Chapter Eighteen: Royal Golden Whip
"Okay!" Qiu Liyue glanced at Qiu Lixing. She heard that yesterday Yunruo beat Qiu Zhen and Qiu Lixing ten times each. Now, Qiu Zhen can't get out of bed, but Qiu Lixing is already jumping around.
, it seems that this board player is still very knowledgeable.
Anlehou Mansion.
There are already many carriages parked outside the gate of Anlehou's mansion. Although Anlehou no longer pays attention to the affairs of the court, his daughter is the real queen of Tianlan Kingdom. How many of Anlehou's granddaughters dare not come to give her hairpins?
of?
"Where is Miss An now?" Qiu Liyue asked the housekeeper who was greeting guests at the door after getting off the carriage.
"The imperial edict has arrived. At this time, the lady is receiving the edict in the front hall. Zhang San, take Miss Qiu to the front hall." The housekeeper replied in an orderly manner.
Imperial decree? Qiu Liyue suddenly remembered that during the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day, the emperor told An Xiaoman that he would give her a surprise when she got pregnant. I wonder what the decree granted her?
Under the guidance of Zhang San, Qiu Liyue and his party had just entered the hall when they heard An Xiaoman's crisp voice saying, "An Xiaoman accepted the order, Eunuch De, go back and thank the Emperor's uncle for me! Aunt the Queen! Tomorrow!
I will go into the palace to thank you!"
Listening to everyone's auspicious words, Qiu Liyue couldn't help but smile. It turned out that in addition to some daily rewards, the emperor also rewarded a golden whip, which can be used to beat the emperor's relatives and nobles.
Li people.
An Xiaoman accidentally caught a glimpse of Qiu Liyue, so he pushed aside the crowd proudly and walked up to her with a golden whip. Qiu Liyue took the brocade box from Xin'er with a smile and handed it to An Xiaoman, "Congratulations, Xiaoman
Hairpin!"
"Miss An, why don't you open it and take a look? This is the gift that my sister has worked so hard to find for you?" Qiu Lixing quickly interrupted when she saw An Xiaoman handing the brocade box to the maid next to her.
An Xiaoman was in a good mood at this time and didn't care about Qiu Lixing's talkativeness. He glanced at Qiu Liyue and saw her nodding, then he happily opened the brocade box. There was a string of silk on the light blue Su Luo gauze.
Red bracelet.
"It's so beautiful!" An Xiaoman took out the bracelet from the brocade box and played with it in his hand.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Miss Qiu's family is really thoughtful, look at these beads, they are all red and attractive!" A lady next to her praised hurriedly.
"Yes? What kind of bead is this? The red color is really pleasant!" Another lady also took the bracelet and looked at it carefully.
Aunt Zhang, who was standing behind the crowd, glanced at Qiu Lixing, whose eyes were shining, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up into a strange smile.
"Sister, is this your gift to Miss An? This bracelet is really beautiful, but this red..." Qiu Lixing stood aside and stared at the red bracelet thoughtfully.
"However, these red beads are not suitable for women to wear closely!" Aunt Zhang said, her voice just covering Qiu Lixing's voice.
A group of ladies and ladies who were watching, as well as several princes and ministers who had been paying attention not far away, all focused their attention on Aunt Zhang.
When Aunt Zhang saw Qiu Lixing's angry gaze, she felt even more determined. She looked back at the ladies' searching eyes with a calm smile, then turned her gaze to An Xiaoman and slowly said, "Miss An, my eldest son
The lady is young and ignorant, so please don't blame her."
"What kind of beads are these?" Mrs. Du, the luxuriously dressed wife of the prime minister, looked at Aunt Zhang and asked. She knew all the famous and promising ladies in the capital, so why did the person in front of her look so unfamiliar?
"In reply to the lady, this is," Aunt Zhang paused here, glanced at Qiu Liyue, thought of what she heard yesterday, gritted her teeth, and then continued, "This is the red musk bead,
My eldest lady doesn't understand this, so please forgive me, Miss An, ladies and gentlemen."
Red musk beads? Qiu Liyue's dark eyes flashed, and a strange emotion created several ripples in her heart.
"Red musk beads? Oh my God!" A lady's expression changed instantly.
"What's wrong with the red musk beads?" An Xiaoman asked as he looked at the glances around him that instantly became dim and unclear.
"Really? Auntie, you keep saying these are red musk beads, but why don't you tell me what's wrong with red musk beads?" Qiu Lixing glanced at Aunt Zhang provocatively.
Aunt Zhang hid a hint of pride. She had asked the doctor specifically. How could she not know? "I believe all ladies and ladies know musk. This red musk is even more powerful than musk! This bracelet made of red musk, men
There is no harm in wearing it, but if a woman wears it regularly, she will become infertile."
Aunt Zhang's simple words made the crowd quiet like thunder, and everyone looked at Qiu Liyue with profound meaning.
An Xiaoman's expression couldn't help but change a few times, "Liyue?" She didn't believe Liyue would do this, but how could she explain the situation in front of her?
Qiu Liyue's face was a little pale, and in the eyes of these people, she clearly had a guilty conscience.
"Miss An, don't blame the eldest lady. I think she may not know about it?"
"Really? Sister?" Qiu Lixing stared at Qiu Liyue closely and said, "Then sister said that she spent a lot of effort to find the bracelet. Is that all a lie? Sister is just casually walking on the street.
Bought a bunch online?"
Initially, most of the ladies and young ladies thought that Qiu Liyue was unaware. After all, this red musk was really rare and not many people knew it. However, after Qiu Lixing asked, everyone suddenly realized, how could this be on the street?
Can you buy it casually? Since it is not bought casually, the result is naturally very clear. It has an ulterior motive!
"Qiu Liyue? I want you to give me an explanation!" An Xiaoman stared at Qiu Liyue with almond-shaped eyes.
"Miss An, please hold your golden whip, it's about to drop!" Qiu Lixing warned again. Looking at the ladies around him and the lady's twinkling eyes, Qiu Lixing seemed to suddenly realize that he had said the wrong thing.
, and immediately covered his mouth tightly.
"Qiu Liyue!" An Xiaoman shook the golden whip in his hand, and a loud sonic boom exploded in the air, which made people startled and sent a shiver down his exposed skin.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the golden whip. Could it be that this golden whip given by the emperor was about to be unsealed?
Xin'er wanted to stand in front of Qiu Liyue, but Qiu Liyue shook her head slightly because she saw a trace of amusement in An Xiaoman's eyes.
"This is indeed what I worked hard to find..." Qiu Liyue spoke slowly, with a clear voice.
"As expected!" An Xiaoman interrupted with a cold snort. Following her words, she waved the golden whip in her hand and exploded in the air, then roared towards Qiu Liyue.
