I was Idle and Cool Chapter 175: New Year’s Eve Snow
This is the first time that Lu Jinxi has heard people use the word "poor" to describe Wei Yi. If it wasn't for the vague and faint pity on Sun Xuedai's face, she might have wondered if she was listening wrong.
But if you think about it carefully, it may not be impossible.
Although she doesn't know about Wei Yi, she can infer from those rumors that this is a person who is arrogant and arrogant. What if she becomes the favorite concubine in the palace?
Not free to move, but also to rob her husband from others.
For others, the palace may be a paradise, but for Wei Yi, it may be the opposite.
It's just that she didn't know what Sun Xuedai meant by "somewhat said" in her words, but listening to the tone of Sun Xuedai's conversation with her, although she felt that the two knew each other, they had not yet reached the point of acquaintance.
So after a little thought, Lu Jinxi didn't ask any further questions.
Lu Jinxi doesn't know much about Sun Xuedai, but she has a mechanism to adapt, and there is no flaw in the conversation with her; for Lu Jinxi, Sun Xuedai may not have seen her for a long time, and she only attributes her changes to the struggle of life.
Time is the big winner, after all.
It is not unusual for a person to undergo earth-shaking changes after fourteen or five years. What's more, she has married Gu Juefei in the past three and a half years?
Those near ink are black, and those near vermilion are red.
Under the influence of Gu Juefei, I wonder if Lu Jinxi should get worse.
So from the beginning to the end, Sun Xuedai never doubted Lu Jinxi's change.
Not long after she first returned to the capital, she obviously didn't know many people in the capital, and she didn't feel that she needed to know anyone, but she was impatient to deal with things around the stage and walked around at will.
Instead of dealing with those people, it's better to reminisce with Lu Jin.
The two of them are quite tacit, they don't talk about the things on the table, they just pick up some innocuous corners to chat, mostly old things.
Talking about the three people back then, Gu Juefei back then...
Of course, it is inevitable to talk about the Wei's school back then, and I feel a little bit sorry for the current state of the Wei's school.
"Thinking back to the Wei family, there was Taifu Wei in the previous dynasty, the first empress in the harem, and the seventh prince. Even if they were frail and sick, they were the direct descendants of the middle palace. That's the glory and wealth that one can expect to see..."
As Sun Xuedai spoke, she looked at the silent palace maids on both sides.
"But fate makes people, these things in the world are changing rapidly. In a palace change, the seventh prince is gone, and the first queen is gone. There is a big Wei family, and only Taifu Wei is left to support her. Even if she is Wei Yi He is only eight buckets tall and looks like a god, so what's the use?"
What awaits her is nothing but a road to the palace.
The last one was her aunt Wei Qiang, and the next one was her own.
The Wei family and the Gu family have always been Daxia, especially in the capital, the two scholarly families that are always mentioned at the same time, the hairpin Ying family.
One has the old lady Gu Chengqian and the other has the old lady Fu Weibinggan.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these two are actually checks and balances of power, and no one can overwhelm the other too much.
But now...
The Taishi Mansion already had a Gu Juefei inheriting the family business, and it even took only three and a half years to be promoted to the terrifying position of a scholar, a first-rank official.
Where's Weiss? Wei Shi has only one Wei Yi.
Of course Lu Jinxi can understand it, and she has heard about the palace change thirteen years ago, but she always has a very strange intuition.
Intuition about conspiracy.
Where in the world is there such a good thing?
At that time, Taifu Wei's younger sister, Wei Chang, was the empress, and she had a frail, unnamed seventh prince, and the favored concubine of the German emperor, Chen Shi, had a fourth prince, Xiao Qi, and Duan, who was not very favored. The concubine Ji has three princes, the current emperor Xiao Che.
In the previous dynasty, the two Gu and Wei families competed against each other.
When the emperor was critically ill, he convened two major ministers to secretly appoint the seventh prince as the heir, but the rumor that somehow leaked was known to the fourth prince, Xiao Qi.
Then the palace changed.
The fourth prince actually led troops to force the palace, first killing the seventh prince, and then forcing Empress Wei to take the throne.
It's just that he's really unlucky.
The Princess Yongning at that time was already married to Xue Huan, the second son of the general's mansion at that time, that is, Xue Kuang's second uncle, and indirectly held the military power.
As soon as the news came out, the palace gate was quietly opened immediately and led the army camp into the palace.
