Chapter 521 A congratulatory gift with ulterior motives
"Oops...... As soon as you say that, I also think yes, some time ago, I met her once, and her face was not very good, and I also cared about two sentences, she said that she was not happy for two days, and now she met again, and her face was indeed not much better than then...... "A woman echoed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hey, what's that, the fifth prince's side concubine's body is already a little thinner, and it's normal for her body to be uncomfortable." Some people don't care.
"No, I heard that the fifth prince's side concubine was still in good health before, but it seems that she had a miscarriage because of an injury, and since then, her body has not been very good." Someone interjected again.
"Huh? Did the five princes' concubines have a miscarriage? "Some people don't know anything.
"Won't it?"
"Oh, why not, I'm ......"
The more the women talked, the more lively they became, and the topic became more and more distant.
At the main table, the emperor ate half of the meal, and then went back to the palace first on the grounds of government affairs.
The emperor is gone, and the queen naturally has no need to stay here anymore, besides, the eldest princess and Prince Rong do not welcome her, so she follows the emperor back to the palace.
As soon as the emperor left, the ministers and children of the family at this banquet were completely let go, and most of them drank until they were crooked, and then they were helped to leave.
And the group of people who surrounded Jiang Zhengxi to pour wine, although they were all a little drunk, they were still in high spirits and refused to let go.
Jiang Zhengxi did not refuse to come, eating and drinking cup by cup, in addition to his face flushed, he was also quite conscious.
On the side, Jiang Xiaohan, who was originally tasked with blocking wine, had already been agitated to pour wine in turn, and drank down, holding a wine jar and sleeping happily against the pillar.
And Yan Ruojiu in the new house has already been changed, wearing a nightgown, wearing a coat, and eating.
The sky outside was already completely dark, and while Yan Ruojiu was eating, she was a little sleepy and said, "Ye Qing, when is it?" ”
"Girl, it's already time." Ye Qing replied while pouring water for Yan Ruojiu.
"It's time, it's still so lively outside?" Although the new house is in the inner courtyard, Yan Ruojiu can still hear the joyful noise of the guests outside.
"Hehe, girl, slave maid look, the group of sons of the family just now are all friends of my uncle, and I am very noisy, today is a happy day for my uncle and you to get married, it is estimated that if you don't drink in the dark, they are afraid that they will not let your uncle come back." Ye Qing guessed Yan Ruojiu's thoughts.
"Who asked him if he couldn't come back, really." Ye Qing said this, and Yan Ruojiu's little face turned red again.
"Hehe, good, good, the slave said the wrong thing, and the slave knows the mistake." Ye Qing couldn't help but joke when she saw Yan Ruojiu's blushing face.
"You still say!" Yan Ruojiu was depressed.
"Hehehe...... Don't say it, don't say it, hey, by the way, girl, what does the congratulatory gift that the fifth prince's concubine gave you just now? Ye Qing remembered the congratulatory gift Yan Ruolan sent just now.
"What else can you mean when you get a wedding gift?" The corners of Yan Ruojiu's mouth twitched slightly.
"Girl, no, I saw the way you looked at the bracelet just now, it's not ordinary." Ye Qing is observant.
"Huh, huh? How is it unusual? Yan Ruojiu said with a smile.
"The slave doesn't know clearly, but I think you have strange eyes when you just saw that bracelet, and ...... The reaction of the fifth prince's side concubine was also quite strange, looking at her as if she had a lot to say, but it was difficult to speak, and she hissed...... Stranger than your reaction. Ye Qing said truthfully.
"Hehe, yes, you can see it too?" Yan Ruojiu smiled.
"Girl...... It can't be that there is a problem with this bracelet, right? Looking at Yan Ruojiu's reaction with a smile on her face, Ye Qing said nervously.
"Hehe, bracelet...... No problem......" Yan Ruojiu put down the chopsticks in her hand and chuckled again.
"No problem? However, it was the words of the fifth prince's side concubine...... Sounds strange. Ye Qing frowned and wondered.
"Hehe, what's so strange?" Yan Ruojiu ate the tea ceremony.
"What is yours in the end, and what is returned to its rightful owner? The five princes and concubines really didn't understand a single sentence of these words. Ye Qing muttered.
"Whew...... Actually, it's nothing, it's just a pair of bracelets. Yan Ruojiu hooked the corners of her mouth again.
