At this time, Jiu Qingzi flew away from the back mountain with Fufeng.
When Tao Yaoyao saw it, she subconsciously wanted to chase him. Xiao Shuo stopped her and said, "You are no match for their master and apprentice. Besides... I believe King Dingbei, maybe he has other plans."
In that battle half a year ago, King Dingbei was among them. It is said that the team he led suffered the heaviest losses at that time...
Others say that King Dingbei's current dull temperament is inseparable from that battle.
Although Xiao Shuo didn't know what exactly happened at that time, he could tell that no one wanted to see Fufeng subdue the law more than him in this matter.
But for him, he actually chose to let him go just now and let Jiu Qingzi deal with Fufeng. He should know something.
After Zhang Jing regained consciousness in his hands and feet, the four of them went down the mountain.
Back in Kyoto City, when Xiao Shuo and Tao Yaoyao separated, he kindly reminded her, "Although I know your difficulties, getting married is a big deal. I hope you won't act hastily."
After saying that, Xiao Shuo turned around and entered the Yamen.
Tao Yaoyao looked at his back and felt more and more that she was a good character, but it was a pity that others looked down upon her.
Xiao Shuo's option was eliminated, then she would have to be exclusively for Xie Fei.
I hope he won't be so decisive.
"Miss, it's noon, let's go back home for dinner." Qiu Gui had been frightened all morning, and now she just wanted to go home quickly and be a good little maid.
However, she wanted to go home, but her young lady didn't.
"Do you know where the officials of the Hanlin Academy have lunch?"
Qiu Gui shook his head, "But the master's food is delivered personally by the servants in the mansion every day. The master seems to have said that the yamen don't care about food."
In other words, the officials of the Hanlin Academy were either sent there by people from the government, or they went out to eat?
Tao Yaoyao thought of how to get close to Xie Fei.
"Come on, let's go eat."
A quarter of an hour later, Tao Yaoyao took Qiu Gui to the restaurant next to the Hanlin Academy. At this time, the restaurant was full of people. If you look closely, there are indeed people who are wearing official clothes.
Tao Yaoyao's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he quickly found someone in the lobby.
Not long after, she actually found Xie Fei in the corner.
"Qiu Gui, you go and order. I'll go over and wait."
Tao Yaoyao pretended to be the one who shared the table. After sitting down, she racked her brains to find a topic to talk to Xie Fei. Who knows, when the words came to her mouth and she was about to speak, a black shadow appeared in front of her eyes. When she looked up, she suddenly Dark face.
"You are everywhere, so you shouldn't be following me."
Forget about what happened in the morning, now that she has come to such a remote place, how can he follow her. She didn't even believe that he wasn't stalking her.
"You are so sentimental." Xie Lan sneered and turned around, "If you don't want to die, just come with me."
Tao Yaoyao stood still. Seeing this, Xie Lan frowned, "Why, have you really lived enough?"
Tao Yaoyao was so angry that she walked around him and left the restaurant.
After he came out, he said angrily, "Are you mentally ill? I just came to the restaurant to have a meal, why do you want to die? Don't you want to eat?"
Also, Mr. Xie is your brother after all, but you don’t even say hello when you meet him. Even if you are a prince, you can’t behave like this in front of your relatives. "
Something was very wrong with Xie Lan today. If she had said that to him normally, he would have turned around and left long ago, but now, although he was angry, he had no intention of leaving.
Tao Yaoyao felt strange, "What's wrong with you, but you are still worried about what happened just now..."
"Tao Yaoyao, are you crazy about getting married?"
"What did you say?" Tao Yaoyao looked at him with a livid face, "Say it again. Xie Lan, I regard you as a friend. Seeing that you are in a bad mood, I don't care about what happened just now. Why are you still scolding me? ah.
You are crazy about wanting to get married. You're an asshole. I never want to see you again. "
Tao Yaoyao turned around angrily and got on the carriage. Qiu Gui saw this scene when she came out, so she quickly climbed into the carriage and left.
Chang Geng stood aside and saw that his master's face was uglier than before, so he kindly reminded him, "Master, you can't talk to this girl like this. I know what you mean, but Miss Tao doesn't know..."
Xie Lan glared at him, and Chang Geng quickly shut up.
On the other side, Tao Yaoyao was still angry until she returned to the other courtyard. She went back to the house to sleep without even eating lunch, but she lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, thinking about what Xie Lan just said.
What does he mean?
Do you have a crush on her?
Are you jealous when you see her approaching other men?
After carefully thinking about Xie Lan's expression just now, I felt that she was being sentimental, but if he didn't like her, why did he say that?
Xie Lan didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but he was clearly reminding her of something just now.
What did he want to say?
If you get close to Xie Fei, you will die, so there is something wrong with Xie Fei?
But Fifth Brother will not harm him...
That's not right. Fifth brother has been at the border for several years and has only been back for a few days. Xie Fei has changed his temper in a few years. My cousin must not know.
But Xie Lan has also been to the border for many years, so he may not really understand Xie Fei.
In the end, Tao Yaoyao was so overwhelmed with thoughts that she couldn't figure out a result, and finally gave up.
