My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne
Chapter 133 The Peacock's Scapegoat
Jiang Ruyun looked up and saw that Ye Shixue's hair was full of various gold and jade hairpins, and her clothes were also the most colorful.
It's a pity that her appearance is too plain. This kind of dress would look fine on Xue Youli, but it would look out of place on her face.
Jiang Ruyun looked at her attire and suggested honestly, "Shixue, you have too many headpieces. Isn't it distracting?"
Ye Shixue glanced at Xue Youli's hair and said, "But my cousin has quite a few hairpins on her head."
Jiang Ruyun meant that she had too many hairpins on her head, which was counterproductive.
But Ye Shixue finally got the chance to wear Xue Youli's jewelry. She liked every piece and wished she had three heads.
"Yes, Li'er, your cousin doesn't wear as many jewelry as you do. You are a high-ranking concubine, and you are used to seeing fine things. Unlike your cousin, you don't even have any decent jewelry. Your cousin likes all these jewelry on her head very much. Why don't you give them all to her?"
When Jiang Rushui saw those hairpins, her eyes widened and she kept putting them on her daughter's head.
These hairpins look valuable. Once they are worn on her daughter’s head, they belong to her daughter!
Xue Youli lives such a wealthy life in the palace, she certainly doesn't need these pieces of jewelry!
Xue Youli smiled lightly, "Okay, since my cousin likes it, then I will help her and give her all the jewelry and clothes she is wearing."
"really?"
Ye Shixue opened her eyes wide, her eyes filled with excitement, "Cousin, you're so kind! Mom, come and look at me, am I beautiful like this?"
As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around in front of the few people.
In the sunlight, Jiang Rushui was almost blinded by the glittering pearls on her head. "Beautiful! My daughter is so beautiful! It's true that clothes make the man. When you wear Li'er's clothes and stand next to her, your beauty is simply on par!"
Banxia couldn't help rolling her eyes as she listened to Jiang Rushui telling lies with his eyes open.
The lady's sister is really good at flattering her daughter by trying to scam her master!
The little girl was indignant on behalf of her master when she heard Xue Youli's smiling reply, "Aunt is right. From a distance, who can tell who is who between me and my cousin?"
Although she borrowed Murong Che's men to intercept Xue Qingyao's three carrier pigeons, she checked the Book of Heaven's Secrets and found that Xue Qingyao had released a total of four pigeons.
Chi Yan missed one.
Therefore, Xue Qingyao's back-up plan has been arranged.
However, she had no way of finding out when the killer would act, and was originally racking her brains over how to resolve the crisis.
Unexpectedly, she was so lucky that someone even gave her a pillow when she dozed off.
Since Jiang Rushui and her daughter were coveting her clothes and jewelry, she simply took advantage of their situation and used Ye Shixue as bait to lure out the killer.
"Cousin, the emperor is almost back, right? Shouldn't we go back to the camp?" Ye Shixue was flattered by her mother's praise and wished she could grow wings and fly to Murong Che.
She knew that she could outshine Xue Youli by simply changing her outfit.
Xue Youli saw that the corners of her mouth were almost curled up, and she lowered her head to take a look at herself. "My clothes were also splashed with tea just now. Banxia, accompany me to change clothes, and then return to the camp."
"Yes!" Banxia helped Xue Youli to change clothes happily.
Ye Shixue watched the master and servant walk away, and she suddenly felt anxious. "Mother, is Xue Youli afraid that I will steal her limelight in front of the emperor, so she went to change into something prettier?"
Jiang Rushui glanced at Jiang Ruyun next to her and lowered her voice, "Hold on! Even if she changes again, it's useless. Think about it, the emperor sees that face every day, and he must be tired of it! If the emperor saw a new face like yours, he would definitely be fascinated by you."
She understands men too well. They are all fickle bastards!
Her daughter inherited her beauty and wisdom, and she will definitely be able to control the emperor.
Ye Shixue covered her cheeks with both hands, "Oh, Mom, please stop talking!"
"Shixue, once you enter the palace and are favored, you must ask the emperor to promote your father more!"
The thing Jiang Rushui regretted most in her life was letting Jiang Ruyun marry Xue Huaiyuan. She herself married a useless man, which led to her life being unsatisfactory in every way.
Now she was counting on her daughter to catch the emperor's eye this time. If one of her daughters succeeded, the whole family would also benefit from it.
Ye Shixue nodded, "Mom, don't worry. The day I gain a foothold in the harem will be the day my father rises to prominence!"
Jiang Rushui listened to her daughter's promise and smiled from ear to ear. "Okay, okay, I know all these years of loving you have not been in vain! When your brother Yaozu grows up, I will let him become an official in the court and support you!"
