After the Palace Banquet, the Empress Dowager proposed to go to the pond outside the Yuming hall to enjoy the lotus.

The pond in the palace was dug by craftsmen, following the Yongning River in Yanjing City, so it is very broad. In summer, the ten mile lotus pond is green, the moon is in the sky, and the stars are dotted, which is very beautiful.

The sultry days have been swept away, which is refreshing.

Appreciating flowers after the banquet is probably the favorite of dignitaries.

Jiang Li also followed the Jiang family to the lotus pond. Ji shuran and Jiang Youyao also followed her. Jiang Li knew that this was not Ji shuran's intention to show affection for her stepdaughter, but she didn't care about it.

On the water corridor, ladies and ladies sat down with melon and fruit snacks on the table. Jiang Li was walking towards the other end. Suddenly, she felt something stuffed in her palm. Looking back, she saw a strange maid pass by her.

She pinched the thing in her hand, and vaguely identified it as a note. She couldn't help glancing at Ji shuran and Jiang Youyao, thinking that this was Ji shuran's arrangement. But seeing Ji shuran was right, as if she hadn't noticed this, she was a little puzzled for a moment.

But when she finally came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Jiang Li deliberately fell behind. Taking advantage of the absence of Ji shuran and Jiang Youyao, she opened her palm. It was indeed a note, and a line of small characters could be seen by the dim lantern light.

See you at Yuxiu Pavilion at the east gate behind the garden. The signature is: Zhou Yanbang.

Jiang Li was stunned. Ji shuran was already calling her, so she immediately kneaded the note into a ball. She wanted to throw it into the lake, but suddenly she thought of something and hid it in her sleeve again.

As soon as she came to Ji shuran, Ji shuran laughed and said, "pear is walking slower."

Jiang Li smiled right, but she was very angry with Zhou Yanbang's note. Zhou Yanbang should not be arranged by Ji shuran. With Jiang Youyao's attention to Zhou Yanbang, she would never let anything involve Zhou Yanbang. Zhou Yanbang should be his own idea.

Jiang Li never expected that Zhou Yanbang would also be involved here. She didn't know how the prince of Ningyuan came to be confident, and she would really go to the appointment with a note. Maybe Zhou Yanbang thinks Miss Jiang Er is still in love with him? But Jiang Li carefully recalled that after returning to Yanjing City, she and Zhou Yanbang had only a few face-to-face meetings, and did not show any interest in Zhou Yanbang.

Generally, a person who is passionate about himself can always find evidence that the other party loves him no matter how cold he is to him.

Jiang Li thought in her heart that she and ye Shijie would not do what Ji shuran wanted today, but just like this, it seems to be too cheap for Ji shuran.

Since she came to the Jiang family, Jiang Li has been looking at everyone in the Jiang family from the perspective of an outsider. She sympathized with the real second Miss Jiang, but she didn't want to be too involved in the turmoil of the Jiang family before her family revenge, saving more accidents.

Therefore, adhering to the idea that people don't commit crimes against me and I don't commit crimes, when Ji shuran hurt her, she fought back. Jiang Li thought it was not too much. But this time, Ji shuran really annoyed Jiang Li.

Ji shuran's means were really too bad, which made her think of her original self. The past scene repeats itself. New hatred and old hatred make Jiang Li very willing to retaliate at this moment.

The world says that the real revenge is to rob the most precious thing in the people's hearts and tear up the insult. Ji shuran loves Jiang Youyao and Jiang Bingji most. Jiang Bingji is too small to lose. But Jiang Youyao is different.

Jiang Youyao's most obsessive now is not Zhou Yanbang, the prince of Ningyuan. Ji shuran's mother and daughter tried every means to snatch the marriage from Miss Jiang Er, and were always on guard that the marriage was snatched back by Miss Jiang er. At present, Jiang Youyao hates Jiang Li because of Zhou Yanbang, which is Jiang Youyao's weakness.

Jiang Li's fingers rubbed the short note in her sleeve and suddenly smiled.

