Chapter 149 It’s none of your business
After Shangguan Ziling got up and washed herself, she looked radiant and energetic. After breakfast, she called Dongqing.
Shangguan Ziling treated him with acupuncture. Her technique was skillful, her eyes were focused, and every movement seemed so natural and smooth. After a while, the treatment was completed. Shangguan Ziling gently gave a few instructions and left the room.
As soon as they saw Shangguan Ziling walk out of the room, they immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"Miss, let's go now." Xia Yu said with a warm smile on her face.
Shangguan Ziling nodded and walked out of the house with Xia Yu and Qiu Kui. They walked through the busy streets and came to the bustling main street.
The streets are bustling with people and cars, and the sounds of hawking and talking are one after another, forming a lively picture.
Shangguan Ziling walked in the crowd, and her appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. She was slender and elegant, like a blooming peony, standing out from the crowd.
She sometimes stopped to watch the street vendors and sometimes exchanged a few words with passers-by. Her behavior revealed a calmness and elegance that made people respect and love her.
In this way, the three of them strolled on the street, enjoying this rare leisure time.
As the sun gradually rose higher, the golden sunlight filled the earth, and Shangguan Ziling felt a hint of heat. She frowned slightly and decided to temporarily avoid the scorching sun and rest for a while in the teahouse next door.
The teahouse is an antique building with a golden signboard in front of the door, on which are written the three characters "Qingxiang Pavilion". When you enter the teahouse, a light scent of tea hits your nose, making you feel relaxed and happy.
Shangguan Ziling found a seat by the window, where she could enjoy the street view and the cool breeze.
Shangguan Ziling said: "Qiukui, go buy some incense, candles, money, paper and other items, I'll wait for you here."
"Yes." Qiu Kui knew that the eldest lady was afraid of heat, so he left.
Shangguan Ziling quietly sipped tea and watched the scenery.
Xia Yu was fanning Shangguan Ziling and muttered, "Miss, why are you so afraid of the heat? Just give me an order."
Shangguan Ziling said: "We have to come out and get some fresh air. It's boring to stay in the house all day."
Xia Yu said "Oh".
As soon as Ruan Feiyin entered the teahouse, she saw Shangguan Ziling.
After a while, Qiu Kui came back with a few exquisite snack boxes and a pot of fragrant tea. She placed the snacks and tea on the table and then stepped aside to serve.
Shangguan Ziling picked up a piece of dessert and tasted it. It was delicious and tasty. She took another sip of tea and felt the fragrance of the tea was refreshing. She immediately felt much more relaxed physically and mentally.
At this time, she remembered that she had to burn incense tomorrow, so she told Qiu Kui to prepare. Qiu Kui left and came back soon with a list and some incense, candles, paper money and other items in his hand.
Shangguan Ziling carefully checked the list and items, and after confirming that they were correct, she told Qiu Kui to keep them properly. Then she continued to drink tea and enjoy the view, enjoying this rare leisure time.
The teahouse was bustling with people, but Shangguan Ziling seemed to be in another world. Her heart was as calm as water, unaffected by the outside world. This state made her feel very satisfied and relieved.
As soon as Ruan Feiyin walked into the teahouse, her eyes were immediately attracted by Shangguan Ziling who was sitting by the window. She looked at Shangguan Ziling's elegant figure from a distance, and an inexplicable feeling of jealousy surged in her heart. As if driven by an invisible force, she walked towards Shangguan Ziling.
Ruan Feiyin's eyes flashed with complex emotions. She was jealous of Shangguan Ziling's beauty and status, and at the same time she felt an inexplicable threat. She lowered her head, concealing the emotions in her eyes, and tried to make herself look calmer. Then, she walked over with a smile on her face and sat directly opposite Shangguan Ziling.
Shangguan Ziling looked at Ruan Feiyin who suddenly appeared, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. She had always had a bad impression of this woman, thinking that she was hypocritical and always looking for opportunities to provoke her. It was not a good day to go out today, and she actually met this annoying person again, which was really annoying.
Ruan Feiyin didn't seem to notice Shangguan Ziling's displeasure. She smiled and said, "Ms. Shangguan is so lucky to be favored by the Regent. She will be married soon. I would like to congratulate Miss Shangguan in advance."
Shangguan Ziling just smiled faintly and did not respond to Ruan Feiyin's words.
Shangguan Ziling knew that this woman had bad intentions and didn't want to argue with her, so she just looked at her indifferently.
The little fat boy in the space said with a look of anticipation: "Master, I'm here to cause trouble for you."
Shangguan Ziling responded to the little fat boy: "Her? I don't even take her seriously."
However, Ruan Feiyin did not give up. She lowered her voice and said, "Since Miss Shangguan is about to marry into the Regent's Palace, why did she go and provoke His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Doesn't Miss Shangguan think that she is fickle?" Her tone was full of accusations and ridicule.
Xia Yu was furious when she heard this. She clenched her fists tightly, stared at Ruan Feiyin and said, "My eldest daughter didn't provoke the prince! Don't slander me!"
Xia Yu's voice was so loud that other people in the teahouse looked over.
Ruan Feiyin glanced at Xia Yu with disdain and said lightly: "Is Miss Shangguan's maid so unruly? Do you have the right to speak here?" There was a hint of arrogance and contempt in her tone.
Shangguan Ziling looked at Ruan Feiyin's smug face and finally couldn't help but said in a cold voice: "My maid, do you have the right to say that?"
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Ruan Feiyin's eyes. She stared at Shangguan Ziling, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only fascinated by you for a while. Once he sees your true face, he will definitely despise you as before. Do you think you can sit back and relax now that you have hooked up with the Regent? Don't dream! The Regent is a man of such a character that he will despise you sooner or later."
Shangguan Ziling just smiled faintly upon hearing this, with a bit of amusement and disdain in her eyes. She shook her head and said, "I don't care about the prince now. I am the master of my own life and don't need others to dictate my decisions. Besides, I am not the kind of person who would cater to others for power and profit. Whether the regent hates me or not is none of your business."
Ruan Feiyin was choked by Shangguan Ziling's words. She didn't expect Shangguan Ziling to admit so frankly that she didn't care about the prince. She was angry, but couldn't find the words to refute. She could only look at Shangguan Ziling with gritted teeth, her eyes full of resentment and jealousy.
Shangguan Ziling looked at Ruan Feiyin's angry and helpless expression, and felt happy. She knew that she had successfully hit Ruan Feiyin's self-esteem and self-confidence. So, she ignored Ruan Feiyin, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, enjoying this rare quiet and leisure time.
