Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 399 Delay
The eldest wife took a deep breath, she didn't know what to say, Ming concubine said for her, "Something happened to the East Prince's Mansion, and the Na Cai gift that was sent was messed up by firecrackers, at least half of it was destroyed."

The eldest lady gritted her teeth and said, "It's more than half, I think 48 carries a lot of gifts, after being blown up by firecrackers, there are not many good ones!"

Outside the house, the princess walked in, just in time to hear this, her pretty brows were tightened, "How could Na Caili be ruined by firecrackers?"

The eldest lady sat down and said, "Send Na Caili well, everyone is happy, who would have thought that something would go wrong, come to see the princess, and discuss and send another Na Caili."

Concubine Ming was stunned, she had never seen the eldest wife holding Dongwangfu and Princess Langhuan like this, and she wanted to send another Na Cai gift, why didn't she just send Zhennanwangfu along with it.

The concubine frowned, looked at Ming concubine, and saw Ming concubine's unspeakable expression, called her twice, but Ming concubine didn't hear her, finally Xueyan pushed Ming concubine.

Ming concubine let out an ah, and said, "Concubine mother, you called me?"

The princess laughed, "What are you thinking, so engrossed?"

Ming concubine scratched her forehead and said, "Auntie said to make up for the East Prince's Mansion as a Na Cai gift. I was thinking that when I married my husband, I accidentally dropped a jade ruyi, and my mother secretly bought an identical one." Make it up for me, and I am afraid that the palace will find out that it is not happy, I thought about going back and talking to her one day, she was worried, and made me worry for several days."

The princess heard the implication, and asked, "What happened to Na Caili?"

Ming concubine shook her head, "I don't know, there was no problem when Na Caili was carried into the East Palace, but when we left, there were many firecrackers in the box containing Caili, and no one lit it, so it just exploded. "

The princess glanced at the eldest lady, and said, "Since there was no problem when Na Caili was carried into the East Palace, then the East Palace should bear the responsibility if there is any problem, and there is absolutely no reason to send another copy. Send another copy, but it will be destroyed by someone.”

The eldest wife is facing Princess Langhuan, and the princess doesn't like it. After living under the same roof for so long, who can not understand each other? The eldest wife is so protective, which means that when Princess Langhuan marries in, the eldest house will incite Chu Mowei Compete with Princess Langhuan and Chu Mochen for the position of son.

Who will inherit the title in the future is a matter between the two brothers, and the princess does not allow others to intervene.

The eldest lady's face froze, and she said, "Na Caili is ruined, Princess Langhuan's dowry is not good..."

The concubine said indifferently, "Don't say less dowry, even if Princess Langhuan comes empty-handed, the palace will not lack her food and clothing."

Ming Concubine said, "If you're afraid it won't look good, you can carry back the things from the Gingko Garden and bring them back as a dowry."

The eldest wife had nothing to say, she only blamed herself, "It's all my fault for meddling, thinking that concubine Ming and Langhuan had conflicts, which could be resolved by giving the gift, so she asked concubine Ming to accompany me, and it turned out really Something happened, I really feel bad about it.”

Ming concubine rubbed her nose, she really blamed Dongwang Mansion's misfortune on her, but she didn't feel wronged at all.

The old lady said, "You are also kind, don't mention the supplementary dowry gift, the East Prince's Mansion is also happy if you add [-]% to the other betrothal gifts."

The eldest lady looked at the princess, "What does the princess mean?"

The princess said coldly, "There is no need to add anything, just prepare according to the gift list."

The concubine Ming was furious at the side and said, "Next time, you don't need concubine Ming to accompany you?"

Ming concubine has a talkative look on her face, if you really want me to accompany you, I will definitely not refuse.

The eldest wife almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, she didn't speak and no one thought she was dumb!
The anger in the eldest wife's eyes could almost burst out, Ming concubine was amused, and happened to be a little hungry, so she retreated back to Chen Xiangxuan.

……

Inside the house, Haitang was cleaning the table, Xueyan saw it and asked, "Where's Xi'er?"

Haitang shook her head, she didn't know, "I left the house early in the morning, and I haven't come back yet."

Xueyan thought about it, and the fact that Xi'er was almost betrayed earlier came to mind, and she said in fear, "Is something going to happen again?"

Now she is afraid that Xi'er will go out alone, but Princess Langhuan has learned a lesson. Qiulu killed Miss Jiang and was killed with a stick. No one should target Xi'er anymore, right?
But don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, don't worry, Xueyan looked at Ming concubine and said, "Why don't I send someone to find her?"

"Go."

Xueyan went out on the front foot, and the servant girl brought the food into the house on the back foot.

After eating a bowl of rice, Xueyan came back, and said with a relaxed expression, "Concubine Shizi, Xi'er has returned to Dingbeihou's residence."

Ming concubine frowned slightly, "Alright, what is she going back to Dingbeihou Mansion for?"

Xueyan shook her head, "I don't know, Master Hou and his wife must be going to the wedding banquet, and the second girl and fourth son will also go. I really can't think of what Xi'er is going to do when she returns to the Hou's mansion, but the gatekeeper said Xi'er I came back an hour ago, but I didn’t take a few steps into the mansion, then turned around and went out in a hurry, the gatekeeper woman asked her if she had left something, Xi’er told her to go back to Dingbeihou’s mansion.”

Xi'er has a good relationship with the mother-in-law who is the gatekeeper. She usually buys some cakes for her toothbrush when she goes out of the house, which she likes very much.

Afraid that Ming concubine might be worried, Xueyan said, "Xi'er will be fine when she goes back to Dingbeihou's residence."

Ming concubine hummed lightly, continued to eat, and went to the pharmacy in the backyard to work after eating.

This busy, busy until the sun went down, Chu Mochen went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry to drink the wedding wine and came back, but Xi'er was still missing, and the snow geese were anxious like ants on a hot pot, looking forward to it outside the courtyard.

The sunset glow in the sky is gorgeous, lying like brocade clouds, and gradually, the colorful clouds are swallowed by the night.

Zhou's mother stood in the corridor and cursed, "That damn girl, why are you so uneasy, if something is delayed, you should send someone back to report."

Just after cursing, a little maid over there shouted, "I'm back, Sister Xi'er is back!"

Mother Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Xi'er walking in with a lantern. Xueyan went up to meet her and said, "What's the matter? Why did you come back so late? Seeing that Mother Zhou was in a hurry, I thought something was wrong with you." It's over."

Zhou's mother gave Xi'er a hard look and said, "It's becoming more and more unruly, why don't you hurry up and see Shi Zifei."

Xi'er nodded repeatedly, and went to the backyard with Xueyan.

In the pharmacy, Ming concubine was busy concocting the antidote, and the mixed poison was the most difficult to cure. She had tried no less than ten methods, but it still didn't work.

On the opposite side, Chu Mochen was reading a book, even though the noise of pounding medicine was louder, it didn't affect him at all.

Outside the house, Xi'er came in stepping on the steps, walked directly to Ming Concubine, and took out a long life lock from her arms to show Ming Concubine.

Mingyu frowned slightly, "What is this?"

She has no memory of Concubine Wei Ming, so she doesn't know that the Longevity Lock is hers.

Xue Yan recognized it, she held it in her hand, looked carefully and said, "This is the longevity lock of Shi Zifei, why is it in your hand?"
