"Where else?" Zhang Wanyin stopped thinking and asked casually.
"There is some, but not much." The palace maid smiled awkwardly, "If Princess Mingqing needs it, I will go and get it now."
better than nothing.
Zhang Wanyin's face was already very ugly, and she said, "Go get it!"
He turned around and sat down in front of the chair, not wanting to pay attention to the palace maid anymore.
The palace maid knew that Zhang Wanyin was annoyed, so she didn't dare to say anything more, turned around and left, and soon brought some silk thread over.
"Princess Mingqing, everyone is inside." The palace maid wiped away the non-existent sweat on her forehead and said with a smile.
The silk threads are placed in a tray. It's just such a shallow tray. It's really not a lot. There are some of several colors, but not much.
Yu Xijiao looked around and saw that there were quite a few colors and they were also very beautiful.
At a glance, you can tell it's a rare masterpiece.
I walked to the tray, picked up a piece of silk thread and rubbed it in my hands. It felt different.
"Miss Yu, can you do that?" Zhang Wanyin also came over and asked.
"Okay." Yu Xijiao said affirmatively.
There was a faint fragrance between the nose, which was incense. His hand paused for a moment, and then slowly put it back.
The silk thread just now was also scented, which was different from the current scent.
He stepped back and sat down in front of the chair again, with a ripple of thoughtfulness flashing through his eyes...
"Just stay." Zhang Wanyin said aggrievedly. It could be seen that she was extremely unhappy, but she couldn't say anything.
Not to mention the two princesses, the queen also knew about this, so she couldn't really confront him head-on. So what if the queen mother protected her? The queen's power exceeds that of the queen mother to a certain extent.
If you want a good future, you can't offend the queen.
Zhang Wanyin knew this, and the palace maid also knew it, and that was why she pushed the two princesses out without fear just now.
"Why didn't you say it before?" Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and smiled, her dark eyes falling on the palace maid's face, showing some scrutiny.
Zhang Wanyin originally asked the palace maid to go back, but then she glanced at the palace maid and sat down in front of the chair again.
"Before... this belonged to the Sixth Princess." The palace maid was stunned. She didn't expect Yu Xijiao to stop her, but she also heard that this was the third girl from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the future Crown Princess of the Prince of Qi.
This status is a bit lower than that of Princess Mingqing, whether it is now or in the future, but when thinking of Prince Qi, the maid does not dare to neglect him.
If she offends Prince Qi, no matter who she is, her life may not be spared.
The person in the harem who cannot be offended the most now is the Prince of Qi.
"Since it belongs to the Sixth Princess, why can I send it here now?" Yu Xijiao blinked, with a well-behaved look on her face.
"It belonged to the Sixth Princess before, but later it was given to the Seventh Princess. The Seventh Princess didn't want it, so she... returned it." The palace maid said bravely.
She actually didn't want to talk about it.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Zhang Wanyin's face changed drastically, and she became angry and gloomy: "Is it... the Seventh Princess doesn't want it?"
The palace maid hurriedly said with a smile: "It's not that the seventh princess didn't want it, it's that the sixth princess chose something that didn't suit the seventh princess's wishes. The seventh princess didn't choose these."
Zhang Wanyin's face was calm, her mouth was pursed tightly, she was really angry.
"If Princess Mingqing cares, I will take you back now." The maid also noticed Zhang Wanyin's unkind expression and added quickly.
"No, just stay." Zhang Wanyin almost couldn't hold back her words.
No matter how dissatisfied you are, if you have brought everything, why would you take it back? Otherwise, you will obviously be dissatisfied with the Sixth and Seventh Princesses.
"Okay, I'll leave this servant." The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief and bowed before leaving.
"Wait a minute." Yu Xijiao called her again.
"Miss Yu San, what else can you do?" The palace maid turned around again, her face already a little ugly. Princess Mingqing finally stopped pursuing the matter. What does Miss Yu want to do?
If Miss Yu hadn't stopped her just now, she wouldn't have made Princess Mingqing look so ugly.
It would be best not to say this kind of thing, but she asked and she had to say it.
"Why did the Sixth Princess give embroidery thread to the Seventh Princess?" Yu Xijiao smiled slightly, tilting her head slightly, with a hint of curiosity on her delicate face.
"I don't know." The palace maid calmed down and said, "The affairs of the princesses are not something that a slave and a palace maid should know."
A nail, neither soft nor hard, hit me.
Yu Xijiao was not angry, and pointed to the threads on the table: "These threads have passed through the hands of so many people, is there really nothing wrong with them?"
"Miss Yu San, this is the silk thread from the palace. It was originally prepared for the princess and Princess Mingqing. If Miss Yu thinks it is not suitable, you don't have to choose it."
The palace maid almost said that this matter had nothing to do with Yu Xijiao.
"Can I trouble you to bring some silk threads to the sixth princess?" Yu Xijiao suddenly pointed to the silk thread in front of her, "I promised the sixth princess before that I would bring her some silk threads into the palace, but I forgot this time. I happened to see
Such fine silk thread, I wonder if I can borrow flowers to offer to Buddha?"
The last sentence was said to Zhang Wanyin.
Zhang Wanyin had accepted it reluctantly, but now Yu Xijiao took over and sent some away, and she would not disagree with either emotion or reason.
"Miss Yu, please excuse me." Zhang Wanyin said.
