Chapter 130: Two Sleeves Breeze
When those ladies saw Yan Zixi coming, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and someone who knew them immediately shouted.
"Am I right? This...... Isn't this Princess Xiao at yesterday's poetry meeting? I didn't think she was here too?! ”
"What, it turns out that she is Princess Xiao?! I heard that she wrote ten poems in a row at the poetry meeting yesterday, and even the lady concubine was ashamed of herself! ”
"I heard that Princess Xiao was originally a folk medical girl, but she has superb medical skills, and she has cured the emperor's evil disease that the imperial doctor can't cure.
"That's it, this time she flew up the branch and became a golden phoenix...... Now that he has written such a famous poem for the ages, he really envy us......"
"See Princess Xiao!" Everyone talked about it, and immediately walked over and gave a blessing to Yan Zixi.
Yan Zixi didn't expect that she could still have this kind of treatment, trying to hold back the smile on her face, she nodded lightly, and said to everyone: "Okay, everyone is exempt!" Zixi is a junior, but she can't afford such a big gift from your ladies! ”
As soon as Yan Zixi said this, she immediately won the favor of those ladies.
"Princess Xiao is really good at laughing, how can she not be able to bear our courtesy?"
"That is, no one knows that General Wushuang holds military power, which is the cornerstone of the Great Xiao Dynasty, and Princess Xiao can naturally accept this blessing."
"Yes, I thought that Princess Xiao was as cold and ruthless as the concubines in the palace, but I didn't expect to be so approachable and easy to talk to......"
When everyone was discussing, a young woman wearing a golden silk phoenix robe and a glass gauze skirt slowly walked in, covered in jewels, dazzling and dazzling, as soon as she appeared, she became the focus of everyone's attention, and Yan Zixi's limelight was overshadowed at once.
The young woman was none other than the second princess Xiao Yuxian's wife, the second imperial concubine Zhao.
When the ladies saw the second imperial concubine entering the hall, they all leaned over and greeted her, and their mouths were full of all kinds of flattering flattery, for fear of offending her.
After all, the second prince is now very respected and favored by the emperor, and he is almost regarded as the successor of the crown prince, and they dare not touch the brow of the second princess.
The eyes of the second imperial concubine were naturally all on Yan Zixi's body, and seeing that Yan Zixi did not come over to scold herself like everyone else, the second imperial concubine immediately showed a trace of displeasure on her face.
"Yo? Princess Xiao really had a big show, and she didn't come to greet this princess when she saw her? ”
When Yan Zixi heard this, she walked over, knelt down respectfully, and saluted: "The second imperial concubine forgives her sins!" Zixi saw the second princess's face for the first time, and was stunned for a while, and asked the second princess to forgive me! ”
"Humph!" The second imperial concubine snorted coldly, and said with a smile in her mouth: "My sister is serious!" Now who doesn't know you, the new general's wife, Princess Xiao! Your deeds have been spread all over the palace, which really makes this princess ashamed! ”
"Second Imperial Princess, you are laughing, Zixi He De and how can he be, he just did what he should do and said what he should say. It's you, the second princess, who specially held a fundraising meeting today, and you really love Ming Ruzi! ”
"You ......" The second princess heard Yan Zixi's words, gritted her teeth, and couldn't help but glance at Yan Zixi more, thinking that this Princess Xiao was really extraordinary, sharp teeth, quick response, and it didn't seem easy to deal with.
People like this will either be drawn into their own camp, or they will simply be eliminated to prevent future troubles.
In any case, it must not be kept, and it cannot be left alone, and if she joins other camps, it will really be endless trouble.
What's more, her husband is above 10,000 people under one person, and Xiao Jingcong, a peerless general who is in charge of 100,000 soldiers, must not become an enemy with her.
Thinking of this, the second imperial concubine tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, squeezed out a smile and said to Yan Zixi.
"Since my sister knows, I guess today's fundraising will not disappoint this princess."
Saying that, the second princess swept everyone away, and continued: "Okay, the time is almost up, don't hide it, don't hide it, donate the money you brought, I will let Mr. record them one by one, and let His Royal Highness the Second Prince distribute them outside the city for disaster relief on the next day!" ”
As soon as the words were finished, the ladies lined up and donated the treasures and money they had brought.
The second princess asked the housekeeper and the teacher to sit at the desk and recorded all the things donated by the ladies in detail.
"Mrs. Li of the Prime Minister's Mansion donated one hundred taels of gold, three hundred taels of silver, twenty strings of pearl necklaces, and two pairs of white jade bracelets!"
The butler replied loudly, and everyone screamed when they heard this.
"The Prime Minister's wife is really generous!"
"yes, yes, I donated so much ......"
"Well, we're not up to ...... at all."