There are troops outside, and there are auxiliary ministers inside.
No matter how unwilling the fourth prince is, he has no choice but to capture it.
With the death of the seventh prince, of course, only the third prince, Xiao Che, who is inconspicuous and has no one to rely on, is left to inherit the throne.
In the eyes of others, this situation is reasonable and dangerous, but in the eyes of a conspiracy theorist like Lu Jinxi, it is full of strange and ambiguous coincidences.
The emperor established the crown prince, and the two ministers were not vegetarians. How did the rumors leak?
Fourth prince Xiao Qi is favored again, where in the palace can he attract military power and lead troops to force the palace?
Unfortunately, the two princes who were the most suitable to inherit the throne both lost their thrones in this palace change. The Third Prince Xiao Che...
What role does Princess Yongning play here?
What is the role of Gu Wei's two assistant ministers?
Thinking about it carefully, Lu Jinxi only felt that there was a chill in the bones.
It's just that now she is holding the hand stove, chatting with Sun Xuedai in the pavilion by the lake, listening to the clear and smooth singing from the Bo Yue platform from a distance, but she doesn't say a word of doubt.
Because Sun Xuedai didn't mention a word.
A wise man is not always silent, but always silent when he should be silent.
"It's snowing."
Taking a slight step forward, Lu Jinxi glanced at the dark and gloomy night sky. When the wind blew, snowflakes fell from the sky.
New Year's Eve snow.
The lights in the palace shine brightly, as white as jade.
Sun Xuedai followed her gaze and couldn't help but smile.
The exclamations of concubines and noble ladies intertwined came from the distant stage at almost the same time: "It's snowing, it's really snowing. It's a perfect occasion, the sky is snowing..."
The palace was suddenly filled with laughter.
On such a good day, surrounded by palace lanterns, and a good snowfall, who wouldn't like it?
It's just that Lu Jinxi and Sun Xuedai didn't talk much anymore.
The two just stood under the pavilion and watched.
This New Year's Eve palace banquet started when You entered the palace and lasted for two hours. At the beginning of Hai Shi, the news of the previous party's dispersal came, and it was considered to end.
The queen drank a little too much tonight.
When the hour came, she didn't even say polite words to the concubines and concubines who filled the palace, so she took the hands of the palace servants and went back to her palace.
The rest also dispersed.
Under the wave platform, everyone is saying goodbye.
Lu Jinxi and Sun Xuedai met here, but I didn't expect the queen to leave so early today without even saying hello.
It's a shame.
"It's getting late, and the banquet is over, so let's go back."
After Sun Xuedai was slightly startled, she knew that the two of them were chatting here, and they didn't say goodbye to the queen. It was somewhat rude, but it wasn't their fault to blame, so she was still calm.
Lu Jinxi smiled lightly and had no objection: "It's just right, I can still say goodbye to the concubine Xiangui."
This is a joke.
Sun Xuedai heard the teasing about Wei Yi in her words, but she didn't take it to heart, she just walked out of the pavilion with her, and wanted to say goodbye to everyone on the table.
Unexpectedly, when they were walking towards Bo platform, there was also someone walking towards them.
Almost as soon as they saw the figure of that person, Lu Jinxi and Sun Xuedai stopped in unison, and the corners of their eyes jumped slightly.
It's Wei Yi.
The graceful figure, as well as the crowd of palace servants who were carefully surrounded by behind, didn't need to think about it to know that there would be no second person besides her.
This is not the way back to her own palace.
Lu Jinxi and Sun Xuedai are both smart people, and it was immediately known that Wei Yi was actually looking for them. I just don't know who it is.
When people come, they bring a faint scent of ambergris.
Lu Jinxi and Sun Xuedai bowed their heads and bowed their heads: "The court lady has seen the virtuous concubine, the concubine, so please give her condolences."
"Why are you two so polite?"
Wei Yi's voice is gorgeous, floating on the lakeside of the snowy lake on New Year's Eve, but it is plainly stained with a dash of sarcasm.
"Get up."
The two stood up as they said.
Wei Yi's eyes fell on them, first looking at Sun Xuedai for a long time.
It seems that she is looking at her judgment to see how she has changed in the past ten years, whether it is good or bad.
Then he smiled lightly and said, "It's snowing in the middle of the night, so I won't stay with Mrs. Tang Shilang any more. Ben Gong and Mrs. Gu have something to say, so I will send them away soon."
