Chen Xiaoxiao knew that she had no right to choose, so she sat in her position under the guidance of the palace maid.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

After sitting down, Chen Xiaoxiao found that there was no one else around except her and the Queen Mother, and a bunch of palace maids.

The Queen Mother ordered someone to bring the snacks and said to Chen Xiaoxiao: "Eat some to cushion your stomach, there is still a long time before the banquet starts." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao twisted a piece of dim sum with her fingers, put it in her mouth and took a bite, sipped it carefully, and smiled brightly at the Queen Mother, "It's delicious, thank the Queen Mother for the reward, the concubine is very happy." ”

The Queen Mother saw that she really liked this sam, and it didn't look like a fake, so there was a bit of truth in her smile, and she asked: "I heard the emperor say, it was you who risked your life to bring grain and grass to the border pass, which solved the urgent need of the army?" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao said the words that she had been working on for a long time in her heart, "At that time, the situation was urgent, and the concubine could only discuss it with the grain transport officer, and the grain transport officer was also an enlightened person, so he immediately agreed to the concubine's request, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, so that the grain and grass were saved." ”

In front of the Queen Mother, she didn't dare to take all the credit on herself.

Who is the Queen Mother, is she lying, you will know at a glance that if she is all on herself, maybe she will immediately cause the Queen Mother's dislike.

The Queen Mother continued: "Yes, an honest child. ”

Chen Xiaoxiao said at this time: "Actually, it's a loss to the princess, if it weren't for the princess's hard work to gather the grain and grass, the concubine wouldn't have been able to take the grain and grass to the border." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao still has to mention what these people do, and others can not ask, but it is different when she says it herself.

She has to behave honestly in front of the Queen Mother.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Xiaoxiao's words came out, the last trace of dissatisfaction that the Queen Mother had hidden under Chen Xiaoxiao's emotions disappeared.

Originally, she thought that this girl from the countryside would definitely take all the credit for herself, but she didn't expect that she was seeing such a humble person now.

is not impatient, nor greedy, it seems that Sheng'er's vision is good this time.

"Good boy." The Queen Mother only said this, and then continued: "The mourning family is a little tired, you go to play first, people are old, it is useless, and the mourning family will rest for a while." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao immediately said: "The Queen Mother is not old at all. ”

She now felt that her mouth was dumb and she couldn't say anything to compliment.

The Queen Mother stood up, patted Chen Xiaoxiao's little hand, and said, "The mourning family knows, you are a good boy, be good yourself, go out and don't make trouble." ”

Where does Chen Xiaoxiao dare to cause trouble, these so many people with noble status, she won't dare to give her hundreds of dares.

"Yes, the concubine knows."

After Chen Xiaoxiao walked out of the main hall, she let out a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.

Bai Zhi hugged the cloak, put it on Chen Xiaoxiao, and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Decai also looked at Chen Xiaoxiao, and the dust fluttered in the cold wind.

Chen Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands and said, "It's okay, the Queen Mother asked me to go to the banquet and wait, nothing big happened." ”

Wang De listened and was relieved.

The three of them, led by the little eunuch, came to the place of the banquet.

Before Chen Xiaoxiao came, there were already many female dependents here, and when they saw Chen Xiaoxiao coming in, they all looked at her curiously.

I watched it, but no one came up to talk to Chen Xiaoxiao.

Some low-grade ones guessed Chen Xiaoxiao's identity, came up to salute and left in a hurry.

So Chen Xiaoxiao stood alone in the corner, and when she met someone with a valuable status, she had to go up to salute.

After she stood for a while, finally a woman in pink clothes walked towards Chen Xiaoxiao, she saluted Chen Xiaoxiao and said, "Concubine Chen just came to the capital, right?" The courtiers are the daughters of the household servants, Xu Jiaojiao, you can change the courtiers Jiao'er, have the side concubines ever used to the weather here? ”

Chen Xiaoxiao's heart was warm, and being cared for by a stranger for the first time made her feel a little good about this woman, "It's okay, I can adapt." ”

Xu Jiaojiao smiled at Chen Xiaoxiao so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and approached Chen Xiaoxiao, "You can come to Jiao'er to play in the future!" ”

As she spoke, she intimately took Chen Xiaoxiao's hand in front of everyone's eyes.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but glance back and forth at them.

Chen Xiaoxiao didn't notice it, nodded and agreed: "If you are free, you must be." ”

Xu Jiaojiao got Chen Xiaoxiao's promise and let go of Chen Xiaoxiao, her tone was a little detached, "The courtier girl retired first and wanted to go out." ”

She turned her back to the crowd, making them think they were talking happily.

Chen Xiaoxiao expressed her understanding and said to her, "Then you can go." ”

Xu Jiaojiao left, and glanced at Chen Xiaoxiao with deep meaning before leaving.

Chen Xiaoxiao was inexplicably looked at by her, and couldn't help but whisper to Wang Decai, "Did I say anything wrong?" ”

Wang Decai shook his head, "No." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao always felt unsure, she took Bai Zhidao to the corner, wanting to check if there was anything abnormal on her body.

With a bang, a jade pendant fell out of Chen Xiaoxiao's cuffs, Chen Xiaoxiao hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, and Bai Zhi blocked in front of her.

After she picked it up, she found that there was a Xu character on the jade pendant, is this Xu Jiaojiao's jade pendant?

Chen Xiaoxiao held the jade pendant in her hand, came to Wang Decai, and asked, "Princess, take a look, is this the jade pendant of Xu Jiaojiao's family just now?" ”

Wang Decai took it and nodded, "Yes, where did you get this from?" ”

It is said that Xu Jiaojiao didn't give Chen Xiaoxiao this jade pendant just now, how can it be in her hands now.

Chen Xiaoxiao shook her head at Wang De, "I don't know, it suddenly fell out of my cuff." ”

She herself is really confused, and it is impossible for this jade pendant to grow her feet and run into her sleeve.

After Chen Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she watched in the hall and didn't see Xu Jiaojiao's figure.

Wang Decai thought of something, and proposed to Chen Xiaoxiao: "Then concubine, you can give the jade pendant to the old slave, the old slave will put it away, and when Xu Jiaojiao comes, the slave will return it to her for you." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and said nonchalantly: "Miss Xu must have forgotten here, just let me here, it's okay, I'll give it to her when I see her." ”

Wang Decai was worried, but he was not sure, so he had to rely on Chen Xiaoxiao.

Chen Xiaoxiao didn't wait for Xu Jiaojiao, she threw the jade pendant from her sleeve into the space, and when she remembered it, she would give it to her.

In the next half an hour, Chen Xiaoxiao not only didn't wait for Xu Jiaojiao, but found that several people stuffed things on her, some were jade pendants, some were hairpins, and anyway, all kinds of valuables that were not easy to find.

They thought that Chen Xiaoxiao hadn't found out, so they snickered and walked away.

Chen Xiaoxiao felt that the thoughts in her head couldn't keep up with their behavior, and wanted to remind them that they were all far away one by one.

She threw it into the space helplessly, and she didn't know how much these things were worth, Chen Xiaoxiao thought to herself, did they want to give her something, but she was embarrassed to say, so she stuffed things in such a strange way.

Wang Decai and Bai Zhi didn't know that Chen Xiaoxiao was stuffed with so many things, otherwise they would have panicked.
