After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 218 is just like sending a proposition
This episode did not affect the emperor at all. He continued to look at the playing cards in his hand, showing great interest, "Does Mrs. Lu still have such playing cards in her hand?"

Qiao Jingjing paused for a moment, the emperor was so calm.

Even though the emperor didn't take Shangguan Xueer seriously, the empress dowager was angry.

But the emperor was completely indifferent to this.

Qiao Jingjing gathered her thoughts. She did still have a deck of playing cards in her hand, which was originally intended for the eldest princess.

But now that the emperor asked, she could only dedicate it to him first.

"Yes." She responded, then took out the card and presented it.

Still packed in a box.

After the emperor got it, Long Yan was delighted, playing with the playing cards in his hand, and said with interest: "What reward does Mrs. Lu want?"

Qiao Jingjing said: "It's just a gadget, not worth mentioning. I really don't dare to accept it as a reward from the emperor. Besides, today is the emperor's birthday, and I have nothing else. Since the emperor likes this playing card, I can treat it as a gift from the emperor." Birthday gift."

When the emperor heard this, he was very happy and said, "Mrs. Lu, this birthday gift is deeply in my heart."

Qiao Jingjing was not surprised.

The emperor has the world, is rich all over the world, and has everything. He has seen all the rare treasures. It is difficult to arouse his interest in trivial things. On the contrary, odd things like playing cards will make him feel strange and interesting. .

That's why when Lu Xingzhi saw the quill she made, he wanted to donate it to the emperor.

It must be said that Lu Xingzhi knew the emperor quite well.

At this time, the eldest princess suddenly said: "The emperor should reward me. After all, Mrs. Lu originally planned to give the playing cards in your hand to me. Now that I have given them to you first, I don't have them anymore."

The emperor looked at the playing cards in his hand, then at her, and said unconvincingly: "You said it yourself, Mrs. Lu didn't say that I wanted to give it to you."

The eldest princess was furious.

Looking at the emperor's brother who was so good despite getting a bargain, he said depressedly: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask Mrs. Lu."

The answer is obvious, the emperor would not ask.

He snorted and turned his head.

The eldest princess: "..."

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing.

She hadn't seen the emperor act so childishly for a long time.

The eldest princess looked at Qiao Jingjing with a resentful look, "Mrs. Lu, tell me, did you originally intend to give this deck of cards to me?"

Qiao Jingjing really wanted to pretend not to hear.

This is just like sending a proposition, no different.

If she said yes, wouldn't that mean she was refuting what the emperor said?

If you say no, it will make the eldest princess lose face.

It's wrong no matter what.

But the eldest princess's eyes were so intense that she couldn't ignore them even if she wanted to, so she had no choice but to say: "Next time, my wife, I will make another one just for the eldest princess."

This answer made the eldest princess not very satisfied, but she also knew that her question made her embarrassed, so she gave it up and said, "Then you must remember it, don't let someone get in first again next time."

The emperor heard that the emperor's sister was making insinuations, but he did not care about it. Instead, he said to Qiao Jingjing: "Mrs. Lu, please make another deck of cards for the emperor's sister."

"Yes." Qiao Jingjing responded.

Father Lu, Mother Lu and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

No matter how blunt their crossbows were, they still noticed something was wrong with the previous atmosphere.

The Empress Dowager intended to point Shuang Shuang to Prince Ning, but unexpectedly, the emperor who arrived later seemed to be interested in Shuang Shuang as well.

Fortunately, this matter was revealed in this way.

Seeing that it was still early and that the emperor was interested in playing cards, the Empress Dowager suggested, "Does the emperor want to play playing cards?"

The emperor had this intention. When he heard the words, he immediately said: "Then please ask the queen mother, the emperor's sister, and Mrs. Lu to teach me how to play." Prince Ning looked at the playing cards in his hand and didn't see anything special. But seeing his interest, I couldn't help but become curious about playing cards.

Although the emperor is young, he is quite skillful. He usually looks dignified and solemn, but rarely appears to be playful at this moment.

Are playing cards so attractive?
Involuntarily, he also became interested and said lazily: "Can your Majesty allow me to play with you?"