Since Zhou Yanbang himself wants to wade into this muddy water, he can't blame her for bringing disaster to the East. Jiang Youyao is always on guard against herself, but she doesn't know that Zhou Yanbang is a beautiful man in Yanjing city. She is not the only woman who wants to marry Zhou Yanbang, such as her former sister-in-law Shen Ruyun, and Jiang yu'e, the third wife of the Jiang family and the son of a concubine.

If Jiang yu'e had a chance to marry into the Marquis of Ningyuan, how would Jiang yu'e choose? On the one hand, there are sisters who are hot in weekdays, and on the other hand, there are good people who may never meet again in the future. Jiang yu'e's choice, Jiang Li is very looking forward to.

Ji shuran raised her eyes to Jiang Li from time to time, and time slowly passed. Jiang Li stretched out her hand to spend her forehead and whispered, "mother, I'm a little dizzy..."

Why so fast? Ji shuran was puzzled. She thought that the effect would take longer to take effect. At present, Jiang Li said so, and she had to respond. She was afraid that staying longer would let people see the clues. It was inevitable that something would happen, so she had to let Jiang Li leave in advance.

Ji shuran said to a maid standing nearby, "first help the second lady back to her room and have a good rest. I'll pick her up later."

Jiang Youyao tentatively asked, "second sister?"

Jiang Li frowned slightly and waved her hand, but she accidentally touched a cup on one side. A full cup of tea splashed on Jiang yu'e's skirt.

Jiang yu'e screamed "ah" and hurriedly stood up.

Jiang Li widened her eyes slightly, and seemed to be a little sober. She hurriedly said, "sorry, five younger sisters, I didn't mean to get your clothes." Looking at the stain on Jiang yu'e apologetically, "what can I do now? Why don't you go to change clothes with me, and I just have a rest."

"No need..." Ji shuran was about to stop.

"Mother, this is the Palace Banquet. After all, the five younger sisters are not beautiful in dirty clothes. There should be some emergency clothes in the palace. If there is no Ji Li's empress, there should always be some. The five younger sisters had better change."

Jiang yu'e was just a little annoyed. She wore this dress for the first time today. Because it was made by the old lady, she had no chance to wear such a good dress on weekdays. At this moment, it was all destroyed by Jiang Li. Suddenly I heard Jiang Li talking about Li Bin, and my heart was moved. If the clothes Li Bin found for her were made of materials from the palace, it might be better than what the old lady gave. Immediately stood up and said with a smile, "aunt, it's OK. I'll go with the second sister. The second sister is right. She is wearing dirty clothes. I'm afraid that others will say that our yuan family is disrespectful to his majesty. I can take care of the second sister on the way."

Ji shuran's hands are slightly wet, and Jiang yu'e doesn't know her plan. Ji shuran really doesn't want Jiang yu'e to break her business. But I was relieved when I thought about it. When I was halfway there, I asked people to lead Jiang yu'e away. Jiang Li was still as planned. Moreover, the effect of ginger and pear is so fast that they leave the table early and have enough time to decorate. Ji shuran winked at the palace lady beside her and said, "in that case, you two go first."

Yang didn't speak. Although Jiang yu'e was her daughter, Jiang yu'e fawned on the big room all day long and was closer to Ji shuran, the big aunt, than her own mother. Yang was used to it.

Jiang yu'e, together with Jiang Li, followed the strange maid in waiting to leave.

Not far from the Huxin Pavilion, at the edge of the water corridor, there are many empty tea houses, which are prepared for the noble people in the palace to have a headache temporarily, to rest or change clothes. There are few people on weekdays. It's very quiet.

Jiang Li walked with Jiang yu'e. I don't know if it was because she drank too much wine at the Palace Banquet. Jiang yu'e also felt dizzy as she walked. Jiang Li talked to her about Jiang Youyao's marriage as she walked.

"... today, I heard my mother talk about the marriage between the third sister and Zhou Shizi, and the third sister was very happy. I looked at Mrs. Hou of Ningyuan, who was also very satisfied with the third sister."

