Chapter 88: Qiu Zhen's Gift
"Don't be stunned, go quickly!" Qiu Liyue urged again. After watching Xin'er leave, she looked at Qiu Zhen, who had been standing beside her, looking at her nose and heart, wearing a bright red dress, and said
, "Third sister, please wait a little longer."
"Sister, you're welcome, that's what you should do." Qiuzhen only said this and lowered her head again.
Since the bee incident, Qiu Zhen has become even more silent. No matter what the occasion, she always tries to show her non-existence. But Qiu Liyue saw the rolling hatred under her calm eyes. This hatred
The intention is not only for myself, but also for Yun Ruo and Qiu Lixing.
After a moment, Xin'er walked out holding a red brocade box in Yunyun's slightly surprised eyes.
"Okay! It's getting late, let's set off quickly!" Qiu Liyue greeted Qiu Zhen to get on the carriage and drive towards the palace.
At the entrance of the palace, Yun Ruo with a kind face and Qiu Lixing, who was impatient to wait, were standing. Although the situation between them and Qiu Liyue was already at odds, in the palace, this kind of mutual love
You still have to do what you did last time for superficial things, otherwise the person you offend will be unhappy and they will definitely not get any good results.
"Well! Let's go!" Yun Ruo glanced at the brocade box held by Xin'er beside Qiu Liyue, but didn't ask any more questions. She just sneered in her heart, "I want to see what you can use to compensate for this Yun brocade skirt?" She
She didn't tell the truth to Qiu Liyue just now. Only Concubine Liang knew about the seven-color pansy cloud skirt. The ninth princess didn't know yet. She was probably waiting happily at this time.
The group of them rode in a soft sedan chair, led by the eunuchs in the palace, and walked left and right, passing through the hand-painted verandah, through the hanging flower gate, and around the screen wall. They walked for almost half an hour before arriving at Liushuang Palace where Liang Fei was staying.
Because Liang Fei's birthday fell on the day of Frost's Descent, after she was promoted to the concubine, she moved into Liushuang Palace, which shows the emperor's love for her.
Liushuang Palace was now a lively scene with lights and colorful decorations, and palace maids in red and green were walking around, taking care of the concubines who came to congratulate them, as well as the wives, ladies and young gentlemen of each palace.
Nalan Shi was still young, and although the emperor had decreed a grand event, the only people who came to congratulate him were ladies, young ladies and young princes from various houses.
Qiu Liyue and his party first presented gifts to Concubine Shu, Concubine De and several high-grade concubines, and then formally met Concubine Liang in the side hall. Nalan Shi, who was standing next to Concubine Liang, saw Qiu Concubine.
When Liyue came in, she stared at her with bright eyes, not even willing to blink.
Seeing this scene, Qiu Liyue's heart moved, and she glanced at Yun Ruo and Qiu Lixing aside. She saw Yun Ruo sitting safely on the mahogany armchair, holding up a sweet porcelain green flower tea cup with a calm expression, and Qiu Liyue.
Li Xing looked at her with eyes filled with gloating!
Sure enough, so far, Nalan Shi probably doesn't know that the colorful brocade skirt she has been thinking about has been ruined by Qiu Lixing.
It wasn't until she saw Qiu Liyue that Liang Fei suddenly stretched out her right hand with a long gilded armor, lightly covered her lips and exclaimed, "Oh! I forgot!" Then she looked at Nalan Shi and said,
"Shi'er, my concubine forgot to tell you. A few days ago, when your uncle came into the palace, he said that the seven-color pansy cloud brocade dress was accidentally destroyed. But don't worry, your sister Liyue has found another one.
A better gift for you."
Before Liang Fei finished speaking, the smile on Nalan Shi's face had disappeared. What better gift? What gift could be better than a gold-rich brocade skirt? Not to mention the embroidery on the brocade skirt.
A rare pansy?
"Your Highness, I thought for a while and didn't know what to give to Your Highness, so I personally pickled some preserved fruits that the Princess loves to eat. It will relieve the Princess's boredom on weekdays. I wish Your Highness the Princess will always be in good health!" Yun Ruo said.
Signing to Qiu Mei behind him, he handed four small celadon altars with pictures of beauties to Nalan Shi's personal maid Ling'er.
"Thank you, auntie!" Nalanshi said, twitching her lips.
"Your Highness, this is the beauty that my mother received on her birthday. My mother gave it to Xing'er. However, such good spices are only suitable for someone like the princess. Therefore, Xing'er dedicated this box of beauty to the princess.
Your Highness, may the Princess become more and more beautiful!"
"Thank you, Sister Lixing!" Nalan Shi said with a forced smile. Although she really wanted this beauty spice, the seven-color pansy brocade skirt was more to her liking.
When Qiu Lixing slowly stepped back, she glanced at Qiu Liyue provocatively, "Don't you also have a beautiful lady? Now that I have given you a beautiful lady? What do you want to do?"
Seeing that Qiu Liyue was silent, Qiu Zhen took a step forward and bowed, "Your Highness, Qiu Zhen does not have the talent of the eldest sister, nor the blessing of the second sister, so I personally embroidered a square brocade handkerchief for you. I hope you can
Your Highness the Princess does not dislike it, and I wish Her Royal Highness the Princess to become more and more noble!" After Qiu Zhen finished speaking, she bowed and handed the brocade handkerchief to Ling'er with both hands.
"Double-sided embroidery!" Ling'er couldn't help but exclaimed after taking the brocade handkerchief. Realizing her own loss of color, Ling'er lowered her head instantly.
However, her exclamation drew everyone's attention to the brocade handkerchief Qiu Zhen had just presented. One side of the pink rain silk brocade was embroidered with a seven-color pansy holding its head high in the rain, and the other side was
There is a picture of a beauty holding an umbrella. If you look closely at the beauty's appearance, you can see that she is 70% similar to the Ninth Princess!
"Thank you, Sister Zhen!" Nalan Shi apparently also discovered the similarity between the beauty and herself, holding the brocade handkerchief in her hand, looking like she couldn't put it down.
Yun Ruo's calm eyes flashed. I didn't realize that this damn girl had such a clever mind. It seemed that I had to be more careful with her in the future, lest I fall into the trap of Qiu Liyue, that little bitch again.
’s footsteps.
Qiu Lixing's heart sank. A few days ago, Qiu Zhen asked her for this rain silk brocade, which was a piece of rag. She didn't care at that time. If she had known that she could make such a brilliant gift, she would have found someone to embroider it herself.
You can also save yourself that box of beauties. Huh! Qiuzhen, you have such a good idea and you dare not tell me. Let’s settle the accounts slowly when we get back!
Seeing Qiu Liyue hanging her head aside, Qiu Lixing raised her lips and said, "Sister, where is the unique gift you prepared for the Ninth Princess? Take it out quickly!"
When she spoke, she emphasized the word "ingenuity" very strongly, "Qiu Liyue, let me see what tricks you can pull off?"
Before Qiu Liyue could speak, she heard the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps. She turned around and saw that it was Qiu Junrui. He came to the palace from White Deer Academy, so he was not with them.
