Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

After choosing clothes, you need to match them with jewelry accessories.

Liu Lu picked out a red string with a pearl hanging around her neck, simple yet elegant, and a white jade pendant around her waist.

As she walked, her white jade and horse-faced skirt swayed gently, and the tassels of her step-shaking ornaments swayed.

"Madam is so beautiful."

People like to hear good words. When they are praised for being beautiful, they feel happy.

Xiao Yunxi's appearance is not enough to be called a peerless beauty, at most she is pretty and handsome, with fresh and unworldly features, and a firmness between her eyebrows.

Combined with her delicate and petite face, there is a strong sense of contrast, which is the most attractive thing about her.

When Zhou Jin saw Xiao Yunxi, he couldn't help but be a little stunned. His wife is so beautiful. Insisting on marrying Xiao Yunxi was the best decision in his life.

Now my mother is also convinced, everything is ready, just waiting for the wedding, the beauty is bubbling.

It was Xiao Yunxi's first time attending such a banquet. When the carriage arrived at Suzaku Gate, she was stunned by the grand spectacle before her.

Luxurious carriages of all kinds were jammed at the Suzaku Gate, making it as busy as a vegetable market.

There is no problem if the officials with higher official positions are in front and the officials with lower official positions are lined up at the back. The worst thing is that the officials have the same official positions and the two sides do not get along.

"I'm a third-rank official, so I'll go first."

"I am also a third-rank official. Why should you enter?"

"Looking for trouble, huh?"

"Why are you not convinced?"

"What if you're not convinced?"

"If you don't agree, hit me."

Just as the two were about to come to blows, a more luxurious carriage pulled up from behind.

"I'm a second-rank official, I'll go first."

Unable to compete with each other in rank, the two third-rank officials stepped aside obediently. Just as the second-rank officials were about to enter,

"I'm also a second-grade rank, I'll go first."

"Why should you go first?"

"Beat me if you don't agree?"

Soon the scene entered into a nesting doll mode, with no one giving way. The guards were very troubled, and Eunuch Sheng, who was in charge of reception at the palace gate, was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.

In the end, there was no choice but to go in together since they had the same position and no one would give way to the other.

When it was Zhou Jin's turn, as expected, a marquis' son stood up to challenge him and insisted that he go first.

Although they are both princes, their status is different.

The Marquis of Zhenbei is the second highest marquis after the Duke, and his position is even more transcendent. Zhou Jin himself serves in the Five Military Commandery, which is something many princes cannot compare with.

The most important thing is that Zhou Jin has secret guards. Although the emperor is suppressing the People's Supervision Department, this organization has not been replaced in a day.

The secret guards have special privileges.

No one in the capital city wants to mess with Zhou Jin, for fear of being targeted by him. This prince jumped out not because he is a tiger, but because he is deliberately looking for trouble.

Since you are here to provoke me intentionally, there is no need to be polite.

He blocked the position of the other carriage and tried to squeeze in. The prince was furious and wanted to attack the horse pulling the carriage.

boom!

Zhou Jin cut the rope of the opponent's carriage in advance, and the shaft of the opponent's carriage hit the ground directly with a loud noise. The prince almost fell off the horse.

Zhou Jin's carriage entered the Suzaku Gate, and Eunuch Sheng greeted him with a smile.

"Out of control."

He was talking about the prince who was looking for trouble. No matter how incompetent Zhou Jin was, he still had to call the emperor his uncle. He had secret guards at his command and was the cousin of the King of Qin.

If this matter gets out of hand, the prince's family will be in trouble.

In the fight for the throne, not everyone can be a chess piece. If you try to be one without the strength, you may die without knowing how you died.

"Which prince's man is that?"

"The Fourth Prince."

Xiao Yunxi curled her lips. After tonight, she wondered if the Fourth Prince would still be so arrogant.

North of the city,

In a dilapidated courtyard in Yanzuofang, a man in black robes and the Second Prince were trading with a glass merchant.

"Are all the goods here?"

"All of them."

The man in black robe carried out the box, along with some silver notes, totaling 1000 million taels. The glass merchant counted them and confirmed that they were correct, then left with his men.

dark place,

Zhao En and Zhu Guangxiao were leading their men in ambush. The glass merchants had already left, and the man in black robe had no intention of taking action.

"what's the situation?"

"Why did you let him go?"

Zhu Guangxiao didn't know the answer either. The man in black robe signaled to attack, and they didn't have time to think and led their men to attack.

the other side,

The glass merchant led his men out of the courtyard and walked out of two alleys, where they were blocked from front and back by a group of men in black.

"Who are you?"

"The one who wants you dead."

The man in black rushed towards the glass merchant without hesitation. The merchant raised his mouth, looking like a crooked-mouthed dragon king, and snorted coldly:

"I'm afraid you might break a tooth."

Archers emerged from the high walls on both sides of the alley, and shot gleaming arrows like raindrops at the men in black.

In the courtyard and the alley, there was fighting, in the palace there was singing and dancing, in the Wenhua Palace,

Wenhua Hall,

The place where the princes studied was also the location for important banquets.

The banquet was solemn and dignified, and men and women were interacting with each other with subtle smiles, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Those who were able to attend the banquet were the real top aristocrats in the imperial city. Some businessmen would spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to get an invitation in an attempt to establish a relationship with the nobles.

In such an occasion, the scenes of tearing hair flowers in movies and TV dramas are impossible to appear, but secret confrontations are inevitable.

The eldest princess is the most favored princess in the royal family. She has the most female relatives around her and hears compliments all the time, but she finds them extremely irritating.

If it were normal days, Princess Gaoyang would definitely be by her side. Now she is imprisoned. No matter how powerful the princess is,

It's so ironic that he can't even protect his own daughter.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She wished the public trial would begin right now and she could trample Xiao Yunxi to death in front of everyone!

She searched the hall but could not find Xiao Yunxi. Instead, she found Shen Shumo talking to some noble ladies who usually disliked her.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes,

The officials in the court had their own factions, and the female members of the family also had their own circles, and they did not like each other. She suddenly came with her men and caught everyone off guard.

"You don't even know how to behave when you see me? Do you even know the rules?"

The ladies frowned and said, "You come over and question me without even giving me any response. What the hell is that?"

"Greetings, Your Highness..."

Even if they were unhappy, they still bowed. The feudal society was strictly hierarchical. She was a princess with a high status, so she still had to follow the rules.

They follow the rules, but the eldest princess is a little unreasonable.

The women of Daxia perform the Wanfu ceremony. Although they do not need to kneel down, they have to bend their knees slightly. It is fine for a short time, but it will be very tiring if it lasts for a long time.

Everyone bowed for a long time, but the princess didn't even call them to get up.

What's up?

Not only can you not show off, you also want to show off your power?

The status of the noble ladies is not as noble as that of the princesses, but their husbands are at least third-rank officials, and their families are big families. Who doesn’t have a temper?

It is true that you are a princess, and they will recognize you if you act pretentiously. But if you act too pretentiously, you will be shameless and no one will care about your dignity.