"... speaking of it, the marriage of the three younger sisters is really not bad. Zhou Shizi is also one in a hundred in Yanjing city. But I have no fate with Zhou Shizi, and I can only find someone else in the future."

"..... the fifth sister is almost ready to go. I heard the boy in my father's yard mention that the third uncle is also asking his father to show the fifth sister whether there is a suitable family. I don't know whose residence the fifth sister will enter in the future."

Jiang Li suddenly mentioned this. Jiang yu'e suspected that Jiang Li was retaliating against herself. Shiqing, who engaged Jiang Youyao and Zhou Yanbang last time, told her that Jiang Li must be sad. But at the moment, Jiang Li poked a knife into her heart again. Speaking of her marriage, Jiang yu'e couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Jiang yu'e said, "the second sister is very concerned about my marriage, but I'm still young and a little younger than the second sister. The second sister also said that my father is no bigger than my uncle. If you really want to find someone, naturally you can't compare with the second sister and the third sister." When saying this, Jiang yu'e was still a little angry. If it were normal, she would not say such words naturally, but today she may be a little drunk, and she has a lot of courage to speak.

Jiang Li glanced at her, which seemed to contain a bit of pity: "if you want to say why people can't choose their own origin, in my opinion, compared with the third sister, your appearance is not bad, your talent is not low, but you lose in your origin. If you are the daughter of the big room, you and Zhou Shizi are also very suitable."

Not to mention it, Jiang yu'e thought of all the injustices she and Jiang Youyao had done in the Jiang family. She suddenly felt aggrieved, and her heart was sour. For a moment, she didn't answer Jiang Li's words.

Jiang Li said to herself, "it's a pity that Wu Mei is so handsome and talented that you can only match an unknown man in the future, not to mention being compared with Zhou Shizi, and even ordinary official children can't be compared. Also, being a wife for ordinary people may not be as good as being a concubine for Zhou Shizi. Unfortunately," she was about to stop talking, shook her head, and sighed, "it's fate for people to be better than people, not as good as people."

Jiang yu'e felt even worse. What she hated most in her life was to be compared with others. But when she was in Jiang's house, it seemed that anyone could come up and trample on her. Hate in the heart, and unwilling to lose out in the mouth, Jiang yu'e said, "I'm such a life. Of course, it's not as good as the third sister, but the second sister is also kind-hearted. Zhou Shizi was originally able to marry the second sister, but now he has become the second sister's brother-in-law, and the second sister can actually calm down. No wonder people who stay in the temple for a period of time will be pure hearted and have few desires."

Jiang yu'e thought that Jiang Li's appearance of light clouds and light winds must be pretended. If she had changed herself, she would definitely not be so relaxed. But Jiang yu'e often wants to appreciate the stabbing knife in Jiang Li, but she always returns in vain. Jiang Li just doesn't know how to be angry.

Sure enough, this time, Jiang Li just smiled faintly after hearing Jiang yu'e's provocative words and said, "what if you're willing or not? It's always like this. Moreover, I also have a chance in the future. Although I'm not as good as last week's son, there are still challenges after all, and the fifth sister..." she glanced at Jiang yu'e meaningfully and didn't say anything.

Jiang yu'e knows what Jiang Li hasn't finished saying. Jiang yu'e can pick no more people than Jiang Li.

Maybe she was angry and resentful in her heart. Jiang yu'e also felt hot and dizzy. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

As Jiang Li spoke, Yu Guang paid attention to the look of the maid in waiting who led the way. Seeing that the maid in waiting listened to her conversation with Jiang yu'e, but she was not moved at all, Jiang Li was more alert in her heart.

After walking a long way, suddenly a palace maid came to her face. She only smiled at Jiang yu'e and said, "the concubine asked the maid to take Miss Jiang Wu to the side room to pick up clothes first," and smiled at Jiang Li, "Miss Jiang Er went to the front room to sit and rest first. After Miss Jiang Wu picked up her clothes, the maid sent her back."