"This ...... The property is returned to its original owner...... Could it be that this bracelet belongs to you, girl? No, the slave has never seen you wear it, right? Ye Qing was confused.
"Huh...... It's not mine, so you haven't seen it. Yan Ruojiu got up and paced slowly around the room.
"Then, what does it mean that is the side concubine of the fifth prince?" Ye Qing became more and more confused.
"I can't say what she means, but ...... I'll just assume that she really congratulates me. Yan Ruojiu looked out the window at the night and didn't care.
"Girl, the more you talk, the more confused the slave becomes." Ye Qing's brain was about to be knotted.
"Hehe, what's there to be confused about, this bracelet was originally given to the fifth sister by Jeong-hee a few years ago, and the fifth sister just took it as a congratulatory gift and sent it." Yan Ruojiu sneered.
"What? Uncle...... This, this, what does the concubine of the five princes mean, how can there be, how can you give this kind of thing as a gift? Again, it's still like this...... Where is she really congratulating, this is obviously here to block you! As soon as Ye Qing heard the origin of this bracelet, he suddenly became a little uneasy, looking at the jade bracelet in the brocade box, his eyes were full of sparks.
"Huh...... I can't control her intentions, and I don't want to care about them, but what adds to the blockage is me, not her. As soon as Yan Ruojiu saw the bracelet, she already had some understanding of Yan Ruolan's intentions, but she didn't break it at the beginning.
The bracelet that Yan Ruolan gave as a congratulatory gift is indeed made of rare jade, and if you throw away the origin of this bracelet, Yan Ruojiu also really likes it.
It's a pity that she saw this bracelet earlier than Yan Ruolan.
At the beginning, it was Yan Ruojiu who helped Jiang Zhengxi personally choose this jade bracelet and gave it to Yan Ruolan as a gift for Fangchen, and it took a whole afternoon.
Yan Ruojiu remembered that when the eldest sister of Yan Guogong's Mansion was at the funeral, she had also seen Yan Ruolan wearing it in her hand, and she liked it very much.
And now, Yan Ruolan regards such a pair of bracelets as a wedding gift for her and Jiang Zhengxi, and its intention is really unthinkable.
First, Yan Ruojiu didn't want to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and second, she didn't want to be affected by this incident, after all, she was still half a witness to Jiang Zhengxi and Yan Ruolan's past.
Since he knew everything clearly, Yan Ruojiu would not suspect Jiang Zhengxi in this matter, but ...... Yan Ruolan, the fifth sister that Yan Ruojiu used to like very much, today's behavior made Yan Ruojiu suddenly feel strange and alienated.
Although she tried her best to convince herself not to think about it, at such a time, Yan Ruojiu was still a little uncomfortable with such a gift with ulterior motives.
Ye Qing has been by Yan Ruojiu's side for five or six years, she can naturally feel Yan Ruojiu's unhappiness, and she is even more uncomfortable in her heart: "Girl, the fifth prince's side concubine is too much to do this!" No, you have to tell your uncle! ”
"Tell Jiang Zhengxi? Hehe, tell him what to do? Although Yan Ruojiu felt uncomfortable, she hadn't reached the point of being confused, she knew what to do.
"Hey, today is the big day for you and your uncle, isn't it obviously ill-intentioned for the fifth prince and concubine to send such a thing! I'm going to tell my uncle! Ye Qing said indignantly.
"Hehe, they just gave a gift, this is intentional or not, it is also guessed by the two of us, if she doesn't have this intention, we told Zhengxi, wouldn't it embarrass each other, and also affect the relationship between Zhengxi and the five princes." Yan Ruojiu was quite thoughtful.
"People outside praise the five princes' side concubines, the most comprehensive etiquette, the slave doesn't believe it, she can still make mistakes in this matter, besides, the two sentences she just said are definitely not casual, girl, the slave and maid said something that shouldn't be said, you say, the fifth prince's side concubine, is she still worried about her uncle?" Ye Qing didn't plan to think of Yan Ruolan in the best of his mind.
"Huh?" Yan Ruojiu frowned.
"Girl, you, don't be angry, the slave is, just worry, worry." Ye Qing also knew that she was newly married today, and it was not appropriate for her to say this, but Yan Ruolan had done this, and Ye Qing was indeed not at ease.
"Hahahaha...... Hahaha...... "For some reason, Yan Ruojiu stared at Ye Qing for a long time, but finally laughed.
Yan Ruojiu smiled, but the laughter made Ye Qing's heart furious.
