"So, you're a noble lady? How can you work and make your own gold? I want to do it too!" Su Yiyang's excited voice continued to tease from the direction of the back seat.
Taking a deep breath, Xiu Qixuan lied down and replied flatly: "An acquaintance asked me to help in his shop." He continued sharply, "Now shut up, and never mention this again!" threaten her.
"Hmm, I'll try!" Su Yiyang said with a non-serious grin.
Su Yiyang, this girl's behavior is really crazy. He sat in the back seat of Xiu Qixuan with a few words expelling the previous seat owner. Or it could be said that some Miss seemed to naturally shy away from dealing with him.
"Shang Shufei entered the room!"
The loud voice of the old eunuch sounded echoing filled the great hall.
Following from behind the scenes hanging over the podium. The figure of the woman walked towards the high chair that became the center.
Everyone stood up then bowed to formally greet him.
"We greet Shang Shufei niang niang."
"All rise!" The voice of the dignified woman entered the ears, this voice was so smooth and clear, yet it simultaneously sounded loud and strong like a graceful jade.
Xiu Qixuan raised her head. He saw an older woman. Shang Shufei looked so charming with a beautiful red brocade. His thick black hair on the stack formed a style with real poeny petals that looked lifelike.
She had a young beauty that did not fade by her age. Both of his eyebrows in the picture are smooth and beautiful. As he spoke, the pure gold earrings with sparkling pearls hanging on his ears trembled along.
Shang Shufei smiled gently like a loving elder. "The sky is blue with clouds so bright. Seeing the most talented flower in the entire empire being gathered, I suddenly felt astonished." His voice full of brilliant glory suppressed the atmosphere around to become even more sacred.
She was renowned as one of the many most calm and virtuous imperial concubines of the time. He obediently and faithfully devoted himself wholeheartedly to the emperor. The young unmarried Miss who idolized her figure, they learned from Shang Shufei's figure to become a perfect wife.
Shang Shufei circulated a glance. It was as if he was looking for someone among the ranks of young noble ladies.
Their eyes accidentally clashed. Shang Shufei's eyes seemed to tighten, he smiled faintly as he looked towards Xiu Qixuan. Uncomfortable, Xiu Qixuan immediately lowered her gaze.
Xiu Qixuan did not want to deal too much with the women in the imperial harem, because she understood very well that each of them had their own goals, their own agendas, their own pride and ambitions. He had come here not for that, but, he had come to be closer to his enemy Emperor Shen Zhenning.
"Very good! Know it? Shang Shufei is one of the most beautiful in the emperor's harem even the appearance of the empress at the average grade if we juxtapose." Su Yiyang again raved the gossip with as good as his eyes.
"I don't want to see blood now. So shut up, Su Yiyang!" Through the tail of his eyes Xiu Qixuan glanced sharply. He said with furious pressure.
•••••••••••••••
The reddish glow from the afternoon sun through the curtains of the carriage crossed Xiu Qixuan's tangled face. The horse-drawn carriage moved in a queue out the palace gate.
"Did your class please Miss?" Xiao Rou asked warmly.
With a rude snort, Xiu Qixuan uttered a cynical voice: "That's crazy!" Then his eyes glanced to the side. "But crazier this girl who rides on my horse-drawn carriage!"
Xiu Qixuan massaged his temple. Suddenly his head felt spinning as he looked at Su Yiyang's grinning figure without any guilt.
Through coercion and turmoil, like a moth in a fire, Su Yiyang clung directly to him by giving various reasons. Even this girl deliberately returned the horse carriage that picked her up to the Su— Residence so that she could ride on Xiu Qixuan's horse carriage.
Ever since Xiu Qixuan responded coldly, she had a solid boundary wall for friendship with someone here. He did not trust Su Yiyang. It was just that this girl was talented in gossiping, Xiu Qixuan could use her to gather information from such unnecessary rants.
"Miss Su must be very knowledgeable. If the class feels boring to you!" Xiao Rou responded skeptically with friendly praise.
Xiu Qixuan grinned amusedly, not knowing that Xiao Rou—Su Yiyang was not knowledgeable but lacking knowledge.
Xiao Rou suddenly looked at Xiu Qixuan with a face full of happy smiles. "I didn't expect you to have any friends right away" he said.
"He's not my friend." Xiu Qixuan replied flatly heartless.
Xiao Rou immediately gasped stiffly. She who felt bad for Su Yiyang. Xiao Rou's face looked grimacing. "My lady just wasn't very good at getting along. Miss Su don't take heart!" ablaze
Su Yiyang smiled back broadly displaying his row of white teeth. Casually, he responded: "Hoh... We get along well, Xiao Rou take it easy!"
The horse carriage continued to move towards the Su Residence. Inside the horse carriage looked even more crowded with the presence of Su Yiyang who had never run out of topics to continue speaking.
"Aiyaa, I just remembered!" Su Yiyang exclaimed suddenly. His eyes continued to sparkle staring at Xiu Qixuan. "Why didn't Fengxuan Shop deliver the bill to Su Residence? Thanks to that my father doesn't know anything to punish me." He said enthusiastically when explaining that he was not getting any punishment.
"It's been settled by the palace." Xiu Qixuan replied briefly.
Su Yiyang said cheerfully. "Ah, very good! The ninth prince still had a responsible nature as it turned out!"
Xiu Qixuan chuckled. "Unfortunately, not him. The empress who cleared up yesterday's mess!"
•••••••••••••••••••
Three days full of brain and mental misery to attend the bridal class that adheres to ancient understandings passed. During that time, Xiu Qixuan had unknowingly become closer to Su Yiyang who was always clinging to her.
Perhaps people felt that Su Yiyang had a strange nature that was extremely chaotic. That's why they all avoided the girl.
However, it was Su Yiyang-like nature that made Xiu Qixuan feel suitable. When they are together, they do not need to maintain a lot of etiquette or fake smiles. They always naturally desire their own desires. As it is now.
The horse carriage moved towards the inner palace. Inside the fourth horse carriage the girls looked noisily exchanging clothes.
"This lady is a very dangerous act! If, big master knows—you'll be in parenthesis again." Su Yiyang's escort servant Jiajia said with a frightened frown.
"Ck, then don't let my father know! That's why you did it right!" Su Yiyang said with a lazy sigh.
Xiu Qixuan threw a thin cloth as a face veil over Jiajia. "Well, put this on!" He continued saying, "Miss Su is allergic so she wears a face mask."
Jiajia nodded immediately putting a veil on her face.
Whereas on the other hand, Xiao Rou only needed to wear special makeup to disguise herself as Xiu Qixuan. Actually in some special mission operations like in the Northern Xia back then, Xiao Rou had already so often disguised herself as Xiu Qixuan, so she looked calmer than the inexperienced Jiajia.
