Chapter 272 Pearl Rewarding Banquet
It's already late at night.
Honeysuckle quietly pulled the fire in the small stove a little smaller, and warmed up a pot of water. If the little girl got up at night, she would not drink cold water.
After sorting out everything, she tiptoed to the edge of the bed, took off the curtain from the copper hook, and gently covered it.
In the room, you can hear the heavy breathing of the two of them.
When the honeysuckle closed the door, he paused slightly, sighed in his heart, and walked into the yard, "Madam, please go back and rest. The second lady rested in our house. Just have me here tonight, and come back tomorrow morning."
One made a bold statement to relieve Ah Mei; the other lied to relieve Ah Sister, and said she was relieved; in the end, no one was relieved, and no one fell asleep.
Madam Fang looked at the closed door with a complicated expression and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work there. I'll come back when I get up tomorrow morning."
...
For several days, the city of Tokyo was silent.
This is because of Qingming Festival, and secondly, the Zheng Wang Mansion was plotting rebellion, and the streets were full of people arresting people. Most ordinary people did not hide at home and did not leave, for fear of causing trouble.
It was not until the Queen Mother's post came down and ordered the bead-appreciation banquet that she regained her anger and became lively again.
Xie Jingyi has been busy all these days, and there is no news from the Hei Yuwei, but the east wind of the pearl banquet will not make a lot of money.
Although no one said it clearly, everyone who could go knew that this was the Empress Dowager who intended to expand the harem for the official family. As soon as he soared into the sky, who would not want him to be able to be beautiful and stand out among the little fairies?
The time is for huge profits!
Xie Jingyi made a fortune and hummed a small song while sitting in the carriage entering the palace!
Xie Jingyin, who was sitting beside him, moved her neck uneasily, "Sannan, can I not wear this hairpin? My grandfather is so real. This hairpin is too heavy, and my neck is about to be broken."
Xie Jingyi looked up and was immediately happy.
"It's like a dog-tail grass is inserted into my head. I also said that my mother is too nervous, but she is very stubborn, for fear that you will be underestimated, so she almost asked someone to use a rope to string gold ingots and use it as an earring for you!"
Xie Jingyin couldn't help but touch his earlobe, "Why don't you hang my ears in a short time!"
As she said, she decisively took off the golden hairpin on her head, handed it to Madam Fang and told her to put it away, and then shook her neck, and her whole body seemed to be lighter.
The hairpin on Xie Jingyin's head is a Lanling flower hairpin. It is finely crafted and densely packed with flower bells. Even the petals and leaves can be seen clearly.
Although it is just pure gold and does not have jade inlaid, the method of making gold alone is enough to make it worthy of the four words "absolutely extraordinary". This is the most exquisite one among the eight major dowry given to her by Mrs. Zhai when she got married.
It’s a pity that Xie Baolin has always been a small county magistrate. When Zhai was young, he never wore it once. Now he is old this year and is too eye-catching to wear it. He took it out of the warehouse today and stuck it on Xie Jingyin’s head.
Xie Jingyi looked at a piece missing on her head, which seemed a little empty. She shook the steps on her head, pulled it off, and inserted it on Xie Jingyin's head.
Xie Jingyin reached out and touched her, unable to help but say, "Then aren't you too simple?"
Xie Jingyi waved her hand indifferently, "I'm all settled for a kiss. Even if I go wearing a torn sack, no one will care about it. Chai Er will go, so who dares to underestimate me?"
As he spoke, he had already arrived at the palace gate. As soon as he got off the carriage, Xie Jingyi saw Chai Youchen waiting there.
Today he was wearing a brand new light blue brocade robe with a hairband of the same color, which rarely brought a youthful look. He was always dressed in black on weekdays and had a coffin face. If he didn't look at his face carefully, he would think he was already at his thirty.
There were many young ladies coming, and many of them got off the carriage at this moment, waiting for the palace servants to lead them. When they saw Chai Youchen greeting him, they all looked over quietly.
Xie Jingyi nodded to Chai Youchen, reached out and lifted the curtain, "Second Sister."
Xie Jingyin put the corners of the skirt, and Madam Fang's teaching echoed in her mind. She got off the carriage with a smile, and she should be elegant and decent, her neck should be stretched, her chin should be raised, her steps should not be big, her walking should not be loud, her most important thing is not to eat peas anytime and anywhere!
It's really frustrating!
Xie Jingyi looked at her pretending to behave and twitched speechlessly. She could pretend for a while, but still pretend for a lifetime? She dared to promise that in less than a stick of incense, the beauty in front of her would be revealed...
No matter how Xie Jingyi was talking, the other young ladies around him took a breath.
After Xie Jingyin came to the capital, she mostly squatted at home. Even when she went out, she didn't dress up seriously and was very low-key. Although her reputation was vaguely passed down, most of the people who came here saw her for the first time.
At this glance, it was like a nail was born, and I couldn't move my eyes away.
The palace maid who came to lead the way was stunned at first, then bent down deeply, "It's the little lady of the Xie family, let's come with the old slave. It rained just two days ago, be careful of the slippery road."
Xie Jingyin nodded softly, "I'm here for a nanny."
Just with this face, as long as she is not stupid enough to break through the sky, if she enters the palace gate, she must be no nameless person.
"Liangying, Lianying, stop looking, leave."
Xie Jingyi listened to the name and looked over. She saw a young lady about sixteen or seventeen years old, blushing and looking at Xie Jingyin with an obsessive look. She didn't even notice that the veil fell to the ground.
Beside her, a girl with a round face and looking very festive look was anxiously pulling her sleeve. The palace servants leading the way had already walked forward. If they didn't follow, they wouldn't be able to chase anyone.
"Here, come, come, now, my veil fell off." The man named Lianying picked up the veil on the ground and walked forward quickly. Although he was walking fast, his steps were not at all panic.
Xie Jingyi frowned slightly and glanced at Chai Youchen. She knew this little lady, named Gao Lianying, and she would be her future concubine.
In her previous life, Xie Jingyi had no disgust towards her, and even thought that there were many concubines in the palace, which was a good thing for the little emperor to spread. But now Xie Jingyin is about to enter the palace, but she is like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. No matter how she looks, she hopes that he will not be close to the female sex. Of course, her daughter is not among the female sex.
What a fickle wolf cub! I really deserve a beating!
Xie Jingyi looked at Xie Jingyin responding freely, quietly took a step back and followed her. Chai Youchen, who was standing beside her, was waiting, and then moved her feet when Xie Jingyi walked to her side.
"You also wore a blue dress today, which looks very good."
"Bang!" A loud noise came from the front.
