Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 649 Pearl Box

The third prince lived in the courtyard on the right road. After crossing a courtyard gate, there was a long corridor. After passing through the corridor and entering a small plum blossom gate, he arrived at the place.

Arriving here, Shi Youde respectfully said: "Your Highness, forgive me. Your Highness should have opened the main entrance of the right road to welcome you when you come to visit. However, the beam on the main entrance was broken due to heavy snow recently, and it is currently being repaired. I feel wronged Your Highness to leave. through the side door."

Qin Su then smiled and waved his hands and said: "It's okay, you won't be able to see the scenery of the big garden on the middle road when you walk through the main entrance, but now it's fine, I'll see something new."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a sudden burst of laughter, followed by a man's voice with a slight slant: "Why is the emperor's sister here at this time? Isn't it cold on the road?"

Before the words finished, the third prince had already strode over, followed by a noble lady, and behind the noble lady were four or five gorgeously dressed concubines.

A slight smile appeared on Qin Su's face immediately, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, while scrutinizing the noble lady next to the third prince without any trace.

The last canonization banquet was a formal palace banquet, and the male and female hosts divided the seats. Qin Su was the only woman who appeared at the main banquet, so she and the princes and wives had never met each other. Seeing that the third prince's wife is quite handsome, it's a pity that her eyebrows are raised and her eyes are full of power. Even when she is smiling, there is a majestic and condensed aura.

"Ah Qiao met the Third Emperor's Sister-in-law." Qin Su took the initiative to go forward to greet her.

On such an occasion, the third prince can only be accompanied by his wife.As for Huo Tingshu and the others, Qin Su glanced aside from the corner of his eyes, and saw Huo Tingshu's slightly pale face, which looked much more haggard than last time.

When the Shuixie incident happened, it wasn't her who was most humiliated, but the Third Prince.

If the third prince hadn't been a free and easy person by nature, Huo Tingshu probably wouldn't have had the chance to stand here at the moment.

After Qin Su glanced at it, she turned her attention to the wife of the third prince.

The third prince's wife's mother's family name was Xie. During Emperor Gaozu's time, the Xie family was barely considered a prominent family, but now it has withered. In the generation of the Xie family, the Xie family has already been reduced to the ranks of minor surnames.

Seeing that Qin Su was very respectful, Xie's face became more smiling, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Qin Su up, and said with a soft smile: "Sister Huang, don't be so polite, hurry up and talk in the room." , it's cold outside today."

Qin Su stood up with her hands, only to feel that her hands were dry and warm, and they were more comfortable than her appearance.

The third prince also came over at this time, accompanied Qin Su with Xie for another cup of tea, and let her into the main hall.As for Shi Youde, after the arrival of the third prince and his wife, he just bowed briefly before retreating.

This can be seen from the detached status of this Grand Supervisor Shi in Guangming Palace.

At this moment, two large braziers have been set up in the main hall on the right road, and the silver frost charcoal is burning inside, but the temperature in the hall is not very warm. After Qin Su entered, he only took off the outermost cloak, and was caught Jean sat down in the first armchair on the right.

Mrs. Xie greeted the little maids to serve tea and snacks, Qin Su said shyly, "I came here without warning, please don't blame Brother Sanhuang and Wife Sanhuang."

The third prince smiled and said: "Younger sister is a rare visitor, I usually can't invite you, but today's visit really makes the scorpion shine."

Mrs. Xie also smiled and said: "Sister Huang is too polite, it is very common for the whole family to move around. If Younger Sister posted a post in advance, it would be called birthright."

After all, she is a girl from a gentry family with some background. Although she is in decline now, she still has some roots. She speaks very decently, without losing intimacy, and is courteous and thoughtful, making people feel comfortable listening.

At this time, some palace servants offered tea and fruits, and Qin Su talked politely with the third prince and his wife. Seeing that the cooking time was almost ready, she took out the gift and said awkwardly: "I was too unhappy before. Sensible, but also bad-tempered, I ruined Brother Sanhuang's set of good porcelain, and now I have nothing to sell, so I will use this box of pearls to make amends. Please don't blame Brother Sanhuang and Sister-in-law Sanhuang."

When saying these words, Qin Su had already stood up, holding the box with both hands and presented it to the third prince and his wife.

Such a solemn gift of apology naturally appeared to be sincere.The third prince hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said with a smile: "Sister Huang is too polite, I'm ashamed of my brother." Even though he said so, his hand automatically took the box, and the face There is also a sense of joy in the smile on the face.

Qin Suwei was a little surprised.

She had guessed before that the third prince married by Huo Tingshu might not be favored, but now it seems that her guess is probably right.It was nothing more than a box of pearls, and the third prince took it too quickly, without even giving way.

It's a pity that he has a good appearance.

At this time, Mrs. Xie also laughed, and covered her lips and said: "Younger sister is seeing outsiders like this, and she has said that she is a family. Why are you talking about these vain etiquette? According to me, it was our fault in the first place, the emperor My sister shouldn't bring things here, but we should send things to you."

The words were extremely appropriate, and immediately covered up some of the embarrassment just now.

Huo Tingshu at the emperor's side shrank unconsciously when he heard this, his face was gloomy.

This matter is over in the past, but Qin Su wants to come to the door suddenly to apologize after so long. Is this an apology, or is it a reminder?
Huo Tingshu's head drooped, only feeling that Mrs. Xie's gaze was extremely cold.

After hearing Xie's words, Qin Su smiled more innocently: "Sister-in-law of the Three Emperors will say that again, and I will really feel ashamed. In any case, Brother Sanhuang is the eldest, and I, as a younger sister, should respect her." Yes. Besides, even the emperor has spoken, I have to obey the order of the emperor."

Seeing that Qin Su carried out Emperor Zhongyuan, Xie was no longer polite, and the third prince's attention was all on the box of pearls, and he was lifting the cover to observe carefully, except for a couple of echoing laughs, he unexpectedly I didn't say a word.

Qin Su waited for a while, but the third prince still didn't say a word, he just looked at the box of pearls diligently, as if he completely forgot that there was a guest here.

Qin Su felt a little embarrassed.

Her third brother clearly looked eager to go back to the house to look at the pearls carefully, and didn't even say a word of greeting, so how can people continue to sit down?
Mrs. Xie glanced in the direction of the third prince, and a little annoyance appeared in her eyes.

"Sister Huang, let's drink tea. This dessert is newly made here. It's called tea cake. Try it to see if it suits your taste." She greeted Qin Su courteously, and glanced at the third prince.

At this time, the third prince was still looking at the box of pearls with joy on his face, as if he had never heard her words.
