The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Chapter 8 Thank You
Because the place where she lived was really remote, few people came to visit her on weekdays, and the weather was hot, so she only wore a piece of clothing that was slightly neater than her pajamas.

Fortunately, the bun was combed early in the morning, all you need to do is put on the outer dress, and after a while, Zhao Nuoqing was fully dressed, stood in front, raised a smile and prepared to go out to meet Xu Cairen.

Jin Miao followed behind, muttering in a low voice: "It's too much to come here early in the morning to show off!".

"How do you know she's here to show off?" Zhao Nuoqing suddenly stood still and looked at Jin Miao with displeasure, "But she told you herself? Don't say these words again!"

This was the first time that Zhao Nuoqing scolded Jin Miao so severely, Jin Miao was a little stunned for a moment, and quickly admitted his mistake.

Zhao Nuoqing gradually calmed down, sighed helplessly, turned and walked out.

Jin He on the side scolded in a low voice: "Your Majesty just praised you for growing up a lot. If you really love Master, put away the emotions on your face and don't cause trouble for Master!"

Jin Miao's face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and the master actually praised her?

Jin Miao nodded earnestly towards Jin He, and indeed restrained her emotions.

Seeing Jin Miao being so easy to coax, Jin He suddenly felt that it's not bad for Jin Miao to be so cheerful, it's better than those people who have one thing on the surface and one thing behind the other.

It's just that such a temperament is fine in one's own palace, but one will only suffer if one leaves Lingyun Pavilion. If someone uses it to implicate the master, then the loss outweighs the gain!
For the sake of her master's safety in the future, Jin He decided that from today onwards, she must train and train Jin Miao well...

Because Xu Cairen is now a talented person appointed by the emperor, the two of them are now on equal footing, according to the palace rules, she needs to go out to greet her.

When he left the room, he saw Xu Cairen standing in the middle of the courtyard in a water-blue skirt made by the Cairen Palace, followed by two court ladies and a young eunuch, his face was full of pride after Cheng En, and he dressed up Afterwards, she was a hundred times more beautiful than yesterday's sickly appearance, and Zhao Nuoqing almost didn't recognize her.

Before Zhao Nuoqing opened his mouth, he saw Xu Cairen approaching enthusiastically, stood in front of him, saluted Zhao Nuoqing, and said very respectfully, "Greetings to my sister!"

Zhao Nuoqing hurriedly returned the gift, "Xu Cairen is now a talented person, how can I call my elder sister again? The younger sister should call Xu Cairen elder sister!"

Xu Cairen did not refuse, but looked very useful, and immediately smiled and said: "In this case, I will not be polite! Today I came to visit rashly, one is to thank my sister for her help yesterday, and the other is to give her some good things My son! I was favored by the emperor yesterday, and I received rewards from the emperor, empress, and other ladies in the palace early this morning. I thought that my sister had never slept with me, and that my life was not going well, and I thought about how my sister treated me. Alright, I'll pick a few of the most expensive ones from those rewards and give them to my younger sister!"

Everyone at the scene heard Xu Cairen's voice, where did she come to deliver things?The words inside and outside the words are all words of showing off, and it is clear that they are here to show off.

Zhao Nuo smiled lightly and didn't say anything, while Jin Miao frowned angrily behind her. She knew that Xu Cairen came here to show off, and the master didn't let him say anything!
Xu Cairen didn't realize that Zhao Nuoqing had discovered the purpose of her trip, and continued to call the maid who was holding the tray behind her, and opened the fragrant wooden box on top, revealing a blue cluster flower inside. A hairpin and two earrings with exquisite design but ordinary color.

Is this the most precious gift among rewards?
The corners of Zhao Nuoqing's mouth twitched unconsciously, thinking: How can the things that the majesty and the empress reward the concubine be so shabby?

It must be that Xu Cairen thought she didn't understand these gold and silver jewellery, so she passed them off as good ones?

Jin He beside him was obviously surprised when he saw those shabby objects, but he didn't show it. Just as Jin Miao was about to show a disgusted expression, Jin He glared back.

On weekdays, Zhao Nuoqing's clothes are always simple, but those things are just looking simple, if you look carefully, you will find the inner world.

It's no wonder that Xu Cairen felt that she was living a poor life.

It's a pity that if she didn't say the "most precious" words, she might still accept her good intentions. Now, she only feels as disgusted as eating flies, plus the fact that Xu Cairen was anxious to send her away yesterday , which made her lose too much affection for this Xu Cairen.

"Since it's a reward for my sister, it's good for my sister to keep it. I don't lack anything here!" Zhao Nuoqing declined politely.

Xu Cairen thought to himself that Zhao Nuoqing was embarrassed to reveal the poverty of his life, thinking that she was just a talented person, and before today she was only one level higher than her, and she was not a decent empress above the concubine, An unfavored concubine must be in the same situation as her.

Naturally, these gifts were not very expensive, but they were rewards from some concubines who were only a little higher than her. She was reluctant to give away the rewards from the emperor and empress. Zhao Cairen probably hadn't seen any good things before. So I randomly selected a few small objects that she didn't like very much and brought them.

Xu Cairen said with a smile: "Sister, don't be polite to my sister! My sister knows better than anyone what your life is like. If I refuse again, I should think, is my sister looking down on things like mine?!"

What Xu Cairen said was sincere, she really wanted to give these things to Zhao Nuoqing, and she usually picked up other people's leftovers, never had she had the opportunity to reward others?The more she appreciates Zhao Nuoqing in this way, the more superior she feels in her heart.

Seeing this, Zhao Nuoqing had no choice but to say: "Sister, you are worrying too much. Since this is the case, my sister will not be polite!"

As he said that, Zhao Nuoqing signaled Jin Miao to come forward and put away the jewelry, and Xu Cairen smiled with satisfaction.

After receiving the gift, Zhao Nuoqing ordered Jin He to make tea, and at the same time greeted Xu Cairen to enter the house.

When people come, it's not easy not to greet and entertain them.

Zhao Nuoqing didn't want to tear herself apart with Xu Cairen, there was no deep hatred between them, after all they lived together in the harem, she didn't mind maintaining the harmony on the surface.

In short, she just doesn't know how to communicate with Xu Cairen.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Cairen was slightly stunned when he saw the interior scene, which was not very spacious, but had everything that should be there.

I thought that Zhao Cairen's house must be very poor, just like the Qingran Pavilion where she lived.But looking up, which one of those furniture decorations is not worth more than the things she just gave?

Is this... the treatment that an unfavored concubine should have?
A hint of jealousy and embarrassment rose in Xu Cairen's heart.

Zhao Nuoqing saw Xu Cairen's unnaturalness, and hurriedly explained: "My natal family is in business, and my father was afraid that I would not live well in the palace, so he asked someone to send me some things. A worthless gadget, please sit down, sister, the Jinhe girl in my room is the best at making tea, please treat my sister to have a cup, so as to relieve the heat!"

Xu Cairen reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth to hide the sourness in his heart.
