The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 181. Night attack

What Qi Feng said was right. It didn’t take long for the Tianjin Kingdom to defeat Daye and surrender to the Dajin Dynasty. This war lasted so long, but it was beyond everyone’s expectations. The Kingdom of Tianjin is no more than a small place, and I don’t know when it will have the power to compete with the Dajin Dynasty, which is really thought-provoking. However, in addition to a warning to Dajin Dynasty, it was defeated in the end. The messenger took the book to bring the Dajin army back to the dynasty with the same class into the capital. Among them, there is a lot of rumors about the relocation of land compensation, but the specific one is that I have a personal statement, and I don’t know which news is true.

From the border back to Beijing, the mountains and rivers are long, and it will be impossible to go back for a while. Even so, Jinying’s palace started to get busy up and down. Steward Lin arranged Xiao Shao what he should do after returning home. The most important thing was Xiao Shao’s wedding with Jiang Ruan. Before Xiao Shao left Beijing, the queen mother made a decree, and only waited for the class teacher to return to the court before they were married. Butler Lin has been calculating since receiving the decree a year ago. Jiang Ruan thought that everything was already in order. Who knew that Butler Lin was still worrying about it, from the water beads on the wedding invitation to the ivory chopsticks used at the guest banquet. The carved patterns are almost insignificant.

Dewdrops bypassed Steward Lin and made a begging gesture: “Steward Lin, this snack list has been changed dozens of times. I really can’t think of anything. Forgive me, I’m just a Slaves.”

Steward Lin looked at Dewdrop and said with a serious face: “Since you are with so many people around Mrs. Young, you also know the people Mrs. Young sees on weekdays. This wedding banquet can’t be hastily. The more refined you are, the more you can see. It’s not that our palace’s respect for the young lady is not. In this way, the young lady has a face, and you are proud of being a servant of the young lady. Besides, since you followed the young lady into the gate of the palace, that is, you are a member of the palace, you must Seeing as one of us, why is the little girl so uncomfortable? Come, let’s see, how does this small porridge made in Taiwan have a lighter Jiangnan flavor?”

Dewdrop rolled her eyes and walked around the house without looking back.

Back in the room, Forsythia and Bai Zhi were surrounding Jiang Ruan and didn’t know what they were doing. Even Tianzhu stood aside and looked at it. Dewdrop said strangely: “Huh, what is this?”

The soft couch in front of Jiang Ruan was covered with a layer of things obliquely. After walking in, the dewdrops could not see clearly, and he couldn’t help but exclaimed: “What a beautiful wedding dress!”

Most of the wedding dresses for this woman were embroidered by herself, and she began to sew her wedding dresses a few years ago. The craftsmanship of the wedding dresses can also be seen in the female redness of women. While embroidering the wedding dress, the girl was in a sweet mood. It’s just that when Jiang Ruan received the empress dowager’s decree, the time was too hasty, that is, he moved to Jinying Palace, and he didn’t think about wedding clothes every day. Time was too reluctant to embroider. When the time comes, I’m going to ask the clothing shop in Beijing to make one, as long as I don’t miss the Jinying Palace’s side. Who knows that the treasurer of Baoyuelou came to the door today to present the wedding dress, saying that Xiao Shao ordered Baoyuelou to do it when he left Beijing. Who is King Jinying? After receiving this order, he can eat it for three years after opening. The shopkeeper invited the best embroiderer, with a spirit of 120,000 points, and finally finished it for Jiang Ruan before Xiao Shao returned.

