Sun Fanger watched her stand up, her face very gloomy. That's right, if she used two layers of skin, the inner layer would be moisturized by the skin's temperature, and the outer layer would be windproof, she could indeed hold out for another hour. How could she not think of such a simple method
She felt very uncomfortable. She thought she was smart and relied on her intelligence. When she found out that there was another woman who was smarter than her, she felt very uncomfortable.
Why was she inferior to Xia Zian in every aspect? Such a well-arranged plan was ruined by Xia Zian's easy trick.
As a result, she was scolded by the prince for a long time.
As for the assassin's death, she had thought it through clearly. The assassin did not die at the hands of King Nan Huai, but must have died at the hands of Xia Zian, because she could not let the assassin betray King Nan Huai.
After returning to Qingning Pavilion, Sun Fanger told the noble concubine and Prince Nan Huai about her double-facedness. Prince Nan Huai laughed at her on the spot, "Sun Fanger, you think you are smart, but you are not even as good as Xia Zian. No wonder you were kicked out of the Sun family."
Sun Fang'er seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of insults from King Nan Huai. She did not refute, but silently endured all kinds of harsh and ugly insults.
It was the Noble Concubine who spoke up to help Sun Fang'er, "Okay, Fang'er, how did you know that Xia Zi'an was so cunning? She has done a good job."
In fact, the noble concubine was not satisfied with Sun Fang'er's miscalculation this time. She thought that Sun Fang'er should have thought of this aspect, and now two assassins were wasted in vain.
However, she could not help King Nan Huai to blame her, as she understood the principle of using both kindness and severity.
Nan Huai Wang stood up coldly and said, "Forget it. I don't want to say too much to you. You should think about it. If you make a mistake again, I won't let you stay by my side."
After saying that, he turned away coldly.
Sun Fanger stood up and bowed, "Aunt, Fanger will take her leave."
"Fang'er!" The noble concubine took her hand and said gently, "Don't blame the prince. Things have been going on for so long without any progress, so he is naturally anxious. You are someone close to him, so please be more considerate of him."
Sun Fanger nodded, her face calm, "Fanger knows, Fanger understands."
"You are a good child. Go buy some jewelry and dress up. You will soon become the Princess of Nanhuai, but you are even more elegant than a maid." The noble concubine said as she handed her a silver note.
Sun Fang'er thanked him and went out with the banknote.
When she reached the yard, she unfolded the banknote: fifty taels.
She smiled sarcastically. What jewelry could a princess wear with fifty taels? It was nothing more than something to send off a maid.
"This world is so big, is there no place for me, Sun Fang'er, to stay?" Sun Fang'er murmured. The north wind ruffled her hair. Her thoughts became more and more confused. She didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong.
She has always wanted to make a difference and let the Sun family and Murong Jie see that she, Sun Fang'er, is not a mediocre person.
But after following King Nan Huai for so many years, although he valued her, he never treated her well.
She didn't know whether she should continue to follow him.
After marrying him, her greatest achievement could only be an unpopular princess. Even if he conquered the country in the future, he would not enthrone her as queen. In his heart, there was always only Rouyao, even though Rouyao had been married once.
She has so much on her mind that she has no way to express it, and she has no friends.
She went out alone and found a tavern, wanting to get drunk, but she didn't dare to do so. As a strategist, she had to stay sober at all times.
Even if it hurts, stay awake.
I ordered a pot of osmanthus wine, smelled the aroma of the wine, took a sip, and looked at the bustling street outside the window.
A familiar figure walked by. It was Rouyao. She was holding a lot of things. Walking with her was Su Qing, the young master of the Su family.
In fact, she envied Rouyao very much. She was not envious of her being favored in the mansion. Rouyao was the legitimate daughter and would definitely be favored more than her. What she envied Rouyao was that she could easily love someone and easily forget someone.
Why is it so difficult for her? She can't forget the person she should forget.
The two of them stood at the door, seemingly about to come in, but Rouyao saw her and pulled Su Qing away, with a look of disgust on her face.
Sun Fang'er sneered. If you don't recognize me as your sister, do I have to recognize you
"Can I sit down, Miss Sun?"
A clear voice came from behind. Sun Fanger turned around and saw a woman with a bright smile standing behind her. She recognized her. Although she had never dealt with her before, she was a famous person.
"Manager Hu, please sit down!" Sun Fang'er said lightly.
The person who came was Hu Huanxi. She had just finished meeting with a client and came down from the private room upstairs. She saw Sun Fang'er sitting alone by the window. She also saw Rouyao and Su Qing walking by.
Hu Huanxi sat down, took the wine pot and smelled it, then said with a smile: "Osmanthus wine? I thought Miss Sun would like stronger wine."
"I don't like wine!" Sun Fang'er had an attitude that kept people at a distance, but she did not object to Hu Huanxi sitting down. She thought vaguely in her heart that perhaps it would be nice to have someone sitting next to her, no matter if it was a man or a woman, it would be nice to have someone.
"Drink a little occasionally." Hu Huanxi asked someone to bring a cup and poured it out. The wine aged with osmanthus was yellowish-brown in color and rather turbid, and not top quality.
She took a sip and said, "I made some wine myself. I'll invite Miss Sun to my house for a couple of drinks some other day."
Sun Fang'er sneered, "You know who I am, right?"
"I know, Sun Fang'er, the counselor beside King Nan Huai." Hu Huanxi said frankly.
"Then you should know that Xia Zian and I are enemies." Sun Fang'er's voice was still cold, and her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Hu Huanxi smiled and said, "I don't ask about those things."
"Then what is your purpose in sitting down?" Sun Fang'er asked directly.
Hu Huanxi drank another glass of wine, his expression was not as bright as before, but a little hazy, "I don't know, maybe he wants to find someone to accompany him."
"You want to find someone to accompany you, how many people can accompany you? Why look for me?" Sun Fang'er didn't believe it at all. "I know your purpose of approaching me very well. If you hope to get something out of me, you will be disappointed. Besides, everyone knows that I know the art of witchcraft. Aren't you afraid that I will cast a spell on you?"
Hu Huanxi shook his head. "I don't know. Who isn't afraid? Everyone is afraid of and hates witchcraft. Just like me, Hu Huanxi, who in the Hu family doesn't hate me? Who dares to get close to me? I have many friends, including Zi'an, Princess, Liu Liu, Rou Yao, Xiao Tuo, Su Qingye and King, they are all my friends."
She said, and smiled bitterly, "But, can you tell some things to those respectable people? Only you know what's in your heart."
Sun Fang'er raised her head and looked at Hu Huanxi, her eyes judging, as if trying to determine the truth in her words.
Hu Huanxi also looked up at her, "You don't have to look at me. You and I have no conflict of interest. I never get involved in political affairs. Your fight to the death is your business."
"Then there is really no need for you to sit down. If your friends see you sitting next to me, they will think there is some kind of collusion between you and me." Sun Fang'er said slowly.