Two days later, on the day of Wang Mei's birthday banquet, Aunt Zhao brought Tao Yanyan to Tao Yaoyao's residence early and reminded Tao Yaoyao and others to take Tao Yanyan with them when they entered the palace.
"Don't worry, Aunt Zhao, I will never forget this."
Aunt Zhao originally thought that Tao Yaoyao would have to embarrass them several times before agreeing. Who knew that she agreed so readily today? Aunt Zhao felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Then...then I'll take your sister to the front yard to wait for you. Don't be in a hurry. You can eat slowly."
After Aunt Zhao took Tao Yanyan out, Qiu Gui said with a smile, "If the second lady sees the situation at the door later, I'm afraid she won't be able to laugh anymore."
Tao Yaoyao didn't take it seriously. After finishing the last bun, she wiped her mouth and got up and took Qiu Gui to the front yard. Tao Yanyan stepped forward reluctantly after seeing her.
Unexpectedly, Tao Yaoyao bypassed her and went to the door as if he didn't see her. Seeing this, Tao Yanyan almost broke his back molar.
"Mom, look at her. If you don't know better, you would think that she is the most powerful in the Tao family. What's there to say? Such a good marriage is gone. I want to see what she can do to show off when she enters the palace."
Aunt Zhao didn't like Tao Yaoyao either, but this time the palace gave her an invitation. If Tao Yaoyao didn't take Tao Yanyan with her, they wouldn't be able to enter the palace at all.
So I can bear this tone for the time being.
"After entering the palace, be careful and take care of yourself."
Aunt Zhao was worried that Tao Yanyan had been sent to the gate. When mother and daughter saw the carriages lined up at the gate, they were stunned.
"What's going on? There are only two ladies in the palace entering the palace. Even if the eldest lady doesn't like to squeeze in with the second lady, two carriages are enough. Why are there three carriages?"
Tao Yaoyao was standing in front of the carriage at the front and was talking to Qiu Gui. Hearing the words, he looked back.
When the housekeeper saw this, he quickly stepped forward to explain, "Aunt Zhao misunderstood. There are more than two young ladies entering the palace today."
"What?" Tao Yanyan frowned, "What do you mean?"
This time, before the housekeeper could speak, someone in the carriage behind raised the curtain. Tao Yun'er, the third daughter of the Tao family, saw that Tao Yanyan was not coming over and quickly waved to her.
"Second sister, the eldest sister said it's getting late, so we need to set off quickly."
Tao Yanyan looked at Tao Yaoyao angrily, but Tao Yaoyao didn't seem to notice and got on the carriage directly.
Aunt Zhao found out that Tao Yun'er was not alone in the carriage behind her and quickly asked the housekeeper.
"The eldest lady said that it is a rare opportunity to enter the palace. We are all sisters in the same family. It is not good for her to enter the palace. The younger sisters can only watch, so I asked my servants to prepare the clothes and jewelry of several ladies early."
What?
Is Tao Yaoyao going to bring the other three concubines of the Tao family into the palace today?
What should she do next?
"Second sister, does she dislike her own sisters?"
Tao Yaoyao smiled and said, "In that case, let's go."
"Who said I'm not going?" Tao Yanyan said and went to the last carriage. Seeing this, Tao Qianqian asked in confusion, "Second sister, what are you doing in that carriage?"
Tao Yanyan made a joke again, and she was so angry that she glared at Tao Yaoyao fiercely.
"Second sister didn't deliberately go wrong. She clearly didn't want to be in a carriage with us. It's just a pity. Even if Aunt Zhao is favored again, there are still other things to do with the legitimate concubines.
Otherwise, why would she go to beg the eldest sister so early? "
After Tao Yuner finished speaking, he deliberately covered his mouth and smiled.
Tao Yanyan was so angry that he glared at her. If it were normal times, Tao Yun'er would have shut up a long time ago, but Tao Yaoyao had come to see her before going out today, so she felt that she had someone to support her now. Naturally, I am no longer afraid of Tao Yanyan.
When Tao Qianqian saw something was wrong, she quickly pulled her and Tao Yun'er shut up.
"Miss, you are so awesome. How did you come up with this idea? I think it's funny now that I think about Miss Er's face just now."
Qiu Gui has been in the Tao family for so long, and this is the first time she feels so relieved.
She really likes the current lady more and more.
I also hope that the lady can always be like this.
It's not that the young lady in the past was bad, but the young lady now is better.
How should I put it, a little more popular. Unlike before, she didn't react to anyone who bullied her, and she was worried for her.
"Some people just can't recognize their own identity. Since I am the eldest sister, I naturally have the obligation to help the younger sisters below understand the reality. So that I don't have to say something about what I have or what I don't have in the future."
Tao Yaoyao was in a good mood today. After reading the painting book, she opened the curtain and looked outside for a while. She didn't lower the curtain until the carriage came to the palace gate.
"There are so many family members entering the palace today. Thanks to eldest sister, otherwise I may never have the chance to enter the palace in my life."
Tao Yuner never forgets to fawn over Tao Yaoyao.
Tao Yaoyao stood aside, smiling and saying nothing.
When Tao Yanyan saw this, his mouth was so pouted that he could hang an oil can. But in order to enter the palace, she must endure it.
"The palace door is open."
