Chapter 30: The Dowry
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the deep memory became clear, and this earring seemed to have been seen by the original owner's mother herself.
But logically speaking, these things should be in those dowries, how can they be in a servant?
"Your gold earrings are chic, where did they come from?" Sun Qingqing asked as if unintentionally.
Thinking that Sun Qingqing had taken a fancy to her earrings, this Qian Mama hurriedly took off her earrings, presented them to Sun Qingqing with both hands, and said in a flattering tone: "This jewelry is given to the slave by Mrs. Su, if the princess likes it, the slave will give it to the princess." ”
"You are an inferior minion, Su is so kind? Will give you such good gold earrings? She spoke in a threatening tone.
Don't tell the truth?
Mama Qian smiled embarrassedly, and secretly said that Sun Qingqing was very thoughtful, so she told her all the truth, "This thing is because a few days ago, Mrs. Su asked the slave to supervise the princess, and then Mrs. Su paid the slave." ”
Seeing that she was quite honest, Sun Qingqing nodded, took the earrings and looked at them carefully, and found that it was indeed the thing in the dowry.
Shoved the earrings back into her hand, she raised her chin, "How can this princess use the things you have used, it's just that the princess thinks this thing is familiar, so you can keep it." ”
With a sneer, Mama Qian hurriedly took the earrings back.
Thinking about it like this, Sun Qingqing realized that she hadn't seen it since she asked for those dowries, and her heart was uneasy, and she wanted to take a look at it right now.
"You can step down first, Ah Ling, and take her to resettle."
Ah Ling didn't expect her own young lady to accept such a snobbish Qian Mama, Rao is so, she still doesn't like this mama.
Raising her chin, Ah Ling's little face was arrogant, "Let's go, Mama Qian." ”
Mama Qian was well aware of the fact that this person had to bow his head under the eaves, so she smiled and hurriedly followed.
Seeing that the room was finally quiet, Sun Qingqing didn't stay anymore at the moment, thinking about going to take a look at his dowry.
However, when Zhao De was found, Zhao Decai said that the key was in Li Shengshu's hand.
"May I ask Steward Zhao, I don't know where the prince is now?" Sun Qingqing said softly.
Zhao De shook his head, "The slave is just a housekeeper, and he doesn't know the specific whereabouts of the prince, but the prince may have something important, and I didn't see him in the palace this morning." ”
"If the princess is in a hurry, the servant can call someone to inform the prince." Zhao Debi was respectful.
Sun Qingqing raised her hand, shook her head and said, "It's just a trivial matter, don't bother him." ”
If you bother him because of this matter, maybe Li Shengshu will look at himself when he comes back later.
In desperation, Sun Qingqing had to say goodbye to Zhao De.
However, as he passed by the back garden, he heard a noisy quarrel coming from inside.
Dai frowned slightly, secretly said which person was so bold as to dare to make trouble in the palace?
With a move in her heart, Sun Qingqing lifted her skirt and walked in the direction of the noisy sound, and after a closer look, she found that the two people in front of her were actually her acquaintances.
"You're just a minion, why do you dare to talk to me in such a tone?" Qiaoxin's face was arrogant, and her beautiful face looked a little mean at the moment.
And the cuckoo in front of her wore a delicate tulle on his face, and he could not see joy or anger.
She could only see a pair of beautiful eyes exposed outside, she looked at Qiaoxin and smiled mockingly, "Say that I am the slave of the prince, but aren't you the same?" You used to be the slave of the Queen Mother, although you gave it to the prince, then you are also a slave, before the prince gave you the title of a righteous child, what can you be noble? ”
"Don't really take yourself seriously, who in this palace has the final say." The tone is sarcastic, and he doesn't take ingenuity into account at all.
Qiaoxin trembled with anger at Cuckoo's words.
Sun Qingqing watched the two dog-eat-dog for a long time.
said that it was too late, Qiaoxin reached out and wanted to slap it, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was held by the cuckoo's slender wrist.
Du Juan is a practitioner, this hand is very strong, plus she deliberately wants to give this Qiao Xin a dismount, for a while, Qiao Xin was so distressed that tears flowed.
"Let go of me, you!" Rao is like this, this ingenuity is still unforgiving.
The cuckoo sneered, and his men became more and more forceful.
Qiao was sweating in distress, but at this moment, when his eyes glanced out, he saw Sun Qingqing's figure, and he didn't care about face at the moment, so he hurriedly shouted for help: "Help, the princess is murdering, help!" ”
Seeing that he couldn't stay out of it, Sun Qingqing walked out, pretending to be puzzled and frowning, "What happened?" What happened to you? Cuckoo, why are you doing that? ”
Originally, his face was the victim of Sun Qingqing, but the cuckoo immediately snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore her.
Sun Qingqing's eyes sank, "Du Juan, what kind of attitude do you have?" Do you think that in this palace, your status is higher than that of this princess, so you don't take this princess in your eyes? ”
A few words put the cuckoo at a disadvantage.
The cuckoo knew that the etiquette was not good, so he hurriedly saluted Sun Qingqing, "The princess and the mother, please forgive the sin, the slave and maid were just angry, and they didn't mean to be inconsiderate." Please calm the anger of the princess. ”
"Mother, save me! She was just going to kill me. Qiaoxin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stood behind Sun Qingqing.
