Chapter 31: Appearance
June was spent peacefully.
Wang Erhan did not get sick. Nothing changed except that she was sick.
Zhao Zhiyin favored the West Palace as usual, and Wang Erhan and Bai Jin'er in the East Palace could only grit their teeth and no longer dare to act rashly.
They still put the accounts on Lu Ji's head.
Now all the chips are betting on the eighth day of the seventh month to ward off the disaster and pressure for the county lord of Anhe.
No matter what, it's better than the broken grass embroidered by Lu Ji, right?
Wang Erhan thought angrily, while he had already asked his father to secretly find a famous embroiderer in the capital to embroider the purse.
When the delicate and small purse was in hand, Wang Erhan's heart was settled.
What's that blue-gray clump of blue-gray?
Lu Ji has to admit defeat to her this time!
Wang Erhan lay on the bed and thought of laughing, turned over and fell asleep with a slight grin.
Mrs. Xiao and the county lord of Anhe entered the palace at the time of Chen, and as soon as they came, they first went to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother, and then all the palace people also arrived, saw Mrs. Xiao, and sat in the main hall of Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother sat on the top of the couch in the south, and on the seat next to her were Mrs. Xiao and the county lord of Anhe, and the east and west palaces were divided into two columns.
The county lord of Anhe was dressed in children's clothes, with round eyebrows and eyes, lively and lovely, holding the wax Buddha's hand taken from a few fruit bowls, sitting on Mrs. Xiao's lap and talking non-stop.
"Mother, why can't you eat this Buddha's hand?"
"Mother, that sister's eyes are so big!"
"Mother, didn't you say that you want to take Chu'er to learn to write?"
"Mother, look, it really can't be eaten!"
The county lord of Anhe said that he was about to stuff the wax Buddha's hand into his mouth, which provoked the nursing mother Yuegu to hurriedly grab it.
Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, Lord An and the county lord suddenly stopped and laughed.
Aunt Yue patted her chest: "Auntie, grandma...... You're scaring me to death!"
Mrs. Xiao hugged the little county lord and said with a smile: "She's just a little bad embryo! It's not the first time you've fallen for her!"
The whole room laughed, praising the spirit of the little county host.
The Queen Mother didn't laugh, just leaned on the edge of a few cases and quietly picked up the tea and drank it.
Seeing the Queen Mother like this, Bai Jin'er picked up the silk and put it to her mouth and coughed lightly twice, and the laughter below stopped unknowingly.
The little county lord tilted his little head, stunned, and looked up at Mrs. Xiao in confusion.
"The little guy knows how to read people's eyes. The Queen Mother looked at the little county lord and said faintly.
Lu Ji suddenly felt a chill.
The little county lord seemed to have felt the inexplicable hostility of the Queen Mother, dropped his Buddha's hand and turned over in Mrs. Xiao's arms, hugging his mother's neck.
The wax Buddha's hand rolled around on the ground, and Yuegu hurriedly squatted down and picked it up.
"Why can't the Queen Mother get along with a child like this?" Madam Xiao glanced at the Queen Mother mockingly and said coldly.
Lu Ji remembered that the last time Mrs. Xiao protected herself in front of the Queen Mother, it was the same situation.
The Queen Mother seemed to be very jealous of Mrs. Xiao, but she kept secretly opposing her.
But Mrs. Xiao was unscrupulous and outspoken in front of the Queen Mother.
It's weird.
The Queen Mother didn't turn her head, was silent for a moment, and then said to the bottom: "The county lord has been sick for a hundred days, didn't the mourning family ask you to embroider your purse?"
As she spoke, she looked at Mrs. Xiao again, as if she intended to tell her that she still remembered the little county lord.
She asked them to do it for the little princess.
Wang Erhan reacted with a spirit, and immediately asked Hongxiang to take out the red silk brocade box and present it to Mrs. Xiao like a treasure.
"The concubine embroidered Pixiu, which will definitely bless the county lord with peace and security, and peace and harmony for the rest ......of his life."
"Chu'er, thank you Wang Jieyu. Mrs. Xiao asked the two girls of the little county lord, Mingyu and Xiaotong, to take it, and then lowered her head and gently teased the little county lord.
Wang Erhan was forcefully interrupted from his speech, so he had to swallow the word "Yi" that had already reached his lips and retreated curtly.
Unexpectedly...... Don't open it to take a look?
