Xi Cui thought that her plan was very thorough, but she underestimated He Rongyao's ability to coax people, just before she packed up and went to the Liwang Mansion with the gifts, He Rongyao had already said that the princess was moved, and she used her agate strings as a gift to Princess Chaoyang, not to mention that she also collected the cat's eye stone noodles she sent into the private treasury.

When Xi Cui's greeting post was sent in, the princess was discussing the pattern of the embroidered handkerchief with He Rongyao, and when she heard the rumor, the princess was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart, what is she going to do? But after thinking about it, since sooner or later you have to face it, avoiding it is not a way, and it will hurt Yu Feng's heart. So he ordered someone to bring Xi Cui in.

After a while, Xi Cui appeared at the door, she stood up, walked at the threshold and stopped, gently put her hand on the back of the two maids with her, slowly stepped across the threshold, and then walked to the princess three steps in front of the princess with a small smile.

Looking down, I saw her holding a lotus hairpin full of green silk, and the lotus was carved from tourmaline stone. A few strands of blue tassels are gathered behind the head, and an east pearl hangs, and the sun shines in, and the east pearl is scorching. After getting up, Xi Cui raised her head, more than a dozen small rubies were strung into a crescent-shaped eyebrow pendant, and her skin was becoming more and more white and immature against the red gems, as if it was broken when she blew it.

Dressed in a pale yellow dress, azure gown, the skirt is embroidered with pink silk thread with fine cherry petals, hooked with a layer of gold wire, as if the cherry blossom is plated with a layer of gold edge, in the sun, dazzling. It is covered with an aqua blue gauze with rattan patterns embroidered with jade-colored silk threads.

Princess Li looked at Xi Cui over and over again quietly, she hadn't seen her for just a few months, and at this time, Xi Cui standing in front of her, whether she was dressed or between her eyebrows, didn't have the slightest shadow of Xi Cui who she saw in the Wang family a few months ago! The face opened and turned into a flower-like delicate little beauty, with a swaying posture and a lively step, at first glance, I really thought that Xi Cui had become a delicate beauty. But when the princess saw her eyes, she quickly changed her opinion, and the sharpness and sophistication projected in those eyes were rarely seen by her. It was this look that made Princess Li dislike Xi Cui even more, because she knew what that look meant, full of calculations, bottomless city! It's exactly what she hates to see!

Thinking that such a woman was destined to become her daughter-in-law, Princess Li couldn't help but feel a blockage in her heart.

"Xi Cui has seen Princess Li, Miss He ......" Because she had long known that He Rongyao would come over, Xi Cui saw that her face did not change in the slightest.

He Rongyao was a little surprised, if he was an ordinary person, he would always show some dislike when he saw other women so close to his future mother-in-law, but Xi Cui turned a blind eye, as if his existence was not a threat at all.

"Hmm. What are you here to do? "Princess Li is very polite.

Xi Cui was not in a hurry to answer, because she knew that this was the time when He Rongyao behaved in front of Princess Li, and she would definitely not sit and watch the play. A woman who cares so much about her sense of existence is unwilling to easily miss any opportunity to die, and He Rongyao is that kind of person.

Sure enough, before the princess's words fell, He Rongyao gently grabbed the princess's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Oh, princess, how can you say that about Sister Xi Cui." Look at my sister, isn't she still carrying a gift, don't guess, my sister must have spent a lot of money to honor the princess...... Look, my sister is thinking about you, I just gave a gift yesterday, and I'm here again today! ”

Her words seemed to be helping Xi Cui, but when they reached the princess's ears, they turned sour. Xi Cui's constant gift-giving seems to be filial, but whose money is it spent? At least in the eyes of the princess, Xi Cui has always been raised by Yu Feng, and she naturally spends Yu Feng's money, so she spends money lavishly, what kind of person Xi Cui has become in the eyes of the princess, you can imagine. The most important thing is that Xi Cui's so-called concern is to spend her son's money to buy things for the princess, if such a daughter-in-law really enters the door in the future, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is self-evident.

Princess Li's face really became worse and worse, and her eyes became more alienated and cold when she looked at Xi Cui.

