile: "We in the Ji family only want innocent girls. If your daughter doesn't want to be with you, then she can only cut her hair and become a nun, or she can be killed with a rope. What does it have to do with our Ji family?"
"I haven't blamed her for being vicious and drugging my Yun Xiu!"
"you!"
Madam Song's eyes were red with anger: "You think your son is innocent! My daughter is weak, maybe she was forced by Ji Yunxiu! His character is flawed, you think you can make any progress in the court in the future, dream on!"
"What's a man's romantic affair?" Mrs. Ji was furious: "This palace is too small to accommodate the big Buddha of your Song family. Come on, send the guest away!"
The two parted unhappily.
-
The Fifth Prince's Mansion.
The fifth prince bowed his head before the case.
"Master, Master Ji is asking for an audience outside the mansion."
The fifth prince didn't even raise his head: "You can't handle things well, and it's like this. How dare you see me? I won't see you."
The eldest princess was like a madman at the moment, and he would never get involved with Ji Yunxiu.
The Fifth Prince was unhappy, and Ji Yunxiu was also ignorant to come to him at this time.
Alas, this time, he was ultimately unable to share his father’s worries.
The Fifth Prince thought that his father was wary of Duke Fu's Mansion. He even "accidentally" learned that his father was reluctant to give a high position to Fu Shirui who was about to enter the palace. Since his father didn't want to give her a high position, as a son, he naturally had to share his father's worries.
He originally wanted to do a good deed to please his father and not take credit for it. But he almost ended up throwing dirty water on himself.
Outside the mansion, Ji Yunxiu, who was in disguise, clenched his fists when he heard the servant's message.
-
In the past few days, Sheng Huan did not go anywhere in the mansion, and the ups and downs in the capital could not disturb her.
After the Grand Princess got angry, things became difficult for both the Song and Ji families.
However, thinking of Song Yuwan's train of thought and golden fingers, Sheng Huan felt that Song Yuwan and Ji Yunxiu might be tied together.
But... Ji Yunxiu had actually been hooking up with the Fifth Prince so early.
Sheng Huan flipped through the original novel in his mind.
The fifth prince, even though he is now obsessed with flowers and birds and has no intention of competing for the throne, and looks like an idle person, but in the end, he will be the new king.
-
The next day.
Fu Shirui came to find Sheng Huan early in the morning.
"Cousin, mother said that she would take us to the Buddhist temple to burn incense in a few days. When we do, we can also go to the manor for a walk."
Sheng Huan was very interested.
