Chapter 44: Greetings
The two soon arrived at the lobby, and a room of maids and servants secretly cast their eyes over, and when they saw the couple, they couldn't help but praise a few times, and quickly lowered their heads, only to glance at them quietly from time to time.
On the top sat Ling Rui and Lu Wanqiu.
Ling Rui was wearing a royal blue brocade robe inlaid with gold filigree inscriptions, he was still smiling gently, and his originally sickly white face was also a little ruddy.
And Lu Wanqiu is also dressed up, wearing a light purple embroidered peony dress, wearing sapphire pearls and swaying, which sets off her well-maintained face.
It's just that she was tired at this time, thinking that she was troubled by Lu Xueyu yesterday, and now she is a little careless.
Ling Yichen walked in front of Ling Rui with Qing Li, knelt down, and Qing Li knelt down with him, "Qing Li greets my father." ”
A maidservant girl brought a tea cup, and Qing Li took it and handed it to Ling Rui, "Father, please use tea." ”
She glanced at it slightly, and then realized that it was Wen Lan who handed over the tea. I saw envy and joy in her eyes, maybe she still hid a faint loss, but she didn't have any jealousy.
Qing Li raised her eyebrows, Wen Lan is indeed a good woman!
With such a beautiful woman always by his side, Ling Yichen really didn't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness......
Ling Rui smiled and took the teacup handed by Qing Li, took a sip and personally helped her up.
Seeing the two of them standing like golden boys and girls, his face and eyes were full of smiles, and he couldn't help but applaud in his heart.
took out a brocade box from her sleeve pocket, which contained a pair of blood-colored earrings, and Ling Rui handed them to her, "This is the blood jade earrings that Concubine Chen'er has prepared a long time ago, and it will be used as a gift today." ”
The blood-colored warm jade is warm to the touch and has a brilliant texture. This is the product of a small country near Xichuan, and the quantity is extremely rare, and it is already a superb product in such a condition.
Qing Li bowed in thanks, glanced at Ling Yichen, and saw a slight surge in his eyes, probably thinking of his mother.
I once heard that the former princess was gentle and generous, modest and polite, and she was a well-known talented woman in Kyoto......
She was suddenly a little curious about what kind of person this former princess was.
It's just that at this moment, the meeting gift given by his father was prepared by the former princess, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Lu Wanqiu.
Even if her father and her relationship are not harmonious, such an obvious disregard must make Lu Wanqiu resentful.
Qing Li looked at her, and sure enough, Lu Wanqiu's face became gloomy.
It's just that she still has to take the princess's money, coldly sweep the snickering subordinates, and see that they are silent, so she retracts her gaze and looks happy with satisfaction.
Ling Yichen had never taken Lu Wanqiu in his eyes, so he just took it as a formality, and nodded slightly, "My nephew has seen Aunt Qiu." ”
Before Lu Wanqiu could answer, Ling Yichen raised his head, looked at her with disdain, and then turned his gaze.
Lu Wanqiu was very angry, and Qing Li was secretly amused.
In order to make a show, she owed a little and handed over the teacup, "I've seen Aunt Qiu." ”
The lukewarm attitude of these two made Lu Wanqiu feel humiliated, especially in front of a room full of people, which made her even more angry.
She is usually majestic in the house, who dares to look at her jokes?
But since Ling Yichen came back from the border, he seemed to be working against her everywhere, and she hadn't heard much gossip from the servants in private these days! If she hadn't used some means to block Youyou's mouth, where could there be peace at this time?
Now it's all right! These two simply came together!
Lu Wanqiu's face became bad, but she is still a person who knows how to forbear, not to mention that now that the prince is still present, he is naturally towards his son, if she is sprinkled at this time, it will be a thankless task!
Taking a few deep breaths, Lu Wanqiu held back her breath, thinking of what Xue Yu said yesterday, she took a sip of tea and faked a smile: "Li Er will be a person from the palace in the future, this is a meeting gift from Aunt Qiu, a little heart, accept it." ”
She took out a jasper bracelet, the color and texture were all of the finest, but the most special thing was that there was a deep red bloodshot sandwiched between the emerald green bracelets, with a bewitching and treacherous beauty.
Lu Wanqiu took Qing Li's hand and put it on, and patted it affectionately, "Li'er, this blood-silk jasper is not easy to come by, you have to wear it well, otherwise Aunt Qiu will be angry!" ”
There was a smile in her eyebrows and eyes, and the reason why she said this in front of everyone was nothing more than to make Qing Li not disobey her.
Qing Li smiled and nodded, lowered her eyes and thanked her: "Aunt Xie Qiu, Qing Li must have been wearing it." ”
Her long, thick eyelashes blocked the sharp cold light that flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth smiled warmly, like a very obedient kitten.
Lu Wanqiu was happy when she saw this, and pulled Qing Li to say something.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ling Rui asked the two of them to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother. After all, that's Chen'er's own grandmother, and going to ask for peace is also what a junior should do.
The carriage had already been prepared outside the door, and Qing Li and Ling Yichen got into the carriage and headed to the gate of the palace.
The sound of the car in his ears was even loud, Qing Li took off the bloodshot jasper bracelet in his hand and watched it lightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but the expression was a little subtle.
Ling Yichen asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Why do you keep staring at this bracelet? Although blood-silk jasper is rare, but for the Qing family, it is not impossible to be better than this, Li Er has no reason to react now.
Qing Li chuckled, rubbing the bloodshot on the jade bracelet slightly between his fingers, and his eyes were full of brilliance, "This jade bracelet is interesting!" ”
Feeling the movement on the inside of her arm, she smiled more deeply.
The thing placed in the sleeve pocket is the golden silkworm that her grandfather gave her yesterday, and now the golden silkworm is moving, which means that there is a Gu worm. And this abnormal movement started when Lu Wanqiu took out this jasper bracelet.
The Qing family also has a small amount of jade business, and she has seen some blood-colored jasper, mainly due to some special natural circumstances, which make one or two blood-colored silk threads appear in the original jasper, so it is much more expensive than other jade species.
However, the blood-silk jasper is mainly produced in Java, and the jade in her hand is Langhuan jasper, which does not exist in Java at all.
As for this blood, I think it should be a Gu worm planted in it......
I heard that Lu Yuansheng has a concubine who is from Southern Xinjiang, and Gu poison is a specialty of Southern Xinjiang, so it is not strange that Lu Wanqiu can give this thing.
It's just that Baimi finally has a mistake, and she is still a bad move!
It seems that the Lu family really hates her now, and they have begun to use such shady means. If it weren't for the fact that her grandfather gave her a golden silkworm, it is estimated that she would have been tricked......
Qing Li shook his head with a smile, found a silk handkerchief and wrapped the jasper bracelet and put it away.
Gu worms are extremely rare in the Central Plains Continent, and now she has such a good thing to keep it away!
Ling Yichen didn't understand the meaning of her words, but he didn't go into more depth, but he was a little lost in his heart.
Li'er always had her own ideas, but she never wanted to share them with him. After all, I still haven't got her full trust, and now I think about it, it's still a little frustrating!
Looking at the woman who was already leaning against the wall of the car and sleeping lightly, the only sourness in Ling Yichen's heart disappeared.
In the future, he believes that he will one day be able to let her off guard......
