Yong Ruo has always wanted to live a more relaxed life, and has been trying to avoid falling into a passive situation where he is surrounded by enemies.
But now, people who are hostile to her have already lived in less than half of the British palace. Princess Xing'an, Madam Du, mother and daughter and the mastermind behind it (probably Concubine Shen), Cousin Liu...
When encountering a powerful enemy on a narrow road, there are roughly three solutions.
One is to defeat the enemy and walk over the enemy's corpse; the other is to beat or scare the enemy away, and continue walking easily; the third is to fool the enemy into one of our own, and let the enemy bow down to his own bastard as a younger brother , turn around and follow yourself.
Knocking your enemies to the ground and stepping on them 10,000 feet, of course, is a lot of fun. Walking easily after running away the enemy is also a high-quality choice worth pursuing.
But neither of these two options is as subversive and fulfilling as fooling the enemy into one of your own. Think about it: Invincible Mouth Cannon not only solves the enemy, but also enhances one's own strength, how desirable it is!
Of course, the benefit is directly proportional to the difficulty.
It is far more difficult to fool the enemy into your younger brother than the previous two options. Moreover, not every enemy is suitable for fooling around and being a younger brother.
Concubine Shen, Princess Xing'an, and Cousin Liu are all direct or collateral blood relatives of Feng Liao.
From the point of view of profit and loss, it is the most beneficial to lure them over to be younger brothers. However, this is basically an impossible task, and she is not willing to accept such younger brothers.
Considering Feng Liao's position and mood, she is not suitable for the first strategy. The rest, there is only the second option, and this is extremely difficult.
The difficulty of customs clearance is so high, if it was a month ago, she might have given up directly. But now, she couldn't bear it! I can't bear Fengliao...
Yong Ruo tossed and turned on the bed like pancakes for a long time, thinking about it, the bits and pieces between her and Feng Liao kept flashing in her mind, those sweet, intimate, innocent and beautiful memories...
She propped one hand on the pillow, supported her head with her hand, and looked at Feng Liao's hazy silhouette through the dim light through the curtain, with a sweet and helpless smile hanging on the corner of her mouth. The benefits in this world will not be taken up by one person!
In her relationship with Feng Liao, she had been relatively negative before, and she didn't want to work hard to win or improve anything, and she was ready to be broken up at any time.
But now, she wants to be more active!
She wanted to extend the fate between her and Feng Liao as long as possible.
In this way, when she loses Feng Liao, she won't feel regret for her inaction.
When Yong Ruo was thinking about how to deal with Princess Xing'an, he suddenly found that Feng Liao beside him began to stiffen and tremble, talking vaguely in his sleep, obviously falling into a nightmare.
"Rong Shen, wake up! Rong Shen..." She took Feng Liao's hand and shook him, trying to get him out of the nightmare as soon as possible.
Feng Liao struggled violently twice, her eyes suddenly opened. Under the dim light, he looked at Yong Ruo, then looked around, and began to breathe heavily...
"Ruoruo..." Feng Liao called her hoarsely, sat up suddenly, and hugged her, "Ruoruo, I'm having a nightmare again!" There was a bit of crying in her voice.
"What did you dream about?" Yong Ruo asked softly.
"I... I dreamed again... I dreamed that I was mad at my mother and concubine again!" Feng Liao's voice trembled slightly, and the crying sound became more pronounced, "Mother and concubine vomited blood all over her body, and she died with regret. Second brother, sister, uncle emperor , the emperor's aunt, and many other people called me an unfilial son, unworthy of being a descendant of the Feng family... "
As she spoke, Feng Liao shed tears. Cool tears dripped on Yong Ruo's shoulders, soaking her shirt.
Yong Ruo secretly sighed: It seems that Feng Liao was so stimulated yesterday that she actually had this nightmare again.
Nightmares are often a person's deepest fear. Feng Liao... the mental pressure is too great!
"Ruo Ruo, I don't want to be at the mercy of my concubine, but I'm very afraid that the nightmare will come true, and I'm afraid that I will really piss my concubine to death... If that's the case, what face do I have to live?"
"Don't worry! There won't be such a day, I promise you."
The next day, all the female family members of Prince Ying's Mansion went to visit Princess Xing'an, and even Feng Liao's brother-in-law who had already opened another mansion - Pingjun Wang Fengkuan and his wife hurried over.
Yong Ruo also followed the crowd to report to Shou'an Hall. It's just that Princess Xing'an is in a bad mood and doesn't really want to see anyone. Only Concubine Shen, Prince Ying, and Princess Ying entered her house, and the rest stood in the yard waiting.