Most of the ladies who followed donated five hundred taels of silver, or more than ten pairs of jewelry, and soon arrived at the second imperial concubine.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and when he saw the second imperial concubine winching, the housekeeper coughed, as if he intended to remind everyone.
"The second princess of the Second Prince's Mansion donated 1,000 taels of gold, 2,000 taels of silver, 30 white jade pearls, and 20 strings of jade necklaces!"
Boom~~~59 Library
Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard the butler report the amount of the second imperial concubine's donation, and after a moment of silence, they broke out.
"Oh my God! The second imperial concubine is the second imperial concubine in the end, it is really too generous! ”
"Hey, it is said that the second prince and the second princess love the people like a son, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it completely!"
"That's it, the second princess is willing to donate so much silver and jewelry for disaster relief, she is really a model for us......"
"Yes, it's best to play the Holy Lord, so that the Holy Lord also knows the good intentions of the Second Imperial Concubine!"
Those ladies immediately praised the second imperial concubine again, and good words came out of their mouths one after another.
The second imperial concubine seemed to be very satisfied with such a scene, with a smile on her face, immersed in the beautiful words of praise from everyone and couldn't help herself.
This scene lasted until Yan Zixi came on the field and stopped slightly.
Yan Zixi glanced at Xiaomei beside her, and Xiaomei took the small delicate wooden box and sent it to the housekeeper for him to look at.
Everyone also stood on tiptoe and came over to the desk, wanting to see how much the new Princess Xiao would donate.
"I heard that Princess Xiao is also very generous, I don't know if I can compare to the second princess!"
"Just look at it......"
In front of everyone, the butler slowly opened the small delicate wooden box, and when he took out the two pieces of jade and jade inside, it immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
"Oh my God, what is that, two pieces of jade and jade?!"
"Wouldn't it? How could Princess Xiao of the dignified General's Mansion send out such two broken stones? ”
The hall exploded again, as if it was no more sensational than the second imperial concubine just now.
The difference is that the previous sensation was that everyone was amazed at the second princess's generosity and casually donated so much money and two pieces of jewelry. And this time, the sensation was that everyone was shocked that Princess Xiao was so stingy, and only donated two pieces of jade and jade with a combined value of less than two hundred taels......
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the box carefully, they would rather believe that they had read it wrong, or that they had missed it, rather than believe that Yan Zixi had really donated only two pieces of jade and jade.
It wasn't until the butler repeatedly confirmed and reported the accounts that everyone dispelled the doubts in their hearts and believed the facts in front of them.
"Princess Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion donated two pieces of jade and jade......"
The ladies each shook their heads, and their mouths whispered and questioned.
"Hey, why do you say this Princess Xiao is so stingy and donated two pieces of jade and jade? That's not as much as I donate? ”
"Who knows? Maybe, Princess Xiao is also showing the scenery, and in fact, she can't come up with any money......"
"Yes, don't forget, Princess Xiao is also from the people, and it's normal not to be pampered, maybe it's really because she's too lonely......"
Although those people had deliberately lowered their voices and were discussing, they were still heard by Yan Zixi and the second imperial concubine.
Yan Zixi didn't have any change in her face from beginning to end, and she had even imagined such a scene a long time ago.
And the second imperial concubine is different.
She walked over, glanced at Yan Zixi, and asked with a smile: "Princess Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Is the Zhenguo General's Mansion already poor like this? Can't even pull out a few silver coins? ”
Yan Zixi didn't answer, but Xiaomei, who was standing behind Yan Zixi, gritted her teeth, clenched her pink fist, and muttered angrily in her heart.
"What do you mean by the second princess? It's clear that even if you are mocking my princess and our Zhenguo General's Mansion! The princess too, knowing that there are such consequences, why did she only bring so many things......"
Xiaomei was puzzled, and she didn't dare to talk much, after all, she was just a maid in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, but she was not qualified to speak here.
Yan Zixi was still calm, and she didn't seem to take the words of the second imperial concubine to heart at all, but instead glanced around at everyone, and spoke slowly.
"The second imperial concubine Mingjian, our Zhenguo General's Mansion has always been honest, from the old prince to the servants, all of them are patriotic and love the people, with clean sleeves, and they have never taken a fortune, except for the emperor's reward, there has never been any other income, so ......"
After a slight pause, Yan Zixi looked at the second imperial concubine and continued.
“…… Therefore, the Zhenguo General's Mansion is naturally not as generous as other ladies, let alone with the noble Second Imperial Concubine! ”
Everyone still didn't understand the deep meaning of Yan Zixi's words, but nodded on the side: "I see, Princess Xiao is not easy." ”
"It's just ......"
Only after hearing Yan Zixi's words, the two imperial concubines' faces changed suddenly!
