The mother-in-law came to give a gift and brought some ingredients, which the Queen Mother rewarded.
It was said that he was rewarded, but in fact it was because of Feng Yu's rudeness that he came to save face for the eldest princess's house.
The four maids brought a lot of materials, which were placed one by one on the stone table. The damasks and silks were all very beautiful and dazzled everyone's eyes.
The mother-in-law smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes: "You two girls, the eldest princess asked you to pick a few horses first and keep them for each of you to make clothes. These are tributes from the palace. Even the nobles in the palace don't have many.
The Queen Mother is so kind to those who can get up, and she specially rewarded them."
This reward is actually because of Yu Xijiao.
"Third sister, let's pick first." Yu Yuxi said magnanimously, reaching out and touching a piece of silk. The material was very comfortable and the colors were gorgeous. It was just her favorite material.
This kind of colorful material cannot be obtained casually, even Yu Yuxi is a little tempted.
"Mingyue, pick the big red material." Yu Xijiao stretched out her hand and pointed at the material at Yu Yuxi's hand and said.
Mingyue stepped forward in response, picked up the bright red and most authentic color material and took it away. The last piece of material was right next to Yu Yuxi's hand, and Mingyue almost took it from her hand.
"Third sister likes bright red so much? She didn't seem to care so much in the past?" Yu Yuxi couldn't hold back the smile on her face.
"It's not that I like it, I'm just afraid that the second sister's choice won't be suitable. She won't be able to wear it when she enters Prince Duan's Mansion. It's a waste of such good materials." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly, "In fact, I didn't just pick it out.
For my own sake, if brother wants to give a gift to Prime Minister Ming's Mansion in the future, this gift will be an excellent one."
Yu Yuxi's face suddenly turned red, and then turned faintly blue. She squeezed the handkerchief tightly with her hands, and her face was cold.
Only the first wife can wear bright red, true red.
The concubine is also a concubine and cannot wear bright red colors.
Yu Xijiao is deliberately humiliating her. She is a concubine! Just a concubine.
His breathing was rapid and trembling, and he could hardly control himself, but then he calmed down and looked up at Yu Xijiao. For just a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his emotions were quickly suppressed:
"What the third sister said is absolutely true. Then the third sister will take it."
Can you suppress your anger like this? Is there another agenda?
"Second sister, I will pick the red one first, and you can pick the others." Yu Xijiao smiled, her expression as calm as ever, and she did not continue to discuss the topic of the main wife and the concubines.
Yu Yuxi originally thought every one of these ingredients was good and beautiful, but now she feels that it tastes like wax and has an indescribable greasy taste.
The rest were still very beautiful, but none of them were bright red. She originally had no obsession with bright red, but now she felt that the materials in front of her were not the most suitable.
With her identity and appearance, she should be considered to be red. Why does Zhang Wanyin do it?
"Just these two pieces." Yu Yuxi said, casually ordering the two pieces in front of her with half interest.
"I won't choose. I'll leave the rest to grandma." Yu Xi said with a smile.
"The eldest princess said that these colors are suitable for girls of the right age. Just keep them separate for the second and third girls." Grandma immediately responded with a smile.
"It's better to keep it. You can also give it to big brother in the future." Yu Xijiao waved her hand and did not accept it all.
"Where's the second girl? Do you want to pick a few more pieces?" Seeing that she insisted on doing so, grandma turned to Yu Yuxi.
Yu Yuxi was angry in her heart. She was obviously the second girl and the older one. Why should she let Yu Xijiao make the decision? She had to tell Yu Xijiao first.
But I also know that this is the eldest princess's house. Even my father is trembling when he comes in. That is to say, the eldest brother is here to recuperate. He has to come here to get a yard to live here. If it were in the past, let alone himself, even
My father also had to be driven back.
"Mommy, that's enough for me. Thank grandma for me. It's just right to keep these for elder brother." Yu Yuxi smiled and raised her hand slightly.
Seeing them both saying this, the mother-in-law nodded in agreement and asked the maid to pack the materials.
"What is this?" Suddenly, the mother-in-law looked at something in the material in surprise and asked subconsciously.
It happened that this direction was at Yu Yuxi's place. Yu Yuxi raised her eyes and looked at it. She reached out and pulled out a folded handkerchief from the material. It was a handkerchief with extremely beautiful embroidery work.
But this veil is obviously not new, and the material looks ordinary. There is an orchid and a stone embroidered on it. The embroidery work is good, and it can be seen that it is carefully embroidered.
"Whose handkerchief fell inside?" Yu Yuxi picked it up, looked around, and asked curiously, "Is it the maid from the Queen Mother's Palace?"
"No...it can't be a maid from the Queen Mother's palace." Mammy was also surprised and shook her head blankly.
"Why not?" Yu Yuxi asked.
"This material was rewarded by the Queen Mother, but... it was prepared by Prince Qi." The mother-in-law said in a nagging voice. At the end of her words, she realized something and hurriedly stopped talking, with an embarrassed look on her face.
The Empress Dowager gave the reward today because the Prince of Qi did something wrong and hurt the dignity of Princess Anhe and the Xuanping House. Therefore, the reward must be paid by the Prince of Qi himself to punish him. This is reasonable.