Pingjun Wang Fengkuan was only slightly older than Prince Ying's Fengshi, in his early thirties, gentle and handsome, wearing a nearly new regular uniform of a county king.
Princess Pingjun looks like a very gentle and dignified woman, with a big belly, she is more than five months pregnant.
While waiting in the courtyard of Shou'an Hall, Concubine Pingjun looked at Yongruo with a smile: "This is Yongmei, right? I have heard of you a long time ago, but I have never seen you before."
Feng Liao cupped her hands and said with a smile: "The good sister-in-law learned that the Yong family has been conferred the title of Mrs. Hengjun Wang, which was conferred just yesterday."
Concubine Pingjun immediately smiled and said: "Congratulations to Mrs. Yong! You got the imperial seal in less than a month. I think it took a lot of effort for the third brother. You must be the person who the third brother likes very much."
Prince Pingjun also laughed and teased Feng Liao: "Third brother is finally enlightened now. When we talk about Fengyue in the future, we don't have to avoid you; you can't evade the banquet in my mansion anymore! Haha..."
Su side concubine of the British Prince and Mrs. Chen of the British Prince also came to congratulate Yong Ruo, with a slightly sour tone. When the mother and daughter of the Liu family congratulated Yong Ruo, there was nothing unusual in their expressions.
Concubine Lin just nodded to Yong Ruo with a smile, which was regarded as congratulations.
Feng Liao smiled and said: "Let's talk about these things later! Let's be quiet now, don't disturb my sister to rest."
Everyone stopped talking and waited quietly.
After a while, I saw Concubine Shen, Prince Ying, and Princess Ying coming out of Princess Xing'an's house, as well as a group of maids and women.
Concubine Shen looked at Yong Ruo's expression, with a bit of disgust in her indifference: "Yong Shi, the county magistrate sees you. After you go in, answer carefully, don't make her angry, so as not to affect her injury! Understand?" In her tone , full of pressure.
Yong Ruo bowed slightly and said, "Yes!"
The key point is: it is a little difficult for Princess Xing'an not to get angry when she sees her! Alas, she originally thought that based on how Princess Xing'an viewed her, she would not see her, but she didn't expect that Princess Xing'an would simply invite her in to talk. Is it for demonstration? Say harsh words? Framed
Feng Liao held Yong Ruo's hand worriedly, not knowing whether to let her in or not.
Yong Ruo gave him a comforting smile, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry! I know what to do."
She took a deep breath and walked slowly towards Princess Xing'an's house. Thinking in his heart: It is temporarily impossible to fool Princess Xing'an into limping, but to divert her attention, can it be done
In the inner room, Princess Xing'an lay weakly on the bed, her face was not covered with makeup, her eye sockets were swollen, there were fine lines around her eyes, and her entire face was bloodless. A girl in green bijia stood beside the bed.
"Aren't you happy to see me in such a mess?" Princess Xin'an said coldly after meeting Yongruo.
"No, I'm not happy at all." Yong Ruo said very sincerely. I wish for a happy marriage for you. I'm so busy with my husband every day, I don't have time to trouble me.
"You think I'll believe it?"
"Why should I lie to you?"
"I smashed your house, don't you hate me? Don't want to see me unlucky?"
"I only live in the house, it doesn't belong to me. The things in the house are only used by me. I can't give those things to others, nor can I take them out for money, and they can't be regarded as mine. You break Entering a house that doesn't belong to me, smashing things that don't belong to me, why should I hate you?"
Princess Xing'an was stunned, and asked sarcastically, "You really don't hate me?"
"real!"
"But I hate you!" Princess Xing'an gritted her teeth and said viciously.
Yong Ruo nodded, and said calmly: "I know you hate me. But what's the reason? It's just because I didn't die, and my mother didn't die, that you want to hate me, which is too unreasonable." Come on!"
Now that Princess Xing'an has calmed down, she felt that it was necessary to test it out to see if the Three Views of the Princess Princess could be saved.
Princess Xing'an looked at Yong Ruo quietly for a long time before saying: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, don't you know?"
"The princess is not a king."
"But my uncle is the king! This princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, a son of a dragon and a phoenix grandson, born with honor." The princess of Xing'an raised her chin and said proudly, "The people I hate the most in my life are those of you who come from humble backgrounds but refuse Keeping one's own law and order, relying on one's good looks, jumping into the nest of wealth and wealth by climbing a man's thigh! A bastard from a humble background dares to snatch the honor and favor of his wife. Isn't this an act of robbers? Isn't it hateful? Isn't it? Damn?"
