The character design collapsed! The general's sick beauty is a killer

Chapter 2: Concealing evil intentions

Third watch time.

The crescent moon hangs low and the stars are quiet.

A black shadow sneaked into Earl Xianchang's mansion like a cat, and no one among the hundreds of guards in the mansion noticed it.

As soon as Tang Xifu opened the door, the little girl in pink clothes flew in front of her from the inside like a butterfly, and almost fell into her arms.

"Miss, you are finally back! Today, my wife brought the eldest and second young ladies to our Xiyu Pavilion. They insist on seeing you. I used the excuse that you were sick today and haven't woken up yet, so I coaxed them back." The little girl pouted.

Pouting, past experience told her that these people were definitely not showing mercy when they came to visit her young lady, "If a weasel pays New Year's greetings to a chicken, they must not have good intentions."

"That's right, the little girl finally has a long memory." Tang Xi rubbed her furry head with approval and walked towards the inner room.

Baozhen followed her like a little tail and said, "Of course, I can't hold the lady back all the time." Her delicate little nose moved and she smelled the smell of blood. She looked around in panic.

Tang Xi: "Miss, are you injured?"

"Yeah." Tang Xi sat weakly on the bed and pulled off his scarf, revealing a face as pale as paper.

"How could it be injured?" Baozhen's voice trembled, and she moved closer to carefully search for the wound. However, Tang Xi was wearing a black night sweater and could not see the wound. Her face was wrinkled and about to cry, "Miss who was injured?

I will avenge you and chop off his head!"

Tang Xi smiled bitterly, it was because she failed to complete the task assigned by the cabinet, and she acted according to the rules when she was punished.

However, it had been a long time since she had been punished by the cabinet, and today she couldn't bear it.

"Do you still remember the bandaging technique I taught you?"

"Remember." Baozhen nodded like a garlic clove, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, turned around and ran to get the medicine box.

Her technique was a bit unfamiliar, and by the time all the wounds were bandaged, it was already dawn.

Tang Xi lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The little girl stood quietly at the edge of the cave, holding her head up, looking at the pale and bloodless face in front of her, her deer-like eyes red and swollen.

Tang Xi slept for a long time.

Until the dazzling sunlight brushed across her eyebrows, her butterfly-wing eyelashes trembled.

The sound of Baozhen arguing with her servants could be heard intermittently outside. The little girl was afraid of disturbing her rest, so she tried her best to keep her voice down, but the anger in her words could still be heard.

Tang Xi smiled helplessly, the little girl was really very angry.

The door was gently pushed open from the outside. Tang Xi followed the sound and saw the scene of Baozhen tiptoeing over with her skirt in hand.

Seeing that she was awake, Baozhen put down her skirt, ran over and leaned beside the bed, looking at her complexion.

It seems to be a little rosier than last night.

Baozhen is very happy.

"Miss, do you want some water? Are you hungry? I made lotus seed porridge, do you want to drink it now?"

Tang Xi slowly shook his head, "What was the noise going on outside just now?"

"Did it disturb the young lady's sleep?" Baozhen was annoyed, "It's because I was too loud, but they were too bullying."

"What's wrong?"

"Tonight, there will be a banquet in the palace for General Ning Yuan. Officials of the fourth rank and above will bring their families to attend. My wife sent someone to inform the young lady to dress up. I said that the young lady is not feeling well today and it is inconvenient to attend, but... can I send a message?

People actually say that the lady didn’t hang around even half a breath, and she didn’t die without dying.” Baozhen clenched her fists and gritted her silver teeth, “These guys are so stubborn, if it weren’t for you, lady,

If they don't let me argue with them, I will pull out their teeth one by one and let them swallow it to see if they dare to talk nonsense in the future."

Tang Xi was amused by her angry look, and couldn't bear her anger anymore, so she said softly: "Baozhen, I want to drink the lotus seed porridge you made."

Baozhen's eyes lit up, and she instantly forgot that she was angry just now, and said happily: "Miss, wait a moment, I'll pick it up right now."

