Chapter 45 When is the birthday
After Shangguan Li left Qiufengyuan, she originally planned to return to Lingshui Pavilion.
But I was attracted by the excitement at the door.
She walked over and saw that the entire street outside the gate of the prime minister's mansion was full of carriages, and each carriage was filled with boxes wrapped in red cloth.
The servants were busy moving the things from the carriage into it.
"What's going on?"
Shangguan Li grabbed a temporary free servant and asked questions.
The servant looked at her, and his calves trembled and almost fell to the ground.
"I'm so scary, isn't this wearing a veil?"
Shangguan Li touched her face, although the veil could not block the black poisonous spots around her eyes.
"Three, Miss Three, no, no..."
"What is it? Straighten your tongue before speaking."
This family member was already scared, and was even more stammering by Shangguan Li's fright, and hesitating and unable to speak. He really thought that Shangguan Li had killed someone in front of him.
"Miss Three, this is an item purchased for the Master's birthday."
Another voice suddenly came out, answering her doubts.
She turned around and saw that the person who spoke was very tall and his face was only considered pretty, but the sincerity between his eyebrows added a lot of points to him.
He is an acquaintance.
Shangguan Li nodded.
"So that's the case, but didn't my father's birthdays be simple in previous years? Why is it so big this year?"
Although Shangguan Xun was full of bad habits, he was very happy to be honest in the court and the country. Every time he celebrated his birthday, he pretended to be honest and only held two banquets, and never accepted gifts.
But in fact, I don’t know how many treasures I collected from behind my back.
The young guard's face was a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a while before he said.
"Mrs. said she would take advantage of this time to get the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so..."
oh.
Shangguan Li understood.
It was probably the case that she forced Feng Sichen to ruin the engagement.
People in the capital are bored when they are idle and always like to find some topics of conversation after dinner from these big guys who are pressing on their heads.
However, Feng Sichen was the prince of the current dynasty and could not be arranged at will.
So they had to point their finger at Shangguan Li who was resigned, and Shangguan Yue who was resigned was also affected.
Both of these are Shangguan Xun's daughters. When talking about the two daughters of the Shangguan family who were not married to become princes, they also involved Prime Minister Shangguan Xun, which is inevitable.
After a while, the face on his face is probably not much left.
No wonder Shangguan Xun wanted to take this opportunity to win the Zun.
Judging from this situation, there will definitely be no fewer people to invite at that time. Maybe it will be her opportunity to investigate further.
Shangguan Li was thinking and didn't say anything. The young guard had already pulled up the servant who was so scared that he was paralyzed and said to Shangguan Li.
"Please ask the third lady to get around his loss of composure."
Shangguan Li came to her senses only then. She nodded and said, "It was not a scrupulous personality to everyone."
"It's okay."
The young guards and the servants immediately showed a look of relief.
Shangguan Li didn't say much, and wanted to leave, but stopped the next moment and turned his mind to say.
"By the way, Zhang Lei, I'll ask you something, what day is the birthday of the Prime Minister?"
Then she saw the young guard and servant Qiqi on the opposite side were stunned. She probably didn't expect that she could ask such questions.
Shangguan Li was also a little aggrieved.
Although my original body celebrated her birthday with her mother when she was a child, she was too young to tell the difference between her days.
Later, when she grew up a little, her mother was gone again, and she was driven to the back mountain, and no one cared about it. Not to mention knowing when Shangguan Xun celebrated her birthday, she was a little confused at that time even what Shangguan Xun looked like.
Shangguan Xun finally appeared in front of her, just to make her a ship and send her to Feng Sichen.
It’s a pity that the original body thought he could marry a good man at that time, so he was grateful to this scumbag father and his cheap sister.
It really hurts her mind when she thinks about it now.
"cough!"
The young guard named Zhang Lei coughed lightly and said respectfully.
"The Prime Minister's birthday is October 21st. Miss No. 3, don't forget it anymore."
"Okay, thank you."
After receiving his important reminder, Shangguan Li withdrew his thoughts and turned around and left.
The servant was relieved until he couldn't see her.
"It was this third lady who beat Zhou Hu and the others like that. It was so scary. By the way, Brother Lei, thank you for helping me to help me relieve the situation. I will treat you to the evening... Brother Lei?"
Zhang Lei was still stunned, and he didn't react until the servant called him again.
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? I said I wanted to invite you to drink. If I didn't hear it, I won't count it."
Zhang Lei laughed and scolded.
"This is not OK. I'm waiting for a pot of good wine. Let's go, work quickly, don't be scolded by the housekeeper later."
"knew."
The servant sighed.
Miss Three still remembers my name.
This thought suddenly emerged, occupying Zhang Lei's mind. As for the nerves that this mind is tied to, he didn't know.
Shangguan Li returned to Lingshui Pavilion, and the first thing she did was to check if anyone had come in. After a trip up and down, she sat down with confidence.
October 21.
That is, four days later, Zhang Yuanniang and Shangguan Xun, as the host family, will receive guests in the front hall. Then she will have the opportunity to go to Zhang Yuanniang's room to find out.
The poisonous spots on Shangguan Li's face began to appear when she was ten years old, nine years ago, when a doctor treated her and said that this was something that was brought out from her womb, so people in the world said that the birthmark on her face was.
It was nine years ago. After Qi Yi died, several young and beautiful ladies died in the mansion.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Yuanniang, who was humble from a background, gradually settled into the position of the first lady of the prime minister's mansion.
The probability of these being coincidental is as good as hiding in a basement and being struck by lightning.
So Zhang Yuanniang must have a problem.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Li came to the window and took in the two flower pots bathed in the sunny gate on the windowsill.
The flower pots were planted with two flowers she came from Zhang Yuanniang's yard last night, but the flowers that were originally very well-bloomed have now begun to wither. Not only have the leaves drooped, but the rhizomes also have signs of necrosis.
This phenomenon is very unusual.
Because Shangguan Li arranged a flower pot according to the environment of Zheliuyuan, she even used some medicine that is very beneficial to the plants.
Logically speaking, even if the transplant is not successful, the flower will not wither so quickly.
There is only one different place in the flower pot and the willow garden, that is, the soil.
What is in the soil under the large flower field in Zheliuyuan?
Shangguan Li thought leisurely.