But Xi Cui turned around unhurriedly and waved her hand at Yingxiang Lixiang, signaling them to put down their things and go out. The two of them put the box they were carrying on the coffee table next to them and withdrew.

Xi Cui gently opened one of them, and there was only one corset inside. Xi Cui held her waist with both hands, walked to the place where the princess had taken three steps, and slowly opened it. This is a big red tunic with gold thread embroidered with dragon and phoenix auspiciousness, and the corners are full of auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread. At first glance, the embroidery is general, but this gold thread is precious, but a closer look can be seen that the red cloth surface of the front brocade is actually embroidered with red silk thread, because the stitches are too fine, so people will think it is a piece of red cloth at first glance, but in fact, the texture of this red embroidery is faintly visible A line of small poems, "Life and death are broad, and Zicheng said, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son." ”

The princess looked at this corset from disdain at first, to amazement, and then to admiration with her eyes shining, "What a delicate embroiderer!" Where did you get such a corset? Quick, show me. ”

Xi Cui smiled and took a few steps forward to put the corset in the princess's hand, "This is my sister who lives with me in the twilight moon return and accidentally saw it through an embroidery village, thinking that Princess Chaoyang was engaged to give me a post and bought it back for me. The embroidery lady had a very good relationship with my sister, and only accepted three taels of silver from her, and I thought it was not expensive so I accepted it. But after all, Princess Chaoyang is only engaged, and it seems that it is not appropriate to give this girdle, but it seems to be more suitable as a wedding gift. Thinking about the two things that I sent to the princess yesterday, a pair of cat's eye stone noodles is to help you choose it as an engagement, so I simply used this corset as a wedding gift. Save the time when the princess will work hard to figure out what to give. What do you think? ”

The princess really liked this thing at first, but it was also suitable as a wedding gift when she heard Xi Cui's words, but listening to Xi Cui's tone, this corset and the cat's eye stone noodles seemed to be sent together, and taking her corset was not equivalent to using her cat's eye stone noodles? This...... She just promised He Rongyao to use her red agate skewers.

Looking at the princess's face and listening to Xiao Yi's explanation, Xi Cui suddenly understood. Dare to love herself or miss He Rongyao's means, she actually coaxed the princess to agree to her first! It's not good to embarrass the princess.

So Xi Cui turned to say, "Of course, I just thought so at first, if you have already chosen a gift for the princess, I can't force you to follow my wishes." But this corset is really good, it seems that you like it too, princess, why don't you take it first, and if there is no more suitable one, you can send it out, multiple choices are always good. ”

The princess thought that Xi Cui would insist, but she didn't expect her to be so interested, her face suddenly softened a lot, and she gently put away the corset and handed it to the maid beside her. Then he pointed to the chair beside Xi Cui, "It's been so long, if you have anything to say, sit down and say." ”

Xi Cui knew that this was a change in the princess's attitude towards herself, and immediately sat down happily. I opened another box with my hand, and inside it was several one-inch white porcelain bottles. Look at the white porcelain is also an ordinary thing, not valuable, and the pattern on the bottle is not a celebrity note. I saw Xi Cui carefully pick up the box with both hands, place it on the coffee table next to the princess, pick up one of the porcelain bottles casually, and hand it to the princess, "This porcelain bottle I gave you contains a pill to clear heat and remove fire." Yu Feng said that you have been upset recently, and sometimes you can't eat, and the doctor always says that it is caused by too much fire, and you always don't drink the medicine you are afraid of, and you only dare to eat some light food on weekdays, and the more you eat, the less you eat, the thinner and thinner your body is. I asked a few doctors, and I got these pills, which are easy to carry and only need one pill a day, and they are taken with warm water, and there is no bitter taste. There are remarks on the bottle body, which is convenient for distinguishing in the future, and there are other phlegm and cough relieve, beauty and beauty ...... You can look at it according to your own body. ”

"But what the hell is medicine, how can you take it casually? The princess is a delicate and expensive person, unlike the grass people in the market, it is better to see a doctor for this medicine or something. "He Rongyao finally couldn't sit still, the corset just now had already asked Xi Cui to bargain, and now he can't sit idly by." I know that Sister Xi Cui is good for the princess, but you can't send medicine here! That sounds ...... too."

