Chapter 161 Another Scheme [2]
No emotion could be seen from Zi You’s actions . If anyone saw it, he would only think that she was being polite and respectful . No flaws could be picked out .
But Shangguan Lingluo felt that Zi You’s eyes were filled with ridicule and despised Zi You to the extreme .
Shangguan Lingluo hated that she couldn’t go forwards, scratch her beautiful face that was capable of causing the downfall of a country, and gouge out her beautiful pair of eyes . She even started to move .
But she thought about her perfect plan and revealed a light smile .
But this smile contained boundless hatred, making Shangguan Lingluo’s beautiful face look strange . She looked terrifying, like a vampire .
Her scary smile had not disappeared even after she walked over to Zi You .
She picked up a wine jug from a palace maid . She said apologetically, “Mu Xiaojie, it was Bengong’s fault before . Bengong is apologizing to you now . After this cup of wine, shall be friends?”
Zi You faintly smiled as she looked at her, as if trying to see through her .
Those deep eyes were like a transparent lake, as if they wanted to wash her dirty mind clean .
Shangguan Lingluo felt a bit uncomfortable . The hand holding the silver jug of wine trembled .
Just as she was feeling uneasy, Zi You suddenly smiled brilliantly . “Chennu doesn’t dare . Fourth Gongzhu is giving Chennu so much face . How can Chennu dare to disobey?”
Shangguan Lingluo secretly released a sigh of relief . She handed a cup of wine over . “Then, please drink this cup of wine, Mu Xiaojie . ”
Zi You took the cup and smiled at Shangguan Lingluo . “Then Fourth Gongzhu should have a cup and drink with Chennu too . ”
“Okay . ” Shangguan Lingluo smiled from the heart this time . She poured herself a cup of wine from the jug and raised it in front of Zi You .
Zi You clinked her cup against it . She drank all the wine in one gulp . When she finished, she lifted the cup for her to see . “Chennu has drunk it all . ”
Shangguan Lingluo saw this and drank her cup of wine too .
They seemed to have dissolved their hatred with two cups of wine . It looked like Fourth Gongzhu was ready to make peace with Mu Zi You .
For a time, everyone thought that Fourth Gongzhu had changed her personality and wasn’t as vindictive as she used to be .
After the banquet ended, everyone moved around freely . Actually, it was the time for every fu’s blind dates for unmarried males and females .
Second Wangzi sat in his wheelchair and looked at Zi You, forcefully suppressing his desire to go over and talk to her .
Zi You was wearing a blue-colored silk long dress embroidered with green branches and plum blossoms . The blue dress rippled at her feet like a blossoming lotus . She stood out among brilliant purples and reds, making the heavens and earth lose their colors .
She had such a beautiful and refined appearance, but this seemingly delicate and slender girl was actually stronger than a man . When he was performing physical exercises, he was in so much pain that he almost couldn’t move anymore, she would come over to whip him with words .
“If you want to sit in a wheelchair for a lifetime, then you can give up . I already said that I got rid the gu . Whether you can stand up or not depends on your perseverance . Think about all the injustices that you have suffered in the past five years . Are you willing to stay paralyzed in this wheelchair forever?
“Shangguan Boyu, don’t make me look down on you! You are a man, but you can’t even compare to a little girl like me? Do you know how many silver needles I place on myself every day to learn medicine? Do you know how many blisters I have on my feet when I strap sandbags on my legs and climb up mountains to learn qinggong? Do you know how swollen my calves are? Everything I have is obtained through sweat and hard work . ”
Yes, he could not have her looking down on him . If Second Wangzi worked hard because he wanted revenge in the beginning, then at this moment, he wanted to succeed and stand up to prove to her that he was strong . He was strong enough to be worthy of her .
Second Wangzi was sneaking glances at Zi You, while Taizi and Third Wangzi were looking at her too . Only, their glances weren’t as hidden as Second Wangzi’s . They walked over majestically and approached her .
Fortunately, Zi You was not with Liu Ruixue and her other two sworn sisters . Otherwise, how awkward would it be? How sad would Liu Ruixue be?