"The princess thinks, how to get rich if you are born as a woman?"
"Wealth is born. Is it something that people from humble backgrounds should worry about?"
Yong Ruo actually felt speechless. In the eyes of this princess, if you were born humble, you should be humble all your life, and always be a cow and a horse for them who are "born noble". Is this the only way to keep yourself safe
That's right, how can those with vested interests tolerate the latecomers jumping out to share their profits
"The imperial court's opening of the imperial examination to select scholars is also to give people from poor backgrounds the opportunity to serve the imperial court and have the opportunity to fight for wealth and honor. Does the princess not agree?"
"The imperial examination is the imperial examination, and being a concubine is being a concubine. Don't mix these two things together. A bitch like you deserves to be compared with a man in the imperial examination? Haven't you read "The Commandments for Women?"
Yong Ruo thought: I have read it, but I don't like that book at all. And you don't look like someone who was brainwashed by "The Commandments of Women"! Otherwise, how could you have done those things in the Yang family and made Yang Jingyue so decisive
She recalled the look on the face of Princess Xing'an when she said the words just now, it didn't seem like she said something against her will.
So basically it can be judged that Princess Xing'an's real thoughts are: the status and interests of a "born honorable" person like her are sacred and inviolable; It is an unforgivable crime for a lowly woman to try to achieve a class transition by being a concubine.
Very obvious egoism!
Yong Ruo is very sure: there are irreconcilable contradictions between her and Princess Xing'an in terms of positions and opinions, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.
"What is the princess planning?"
Princess Xin'an smiled strangely: "Let me make a bet with you!"
"What bet?"
"Bet on how long you can live." Princess Xing'an said quietly, "Didn't that bastard Taoist say: Your fate is precious, and the five elements are complete, can you turn bad luck into good luck, and bring good luck when you die? I want to see, he Is it true? If something happens to you at a young age and you haven’t enjoyed the blessings for a long time, wouldn’t it prove that the Taoist priest was just talking nonsense? Wouldn’t it prove that I did nothing wrong, the so-called Chongxi was just a nonsense? !"
Yong Ruo's expression did not change at all, and he asked very calmly: "How much is the Princess willing to bet on, and how long will I be able to live?"
Princess Xing'an didn't expect that she would not change her expression, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I'll pay you five hundred taels of silver, and I bet you won't live until next year."
Yongruo glanced at Princess Xin'an, is she so sure that she will kill herself within a year? Shaking his head: "I bet five taels of silver that I will definitely live until tomorrow next year."
The owner of Xing'an County sneered: "Five taels of silver? Thanks to you, you can afford it."
"No way, I'm poor!"
"Five taels is five taels." Princess Xin'an said proudly, "I don't expect this to get rich. The five taels of silver won will be bought into paper money and burned to you! By the way, I will also give you a basket of firecrackers. The Princess personally took it and put it on your grave."
Yong Ruo shook his head: "I think the Princess probably won't win."
Princess Xing'an laughed coldly: "Let's wait and see!"
"I'll wait and see."
Yong Ruo is not afraid of Princess Xing'an dealing with her, but she is afraid of Princess Xing'an dealing with the Zhou family, Yong Qiao, and Yong Miao. They are definitely not as strong as her.
If Princess Xing'an is willing to target herself, that would be great!
However, in order to prevent Princess Xing'an's firepower from being too concentrated and unable to resist, she had to divert her attention again.
"Princess, I don't understand one thing: the Yang family and the Yong family have already divorced, and they have nothing to do with each other. Who is so boring and told Mrs. Yang about the Yong family?"
Princess Xing'an trembled all over, and said in a daze: "You... what did you say?"
Yong Ruo walked over, gently held the hand of Princess Xing'an, and asked with feigned concern: "Princess, what's wrong with you? Your face has changed, and your hands are also cold..."
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1500 system points! The points balance is 4870 points."
Just as Yong Ruo took out the sterilization medicine in the main body of Xing'an County, the Xing'an County Lord suddenly grabbed his hands: "What did you say? Say it again!"
"I said: Who is so boring and told Mrs. Yang about the Yong family?" Yong Ruo said relaxedly, "If Mrs. Yang didn't know about the Yong family, she wouldn't have checked Wu's birth date. The matter will not be revealed, and the princess and Yang Shizi will not come to where they are today, and the princess and I will live a little easier. Has the princess not thought about this problem?"
Princess Xing'an stayed there.