The emperor glanced at him and refused without hesitation, "There are enough people, and you don't know how to play, so you should just watch from the sidelines."

Prince Ning touched his nose and said, "Your Majesty is right."

After a while, the palace servants brought a square table and four chairs at the instruction of the eldest princess.

The empress dowager, who had not played a card for many days, was eager to try.

She took the lead and sat down at the table, followed by the emperor and the eldest princess, who also sat down together.

"Jingjing, come here quickly." The eldest princess urged Qiao Jingjing when she saw that she was still standing.

Qiao Jingjing glanced at Lu Xingzhi, and when he nodded, she felt relieved and sat down on the remaining chair.

On the other side, Shangguan Xueer met Mrs. Qin and her daughter as soon as they came out of the palace.

Mrs. Qin has a somewhat personal relationship with the Empress Dowager, so when she enters the palace this time, she naturally wants to pay homage to the Empress Dowager first.

At this time, seeing Shangguan Xueer's ugly face, Mrs. Qin asked with concern: "Miss Shangguan is not with the Queen Mother in the palace, why did she come out alone? But she is not feeling well?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xueer immediately put away the emotion on her face.

Although when the Queen Mother's aunt was in the palace, Mrs. Qin, who also believed in Buddhism, would often go into the palace to talk to the Queen Mother's aunt and talk about Buddhism. She was also kind to her and would often bring her gifts.

But the fact that she was kicked out by the Queen Mother's aunt was embarrassing after all, so she naturally wouldn't say anything about it. She only said: "It's a little stuffy in the palace. I'm going to come out for some air."

When Qin Yue'er heard this, he looked at her calmly.

Although Shangguan Xueer hid it well, the resentment and dissatisfaction between her eyebrows still leaked out a bit.

After hearing that Mrs. Qiao had entered the palace, she first came to Cining Palace to pay her respects.

So Shangguan Xueer's appearance could be due to Qiao Jingjing's anger, right?

Thinking of this, Qin Yue'er's heart moved, and she stepped forward and took Shangguan Xue'er's arm affectionately, "When I was at home, I often heard my mother mention Sister Xue'er, saying that Sister Xue'er was smart and smart, and she was loved by the Queen Mother. , when I saw it today, it was indeed the case.

I have long wanted to meet Sister Xueer, but I have never had the chance to meet her. Today I finally met her. "

Shangguan Xueer was elated by her words, which was very helpful.

The girl in front of her is as beautiful as a flower, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a noble temperament. She must be the daughter of Duke Qin, Qin Yue'er.

"Oh, has Mrs. Qin mentioned me to you?" There was obvious happiness on her face.

"Of course." Qin Yue'er nodded and looked at Mrs. Qin, "Isn't that right, mother?"

Although Mrs. Qin didn't understand what her daughter was going to do, she still nodded cooperatively, "Xue'er is a popular person around the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother often praises her. She is a rare and good girl. Yue'er, you must learn from her. study."

The mother and daughter's compliments made Shangguan Xueer extremely happy.

"Mrs. Qin is ridiculous." She said modestly, but that was not what she thought in her heart.

Because she also feels that she is good enough.

Otherwise, he would not be valued by the Empress Dowager.

Qin Yue'er saw that she was delighted by what she said, so she suggested: "It seems that there are a lot of people inside, so let's go in later. Sister Xue'er, let's go sit in the pavilion next to her. "

"Okay." Shangguan Xueer nodded happily.

After sitting down in the pavilion, Qin Yue'er said with concern: "By the way, sister Xue'er, when you came out just now, I saw that you were not in a good mood, but someone who didn't have good eyesight bumped into you?"

When this matter was mentioned, Shangguan Xueer's resentment that had been suppressed resurfaced again, with a gloomy look on her face.

Seeing the Qin family's mother and daughter with sincere and caring expressions on their faces, she couldn't help but open her heart and wanted to express her feelings.

She sighed and said, "Actually, it's nothing. That Mrs. Lu was just showing off those playing cards in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. I just said a word and made the Queen Mother displeased, so she sent me to the hospital." Kicked out."

After hearing this, Qin Yue'er's eyes flashed, it was really related to that bitch Qiao Jingjing!