After drinking porridge and eating some pastries to fill his stomach, Baozhen called the maid who had been waiting outside to come in and dress Tang Xi.

Tang Xi sat obediently and let them do whatever they wanted.

It takes almost no effort to dress her up. She doesn't like complicated hairdos, so she can save on hairpins on her head, and only apply a thin layer of rouge and lipstick on her face to enhance her complexion.

Then she put on the peach-colored gauze skirt that she had already prepared, and soon a woman with a slender waist and graceful waist and bright eyes and white teeth appeared in the mirror. Because of her thin body and paler skin than ordinary people, she had a bit of a weak Liu Fufeng morbidity.

"Miss Third, she has such a heavenly appearance that she really looks good in anything she wears." The maid who was dressing up complimented her.

Baozhen, who was standing by, frowned: Stealing her lines, you're a flatterer.

Tang Xi saw this scene in the mirror and smiled silently.

The Earl of Xianchang's Mansion arranged three carriages to enter the palace. Tang Xianchang and his only son Tang You took one carriage, Tang Xi took one, and the remaining carriage Sun Wanrong and her two daughters took.

Because Tang Xi was frail and afraid of the cold, Xian Changbo specially spent a lot of money to build this carriage for her. The carriage would be warm all year round. For this reason, she had to sit separately from Sun Wanrong, mother and daughter.

When Tang Xi arrived, the mother and daughter were still chatting and laughing, enjoying themselves. As soon as they saw her, the smiles on their faces suddenly turned cold.

At a glance, more than a dozen expressions flashed across the faces of the three people, including schadenfreude, alienation, jealousy... just like a circus troupe performing face-changing tricks.

Tang Xi had never been able to talk to them, so he was supported by Baozhen, passed them, and walked towards his carriage.

"Tang Xi, you are also the young lady of the Earl of Xianchang's Palace now," Tang Min looked at her back and said coldly: "If you don't show courtesy when you meet the mistress of the house, you are so ignorant of etiquette. I, Xianchang, can't be seen by outsiders.

Where can I put the face of the Earl's Palace?"

The speaker was Tang Min, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Xianchang. She was seventeen years old and was once a talented woman in the capital. She was outstanding in playing chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, calligraphy and etiquette. With her beautiful appearance, she captured the attention of many nobles in the capital.

The heart of a disciple.

But since Tang Xi returned to Beijing a year ago, her shine has gradually been obscured.

Nowadays, when talking about Earl Xianchang's Mansion, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Tang Xi, the breathtakingly beautiful third lady who suddenly appeared.

Those children from aristocratic families who had fallen in love with her also came to her to inquire about Tang Xi.

Such a huge gap was intolerable to her.

Tang Xi stopped and turned his back to them, his face as cold as ice.

She still remembered that she had just returned to Earl Xianchang's Mansion a year ago and met this rumored virtuous countess for the first time. She had a lot of courtesy, but all she got in exchange was their repeated exchanges.

ridicule.

She was going to be picked on no matter what, so she simply couldn't do anything about it.

Covering her lips with a handkerchief, Tang Xi coughed twice, calmed down her breath, and looked back at her: "Sister, you like to teach others etiquette so much, so why don't you take care of your fiancé? He has been writing to me every day in the past few days.

The poem I don’t understand is like “I know when we will meet each other when we miss each other. I am embarrassed to write a lot of it this night. My sister reads a lot. Can you explain to me what this poem means?”

"Tang Xi, what nonsense are you talking about!" Tang Min's face suddenly turned pale and green, and he didn't care about the image of a lady. "You are such a mouthful, how can Pei Lang like you!"

Baozhen was also surprised. She had never seen these letters before. She looked at Tang Xi and Tang Xi squeezed her arm quietly. Baozhen immediately understood that her young lady was trying to lie to others again.

"Yes, how could my sister spread rumors about her brother-in-law just for the sake of a quick talk?" Tang Shu, Tang Min's sibling, naturally wanted to side with Tang Min.