蒋阮自个儿心里还奇怪，当初做衣裳的时候她并不知道，萧韶又是怎么知道她尺寸的？不过眼下的确不是操心这个的时候，虽然知道宝月楼向来是给宫里娘娘做衣裳的，可到手了这件嫁衣，就连蒋阮也忍不住倒吸一口凉气。

那嫁衣全身上下自是红艳艳的，却又不是普通的红，像是天上的云霞慢慢的氤氲到云朵里去，温温软软，艳丽无双，布料是挑丝双巢云纹霞披，上头绣着金银丝鸾鸟朝凤绣纹，金丝和银丝极细，一针一线都绣的极为精致，鸾鸟引颈飞鸣，一只彩凤下尾旖旎，底下缀满了五彩的宝石，轻轻摇动间几乎要令人目目眩神迷。

那凤冠也做的精致小巧，并不沉重，戴上也不会觉得吃力，翠绿的鸟羽粼粼发光，折射出令人心醉的颜色，凤冠口衔珠宝串饰，金龙、翠凤、珠光宝气交相辉映，富丽堂皇，非一般工匠所能达到。凤冠上金龙升腾奔跃在翠云之上，翠凤展翅飞翔在珠宝花叶之中。最动人的是中间翠凤口含的一颗珠子，通体晶莹圆润，色泽隐隐透明，能随着人的走动散发出璀璨光泽，顶着这样一顶凤冠，实在是浑身上下都是光灿灿的。

不仅如此，还有华钗步摇，双响金环，同心百结锁，绣满了鸳鸯的喜鞋，这一整套下来便是蒋阮前生已然见过了宫中的华丽富贵，皇后的朝服也见过，此刻见此，也忍不住有些失神。

女子的嫁衣本是担负了女子对未来一切的希望，会用尽自己的一切力量让它更加美丽。今生她对所有美丽的东西并没有特别的动心，可萧韶竟然会想的如此周到。露珠吃惊的张大嘴巴，已然看呆了，半晌才喃喃道：“姑爷可真是大方，这是要让姑娘把一个尚书府穿在身上哪。”

连翘“噗嗤”一声笑出来，道：“尽胡说，什么叫吧一个尚书府穿在身上？”她看了一眼那身精致的不像是凡间才有的嫁衣，笑的越发乐不可支：“尚书府哪够买这件嫁衣？”

Since Jiang Quan’s attitude towards Jiang Ruan became more and more indifferent, and within a year he didn’t even take the initiative to intervene with Jiang Ruan. Several maids around Jiang Ruan were already cold towards Jiang Quan. They thought that one day Jiang Quan would see Jiang Ruan’s good. After all, they were his biological father and daughter, and the bones were still connected to the tendons. How could they say that they would be broken, but now they don’t want to mention him again. Anyway, Jiang Ruan is also about to marry into Jinying Palace, and he will be a member of Jinying Palace in the future, and he still cares about what those irrelevant people do. Without this layer of scruples, Forsythia was not polite when speaking to Jiang Mansion.

Everyone laughed again, Jiang Ruan’s gaze fell on the wedding gown, and he couldn’t help shaking his head. This clothes really had to be worn out, but he didn’t know what kind of sensation it would cause. Xiao Shao’s wedding gown is worth all the belongings of a fifth-grade official in the capital. It is estimated that after he gets married, he won’t be able to get away with the name of a demon girl who is a disaster for the country.

As he was talking, he heard someone coming from outside to report: “Madam Young, Master Xia and Master Qi are coming to see you.”

Jiang Ruan asked Bai Zhi and the others to put away their wedding clothes, opened the door and walked out. As soon as they went out, they saw Xia Qing and Qi Feng sitting at the stone table in the yard. Seeing her coming, Qi Feng laughed and joked: ” Hearing from the people in this mansion that the wedding dress from Baoyue Tower has been delivered, my fifth brother and I are betting.”

“What are you betting on?” Jiang Ruan smiled slightly.

“Bet on how much silver the wedding dress given by the third brother is worth.” Xia Qing’s baby-faced face is extremely lovable, and when he speaks seriously, he looks very cute: “Fourth brother guessed it was one hundred thousand taels, I think it was five. Ten thousand two.”

The two of them were so boring, they took this to bet. Jiang Ruan was a little bit ashamed. He only felt that Xiao Shao’s brothers were very lively, and he didn’t know how Xiao Shao’s boring gourd was developed. At this moment, I heard Xia Qing’s crisp voice again: “It’s just that whether it’s fifty thousand taels or one hundred thousand taels, the third brother is too wasteful. How can there be a piece of clothing that is so expensive? Use the money to open a few more shantangs. , I don’t know how many people can be saved.”