"Thank you so much, Princess Mingqing." Yu Xijiao stood up, went to the table, and reached out to choose several kinds. She picked carefully, putting down one kind and choosing another one from time to time.
She looked calm as if all the threads in front of her were hers.
The palace maid was almost angry. She thought that Miss Yu had made a mistake. However, Princess Mingqing didn't say anything. Naturally, she didn't dare to say anything. She just stood aside and held her eyes.
Glancing at Yu Xijiao, a hint of sarcasm flashed through her eyes. This person really didn't regard her as an outsider.
Even if the Crown Prince of Qi is powerful, he must still be the Crown Prince of Qi. I heard that the future Crown Prince Qi's concubine will not be liked by the Crown Prince of Qi.
I don’t know how the marriage was decided, it was just the Prince of Qi’s nonsense.
Just like that, she still has the heart to pick her nose and face here. Princess Mingqing has nothing to do with her. She is a dove occupying the magpie's nest, and she is so calm. She is really a character.
"That's all. Please give these to the Sixth Princess. Just tell me that I specially selected them from Princess Mingqing and gave them to the Sixth Princess. Please forgive me for my negligence." Yu Xijiao clapped her hands and said.
.
"Slave will be sent right away." The palace maid lowered her head to hide the dissatisfaction in her eyes and said.
Yu Xijiao took two steps back with satisfaction.
The palace maid bowed hastily to her, and then left with the silk thread.
Zhang Wanyin looked at the back of the palace maid as she hurriedly left. She hesitated to speak, but finally stopped. After the palace maid left, she said softly: "Miss Yu, would the sixth princess like such a little silk thread? It's too little.
If you really want to give it away, it won’t be enough to give it all to the Sixth Princess."
"It's okay, it's just my intention." Yu Xi said with a smile.
"Then we can only make up for it later." Zhang Wanyin sighed helplessly, stood up again and walked to the table, picked up the silk thread in front of her and pinched it gently, with a wry smile on her face, "It's really... enough
So much, so little...what can I embroider?"
She was asking Yu Xijiao.
Yu Xijiao looked at the remaining thread in front of her. There wasn't much in the first place, but now it's even less.
"Princess Mingqing, why don't you embroider some handkerchiefs." Yu Xijiao suggested that she was the reason why she was like this, with a bit of guilt on her face, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't given it to you again
I have made some, and maybe I can embroider a larger fan or something like that, but now... all I have is a handkerchief."
"Then let's have a handkerchief." Zhang Wanyin looked at the amount and said.
Yu Xijiao took the initiative to ask Ying: "How about I help Princess Mingqing embroider this handkerchief?"
Originally, she only came here occasionally and could not embroider large items, so she could only embroider some small items.
Zhang Wanyin's marriage is too urgent, so many can only use ready-made ones, and some embroiderers are also working overtime to embroider. Zhang Wanyin is embroidering clothes now, clothes for Feng Lan to repair. It is impossible to bother other women with such items. This is also
The reason why Yu Xijiao could only help divide the lines just now.
It was inappropriate for her to touch Zhang Wanyin's embroidery.
Nowadays, there is no problem in this direction when embroidering handkerchiefs.
"Thank you, Miss Yu San." Zhang Wanyin thought for a while and said helplessly, "The Queen Mother wants to see you. If you don't come, you will think of Prince Qi again. From now on, I will have to trouble Miss Yu San to enter the palace more times. If so,
Xia, just help me embroider the handkerchief, okay?"
"Okay." Yu Xijiao agreed with a smile, and there was a hint of twinkling in her eyes, which became dark again...
"Who gave it to me?" The sixth princess looked at the silk thread in front of her in astonishment. It was just a little bit of silk thread, but someone actually gave it to her.
"Miss Yu, my servant just met Miss Yu at Princess Mingqing's place," the palace maid said.
"What's going on? Why does it belong to Princess Mingqing and Miss Yu San?" The Sixth Princess waved her hand and signaled the palace maid to explain the cause and effect of the matter.
After he finished speaking, he frowned and said, "Did I give these threads to the Seventh Princess before?"
"Yes, I gave it to the seventh princess as the sixth princess said." The palace maid nodded.
The sixth princess walked to the silk thread, picked up the thread and put it between her noses and smelled it: "Why does it smell so good?"
"I don't know, but the seventh princess may have received the incense that the seventh princess likes to use," the palace maid said.
"Send it here and just return it?" The sixth princess tasted the product and felt that there was something fishy about it, so she asked Yu Xijiao to send it to her specially, thinking that it made people doubt when Yu Xijiao promised to give it to her.
Send silk thread?
"When I sent it over, the slave didn't see the Seventh Princess, so she put it aside first. Later, when the Seventh Princess found out about it, she asked the slave to come and take it away, saying she didn't like it," the palace maid said.
So I left it in a sealed place for a while.
The sixth princess remembered that she had given gifts to the seventh princess before, and she had chosen very simple ones to avoid any surprises. Some silk threads, a few pieces of jewelry, and other materials were all very ordinary items, so she was afraid that they would not be given well.
On the contrary, something happened, and something like this happened to the seventh princess. No matter what her true thoughts were, the sixth princess had to express her condolences.
"Where are the other gifts?" the Sixth Princess asked. This silk thread was not the only gift given at that time. She didn't know that it was returned...
