Concubine Yu patted Lin Wan's hand lightly and said with a smile: "Last time you burned your foot in the Shouxi Palace, after Her Royal Highness the eldest princess learned about it, she immediately entered the palace and had a big fight with the queen mother. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Not only does the Queen Mother have scruples, I'm afraid even the Queen Mother won't dare to embarrass you anymore. In this palace, no one dares to provoke Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”

While the two were talking, Qi Zhen walked in from outside the hall, bowed, and said, "Niangniang, His Royal Highness Prince Ximen has come down." ”

Concubine Yu was stunned, turned her head to look at Lin Wan, and asked suspiciously, "Why is he here?"

Lin Wan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I don't know either." ”

Qizhen continued: "Qi Niangniang, Lao Li said that His Royal Highness the Prince of Ximen and the emperor finished discussing things in the Qinzheng Palace, and it was with the emperor's consent that they came to visit you in Yulin Palace with gifts. ”

Concubine Yu shook her head with a chuckle, glanced at Lin Wan, and said, "Presumably the emperor also knows that he is a drunkard, not in wine!"

Lin Wan's focus was not here, and he asked seriously: "Aunt Qizhen, what gift did Prince Ximen bring? If it is too perfunctory, drive him out." ”

Qizhen nodded with joy on her face, and said mysteriously: "Don't worry, Lord Wanxin, the slave will go and bring it in for you." ”

Lin Wan was full of doubts, and curiously watched Qizhen walk out quickly, and walked back after a while. Holding a box in his hand, he made no secret of the look of surprise on his face.

Qi Zhen carefully placed the one-foot-square black wooden box on the table, and then, with a slight smile, said, "Please open it yourself and take a look." ”

Lin Wan frowned, but without hesitation, she reached out and gently lifted the lid of the box, only to feel a dazzling light, which illuminated her eyes and couldn't open them.

I closed my eyes and couldn't wait to open them. I saw twelve round and huge East Pearls lying quietly in the box, crystal clear and dazzling. Even in this broad daylight, the faces of Lin Wan and Concubine Yu were reflected in the lushness and translucency.

No wonder even Qizhen attaches so much importance to Ximen Yuqing's gift and is so amazing. No woman can resist the temptation of jewelry, which has remained unchanged from ancient times to the present day.

Concubine Yu's eyes were also full of joy, her eyes looked at the shining beads in the box, but she shook her head painfully, reached out to cover the box, and frowned: "I can't accept such a valuable gift." Qizhen, you can return this box of Dongzhu to His Royal Highness Prince Ximen. I said that I received his heart, but I could not accept this gift. ”

Qizhen said with some embarrassment: "Qiyu Niangniang, Prince Ximen said, if you don't want it, let the slave and maid throw it away, don't give it back to him." ”

Concubine Yu was stunned, her brows tightened, and she asked again: "Where is Prince Ximen now? ”

Qi Zhen replied respectfully: "Niangniang, the slave maid led His Royal Highness Prince Ximen to the flower hall, and she is waiting to see Niangniang at the moment. ”

Concubine Yu stood up, nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll meet him." ”

Lin Wan also hurriedly got up and said, "Aunt Yu, I'll go with you." ”

Concubine Yu nodded in agreement and slowly walked out of the hall. Lin Wan followed her honestly, and Qizhen also held the box of Dongzhu and followed them closely.

In the flower hall, Ximen Yuqing was sitting alone at the table, with a faint smile on his face, drinking tea and shaking a fan, leisurely.

Concubine Yu smiled faintly, stepped into the door of the flower hall, and said politely: "The palace is late, so His Royal Highness the Prince of Ximen has been waiting for a long time." ”

Ximen Yuqing also hurriedly got up, bowed down, and said, "The younger generation has seen the Jade Concubine Niangniang!"

Concubine Yu walked to the main seat and sat down, and Lin Wan stood beside her. Concubine Yu smiled and nodded, and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Ximen doesn't need to be polite, please sit down!"

Ximen Yuqing smiled slightly, shook the folding fan lightly, walked back to his seat and sat down, his movements were elegant and polite.

Concubine Yu glanced at Qi Zhen and said straight to the point: "The gift of His Royal Highness Prince Ximen is too valuable, and this palace really doesn't dare to accept it." Such a valuable gift should be given to the future crown princess, how can it be given to the palace? ”

Ximen Yuqing shook his head slightly, and smiled humbly: "Concubine Yu's words are wrong. The sword is given to the hero, and the Dongzhu is given to the beauty. Only a demure and mature beauty like Concubine Yu Niangniang is worthy of this box of Dongzhu. If the Jade Concubine didn't accept it, the prince would really have to throw them back into the sea. ”

Concubine Yu shook her head without hesitation and said, "How His Royal Highness the Prince of Ximen disposes of this box of East Pearls, this palace has no right to interfere. In short, no matter what, Hongu can't take them. ”

Qizhen had already placed the black wooden box in front of Ximen Yuqing, and then retreated behind the jade concubine, her expression was indifferent, and she had long lost her previous love for those Dongzhu.

Ximen Yuqing's face was full of frustration, but he didn't dare to force it, nodded and said with a smile: "Since the Jade Concubine insists on refusing to accept it, this prince can't be strong." After a pause, he smiled again, looked at Lin Wan, and said, "It's not easy to take back the things that this prince sent." Lord Wanxin, are you willing to help Prince Ben out of the siege and accept this box of beads that no one wants?"

Lin Wan raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "His Royal Highness Prince Ximen, the lord of this county is neither demure nor mature, I'm afraid he is not worthy of this box of Dongzhu, right?"

Ximen Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, and said: "Lord Wanxin said that he laughed, no matter how rare these beads are, they are just some dead things. Where can compare to the county lord who is young, beautiful, intelligent and smart. These beads are given to the county lord, and they are just a little gadget of the county lord, where is there any deserving of it?"

Lin Wan smiled slightly and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Ximen is so eloquent! It's a pity that no matter what you send, I can't accept it." Even if you say that you have turned the world upside down, it is useless. ”

Ximen Yuqing frowned, his face was a little ugly, he shook the folding fan lightly, and was silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and only a trace of wind could be heard in the flower hall from Ximen Yuqing slowly shaking the folding fan.

Lin Wan secretly complained in his heart, sighed lightly, and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Ximen, if you really don't want to take back this box of beads, this county lord has a suggestion. ”

Ximen Yuqing raised his eyes and stared at Lin Wan, nodded slightly, and said, "County Lord, please speak!"

Lin Wan smiled faintly and said, "These twelve East Pearls can just be made into a bracelet." In more than 20 days, it will be the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, and His Royal Highness Prince Ximen can give this bracelet to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will be very happy. ”

Ximen Yuqing frowned slightly, he didn't want to give these precious Dongzhu to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift. However, if Lin Wan was unwilling to accept them, he felt that these Dongzhu were no longer of any value, and it didn't matter who they were given to.