“It’s up to you,” Qi Feng knocked Xia Qing’s head fiercely: “You didn’t make the third brother’s silver. You didn’t build this Jinying Palace. You can use the silver you want. What’s wrong with Sansao wearing a wedding gown? If I marry a wife like Sansao, I will definitely try my best to find a dress worthy of her!” Qi Feng suddenly realized he was just after the sound What he was talking about, he couldn’t help but paused, and looked at Jiang Ruan with some anxiety.

Jiang Ruan turned a deaf ear, and seemed to be thinking about other things, Qi Feng’s eyes dimmed. Xia Qing touched her head and said aggrieved: “Fourth brother, you are now more and more towards the third sister-in-law. It’s not your wife, why are you so tightly guarded? Do you want the friendship between fellow teachers and brothers?”

“You–” Qi Feng really wanted to beat up this little-rooted junior. In a blink of an eye, he saw Jiang Ruan’s thoughtful appearance, and his movements slowed down.

Jiang Ruan was thinking right now, and in a blink of an eye she was about to marry Xiao Shao. In this life, she is unwilling to repeat the mistakes of her previous life, so she tries to avoid taking the path of her previous life in every move. In the end of her previous life, she was never able to be an upright wife. The imperial concubine looked at the scenery on the surface, but she was not actually a concubine of the emperor. Becoming the young lady of the Jinying Prince’s Mansion is equivalent to having a solid backing. Xiao Shao’s power can make her do many things much more convenient, but the most important thing is that she can completely get rid of the shadow of Xuanli. In this life, she finally broke off the last part of Xuanli’s relationship with Xuanli. From then on, she will not belong to the Xuan family as a woman of the Xiao family.

She returned to her senses, looked at Qi Feng and Xia Qing, and smiled slightly: “In short, Xiao Shao is coming back, and my eldest brother is coming back too. The originally stable situation in the capital is afraid that there will be changes soon. Take it lightly, I’m not worried about Master Qi, but Master Xia…”

Xia Qing was not convinced: “What happened to me? How do you treat Sansao differently?”

“You are kind-hearted and gentle, so you will inevitably be used by others.” Jiang Ruan smiled: “It’s good to keep an eye on it. Before Xiao Shao and the others return to Beijing, please be careful.”

Xia Qing and Qi Feng looked at each other, shrugged, and said, “Okay, the eldest wife is like a mother, I listen to the third wife.”

Dewdrop smiled secretly on the side.

It was windy at night, and Bai Zhi got up to close the window. She unexpectedly discovered that sporadic light rain had begun outside. It was already very cold in the cold winter night. When the rain fell on the person, she immediately felt cold. Bai Zhi closed the window and looked at Jiang Ruandao, who was still sitting at the table reading a book: “The girl should rest early. When it rains heavily, she will catch the wind and chill carefully.”

Jiang Ruan nodded, closed the book, Fang walked to the door, and heard a noise from outside, what seemed to be the sound of something bursting. She frowned. At this hour, where are there any firecrackers. She has always had an unexpected instinct for danger, and she put on a coat and stood up, and she was about to walk out of the yard to take a look.

Seeing that Jiang Ruan had an idea, Bai Zhi didn’t stop him. There were secret guards outside to protect him, and there was no big trouble. When Jiang Ruanfang walked into the courtyard, he saw a small servant rushing in, his tone was a little anxious: “Madam, a group of people came from outside, claiming to be officials to arrest the assassin, but the youngest dare not open the door, come and ask for instructions. Mrs. Shao means.”

The subordinates of Jinying Palace are carefully selected, and they are not stupid. The officers and soldiers who knew what to arrest the assassin suddenly came so late was really weird. Jiang Ruan smiled and said: “Nothing. The arrest of the assassin also requires official seals and tokens. Since you refuse to open the door, it means that they did not take out these two tokens. Since they do not have these two tokens, they cannot prove their identity. Jinying Prince’s Mansion is not a small household, even small households can’t just say rushing. These people don’t care about it, you are doing very well.”