The princess was originally full of joy when she heard Xi Cui's words, thinking that Yu Feng was thinking about her recent body. But when I heard He Rongyao say this, her face immediately changed, this meal can be eaten casually, and you can eat it casually if you haven't heard of medicine. Also, what does it mean that this Xi Cui gave himself medicine when he entered the door for the first time? Isn't that cursing yourself? It just doesn't make sense!

Xi Cui saw that the princess's face was gloomy again, and she didn't panic, and after taking the porcelain vase in the princess's hand, she still put it back in the box. said with a smile, "What Miss He said is also right, medicine naturally can't be taken indiscriminately." So when I was looking for someone to make these pills, I specifically asked the doctor who had seen the princess, and these medicines were made according to the prescription he prescribed. As for the other bottles, there are no pills in them, just some empty bottles, I just heard Yu Feng say that the princess is prone to cough when it is cold, and she doesn't like to use bitter medicine, and it will take a long time to heal. Therefore, he ordered someone to mark the word cough suppressant on the bottle, and if the doctor saw it in the future, he would prescribe the medicine and make it into a pill and put it in the bottle for easy consumption. If the princess is in good health, then you can make some beauty pills, although the princess's appearance is still the same, but if she can be a few years younger, it is always more happy, isn't it? ”

When the princess heard her say this, she picked up the bottles casually, and they were really empty, except for some words on the bottles. He didn't speak, but glanced at the maid beside him and asked her to put the box away.

Is this both?

Xi Cui looked at He Rongyao with a smile, and the two looked at each other. A trace of resentment flashed in He Rongyao's eyes, which was fleeting, but Xi Cui could still see it clearly.

Just when He Rongyao thought that this matter should be over, Xi Cui looked at her side with the tea, "Miss He, you must have come here with something today, I saw that you bought a lot of things yesterday, although you only ran away from the Linlang Pavilion family, but when you left at the end, you took seven or eight things with you." I didn't even have time to see what you chose, so I'm a little disappointed. ”

As soon as she said this, He Rongyao was really anxious. She complained to the princess on the front foot that she had run all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and Xi Cui on the back foot said that she only ran to the Linlang Pavilion family, isn't this obviously dismantling her platform? But to tell the truth, Xi Cui really didn't know what He Rongyao said at the moment, she was just telling the truth.

Speaking of which, it is also strange to He Rongyao, who said that it takes ten lies to tell a lie, but now it is good, before I have time to make up those ten, it has been exposed.

Although the princess was stunned for a moment, she didn't care too much, after all, the little girl's family was coquettish and invited to pet or something, and it was nothing to tell a little lie.

The smile on He Rongyao's face was obviously a little stiff, and she didn't know how to answer Xi Cui, but she was interrupted by the princess's hand that she gently placed on the back of her hand. She quickly understood what the princess meant, and immediately smiled, the princess didn't seem to care about the fact that she was lying. So he smiled, "Yesterday, my sister bought all the good things, I can see those few things is good, where dare to show off in front of my sister, in case I call my sister again, I can......'t buy anything." Isn't that obvious? She is telling the princess how domineering and arrogant she was in Linlang Pavilion yesterday, almost snatching all the good things she can see, and she He Rongyao only dares to hide quietly even if she is a lady of the Hou Mansion.

The princess really heard the taste, looked at Xi Cui and asked, "I heard some of your things yesterday, why are you very familiar with the shopkeeper of Linlang Pavilion?" ”

The princess's two girls who turned around didn't keep up. Even He Rongyao didn't know that he just brought up a topic, how could he remind the princess of this matter, and he really had no intention of inserting willows and willows.

Xi Cui knew what the princess meant, and she was not in a hurry, and replied unhurriedly, "There have been some interactions. Now that I have taken over Jinyi Pavilion, I can be regarded as a person in a circle, and we have some business dealings. ”

Xi Cui is now the shopkeeper of Jinyi Pavilion, and the princess also knows about it, but she is not happy! Although she can't talk about looking down on businessmen, she still has reservations about women engaging in business. Although she hates and admires Mrs. Huai'anhou's domineering and talent, not every woman can become Mrs. Huai'anhou!