Jiang Li sneered in her heart. Ji shuran's people really couldn't wait to spread Jiang yu'e out and do the whole set of acting. She smiled slightly, pressed her forehead and said to Jiang yu'e, "in that case, five younger sisters, let's go first. I have a bad headache. I'll go to rest first and wait for you in the room."

Jiang yu'e was angry with Jiang Li all the way. Naturally, she wouldn't say anything wrong. Besides, being able to pick the clothes prepared for her by her concubine made Jiang yu'e happy. Jiang yu'e answered, and saw Jiang Li turn around with the maid who was the first to lead the way and continue to walk forward.

But in the moment of turning around, something suddenly fell out of Jiang Li's sleeve.

Jiang yu'e was close, and subconsciously bent down and picked it up. It was a note. Jiang yu'e was about to call Jiang Li to stop, but in an instant, with the lantern light hanging on the corridor, she saw the handwriting on the note.

Jiang yu'e's voice suddenly swallowed into her throat.

Holding the note, she stood up and saw Jiang Li's back walking farther and farther, and her heart beat fast.

On that note, it turned out that Zhou Yanbang wanted to make a private appointment with Jiang Li. It seems that it should be tonight. Jiang yu'e's first reaction was to give this note to Ji shuran, so that Jiang Li's scandal would be exposed to others. On this thought, her dizziness was much better.

Jiang yu'e hid the note in her sleeve, and the figures of Jiang Li and the palace maid had turned across the corridor and could no longer be seen. Jiang yu'e turned around and looked at the palace maid who was looking at her and was about to take her to choose clothes. She smiled and said, "my second sister is really careless. I don't know if she lost something. I'll think of a way to return it to her later. Let's go."

Jiang yu'e also followed the palace maid who appeared halfway and turned around to walk in the other direction.

On the other hand, Jiang Li, who was walking with the maid of honor to the tea room, quietly cocked up the corners of her mouth.

When she dropped the note and there was no sound behind her, she knew that Jiang yu'e was hooked.

In such an environment, Jiang Li threw away the note, and Jiang yu'e couldn't have missed it. Jiang yu'e didn't shout to stop her, so she naturally saw the handwriting on the note clearly.

What Jiang yu'e wants to do is to ask Ji shuran for credit, but even if she gives this note to Ji shuran, it doesn't mean anything, because Jiang Li didn't go to the appointment. However, if Jiang yu'e listened to what Jiang Li had just said along the way, she would make a different choice.

With Jiang yu'e's competitive and unwilling to yield to others, it is easy to be blinded by immediate interests. Jiang Li said, "it's better to be a concubine for Zhou Yanbang than a wife for ordinary people", but any woman with brains and dignity will not agree, but Jiang yu'e is not necessarily.

For now, just solve this one.

Jiang Li turned a corner again with the guide maid, and then came to the tea room at the end of the corridor. The palace maid laughed and said, "Miss Jiang, please go in and have a rest first. There are tea and snacks in it. The maid will go and bring some copper ice to relieve the summer heat."

Jiang Li said, "go."

The maid of honor left. Jiang Li sat down quietly. In a moment, she stood up and walked to the incense burning in the house. With a hook on her lips, she easily broke the incense in two.

About once, Jiang Li's heart was surprisingly calm at this moment. Her hand touched a small machete in her sleeve, which was given to her by Jiang Jingrui when he heard that she was going to Mingyi hall to study. At present, the machete is hidden in Jiang Li's sleeve. No one in the palace would have thought that Jiang Yuanbai's daughter would bring such a sharp weapon into the palace, otherwise Jiang Li would have a mouth.

She was not in a hurry. She sat down again in front of the small table and supported her face with her hand. It looked like she was pretending to sleep, but her other hand gently knocked on the desktop, and the oil lamp in front of her also rustled and fell lanterns, which was very dazzling.

The maid in waiting outside won't leave yet. Jiang Li thought in her heart, at least until ye Shijie came in. Just don't know how far Ye Shijie's unconsciousness is, but if ye Shijie's unconsciousness is really serious, Jiang Li doesn't mind letting the price of blood sober him, and she gently touched the machete in her sleeve.