Bai Jin'er saw the opportunity, took out the purse from the delicate fine silk bag, Ying Ying stepped forward a few steps forward and presented it to Mrs. Xiao with her own hands, and smiled generously: "The concubine embroidered a koi carp, and I hope that the county lord of Anhe can still be at ease even if there are storms." ”
Mrs. Xiao only glanced at it slightly, and Xiao Jun raised her mouth and clapped her hands happily.
Mingyu Xiaotong still took it and exclaimed again and again: "The scales of this koi fish are also distinct, it is really lifelike!"
Bai Jin'er couldn't help but show a smug look on her face, and was about to retreat, but she heard Mrs. Xiao's tepid voice sounding in front of her.
"It's good-looking, it's just that I'd rather have no wind and waves for the rest of my life. ”
Mrs. Xiao looked at the little county lord and said with a smile, but the meaning of praise and disapproval behind these smiling words was clear.
Bai Jin'er's smug look immediately faded without a trace.
It turns out that she still thinks her words are brilliant.
Who knew that Mrs. Xiao had to pick out the bones in the eggs.
Damn it.
Mei Honeysuckle was carrying her purse worriedly.
Bai Jin'er's good embroidery was wiped out by cold words, what should she do?
At this time, Bai Jin'er returned to her seat and sat down, and no one stepped forward again. Lu Ji and Feng Shaoyi both seemed to have their eyes on themselves.
Mei Nindong closed her eyes tightly, recited a few "Amitabha Buddhas" silently, and stepped forward as if she were dying.
There are no beautiful decorations, and there are no delicate brocade box silk bags.
On a small beige dark silk purse, only the word "An" is embroidered.
Mrs. Xiao smiled.
Mei Honeysuckle blushed and lowered her head and whispered, "Concubine...... The concubine embroidery is not good, and she doesn't know many words, but the concubine knows that the word 'An' is excellent, so she ...... So ......"
She suddenly couldn't say any more, and Mingyu and Xiaotong hurriedly took over the round.
Mrs. Xiao smiled slightly: "I also think the word 'An' is very good." ”
While turning his head, he teased the little county lord and said, "It's still the title given by your seven-star brother." ”
The little county lord giggled, and he was the same cheerful appearance as before.
Mei Nindong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her seat.
It's time for Lu Ji. It's her turn.
Wang Erhan and Bai Jin'er stared at Lu Ji fiercely.
Wang Erhan's clothes were about to be torn.
"My little master doesn't make a purse. Akane bowed her head apologetically and said.
"Oh?" the Queen Mother seemed to be angry.
Mrs. Xiao and Wang Bai were just as surprised.
would you let go of such an opportunity to please the Queen Mother?
"Why?" asked Mrs. Xiao with a pleasant face, she didn't think about reproaching, but it was a little strange.
Moreover, compared with Wang Erhan and Bai Jin'er's deliberate flattery, she appreciates such a frank meeting more.
Lu Ji was puzzled, the **** had obviously seen Feng Shaoyi's half-embroidered purse.
Qian Sha lowered her head and continued: "Our little lord grew up in the Western Regions since he was a child, so he is not good at these needlework, please forgive the Queen Mother and Mrs. Xiao." ”
Mrs. Xiao smiled tolerantly: "It's okay. ”
Lu Ji understood, probably because Feng Shaoyi felt that he didn't embroider well and didn't want to show it to others, so he simply said that he didn't embroider?
What a strong man.
But such frankness makes Lu Ji like it a lot.
Now it's time for Lu Ji.
Wang Erhan and Bai Jin'er relaxed a little, and their faces also smiled.
Bai Jin'er picked up the teacup.
Look at what kind of flower heads can there be in that broken grass?
I'm afraid that I will be disliked and too despicable!
They were already waiting to see Lu Ji's appearance, but who knew that Mrs. Xiao seemed to have the intention of closing.
"I've thanked you all for Chu'er. Mrs. Xiao said with a smile, and ordered Ming Yu Xiaotong to put away all the things, and distributed a few strings of turquoise bracelets to the five people.
"This is turquoise from Huguang, and the color is very moist. Mrs. Xiao said, and also took a string for the little county lord to put in his hand to play.
The little county lord put the bracelet on his face and surrounded his eyes and grinned: "Mother, there are clouds in this blue!
Mrs. Xiao laughed and hugged her and kissed her on the pink cheek.
Wang Erhan was unwilling.
Just let Lu Ji go?
"Lu Baolin was still embroidering the purse for the little county lord a few days ago," she couldn't hide the fire burning in her heart, and said in a weird manner, "Why don't you take it out today?"