Seeing that her wicked person sued first, Du Juan's face turned cold, and he hurriedly said: "Heh, if it weren't for this ingenious girl mocking the slave's face, how could the slave and maid do such an impulsive thing?" ”
Hearing the two of them say this, Sun Qingqing immediately understood the doorway.
"I'm just curious, why are you wearing a veil on this hot day? I thought I was as beautiful as a fairy, so I accidentally lifted your veil. "Not to be outdone.
"Is it really accidental?" The cuckoo did not show weakness, and his tone was compelling.
"Just carelessly!" Ingenuity is determined.
"Then since you unintentionally lifted the veil of the slave maid, why do you still mock the slave maid?" Cuckoo asked rhetorically.
"It was just an unintentional mistake, and why did you hurt me so hard just now, my hand is now immobile." Looking at his wrist, which was red and swollen in an instant, Qiaoxin's face became more and more ugly.
Because she has followed Li Shengshu since she was a child, this cuckoo has a lot of prestige in the house, and no one has dared to say this about her for more than ten years.
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Sun Qingqing hurriedly raised her hand and motioned for the two to be quiet.
She has no feelings for these two people, and she doesn't want to get involved in this troubled water.
"It's just a misunderstanding, you two can apologize to each other."
Hearing Sun Qingqing's method, both of them turned their heads and snorted, unwilling to apologize to each other.
This cuckoo still thought in his heart that this Sun Qingqing was here to help Qiaoxin, and he didn't have a good face for her at the moment.
Seeing that the soft one was not good, Sun Qingqing's face was slightly gloomy, "In that case, the two of you will go to the ancestral hall to copy the Buddhist scriptures!" ”
"The ancestral hall is quiet, and this princess thinks that it can just appease your impatient heart." She opened her mouth and took out the posture of the princess.
Although he didn't want to get involved, he couldn't allow the two to be wild in front of him.
The two were speechless.
"Come on, take the two of you to the ancestral hall!"
As soon as the words fell, several people around him hurriedly stepped forward and took the two down.
The two looked at each other, although they didn't like Sun Qingqing's handling method, but when they saw her take out the posture of the princess, they couldn't say anything more at the moment.
Just after dealing with the matter of the two of them, when he turned around, he saw Zhao De's figure, Sun Qingqing hurriedly asked, "Is the prince back?" ”
Zhao De nodded, as if he didn't expect Sun Qingqing to be so concerned about Li Shengshu, and smiled at the moment, "The prince is already in the study, just go to the princess." ”
As soon as Sun Qingqing arrived in the courtyard, she saw a maid walking towards the study with pastries in her hand.
Seeing her in front, he hurriedly saluted her.
"Slaves and maidservants participate in the princess."
Sun Qingqing's eyes touched her delicate pastry, and she bowed slightly, "No courtesy, is this for the prince?" ”
"Yes."
"Leave it to me."
Thinking that he couldn't leave empty-handed if he had something to do, Sun Qingqing reached out and took the pastry.
"Then it's going to trouble the princess."
"No problem."
Holding the pastry, as soon as Sun Qingqing arrived at the door, he heard a man's indifferent voice inside.
"The princess is really interested today, and she knows to come and see this king."
Hearing the ridicule in Li Shengshu's tone, Sun Qingqing was slightly embarrassed, and quickly pushed open the door and went in.
"Look at what the prince said, why is it so angry?" She was generous and placed the Qinghe porcelain nine turntable with plum blossom cakes in front of him.
"The princess is really considerate today." Touching the plate of slightly steaming plum blossom cakes, Li Shengshu put down the brush in his hand, smiled meaninglessly, and raised his eyes to look at her.
The slender fingers twisted a plum blossom cake, the fragrance of plum blossoms came to the nose, mixed with the slight sweetness of sucrose, which made people feel a little happy.
I saw him push the Qinghe porcelain nine turntable forward, "Just baked, you can be regarded as having a heart, you also have a piece?" ”
Sun Qingqing was inexplicably embarrassed, and hurriedly waved her hand, "No need, the concubine has already eaten." ”
"And on this trip, the concubines just have some things to ask." Sun Qingqing opened his eyes.
Knowing that she would not come to the door without incident, Li Shengshu was a little disappointed for some reason, and then smiled lightly: "I don't know what the princess wants to ask?" ”
"Lord, do you know where the dowry of the concubine is?"
"Your dowry?" Li Shengshu lowered his eyes and pondered, only then did he remember that the wedding was really simple that day, and the dowry was locked in the treasury at will, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, and replied truthfully: "In the warehouse, what's wrong?" ”
"Then can the prince give me the key, the concubine wants to go and see the concubine's dowry." Sun Qingqing covered her eyes and said truthfully.
Seeing that she came today only for her own dowry, Li Shengshu was inexplicably a little displeased, put down the plum blossom cake in his hand, and his inky eyes were churning with darkness.
"Do you think that this king still covets your little wealth?" Li Shengshu sneered.
"How could my dignified King Rui take your little dowry in his eyes?"
