Chapter 478: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 34
The Sixth Prince's mother was an imperial merchant, and her family was relatively wealthy, so you can tell from the decoration of the entire mansion, with flowers in clusters and gold and splendor, and the smell of money everywhere.
The princes’ wedding tradition is to “meet the bride in the morning and go with her in the evening”. Soon, all the princes and the Sixth Prince went to pick up the bride!
Cui Xiaoxiao was not affected by the hostile looks. She ate and drank as usual, and asked Ji Fanyin about the names and families of the ladies. Then, based on what Nanny Zong Fang had told her about the network of relationships among the powerful people in the capital, she matched them one by one.
Finally, I understood who those malicious eyes were from. The first was the niece of the empress dowager, the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Lu, Lu Siyun, the second daughter of Duke Shun, Yang Ling, and the daughter of the Minister of Works, Song Shasha... These three people were all powerful, and the others were from fourth- and fifth-rank officials!
But it was strange, two of the three had already been granted marriage! Even if she ruined it, it wouldn't affect them, so what were they doing? Or if they couldn't get it, then others would want it too, and anyone who was granted to the tenth prince would be targeted?
Moreover, this is a major event in the life of the Sixth Prince. Wouldn't it offend others if they wanted to do something at this time?
If you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it!
Soon, the wedding procession came back!
Cui Xiaoxiao and the others followed the crowd and went to the gate to watch the various procedures of welcoming Huajiao! They also followed the crowd to see the bride's dowry, which was a full 128 pieces.
Now that the bride has entered the house, it’s time for lunch!
In this era, men and women can sit at the same table as important guests!
As the future concubine of Prince Jing, Cui Xiaoxiao was also lucky enough to have a seat next to the tenth prince. On his other side sat Ji Fanyin. Sandwiched between the two, her sense of security instantly exploded.
When she sat down, the gazes that fell on her became even more vicious! Cui Xiaoxiao ignored them. She looked at the 32 dishes that were laid out, and her eyes brightened!
"Xiaoxiao, please look over there!" Ji Fanyin whispered to her to look in another direction.
Cui Xiaoxiao looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a woman looking at the Tenth Prince beside her with infatuated eyes!
“Who is that?” Those guys had just figured it out, how come another one appeared?
"Xuanping Earl's legitimate daughter Zhong Ling! Be careful with her, it's a poisonous snake, she knows how to heal!" She had seen her ruin a girl's appearance with her own eyes!
It’s just that this girl has always been as elegant as a chrysanthemum, and today is the first time I see her showing her emotions, so I can’t help but worry about Cui Xiaoxiao!
"Okay! Thank you!" Cui Xiaoxiao was really grateful to the girl in front of her!
"No need to thank me between you and me!"
The two of them mostly communicated with each other through eye contact, and even when they spoke, they spoke very quietly. Even the Tenth Prince next to them did not hear what they said!
Next, it was time to enjoy the food! Ji Fanyin had always liked to feed Cui Xiaoxiao, and even the Tenth Prince next to him was infected by him! The two of them looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding. One of them fed the food, and the other observed and covered the surroundings.
So Cui Xiaoxiao was well fed by the two protectors on her left and right, and it felt pretty good to be pampered like this!
After lunch, the men had their own activities and the women had their own fun, so they separated. Cui Xiaoxiao secretly became more alert and observed more carefully with her mental power.
Soon they learned of their plan. Yang Ling and Sha Sha saw that Lu Siyun was prepared today, so they immediately suspended their plans. They would wait and see how I would deal with it before making plans. They would take advantage of the situation when necessary.
These people had been competing secretly before, but now they are united and facing the outside world!
Lu Siyun has the highest status among them, and acts most directly and ruthlessly, because no matter what she does, there will always be someone to clean up the mess for her, and at worst there is still the Empress Dowager in the palace!
Based on the conversation between the few people and Ji Fanyin's reminder, Cui Xiaoxiao also understood that Lu Siyun was not a person who had so many tricks. She would mostly just beat people up or destroy them when she got the chance!
Because they were of similar age and had spent more time with the princes in the palace, they picked the tenth prince. They always treated him as their own property, so even if the two liked the tenth prince, they did not dare to show it openly.
After Cui Xiaoxiao learned about this situation, she also knew that if she confronted this person head-on, no matter whether she won or lost, she would not gain anything, but would instead get into a lot of trouble.
After figuring it out, she immediately decided to strike first, so that she would be the least suspected!
She and Ji Fanyin have been hanging out together. They went together to appreciate flowers, watch a play, and listen to storytelling. Some people who were interested were also watching and waited, but they didn't get the chance to make a move!
While Cui Xiaoxiao was using the toilet in the house, she immediately flashed into the space and quickly cast an invisibility talisman on herself, then used teleportation to immediately rush to Lu Siyun's location. At this time, she was waiting for news!
And there are people watching the progress here in the open and in the dark!
While she was impatient to drink tea, he threw a pill into her mouth! After watching her swallow it, he returned to the toilet!
After Cui Xiaoxiao came out of the toilet, she took Ji Fanyin and walked towards the crowded places. Try to be under the eyes of many people during this period!
Despite this, she has been using her mental power to observe the situation over there!
After seeing the effect of the medicine, I felt completely relieved.
When Lu Siyun felt unwell, she became speechless for a moment, fell off the chair, and then fell into a coma.
The servants around her were all shocked and called out quickly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" "Miss, Miss" Some even ran to call for a doctor in a hurry!
When the people observing outside sensed that something was wrong inside, they immediately went to check the situation!
Seeing that Lu Siyun was lying on the ground, they all went to report to their master.
When Song Shasha got the news, she thought this was the best opportunity to frame Cui Xiaoxiao! She even thought about doing something to Lu Siyun, so that she could kill her directly, thus killing two birds with one stone!
Thinking of this, she immediately arranged things. After all, time was tight and she couldn't afford to think too much!
She had someone knock out the two people who had called for the doctor first, and then asked the spies around Lu Siyun to calm down the servants around her. After all, if the servants didn't serve well and got sick, all the servants would be punished.
They said that if they called Cui Xiaoxiao over and put the blame of Lu Siyun's fainting on her, they might be able to avoid punishment.
Arrange someone to invite Cui Xiaoxiao, even if she has to be knocked unconscious or tied up. Also bring the medicine prepared to deal with Cui Xiaoxiao to see if she can drink it.
