On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

Green pines and cypresses, small bridges and flowing water.

This poetry meeting in Prince Jin's Mansion can be said to be extremely elegant.

As soon as I stepped into the gate of the palace, I smelled the fragrance of pine and cypress. The servants in the house were dressed in uniform blue robes, and their attitudes were neither humble nor overbearing.

Xu Shihuan wore a long ink skirt today, with some patterns embroidered on it with ink threads. The neckline has dark red edges. The same dark red girdle showed off her good figure.

Deng Wanyu wore apricot pink clothes. She is already petite and exquisite, and she looks even more petite and cute with this color.

However, compared with other ladies, their outfits are a bit inconspicuous. The second prince had just been named King Jin and was given this house in Yong'an City. Many people secretly speculated that the emperor intended to pass the throne to him.

However, Prince Jin is twenty-three this year. If it were any other man, he would have had many wives and concubines, but now Prince Jin's palace does not even have any female dependents.

Today, through this poetry gathering, ladies from all the families are trying their best to win over King Jin. Even if you can't be the main concubine, it would be great to be a side concubine.

Maybe in a few years, this concubine will transform into the empress of the palace.

Xu Shihuan and Deng Wanyu had irritated faces. They were scolded by their respective mothers early this morning.

"Deng Wanyu! Are you wearing all white because you want to attend my funeral?"

"Xu Shihuan! Please comb your hair for me. What does this unisex hairstyle mean?"

Originally, the two of them thought that they were so ugly that they would make the second prince want to vomit.

Although they have entered a girls' school, they can use this as an excuse to delay their marriage for several years. But Li Yunfeng was the second prince after all. If he insisted on marrying and brought the marriage to the emperor, the matter might not end well.

Fortunately, the emperor's attitude towards the second prince is unpredictable, and even Li Yunfeng himself does not dare to go too far.

If the emperor felt that he was relying on marriage to win over courtiers, he would probably miss the throne.

Xu Shihuan and Deng Wanyu planned to find a place with few people to stay, and hurried back when the time was up. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them reached a corner, they were attracted by the exclamations of the people around them.

I saw a slender woman wearing an aqua skirt. I don’t know what kind of material this skirt is made of, but it shines differently at different angles.

Looking at her skin again, it was as white and tender as fine suet jade. The small facial features are gathered together, making her look indescribably delicate and charming.

The ladies around looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, whose girl is this? I feel pity for her to be born like this.

"This girl is somewhat similar to Duan Qinglian, but she looks much more elegant than her."

Deng Wanyu looked and commented, as if examining a piece of clothing.

"It's just, don't you think she looks a bit like Gao Zimo?"

Xu Shihuan reminded softly. Gao Zimo? Hearing what Xu Shihuan said, Deng Wanyu really felt that the beauty in front of her looked familiar. Before she could make a clear distinction, this fragile beauty had already walked over.

"Shihuan, Wanyu, you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time."

Her tone of voice was soft and soft, which made people feel itchy in their ears and panicked.

"Gao Zimo, you..."

Deng Wanyu wanted to ask her why she suddenly became like this, but Xu Shihuan pinched her arm violently.

"Zi Mo, Wan Yu and I don't like too lively occasions, so we won't go with you."

Having said this, Xu Shihuan deliberately leaned close to her ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"I wish Miss Gao everything she wants today."

Gao Zimo's eyes widened slightly, and then returned to their normal appearance. She stared into Xu Shihuan's eyes and said seriously:

"In that case, I wish you both have a good time today."

Deng Wanyu looked at Gao Zimo's leaving figure thoughtfully. After a while, she and Xu Shihuan whispered:

"Gao Zimo really risked his life for King Jin."

Xu Shihuan was puzzled and could only wait for her explanation. Deng Wanyu lowered her voice again and said:

"Look at her hands. Although her skin is white, there is no blood. Look at her body, every bone is clearly visible. Looking at her posture, she may have been taking the jade powder for a while."

"Jade face powder?"

Xu Shihuan was puzzled.

Before Deng Wanyu could speak, Duan Qinglian came over at some point.

"Neither the Xu family nor the Deng family have concubines, so naturally they don't know what this jade face powder is."

Jade powder was originally a banned drug in brothels. Duan Qinglian didn't know the specific ingredients. She only knew that it contained a small amount of arsenic.

After taking it, women will be poisoned, lose their appetite, lose weight quickly, and look pale, thus achieving the effect of weakening the willow and helping the wind. It is highly praised by Wanhua literati.

It's a pity that although this jade powder can change a woman's appearance, it can also harm her body. If you take it for a long time, you will have a dark complexion and a lot of hair loss.

When the women in the brothel reach this point, what awaits them is the fate of death.

Duan Qinglian looked at Gao Zimo's appearance in the distance. It was the most beautiful time for her to take jade powder. But if things continue like this, she will die in less than two years.

After hearing Duan Qinglian's words, Xu Shihuan and Deng Wanyu didn't know what to say for a while. Gao Zimo studies most seriously on weekdays. Everyone thinks that she will definitely gain fame in the future and achieve great results through her own efforts.

But she didn't expect that she would now risk her life just to gain a beautiful appearance and win the man's favor.

"Duan Qinglian, why are you dressed so plainly today?"

Deng Wanyu just noticed that Duan Qinglian was not dressed up today, but was wearing a green dress. Wearing only a jade hairpin on her head, she looked rather petty, unlike her style at the golden autumn banquet.

Duan Qinglian lowered her head and smiled, shyly saying:

"The third prince asked me to wear something plain today. He was afraid that Prince Jin would take a fancy to me."

Xu Shihuan was speechless. After listening to Duan Qinglian's words just now, he thought she looked down on Gao Zimo's behavior of risking his life for a man.

Unexpectedly, she treated the third prince even worse. But Xu Shihuan also instantly understood why in her dream, the third prince and Duan Qinglian were not separated until they died.

These two are devoted to each other.
