An Jin felt the gloomy eyes of the fifth princess, and a few curious eyes watching the play, and did not look at everyone, only looked at the county lord of Shu'an with a smile and said: "Well, Xiao Shizi gave me a lot of things in front of the concubine, but this hair comb bead crown was not given by Xiao Shizi, this piece was painted by myself, and I specially asked a jeweler to make it for the ninth princess." ”

Since you have agreed to cooperate with Xiao Ye, you can't just take benefits and not take risks, since someone deliberately singled it out, it is better to admit it openly. But you also have to be in control, and you can't let others feel that you have a personal relationship with Xiao Ye in the future, which is a bit troublesome after all.

If the words of the county lord of Shu'an aroused everyone's curiosity, then An Jin's generous answer without dodging made everyone lose interest, and instead showed her that this bead crown was painted by herself.

But the county lord of Shu'an was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and continued to smile: "I heard that Xiao Shizi brought back a lot of overseas novelties from Lingnan, but I don't see which sisters she sent, so we can't see them. Now only Sister Ruan has his blue eyes and love, why don't we go to Sister Ruan one day and show us something fresh? Then he turned to the others and asked, "Did the sisters say okay?" In the past, when overseas subject countries made offerings, I saw palm-sized clocks inlaid with various gemstones, which were very beautiful. I heard that Xiao Shizi also brought it this time. ”

An Jin is a little annoyed, this little girl is obviously provoking trouble, although her identity is not valuable in this group of people, but she can't blindly back down and endure, because if these noble girls want to find you, they usually won't stop if they don't force you to lose your face and have nowhere to go, she won't let herself be in a passive position.

After the county lord of Shu'an finished speaking, An Jin looked at the county lord of Shu'an seriously and said honestly: "This little girl doesn't know, Xiao Shizi just looks at the face of the concubine and takes some things to deal with the little girl." But if the county lord likes Xiao Shizi's things very much, and he likes Xiao Shizi's blue eyes and love very much, it is better to wait for the little girl to go back to the concubine and Xiao Shizi to return the gift, and see if Xiao Shizi can send it directly to the county lord, so as not to make the county lord think about it. ”

The county lord of Shu'an was shocked, his face was full of blood, and he turned red, is this a fool or a mallet?!

An Geun thinks that she is neither a fool nor a mallet, she just thinks that the royal women are too strong, and she is too subtle, and they will think that they are just scratching, so they have to be straightforward.

The county lord of Shu'an blushed, pointed at An Jin and said angrily: "You, you are so shameless, how do you speak, what do you like Xiao Shizi's blue eyes and love, always thinking about him?" You bitch, so bold! ”

After all, this is the birthday of the Ninth Princess, although she wants to, she doesn't dare to directly step forward and slap An Jin.

An Jin was facing her, frowning and displeased: "What do you say, what blue eyes and love are not what you just said?" Am I wrong? Besides, I just said that you always think about Xiao Shizi's things, but I didn't say that you always think about him, is it that I am wrong again? ”

A soft voice suddenly came from the side and said: "Actually, Sister Shu'an always thinks about what is wrong with Uncle Xiao's things, and I also think about it, the last time I went to the palace of the concubine with my mother, I saw Shuhe's sister's clock, but unfortunately I couldn't touch it." ”

Everyone turned their heads along the voice, but it was the seven-year-old Jiang Xuan who was talking with a yearning face, his voice was soft and crisp, and the content of the speech with that expression really made people laugh, and it actually broke the tense atmosphere just now.

This is the eleventh birthday banquet of the ninth princess, she naturally doesn't want her birthday banquet to become a battlefield, so she followed Jiang Xuan's words and said with a smile: "You girl, I thought you only liked food and shiny jewelry, when did you also like clocks?" She was actually unhappy in her heart, Shu'an was so blind, she couldn't get along with An Jin at her birthday banquet, is this to see that her mother's family does not show that her mother is not valued in the palace?

Jiang Xuan listened to her joke, and thought about it seriously: "That clock is a shiny jewel." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and tacitly diverted what happened just now, and some laughed and asked An Jin how she would think of making her hair comb in this style, as if nothing had happened, only the county lord of Shu'an was still ashamed and angry, and the fifth princess was thoughtful.

The county lord of Shu'an did have a little inexplicable thoughts about Xiao Ye, but not long ago, when he watched Xiao Ye hunting with his brother, he was shocked by his sharp eyes when he shot prey, but Xiao Ye didn't pretend to her, and she also knew that the fifth princess meant nothing to Xiao Ye, so she always had an unspeakable love in her heart. As a result, An Jin broke her mind that she didn't dare to think about.