Ye Yaozu is only a five-year-old child now, and it will take a very long time for him to grow up.
But this does not stop the mother and daughter from daydreaming.
Not long after, Xue Youli came back with Banxia.
She did not change into an elegant and luxurious outfit as Jiang Rushui and her daughter had guessed.
On the contrary, she took off all the jewelry on her head and wore a sky blue long dress without any embroidery on it.
Ye Shixue almost laughed out loud when she saw Xue Youli's outfit. "Mom, Xue Youli really helps us when we're in trouble! She never even thinks of stealing my limelight!"
"Yeah." Jiang Rushui stared at Xue Youli, a hint of doubt in his heart.
Xue Youli was dressed so simply, and on the surface it seemed that she was indeed helping her daughter Shi Xue, but why did she think Xue Youli looked so good even in this simple outfit?
But no matter what Xue Youli's intentions were, as long as the emperor fell in love with her precious daughter, it would be too late for Xue Youli to regret it.
Xue Youli saw the mother and daughter whispering to each other, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Let's go."
Jiang Rushui nodded hurriedly, "Let's go, let's go!"
When she first heard the news of Xue Youli entering the palace, she didn't take it seriously. She didn't want her daughter to suffer from palace fighting.
Who would have thought that someone as stupid as Xue Youli could climb to the position of concubine, and her daughter is so smart, so shouldn’t she become the queen?
On the way back to the camp, Banxia glanced at Ye Shixue, who was rushing to the camp, and angrily spoke up for Xue Youli, "Master, your cousin is clearly jealous of your favor and wants to enter the palace to share the emperor's favor with you. Why are you helping her?"
Xue Youli didn't take Ye Shixue seriously at all and asked casually, "What do you think of the emperor's vision?"
Banxia thought seriously for a moment, "The Emperor's vision is naturally excellent!"
"So you think he's attracted to Ye Shixue, this peacock?"
"Pfft..." Banxia glanced at Ye Shixue's hairpin-covered head and burst out laughing. "Master, your analogy is so apt!"
Not long after they returned to the camp, Murong Che and the Nanzhao envoys also came out of the hunting ground.
Murong Che was wearing a narrow-sleeved riding and shooting suit that outlined his long legs and slender waist, and he was wearing black riding boots.
Ye Shixue looked at the tall and handsome man, watched him throw the bow and arrow in his hand to his men, and watched him walk towards them. She was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe.
"Your Majesty, your concubine!"
"Your Majesty!"
Xue Youli, her daughter, and Jiang Rushui watched the man approach and quickly saluted.
Jiang Rushui turned around and saw Ye Shixue standing there in a daze, so he quietly pinched her lower back.
Ye Shixue felt pain and woke up as if from a dream, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Because the hair accessories on her head were so many and heavy, the moment she lowered her head her body suddenly leaned forward and she almost fell flat on her face.
Fortunately, Jiang Ruyun was quick-witted and pulled her back, preventing her from losing her composure in front of the emperor.
Murong Che glanced at Ye Shixue and his brows immediately furrowed.
Seeing her standing behind Xue Youli, he raised his eyebrows at Xue Youli and asked, "Who is this person with the opening screen?"
Murong Che knows how to describe things. Using the phrase "opening screen" to describe Ye Shixue's look is truly vivid and descriptive!
Xue Youli replied, "This is my cousin. She came to see me today with my aunt."
Actually, looking at me is just a side effect, the most important thing is to look at you.
Before Xue Youli finished speaking, Ye Shixue impatiently took two steps forward, "Your Majesty, I have a deep bond with my cousin. After she entered the palace, I often missed her and couldn't sleep at night!"
Seeing her trying desperately to squeeze towards Murong Che, Xue Youli tactfully stepped back a few steps and gave her the seat.
Ye Shixue glanced at the handsome face so close to her, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
The man had thick eyelashes, light peach blossom eyes that seemed to be filled with deep affection, an unattainable nose, and thin lips that were slightly pursed, revealing a cold and distant feeling.
It was the first time she saw such a handsome man!
Just as Ye Shixue was lost in the man's stunning beauty, Murong Che frowned unhappily, "Stay away from me, you're blinding me."
"ah,?"
Ye Shixue didn't expect that the first words the man said to her were full of disgust.
But she didn't give up and still stood there without moving, "Your Majesty, your servant..."
Murong Che looked at her ridiculously ugly outfit, and a hint of impatience appeared on his handsome face. "I don't want to repeat what I said a second time, get out!"
Ye Shixue was stunned. She looked at the man's tense profile, opened her mouth, and was about to say something when she heard Xue Youli's exclamation.
"Be careful, Your Majesty!"
