"It seems so! She stopped in front of the door! Are we lucky enough to have tea with Miss Liu Yingxue today!?"
"Don't be stupid! Who is Miss Liu? She must go to the private room upstairs! How can she sit here with us!"
"Miss Liu is coming in!"
Someone shouted, and a group of people all moved to the corridor of the stairs, vying to look down. Even if they couldn't drink tea with the most talented woman in the capital, they could still take a close look at her face as she passed by. beautiful!
Zhuxuan looked at the surging posture of the crowd, and the dissatisfaction in her heart surged up again, and even Liu Yingxue, whom she had never met before, became disgusted.
"Let's go. Don't run into her from the other side of the stairs." Xia Luotong suddenly stood up and greeted Zhuxuan, "Pay attention to her appearance and remember."
Zhuxuan was stunned. Although she didn't know why her master wanted to leave suddenly, she still followed him without saying a word.
As for who that "she" refers to, it is naturally Liu Yingxue.
The master and servant quietly walked around to the stairs on the other side without attracting anyone's attention. At this time, the guests on the second floor of the teahouse were all focused on Liu Yingxue, who had just entered the door.
Calmly, Xia Luotong passed by Liu Yingxue. Across the crowd, Xia Luotong took a closer look at the former's appearance. He was indeed upright, beautiful and gentle as water.
However, under this seemingly friendly and gentle smile, she noticed something a little inconsistent.
She grew up in an environment that was like raising worms. In order to survive, she had already trained her keen senses and believed in her own instincts. Otherwise, she would never have grown up!
She walked out of the teahouse calmly, and as soon as she walked onto the street, Zhuxuan couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
"Master, why do you want to look at Miss Liu? In fact, I don't think she is prettier than you. Before, you were a pearl in the dust. Now your health is getting better day by day, and you are more and more beautiful. When you are in good health, you will definitely be amazed. The whole capital!" Zhuxuan muttered without anger, "Those people just said how ugly you are. Those words were really unpalatable, and I don't know how they came out."
Xia Luotong did not comment on Zhuxuan's praise. After all, everyone has their own preferences in appearance. For those who like Liu Yingxue's style, they will naturally think that she is extremely beautiful.
However, she had a little more expectations for the appearance of her current body.
When she first came to the Great Zhou Dynasty, she only felt that this body was sallow and thin. Although it was not ugly, it was only a little bit similar to her previous self.
However, as time went by, she continued to use medicine to detoxify and nurse herself back to health, coupled with Zhuxuan's careful dietary supplements during meals. After her health improved, her appearance began to change like a completely different person!
He is still the same person, but he seems completely different.
"Either there are people who are deliberately slandering, or people who have nothing better to do are spreading rumors." She smiled nonchalantly, "I was taken back to the capital on the first day of my marriage and kept in a small courtyard. The next day I After being sent to the palace, I was sent directly to the new house without even bowing. How many people have seen me? Not to mention these people from the market, not even the servants in the Shangshu Mansion and the Wang Mansion have seen me. People have really seen my face.”
Zhuxuan thought carefully that this was really the case, and immediately frowned: "Master, do you mean that someone is deliberately discrediting you? Otherwise, how could you be spread like this!"
"It's hard to make a conclusion yet whether it is yes or no, but if someone really does this, it must be someone who has an interest in me or the palace. Otherwise, there is no need to spend so much effort." Xia Luotong said meaningfully, "I don't even know anyone in Beijing. If I have to say that I have a grudge, it's just the Li family of Shangshu Mansion. But what's the point of her doing this? If it is to humiliate Prince An's Mansion and make Prince An become the king of Beijing. The laughing stock of others, but I am the lady of Shangshu Mansion after all, so smearing me like this is tantamount to embarrassing Xia Zhihe."
"In that case, the possibility of Mrs. Xia is not very high, so what the tea guest said before and after..." Zhuxuan paused for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "That Miss Liu?!"
"Currently, the person most likely to be hostile to you and smear you like this is Miss Liu, who is most likely to be the prince's sweetheart. After all, if you hadn't entered the prince's palace first, then she would most likely be the future one. Princess An. Moreover, after the tea guest disparaged you just now, he turned around and immediately went to praise Miss Liu. He also said that he had seen Miss Liu and the prince enter the private room chatting and laughing together. He was the one in Xianlinlou. Can you get a seat?" The more Zhuxuan analyzed it, the more she felt that this was the case.
The tea guest's expression and behavior just now were indeed very suspicious, considering how deliberate they were.
Moreover, Xianlin Tower is a famous restaurant in the capital. Not only is it extremely expensive, ordinary people cannot afford it. The most important thing is that it is very difficult to book a seat, but even those with money may not be able to get in.
But the boastful tea guest just now...
It's not that they judge people by their appearance, but their sophistication is probably not much better than when Xia Luotong first came to the Zhou Dynasty.
"Maybe, we can't trace the source of these rumors, so we can only guess." Xia Luotong nodded.
Although Prince An Wu Zechen has just returned to the capital, his status and handsome face have gradually spread throughout the capital. If his personality was not too cold and rejected people thousands of miles away, I am afraid that the ladies who admire him are not there. It’s a minority, so it’s unclear whether other admirers are trying to smear her.
"I asked you to look at Liu Yingxue just now. Did you see it clearly?" She suddenly emphasized again.
"You see clearly, Master." Zhuxuan nodded in agreement.
Xia Luotong saw the puzzled look on her face and said, "Since it is said that she is Wu Zechen's sweetheart, and Wu Zechen has indeed said personally that he has a sweetheart, then we should be more careful. If his sweetheart is really Liu Yingxue, then we should try to avoid her as much as possible unless necessary. Now we are all living in the palace, and my body has not recovered yet, so I can rest against the big tree in the palace to enjoy the cool air. Otherwise, the Li family and the people from Shangshu Mansion are afraid that none of them will make things easier for me."
"What if Miss Liu takes the initiative to trouble you?" Zhuxuan was a little worried.
"If she takes the initiative to provoke me, then I will naturally find a way to repay her." Xia Luotong smiled brightly, "Do you think your master, I am the kind of person who is easy to bully?"
Zhuxuan thought of all the things her master had tinkered with in the past two days, and saw the cunning look in that charming smile, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey! Isn't this the pheasant from last time who wanted to climb the dragon and fly to the branch?"
Suddenly, an unpleasant and insulting remark came towards him, and the delicate voice told people that he was looking for trouble.