It works.
But when another woman's veil appears among Prince Qi's records, this logic doesn't make sense.
Since the ingredients were prepared by Prince Qi, Prince Qi had someone wrap them up and deliver them to the Queen Mother, who would then use her name to reward Princess An and the eldest daughter.
Everyone knows the twists and turns here.
It was Prince Qi who did the wrong thing, and of course it was Prince Qi who accompanied the gift. The Queen Mother was just worried that An and the eldest princess would not give Prince Qi face, so she talked about the reward. It was only Qi who actually gave gifts and money.
Prince Qi, who made Prince Qi do something wrong? If the Queen Mother really prepared a gift for Prince Qi, it would seem that Prince Qi was right.
This gift was given by Prince Qi's Mansion and was also part of a sincere apology.
"Is there such a ungrateful woman around Prince Qi? Although this veil is not the best, the embroidery is very good, and it is not something that an ordinary maid can afford. This is... who is from Prince Qi's palace?
Lost it?" Yu Yuxi frowned, picked up the handkerchief, shook it in her hand, and said thoughtfully.
"What is this?" Suddenly she reached out and pointed to the lower corner of the veil, just under the stone. Looking carefully, there was a small line of writing faintly there.
Yu Yuxi took a look and handed it to Yu Xijiao with a nonchalant look: "Third sister, look at it, you are the best embroiderer, you should be able to tell it!"
But he didn't even mention the following line.
Yu Xijiao took it and her eyes fell on the bottom line of words. It was a very simple line of words and the embroidery was very thin. At first glance, she thought it was just an embroidery edge.
"The bulrushes are as tough as silk, and the rocks are as strong as rocks."
There is an orchid plant beside a stone, spreading its branches and leaves, half leaning and half leaning on the hard stone. Coupled with this sentence, there is nothing unclear.
This poem, this handkerchief, tells the deep feelings of a woman.
There are many people embroidering this kind of paintings on handkerchiefs, but few of them have such a theme. There may also be young couples in the boudoir who will embroider some as a pleasure to the boudoir! But it is also inconvenient for others to see, so they can do it in private.
The young couple looked at it and admired it, but now they found this veil in the gift prepared by Prince Qi, which really made people think more.
If it were someone else, the first thing that would come to mind would be whether there is another beauty around the Prince of Qi. This veil was deliberately dropped by the beauty into the pile of gifts to give to the future Yu Xijiao.
The fact that the concubine is showing off her face also implies a demonstration.
The princess has not entered the house, and the concubine is already the only one to be pampered.
But this was a gift from the Crown Prince of Qi, and since such a thing happened, I felt that it might have been done by the Crown Prince of Qi himself. This sounds ridiculous, but it is not difficult to understand when you think about it carefully.
The Prince of Qi came to accompany Yu Xijiao to apologize. Everyone knew that he was forced to come here by the Queen Mother. He had no choice but to do this. With the temperament of the Prince of Qi, it would not be a big deal to do something that would embarrass Yu Xijiao. He was here to accompany him anyway.
I was courteous and refused to leave even though I was rejected at the door just now. My attitude was very good.
If Princess An and the eldest daughter still refuse to let him go, it is none of his business.
When the time comes, he can even blame the matter on Princess An and the eldest princess, making the Queen Mother angry. After all, the Queen Mother cares most about her grandson.
The mother-in-law began to sweat on her forehead. Looking at the silent third girl, she felt panicked.
It was originally a good thing, but if the three girls started crying, how would the eldest princess end up? Should she forgive the Crown Prince of Qi or not forgive the Crown Prince of Qi?
"The gift prepared by Prince Qi?" Yu Xijiao's fingers silently crossed these two sentences and asked.
The embroidery fits the font on it. Judging from Feng Yu's temperament, it makes people feel that he is provocative and has to come, but he is not convinced.
Yin Yin came to stir up trouble and wanted to push the matter to Princess An and the eldest daughter's house.
It fits Feng Yu's temperament very well...
"It's a gift prepared by Prince Qi. Maybe the maids in the mansion got it mixed up. Don't worry, third lady, I will report to the eldest princess soon. She will definitely ask the eldest princess for details." The mother-in-law said hurriedly, for fear of being afraid.
The third girl rushed over and cried regardless, making it difficult for her eldest princess to step down.
The eldest princess has been keeping a low profile for so many years and is not willing to get involved in things. If the third girl really makes such a fuss, she will put her own eldest princess into trouble.
"Third sister, don't be upset, this must be a misunderstanding." Yu Yuxi also reacted at this time and advised softly, reaching out to take the veil from Yu Xijiao's hand.
Helplessly, Yu Xijiao's hand grasped the veil tightly, but she couldn't take it off.
"Mom, can I ask my grandmother privately about this for my third sister?" Seeing that she could not take the handkerchief from Yu Xijiao's hand, Yu Yuxi had no choice but to turn to her mother-in-law.
"Okay...okay!" Something was obviously wrong with the third girl's situation. The second girl was calmer now and said privately that maybe the third girl rushed over and ignored it.
"Third sister, let me go and take a look." Yu Yuxi stood up.
"Second sister, wait a minute." Yu Xijiao finally spoke, looking away from the veil, and then smiled...
