Chapter 36 Miss Jian'er
The girl stared at the man in black, then turned away and continued to put on her makeup. She said calmly, "You have been with me for several years, right?"
"Reporting to the princess, it has been six years."
"Six years...Your skills are already quite good, so why did you fall into the hands of the county magistrate's daughter?"
"Your Highness, the county magistrate's daughter, Tang Shujing, is very skilled. If I hadn't sacrificed my left eye, I'm afraid I would have been captured by her."
"Strange, why is Tang Shujing so angry with me?" The girl's expression changed and she continued, "Last night, someone was stabbed in the hands and feet."
"Today, your left eye was blinded again, tut tut." The girl sneered.
"I am incompetent. Please punish me, Your Highness." The man in black trembled with fear and lowered his waist.
"Forget it." The girl waved her hand.
"Thank you, Princess."
The girl sat in front of the dressing table, motionless, silently watching the maid insert a golden hairpin into her cloud-like bun. She was dazzling and more beautiful than a flower.
She nodded with satisfaction and smiled sweetly.
Haha, she was very satisfied with this smile, and it matched her makeup tonight very well.
After a moment, her sweet smile disappeared, and she frowned and thought for a long time without saying anything.
The man in black, who was about ten feet away, kept bowing and bowing, not daring to move, let alone look at the beautiful figure in front of the dressing table.
"The magistrate of Leshou County and his daughter Tang Shujing are not within the scope of our plan."
The girl opened her mouth slowly. Although her voice was a little cold, it was still clear and pleasant, like the sound of an angel.
The maids continued to put on their makeup while the man in black pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
"Try not to conflict with the county magistrate. Who knows, in the near future, we may have to 'rely on' the county magistrate of Leshou County."
"You should be more careful in the future and be on high alert. If you meet Tang Shujing, don't get into conflict with her." The girl gave her final instructions.
"yes."
"Okay, step back and take good care of your injuries."
The man in black left through the window and restored the window to its original state before leaving.
At this time, the girl's makeup was completed.
She has an oval face and delicate and beautiful features. You will be amazed at first sight and want to stick your eyes to her face.
She has curved eyebrows, big and bright eyes, a straight and upturned nose, plump and bright red lips, and a flower ornament in the shape of peach petals attached to her eyebrows. She is truly more beautiful than flowers.
Her hair was like clouds, complicated and exquisite, and studded with gold, jade, and pearls. When she walked, tiny specks of gold and silver flashed. The gold threads hanging from her hairpins were dangled with pearls, making her look noble and elegant.
She has a slender snow-white neck and half-exposed breasts. She is wearing a very cool purple dance costume. The main color of the costume is purple, and it is matched with various gauze, silk, and satin. It looks noble and ethereal. The skirt must look beautiful when she dances.
"The princess is so beautiful!"
"The princess is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!"
"The beauty of the princess should last forever!"
"Princess Lanling of Daliang, the one from the harem of Shu , and that cheap woman selling tea from Nanchu are all clowns in front of the princess!"
"That's right, they are not even worthy of carrying the princess' shoes!"
“…”
The two maids spared no words of praise.
The girl just fell for it. As she listened, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This smile was so charming!
"Is everyone here?" the girl asked with a smile, holding a bronze mirror in both hands and examining it carefully.
"I will go and have a look right away."
After a while, the maid returned and said, "Princess, most of the people are here, except... only Su Xian and his classmate Lin Chuan have not arrived yet."
The girl did not answer, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised, and her sweet smile mostly disappeared.
Another maid interrupted, "Princess, please rest assured. Someone called back earlier and said that Lin Chuan has already rushed to Jiaolou Street. He must have gone to pick up Su Xian and should be here soon."
After hearing this, the girl nodded slowly, and her slightly raised brows relaxed.
A quarter of an hour later.
The time for the poetry banquet is approaching.
The girl placed the bronze mirror upside down on the dressing table, frowned and asked, "Has Su Xian arrived yet?"
"Princess, please wait a moment. I will go and take a look."
The maid opened the door with quick steps, walked around the stage, and came to the huge box where the poetry banquet was held.
There were already forty-eight people gathered in this box. They had all received invitations from Miss Xianzi, and each had paid an "entrance fee" of fifty taels.
A total of fifty invitations were sent out this time, and the only ones who haven't arrived yet are naturally Lin Chuan and Su Xian.
The maid came to the box and took a look, and found that Su Xian and Lin Chuan had not arrived yet.
This made her mutter in her heart: "Damn it, Su Xian won't come, right? If he doesn't come, won't this poetry banquet be a waste of effort?"
In another half a quarter of an hour, the poetry banquet will begin.
The maid felt that she would have no way to explain herself when she returned, so she walked lightly to the door of the box, peeked in, and waited eagerly.
Upon looking up, the maid saw Lin Chuan and Su Xian, who had arrived late, and were being stopped outside by the people guarding the door of the box... The maid breathed a long sigh of relief, it was good that they had arrived.
However, Su Xian thought that Lin Chuan seemed to be stopped by someone and not allowed to come in?
The maid raised her eyebrows, took small steps forward, and asked, "What happened? Why did you stop these two gentlemen?"
The gatekeeper, seeing that the visitor was Miss Xiaoxianzi's personal maid, bowed and said in a friendly manner: "It turns out to be Miss Jian'er. This Mr. Lin Chuan has an invitation and can enter, but this person..."
The gatekeeper turned around and stared at Su Xian with a bad look, and said, "This person doesn't have an invitation, and has been arguing here for a long time. I was just about to kick him out!"
The maid named "Jian'er" widened her eyes upon hearing this.
She finally understood the crux of the matter that was making her princess uneasy. It turned out that this guy was the one causing trouble.
Jian'er raised his eyebrows, his eyes fixed, and he was about to attack.
However, at this time, Lin Chuan spoke first: "This brother, he originally had an invitation, but it's all my fault that he forgot it at home..."
"shut up!"
The gatekeeper turned around and screamed, his face was hideous. He had tolerated these two people for a long time.
Moreover, in front of Miss Jian'er, he thought he should cut the Gordian knot quickly, and maybe he could even make a good impression on Miss Xiaoxianzi.
He did it as he thought. The gatekeeper suddenly pushed Lin Chuan and Su Xian with his hands, trying to drive them away.
Su Xian frowned slightly, thinking that it was all Lin Chuan's fault, as he forgot his invitation at home, causing him to miss out on the one thousand taels of silver.
Lin Chuan was also very regretful. After this incident, he was afraid that he would never have the chance to see Miss Xian Zi again.
Pinyu Pavilion can be regarded as the "chain brothel" of Daliang. The power behind it is so strong that even Lin Chuan doesn't dare to make trouble here, so once they are driven away, they can only leave in embarrassment.
Just when Su Xian and Lin Chuan were feeling depressed, they suddenly heard a young girl's delicate voice: "Stop!"
Before they could see what was happening, their eyes blurred and then there was a loud bang.
After rubbing their eyes, the two men saw clearly that the arrogant gatekeeper had fallen more than ten feet away and was unable to get up. He rubbed his waist and cried out in pain.
The person who took action was the little girl named "Jian'er".
