Jing Xuan Plotted
She already knew that Concubine Xiao was up to no good!
But she didn't expect that her evil heart would be this bad!
Ji Yunshu lowered her gaze and sat calmly, as if she had ignored Concubine Xiao's words.
She didn't answer or respond.
"Teacher Ji, is there a problem?" Concubine Xiao saw her hesitation and raised her silkworm eyebrows.
Her words were clearly filled with ill intentions.
A woman at the banquet also echoed, "Could it be that Teacher is deliberately hiding his appearance because he is ugly? But I can see that half of Teacher's face exudes a heroic aura. Naturally, you are a handsome man. "
The people of ancient times really liked to flatter others!
Ji Yunshu raised her eyelids and looked at the woman. She had a rosy complexion, and her lips were like rouge. She could be considered delicate and pretty, but unfortunately, it couldn't hide her eyes that looked down on everything.
"Miss, you think too highly of me. I am but a commoner. No matter how good this half of my face is, it can't make up for the deformity of the other half."
"Teacher, do you mean that the other half of your face is deformed?"
"Yes!"
She answered honestly!
The woman immediately tilted her head and raised her embroidered hand to touch the tip of her nose. She frowned.
She revealed a look of disgust!
Ji Yunshu took in the woman's movements and expression. She couldn't help but smile contemptuously.
Although it was rouge, it was a box of vulgar powder!
Concubine Xiao glanced at her and interrupted, "Teacher's appearance can be seen at a glance after you take off your mask. Among the young ladies at the banquet, if Teacher takes a fancy to any of them, I will act as a matchmaker for you."
Ji Yunshu cupped her hands, intending to refuse, "This commoner …"
Without waiting for her to speak, Concubine Xiao waved her sleeve and interrupted her. "Teacher, please don't decline."
She was really overbearing!
Ji Yunshu was very clear that at this moment, she was like a bird in a cage. She could only let Concubine Xiao's bamboo stick wantonly pick and choose.
Forget it, if they want to see, then let them see!
Perhaps after these rouge girls saw her appearance, they would all be scared half to death. This was also a good thing!
She nodded and swept a glance at the banquet.
"Since all the young ladies want to see, and Concubine Xiao has given the order, I will take off this mask."
Concubine Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
However, the corners of her lips curled up as she watched Ji Yunshu lift her fingers and place them on the half of the golden mask. She bent her knuckles and used a bit of force to lift the mask.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the scene.
Everyone was looking forward to it!
He longed for it very much!
Little by little, Ji Yunshu's face was revealed. Just then —
"Mother!"
Jing Xuan lifted the hem of her new dress and ran in as if she was flying.
Thus, Ji Yunshu put back the mask she had yet to completely remove on her face. She sat there quietly.
Everyone sighed in disappointment.
"Xuan 'er? Why are you here? "Concubine Xiao asked with a twisted expression.
"I heard from the palace servants that Lady Mother is holding a banquet in the main hall and has invited the young ladies of the capital. I also want to come and join in the fun."
"This banquet has nothing to do with you. You can leave now," Concubine Xiao said sternly.
Jing Xuan acted as if nothing had happened. She looked at Ji Yunshu and immediately became spirited. She happily walked to her side.
"Ah, so Teacher Ji is also here," he said with a smile.
Ji Yunshu stood up and cupped her hands. "Princess."
"There is no need to be so polite between us." She pulled the hem of Ji Yunshu's clothes and pressed her body against it. She pouted and complained, "Lady Mother is too much. She didn't even tell me that Teacher was here. If I knew you were coming, I would have gone to the palace gates to welcome you."
This …
Ji Yunshu was sweating.
He wanted to pull his sleeve back from Jing Xuan's grip, but Jing Xuan held on tightly and refused to let go.
Pa!
Seeing this, Concubine Xiao fiercely slammed her hand on the gold-lacquered ivory chair and angrily stood up.
"Servants, take the Princess away."
"Yes!"
A palace servant stepped forward and pulled Jing Xuan away.
Jing Xuan turned around and pushed the servant away. She stubbornly said to Concubine Xiao, "Lady Mother, why can't I come to this banquet? I haven't seen Teacher for a long time. If Lady Mother doesn't allow me to stay, I will take Teacher to the rear hall. "
"Nonsense. As a princess, how can you say such shameful words?" Concubine Xiao's tone was harsh.
"I have always been like this. If I have something to say, I will speak frankly. Since Lady Mother is hosting a banquet, I will not disturb you."
Finished speaking, Jing Xuan pulled Ji Yunshu out of the hall.
"Xuan 'er!"
Ignoring Concubine Xiao's reprimand, Jing Xuan quickly pulled Ji Yunshu out of the hall.
Ji Yunshu stopped and withdrew her hand.
Jing Xuan turned to look at her, then looked into the hall. Seeing that no one was chasing after them, the corners of her mouth rose into a proud smile.
She said, "How can those vulgar women see your appearance before this Princess? If they want to see, it should be this Princess who sees it first."
'This is how it feels!'
However, if Jing Xuan hadn't suddenly interfered, there would have been a lot of trouble tonight. Not only would Ji Yunshu's appearance cause a commotion, but Concubine Xiao would also disregard her ugly appearance and insist on matchmaking her.
If she refused, she would have publicly offended Concubine Xiao!
If she agreed, but her identity …
Thinking about it, she felt that Concubine Xiao was too meticulous!
Fortunately, just as she started to plan, Jing Xuan suddenly came in and changed her mind.
How terrifying!
Ji Yunshu hadn't even finished investigating the Lin Capital case, and she had already fallen into Concubine Xiao's hands.
Seeing that Ji Yunshu was hesitant to speak, Jing Xuan suddenly pulled her hand and intimately said, "Since you have already come out, you might as well follow this Princess to the rear hall."
"Many thanks for the Princess's invitation, but it is getting late. Goodbye."
She withdrew her arm and prepared to leave with an expressionless face.
The next moment …
"Could it be that Teacher doesn't want to see Wei Yi?"
Huh?
"What did you say?" Ji Yunshu stopped and turned to ask.
Jing Xuan's face was filled with disappointment. "So Teacher is most worried about Wei Yi!"
"Why did you mention him? What did you do? "
"Aren't you in a hurry to leave the palace?" She twisted her body and crossed her arms in front of her chest, throwing a tantrum.
Ji Yunshu's heart tightened. She seriously said, "Princess, if you want to make things difficult for me, please do so, but don't hurt Wei Yi."
"When did this Princess say that I would hurt him? I only sent someone to bring him into the palace. That brat is now leisurely eating pastries in the rear hall. How about it? Are you willing to follow me to the rear hall now? "
Ji Yunshu's expression was anxious. Without hesitation, she said, "Take me to him."
"Good!" Jing Xuan was extremely satisfied.
Thus, Jing Xuan pulled her and hurriedly went to the rear hall.
Along the way, Jing Xuan was also worried.
"Last time, I told Imperial Mother about you and Imperial Brother talking about the missing girls case. When Imperial Mother heard about it, I didn't know why, but she grounded me in the palace and didn't let me leave. When I heard that you and Imperial Brother were injured, I was very worried."
Her tone was full of worry.
So …
"It's you?" Ji Yunshu was surprised.
Jing Xuan didn't understand. "What do you mean by me? I wanted to ask you, how are your injuries? "
She shook her head. "I'm fine!"
Her tone was extremely cold.
