Immortal of Quick Transmigration, why are you blackened again?

Chapter 27
As soon as the leader of the servants saw Yuqiao, he respectfully said: "Tomorrow is the son's birthday. After today, it will be tomorrow. We must prepare quickly. Although it is not appropriate to hold a big funeral in time for the imperial concubine, Furen asked us to do it simply, as long as the masters in our mansion help the son celebrate his birthday, it would be easy without the matter of not entertaining guests."

"Understood, go get busy." After Yuqiao finished speaking, he ran back and reported to Lingyao.

"That's great." Lingyao just said, she smiled lightly, and said: "I won't drink hawthorn tea anymore, let's go back and prepare a gift for the son."

Seeing that she had something she wanted to do, Yuqiao seemed to be no longer so depressed, so she was sincerely happy, and hurriedly responded: "If the princess needs anything, this servant will go to the street to buy it for you!"

As soon as the words finished, a familiar voice came from behind the weeping willow: "Sister Lingyao is so excited!"

Wu Bingning heard her voice before seeing her, and then saw her wearing a bright red peony-patterned dress and a set of peony-themed gold and jade headgear from the Jinyu Pavilion. household.

"Your clothes should be more modest." Lingyao looked her up and down, her tone was light, "Why, because of the showy things last time, I haven't remembered much yet?"

Wu Bingning looked at her with vicious eyes: "If you hadn't deliberately framed me, how could I have suffered those [-] boards!"

"How do I know that you can attend such a scene with your identity?" She can bite the words "your identity" and remind her of her identity from time to time.

"Besides, a person like you is not worth my careful calculations." Lingyao said, "When you're done showing off, let's get out of the way, no good beast will get in the way."

Wu Bingning was unwilling all of a sudden, and the false smile was put away immediately, replaced by a look of success, like a cat that stole a fish: "I came to tell sister Lingyao that I will repair it tomorrow night." Of course, at the 25-year-old banquet, he will officially announce that I will become a side concubine."

She smiled brightly, hoping for so many years that her dream would finally come true, but she did not forget to sarcasm: "When the time comes, I will serve you tea, and I will definitely pay attention to your useless foot!"

"Presumptuous!" Yuqiao gave her a slap without saying a word. Wu Bingning didn't react for a moment, and after receiving the blow abruptly, she heard Yuqiao continue: "The princess is a cloud in the sky, you are just a cloud on the ground." It’s just mud that everyone can step on, and you don’t know how to shout here?! Do you think your life is too long, or do you think your tongue is too in the way!”

"You!" Wu Bingning was impatient, and was about to slap back with a wave of his hand, but the next second he fell on his chin, the hairpin on his head was shaking, and he was in a panic.

Lingyao withdrew her right foot and looked down at her as if looking at an ant: "One foot of this princess is enough to step on you and you can't get up. Let me tell you, if you are more sensible, we will be happy." Don't break the river; if you are so arrogant, then next time, it will be just like this."

After Lingyao finished speaking, she looked at Yuqiao: "I'm tired, let's go."

"Yes." Yuqiao pushed Lingyao and turned to leave. Wu Bingning stood up behind them and shouted angrily, "Your foot will never heal in this life! How could I still be afraid of a cripple!"

"My servant is going to tear her broken mouth!" Yuqiao was in a hurry, and was stopped by Lingyao when she was about to turn around: "Forget it, go back, I'm sleepy."

Back in the bedroom, Lingyao ordered Yuqiao to take out a pen and ink, and said: "Yuqiao, you go out first, I plan to write a letter for the son."

Probably thinking that she didn't like to be disturbed, Yuqiao bowed and retreated, not forgetting to close the door for her.

It's just that she didn't expect that Lingyao fell asleep lying on the table after finishing her writing and the ink was still wet.Yuqiao pushed the door open and entered, seeing her sleeping there, fearing that her knees would hurt from the cold, so she quickly woke her up and helped her to bed to rest.

Xu Shi was very sleepy, and Lingyao was not awake for dinner, so Sun sent someone to ask, Yuqiao had to answer truthfully, and she fell asleep.

In the blink of an eye, it came to the second day, and everyone in Pingyang Hou's mansion was busy with the son's birthday banquet in the evening, even if it couldn't be a big one, it was a waste of time.

Lingyao framed the picture she wrote for Duan Xiuran, then Yuqiao put it away, and then waited for the evening banquet.

Yuqiao looked at the time, glanced at Lingyao who was fascinated by the scenery outside by the window, and reminded: "Princess, it's time for us to change our clothes."

"Yuqiao, I think my ankle hurts." Lingyao said calmly, looking out the window.

"How could it be? This servant is going to send someone to invite the imperial physician!" Yuqiao said anxiously, and was about to go out as she spoke.

"No, the mansion is busy now, so the pain is not unbearable." Lingyao said, blinked slightly, and smiled: "This scenery is really beautiful."

Yuqiao thought, maybe Lingyao didn't want to see Wu Bingning's face, how could a glorious princess get upset because of something not popular?She thought about it, and said: "Then... the maidservant will help you and Madam, let's have a good rest in the room, shall we?"

Lingyao nodded, and suddenly said: "Yuqiao, do you still remember the golden jade bracelet with phoenix pattern left to me by my mother?"