Zi You looked at Taizi and couldn’t help but be indignant on Liu Ruixue’s behalf .
Taizi was wearing light yellow brocade robes . They were decorated with a silvery green embroidered auspicious dragon motif on the sides . His black hair had an amber cat eye’s jewel hairpin in it . His belt around his waist was of the same pattern . He had a soft white ermine satin cloak draped over him . He looked like an elegant and noble gongzi . He was so noble that people didn’t dare to look up at him .
Unlike the Emperor, the dragon on his body had four claws: one less claw than the Emperor’s five clawed-dragon .
Third Wangzi was wearing a purple robe . His waist was tied with the same colored gold edgedd ribbon . His black hair was bundled into a gilt crown . His slender body was straight . He was handsome and revealed his inherent nobility .
It should be said that the Shangguan family’s genes were very good . Xuanwu Emperor was not bad-looking . An Wang was also said to be very handsome . Otherwise, Shangguan LingRan wouldn’t look like such an evildoer .
Taizi, Second Wangzi, and Third Wangzi were handsome men, but Second Wangzi looked more exquisite .
Their temperaments were all different, however . If Taizi was warm like jade, then Third Wangzi was like spring who brought a warmth to everyone . Second Wangzi was like a solitary moon, exuding coldness and loneliness .
But no matter how outstanding they were, they could not cause a ripple in Zi You’s heart .
Zi You provided treatment to Second Wangzi because she thought of him like a chess piece to use against Taizi and Third Wangzi .
Only that shameless evildoer…… Zi You didn’t know why she suddenly thought of Shangguan LingRan . She looked towards his direction before glancing away .
Shangguan LingRan was surrounded by several gongzis and xiaojies . But he seemed to have a connection with Zi You . His devilishly charming phoenix eyes also looked quietly at her .
Their eyes collided, making their hearts jump crazily!
Zi You immediately turned her head . Her face turned slightly red .

Shangguan LingRan smiled pleasantly, in a good mood . This smile made him seem more devilishly charming!
He was wearing a lake blue embroidered silver robe . There was a deep blue jade-embellished belt around his waist . A blue-edged white embroidered pouch with auspicious clouds on it hung from his belt . It was garnished with shiny blue tourmaline beads . His raven-black hair was loosely gathered with a jade crown . The glow from the lanterns plated his handsome face with a layer of gold and softened his facial features .
If someone did not see the devilish charm in his phoenix eyes, he would look just like a refined gongzi . However, his eyes were too wicked . One glance at them and no one would think him as a gentleman .
But even so, a lot of xiaojies flew over to him in droves . After all, his appearance and An Wang Shizifei’s identity were too tempting . There was also the Empress Dowager’s insurmountable doting on him .
Yu Meilian had been slighted by him once, but still didn’t give up . She dragged Minister of War’s Di granddaughter Ke Yuner over .
The person Ke Yuner wanted to marry was Ming Wang Shizi Shangguan Weiran . Although Shangguan Weiran was as “notorious” as his tangdi [younger male patrilineal cousin] Shangguan LingRan, he was also handsome . Although he did not look as much like an evildoer as Shangguan LingRan, he did not lose out to Taizi and Third Wangzi .
The key point was that Shangguan Weiran had yet to be engaged . He was already seventeen years old and didn’t have a Shizifei . Taizi and Third Wangzi were good, but one had a Zhengfei and cefei and the other had a Zhengfei candidate already . Ke Yuner was the Di granddaughter of a first-rank official . She did not want to be a cefei . She wanted to be a Zhengfei .
Shangguan Weiran was romantic, but not lecherous . He had many female confidantes, but he never brought them back to the Wang fu . This was thanks to his father, Ming Wang . Ming Wang was not the Emperor’s direct brother, but he was very trusted by the Emperor . He was in charge of the Imperial Household Department . He was very good at doing business and the wealthiest out of the Emperor’s brothers .
Moreover, Ming Wang was very upright . He had one Zhengfei and one cefei . There were no other women in his fu . He was considered a good man in the capital’s high society .
Zhengfei had no children . Shangguan Weiran and his sister, fourteen-year-old Mingxia Junzhu [daughter of imperial relatives] were born from cefei Nee Wu .
It was said that Ming Wang was really fond of Zhengfei Nee Li . But she had a congenital heart disease and couldn’t give birth, so Ming Wang reluctantly married Nee Wu . After Nee Wu gave birth to two children, Ming Wang had never favored her again . He also put Nee Wu’s children under Zhengfei Nee Li’s name to raise .
Shangguan Weiran did not know that his birth mother was Nee Wu . He used to ridicule and insult her . He later learned that Nee Wu was his birth mother . From then on, his personality had changed and he started to turn bad .
This Nee Li was the Empress’ mother’s niece: Duke Weiguo’s Di eldest daughter .

The Empress’ aunt married Duke Weiguo, the person who had arrived first at the Palace gate, but did not enter the Palace first .
The thing that Ke Yuner liked was the simple environment in Ming Wang fu . Shangguan Weiran was dissolute, but which young man wasn’t dissolute?
But he had no brothers to compete over property with him . He also had no mother-in-law for her to serve . This was something that other fus did not have .
The other “Four Tyrants” of the capital, disregarding the Emperor’s favored consort Li Pin’s brother Wei Mingrui, had a weak family background . His father was just an Assistant Minister of Appointments . The other three’s family backgrounds were not weak .
Duke Yongguo Shizi, Zhu Likang’s father, was one of the five dukes of Great Yan . Duke Yongguo was the Emperor’s son-in-law and was married to the Emperor’s eldest sister, Chuyang Gongzhu .
Such an aristocratic gongzi with good looks and could paint, even if he was useless in everything, he would still cause some vain women’s adoration .
