Ling Xiu'er stroked her sideburns, and the wrench on her hand attracted everyone's attention. Everyone here is a well-known figure in the capital, no matter how noble King Qi is, they have seen him many times. The jade wrench on King Qi's hand is worn on his hand at any time, and the sharp-eyed person recognizes it at once.

"What's the matter, how can she have His Royal Highness King Qi's wrench? She won't be ......." This is considered "lively", and the topics in the mouths of those ladies have become speculation and suspicion about Ling Xiu'er's identity.

I knew it was going to happen. Ling Xiu'er sighed in her heart.

This is King Qi's wrench, or the wrench he carries with him. Now it's on the hand of an unknown woman, and no one thinks it's normal. Unless, King Qi has taken a fancy to her. But Ling Xiu'er pulled up all her hair, and only a girl who had been married would comb her hair like this. King Qi fell in love with a married woman?

Several ladies were speechless by their own speculations. King Qi has a noble status, and he doesn't have what kind of woman he wants, and he wants to give it

King Qi is a concubine, I am afraid that he can go around the capital a few times, but he falls in love with a married woman, which is really appalling. Besides, this thing is low-key and will not be talked about at all, and it is so open-minded. The expressions of several ladies who saw Ling Xiu'er changed, and people who did not abide by women's morals were really despised.

"Xiu'er, what's going on with this wrench?" Old Madam Sun also knew that this situation was not good, and asked Ling Xiu'er in a low voice.

"Mother, this matter can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences, I'll tell you more when it's over." Ling Xiu'er looked blank

Nai, this wrench is not what he wants, it was coerced and lured by King Qi, and he forcibly let himself wear it today. As Bai Ding, he has no right to refuse.

"Miss Ling is very good."

Mrs. Yellow Jacket, who had been talking to Ling Xiu'er very happily before, put away the smile on her face, her words were indifferent, and her tone was mocking.

Ling Xiu'er knew that everyone had misunderstood, but she was having trouble opening her mouth now.

At this time, there was a commotion at the door, and Ling Xiu'er looked up to see that it was Pei Yubing. As soon as Princess Qi came in, in view of her status, the ladies were one after another

Salute her. Although Pei Yubing was coquettish in private, she still showed the dignity that a princess should have when she appeared on such an occasion.

A few ladies who were familiar with Pei Yubing walked up to Pei Yubing's side with a fluttering pace, and after a while of muttering, Ling Xiu'er felt a sharp gaze staring at her. Ling Xiu'er followed the past, and sure enough, it was Pei Yubing. She didn't have to think about it to know that Pei Yubing must be looking at the wrench in her hand now.

Ling Xiu'er clearly saw a trace of hideousness flashing on Pei Yubing's face, but in the next second, her expression instantly became aggrieved: "Miss Ling, did you give you this ring from the prince?" Why it's in your hands. I remember you said you loved you before, and now ...... Look at what I said, Miss Ling will soon be a sister. I should be happy. ”

Pei Yubing covered her face with a handkerchief, as if she was wiping away her tears, and the tone of her voice just now was also very sad, as if Ling Xiu'er had done something to hurt her. Pei Yubing pretended to be innocent, but in her words, she did point out that Ling Xiu'er did not abide by women's morals, and shamelessly climbed onto King Qi's bed.

Ling Xiu'er knew that Pei Yubing looked at her as if she was going to eat her. If eyes can kill, 10,000 times is not enough.

"Princess, you have misunderstood me, why is this wrench in my hand, I have to ask you, Princess." Ling Xiu'er said with a smile, her eyes shining with a sly light. Those who know her well know that in this case, the people who work against her will not be able to reap the benefits.

"Me?" Pei Yubing was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, princess, do you remember that you asked the folk girl to embroider a picture of the splendid rivers and mountains before? But after so many days, the princess did not look like settling the wages at all, it was King Qi who was sympathetic to the people and girls, and temporarily used this wrench to offset the wages. “

Pei Yubing never thought of paying Ling Xiu'er, but being pointed out like this on this occasion doesn't mean that he is stingy and in arrears.

