Chapter 49: Alliance
"Bracelets?" Feng Xiuyun glared at King Huai with sharp eyes, what bracelet?
"Naturally, it's the Nanyang jade bracelet given by the Queen Mother, what's the matter, the fifth brother doesn't know?" The corners of King Huai's mouth twitched, revealing a hint of mockery.
Feng Xiuyun was not provoked by him, and gradually gathered away his anger, and closed his eyes to restore peace.
A thought flashed in King Huai's heart, but he felt that he had passed too quickly and could not grasp it, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He raised his eyes to look at Feng Xiuyun, and saw that he didn't seem to continue to care about his thoughts, so he couldn't help frowning, and his heart was a little anxious to see her.
It was already lunch time when they came to Rui Wang's Mansion, and the two of them didn't talk about business for the time being, Feng Xiuyun instructed the kitchen to prepare a few good dishes, and the two brothers went to the side room to eat first.
Jing Qi, who was supervising the cook in the kitchen, heard that King Huai was coming, and secretly had a happy time, where did he care about the porridge, and trotted back to Fang Qinxuan with his feet.
Diexi has been sleeping since she hit the corner of the table last night, and she has been in pain for most of the night, but she is really not deep, and Jingqi's earth-shattering steps have not yet come to the bedside, she has already woken up with a wrinkled face.
"Master, good news, do you want to hear it?" Jingqi's face was full of smiles, and people couldn't help but feel that there must be fraud in it.
Diexi waved her hand with interest, and lay down all night, her back injury seemed to be much better, but she didn't dare to be careless, where was she still in the mood to listen to any good news.
"Oh, you're going to have a show. Just now I heard in the kitchen that His Royal Highness sent someone to spread the word, saying that His Royal Highness King Huai had come down and wanted to add a few more good dishes. You said, His Royal Highness King Huai has come down, is it coming to see you? β
Diexi looked at Jingqi's face with excitement, and pretended to be surprised and exaggerated and asked, "You can't be in love with King Huai!" β
"Master!" Jing Qijiao sighed, sat on the side of the couch and tucked the corners of the quilt for her, pouted a little unevenly and said: "Look at Your Highness, just come back and don't care about you, you have suffered such a big grievance, yesterday I probed the bones and said that I didn't hurt the vital point, but who is to blame for this tossing for a night?"
Look at His Royal Highness King Huai again, he must be in a hurry when you have an accident, and it is easy to look back to His Royal Highness King Rui, and he immediately came to our house, doesn't this care about you?
I'll just say, you must have been confused at the time, hey, if you were in the Huaiwang Mansion, you might have children. β
Diexi tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing an embarrassed smile. I'm afraid it's impossible for this kid to have it, and there's really no taboo for this girl to speak......
"Jingqi, there's no one here, just talk nonsense, go out, this kind of rebellious words must be held back. Also, His Royal Highness King Huai is just a business to come over, don't talk nonsense and go out. β
"But ......"
Jingqi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Diexi shaking her head slightly.
Seeing that Diexi closed her eyes and didn't seem to have any desire/hope to continue, Jingqi lost her enthusiasm as if she had been empowered by a basin of cold water, looked at Diexi aggrievedly, turned around and retreated.
Listening to Jingqi's movements disappear completely, Diexi slowly opened her eyes.
The moment he was thrown away yesterday, although the sharp pain in his waist was like being stabbed by a knife, how could he withstand this heartache. He didn't come over for a night, did he really want to hold a grudge against himself because of some whip cake?
Diexi only felt that his heart had collapsed, his anger was nothing more than that of Concubine Xian, and sure enough, there was a gap between the two of them that could never be crossed. It has nothing to do with other women, and it has nothing to do with his country, this already fragile sympathy can't bear the weight of a whip cake.
Lost but melancholy, he still thought that he might come, even if Xingshi asked for the guilt, there was still a chance to refute, but at the moment, there was only a burst of vanity.
After lunch, Diexi tried to sit up, but after only a while, she felt as if there was a weight on her waist, so she had to lie back down.
Just when I was bored, someone suddenly came to the door to speak, "The princess, the side concubine has come to see you." β
"It's Xia." Jingqi reminded softly in Diexi's ear.
Diexi looked at Jingqi suspiciously, wondering what she was doing? But after thinking about it, he showed a knowing smile and nodded to Jingqi.
Xia Leling entered the room, and was startled when she saw Diexi's face pale for a while. I had heard that she was dying when she was sent back, and it was easy to pick up a life, and I wanted to come in to have a look, but I was stopped at the door. Now that I see it, it's like I'm bumping into a ghost in the daytime.
She opened her mouth, and then bowed, "Concubine Xia Clan greets the princess." β
"Get up." Diexi moved her body and lay on her side to look at Xia Leling, but she didn't see her grandeur when they first met, and her heart was a little more determined.
Xia Leling waved after thanking her, and motioned to the maid next to her to take a brocade box and open it for Diexi to see, while explaining: "I heard that the princess is very sick, and it just so happens that the concubine has a good ginseng there, so I thought about offering it to the princess to make up for you." β
Diexi glanced at Jingqi and asked her to accept it, and smiled slightly, "Xia's has a heart." You all go down first, this concubine has something to say to the Xia family. β
Jingqi was still a little worried, but when he saw Diexi, he shook his head slightly, so he had to retreat.
The door was closed again, and Diexi asked with an interested smile: "If you have something to say, let's say it clearly, this opportunity is rare." β
Xia Leling was still thinking about how to maneuver, but when she heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "The princess is really a smart person." The concubine heard some rumors yesterday, I wonder if this time it was because of a pastry called whip cake? β
Seeing Diexi bowing slightly, she smiled even more and said, "Does the princess really not know what's going on with this whip cake?" β
"The pastries used by the royal family, I only know that it is extremely difficult to make them, and it is not ordinary people who can know it, what does this have to do with Concubine Xian?"
"Oh?" Xia Leling was surprised by Diexi's transparency, picked up the handkerchief and smiled, and then said: "The princess knows but doesn't know, this will be put on the Liao family." Can the princess hear the rumors about the virtuous concubine? β
Her word "that" is very heavy, think about it carefully, Concubine Xian was favored but was poked out of the past when she was divorced, she was embarrassed but she was only snubbed, as for how she was framed by Concubine Shu after that, it was really a secret matter of the palace.
Diexi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. Xia Leling leaned down with a cruel smile, and told the truth of the matter in Diexi's ear.
She thought that Diexi would be surprised when she heard it, but when she raised her body and saw Diexi, she was smiling.
"Xia's sue sΓΉ concubine this, don't you want to endure Liao's anymore?" Diexi put away her expression and met her eyes, and asked with a straight face.
The pierced paper was difficult to recover, and Xia Leling didn't want to be ambiguous, so she smiled and nodded slightly.
