Xia Lishuang took a walk in the Prince's Mansion after dinner. When she returned to the main house at the usual time, she saw Qiu He leading the maids to tidy up the house. She couldn't help but ask curiously.
"The concubine is up already?"
Qiu He responded: "The concubine has already taken Jiang Weifei and Twelve to the store."
So early?
Xia Lishuang couldn't help but be surprised when she looked at the newly dawned sky.
Normally someone would be sleeping soundly at this time.
"It seems like it's different if you have something to do."
Qian Yu, who followed, had a complicated expression.
The county prince really thought of a clever idea!
Once the concubine leaves early and comes back late for business, she will have no time to cling to the county prince, and the county prince will not have to bother to hide.
Now it seems to actually work!
Xia Lishuang twisted her beads and walked to the front yard with a relaxed expression, "Qianyu, how is that matter now?"
"Lord Hai is still investigating." Qian Yu said calmly, "However, even if the county prince is not dead, the situation between the two countries is already tense, and I'm afraid nothing can be saved."
"not necessarily."
Xia Lishuang thought thoughtfully. As soon as she arrived in the front yard and prepared to go out, a servant came to report.
"Your Majesty, Governor Jiang's daughter is here, saying she wants to pay her respects."
Qian Yu whispered: "Is it because the concubine helped me yesterday? Then I should go to the store."
"You'll know it when you see it."
Xia Lishuang said lightly and walked to the side hall unhurriedly.
In the side hall.
Jiang Rou'er was dressed in an aqua blue dress, with rosy eyebrows and crimson lips. She was dressed delicately and gracefully. When she stood up and bowed her head, she looked like a weak willow.
"Rou'er has met the county prince."
Xia Lishuang glanced at her and sat down gracefully, "Why did Miss Jiang come here in person?"
"Yesterday, the concubine found Rou'er's mother's relics for Rou'er. Rou'er is grateful and came to express her gratitude today."
Jiang Rou'er's eyes turned slightly, filled with sadness. Her long eyelashes covered her eyes. In addition, her makeup, which was already red at the corners of her eyes, was not very beautiful. The next moment she began to tell her life experience.
"Although the relic has been destroyed...my mother passed away suddenly when I was ten years old, leaving only the bone chain as a relic. I didn't expect...but it is a blessing among misfortunes to find it."
Qianyu listened expressionlessly, even a little sleepy.
There are thousands of ways to win the favor of the county prince, and being miserable is really the most useless one.
Seeing Jiang Rou'er's eyes turned red, like a rabbit, Xia Lishuang remained indifferent and even wanted to release the fox at home.
But he still kept a smile on his face and was gentle and comforting.
"My condolences to Miss Jiang. I will keep such valuable things in the future. If I lose them again, it won't be difficult for Ran Ran to help me find them, but it still seems dishonest."
???
Is the county prince praising his concubine for her abilities and scolding her for being unfilial?
"That's what the county prince said." Jiang Rou'er forced a smile, held back her tears, and hurriedly changed the subject, "I heard that the county prince was buying furniture recently, and Rou'er knew that the county prince loved huanghuali wood the most, so she
I found a set of huanghuali wood tables and chairs made by Carpenter Lu, I hope the prince likes them."
Jiang family servants immediately brought up several shelves covered with red silk.
Open the red silk, and inside is a set of black and shiny huanghuali wood seats.
The texture is flowing like clouds and water, and the pattern is like a ghost face. It is the finest huanghuali. The workmanship is exquisite and it is indeed made by the craftsmen of Lu State who are the best at making furniture.
Xia Lishuang's heart moved for a moment, and then she said: "Miss Jiang is trying her best, but it's Ran Ran who helped Miss Jiang. Ran Ran has already received money as a reward. This prince can no longer accept such a valuable gift. I accept your kindness.
, Miss Jiang should go back with a thank you gift."
"This..." Jiang Rou'er said aggrievedly, "If the county prince doesn't accept it, dad will scold Rou'er."
"No reward for no merit. If I accept Miss Jiang's gift of thanks, Ran Ran will be angry."