"Although we should be more generous as wives, it's just that I didn't expect the princess to distrust His Royal Highness King Qi so much. The princess should be cautious when she speaks in the future, it doesn't matter if she spoils the reputation of the people's daughter, but if it affects the reputation of the prince, it will be inappropriate. ”

"You! What nonsense are you talking about! Pei Yubing couldn't pretend anymore, Ling Xiu'er said in public that she was jealous, no matter right or wrong, she wouldn't be called Pei Yubing if she could bear it!

"Someone! Kick her out for me, we don't welcome her in the Qi Palace. ”

This happened to everyone's surprise. No one dared to speak to Ling Xiu'er in the face of Pei Yubing's anger, naturally it was unnecessary, and the atmosphere was a little delicate.

"Wait, Your Highness the Princess." I don't know when, Zhang Ze actually came to their side, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, today is the birthday of Her Royal Highness the Old Princess, so unlucky." ”

"Hmph. Wait and see. Pei Yubing was persuaded by Zhang Ze, snorted coldly, turned around and left. The wives who surrounded Pei Yubing also left together "mightily".

"Xiu'er, come with me, the old princess wants to see you."

Ling Xiu'er's biggest goal on this trip was to receive an audience from the old princess, she tidied up her appearance, and followed Zhang Ze with steady steps.

The old princess is also very lively, and the people who can stay here with the old princess are her old sisters. The old princess asked because the embroidery of the dress presented this time was extremely exquisite, and learned that she invited an embroiderer named Ling Xiu'er, and her son Zhao Zheng also mentioned Ling Xiu'er to her a few times, so she met Ling Xiu'er this time.

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess." Ling Xiu'er did not hesitate to give the old princess a big gift.

The old princess didn't let Ling Xiu'er get up for the first time, she looked at Ling Xiu'er inside and out, and when she saw the wrench on Ling Xiu'er's hand, the old princess's eyes shrank thoughtfully.

"Get up. Come, give a seat to the spirit girl. ”

Ling Xiu'er obviously felt that the old princess's attitude towards her had changed for the better all of a sudden, could it be because of the wrench in her hand.

"Miss Ling, I heard that you embroidered the embroidery on this dress for me? Yes, yes, I like it very much. ”

"The princess likes it and is a blessing for the people's daughter." Ling Xiu'er was extremely humble, which made the old princess feel a little more satisfied.

"Come on, bring my return gift to Miss Ling, and then give the ruby head in my makeup box to Miss Ling."

The old princess's ruby head? Several old ladies and ladies present couldn't help but be surprised, but when they saw the wrench in Ling Xiu'er's hand, they seemed to have found the reason why the old princess did this.

This return gift was really a little heavier, and Ling Xiu'er hurriedly got up and excused herself: "Your Royal Highness the princess, this is too precious, and the people can't afford it." ”

"No need to excuse myself, I feel cordial when I see you, and the first time you and I meet, it can be regarded as my meeting gift."

The meeting gift given by the elders was not easy to refuse, so Ling Xiuer had to accept it head-on. The old princess looks very amiable, although she has the momentum of a princess, which makes people feel noble and abnormal, but there is no uncomfortable feeling at all, the old princess did not let the field cool down, and kept talking to Ling Xiu'er.

Ling Xiu'er felt that the old princess's attitude towards her was a little abnormal, and she didn't care much about it at first, but when the birthday banquet began, the old princess actually arranged for her to sit next to her, which Ling Xiu'er didn't expect. Originally, it was inconvenient to eat on this occasion, coupled with the meaningful eyes of the ladies, Ling Xiu'er felt uncomfortable, and she finally understood that the old princess was so good to her, I am afraid that she also felt that she was the concubine that Zhao Zheng was about to take into the mansion.

Ling Xiu'er didn't know how to explain, and just when she was fidgeting, Wei Zhishu was late with a congratulatory gift. With a flattering smile on her face, her eyes widened when she saw Ling Xiu'er sitting next to the old princess.

"Zhishu presented a congratulatory gift to the princess, wishing the princess happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." Wei Zhishu first congratulated the old princess on her birthday, and then said to Ling Xiu'er, "Yo, isn't this Mrs. Cao?" I heard that you are the concubine of King Qi who is about to enter the door, but you are really capable. As soon as the husband's front foot died, the back foot clinged to the prince. ”

"You, who did you say died?"