"Tang Xi! Apologize to your sister quickly!" Sun Wanrong also acted like the matron of the house and scolded sternly.

Tang Xi glanced at the three of them lightly, stroking the broken hair beside his ears, "I still keep those letters. I will send someone to deliver them to you tonight. The eldest sister must recognize my brother-in-law's handwriting, so she can read it

You know I’m not lying.”

"Vixen! You are a vixen!" Tang Min glared at her with red eyes, wishing to tear her disgusting face to pieces right now.

"Sister, please be careful what you say," Tang Xi put his index finger on his lips and said in a sweet voice, "How can I, the young lady from the Earl of Xianchang's Palace, say such vulgar words."

"you--"

"What are you talking about? It's so lively?" A loud voice came from behind the moon cave door, and then a man with a big belly stepped across the threshold. He had a kind face and kind eyes and was full of joy. He was Xianchang Bo Tang Xianchang.

Behind him followed a young man with a delicate and handsome face, wearing a blue brocade suit, with a temperament as beautiful as an orchid, and an extraordinary talent.

From the first time she saw this young man, Tang Xi doubted that he was not Tang Xianchang's biological son. For this reason, she sent people to Yongye Pavilion to check with great interest. Unexpectedly, she did not expect that he was Tang Xianchang's son, with a higher bloodline.

She really is.

However, his biological mother was not Sun Wanrong, but a concubine of Tang Xianchang who died in childbirth. Later Tang Xi's mother Ye Rong married him, and when he was less than two years old, he was raised in Ye Rong's yard.

Later, Tang Xi was abducted by human traffickers, Ye Rong died of depression, and he was sent to Sun Wanrong's knees again.

"Father, brother." Tang Xi, Tang Min and Tang Shu bowed politely together.

Tang Xianchang nodded, stepped forward and personally helped Tang Xi up, looked at her face carefully, and frowned, "Why is Xi'er's face so bad again?"

Tang You also cast his gaze on her face, and quickly closed his eyes again, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I had a bit of cold yesterday, and I'm a bit feverish today. It's okay." Her nasal voice was a bit thick when she spoke.

"Xi'er, you were talking very well just now, why did you suddenly... become like this?" Sun Wanrong tried her best to maintain a dignified and friendly smile.

Tang Xi lowered his head and covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then raised his eyes again, his eyes were red, "I guess I just stood outside for a long time and the wind blew."

Sun Wanrong's smile cracked a little, and he blamed her for not blinking and insisting on stopping her from speaking.

"Father, since Third Sister is not feeling well, she should not go to the palace banquet." Tang You suddenly spoke and looked directly at Tang Xi, with emotions in her eyes that she could not understand.

Tang Xianchang didn't seem to hear what he said. He still smiled at Tang Xi and patted her hand lovingly, "Xi'er, if you feel uncomfortable, please see a doctor. Don't be afraid of spending money. We, Earl Xianchang,

The wealth in the house is money."

Tang Xi saw the clenched fists under Tang You's sleeves. Her eyes dimmed almost undetectably, and she bowed low and said, "Xi'er, thank you father for your concern."

"There is no need to be polite to Xi'er. I am Xi'er's father. Naturally, everything is for Xi'er's good."

Tang Xi smiled slightly and said nothing.

"The wind is blowing again, Xi'er, hurry up and get on the carriage." Tang Xianchang put his arm under Tang Xi's hand and personally helped her get on the carriage.

This was the first time that Tang Min and Tang Shu saw their father helping someone get into the carriage, and the jealousy in their eyes was ready to come out. Tang Min was even more angry, and she was even more angry when she thought that her fiancé had actually written a love letter to the woman in front of her.

Why can I always get the love and affection of all men easily?

Sun Wanrong on the side was very calm, looking at the closed car curtain, a twisted smile flashed in her eyes.

After seeing off Tang Xi, Tang Xianchang strode towards his carriage without even looking at Tang You.

The three carriages started and slowly moved towards the majestic palace.