"Oh." The princess responded, and listened to Xi Cui's explanation, but whether she accepted it or not was another matter, because she then said, "Now that your identity is different, you still have to pay more attention to your actions in the future, try not to do what you can do if you don't want to make a living, our Nangong family doesn't expect a woman to support the family!" ”

Xi Cui was thinking about how to answer her so that she could not hurt the harmony and make the princess identify with her, but this was difficult.

After being silent for less than half a cup of tea, I heard a crisp and wanton laughter coming from outside, and then a clear and beautiful voice, "Sister, I heard that your future daughter-in-law has arrived, I can't help but want to come and have a look, sister, you won't be surprised, right?" As soon as the words fell, a gorgeous woman in a rose-red dress came into view, only to see her move lightly and walk to Xi Cui, and a pair of apricot eyes carefully looked Xi Cui up and down.

But Xi Cui turned a blind eye to this person and continued to drink tea elegantly.

The princess slapped the table angrily and said loudly, "Aunt Shu, don't lose your proportions!" ”

Only then did Xi Cui know the identity of the person who came, and it turned out to be just an aunt.

Aunt Shu turned a deaf ear to the princess's anger and continued to stare at Xi Cui, Xi Cui glanced at her, took a sip of tea, and said to the maid who was waiting beside the princess, "Why are you so blind!" Don't you see that this minion is disobedient? Since she can't take the initiative to listen to her master's orders, shouldn't you help her obey? ”

After listening to Xi Cui's words, the two maids trembled, looked at the princess cautiously, and then looked at Aunt Shu.

The princess was originally going to speak again, but when she saw such a scene, she wanted to see Xi Cui's methods, so she waved her hand to the two girls and motioned for them to wait and see.

Seeing that the maid beside the princess did not move, Xi Cui put down the teacup, slowly stood up, and raised her height in front of Aunt Shu little by little, and Aunt Shu's eyes gradually rose with Xi Cui, but the disdain in her eyes was clear.

Xi Cui straightened Aunt Shu's coat and smiled softly, "Aunt Shu, the first time I came to the door, I only thought you had never seen the world, and you couldn't figure out the scene, so I didn't care about you." But if you are still so unruly after I enter the door, don't blame me for not being emotional! ”

"You, how dare you talk to me like that?" Aunt Shu naturally felt shameless when she was taught by Xi Cui like this, but she suddenly smiled when she thought about it, looked at the princess's side, and said with a smile, "In the end, I am from a lower background, I don't know that it is reasonable to respect the elders, isn't it, sister?" ”

The princess ignored her and waited to see how Xi Cui responded.

But I saw Xi Cui sit down quietly, her eyes wandering on Aunt Shu's stomach, until she saw Aunt Shu couldn't help but protect her stomach.

Xi Cui sneered lightly, "Dare to ask Aunt Shu, do you mean that you are my elder?" ”

"Am I not your elder?" Aunt Shu asked loudly.

"People are self-aware, Aunt Shu! I am Yufeng's fiancée, and the elders of Yufeng in the Liwang Mansion are my elders. May I ask who you are from Yufeng? When did an aunt dare to call herself the elder of the prince? It's a joke to say something like that! That is, the princess is kind, and you are pregnant with a child and do not want to be careless with you, why do you think I am as good as the princess? It's just the first time we met, and you dare to draw such a conclusion, isn't it too arbitrary? Xi Cui smiled, and there was a cold light in her eyes, which made Aunt Shu have goosebumps all over her body.

But she was used to being arrogant, so she was naturally unwilling to be defeated like this, and said in a loud voice, "Although I am still an aunt, the prince has said that as long as I give birth to this son in my belly, he will raise me as a wife!" A flat wife is also a wife, and sooner or later you will have to bow to me! ”

"Oh? Is a flat wife also a wife? Hehe......" Xi Cui said in a contemptuous tone, but his eyes looked at He Rongyao, "Whether it is a flat wife or an aunt, it is not much use to a woman in terms of identity, and the difference is nothing more than the identity of her children." Aunt Shu, don't say that you are still an aunt now, but one day you will really become a flat wife, and the noble is not yourself but the child in your belly. Therefore, in front of the princess, you are still a minion! (To be continued.) )