Everyone laughed for a while, and the ninth princess also pulled An Jin and everyone to look at the gifts given to her by others, including jewelry, calligraphy and painting, and embroidered screens. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, and the ninth princess laughed at Guo Jia, the county lord of Shuwan County, and said, "Our sister is coming and telling Sister Ruan, how did this amazing craft come to be practiced?" ”

The county lord Shuwan, who was wearing a high-waisted moon-white upper skirt and a blue lower skirt, shook her head and smiled: "It's not simple, pay close attention to it, find it, and buy it immediately." The little girl, who was only about eleven years old, was laughed at, but she still looked calm, and there was no shame or embarrassment at all. She is a bit similar to Queen Xiang, both have high noses, deep eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but the eyebrows and eyes are softer and more beautiful.

The ninth princess wanted to laugh at her, but An Jin said happily: "Exactly, there are many people with good crafts in this world, and we can't learn everything, but we can learn to appreciate and search carefully, but we can't see how many beautiful things in this world there are." ”

The lord of Shuhe County of King An's Mansion next to him said with a smile: "This time Jia'er has met a bosom friend, and we always say that we don't understand your elegance that can only appreciate and can't do it, but now there are people who understand you." ”

The county lord of Shuwan raised her eyebrows, and then pulled An Jin to ask her to go to her house another day to enjoy her various strange collections, and her cousin Guo Yao next to her nodded her head and scolded with a smile: "You really think that people are the same as you, I didn't see that Sister Ruan even sent the bead crown was designed by herself." ”

An Jin shook her head and said: "It's just the first time to celebrate the birthday of the Ninth Princess, I want to be special, and what's so difficult to draw a style, it's the palace craftsman who really contributes." Just like this double-sided embroidery, what is so difficult is to draw a picture, but the real difficulty is to embroider her. ”

Although everyone felt that there was something wrong with this logic, they couldn't say what was wrong, but the county lord Shuwan was extremely happy.

During this period, the county lord of Shu'an has been blushing and not speaking, obviously extremely embarrassed but not allowed to attack, after all, this is the birthday banquet of the ninth princess, although she is not afraid of the ninth princess, but in the birthday banquet of the ninth princess, it is estimated that the queen will be displeased.

As the master, although the ninth princess was displeased, she couldn't ignore the county lord of Shu'an, so she gave her eyes to the seventh princess and the two county lords of the Wenjun Wang family, and coaxed the county lord of Shu'an together, and the county lord's face improved.

Everyone joked for a while, and the ninth princess led everyone to the back garden of the east side of the palace of Rongxiu Palace, although the ninth princess did not want to hold a birthday banquet, but went to the back garden, looking at the furnishings of the garden, Anjin still saw that Wen Zhaoyi also spent a lot of thought on her daughter's birthday banquet, only to see that at least thousands of potted flowers were laid out in the garden, among which all kinds of chrysanthemums were the mainstay, the flowers were all blooming, colorful, competing with each other, many of them were cherished varieties that Anjin had only seen in the previous life, Seeing that these potted flowers are in full bloom just right, it is obvious that they were specially cultivated and specially moved.

It's cloudy today, it's autumn again, and the weather is cool, so it's a good time to play outside. Seeing that this is a good color of flowers, everyone is in a good mood, so they let the palace maid take the props to play the pot game, and the ninth princess even took some of the new jewelry from the south of the Yangtze River sent by her uncle's family as a color head, and you can choose one if you win each round.

These noble ladies obviously usually play this game, and they are all good, only An Jin, the young Jiang Xuan and the daughter of the civil official family are not half a star, and one out of ten is considered good.

Jiang Xuan refused to play anymore, sat down under the flower shelf, and said softly: "Don't compare this with you, I have little strength, and it's not cost-effective to compare with you." ”

Everyone laughed, and the ninth princess ordered someone to fetch her a few boxes of snacks, and sat under the flower shelf to eat and watch.

Everyone played for more than half an hour, Jiang Huang ate the entire second half in small bites, and when everyone was tired of playing, all of them were red and fluttering, and the corners of their foreheads were full of sweat.

The ninth princess smiled and ordered the palace maids to fetch water, and simply cleaned their hands and faces in the hallway, and then took them to an octagonal pavilion in the middle of the artificial lake not far away.

There was a long corridor between the pavilion and the house, and now in the corridor of the pavilion and the section on the lake, shelves covered with red curtains were placed, and all kinds of snacks and fruits were prepared on the shelves, and the variety of snacks was dazzling and exquisite, mainly in a variety of styles, which were somewhat different from what they had always eaten.

The little girls, who were already tired of playing and felt hungry, were immediately attracted by all kinds of snacks. The palace ladies had already laid tablecloth chairs on the tables and chairs in the pavilion, and there were also more than a dozen plates of dim sum and a stack of blue and white plates on the table. Because the pavilion was crowded, the palace maids and maids brought by everyone stayed in the corridor, and only they entered the pavilion.
