Chapter 62: The difference between cloud and mud is exactly what I want
As the eldest princess and the second prince sat down, there were more exquisite snacks on the table.
Whether the second prince did it intentionally or not, the blue and white plate containing the mung bean cake in Wan Qing's hand became empty after a while. Wan Qing's chopsticks were empty and he had to put them down.
For this reason, Wan Qing simply stopped eating other pastries, drank tea to moisten her throat, and listened to the three people's daily conversations.
"Royal brother, this eyebrow cake tastes good, where did you get it?" The eldest princess put down the small plate in her hand, wiped away the slight residue from the corner of her mouth gracefully, and spoke softly, the smile at the corner of her mouth seemed to really come from
Love this eyebrow puff.
Chu Lurong answered silently, and his interest dropped a little bit. But Chu Lurchen had already laughed secretly in his heart.
Chu Luoyu hates pastries filled with red bean paste, and he knows this very well.
When she came to seek his company today, she roughly guessed that she was looking for trouble with Wan Qing. But she didn't expect that she would actually become jealous of Wan Qing. This idea was really easy to guess.
But frankly speaking, she was overestimating her abilities.
Taking advantage of the gap between Chu Luoyu and Chu Lurong talking, Chu Lvchen drank tea silently, waiting for her next move.
So, as they were talking, for some reason they got around to the matter of their going to the imperial mausoleum.
"Imperial brother, we are going to a dangerous place. This is the imperial sister's kindness. Please accept it." Chu Luoyu ordered the palace people to get the prepared gifts and handed them to Chu Lurong and Chu Lvchen respectively, and then pretended to be
She looked at Zuo Wanqing in panic, "Is Princess Zuo prepared for today? Several of the emperor's younger brothers will be leaving the next day."
Seeing the eldest princess' obvious intention to make things difficult, Wan Qing smiled instead of being angry. The smile from the bottom of her heart made Wan Qing's eyes and eyebrows become curved, "Xie eldest princess reminded me. Because my father has already asked me.
This gift has been prepared for a long time. If the imperial princess hadn't reminded her, my sudden opening would have been rude."
After finishing speaking, he took out several small boxes from Ling Zhiyuan and reached out to take out two.
"Compared with this precious gift from the eldest princess, I'm afraid my daughter's gift is a lot shabby. Please don't worry, the two princes." Wan Qing handed the box to the palace attendants Chu Lurong and Chu Luchen, but
He was not in a hurry to let them take it away. He tapped the box with his slender fingers and said, "Let me tell you first, it is not a jade article, nor is it anything expensive. The two princes are not allowed to punish the courtiers before they are allowed to open it.
"
Seeing Wan Qing's naughty look occasionally, Chu Lurong and Chu Lvchen became interested, and became even more curious about the contents of the box.
Not jade? Then it can’t be made of Hetian jade. What could it be?
The two of them took the box into their hands and saw that Wan Qing still didn't intend to reveal the answer to the mystery. Although the wooden box was exquisite, it was not considered luxurious. It could only be regarded as the authentic appearance of fine wood.
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, put on a curious look, and tried to take it from Chu Luchen's hand to find out, but Chu Luchen avoided it lightly, and her hand fell empty for a moment.
"Eldest Princess, do you want to eat that horseshoe cake?" Wan Qing rolled up her sleeves, reached out and picked up a piece of crystal clear water chestnut cake and put it on the small plate next to the eldest princess. She smiled and waited for the eldest princess to answer.
The eldest princess gritted her teeth and nodded, thanking Zuo Wanqing insincerely.
The answer to the mystery was soon revealed by the two of them. The exquisite sachet surprised them, but it was not the fragrance of flowers, but the fragrance of sweet tea, which made them a little funny.
"Is this the fragrance of tea, Junshan Silver Needle?" Chu Luchen was a tea lover, so this just played into his hands.
However, the eldest princess sneered repeatedly. Compared with the jade pendant she gave to exorcise evil spirits, this was as different as clouds and mud. "It's just tea leaves, what's so strange about it?"
Wan Qing smiled and shook his head secretly, and then slowly said the excuse he had already thought of, "Junshan Silver Needle, also known as gold inlaid with jade, gold inlaid with jade, the dusty heart is gone, Sichuan is far away from Dongting, the moon is coming. Thinking about it
I won’t lose your identity. That’s why I have the courage to use it.”
"I agree with the meaning, but is it a little thinner?" Chu Lurong played with the sachet. He didn't dislike the scent of tea, but that was only if he compared it with other sachets. One sachet just wanted to
Is it too easy to send him away?
"I wonder if the two princes are satisfied with the embroidery on the sachet?" Wan Qing did not criticize, but spoke softly, with a gentle tone but a hint of sadness, as if she had done good things but was not praised.
Children, wait for the reward.
The two of them looked at the sachet again, and the company commander couldn't help but move closer to it. The sachet was carefully embroidered with the word Ping An, and it was embroidered in different calligraphy fonts. You couldn't see it unless you read it carefully.
Come out with a few.
"I like this sentiment. However, I still have a question, why is mine blue and the emperor's brother's is cyan?" Chu Lurong's smile gradually grew bigger. He just compared himself specially.
The word "安" embroidered on the two sachets was different from Chu Luchen's, which showed that they really put their care into it. But the difference in color made him curious.
Before Wan Qing could reply, the eldest princess was the first to attack, "Princess Zuo, I heard Master Li say that you have never learned female red. How could you embroider this sachet? It was not embroidered by you.
, how can you lie to the emperor with such nonsense, you are really brave!"
Wan Qing suddenly knelt down and stretched out his hand in front of the eldest princess, with a look of being wronged on his face, "Eldest Princess, although I am not talented, I learned this embroidery thing temporarily. I accidentally embroidered it that day."
The needle pricked my hand, leaving a wound. How can I say that I lied about what I said? If you don't believe it, I can embroider it on the eldest princess on the spot to show her innocence."
Chu Luchen's hand holding the sachet suddenly paused. Yesterday, there were no other wounds on her hands except the fingernails on her palms. Today, even the fingertips were covered with many small wounds.
. Could it be that it was temporarily embroidered yesterday? But the pattern of the sachet cannot be embroidered in a short while...
Chu Luchen couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only distract himself to get rid of the slight tingling feeling in his heart.
"Royal brother, why did you scatter this sachet!" Chu Lurong just said a few words to the eldest princess sternly, and in the blink of an eye he saw Chu Luchen, who was distracted, untied the sachet inadvertently.
, the tea leaves were scattered scatteredly on the plate in front of him.
Chu Luchen suddenly came back to his senses. Before he could apologize, he saw the exquisite wax-sealed pill hidden in the sachet. He subconsciously took it out.
"What is this? Princess Zuo, what kind of evil intentions do you have?!" The eldest princess was still breathless. Looking at Chu Luchen's puzzled expression, and Waxing Wan, she thought it was her secret move.
correct.
Wan Qing pretended to wipe away tears, and the wide cuffs of her sleeves hid the smile that rose at the corner of her mouth.
Chu Luoyu, such low-level tricks have long been useless...