After being praised by Jiang Ruan, the young man blushed a bit, but immediately changed a worried expression: “The young lady said that, but those people are coming fiercely, and the younger one listens to the battle from the door. If he refuses I’m afraid I won’t let go of opening the door.”

As soon as the voice fell, as if to reflect what he was saying, he saw the guard at the gate rushing again: “Young lady, it’s not good, those people have already begun to rush into the palace. The subordinates took a look, their men and horses. There are too many, and they all brought bows and arrows. The visitors are not good, and I am afraid it is very dangerous.”

Steward Lin also came from outside the courtyard and saw Jiang Ruanshu breathe out. Now the Jinying Palace treats Jiang Ruan as a serious female master. Once something happens, as long as Jiang Ruan is there, he will pass Steward Lin. Report directly to Jiang Ruan. Butler Lin’s usual laughter color has been completely put away, and he said with a serious face: “Young lady, this place is too dangerous. Wait until the guards left behind by the master’s son guard you to leave this place, the master’s token is still there, always Can protect you.”

If the Jinying Palace became the target of public criticism, and the other party dared to be so rampant tonight, it must be an excellent preparation. Jiang Ruan is not safe to stay here. In any case, the young lady of the Jinying Palace always puts the first place.

Jiang Ruan pondered, shook his head and said, “No.”

Everyone was startled by her words, and Dewdrop was a little anxious: “Girl, it’s not the time to succeed. Since those people dare to enter the palace at night, there must be some post-reaction. What if there are two shortcomings and shortcomings?”

Generally speaking, Jinying Palace is like a copper wall and iron wall. No one would have thought of coming to Jinying Palace. At this moment, Xiao Shao brought people and horses when his class was about to return to court. I was still using the army’s position. I was already surrounded by Tuan Tuan, and there were no people who could deliver letters to other places. The other party used such obvious means to obtain two things, one for life, and the other for the Jinying Palace.

Life is not difficult to explain, now there is just one more of her in the Jinying Palace. As for other things… Jiang Ruan looked at Steward Lin: “How many guards in this mansion add up?”

“There are a total of 180 guards. The servants and servants, each of them has a bit of martial arts,” said the steward Lin: “But for those outsiders, they are man-arms and carts. People use bows and arrows. Moreover, the men and horses Ordering, it’s like using military means to hit our palace. Young lady, this place is really dangerous. Before the young master leaves, there should be tokens left. If the young lady must stay, how about calling the Jinyi guards to protect the young lady?”

“No.” Jiang Ruan flatly refused: “Since these people dare to come so arrogantly, they may not have any other meaning. I’m afraid they want to test the depth of Jin Yiwei. Is there any secret in this palace?”

Steward Lin looked up for a moment and looked up at Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan stared at him closely. His always smiling and charming eyes had a bit of sharpness. But Steward Lin was shocked by those eyes, and he never dared to hide it anymore. He opened his mouth and said: “Yes. The young master handles the official documents in the mansion, and some secrets are also discussed in the palace. Although the old slave is not very clear, he also knows that there should be many important things in the palace. Although the protection is very good, but It is inevitable to be grabbed by someone.”

Jiang Ruan’s heart sank and said coldly: “It’s really a good strategy with one stone.”

“What’s the answer?” Steward Lin asked.

Jiang Ruan quickly turned around and walked towards the main hall of the palace: “The seemingly reckless action, but at this moment, if you recruit Jin Yiwei, you can discover the true strength of Jinying palace. If you discard the palace and escape. , May be able to find out the secrets in the palace, if you want to take the lives of people, it is even easier. He is a robber, but a clever robber. “Xuan Li, it is not so easy to pass. Now he is so aggressive when he makes a shot. She walked fast without stopping, and the long fox fur cloak drew a gorgeous arc in the night: “It’s not too late, Lao Lin, summon all the horses in the mansion to gather in the front hall. Tonight, no one is allowed to leave the brocade. One step at the Royal Palace!”

