Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 402
However, Zhao Xiwei is not a stingy person. She still feels a little honored to have someone with the same taste as herself, so she simply took off the bracelet from her wrist and said with a smile: "If madam likes it, I will give it to you as a meeting gift!"

"Ah..." Mrs. Qiao was a little surprised, but she was overjoyed when she realized it, "That concubine has the audacity to accept it!"

She bowed her knees to thank her, took the bracelet herself, rubbed it fondly a few times, then waved with a smile on her face: "Zhuqing, come, help me put it on."

"Yes." The servant girl bowed her head forward before picking up the bracelet. She didn't know if she was too nervous or didn't hold it, and fell to the ground with a "slap".

The pearls immediately scattered all over the ground, the jade beads bounced a few times, and then fell to the ground and shattered...

"Zhuqing—" Mrs. Qiao's complexion turned pale, and she stood up abruptly.

"Slave servant is punished with death!" Zhu Qing knelt on the ground as soon as her knees softened, her voice was crying: "Slave servant is willing to be punished!"

She looked eleven or twelve years old, and her voice was crisp and childish.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Xiwei hurriedly motioned her to get up, and joked: "It's just a pair of bracelets, and it's not a peerless treasure. If you drop it, it will fall, and I'll let someone give your wife another pair tomorrow! "

"How can this be done?!" Mrs. Qiao hurriedly smiled at Zhao Xi, then turned her head and winked at Zhuqing who was dumbstruck with fright, "Clean up quickly, don't let the master know."

The princess's reward was broken, the princess has a good temper and doesn't care about it, but if the master finds out, it will not be so easy to talk about - the prince is behind the princess, and it is a big disrespect to say this matter.

"Yes..." That Zhuqing knelt on the ground, and when she heard the word master, she shook her body, tears rolled down, knocked her forehead on the ground, choked up and said: "I didn't do it on purpose, I know I was wrong, please forgive me This time, servant girl."

"Oh!" Mrs. Qiao saw that the servant girl was so frightened that she lost her soul, and she couldn't teach Zhao Xiwei a lesson in front of Zhao Xiwei. When she was in a dilemma, she was squatting down, ready to clean it up herself——

"Ma'am, get up!" Supporting her with both hands, she raised her head in surprise, and saw Zhao Xi smiled and pulled out a flower hairpin from her head, and handed it to her: "The jade beads are fragile, so I will give it to Madam the flower hairpin." How about one?"

"Crown Princess..." Mrs. Qiao stood up again, and muttered, "How can this be done?"

After dropping a pair of bracelets, not only was he not angry at all, but he sent out another hairpin instead.

Not to mention that you are a princess, even in their circle of noble ladies, no one is so tolerant.If you have a good heart, just treat the other party as a clumsy person. Although you don't say it, you must be contemptuous in your heart.As for the bad-natured ones, maybe they will use this matter as an excuse to pinch the opponent's weaknesses from now on.

Even Mrs. Qiao has always been good at dancing with her sleeves. Whether it is an open fight in the inner house or a secret fight in the circle of ladies, she can deal with it calmly, but it is the first time for her to face such an upright princess. She was really dumbfounded for a while.

"I am a concubine..." Mrs. Qiao looked at the exquisite flower hairpin, wanting to refuse but breaking the rules, wanting to accept but embarrassed.

She bent her knees and squatted down, and gave a slight salute: "I am not strict in discipline, and I am extremely ashamed of destroying the things cherished by the crown princess. I don't have the face to accept your gift..."

As he spoke, fine sweat protruded densely from his forehead.

Zhao Xi frowned slightly, and glanced at Mrs. Qiao lightly.

She lived with her mother since she was a child, and she didn't pay much attention to these etiquettes.The reason why another hairpin was sent out was to relieve Mrs. Qiao's embarrassment, and also to prevent the maid from being punished afterwards.

Who knew that the wife of a dignified first-rank official would be such an incomprehensible person?

That's all, she put away the weirdness in her heart, and was about to take back the hairpin, when there was a coughing sound outside the door.

"Cough, cough, cough," Qiao Yunqian was helped into the room, her voice hoarse: "Sister Wei has a kind heart, so mother will accept it..."

As he spoke, he bowed his knees and made a big salute: "The courtier has seen the crown princess."

"Get up!" Zhao Xiwei hastily stretched out his hand to help her, and as soon as his fingers grasped her palm, it felt dry and warm, without any sign of illness.

My heart suddenly understood, and I raised my eyes to take a closer look.

Wearing a light yellow dress, a thick cloak, and two pink camellias on her head, her face was flushed and her brows were slightly furrowed. She didn't look sick, but she looked sick.

After her daughter spoke, Mrs. Qiao took the hairpin with both hands, her face changed from her previous uneasiness, and said with a smile: "The concubine is more respectful than obedient!"

Looking at Qiao Yunqian again, she tightened the thick fox fur cape on her body, and the fluffy fur collar immediately wrapped her entire small face.

The earth dragon was burned inside the house, which was already relatively warm, but Qiao Yunqian's flushed cheeks became even redder after wrapping it up tightly...

Zhao Xi pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and then stopped the smile.

Such a thick fox fur covering his body, and sitting indoors, he would cover his whole body if he was not sick.

Sure enough, after chatting for a while, Qiao Yunqian couldn't bear the heat anymore. She got up and said to Mrs. Qiao, "Mother, my daughter wants to take sister Wei back to the room to see the parrot, so I won't accompany you for now!"

Mrs. Qiao was still babbling about her illness. Seeing this, she glanced at her daughter suspiciously, and then at Zhao Xiwei: "What parrot? Why don't I know?"

What else does Zhao Xiwei not understand?Seeing that the parrot is fake, it is true if you have something to tell her in private.

Just nodded slightly, nodded and said: "Yes, sister Yunqian said last time that she has a pair of extremely smart parrots who can speak Fanbanghu language. I am very curious. Since I am here today, why not go there in person Look good!"

"That's it." Mrs. Qiao was dubious, but she couldn't question the Crown Princess's words, so she smiled and said, "Then I'll send you guys there."

"No need!" Qiao Yunqian pulled Zhao Xiwei and walked out, repeatedly refusing: "My daughter can just take Sister Wei there!"

"Then be careful!" Mrs. Qiao exhorted anxiously, "Don't let the princess get mad at you!"

"Cough, cough, got it, got it..."

Qiao Yunqian turned around and stepped into the boudoir, and closed the door with a "squeak".

She hastily took off her cloak, fanned the wind with her hands and said, "I'm so hot!"

Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Zhao Xiwei couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Pretend to be sick!"

"Yeah?" Qiao Yunqian asked strangely, "How do you know I'm faking it?" She picked up a small copper mirror, touched her red face, "Aren't I sick?"

"Who cares about dressing up when he's sick?" Zhao Xiwei pinched her face and said with a smile, "It's hard for you to cover up such a thick body of fox fur. Tell me, what happened to make Miss Qiao spend so much money?" Mind brought me here!"

"How did you even guess this!" Qiao Yunqian was stunned.

"It's not difficult to guess." Zhao Xi sat down in the chair with a smile, "The girls reported that Miss Qiao just went to the teahouse to sign the contract, and fell ill when she came back. You pass this news to me, but Didn't you imply that I'll come and have a look?"
