Queen Xiaoxi

Since Bu Bin said this, Wanxian no longer shied away and said with a smile: "In that case, my sister will accept it without mercy."

"It's as it should be. There's no need to be polite because of the friendship between you and me." Bu Bin smiled and opened the sleeve of her left hand to reveal the sapphire relief five-bat bracelet she wore on her wrist, and said, "Look, this is Duan Jing and the concubine's special gift. Collected to honor me. I heard that they were collected together with your pair of mandarin duck jade bracelets."

Wanxian looked at the sapphire bracelet on Concubine Bu's left wrist and praised it quickly: "You can see from this that it is not an ordinary thing. It shows the filial piety that the princess and the consort have for you, my sister."

Bu Bin was also very proud of her daughter and son-in-law's filial piety.

"Why don't you see the children under the princess's knees? I also prepared a meeting gift for them?" Wan Xian asked politely to Bu Bin.

"Because I just met Lord Long Live, there are some things that are not suitable to be said in front of the children. Therefore, Lord Long Live specially arranged for Zhao Sanxi to take the children out to play. I don't know where they are now." Princess Duanjing hurriedly reported back.

Wanxian nodded and said: "So that's it. In this case, Qiaoguo, you and Yunxia will take out the meeting gift prepared by me, and the princess, the mother-in-law, will receive it on your behalf." Wanxian had prepared this meeting gift in advance. , after all, Sister Bubin has a close relationship with him, so for Sister Bubin’s sake, she must be polite to the princess.

After hearing this, Princess Duanjing hurriedly stood up and declined, saying, "How can I be so embarrassed? It's not a waste of money for you, Madam Shu."

Listening to Princess Duanjing's refusal, Wanxian lowered her face and said quickly: "Just now, you said you would not treat me as an outsider, but now you are not even willing to accept the meeting gifts that I prepared for the children. If the princess continues If you refuse, I will be annoyed. If the princess is unwilling to accept it, then it will be inconvenient for me to accept these jade bracelets."

"That's not what you are saying. Duanjing, don't refuse. This is a meeting gift from Concubine Shu, Guo Luo's mother, to the children. You are just accepting it on your behalf." Bu Bin quickly stopped her daughter and turned to Wan. Xian said: "I won't follow my sister and you are not a heretic anymore. If tomorrow is free, I will lead the children to kowtow to you, my sister, Concubine Shu."

Wanxian nodded with satisfaction and said happily: "That's what you said, sister. Okay, now I have time to lead the children to my sister's place to play."

At this moment, Qiaoguo and Yunxia quickly came forward with several carved wooden boxes.

Seeing this, Bu Bin quickly said: "It's getting late now. After talking for so long, sister, you must be tired. I and Duan Jing will leave first. When there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely take the child with me. We have come to kowtow to you and thank you in person for the meeting gifts given to the children by my sister." After Bu Bin finished speaking, she stood up.

Princess Duanjing followed closely behind and quickly stood up from the square stool.

Wanxian hurriedly wanted to get up to see her off, but Bu Bin stopped her and said, "Don't, don't get up. My sister, you are still ill, so you better not get up to see me off."

Wanxian apologized in embarrassment: "I'm so sorry that I can't get up to see her off."

"It doesn't matter, who among us will follow the other." Bu Bin said thoughtfully.

Princess Duanjing also hurriedly made a Wanfu salute to Wanxian who was half lying on the south Kang, and then said goodbye: "Ms. Shu, I have to take my leave."

"Princess, you're welcome. Qiaoguo, please send a gift to Sister Bubin and Princess Duanjing on my behalf."

"Hey." Qiaoguo agreed, holding the wooden box.

While talking, Wei Zhu, who was on duty outside, opened the small door of the inner room and respectfully invited Bu Bin and Princess Duanjing to leave the dormitory.

Garzang, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, quickly stood up and came to Princess Duanjing's side.

Princess Duanjing saw this and said quickly: "Hurry up and take the box from the hand of the palace maid at the back. That is the meeting that Empress Shu gives to the children."

Garzang was a little puzzled as to why he was receiving gifts instead of giving them normally. Although he was puzzled, he still obeyed the instructions and wanted to take the carved wooden box from Qiaoguo and Yunxia.

Qiao Guo and Yun Xia repeatedly said, "Please stop, my concubine. The slaves will naturally send these things to Bu Bin's palace."

During this shirk, the group of people left the living room and walked outside the smoke-filled palace.