Steward Lin was shocked by the ruthlessness in Jiang Ruan’s words, and immediately replied: “Yes!”

Steward Lin’s movements were really fast, and within half a time, everyone had gathered in the front hall of Jinying Palace. Jiang Ruan stood in the courtyard of the front hall, in front of everyone, butler Lin stood aside, and Jin Er’s secret guards followed Jiang Ruan without saying a word. Everyone’s eyes are on this future young lady of Jinying Palace. Tonight’s situation is fierce, but this woman refuses to escape alone. This move has already won the favor of the people of Jinying Palace. Everyone in Beijing is not a beautiful lady. Yes, being able to have such courage has already taught people to admire. But if there is courage and intrepidity, it will not bring good luck to Jinying Palace. Therefore, everyone wants to see what Jiang Ruan can think of.

Jiang Ruan stood in front of the crowd. The darker the night, the more gorgeous her complexion. In such a dangerous situation, her eyes were as if she were drowsy, with a faint smile on her lips, calmly, all People felt the faint murderous intent in her. She said: “Everyone, I don’t need to say anything. Someone is going to break into Jinying Palace tonight. I don’t know what their purpose is. It is always a bad person. You are all from Jinying Palace. Entering your yard may kill your relatives, rob you of your treasures, and may even plant you an assassin’s hat.”

She said indifferently, as if she was talking about things that would happen in other people’s homes, but everyone was startled by hearing it. Guessing what might happen and the facts that actually come out of someone’s mouth are another matter. Everyone’s eyes changed slightly.

“Your master entrusted Jinying Prince’s Mansion to me before he left. I promised to protect its stability. Every plant in this mansion may be closely related to the future of the Royal Mansion and should not be taken lightly. Therefore, I am the same tonight, I To fulfill my promise to your master, I will not leave this palace and leave. I am with you. The robbers have come in. If you do not leave, I will not leave. I will stay here until the last moment. ”

Everyone looked at her blankly. Perhaps some people wondered how Jiang Ruan, as the princess of Jinzhiyuye and the mistress of the entire palace, would stay here willingly. Knowing that this was a conspiracy but refused to retreat, those beautiful eyes clearly had a look that a hungry wolf could have, loneliness and extreme indifference, she was ignoring her life.

Tianzhu stood quietly beside Jiang Ruan. From the time she followed Jiang Ruan, she knew that the master she was with was the same as Jin Yiwei in some respects. No matter how the outside world changes, her heart will always be strong.

Jiang Ruan coldly ordered: “Now, as Princess Jinying, I order you, all the little servants, go back to your house and find a place to hide. All the royal guards, you must concentrate Here, the focus is on guarding Xiao Shao’s study and bedroom. If anyone breaks in, they will all be killed. Jin Er, you find a way to rush out of the palace. If there is a secret road, it’s better to light all the houses around Jinying palace. Jin San Jin Si, you two set off the signal flares, Jin Yiwei cannot come forward, Zhao family can come forward.” Her eyes were extremely cold, and her tone was unfathomable: “If you want to step here, you must first see if you have that. Ability. After weighing the depth of Jinying Palace, I want them to come back and forth!”

Everyone was stunned by the words that were almost cursed, and couldn’t help but look up at this beautiful mistress. She was charming and bright, and her crimson dress was wafting red flowers in the wind of the cold night, but her tone was cruel. It’s bitter, like a ghost climbing out of hell. The ridicule flowing from the end of the eyes contained a kind of contempt that was carved into the bones, and everyone was a little confused. Butler Lin’s palm trembled. He didn’t know why. He felt that Jiang Ruan at this time was very similar to Xiao Shao. It was strong and tenacious from the bones, and he would not be frightened by anything, even if it was the next second. In front of him, he also has the courage to calmly order the layout of his subordinates.

“Now, act now!” she ordered.