I don't know how long it took, I saw that the oil in the oil lamp was less than half, and suddenly someone spoke outside. After a while, the door opened with a "squeak", and someone came in from the outside.

Jiang Li still sleeps with her chin on her back.

"Master ye, take a rest here first, and then go and add some tea." A woman's voice said so.

Jiang Li didn't understand. The door was gently closed again, and the sound of stumbled footsteps suddenly came.

Jiang Li's heart tightened, and she felt the smell of wine suddenly lingering on the tip of her nose. She endured and endured, and she didn't know whether the maid in waiting outside was still there, but she felt someone pushing and shoving herself.

At that moment, memories of previous lives suddenly flooded into my mind.

Although Xue Fangfei didn't remember anything at that time, only remembering that she was drunk, she woke up with disdainful eyes and accusations to countless people, but she repeated what might happen in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more disgusting it was, the more terrifying it was.

Although it turned out that it was just a conspiracy, her weak and powerless self was unforgivable forever.

Jiang Li suddenly took out the machete in her sleeve and resisted the other party accurately. Her voice was cool and restrained, with an uncontrollable violence, saying, "Ye Shijie."

The other party's breathing suddenly became gentle.

She opened her eyes and saw that the tip of her knife was against Ye Shijie's throat. The latter's cheeks were flushed, and he looked drunk, but he looked at her with a kind of stunned eyes.

Jiang Li frowned slightly.

Ye Shijie was not drunk. He was awake.

……

Jiang yu'e was taken to another side room by the palace maid who led the way, waiting to change her clothes.

In fact, she couldn't wait to take the note in her sleeve to Ji shuran and show it to Ji shuran, so she didn't even have the patience to wait for the person who sent the clothes. When I was a little upset, I couldn't help but read the note that fell from Jiang Li again.

Jiang yu'e thought in her heart. Unexpectedly, Jiang Li said on the surface that she didn't care about Zhou Yanbang, but she didn't expect to break ties with Zhou Yanbang in the dark. Speaking of it, Jiang Li is also Jiang Yuanbai's daughter. If this thing is really poked out, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. The two legitimate daughters of the Zhou family can't afford to offend. I don't know who Zhou Yanbang will marry?

Should marry Jiang Youyao, after all, Jiang Youyao is now engaged to Zhou Yanbang.

After all, Zhou Yanbang still wants to form an in laws relationship with the eldest son of the Jiang family.

Somehow, Jiang yu'e's heart suddenly reappeared what Jiang Lifang had just said.

"Five younger sister, you are so handsome and talented that you can only match an unknown man in the future, not to mention being compared with Zhou Shizi, even ordinary official children. Also, being a wife to ordinary people may not be as good as being a concubine to Zhou Shizi."

Jiang yu'e thought bitterly, why isn't the person Zhou Yanbang met her? It is clear that she is not inferior to Jiang Li and Jiang Youyao, but because of her origin, she is not even qualified to enter Zhou Yanbang's eyes?

Thinking that the person entangled by Jiang Li and Jiang Youyao is the prince of Ningyuan like Zhou Yanbang, but his future husband doesn't know whether he can compare with Zhou Yanbang's toe last week, Jiang yu'e suddenly has a kind of feeling of vagueness, as if she is not interested in anything, and even wants to see Jiang Li make a fool of herself.

Her forehead was dizzy from time to time, and Jiang yu'e's heart gradually warmed up. Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through her mind.

What if the person you meet with Zhou Yanbang today is yourself?

If I were with Zhou Yanbang in the name of Jiang Li and this note, would Zhou Yanbang pity me and give me a trace of love, so as to find a way to bring myself into the Marquis of Ningyuan?

