Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 9 Friends

   The sun rises in the east and the breeze blows.

   A girl in red galloped on horseback.

   This jujube red horse is tall and mighty, with smooth fur and powerful hooves. It is a rare BMW with sweat and blood.

   There are only three BMWs in the capital.

  Two of them are in the stable of the emperor's imperial horse. There is another one, which was given to King Xingyang by Emperor Yongjia two years ago. King Xingyang gave the BMW to his daughter who loved him like a palm.

  The sun shines on the BMW's long mane and bright eyes, and also on the face of the girl in red.

   The girl's smooth face seemed to be plated with a layer of light, her complexion was cold and bright, and her expression was high.

   is Lu Mingyu!

  The beautiful girl in a light blue dress stuck her head out of the car window and smiled at Lu Mingyu: "Xiaoyu, why did you come on horseback?"

  Lu Mingyu tightened the reins, turned over and dismounted, the black and smooth blue silk was picked up by the wind and quickly scattered over his shoulders.

   This blue-clothed girl has a surname of Shen and a boudoir name with the Chinese character Lan. His father was a minister of household affairs, in charge of the treasury of gold and silver.

  Shen Shilang is not tall, with a plain appearance and sparse hair. Shen Lan is slender and slender, with a handsome face, and the graceful bearing of an official's daughter.

  Lu Mingyu and Shen Lan, one was a general, and the other was a daughter of a civil servant. One dares to love and dares to hate, and the other is gentle, subtle and self-controlled. Two completely different girls, but they are boudoir friends.

  Lu Mingyu felt warm when he saw his former boudoir friend.

  Shen Lan was three months older than her. In her previous life, Shen Lan and her wife decided to marry and married a new scholar.

   Mr. Shen's gaze in picking his son-in-law was much stronger than that of Lu Lin.

   That Xinke Jinshi came from a scholarly family. After three years in the Hanlin Academy, he sought an expatriate assignment and left Beijing to take up his post. The official journey was smooth and smooth, and a few years later he became the prefect of Jinling.

   On the day Shen Lan left Beijing with her husband, Lu Mingyu, who was already the third concubine, went to see him off in person.

   Shen Lan held her hand reluctantly and said softly, "Let's say goodbye today, I don't know when we can meet again."

"Xiaoyu, you are now the daughter-in-law of the Tian family, and you have two mothers-in-law on your head. This outspoken, outspoken and outrageous temper has to be restrained a little. The newly married Yaner, His Royal Highness the Third Prince treats you very well. Only I'm afraid that over time, there will be changes. You must cherish it a lot."

   At that time, she was still immersed in the sweet love of the newly married, raised her eyebrows with a smile, and answered confidently: "Sister Shen has been worrying too much. He will never fail me."

  Shen Lan sighed softly and said no more.

   And she, in just a few years, suffered from the anger and pain of being maliciously provoked by her mother-in-law and her husband's gradual separation.

   is because she is too proud and confident, thinking that if a husband and wife love each other, they will be able to grow together.

   But I don’t know that people in this world are sinister.

  The mother-in-law who weeps weakly and wipes her tears all day long is narrow-minded, sinister and vicious. The seemingly innocent and honest uncle has a dark and twisted heart. Li Hao's sharp eyes seemed to be stuck in front of his mother and brother.

   Now that I think about it, it’s not that Li Hao doesn’t understand.

   It's just that in his heart, his mother and brother are more important than her.

  …

  Lu Mingyu didn't want to think about it anymore, so he calmed down and smiled at his friend: "I'm tired of riding in a carriage, I can't be as comfortable as riding a horse, so I came on a horse."

  It is not uncommon for the ladies of the Wei Dynasty to go out on horseback.

   However, today is the Queen's banquet, so you have to be cautious. Therefore, the ladies who came to the palace banquet were carefully dressed up and sat dignifiedly in the carriage.

  On horseback, Lu Mingyu was the only one.

  Shen Lan saw Lu Mingyu's inattentive look, smiled and said lightly, "You, you are always so willful. Get on the carriage quickly and sit down for a while."

  The Shen family's carriage was in fourth place, and after three more, it was time to enter the palace.

  Lu Mingyu readily agreed and was about to get on the carriage.

The girl in the fifth row was unhappy, she stuck her head out and glared at Lu Mingyu: "Lu Mingyu, everything has to come first. We all waited for more than half an hour, and you rubbed Sister Shen's carriage as soon as you came. Hello."

  This girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, was dressed in a light yellow shirt, with a delicate face and a hint of arrogance in her smart eyes. It was Jin Can'er, the daughter of the Minister of Industry and Commerce.

The name    is a bit tacky, but the Jin family has been a famous family from the past. The family that has been passed down for hundreds of years has a profound heritage.

   Jin Shangshu got an old woman at the age of fifty, and he was particularly pampered and petted. Jin Can'er is used to being domineering in the palace, and she can't change her bossy temper when she speaks outside.

   However, in terms of domineering and fierceness, Lu Mingyu claims to be second, and no one dares to say that he is first.

  Lu Mingyu glanced at Jin Can'er: "I feel so embarrassed today, how are you doing? If you are not convinced, let's make an appointment for a day, and we will compete on the martial arts field."

  Jin Can'er: "…"

  Lu Mingyu does not show his skills on weekdays, only shows 30% of his divine power and only 50% of his skills. Rao is like this, and he is also an unparalleled master in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

   Just like Jin Can'er's delicate appearance, it's not enough for Lu Mingyu's two punches at all.

  Jin Can'er has suffered a few losses, and will no longer be willing to compete with Lu Mingyu. At this time, he gritted his teeth bitterly, and spit out a few words: "Barbaric!"

Lu Mingyu gave a leisurely smile: "Yes, I have such a savage and cunning temper. If anyone provokes me, I will punch her and beat her to the ground. Eh, think about how others dare to be angry. It's so funny that you don't dare to say it!"

  Jin Can'er: "…"

  Shen Lan burst out in joy.

  Jin Can'er blushed with anger, glared at Lu Mingyu, and angrily pulled down the bamboo curtain.

Isn't    just being angry and not speaking?

   Several carriages that were closer to each other heard light laughter.

  The capital is certainly not small, but the circle of top ladies is not too big. There are no more than thirty or forty civilians and military generals of the third rank or above. The ladies who received invitations to the palace banquet today are not familiar with each other, and most of them have met each other.

   Lu Mingyu's famous name, who does not know?

   The daughter of the King of Xingyang, the number one master among noble girls. She is equally famous for her beauty and her fierce temper.

  Jin Can'er can also bully some soft-hearted people. When she met Lu Mingyu, she immediately kicked the iron plate.

  Lu Mingyu got on the carriage, and Shen Lan was still chuckling: "Besides the palace gate, you don't hold back a bit."

  Lu Mingyu's eyes flickered slightly, twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled with a pun: "Yes, I am born with this temper. If I have any revenge, I will report it on the spot, and I will never leave it to the future."

  What is coming to Japan, what is going on slowly, how can it be compared to cutting the mess with a quick knife.

Shen Lan's smile deepened, she glanced at Lu Mingyu, took out the dressing box, took out the comb, and combed Lu Mingyu's slightly messy hair: "Yes, yes, I know that Miss Lu Fourth is amazing. Don't move now, I'll sort it out for you. Grooming, don't lose your way in the Jiaofang Palace."

  Lu Mingyu didn't reject his friend's good intentions, smiled and nodded slightly.
