444. Serving tea
"My wife has always been stupid, but she doesn't have a wink like her aunt back then... It's a pity that the fallen flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless." Chu Yunxi pulled An Xiaoqing who almost knelt down and said coldly.
It turned out to be His Highness the Princess. I heard that the eldest princess loved to destroy a prince of the Great Chu State. Unfortunately, the prince ran away as soon as he saw the eldest princess and refused to marry the eldest princess. The eldest princess even sought death for this. This matter has long become a laughing stock in the royal family.
The eldest princess's face turned red and blue, and she turned her head and looked like she was not treated with Pei Xiaoqing's courtesy.
When the princess saw it, she said, "Xiaoqing, that's His Highness, the eldest princess, she can't be considered a direct elder, just give her a cup of tea."
It means there is no need to kneel. Pei Xiaoqing was so kind that she was so kind that she offered tea to the eldest princess straight. The eldest princess's face looked very bad, but she brought the tea to drink it. She took out a silver hairpin and threw it into Zisang's tray, and turned her head proudly.
But Zhi looked at the ordinary silver hairpin, and the eldest princess looked like she was sending a beggar. Pei Xiaoqing smiled and picked up the hairpin and handed it to Zisang and said:
"After a while, there will be a maid and a grandmother who will congratulate you, please give this reward. Although it is a little shabby, it is also the ones that the princesses give, and it is so noble."
The eldest princess was so angry that she stood up and said, "The elders gave me, I dare not refuse. Nephew and daughter-in-law, are you disliked the gift from this palace to reward you too light? It turns out that it was from a small family, and she only recognizes money in her eyes."
Although Pei Qing is a fourth-rank minister, he can only be considered a small family compared to the royal family who are sitting there. In front of everyone, the eldest princess is so proud of Pei Xiaoqing. Many people present secretly covered their mouths and laughed. Liu Jingru even raised her chin and looked at Pei Xiaoqing with an arrogant look.
Pei Xiaoqing smiled faintly, turned around and took the silver hairpin from Zisang's hand: "Then give her aunt's gift, otherwise she would say that I was born in a small family and even had a silver hairpin."
Do you think I dislike you for being lightly? I just dislike you, so what about you?
Pushing the silver hairpin into the princess's hand, Pei Xiaoqing walked to the next relative with a smile.
The eldest son's face turned green and turned around and said to an old woman in the palace dress sitting beside Ning Wang: "Mother, my daughter's life is so miserable. Even a new junior bullies her daughter."
The concubine narrowed her eyes slightly, looking drowsy. When the princess called her, she seemed to wake up and suddenly said, "Ping Ning, what did you say? Did you say that you would like to reward your nephew and daughter-in-law? Didn't I give you a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets yesterday and ask you to give them to her?"
As she sat there, she looked at the eldest princess with strange eyes. She clearly had a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, but she only gave her a silver hairpin. When the new niece came in, she didn't feel embarrassed, and the concubine was afraid she felt embarrassed. The eldest princess's face suddenly turned red and white, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
The old concubine said, "You said your grandson-in-law bullied you? But you disliked your pair of bracelets not good? It's impossible. That's what the late emperor rewarded me. That child should be able to see."
"Mother's Concubine..." The old concubine didn't say it, but the more she said the eldest son's face became less and less.