Jiang yu'e didn't immediately want to be Zhou Yanbang's wife like a fool's dream. She knew that it was absolutely impossible to become Zhou Yanbang's wife in her own identity. But isn't it good to be a concubine and a noble concubine? Jiang Li is right. It's better to be a concubine for Zhou Yanbang than to be a wife for civilian children. At least Zhou Yanbang is a young talent praised by everyone in Yanjing city. He has a big family, a big career, and a handsome wife. It's really good to marry him.

The more I think about it, the more feasible it is. Jiang yu'e looks at the note in her hand and suddenly clutches it tightly.

So she decided.

Just at this time, the maid in charge of delivering clothes outside the door was returning with her clothes. Seeing this, Jiang yu'e hurriedly stood up.

She couldn't wait to change into clean clothes to go to Zhou Yanbang's appointment. Her anxious appearance made the palace maids a little confused. Jiang yu'e, intending to distract others, laughed and said, "I suddenly want to go to the thatched cottage. I'll go after changing my clothes. My sister doesn't have to accompany me here. Just point me in the direction."

The maid in waiting was probably just the messenger called by Ji shuran, and there was nothing else to do after the work was finished. Therefore, there was no doubt about Jiang yu'e's words, so she pointed Jiang yu'e in a direction and said, "not far, miss, go straight ahead, and you can see it at the end to the right."

Jiang yu'e changed her clothes, opened the door and went out. First, she walked in the direction of the thatched cottage. When she reached the end and turned to the right, she turned her head and saw that there was no one to follow. She immediately turned her head and walked in the other direction.

As Zhou Yanbang said on the note, the Yuxiu Pavilion at the east gate behind the garden.

Jiang yu'e walked very fast. At the end, she trotted all the way.

When running, the refreshing night wind blew on her face, which was very comfortable, but it didn't blow out the flame in Jiang yu'e's heart at all, but her heart was getting hotter and hotter.

She had thought it over. When she saw Zhou Yanbang, she told him about her admiration and the pain she had suffered in the yuan family. She would also leave oneortwo tears during the introduction. Men, who are proud of their admiration for beauty, are those who call themselves gentlemen, and do not have the heart to blame the girl for her love. Moreover, men like to pity the weak. She was born in a pitiful way. When the time comes, even if Zhou Yanbang didn't pay attention to himself before, he can't help but soften his heart.

As long as she gets Zhou Yanbang, as long as she can have a relationship with Zhou Yanbang... Jiang yu'e bites her lips, she can get rid of her fate of marrying a civilian child who has no status in the future!

At this time, recalling Jiang Li's words just now, the sarcasm and seeming contempt in those words made Jiang yu'e's heart burn like fire.

What about the Jiang family's big room? Between Jiang Li and Jiang Youyao, it is doomed that only one person can marry Zhou Yanbang. Whether it is Jiang Li or Jiang Youyao, there is always a loser.

If I can enter the Ningyuan Marquis mansion, there will always be one, there will always be a long-term legitimate daughter who has lost to me. It doesn't matter if you marry as a concubine, it depends on the face of your wife. Jiang yu'e thought that Jiang Li used to be false and noble, and Jiang yu'e was spoiled by Ji shuran. Naturally, they didn't know how to please men.

But Jiang yu'e was confident that she could win Zhou Yanbang's heart.

While thinking in my heart, Yuxiu Pavilion in Dongyuan has entered.

The attic on the water is now dark, and there is not even a light in it. It can be seen that no one comes on weekdays. Zhou Yanbang will choose a place, or this place is what he has been optimistic about for a long time, so he is waiting for today's tryst with Jiang Li here.

Jiang yu'e smiled gently and walked in with her feet raised.

Her heart became hotter and stronger. I don't know if it was because of her mood. Jiang yu'e even felt that her forehead began to sweat slightly, and her breathing became a little sluggish. She wanted to find something cold and cool to stick it on to alleviate this heat.

She stopped, breathed out a long breath, and stopped in front of Yuxiu Pavilion.

As long as she enters this door, she can turn a sparrow into a phoenix and get rid of the possible mediocre life in the future. This is the money she earned for herself, which has nothing to do with San Fang.

Jiang yu'e opened the door and stepped in.
