Chapter Seventy-Seven: Gifts and Gifts
Xie Xuelin sat in front of the dresser, looking at the delicate face like a flower in the bronze mirror, twisted the hairpin in the jewelry box on the side, inserted it into the bun, and then hooked her lips and raised a confident smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Some time ago, the hairpins ordered by several sisters had already been delivered, but she was the only one that she brought this morning.
This hairpin looks ordinary, not as gorgeous as the eldest sister Xie Yulin, not as delicate as the third sister Xie Menglin, and even inferior to Xie Zhaolin's camellia hosta.
It has only a silver hairpin body, with dozens of tiny, withered branches branched out at the end, decorated with pearls. It looks strange but not beautiful.
But Xie Xuelin herself knows that among the several hairpins customized by the sisters, this one of her owns is the most precious.
Although the silver is not valuable, the beads inlaid are all night pearls, which look ordinary during the day, but shine at night, and the most eye-catching person must be her at that time!
Hmph, isn't she just an unfavored princess? still pretended to be so aloof and arrogant, and refused to tell her anything! When she becomes the third princess, let's see who is more beautiful!
In fact, Xie Yulin was wrong, she would never have thought that Xie Xuelin went to find the crown princess not to be the prince's concubine, but to the third prince.
Although the crown prince is also handsome and extraordinary, and he is favored by the emperor, he is arrogant and does his own thing, which has already caused the dissatisfaction of many ministers.
On the other hand, the three princes, Wen Taowu Luo, and his mother's noble family have always been nobles in the Daxing Dynasty, and they are many times better than the prince's deceased mother, Lin Guifei.
In addition, the third prince Qin Jue has not yet established a concubine, and he is also good to several concubines, and the rain and dew are all wet, and he seems to be very measured. So Xie Xuelin's preference has always been the third prince.
As for why she went to find the crown princess, she had to start with what her mother had heard.
Second Mrs. Xie is a clever person, long-sleeved, good at dancing, and sociable, and has dealings with many official ladies and nobles in the capital, so she is naturally very well-informed.
So I know a lot about the old things about the crown princess and the third prince.
To be honest, at the beginning, Xie Xuelin refused Second Mrs. Xie's proposal.
Are you kidding? It's always been someone else's share in her, so why is it her turn to stammer others? Take a step back and say, since the crown princess and the third prince once had something, how could they still recommend her to the man she loved? What a laugh out of my big teeth!
However, Second Madam Xie scolded her for not being knowledgeable, even if she couldn't find out anything, she could learn from the crown princess. You know, the three princes like this!
So later, after going to Fahua Temple to make incense, she remembered this and did it by the way.
Although the crown princess's attitude towards her can almost be described as cold as ice, there is still a reward.
For example, I heard that the third prince likes the night pearl. So Xie Xuelin had the idea of customizing hairpins, and Xie Zhaolin and the others also picked them, but it was just to cover people's eyes.
It's good that few people know about this kind of thing, especially the eldest sister!
"Miss, Miss Tang is here." The maid came in to report.
"Invite her in." Although she didn't know why Xie Zhaolin came suddenly, Xie Xuelin still sensitively pulled out the hairpin and hid it before inviting someone.
The maid responded by going out for a while, and Xie Zhaolin came in with red love. She is wearing a goose-yellow embroidered skirt today, with a tassel hanging down her waist, looking graceful and graceful. A camellia hairpin is also inserted on the head, which is simple but unexpectedly good-looking.
"My sister is so beautiful today." Xie Xuelin praised sincerely after reading it.
Xie Zhaolin's face turned red when she heard this, she covered her mouth shyly, and sat down on the embroidery stool: "My sister has tormented me, my sister is the real Tianzi country." But speaking of which, I really want to thank my sister for the hairpin. She subconsciously touched the hairpin and said.
Now Xie Xuelin was embarrassed, she was just for herself, who knew that the other party would thank her so much.
So she was about to say something, to show that it was just a gesture, but suddenly saw Xie Zhaolin take a box from Hongqing's hand, open it and push it to her.
"A little bit of heart, give it to my sister, I don't know what type you like, so I made these kinds first." Xie Zhaolin explained.
What is it? According to her intentions, she still made it herself, so she had to take a good look.
Xie Xuelin took out a small blue and white porcelain vase from the box and looked closely, and found that there was a small piece of paper pasted on the bottle, and the words "peony black tea" were written in Juanxiu's font.
"What is this?" She raised her eyes and threw a puzzled look at Xie Zhaolin.
"It's incense, my sister can pour it on the incense test paper and smell it." Xie Zhaolin said as she took out the small piece of paper inside the box, opened another bottle of perfume and clicked a few drops on one end, and then handed it to Xie Xuelin.
Xie Xuelin took it with some hesitation, slowly put it under her nose and smelled it, and suddenly felt a fragrance of citrus wafting in.
Xie Zhaolin looked at her with a smile and asked, "This is citrus, I named it Qingkan." My sister can try the bottle in your hand, and there will be a different experience. ”
So Xie Xuelin pulled out the stopper of "Peony Black Tea" and made it again in the same way. This time, the unique fragrance belonging to the peony flower overflowed the nasal passages.
"Very good." Xie Xuelin raised her head.
However, Xie Zhaolin asked her to smell it again, saying that there would be new discoveries. Xie Xuelin leaned over to smell the letter suspiciously. This time, she was pleasantly surprised to smell the fragrance of tea.
Xie Xuelin's eyes brightly raised her head, her eyes were full of admiration for Xie Zhaolin, and something different.
"My sister is really amazing, she can actually refine two flavors. In the whole world, in addition to the one who smells the fragrance, there is only a sister! ”
Xie Zhaolin was very embarrassed to be praised like this, she said modestly: "My sister likes it, I am really ashamed to praise it like this." ”
But this time Xie Xuelin didn't give up, she took Xie Zhaolin's hand and complained: "I really praise my sister!" My sister really deserves this compliment. Since my sister Yu Xiangxiang is so talented, I might as well introduce someone to you. ”
"This ......," Xie Zhaolin frowned, as if he wanted to refuse.
This made Xie Xuelin anxious again, and she pouted dissatisfied: "My sister came to my house as a guest, but she stayed in the house for the past few days. Those who know understand that my sister doesn't like to move around, and those who don't know think that I am not considerate! It's just to go shopping, I don't want to know each other, and I hope my sister doesn't refuse! ”
After speaking, he took a pair of big eyes and looked at Xie Zhaolin pitifully.
Xie Zhaolin couldn't resist her, and if she wanted to go out for a walk, she shouldn't meet any acquaintances, and now that she had changed her face, she didn't have to worry too much, so she agreed.