"Of course I remember it. It's a rare and ingenious item, like it fell from the heavenly palace. The servants can't forget it after seeing it—why did the princess think of that bracelet?"

"After seeing my mother in a while, go to Duan Xiuran's study. You can sneak in during the banquet. There is a row of drawers under the cabinet in the east closet. The second one is opened and there is a brocade box. Help me find out if it is It's not the bracelet my mother left me." Lingyao slowly closed her eyes, perhaps a little tired, she said: "Let's do it."

Although he wondered why the bracelet that had been lost for more than ten years was in the Shizi's study, Yuqiao knew that he could not say more, and after glancing at the sky, he knew that it was getting late, so he hurried to run errands.

Duan Xiuran did not appear at the banquet until almost everyone had arrived.Today he was wearing a gray robe with some bamboo patterns embroidered on it, a jade crown on his head, and a stern face, as if he was forced to come here by someone.

After sitting down, he looked around first, his mother and concubines also arrived, and the younger brothers and sisters who were concubines also sat respectfully, Wu Bingning at the side was dressed in bright red, unparalleled in luxury.

He frowned slightly, and said, "Who hasn't come yet?"

Mrs. Sun glanced at her son, and replied: "Princess is tired, her old illness has relapsed, and she just sent Yuqiao to tell me that she won't be coming tonight."

"That's really unfortunate." Wu Bingning smiled with her mouth covered.

Mrs. Sun gave her a slap in the face, Xiu'er didn't know why that day, she let Wu Bingning out regardless of previous suspicions, and even came to her in the middle of the night, saying that she wanted to give that little bastard Wu Bingning a title.The more Mrs. Sun looked at her, the more she disliked her, but since that incident, the secret room where she secretly punished her concubine has been locked, and because of the fragile mother-child relationship, she didn't touch her again, otherwise, where would that little hoof be? Do you want to be arrogant here?
Duan Xiuran's complexion was obviously a little worse, but he still said: "Forget it, let's start."

As soon as the words fell, Yuqiao was seen rushing towards her regardless of everything, she almost begged and cried: "Your Majesty, go and see the princess quickly! I beg you!"

"What can the princess do?" Wu Bingning asked coldly.

"Shut up!" Sun stood up, "What kind of status do you dare to interrupt here?!" She looked at Duan Xiuran and said: "Princess has always been measured, Yuqiao is so anxious, I am afraid it is an urgent matter."

It means to ask him to go and have a look.

Yuqiao just lay on the ground and sobbed in a low voice, and didn't say what happened.

"Go, I'll watch for you here." Sun said.

Duan Xiuran hesitated for a moment, but got up anyway.

"Xiu Ran..." Wu Bingning wanted to say something, but was intimidated by Sun's eyes and dared not say any more.

When Duan Xiuran arrived at Lingyao's courtyard, the first sentence he said was: "What exactly do you want?"

But no one answered.

Yuqiao guarded the gate of the courtyard and never came in, and the house was not lit, except for the moonlight that could faintly give people some vision, and they could see the person sitting on the rocking chair facing the window, and there was nothing beside him.

"Zhao Lingyao?" Duan Xiuran called out tentatively, but no one answered.

He stepped forward and saw that she was sleeping soundly, motionless, the moonlight was shining on her face, there was a little tenderness, so he also slowed down his voice: "Yao'er?"

She still didn't respond, so he subconsciously shook her, but only saw a letter falling out of her cuff.

It says on it, the father and the emperor personally opened it.

Duan Xiuran was stunned for a moment, and placed his trembling fingers under her nose. It was so quiet, without any air passing through.

Only then did he realize that on the night of his 25th birthday, the only concubine of Darui Kingdom had passed away.

He couldn't describe his mood at this time, he obviously resented her for hating her, felt that she treated her feelings like a joke, she was obviously so good at using people's hearts, but at this moment, he felt his heart ached like a knife.

Yuqiao walked in at some point, holding a brocade box in her hand, and knelt down in front of Duan Xiuran.The brocade box was opened, and under the washing of the moonlight, the phoenix shadow pattern on the golden jade bracelet appeared slightly, and it was not ordinary at first glance.

Yuqiao's eyes were red, and he asked word by word: "Dare to ask my son, why did the golden jade bracelet that the princess lost for more than ten years appear in your study?"

Duan Xiuran turned his head slowly and looked at the bracelet, as if he was muttering to himself or asking Yuqiao, "Who do you think belongs to?"

"The relic of the late empress, the work of the master of the previous dynasty, the golden jade bracelet with phoenix patterns, why is it here with you!" Yuqiao burst into tears, "She is a princess! A princess! The daughter of the emperor, the descendant of the emperor! Why should she be tricked by you? That Wu Bing, who would rather die like nothing, dares to be presumptuous again and again, if it is because of you, son, do you think she can live to this day?"

Yuqiao knelt on the ground, and moved her knee step by step in front of her: "Princess, I will accompany you when the servant avenges you, can you... wait for the servant?"

Duan Xiuran couldn't support himself and sat slumped on the chair. So, when he fell into the water more than ten years ago, it was Lingyao who really saved him? !