Outside the palace were guarding several servants who had followed Princess Duanjing and Garzang into the palace.

Princess Duanjing said quickly: "I don't dare to trouble you, just give the box to them."

Qiaoguo took the order and bowed to Princess Duanjing, then handed the wooden box in her hand to the maid in Mongolian robes. Yunxia also moved the wooden box in her hand just like Qiaoguo.

Seeing this, Bu Bin winked at Ji Heping, who had just leaned over.

Ji Heping understood this and quickly took two purses from his sleeves and secretly handed them to Qiaoguo and Yunxia.

Qiaoguo resisted and said: "Ms. Bubin, I don't dare to accept this slave. If the empress finds out, the slaves will be punished. I will leave soon." Qiaoguo said, bowed, took Yunxia and hurriedly hid in the dormitory. middle.

Bu Bin was not upset when she saw it, and said to her daughter and son-in-law: "It's already late now, let's go back. I'm afraid if we sit here for a while, you will have to leave the palace."

Princess Duanjing nodded, hurriedly came to Bu Bin's side, and helped Bu Bin to walk outside together.

Garzang followed the mother and daughter calmly and walked slowly outside.

After walking out of the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall, Princess Duanjing said coquettishly to Bu Bin: "Eniang, while we were talking just now, why don't you talk about Erdun's marriage?"

"You, why are you in such a hurry? Everything is too much and too little is too late. How can you blurt out your request as soon as you give the gift? Even if you are just cramming, you can't be so fast." Bu Bin said seriously to Princess Duanjing. said.

Princess Duanjing sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, but my daughter is just worried about Erdun's marriage and is anxious."

"Let's listen to my mother-in-law's arrangements for this matter. If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, take your time." Garzang listened from behind and waited for the conversation between the two to end before speaking to comfort him.

It's okay that Princess Duanjing didn't listen. When she heard this, she turned angrily and accused Garzang: "You said it lightly. Erdun is already twelve years old this year. This time, Mulan Qiuni, her marriage It must be settled. If you don’t plan ahead, it will be too late to regret it.”

"Okay, okay, everything is up to you. I'll do whatever you say. Can it be done?" Garzang coaxed to his wife quickly.

Bu Bin also patted her daughter's hand and said: "Okay, what do you say in front of so many people? My husband is your husband, how can you say such things about him in front of others and behind others."

"My daughter knows, she is just anxious." After Princess Duanjing vented her anger, she also felt a little embarrassed and quickly made an excuse.

"Anyway, let's go back and talk about it. So as not to make a joke in front of others, don't you think there's not enough gossip?" Bu Bin first criticized her daughter, and then said kindly to Garzang: "Also, Please don’t worry, my consort, Duan Jing loves her daughter very much.”

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. My son-in-law understands Duanjing's mood. Erdun is also the apple of his eye. Although he doesn't show it on his face, he is worried in his heart." Garzang replied gently.

Bu Bin listened to her son-in-law's answer and was very satisfied. She touched her daughter's hand lovingly and warned: "Put your heart in your belly with peace of mind. No matter what, Er Niang will plan every possible way for Er Dun and will definitely let her find a husband as she pleases." "

"My mother still loves my daughter." Princess Duanjing leaned close to Bu Bin and spoke affectionately.

"Eniang has only you as my daughter in this life. If Eniang doesn't love you, who will you love? No matter what happens in the future, don't hide it from Eniang. If you want to keep hiding it from Eniang like this time, Eniang is really You will be sad." Bu Bin lovingly touched Princess Duanjing's hair on her temples and warned her patiently.

"Okay, my daughter knows, don't worry, Mother." Princess Duanjing's eyes filled with mist, and she agreed with a choked voice.

Bu Bin then said with peace of mind: "That's good. But where did the children go to play? They haven't come back for so long."

"Maybe I wandered a little far, and I should be back soon." Princess Duanjing wiped away her tears and replied.

"Then let's go back first. When we were having snacks just now, E Niang found that there are some snacks that the children particularly like to eat. While the children haven't come back, E Niang is making some for you to take away later." Bu Bin picked up the snacks. He smiled and said happily.

Princess Duanjing quickly refused: "Wherever I need you to do it yourself, Mother, just let the servants in the imperial kitchen do it."

"How can it be the same? Nothing made by the royal chef can compare to the one made by Eniang herself." Bu Bin said with a smile. (End of chapter)
